Chapter 163: Dark Night
Xu is Li Zifeng was born to work hard, and he has been worried about He Yi and the traitor in his heart, but he can't lie down after all, so he completely woke up in this way'routine, Mingsu took the pulse, personally boiled the decoction and sent it to Ouyang Ze, with an inexplicable look in his eyes.
Ouyang Ze sat on the edge of the bed with the medicine bowl, scooping the decoction spoonful, the medicinal juice rippled in the bowl, when Li Zifeng was sick or injured in the past, when he saw Ouyang Ze's action, he would always pretend to be afraid, shrink his body to hide in the corner of the bed, and begged for mercy: The decoction is too bitter, beg the master to spare the apprentice!
Li Zifeng stared straight at it, his eyes were full of indifference, how could he not understand Ouyang Ze's soft and flattering actions, but the suffering he had suffered in the past four years had already exhausted the little thirst and hope in his heart, and he couldn't make the slightest wave.
Seeing that Ouyang Ze scooped a spoonful of decoction and was about to send it to his mouth, Li Zifeng dodged as if he was frightened, "Disciple... How dare you bother the head to do it. After that, he took the medicine bowl in Ouyang Ze's hand and drank it all, the bitter smell of medicine spread in his mouth, causing Li Zifeng to frown and forcibly endure the disgusting smell of medicine.
Ouyang Ze's hand froze in mid-air, and it took a long time to put it down in embarrassment, looking at Li Zifeng's indifferent reaction, Ouyang Ze had mixed feelings in his heart, and couldn't help but be annoyed, secretly scolding himself for being cocooned.
After a few cold breaths, the room was silent, so silent that it was suffocating, for a long time, it was Li Zifeng who opened his mouth first, "The disciple will move back to the miscellaneous courtyard tomorrow to work, and he will not eat in vain." And those wound medicines, try to reduce them as much as possible! Such a good medicine is not worth it for me. β
When Li Zifeng said this, he was expressionless, as if he was talking about something that had nothing to do with him. Ouyang Ze smiled bitterly, his expression was a little embarrassed, "I think there are some things that should let you know......"
So, Ouyang Ze said some things about colluding with Lingye Palace to poison the children of the family and assassinate the decent disciples of various famous sects, after some investigations by the captain of the shadow guard without a trace and the confession of the traitor captured by Qingsongtang, Li Zifeng and Hongyuan Villa colluded with Lingye Palace to kill decent disciples is not established, Li Zifeng was framed!
"Hmm. Li Zifeng replied coldly, as if what Ouyang Ze just said had nothing to do with him.
Ouyang Ze was suddenly embarrassed, and continued to have nothing to say, "Elder Su Yan told me some things back then, including..."
"Master, the disciple has no right to know the conversation between you and the elder. Ouyang Ze was halfway through his words, but he was coldly interrupted by Li Zifeng, and Ouyang Ze's heart was sour again.
Holding the empty medicine bowl in his hand and playing with it, maybe the medicine bowl was the best tool for him to resolve the embarrassment, the candle flame burned to the charred wick, crackling and bursting, causing the flame to shake slightly, dangling on his eyes, a little sore.
Outside the door, Ming Su and Shen Zhiping had been watching silently, and Shen Zhiping shook his head helplessly, "I knew that this was the case, why did I have to eat the bitter fruit in the first place." β
When Ming Su opened his mouth and didn't know how to respond, the door opened, Ouyang Ze walked out with a medicine bowl in his hand, and Shen Zhiping smiled, "How?"
Ouyang Ze's eyes swelled and heated, and then turned red, and he smiled reluctantly, "It's okay." After that, he didn't say hello to the two of them, and walked straight out......
The sun rises and sets again, day by day, infinitely repeated, in the blink of an eye, it is the end of the day again......
In the late autumn and early winter, the cold is even stronger, the wind blowing in the middle of the night is like a knife on the face, the dark and damp prison seems to have entered the winter in advance, and the cold air is bubbling from the inside out, and the disciples on duty add thick coats, keep rubbing their hands, walking back and forth, and try to keep themselves warm.
"What the hell is this weather? What's the winter ahead of schedule?!" one of the guards finally complained.
"Okay, bear with it! Talk less, and keep your body warm. When the hour comes, the shift will be changed, and it will be less than three hours. β
The heat emitted between the two of them talking and breathing was very obvious in the dark cold night, and at this time, a black shadow passed by silently, causing the two of them to shudder again, "Who is it?"
"You're hysterical again, aren't you? Where are the people? Although this place is in the middle of nowhere, there are two layers of light and dark handles, how can anyone easily come in?"
"Alsoβ" The guard yawned again.
Not far away, Ouyang Ze and Shen Zhiping watched all this silently, the figure who thought he had quietly entered the dungeon did not escape the eyes of the two, Ouyang Ze's eyes were gloomy, and his defense of the dungeon was so slack, sure enough, the disciples of this Dharma Ring Hall should also be cleaned up.
Ouyang Ze looked at it from a distance behind his hands, "It turns out that everything here can't escape the eyes of the junior brother." I finally understand what you mean. β
Shen Zhiping, who was standing on the side, smiled indifferently, "How can it be, if it weren't for the support of the senior brother in charge, I would be helpless even if I have great ability!"
It turned out that all this was already in Shen Zhiping's calculations, Qingsongtang had a mole, although it was just a small fish and shrimp, but what was involved behind it must not be so simple, plus some things he explained sporadically, so Shen Zhiping faintly guessed that there was also a mole in the sect, so he took someone to escort Shi Xuan back to the mountain to be imprisoned, saying to the outside world that Shi Xuan had confessed everything, temporarily imprisoned in the dungeon and waiting to be released, and stayed with good food and drink, and the diet was in charge of a special person, and it would never let people take advantage of the loopholes and poison them. When everything is ready, just wait for the mole to take the bait.
Sure enough, within five days, the mole couldn't sit still!
Ouyang Ze's expression was solemn, "Everything in the dungeon has been arranged?"
"Senior brother, rest assured, it has been arranged. Just wait for him to drill in. β
The dungeon was dimly lit, and he barely managed to see against the oil lamps hanging from the walls on either side, and there were faint moans of pain and the dull sound of leather whips pounding on flesh, and the smell of blood mixed with cold water filled his ears.
The black-clothed masked man swept past and walked until he reached a solitary cell deep in the dungeon before stopping, silently stunning the guards, and skillfully opening the cell door, Shi Xuan was lying on a stone brick bed with his back to him.
The man in black seemed to be a little hesitant, but after half a cup of tea, he approached Shi Xuan without hesitation, took out a black porcelain bottle from his body, pulled out the cork, and wanted to pour medicine into Shi Xuan's mouth.
said that it was too late, and then it was too fast, 'Shi Xuan' suddenly turned over, raised his leg and kicked off the porcelain medicine bottle in the hand of the man in black, and the medicine bottle fell to the ground and rolled a few times before stopping.
In a few moves, the black-clothed masked man was stopped, and was restrained and forced to a corner, a short knife was already on his neck, at this time, the dungeon was brightly lit, and the black-clothed masked man saw this, and suddenly opened his eyes, "Why are you?!"
