Chapter 68: The Night Is Coming

The sound of horses' hooves was particularly piercing in the gradually silent night, and a man in black rode a black-headed horse across Skylark Street, setting off a cool breeze and heading straight for the city gate.

When he arrived at the gate of the city, he was unsurprisingly intercepted by the guards guarding the city, "What kind of person?! How dare you ride a horse in the city of Wei'an? and still don't stop?" The voice of the gate guard was a little impatient.

'Huh!', a whistle, the horse stopped, but the man in black on the horse did not come down, Wang Yi took a few officers and soldiers, holding a torch to approach, the figure in black was stable, his brows were slightly furrowed, his cold eyes stared at the officers and soldiers who were checking around, and the hand holding the reins did not loosen in the slightest, let alone dismount to explain a thing or two.

Wang Yi stepped forward to check, stared at the man in black and said, "Who are you?

The man in black just glanced at him coldly, and asked in a deep voice, "Wang Yi, the commander of the Prison Gate Army?"

Wang Yi was stunned for a moment, and was about to continue to ask something, when there was a token in front of him, it was the token of the Yikun Palace, seeing this token, if he saw Zhu Xingyi, the prince of Yikun, no one could stop it, and this token could only be worn by Zhu Xingyi's personal guard Ning Shi, and he would never leave his body.

"Are you a Ning guard?" Wang Yi hurriedly knelt down on one knee and pleaded guilty, "There are many offences in ...... lowly position."

"It's okay, just recognize me. The man in black withdrew the token and said coldly, "The prince has an urgent matter to send me to do, if the king commander is not at ease, he can send someone to follow, and when he comes back, I will also return to the prince one by one." ”

Cold sweat oozed from Wang Yi's forehead, and he said in a loud voice, "Don't dare, even if the prince has something urgent to do, it is inconvenient to stop him from his humble position." With that, Wang Yi stood up and said to the subordinates beside him, "Don't open the city gate yet?!"

'Squeak!', the heavy city gate opened, and by the bleak moonlight, two black shadows were drawn on the ground, and Ning Shi pulled the reins and rode away.

Wang Yi looked at Ning Shi's back from behind, his original humility had long since faded, and he changed to a dignified look, he waved his hand and beckoned one of his subordinates to order, "Go quickly and pass through King Qingping." ”

"Yes!" the officers and soldiers defending the city were ordered to retreat, and after a few moments, there were bursts of pigeon cooing from above.

The city gate closed behind him, and soon there was the sound of pigeons, and the corners of Ning Shi's mouth showed a deep smile.

In a secret room on the inside of the study of Yikun Palace, the lights are bright, the tables and chairs are no different from the study, Zhu Xingyi holds a delicate tea cup in his hand, and tastes tea with great interest, like a behind-the-scenes layout.

"Lord Wang. A calm and powerful voice sounded in Zhu Xingyi's ears, Zhu Xingyi's personal guard Ning Shi!

Zhu Xingyi looked sideways and said lightly, "It seems that Li Zifeng has successfully attracted Zhu Luofeng's eyes." ”

Ning Shi still maintained the posture of bowing, but his face showed a little worry, "That Li Zifeng, are you really relieved? If he makes a mistake, we will fall short, and the safety of Your Majesty's side is ......."

"Ben Wang believes that he can still play the role of bait. I believe that His Majesty's vision of people will not be wrong. Zhu Xingyi pinched the lid of the teacup and knocked on the table regularly, "As for life or death, it all depends on his creation." ”

"Yes. Regarding the master's thoughts and decisions, Ning Shi didn't want to ask any more, "I'll go to the other courtyard here." ”

"Good. Zhu Xingyi responded gently, and Ning Shi disappeared in a flash.

After a long time, Zhu Xingyi put down the lid of the cup and looked at the half-empty tea cup opposite, which was left over from Li Zifeng's drinking, and the tea seemed to be steaming......

Zhu Xingyi didn't say a word, and let his guards brutally kidnap Li Zifeng into the secret room of the Yikun Palace. The delicate gilt lamp emits a soft light, and the good West Lake Longjing exudes bursts of aroma, which is clearly the standard for receiving distinguished guests, Li Zifeng once thought that Zhu Xingyi was idle and casually found someone to drink tea and chat.

Li Zifeng and Zhu Xingyi sat opposite each other, and under Zhu Xingyi's nod, he picked up the teacup and took a sip of fragrant tea, "Thank you for your face, I have been in the prison of Xingwei Mansion for a long time, and I have never drunk a sip of water." ”

Zhu Xingyi looked at him expressionlessly, "Don't you ask why this king arrested you in?"

"Why?" Li Zifeng thought for a moment and said half-jokingly, "Could it be that Zifeng has unknowingly moved the interests of some people in the court, so that you robbed Zifeng into the secret room and killed him?"

Zhu Xingyi's face sank suddenly, and his eyebrows were full of gloom, "This kind of dirty thing, this king doesn't bother to do it." If this king wants to kill you, he will find a reasonable reason. For example, holding the king's sedan chair hostage in an attempt to fool the inspection of officers and soldiers. Zhu Xingyi's tone gradually softened, but it was all wrapped in threats.

