Zhu Xingzhan held the white zi, Ouyang Ze held the black zi, and he walked very cautiously in a game of chess, Zhu Xingzhan was light and light, and Ouyang Ze held his breath and concentrated. The tea on the side has been changed twice by the waiter.

Looking at it, black and white are evenly divided, Ouyang Ze looked at the few chess pieces in the chess box, and finally stopped moving, and the hand holding the black son was already soaked with sweat, as if he had been pondering for a long time without success.

Zhu Xingzhan fell into Baizi, looking at the situation, Baizi has temporarily gained the upper hand compared to Heizi. Zhu Xingzhan calmly took a sip of warm tea and looked at the sky outside, "Master Ouyang has no time to hesitate anymore. ”

Ouyang Ze was stunned, and after thinking for a while, he simply put the sunspot in his hand back into the chess box, stood up and saluted Zhu Xingzhan, Zhu Xingzhan seemed puzzled, "What does Master Ouyang mean?"

Ouyang Ze kept his posture unchanged and replied, "Your Majesty's chess skills are exquisite, no one can do it, even if you go all out, I'm afraid that in the end, you will still be one step behind." ”

Zhu Xingzhan looked at Ouyang Ze deeply, the chess game did not come to the end, and the outcome was undecided, but Ouyang Ze looked at the last move with speculation, and did not win or lose in the chess game, and did not deliberately draw the game. Zhu Xingzhan sighed secretly in his heart: sure enough, it didn't leak, and then smiled deeply, "Master Ouyang is too cautious and modest. ”

Ouyang Ze bowed slightly, arched his hand, and said, "Everything is in the hands of Your Majesty, and the subordinates dare not have any other ideas except for caution." Although Ouyang Ze was eager to see Li Zifeng, he couldn't show it too clearly on his face, he looked at the criss-crossing chessboard layout, and continued, "The last few steps are still up to Your Majesty to decide. ”

Zhu Xingzhan stared at Ouyang Ze, smiling rather than smiling, "Then it depends on whether the head of Ouyang is willing to give up the treasure in his hand." ”

Ouyang Ze's brows tightened......

The sky was slightly bright, and the autumn wind slipped in through the iron railing of a narrow window, making the already cold cell even more chilly, Li Zifeng dragged the shackles, leaned against the cold stone brick wall on one side, and watched the dead leaves slowly falling, his mood was extremely heavy, ten days later, I don't know how many people will die quietly like this dead leaves.

There was a loud sound of unlocking outside the door, Li Zifeng came back to his senses slightly, but he didn't turn around, just pulled the chain, pretended to stretch his waist easily, and said lazily, "Shang Ge Ling is a little early today." ”

There was no cold answer from Shang Pingrong behind him, let alone the sound of putting down the dishes and chopsticks, only a deep sigh, full of a lot of sadness and helplessness. Li Zifeng was slightly stunned, and his heartbeat was faster.

Li Zifeng exhaled deeply, turned to look at the person, the moment his eyes met, Li Zifeng's emotions surged into his heart, and just when he was about to explode, he was pressed down by him again, he took two steps forward, landed on his knees, and kowtowed deeply, "Disciple is not filial, please come to this kind of place." ”

After a few days of suffering, Ouyang Ze finally met Li Zifeng as he wished.

Ouyang Ze stepped forward and grabbed Li Zifeng, holding the shackles that locked Li Zifeng's wrist tightly, "That day, I waited all night for the teacher, just to wait for you to come back safely to recover your life, but I didn't expect to wait for the news that you were seriously injured and imprisoned." But luckily, you're still alive. How's the wound going? Does it still hurt?"

Li Zifeng's eyes were red, his brows were not raised, and after hesitating for a while, he gently brushed away Ouyang Ze's hand that was holding him, and took a step back, "Master, you shouldn't have come." Not to meet, it's good for all of us. ”

Ouyang Ze was slightly displeased, "Wherever you go is the freedom of the teacher, how can you arrange it?"

"A disciple is just the son of your enemy, and he doesn't deserve to be like this. Li Zifeng said fearlessly, and knelt down again, "Disciple, you should expel the disciple from the sect!"

"What are you talking about?" Ouyang Ze was incredulous, judging from Li Zifeng's expression, it didn't look like he was joking.

Li Zifeng replied calmly, "The rules of the Hengshan faction, the first article of the second item, if you deviate from the path and violate the laws of the Liang Jing Dynasty, you will be expelled from the mountain gate immediately and never re-enter." ”

After many days of tormented waiting, coupled with the pain of cutting love with Zhu Xingzhan just now, in exchange for Li Zifeng's determination to ignore his feelings, Ouyang Ze was angry in his heart, "Senior brother, this rule is well memorized. ”

Li Zifeng trembled, and every time he shouted the title of 'Senior Brother' from Ouyang Ze's mouth, he was already extremely angry. He looked up at Ouyang Ze, and sure enough, Ouyang Ze's face was a little gloomy.

He opened his mouth and called tentatively, "Master......"

"Shut up!" Ouyang Ze interrupted him mercilessly, "The action at Shi Qingshan's feet is an order for the division. Li Zifeng, do you mean that as a teacher, you should also admit the rules of the door, and ask the old master to expel me from the mountain gate?"

Li Zifeng was taken aback, he only thought that the sect would not be implicated by himself, so he absolutely wanted to break away from the relationship, but in a hurry, he thought of this level, and then took two steps on his knees, "That's not what the disciple meant!"

