The sunset was slanting, sprinkling a golden-red light, the mountain wind gradually stirred, the trees and vegetation rustled, and the disciples of the Hengshan faction guarded the faint light of the lanterns and patrolled on the winding mountain road.

Huayue Pavilion held the lights, Hai Yi held an official document in his hand, his brows were not spread, completely ignoring the tea that had been put in the cold, the content of the official document made him a little worried: A small team of unidentified people sneaked into Xiyuan Town, which was close to Wei'an City, and the remaining person who was suspected of black and white double poison, Black Wing!

Xiyuan Town... Hai Yi muttered in a low voice. At this time, Shi Yu, a disciple who was with him, came in to report, "Uncle Lu has arrived." ”

Haiyi seemed to have just come back to his senses, "Please." ”

However, within a few breaths, Lu Shiqing, who was dressed in dark blue clothes, walked in slowly, wanted to say a few words, but in a blink of an eye, he saw Hai Yi's solemn expression, swallowed his words back, and was about to salute, Hai Yi spoke first, "Senior brother is here, sit down!" After that, he pointed to the seat on the side.

Lu Shiqing took the hot tea served by the waiter and cleared his throat, "Hmm... Senior brother is looking for me for something?"

Hai Yi has always been serious, and his joy and anger are invisible, and Lu Shiqing can talk easily and humorously in front of other brothers and sisters. Only in front of Haiyi, the elder brother, he will unconsciously restrain his temperament and speak seriously.

Besides, after the incident of Shen Zhiping and Li Zifeng, he was in no mood to make fun anymore.

Lu Shiqing saw that Hai Yi didn't speak for a long time, but just stared at him with burning eyes, and felt a little uncomfortable in his heart, and then smiled awkwardly, "If you go down the mountain, it's okay to run errands or something, if it's about ciphertext or something, forget it!" Lu Shiqing still remembers the pain of the wisteria whip back then.

Hai Yi was a little helpless, Lu Shiqing, who has always been relaxed and humorous, would be inexplicably nervous every time he was alone with him, could it be that he was really too serious on weekdays? Thinking of this, Hai Yi deliberately straightened his face, "If you forget it, wouldn't your junior brother miss your old friend?"

"Old friend?" Lu Shiqing raised his eyebrows, the nervous feeling disappeared instantly, and he pondered slightly, "Senior Brother refers to Luojiabao's old friend?"

Hai Yi was noncommittal, and Lu Shiqing continued to ask, "This time, where is it?"

When the words landed, an official document was firmly placed in front of him, and Lu Shiqing opened it and read it roughly, "Xiyuan Town? It seems that the well-guarded Wei'an City is now also in turmoil." Lu Shiqing shook his head helplessly, "Or, the Lingye Palace is about to collapse." ”

Hai Yi picked up the teacup and looked at Lu Shiqing tentatively, "If it weren't for the fact that the head of the family had been sick, I would have to go and find out in person......"

"Senior brother, rest assured, I can still do this errand job. Lu Shiqing saw through it and didn't expose it, he took the first step, he was like a mirror in his heart, he understood what he should understand, and he didn't want to understand what he shouldn't understand.

Hai Yi exhaled deeply, "This matter is not trivial, has the junior brother really thought it through?"

"Well, yes!" Lu Shiqing picked up the official document and played with it in his hand, pretending to be relaxed, "As long as it is related to poison, I will not let it go." Don't worry, brother, I understand. ”

There was silence in the study for a while, only the fragrance of tea overflowed, Lu Shiqing looked up at Haiyi, and the two looked at each other and smiled.

Guard City

The sky was dark and the breeze was blowing, and the street vendors began to pack up their stalls and go home one after another, and the number of pedestrians on the road gradually decreased, and lanterns were hung at the entrances of the shops and liquor shops, sprinkling a dim yellow light.

Because he was afraid of arousing suspicion, Shen Zhiping took Shen Hongfei and Lingxi to settle the account when he took a note on the street, and walked around the street a few times casually, and listened to some news by the way, and then hid in the crowd, waiting for Li Zifeng's figure.

A carriage drove steadily on the street, heading towards Tianhe Teahouse, still driven by Lan Ying, accompanied by Shang Huaifeng, but on this road, no matter how Shang Huaifeng tried it, Li Zifeng did not take the initiative to say a word except for a simple answer, and the atmosphere seemed a little stiff.

The carriage was getting closer and closer to the Tianhe Teahouse, Li Zifeng listened to the movement outside, and said lightly, "Stop." ”

After the sound of the horses retracting, the carriage stopped on the side of the road where there were few pedestrians, Shang Huaifeng looked at Li Zifeng, and then lifted the curtain to look outside, deep in the dim street, the flag signboard of Tianhe Teahouse loomed.

Shang Huaifeng lowered the curtain and asked, "Why stop?" ”

"The carriage was so bumpy, I wanted to go down and walk around by myself, and get some air. Li Zifeng's voice was flat, and he couldn't hear the slightest emotion. When the voice landed, he was ready to get up and get out of the car.

Shang Huaifeng stopped for a moment, and said with rare concern, "It's getting late, let's send you back!"

Li Zifeng dodged silently, "For me, does it make a difference if it's dark tomorrow?" Li Zifeng ignored the obstruction and insisted on getting out of the carriage. At this time, the breeze was blowing, and Li Zifeng suddenly felt that his breathing was much easier.

