Li Zifeng and Qingyingwei and his party left Pu Yuan, and they dispersed, and an hour later, the sky was dark, and there were sporadic torches flashing outside, and it was Xu Xiangkun who brought a large team of people to search.

The dilapidated inner hall could only be lit by torches, and Xu Xiangkun's men searched all corners with torches, and in a moment, they arrested some ordinary people in cloth clothes, they all looked very panicked, I don't know what happened, and a leading captain stepped forward to reply, "Pavilion leader, I caught these people." ”

Xu Xiangkun carefully observed the people who were 'caught', and the people looked at Xu Xiangkun with a cold face, all dressed in shabby cloth clothes with patches, panicked, and some were still trembling, "Big... Big... Man, what are you?"

"Who are you and why are you here?" asked Xu Xiangkun with a frown.

"Before... Not long ago there was a famine, and we... It's a refugee from out of town... Hiding in... Here..."A middle-aged man swallowed his saliva and said boldly, "Official... What the hell is going on?"

At this time, a guard captain under Xu Xiangkun came back and forth, "Pavilion leader, except for some necessary clothes and rations, there are also these people, and nothing else." The captain of the guard asked tentatively, "Is there a mistake?"

Xu Xiangkun smiled deeply, the news was correct, but the time was wrong, this was originally an excerpt between him and Li Zifeng, Li Zifeng took the first step to get the news to transfer the Qingyingwei secretly cultivated by Wan Ziyu, and left a few people to change into coarse linen clothes with patches to escape the refugees.

Immediately afterwards, he led people to follow and searched this 'suspicious stronghold', and in full view of everyone, he did not find out one or two, and the emperor also said that it had passed. It's just that these refugees have to be tested again.

Thinking of this, Xu Xiangkun pulled out the sword on his waist and stared at the people, the people were frightened and gathered together, and some were even so frightened that they peed their pants, Xu Xiangkun looked at it silently for a while, and then put the sword back into its sheath.

"Have you spotted any suspicious people lately?" asked the captain of the guard on one side.

The people didn't speak, they just shook their heads vigorously like rattles, Xu Xiangkun and the captain of the guard glanced at each other, and when they saw this situation, they couldn't ask anything, so they prepared to collect the team and go back.

Xu Xiangkun instructed his guard captain, "Leave a small team scattered around to investigate closely, and if you find suspicious people, you will be arrested immediately, and if you resist, you will be killed!"

"Yes!" the captain of the guard commanded, leading a small team of his subordinates to disperse around Pu Yuan.

Xu Xiangkun walked up to the people who were still trembling, and played with the hilt of the sword at his waist, "The rebels are arrested everywhere here, and Wei'an City is not a good place, so you should disperse separately!" Xu Xiangkun said, looking at the middle-aged man who had just spoken to him, intentionally or unintentionally, "Are there any relatives at home?"

The people nodded and shook their heads again, and one of the soldiers hurriedly said, "What do you mean by nodding and shaking your head?!"

Xu Xiangkun didn't want to say any more, and ordered his two soldiers to leave with some people. A group of horses and horses withdrew with unarmed people, leaving only the guards who were secretly investigating, and only a dilapidated scene was left in the Pu Garden.

Xu Xiangkun immediately returned to the city and entered the palace, and truthfully returned all the details of the search to Zhu Xingzhan, Zhu Xingzhan just frowned and pondered for a long time, and finally didn't say anything, waving his hand to signal Xu Xiangkun to retreat, but when Xu Xiangkun mentioned Wan Ziyu, Zhu Xingzhan immediately sank his face, nothing was found here, it doesn't mean that there are no other problems.

"Stand down!" Zhu Xingzhan said as he looked at Xu Xiangkun, who was still in place.

"The minister retired. Xu Xiangkun didn't dare to stay for a long time, so he retreated knowingly.

Soon after Xu Xiangkun left, behind the satin dark pattern screen on the side of the imperial study, a figure was reflected, which was refracted on the ground under the illumination of the lamp, pulling out a long shadow, and Zhu Xingzhan didn't care.

The leader of the Dark Pavilion disappeared without a trace, and made a gesture of bowing to Zhu Xingzhan through the screen, "Your Majesty." ”

"What do you think?" Zhu Xingzhan looked at the folds on the table and rubbed his frowning brow.

