The inner hall of Hengshan School Shangqing Garden, sandalwood is swirling, and the fragrance of tea is overflowing.

Shen Tianxiong restrained his smile faintly, picked up the half-cold tea, and took a sip, "Most of them are also some fights and intrigues, don't mention it." ”

Li Zifeng was noncommittal, just smiled lightly.

"Okay! I came here just to see how my old friend was doing, and since I saw that Brother Ouyang was still fine, I was relieved. Shen Tianxiong's smile was very thick, but the eagle eyes staring at Li Zifeng were shining, after all, he was Ouyang Ze's apprentice, of course he would not be caught up in three or two clicks.

Ouyang Ze said with a smile, "Then Brother Shen is too polite." ”

"I disturbed Brother Ouyang for two days, I should also go back, there are many affairs in the house, and if it is delayed, my wife will complain again. Shen Tianxiong ordered the little guy around him to present the gifts that had been prepared for a long time,

"Brother Shen is so polite. Speaking of gifts, I also want to thank Brother Shen for the tonic he sent last time, so that the little apprentice is in good health. If I collect it now, I'm afraid that my Ouyang Ze's face is comparable to the city wall. ”

"Brother Ouyang is joking, there have been many disturbances in the past two days, annoying Brother Ouyang's warm hospitality, if I Shen don't know how to exchange courtesies anymore, I'm afraid it will be too bad to break the rules of the rivers and lakes. ”

Ouyang Ze no longer gave him politeness, and a smile appeared on his face after chatting happily with his friends, "In this way, I might as well be respectful." ”

"That's very good. Shen Tianxiong said and got up to say goodbye.

Ouyang Ze got up to send him off, "If I hadn't been busy with affairs recently, I would definitely have to stay with Brother Shen for a few more days." ”

"Brother Ouyang doesn't have to be polite. ”

Until he stepped out of the door, Ouyang Ze reminded intentionally or unintentionally, "You intend to spy on the apprentice's background, you must just be interested in the apprentice, not behind the scenes......" The latter words Ouyang Ze did not continue, the threat was very strong.

The smile on Shen Tianxiong's face stiffened slightly, and a trace of ruthlessness flashed on his face silently, but his mouth explained, "Brother Ouyang is serious, I am indeed interested, so I asked casually, what is the intention, do you have to be so careful when chatting with juniors?"

Ouyang Ze smiled kindly, "That's good." He immediately ordered Li Zifeng to send Shen Tianxiong.

Shen Tianxiong didn't shirk either, the two walked one after the other, Li Zifeng was a junior after all, and he walked a little further back, until he left the sect, Shen Tianxiong stopped leisurely.

"Just send it here, I'm tired of Zifeng. If something goes wrong outside, your master's short-term protector will blame me again. Shen Tianxiong teased, and the conversation changed, "Zifeng, do you remember where you were found?"

The smile on Li Zifeng's face suddenly froze, but it returned to normal in a moment, "I forgot, I'm afraid you have to ask my master in person about this matter." ”

Shen Tianxiong glanced at Li Zifeng meaningfully, and the latter forced himself to look at him, his gaze not dodging in the slightest.

Under this kind of direct gaze, Shen Tianxiong looked slightly embarrassed, "Well, I shouldn't have asked you such a question." ”

Shen Tianxiong finally let him go, and the two said some polite words, and then dispersed at the door of the sect.

Li Zifeng turned around, his face sank in an instant, his brows were slightly furrowed, and his right hand attached to his leg was unconsciously clenched into a fist, first Li Quan, the housekeeper of Hongyuan Villa, was suddenly instructed by the people of Lingye Palace to investigate himself, although he sent Shen Yu, a shadow guard loyal to him, to keep an eye on his movements, and there would be no chaos with Shen Yu's style of acting.

But this Shen Tianxiong ...... Obviously, I already have some clues, otherwise I wouldn't have been so clear about getting to the bottom of things. And those forces in the shadows, how many people have discovered their identities?

