Chapter 67: Brothers
Three days later, the martial arts conference officially opened. The disciples of the Hengshan faction were dressed in lilac robes one by one, embroidered with the unique pattern marks of the Hengshan faction, and they were full of energy and spirit.
The mountainside is crowded with people, and the places that can accommodate the feet are almost full of people, like spring bamboo shoots scrambling, and some people stand on the way up the mountain and look forward to it, and more people are intercepted by the flow of people at the foot of the mountain, and the temporary stalls selling goods are set up at the foot of the mountain that is deserted on weekdays, and the nearby towns are even more overcrowded.
The biennial event of the entire rivers and lakes, as long as it is mixed in the rivers and lakes and likes to join in the fun, who doesn't want to squeeze forward.
The mountainside venue is composed of three martial arts arenas with a red carpet three feet above the ground, and a seven-foot-high grandstand at the center. There are dozens of positions in the stands, which are full of the heads of today's martial arts schools and some highly respected figures.
"Everyone, fellow martial artists!" Xiang Rui, the elder of the Hengshan faction, appeared in the center of the stands, his voice was like a bell, and the voice containing deep internal force could be heard clearly at the foot of the mountain, and the depth of the internal breath was really shocking, and the disciples of some small sects on the mountainside were almost frightened, and the crowd outside the venue immediately quieted down.
"I am very grateful to all of you for traveling thousands of miles to Hengshan to participate in the grand event of the martial arts conference. If this faction is lazy, please forgive me, the martial arts conference has always been to maintain the stability of the rivers and lakes, eradicate the evil forces, and promote the ...... of all sects and factions."
Xiang Rui has presided over the large-scale ceremony for many years, and there is naturally an irrefutable solemnity in his words, and his opening remarks, thousands of words all contain internal force, and the strong strength of the Hengshan faction shocked a group of people in the rivers and lakes.
Xiang Rui continued to read out the agenda of the martial arts conference after a pause, "The agenda of this conference lasts for three days. First, the various sects negotiated the extermination of the Lingye Palace, second, the competition and exchange of martial arts experience, and third, the ...... of the next martial arts conference"
As early as when Xiang Rui announced the first item of this martial arts conference to discuss the extermination of Lingye Palace, the entire venue exploded. Even the heads of the various factions who had always been self-reliant couldn't sit still, and began to talk about it, they hadn't received the news in advance that they were going to start preparing to clear the Lingye Palace, this decision really involved too much!
As a top force in the rivers and lakes, Hongyuan Villa naturally has the strength to participate in the martial arts conference, and Li Shijie, the eldest son of Hongyuan Villa, is also in the team of Hongyuan Villa. But it didn't appear in the venue.
Li Zifeng had long known the agenda of the conference, and he also knew that the Hengshan faction had been secretly preparing to eradicate the Lingye Palace for a long time. Naturally, he had no interest in the morning conference, and did not appear at the venue like Li Shijie. At this moment, Li Zifeng held a note tightly in his hand, and avoided the rest of the people passing by with all his thoughts, and walked towards a very hidden forest on the mountain.
The note was found on his waist shortly after Li Zifeng was bumped into by an ugly middle-aged man while he was walking! Li Zifeng was shocked by the man's miraculous technique, and when Li Zifeng wrapped the note in a handkerchief and opened it carefully, all the shock turned into endless memories
Li Zifeng couldn't wait to avoid pedestrians, looked for the address on the note and went down the mountain, and after going around a few circles, he finally made sure that no one was following behind him, and after checking that there was no one around the yard and no one was ambushed, he lightly climbed over the low outer wall of a courtyard.
This is a small farm yard, hoes, dustpans, and strips show the identity of the family, the door is closed, and all kinds of crops are dried in the courtyard. Li Zifeng looked around vigilantly. Suddenly, the door squeaked and closed slowly.
Li Zifeng's whole body was tense, and his internal breath was running all over his body. Just saw the person who came clearly, and Li Zifeng relaxed.
Pushing open the door was a man in a black practice uniform, this man looked very handsome, with a knife-like face, a straight nose, and sword eyebrows and starry eyes that were eight or nine points similar to Li Zifeng, but his face was a little softer than Li Zifeng's indifference!
Li Zifeng's throat was a little dry, and countless memories came to his heart. Li Zifeng has long been ruthlessly injured by the children of the rivers and lakes, and the state of mind polished by the indifferent and ruthless atmosphere on the martial arts powerhouse seems to be beginning to warm up. Li Zifeng felt the closeness of the blood connection.
