Hung Yuen Villa

The willow leaves by the river flutter in the wind, the lotus leaves float in the pond, and the breeze blows, bringing the smell of grass.

Li Quan sat alone in the wind and rain pavilion and pondered, his brows furrowed slightly, his face gloomy, and his gray hair on his sideburns fluttered restlessly in the wind. The wind and rain pavilion is built next to the lake, a few sparse old trees stand in front of you, and a withered yellow and decayed leaf lightly takes off the shackles of the branches, and flutters and falls wantonly.

"Whoosh!" a broad bean-sized stone slid through the air, hitting the fluttering leaves with precision, and the weak leaves instantly pierced and fell on the surface of the water, causing ripples.

"Uncle Quan, are you in a bad mood, have the leaves provoked you again?"

With a sweet voice, Su Kexin, who was dressed in a lilac dress, appeared in front of him, pursed her cherry-colored mouth, smiled, and her eyes formed a crescent shape. It's cute.

Li Quan came back to his senses when he heard this, quickly got up, and made a symbolic salute, "Why did the eldest lady come here?"

Su Kexin walked into the Wind and Rain Pavilion with his hands behind his back, and looked at Li Quan with a funny look, "What? Can you come?

A gust of wind blew, and the floral fragrance emanating from Su Kexin's body rushed into his nose, a little sweet. Li Quan frowned with some disgust, his attitude was still modest, "It's the old slave who lost his words, the eldest lady forgive me......"

"Miss Ben is magnanimous, forgive you this time. But Uncle Quan, what have you been up to lately? Can you tell me about it?"

"The eldest lady smiled, they were all trivial and coarse, and the old slave didn't dare to dirty your ears......"

“......”

At this time, Li Shijie, who was not far away, watched idly, the folding fan in his hand gently tapped his palm, his eyes were deep, his face was solemn, for some reason, he always felt that the scene of his cousin Su Kexin and the housekeeper Li Quan talking together was a little strange, as if it was incompatible with the entire villa.

What is wrong? Li Shijie couldn't help but muttered softly, completely ignoring that the person behind him was getting closer and closer to him, and when he reacted, that person was already only one step away from him, and turned around to defend himself, only to find that the person who came was Li Muyang.

Li Muyang's eyes were deep, and his brows furrowed slightly, "Do you think that with your vigilance, you can deal with the dangers that may occur at any time?"

Li Shijie smiled respectfully, "With my father's style, if you deliberately hide your steps, I'm afraid no one will be able to notice." ”

"When did you start complimenting me? It's not like you anymore. ”

Li Shijie was slightly stunned, and his right hand holding the handle of the fan was gradually soaked with sweat, but it returned to normal in an instant, "Then according to your meaning, are you still used to your son's repeated rebellious collisions before?"

Li Muyang snorted coldly, but did not pursue Li Shijie's rudeness, but looked in the direction of Su Kexin and Li Quan, and said as if he had no intention, "For my father, I see that you are uncomfortable when you see Kexin chatting with his subordinates, right?"

Li Shijie did not deny it, "It's really uncomfortable, Dad, forgive my son." Whether it's a steward or a servant, no matter how much power you allow him, it can only be a subordinate. Uncle Quan's behavior is like ......"

Li Muyang raised his eyebrows lightly, and glanced at Li Shijie with slanted eyes, "You want to say that he doesn't know the severity?"

"Uncle Quan is in a high position in the villa, it can be said that he has turned over the rain, even his son has to respect him for three points, but if you indulge him, I am afraid that one day it will climb on your head, and the scene will not be easy to clean up. ”

Li Muyang was surprised, he suddenly remembered that Li Zifeng had told him before that he wanted to clean up the family, he stared at Li Shijie tightly, but Li Zifeng's face appeared in front of him, and when Li Zifeng visited that day, there was inexplicable hatred for himself in his eyes, could it... Li Muyang was taken aback by his own thoughts. Under the beautiful sunshine, I shivered unconsciously.

After coming back to his senses, Li Muyang was a little annoyed that he had lost his mind, his brows were tightened, he took out a folded letter from his body and threw it to Li Shijie unceremoniously, and said in a deep voice, "It's useless to talk about this now, you better take a look at this! As a young owner, it is time for you to handle these things." ”

"Martial Arts Conference Invitation ......"

