Chapter 35 The Lan Family in Youzhou ([-]rd watch)
"This Fire Phoenix Totem, isn't it—"

Standing in front of the mottled mural, Yue Wujiu gasped, his temples throbbing.

He has seen this fire and phoenix pattern, he must have seen it, but where, where is it?
As he racked his brains and tried his best to recall, the young man suddenly had a flash of inspiration. He remembered that he had indeed seen this "fire phoenix".

The man was taking a bath in the bathtub, but the naughty child got out from under the bed, just saw the man's chest, and outlined such a lifelike fire phoenix!

That man is none other than Yue Wujiu's brother-in-law, the fourth son of the Lan family in Youzhou, Lan Yubai!
Yue Wujiu has a sister who is 12 years older than him, and she married to Youzhou early.

It was a righteous daughter adopted by his father, Lord Yue, and she was the orphan left by a capable general under the command of Yuehou.

Back then, Marquis Yue fought in the battlefield and fought an extremely tragic battle. Thanks to a lieutenant under his command who sacrificed his life to save him, he survived.

It's just that the deputy general died tragically, and left behind a helpless mother and daughter. The Marquis Yue wanted to settle them down, but the wife resolutely died in love and followed her husband, leaving only a helpless A helpless daughter.

Master Yue couldn't bear it, and with all kinds of debts and guilt, he adopted the child, and since then he took him by his side and taught him carefully.

The child's name was Ning Jiuniang, and Lord Yue didn't change her name. Instead, he wanted her to remember her own father, the steadfast Ning Jiaerlang.
Ning Jiuniang lived in the Yue family since she was a child. She is well-educated and sensible.

Although Yue Wujiu and his elder sister have only been together for a few years, and her elder sister married to Youzhou far away, they have a close relationship with each other, and Ning Jiuniang even brought her young brother to Youzhou to live for a while.

It was at that time that Yue Wujiu met his brother-in-law, Lan Yubai.

The Lan family is a well-known family in Youzhou. Lan Yubai, the fourth son of the Lan family, is a dragon and phoenix among the people. He is not only a good-looking talent, but also has an outstanding literary talent. A stunning figure, but without a trace of arrogance, on the contrary, he treats everyone with gentleness and courtesy, and holds his wife, Ning Jiuniang, in the palm of his hand, with endless consideration.

Yue Wujiu once heard from her elder sister that her acquaintance with Mr. Lan was all due to an accident.

At that time, Youzhou was hit by a drought that had never happened in a century, Lord Yue went to relieve the disaster on behalf of the court, and Ning Jiuniang also went with her adoptive father to help the refugees with porridge.

Unexpectedly, there was a sudden riot in the city, and the refugees rushed up to grab food. In the chaos, all the sheds were overturned, and Ning Jiuniang was also involved in the crowd, and was almost trampled to death by the refugees.

At this critical juncture, Lan Yubai appeared, as if a god had descended. He not only saved Ning Jiuniang, but also represented the Lan family. With the prestige of the Lan family in Youzhou for many years, he suppressed the commotion with all his strength. of refugees.

Since then, when Ning Jiuniang gave porridge to the refugees every day, Lan Yubai was by her side.

When several months passed, the disaster finally eased, Youzhou passed the crisis smoothly, and when the rainbow disappeared and the rain disappeared, Ning Jiuniang and Lan Yubai also came together logically.

Everything is so beautiful and perfect. Although Lord Yue is unwilling to marry his adopted daughter away, it can be seen that Ning Jiuniang has a heart for the young master of the Lan family. The two men are talented and beautiful, and they match each other so well. Lord Yue is naturally willing to let go and make things happen, so that a pair of lovers will end up together. Get married.

Yue Wujiu's mother, Princess Zhaoyin, prepared the richest dowry for Ning Jiuniang with a loving mother's heart, and the Yue family married her daughter to Youzhou in a glorious manner.

After marriage, Lan Yubai was also gentle and considerate to Ning Jiuniang as always. The husband and wife sang in harmony, envious of others.

Because the two families got married, Marquis Yue naturally traveled frequently between the imperial city and Youzhou. He admired Lan Yubai very much, and every time he went back to Youzhou, he would chat with him over wine and discuss all the major issues in the world. Happy and leisurely.

Yue Wujiu was still young at that time, and couldn't understand what his father and brother-in-law were talking about, so he went to play with his sister.

Once he didn't find his sister in the house, but heard footsteps behind him. He thought it was his sister coming and wanted to play tricks on her, so he quickly hid under the bed, but it was his brother-in-law Lan Yubai who came in.

He began to take off his clothes, and Yue Wugui noticed that there was still a bucket of hot water behind the screen, it turned out that his brother-in-law was about to change clothes and take a shower.

The little child's eyeballs rolled, and he became playful. The elder sister is not there, so it is the same to play tricks on the brother-in-law.

After all, brother-in-law has a good temper and a gentle temperament like jade. He never blames him for being naughty. He always likes to play with brother-in-law.

So, when my brother-in-law got into the tub and started to take a bath in the misty mist, the naughty Yue Wugui crawled out from under the bed, made a face at the shirtless man in the tub, and was terrified. The face that had always been gentle and polite suddenly changed color, and he shouted angrily——

"Get out, get out of here!"

This was the first time that Lan Yubai got so angry at Yue Wugui, the little child was dumbfounded, thinking that he had played too much, and ran out of the room in a hurry.

Later, my brother-in-law found him, took him to play in the street, bought him candied haws, stroked his head, looked pleasant, and returned to the gentle and elegant appearance of the past. The little doll has no heart at all. This matter was gradually forgotten.

