Dark clouds covered the moon, strong winds, a heavy rain swept in, ruthlessly scouring the ground, and there were people who had lost their lives, officers and soldiers wearing robes and hats, patrolling this barren countryside and forest to see if there was still any life.

In that battle, countless corpses were left behind, including the rebels of the Lingye Palace, the secret guards of the Hengshan faction, and the officers and soldiers. The battle was chaotic, and although the Hengshan faction successfully rescued the heads of the various factions in this operation, it suffered a lot of damage, especially the chief disciple Li Zifeng was arrested.

In the dense forest not far away, Li Shijie held an umbrella and watched all this silently, and when he saw Li Zifeng, who was seriously injured and unconscious, being carried away by the officers and soldiers, he felt uncomfortable for a moment.

The rain hit his face, and he didn't know if he was crying. This account should also be counted on the head of the Hengshan faction, if it weren't for Ouyang Ze, why did he and Li Zifeng come to this point.

At this time, a figure cautiously stood behind him, he was simply draped in a robe, "Less... Less owner. ”

"You're here..." Li Shijie's voice was hoarse, and he was not surprised by the people behind him, this line had been buried for too long, so long that he almost forgot it. As soon as it was activated, it played such a big role, Li Shijie exhaled deeply, and a breath of hot air slowly dispersed, "I originally thought you had no ability, but unexpectedly, I underestimated you." ”

Li Shijie turned around, and through the faint afterglow, he looked at the cautious person in front of him, the disciple of Yan Cheng, the elder of the Hengshan faction, who was a disciple of Yan Cheng! Although He Yukun's status in the Hengshan faction was not low, it was all based on the majesty of Yan Cheng, and he himself was not good at learning, which caused many disciples to disobey him.

Yan Cheng also hates that iron does not become steel, and every task assigned to him is the most basic, and he wants him to exercise and build prestige. In a mission, because of arrogance and fell into the trap of the opponent, when his life hung by a thread, he was rescued by Li Shijie who passed by, and the grace of saving his life was greater than the sky, and since then, he has listened to Li Shijie's instructions with all his heart.

A few years ago, Li Shijie was able to explore the matter of the library pavilion smoothly, and his handwriting was indispensable.

"The young master is serious. He Yukun changed his usual posture of bullying people, "That Li Zifeng likes to oppress people on weekdays, I have long seen that he is not pleasing to the eye..." He Yukun unscrupulously vented his dissatisfaction.

"This is the gap between you and him!" Before He Yukun finished speaking, he was coldly interrupted by Li Shijie, who threw him a piece of gold, "Go back! ”

After that, Li Shijie turned around and left, and his figure gradually disappeared into the rainy night, leaving He Yukun alone in a daze.

............

The sky was slightly bright, the rain gradually stopped, and the early morning sky was covered with a layer of mist, and everywhere was full of moisture.

Ouyang Ze didn't sleep all night, and even if he took an occasional nap, he would be awakened by nightmares. In the nightmare, Li Zifeng was stabbed to death by Li Shijie with a sword, he didn't understand why he had this dream, he couldn't sleep left and right, he simply didn't sleep anymore, and watched the rainy night with his eyes open until dawn.

The first news that Elder Wu Shen brought back was that the whole city of Wei'an City was under martial law, and the officers and soldiers searched for the anti-party, causing an uproar. Wei'an City can only enter but not leave, and everyone who enters the city has to go through strict search and interrogation.

Ouyang Ze suddenly had an ominous premonition in his heart, something had happened to Li Zifeng! The tea cup in his hand was unstable, and it fell on the table and rolled, and the tea flowed wantonly on the table.

Afraid of something, at this time, a disciple under Wu Shen came back and forth, saying that the second senior brother Xu Zining, with the dark guards Xiao Wushuang and Yu Hao, and the shadow guards Piaoyun and Shen Yu, knelt together in the inner hall to plead guilty. Ouyang Ze's eyes tightened, and he turned around and went to the inner hall without thinking about it.

It had just rained, the sky was still a little gloomy, and the light in the originally transparent inner hall was also a little darker at this time, and the attendant disciples lit candles and retreated silently. The atmosphere in this inner hall is really heavy.

Seeing Ouyang Ze coming, Xu Zining reluctantly knelt up straight and replied, "Master, all the heads have been rescued, and they are now placed in the secret courtyard, and the follow-up ...... will be arranged by the third junior brother Zhou Wenxian."

