The large courtyard where Zuo Feng was located had a platform made of square stones at each corner. The platform was not high or wide, and there was nothing special about it except for an extremely strange bronze drum.

Although the material of the bronze drum was not special, the patterns carved on it were very special. There were animal-like protrusions distributed around the bronze drum, and there were cloud-like and fire-like patterns wrapped around the bronze drum.

If there were experts in formations and runes like Zuo Feng, they would be able to see that whether it was the animal head or the patterns on the surface, they all contained obscure runes, and finally formed a formation that wrapped the bronze drum.

At this moment, a warrior standing next to the bronze drum was holding two huge drumsticks and beating the surface of the bronze drum. If it was a normal drum made of metal materials, it could only be used as a decoration and could not make any sound at all.

But now the bronze drum in front of him could make a huge sound by constantly beating it, and it sounded like dozens of drums were being struck together, with a murderous momentum of thousands of horses galloping.

At this moment, under the war drum in the southwest corner, two middle-aged men were standing with their hands behind their backs, their expressions were extremely solemn, and they seemed to be thinking about something.

The middle-aged man standing behind the two men would secretly glance at the two men in front from time to time.

"Shu Guan Accounting Office, this matter is too important. I hope you will think about it again and again before making a decision. After all, this will directly affect the family's plan in Kuo City." The person who spoke was one of the middle-aged men, and he was also another guest official here besides Yanzhi.

Hearing the words of the guest, Shuguan, the accountant, frowned slightly, but said in a cold voice: "Didn't you hear what Shujiang said just now? Do you know that the Lin family we represent represents the super family of the Xuanwu Empire? Now someone comes to our door and shits on our heads. How can we tolerate this?"

The man standing respectfully in the back was Shujiang who came here to report the news through the secret passage. Hearing the words of the accountant Shuguan, he was delighted and immediately said: "What the accountant said is very true. Although it is just a small place in the family, those are the clansmen under the protection of the Lin family after all. Now that they have been bullied like this, they are also ruthlessly killed. This... This is simply a shame for the family."

When Shujiang was speaking, the guest in front turned his head and glared at him coldly. Shujiang hurriedly lowered his head and dared not say anything, but there was a faint smile in his eyes, and it was obvious that he did not take the guest seriously.

"It's such a big thing, it's not easy for the two of us to make a decision on our own. It's better to inform the chief shopkeeper." Ignoring Shu Jiang, the guest turned around and looked at the accountant Shu Guan again and suggested.

Looking over with a smile, the accountant Shu Guan shook his head and said, "Brother, your name is Nitang, you can't stay in the mud and not make progress. You and Yanzhi are both guests, but your status is very different. Isn't it because you have been timid and afraid of things over the years, 'not seeking merit but only seeking no mistakes'?"

Ignoring the ugly face of the guest Nitang, the accountant Shu Guan continued, "The transformation of the formation is very consuming for the chief shopkeeper. Now it is probably the critical time for the retreat. If I go to disturb you, I know what the consequences of angering the chief shopkeeper are.

In fact, you also understand that if Yanzhi was not injured and was healing at this moment, I would not even ask for your opinion. Brother Nitang didn't see that this is not only my opportunity, but also your opportunity."

Listening to Shuguan's words with a gloomy face, the guest named Nitang seemed to still want to say something. However, he was interrupted impatiently by Shu Guan, who pointed to the distance and said, "The family members are rushing over when they hear the martial arts drum. If you keep talking, don't blame me for not giving you face in front of the younger generation."

The guest official looked extremely ugly, and it was obvious that he was very reluctant, but he could only sigh heavily and said no more.

Shu Jiang, who stood respectfully behind the two of them, lowered his head, but the smile on his face gradually widened, and he was secretly proud of his foresight at the time.

Long before he came to Kuocheng, he had made some preparations in advance and gave a large sum of money to the accountant Shu Guan in front of him. If not, I believe Shu Guan would not agree so happily this time.

In the distance, the sound of breaking wind and the powerful spiritual energy fluctuations continued to appear in the perception, and they were gathering quickly towards this side.

The lowest of these people have reached the early stage of the Qi Sensing Stage, and the higher ones have even reached the early and middle stages of the Qi Receiving Stage.

There were about 200 warriors approaching quickly, which made Shu Jiang even more ecstatic. Although he was in charge of that side street in Kuocheng, he didn't know the situation in the old city, and he didn't know how many strong people the family had here. He only knew that the strength should be strong.

Seeing so many strong people in front of him, Shu Jiang understood that the trouble tonight was no longer a trouble. With such a large group of people, he would definitely make those troublemakers die.

Many warriors who flew over consciously stood respectfully under the bronze drum. Instead, a young warrior walked slowly to Shu Guan and Ni Tang and bowed respectfully.

