Chapter 11: The Finale

The sky was dawning, the faint morning light passed through the mist, sprinkling a faint light, Li Zifeng woke up, as expected, he didn't see Tian Kun, got up and walked to the window to open the window to breathe, the autumn wind blew, with a bit of coldness.

The door squeaked open, Tian Kun walked in with breakfast, and saw Li Zifeng standing by the window, and saluted in a proper manner, "Senior brother, morning." ”

Li Zifeng came back to his senses, and after washing, he looked at Tian Kun carefully, and didn't find anything wrong, and said lightly, "It's not early." Thank you for your hard work. ”

"It's not hard. Tian Kun replied cautiously and brought breakfast to the table, "Senior brother, did you sleep well last night?"

Li Zifeng's pupils constricted, he didn't expect Tian Kun to ask so directly, and then smiled gently, "I haven't dreamed all night, I haven't slept so soundly for a long time." After that, he picked up the bowl and scooped a spoonful of porridge to his mouth casually, and the sweet smell smelled at this moment, causing abdominal pain for some reason, and he put down the porridge bowl tremblingly and frowned.

"Senior brother, what's wrong with you?" Tian Kun was obviously taken aback by Li Zifeng's reaction.

A trace of cold sweat oozed from Li Zifeng's forehead, and his breathing was a little unsteady, "It's okay, it may be that I had a bad stomach yesterday, you go and help me get some hot water." ”

"Yes. ”

Seeing the door closed, the figure gradually walked away, Li Zifeng immediately returned to normal, and then took out a silver needle from his body and inserted it into the porridge bowl, but the silver needle did not show the slightest sign of blackening, and Li Zifeng's seemingly calm eyes flashed a trace of coldness.

When Tian Kun came back, Li Zifeng was half-leaning on the bed and closing his eyes to recuperate, his face was pale and his head was sweating. Seeing this, Tian Kun poured hot water and walked to the bedside, and called tentatively, "Senior brother?"

Li Zifeng opened his eyes, took the hot water in Tian Kun's hand, the heat was so hot that his eyes were sore, and he drank it slowly, and seemed to feel much better.

"Senior brother, why don't I invite you to Langzhong? ”

"No, I'll just take a break. Li Zifeng wiped the beads of sweat from his forehead, "That's it! You go to Nanyue Fang for me and carefully investigate the surrounding environment and the movement of people, especially the son who intercepted me yesterday." ”

Tian Kun really didn't worry about Li Zifeng alone, and said worriedly, "Then you, why don't you stay with you! If you have an accident, how can I explain to the head and Xu Guard?"

Li Zifeng's eyebrows and eyes were a little deep, but his smile was still gentle, "Don't worry, I'm fine." The task is important. ”

"Then I'll explain to the shopkeeper in a moment, if you have something or something uncomfortable, you can just say it. ”

"Okay, you have a heart. ”

Half a pillar of incense, Tian Kun's figure completely disappeared from the visual range, Li Zifeng sat up straight, got dressed, hid the Qingying Sword, and quickly left the room like the wind.

Heyue Teahouse, Gu Xuan finished breakfast, took a cup of hot tea, stood sideways by the window and observed the situation outside, a breeze suddenly came behind him, he couldn't help but shiver, and then turned around, Li Zifeng was already standing in front of him.

Barely swallowing the tea in his mouth, the teacup in his hand almost fell to the ground, Gu Xuan's eyes widened, and he looked at the person in front of him in surprise. It was still early, the door panel was not removed, the door was closed, he was standing at the window again, and there was no figure outside, he really couldn't understand how Li Zifeng came in quietly.

Li Zifeng looked at Gu Xuan's stunned appearance, and couldn't help but wonder, "Uncle Gu, I'm really sorry, I scared you early in the morning." ”

"Ah..."Gu Xuan didn't seem to come back to his senses yet, "Shaodong, how did you get in?"

