Three months later, late winter and early spring......

The dungeon, stuffy and damp, can't see the light all day long, the iron chain crosses the ground, making a dull 'whoosh' sound, Li Zifeng, who is heavily shackled, is escorted into the execution chamber by two strong men, and in the dim light, a person stands with his back to him, it is the solemn elder Haiyi.

Li Zifeng was about to kneel down and salute, Hai Yi waved his hand, and then turned around, "No need to be polite." ”

Hai Yi stared at Li Zifeng expressionlessly for a long time, and didn't say anything, Li Zifeng's pale face couldn't see the slightest emotion, and then opened his chapped mouth and got straight to the point, "Is it to abolish martial arts and expel the master, or to die with a cane?"

Haiyi sighed, "I'm here to take you out." ”

Li Zifeng was slightly surprised, "Where are you going?"

"Shang Qing Yuan. ”

......

Shangqing Garden, burning charcoal fire, sandalwood swirling.

"Head, Li Zifeng hasn't confessed yet, isn't it a bit ...... to let him out now?"

Yan Cheng was a little puzzled, this matter through the Council of Elders was not something that Ouyang Ze could change at will, Yan Cheng was reminding.

Ouyang Ze pointed to a piece of bright yellow letter paper on the bookcase, the forces that can afford to use this specially made paper as a messenger are either the royal family or those few families.

This letter came from the Duanmu family, the largest family of Liang Jingchao, and expressed his gratitude to Li Zifeng for saving the daughter of the Duanmu family in the stronghold of Lingye Palace, and said that there was also a generous gift.

"Let him come out and rest for a few days, and don't let him have any contact with the outside world. ”

Ouyang Ze was a little annoyed, he had no intention of explaining anything, he had checked for so long, and he didn't find any news that had a substantive effect, and the information delivered by the secret guards this morning, a large number of killers from the Lingye Palace were dispatched, and their whereabouts were secretive. In this way, it seems that even after many encirclements and suppressions, their core strength has not been hit hard.

......

At night, Shangqingyuan was a little cold, and there seemed to be no one around, and occasionally birds flew by, making bursts of calls.

Li Zifeng was wearing thin clothes and kneeling in the Shangqing Garden. After staying in prison for more than three months, Li Zifeng's face was abnormally pale, his eyes were full of bloodshots, and the whole person was thinner than when he returned to the mountain, but his eyes were calmer.

Ouyang Ze and Li Zifeng's master and apprentice were in Shang Qingyuan, kneeling and standing.

Ouyang Ze's eyes were a little heavy, he looked at Li Zifeng who was kneeling on the ground, and let out a deep breath, "Is there anything else you want to say?"

The disciple had nothing to say. ”

The news read out in public by Elder Solemn Hai Yi and the development of the matter are interlocking, and no one can defend them.

Shang Qingyuan was silent for a while......

Ouyang Ze sighed heavily, his tone was a little strange, "Give you a task, as long as you do it, the Hengshan faction will still be your home, and I can blame everything in the past, between us, as always." ”

With the last glimmer of hope, Li Zifeng asked in a hoarse voice, "What do you command?"

Ouyang Ze looked at Li Zifeng with burning eyes, hatred mixed with expectation, and his tone was calm, "I only want you, and lead people to destroy Hongyuan Villa, and no one in the village will be left." ”

Li Zifeng's heart trembled, "Dare to ask Master, is there any evidence of Hongyuan Villa's collusion with Lingye Palace?"

He also vaguely knew that there was something wrong with Hongyuan Villa, but there was no substantial evidence. If you want to make a move against a famous faction, the Hengshan faction, which is the leader of the martial arts, must also have conclusive evidence. But if the rivers and lakes need evidence for everything, then the rivers and lakes will no longer be the rivers and lakes, and he Li Zifeng will not go to prison!

Ouyang Ze was stunned word by word, "I just need you to answer, do you go, or don't you go?!"

There was silence again.

