Chapter 230: Secret Conversation in the Tea Shed
Shen Zhiping, Li Zifeng and his entourage appeared in a tea shed in the shade of Qingyuan County, Qingyuan County is a day's journey away from Wei'an City, surrounded by mountains and water, the scenery is excellent, the structure of the tea shed is also very exquisite, built near the lake, if it is not for the 'tea' on the signboard flag on the top of the wooden pole, passers-by will think that this is a small family built on the lake.
Li Zifeng was wearing a hat, and the black gauze hung down from the top of his hat, covering his entire face, and the tea guests at the other tables in the tea shed also had this kind of appearance, so Li Zifeng's dress like this would not attract attention.
Shen Hongfei almost wrapped half a pot of tea alone to dispel the heat in his heart, he wiped the water at the corner of his mouth, and looked at Li Zifeng's godless eyes, "Your eyes are still good at seeing little light, and you will be addicted to it after a while." ”
Li Zifeng fumbled for the teacup and picked it up, "It's too stuffy to be wrapped in a black cloth all day, and now it's close to Shenshi, the sky will be dark, and there will be no big deal." ”
Shen Hongfei looked at the sky, "How do you know?"
Li Zifeng smiled indifferently, "I feel, although I can't see it, my feeling is much more accurate than before." ”
Shen Zhiping looked at it, smiling reluctantly, Li Zifeng seemed calm, but the sadness and worry hidden in his tone did not escape his ears. Blue Ice Grass, how can I find Blue Ice Grass? Shen Zhiping swallowed a sip of slightly cold and bitter tea, and sighed silently.
Shen Hongfei looked at the calm and normal environment around him, and raised his eyebrows, "I said, your two followers have been gone for so long and haven't come back yet, won't you find a place to hide?"
The two followers in Shen Hongfei's mouth are Li Zifeng's personal figures Wei Piaoyun and Shen Yu, when the Hengxiang Inn ran out of the water, when he hurried back from the mission, he saw that the inn was burned clean. After that, the news came that Shen Zhiping and the four of them were buried in the fire, and saw their 'corpses' that were burned beyond recognition.
The two endured the grief and indignation in their hearts, hid their figures, and wanted to use their own means to act secretly to avenge Li Zifeng, which could be regarded as continuing his unfinished business.
At this time, Xiao Yun, the leader of the dark guard of the Prime Minister's Mansion, has also been ordered to look for them, because he also belongs to the secret guard, so he understands the habits of the shadow guard and the dark guard, and after a lot of effort, before they left the Prime Minister's Mansion, they found the whereabouts of the two.
Li Zifeng 'came back from the dead', Piaoyun and Shen Yu were naturally pleased, but after perceiving that Li Zifeng's eyes were not quite right, the shadow guard, who was not mixed with any personal feelings, couldn't help but have red eyes, but the task had not been completed, and the things to be solved had not been solved, so they continued to secretly follow Li Zifeng to carry out the task.
The two of them no longer showed any emotion, as usual, as if nothing had happened. When he came back from the news, the words 'seeing', 'light', and 'dark' were also avoided in the words. is afraid of stimulating Li Zifeng, Li Zifeng is grateful in his heart, but he is also helpless.
Thinking of this, Li Zifeng sighed slightly, then pretended to be solemn, and quipped, "Brother Shen, let's be careful when you speak! My two subordinates are like shadows, everywhere." ”
After a faint breathing sound, Shen Zhiping frowned, looked around vigilantly, and after a breath, a figure quietly appeared behind Shen Hongfei, Shen Zhiping looked at Shen Hongfei's eyes, dyed with a bit of sympathy.
Shen Hongfei suddenly felt a burst of cool air behind him, and then looked back, and the water and refreshments in his mouth were squirted out. said that Cao Cao Cao arrived, and the figure behind him was the shadow guard Piaoyun who disguised himself as a passerby. If he was very calm after practicing martial arts, he would have to jump up in fright by this ghostly existence.
Li Zifeng felt the atmosphere around him, and turned his head in the direction behind Shen Hongfei, "Okay, if I frighten Shen Gongzi, the money on my body will not be enough to compensate." ”
Hearing his master's words, Piaoyun stopped being angry with Shen Hongfei, and after getting the answer, he sat down in front of a few people to drink water as if nothing happened, "My subordinates have been following me for a few days, and at the beginning of today, I found that Bo Yi, the housekeeper of the Zhou family, transported five boxes of wooden boxes to a hidden courtyard outside Wei'an City, like silver money. ”
Li Zifeng said with a straight face, "Who did you hand it over?"
