Chapter 31: The Edge

As the sun sets, the earth converges the last light of the day, the twilight is heavy, the inner room is lamped, the charcoal fire is burning, and the freshly brewed tea exudes a refreshing fragrance in the air with the hot air, which makes people feel refreshed and happy.

In front of the neat bookcase, there is a piece of white rice paper, on which are written eight large characters: 'The bitter sea is boundless, and the back is the shore', and the ink has not yet dried. Li Zifeng watched silently and sighed heavily.

At this time, Shi Yi walked in with hot water, caught a glimpse of those words, and after reading them in a low voice, he asked tentatively, "Senior brother, why are you still studying Buddhism?"

Li Zifeng came back to his senses and said with a wry smile, "It's a joke." Then he crumpled the piece of paper and threw it into the brazier and burned it to ashes.

Suddenly, a figure broke into the house, rushed straight at Li Zifeng, forced Li Zifeng into the corner, and strangled his neck fiercely, Shi Yi was about to make a move, but was repelled by Li Zifeng, because he had recognized that the attacker was the 'crazy woman' he met near Qingyuan in the morning, and he was also the person he regarded as his mother when he was a child.

Li Zifeng tried his best to steady his breathing, but there were faint tears in the corners of his eyes, "You want to kill me?"

The crazy woman didn't seem to hear Li Zifeng's question clearly, and still repeated stupidly, "The sea of bitterness is boundless, and the shore is the back." The bitter sea is boundless, and the shore is ......"

Li Zifeng raised his hand, gently stroked the hand of the person who was choking his neck, and held it slowly, her hand was very rough, and even a little sticky, and said softly, "I listen to you, please calm down too, okay?"

"That's right. The mad woman smirked, and the next moment she suddenly withdrew her hand as if she had been scalded by boiling water, and ran out with the words 'The sea of bitterness is boundless, and the shore is back...'.

Li Zifeng came back to his senses and coughed violently, Shi Yi realized that Li Zifeng's neck had already been pinched purple-red, and he hurriedly poured a glass of water and handed it over, "Senior brother, why didn't you let me make a move just now?"

After a glass of clear water in his stomach, Li Zifeng sighed lightly, "To deal with crazy people, you can't come hard, you can only persuade each other, otherwise, the damage she will cause will be greater." ”

After being silent for a long time, Li Zifeng frowned, and ordered solemnly, "I'll go and bid farewell to the owner of the village in a while, you pack up your things, and we will leave early tomorrow morning." ”

"In such a hurry?" Shi Yi said in surprise, "However, we haven't found out anything." ”

A faint evening breeze blew in, Li Zifeng looked at the strange shadow at the door, and said with a smile, "I haven't found out what anyone said, and there are people and ghosts coming and going in the villa, all of which I remember in my heart." ”

Shi Yi followed Li Zifeng's gaze, and his heart was relieved, and he pandered, "Also, no matter how well they hide it, they can't escape your eyes." ”

Li Muyang's study, the lights are flickering, and the fragrance of tea is overflowing,

"Oh?" Li Muyang pretended to be surprised when Li Zifeng suddenly resigned, "Are you in such a hurry?"

Li Zifeng raised his eyes, took in the hypocrisy hidden in Li Muyang's greetings, and smiled indifferently, "The juniors came uninvited, which has disturbed your purity, you don't dislike the hospitality, and you have made the juniors grateful, how dare you stay without knowing the severity and cheeky?"

Li Muyang couldn't help but regret, but he didn't mean to keep it, "What are you talking about...... nephew?"

Li Zifeng looked stunned, patiently listened to Li Muyang's high-sounding polite words, drank all the tea in the teacup, put it on the tea case, and sighed lightly, "Master Li Zhuang is too polite, the junior is honest, don't mind." ”

"It's okay to say it's okay. ”

"What I want to tell you has been said, the things that should be understood, and I have already understood, and there is really no point in staying, and besides, the family teacher is still waiting for the younger generation to return to his life. ”

"Oh, if that's the case, then I won't force it to stay, when is the virtuous nephew going to get up?"

"Early tomorrow morning. ”

"Oh, that..." Li Muyang just wanted to say something, but he accidentally caught a glimpse of the purple-red mark on Li Zifeng's neck, and said in surprise, "What's going on with the neck of the virtuous nephew?"

Li Zifeng said lightly, "Oh, it doesn't matter. Some minor surprises. ”

The candle flame in the room suddenly shook slightly, Li Zifeng raised his eyes to look outside, a black shadow flashed, and the corners of his mouth instantly hooked up a sneer.

When Li Zifeng returned to Huanju Garden, he obviously felt that the killing intent was gradually approaching! In just an instant, several figures flew down, gradually approaching here.

Li Zifeng took out his sword with his backhand and stood side by side with Shi Yi, the tips of their swords pointing directly at the uninvited guests approaching from all sides. The two of them flashed forward, quickly moving their figures, intertwined with the figure of the man in black, the long sword glowing with cold light, and the path was dazzling.

However, with a cup of tea, all the people in black had fallen to the ground, but Li Zifeng knew that there were still people hidden in the dark, quietly observing, and then sneered, "What, don't you show up yet?"