Li Zifeng's eyes appeared in front of him the one who maintained him everywhere, gave him a faint light in his darkest moments, the young man with a young and stubborn face, steamed buns, vegetable soup, desserts, new clothes......

"Brother, brother......" The concerned voice lingered in Li Zifeng's ears over and over again.

Li Zifeng looked hopeful, "Master, can you ......?"

"Don't leave one!" Ouyang Ze squinted his eyes slightly, and did not wait for Li Zifeng to say his words of pleading, the long-sealed hatred and categorical tone, Li Zifeng only saw resoluteness.

"Master, even if Li Muyang colluded with Lingye Palace, Li Shijie is innocent, he is just a puppet who is controlled by others. He, the young owner of Hongyuan Villa, has long been in name only and has no real power. There are also other attendants, disciples, and female dependents of the villa. What's wrong with them?"

Ouyang Ze roared angrily, "Don't let me repeat it again!"

What a ridiculous thing it is that his most proud apprentice is the son of an enemy. Or perhaps, his Ouyang Ze's eleven years of hard work are just a joke in the end!

Li Zifeng knelt on the ground straight, closed his eyes and said nothing, letting the tears roll to the ground. I only felt that my heart was pierced by ten thousand sharp swords, and my heart ached.

Ouyang Ze sighed helplessly, "Go back to your room! I'll give you three days to think about it, and after three days, I want you to answer in person." ”

Li Zifeng kowtowed, got up and walked out of Shang Qingyuan slowly. Two Dark Guards followed.

When he stepped out of the threshold of Shang Qingyuan's lobby, Ouyang Ze's indifferent voice behind him came again, "Life or death, it's all in your thoughts." ”

Looking at the back of Li Zifeng leaving, Ouyang Ze took two steps back, then sat down on the chair, and sighed silently in his heart, could it be that the entire Hengshan faction can't resist the Hongyuan Villa that has made you humiliated? Don't you like memories since you were a child, how can you think of it now? You pity your brotherhood, how can you not pity it, I have raised you for many years, and I refuse to pity my trust and expectations for you......

When he returned to Yuntian Pavilion, Li Zifeng had already packed up all his emotions, as if nothing had happened, if it weren't for the two guards who didn't leave behind him, Xu Zining would have thought that everything that happened to Li Zifeng was a nightmare, and when he woke up, everything was as usual.

Three days later

Li Zifeng stepped into the gate of Shangqing Garden again, under the warm spring sun, the green plants drilled yellow-green shoots, and there were crystal clear water droplets hanging on them, which was very lovely. At this time, the wind and the sun were beautiful, the blue sky and white clouds, Li Zifeng looked up greedily, his eyes full of affection.

The disciple in charge of the escort wondered, "What's wrong?" At this time, he didn't even dare to call his senior brother.

"It's nothing, it's a rare good weather, I just want to take a second look. ”

After that, Li Zifeng walked into the study, said goodbye to Ouyang Ze, and absolutely chose poison......

The Hengshan faction rang the bell of the funeral, and the news that Ouyang Ze had personally executed the chief disciple Li Zifeng spread far and wide, and the disciples, guards, and attendants talked about it. Only Ouyang Ze sat alone in Shang Qingyuan's study, gloomy and sad.

Ten days later......

Autumn is stronger, the wind at night is colder, Ouyang Ze stood in front of the bedroom window in his coat, looking at the bright moon. At this time, there was a sound of footsteps behind him, Ouyang Ze was not surprised, but asked tiredly, "Are you still asleep?"

"Yes. "The person who came was none other than Elder Ming Su of Yaodan. Ming Su bowed slightly, and replied, "The heart is extremely sick, probably because he doesn't want to wake up!"

The next day, Mingsu carried the medicine box and walked into the unknown place again

Already familiar with the dark path, Mingsu walked through the long secret passage, walked to a secret cell, activated the secret grid mechanism, the stone door suddenly opened, and on the stone brick bed on one side, there was a person lying quietly. When he was done, he got up and left.

In the dim candlelight, the man's fingers moved slightly......
