Li Zifeng returned to the Mulin Pavilion Courtyard in a circle, the sky was completely clear, and the sun was getting higher and higher, almost drying up all the puddles on the ground caused by the rain at night, and the air was filled with the smell of earth.

"You kid, where have you been, you left us in the Moonlight Inn for so long!" Shen Hongfei suddenly appeared and punched Li Zifeng's shoulder fiercely, "If you don't come back, we will be ready to look for you all over the street." ”

Li Zifeng frowned, covered his shoulders and was beaten back half a step, and the wound on his shoulder seemed to have cracked again.

Shen Hongfei realized that Li Zifeng didn't seem to be quite right, his neck was firmly wrapped in a hemostatic cloth, and there was a trace of blood leaking out, Shen Hongfei raised his eyebrows slightly, "Are you injured?"

Saying that, Shen Hongfei wanted to step forward to check, but Li Zifeng turned sideways slightly to dodge, "I'm fine." ”

His hand froze in mid-air, and Shen Hongfei smiled, "Your neck won't be cut by your brother, right?"

When it came to Li Shijie, Li Zifeng's eyebrows were a little colder, he looked at Shen Hongfei's face that seemed to be happy all the time, and he couldn't raise any emotions, he sighed slightly, and said officially, "I saw the topographic map of Shiqing Mountain Guangfeng Temple in Li Shijie's wing, and he studied it for a long time. ”

Shen Hongfei had never seen Li Zifeng so serious, and his expression became uncomfortable, "Fortunately, you think about it thoroughly, we found some information in the Prime Minister's Mansion last night. Go in and say. ”

While talking, the two entered the courtyard, and the courtyard suddenly became much quieter, and Li Zifeng asked, "Where is Lingxi?"

"This girl! My father entered the palace to face the saint, and she took someone to accompany her secretly, and your master also went to your Linxiu Dart Bureau to do business, leaving me alone to guard the courtyard and wait for you to come back. ”

Li Zifeng's expression was cold, and the softness between his eyebrows and eyes seemed to have faded a lot, Shen Hongfei looked at it and coughed lightly, "What's wrong with you? You quarreled with your brother? You must have been hiding on the roof and peeking and was discovered by him." ”

Li Zifeng looked at Shen Hongfei, who was looking at 'curiosity', and said, "Brother Shen understands it clearly. ”

He did have a big quarrel with Li Shijie last night, a quarrel related to his life, he never thought that one day, Li Shijie would be ruthless to him and make a fatal move. The battle on the rainy night also completely cut off the brotherhood between them, and he resolutely threw down the maple leaf jade pendant, which means that if they meet again, they will be enemies.

The two of them came to the inner hall together, and the entourage had already prepared a few desserts and hot tea, Shen Hongfei casually picked up a piece of purple potato milk cake and stuffed it into Li Zifeng's mouth, "Look at your sad face, eat some sweets first to be happy." After a while, when the Lingxi girl comes back, I will ask her to change the dressing for your wound. ”

Shen Hongfei talked about some of the things that happened in the courtyard of the Prime Minister's Mansion last night, and it wasn't until the second pot of tea was brewed that he could finish speaking, Shen Hongfei casually pinched the sweetheart cake and put it in his mouth, and all of them continued happily, "Fortunately, you thought far ahead, so you didn't let those wicked people succeed, otherwise the Prime Minister would not be able to wash it even if he jumped into the Yellow River." If you don't get it right, it will affect the prince. ”

"The servant who brought it back should be taken care of. Li Zifeng did not continue with Shen Hongfei's words.

"What are you suspicious of?" Shen Hongfei looked at Li Zifeng's expression and asked, "You can't be suspicious..." Shen Hongfei looked inside, the room arranged for the servants rescued in the other courtyard.

Li Zifeng smiled reluctantly and pretended to be relaxed, "I sometimes even doubt myself. ”

Shen Hongfei glared at him fiercely, and Li Zifeng's face seemed to be solemn again, "I always feel that these days, there are always a pair of hands that are pulling me to do something." ”

Shen Hongfei was slightly stunned, "What do you mean by this? You shouldn't suspect that you are being used, right?"

"I don't know, since I entered Wei'an City, I have a feeling that I can't speak, it's very strange. Li Zifeng pretended to be relaxed and said, "I never knew that I had such a great ability, since I entered the gate of Wei'an City, I would be 'protected' wherever I went, maybe one day I would disappear while walking." ”

Shen Hongfei was stunned for a moment, Li Zifeng's tone was relaxed, but there was not the slightest smile between his eyebrows, and it even became deeper and deeper.

