In the inner hall of the front courtyard of Xingwei Mansion, a distinguished guest came: Zhu Luofeng, the king of Qingping. Zhu Luofeng was dressed in a dark blue dark brocade robe, sitting in front of the tea table in the afternoon sun, making tea with great interest, and the blue and white porcelain plates were filled with delicate desserts, exuding aroma, with the slow spread of tea fragrance, which made people salivate.

There was a sound of footsteps on his side, and Zhu Luofeng looked sideways slightly, with an unpredictable smile on his face. It was Li Zifeng who walked in under the escort of the jailer, Li Zifeng was dressed in gray-blue coarse linen clothes, which was in stark contrast to Zhu Luofeng's delicate and generous brocade robe.

Zhu Luofeng waved his hand, and the two jailers retreated in amusement, and then he poured tea into the empty teacup opposite, and the tea poured down, causing ripples in the cup.

Although they have never met before, Li Zifeng still simply understood that Zhu Luofeng is ruthless, hiding a knife in his smile, he is gently toasting with you at this moment, maybe the next moment if he doesn't speak well, he will try his best to make you lose his life, or even wipe it out, just like pinching an ant to death.

"No need, sit down!" Zhu Luofeng saw that Li Zifeng was going to kneel down and salute, and he was very generous to avoid the salute.

"Thank you, Lord Wang. Li Zifeng was not polite at all, sat directly opposite Zhu Luofeng, generously took the teacup handed by Zhu Luofeng with both hands, and said indifferently, "Zifeng is stupid, dare to ask the prince if he has something to say." ”

Zhu Luofeng stared at Li Zifeng for a while, and said with a smile, "I have heard of Li Gongzi's name for a long time, and when I saw it today, I really didn't disappoint this king." Even if you are in prison, you can still face it calmly. ”

"The prince is exalted, Zifeng is just an ordinary person, not as godlike as the rivers and lakes. Li Zifeng took a sip of hot tea and continued, "Just like this cup of tea, it is fragrant in the mouth, but it can't escape its own bitterness. ”

"I really can't see that you still drink tea. Zhu Luofeng smiled appreciatively, and suddenly said with a serious expression, "Aren't you afraid that this king will poison this tea?"

Li Zifeng just paused slightly, and then met Zhu Luofeng's eyes without fear, "You won't." Zifeng is a prisoner pending execution, and with your bearing, you will never embarrass a death row inmate. Li Zifeng took a deep breath and said resolutely, "Besides, Zifeng has already died twice, and he is not afraid of dying a third time." ”

Zhu Luofeng frowned tightly and squeezed the teacup in his hand tightly. When the teacup was about to break, Zhu Luofeng let go of his hand, and then laughed, "Sure enough, it is the apprentice taught by Ouyang Ze, and he is thoughtful and does not lose his spirit." ”

Li Zifeng put down the teacup and looked at Zhu Luofeng calmly, he knew that Zhu Luofeng's words were not finished.

Zhu Luofeng continued, "I don't know if Master Li Zhuang regretted his impulsive move. Zhu Luofeng said, his eyes always wandering on Li Zifeng, as if he wanted to capture some emotion.

Li Zifeng smiled slightly, "The prince is really a person who cares about the world, and this little thing is kept in mind." Li Zifeng opened his mouth, as if he wanted to say something, "It's just ......"

"Oh, just what?" Zhu Luofeng suddenly became interested.

"Please also forgive me, Zifeng still has a lot of work to do today, otherwise, he won't be able to eat dinner again. ”

"Good. Zhu Luofeng nodded understandingly, "Then the king will make a long story short." ”

"Please also make it clear. Li Zifeng made a gesture of humility.

Zhu Luofeng's eyes deepened a little, and he said in a deep voice, "If this king gives you a chance to live, do you want it?"

Li Zifeng silently pinched the corners of his clothes, thinking in his heart about Zhu Luofeng's words, the chance to live? The emperor had no intention of killing him, and said to the outside world that he was a death row prisoner, but he was just temporarily controlling the Hengshan faction, and maybe there were other purposes, Li Zifeng had no way to think about it. It's just that now that Zhu Luofeng said this, it is worth thinking about.

After a few breaths, Li Zifeng smiled indifferently, "Zifeng is a pending death row prisoner named by His Majesty, and he can't bear the favor of the prince. If you provoke Long Yan's anger in order to survive, and then you will be affected, even if Zifeng is dead, he will not be at ease, and he will ask the prince to take back his life. ”

Zhu Luofeng frowned slightly, pinched the corner of the table with his hand, his eyes were dyed with a faint gloom, as if he was about to kill someone in the next moment, Li Zifeng held his breath and waited quietly.

