Xiang Yixuan's mansion is located in the northwest corner of Yingtian City. It is a wealthy mansion that occupies a huge area.

The two opposite main doors are more than three feet wide, and are flanked by eight towering ancient trees that are over 50 years old. They appear both luxurious and luxurious, yet also have a trace of ancient charm.

The courtyard is divided into five small courtyards according to east, west, north, south and middle, namely the four gardens of plum, orchid, bamboo and chrysanthemum, and the Unxian Pavilion in the middle. Each garden is connected by paths and low walls, and is dotted with rockeries and strange rocks.

There are flowers and grasses, clear streams and springs, small bridges and corridors, and the layout is exquisite. Each step has its own scenery. It can be said that each has its own elegance and mystery.

If you enter through the gate, you will first see the Zhuyuan where the servants and servants live. Except for the four men, four women and eight maids who serve Xiang Yixuan himself, the rest of the people in the house live in the Zhuyuan.

The Bamboo Garden is in the south, the Plum Garden is in the north, and the Orchid Garden and Chrysanthemum Garden are in the east and west respectively. Xiang Yixuan himself lives mainly in Yunxian Pavilion in the middle. Every morning and evening, an artificial water channel surrounding Yunxian Pavilion will open.

When the mist rises and the rays of the morning or sunset shine down, Unxian Pavilion looks like a jade tower built on the sea of ​​clouds, like a fairyland.

Lan Feng and Ben Yali hid under a flatbed truck transporting melons and fruits, and sneaked into the bamboo garden without anyone noticing. Because the people in the bamboo garden were so discerning, they did not dare to stay for a long time, so they took advantage of the cover of the rockery rocks and the bamboo forest corridor.

Quickly slip out of the bamboo garden and enter the chrysanthemum garden on the west side.

Seeing that there was no one in the chrysanthemum garden, Lan Feng breathed a long sigh of relief, emerged from the bushes and said: "He lives alone in such a big house, and he is not afraid of being haunted at night. Hey, I'm afraid he will soon catch up with the palace.

Bar."

Ben Yali looked around with an envious look: "There are many rumors about this Mr. Xiang in the capital, saying that he is already in his thirties but has not yet gotten married. I don't know how many girls are unwilling to give up and are looking forward to getting married."

Where is he?"

"I haven't found a mistress for this house for so many years. This house has been wasted." Lan Feng chuckled and said, "Maybe Mr. Xiang doesn't like women and has other hobbies."

Seeing that his mouth was unable to spit out ivory, Ben Yali rolled her eyes at him and said, "You are wrong. It is said that Mr. Xiang expressed his love to Miss Li three times, and the third time he even asked a matchmaker to bring him a heavy gift.

I came to propose marriage, but all ended in failure."

Lan Feng clicked his tongue and asked in wonder: "When did this happen?"

"The last marriage proposal was when Miss Li was sixteen years old." Ben Yali shrugged, "The two previous expressions of love were naturally earlier."

Lan Feng sighed and said: "Miss Li is not only an important minister, but also has royal blood. It is true that she cannot be impressed by wealth alone. Hey, if you think about it this way, this Miss Li is probably the second most difficult person to marry in the world."

Ben Yali asked curiously: "Then who is the most difficult to marry?"

"There is another girl who has been living in a foreign land. Her life has been dominated by hatred since she was a child. She has never experienced love in the world. She has a noble status, but her destiny is determined by others. She does not understand gentleness, let alone love. Such a girl

Girl, do you think it is difficult to marry?" Lan Feng looked at Ben Yali with a smile as he said this, "The most difficult person to marry in the world is far away in the horizon, but right in front of you."

"Pah!" Ben Yali was ashamed and angry. She slapped Lan Feng on the face and said angrily: "Nonsense!"

Lan Feng was stunned by her beating, howling and screaming, but still did not forget to talk back: "If anyone wants to marry you, it is already very difficult to be attracted by you, and it has to go through your brother who wants revenge and who doesn't know what will happen in the future.

Which emperor and Mongolian Khan gave permission? These three hurdles are like three mountains, any one of which can block the person who marries you."

