Murder

Chi Yebai fell into a drowsy sleep on the bed, but was finally woken up by the smell of blood.

The taste is neither strong nor light, and it is also mixed with the aroma of herbs.He opened his eyes and heard Sima Feng carefully closing the door and walking towards the bed.

"What's wrong with you?" Chi Yebai was taken aback.

Sima Feng was very embarrassed, with injuries on his face and arms.Although it was not a serious injury, the cut on the arm was already fleshy, and medicine had been applied to it.Half of his sleeve was torn off, and the coat was covered with traces of dust and a few bloodstains.

Seeing his hesitation, Chi Yebai frowned and thought about it, and guessed in his heart: "...my mother did it?"

"How do you know?" Sima Feng asked in surprise.

"..." Chi Yebai sighed and lay back on the bed.His mother is really not easy to fool.

Sima Feng didn't dare to rub against his bed, moved a stool and sat by the bed, and told all the things that just happened in the training ground.

Yingsuo is indeed more difficult than Chi Xingjian, because she is more fierce than Chi Xingjian.The Nine-Legged Snake Bone Whip came fiercely and moved in a treacherous way. Sima Feng had very little experience in fighting whips, so he was severely whipped on the arm in the first few moves.

Yingsuo didn't expect that he would hurt him as soon as he made a move, so he was also taken aback, and immediately withdrew his hand and pulled the snake bone whip back.The whip was extremely heavy, but she swung it very nimbly. Sima Feng tore off the corner of his clothes and bound it hastily, signaling to continue beating.

But then, Insuo's offensive was not so heavy.The snake bone whip is difficult to deal with because it is heavy and the direction of the move is unpredictable.Sima Feng didn't speculate on Yingsuo's thoughts at all, and didn't deal with the whip, he jumped up and charged at Yingsuo.But he didn't expect the snake bone whip to be so flexible, the tip of the sword had just swept the pearl hairpin on Yingsuo's head, and there was another severe pain on his back: the whip had been pulled back.

Sima Feng had no choice but to jump away immediately to dodge.

The two went through nearly a hundred moves in a row, but Sima Feng couldn't get any advantage from Yingsuo.

"Mother is very powerful..." Chi Yebai said softly, "Even Daddy may not be able to beat her. Take off your clothes and let me see the wound on your back."

"It's bandaged." Sima Feng said, "Your mother bandaged it."

"...she's hard-spoken and soft-hearted."

"I know." Sima Feng said with a smile

In the end, he "won" Insel's trick, but in fact he won not very well.Since his arm and back were injured, Yingsuo didn't dare to attack fiercely. Sima Feng vaguely understood that Yingsuo was afraid that he would seriously injure himself.He knew that Ying Suo and Chi Xingjian had watched him grow up, and they were soft-hearted people. After thinking about it for a few times, he suddenly remembered Chi Xingjian's twin swords.

The area around the training ground is empty, but there are half a circle of trees growing.Under the whipping of the nine-edged snake bone whip, many branches broke off one after another.

Sima Feng was forced to the sidelines by the snake bone whip, but Ying Suo still pressed on step by step and did not relax.But at the next moment, Sima Feng suddenly ignored the attack of the snake bone whip as before, and ran straight towards Ying Suo.

Yingsuo couldn't beat him directly with the snake bone whip. With a movement of his wrist, the whip turned, and the tip of the whip flicked back. Just as he was about to whip Sima Feng's back again, Sima Feng suddenly saw Sima Feng's arm flicked, and then something pointed at him. Lasing from his own face.

Yingsuo thought that he was throwing his weapon out of his hands, and quickly dodged. The next moment, there was a slight wind behind him.

What Sima Feng threw was not a sword, but a branch.And he has taken advantage of the opportunity of Yingsuo to dodge and fell behind Yingsuo.

The distance between the two was extremely close, if they were really hostile, Sima Feng would have killed Yingsuo immediately.

Insuo snorted, withdrew his internal force, and the snake bone whip fell heavily to the ground again.

"My mother has no less experience in fighting the enemy than my father, so she won't be able to see that what you threw is a tree branch?" Chi Yebai couldn't believe it, "...She let you win on purpose, right?"

"Your mother told me that if I can't beat him, I will never see you. You mean, your mother is not willing to let me lose, not willing to see you?" Sima Feng laughed, "This It's a good fortune to return to me, and the two seniors of Ying Beishe have competed with me, this luck is extremely rare."

Chi Yebai slowly got up from the bed.He still couldn't speak much, so he took Sima Feng's hand.Sima Feng noticed that his hands were cold and trembling, so he held them tightly.

"Don't be afraid." He whispered, "Your parents... love you very much."

"...I know." Chi Yebai also responded in a low voice.

Where did Chi Xingjian and Yingsuo know and when did they know their attitudes? Chi Yebai and Sima Feng did not get a specific statement.But the two of them also vaguely understood that this was a permission.

Chi Yebai was both happy and sad.He didn't know how to explain this emotion, and felt that it might be difficult for Sima Feng to understand.

In the wordless silence, Sima Feng was thinking about another thing.

After the fight, Yingsuo walked quickly to Chi Xingjian, urging him to leave quickly.Sima Feng followed slowly and heard what the couple said.

Chi Xingjian holds the snake bone whip for Ying Suo.With a slight smile in his tone, he asked Yingsuo after looking at the snake bone whip, "Isn't it the nine-edged snake bone whip? Where's the iron edge on this whip?"

Yingsuo paused and lowered his voice: "I asked Murong to take it off."

"With these iron edges, aren't they more powerful?"

"What if the child is really broken?" Yingsuo said in a slightly higher voice, and hurriedly turned to look at Sima Feng.Sensing that Sima Feng could hear the conversation between the two, she snorted through her nose: "If you really break people, Ying Beishe will have an enemy with the Sima family. I don't want to have such a big enemy."

