Shaojun riding the sea

Chapter 49
"Who, who lived in Lanxin Courtyard?" Shi Xuanling raised her heart to her throat, she had never been so eager to know an answer.

"Master Fenglou."

"Master Fenglou? Who is the master of Fenglou?"

Wen Yanru shook his head, and said flatly: "There are only these four words in the records."

It was hard to get an answer, but it didn't work. Shi Xuanling seemed to be poured cold water on the spot. When she was at a loss, Ji Zhiyue next to her stepped forward and said:

"I know, I've heard of Fenglou!"

Fenglou is far away in the sky and close in front of your eyes, but it is actually located in Yuncheng.

The reason why Wen Yanru didn't know Fenglou was because he was not a native of the island, and Yuncheng was not under his jurisdiction. He usually led troops to guard the mining area. In addition, there was another more important reason. That is what is sold in Fenglou, he doesn't need it at all——

Yes, Fenglou is a time-honored shop that "sells things", and what it sells are not ordinary items, but wedding dresses.

The wedding dresses in Fenglou are notoriously beautiful, but also notoriously expensive. Every wedding dress in the building is unique and never repeated.

It is said that there are nine floors in Fenglou, and every time you go up one floor, the wedding dresses that guests see will be more exquisite and gorgeous, and the price will be correspondingly higher.

The wedding dress on the ninth floor of Fenglou is said to be made by the masters of each generation of Fenglou. Also unusual.

But even so, there are still many people who want to get a wedding dress from Fenglou, even if they spend all their life savings, and this exquisite craftsmanship has been passed down from generation to generation, and it is said that it has been passed down for hundreds of years .

The rules of Fenglou are strict, and every owner of Fenglou is a member of the Feng family, who carries a phoenix card in charge of Fenglou, and this phoenix card will never be passed on to people with other surnames.

Listening to Ji Zhiyue's introduction to Fenglou, Yue Wujiu's face remained calm, but his heart was filled with surprise and joy, and there were many speculations at once——

He didn't find any news about the "Feng" family, but found another "Feng" family by accident, and the inside of Feng Qiyun's wrist was also depicted with a lifelike fire phoenix. It was too much of a coincidence. Could this Feng family have something to do with the Feng family?Or is it that there are people from the Feng family hiding in Fenglou?

The most strange thing is that the owner of Fenglou actually lived in Lanxin's small courtyard 17 years ago. Could it be that he planted those knot-face flowers?

Faintly, how could this Fenglou have something to do with Shi Xuanling's hometown?
All of a sudden, there were too many questions in Yue Wujiu's head, and the answers to all the puzzles obviously had to be found by the owner of Fenglou before they could be revealed.

He couldn't help looking at Shi Xuanling beside him, the two looked at each other, and they said in unison, as if they had a tacit understanding:

"Let's go to Yuncheng and find Master Fenglou!"

-

The sky was bright, the sea breeze swept across the sky, and amidst the lingering mist, a wolf in a luxurious official robe hurried over, looking at the empty Lanxin courtyard, he clenched his fists suddenly in anger.

"What about people? I asked you to stay here. Did you go to sleep? Why did the people in this courtyard disappear out of thin air?"

It was Pei Shixi who came. He suffered from diarrhea because of being drugged by Shi Xuanling. At this moment, his face was still as pale as snow, but the majesty and sternness on his body remained undiminished. He turned around and raised his foot, kicking heavily on the ground They landed on the two Ujin guards in front of the door.

"My lord, my lord, spare my life!"

These two people just obeyed Pei Shixi's order, and squatted quietly outside the small courtyard of Lanxin, secretly staring at Yue Wujiu's movements, and they didn't dare to hide it right now, and reported everything to Pei Shixi.

"First Master Mingjian, we brothers never dare to take it lightly, we are always watching, and we have never slack off!"

"Yesterday, the son of Yue and his wife went to the Chongming Pagoda, and they were led by General Wen. They stayed on the pagoda for a whole day, and in the evening they returned to this small courtyard. After coming out, the gate of this courtyard has been closed all the time. We also checked the backyard just now. There is no back door here, and we don’t know how they left this courtyard. Can you change a living person?"

The two Wujin guards secretly exchanged glances. After going to the island, their first lord fell "sick" strangely. The big living person disappeared out of thin air, so they couldn't help but think about it.

"Idiot, don't talk nonsense here, it's not that they know magic, it's that you are so useless!"

Pei Shixi's handsome face was so cold that water dripped down, "Since Yue Wugui left the yard yesterday and went to the Chongming Pagoda, why didn't he report such an important matter to the deity as soon as possible?"

"Because, because at that time the first monk had only rested for a while, we two brothers... didn't dare to disturb the first one."

After all, Pei Shixi's stomach has been stretched all night, and he is exhausted. He finally squinted his eyes for a while in the morning. How dare they wake him up?

"So that's the case. Doesn't this deity want to thank you for being so 'considerate' of this deity, so that this deity rarely gets a good night's sleep?"

"The first lord is admirable. The most important thing is that you can rest well. Our two brothers are dedicated to..."

"Nonsense!" Pei Shixi couldn't bear it anymore, and kicked hard again, "You two idiots who don't understand human language, next time, I'll take your skin off!"

As soon as he flicked his sleeves, he walked around the courtyard again. Indeed, there were no other doors leading to the outside, but there was a wall, and another courtyard was next door.

