After Zifeng rushed back to the capital, he first sent the Sky Shaking Tiger back to his house, and then rushed to the prince's mansion.

This is his routine after each mission, and he should have gone with the Sky Shaking Tiger, but the Sky Shaking Tiger has been quite complaining about the prince's recent attitude towards him, he only said that since the prince ordered Zifeng to do it, then Zifeng can go and reply. There was a hint of dissatisfaction in his tone.

So, Zifeng went alone, but this was exactly what he wanted.

Sure enough, when the prince only saw Zifeng alone, his eyebrows moved slightly, and he asked, "What about the Sky Shaking Tiger?" There was a hint of displeasure in his voice.

Zifeng replied, "He went back to the house to rest first." ”

The prince's face changed suddenly, and the word "annoyance" seemed to be engraved on his head. In fact, needless to say, Zi Feng already knew that he was in a hurry to call himself back, and there must be something big happening in the capital.

He said: "His Royal Highness the Prince, we didn't see Dongfang Jue and Zang Feiyi all the way, and later I found out that the two of them entered Tanzhou City, so Master and I guarded the gate of Tanzhou, but we never saw the whereabouts of the two of them, Your Highness, did you give up like this?" ”

The prince took a deep breath, and then slowly exhaled it, as if he wanted to spit out all the evil breath that had been stuck in his heart, and laughed bitterly at himself, and said:

"Zifeng, this time we fell for them, the two of them suddenly appeared in the Yiwang Mansion for some reason, and I don't know how they came, you heard that the two of them entered Tanzhou City, maybe it was their trick, that's why I sent someone to urgently summon you back, otherwise, you will wait until next year in Tanzhou, and it will be impossible to see the two of them."

Zifeng blamed himself: "It's Zifeng who is out of check, Zifeng is incompetent." ”

The prince shook his hand: "It's not your fault, it's their cunning that is far beyond the prince's expectations, and besides, the route they traveled was also told to you by the prince, so I won't mention it." ”

"Zifeng, don't you know, something big has happened in the past few days."

Purple Wind asked, "What's the matter?" ”

The prince said: "The flying sand is almost completely wiped out. ”

Zifeng was surprised: "What? ”

Although I knew that they would not have a good ending, the good news came so quickly that it was indeed a bit unexpected.

The crown prince informed him of everything that had happened in the past few days, and then ordered him to continue to monitor the Wing Palace, but he needed to be more careful. Obviously, the sudden initiative of the Wing King made this prince, who was accustomed to striking first and was known for his insidiousness, also felt a little frightened.

The crown prince told Zifeng that after the emperor learned that his flying sand had been completely wiped out, he fell ill again in anger, and now he has been lying in bed for a few days, and he has not yet recovered. In the past, the Winged King was chased by the Flying Sand and Shadowless to hide in Tibet, and for the current Winged King, they suddenly had a feeling of helplessness. Although the prince was calm, his expression still inadvertently revealed a trace of panic.

……

Zifeng returned to Wude Hall, and Zhou Yunqi also mentioned the killing of Feisha Wuying, and he told Zifeng:

"Hall master, Liu Mingyu went to the Prince's Mansion on the evening of the other two days."

"Liu Mingyu?" Purple Wind spoke coldly.

Zhou Yunqi said in a low voice: "Liu Mingyu was originally the prince's person. ”

Zi Feng understood the meaning of Zhou Yunqi's words, after he had just assumed the position of the master of Wude Hall, it was precisely because Liu Mingyu was the prince's person that he deliberately demoted him to the deputy deacon, and let the deputy deacon be in charge of internal affairs, and generally did not let him participate in any actions. In fact, Liu Mingyu has also expressed his dissatisfaction openly and secretly many times, but Zifeng only ignores it and ignores it, which also leads to Liu Mingyu's resentment towards him.

Seeing that he was silent, Zhou Yunqi asked tentatively: "Hall Master, do you want to ...... Zhou Yunqi" His palm spread out and made a "kill" gesture.