"If you want to come in, there is a way. What's the situation over there?" Li Zifeng walked to the window and looked at the Luojia Restaurant, which was diagonally opposite, as quiet as standing water, and the two soldiers guarding the entrance of the restaurant jumped into view.

Gu Xuan opened his mouth and said hesitantly, "Luojia Restaurant seems to be under martial law." ”

"Martial law?

"Last night, it was about the same time. A group of officers and soldiers came and surrounded the place. Anyone entering or leaving the country must be subject to strict checks and searches. ”

"But what boxes are going in and out?"

"You mean those goods, right? Not a single box. One of the officers and soldiers, like the leader, said that he would come to the distinguished guest in half a year, and he should prepare for the investigation in advance, and he didn't even want to bring swords and hidden weapons into it. ”

"Half a year later?" Li Zifeng frowned, and his eyes darkened a little, which was confirmed by the news of the emperor's southern tour. However, making such a big move, it was almost announced that the emperor of the world was coming, could it be ......?

"Young owner?"

"Oh. Later, I'll find a way to go in and have a look. Li Zifeng smiled indifferently, as if he usually greeted whether he had eaten or not, whether his body was healthy, and so on.

Gu Xuan was shocked, "Young Dongjia, don't take any risks, there are many people, in case you are recognized by the spies of the Lingye Palace again." ”

"It doesn't matter. Li Zifeng smiled indifferently, took out a silver ingot from his body and put it on the table, "Uncle Gu, help me buy a set of clothes, the fabric must be good, but the color must be plain, and the pattern must not be fancy." ”

Only then did Gu Xuan understand that Li Zifeng wanted to pretend to be a prince and nobleman to sneak in, but he still didn't feel at ease, "Shaodong..."

"It doesn't matter.

Gu Xuan didn't persuade anymore, and reached out to take the silver, "When do you want it?"

"Two hours later. Also, pick two more clever and tight-tongued guys to follow me. ”

"Yes. You can rest assured. ”

At the beginning of the unitary period, it was the most lively time of the day in Luojia Restaurant, Li Zifeng disguised himself as a dignitary, mixed in with his 'entourage', sat by the window, ordered expensive tea and a few high-quality dishes, and ordered Li Zifeng was distressed, and the cost of this meal was afraid to catch up with the expenses of ordinary two days.

At this time, a familiar figure caught his attention, it was Li Shijie! He went upstairs directly, Li Zifeng frowned, and gave a look to the entourage sitting on the side, and the entourage understood, and immediately followed, who knew that as soon as he stepped up a step, he was stopped by the shopkeeper of the restaurant.

"There are private rooms upstairs, what are you doing as a servant-like person?"

"I'm sorry, I'm in a hurry, can you make it easier?"

"Then you should be sharp, if you disturb the guests in the private room, you are good-looking!"

"Got it, thank you. ”

After a while, the attendant hurriedly went downstairs and whispered in Li Zifeng's ear for a while, and Li Zifeng's expression tightened.

The sky gradually darkened, and in the private room on the second floor, Li Shijie sat at a round table with a man in a black cloak and a man in black, who covered half of his face with a mask.

"This kid can really hide. ”

The masked man took a sip of tea, "I warned you that he was not easy to deal with, but you just didn't listen." ”

The black cloak's voice was a little surprised, "I didn't expect that the right protector of the dignified Lingye Palace was actually a woman." ”

"Talking is becoming more and more unruly. ”

"Alright!" Li Shijie frowned, "I have given up the jade antique and successfully attracted his attention, but you are still wasting time here!"

The black cloak took out a list from his body and handed it over, "This is a detailed list hidden in the Hengshan faction, with such good conditions as a foreshadowing, presumably the young owner will succeed, right?"

Li Shijie snorted coldly, "I don't need you to tell me." ”

Black Cloak continued, "As for Li Zifeng's side, I'll solve it. ”

What they didn't notice was a figure flashing outside.

