Defying the Martial Way to Burn the Heavens

When Zuo Feng heard what An Xiong said, he felt a little displeasure in his heart, and An Xiong immediately noticed that Zuo Feng's expression was different. Sa Ran smiled and said: "Of course, even if you fail to win this trial, I will still help you negotiate with Lin Lang. At that time, I will not pose any threat to his position as county governor, and neither will he." Reason for rejection."

As soon as An Xiong said this, Zuo Feng's expression softened. And if you think about it seriously, what An Xiong said just now is also reasonable and reasonable. The value of Vine Power to the county guard mainly lies in the fact that his strength can affect the results of the trial. But now that these uses of Vine Power are no longer there, there is no reason for him to prevent him from returning to the village.

But Zuo Feng still didn't know whether Teng Li encountered an accident while being chased or if the county guard used some method on him. ‘If it’s the latter, then I will make you regret the poisonous hand you dealt with Brother Teng Li. ’ Zuo Feng thought for a moment and said in his heart.

Afterwards, he and An Xiong casually chatted about some things, and Zuo Feng also asked about the group of men in gray. What surprised Zuo Feng was that Anxiong seemed ambiguous on this matter. An Xiong confirmed Zuo Feng's previous guess that there was indeed some connection between Commander Zhang Yu and the county guard, and a group of widows of bandits were now staying in Zhang Yu's house.

However, the investigation of the relationship between Zhang Yu, or rather the bandits, and the group of men in gray was unclear. Zuo Feng felt that Anxiong might have mastered some secrets, but he just didn't want to tell him.

Afterwards, the two chatted for a while. What surprised Zuo Feng was that An Xiong seemed to care a lot about Tian Tian. Although Zuo Feng felt a little puzzled, Anya liked Tiantian very much, and it was normal for her to often mention it in front of An Xiong. So Zuo Feng didn't think too much, chatted for a few words again, got up and left.

Zuo Feng went directly to "Zuo Yun Trading House" this time. Where are his family and the main people in the village now. This time I followed Uncle Tian back to Yancheng and directly attended the celebration banquet prepared by An Xiong. He was also very concerned about the current situation of the shop, and since Anxiong just said nothing about those people in gray, he hoped to get some accurate information.

In a small, secluded room at Zuo Yun Trading House, the fifth elder was deep in thought after listening to Zuo Feng's inquiry. After being silent for a while, the fifth elder slowly spoke.

"Recently, Yancheng has been somewhat unusual. Many forces that are usually active have become extremely quiet during this period. And recently, although this most prosperous main street is still as prosperous as before, I I found that the transaction volume in the store has become extremely scarce.”

When the fifth elder said this, his expression became more and more solemn, and he obviously felt extremely inappropriate about this situation. He then continued: "I also sent people out to inquire privately, but after all, we are not natives of this place, and the information is still pitiful compared to other forces."

When he said this, the fifth elder couldn't help but let out a long sigh. Zuo Feng couldn't help but nodded slightly at this time. He had considered the situation mentioned by the fifth elder before, so they would try their best to get closer to the city lord's palace. But now it seems that if our group of people does not completely belong to the city lord's mansion, they still cannot fully gain the city lord's trust.

After all, Zuojia Village and the City Lord's Mansion were not two equal forces from the beginning, and the basis of their current cooperation completely depends on Zuo Feng's huge utilization value. But Zuo Feng also understood the value of this, which was to help the city lord Anxiong obtain the qualification to challenge the county governor, if this goal could be achieved. It is still unknown how the city lord's palace will treat the group of people in Zuojiacun afterwards.

Seeing Zuo Feng's frown, the fifth elder thought that Zuo Feng was still thinking about the previous problem. He opened his mouth and continued: "Although we haven't found any information recently, the little guys under your command seem to have gained something."

"My little guys?"

Zuo Feng repeated with a surprised look on his face, and then his mind flashed to Zuo Hou's group of teenagers, and he understood what the fifth elder was referring to. When he handed those "Body Training Powders" to Zuo Hou, he also gave special instructions to him to pay more attention to the surroundings of the shop. After hearing the great elder's words, Zuo Feng immediately understood what they meant.

"Those little guys are really smart, and they are all in their teens, which makes it easier for them to gather information. If I am an old guy, I might not be able to explain it clearly. I might as well call them Let me tell you directly."

The great elder explained with a smile, then stood up and walked out the door. Zuo Feng came back this time and found that the fifth elder had also undergone some changes. In the past, this old man from the mountains was not good at talking, and he was rigid in doing things and did not know how to adapt. But this time when he came back, he found that the fifth elder was more like a businessman than before, both inside and out.

