As the twilight deepens, the birds return to the forest, and only the 'cooing' of pigeons in the sky hovers leisurely over Hongyuan Villa, tirelessly......

Li Quan finished his day's work, returned to the candle garden of his residence in the west, and then in the dim candlelight, he took out the note given to him by the cold rain a few days ago, and the name of 'Li Zifeng' on it came into view.

What makes him embarrassed now is whether to investigate or not, and to investigate, not only do he have to face Li Shijie's 'warning', but once he doesn't handle it well, he really can't afford to offend the forces behind the Hengshan faction. If you don't investigate, you will have to face the threat of Lingye Palace's life.

It's hard to do, there are threats on both sides... Li Quan sighed, weighed the words of both sides, and after a while, he still gritted his teeth and checked!

It's just that he has to be more careful, Li Quan hasn't lived enough, and he doesn't want to joke with his life. Compared with Li Shijie's warning, as long as he investigates secretly and is not discovered, nothing will happen...... But if you can't hand over the things, the methods of the Lingye Palace, just thinking about it will make people feel chilled.

Li Quan couldn't help but shudder. beckoned to the little guy on the side, and after telling him something in detail, he waved him back. It's getting late today, and it's time to visit that old friend tomorrow......

If it weren't for the fact that he was really desperate, Li Quan really didn't want to get entangled with him too much, but now letting that person help him investigate is undoubtedly the safest way to safe.

Thinking so, Li Quan cleaned up, carefully blew out the honey candle next to the bed, and caught a glimpse of a vague figure flashing outside the window.

"Who?!" Li Quan shouted, his eyes locked on the window, but there was no movement. Frowning and hesitating for a moment, Li Quan still grabbed the saber at the head of the bed, opened the door and walked out.

There was a night watchman on the left side of the wing, and Li Quan walked over quickly.

"Did any suspicious people pass by?"

"Suspicious?" the squire shook his head, a little confused, "but don't you see... The little one had been standing here, very quiet. ”

Li Quan didn't say anything more, looked at him deeply, and then went back to the house, leaving only the pines and cypresses planted in the courtyard, and the reflection cast in the silver moonlight swayed leisurely on the yellow paper window.

Be... The shadow of the tree?

A false alarm. Li Quan realized that his whole body was tense, but after more than a dozen breaths, he broke out in a cold sweat, and he was afraid...... I was afraid that the eyes of the Hengshan faction were still secretly watching his every move, and I was also afraid that the people of the Lingye Palace would completely discard his "chess piece".

When there is no use value, his fate can be imagined, his mind is messed up, Li Quan has no way to calm down, and the figure that flashes outside the window makes him dare not sleep......

The night was deep, and the moon hung silently in the sky, casting a silvery light.

Li Zifeng was busy with the day's work, and then returned to Yuntian Pavilion slightly tired, and when he walked into the study, his sharp eyes caught the faint figure hidden in the dark. But I didn't feel strange, and after closing the door, I leisurely walked to the bookcase and lit the candle, picked up the book and flipped through it idly, as if greeting an old friend, "Are you back?"

The figure gradually approached, it was a black-clothed shadow guard Piaoyun, Piaoyun knelt on one knee in front of Li Zifeng, and replied after bowing to his subordinates, "Eldest prince, my subordinates have found out that Li Quan, the housekeeper of Hongyuan Villa, is secretly connected with a mysterious person, and it sounds like a woman." The mysterious man seemed to ask him to look up someone. ”

"Who is it?" Seeing that Piaoyun couldn't speak, Li Zifeng frowned slightly, "If you have something to say." ”

"It's you, the eldest prince. After Piaoyun finished speaking, he immediately lowered his head, not daring to take another look at Li Zifeng's face.

The hand holding the scroll tightened, and the palms of his hands were sweating, soaking the scroll, and after Li Zifeng was silent for a long time, he stabilized his slightly rapid breathing and said coldly, "Go on." ”

Piaoyun breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Soon after, Li Quan was kidnapped, and the person who kidnapped him was Li Shijie, the young owner of Hongyuan Villa, who fiercely warned him not to act rashly. ”

When the name Li Shijie appeared again, Li Zifeng's heartstrings were inexplicably touched, and Piaoyun saw that Li Zifeng was silent, and said tentatively, "And the crazy woman you brought my attention to before, she..."

