Chapter 166: Across the Mountain
With three blue brick walls, a narrow iron door, and the only window connected to the outside world, which was also separated by iron railings, there was a cold atmosphere everywhere, and He Yi sat on the hard bed, staring at the water bowl on the wooden table beside him with blank eyes. The piercing sound of 'bang, bang, bang' opened a hole in the silence of the suffocating night
After the iron door was fully opened, Li Zifeng slowly entered, walked straight to the wooden table and lit candles, and the cell suddenly became a little bright, "Why don't you light candles, aren't you the most afraid of the dark?"
He Yi seemed to feel the breath of life, and his eyes seemed to have a little light, but he still refused to say anything, only got up and knelt down silently.
Li Zifeng stared at him for a long time, "I'm just the follower disciple of the head of the sect, you don't have to kneel to me." ”
"Thank you..." After a long silence, He Yi made a difficult voice.
Li Zifeng looked at him coldly, "Thank me for what?"
"Thank you for saving me from his grasp. ”
"He?" Li Zifeng raised his eyebrows, his eyes gradually deepened, and then he sat down on the bench in front of the wooden table, staring at He Yi expressionlessly, "Senior brother, I just don't want you to suffer the sins I once suffered." ”
He Yi was a little surprised, his eyes were filled with mist, "Senior brother, don't you hate me, if it weren't for me, maybe none of this would have happened." ”
Li Zifeng sighed, "Actually, I'm here to thank you, thank you for acting in this good show." ”
After hearing this, He Yi's eyes suddenly widened, and Li Zifeng continued, "Although you have a straightforward temperament, you have been in the business for so many years, and you will think twice before doing things. It's like tonight's dungeon, with such an obvious trap, you can't fail to see it. But you just jump in without thinking about it, why?"
Li Zifeng said, leaned down slightly to get close to He Yi, and whispered word by word, "Because you want to use the method of self-exposure to lure out the person behind you, am I right?"
He Yi sat down paralyzed, and the heat between his breaths slowly spread, "I don't understand what you're saying." ”
"You don't understand, do you? Okay, let's talk about something you understand. Li Zifeng seemed to be smiling, "In the main hall of Shang Qingyuan, your eyes have been wandering between him and me. It's just that you want me to help you check on him secretly, but it's hard for you to say it when he's there. Also, your words flickered in the lobby, and you couldn't see it as the head of the house?"
He Yi smiled self-deprecatingly, and then let out a long sigh, his face was full of relief, Li Zifeng seemed to be smiling, "Look at your reaction, but am I right?"
He Yi suddenly looked at Li Zifeng, "Senior brother, you have fought with Lingye Palace many times, so you must only know about them on the surface. But I have to face it all the time, and you don't understand the depression and pain in it. ”
Li Zifeng frowned, "You mean that the white bone is ......?"
He Yi nodded, his eyes were sour, and he was crying with grief, "He is my ......" He Yi, who has always been straightforward, was almost suffocating at this time, "The one you see is not ......"
Although he had expected it, hearing He Yi say it himself, Li Zifeng was still shocked!
......
The candle flame flickered and froze, emitting circles of light that seemed to be trying to dispel the darkness and coldness of the cell......
Shang Qingyuan's study, the candle flame burns for a long time, and it is destined to be a sleepless night......
Ouyang Ze sat at the table, thinking about all the things that happened before and after the martial arts conference four years ago, and at this time, a disciple came to report that Li Zifeng asked to see him. Ouyang Ze's eyes couldn't help but feel sour, "Please come in." ”
"Yes. ”
Li Zifeng walked in unhurriedly, maintaining the courtesy that an attendant disciple should have, "Master." ”
Ouyang Ze looked at him for a long time, Li Zifeng's face was a little pale, but his overall mental state was still good, so he breathed a sigh of relief, and his eyes returned to their previous gentleness, "Here, sit down and talk!"
"Uh..." Li Zifeng frowned and hesitated for a while, "Thank you, boss." ”
At this time, Mo Xuan brought a cup of hot tea and put it in front of Li Zifeng, Ouyang Ze looked at Li Zifeng's red eyes and the scar on his forehead, as well as a trace of blood that seemed to ooze from his chest, and his heart was mixed, and he couldn't help but redden, "Is the injury better?"
Li Zifeng looked at Ouyang Ze calmly, without the slightest emotion, "It's much better, I have Master Lao to worry about it." ”
The fluttering words caused Ouyang Ze's heart to ache again, he always looked at Li Zifeng's eyes, eager to find a trace of grievance in his eyes, even if it was complaining, but except for indifference and alienation, he didn't find any other emotions.
Ouyang Ze came back to his senses and rubbed his eyes, "You just went to see He Yi?"
"Yes. Li Zifeng nodded, "He explained some things again, which was a little unbelievable." ”
Li Zifeng emphasized the word 'again' very heavily, as if it meant something, Ouyang Ze heard a hint of taste, and raised his eyebrows, "Let's hear it." ”
"It's about some things about the floating shadow of Hongyuan Villa......" When Hongyuan Villa was mentioned again, Li Zifeng's expression was very calm, and there was no more panic before, Li Shijie's behavior disappointed him very much, and he never thought that the person he was closest to had already been involved with Lingye Palace.
Li Zifeng came back to his senses for a long time, "The floating shadow is actually subordinate to the Lingye Palace, and was later sent to Hongyuan Villa by the palace master of the Lingye Palace to be Li Muyang's guard, and then sent by Li Muyang to Li Shijie's side to secretly follow. In the memory of the disciple before he was seven years old, he did not remember such a person as a floating shadow. Of course, it may also have something to do with the black cloak that forced the disciple off the cliff. ”
Ouyang Ze immediately understood what Li Zifeng meant, "You mean that the black cloak arranged the floating shadow into Hongyuan Villa? ”
Li Zifeng stood up and pleaded guilty, "This is just a disciple's guess, and there is no other real evidence." ”
Ouyang Ze waved his hand to signal Li Zifeng to sit down, sighed silently in his heart, and kept recalling in his mind when Li Zifeng started to become so 'understanding of the rules' in front of him, and he no longer had the feeling he had before, and a trace of loss suddenly flashed in his eyes, "It doesn't have to be like this, it's normal." ”
Li Zifeng straightened up and sat down again, looked at Ouyang Ze, and sighed, "He Yi is also a poor person, his mother and sister have died tragically at the hands of the rebels of the Lingye Palace. ”
Ouyang Ze nodded, "Guessed, your performance in the lobby already speaks for itself." ”
Now He Yi has been poisoned again. Li Zifeng lowered his eyes, "The disciple dared to ask Senior Uncle Lu to go over and check his pulse, saying that it was a long-term accumulation of chronic poison ......."
Ouyang Ze raised his eyebrows, and looked at Li Zifeng with an inquiring gaze, "Do you want to talk about mixed heart grass or falling stone sand?"
Ouyang Ze thought of the white bone again, Lu Shiqing had told him before that the white bone was poisoned by falling rocks and sand, but Li Zifeng in the lobby said that there was no abnormality in the accidental death and injury, so he was sure that there was a problem in it, and Li Zifeng was also inconvenient to say because someone was present in the lobby.
"Yes. Or both. Li Zifeng nodded, his eyes were deep, "Uncle Shi has already prescribed an antidote according to his symptoms, I hope it will have an effect." It's just that... In any case, it is not right to rebel against the master, and it is no wonder that the deacon elders are so angry. ”
Ouyang Ze was empty, remembering that when he firmly believed that Li Zifeng rebelled against his master for the so-called family affection, he also angrily beat him into internal injuries, Ouyang Ze couldn't help but feel annoyed.