If his background is revealed, the master, who has always regarded himself as his own, knows that he has the blood of the enemy in his body, and at that time... How will Master treat himself? Thinking of this, Li Zifeng felt a palpitation.

A market near Hung Yuen Villa

The streets are bustling with people, with passers-by smiling faintly and occasionally stopping in front of the vendors, picking out the items they need, and shouting and shouting. There was a surging flow of people in front of the doors of teahouses and restaurants, and the figure of the shopkeeper was busy going back and forth in the lobby. It's just the noon sun, which is slightly dazzling.

Li Quan had already gotten the scroll, but he didn't dare to take it open rashly on the road, listening to the hidden meaning, this Li Zifeng's life experience must involve something. A heart was beating fast in his chest, and he didn't care that the objects he was carrying in his hands were falling scattered, and he just wanted to go back as soon as possible.

There have always been people from the Lingye Palace in Hongyuan Villa, although he pretends to be a small servant on weekdays, Li Quan does not dare to slack off as a housekeeper, as long as he goes back and hands over the scroll to the Lingye Palace, the task will be completed.

"Steward Li!" suddenly a voice behind him stopped him. Li Quan's footsteps paused slightly, pretended not to hear, and continued to walk hurried forward. He didn't want to delay at this juncture, and if something happened, it would be a joke with his life.

"What is Steward Li doing in such a hurry?" the man behind him shouted even louder.

The vendors around Li Quan all looked sideways, helpless, Li Quan could only stop, with a stiff smile on his face, and slowly turned around, only to see a person dressed in a dark color power suit with a calm face appear in his sight, and couldn't help but be a little surprised, "Who are you?"

"Steward Li doesn't remember that I'm normal, I haven't seen each other for a long time, come, let's talk while walking. ”

This person is the shadow guard Shen Yu beside Li Zifeng.

Shen Yu couldn't help but say, and after a few steps, he clasped Li Quan's shoulder, which seemed to be a close brother, and the palm that held Steward Li's shoulder was slightly forced, so that he couldn't break free.

Li Quan chuckled in his heart, and said in his heart that this should be the "eyes" that Fang had just been monitoring behind him, but he didn't expect that he was still there after so long, he was obviously so cautious, and there were no suspicious pedestrians around him when he entered the teahouse, where did this guy come from?

Can be transferred by Ouyang Ze to Li Zifeng's side and become his protective shadow guard, Shen Yu's skills are naturally not a problem, if it is in a secluded place, Shen Yu can directly subdue Li Quan on the spot and force him to hand over the scroll, but now there are many people on the street, and I don't know if there are any spies hiding in the Lingye Palace, Shen Yu has to pretend to be familiar with Li Quan, thinking that this guy is in his own hands, and he doesn't dare to be more presumptuous.

"Haha, Steward Li, what is this in your hand? Can you lend me a look?" Shen Yu pretended to be puzzled, and reached out to grab the scroll in Li Quan's hand, holding his breath slightly, paying attention to the surrounding movements.

If he wasn't worried that Li Quan would have someone to take over as soon as he arrived in a secluded place, there was no need for him to expose it now.

Li Quan was stunned for a moment, and quickly hid the scroll in his arms, he didn't know who the young man in front of him was, so he naturally didn't dare to hand over the scroll rashly. Cold sweat was already oozing slightly from his back, and he knew that he was afraid that he would be more than lucky today. Knowing this, it was better to delay a little longer before doing it, Li Quan regretted that he didn't do it at the beginning.

"What precious treasure? Brother Li is inevitably too stingy!" Shen Yu saw that he couldn't take it directly, grinned, and pulled Li Quan to the side of the alley, where few people passed by, "I remember that there is a good tavern there, today brother I have a treat, Steward Li is going to sit down?"

Li Quan broke out in a cold sweat, he wanted to resist Shen Yu's movements, but Shen Yu clasped his shoulders tightly, and dragged him over with brute force, in the eyes of outsiders, they were just reluctantly reluctant, and after a little more glance, they continued to shout and buy lively.