"Yes, yes." Chi Xingjian nodded repeatedly, and said with a smile, "Madam thinks more than I do."

Yingsuo blushed, then grabbed the snake bone whip from his hand and walked away quickly.

"Go to your senior sister and ask her to apply the medicine for you." Chi Xingjian turned around and said to Sima Feng, Sima Feng quickly responded and followed Ying Suo.

Seeing that he was absent-minded, Chi Yebai asked him what he was thinking.

"It's nothing." Sima Feng smiled, "Your parents actually love me too."

Chi Yebai looked at him suspiciously: "...Oh?"

After staying in Yingbeishe for a few days, Sima Feng asked Gan Yue and Song Beiyan to stay, and went back to Pengyang first.

Shuanghua is Sima Liangren's informant, but because it is inconvenient for Sima Liangren to enter the Jinyan Pond, and it is inconvenient for Shuanghua to appear near Sima's house, Sima Feng and Ah Si have always been the ones to meet her.After Sima Feng returned home, he found out that during his absence, Sima Liang asked Ah Si to take over his work as a connector.

"Why did you bring Ah Si into this?" Sima Feng was very dissatisfied.

"He is a member of our family, so he will be dragged in sooner or later." Sima Liang didn't argue with him, and immediately asked him to go to Jinyan Pond to find Shuanghua.

Although Ah Si took over Sima Feng's work, he still couldn't let him know about things that were too confidential.When Sima Feng found Ah Si at home, Ah Si was brushing his horse.

"Master!!!" After many days, finally seeing him, Ah Si was so excited that he opened his hands and was about to pounce on him.

Sima Feng stepped back again and again: "You are too dirty!"

"Oh?" Ah Si looked down, "I just cleaned the stable."

"You wash the stables?" Sima Feng asked curiously, "Where are Uncle Zhang and Uncle Liu?"

Ah Si was a little hesitant: "They...young master, it's strange to say that many servants in the family have been sent home by the master during this time. Even Uncle Zhang and Uncle Liu who are homeless, the master also I gave them money and asked them to return to their hometowns, but they refused to leave them to work at home. ... Is something going to happen?"

Sima Feng snatched the brush from his hand and threw it back into the bucket: "Nothing will happen. You change your clothes immediately, and go with me to the Golden Mist Pond to find Shuanghua."

In the past, although Ah Si knew that Sima Feng always went to Jinyan Pond to find Shuanghua, he also knew that the relationship between the two was innocent and there was no love between men and women.He roughly knew that Shuang Hua's identity might be more than Qing Guan's, but he really didn't expect that she was actually an informant that Sima Liang placed in the Golden Mist Pond to investigate Prince Lu's mansion.

According to Shuanghua, King Lu has always liked the girls from Qinshuangyuan very much, and he prefers to listen to music.Sima Liangren rescued her who was about to be sold to Goulan by her elder brother and sister elsewhere, and sent her to Qinshuang courtyard with some thought.Shuanghua's piano skills were very high, and he immediately won the favor of King Lu.There are also informants of Sima Liangren in King Lu's mansion, but no one can enter King Lu's private banquet, except Shuanghua.

At the private banquets in Prince Lu's mansion, Shuanghua is often in charge of playing the piano.In order to keep her freshness, she spends all her spare time practicing piano and composing music, so she can present new songs from time to time. The King of Lu loves her very much, and has asked Shuanghua several times if she would like to be a special piano player in the Palace of King Lu. .But Qinshuangyuan's mother didn't want to part with Shuanghua, and Princess Lu definitely didn't welcome Shuanghua, so the matter was left alone.

After Ah Si knew about these twists and turns, her feelings towards Shuanghua completely changed.

"I didn't know Miss Shuanghua was such a person before." He said.

Sima Feng was riding with him to the Golden Mist Pond, when he heard him talking, he asked casually, "How is it?"

"Don't you think it looks like a heroine?" Ah Si's eyes sparkled, "I am in the fireworks field, but I am shouldering such a secret mission, and I have been passing on information for the past few years without making any mistakes. Not only the female She is a heroine who is brave and careful, and has strong martial arts skills."

"The information has never been wrong, but it is also because there is no important information." Sima Feng said in a low voice, "I have talked with my father and let him set Shuanghua free. Shuanghua is willing to do it to repay his kindness." This is a dangerous matter. There has been no big movement in the Lu Palace, so the information that Shuanghua can convey does not pose any threat to the Lu Palace, so no one cares about it. But if there is any change in the Lu Palace, their precautions must be stricter Shuanghua is used to passing on information, and because she has been safe for the past few years, she is also full of confidence in herself."

Ah Si fell silent.

"It's too easy to have an accident." Sima Feng frowned, looking at the empty street in front of him.Because it had just rained heavily, there were only a few lonely lanterns on the road.The lights were reflected on the road, shining mottledly all the way.

Ah Si asked him, "Is there anything you can do?"

"No." Sima Feng tugged at the reins, turned to look at Ah Si, "Si, you like Miss Shuanghua, don't you?"

Ah Si's face blushed, and he was in a hurry: "No, no, no."

Sima Feng said seriously: "If you like him, you should save money to redeem him."

Ah Si sounded like a gnat: "I'm saving..."

Sima Feng: "...Oh, you really like her!"

Ah Si: "Young master, you are too loud!"

Sima Feng: "There's no one here. When did you fall in love, tell me about it in detail?"

Ah Si hesitated.

Sima Feng: "The young master will give you advice. I have known Shuanghua for a long time, and I know what she likes."

Ah Si was finally persuaded, and said many things slowly.