Li Shijie was distracted for a moment, as the organizer of the martial arts conference of the Hengshan faction, how could he not know who he was facing, his heart was full of bitterness, and his face was still indifferent, "Don't worry, this little thing is not difficult for me." ”

At a loss, Su Kexin trotted all the way, and Li Quan retreated at some point.

"Uncle, cousin. What are you talking about? so serious?"

Seeing Su Kexin rushing to the front with a smile, the faces of the father and son softened, Li Shijie nodded her nose with pity, and said funny, "The eldest lady is approachable, but it impresses Young Master Ben." ”

"Is that how approachable people are used?" Su Ke said angrily, "Don't think I don't understand anything. I just told Steward Li to do some rough work, and I felt uncomfortable when I saw his arrogant appearance. ”

A very ordinary sentence, Li Shijie felt an inexplicable chill, although there was a faint smile on the corner of his mouth, but the strong uneasiness in his heart poured out again, and Li Shijie squeezed the fan tightly.

......

Hengshan School Shang Qing Yuan

The candle flame crackled, sprinkling orange light, and behind the sandalwood bookcase, Ouyang Ze sat with his eyes closed, gently rubbing his temples with both hands. The hard work of the day made him a little tired. A dark guard stood hunched to the side.

The name of the secret guard is called Yu Hao, Yu Hao is the secret guard of Shang Qingyuan, directly obeying Ouyang Ze's orders, his tone is extremely strict, and he also knows the rules very well, the master does not speak, and he does not dare to speak at will, after a while, Ouyang Ze picked up the teacup and took a shallow sip, "The court has passed the word?"

The fundamental purpose of the martial arts conference is to investigate the strength of various sects, maintain the stability of the rivers and lakes, and coordinate the balanced interests of all parties.

"Yes, he said that he had been a little restless recently, so that the head of the sect could keep abreast of the movements of the Lingye Palace and Hongyuan Villa, and ...... Take care of your hands. ”

Yi Hao's voice was calm without the slightest emotion, but Ouyang Ze smacked a different taste from his words, sighed heavily, looked at the mountains of public on the table, and frowned, "What else?"

Yi Hao continued to reply, neatly, "The eldest prince has recently been very close to the Shen Hall Master of Yeyang City. ”

"Huh?" Ouyang Ze frowned. Shen Zhiping is the person in charge of Yeyang Chengtangkou, and the strength of the disciples in his hands is strong, and he is almost the third most powerful figure in the Hengshan faction. Li Zifeng has always been deeply loved by Shen Zhiping since he was a child, but now that he has been returned by the secret guard, then maybe the relationship between the master and nephew may be much closer than he thought!

"Hall Master Shen recently sent out a group of disciples to deliberately hide their traces and avoid our eyes and ears. ”

"Where are you going?"

"The secret guards are tracking, and they have all lost their traces near Hongyuan Villa......"

The secret guards who obey Ouyang Ze's orders have always been loyal. When you get any news, you will reply exactly what you want, without any personal feelings.

"Hongyuan Villa?" Ouyang Ze frowned, "Do you know the cause?"

"According to the secret line investigation of his subordinates, the cause is some gossip, all of which are about the life and origin of the eldest prince. ”

Ouyang Ze clenched the teacup, there has been a little turmoil about Li Zifeng's life experience recently, could it be that there is really something hidden in this? Ouyang Ze frowned, "It seems that many people are interested in Zifeng's life experience recently, and Shen Tianxiong, as the pavilion master of Mulin Pavilion, also came to inquire in person. ”

Yi Hao didn't dare to speak, he obviously noticed that Ouyang Ze's mood was a little wrong at this time.

After being silent for a long time, Yi Hao lowered his eyes, and finally couldn't help but tentatively ask, "Head, subordinates...... Do you need to look up the source ......of the rumors?

Ouyang Ze came back to his senses, temporarily shook off the disturbing speculation, and blurted out, "No need, let this go in advance." The tone was indifferent, and he couldn't see any emotion, "Where are Zifeng and Zining now?"

"According to the planned itinerary, they should be in the direction of Yujiang City now, and there is no other news from the secret guards around the eldest prince, so there should be nothing unusual. ”

"Send a few more of your capable men to protect them both secretly, and keep me informed of their journey. For the rest, strictly monitor the movements of the Lingye Palace!"

"Yes. ”

Yi Hao led the order to retreat, and the study suddenly fell into silence, Ouyang Ze looked at the tea leaves floating in the teacup, his fingers rhythmically tapped on the tabletop, and his eyes gradually deepened.
