Li Zifeng, dressed in a black robe, stood quietly on the stone steps and looked at the moon, letting the cold wind blow the hair and corners of his sideburns.

Half an hour passed, and there was a sound of hurried footsteps not far away, Li Zifeng followed the sound and saw He Yi as expected, He Yi saw Li Zifeng waiting here, obviously taken aback, "Senior brother?"

Li Zifeng looked at the past with scrutinizing eyes, but he did not question and persecute the previous two days, but was as peaceful as before, "There are few people here, next time you go out at night, don't go so far." ”

He Yi was not a fool, he could hear that Li Zifeng had something to say, he was reminding him that his every move was under his gaze, and he was about to open his mouth to explain something, but Li Zifeng took a step forward and continued, "If you have any difficulties, you can also talk to me as before." ”

He Yi's throat rolled, and he opened his mouth to say something, but he never said it, and sighed helplessly for a long time, "People will always have hardships, just like Senior Brother You concealed your life experience back then, rest assured, no matter what I have done, I will never do anything to hurt you or anyone." ”

After that, He Yi continued to step on the stone steps and walked in the direction of Qingyi Garden, and just when his body and Li Zifeng were staggered up and down three stone steps, Li Zifeng spoke again, "Does anyone include yourself?"

He Yi was stunned, let out a long sigh, and stopped talking......

When Li Zifeng returned to the courtyard, half of the time had passed, and when Pu opened the courtyard door, a figure rushed towards him, Li Zifeng's vigilant mood gradually relaxed, and he let the person pounce on him, "Uncle..."

"Qingyun?" I haven't seen him for a few days, and I really miss him a little, Li Zifeng's tired face showed a warm smile, "How did you run out of the Rite Hall?"

Qingyun's watery eyes overflowed with tears, and he kept rubbing against Li Zifeng's body, "Uncle... Isn't Qingyun too naughty, and Uncle is tired of it, so he takes Qingyun away?"

Qingyun was out of breath, Li Zifeng was dumbfounded for a while, touched his head and comforted, "What are you talking about? How can Uncle be bored with Qingyun? It's just ......"

Li Zifeng was stunned for a moment, and suddenly felt that this sentence was so familiar, and he remembered that year, Ouyang Ze also told him.

【Memories】

That year, Li Zifeng was eight years old, and Ouyang Ze had just arrived at the age of establishment, and he succeeded to the position of head at the beginning. Ouyang Ze took Li Zifeng's little hand and meandered down the mountain road step by step. On both sides of the mountain road, the branches are thick, and the occasional bird flies overhead, making a crisp call.

The unknown place in front of him made Li Zifeng panic, his black grape-like eyes revealed a bit of innocence, and his heart became more and more uneasy, and he kept shaking Ouyang Ze's hand, "Uncle, is Feng'er disobedient and makes Uncle annoyed?" Uncle decided to send Feng'er away?"

Ouyang Ze was stunned, and his pace slowed down, "What are you talking about? Uncle will take you to find your father." ”

Li Zifeng pouted, "What if you can't find it?"

"I can't find it..."Ouyang Ze groaned a little distractedly, "If you can't find it, I'll find you a good family." ”

Li Zifeng lost his temper, pulled Ouyang Ze's hand and refused to take another half step, seeing Ouyang Ze completely stop, he pounced on him, crying aggrievedly, "I'm not going anywhere, I'm going to follow Uncle, I promise to be obedient in the future, Uncle don't want me, okay?"

Ouyang Ze sighed helplessly and gently patted his slightly immature shoulder, "Obedient." ”

Li Zifeng just didn't let go, tears and snot rubbed Ouyang Ze's body, "The place where there is an uncle is my home, if you really don't want me anymore, then throw me back to the foot of the mountain!"

Xu is Li Zifeng's crying was a little loud, and he actually startled the birds that landed and rested to flutter their wings and fly, fleeing in all directions, and gradually hiding in the dense leaves.

At this time, Ouyang Ze's heart was completely crushed, tears couldn't stop flowing, and he hugged Li Zifeng's thin body tightly, "Okay, Zifeng won't go anywhere, go home with his uncle......"