Li Zifeng raised his eyebrows, casually observing Zhu Xingyi's eyes, although his eyes were full of cold air and gloom, but there was no killing intent, Li Zifeng put down the teacup and laughed at himself, "That's fine." The death row prisoner escaped from prison, and happened to meet the sedan chair of the prince of Yikun and coerced him, and passed the test in confusion. ”

After hearing this, Zhu Xingyi's face softened, "Newborn calves are not afraid of tigers, they are really not afraid of death." ”

Li Zifeng sighed slightly, then stood up and bowed, "Zifeng has no intention of offending the prince." It's just that Zifeng is stupid and doesn't understand what the prince means by this, and he still hopes that the prince will make it clear. ”

"You haven't replied to the king's words, what are you talking about? Do you go out to inquire about the news, or rush to Qingyuan Town to meet Ouyang Ze to make arrangements? This back and forth, to say the least, will take four or five hours, even if you hurry up and get injured and lightly work, it will be difficult to rush back to Xing Weifu in the early morning tomorrow morning, what this king said makes sense?"

Li Zifeng's eyes suddenly tightened, and a little cool air came out of his breath, how did Zhu Xingyi, who had just returned from other places, know about these things? Li Zifeng was in trouble, he couldn't figure out whether the rumored King Yikun was a god or a ghost.

But this thought also flashed in his mind, and Li Zifeng quickly returned to normal, "The prince joked. ”

"Li Gongzi inevitably overestimated himself. Zhu Xingyi regained his expressionless appearance and said in a threatening tone, "It is a big crime to deceive the king, but those who insist on deceiving this king will not live long in this world either." ”

Li Zifeng simply knelt on one knee, "Then please ask the prince to give Zifeng a good time." ”

"Li Zifeng, you opened the eyes of this king. Zhu Xingyi said, casually throwing Li Zifeng a token.

Li Zifeng caught it casually and looked at it carefully, the token was made of pure copper, the word 'order' in the body, the auspicious cloud pattern, and the inscription of the Yikun Palace, at least it was only qualified to be worn by the guards accompanying the palace, Li Zifeng was puzzled, "Zifeng is stupid, and please make it clear to the prince." ”

This is the second time that Li Zifeng has laughed at himself for being 'stupid' in front of Zhu Xingyi.

Zhu Xingyi's eyebrows were deep, "This king has a mansion five miles west of Wei'an City, which seems to be inconspicuous, but there are royal secrets hidden in it, and in a critical moment, they can protect the imperial city." It is said that King Qingping also coveted it for a long time. All you have to do now is disguise yourself as Ning Shi, the king's personal guard, and go there to inspect it. ”

For the first time, Li Zifeng felt that he suddenly couldn't understand what others were saying.

"Wait a minute, Lord Wang. Li Zifeng was not in a hurry, he would not inexplicably act according to other people's instructions.

Li Zifeng thought for a moment and asked tentatively, "Your big name Zifeng has already heard of it, presumably there are not a few elite guards in the mansion, you can just pick out one person to do this kind of task, why bother to find a person like me who is a stranger to you? You are not afraid that I will make a mistake in handling this matter?"

Zhu Xingyi looked at him silently, noncommittal.

Li Zifeng suddenly felt chills all over his body, first someone arranged for him to be temporarily released from prison, and when he was about to be discovered by the officers and soldiers, he happened to be rescued by this prince of Yikun and brought back to the mansion, and he also arranged the task naturally. There is also the mansion five miles west outside Wei'an City, since it is a hidden royal secret, how can it be so easily revealed?

So, he thought of another possibility, "Maybe you have your plan, Zifeng is here to help you get away from King Qingping's eyes." This matter is done, there is nothing to do, if it is not done well, it will be killed. ”

"They all say that you are smart and transparent, and now that I see you, it is true. Zhu Xingyi drank tea leisurely, "Then are you willing to make this bait for this king?"

Li Zifeng suddenly felt that he was trapped in a bureau, which was complicated, and if he took a wrong step, he would be doomed, he raised his head and stared at Zhu Xingyi for a long time, and replied, "The prince's order, Zifeng dare not accept it." ”

That place, which is only a mile away from Shi Qingshan, may be able to take the opportunity to find out some news.

"Good. Zhu Xingyi stroked his beard with satisfaction. [End of memory]

Li Zifeng, who pretended to be Ning Shi, was far away from the city gate, he recognized the direction, and rode all the way on a black horse, the horse's hooves stepped on the fallen leaves, making a rustling sound. The bleak moonlight shone through the dense forest, the dry branches reflected the shadows of teeth and claws on the ground, and the occasional bird hovered and chirped in the sky, which was even more eerie at night.

The horse suddenly stopped and neighed uneasily, Li Zifeng took a deep breath, and sighed in his heart, King Qingping really couldn't hold it back. Before he could observe his surroundings, a killing intent without warning struck him!
