The sweet soup and snacks on the round table exuded a sweet and attractive taste, but at this time, Li Zifeng smelled very sweet and greasy, so sweet that he had a headache. After confirming that Zhu Luoyun had finished breakfast, he instructed the waiter to remove the meal and replace it with a fragrant and delicious West Lake Longjing.

The fragrance of tea overflows, relieving the discomfort on the body.

Li Zifeng sighed faintly, with a stunned look on his face, "Your Highness feels that the rivers and lakes are happy and enmity, but justice is the way, how can it be so easy? This Lingye Palace is arrogant and evil, but it is strong and tough, even my Hengshan faction does not dare to deal with it easily, and the forces of Lingye Palace are involved in many parties, and it is difficult to uproot them." ”

Zhu Luoyun lowered his eyelashes, his expression was dyed with a lot of loneliness and dazedness, Li Zifeng looked at his expression, and continued, "Actually, they just don't know each other very well, and there are many people who are tired of fighting and killing, hiding in the mountains and forests, and only hoping for food and clothing. ”

"I also know that the competition is a bit ridiculous. Zhu Luoyun finally spoke, his tone was full of confusion, and he blinked, "I originally thought that I would not have any connection with Jianghu in this life, but when Qingping Wang visited one day, he suddenly proposed that I could approach by recruiting relatives through martial arts." ”

"King Qingping?" Li Zifeng furrowed his eyebrows.

"Exactly. Zhu Luoyun glanced at Li Zifeng and continued, "Brother Huang is different from me, he seems to know a lot of people in the rivers and lakes, and sometimes when he talks to me, he can always know a lot of things that I have not read. ”

Li Zifeng did not speak. He had never met King Qingping, and he didn't know what kind of person he was, although he had some bad guesses in his heart, he didn't dare to make judgments. I don't dare to say such things. I had to twist the teacup and turn it slowly, "How did King Qingping suggest His Highness?"

Zhu Luoyun only paused slightly, and then continued, "It's not an awkward thing, it's just that the court suggested that the crown prince be elected as a concubine, and King Qingping happened to be playing chess and chatting with me in my palace at that time, so he suddenly mentioned it." I also took it on the spur of the moment, so I agreed. Rushed to Yeyang City with great interest, who knew that this kind of thing would happen. ”

The room fell silent again.

Li Zifeng knew that there was no possibility of "accidentally remembering" this kind of thing, and the king of Qingping was not a fool, and he was the second prince who was competing with the crown prince, and the partial prince seemed to trust him very much, and he had no doubts about such a ridiculous suggestion.

Immediately, he sighed lightly and said, "Your Highness, as far as I can see, this martial arts competition should be put aside for the time being." It's great if you figure it out and are willing to cancel, but if you can't let it go for the time being... Please also think carefully before making a decision. ”

Zhu Luoyun was stunned for a moment, and he also understood what Li Zifeng meant in his heart, and couldn't help but smile bitterly, and agreed: "Okay, I'll think about it more." ”

In the blink of an eye, it was noon, and today's daylight was unusually scorching, and the white swaying made people panic. There are no pedestrians on the road for a long time, and the usual bustling market is only a small vendor with a cloth tent selling water. The birds fluttered their wings and flew past the window, and Zhu Luoyun seemed to wake up suddenly, "It's time to go back to Beijing." ”

Li Zifeng bowed slightly, "Qingying, I still have some important matters to be dealt with in Yeyang City, and the matter of escorting the prince back to Beijing will be handed over to you, if you find out about the situation, contact Uncle Shi as soon as possible!"

The disciple named Qingying nodded, took a step forward, and led Zhu Luoyun to leave first.

Zhu Luoyun was in the mood to look at the green buildings on the side of the corridor, not like the twists and turns in the palace, the courtyard was wide and clear, and the corridor was also straight forward, there were no flowers in this season, and the faint green was on both sides of the corridor, which was very pleasing to the eye.

Walking out of the signboard of Yunxuan Pharmacy, a carriage had already been prepared at the door, and the guard's arm was bandaged tightly, and he was led by the disciple on the horse, "Your Highness......

Zhu Luoyun waved his hand, signaling that he didn't have to salute himself, and then got into the carriage with the support of the people around him. Qingying, disguised as a coachman, glanced at Li Zifeng and bowed slightly.

The sound of horses' hooves gradually faded away, and Shen Zhiping came out of the pharmacy and looked at Li Zifeng with a smile, "Senior nephew, are you leaving?"

Li Zifeng's expression froze, and after a while, a smile came to his face, looking at Shen Zhiping and shaking his head helplessly. After all, Shen Zhiping is the master of Qingsong Hall, how can he hide this little calculation?

"Yes, we escorted the prince back to Beijing with such fanfare, and only arranged a dozen disciples, and the Lingye Palace, which lost the dead, will definitely not give up and let go of this 'excellent' opportunity to fight back. There were two or three wildernesses on the way from Yeyang City to Wei'an City, and the disciples expected that they would also be blocked on the road. Not to mention ......"

Li Zifeng and Shen Zhiping looked at each other and smiled, Li Zifeng was a little helpless, it seemed that his mind had already been seen through by his uncle, and most of the secrets of his life experience were also known...