Li Zifeng is indeed not joking, although the Hengshan faction and the emperor rely on each other, but the most important one of the three chapters of its covenant is not to interfere in each other's internal affairs. He originally wanted to indirectly help the Prime Minister's Mansion clear his suspicion in the name of checking the movements of the Lingye Palace, but he didn't find many clues, but everything was related to the royal family.

People in the rivers and lakes snooping on royal affairs is definitely the most taboo for Emperor Zhu Xingzhan. Therefore, it is no coincidence that every time something is completed, Xu Xiangkun, the leader of Xing Wei's Mansion, appears in front of him on time.

Shen Hongfei saw that Li Zifeng had been stunned, so he reached out and touched his forehead, thinking that he was drenched in the rain last night, had a high fever and was confused, "What are you thinking nonsense about, kid?

"I'm fine. Li Zifeng slapped Shen Hongfei's hand away heavily, his expression became more and more solemn, he didn't bother to explain anything to Shen Hongfei, and casually changed the topic, "You Mu Linge are well-informed, and you have more ways to investigate." I wonder if Brother Shen can know a person named Xu Xiangkun?"

"Xu Xiangkun, are you talking about Xu Xiangkun, the leader of Xingwei Mansion?" Shen Hongfei raised his eyebrows slightly, saw Li Zifeng nodded, and continued to ask, "What's wrong with that guy?"

"He's incomprehensible. Li Zifeng picked up a glutinous rice cake casually, dipped it in white sugar and put it in his mouth.

"I don't know more than you do. Shen Hongfei poured a cup of hot tea, "I heard that his ancestor was the founding father, and his family has been a non-official businessman for several generations, and everyone is jealous and hateful, and he is even worse." Since joining the Xingwei Mansion as an official, dozens of old cases have been resolved, and none of them have been wronged. Deeply appreciated by the emperor, no, he sat on the position of the leader of Xing Wei's mansion at a young age, as long as the crime falls into his hands, no matter how hard his mouth is, he can get something out of it with his means. ”

"Means? Is it the eighteen kinds of torture that Xing Weifu used to make life worse than death?"

Shen Hongfei waved his hand, "He has always been reasonable, unless he is a traitor or an emperor, in short, as you said, it is indeed very difficult." Shen Hongfei looked at Li Zifeng with relish, seemed to understand something, and said, "This guy won't be pestering you, right?

Li Zifeng glared at Shen Hongfei fiercely, "Brother Shen is used to joking!"

"Oh, by the way, you just said that Li Shijie has been studying the topographic map of Guangfeng Temple, are they fighting the idea of there again, should we go out of the city and go around Shiqingshan?"

"On the way back, I saw the people of Hongyuan Villa going out of the city, so I sent Shi Yi and Shi Yu to follow and check, as for the follow-up arrangements..."Li Zifeng paused and said, "After all, it is complicated, and we can't act rashly." Let's wait for Pavilion Master Shen and my master to come back and then discuss it!"

"It's fine. Shen Hongfei nodded and agreed, such a big matter should be discussed when the two principals come back.

At this time, a gust of wind swept inadvertently, and the autumn insects and birds chirped louder, which was more dry than in summer, and the sound was wave after wave, which made people tired.

Li Zifeng rubbed his aching temples, and Shen Hongfei glanced at it, "You haven't looked very good since you came back, you must have caught a cold in the rain at night, you go back to the house to rest first, and then call you when my father and your master come back." ”

Li Zifeng smiled embarrassedly, "Thank you." ”

After a few words of greeting, the two were about to stand up and prepare to go back to the house, but at the moment of standing up, a strong feeling of dizziness struck, Li Zifeng's body shook slightly, and fine beads of sweat appeared on his forehead.

Seeing this, Shen Hongfei hurriedly got up to help him, "I'm really sick, I'll send someone to invite Lang Zhong immediately." ”

"Hey, no. Li Zifeng grabbed Shen Hongfei's sleeve, "I'll go sleep for a while." ”

In the bedroom, the high-quality West Lake Longjing had already been prepared, Li Zifeng didn't drink it, just stood by the window and looked at the grass and trees in the backyard, the breeze swept by, bringing bursts of tea fragrance, Li Zifeng's face seemed to be better.

He touched his tightly bandaged neck, felt the pain of his heart, his eyes were cold, and the last bit of expectation for Hongyuan Villa and Li Shijie disappeared in Li Shijie's action of wiping his neck with a sword.

In the corner, a figure floated in, it was Piaoyun who was tracking down the shadow guard killer secretly cultivated by Wan Ziyu back, Li Zifeng swept over, "Back?"

Piaoyun suddenly knelt on one knee, as if he was pleading, seeing Piaoyun like this, Li Zifeng suddenly had an ominous premonition in his heart, "What happened?!"
