Jiangshan Fengwuzhi

Chapter 142 Sworn Brothers
Xinwangfu.

When Yin Yucheng heard the news that Gu Jingnian had arrived, he was not surprised.

Seeing Yin Shu about to stand up, he waved his hand, tried to appease her, and said, "Don't worry, let me perform a scene with him first."

"what about me?"

"You can just wait until he is lost and then comfort him."

After saying that, Yin Yucheng waved his hand and asked someone to go and bring Gu Jingnian over, while the father and daughter pretended nothing had happened.

"Brother, you are in such a hurry, what happened?"

"Please believe in the king's help."

As Gu Jingnian spoke, he handed over the letter.

Yin Yucheng took it and read it, and was very surprised. He murmured, "Is this true?"

"No matter what, I want to talk to Pei Nian face to face." Gu Jingnian said: "Please help me find her, Prince Xin."

"Don't worry, let me think about it."

Yin Yucheng paced a few steps, but suddenly put the letter in his hand on the candle flame and burned it.

"Prince Xin, what are you doing?"

"This is for your own good."

Yin Yucheng turned aside to prevent Gu Jingnian from grabbing the letter. He sighed earnestly, "Calm down first and think about your father and the Gu family. If others see it, they will definitely use the organization to frame the Gu family, regardless of whether Pei Nian is a spy or not. Also, do you think you should report this letter or not?"

As he spoke, the letter in his hand had burned to ashes.

Gu Jingnian's eyes dimmed.

Yin Yucheng patted his shoulder and advised: "Let her go, it will be good for both of you."

Yin Shu saw this and felt very distressed. She stepped forward and said softly, "Don't be sad..."

"No, I have to find her!"

Gu Jingnian actually took the candle and went to light the curtains in the hall, saying, "Borrow a light from Prince Xin."

Yin's father and daughter were shocked, but the flames had already spread rapidly, so they had to quickly leave the hall and call on the servants to put out the fire.

The fire burned half of the hall. With a loud bang, Gu Jingnian soared into the air and spread his flaming wings.

"I'll apologize to Prince Xin when I get back!"

After saying this, he flew to the east.

By evening, smoke had been emitted from many homes in Yongjing City, and the pair of flaming wings fluttering in the air were quite conspicuous.

Yin Yucheng looked around and became more and more eager when he thought that his daughter's lineage would inherit such special powers in the future.

But if Gu Jingnian was allowed to fly away like this, it would cause unnecessary troubles, and even if he returned to Ruiguo, the Eastern Palace would definitely put the blame on him.

Thinking of this, Yin Yucheng quickly rushed to the backyard of Prince Xin's Mansion.

"Dad, where are you going?" Yin Shu followed quickly.

"Just wait at home, Dad will bring back your ideal husband."

Yin Yucheng stopped Yin Shu and rushed to the backyard alone. In front of him, there were flying carriages and fine horses, and there was also a huge manta ray tied in the yard.

He climbed onto the manta ray's back and patted its head. The manta ray quickly flapped its wings and flew after Gu Jingnian.

The sun has not yet set, and the sky is half blue and half red.

Yin Shu looked up and saw the two figures flying farther and farther away, feeling a little worried and a little longing.

She did not chase after him, but listened to Yin Yucheng's words and waited patiently in Prince Xin's mansion.

She waited until midnight, almost three o'clock in the morning. Yin Shu was already very sleepy. She was sitting there with her head propped up when she suddenly heard the door open. She opened it and saw Yin Yucheng standing outside.

"father?"

Yin Shu was a little surprised and asked, "How did you come back? I didn't hear any sound from the manta ray."

Yin Yucheng walked into the hall with a blank expression, stood with his hands behind his back, and said, "Gu Jingnian knows everything."

"what?"

Yin Shu was stunned for a moment.

Yin Yucheng said: "Gu Jingnian knows everything about Pei Nian."

"How did he know?" Yin Shu asked anxiously, "Did you tell me, Dad?"

"No, but he just knew it." Yin Yucheng sighed slightly.

He stood with his hands behind his back the whole time, showing an unusual depth.

Although Yin Shu noticed that her father was acting strangely, she couldn't care less for the time being.

"How could that be? If he knew that we killed Pei Nian, wouldn't he no longer be friends with me?"

Hearing this, Yin Yucheng suddenly turned around and looked at Yin Shu.

In the dim light, Yin Shu clearly felt the fierce murderous intent in his eyes and felt inexplicably frightened.

"father?"

After a while, Yin Yucheng cursed, "You are such a loser."

"I don't care, I just like him!" Yin Shu was also angry, "Where is he? I'll go find him!"

Yin Yucheng stroked his forehead and sighed, "I didn't catch up with him. I only heard him say that he knew everything and that we would no longer be friends. I'm afraid someone else was interfering in this matter."

"It must be the Eastern Palace. That mediocre Yin Wanqing wants to compete with me."

"Take a rest first, Gu Jingnian will be back..."

"How can I rest? I want to go find him!"

"Snapped!"

Suddenly, Yin Yucheng slapped Yin Shu hard on the face.

Yin Shu was stunned by the beating. She looked up in surprise, anger in her eyes.

"Isn't that messy enough? Listen to me, and I'll make you get what you want."

After saying that, Yin Yucheng walked out, leaving Yin Shu standing there in a daze with her face covered.

After leaving Yin Shu's room, Yin Yucheng lowered his head, looking a little distraught.

He walked back to the main room, waved away all the servants, pushed the door open, and lit a candle. There was a clock on the table.

When the clock struck zero, the candlelight flickered slightly, and someone appeared in the room.