"Since I saved the prince, how can there be any reason to be taken captive by the Lingye Palace again, I may have promised to protect the prince before leaving, or I will personally run for peace of mind. Fortunately, there is no need to be busy these days. ”

Shen Zhiping didn't say much, and the voice of the two talking was very low, and only they could hear each other. If he inadvertently glanced at the merchant who was pretending to sell straw shoes on the street corner, the merchant and Shen Zhiping's eyes immediately looked away.

Shen Zhiping pursed a smile at the corner of his lips, and gestured to the corner of the street with his eyes, Li Zifeng understood, smiled and said nothing.

"Since my nephew still has sect affairs to deal with, I won't keep you any longer. Go back as soon as possible, so as not to worry about your master, and don't delay on the way. Shen Zhiping suddenly raised his voice, "I still have some gifts that my nephew would like to bring to your master for me, come in and get them." ”

Li Zifeng answered, followed Shen Zhiping into the Yunxuan Pharmacy, and when he came out again, the merchant on the corner of the street was gone.

"Lingye Palace's eyeliner?" Li Zifeng asked tentatively.

Shen Zhiping didn't answer, just nodded slightly, and his expression became a little solemn. Yunxuan Pharmacy is one of the places where Qingsong Hall receives the news, and Ling Ye Palace's eyeliner dares to be bold enough to appear near Yunxuan Pharmacy?

Shen Zhiping sneered, "Let him go this time, if there is a ...... next time"

Li Zifeng was silent, and Shen Zhiping set his eyes on the medicinal herb cabinets beside him, displaying the medicinal herbs that had been exposed to the sun and drained, mixed with a strong smell.

Shen Zhiping continued, "I don't know if the Lingye Palace will send dead soldiers this time, it's a pity to be poisoned in vain." I can't see anything on this corpse, so it's better for me to give my nephew a good thing. ”

Lingye Palace.

Wei Yu looked at the kneeling subordinates below, his face gloomy and silent, his knuckles kept tapping on the armrests of the seat, and the quiet atmosphere became more and more depressing.

After a long time, he burst out with a voice, "Waste!", and then smashed the inkstone on the bookcase, hitting his subordinates in the head and smashing a bloody hole. The subordinate bit his lip, but did not dare to cry out in pain.

The nightmare is angry, and making a noise at this time is tantamount to adding fuel to the fire.

"More than a dozen dead soldiers, go to surround the person who only brought one guard, and they can't catch it? let the people of Qingsong Hall follow them, and they haven't found it yet!" The more Wei Yuan thought about it, the more he felt that he couldn't swallow this breath.

The people sent out didn't send back the news for a long time, and they couldn't get in touch, so they sent people to inquire about the situation, and found that the dozen or so dead soldiers had been violently corpsed in the wilderness, and they all committed suicide by taking poison.

When cleaning up the corpse of the deceased, he found that a person had written the word green pine on the loess, and he thought that it was a ghost from Qingsongtang. The eyeliner that was later placed in Yeyang City proved that Li Zifeng was indeed seen appearing in Yeyang City that day, leading some injured Qingsongtang disciples and a richly dressed young man.

The richly dressed young man must have been the crown prince.

Originally, I thought it was a stable abacus, but I didn't expect it to be ruined by Li Zifeng! The eyeliner sent back the news that the other party brought less than ten people, and the more than a dozen dead soldiers carefully cultivated by the Ling Ye Palace were forced to commit suicide by taking poison!

"Tell me yourself, what should I do with you?"

Nightmare's voice was cold. The subordinate trembled, and wanted to open his mouth to beg for mercy, but Wei Yu didn't give him a chance to explain, "Drag it down, it's a waste to keep such a useless waste in the palace." Take it to feed the dogs, and it can be regarded as repaying the cultivation of you in the palace. ”

"Lord, Lord, spare your life!" the man began to cry a few times, and was quickly gagged.

There was a look of disgust on his face, "It's really noisy, just dig out his tongue together." ”

After a while, a minion held the plate, and there was a human tongue with blood, and the nightmare just glanced at it casually, and then let people take it down and throw it away.

"What's going on in Qingsong Hall now?" asked a black-clothed subordinate who had been standing aside. This man in black checks the movements in Yeyang City on weekdays, and the information that Li Zifeng appeared is what he saw.

"The prince only left the Yunxuan Pharmacy at noon, and Qingsong Hall specially placed more than a dozen elite guards, and maybe there were shadow guards. The black-clothed subordinate recalled Fang Cai's move to cut people's tongues with a single sentence, and he was drenched in a cold sweat, for fear that he would lose his life inadvertently.

The nightmare groaned, the undercurrent of the ink-colored eyes surged, as if he thought of something, his knuckles suddenly clenched, and he was a little pale, "That is to say, the prince is still in Yeyang City ...... now"

Wei Yuan narrowed his eyes, and his tone instantly became decisive and ruthless, "Arrange for people to go down and intercept the prince along the road, but more than a dozen elites, if you can bring the prince back, it is not a waste to lose a dozen dead soldiers!"