After hearing what he said, Ben Yali felt that it was somewhat reasonable. She pursed her lips and said: "I don't want others to dictate my destiny. If I like someone, even if others don't agree and we can't get married, I will still be happy to marry him."

He is good."

"Well said!" Suddenly, a woman's voice came from behind. When Lan Feng turned around, he saw the window of an elegant room opened from the inside, revealing the beautiful face of a girl.

But seeing that this girl is extremely beautiful, gentle and charming, her facial features are exquisite, her figure is graceful, her hair is soft and shiny, and her skin is delicate, she is really not inferior to top beauties like Feng Yeling and Li Jingshu.

Lan Feng was shocked when he saw it, and almost blurted out: "You are... you are Xu..."

"Miss Xu San!" Ben Yali was extremely excited and rushed to say: "It is rumored that Miss Xu San from the Wei Guogong Mansion is interested in Mr. Xiang, and she has been holding on for many years to no avail. It turns out that you live here, so the rumors are all false.

Already?"

Lan Feng was lucky enough to see Xu Miaojin, who was ranked second on the Alluring List. She was so dizzy at the sight that she couldn't help but say, "I take back what I just said. This Miss Xu San should be the most difficult person to marry in the world."

Ben Yali was so angry that she stepped on him, grabbed one of his ears and said, "I'll forget about you being frivolous. Can you afford to offend Miss Xu San?"

Xu Miaojin smiled quietly, and then said sadly: "This young master is right. For most people, I am indeed 'difficult to marry', but for some people, it only takes one word."

Just when Ben Yali was about to ask if she was referring to Xiang Yixuan, she suddenly heard a sound of breaking wind behind her, and hurriedly staggered her hands, and cut the attacker's left and right ribs with her left and right palms respectively.

She felt a dark shadow flash before her eyes, and before she could even see the other person's face clearly, she was hit on an acupuncture point and fell to the ground.

Lan Feng had fought against Ben Yali many times in Yueyang and knew how powerful she was. When he saw her, she was knocked down as soon as he met her. Just when he was about to touch the flying knife, Xu Miaojin hurriedly shouted: "Don't fight, it's all a misunderstanding."

The man's figure froze, and Lan Feng could see clearly that it was Xiang Yixuan, whom he had met once in Yueyang.

Xiang Yixuan was also startled when he saw Lan Feng, and said in disbelief: "Second Young Master Lan, why are you here?"

It was only then that he saw Ben Yali clearly, and he felt even more strange: "Are you... are you that Mongolian girl? How did you..." He was speechless for a moment, not knowing whether to ask "How did you get together" or "How did you get together?"

"Why are you here?"

"This..." Lan Feng grabbed his hair and laughed dryly, "This is a long story."

Xiang Yixuan untied Ben Yali's acupuncture points, helped her up with his own hands and said, "I thought it was a thief who came to harass A Jin, but I didn't see who it was before I moved my hands. I'm really sorry, and I hope the girl will be honest."

Lan Feng secretly thought that what he said was not bad. He came here to find out clues about the Erqihui, but he really had no good intentions.

Of course I didn't dare to admit it, so I laughed and said, "Brother Xiang is living a very comfortable life. I am really envious of the beauty hidden in this golden house."

Xu Miaojin's face turned red, but Xiang Yixuan said seriously: "I studied under the old Wei Guogong and have a very close relationship with the Xu family. Ajin is my junior sister. She often comes to see me at home. Sometimes she comes late. I

So I let her rest in the chrysanthemum garden. I have always treated her with courtesy and never exceeded the rules. If I hide my beauty in the golden house, I hope Second Young Master Lan will take it back."

Lan Feng felt flattered and smacked his horse in the foot. He bowed to the ground and sincerely apologized: "I made a mistake."

"It's okay." Xiang Yixuan waved his hand and said, "Ah Jin and I are innocent. Don't believe those dirty rumors on the street."

Lan Feng was laughing and joking on the surface, but his brain was running fast. If Xiang Yixuan was really a core member of the Erqihui, seeing himself and Ben Yali come to the door so stupidly, he should just accept the gift and take them as hostages.

