Chapter 178: Intricate
In the elegant living room of the fan building, Li Zifeng, Shen Hongfei and Ling Xi sat in front of the tea table and talked, a pot of hot tea slowly steamed, exuding bursts of fragrance.
Li Zifeng held the tea cup with a plum blossom pattern in his hand, and looked at Shen Hongfei tentatively, "Brother Shen is waiting in the fan building, not just to catch up with the past, right?"
Shen Hongfei smiled, looking at Li Zifeng's eyes with a bit of playfulness, "That's good! The next moment, he felt that Li Zifeng's eyes seemed to be about to kill, and he coughed lightly twice, "The business of Hongyuan Villa can be bigger, and it has alarmed the current emperor." ”
"The current emperor?" Li Zifeng drank a whole cup of hot tea, what's so strange about this, the emperor secretly visited the Hengshan faction a few years ago, and there were already many dissatisfaction with Hongyuan Villa, which was really not new news. Li Zifeng put down the teacup and smiled helplessly.
Li Zifeng's laughter made Shen Hongfei quite dissatisfied, and he drank to himself hatefully, "Is it so ridiculous?"
Lingxi pushed a plate of delicate snacks on the table in front of Shen Hongfei, giggled, the laughter was as crisp as a silver bell, and then stroked the jade bracelet on Bai Nen's wrist, "Lingxi has been running a fan building for many years, and I have seen two men fight for a woman. But it's the first time I've seen each other for a sentence now, and the two sons really opened Lingxi's eyes. ”
Li Zifeng pursed his lips and smiled, and Shen Hongfei shook Lingxi with hatred, "If my father stands in front of you, see if you dare to make fun of you." With that, he picked up a sweetheart cake and put it in his mouth.
Hearing this, Lingxi pursed her pink lips and continued to play with the braids hanging in front of her.
Li Zifeng paused slightly, then his eyes wandered back and forth on the two of them, and he chuckled, "It turns out that this fan building also belongs to your Mu Lin Pavilion's property. No wonder the news of the Shen Pavilion Lord would be so well-informed. ”
At the beginning, Shen Tianxiong came to the Hengshan faction to inquire about his life experience, and everything was to the point, which made people unavoidable, but now that he thinks back, he still has palpitations.
Shen Hongfei's expression was a little strange, "Ouyang Ze sent someone to destroy the Yingtian Teahouse before, but Concubine Yu Shufei cried in front of the emperor for a while, and the emperor was dizzy, but the queen came forward to solve it." ”
Li Zifeng sighed lightly, "Since ancient times, the harem has not been allowed to interfere in politics, and this Jade Concubine is also..."
Lingye Palace is involved in a wide range of things, and its strength is far stronger than he expected, plus Zhou Yixuan, the head of the Zhou family, is also involved, it seems that Lingye Palace's hand has reached out to the imperial court and the military family.
"Look at the way you look like you're facing the enemy. Shen Hongfei smiled and refused to let go of Li Zifeng, "If you want to find the root cause, you have to start with Li Muyang." ”
Li Zifeng was secretly annoyed in his heart, thinking that because he had fought side by side in the battle to eradicate the rudder of Lingye Palace, he had survived after many pursuits, and he deeply understood his suffering, he originally thought that he had sympathized with each other, but he didn't want to make a bad friend.
Thinking of the pursuit of Ling Ye Palace, he always felt that things were not so simple, and looked up at Shen Hongfei deeply, hoping to find the answer from his eyes, Shen Hongfei did not hide, "That's right, it seems that there is a shadow of the court and the military that chased and killed us before." ”
Shen Hongfei drank a cup of hot tea, "Before, your Shen Hall Master also revealed some news to me, and our people from Mu Lin Pavilion went to investigate certain families, and they found Zhou Yixuan. ”
Li Zifeng looked at Lingxi intentionally or unintentionally, "Don't worry, girl, our head doesn't know about this matter yet." ”
"It's best not to know. Shen Hongfei sighed lightly, "Recently, we inadvertently inquired about some of Ouyang Ze's secrets. Brother Li is interested in hearing about it?"
