Chapter 59: Face Saint

The imperial physician Shan Yinyun changed the medicine for the wound on Li Zifeng's abdomen, and Shang Pingrong instructed the jailers to tidy up Li Zifeng, changed into a clean gray-blue prison uniform, put on the shackles again, and was escorted to meet Emperor Zhu Xingzhan.

Zhu Xingzhan came to Xingwei Mansion in person and was drinking tea in the spacious and bright inner hall. The iron chain slashed across the ground, making a dull gurgling sound, which made Zhu Xingzhan's brows tighten and put down the teacup in his hand.

Li Zifeng knelt on his knees and kowtowed, and Shang Pingrong, who was standing aside, replied, "Your Majesty, the prisoner is here." ”

Zhu Xingzhan waved his hand and motioned for Shang Pingrong to step aside, and then, Zhu Xingzhan stared at Li Zifeng carefully, looking at the state, it seemed to be much more haggard than before, Li Zifeng also looked at Zhu Xingzhan, his face did not fluctuate in the slightest.

"I didn't expect you and me to meet again in such a place, what's it like?

"Back to Your Majesty, everything is fine with Zifeng, except for eating and sleeping every day, it is also comfortable. Li Zifeng said in a hoarse voice, fearlessly facing Zhu Xingzhan's scrutinizing gaze, "You can also be at ease." ”

Zhu Xingzhan's face suddenly became gloomy, Shang Pingrong was stunned for a long time, he didn't expect Li Zifeng to say such a crime, he came back to his senses and slapped him, and scolded angrily, "Presumptuous!

Li Zifeng was suddenly knocked to the ground, and the wound was touched again, and he couldn't stand up straight for a long time, and two strong jailers stepped forward, dragged him up brutally, and held him to his knees. Li Zifeng's face was red, swollen and congested, and the corners of his mouth were also oozing blood, which showed that Shang Pingrong used a lot of force.

Zhu Xingzhan didn't have the slightest kindness when he met Li Zifeng the first few times, and after taking a sip of the teacup, he gently said two words, "Palm." The voice was soft, like a good morning greeting.

The jailer got the order, and slapped Li Zifeng unceremoniously, the crackling sound was endless, and after half a cup of tea, Zhu Xingzhan ordered to stop. At this time, Li Zifeng's cheeks were already red, swollen and bruised, and blood was overflowing from his mouth and nose.

Li Zifeng's gaze was still calm, and his emotions seemed to fluctuate in the slightest, but there was water in his eyes. Zhu Xingzhan looked at it, frowned slightly, and then sighed slightly, and then ordered Shang Pingrong to take the jailer to exit first.

The moment the door closed behind him, two lines of clear tears slipped down the corners of Li Zifeng's eyes, and together with the blood flowing out, they melted into the collar, Zhu Xingzhan stared at him with an inexplicable expression, "Wronged?"

"Zifeng is just a traitor who tries to rebel in your eyes, and he doesn't dare to be wronged. For a moment, Li Zifeng hated Zhu Xingzhan in his heart, if it weren't for Zhu Xingzhan to set up an ambush for himself, perhaps, Xu Weixiang and those secret guards would not have died, but for the benefit of the Hengshan faction, he could only force himself to understand Zhu Xingzhan's behavior.

"Temper is quite strong. Zhu Xingzhan laughed angrily, "It's a good thing to be vigorous and resolute, and there is no harm in being capable." But it's better to be sleek, sometimes the edges and corners are too hard, and it will hurt yourself. ”

Li Zifeng was slightly surprised, and when he looked at Zhu Xingzhan, he saw that Zhu Xingzhan had returned to his unfathomable expression.

Zhu Xingzhan didn't wait for Li Zifeng to reply for a long time, and a trace of sorrow flashed between his eyebrows, "You don't want to explain your behavior at the foot of Shi Qingshan that night?"