After Li Zifeng completely recovered his memory, he has always had a grudge against the people of Hongyuan Villa, the humiliation he received in his childhood, scenes have been flashing in his mind, and the man who gave him life and ruthlessly abandoned him, he can have malice towards everyone in Hongyuan Villa, but he can't bear to have a grudge against the people in front of him.
Li Zifeng held back for a long time, and the 'brother' finally failed to shout, only turned into a wry smile, and his voice seemed to be a little disgusted, "Don't come to the library pavilion, everything is okay with the young owner?"
Li Shijie was laughed angrily, "Seeing that you are still standing here alive, the guilt in my heart for that night has disappeared, and it is naturally very good." How does it feel to see me as an enemy now?"
On the night Li Shijie was ordered to attack the library pavilion, he unknowingly seriously injured Li Zifeng, and when he found out about his background, guilt and sadness began to torment him to the death, and at that time, Li Zifeng was an enemy, and he stabbed him in the heart.
Li Zifeng was slightly stunned, after recalling everything that night, after finding out that the person who injured him was him, he really felt heartache, but he never complained about him, and even lied in front of Ouyang Ze for the first time in order to hide it for him, lying that he didn't see the true face of the attacker.
"The young owner is really joking, now that your family has a big business, how dare I regard you as an enemy?"
"You've grown up. Li Shijie didn't care about the slightly sarcastic words of the person in front of him, but looked straight at Li Zifeng in a white robe in front of him, handsome and handsome, and his heart was complicated.
Li Zifeng smiled but said nothing......
Li Shijie sighed, as if he was deliberately reminding, "I can't imagine that my younger brother, who has been weak and helpless since he was a child, has become ruthless and decisive in the face of the enemy." ”
The expression froze on his face, the corners of Li Zifeng's mouth twitched, and his brows furrowed slightly, "What do you mean by this?"
Li Shijie still kept smiling, "What's the matter, do you want me to remind you what you did yourself?"
Li Zifeng stared at Li Shijie for a long time, his eyes flashed a little helpless and bitter, and his tone also added a little coolness and strangeness, "The young owner is questioning me for a subordinate?"
Li Shijie said with a smile, "The chief disciple of the Hengshan Sect has a reputation, and killing someone is like pinching an ant to death, but you are smart and confused for a while, and you just killed a clown who jumped off the beam, thus exposing yourself, do you think it is worth it?"
Li Zifeng frowned, he had to admit that what Li Shijie said was right, killing Li Quan, thus pushing himself to the brink of exposure, Li Zifeng's eyes flashed, "The young master called me here just to say this?"
The person in front of him who was thinking about it was a young farmer, which made Li Shijie's heart twist like a knife, and then he smiled bitterly, "Otherwise, I will arrest you to Hongyuan Villa and testify against you in front of my father?"
Li Zifeng pondered for a long time and said, "You seem to be getting very close to the Lingye Palace recently, do you know that you are playing with fire and self-immolation? Once the power of heaven comes, what you bring to Hongyuan Villa will be a catastrophe!"
He couldn't forget what Emperor Zhu Xingzhan told him that night, and once he sat down, he would be wiped out immediately. No matter how much he hated it, it was the place where he lived after all, and he didn't want to watch the entire villa burn down, especially not wanting any accident to Li Shihui, who had always taken good care of him since he was a child.
Li Shijie smiled helplessly, "Do you think I haven't resisted? Others don't understand, you still don't understand? No one can disobey Dad's order, and the forces behind him, with my own strength, can't be shaken." ”
Li Zifeng sighed heavily......
In the four directions of the courtyard wall, Li Shijie's four secret sentinels have unknowingly lost their body temperature. The body was tied to a large stone and sunk into a murky river nearby, and was nowhere to be seen.
A man, wearing the uniform of Hongyuan Villa, did not hide his identity, with a long sword hanging from his waist, and a wicked smile appeared at the corner of his mouth, "Young Zhuang Master, the duty of his subordinates is to protect your safety, these small fish and shrimp should go back to their own small river!" Then, he clapped his hands and watched the ripples disappear on the surface of the river.
This shadow guard is the person sent by Li Shijie to take the sword, Shen Ying. This Shadow Guard Captain is really not a person to deal with, he must have gotten rid of Li Shijie's arrangement, and then tracked it down. The rest of the shadow guards around must have been lurking in the shadows.
A large tree with lush foliage and lush roots, rooted in solid ground, cast a large area of shade for the hot summer months, providing a moment of respite from the heat wave.
Ouyang Ze's secret guard beside him was lying on the trunk of the tree, his eyes were an ordinary farm courtyard, his face was flat, and he sighed a little inexplicably in his heart, "Eldest son, your body is really a little worse." ”
