Hengshan faction

Dark clouds covered a large area of the sky, even if it was noon, the light in the council hall was really darker, the old master Ouyang Tian and all the elders gathered together, everyone's faces were very solemn.

Good things don't go out, bad things spread thousands of miles, the news that Li Zifeng was arrested and imprisoned spread in the sect, some worried, some regretful, some don't care, some people who put interests first are worried about whether they will be affected, and even threatened to leave the sect.

Ouyang Tian held a bulging envelope in his hand, and his face was a little gloomy and frightening in the face of the elders who had their own concerns, "These days, the sect is a lot more lively. ”

Haiyi's expression tightened, and he quickly stood up and replied, "Master, it's the disciple's poor supervision......

"Needless to say, suppressing the unhealthy tendencies of the sect is the key. Ouyang Ze said, looking at the Elder of the Law Ring Yan Cheng intentionally or unintentionally, "Did you say yes?"

Yan Cheng was stunned, and he also stood up and wanted to say something, but was interrupted by Ouyang Tian, "Sit down!"

"The disciples are young and ignorant, and it is inevitable that they will love to pass on some words to each other, so you can discipline them. This time it was Li Zifeng's negligence. At this time, Elder Huaishan, an elder of the Foreign Affairs Hall, who was just in time to return to the mountain, said.

Sun Hexu is a disciple of the elder deacon of the previous generation, forty years old and five, he seems to be easy-going, but in fact he is too impersonal, and he is old-fashioned and has no eyebrows.

At that time, when Ouyang Ze accepted Li Zifeng as an apprentice, he was saying good things on the surface, but in fact he was the most opposed. Just because of his strong ability to do things, he was transferred by Ouyang Ze to work in the Foreign Affairs Hall to assist Shang Huaifeng in taking charge of the party.

Yan Cheng continued with Sun Hexu's words, "Li Zifeng is not doing things effectively, and now his life is also exposed, and now I am afraid that he will implicate the innocent again." Senior brother in charge, why bother?"

Ouyang Tian gave a sharp look to stop the other elders who wanted to speak, and bowed the bulging envelope in his hand in front of everyone, "This is a joint letter from a total of twenty-two heads of the various sects who were rescued at the foot of Shi Qingshan that night, which describes in detail everything that happened that night, as well as expressing gratitude to Li Zifeng, the chief disciple of this sect. ”

Yan Cheng lowered his head slightly, avoiding Ouyang Tian's questioning gaze, but Ouyang Tian deliberately ignored him and continued, "Do you want to take a look?" A simple sentence that encapsulated Li Zifeng's righteous act that night.

Sun Hexu, who was still full of energy just now, was silent at this time. Ouyang Tian slapped the envelope heavily on the table, and the items on the table also trembled, and the voice was extremely harsh in the council hall, and several elders couldn't sit still, so they all stood up in unison, waiting for Ouyang Tian's words.

Ouyang Tian continued, "Zifeng is in prison, the head of the sect is worried about it, the second disciple Xu Zining, and the third disciple Zhou Wenxian are busy arranging the relevant matters after the evacuation of the heads of the sect at this time. As he spoke, Ouyang Tian looked at Sun Hexu and Yan Cheng again, "And what did the four disciples He Yukun and the disciples of the Foreign Affairs Hall do who went together?"

The hall was silent, so quiet that there was only the sound of breathing, Ouyang Tian also stood up, pointed to the letter in his hand and said, "The letter also mentioned that several heads of the family said that they could come forward to testify for Li Zifeng at any time in order to express their gratitude. Just because of the tense situation, they were rejected by the head one by one, and they will be dealt with separately when the matter has room for change. ”

"The head of the expatriate is still like this, but you, as the elders of your own family, don't think about how to suppress the rumors, don't think about how to solve the problem, but you sit here calmly and say what 'life experience, ineffective work'?"

Hai Yi stood up and bowed slightly, "It's the disciple who is not doing things well, and the disciple must strictly investigate the source of the rumors." Completely solve the unhealthy tendencies of the sect. As he spoke, he looked at Yan Cheng, hoping that he would take the initiative to speak.