Hearing about Ouyang Ze, Li Zifeng didn't have any emotion in his eyes, and when he looked at Shen Hongfei, he had a bit of a taste of revenge, "Brother Shen has something to say, don't ask about my attitude." ”
Shen Hongfei chuckled, his eyes became mysterious, "In addition to the emperor, behind Ouyang Ze, there is also a big hand manipulating, I am afraid that it is a person in the court, at least a person in the position of prime minister." ”
This news was unexpected by Li Zifeng, his expression froze slightly, and his gaze gradually deepened, but it was only for a moment, and he regained his composure, "I have written down what Brother Shen said." ”
Lingxi, who had been hanging for a long time, was a little unhappy, picked up the small box on the side, ordered some glycerin and smeared it evenly on his hands, his eyes were full of coquettishness, "The two sons chatted so lively, so they put Lingxi aside, and Lingxi and the others' hands are a little dry!"
Li Zifeng actually had the idea of playing, "Holding the weapon and licking the blood all the year round, it is inevitable that the hands will dry and crack, but the Lingxi girl has to take good care of it to prevent it from losing its moisture in the future." ”
'Poof!' The tea in his mouth that he had time to swallow was sprayed on the tea table, splashing countless small splashes, Shen Hongfei's face was slightly reddened when he coughed, his expression was slightly weird, and he looked like he wanted to laugh but didn't dare to laugh out loud, "I didn't think that Brother Li, you also had a time when you were not serious... Ahem... Haha..."
Li Zifeng looked indifferent, "Some were killed, some fell to death while walking, and some drowned in the river... Brother Shen, if you want to laugh, just laugh out, beware of suffocation. ”
"Hahahaha......"
Hengshan School • Shang Qingyuan Study
After a few days of falling snowflakes, the afternoon finally stopped, and the trees and roofs were covered with thick white snow and ice sticks hanging upside down, which were a little dazzling in the sunlight. The attendant disciples held brooms and swept the snow from the ground.
In the study, the heat of the stove rose up, Ouyang Ze held the tea cup with hot tea in his hand, staring at a letter on the table, this is a letter from Li Zifeng.
They had made an agreement before that when they went out on a long mission, they would send a letter every six days to report their safety. The reason why the six days are set is because the six represents the good news, and it is a good sign that 'everything goes well'.
Today is the twentieth day of Li Zifeng's departure from the mountain, and the days of the first two letters are quite normal, but the letter on the bookcase has been transmitted back eight days ago, which means that there has been no news of Li Zifeng for seven days, is it inconvenient, or is there something wrong? The teacup in Ouyang Ze's hand shook, and a little bit of tea splashed out and fell on his hand, a little hot, Ouyang Ze put down the teacup and frowned slightly.
At this time, there was a knock on the door outside, "Master, senior brother has a letter back." ”
The stone in his heart finally landed, and his voice was a little lighter, "Come in." ”
After receiving the answer, Mo Xuan pushed the door in, wrapped in a cold wind, holding the letter that Ouyang Ze had been looking forward to for a long time, Mo Xuan finished handing over the letter, and then quietly retreated.
Ouyang Ze couldn't wait to open it, it was still the familiar handwriting, but there was only a simple 'An' word on it, and Ouyang Ze sighed a little disappointed.
In the past, when he passed on letters, Li Zifeng always wrote several sentences in a free manner, such as 'everything is safe, take care of ......your body' and other greetings, and sometimes he would tell himself to stay up less late, go to bed early, don't drink strong tea at night, and would say childishly, 'Don't let him run around or run errands, but also worry about it'. Every time Ouyang Ze looked at it, the smile between his eyebrows would be very strong.
This time, however, the content of the letter became less and less, and for the first time, it was 'All is going well, and the head is relieved.' The second time is 'the head of the house', but the third time is just a simple 'An' word.
It's really getting more and more businesslike, Ouyang Ze sighed silently in his heart, his eyes were slightly hot, he picked up the teacup and drank it all, the bitter taste spread in his mouth, straight into his heart.