Shen Yu lowered his head slightly, the broken hair on his temples temporarily covered the expression on his face, and his voice became extremely cold, "Steward Li, you'd better listen to me, otherwise you know the consequences yourself." ”

Li Quan's heart was shocked, he didn't dare to say much, and obediently followed Shen Yu into the alley.

The alley was shady, and there was even a gust of cold wind blowing, and Li Quan couldn't help but shiver.

Shen Yu put away his smile on the street, his face was cold, "Okay, since I've arrived here, I don't need to beat around the bush." ”

At this moment, Li Quan suddenly regretted that he hadn't shouted for help just now, and now he could only be slaughtered in this secluded place. Taking advantage of Shen Yu's inattention, Li Quan suddenly stretched out a kick and kicked it towards Shen Yu's knee!

Shen Yu snorted coldly, his reaction was much faster than Li Quan's, his five fingers were combined into palms, and the sharp palm wind slashed straight down, knocking Li Quan's legs, stagnating for a second, Li Quan only felt that his calves hurt as if they were about to crack, and his bones made a crisp clicking sound, and he suddenly screamed in mourning.

Shen Yu didn't just let him go, his other hand clenched into a fist, and with a strong internal force, it slammed on Li Quan's soft belly, his viscera was shaken, Li Quan's face turned blue, his eyes bulged, and he almost spurted out a mouthful of blood.

Li Quan didn't have much work on his body in the first place, how could he compare to Shen Yu, a real shadow guard? That bit of fancy work, even if it was a sneak attack, was not enough to see at all.

"You'd better be honest. Shen Yu's voice was cold, and he easily took the scroll in his hand and gently patted Li Quan's right cheek, "What is this?"

Li Quan gritted his teeth, "It's just a word written to me by a friend, it's not a valuable object, leave a thought." ”

"Peng!"

Shen Yu was silent, slapped Li Quan's face to the side with one palm, and hit the hard stone wall hard, Li Quan wailed, spit out a little blood foam in his mouth, and lost two teeth in the fight.

Shen Yu was too lazy to talk nonsense, and said coldly, "Tell the truth." ”

"I said, I said!" Li Quan stretched out his hand, covering his red and swollen cheeks tremblingly, his eyes resentful, "The people of the Lingye Palace ordered me to investigate Li Zifeng's background, so I went to visit an old friend of mine and asked him for help. He wrote Li Zifeng's life experience on this scroll. ”

Li Zifeng's life experience?Shen Yu frowned slightly, "Have you seen this scroll?"

If he had seen it, I was afraid that he would have to take Li Quan back and listen to what Li Zifeng was going to do.

"No, no, no!" Li Quan's heartbeat sped up a little, and he quickly shook his head in denial, pointing to the intact seal on the scroll, his tongue was knotted, "I... I haven't even opened it yet, and the seal on it is still intact. ”

Shen Yu looked at it again and again for a while before he barely believed his words, and then looked at Li Quan coldly and said, "If there is anything you haven't explained, I advise you to say it now, so as not to suffer from flesh and skin again for a while." ”

Without Shen Yu to speak, Li Quan didn't dare to take a step away at all, so he could only look at Shen Yu in front of him tremblingly, "Everything I know has been explained clearly... I... But I swear by the lives of my wife and children, I have no lie!"

The corners of Shen Yu's lips showed a mocking smile, and he swore by the lives of his wife and children...... Then he glanced at Li Quan, "It's nothing to do with you, go back." With that, he turned and walked deeper into the alley.

Li Quan stared at his departing back, his hands were already empty, and he closed his eyes a little unwillingly. I knew that I had seen the scroll in my hidden residence, and I would explain it when I went back.

What Li Quan didn't know was that not long after all this happened, a child-like person not far away quietly ran into the teahouse where he had just left, and whispered something to the ear of the tea drinker.