"What about Zifeng?" Ouyang Ze didn't wait for Xu Zining to finish speaking, the uneasiness in his heart increased, if Li Zifeng was safe and sound, these follow-up matters must be arranged by him personally, and Xu Zining and they would not kneel down and ask for guilt.

Hearing Li Zifeng's name, Xu Zining's tears flowed uncontrollably, and he couldn't finish wiping them, and he couldn't speak for a long time, and the four people behind him silently lowered their heads with solemn faces.

Ouyang Ze frowned, and couldn't help but roar, "What are you crying about, talking!!"

Yi Hao straightened his body and said boldly, "The boss, his subordinates are not doing things well and have not protected the eldest son." ”

Piaoyun couldn't help it, and took two steps on his knees, "Master, in order to protect the evacuation of the brigade, the eldest prince fell into Li Shijie's trap and was captured by the officers and soldiers as a traitor. ”

After Piaoyun finished speaking in one breath, he couldn't forget that when they were under siege, Li Zifeng opened a gap for them in order to protect them, and he wanted to stay with him, but he was pushed hard, Li Zifeng glared at him and yelled 'Get out!'. That kind of resoluteness was deeply engraved in his heart.

When Ouyang Ze heard this, he suddenly felt dizzy, his forehead was covered with cold sweat, his body took several steps back uncontrollably, and he almost fell, but was supported by Wu Shen, "Senior brother in charge!"

At this time, one of Wu Shen's secret guards hurriedly entered, "Master, Elder!" The next moment saw Ouyang Ze's face gloomy, and the following people knelt on the ground led by Xu Zining, and knelt down unconsciously.

Wu Shen frowned and scolded, "If you have something to say, what kind of system will you become?"

The Dark Guard took a deep breath, "Where the incident happened... At the foot of Shi Qingshan, the body of Xu Weixiang and Xu guards was found. ”

The sky thundered with a muffled sound, exploding in Xu Zining's ears, his emotions were out of control, a mouthful of blood spurted out, and the whole person was paralyzed on the ground.

"Second son!" ......

Life within the palace walls is still the same, and it seems that it has not been affected by the tense atmosphere of Wei'an City, and the figure of Hu Li, the imperial guard, hurriedly shuttles through the palace and goes straight to the imperial study.

Zhu Xingzhan had just left the morning court, and was reading the folds in the imperial study, the slowly rising sandalwood smell in the incense burner spread around, and Zhu Xingzhan drank the freshly brewed West Lake Longjing, which barely alleviated a lot of discomfort.

At this time, Hu Guard's invitation to see, Zhu Xingzhan rubbed his temples, "Pass!"

After Hu Li saw the salute, he recounted everything that happened in the night, and when Li Zifeng was mentioned, he paused unconsciously. Zhu Xingzhan glanced over, "What's wrong?"

Hu Li arched his hand and said, "Back to Your Majesty, Li Zifeng has been arrested on the spot and is now in the prison of Xing Weifu, but he is seriously injured and is still in a coma, and Xing Weifu has already bandaged him with medicine." ”

Zhu Xingzhan's eyes deepened a little, and when he heard that Li Zifeng was successfully captured, he didn't react much, as if he had caught a small role that was not worth mentioning, Zhu Xingzhan put down the teacup and asked, "What about the others?"

"All the people gathered fled, and most of the remaining deceased were rebels from the Lingye Palace, and a few were unidentified, which are currently being verified. After Hu Li finished speaking, he hesitated for a long time, and he glanced at Zhu Xingzhan uncertainly.

"Say!"

Among the people who assisted everyone to escape, Xu Xiangkun and Xu Geling were found. ”

"Bastard thing!" Zhu Xingzhan flicked his sleeves, and the teacup on the table was scratched to the ground, shattered to pieces.

Hu Li was startled, and hurriedly knelt on the ground, waiting for instructions. The piercing crisp sound also caused the eunuchs and palace maids waiting outside the door to kneel down, and the attendants trembled and did not dare to take a breath.

Zhu Xingzhan's face was gloomy, and his eyes became cold, "Where is Xu Xiangkun now?!"

"I just entered the city and went in the direction of Xing Weifu. Someone has been sent to follow. ”

Zhu Xingzhan breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Immediately take someone to Xing Wei's Mansion to intercept and take Xu Xiangkun to the imperial study for questioning!"

"Yes!"
