In Shang Qingyuan's study, the sun was warm, and the soothing and painful herbs burned in the furnace again, and Li Zifeng only found out at this time that the smell of herbs smelled so comfortable.

But he was not in the mood to enjoy it, and the pain in his legs and knees reminded him of the time to kneel, yes, he had been kneeling here for three full hours, and at first he was still in the mood to silently count the number of books on the shelves in his heart, but after twenty times, he was no longer in the mood.

Since rushing back to the mountain in the morning, he went straight to Shang Qingyuan to resume his life, Ouyang Ze made corresponding arrangements according to the situation after hearing this, especially the library pavilion, and made a tighter defense, but when Li Zifeng wanted to know more about Ouyang Ze and the festival of Hongyuan Villa, Ouyang Ze immediately changed his face, Li Zifeng knew that he had said the wrong thing, so he knelt on the ground and asked for punishment, but Ouyang Ze ignored him, just flipped through the official document casually, and until now, he has not said a word to him.

He wanted to move his numb knees in order to allow blood and qi to circulate, but this small action could not escape Ouyang Ze's eyes, Ouyang Ze sighed, "Can't kneel?"

Li Zifeng knelt down again and lowered his head slightly, "The disciple doesn't dare." ”

"Don't dare?" Ouyang Ze laughed angrily, "Repatriate some of the secret guards stationed in the city without authorization, and fight the protectors and dead soldiers of the Lingye Palace alone." Knowing that it is a taboo, I want to mention it repeatedly, what else would the senior brother not dare?"

When Li Zifeng heard the title of 'Senior Brother' shouting out from Ouyang Ze's mouth, he couldn't stop trembling all over, and instantly felt that his heartbeat skipped a beat, and cold sweat flowed down, "Disciple knows his mistake." But this thing ......"

Ouyang Ze frowned, and didn't want to say more, so he said coldly, "Go out, kneel on the gravel road!"

"Master!"

"Don't let the teacher ask someone to drag you out. ”

Although it was noon and the sun was abundant, it still couldn't resist the invasion of the autumn wind, the cold wind gusted, Li Zifeng couldn't help shivering, wrapped the thin coat on his body, endured the dull pain from his knees, and occasionally a disciple passing by simply saluted Li Zifeng, and left in a hurry.

Li Zifeng suddenly regretted a little, whether it was because of the words Tian Kun said before he died, or because of his own selfishness, he shouldn't mention anything about the disaster fifteen years ago, if you want to find out the truth, there are ways......

Another two hours passed, the sun gradually set in the west, the light dimmed significantly, the autumn wind became more violent, blowing on his face like a knife, Li Zifeng tried his best to control the trembling of his body, and held back the mist that slowly covered his eyes.

At this time, there was a sound of footsteps behind him, Li Zifeng suddenly came back to his senses, and the dark purple coat with auspicious clouds embroidered edges raised his head slightly, still steadied and saluted, "Elder solemn." ”

Hai Yi's brows tightened, and a trace of unbearability flashed in his eyes, "Why bother? After following the head of the house for so many years, what to ask and what not to ask, don't you know?"

Li Zifeng knelt firmly, his nose sour, "The disciple knows his mistake." ”

Hai Yi was stunned, he obviously heard that the person kneeling in front of him was breathing sluggishly, and his face was pale, and he was afraid that he wouldn't be able to hold on for too long. Thinking of this, he didn't pay attention to it anymore and went straight to the study.

In the study, Ouyang Ze looked at the direction of the window attentively, his eyes were red, and the past that had been buried in his heart for fifteen years had been mentioned again and again, intentionally or unintentionally, as painful as a healed wound being uncovered again.

"Still angry?"

A voice cut through his musings, "Senior brother?"

Haiyi saluted according to the rules, the two sat opposite each other, and after the waiter served tea, he quietly retreated.

