Chapter 109: Secret Meeting
Getting rid of all tracking, Li Zifeng safely went to the direction of Torch Mountain, Torch Mountain is still some distance from Wei'an City, if you hurry up, it will take about two hours to travel,
The hooves of the horses were running, and a cool breeze was blowing, and the hair on his sideburns was dancing in the wind, and he needed to hurry up, and he needed to see them alive and brought to safety.
Two hours later, the sun set over the western mountains, the sunset glowed red, the autumn wind seemed to be stronger, and the horses slowly stopped, probably at the foot of Torch Mountain.
The autumn wind was whistling, bringing up the leaves and rattling, Li Zifeng couldn't help but shiver, wrapped his coat tightly, and vigilantly observed the surrounding environment.
On the way here, I inquired about the situation of Torch Mountain with the old farmer's house, and I heard that bandits who blocked the road and robbed Torch Mountain suddenly appeared in recent days, but I heard that this bandit never embarrassed the poor people, and even some people who couldn't open the pot took the initiative to go up the mountain.
This is interesting, could it be that those three people are robbers? Li Zifeng couldn't help but smile.
The closer he walked, the road under his feet gradually bumped, Li Zifeng simply dismounted, led the horse on foot, and when he arrived at the foot of Torch Mountain, he really jumped out of a few robbers who blocked the way, but his martial arts were far worse than Li Zifeng, and he was completely subdued by Li Zifeng, and he shrank aside and looked at Li Zifeng with some horror.
Li Zifeng was not polite, he directly took out the emerald green wrench and shook it in front of several people, "Shen Hongfei asked me to come to find the three brothers who broke off contact with him, do you know each other?"
Several people glanced at each other before they got up from the ground, and one of the leaders arched his hand at Li Zifeng, "I didn't expect it to be a guest, I was really offended by the recklessness just now." ”
"It doesn't matter. "Anyway, they had the upper hand, and they didn't hurt themselves in the slightest.
"Those three people are on this mountain, and Childe will follow me up the mountain. ”
Li Zifeng nodded, and followed the people up the mountain, and the three of them heard that Li Zifeng was coming, and they had also met Shen Hongfei, and they all looked happy and ran straight out of the room.
One of them was visibly excited, "Big... Senior brother?!"
It was already completely dark, and under the crackling firelight, listening to the strange and distant name, Li Zifeng was in a trance, and finally saw the face of the person who called him, "Nie Hao?"
Nie Hao was a disciple of Shen Zhiping of Qingsong Hall, and he and the other two disciples of Qingsong Hall were sent by Shen Zhiping to Li Zifeng's side to participate in the operation to destroy the rudder of Lingye Palace, but the other two were dead. Only he and two other disciples of the other sects, Zhuo Fei and Wangtianji, remained.
"Senior brother, I thought I would never see you again. Nie Hao, a seven-foot man, cried tears the moment he saw Li Zifeng, regardless of his image.
Li Zifeng held back the soreness in his eyes and supported his trembling body, "It's okay, it's okay." I'm here to take you back. ”
Nie Hao wiped his tears, Li Zifeng's affairs were all over the city, Nie Hao believed that Li Zifeng was innocent, but he had been suffering from the pursuit of the killers of Lingye Palace, and he couldn't show up, so he could only be in a hurry.
When everyone's mood stabilized, a man dressed in gray clothes and a bit of a scholarly temperament boiled hot water for a few people present, poured it into a black bowl one by one, the boiling water slowly rose with heat, and the smoked eyes were a little uncomfortable, and everyone sat around the stove, full of emotion.
The atmosphere fell silent, and Nie Hao couldn't sit still, "Senior brother, how are you doing lately?"
Li Zifeng's expression froze, followed his words, avoided some questions, and said, "Senior Uncle Shen thinks about you very much, and has been worried, but he can't find out your whereabouts, so..."
Nie Hao put down the water bowl, "Senior brother, I'm asking..."
"Nie Hao!" Li Zifeng interrupted Nie Hao's next words, his expression gloomy, "In the future, change that title! Just call me by name." ”
Even the most careless person can hear something else from Li Zifeng's words, Nie Hao's eyes widened, with the intention of breaking the casserole and asking to the end, "Isn't it because the head of the sect believes in your innocence that he let you go down the mountain to investigate?" It's been more than three years, isn't it ......?"
"Okay, can you say something else?" Zhuo Fei was on the side, he really couldn't listen to the drama of brotherhood, in the past three years, he was suffering from the pursuit of the Lingye Palace, and he couldn't return to the sect openly, and he was really irritable.
