Li Zhi didn't know how long he had been kneeling, but he felt a sore back and numb arms. And the clouds and rain that were holding him still didn't mean to let go, Li Zifeng sat in front of him and didn't ask any more questions.

After another half an hour, his shoulders were really sore and unbearable, Li Zhi wanted to move, but his body was unsurprisingly depressed by the clouds and rain, making his whole body stiff.

Li Zifeng fumbled with the cup and drank a sip of water casually, then sighed slightly, "Tired?" The voice was low, there was no smile at the corner of his mouth, and he couldn't hear joy or anger for a while, Li Zhi only felt that his body couldn't help but tremble again.

The sky outside changed slightly, a dense cloud obscured the originally blue sky, a gust of wind blew in, the windows creaked, the leaves of a few pots of green plants swayed with the wind, and the house suddenly became much cooler.

Li Zhi opened his dry mouth, "Two... Second young master, the old slave said everything he should say, do you see if it is, I have other things to do in Wei'an City, if it is delayed. ”

Li Zifeng slammed the cup on the table lightly and heavily, making a crisp sound, "Something else?" are you waiting to meet Chang Ning, the guard of King Qingping?"

Whether Li Zhi said the truth or not, Li Zifeng has no way to verify, but one thing is certain, the behind-the-scenes owner of Tianhe Teahouse is Zhu Luofeng, the king of Qingping, and a person with Li Zhi's status is impossible to contact easily, and the only thing he can contact is Zhu Luofeng's guard Chang Ning.

Assuming that Li Zhifang was telling the truth, it would definitely be something missing, and it would not be so easy for the firewood room in the backyard of Tianhe Teahouse to respond. They were almost confused by Li Zhi's words.

Li Zhi trembled, his eyes flickered a little, "What do you say, I ......"

"I don't understand, do you?" Li Zifeng's mouth rose slightly, and he pinched the blind cane tighter and tighter, "Uncle Zhi, I was taken care of by you when I was a child, and I kept these feelings in my heart, so I didn't want to use the same means as other killers to deal with you, if you are obsessed, then don't blame me for not saving face." ”

When the words landed, a stone flew over Li Zhi's head, deeply embedded in the wall behind him, a strand of hair slowly fell, Li Zhi's eyes suddenly widened, and he didn't even see how Li Zifeng made a move.

"Second Young Master!" Li Zhi struggled to no avail, and said with a little sadness, "You also know, I don't have any skills, I just want to live well, I am a servant, except for doing things according to the master's orders, what else can I do?"

"Because if you want to live well, do you have to give up the original stable life of others? Those who were captured by you, as well as their families, why don't they want to live well?!" Li Zifeng frowned, his impression of Li Zhi should not be like this.

Hongyuan Villa is really a terrible place, he was suddenly glad that he was forced off the cliff by Li Muyang, even if he died, it was better than becoming a puppet in Li Muyang's hands.

"What nonsense are you kid talking about him?!Just do him! This time is also one less scourge!" Shen Hongfei rolled up his sleeves and grabbed Li Zhi's neck. Li held his breath, his face flushed.

"Brother Shen!" Li Zifeng snorted, and Shen Hongfei let go hatefully. Li Zhi coughed violently.

Li Zifeng waved his hand, the clouds and rain also let go, and Li Zhi, who had lost his restraints, sat down paralyzed as if he had fallen apart, Li Zifeng sighed heavily, containing endless disappointment, "Let's go!"

Shen Hongfei was stunned, and Li Quan was even more stunned, "You... Let me go?"

"What's the matter, are you still waiting for me to invite you to a meal before leaving?" Li Zifeng stood up and turned his back to him, "Let's go!"

Li Zhi was stunned for a while, then stood up and patted the dust on his body, turned around and prepared to leave, just as he was about to open the door, Li Zifeng said calmly, "Uncle Zhi, this is the last time I will call you that, if you can see Li Shijie, help me bring him a message." ”

"What words?" Li Zhi's heart jumped.

"Turning back is the shore, and when Hongyuan Villa is destroyed, he can still leave his life. Li Zifeng walked to the window, as if he wanted to see through the seemingly peaceful scene outside, and for the first time, he felt countless tiredness from the bottom of his heart.

Li Zhi was slightly stunned, opened his mouth, and stopped talking. It wasn't until Li Zhi disappeared in front of him that Shen Hongfei came back to his senses and said resentfully, "You just let him go, aren't you afraid that he will go back to tell the truth?"

Li Zifeng shook his head, and Shen Hongfei said anxiously, "What do you mean by shaking your head? Qingyun is still in their hands, don't you want to save him? Why do you have no idea when you get involved in Hongyuan Villa?!"

Lingxi couldn't listen to it anymore, she trotted away from Shen Hongfei in two steps, "What are you yelling about? Don't you see that Zifeng is not feeling good in his heart?"

After Shen Hongfei sighed heavily, he walked to the table and sat down, drinking water cup by cup. Shen Zhiping walked in from the outside, "Don't worry, Li Zhi's every move is under our surveillance." ”

Li Zifeng turned around, "Uncle Shi, I'm sorry, I'm useless." ”

Shen Zhiping gently patted Li Zifeng's shoulder, "It's okay, I understand." ”

At this time, Shen Hongfei's guards came in and replied, "Young Pavilion Master, there is a person sneaking around outside..."

