When Zhao Xifeng woke up again, he was lying on a familiar bed, which was the same bed that was used when he was pierced in the back by the killer two years ago and came to the school to recuperate.

All the scenes are familiar, and Li Xuan is still holding the star stone in his hand, and Li Xuan is still lying on the side of the bed.

Zhao Xifeng looked at Li Xuan's sleeping side face, two years have passed, and the person in front of him has gradually changed from a cowardly little girl to a girl with a marked face.

Without disturbing Li Xuan, Zhao Xifeng got up lightly, got dressed and walked out of the room silently.

The night outside the house was dark, and the cold rain at the end of autumn was crackling and knocking on every eaves of the school, and occasionally one or two drops fell on the back of Zhao Xifeng's bare hands and cheeks, cold to the bone.

Zhao Xifeng walked silently all the way, and came to the only room with lights on in the school, which was Zhou Zhe's teaching room, and when he was hesitating, the door opened without wind, and Zhou Zhe stood at the door, looking at him with a silent smile.

"Sir, I have something to ask you. Zhao Xifeng's face was calm and a little solemn.

Zhou Zhe's smile remained unchanged, and after a hum, he asked, "What do you want to know?"

Zhao Xifeng didn't think about it, and blurted out: "I want to know everything, my life experience, this stone, my father's affairs, and the short sword I picked up." ”

Zhou Zhi looked at Zhao Xifeng and was silent for a long time, nodded and said, "You come in." ”

Compared with the teaching office of Beiyue Academy, this side of the school is extremely simple, with a bookshelf, a desk, and two wooden chairs, nothing more.

After the two of them sat down, Zhou Zhe straightened out his thoughts and said slowly: "Thirteen years ago, that is, the year when the star tide came into the world, Zhao Yuzhen, the princess of Yongle of the Great Zhou, was robbed and killed in front of the town by the previous generation of Baihai Sikui on the way back, you know this. ”

Zhao Xifeng nodded, this matter has long been known to the world.

"At that time, the princess was actually pregnant with Liujia and left a child before she died," Zhou Zhe paused slightly, "I think you should be that child." ”

Zhao Xifeng thought about all kinds of possibilities, but the craziest one didn't expect that he would have something to do with the royal family, and he couldn't speak for a long time.

"No," Zhao Xifeng frowned, "Princess Yongle's death happened thirteen years ago, and I'm only twelve years old this year. ”

Zhou Zhe nodded and said: "This is also the reason why Master Kuhai and I have never dared to confirm your identity easily, until that day, you opened the Liancheng Array with your own blood at the north wall of the town, and even Long Yabi successfully recognized the master, this is completely certain, as for the year of disappearance... After all, it is the star tide descending, anything can happen, and I don't know the specific reason, you may need to ask my master. ”

"This short sword..."Zhao Xifeng looked down at the short sword that he took out from the pillow, frowned and asked, for some reason, since he first touched this sword, he was full of different feelings for this black and pitted short sword, and the short sword seemed to be extremely obedient to him, as if it was an extension of Zhao Xifeng's body.

"That's your mother's relic, the sword name is Dragon Yabi, and it is as famous as the tiger eye in Miss Zhong's body, and it is a rare treasure. Zhou Zhe took over the conversation and said softly.

After another period of silence, Zhao Xifeng touched the body of the sword and laughed at himself: "I am obviously the child of a post pawn, and now I have become the child of a princess, and what is even more ironic is that according to rumors from the outside world, it was my adoptive father who killed my biological mother, hey!"

"About your father..."Zhou Zhe organized the wording and continued, "I'm afraid it's not an ordinary person, Li Xuan once mentioned to me when he came back, Zhao Lao claimed to be Mi Yunwei's person, Mi Yunwei is the most brave and good at fighting under my uncle Zhou Beichen, although the number is not large, only forty-four, and there is not a single cultivator, but all of them are extremely profound martial arts masters, with the strength of the peak of the consensus and even the initial realm of knowledge, and they are extremely good at battle formation coordination, which makes the grassland people frightened, and there is even such a saying at that time

。 If Mr. Zhao is really a member of Miyunwei, then what will be the outcome of this trip to Beijing, I am afraid that it is impossible for the Supervision Department and the Parliamentary Department to overpower the Privy Council and the Ministry of War. ”

"This old guy, he hid it deep enough, when he was exercising with me, he always pretended to be weak and deceived me so hard," Zhao Xifeng smiled bitterly, and after a moment of silence, he said: "I don't worry, he is also my father anyway, I want to go to Beijing to find him." ”

Zhou Zhe smiled slightly, he had already guessed that Zhao Xifeng would say this, so he replied: " It's okay, Master Dry Sea went, for a period of time in the future, the town may not be quiet, you have a heavy treasure, and I can't take care of you all the time, it's safer to go out, on the other hand, the young eagle always has to fly out to see the outside world in order to grow, it's just the best place in the capital, there are countless capable people, and it's a hundred times more complicated than the town, and it's not very convenient for you to go alone without a care, I found a Kyoto guide for you, which should be able to help you a little. ”

"Guide, dare to ask who Mr. is?" Zhao Xifeng asked curiously.

Zhou Zhe smiled and said, "You will know from the south of the town tomorrow morning." ”

Zhao Xifeng nodded and said goodbye to Zhou Zhe.

