The twilight was heavy, and the sky seemed to be splashed with ink, thick and rich, except for the cold light of the moon.

The wing room on the second floor of the Yueming Inn, the inside and outside are brightly lit, the light shines on everyone's faces, full of worry, seeing that the sky is dark, Li Zifeng still hasn't come back, along with the drifting clouds and heavy rain around him.

After the shadow attendant went out to investigate, he came back with worrying news, saying that the leader of the Dark Pavilion who took Li Zifeng away in the afternoon was nowhere to be seen, and he had sent the person back to the designated place more than an hour ago.

Shen Hongfei was a little annoyed, he didn't know if it was because he quarreled with Li Zifeng in the afternoon, and when he was in a hurry, he didn't care about his safety to do something.

If it weren't for Shen Zhiping to stop them, Shen Hongfei and Lingxi would almost have gone out to look for people all over the street. Shen Zhiping was not worried, but he had already roughly guessed what Li Zifeng had done.

Lingxi was anxious to cry, and stamped her feet in regret, "I should have followed." ”

"Hey!" Shen Hongfei wanted to slap himself, "Okay, what am I arguing with him?" In a blink of an eye, he saw Shen Zhiping sitting calmly, his tone full of anxiety, "Hall Master Shen, you have something to say!"

The tea in front of Shen Zhiping, I don't know how many bubbles it has been brewed, and I drank it from strong tea to white water, but now I saw that Shen Hongfei was in a hurry, and said lightly, "Hongyuan Villa is his heart disease, and he will commit it when he touches it." Shen Zhiping said, looking at the sky, "It's getting late, and it's time for ghosts to travel." So..."

Shen Zhiping's tone was not as calm as before, with worry and sorrow. He understands the stubbornness and spirit in Li Zifeng's heart, and he also complains a little about him, never caring about his own safety.

Shen Hongfei stood with his hands on his hips for a while, and then he wanted to go out to look for it regardless of the obstruction, and at this moment, the door was gently pushed open, and Li Zifeng came back with the support of Piaoyun. Seeing Li Zifeng walk in, Piaoyun quietly retreated.

Lingxi ran over and hugged Li Zifeng, "Next time no matter where you go, I will follow you." ”

Li Zifeng gently patted Lingxi's back, "Okay, I'm fine, I just went out for a walk." ”

Shen Zhiping smiled slightly, his hanging heart was completely put down, Shen Zhiping gently patted Li Zifeng's arm, looked at Shen Hongfei's embarrassed face again, and quipped, "If you don't come back, Shen Gongzi is afraid that he will have to turn over the entire Wei'an City." Do you say yes, Shen Gongzi?"

The corners of Li Zifeng's mouth rose slightly, "What Brother Shen said in the afternoon was like a heavy punch that woke me up, and I really shouldn't dodge." When Li Zifeng said this, there was no fluctuation in his tone.

Shen Hongfei looked at Li Zifeng like this, and his heart was at a loss, and he asked curtly, "Don't you blame me for talking too much..."

Li Zifeng sighed, "It's too emotional for me to let Li Zhi go, so I'll see you this afternoon... After the head of the house, I took Piaoyun to the Tianhe Teahouse and found out something. ”

Shen Zhiping raised his brows slightly, and helped Li Zifeng to walk to the round table and sit down, "But there's a movement over there?"

Li Zifeng took the white water handed over by Shen Hongfei, smiled lightly and said, "This Steward Li is really not simple, he easily took over a big business!"

"Big business, he won't really connect with Chang Ning, the guard of the Qingping Palace, right?" Shen Hongfei took a glass of water and drank it sullenly, "This old guy, I saw that he was not a fuel-efficient lamp." ”

"In the afternoon, I was just guessing, so in the evening, I took advantage of the darkness to explore the backyard of the Tianhe Teahouse, and found that Li Zhi was connected with a man in black, and it was the guards of the Qingping Palace. It is said that in five days, a group of capable young men will be transferred from the Shadow Mountain Villa to guard a batch of goods. ”

"Where is the pick-up location, is it also at the Tianhe Teahouse?"

Li Zifeng shook his head, "I don't know much, everything will not be known until five days later, but I think that by following this clue, I may find the missing people, as well as Qingyun." It's just..."

