Chapter 101: Exploration
"It's here!" Qingyun shouted happily, Li Zifeng noticed that he was distracted all the way, and Qingyun also dragged himself to the residence.
The miscellaneous courtyard is the most remote place in Shangqing Garden, and usually no one comes over at all, but today, there are many more people in black around his residence, and it seems that there are more than a dozen.
Ouyang Ze really invested a lot of money for himself, and the financial resources and time for the cultivation of these dozen shadow guards are probably not a few, and Ouyang Ze is really willing to do it!
When Li Zifeng pulled Qingyun into the courtyard, a black-clothed shadow guard stepped forward to stop him and saluted respectfully, "Childe." ”
Li Zifeng frowned slightly, and glanced lightly, "You don't have to be so polite, you have something to say." ”
This shadow guard had never seen it before, so he simply glanced at it, and the two shadow guards who had followed him before, Piaoyun and Shen Yu, were not among them.
"We are here to assist Childe in the investigation on the orders of the master, if Childe has any orders, just open your mouth, considering that there are quite a lot of shadow guards, you will make me the captain of this team, and Childe can call me black. ”
Dressed in black, it really fits their attire, Li Zifeng's eyes were cold, "Got it." ”
Li Zifeng didn't have a good impression of them, so he said a few perfunctory words of politeness and entered the house. After washing, I went to sleep.
"Uncle. Qingyun got up from the bed, his black eyes were shining, and his two little hands were on the side of the bed, looking at Li Zifeng in his false sleep.
Li Zifeng was physically and mentally exhausted, and he really didn't have the energy to coax the child to tell a story tonight, closed his eyes, raised his tired arm and touched Qingyun's little shoulder, "Uncle is tired and wants to sleep." ”
"Okay!" Qingyun sat at the foot of the bed in a daze, and after a while, he also lay back.
Early the next morning
Li Zifeng woke up from his sleep slowly, and when he came out of the house, he was still a little stunned when he saw the shadow guards standing full, and then he reacted to the events of last night, and the sleepiness on his face that had not faded was also a little sober.
"Black. Li Zifeng called softly.
The black cloth leaned over and was respectful, "What do you have to say?"
Li Zifeng coughed lightly, "I heard the head of the sect say yesterday that the people of Lingye Palace seem to be chasing someone...... Do you know? You might as well tell me in detail, if you don't know, I'll go and ask the people in Qingsongtang on my own. ”
Speaking of Qingsong Hall, Li Zifeng couldn't help but think of Uncle Shen Zhiping, who treated him very well, I don't know if Uncle Shen is still in Qingsong Hall now, and what kind of mood he will feel when he knows that he has encountered this.
"The subordinates know. The black clothes nodded, and Su Su said, "I heard that the killers sent by the Lingye Palace at that time wanted to kill Shen Hongfei and his party, but I didn't think that a few people would resist desperately, and the remaining few people escaped from the attack. ”
Six people. Li Zifeng suppressed the excitement in his heart, which coincided with the return of the clouds back then, Shen Hongfei and his party, there were really six people alive. But... If the six of them are together, it is too conspicuous.
Seeing Li Zifeng's entangled expression, the black clothes also guessed what he was thinking, paused, and added, "These six people are not all gathered together, some walk alone, some are in twos and threes, and the specific location of Qingsong Hall can't be completely investigated, I only heard that the traces of two people in Yeyang City are a little suspicious." ”
Li Zifeng raised his eyes and met the black-clothed gaze, "Then let's go to Yeyang City today, Qingsong Hall should also send someone to follow and keep an eye on it, right?"
The black cloth lowered his head and staggered Li Zifeng's searching gaze, "Yes." ”
After Li Zifeng washed and changed clothes, a row of shadow guards had already been completely arranged, Qingyun opened his dark eyes, and grabbed the corner of Li Zifeng's clothes with his small hand, "Uncle, where are you going?"
"Uncle has something to do when he goes out, so Qingyun obediently stays in the mountains. Li Zifeng always looked gentle when facing Qingyun, touched Qingyun's head, and Qingyun also obediently spread his hand, telling Uncle to be careful on the road.
I haven't ridden a horse for a long time, and when I stepped on the horse, I was still a little sudden, but fortunately, I quickly adapted to the feeling of bumps, and led a group of people down the mountain, which was too conspicuous in Yeyang City, and the shadow guards who had already changed into civilian clothes in black were scattered, leaving only myself secretly following near Li Zifeng.