Li Zifeng lowered his eyes, "The details of the incident that night, when Zifeng was interrogated, were all included in the confession in the form of dictation, and Zifeng has no other excuse." ”

"What about killing the royal guards?" you can't justify?" Zhu Xingzhan's tone was tinged with a slight chill.

Li Zifeng was stunned, opened his mouth and wanted to say something, but was interrupted by Zhu Xingzhan waving his hand, "Don't tell me anything about Hongyuan Villa and Lingye Palace." According to the report, someone saw with their own eyes that night, among the killers who killed the guards of the pro-soldiers, one of them was using the sword technique of the Hengshan faction, and later this person disappeared from the dense forest on the north side. ”

Li Zifeng's eyes tightened, and he was the one who used the swordsmanship of the Hengshan faction, since the death of the eagle falcon who pretended to be the deacon elder Xiang Feng and Xiang Hong, the deputy hall master of the Foreign Affairs Hall of the Lingye Palace, the Hengshan faction has never been in trouble. And how is this person ......

Zhu Xingzhan's scrutinizing gaze firmly locked on Li Zifeng, and continued to ask, "Should I say that you are trying to do wrong, or should I say that he Ouyang Ze is not supervising well or has different intentions?"

Li Zifeng gasped and raised his head to meet Zhu Xingzhan's gaze, Zhu Xingzhan's words were heart-wrenching, but his eyes were not filled with a trace of killing intent, and he didn't even capture the sharp and gloomy color. Li Zifeng pondered for a moment, thinking back to all the things that had happened since he entered Wei'an City, and had a bold guess in his heart.

After a long time, Li Zifeng looked at Zhu Xingzhan tentatively and asked, "Your Majesty, forgive Zifeng for speaking bluntly." From the moment Zi Feng entered Wei'an City, Zi Feng was a chess piece in your hand, which could control the master of the sect and be discarded by you. ”

Zhu Xingzhan stared at Li Zifeng tightly, and said with a smile, "If you speculate on my intentions, you are going to lose your head." ”

Li Zifeng knelt up straight, waiting for Zhu Xingzhan's next words, Zhu Xingzhan was silent for a while, drank a cup of tea casually, and said in a deep voice, "Li Zifeng, even if you are not afraid of death, you must consider the Hengshan faction behind you, after all, you are the chief disciple, and your words and deeds represent the Hengshan faction." ”

Zhu Xingzhan's plausible answer confirmed Li Zifeng's doubts a little, Li Zifeng wiped the blood from the corners of his mouth, and said, "Zifeng dares to ask Your Majesty, is the promise you made before?"

"Of course, I, Chrysostom. Zhu Xingzhan paused word by word, and he made a loud sound.

Li Zifeng breathed a sigh of relief, thought for a while and said, "Then please protect the Hengshan faction and protect the famous and decent families." They are the most effective helpers in eradicating the Lingye Palace. ”

"Li Zifeng, you have thought about it, I only promise once. Zhu Xingzhan raised his eyebrows, as if he had a deep meaning, "If you save the others, you won't have a chance." ”

"Zi Feng is now in your hands, if you want to kill or obey your will, Zi Feng doesn't dare to frown. Li Zifeng paused, "Your Majesty, haven't you also ordered Zifeng to be imprisoned and beheaded?"

Zhu Xingzhan smiled deeply, "Talking to smart people is worry-free." ”

Shang Pingrong was guarding the outside with two jailers, and the three of them exited the door for a whole hour, and he couldn't hear what was said intermittently, so he could only wait anxiously.

After two breaths, Zhu Xingzhan in the room shouted, 'Someone!'.

Shang Pingrong led people in as if he had been amnestied, walked up to Zhu Xingzhan and bowed, "Your Majesty." ”

Zhu Xingzhan glanced at Li Zifeng again, his face was cloudy, "Transfer Li Zifeng to death row and wait for beheading!"

Shang Pingrong was stunned, and hurriedly received the order, "Obey the order." ”
