At this time, outside Luojiabao, more than a dozen black-clothed people with excellent body skills concealed their bodies with the help of various barriers, blending in with the dark sky, but their eyes were firmly staring at every move outside Luojiabao.

Yeyang City

By this time it was already dark, and every house hung lanterns in front of their doors. Li Zifeng rode his horse for a long time, and when he saw Duanmu Rong hurriedly following behind him, he suddenly felt a little helpless, stopped his horse, turned around and said, "Miss Duanmu, I am going to the Yunxuan Pharmacy in front, you are a girl's family, and you are not familiar with the life in Yeyang City, so it is better to go back to Duanmu Mansion with the housekeeper earlier, so as not to worry the head of the family." ”

Duanmu Luoqing is a girl's house after all, her face is thin, she looked around, pointed to the dark sky and said, "It's getting late, I'm going back now, I'm afraid I'm going to meet robbers and bandits, and if I want to go home, I have to wait until dawn tomorrow." ”

Although it was a little difficult to speak, Duanmu Luoqing still said it stubbornly, and sure enough, Li Zifeng was silent after hearing it. The housekeeper Hu Quan was helpless in his heart, so he could only pretend that he hadn't heard anything and follow obediently.

Duanmu Luoqing lowered his head and didn't dare to look at Li Zifeng, so he stared at the ground nervously, and after a long time, Li Zifeng said sullenly, "It's negligent." ”

Duanmu Luoqing was overjoyed when he heard this, and was about to raise his head to say something, when he heard the scattered sound of horses' hooves in front of him. Seeing Li Zifeng driving the horse and continuing to walk forward, Duanmu Luoqing pursed his lips and sighed lightly, an inexplicable loss rose in his heart, and when he came back to his senses and saw that the person had gone away, he also whipped to follow.

Speechless all the way, finally arrived at Yunxuan Pharmacy, the three of them dismounted, and a waiter led the horse to feed the forage, and the two Duanmu families followed Li Zifeng into the shop, the hall master Shen Zhiping was in front of the counter, serving with some herbs, and saw Li Zifeng come in, followed by a girl and a housekeeper-like person, slightly surprised.

Li Zifeng hurriedly introduced Duanmu Luoqing and housekeeper Hu Quan to Shen Zhiping, and when introducing Shen Zhiping, he simply said that Shen Zhiping was his uncle, who usually liked to deal with herbal medicine, and treated people on weekdays. As for the fact that this is an important intelligence agency of the Hengshan faction, and Shen Zhiping is the identity of the hall master of Qingsong Hall, Li Zifeng deeply concealed it. Even the Duanmu family, who had saved Shen Hongfei and others, Li Zifeng could not easily leak it.

Shen Zhiping saw Duanmu Luoqing beside Li Zifeng bowing his head slightly, his cheeks were a little ruddy, he instantly understood something, his eyes were dyed with some smiles, and he whispered in Li Zifeng's ear in a teasing and playful voice, and this scene fell in Duanmu Rong's eyes, and he suddenly blushed to the root of his ears.

It was rare to have dinner with Li Zifeng, Duanmu Luoqing was overjoyed, he didn't even care about the taste of the meal, and there was an uncontrollable smile on the corner of his lips. And Hu Quan, who was on the side, sighed again and again.

After dinner, Shen Zhiping instructed the waiter to wait for the two distinguished guests of Duanmu Mansion to go down to rest, and he and Li Zifeng still had something to say.

Li Zifeng walked into the study with Shen Zhiping, Ye Li offered a pot of hot tea, then exited the door, guarding outside, the candlelight was soft, the fragrance of tea was overflowing, the wisps of sandalwood rising in the study made people comfortable, Li Zifeng held the teacup, looked at the floating tea foam, opened his mouth, and didn't know where to start.