It's a tall long pole.

Gao Changgan was breathing slightly because he was dragging a person in his hands.

To be precise, it was a corpse.

The candlelight illuminated the pale face of the corpse, and it was Yin Yucheng again.

At this time, there were two Yin Yuchengs in the room, one was still alive, standing there looking at Gao Changgan; the other was already dead, wearing only a single piece of clothing.

This scene was a bit weird. Gao Changgan shrank his shoulders but said nothing. He squatted aside obediently, took out a piece of cake from his arms and ate it silently.

The living Yin Yucheng took off his coat and carefully put it on the dead Yin Yucheng.

There was a hole on the back of the coat, with blood oozing out from the side, but Yin Yucheng had been standing with his hands behind his back, covering it up.

The dead Yin Yucheng was turned over, with a dagger stuck in his back and his white clothes stained with blood.

The coat was put on, and the hilt of the dagger just showed through the hole.
The living Yin Yucheng pulled out the dagger and stabbed the corpse again.

Blood was flowing on the ground. He picked up the corpse's finger, dipped it in some blood, and wrote a crooked word on the ground.

"too……"

After doing all this, the living Yin Yucheng did not rush to leave, but rummaged through the boxes and cabinets, checked the documents and letters in the house, and did not clean up the mess.

Most of the works here are paintings and poems, and few are related to state affairs.

Until he turned over an envelope, he was stunned.

Because the envelope clearly said "Respectfully presented by Chu Danqing", but when it was opened, it was empty and the letter was gone.

After looking at it for a while, the living Yin Yucheng put the envelope in his arms and patted Gao Changgan on the shoulder.

Gao Changgan understood, stood up, and put his hand on him. After a moment, the two men disappeared, leaving only a corpse in the room.

In the darkness, various sounds were whizzing by.

When Gao Changgan opened his eyes again, he saw a wilderness in front of him. Not far away, there was a blazing bonfire.

He let go of his hand tiredly and sat down, taking out another piece of dry food to eat, while Yin Yucheng, who he brought with him, took out a porcelain bottle from his arms and began to remove the disguise on his face.

Finally, Yin Yucheng's face flowed down, revealing Gu Jingnian's handsome face with a hint of sadness on his face.

Gu Jingnian has killed Yin Yucheng.

The process was very simple. He flew here and was finally caught up by Yin Yucheng. There was no one around, so the two stopped to talk. Yin Yucheng urged him to go back.

"There are many women in the world. If Pei Nian leaves, there will be better ones sooner or later..."

As he spoke, Gu Jingnian suddenly looked behind Yin Yucheng and asked in surprise, "Pei Nian?"

Yin Yucheng turned his head to look.

The next moment, with a "puff" sound, Gu Jingnian stabbed the dagger directly into his back.

A man so powerful, almost unmatched in his ability to control the wind and kill people, could be killed with just one stab.

Gu Jingnian still had many questions. He wanted to ask where Pei Nian was and why Kaipingsi was determined to kill Yin Yucheng, but he didn't ask anything and took decisive action.

As for the brotherhood between us, that’s where it ends.

As for Gao Changgan, Zhang Xiaofang asked him to come here to find Gu Jingnian after she returned home.

When he arrived, Yin Yucheng had already died. He was so busy that he only had time to ask a question.

"You killed him for Feng Niang, right?"

Gu Jingnian did not answer, but just said: "You go back."

"Oh." Gao Changgan didn't leave immediately. He munched on his dry food and muttered, "You're out of your mind."

Gu Jingnian did not answer, but sat by the fire in a daze.

After a while, Gao Changgan stood up and said, "So I'm really leaving?"

Even he could see that Gu Jingnian was not very happy at the moment, and thought about staying to accompany him, but Gu Jingnian just nodded and said, "Go."

The tall and long pole then disappeared.

Gu Jingnian sat alone by the fire, finally sighed and shook his head.

"I told you that you are weak and shouldn't get involved."

He picked up a few stones and started piling them up. He didn't quite believe that Pei Nian was dead, but he had expected this day to come.

After a while, the sound of birds singing was heard in the sky.

Gu Jingnian pushed away the pile of stones he had built, walked into the campfire, spread his flaming wings again and flew into the sky.

He saw a speeding car coming from the west, so he composed himself and went to meet it calmly.

In the flying car, Yin Wanqing stood facing the wind and said, "I found Pei Nian's whereabouts."

"Where is she?"

Gu Jingnian landed on the flying car.

The flying car shook slightly, and Yin Wanqing was a little unsteady. She looked at him with dissatisfaction, and then saw him put away his fire wings, and was surprised at his trust in her.

"She was seriously injured, but her life was saved. She was saved by Bai Ji."

"Bai Ji is it?"

"Haven't you heard of them? There are four famous young masters in Yongjing, known as 'Que Ma Yu Long'. Bai Ji is one of the fish. He is the best swimmer and has no rivals in the water..."

When Gu Jingnian heard that Pei Nian was not dead, he felt as if he was in a dream.

Below, a river was shimmering, and the flying car slowly landed in front of a small courtyard by the river.

A lot of people had gathered outside the courtyard. They were all sent by the Eastern Palace to look for Pei Nian. When they saw the flying car coming down, someone immediately stepped forward and reported to Yin Wanqing, "Princess, Bai has confirmed that it was Prince Xin who injured the person."

"In that case, please ask Prince Xin to come and find out the truth." Yin Wanqing said.

Behind her, Gu Jingnian's expression remained unchanged, still with a hint of concern.

He was thinking in his heart that Prince Xin might not be able to come because he was already dead...
