Yeyang City

The sky gradually darkened, the small merchants and hawkers had begun to collect their stalls one after another and were ready to go home, some shops and shops had also been on the door panels, and they had stopped their business for a day, the door of Yunxuan Pharmacy was slightly open, revealing a faint light, Shen Zhiping returned on a light horse, and immediately a medicine boy came out to greet him and took the horse rope in his hand.

"What? Zifeng returned the box?"

Shen Zhiping, who had just returned to Qingsong Hall, was sitting on a chair, holding a cup of tea in his hand, listening to Ye Li's report on the movements of all parties in the rivers and lakes. Suddenly, Ye Li said that Li Zifeng returned a box, and was taken aback. Quickly stood up from his chair.

Shen Zhiping looked anxious, and hurriedly asked, "Zifeng, what else did you say?"

"The senior brother also said thank you to the hall master, and his expression was very free..."

The most important reason why Ye Li was able to be reused by Shen Zhiping so quickly was that he had a pair of eyes that were more vicious than the Eagle Falcon, and he could see through people's minds.

"Get the box!"

Ye Li immediately took out a dark red sandalwood box from his arms and presented it to Shen Zhiping with both hands.

Shen Zhiping was stunned, "Are you carrying it?"

"I see that the senior brother has a different expression, and I am afraid that the ...... in the hall" Ye Li was a little embarrassed by this sentence, the disciples of Qingsong Hall were brought out by Shen Zhiping, could there be spies?

Shen Zhiping didn't have any dissatisfaction, but looked at Ye Li's eyes with even more appreciation, "Very good!"

Ye Li pursed his lips, not knowing how to respond, just silently left a few steps.

Shen Zhiping checked the box, and did not find any traces of opening, two hands groped on the box for a while, and the upper surface of the box suddenly protruded a messy pattern, and these patterns turned out to be through extremely ingenious ingenuity, embedded in the track, these patterns can also be moved, just see Shen Zhiping, look at the pattern and think for a moment, then move the pattern, but a few breaths of time, the pattern on the box, was put together into a mountain map, carefully look at this mountain range is the epitome of the Hengshan Mountain Range, only to hear the sound of the machine spring vibration, the box was opened with a snap。

There was a small night pearl in the box, and under it were a few folded pieces of yellowed paper, Shen Zhiping sighed, "It's all here, hey, this kid has been so stubborn since he was a child!"

"Ye Li, has anything happened in the door recently?" Shen Zhiping noticed that Ye Li had already consciously withdrawn and stood outside the door when he took the box.

"Hall Master, there hasn't been a big deal lately. It's just that yesterday evening, a senior brother saw that the senior brother had returned to the mountain, and he was in a hurry!" Ye Li walked back to the hall a few steps and replied.

Shen Zhiping frowned, "The affairs in the hall will be handled by you for the time being, and I will go back to the mountain!"

"Yes!" Ye Li's voice trembled a little.

The sun is setting in the west, the lights are on, and the Hengshan faction is a quiet and peaceful scene.

Li Zifeng had been standing in front of the courtyard of Shangqing Yuan for a whole hour, his body was straight, his expression was calm, and he did not have the slightest fatigue, and Xu Weixiang, who had been accompanying him, moved slightly, and Li Zifeng said helplessly, "Can't stand?"

The mountains in the evening were a little cold, and there was a bit of heat between breaths, Xu Weixiang couldn't help but rub his cold hands, and said embarrassedly, "No, it's just a little cold, I knew that I would have to wait for such a long time, I should go back to Yuntian Pavilion to put on a coat and come over again." ”

Li Zifeng feigned anger and said, "Talking nonsense, but you want to be beaten?"

Seeing Xu Weixiang smiling wryly, Li Zifeng's heart was full of sourness, if this was in the past, Ouyang Ze would never have left himself outside the courtyard gate for so long and ignored it, could it be that day, did it just come? Thinking of this, he sighed heavily, and said to Xu Weixiang on the side, "Hold your mouth in the future, I can protect you for a point or two, if one day I am gone......

My throat choked, and I couldn't go on.

Xu Weixiang is a rough person, and sometimes he is not as meticulous and thoughtful as Li Zifeng, but combined with what has happened these days, Rao is careless, and he also finds that the relationship between the head of the family and his son is not as close as before.

"The eldest prince is tired, what nonsense are you talking about?"

With a heavy 'squeak' sound, the courtyard door opened, and Ouyang Ze's guard Feng Yichen slowly came out and saluted Li Zifeng, "The eldest prince has been waiting for a long time, and the head of the family is busy with official business today, so he really can't spare time." I just said that I want you to come back tomorrow morning. ”

Xu Weixiang stepped forward and was about to say something, but was grabbed by Li Zifeng, and Li Zifeng also replied respectfully, "There are Lao Feng guards." Tell Master for me to take care of his health and not to overwork. ”

"Don't worry, the eldest prince. ”

The gate of Shang Qingyuan was closed again, and Li Zifeng and Xu Wei Xiang returned to Yuntian Pavilion in silence all the way.