After two laps in Yeyang City, Li Zifeng finally decided to go to Qingsong Hall first.
Stepping into Yunxuan Pharmacy, everything was as usual, the faint smell of herbs, the sound of cutting herbs, and the busy medicine boy, Li Zifeng walked straight to Qingsong Hall on the path, the waiter who led the way was always respectful, and the disciples who occasionally passed by also bowed their heads respectfully when they saw Li Zifeng.
It wasn't until he entered the Qingsong Hall and walked into Shen Zhiping's study that Li Zifeng came out of the fugue, Shen Zhiping seemed to have been waiting for a long time, and when they saw the familiar faces, both of them were stunned, and Shen Zhiping, who had always been calm and calm, also had slightly red eyes.
According to his age, Li Zifeng is only in his early twenties, and he hasn't been seen for a long time, his face is much older and haggard, and he has no heroic spirit on his body, how can Shen Zhiping not feel distressed?
After the waiter who led the way retreated, Li Zifeng suddenly pulled the corner of his clothes and bowed, "Disciple to meet uncle." ”
Shen Zhiping was stunned, and took a few steps to pull up Li Zifeng, his voice trembled a little, "Zifeng, what are you doing, how can you make such a big gift?"
Li Zifeng insisted on kneeling, his eyes were full of tears, his head was slightly lowered, and he didn't dare to look at Shen Zhiping's eyes, "The disciple is not filial, and he was responsible for your own selfish desires back then." ”
Shen Zhiping silently wiped away the tears from the corners of his eyes, "It's okay, you can do it well." With that, he pulled Li Zifeng up with his hand and sat down, and instructed the waiter to bring some delicate snacks and hot tea.
Li Zifeng just glanced at it lightly, he didn't have much appetite, he was willing to call the person in front of him uncle, but he was no longer willing to call Ouyang Ze Master in person. Even if he wanted to, he would have lost that identity long ago.
Li Zifeng straightened his face and said, "Senior uncle, the disciple is here to do something." ”
"What's the matter?" If Li Zifeng had something to entrust him, Shen Zhiping would definitely try his best to help.
"It's... The head of the house assigned, saying that there have been some movements in the Lingye Palace recently, and it is about the extermination team back then, and the head of the house ordered me to find out the truth, and by the way, to explore and eradicate the headquarters of the Lingye Palace, and also said......"
He also said that if the task is completed, the past will be no longer to blame. This sentence was silently recited by Li Zifeng in his heart, even if Ouyang Ze was not to blame in the past, I am afraid that he will not have that heart.
Thinking of this, Li Zifeng lowered his eyes
Shen Zhiping didn't ask Li Zifeng what he didn't say next, he knew the pain in Li Zifeng's heart, he was a little worried, and helplessly blamed Ouyang Ze for his ruthlessness, Li Zifeng now has no former identity, and he is weak, how can he compete with the ruthless thieves in Lingye Palace?
"You came to me to inquire about the news? Recently, Qingsongtang did inquire about the movements of Shen Hongfei and others, saying that there were two people in Yeyang City, and I also sent people to follow, and every other hour there were disciples to report their movements. Shen Zhiping took a sip of hot tea, "You wait here, there should be a disciple to report it." ”
Li Zifeng grabbed the corner of his clothes with his fingers, answered, and wanted to say something, but there were footsteps outside the door.
"It's coming. Shen Zhiping chuckled lightly and called the disciples outside the door to come in.
"Hall Master. "The person who came was Ye Li, a disciple that Shen Zhiping directly picked from the door at the beginning. Ye Li bowed slightly, looked up and saw that Li Zifeng was also here, his eyes were obviously shocked, and he opened his mouth, as if he was hesitating to call him or not.
"Not necessarily. Li Zifeng raised his hand to stop him before he could speak. I was a little scared to hear the title of the past.
"Where are they now?" The atmosphere was slightly embarrassed, Shen Zhiping asked, but his eyes were still a little worried at Li Zifeng on the side.
"Back to the hall master, they are now in the fan building in Yeyang City. Ye Li bowed slightly, "I have already notified the nearby disciples to keep an eye on it, but it is not good to blend into the fan building, after all, it is ......"
Ye Li didn't continue to say the next words, and the two of them understood it. The fan building is not an ordinary green building, if you rashly send disciples to follow, it will inevitably be discovered by the masters, leading to incidents.
"It's okay, you take Zifeng to the fan building. Shen Zhiping nodded towards Li Zifeng on the side.
"The disciple obeyed. ”