Shen Zhiping continued, "It's just that this matter is too dangerous, the purpose of King Qingping's move is not clear, and what exactly is that shipment, there are so many people under him, why do you call the people who were temporarily arrested?" 186 Chinese.com

Li Zifeng's expression was awe-inspiring, he suddenly remembered the title of 'black-eyed man', and it was spread by the common people like this, I am afraid that Lingye Palace and Qingping Wangfu have heard of it, is this move to lure him into the bait? But if this is the case, then their move is too much fanfare.

Several people looked at each other silently with solemn faces, and the flames on the candlestick were burning with a bit of dazzling.

It was getting late, the lights of the entire inn were almost extinguished, and in the dead of night, only in the backyard, hidden among the dense branches and leaves, chirped tirelessly.

There is also a companion to it, is the light in Li Zifeng's wing, the candle flame burns endlessly, illuminating every corner of the room, but Li Zifeng's eyes are still dark, he can't see the direction, and he will not be affected by the light from the outside world, except for a slight tingling.

An inaudible sigh came from outside, Li Zifeng tilted his ears slightly, stood up and groped his way to the door and opened the door, outside the door was Shen Zhiping, who he was most familiar with, "Uncle?"

"Hmm..."Shen Zhiping nodded, "I saw that the light in your room was always on, so you must have something on your mind and couldn't sleep, so I came to see you." ”

Li Zifeng silently let Shen Zhiping into the room, and the two of them sat facing each other, and after a long silence, Li Zifeng asked, "Uncle Shi, do you have something to say to your disciple?"

Shen Zhiping pondered for a while, "Shen Gongzi and they were present just now, and it is inconvenient for me to ask you some things." ”

Li Zifeng's heart tightened, "If Uncle Shi has something to say, just ask, the disciple must ......."

Before the words landed, he was interrupted by Shen Zhiping, "Zifeng, you don't have to be like this in front of me, relax." ”

Although Li Zifeng's eyes were covered by a black cloth and he couldn't see his eyes, it was not difficult for him to see that since Li Zifeng came back, the whole person's mood was a little bad.

Li Zifeng waited quietly, waiting for Shen Zhiping's next words, Shen Zhiping continued to ask, "Some roads are quite thorny and bumpy, even if you walk over, you will be covered in bruises, do you really think about it?"

Li Zifeng's body was shocked, and he was silent for a long time, and then sighed slightly, "One step back is the abyss, and one step back is the abyss, and the disciple has no choice." ”

Li Zifeng, who Shen Zhiping has always stared at, is stubborn from his bones, Ouyang Ze also said that he occasionally likes to drill the tip of the horns, he just smiled and didn't take it to heart, but now it seems that this is indeed the case, Hongyuan Villa is a dead knot in his heart.

Li Zifeng silently took out a jade pendant from his body, and the dragon and phoenix jade pendant given to him by Emperor Zhu Xingzhan handed it to Shen Zhiping, who was obviously shocked after holding it in his hand. After being in a high position in Qingsong Hall for many years, he understood the meaning of this jade pendant.

It's just that the high-ranking Ninety-Five Venerable, how can he easily give this dragon and phoenix jade pendant that represents power to others? Shen Zhiping's expression became more and more solemn.

Shen Zhiping looked at it for a while, and then returned it to Li Zifeng, Li Zifeng took it in his hand and groped carefully, as if he felt the heaviness and coldness of the jade pendant again, "Uncle Shi, in fact, the disciples all understand." ”

Shen Zhiping sighed, "You really decided on your actions in five days?"

"Uncle Shi has to believe in the disciples. Li Zifeng pretended to smile lightly, "This is the only chance, if you don't enter the tiger's den, you can catch some other prey?"

Li Zifeng's joke opened a gap in the heavy night, and Shen Zhiping was stunned.

At this time, there was a knock on the door, and after receiving the answer, the person who knocked on the door hurriedly entered and saluted the two, who was the shadow attendant sent by Shen Zhiping to secretly stare at Li Zhi.

The shadow attendant has always maintained a bowing posture, "Li Zhi has already left the backyard of the Tianhe Teahouse before the half-pillar incense, and the other shadow attendants have already followed. ”