In the middle of the moon, the shadows of the trees are sufficient, and when he returned to Yuntian Pavilion three months later, there was no longer the peace of mind and comfort in the past, Xu Zining still sat on the stone bench in the courtyard and waited, and when he saw Li Zifeng coming back, he greeted him with a brisk face, as if he didn't notice the sad look on Li Zifeng's face, and pretended to yawn lazily, "I heard that you went back to the mountain in the evening to greet the master, why did you come back so late?"

"There have been so many things going on in the past three months, and there is no time to gossip. Li Zifeng patted Xu Zining on the shoulder, "It's you, these days when I'm away, have you studied hard and practiced martial arts diligently? Are you lazy again?"

"Hey... Senior brother spare your life, it's getting late, you better go back to the house and rest!"

......

Push open the door, light the candle, the light orange light makes the neat and simple room look more comfortable and comfortable, all the way, and wait in the cold wind for a long time, making the tired body more weak, Li Zifeng simply washed, and went to bed, but no matter how hard he tried, his sore eyes could not be closed safely, so he simply sat up, opened the window, and looked at the moon with his eyes open, until the moon disappeared in the clouds, and the sky was also exposed to the white belly of the fish.

Li Zifeng got up and looked around the room carefully, seemingly with deep reluctance and attachment, then picked up his coat and quickly put it on, walked out of the gate of Yuntian Pavilion, and went straight to Shang Qingyuan.

The sky gradually brightened, the mountains were covered with mist, the greenery was covered with a little hoarfrost, and the air was filled with moisture.

In Shang Qingyuan, Ouyang Ze frowned at the letters and official documents on a table, completely ignoring the breakfast that had been put in cold next to him.

At this time, Feng Yichen knocked on the open door and called tentatively, "Master, the eldest prince asks to see." ”

Ouyang Ze sighed lightly and rubbed his eyebrows, "Please come in." ”

Feng Yichen led the order to retreat, and within half a moment, Li Zifeng, who was dressed in purple clothes, hurried in, bringing a breeze to pass, and then walked to Ouyang Ze and knelt down, "Disciple to meet Master." ”

Ouyang Ze didn't say anything in a hurry, but sat on a pear blossom wooden circle chair, looking at Li Zifeng lightly through the bookcase, with a little indifference in his eyes.

At the gate of a small courtyard outside Shang Qingyuan, several disciples of the Hengshan Sect looked inside, some of them didn't understand what the senior brother had done. Ouyang Ze is not a pedantic person, he definitely did not ask Li Zifeng to kneel, something big must have happened, otherwise Li Zifeng would not be required to kneel.

This is the first time Li Zifeng has seen Ouyang Ze after going down the mountain for more than three months, Ouyang Ze has lost a lot of weight, a few strands of silver hair have been added between the green silks, and it is still the dark gray robe, a pair of cloth boots with a thousand layers of bottoms, and the jade pendant on his waist is gone.

An hour later, Ouyang Zexu felt that Li Zifeng's face was too pale, so he said in a low voice, "I haven't seen you for more than three months, you have lost a lot of weight." ”

If he had come back from a mission in the past, and heard Ouyang Ze's words of hushing and warmth, Li Zifeng would definitely step forward, smiling evilly, and quipping, 'Then how is the master going to make up for the apprentice?', but now, he clearly heard a little strange in this sentence.

Li Zifeng opened his chapped lips and said in a low voice, "Disciple... I've let Master down!"

After more than three months of running around, Li Zifeng has a little more vicissitudes under his appearance, his eyes are deep-set, the whole person has lost a lot of weight, and his face looks very three-dimensional, with the perseverance of an axe and chisel knife, as if he has begun to collect the sword of brilliance, becoming more natural and peaceful.

Ouyang Ze frowned, he didn't mean to let Li Zifeng get up, and his tone was a little angry, "Why?"

"Because the disciple is at fault..."

There were more and more disciples outside the door, and there was a whispered voice. The team led by Li Zifeng pulled out a large number of Lingye Palace rudders, got rid of hundreds of evil demons that endangered the martial arts, and escaped from the assassination of Lingye Palace several times, and they have already been famous in the rivers and lakes.

Ouyang Ze glanced out of the door with some displeasure, and the disciples outside the door were suddenly shocked, it seems that the master's anger this time is not fake! Everyone immediately scattered, and a shadow sprung out of the study, Shang Qingyuan's small courtyard in the early morning, a few afterimages on the ground skimmed, and the door of Shang Qingyuan was gently closed.
