The next morning, the inky blue sky faded little by little, and the morning light shone through the clouds. Occasionally, a few birds flutter their wings and let out a mellow call that wakes up the sleeping man.

Duanmu Luoqing got up and finished washing, and wanted to talk to Li Zifeng by thanking Li Zifeng for saving his life, so he walked to the door and knocked, but there was no reaction in the house, only to find that Li Zifeng was no longer in the room.

At this time, Li Zifeng was sitting in the study and talking to Shen Zhiping, the tea in front of the two was still hot, but he couldn't see the color of the tea for a long time, and he didn't know if he had soaked it, and the two plates of pastries had bottomed out, and he had obviously been sitting here for some hours. It's just that the eyes of the two of them are bloodshot, and it looks like they haven't slept all night.

Shen Zhiping's face was solemn, and after listening to Li Zifeng's speculation last night, he never said a word, but his eyes were a little deeper, and his tone was quite serious, "I have written down the words of my nephew, there is no real evidence, and you must not mention it to others, including the master, of course." ”

"Don't worry, the disciple understands the importance of this. ”

Shen Zhiping sighed, "The background of the fan building is complicated, the government and the opposition, the rivers and lakes, black and white, the Lingxi girl in charge is also a powerful character, if there is nothing important, the master and nephew should have less contact with her!"

Hearing this, Li Zifeng's expression was awe-inspiring, he opened his mouth and didn't know how to respond, Shen Zhiping stood up, opened the dark compartment of the bookshelf, and took out a palm-sized delicate wooden box, which was the one that Li Zifeng returned last time.

"You still have to take this and take it! ”

Seeing the familiar little wooden box again, Li Zifeng's heart trembled, and he took the wooden box and held it in his hand, feeling heavy, Shen Zhiping continued, "This is the treasure I have accumulated over the years, my nephew must remember to put it away by himself, don't let others find it, maybe in the future, at a critical moment, I can help you a lot." ”

Li Zifeng's eyes were sour, "You... Believe in the disciples?"

Shen Zhiping smiled but said nothing. At this time, Ye Li's voice came from outside......

"Duanmu is looking for our senior brother?" Ye Li's voice was a little loud, as if he was deliberately reminding the two people in the study.

"He... In the study again, with Shen... Do seniors speak?"

Li Zifeng put away the wooden box, went out of the study with Shen Zhiping, saw Duanmu Luoqing, and immediately beckoned Duanmu Luoqing to sit in the lobby, and the attendant stepped back after serving hot tea, Shen Zhiping said apologetically, "Zifeng has already told me about last night, let Duanmu ......"

"It doesn't matter. Duanmu Luoqing preemptively interrupted the conversation before Shen Zhiping finished saying sorry, although his neck was cut, it was only a shallow wound, but he was able to cry in Li Zifeng's arms for a while, and he didn't push himself away, and now he can't help but feel sweet when he thinks about it. It's worth it.

"The assassin is still alive, I have already asked the reason from his mouth, combined with the words of Steward Hu, I know that the man sneaked into Yeyang City, trying to find out something, but accidentally saw Miss Duanmu on the street, so he followed all the way to arrest Miss Duanmu. Shen Zhiping explained the reason.

Duanmu Luoqing was stunned, and Li Zifeng coughed lightly. "I've ordered the men to tighten their defenses. However, Miss Duanmu should go back early, so as not to worry the head of the Duanmu family, after all, this place is not as safe as at home. ”

Shen Zhiping looked at Li Zifeng, there was a vague smile in his eyes, after Li Zifeng came back last night, in this Qingsong Hall, how to call the shadow guard and make him protect the safety of Duanmu Luoqing, he saw it all.

Since the black clothes didn't come out to stop it, Li Zifeng took it as his acquiescence, anyway, since the shadow guard was nominally "protecting and assisting" Li Zifeng, then he used it for a purpose, and it seemed reasonable on his face.

What's more, it is to protect the Duanmu family's youngest daughter who lives temporarily in Qingsong Hall, and Ouyang Ze can't find any thorns.

Duanmu Luoqing nodded, "What was Senior Shen talking to Li Gongzi early in the morning?"