Since then, Li Zifeng followed Ouyang Ze home with peace of mind and never left. But at that time, he didn't know why Ouyang Ze sent him away, and later, when he was a little sensible, he vaguely heard others talk about it, because he lost his memory and the origin was unknown, Ouyang Ze ignored the opposition from all sides, and withstood a lot of pressure to keep him by his side. [End of memory]

Li Zifeng let out a long sigh, sure enough, fate made people, if he hadn't been so willful at that time, and calmly accepted Ouyang Ze's idea of finding a good family for himself to adopt, maybe there would be no dead knot between them now.

"Uncle......" Qingyun's call made Li Zifeng come back to his senses, Li Zifeng stroked his head, "Silly boy, how can Uncle not want you, going to the Rite Hall to study is the only way for every child who enters the Hengshan Sect." Besides, Uncle is very busy these days, and he can't take care of you. ”

"Oh. Qingyun seemed to understand whether he understood or not, and his black grape-like eyes rolled slightly, "Then Qingyun passed the assessment, will he be able to follow his uncle forever." ”

"It depends on your performance. Li Zifeng smiled reluctantly, where is his future path, he doesn't know himself, how to promise a child?

The child is really simple-minded, very coaxing, Li Zifeng rushed to the time of bed, transported Qing back to the Rite Hall, Elder Zongyuan's disciple Zhou Yixiang arranged to settle people, came out to say hello to Li Zifeng, as soon as he came out, he found that Li Zifeng had gone away, and his back was extremely lonely.

The side gate of Shangqingyuan is the main gate of the miscellaneous courtyard, so from the main gate back to the miscellaneous courtyard, you have to pass through Shangqingyuan, it was late at this time, Li Zifeng didn't want to disturb anyone, so he quietly walked behind, but unexpectedly someone was waiting for him, but this time it was not Qingyun, but Ouyang Ze, Ouyang Ze was dressed in a thick coat, standing in front of the stone table in the courtyard and was in a trance.

Li Zifeng's expression was stunned, and he hurriedly stepped forward and saluted, "Master." ”

Ouyang Ze seemed to have just come back to his senses, turned around and stared at Li Zifeng carefully, with an inexplicable expression, "You're back?"

"Yes. Li Zifeng responded truthfully.

Ouyang Ze chuckled, his gaze always wandering on Li Zifeng, "It seems that you are in a good mood." After saying that, he said no more, and the atmosphere fell silent for a while.

Li Zifeng still maintained the same posture of bowing, but his brows furrowed slightly, and he asked tentatively, "The head is here, is there something important to order?"

Ouyang Ze's brows froze, and he sighed lightly, "Oh, it's not a big deal. Just wanted to talk to you. ”

Let's talk? Li Zifeng's pupils constricted, as if he was being pressed hard, how could he not see that he had been by Ouyang Ze's side for so many years? Most of it is for the affairs of Hongyuan Villa. Li Zifeng's expression was awe-inspiring, and he looked up tentatively, and sure enough, Ouyang Ze's eyebrows were gloomy. Li Zifeng lowered his head again, and didn't say anything anymore, the situation at this time didn't allow him to say anything, so he waited patiently, waiting for Ouyang Ze's next step.

There was silence again, and Ouyang Ze sighed nonchalantly, "It's getting late today, you come to my study after breakfast tomorrow, and we'll have a good chat." Rest early!"

"Yes. Li Zifeng bent down again, "The disciple sent the head of the sect to the door." ”

It wasn't until Ouyang Ze's footsteps gradually faded away that Li Zifeng slowly straightened up, a gust of cold wind blew, cold to the bones, Li Zifeng wrapped his coat tightly, walked back to the room quickly, and when he passed by the study, he faintly found that something was wrong, and someone had come in the study.

Lit the candle, the flames crackled, spreading out a huge circle of light, illuminating every corner of the study, no other abnormalities were found, but on the bookcase, next to the neatly stacked official documents, there was one more, that one was put aside alone, it looked very abrupt, Li Zifeng walked over and picked it up and flipped through it at will, and couldn't help but be shocked into a cold sweat, that was the result of the investigation into the tragic death of the Mozhou secret guard, and the murderer was Li Shijie!
