Chapter 94 Gifts
When the military attaché heard this, he shook his head first, and then replied respectfully:

"Sir, I'm not close, but I saw it very clearly, and even took a few more glances in secret.

There were scabs all over Li Cheng's fingers, but there was nothing. "

"There aren't even any scars?" The man in the iron mask asked again worriedly.

"Yes sir, the humble official dares to guarantee with his head."

"..., I understand, go back and rest,"

"Retire from humble office."

The conversation between the two was very brief, only lasting a few dozen breaths.

After the military attache left the private room,
The Confucian scholar sitting opposite the Iron Masked Man smiled and said slowly:

"I said before that Mr. Qin thought too much, but now it seems that what I said is true."

"Master Fei has been at the Yushitai where the clear stream gathers for many years. It is difficult for him to understand the intrigues and intrigues that we and other desperate people face."

After replying with a calm tone, the Iron Masked Man picked up the tea cup in front of him and drank it all in one gulp.

Sitting directly opposite him at this moment was the chief examiner of this year's Jiangnan Dao Rural Examination, Fei Yan, the censor of Zuodu in Yushitai.

Hearing the slight sarcasm in the words of the man in the iron mask, Fei Yan was not annoyed at all.

He tapped his index finger on the table unconsciously, pondered for a moment and then said to himself:

"If He Guangjie is not with Xie Tingfeng, where will he be?"

"I don't know, but it's most likely in Xie Tingfeng's hands."

Hearing this, Fei Yan raised his eyebrows calmly:

"...Could it be that Mr. Qin hasn't given up completely yet?"

Without waiting for the other party to answer, Fei Yan then went on to trace the source:
"Since Xie Tingfeng became seriously ill more than a month ago, Dr. Sun has been staying in Cangjian Lu.

It wasn't until the night when Li Cheng went to Jiangdu to light the sky lanterns that he had no choice but to be left there. "

"Xie Tingfeng has been sleeping since then, and it is definitely not a disguise.

Regarding this point, Xie Zhiyao, who was bought by us, swore that he dared to guarantee the lives of the whole family. "

talking room,
The smile on Fei Yan's face gradually faded, and there was a slight coldness in his eyes:
"Afterwards, Li Cheng successfully used the Tianwen Formation to awaken Xie Tingfeng.

Uncle Xuan, who had taken care of each other's daily life for many years, sent a message saying that the third master had never been alone with Li Cheng.

The life of my beloved grandson is firmly in your hands, Mr. Qin. I dare not lie even if I think about it..."

At this point, he paused for a moment, and his expression suddenly became colder:
"During the period before Xie Tingfeng died, he was almost completely under our surveillance.

So, assuming Mr. Qin’s guess is true, please tell me how Xie Tingfeng handed over the Heguang Ring to Li Cheng alone? "

Man in the Iron Mask: ...

Seeing that the other party was silent and did not answer,
Fei Yan snorted softly, with a hint of sarcasm at the corner of his mouth:
"I have thought of a way for Mr. Qin.

He can entrust the Heguang Ring to someone like Master Bai's nephew and have him hand it over to Li Cheng on his behalf. Wouldn't that avoid our sight? "

"No," he interrupted the other party with a soft voice. The man in the iron mask shook his head, his eyes determined:

"You don't know him. With his arrogant character, he would never leave this matter to others."

"That's strange," Fei Yan stared straight at the man in the iron mask, his expression like a pool of stagnant water:
"From beginning to end, we have no evidence to prove that Heguang Ring is in Xie Tingfeng's hands.

It was Mr. Qin who insisted on going his own way, relying solely on intuition, and wasted a lot of manpower and material resources.

Even now, are you still stubborn? "

Man in the Iron Mask: ...

silence for a moment,

The speechless man had no choice but to admit his mistake in a hoarse voice:

"Qin is too persistent. I will bear all the expenditure of manpower and material resources."

"Mr. Qin's words are quite serious,"

Fei Yan, who understood the principle of giving a sweet date a slap in the face, smiled and said:
"We should all be in the same boat right now, and what I just said is also a kind reminder."

said,

Fei Yan decisively stood up from the window, puffed up his sleeves, and looked out the window at the picturesque river scenery:

"Although I don't like Li Cheng, I sincerely admire his talent.

Even his casual remarks are worthy of careful consideration..."

Seeing that the Iron Masked Man had no intention of talking to him, Fei Yan paused for a moment and continued to sigh:

"If you say that spring is not too late, I will be in the real Jiangnan.

When I first heard this sentence, I didn't understand its meaning, but it was only when I was actually in Jiangnan during this trip that I realized how intoxicating it is. "

"Unfortunately, the autumn period has completely ended, and the wine at the Deer Ming Banquet has been drunk.

My mission is complete, it's time to go back and resume my life. "

Having said that,

He withdrew his gaze from the river, looked at the man in the iron mask with a smile, and said in a deep voice:

"Fei said goodbye to Mr. Qin. The mountains are high and the rivers are far away. I hope to meet you again in Chang'an one day."

After saying that, he turned around and walked out of the private room.

Looking at the other party's elegant and upright back, the Iron Masked Man still said in a hoarse voice:

"Master Fei, the journey is smooth."

"Thank you."

The sound of the wooden door being pushed open and then closed again sounded.

In the large private room, only the Iron Masked Man himself was left.

Some appear empty.

The autumn wind blew into the cabin from the river, quietly blowing the man in the iron mask's black hair mixed with silver.

Sitting silently for a long time,

He slowly bent down and took out the jar of red wine from the cabinet under the seat.

He skillfully opened the mud seal, and the rich aroma of wine suddenly spread out.

The wrist was raised and tilted, and a thin line was pulled out of the air. All of them fell into the tea cup, and beautiful hops floated.

The man in the iron mask picked up the tea cup with calm eyes, but did not drink it all in one gulp, but poured it all onto the wooden floor beside him.

When the last drop of Daughter's Red falls on the ground,

There was a flash of nostalgia in his eyes, followed by a deep sigh:

"Brother Tingfeng, have a good trip."

……

……

The moon is high in the sky and the night is quiet.

In less than an hour, Xie Tingfeng's first episode will be over.

The entire Xie Mansion can shed its white clothes and get out of the shadow of the death of the third master.

And this night was also Li Cheng's last day in Xie's Mansion.

When tomorrow dawns, he will return to Jiangnan Academy with his master and junior sister.

And at this moment,
Li Cheng, who should have gone to sleep to play cards with Duke Zhou, was sitting alone on the dark bedside, silent.

The reason why he did this was because of a joke that Xie Tingfeng casually said at the luncheon that day——

He hoped that on the day of the funeral, everyone would not go to bed too early to avoid actually seeing him.

Legend has it that during the first seven days, the soul of the deceased returns home to take one last look before reincarnation.

When he said this, Xie Tingfeng looked at him with a half-smile.

In the eyes of the other party, there was a somewhat unclear meaning.

This made Li Cheng very concerned these days, always feeling that there was something in the other person's words.

While he was thinking secretly,

A very subtle and crisp sound suddenly sounded in Li Cheng's ears.

The sound was very soft, like the sound of some kind of delicate mechanism.

Follow the reputation,

Li Cheng immediately saw a corner of the wooden floor beside the wall being pushed up.

Although he didn't know what was hidden there.

But relying on intuition,
He felt that it was a precious gift left by Xie Tingfeng to his nephew.
