Over the endless mountains, over the towns, across the silence, the hustle and bustle. A magnificent and magnificent city stands on the earth, Liang Jingchao is the center, and the city of Wei'an. In a building that is extremely extravagant, you can't see the extended edge of the courtyard wall, along the stone road, the glazed tile is heavily roofed, the bright attic cornices are high, and the golden silk Nan is not on the plaque, and the golden three big characters 'Imperial Study' come into view.

Emperor Zhu Xingzhan was sitting in front of the bookcase, discussing some important matters with the crown prince. At this time, an extremely discordant footsteps came from far and near, and a waiter entered the study, knelt on his knees, and offered the music in his hand with both hands, "Slave maid see Your Majesty, see His Royal Highness the Prince." ”

Zhu Xingzhan's brows tightened slightly, and the look of displeasure had already jumped on his face, "What's the matter?

"The slave is guilty!"

Seeing that the chamberlain was in a hurry, the crown prince Zhu Luoyun tidied up his cuffs and bowed to Zhu Xingzhan, "Father, presumably this chamberlain has an urgent situation to return, and it is not appropriate for the son to stay for a long time, so he will retire first." ”

"Oh, no, you're the prince of a country, and there are some things that you should listen to. ”

"Yes. Zhu Luoyun bowed, stepped aside, and stood respectfully.

The chamberlain has always maintained a bowed posture, holding the fold with both hands, even if he is in a hurry, without Emperor Zhu Xingzhan to speak, he will never dare to get up, and it will be half a day before Zhu Xingzhan signals to bring the fold up.

After taking the recital and looking at it carefully, half a cup of tea, Zhu Xingzhan's eyes were silently dyed a little gloomy, Zhu Luoyun observed from the side, obviously felt that the atmosphere was a little wrong, and hurriedly waved his hand to signal the waiter to retreat.

"Father, but the Ling Ye Palace is in chaos again?"

Zhu Xingzhan smiled coldly, "The children of the family were poisoned by the rebels of the Lingye Palace at the foot of the Hengshan faction, and after Li Zifeng led people to rescue, several sons of the family were fine, and then led the disciples of the decent sect to exterminate several branches of the Lingye Palace, and suffered heavy damage. ”

Zhu Luoyun's heart tightened, and he couldn't help but worry about Li Zifeng, "What happened to Zifeng?"

Zhu Xingzhan raised his head and stared at Zhu Luoyun for a long time before throwing the fold in his hand, "See for yourself!"

After Zhu Luoyun saw it, he was shocked, "Li Zifeng colluded with Lingye Palace to oppose the party and assassinate the family and the children of various famous families, the evidence is conclusive. has been taken into custody by Ouyang Ze in the dungeon awaiting trial... How is it possible?" Zhu Luoyun couldn't forget the murderous intent and resentment in his eyes when he witnessed Li Zifeng fighting with Ling Ye Palace several times, but how could it be now......

"It's rare to see that you can make a friend who is quite confidant, I don't want this to be true, a few days ago, there was a secret fold, saying that Li Zifeng is the second son of Li Muyang, the owner of Hongyuan Villa, who fell off the cliff. ”

A generation of emperors, powerful in all directions, it is rare to explain so patiently, Zhu Xingzhan and Li Zifeng have been in close contact, although it is not a long time, but Li Zifeng's clear eyes and handsome face left a deep impression on him, he really can't associate him with the Ling Ye Palace against the party, he has always boasted that he is very accurate, but now, ......

Zhu Luoyun pinched the fold and didn't let go, and resentment appeared between his eyebrows, "Framed, this is clearly framed! Father ......"

Seeing that Zhu Luoyun saluted and was about to continue to say words of pleading, Zhu Xingzhan waved his hand first and interrupted, "Whether it is framed or not is not up to you, nor is it up to me." ”

Zhu Luoyun pursed his lips, and a thought in his heart was pressed again and again, but in the end, he couldn't hold back, "Father, or you will directly make a holy decree and let that Ouyang Ze ......"

"Presumptuous!" slapped his palm on the table, and the tea cup trembled, making a crisp sound,

Zhu Luoyun came back to his senses, knelt on the ground with his robe, and even the eunuch and palace maid guarding the door in the outhouse also knelt on the ground, Zhu Xingzhan glared at Zhu Luoyun angrily, and scolded, "As the prince of a country, so ignorant of the severity, can the holy decree be easily given?