Ouyang Ze continued, "Since the opening of the Hengshan faction, there has never been a situation where the same person has been expelled from the division twice, and you are not allowed to set this precedent for the teacher!" Ouyang Ze said loudly.

"Why bother?" Li Zifeng knelt down and sat down, sighed slightly, and said, "What the master said is right, the disciple has brought trouble to the master three times and twice after all. ”

When Li Zifeng was picked up by Ouyang Ze at the age of seven, because of amnesia, the old master Ouyang Tian once said that his origin was unknown and his background was suspicious, and he would one day bring trouble to the sect. It was Ouyang Ze who insisted on staying despite opposition, so he had a three-year appointment with Ouyang Ze, but fortunately, Li Zifeng lived up to Ouyang Ze's expectations.

Ouyang Ze let Li Zifeng kneel, but his tone softened, "Your master said something else, do you want to hear it?"

Li Zifeng raised his head, looked at Ouyang Ze in a daze, and asked, "What?"

"A hundred years later, your bones will also be buried in the mausoleum of the successive heads of the Hengshan faction. Ouyang Ze sighed slightly, and looked at Li Zifeng distressedly, "Your ancestor said that the Hengshan faction will never give up on you." ”

The mausoleum is the last shelter of the heads of the Hengshan faction in the past dynasties, the tomb is simple and simple, and the cemetery is planted with trees, which is intended to shelter in the shade and quiet, and no longer disturb all things. It was named 'Linglin'.

Two lines of tears slowly flowed, he originally thought that Ouyang Tian would be like when his life experience was exposed, saying that everything was in the interests of the Hengshan faction, and it would be decided when it was decided. Now it seems that the ancestor, who has always been moody and angry, will also retain a family affection in the interests and reputation pursued by the sect.

Master Ouyang Tian went from being full of doubts about himself to completely approving himself, and Li Zifeng spent fifteen years.

Li Zifeng came back to his senses, wiped his tears, was a little uncertain, and asked tentatively, "Master, do you really say that?"

Ouyang Ze was laughed at angrily, "If you openly question the elders, you will be punished." ”

Ouyang Ze didn't make up this passage to comfort Li Zifeng, in fact, in Ouyang Tian's reply to Ouyang Ze, he not only said the above words, but also another sentence, but because of the environment, Ouyang Ze was inconvenient to say that it was Ouyang Tian's death order to him: no matter what, he must also bring Li Zifeng back to the mountain safely.

Half of the time for the meeting between the master and apprentice has passed, Ouyang Ze stepped forward and dragged Li Zifeng up, "Xing Wei Mansion has the rules of Xing Wei Mansion, and there is only one stick of incense for the teacher, and now that half of the time has passed, you still have to waste time here, if you have anything to say, hurry up." Don't let the teacher come for a trip. ”

Li Zifeng packed up his emotions and thought for a long time, since he met Emperor Zhu Xingzhan, he once again carefully thought about the cause and effect of the whole thing, and after thinking about it a few times, he finally remembered something.

Zhu Xingzhan said that some people found that the killer who attacked and killed the officers and soldiers used the Hengshan faction swordsmanship, even if he really did it, it would not be so obvious. Furthermore, if someone discovers, who is the person who discovers?

Thinking of this, Li Zifeng walked to Ouyang Ze's side and whispered in his ear, "There is a traitor colluding with Hongyuan Villa." ”

Ouyang Ze's brows tightened, he had also thought about this possibility, how could the officers and soldiers arrive at the places where the heads were imprisoned so punctually to encircle and suppress the actions at the foot of Shi Qingshan that night, unless someone reported the news.

Later, he blatantly used the swordsmanship of the Hengshan faction, which was clearly framed, no wonder the emperor questioned whether the Hengshan faction had different intentions. Ouyang Ze looked at Li Zifeng and asked, "Who was the person who stabbed you that night?"

Li Zifeng opened his mouth, hesitated for a while, and then replied lightly, "Li Shijie." ”

"No wonder. Ouyang Ze nodded, "These days, Hongyuan Villa has suffered a lot of losses. It's just that this is the next thing......" Ouyang Ze's eyes became fierce, and if he didn't get rid of the traitor, he was afraid that he would cause a big mess again.

After a few moments, Ouyang Ze's expression eased, and then without saying a word, he reached out and pulled up the corner of Li Zifeng's clothes to check the wound, only to see that the wound on his abdomen was tightly bandaged with a white cloth, and there was no blood oozing.

Li Zifeng was caught off guard, holding his abdomen and retreating again and again, "Master, don't worry, the wound is no longer in the way." ”

Ouyang Ze was angry and funny, and said angrily, "Indeed, for the sake of the teacher, you are very good now, if you are not imprisoned here, you can jump up and down again, picking fruits and revealing tiles." ”

Jumping up and down, picking fruits and revealing tiles? Li Zifeng's face was full of black lines, and he was not a monkey.

Ouyang Ze was a little relieved at the same time, but also a little sad and lost, if this was before, Li Zifeng would definitely cover his wound and say to himself: The apprentices are all injured like this, Master, are you distressed? After all, you are still estranged.

The work of a stick of incense passed quickly, and it was not until the jailer came over and brutally reminded that the time was up, Ouyang Ze came back to his senses, walked out of the low cell door, looked back at Li Zifeng again, and admonished, "Zifeng, remember what the master told you, you are fine, don't think about it." ”

Li Zifeng nodded solemnly, "Don't worry." ”

The cell door slammed shut, and the sound of chains locking was heard from outside. Li Zifeng stood silently for a while before he walked to the shabby wooden table and sat down, rubbing his sore eyes.