The heat was steaming, the fragrance of tea was overflowing, and he couldn't cover his hot and cold hands, Hai Yi looked out the window intentionally or unintentionally, "Even if you have a lot of anger in your heart, it should be gone, right?"

Ouyang Ze looked with Haiyi's eyes, and suddenly remembered the apprentice who had been hanging out of the door by him for several hours, seeing that the sky was dark, and the courtyard and study were in charge, he was inevitably worried, and he got up and was about to go out, at this time, an attendant disciple hurriedly entered, "Master, Elder Solemn, Senior Brother has fainted!"

In the inner room of the Dan room, there are all kinds of bottles and cans, large and small medicine boxes, the smell of medicine fills the nose, Li Zifeng lazily half leaned on the bed, and let the elder of the medicine pill Ming Su apply the ointment to his already red and swollen knees, the faint smell of medicine, and the fiery knees alleviated the fatigue of the whole body, but Li Zifeng couldn't lift his spirits at this time.

After Mingsu finished taking the medicine, he looked at Li Zifeng's depressed appearance, "You have a good rest first, don't think so much about it first." ”

"He can rest well, don't do what he thinks, I would like to believe that Lao Niu can understand the sound of the piano. ”

The unhurried voice came, it was Lu Shiqing, Lu Shiqing saw that Li Zifeng was about to get up and salute, and he pressed back with a look, "The old disease hasn't been cured yet?"

"Uncle Shi..."

Lu Shiqing smiled, "If what I expected is right, you want to defend the library in person next step, right?"

Li Zifeng's heart tightened, he suddenly felt that Lu Shiqing was not an immortal, "Disciple ......"

"Hey, stop. Ming Su neatly packed up the medicine box, "If you have anything to say, I'll wait until I'm away, I don't want to know anything." With that, he hurried out of the room.

Watching Ming Su leave the room like an escape, Li Zifeng couldn't help but smile, and Lu Shiqing shook his head helplessly.

At this time, Li Zifeng's mind once again flashed Tian Kun's dying sentence 'ruined and discredited', and then he sat up straight suddenly, frowning. hurriedly greeted Lu Shiqing and got up to leave.

The autumn wind is bleak, the cold night is like ice, the dry branches sway with the wind, making a 'whoosh' sound, Li Zifeng hurriedly ran to the direction of the library pavilion, seeing a black shadow sweeping aside, Li Zifeng suddenly tiptoe lightly, towards the direction of the black shadow escape, the black shadow's light skills are not inferior to him, the two chased and fled, chased to the vicinity of the library pavilion, the black shadow disappeared, surprised, the dark guards came out together, "Senior brother, what's wrong?"

Li Zifeng looked up at the plaque in the library pavilion, "Do you see anyone entering?"

"Nope. ”

Li Zifeng secretly sighed that the man in black was doing a good job, and at this time, the black shadow flashed from behind him again, and before Li Zifeng could say anything, the dark guard had already chased after him.

In the library pavilion, several guards on duty in the inner room only felt that the cold light flashed, and their throats had been cut by sharp weapons, and they died of anger, and their bodies fell to the ground, and the man in black roared to a dark shadow in the dark, "Didn't you say that you won't kill people?"

The dark shadow smiled faintly, "If you don't kill someone, how can you get in smoothly?" I'll help you shake off your tail outside." ”

Time was pressing, the man in black no longer argued with him, found the door, dodged the arrows that flew one by one, entered the inner hall, lit a fire, touched the dark grid with the faint light, opened the mechanism, a seal jumped into view, and when he was about to take it out, stones shot from behind and hit his hand.

The oil lamps on the walls of the inner hall lit one by one, and the sudden light pierced the eyes and could not open them.

"Your Excellency is visiting late at night, why are you doing so?"

Adjusting to the light, the man in black turned around and looked at it, and recognized at a glance that it was the person who was chasing him just now, and it was an old acquaintance, "I didn't expect that the shadow just now didn't get rid of you." ”

Li Zifeng sneered, "How can a dignified person let the shadow play with?"

