In the backyard of Hongyuan Villa, the plants are verdant and the vegetation is flourishing.

"Young Zhuang Master, the duty of the subordinates is to protect your safety! The subordinates over there in Yeyang City can arrange for others to go. Shen Ying, the captain of the shadow guard beside Li Shijie, said expressionlessly.

"In the past few days, I will be in the villa, there will be no problem, that sword is a must for my martial arts competition. Your light work is the best among several people, and you can only have time if you go. Father's side has me to deal with it, and I won't embarrass you" Li Shijie is very helpless every time he faces this captain of the guard who does not enter the oil and salt, this person is his father's eyes, and he can only use means in secret.

The shadow guard was silent for a moment, calculated the itinerary, and with his foot strength, he should be able to rush back before the young master set off to participate in the martial arts conference, so he responded to Li Shijie's task, negotiated a few words with the other shadow guards around him, and left.

Li Shijie looked at the back of Shen Ying, who was arranged by his father to leave with the best light skills on his body, and a smile appeared on his face, since you went, stay in Yeyang City for a few more days!

Li Shijie of the martial arts conference has his own plan, as long as he supports this shadow guard with the best light skills, the other shadow guards will not have to worry about it, and they can easily get rid of it.

Li Shijie pondered for a long time, as if he remembered some good memories, and a faint smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

An evil voice sounded in his ears, and he didn't need to look to know that it was Li Muyang's eyeliner floating beside him, "The young owner knows that the arrogant Li Quan died, died a miserable death, half of his face was cut off, and his arm was cut off. I don't know who it is, and the methods are so cruel. ”

Li Shijie was only slightly stunned, and then said with a smile, "It's just a noisy person, let's die, and the whole villa is clean." ”

As soon as the floating shadow heard this, he knew that Li Quan's death really had nothing to do with Li Shijie, so he also let down his vigilance. The corners of his mouth hooked up a faint smile, "The young owner seems to be in a good mood! ”

"Oh, why am I in a bad mood, is it normal in your opinion?" Li Shijie looked at the floating shadow playfully, and the ivory folding fan in his hand gently tapped the palm of his hand, "Although Li Quan is pure, it is not a trivial matter in the villa, how can you still have time to talk to me here, is it possible that you really want to cut off your arm in front of your father to apologize?"

The smile froze on his face, and the corners of the floating shadow's mouth twitched, it was not good to attack on the bright side, so he had to grit his teeth secretly, "What the young owner said is that his subordinates will go to check." ”

After that, the figure disappeared in an instant. Li Shijie looked at the direction he was leaving, his eyes covered with a layer of murderous intent! Then, he silently recalled the words of Li Quan's death, but in an instant, his eyebrows tightened, and he sighed helplessly in his heart: My brother... After all, I grew up.

The martial arts conference is about to be held, and the activities of people and horses from all walks of life are very active, and disciples wearing uniforms of various sects and strong martial arts can be seen everywhere carrying single swords and swords in their hands.

Hengshan faction began to gradually become lively under the mountain, the inn was overcrowded, the street was full of martial arts hawkers dressed as chivalrous, from time to time a few people quarreled, quarrels, but most of the swords were not out of the sheath, fists and feet did not touch. After all, the face of the Hengshan faction still has to be given, even if the people in the rivers and lakes are happy to take revenge, they will restrain each other at this time.

Ten days later, a martial arts conference was held, and the disciples of the Hengshan faction who were inspecting were relatively leisurely, and no matter which side saw the disciples of the Hengshan faction, they were also very polite.

In the study room of Yuntian Pavilion, Li Zifeng was at a loss for words against a stack of official documents, which not only contained the secret reports of the various halls of the Hengshan faction, but also the relevant information of the martial arts conference.

But the culprit that really worries Li Zifeng is not the mountains of official documents, but the reason for the 'disappearance' for the past few days, since returning to the mountain, he has been keeping himself busy, so as to deliberately avoid Ouyang Ze, and Ouyang Ze has been busy with the martial arts conference, and he seems to be in no mood to take care of him. But escape is not the way, he always has to have an explanation.

The degree of well-informed on the rivers and lakes is beyond Li Zifeng's expectations, and the secrets in the hands of these hidden forces are even more unimaginable, and the weeds are spreading wildly on the land in the face of summer vitality, fully releasing their vitality and seeking a bigger world. Li Zifeng trembled in his heart......

At this time, a person came in with hot tea, adding a bit of flowing freshness to the dull air.

"Put it down!" Li Zifeng sighed lightly and rubbed his temples to relieve the discomfort in his head.

"Senior brother, can't you say what is in your heart?

Li Zifeng looked up and found that it was Xu Zining, and said with a wry smile, "You're here?"

Xu Zining pouted, "Yes, I've been here for a while, and you've been in a daze, and you haven't even poked out my breath." Seeing that you are restless, is it related to the content of the conversation with Uncle Shen in those days?"

Li Zifeng's expression froze, and then he sighed tiredly, "There are some things, I still don't know ......"

Shang Qingyuan study, the fragrance of tea is overflowing, and the sun is lazy.

Dark Guard Yi Hao opened his mouth with some hesitation, "Master......!

