Pushing open the door of Yuntian Pavilion's study, Ouyang Ze was sitting in front of the bookcase flipping through the official documents, and when he heard the sound of the door, he glanced up.

Li Zifeng showed a clear smile, bowed slightly, and saluted, "Master." ”

Ouyang Ze smiled and motioned him to come in, poured a cup of tea casually, the hot tea exuded a faint fragrance, Li Zifeng was not polite, pulled a chair casually, and sat next to Ouyang Ze, after many years of getting along with master and apprentice, many times he no longer cares about these cumbersome etiquette, but becomes closer to nature.

Ouyang Ze's eyebrows were soft and he smiled, "The task is complete?"

"This is natural, otherwise the apprentice would not have the face to come back to see you, Master. Li Zifeng took a sip of tea gently, and the fragrance of tea overflowed between his lips and teeth, and he was refreshed.

Ouyang Ze was about to open his mouth to say something, when a gust of wind blew around him, Ouyang Ze raised his eyebrows, "Shadow Guard?"

Li Zifeng's hand holding the teacup paused slightly, and Ying Wei Shen Yu was sent by himself to Hongyuan Villa to monitor the movements, and the most recent thing was that Li Quan investigated his life experience, but the master was in his study again.

As a shadow guard, Shen Yu has always acted in concealment, what is the urgency that makes Shen Yu disregard the etiquette and come directly to his study in broad daylight?

Ouyang Ze glanced at the door lightly, his expression was as usual, "If there is something urgent, let him report it first, the teacher just wants to chat with you for a few words, and it is not a big matter." ”

Li Zifeng glanced at Ouyang Ze with some embarrassment, and then at the figure hidden behind the screen, and finally gritted his teeth, "Come out!"

Shen Yu walked from behind the screen to the two of them and knelt on one knee, "The master, the eldest son." ”

"Get up and talk!"

Shen Yu got up in response, "Hongyuan Villa, there is a new movement. ”

"Oh?" Before Li Zifeng could speak, Ouyang Ze responded and looked at Shen Yu, "What happened?"

"It's still the housekeeper Li Quan. Last time he investigated the life history of his son, the scroll was snatched by his subordinates, he thought that this matter was over, but he never thought that Li Quan suddenly came out in the middle of the night last night and saw a man in black, and he was respectful to him, and his subordinates listened to their conversation, it seemed that the black-clothed person was a person from Lingye Palace, and in Lingye Palace, his status was not low. ”

Lingye Palace. This name made Ouyang Ze and Li Zifeng look stunned, although they had already known that Hongyuan Villa was involved with Lingye Palace.

Ouyang Ze gently twisted the teacup and played with it in his hand, looking unintentional, "What did they say, did you hear it?"

The subordinates were far away, and only heard a few fragmentary words, guessing that they might be to continue to investigate the life of the eldest prince. ”

It's Zifeng's life experience again... Ouyang Ze frowned and continued to ask, "What else?"

For some reason, Li Zifeng suddenly had a strong bad premonition in his heart, his fingers tightened because of nervousness, slightly whited, and looked solemnly at the heavy rain in front of him.

Shen Yu continued to reply, "Later, my subordinates saw Li Shijie blocking him at the gate of Li Quan and threatening him not to investigate the eldest prince. ”

Li Zifeng's knuckles snapped, Ouyang Ze glanced at Li Zifeng sideways, did not speak, but the emotions in his eyes became more and more complicated.

Zifeng ...... What does it have to do with Li Shijie? The son of Hongyuan Villa, why do you want to protect him?

As for the rest, the subordinates do not know. ”

Li Zifeng stroked the tea case, sighed quietly, and said softly, "You go down first!"

Shen Yu received the order, and soon withdrew from the door, and only Ouyang Ze and Li Zifeng were left in the room. Li Zifeng knew that the master must have been somewhat suspicious in his heart at this time, but neither of them spoke, and the silent atmosphere became more and more tense.

"I came to you for the teacher to discuss with you about holding a martial arts conference. After hesitating for a long time, Ouyang Ze finally spoke, not caring about the matter at all, "The martial arts conference is about to be held, it is organized by our Hengshan faction, and I want to hand over this matter to you under the will of the teacher." ”

Li Zifeng's expression suddenly became solemn.

The martial arts conference is a big gathering of people in the rivers and lakes once in many years, all kinds of gang forces, strong and weak gangless knights, will leave aside the busy matters at hand, to participate in this martial arts conference, not only to meet and know each other, the most exciting focus, is the competition between the major masters.