Zhu Luoyun kowtowed, "The son lost his words, please ask my father to forgive me." ”

Zhu Xingzhan frowned, "Emperor Shengxian and the founder of the Hengshan faction made an oath that the Hengshan faction must not interfere in the affairs of the court, and the imperial court, including the emperor, is also not allowed to interfere in the internal affairs of the Hengshan faction. ”

"Erchen understands. Zhu Luoyun opened his mouth, but the rest of the words were not said after all.

Zhu Xingzhan looked at the twists and turns on the corner of the table, and the heroic, gentle and polite face always appeared in front of him, frowned and sighed, and silently read in his heart, it depends on whether he will tell the secret when he is facing death, and it is also a promise owed to him before.

Hung Yuen Villa

The autumn wind gusted, the birds chirped, which made people feel bored, Li Shijie looked at the breakfast that had been cooled on the table, his expression was solemn, for some reason, he always felt that that day in the suburbs not far from the town near Hongyuan Villa, in a dense forest, he always felt that something was wrong......

It was noon that day, and Li Zifeng used the secret method they agreed on when they were children to make an appointment with Li Shijie to meet at Youshi, and Li Shijie went to the appointment on time.

【Memories】

The sunset gradually set, the red sunset sprinkled through the dense forest, falling speckled light, Li Shijie came as promised, and from a distance, he saw the familiar back.

Stepping on the dirt that was not flat, he walked quickly to the position two steps behind the figure and stopped, just about to shout and ask for warmth, but he might as well that person's sword qi attacked, Li Shijie reacted quickly, took out the short knife on his body, and hurriedly took the move, the short knife and the long sword were intertwined, sending out a little spark.

The two of them were evenly matched, after a few moves, they did not distinguish the winner or loser, after a burst of sword light and sword shadow, the figure of the fight finally stopped, and then looked at the place where Li Shijie's shoulder was close to his neck, gently holding a sword, and the owner of that sword was Li Zifeng.

At the last moment, Li Shijie thought that someone had set a trap to kill him in advance, but at this moment, although he was threatened with his life, he calmed down, so he looked at Li Zifeng intently and smiled, "It's too rude to ask someone like this, right?"

"Rude?" Li Zifeng raised his eyebrows and sneered, "During the martial arts conference, the young master took advantage of the opportunity to meet me to secretly collude with the dead soldiers of the Lingye Palace, set a trap, and poison the children of the family, is this polite?"

Li Shijie was stunned, that incident was always a thorn in his heart, for this reason, he did not hesitate to contradict Li Muyang, and in the face of Li Zifeng's questioning, he calmed down, "Do you think I did it?"

Li Zifeng's tentative tone became more and more obvious, "Otherwise, who else is there besides you?"

An inscrutable smile appeared on Li Shijie's face, and he gently brushed away the sword around his neck with his hand, "Although you have grown up and become a lot more stable, you will inevitably have simplicity and kindness in your bones, if I want to do it, how can I leave you with such obvious flaws?"

Li Zifeng frowned, staring at Li Shijie deadly, this move was just to protect, and he didn't want to suspect casually without evidence, the person in front of him, after all, was the closest person to him except for his mother. But he would never choose to believe it completely because of Li Shijie's two words of defense, and Li Shijie just thought so.

"I still say the same thing, stay away from the Lingye Palace, otherwise, it will bring you a catastrophe. ”

After that, Li Zifeng put his sword back into its sheath and turned to leave, Li Shijie looked at Li Zifeng's back and sighed heavily.

[End of memory]

Li Shijie came back to his senses, and caught a glimpse of the faint figure behind a screen in the study, thinking about what had happened before and after these days, he stood up suddenly, his eyes met the figure, as if he was about to breathe fire, "What did you do?"

An evil voice sounded unsurprisingly, "Why is the young farmer so angry? I just helped you find your brother who has been lost for many years and is still alive." ”

Li Shijie's expression was awe-inspiring, at this moment, he finally understood what was wrong, and said in a low voice, "If something happens to him, I will kill you!"

After that, he was about to go out, and the evil voice sounded again, "The owner of the village said that you are too emotional, and sure enough, do you think you can walk out of the gate of the villa?"

Li Shijie stopped, turned to the accompanying floating shadow who had already walked out from behind the screen, and frowned, "What did you say?!"