"What's the matter?" Ouyang Ze frowned, the purple brush in his hand was still waving on the rice paper, Li Quan, the chief housekeeper of Hongyuan Villa, was killed by the enemy, Lingye Palace was about to move, all parties in the rivers and lakes were not very stable, and they worked hard to arrange it for days, Ouyang Ze was a little upset, and the handwriting he wrote was a little anxious.

"The eldest prince got rid of the protection of the secret guard before, and said that he went back to the mountain directly!" Yi Hao knew that this was not within the scope of his duties, but it was really a little strange.

What a character Ouyang Ze is, he naturally understands the meaning of the secret guard. He didn't ask, but waited for Yi Hao to continue.

Yi Hao continued to reply, "Some people say that there was a person near that abandoned manor, whose body shape and voice resembled that of the eldest prince!"

Ouyang Ze suddenly stopped the pen in his hand and squinted his eyes slightly, "Investigate this matter thoroughly!"

"Yes!" Yu Hao immediately ordered to retreat.

Ouyang Ze stretched out his hand and held the jade pendant on his waist in his hand, this exquisite jade pendant was finely carved and the material was precious. It was Li Zifeng who came from many painstaking places and gave it to Ouyang Ze as a birthday gift, Ouyang Ze was overjoyed, and regarded it as a treasure, just like Li Zifeng.

He carefully felt the lines on the jade pendant, as if he was speculating on the mind of his extremely trusted great apprentice.

Lingye Palace has frequent activities, and combined with the situation of all parties, it is speculated that Hongyuan Villa seems to have an affair with Lingye Palace. Lingye Palace is almost a taboo in the martial arts, as long as anyone comes into contact with the Lingye Palace, they will definitely become a public enemy of the martial arts, they will be hunted down by various factions, and they will be wanted by the imperial court.

Hongyuan Villa However, this is just Ouyang Ze's speculation, and there is no evidence. The situation is complicated, and any possibility cannot be ignored, and at this moment, it also involves his most proud disciple!

The sky is sinking and the moonlight is shining......

Surrounded by flowers and plants, one of the tallest lofts overlooks the bustling town. Shen Tianxiong stood in the attic with his hands in his hands, and behind him, a young man with a delicate appearance and dressed in the clothes of a disciple of Mu Lin Pavilion stood behind Shen Tianxiong.

"Is there any movement in the middle of the court?" The summer starry sky is shining, the moonlight is clear, the breeze is not dry, and the night is just right.

"There is no change for the time being, it's just that there have been some problems with the silver coins of Chase Money Bank recently, and a lot of cash money is missing!" The young man looked seven or eight points similar to Shen Tianxiong, only a little immature, and also overlooked the brightly lit town beyond the attic.

"Ling Ye Palace can't bear it, that kid may have to suffer a little grievance!" Shen Tianxiong was very calm, his words were concerned, but not very obvious.

"Then we ......," the young man hesitated.

"Mu Lin Pavilion has always been Mu Lin Pavilion, and it has long been decided where to go. Shen Tianxiong slowly raised his head, glanced at the soft moonlight, and suddenly exerted force under his feet, his whole body jumped up towards the outside of the attic, and his footsteps lightly tapped the railing, and he flew directly down the attic with extremely clever light skills. Like a butterfly, the posture is light.

The man was stunned for a moment, shook his head with a wry smile, and said in his heart, why is this old guy so showy, isn't it that he stole a day's laziness yesterday, and came to remind himself again. He also glanced at Starlight, stopped there, and turned to go down the stairs.

Hengshan School Shang Qing Yuan

Five days have passed, and the secret guards have been looking for news of the days when Li Zifeng disappeared, and then found out that Li Zifeng had gone to the abandoned manor where Li Quan died, and dug up more than a dozen terrifying human limbs, heads and rotting corpses under the weeds.

The methods were extremely cruel! Ouyang Ze frowned, and his face was gloomy.

At this time, Mo Xuan, a squire disciple dressed in green clothes, came in to serve tea, the tea was steaming, exuding bursts of fragrance, but Ouyang Ze was not in the mood to enjoy it, he just rubbed his head and frowned, "Have you been here in the past few days since your senior brother came back?"

Mo Xuan shook his head, "I haven't been here." ”

Ouyang Ze sighed in disappointment, he didn't want Li Zifeng to have anything to do with Hongyuan Villa, but it turned out that Li Zifeng was very suspicious of having some kind of connection with Hongyuan Villa, and he was deliberately hiding something.

"Master?" Mo Xuan was still young after all, and it was inevitable that he was a little young, looking at Ouyang Ze, who had been silent for a long time, he was at a loss, and he didn't even know whether to leave on his own, so he tentatively opened his mouth and called out.

Ouyang Ze came back to his senses, "Oh, it's okay, you can step back first!"

"Yes. ”

Ouyang Ze got up and opened the door, walked to the half-open courtyard gate, watched the disciples of the miscellaneous workshop carry things to and fro in front of the courtyard gate, preparing to arrange the venue, and after pondering for a while, he casually called a disciple, "Go and call your senior brother to the back mountain, just say that I have something to ask him." ”

"Yes. ”

After speaking, Ouyang Ze turned back to the study, untied the jade pendant around his waist and put it on the table, took a sword, and walked back to the mountain.