The sky is like splashing ink, dark and deep, occasionally the cold wind blows, bringing up pieces of fallen leaves on the ground, Li Zifeng returned to the inn, before it closes, the inn is already very deserted, not at all as lively as during the day, only two guys back and forth to clean up the tables, stools and chairs, sweeping the ground, at this time, the fire candle on the countertop shook violently, with a little unease.

Li Zifeng had already smelled the murderous aura in the air, and subconsciously clenched the saber in his hand, and with a faint sound of footsteps, several black-clothed people gradually approached, and the shopkeeper who cleaned up the storefront was gone.

The Qing Ying Sword came out of its sheath, and all the men in black only felt a dazzling cold light flash, and several men in black fell to the ground, and they couldn't help but be secretly surprised by his speed. Li Zifeng turned around, dodged a knife sideways, and the long sword turned around and sent it lightly, and it was inserted into the chest of the man in black. At this time, another man in black attacked silently from behind, Li Zifeng had already realized it, one turned around, the Qing Ying Sword blocked the sharp blade, and then the other flipped to the side, and the man's steel knife suddenly came out of his hand. Before the man could react, the cold blade had already smeared his neck. 'Boom!' and another corpse on the ground.

Li Zifeng calmly wiped the blood stains on the Qing Ying Sword, and the corners of his mouth hooked up an indifferent smile, "What's the matter?"

"I didn't expect them to kill you, originally our lord meant to put a long line to catch a big fish, so be it! The cold voice landed, and a man in black gradually approached, and under the warm yellow candlelight, a familiar face appeared in front of him, it was the one who had followed him for some days, Tian Kun. Behind Tian Kun, dozens of black-clothed people emerged.

Li Zifeng was still calm, "You don't think you've won a big victory, do you?"

"Otherwise?" Tian Kun sneered, "You have also seen this situation now. ”

Li Zifeng sighed helplessly, shook his head with a smile, "Tian Kun, you have been by my side for so long, and you haven't learned my style of acting at all. Do you think what you see and know now is the truth?"

"What do you mean?!"

"Are you really going to bring you here alone when you know that the city is in danger?"

At this time, after the sound of a sharp arrow piercing the body, there were corpses everywhere, and at this time, only Li Zifeng and Tian Kun were left standing in the inn. At this time, the secret guard broke through the door and saluted Li Zifeng, "Childe, all the dead soldiers of the Lingye Palace who are dormant in the city have all been secretly cleared. The ancient shopkeeper also lived up to the trust, followed your instructions to trade, and guided the officers and soldiers to resell the traitors of the royal jade and take them down in one fell swoop. ”

"Good. Li Zifeng put his sword back into its sheath.

At the same time, it was the Hengshan faction that cleaned up the portal, and according to the secret report of the shadow guard, more than a dozen dead soldiers of the Lingye Palace who were hidden among the guards and disciples were captured. The sect presents a clear scene up and down.

Castle Inn

Seeing that Tian Kun had a small movement in his hand, Li Zifeng quickly dodged and retreated to the side, dodging the silver poison needles that attacked silently.

Tian Kun failed to sneak attack, so he clenched the long sword and went straight to Li Zifeng's faΓ§ade, Li Zifeng was confident, and did not dodge, seeing that the long sword was stabbed, he raised his hands, his index finger and middle finger pinched the tip of the sword fiercely, and the palm of his hand moved forward, Tian Kun saw that the situation was not good, let go of the hand holding the sword, and avoided the strength of Li Zifeng's forward thrust to the greatest extent, his feet were unstable, he fell to the ground, his arm was sore, and his chest was dull.

"You weren't poisoned?" Tian Kun collapsed on the ground in surprise, completely gave up resistance, and wiped the blood oozing from the corner of his mouth, "In order to dig me out, you did not hesitate to risk your life, it is really enough." ”

"You're not worth it alone. Li Zifeng squatted down, stretched out his hand to choke the top of Tian Kun's neck, forced him to look at him, showed a mocking face, and sneered, "What a poor person, being targeted by others, and not knowing it." ”

Tian Kun's face distorted, "You... Say what?"