Li Zifeng's heart tightened, "How is she?"

He has been ordered to be removed by Li Shijie, saying that he is afraid that she will be crazy and say something that should not be said. ”

Li Zifeng's brows became more and more frowned, his eyes were red, slightly cloudy, and Piaoyun didn't seem to notice the abnormality in Li Zifeng's mood, "As for the others, the subordinates haven't detected it yet, but they have left the shadow guard Shen Yu to continue to investigate." The eldest prince forgives his sins. ”

Li Zifeng sighed heavily, raised his hand and rubbed his frowning brows, "It's okay, you've done a good job, if you have nothing else to do, step down!"

"Yes. The subordinates retired. Piaoyun got up and flashed, and disappeared in an instant.

The room fell into silence, Li Zifeng exerted his right hand, picked up the waste paper on the table, and crumpled it vigorously.

Shang Qingyuan's study was still brightly lit, indicating that the owner was working tirelessly through the night to deal with official documents.

There was a knock on the door in the silence of the night, slightly abrupt. Li Zifeng breathed steadily, "Master, disciple Li Zifeng asks to see you." ”

"Come in!"

Ouyang Ze stopped the pen in his hand, looked at Li Zifeng and bowed slightly, his eyebrows suddenly dyed a little smile, and quipped, "The apprentice who is a teacher has changed his temperament today? Why is it so solemn? ”

Li Zifeng listened, the heaviness that had been covered just now because of listening to Piaoyun's return to life suddenly dissipated, and his heart was much more relaxed, he walked to Ouyang Ze's desk, put his hands on the table, and smiled evilly, "Master, is it possible that in your heart, the disciple is so ignorant of the rules?"

Ouyang Ze smiled, "Okay, just say something! If you don't have official business, you won't take the initiative to come to the study to find me." ”

Hearing this, Li Zifeng laughed embarrassedly twice, "What you said, but this time the disciple came to do something important to come back and forth, just now the shadow guard next to the disciple Piaoyun came back to restore his life, there was a change in Hongyuan Villa, the housekeeper Li Quan and a mysterious person talked secretly for a long time, and soon after, he was warned by Li Shijie, the young owner of Hongyuan Villa, not to act rashly. ”

"Mysterious person?" Ouyang Ze frowned, his face solemnized, "Warning? shouldn't it, the young owner warned the housekeeper, which one is this singing?" Ouyang Ze had already stood up from his chair and walked towards the window after saying this.

Li Zifeng looked at it, frowned slightly, and a trace of panic flashed in his eyes, this was the first time he blatantly concealed it in his return, concealing information that was unfavorable to him, and he suddenly felt a little weak.

But at this moment, Ouyang Ze suddenly turned around and said with a serious face, "Zifeng, maybe a storm is coming, you may have been caught in it, if it comes to a critical moment, remember to protect yourself!"

Li Zifeng listened, his heartbeat accelerated several beats, and he looked at Ouyang Ze, who was extremely serious in front of him, and was a little uncomfortable for a while. But he still forcibly calmed down and smiled indifferently, "Master, what you said is a bit serious, right?"

Ouyang Ze couldn't help but be amused when he saw Li Zifeng's helpless appearance, "Okay, I teased you just now, and after I go back, I will send someone to continue to secretly keep an eye on Hongyuan Villa." Recently, I started to prepare for the visit of the Shen Pavilion Lord of Mu Lin Pavilion, you know what to say and what not to say. ”

Li Zifeng understood what Ouyang Ze said, and his expression was awe-inspiring, "Master rest assured, disciple understands, and it will definitely be arranged." ”

"That's fine. ”

Due to the boredom in his heart, Li Quan stayed up all night with his eyes open after lying in bed last night. The next morning, he rubbed his red and swollen eyes, explained the affairs of the house, and went out early in the morning under the pretext of purchasing for the house.

Worried that there were "eyes" following behind him, Li Quan didn't dare to go directly to the destination, first went to the lively bazaar, the noise made Li Quan a little uncomfortable, closed his eyes hard, rubbed shoulders in the crowd, I don't know if it was his own delusion, I always felt that there was someone watching him not far away......

I deliberately picked a few stalls with more people and walked around twice, but the feeling of being watched still did not disappear, and Li Quan also pretended to buy some items needed in the house and carried them around. Then cautiously walked to the place where he met with the 'old friend' every time.