Pei Shixi tiptoed to the top of the wall, squinted his eyes slightly, and scanned the courtyard. The two Wu Jinwei looked up at him from below, and suddenly heard that cold voice from the wall——

"They don't have sorcery, they just know how to climb over walls. There is no back door in Lanxin Courtyard, but the yard next door has one. You can't even stare at someone. Just this elm head who doesn't know how to adapt, don't be in Zhenfu as soon as possible." It's done!"

The two Wu Jinweis were shivered by the cold voice, Qiqi knelt down again, but there was another stern shout from above their heads: "What are you doing in a daze, go to the house and find two pieces of underwear, let Xue The wolf took a sniff, followed the breath and chased after them, no matter whether they go to heaven or earth, this deity has to find them!"

In the small courtyard of Lanxin, after Pei Shixi hurriedly led a group of people away, the courtyard became quiet again, and the Yuzhu residence next to it was also empty, and there was no sign of Ji Zhiyue.

This time she did not go to Yuncheng with Yue Wujiu and Shi Xuanling, but was called to the armory early in the morning by Wen Yanru.

Yes, there is an armory on the island, which stores all kinds of weapons and military supplies. When Wen Yanru was training soldiers in the morning, he sent someone to get a batch of new bows and crossbows from the armory, but found a bolt from the blue——

Most of the new equipment in the armory was damaged!

The island was already humid, but not long ago it had been raining heavily for several days, and there had been a few big storms. The sea water had unknowingly overflowed into the armory, but the guards had neglected their duties and did not check the situation of the armory at all.

A batch of new equipment stored inside has been corroded to varying degrees due to being soaked in seawater for a long time. What happened, a group of sea centipedes crawled into the damp warehouse without a sound!

The venom secreted by them spread all over the warehouse, corroding that batch of new equipment, making the damage more serious, and it would not be an exaggeration to describe it as worse than worse.

Originally, the arsenal had to be kept dry and tidy, and incense had to be burned from time to time to repel insects, but because of the negligence of the guards, a whole batch of new equipment was destroyed. Huge loss!
Leaving aside other weapons and military supplies, what hurt Wen Yanru the most was the two whirlwind cannons——

This cannon is extremely powerful, expensive, and extremely precious. Wen Yanru also tried his best to get two of them. These are the "treasures of the town" on Yunzhou Island, and they can deal with Chinu who may attack at any time The army, but these two "big guys" must be indispensable!
But now, they were completely damaged, and Wen Yanru was in a state of anxiety. To put it seriously, this was even a matter of "life and death" on Yunzhou Island!

He didn't dare to delay for a moment, and urgently handed over the papers to the imperial court, accepted the punishment himself, and sincerely asked the imperial court to forge a batch of new weapons and transport them to Yunzhou Island as soon as possible.

It's just that the journey is far away. If during this period, the Chinu people attack on a large scale, and the island's military equipment is insufficient, what should we do?

Besides, even if other weapons can be reforged, what about the whirlwind cannon?At the beginning, he used his title of "Silver Snow God of War", and finally let Emperor Yun let go, and brought these two big guys to the island, but now he said it was bad, and he wanted to get two new ones. Artillery, I'm afraid it is more difficult than climbing to the sky, right?

In desperation, Wen Yanru thought of someone, so he had no choice but to knock on the door of Yuzhuju. Even if he owed her more money, there was nothing he could do.

Ji Zhiyue was invited to the arsenal, and walked around the two whirlwind cannons several times, her eyes were shining brightly, she never dreamed in her lifetime that the blueprint models that she had only seen in books before would one day be her own Not only can you see the real thing with your own eyes, but you can even reach out and touch a few, which is simply incredible.

Compared to Ji Zhiyue who was both surprised and happy, Wen Yanru was frowning. He held his breath, and asked cautiously beside him:
"How about it, Miss Ji, can these two whirlwind cannons... be repaired?"

-

Yuncheng, Fenglou.

As Pei Shixi expected, as early as last night, Yue Wujiu and Shi Xuanling hurried to Yuncheng.

Fenglou is a well-known time-honored brand in the city, and it's not hard to find, but it's only in the middle of the night, and people have already closed their doors to rest.

It just so happened that Shi Xuanling also brought some prepared new medicines to be sent to Mrs. Wan. She would send medicines to Mrs. Wan every once in a while to suppress the toxicity of Gu worms in her body.

So the two of them rode their horses and came to Qinglin Garden, where they stayed overnight with Mrs. Wan.

At dawn, Yue Wujiu and Shi Xuanling couldn't wait to set off. The two insisted on guarding the Phoenix Tower and opened the door. As soon as they entered, they saw all kinds of exquisite wedding dresses. Feast your eyes and be amazed.

And this is just the "ordinary goods" displayed on the first floor.

In front of the counter in front of him, an elegantly dressed old man was standing there, sorting out the ledger while arranging the abacus.

Shi Xuanling was very excited, suppressed all kinds of emotions, walked forward slowly, and asked respectfully: "Are you the shopkeeper here? We have something important, and I want to see the owner of Fenglou. I wonder if you can help us through?" Pass it on?"

The owner of Fenglou usually stays on the ninth floor, and only receives distinguished guests, and does not easily meet outsiders.

Shi Xuanling didn't understand the specific rules of Fenglou, but she just spoke tentatively, but she didn't expect that the old man raised his head, squinted his eyes, and after looking at her and Yue Wujiu beside him from head to toe, With a cold snort, he sneered and said:
"Where are the two yellow-haired children coming from? They have such a big tone, and they want to meet our head of the family as soon as they come up? What kind of place is this place? The vegetable market picks leaves, and you can do whatever you want, and let you ask for it?"