"Your medicine. Shang Huaifeng poked his head out of the car window and threw a small cloth bag on Li Zifeng's body.

Li Zifeng caught it, perhaps because he felt that his attitude was not very good, and his tone instantly eased a lot, "Thank you, Elder, you should go back earlier!" With that, he walked tentatively towards the Tianhe Teahouse with a blind cane and the recognition of the direction in his mind.

Shang Huaifeng looked at Li Zifeng's stubborn back, his expression was inexplicable, and then he sighed heavily. Lan Ying asked tentatively, "Elder, if the disciple doesn't follow quietly, Senior Brother is really ...... like this."

"Didn't you hear what he said, go back!" Shang Huaifeng's eyes were deep, and he paused and continued, "If we don't go back, he won't be at ease." ”

Li Zifeng walked to the gate of the backyard of the Tianhe Teahouse in the dark, and under the dim light, the figure was stretched for a long time. At this moment, the sound of slow footsteps sounded in my ears, and the three figures were slowly approaching. He could hear that it was Shen Zhiping's three.

The next moment before he came back to his senses, a person pounced on him and hugged him, only sobbing remained in his ears, Li Zifeng suddenly felt that there seemed to be a feeling of wetness in his shoulder, Li Zifeng took out a free hand and patted her shoulder, "Lingxi, I'm fine." ”

Although Shen Zhiping received the note, Li Zifeng was 'lost' from her after all, so this afternoon's wait was tantamount to a kind of torment for her, and after anxiously waiting, she finally breathed a sigh of relief when she saw Li Zifeng appear in front of her unharmed.

"Where the hell have you been, it scared me to death......" Lingxi's voice choked.

Although there was a signal from the young lady of Duanmu Mansion before, Li Zifeng never considered the love of children, and now in the face of Lingxi, he also turned red, he never thought that Lingxi, who has always been charming and seductive, would also have this side.

Li Zifeng looked in the direction of Shen Zhiping and Shen Hongfei for help, but the two didn't seem to react, just looked at the two of them with a funny face. ’

After a while, Shen Zhiping sighed slightly, although he received the news left by Shang Huaifeng, but this afternoon, the three of them, any of them were tormented in their hearts.

It's just that... How did Shang Huaifeng learn the whereabouts of the four of them? Isn't it the senior brother in charge, it's not right to think about it, if it's really him, then at noon today, I won't see him anxiously searching, could it be... Prime Minister Wan Ziyu, Shen Zhiping shook his head, his heart was in turmoil.

"Okay, I'm fine. Li Zifeng finally let go of Lingxi, and stiffly raised his hand to help Lingxi wipe his tears, but after lifting it for a while, he still put it down awkwardly.

Listening to Shen Zhiping walking towards him, Li Zifeng lowered his head slightly, "Uncle Shi, I'm sorry." ”

Shen Zhiping's eyes were slightly red, and he gently patted Li Zifeng's shoulder, "Let's go!" ”

Lingxi lost her tears, hugged Li Zifeng, and the figures of the four gradually disappeared into the darkness.

When I returned to the back door of the Prime Minister's Mansion, it was already completely dark, and the back door was illuminated by a faint moonlight, Shen Zhiping stepped forward and gently buckled the door three times, and after a while, the door of the backyard opened, and the housekeeper Wan Lin looked around the courtyard with a lantern, and said softly, "Come back?" ”

The courtyard door closed, casting a black shadow on the ground

Wan Lin welcomed the four of them into the door, looked at Li Zifeng again, and said, "Our master said that when Li Gongzi comes back, he will go to the secret room of the study immediately." Said that there were distinguished guests who had been waiting for a long time. ”

It's a distinguished guest again, Li Zifeng was slightly stunned, and Shen Zhiping thought that Ouyang Ze came to the door directly, but Wan Lin then said, "That distinguished guest said that he only saw Li Gongzi alone, so he ......"

It seems that it is not Ouyang Ze, who will be the distinguished guest who directly found the Prime Minister's Mansion to see Li Zifeng alone? Despite many doubts, Shen Zhiping and the three of them still watched Li Zifeng being taken by Wan Lin to meet the distinguished guest.

The study was brightly lit, but Wan Ziyu was not there, Wan Lin took Li Zifeng to the bookshelf familiarly, activated the mechanism, the stone turnstile door flipped over, and the two walked into the secret room one after the other.

The secret room was also brightly lit, and the furniture was no different from Wan Ziyu's study, and a man in a black cloak stood in front of the bookshelf in the secret room, boredly flipping through the scrolls, and seemed to have been waiting for a long time.

Wan Lin stepped forward and saluted politely, "Honorable guest, Gongzi Li has arrived." ”

The man put down the scroll when he heard the sound, turned to look at the two of them, and when he saw Li Zifeng's appearance the next moment, he was stunned, and then waved his hand to signal Wan Lin to retreat.

After the sound of the stone door flipping, only Li Zifeng and the distinguished guest were left in the secret room, Li Zifeng bowed slightly, "This distinguished guest, may I ask who you are?"

The distinguished guest tentatively opened his mouth, "Li Zifeng?"

Hearing the voice, Li Zifeng was shocked!