After a long time, what was waiting for was Zhu Luofeng's smile with a knife, "Maybe Gongzi Li doesn't know yet, under heavy pressure, in order to protect himself, Ouyang Ze, the head of the Hengshan faction, and Shen Tianxiong, the master of the Mulin Pavilion, have each taken people out of Wei'an City, and your hidden spies have also lost news." You're just an outcast now. ”

Li Zifeng showed a full sense of loss on his face, but he breathed a long sigh of relief in his heart, so good, Ming Xiu plank road secretly crossed Chen Cang, it was nothing more than that, but the plan was a little risky. Li Zifeng picked up the hot tea, borrowed the heat of the tea to smoke his eyes, forcibly separated the water, and deliberately let Zhu Luofeng see it.

Looking at the water in Li Zifeng's eyes, Zhu Luofeng smiled with satisfaction, and Li Zifeng's purpose was achieved.

Zhu Luofeng continued, "In fact, according to the generation, this king should call you a cousin, the only thing you can rely on now is the Qingping Palace, otherwise, you can only be discarded." ”

Li Zifeng thought for a moment, "The prince is polite, I'm just a death row prisoner, and I'm not qualified to cling to the distant relatives of the Qingping Palace, and besides, I'm going to die sooner or later, so why bring you any more stigma..."

This sentence was said silently by Li Zifeng in his heart, he used his desperate and lost emotions to hide the determination and expectation in his eyes well, he pretended to be in a bad mood, and drank tea cup after cup.

When the air was stagnant, Zhu Luofeng's personal guard Chang Ning knocked on the door and called, "Lord Wang, Manager He has arrived." ”

Li Zifeng's eyes flashed, he was slightly surprised, and he secretly sighed in his heart that the chief manager of the inner house, Father-in-law Hesheng, came at a really good time.

Zhu Luofeng's expression eased, "Please." ”

He Sheng was dressed in a crimson inner chief costume, and walked in slowly, Li Zifeng hurriedly stood up and bowed politely, and after He Sheng bowed his head, he turned to Zhu Luofeng, "Slave and maid see the prince." ”

"Manager He doesn't have to be polite. Zhu Luofeng also stood up after drinking tea easily, took off Fang Cai's gloom, replaced it with a gentle smile, and said, "But there is a new will from my father?"

The chief manager of Ouchi came here to see Zhu Luofeng, presumably with the emperor's will, Li Zifeng suddenly felt that the atmosphere was a little strange, and he was uncomfortable, so he was about to leave with the jailer, but He Sheng seemed to be intending to let Li Zifeng hear it, and immediately said, "At the behest of Your Majesty, please invite the prince to enter the palace and discuss the matter of praying for blessings in Guangfang Temple with His Royal Highness the Prince." ”

Li Zifeng heard this as soon as he walked to the door, and his brows furrowed slightly. Zhu Luofeng didn't dare to delay after hearing this, and quickly followed He Sheng away, Li Zifeng stood aside and bowed his head slightly, looking at Zhu Luofeng's hurried figure, but inadvertently found that He Sheng looked back at him meaningfully.

When he was surprised, the jailer pushed him brutally, accompanied by a scolding voice in his ear, "Hurry up! Why are you stunned?! If you are not honest, I will put you in shackles and heavy shackles!"

Li Zifeng was not escorted back to the miscellaneous courtyard to work, but was sent directly to the cell, and when he was about to ask the reason, he saw Shang Pingrong from a distance, Shang Pingrong smiled deeply, "Yes, I came back alive." I thought I would get the news that you were executed on the spot for assassinating the prince in an attempt to escape from prison. ”

"It seems that there have been prisoners here who have been so bold before. Li Zifeng lowered his head and made a gesture that a prisoner should have in front of an official, "Shang Ge Ling, rest assured, although I am not afraid of death, I will spare my life." ”

Shang Pingrong said with a smile, "Li Gongzi's mouth is really powerful. However, you have spoken against the king of Qingping, and you have committed the crime, and you do not need to eat lunch or dinner today, but you have been thinking about it in the cell until the early morning of tomorrow. Shang Pingrong paused and continued, "The mouth will cause trouble for the body, Li Gongzi, be careful!"

With that, Shang Pingrong waved his hand, and the two sturdy jailers immediately pushed Li Zifeng into the cell. Li Zifeng looked at the locked cell door, and his inner doubts became even more obvious, what did Shang Pingrong mean by what he just said? What did He Sheng want to say?

Before he could think deeply, Shang Pingrong's cold voice came from outside, "He doesn't eat today, no matter how much trouble he makes, don't pay attention to him, he is just a death row prisoner, and he can't be anxious with him." "Yes!"

Listening to the silence outside, Li Zifeng always felt that Shang Pingrong seemed to be deliberately prompting something, he searched every corner of the cell, and finally saw wire, keys and a jailer's waist card under the straw pile in the corner!