Shen Zhiping looked at Li Zifeng, recalled the scene when Li Zifeng was making the introduction just now, and sighed silently in his heart, he couldn't say whether to be happy or helpless, "You seem to be more cautious than before." ”

Holding the teacup slightly, Li Zifeng's eyes deepened a little, and he smiled bitterly, "It's okay to be cautious." ”

Shen Zhiping didn't want to say anything more, so he changed the topic, "Don't worry, senior nephew, I have settled all those people, so far, this place is quite safe, they can live here first, and then discuss countermeasures." ”

Li Zifeng breathed a sigh of relief, "There is Uncle Lao." ”

"You don't have to be so polite to me. Shen Zhiping took a sip of tea from the teacup, and said intentionally or unintentionally, "In the past two days that you have been away, the disciples sent by Qingsong Hall to investigate outside have also had nothing to do, except for some trivial things, there are no other suspicious things to report. ”

Li Zifeng is good at listening to the key points from the words, "In other words, the people of Lingye Palace are not so strict in chasing Shen Hongfei and the others?" Seeing Shen Zhiping nodded, he continued, "Also, probably their energy has returned to me." When the disciple was on the outskirts of Wei'an City, he had a face-to-face encounter with the Dharma Protector Han Feng of the Lingye Palace and the dead soldiers under his command. They said that my life was more important than chasing down those people. ”

Li Zifeng's tone was flat as usual, as if he was just greeting good morning. When he heard the three words of Zhaomian, Shen Zhiping was stunned, and said that the fatal fight with Lingye Palace was a simple Zhaomian, and then shook his head helplessly.

"When the disciple was in Wei'an City, an interesting thing happened, there were several groups of people secretly following him. ”

Shen Zhiping was not affected by Li Zifeng's pretended relaxed expression, "I'm afraid it has something to do with black and white poison." ”

"Do you know?" Seeing Shen Zhiping staring at himself, he realized that he had asked a stupid question, Shen Zhiping had been in charge of Qingsong Hall for many years, how could he not know this situation? ”

"Black and white poison is not simple, more than ten years ago, when the plague of the rivers and lakes, swaggering, after hiding his whereabouts, now he has reappeared in the rivers and lakes, but it seems to have changed his personality and acted secretly. There must be a reason for this, and you should be careful. A few days ago, the head of the sect has sent you, Uncle Lu, Zining and Xu Weixiang down the mountain to Mozhou to investigate the situation, and there will be news soon. ”

Li Zifeng's expression was awe-inspiring, and he was a little worried about the safety of the three of them, Shen Zhiping saw this and said, "Don't worry, there will be no danger with the secret guard's secret protection, your Uncle Lu has a flexible mind, and with him with him, there will be no problems." I'm worried about you right now. ”

The meaning of Shen Zhiping's words, how could Li Zifeng not understand that Lingye Palace was so aimed at himself, now only going back to the mountain is the safest, he Lingye Palace people have great courage, and they will not break into the sect.

In the past, when he went out to run errands, when he mentioned returning to the mountain, Li Zifeng's heart would always be inexplicably warm. But now it's all changed, and I never even want to go back to the mountain.

After pondering for a while, Li Zifeng said tentatively, "Uncle Shi, the disciple is still a little uneasy, and he wants to go..."

"Senior nephew!"

Before the word 'Mozhou' could be uttered, Shen Zhiping was anxiously interrupted, "You are weak now, how can you confront the people of Lingye Palace? Why don't you think about yourself?"

Li Zifeng finished speaking, and then calmed down, now going to Mozhou, not only can it not help, but it may also cause chaos, and then sighed deeply, "What you said, the disciples understand." Early tomorrow morning, the disciple and Shen Hongfei said a few words, and then set off for the mountain. ”

Besides, the mountain is not completely hopeless, at least there is still Qingyun, thinking of this, a faint smile appeared on the corner of Li Zifeng's mouth.

......

After a stick of incense, Li Zifeng returned to his residence in Qingsongtang, only to remember the sachet that Lingxi left for himself in the afternoon, observed the surroundings, found no one, took it out and opened it, inside was an ordinary jade pendant, no different from other jade pendants, but it was not right to think about it, carefully groped and looked through, and finally found something different!