Shadow said humbly, "Back to Your Majesty, there is no real evidence, the minister is not good at talking nonsense, I just feel that all this is too coincidental, the minister was ordered to follow Li Zifeng, found that he had a conflict with Li Muyang, and then sent someone to send Li Muyang out of the city, and he himself went out of the city in another direction." He has excellent physical skills, but his ministers are incompetent, and he loses it. ”

There is no trace of the meaning, everything that happened in Puyuan is completely consistent with Li Zifeng's actions, presumably there is a tacit understanding between Li Zifeng and Xu Xiangkun, but there is no conclusive evidence, so it is difficult to draw a conclusion.

"Your Majesty!" Zhu Xingzhan didn't speak for a long time, and he called tentatively without a trace.

Zhu Xingzhan's face was pale, he didn't expect that his courtiers would actually have a relationship with the people of the rivers and lakes, and this person also had such a complicated background and identity Li Zifeng, Zhu Xingzhan slapped the table heavily, and several fine cracks immediately appeared on the mahogany table, and all the items also trembled, making a crisp sound.

Zhu Xingzhan picked up the teacup, took a sip of warm tea, and after trying his best to suppress his anger, he said, "Continue to keep an eye on Li Zifeng's every move, and if there is any abnormal behavior, arrest him immediately! ”

"Obey. "The man without a trace, as his name suggests, leaves like the wind.

For the sake of safety, Qingyingwei, under Li Zifeng's suggestion, all dispersed and concealed in an orderly manner, and Li Zifeng also returned to Wei'an City before the city gate was closed.

Most of the shops in Guard City have been closed, except for the sporadic night market stalls, and the food shops are still lit up for passers-by to keep an eye on.

Li Zifeng stopped in front of a lantern stall, all kinds of lanterns came into view, and the stall owner greeted him warmly, "Childe, choose a lantern! It also looks good to hang it at home as a decoration, look at this ......"

Li Zifeng picked one under the enthusiastic introduction of the stall owner, paid the money, and turned around and went to the courtyard of Mu Lin Pavilion.

He was not interested in the lanterns, but always felt that the road under his feet was not easy to walk, and since he rushed back to Guard City, he had a feeling of uneasiness, which became more and more intense, and even his breathing began to be unsteady.

The bright light of the lantern seemed to calm him down, and the circle of light from the lantern spread out to the surroundings, and as far as the eye could see, a faintly visible figure followed not far away.

Turning into a no-man's land at the corner of the alley, the figure took the initiative to appear, "Li Gongzi stayed." ”

Li Zifeng suddenly stopped his steps, and was not surprised by the sudden voice behind him, "Your Excellency has been with me for a few days, and it is really hard. The voice was as calm as a lake, without any waves.

Li Gongzi was not shocked, but he didn't know that danger had come. A black-clothed masked man approached, his voice deep, and his sword-like eyes swept straight at Li Zifeng. As soon as you guessed, it was the leader of the Dark Pavilion who was nowhere to be found.

Li Zifeng smiled calmly, looked at the lantern in his hand and asked, "I wonder what Your Excellency thinks of this lantern?"

The green shadow pinned to his waist seemed to have detected his master's thoughts, and he was ready to attack without a trace.

"With this lantern alone, how can you fight against the whole darkness?, is Childe really not afraid in his heart?" said without a trace, but what he didn't know was that his words had pulled him back from the threat of death.

Li Zifeng did have a killing intent towards Shadow, but Traceless's reply made him temporarily let go of this thought. Li Zifeng waved his hand to extinguish the lantern, and the surroundings suddenly became dark, "Walking like this, maybe you don't know where you fall?"

Li Zifeng deeply experienced the pain of facing the darkness, but the darkness is not terrible, what is terrible is knowing that it is darkness, but letting it develop, making the darkness more and more intense.

"No matter what way, you and I can be regarded as acquaintances, I advise Gongzi, as well as the power behind you, take care of your own hands, and don't challenge the patience of your master again. After finishing speaking, Li Zifeng could no longer be found in front of him, leaving only a lantern standing in the corner.

Shadow picked up the lantern and sighed slightly.