Because the martial arts conference has a wide range and a large number of people, the preparatory matters in the early stage are quite heavy. Ouyang Ze pondered for a long time and continued, "Call your second master disciple Ning to go down the mountain with you, so that I can be a helper for you." You can do the little things yourself. ”

"The disciple must fulfill the important task entrusted by the master. Li Zifeng saluted in a proper manner, and when he looked up, he saw Ouyang Ze looking at him inquiringly, his heart was shocked, and he looked away with a weak heart, "By the way, Master, I went down the mountain to protect the prince this time, and I found that the people of Lingye Palace were also involved." ”

Ouyang Ze frowned, "Ling Ye Palace?"

Why is there a Lingye Palace everywhere? In the Fangcai Hongyuan Villa, the Lingye Palace also colluded with it, and even the prince appeared in Yeyang City, could it be that there was also the promotion of the Lingye Palace?

Li Zifeng's next words dispelled Ouyang Ze's doubts.

"Not long after the prince appeared in Yeyang City, he was targeted by the people of Lingye Palace, and I brought some people from Uncle Shen to save the prince. Li Zifeng paused slightly and continued, "Lingye Palace sent more than a dozen dead soldiers, fearing that they would be arrested and tortured and the secrets would be revealed, and they all committed suicide by taking poison. But when I fought with one of them, he said that he didn't want to hurt the prince, but just invited him to the Lingye Palace to discuss with the palace master. ”

"I'm afraid that I am taking people hostage, and it is appropriate to use threats. Ouyang Ze snorted coldly, "What about after that?"

"Later, when the disciple escorted the prince back to Wei'an City, he was surrounded by people from the Lingye Palace on the way, but fortunately, the disciple paid attention in advance and asked Qingying to escort him in the open, and I secretly followed. I stoned some of the dead men's sleeping holes, and they all fainted. Now he took the poisoning kit and sent it to Elder Su Yan for interrogation. ”

Ouyang Ze nodded, "The people of Lingye Palace seem to be quite active recently, I don't know what they are planning, the martial arts conference is also imminent, it is inevitable that the teachers are worried that the people of Lingye Palace will also come to this martial arts conference to get involved, you still need to take strict precautions, and ......"

Ouyang Ze looked straight into Li Zifeng's eyes, his gaze was scorching, and Li Zifeng could only secretly clench his fingers.

"Zifeng is also old, you can make your own decisions about many things, but as a teacher, I don't want you to have the slightest concealment on some major issues of right and wrong. ”

Li Zifeng's heart was empty, cold sweat appeared on his forehead, knowing that the master's words meant that he had noticed the incident of his life experience, he felt a burst of bitterness, tried to stabilize his breathing, and gritted his teeth, "Disciple understands." ”

Ouyang Ze got up from his seat and stood with his back to Li Zifeng, his voice deep, "There is nothing else to do, I still have something to do for the teacher." You can rest for a few days first, and then go down the mountain to deal with it in a few days. ”

After sending Ouyang Ze away, Li Zifeng went directly to Xu Zining's room and explained the martial arts conference that the master had just entrusted with him, and Xu Zining readily agreed.

Since Xu Zining's identity was known to Li Zifeng, and after experiencing the Qinglou turmoil, the attitude between the two has changed subtly, Xu Zining and Li Zifeng got along with each other, they were more cautious, and Li Zifeng was also quite helpless. He hoped to take the opportunity of the two of them to go down the mountain together to prepare.

If Xu Zining's identity is exposed, I am afraid that he will lose this junior brother, so if his identity is exposed, what will be the master's reaction... Li Zifeng didn't continue to think about this idea, took a pen and paper in Xu Zining's room, sharpened the ink, and wrote down the trivial things to prepare.

"The owners of these major mountain villas, we have to invite them in person. Li Zifeng's eyes fell on his ink, and he said softly, "The last time I saw such a scene, I was holding Master's hand when I was young, but I never thought that now I am personally preparing it, but I don't know if there will be such an opportunity in the future." ”

Li Zifeng's tone had a faint loneliness, and Xu Zining's heart tightened for no reason.

"Senior Brother is the person who wants to be the head of the Hengshan faction, so naturally he can participate in many conferences in the future, why is this difficult?"

Li Zifeng just smiled bitterly, shook his head slightly, and looked out the window. Suddenly, two white geese, one large and one small, passed by the window, but they disappeared in the blink of an eye, and the house was full of verdant greenery, and there was no one outside.

"Okay, senior brother, don't talk about these things that are not there. Let's check the list of gangs to be invited. Xu Zining set his eyes on the rice paper, "Qingyang Villa, the owner of Qingyang Villa, has always been friendly with the Hengshan faction, so he naturally wants to be invited, and there are other ......."

Xu Zining read out many names in a row, and Li Zifeng wrote them down carefully and added some more.

The two discussed some details again, it was already a little dark, Li Zifeng had not eaten since he came back from Yeyang City, he would have been hungry, so he hurriedly said goodbye and returned to his house.