Claim benefits from Blue Bridge.

But looking at Xiang Yixuan's expression as usual, he didn't seem to have any intention of making trouble. Lan Feng couldn't help but think of what Ben Yali said. Could it be that Liu Jing chose the Changsheng Teahouse under Xiang Yixuan's name for the event, was it really just a coincidence?

Seeing that Xiang Yixuan was cold, he couldn't help but ask: "May I ask, Mr. Lan, what big things are there to do when he comes to the capital this time?"

Lan Feng had been prepared for this question and said without hesitation: "There are rumors in the world that my brother's father-killing enemy is recuperating in the capital. If I want to avenge myself, I cannot miss this opportunity."

"You mean An Xiaohan?" Xiang Yixuan nodded and said, "When you say that, I seem to have heard some rumors that An Xiaohan was defeated by Feng Zhenyue outside Dongchang City and is currently hiding in the capital to recuperate.

"

He paused, then shook his head and said: "I heard that An Xiaohan first killed Zhang Yu in the midst of thousands of troops, and then was defeated by Feng Zhenyue when his power was not restored. Feng Zhenyue took advantage of the danger, and this move has some consequences.

I owe you the demeanor of a warrior."

Lan Feng had long regarded Feng Zhenyue as one of his own, and could not help but defend him at this time: "When An Xiaohan led his disciples to hunt down several of our juniors outside Luzhou City, did he have the demeanor of a martial artist?"

"I'm just talking about the matter." Xiang Yixuan said with a dumb smile, "Please forgive me for any offense, Mr. Lan."

Lan Feng knew that he would definitely ask why he showed up at his house later. He was moved in his heart, and half-tested and half-promptly "explained": "I came to the capital for five days to investigate, and finally found out from a passerby that An

Xiao Han once showed up at my brother’s Changsheng Teahouse.”

"Oh?" Xiang Yixuan's expression changed slightly, and a trace of unnoticeable doubt flashed in his eyes, "So you just followed the clues and found my home?"

Lan Feng vaguely felt that Xiang Yixuan knew something else, but it was inconvenient to ask at this time, so he just nodded.

Xiang Yixuan said calmly: "Did you find anything?"

"No." Lan Feng touched the newly grown stubble under his chin and said with a wry smile, "Maybe it's just a coincidence."

"After all, Second Young Master Lan's identity is inconvenient. Once his identity is discovered after being in the capital for a long time, he will not be able to escape the pursuit of the whole city." Xiang Yixuan thought for a while and said, "Well, if Second Young Master Lan still trusts me, he might as well stay in my house.

Stay here for a few days and I will figure out a solution for An Xiaohan."

Lan Feng looked closely at his face and couldn't tell whether he was sincere or fake, thinking in his mind. At the moment, he couldn't tell whether Xiang Yixuan was really a hidden member of the Erqi Society. If not, he wouldn't have to worry about exposing his identity when he lived in the Xiang Mansion.

There is no need to worry about daily necessities. It is a hundred times better than old man Shang's simple building. If you can live in his house, you will definitely be able to find out more clues.

Thinking about it from another angle, if Xiang Yixuan is indeed the backbone of the Erqihui, and if he is put under house arrest in disguise, even if he insists on leaving, he will not be able to escape the control of the fourth master in the capital.

"In that case, it is better for me to be respectful than to obey." He thought about it and finally decided to accept Xiang Yixuan's hospitality. After thinking about it secretly, he turned to Ben Yali and said, "I wonder if this girl would like to continue to be my neighbor?"

Ben Yali said angrily: "Bah, do you smell good? Who wants to continue to be neighbors with you?"

Lan Feng pretended to be helpless and spread his hands, saying regretfully: "In that case, please ask Brother Xiang to send someone to send her out of the house."

"It's natural, Second Young Master Lan, please rest assured." Xiang Yixuan greeted, and two maids came immediately to take Ben Yali away, "I left this chrysanthemum garden for Ah Jin to rest, Second Young Master can stay there.

In the Orchid Garden on the east side, there are servants there to take care of the young master."