As soon as the words fell, he couldn't see where the man in black flew down, the man in black was wearing a mask, and his cold eyes were always staring at Li Zifeng, he seemed to know that Li Zifeng was not easy to deal with!

The man in black in the mask stretched out his hand, but in an instant, there were more long swords in his hand, and the two long swords glowed with cold light in the dark night. said that it was too late, and the long sword of the black-clothed masked man took Li Zifeng's throat straight into the wind. Li Zifeng dodged sideways, avoiding the deadly sword qi. Immediately flashed forward, and the two long swords intertwined, splashing a little spark, very dazzling.

The black-clad masked man is constantly changing his moves, and his moves are deadly. But Li Zifeng can always find the flaws in it, and then resolve them one by one, and the black-clothed masked man makes another fatal move, but he doesn't want Li Zifeng to have turned defense into offense, and the sword he stabbed out impartially met the sword edge that Li Zifeng forced over, and the black-clothed masked man changed his body style, so he barely stood up to Li Zifeng's pressing sword momentum step by step.

After a few rounds, the courtyard was quiet, and although the long sword of the black-clothed masked man was still in his hand, the blade had been broken, and a sharp long sword instantly turned into a short weapon without a sword tip. The black-clothed masked man was slightly surprised, and when he came back to his senses, Li Zifeng's long sword was already on his neck

Li Zifeng looked at the person opposite, the black-clothed masked man's eyes were shining with a cold light, but Li Zifeng always felt that his eyes and breath were very familiar, "Who are you?"

The black-clothed masked man's voice was hoarse, "Li Shaoxia is really a noble man who forgets things, on the outskirts of Weicheng, we have a relationship!"

"Cold rain?" Li Zifeng suddenly understood what was going on with the feeling that something was wrong yesterday, his heart jumped, as if he was frightened by his own conjecture, and said coldly, "The dignified Lingye Palace Protector actually deigned to be stationed in Hongyuan Villa, should I say that you are loyal, or do you mean that your lord doesn't take you seriously?"

Leng Yu's eyes flashed gloomily, and he sneered, "How can our lord allow you to put your beak!"

The noise of 'catching assassins' sounded nearby, Li Zifeng was distracted, and Leng Yu flew away and disappeared. Li Muyang hurried over with a group of guards, and before he could stand firmly, he hurriedly asked, "The virtuous nephew is frightened, what about the assassin?"

"Fled. The tone was calm, and there was not the slightest ripple to be heard.

Li Muyang was taken aback, "Can the virtuous nephew see his appearance clearly?"

Li Zifeng calmly wiped the remaining blood stains on the sword, "No." ”

Li Muyang trembled, from the time he stepped in until now, Li Zifeng had never looked at him with his eyes, but he had been concentrating on wiping the blade of the sword. Li Muyang waved his hand and motioned for the entourage guards to check on the corpse.

Li Zifeng put the sword back into its sheath, seemed to have just come back to his senses, looked at Li Muyang, and then looked at the corpses of several black-clothed people who fell to the ground, his eyes were covered with a layer of cool air, but his face was always gentle, and with a little apology, he bent down slightly, and arched his hand, "It is rude for the juniors to kill on the territory of the owner of Li Zhuang." ”

Li Muyang let out a long sigh of relief, "It's okay, it's that group of assassins who don't know what to do, and they want to break into the villa to send them to death, and the virtuous nephew is fine." ”

Li Zifeng didn't smile, and didn't make any response, as if he had just watched a good show that had nothing to do with him, and at this time, a guard came to report, "Master, the assassin ......"

"What assassin?!" After being snubbed by Li Zifeng, Li Muyang sprinkled his anger on the guards, and his voice was extremely high.

The guard spoke as quickly as he could, cautiously, "The Assassin is a servant of the palace. ”

"What?!" Li Muyang was shocked and hurriedly went over to check.

Li Zifeng never reacted excessively, just walked over slowly, supporting Li Muyang, who was already trembling with anger, with regret and sympathy between his eyebrows, and his tone tended to be calm, "The owner of the village, the family servants in the house, it is indeed time to clean up." ”

Li Muyang's heart tightened, and he raised his eyes to look at Li Zifeng, and he didn't understand the person in front of him anymore.

Li Zifeng sighed heavily, the emotion he showed just now was by no means a disguise, Li Muyang was his father after all, no matter how much he hated him before, and how much he hated him, he didn't want to retaliate too hard, could it really be the blood relationship that was causing trouble? Thinking about it, he shook his head in annoyance.

Li Muyang thought that the servants in the village had already colluded with the people of Lingye Palace, and he was angry and helpless, angry that they had already infiltrated the servants before he made the final decision, and the helpless thing was that now that this situation was created, he had no way out, but with his current strength, he could not compete with the Hengshan faction at all, and the secret decree in his hand seemed to be shaky, and Li Muyang was exhausted.

"If you have a nephew to worry about, it's better to ......"

Li Zifeng heard the tentative tone of the person next to him, his goal had been achieved, it was better to fulfill his wish, and then interrupted him, "Master Li, it is indeed inconvenient for the younger generation to stay, after all, this is your family matter, you can do it yourself!"