‘It seems that borrowing shopkeeper Tong from the City Lord’s Mansion was a wise choice. Judging from this situation for a while, these five elders will be able to support this trading house alone. Maybe these five elders already have talents in this area, but they just live in a small mountain village and have no chance to display and use their talents in this area. ’

While Zuo Feng was thinking, three thin figures sprang out quickly. The young man who was as thin as a monkey was none other than Zuo Hou, Zuo Feng's friend whom he had not seen for many days. The two teenagers following him looked about twelve or thirteen years old, slightly younger than Zuo Feng.

Zuo Feng vaguely remembered these two teenagers, one named Zuo Qing and the other Zuo Jun. These two young men had originally followed Zuo Feng to help deal with the group of bandits who had attacked the migrating team. Smiling and nodding to the two of them, the two teenagers' faces turned red with joy and excitement when they saw Zuo Feng smiling and greeting them.

Seeing Zuo Feng staring blankly at the two teenagers, Zuo Hou also looked back at the two teenagers and reacted immediately. Then he explained to Zuo Feng: "Now that these young people in the village know that you won the Spiral Tower Trial, they all regard you as an idol. And I heard that there are many people in the Youth League who want to quit. Just join our gang."

After listening to what Zuo Hou said, Zuo Feng became a little confused for a moment. But soon Zuo Feng said with a solemn face: "For the time being, it is better to keep a distance from the people of the Young Regiment. It is best for those of us not to come into contact with them in the near future."

Zuo Hou was stunned for a moment and said smoothly: "That guy Fujifang really took refuge in Zhang Yu?"

This time, Zuo Feng was a little surprised. He stared at Zuo Hou for a long time before hesitatingly said: "Everyone knows?"

Zuo Hou looked at Zuo Feng with the same surprise, then shook his head and said: "This is also inferred from some clues we accidentally found, but after you participated in the trial, that kid also disappeared. , this time you have returned, but he is still missing. It was also because I heard you say to keep a distance from Shaotuan that I thought of my previous speculation again. "

After staring at Zuo Hou for a long time, Zuo Feng nodded slightly and said, "I can't tell that your cultivation has improved so much during this period, and your character has matured a lot. Just from my I thought of this in just a few words. It seems that the fifth elder said that you have learned something about the situation around you. "

Zuo Hou scratched his head in embarrassment and said with some embarrassment: "I didn't feel like it at first, but it made me feel embarrassed when you said that. Don't divert the topic away, let's talk about that guy Fujikata first. From your tone, it sounds like Fujikata has really taken refuge in Zhang Yu."

Zuo Feng didn't want to say much at first, so he took the topic elsewhere, but he didn't expect Zuo Hou to still hold on to it. He could only nod reluctantly and told the story of how he met Tengfang during the Spin Tower trial. Zuo Feng naturally didn't say much about the manipulation of the Spin Tower.

After listening to this, Zuo Hou nodded gloomily and said, "I didn't expect this guy to actually defect to Zhang Yu and the others. Fortunately, all our previous actions were conducted while avoiding the Young Tuan. So he just wanted to betray him. We don’t know some important things at all.”

Zuo Feng nodded and said: "Don't worry about this person for the time being. The situation at the Spin Tower still depends on the final decision of the empire. Now you should talk about the recent situation in Yancheng. I What I’m most worried about now is that the people in the village are still living their lives in other people’s schemes.”

Zuo Feng really didn't want to get entangled in Teng Fang's topic. The main reason for this was that it would make him subconsciously think of Teng Li who was in the governor's house. Although Teng Li's life was not seriously injured, it was unclear whether being so seriously injured by himself would leave any hidden dangers. And what effect did the self-mutilation secrets and martial arts taught to him by the county guard have on Teng Li's body? How much damage will be done?

These problems gave Zuo Feng a headache, and it was not the time to mention this to the people in the village. We can only wait and see how things develop and see if Anxiong can fulfill his promise.

"If we can sum up the current situation of Yancheng, it can be described as 'calm on the surface, but undercurrents on the inside'. I think the fifth elder also told you about the current situation of the trading house. The streets are still as bustling as before. It’s lively, and there are still a lot of customers coming and going in the shop every day, but the transaction volume has dropped a lot.”

Zuo Feng nodded. Apparently Zuo Hou just started, so he didn't say much, but waited for Zuo Hou to continue. Zuo Hou seemed to be sorting out his thoughts. After a moment, he raised his head and said with firm eyes.

"What you told me to investigate last time was only a rough idea, but after thinking and analyzing myself, I divided the partners around me into several groups to explore around. And if some groups find something, I will immediately join them. That group goes to help.”

Zuo Feng nodded again, this time in affirmation of Zuo Hou. In the days without him by his side, this good brother who has not had a formal appearance since he was a child is extremely capable in doing things, which makes his friend who grew up together have to look at him with admiration.