Leaving Zhou Zhe's room, Zhao Xifeng did not leave the school immediately, but took a detour back to the room where he came out.

Li Xuan was still resting in the room, Zhao Xifeng went in lightly, looked at Li Xuan's back, and sighed softly: "At the beginning, Master Kuhai passed on your Garuda technique, the original intention was good, but it also planted a lifelong hidden danger, and then the master said that he would solve it for you, but before he started, he went west first, and I was beaten countless times at the hands of Zhong Li's girl, just to exchange her to save you, but there is no news until today." ”

Zhao Xifeng whispered to himself, but Li Xuan still didn't have the slightest reaction.

"That's all my brother can do for you, I hope this thing can save you from the suffering of Garuda. Zhao Xifeng sighed again, put down something in the crook of Li Xuan's arm, and turned to leave.

Behind her, two more lines of tears flowed out of Li Xuan's closed eyes, and in the palm of her hand, a stone the size of two adult thumbs was shining with faint starlight.

Leaving the Panlong Academy, Zhao Xifeng walked all the way to the small temple at the south gate of the town.

After the dry sea left, the fence of the small temple became an ordinary fence, and there was no longer a self-repair function, and it was already dilapidated at the moment, but the peach tree that was bloomed by Mo Qiuyang's words was still in full bloom in the autumn rain.

Zhao Xifeng lowered his head and was silent for a long time, just like he did in the illusion of reincarnation, kicked down the fence, pushed the door and walked into the small temple, and respectfully kowtowed to the empty futon three times, and couldn't kneel for a long time.

In the early morning of the second day, Zhao Xifeng returned to his home without Zhao Wu, first went back to the room to pack some clothes, picked up the marching kettle when he entered the mountain alone last summer, and took out a shovel from the kitchen, and dug out a dusty blue-gray cloth bag under Zhao Wu's bed.

After everything was ready, Zhao Xifeng stepped out of the house, smiled brightly at Aunt Li who was full of worry, and then strode forward, gave the other party a big hug, and then walked towards the south gate of the town without looking back, leaving Aunt Li crying silently.

When Zhao Xifeng, who was in a heavy mood, arrived at the south gate of the town, he was stunned to find several acquaintances, all looking at him with a smile.

Gu Qingyuan, Dong Sizhong, Sun Wenzhen, the three of them were full of all kinds of luggage, and they looked like they were about to go far away, but it was him, a package, a kettle, and a short sword, as if they were going on an outing.

"What are you doing here?" Zhao Xifeng asked blankly.

Dong Erpang laughed and said, "In addition to the injured Han Xiao and the Chang family brothers, Sister Xuan was also stopped by Mr. Zhou, and the rest of the people are here!"

Gu Qingyuan smiled heartily and said, "The capital has a prosperous style of learning, and Qingyuan has long wanted to see it." ”

Sun Wenzhen shook her head with a wry smile and said: "Brother Xifeng, you also know that my restaurant was destroyed, and it is difficult to do business, I am going to inspect for my father to see if I can open a branch in the capital." ”

Zhao Xifeng felt that there was a warm current that had never flowed from the bottom of his heart and gradually spread to his eyes, but this trip was too dangerous, and the enemy he faced was likely to be the Supervision Department, the largest violent organ in Dazhou, so he was about to suppress his emotions and refused with a straight face, when he suddenly heard a little coquettish voice from behind him.

"Panlong Academy selects suitable candidates to go to Beijing for a study tour, and the study tour team will be led by me personally, I have reported this matter to Mr. Zhou Zhe, Zhao Xifeng, you have been selected, go to Qingyuan to register. ”

Zhao Xifeng's body stiffened slightly, turned around, and saw Zhong Li sitting in a wheelchair, pushed by two deacons of the Emperor Extreme Sect, slowly coming to the front, although he was half a cut short in the wheelchair, but his eyes looking at Zhao Xifeng were still "condescending", and his expression seemed to be smiling.

The two looked at each other for a while, Zhao Xifeng suddenly smiled and said, "Xifeng thanked Master Xi. ”

After that, he touched Zhong Li's head quickly at a lightning speed, and then fled as if he was flying, and walked over to Gu Qingyuan, who had already turned out the registration documents, and kept shouting in his mouth, registered!

Zhong Li's face changed greatly, and he was about to go crazy, Zhao Xifeng had already walked away, so he squinted his eyes at Zhao Xifeng's back and showed a smile, his expression was like a cat that had been stroked, and he revealed a little arrogance in satisfaction, and then instantly straightened his face again.

On the corner of the street in the distance, Zhou Zhe smiled and watched a group of children playing and making trouble, gradually disappearing at the gate of the city, and sighed: "This group of children has arrived in the capital, I don't know how much movement they have to toss, if I am Pei Yuanhou or an old ghost in the Supervision Department, I will probably have a headache for a while." ”

Not far from Zhou Zhe, Butcher Zhang rarely appeared in the butcher shop today, but stood in the puddle where the autumn rain had not disappeared last night, watching a group of teenagers talk and laugh out of the city, with a rare kind smile on his face.

"It's good to be young," Butcher Zhang sighed and turned around and walked away slowly, the puddles on the ground rippled.