"According to the judgment of his subordinates, it should be Lingye Palace. ”
"That's right. Shen Zhiping's expression was solemn, "There is a large amount of silver money in the Zhou family's Hongtai Money Village, and the flow of silver is blank, and it is really into the Lingye Palace." ”
Shen Hongfei asked anxiously, "In what direction did they go?"
"They've been going west..."Piaoyun knocked on the table, Shen Hongfei thought Piaoyun was still angry with him, and he didn't have a good breath, "You're too careful......, aren't you?"
Before Shen Hongfei finished speaking, he was interrupted by Li Zifeng holding down his wrist, "You mean it's very close?"
"Childe forgives the sin, the subordinates are just guessing, Shen Yu is still following a few roots, and the subordinates will come back to tell them first. ”
"Further west from here, it is Xiyuan Town, since the recent report, the white poison black wing also went to the direction of Xiyuan Town a few days ago, and..."Shen Zhiping looked at Li Zifeng and changed his head, "Leng Wuhei, who fled after Luojiabao was defeated before, seems to have signs of dispatch. ”
Li Zifeng sighed heavily, "There should be other news, right?"
Li Zifeng did not continue the topic of Xiyuan Town, but continued the Zhou family that Piaoyun had just mentioned.
Piaoyun continued to reply, "There is another thing, the Zhou family's recent shipment of goods has disappeared quietly, and even the delivery person has disappeared, and those powerful patrons of his family have jointly handed over a letter, saying that it is still a large amount of money to compensate the Zhou family. ”
After hearing this, Shen Zhiping did not feel strange, now the Zhou family is secretly dealing with the Lingye Palace, and a large amount of silver money has also flowed into the territory of the Lingye Palace.
Li Zifeng frowned, he got the news when he was in the Prime Minister's Mansion before, saying that the war in the west was tight, and there was a great drought and famine, and the people at the border were already struggling to make a living, and a large number of refugees had fled to the Central Plains for refuge. Some refugees who could not afford to eat had even starved to death on the side of the road, and some enlightened merchant families spontaneously donated money, either directly to the border battlefield, or to help the hungry people.
However, the Zhou family sent a large amount of silver money to the Lingye Palace, Li Zifeng's brows became tighter and tighter, and the hand holding the teacup became more and more forceful, Shen Zhiping patted his hand gently, "What do you have in mind?"
Li Zifeng came back to his senses, waved his hand, and the floating clouds disappeared in the crowd again.
"Thoughts..."Li Zifeng groaned and said in a low voice, "The disciple is thinking, these pieces of silver from the Zhou family can't be cheapened in Lingye Palace for nothing!"
Shen Hongfei raised his eyebrows, "So what do you mean?"
Li Zifeng nodded, "They are transporting a few wooden boxes, they will definitely not be able to go fast, and they will have to rest halfway." We are waiting for them on the road to Xiyuan Town. ”
Shen Zhiping understood what Li Zifeng meant, and didn't express any opinions, just sighed silently, he suddenly had a feeling of robbing his house or robbing the rich and helping the poor, but after thinking about it, Li Zifeng's consideration was also comprehensive, in this way, not only could he temporarily help those fleeing victims, but also cut off the financial needs of Lingye Palace.
The key is that you can take this opportunity to insert a knife between Zhou Yixuan and Lingye Palace. It's just that this matter is done, is it really convenient for him, the master of the Shen Hall? Alas...... Another long sigh.
"Uncle Shi..."Li Zifeng realized Shen Zhiping's feelings, and smirked, "This matter." ”
Shen Zhiping was finally defeated by Li Zifeng's innocent appearance, and couldn't help but say, "Okay, I didn't say anything, your idea is really good, if you can catch a few dead soldiers from Lingye Palace, I can still help ask a few questions." ”
The sunset slanted, the sunset burned half of the sky, as if splashed by the painter's paint, the red was a little dazzling, the wind was also a little strong, blowing the riverside trees rustling, the guests of the tea shed left one after another, taking advantage of the early days to continue to hurry, in a hurry.