Shu Jiang didn't know the person in front of him, so he looked up and down with curiosity. Shu Guan and Ni Tang naturally recognized the person in front of them. Shu Guan took the lead and said, "The family is in some trouble now, and we need to urgently call a group of people to solve it. This operation can be regarded as the highest level. Shu Kun, you are responsible for selecting the personnel. Select a total of 150 people and follow me."

The young man who came forward alone was Shu Kun, who had just been promoted. After hearing what Shu Guan said, he was shocked and almost let out a happy cry.

Since the family entered Kuo City, the recent period of time can be regarded as the most frequent actions, and the only one that could reach the highest level of action was the failed blockade outside the painter.

If he participated in such an action in the past, Shu Kun would be depressed to death, because the danger of this level of action would never be small. But now he is looking forward to it, because he is now the leader of the team, and he does not need to charge in front. If the action is successful, his contribution will far exceed that of others.

After clasping his fists and answering "yes" in a deep voice, Shu Kun turned to face the warriors behind him. At this time, nearly 200 warriors have almost arrived. Even Zuo Feng and Shu Suo have just arrived here.

After vaguely hearing what Shu Guan just said, Zuo Feng seemed to think of something, and while thinking about it, the corners of his mouth unconsciously curled up slightly.

The one who was completely different from Zuo Feng was Shu Suo, who was standing beside him. He looked at Shu Kun in front of him, with flames of resentment and jealousy burning in his eyes.

Just now, Shu Kun was the first to react, and he left quickly without even a word of warning. He saw that the family's martial arts drum was struck, which was a great opportunity for him. .

Facts have proved that Shu Kun's guess was completely correct, but at that time he didn't pay any attention to Shu Suo at all, obviously not wanting to share such a good opportunity with him.

It has to be said that although these two people are equally selfish, Shu Kun is slightly better in terms of scheming and reaction. At this moment, Shu Kun, who was standing in front of the team, smiled peacefully and began to choose people to participate in the action in the team.

When he walked in front of Shu Suo and Zuo Feng, Shu Kun pretended to be intimate and approached and said: "Big brother and fourth brother will act with me in a while, and you don't have to rush to the front. When I come back to ask for credit, you two brothers will definitely not be missing."

At this moment, Shu Suo's face was very strange. He was obviously suppressing his anger, but he had to force a smile. It looked like his face was almost paralyzed.

Zuo Feng, on the other hand, naturally showed a warm smile on his face, clasped his hands in front of his chest, and thanked him profusely.

Without stopping for long, Shu Kun continued to walk on and continued to select warriors to participate in the action. A careful observation will reveal that most of the people selected by Shu Kun have cultivation levels above the middle stage of Qi Sensing. Even Zuo Feng, who is at the late stage of Qi Sensing, can only be ranked last among them.

Looking at Shu Kun who was selecting warriors, Ni Tang couldn't help but say: "Shu Guan Accounting Office, we shouldn't have participated in this action. If you finally decide to participate, I hope you still don't call on these people in front of you. They are our biggest trump cards in Kuo City."

"That's why I need to let these people participate. Otherwise, if I send those with weak strength, what's the point? If they suffer losses in the end, will you bear the responsibility?" Shu Guan became more and more dissatisfied, and glanced coldly at Ni Tang, the guest beside him.

Sighing, Ni Tang shook his head weakly, and he also listened to what Shu Jiang said. The young man of the Gui family was very radical in his actions, and with Shu Jiang's exaggerated narration, he was also very angry.

But he was still calm after all. After careful analysis, he thought there were still some inappropriate places, so he stood up and tried his best to stop it.

But after all, he was just a guest of the family, and he was a guest of the lowest status far inferior to Yanzhi. Shu Guan ignored him because of his insignificance. In fact, the more he persuaded, the more determined Shu Guan was to take care of this matter.

When Shu Kun returned, Shu Guan waved his hand without hesitation and said, "I won't say any more nonsense. This action can only succeed and not fail. Except for people from our family, all strangers you see are enemies. You know what to do."

"Kill!"

The roar of one hundred and fifty warriors in unison was even more than the beating of the previous martial arts drums. It was like the solemn and murderous aura before the army went out to war.

After issuing the order, Shuguan looked at the guest official Nitang with high spirits and said, "How about it, Mr. Guest Official, would you like to go with me?"

Waving his hand without hesitation, the guest official Nitang directly refused and said, "The head shopkeeper is in seclusion to recover from the damage, and the guest official Yanzhi is still healing. We must leave someone here to take charge."

With a disdainful smile on his face, Shuguan was too lazy to say another word. He moved and rose up, flying towards the center of the courtyard.

More than a hundred warriors behind him also rose up quickly. This force has exceeded more than half of the power of the Shu family in Kuocheng at this moment. Looking at those gradually disappearing figures, Nitang's face showed deep worry.