The faces of the two stiffened slightly, but Shen Zhiping was the first to react and opened his mouth, "It's just some miscellaneous matters of the sect, Miss Duanmu doesn't have to worry about it, breakfast should have been prepared in the dining room, and I will ask the disciple to take you to dinner." ”

As he spoke, Shen Zhiping waved his hand over to the disciples on the side, carefully admonished a few words, and then left with Duanmu Luoqing.

Shen Zhiping coughed lightly, and then a man walked out from behind the screen, and when he saw that Duanmu Luoqing was no longer in the house, he breathed a sigh of relief, and then turned his head and smiled at the two. This person is Shen Hongfei, who lived in Duanmu Mansion.

After everyone arrived, Shen Zhiping ordered Ye Li to guard the door, and then took a few people to get up and walk into the dark room of Qingsong Hall, and the furnishings of the dark room were no different from Shen Zhiping's study.

Li Zifeng coughed, and everyone was immediately attracted to attention, "Since everyone is already here, it's better to plan your next plans." ”

Being away for a long time made several people miss their own sect a little, especially Shen Hongfei, hearing someone say that they would go back first, and then think about it in the long run, Li Zifeng let out a long sigh, "Although Lingye Palace has begun to give up chasing and killing you, it doesn't mean that you are completely safe......"

"What?"

Shen Zhiping took over, "If you don't dislike it, you can first disguise yourself as a medicine boy and live secretly in Qingsong Hall first, after all, this is a branch of the Hengshan faction, safety is not a problem, if Zifeng goes down the mountain to investigate in the future, it will be convenient to contact you." ”

Shen Hongfei muttered softly, looking at Li Zifeng curiously, "You really decided to go back to the mountain?"

Li Zifeng was stunned, then smiled bitterly, his eyes were a little gloomy, "Otherwise, if you stay outside for a long time, I'm afraid that the head of the house will be 'worried' again, right?"

Shen Zhiping glanced at Li Zifeng distressedly, and diverted the topic, "I don't know what a few people think?"

Shen Hongfei opened his mouth and said, "How dare you bother Hall Master Shen." Instead, we can make this the point of contact..."

The final result of the discussion was that several people dispersed their secret activities, hoping to find out some information, and also designated Qingsongtang as a secret contact point, and determined the contact method, Shen Zhiping was not easy to force to stay, so he agreed to them.

......

Several people secretly went through the secret passage of Qingsong Hall, went straight to the back door, and dispersed in disguise. And Shen Zhiping and Li Zifeng opened the stone door of the secret room and walked out generously.

A few people are safe for the time being, and the information that should be mastered has been mastered, and it is not easy to stay and disturb Uncle Shen, and besides, in the current situation, they have to go back to the mountain. So Li Zifeng went back to the room to pack up her things, ready to go back to the mountain to resume her life, and then discuss the next plan, when she went out, she happened to meet Duanmu Luoqing, she also packed her things and prepared to go back to the house with Hu Quan, after last night's attack, she was also a little worried, so she came to say goodbye to Li Zifeng.

Duanmu Luoqing's face turned red, "We... You can also walk together for a while. ”

"Hmm. Li Zifeng nodded and didn't say much.

Li Zifeng did not refuse, Duanmu Luoqing was overjoyed, although the road to the same country was only a short stretch, this was enough.

So, after saying goodbye to Shen Zhiping, the two rode together. Walk through the bustling crowds and vendors. Unexpectedly, at the gate of the city, I saw Lingxi. Recalling what Shen Zhiping had said, Li Zifeng frowned.

Li Zifeng looked at Hu Quan and motioned for him to protect Miss Duanmu to return home, Duanmu Luoqing pouted, a little unhappy, but since he had arrived at the city gate, it was time to separate, and then exchanged a few words, and as Hu Quan rode away, a cloud of dust was stirred up behind him.

Watching them walk out of the city gate, Li Zifeng turned over and dismounted, and led the horse to Lingxi, Lingxi didn't dodge or dodge this time, and was straightforward, "I forgot to tell you yesterday that the jade jade pendant you gave has been asked for by your black-clothed guards." ”

Lingxi's fluttering words sounded like thunder to Li Zifeng, but his face was forced to be calm, and his tone was indifferent, "Thank you girl for reminding me, there will be a period later." ”

After saying that, he didn't say more, turned over his horse again, and ran out of the city, Lingxi silently looked at the figure of Li Zifeng leaving, his charming eyes were completely gone, and he only sighed helplessly.