It was uncomfortable to be named in public, but now Hai Yi's eyes were solemn and sincere, and he understood this meaning, and then he also stood up, "Fang is the disciple's speech, and the disciple must strictly restrain the disciples." ”

Ouyang Tian breathed a sigh of relief, "As an elder, every word and every action represents the Hengshan faction, and the importance of this must be well remembered by you when you succeed you." ”

"Yes. ”

The elders performed their duties, and after deliberation and discussion, they arranged their follow-up matters and prepared for battle. Half an hour later, the elders dispersed, and when Hai Yi stepped out of the threshold, he was stopped by Ouyang Tian.

The two silently, one after the other, entered the inner hall of the council hall, Ouyang Tian's expression was solemn, and before Hai Yi could speak, he took out a letter and handed it to Hai Yi.

The letter was written by Ouyang Ze himself, and it was sent back together with the joint letter. The letter roughly stated the situation in Wei'an City and Li Zifeng's situation. When he saw the words 'imprisoned and awaiting beheading', Hai Yi's heart was shocked.

Hai Yi squeezed the letter tightly in his hand, breathed steadily, and said, "Before saying that the evidence is conclusive, he said that he would be imprisoned and awaiting beheading, does the emperor not want the matter to expand, or is there something else hidden?"

This is exactly what the old man wondered. Ouyang Tian frowned slightly.

Hai Yi was about to say that Ouyang Ze's situation was very dangerous, but after thinking about it, it was not quite right, if it was really dangerous, with the emperor's eyes, how could he let these two letters be sent back unharmed? Hai Yi thought for a moment and thought of a possibility.

"The fact that the date of questioning and killing has not yet been decided proves that there is still a turning point. Ouyang Tian's deep eyes looked out the window, he was the old master of the Hengshan faction, everything was about the safety of the martial arts, and the interests of the Hengshan faction were the first, some words, some things, even if he wanted to say and do, he couldn't show it on the bright side.

Hai Yi seemed to understand what Ouyang Tian meant, and arched his hand and said, "Master rest assured, the disciple will secretly send someone to make all preparations to ensure that the head of the sect will bring Zifeng back safely." ”

The cold wind outside the window exhaled, blowing down a large number of dead leaves, and the 'rustling' sound of the broom sweeping by the attendant disciples was endless, Ouyang Tian looked at it and sighed silently, "Winter is coming." ”

Wei'an City, Xingwei Mansion Prison

The dim and claustrophobic environment seemed to have no end, and the corridor outside was full of the jailer's cursing and impatient pushing, Li Zifeng sat on the small straw pile by the wall, eating the steamed buns and eggs that were brutally thrown in by the jailer.

His eyes fell on the wall where he had carved the vertical path, five vertical paths, which meant that he had been in prison for five days, but only the days after waking up. He didn't know how long he would stay here, and he didn't know if what was waiting for him would really be beheaded. When he was bored, he would pull the chains that bound his hands and feet.

A few days ago, he had been immersed in the grief of his secret guards and Xu Weixiang's death, and it was not until he saw Wan Ziyu being taken down and brought back through the prison door that he awakened the fighting spirit in his heart that was temporarily extinguished.

He couldn't just sit still, he finished eating steamed bread and eggs, drank two mouthfuls of gruel casually, and hurriedly got up and ran to the prison door, pulling the iron chain on his body and making a noise. The action was too fast, affecting the abdominal wound, Li Zifeng gasped, and after relieving for a while, he slapped the cell door, shaking the chains on the cell door.

"What's the noise?!Don't you want to toss?!" A jailer impatiently walked to the cell door and looked at him, "It's all in this kind of place, and it's not honest!"

Li Zifeng held his breath steady, "Please help me get through, I want to eat wonton sauce beef and kelp shreds, made by Cai's snack shop."

"Hey, that's all. The jailer sneered, "Do you think this is an inn or your house?"

"Isn't it just a meal? Let him be! It's not going to be a few days anyway. Shang Pingrong, who was passing by, glanced at the jailer and ordered, "You take care of it here, and I'll do it." After speaking, Shang Pingrong glanced at Li Zifeng meaningfully, and then turned to leave.

Shang Pingrong complied with the order and reported Li Zifeng's every move to Zhu Xingzhan, but Zhu Xingzhan frowned impatiently, "This kind of thing is also to ask me, go and do it!"

"Yes!"