Zifeng raised his hand: "Don't touch him yet, if he dies suddenly for no reason, he will definitely attract the attention of the prince, the prince is not stupid." ”

He looked at Zhou Yunqi, his eyes were sharp, and asked, "Deacon Zhou, there is a sentence, I have always wanted to ask you, why did you save me in the battle of Truffle Mountain?" ”

Zhou Yunqi probably didn't expect him to ask this question, he was slightly stunned, then thought about it, and said: "Hall master, to be honest, I, Zhou Yunqi, have nothing else to do except know some martial arts, not only do I have no illustrious family affairs as a background, but also, because of my father, I have become a bad boy who is scolded by others, Bai Dao disdains to contain me, and I can only find a way to survive in the underworld." ”

"Your father?" Zifeng looked at him puzzled.

Zi Feng only knew that he was a man in the underworld, when Wudetang recruited people, it was he who found Zi Feng himself, asked to join, and said that he wanted to make a career, and since he joined Wude Tang, he was obedient to Zi Feng's words, loyal, and quite brainy, especially in the battle of Truffle Mountain, he saved himself desperately, which made Zi Feng look at him differently and promoted him to chief deacon. Now that he is talking about family matters, it is a little surprising to Zifeng.

He asked, "What's going on?" ”

Zhou Yunqi's face was gloomy, and he replied: "My father used to be a wealthy businessman in the capital, to put it mildly, he is the 'profiteer' in the mouth of the people, for that little yellow and white thing, he was diligent in calculating others, and did things that hurt the heavens and reason, resulting in the destruction of other people's families, the government arrested my father, raided my home, and sentenced me to life imprisonment, my mother left home in a fit of anger, leaving me alone to live with my grandparents, I was only ten years old at that time, my father and mother were gone, and the family property was gone, and everyone scolded me as the son of a profiteer and looked down on me. ”

Speaking of this, he lowered his head and said in a low voice: "In order for my grandparents to have something to eat, I can only rely on helping people collect debts and collect rent, and I am often bullied, but I am not willing to live like this, becoming a street rat that everyone shouts and beats, I also want to take refuge in decent people and create a career, but people in the righteous path look down on me, and I can only join the underworld." I thought that I would become a waste person in my life, but since I met the hall master, your appreciation of Yun Qi, your trust in me, and treating me as a brother have made me finally feel that I am still a useful person, so I am willing to follow the hall master without regrets. ”

Zi Feng looked at him quietly, knowing from his determined eyes that he was not lying, and his gratitude was also from the heart.

He said: "Yunqi, you must know that Wudetang is the prince's institution, and he also wants to go out to kill people, maybe all the people he kills are good people, or maybe he will never come back if he goes out, and you are willing to follow me?" ”

Zhou Yunqi straightened his back, hugged his fists and said: "Hall master, I, Zhou Yunqi, have no other skills, I just want to take refuge in a good master, a master who looks up to me and treats me as a person, you also made me a deacon of Wude Hall, your kindness to my Yunqi, Yunqi has no teeth to forget, and it is difficult to repay the broken bones." No matter what you do, as long as you follow you, I will go wherever you go, I will do whatever you want me to do, if you want to go to hell, let Yunqi go to hell first. Yun Qi is only loyal to the hall master in this life! ”

A trace of emotion rose in Zifeng's heart, among all living beings, it may be a great blessing in life to meet a friend who is sincere to him.

"Okay, just for what you said today, I, Zifeng, will treat you as my brother, let's work together in the future and break the world together." He held out a hand to him.

Looking at his hand, Zhou Yunqi's eyes were so moved that his eyes were red, and he stretched out his hand and held it tightly with Zifeng's hand.

A faint smile provoked on Zi Feng's lips: "Brother! Since we are our own people, I won't hide it, I want to ask you to do something. ”

Zhou Yunqi said: "Hall Master, what do you want Yunqi to do, just say it." ”

Zi Feng put his mouth to his ear and whispered, and Zhou Yunqi nodded again and again.
