Chapter 190: Shadow Search
The sky was dark, large dark clouds drifted by, the cold wind blew through, hitting the branches of the trees to make a 'rustling' sound, after a strange 'coo' sound, a snow-white pigeon fluttered its wings and landed on the window of the old teahouse on the outskirts of Guard's City, the pigeon's eyes flashed red, as if revealing a fierce light.
The white feather dressed in black grabbed the pigeon, untied a scrolled note from the pigeon's leg, opened it and looked at it, the narrow eyes were slightly raised, and half of the face was not in the shadows, and the whole person looked very gloomy.
Qingyu, who was sitting on the side, was leisurely drinking tea, and seeing that Bai Yu had been silent after reading the news, he asked, "What's the matter, senior brother, but the spy has come to the news?"
"Spies?" Bai Yu snorted coldly, "I think those spies can be raised with your poison." ”
Qingyu held the teacup in her hand for a moment, and quickly stood up, "Li Zifeng has news, right?"
"Not sure yet. Bai Yu's face was gloomy, and his lips painted silver-gray rose slightly, revealing a killing intent, "It's news from the cold rain, saying that there is a trace of Li Zifeng near Datong Bank. ”
"Leng Yu?The protector of the Lingye Palace?, she also came to Wei'an City?" Qingyu looked puzzled.
"Okay..."Bai Yu put the note in his hand on the candlestick and burned, a wisp of fire flashed, and the note instantly turned into ashes, "Pack up, it's time for us to go." ”
Qingyu's eyes became deeper and deeper, and her pink lips rose slightly, "Then senior brother is going to cooperate with me in a play." ”
Bai Yu's eyes revealed a yin owl, "It's easy to say." ”
A strange bird flapped its wings and flew past the window, making a mournful sound, and the sky outside seemed to be even more gloomy.
As the twilight fell, the sky and the earth fell into darkness, and the lanterns hung sporadically in front of the store, sprinkling a faint orange-red light, and at this time, the cold wind was whistling, and the pedestrians on the street were hurrying in the direction of their homes.
Because Wei'an City is located at the foot of the Son of Heaven and the city area is large, Li Zifeng walked in the direction of Hengxiang Inn for most of the day before he vaguely saw the shadow of the inn.
But the wind around seemed to be a little louder, Li Zifeng looked at the surrounding environment vigilantly, the small vendors on the street cleaned up their stalls, and the people walking together walked indifferently, and the pedestrians talked in twos and threes and met the beautiful lady on that street, and entered the nearby wine shop. Everything seems normal.
The feeling from the surroundings became more and more obvious, but there was no slightest malice, Li Zifeng shook his head, thinking that he was hallucinating, but from behind him, there was a faint sound of footsteps, it turned out that this was not an illusion, there was a pair of eyes watching him.
Li Zifeng turned around and entered an alley, almost no one passed by in the alley, the light was darker, the cold wind was blowing in the shadow, and the footsteps that could be hidden behind him became more and more obvious in Li Zifeng's ears, Li Zifeng stopped, looked sideways slightly, and an imperceptible smile appeared on his face, and then continued to move forward.
The tracking from behind seemed to weaken, and then surrounded the surroundings, Li Zifeng frowned slightly, stopped again, pulled out a short sword on his body, and rubbed it with interest, the short sword was faintly glowing with cold light in the dark sky, slightly stinging.
The surrounding tracking sound stopped, and Li Zifeng smiled indifferently, "It's hard work to follow me all the way to this point." Why don't you show up and let's talk. ”
Unexpectedly, there was no reaction around, and he even held a weapon in his hand. There was no sound of gearing up, Li Zifeng raised his eyebrows, slightly surprised, and once again suspected that he was too nervous and hallucinated.
But he has always been very sensitive to the aura of the detective, and he usually can't make mistakes, and he definitely feels that this aura is definitely not from the shadow guard. Li Zifeng asked again, "Your Excellency is reluctant to come out for a long time, is this to invite you again after choosing a restaurant?"
At this time, faint footsteps sounded around again, and a black-clothed masked man flew up and appeared in front of Li Zifeng, medium in size, with deep eyes, and the broken hair on his forehead fluttering in the wind, but he didn't speak, just looked at Li Zifeng silently. The expression was cold.
Li Zifeng clenched the short sword in his hand, "Your Excellency has worked tirelessly to follow all the way, but there is something important to discuss?"
Only then did the black-clothed masked man react, "Don't misunderstand, Childe, I'm just here to ensure Childe's safety." ”
"Safe?" Li Zifeng looked awe-inspiring and said coldly, "You've made me feel uneasy now. ”
The man in black looked indifferent, and he couldn't see the slightest emotion, "I don't bother to argue with people, but after a long time, Childe will understand." I hope that next time, Childe will not live up to our kindness again. ”
After that, without waiting for Li Zifeng to respond to anything, the man in black flew away, Li Zifeng didn't want to miss this opportunity to counter-track, so he tapped his toes and quickly followed.
Passing through a few streets and passing through several alleys, the man in black finally stopped his pace in the most prosperous street in Wei'an City, and one flew into a tall courtyard gate, in front of the courtyard gate, several sturdy guards patrolled back and forth, their eyes were vigilant, Li Zifeng was slightly surprised, and took a few steps closer within the range of not being noticed. By the lantern hanging in front of the door, I could make out the words on the plaque.
But the next moment, Li Zifeng was taken aback, and he clearly saw the three words on the plaque 'Prime Minister's Mansion'.
Li Zifeng's gaze became deeper and more solemn......
Prime Minister's Mansion • Wan Ziyu Study
A dark shadow quietly appeared behind the screen in the study, and Wan Ziyu, who was sitting at the table and reading the official documents, did not have any surprises, and was still calm, "Followed?" The tone was indifferent, as if he was just asking, 'Have you eaten?'.
"Yes. "The figure of the black shadow is gradually obvious," Li Zifeng was very vigilant, and after his subordinates followed him for a while, he was forced to show up, and his subordinates routinely mentioned a few words, and then deliberately led him to the gate of the mansion. ”
"You're doing a great job. Wan Ziyu put down the official document in his hand and nodded with satisfaction.
The black shadow sighed slightly, "My lord, please forgive your subordinates, do you really have the heart to take him for your own use?"
"Li Zifeng is a talent, he rescued the prince several times before, and assisted in cracking the case of reselling royal antique jade, recovered the stolen things, and then led people to eradicate a number of strongholds of Lingye Palace. If we can take him for our own use, we will not only strengthen our own strength, but even stabilize the position of the queen, and we will also be able to help the prince board the plane in the future. ”
This black shadow is the captain of the dark guard under Wan Ziyu, named Xiao Yun, who is very loyal to Wan Ziyu, sometimes, although the two are the master and servant, they are more like friends, so sometimes Wan Ziyu will talk more to him.
"But after all, he is a member of the Hengshan faction. Xiao Yun was still a little worried.
Wan Ziyu chuckled, "I deliberately tested Ouyang Ze that day, and I could see from his expression that the relationship between master and apprentice was no longer what it used to be. This is also an opportunity for us. ”
The flames on the candelabra flickered slightly, emitting a blurred aperture......