"Hey!" Shen Hongfei put down the water bowl and stood up, "This guy just left and sent someone to keep an eye on him?"

"Shen Gongzi, calm down! ”

The subordinate looked at Li Zifeng and continued to reply, "He seems to be inquiring about the black-eyed man......"

Li Zifeng was slightly stunned, in order to hide people's eyes, they did not alarm anyone when they entered Wei'an City this time, and the inn they chose was also very quiet, and there were almost no customers. Why did that person find out his whereabouts accurately? If it was Li Zhi, it would be impossible to think about it.

Just when a few people were in a trance, the uninvited guest took the initiative to come to the door, this person was more than seven feet tall, dressed in navy blue clothes, with hair tied on the top of his head, and the broken hair on his sideburns hung neatly, obviously looking like an ordinary person, but the temperament he exuded up and down was unusual.

Several people in the house subconsciously held the weapons on their waists, their expressions were vigilant, there was not the slightest murderous aura on the man's face, and the man generously stepped forward and saluted, "There is no trace below, on the order of my master, please ask the black-eyed man to come to the house to speak." ”

“............”

Li Zhi returned to Tianhe Teahouse, he has always been restless, what he has done for himself, and what he has said for Li Zifeng, every word is like a soldering iron, burning a deep imprint in his heart.

............

Zhujiazhuang, in the depths of Wei'an City, is located in a quiet place, the courtyard is spacious, the vegetation is scattered, the pond water flows endlessly, and the servants who serve are gentle and polite, Li Zifeng was led into the study of Yuexin Hall all the way without a trace.

At this time, the sun is not so sufficient, but there is also a faint afterglow obliquely shining down, through the slightly open window, exuding the fragrance of grass, comfortable and peaceful, but Li Zifeng is not in the mood to enjoy, Hongyuan Villa is a stone pressing in his heart, Qingyun is always involved in his heart, and there are other things he cares about.

Zhu Xingzhan let Li Zifeng kneel in front of him without saying a word, occasionally just picking up the teacup and taking a sip of tea, or sorting out the folds on the case, after nearly a stick of incense, Zhu Xingzhan still put down the pen in his hand and looked at Li Zifeng deeply, "Don't you ask why I called you here?"

Li Zifeng finally reacted, and said four words lightly, "Hongyuan Villa." ”

A few days ago, Hongyuan Villa and King Qingping teamed up, and their private actions were relatively ordinary, which had made Zhu Xingzhan very displeased, and the killers they raised under their hands could not escape Zhu Xingzhan's ears and eyes, and he was a person who had some connections with the Hengshan faction, Hongyuan Villa, and Qingping Palace, and there was no escape.

Zhu Xingzhan was noncommittal, his face could not show joy or anger, only the majesty released by his gaze, "What can you find out about King Qingping?"

Li Zifeng's head was very painful, dull and dull pain, which made his abdominal cavity feel like a river and a sea, and he exhaled deeply to relieve the discomfort on his body, "Your Majesty, Zifeng just followed the clues to find some strongholds in Lingye Palace, and rescued the kidnapped Miss Duanmu Mansion. Nothing else. ”

Zhu Xingzhan smiled deeply, and stared straight at Li Zifeng with an eagle-like gaze, "You can speak." ”

Li Zifeng lowered his head, and Zhu Xingzhan continued, "If it is me, what if I instructed you to investigate?"

Li Zifeng's heart tightened, and he couldn't understand Zhu Xingzhan's intentions for a while, so he just replied in a regular manner, "Your Majesty, the Hengshan faction and the imperial court do not interfere in each other's internal affairs, this is ......"

"There is no need to say high-sounding words. Zhu Xingzhan frowned.

"How can Zifeng be virtuous?"

Zhu Xingzhan seemed to smile, "I believe that the people cultivated by the Hengshan faction will not be general, otherwise, I would not have come in person a few years ago to visit the head of Ouyang." ”

Li Zifeng was startled, and a cool breeze suddenly blew in outside the window, he couldn't help but shiver, and his hands and feet were suddenly cold. Every word of Zhu Xingzhan was nothing more than a reminder to him that his every move involved the Hengshan faction.

Zhu Xingzhan took a sip of hot tea, and his mouth was much warmer, "Can I make you another promise?"

Li Zifeng raised his head slightly, and Zhu Xingzhan continued, "This promise can keep the person you want to keep the most in your heart at a critical moment." How's it going, are you satisfied?"

Li Zifeng's heart trembled, and then he kowtowed, "Thank you, Your Majesty." ”

"Don't be too busy thanking you yet, I still have a big gift for you. Zhu Xingzhan waved his hand. An attendant walked carefully into the delicate tray with both hands, on the tray, a Hetian jade pendant was placed upright, the dragon and the phoenix were connected, forming a circle, the carving was exquisite, the upper end of the jade pendant was crocheted with a Chinese knot, and the lower end was hung with a bright yellow tassel.

From workmanship, materials to accessories, ordinary people can't afford it at all, and the dragon and phoenix patterns on the jade pendant are only qualified to be worn by the emperor in the world.

Zhu Xingzhan personally sent the jade pendant to Li Zifeng, and after Li Zifeng fumbled for a while, he figured out the mystery and wanted to refuse, but Zhu Xingzhan didn't give him a chance to refuse, "How can there be a reason to take back what I sent out?" ”

Li Zifeng kowtowed deeply, "Zifeng doesn't dare, thank you for the reward." ”