After hearing this, the black shadow man suddenly felt a little irritable in his heart, seeing that the bookshelves were dazzling, and he was even more angry in his heart, but at this moment, he suddenly rolled his eyes, suddenly stopped his steps, and slammed the internal force to the side, just like that, the bookshelf suddenly fell into a ball, Li Zifeng dodged one by one, and stepped forward to hand him over......

Outside, the dark guard on duty chased the other two black-clothed men, and then fought with them, but in just a few moves, the black-clothed masked man was kicked to the ground by the dark guard and fainted. The dark guard stepped forward to check, uncovered his face scarf, and frowned, always feeling that something was wrong, "Not good." ”

At this moment, a black shadow flew by, and the dark guards divided into two ways, two went to chase the black shadow, and two immediately returned to the library to investigate the situation.

In the library pavilion, Li Zifeng and the man in black came down for a few rounds, on par, no one took advantage, at this time, the man in black appeared in front of him out of nowhere, and then a palm attacked, this time it came suddenly, Li Zifeng did not have the slightest time to react, so he had to passively catch up, but it was too late, and the opponent used full strength.

'Bang'... Li Zifeng flew up like a kite with a broken string, slammed into a mahogany pillar hard, hit the back of his head particularly badly, and then fell down, his forehead hit the corner of the stone table straight up, and then he fell to the ground heavily, a mouthful of blood spurted out, his forehead was bleeding, and his eyes were black.

Suddenly, the memories of his childhood poured into his brain like a tide, Li Zifeng barely stood up, indifferently watching the man in black gradually approaching with a short knife in his hand, raising his hand to wipe the blood from the corner of his mouth.

The man in black thought that it was not suitable to stay here for a long time, and he didn't want to give up, so he went straight to the open dark grid, Li Zifeng saw this, and tried his best to knock over the hand of the man in black. The man in black pulled out a short knife, but was unexpectedly grabbed by the person in front of him with his bare hands, and slashed his arm and abdomen with his backhand, and blood gushed out. During the fight, the masked cloth of the man in black was knocked off, and the four eyes were facing each other, Li Zifeng was stunned, but more painful, and two lines of clear tears slowly flowed.

The man in black was obviously stunned, surprised where his emotions came from, could it be that he was beaten stupid? But he was anxious to get rid of Li Zifeng's entanglement, and inadvertently dragged off the purse on Li Zifeng's waist during the dispute, but at a glance, he was stung by a delicately embroidered maple leaf above, thinking of the emotions of the person in front of him just now and the feeling when he first saw him, he faded his indifferent look, with disbelief, and even choked up in his tone, "Is it you? Still alive?"

"This son, you have recognized the wrong person. Li Zifeng bracked up his spirits, his right hand inertly supported the stone table on the side, and a resolute sneer appeared on his pale face, "Kill me! In this world... You've got another enemy. ”

The man in black lost control of his emotions, grabbed Li Zifeng's collar angrily, looked at his blood-covered face, and burst into tears, "If I recognized the wrong person, then why were you crying just now?!"

The sound of fighting at night spread everywhere, and the other disciples were also awakened, and some of the secret guards who had been lured away also rushed back. The chaotic footsteps interrupted the mood of the man in black, he no longer hesitated, let go of Li Zifeng, and one flew away, disappearing, leaving drops of blood on the ground.

"Big brother!"

When Xu Zining arrived with the deacon disciples, Li Zifeng was already sitting limply in the corner of the wall, his face covered in blood. Li Zifeng leaned weakly on Xu Zining's body, gasped heavily, and pointed to the dark grid and said to the secret guard, "The defense map and seal... All... Safe and sound, Assassin... There are injuries on the body... Focus on the search in the back mountains...", as he spoke, a mouthful of blood gushed out again, unconscious.