Zhuo Fei's words broke Li Zifeng's embarrassment, Li Zifeng glanced around at the other three people sitting at the round table, "Dare to ask...... Which one is Shen Xiang?"
The three of them were stunned for a moment, and a man dressed in gray who looked quite scholarly opposite Li Zifeng shook the water bowl and signaled, "I am." ”
This person is the same person who poured water on a few people just now.
"Brother Shen and I mentioned you. Li Zifeng said with a smile, "It's also a shame to say, I originally found Brother Shen to find out the reason why Lingye Palace chased and killed you. Qingsongtang has discovered Brother Shen's traces, and I guess that Brother Shen has some information in his hands that must not be leaked, so he has to search for him so painstakingly. ”
Shen Xiang and the others glanced at each other, as if they were struggling whether they could believe what Li Zifeng said, after all, what happened to him......
This kind of silence seemed to Nie Hao to be distrustful, and he couldn't help but say anxiously, "I know what Senior Brother is like, and I can definitely believe it, why are you still hesitating?"
Li Zifeng smiled helplessly, the title of 'senior brother' at this time sounded like a spell to him.
Shen Xiang hesitated for a long time, and finally decided to believe Li Zifeng's words for the time being, "That's a long story......
Hengshan School Shang Qing Yuan
Ouyang Ze frowned at a note on the table......
This official document is the news that has just been sent back by the captain of the shadow guard team, Heiyi, through the flying pigeon, and the above news makes Ouyang Ze restless: Li Zifeng is missing!
Ouyang Ze couldn't help but chuckle, he Li Zifeng was really capable, he could disappear under such strict surveillance by the shadow guard, and with the help of the Lingye Palace killer who had been following him.
Using the Lingye Palace killer to get rid of the shadow guard arranged by the sect, Ouyang Ze couldn't help but feel angry again in his heart, and his right hand squeezed the teacup tightly, as if he wanted to crush the teacup.
At this time, behind the printed screen in the study, a figure gradually became clear, it was Xu Pingshan, the captain of the secret guard, Xu Pingshan, with his keen aura, detected that Ouyang Ze's mood was not quite right, and he was hesitating to open his mouth to reply.
Ouyang Ze glanced over, his eyebrows and eyes were deep, a few days ago, he asked the captain of the dark guard, Xu Pingshan, to investigate the matter in Hongyuan Villa, but he didn't expect to make progress so quickly.
Originally, because of Li Zifeng's betrayal of the master, Ouyang Ze was still angry and unwilling to touch this matter too much, but the pressure from the imperial court forced the Hengshan faction to step up the investigation of the matter. Even if the Hengshan faction sits firmly in the top spot in the various martial arts sects, it is just a sect in the entire world, and under the authority of the Son of Heaven, there is no power to resist at all.
Ouyang Ze waved his hand, Xu Pingshan walked out from behind the screen, walked to Ouyang Ze and knelt on one knee, bowed and said, "Master." ”
Ouyang Ze raised his eyebrows lightly and motioned for Xu Pingshan to get up, "Is there any news about Hongyuan Villa?"
"Yes. Xu Pingshan stood up, his head bowed slightly, "The subordinates sent people to infiltrate Hongyuan Villa, according to investigation, the young owner Li Shijie and the owner Li Muyang have a bad relationship between father and son, Li Muyang once arranged a shadow guard for Li Shijie, named Floating Shadow, called protection, but it is actually surveillance. ”
Ouyang Ze seemed to have some impression of this person, and remembered that when he interrogated Shi Shanyi, who had broken into the sect and attempted to steal the treasure, he also mentioned the floating shadow, "Go on." ”
"There are several industries and shops under the name of Hongyuan Villa, and there always seem to be some unfamiliar faces coming in and out recently. As for the specific situation, the subordinates are still investigating. ”
"Anything else?"
"Just a few days ago, I don't know how Li Shijie knew about ....." When he was about to mention Li Zifeng again, Xu Pingshan suddenly hesitated, didn't know how to call it, and then changed his words, "A few days ago, I don't know where Li Shijie learned the news that you arranged for someone to go down the mountain to investigate, and specially arranged for someone to follow him." ”
"Stalking?" Ouyang Ze sneered, "I'm afraid it's protection, right? ”
Xu Pingshan bowed again, "As for other circumstances, my subordinates have arranged for people to stay behind and continue to investigate." ”
"You must keep an eye on it, without startling the snake, you must get the real evidence that they colluded with Lingye Palace!"
"My subordinates understand!"