Now many years have passed in a blink of an eye, if he hadn't seen this special fire and phoenix pattern on the murals of this underground secret palace again, Yue Wugui would never have recalled this little episode of his childhood.

But he remembered it, and he just remembered it, because the fire-phoenix pattern was very unique, and he had never seen it anywhere else!

Maybe even God couldn't see it, and wanted to give him some advice. He stared at the phoenix dancing in the fire on the mural, gritted his teeth, and couldn't help trembling——

It can't be wrong, it can't be wrong, Lan Yubai's chest also showed such a fire phoenix, and after going around, it turns out that the mystery is far away in the sky, and it is close in front of us!
He has made countless calculations, and he has thought about countless possibilities, but he has never doubted Lan Yubai!

Now that I think about it, there were indeed many abnormalities in the Lan family back then. Although they were in Youzhou and were not involved in government affairs on the surface, they had a private firearms shop and had delivered weapons and equipment for his father. Many members of the Lan family were placed there, and Lan Yubai often advised his father, like an inscrutable "Military Advisor", and won the trust and love of Lord Yue.

But this is not in line with Lan Jiaming's image of being calm and independent. The Lan family has lived in Youzhou for a long time, and they claim to be ignorant of temples. The Lan family wants to build a firearms shop in private, recruit soldiers, buy horses, forge weapons, and get involved in power disputes with all their heart?
A lot of doubts flooded into Yue Wujiu's mind instantly. He was still young at that time, and he believed deeply in his brother-in-law's family, so he never thought about these abnormalities.

Thinking back carefully now, this brother-in-law who suddenly "falls from the sky" is really a coincidence, and he just met Ning Jiuniang, and he seems to know her preferences like the back of his hand, and he is considerate and considerate of her in every way. His father also praised that the young master of the Lan family really put his heart into it, but now it seems that he was prepared and had ulterior motives?

If you think about it in this direction, I am afraid that everything that happened back then was a terrifying conspiracy, the turmoil among the refugees in Youzhou, and the acquaintance between Lan Yubai and Ning Jiuniang was not an accident of a hero saving the beauty, but an accident at all. Everything is Lan Yubai's deliberate plan!
He wants to get close to Ning Jiuniang, to get involved with the Yue family, and it will take a long time to set up a situation, a situation that is enough to completely destroy the Yue family!

Holding a lamp, the young man stood in front of the mottled mural, gasped for air, and felt chills all over his body from head to toe. The most terrifying thing in this world is actually the human heart!
The four young men on the murals have been dead for hundreds of years. They impressively represent the four major families, the Kuang family, the Yue family, the Zhongli family, and the most mysterious Feng family, the only Feng Qiyun who revealed his full name. .

Obviously Lan Yubai will not belong to the first three families, he cannot be a descendant of the royal family, and he is deliberately planning to subvert the Yue family, and it is absolutely impossible to be the son of the Yue family. It doesn't match up with the Lan family in Youzhou.

Then there is only one possibility, he is related to Feng Qiyun, the most mysterious Feng family, perhaps hundreds of years ago, the Feng family broke up with the other three families for some reason, so they changed their names and surnames, and settled in You Zhou, changed his pseudonym to the surname Lan!
Therefore, in the entire Dongmu, among all the aristocratic families, they have never heard of a Feng family, because they have kept their names incognito since the beginning!
Yue Wugui stared at the mural on the wall, breathed rapidly, and his chest heaved, the more he thought about it, the more he felt that his guess was right, and all his inferences seemed to vaguely point to an answer——

Lan Yubai is from the Feng family, and the fire and phoenix imprint on his body is the unique totem symbol of the Feng family!

The young man raised his head, as if feeling something, raised the lamp in his hand a little higher, and carefully illuminated the figure playing the flute under the moon, not missing any details.

Suddenly, his eyes moved, and his breathing became short of breath, because he found a word the size of an ant on the flute——

Bong.

At this moment, there seemed to be a rush of blood in his heart, and the young man was so excited that the flute player under the moon was indeed Feng Qiyun, and his conjecture was really confirmed. Lan Yubai really had something to do with the Feng family. No accident, he must be a descendant of the Feng family hiding in Youzhou!
And the name on the flute, the word "Feng", even such a subtle place appears in the mural, how could the person who wrote the pen be an ordinary painter?
After all, who would notice such details for no reason, unless it is the owner of this flute, Feng Qiyun.

I am afraid that this meticulous mural was created by him!

There seemed to be a thread connecting everything in his mind. The boy stood in front of the mural, his hand holding the lantern trembling slightly.

He looked at the young man wearing a phoenix mask on the mural and playing the flute under the moon. As his chest rose and fell, he couldn't help gritting his teeth and said word by word: "Feng Qiyun, is Lan Yubai really your descendant? The Clan, did you really go to Youzhou incognito? Did you, the Feng Clan, cause my Yue Clan to be wiped out?"

Countless questions were circling in his mind, but in the huge empty palace, naturally no one would answer the grief-stricken young man, only the mural on the wall watched him quietly, revealing the silent desolation in the mottled years.

What is true and what is false, at this moment, how can Yue Wugui know that all the truth he thought he touched is just the tip of the iceberg, hundreds of years have passed by, and that turbulent drama is worthy of Kan lifted it under his nose.

But he only had one thought at the moment, to find out all the answers, uncover all the truth, and reverse the case for the Yue family. That beam of fire was burning in his heart.

"Lan Yubai, what exactly did you do in the Yue family's treason case? Did you really harm the whole family of the Yue family? Elder sister...does she know about it?"
