Defying the Martial Way to Burn the Heavens

"Tianle, have you gained anything today?" The shopkeeper picked up the tea bowl, took a sip, and then turned to look at Zuo Feng and said.

In addition to the big shopkeeper, the two guests Yanzhi and Nitang sat on the left and right in the room. There are also two old men, about fifty years old, sitting in the corner of the room. People who just enter the room tend to ignore the existence of these two people.

Except for these five people, no one else in the room was qualified to sit down. Shu Suo and Shu Kun stood with their hands down. When the big shopkeeper asked, they both turned to look.

Although the two of them had expressionless faces and no emotion in their eyes, Zuo Feng could read a hint of jealousy in their eyes. But Zuo Feng didn't take it seriously at all, because when the big shopkeeper was willing to accept him as his disciple, Zuo Feng had already guessed that these two people would definitely behave like they did today.

After bowing and saluting, Zuo Feng said calmly: "Zuixiang Tower is still very quiet, or they deliberately kept a low profile. No suspicious people came or went, and there was no movement inside.

It's just that after we made a fuss, the business seemed a little deserted, especially the business in the gambling house was much worse than the previous few days. The brothels and restaurants were operating as usual, and nothing amiss was found. "

There was silence in the room, no one spoke, everyone stayed quiet and listened to Zuo Feng's words.

After a pause, Zuo Feng continued: "There were quite a lot of movements in the Su family during the day today. After inquiring, I found out something about the battle that took place outside the Wang family's residence last night, and a large number of Ghost Painter warriors were strangled. The Su and Wang families should be because of For this reason, I planned to kill all the ghost painters, so I sent out many people.”

After taking a gentle sip of tea, the shopkeeper slowly put down the tea cup and said calmly: "Well, not bad, it's not bad to be able to get this information."

In the past, Zuo Feng might have felt that the big shopkeeper was mocking him. But of course the big shopkeeper would do this now, and when he said "not bad", it was obviously a genuine compliment.

After thinking about it carefully, Zuo Feng roughly understood that obviously the big shopkeeper obtained the battle last night through some unknown channels, while his own information came through "snooping". In comparison, his own ability I'm afraid it's really worth bragging about.

Shusuo glanced at Zuo Feng secretly, seemed to hesitate for a moment, then looked at the big shopkeeper and said: "The Suwang family is working so hard to search for ghost painters at this time. It's hard to say that this is not a gesture."

"Oh, then what do you think their purpose is?" The big shopkeeper picked up the tea cup again and asked with interest.

Shu Suo smiled sinisterly and said: "Their target is not just as simple as the ghost painter. After that night's battle, our existence has been exposed. It is difficult to say that the current actions of the Su Wang family have no intention to target us."

On the surface, there was no change, but a flash of lightning seemed to flash across Zuo Feng's mind. The question that he had not been able to figure out all day suddenly made him understand because of Shu Suo's words.

Although there was only a slight change for a moment, the shopkeeper who was gently drinking tea put down the teacup with a smile and said: "Tianle, what, what do you have in mind."

Feeling dark in his heart, Zuo Feng knew that he had just lost his composure, so he naturally needed to keep calm at this time. He glanced at Shu Suo and said, "Brother is very thoughtful. I only had such worries before, but I felt that my worries were unfounded. Now I realize that brother I think so, and I suddenly feel that this matter is very worrying.”

Shu Kun laughed secretly, but the flesh on Shu Suo's face twitched slightly. Zuo Feng could catch the thoughts in the two people's minds. Shu Kun thought that he clearly didn't expect it, so he had to pretend to understand at this time, while Shu Suo wanted to show off, but now he found that Zuo Feng had stolen the limelight. After all, Zuo Feng said that he had thought of this level a long time ago.

On the contrary, the big shopkeeper's face was calm. He was not surprised by such things among the artists. In his opinion, Zuo Feng's actions made him appear more shrewd and sophisticated.

Although his face was a bit ugly, Shu Suo still had to force himself to smile and said: "Lao San is smart, so it's not surprising that he can think of it. I also saw the situation in front of me, and I couldn't help but have an extra layer of worry. I guess there is no such thing as Lao San Think deeply.”

Since the failure to deal with Zuo Feng last time made the big shopkeeper appreciate Zuo Feng more and directly accepted Zuo Feng as his disciple, Shu Suo knew that he could no longer target Zuo Feng for the time being, so he could only endure it even though he was suffering a loss.

Of course, Zuo Feng didn't care about being overpowered by the rope. At this time, he was even more worried, but he wanted to calm down and said: "Brother, this is a joke on me. Brother is worried about the family, and I am also worried about the family." Worrying, there is nothing that can be seen from a distance or up close. I just hope that the family will have to take precautions. "

With a faint smile, the big shopkeeper didn't show any worry at all, but said calmly: "Since there is nothing major, let's go back and have a rest early. The situation is now in our favor, everyone just needs to be careful not to make any mistakes."

It was obvious that the big shopkeeper didn't care too much about what was being discussed at the moment, and waved his hand to signal Zuo Feng Shusuo and them to leave. With the big shopkeeper's order, everyone obediently clasped their fists and saluted, and then hurriedly left the room.

It wasn't until several people left the room that Yanzhi turned to the big shopkeeper and asked: "What those two juniors said is not unreasonable. If the Guihua family were still here, we don't have to worry for the time being, but the Guihua family is now in ruins." At this level, don’t we need to worry?”

The big shopkeeper nodded, looked at the other two old men, and said, "Hengwu, Hengliu, two old men, how is the situation over there?"

These two old men had never spoken a word before, as if they had been forgotten. It seemed funny to hear the names of the two at this moment. However, people in the Shu family understand that "Zong Heng Tian Xia" is the status ranking of the Shu surname. Since these two people are called "Heng Wu Heng Liu", they obviously have a high status in the family.

When asked by the big shopkeeper, the two of them naturally stopped pretending to be deaf and dumb. One of the old men slowly said: "We have recently begun to evacuate people from some of our strongholds in the city, and some shops that are of little use have also been closed. Those Everyone has been quietly sent to the outskirts of the old city."

Another old man said: "The people who were evacuated from Zuixiang Tower were only temporarily resettled before. Now that the family's secret passage cannot be used, I arranged them in the family.

Although the losses in the previous battle with the ghost painter were not small, with the addition of these people, our strength has recovered a lot, but the level of cultivation is a little worse than before.

However, the real means of us magicians is never to fill things in with people without thinking. If someone dares to take action against us, we still have many means. "

When these two old men spoke, they were full of confidence, and their status was not much worse than that of the big shopkeeper.

After listening to what the two old men said, Yanzhi said: "It turns out that the big shopkeeper has already taken precautions, so my worries are unnecessary."

Smiling slightly, the big shopkeeper raised his hand and patted Yanzhi's shoulder lightly, and said: "It's all for the good of the family. Only by pooling our wisdom can we make it watertight. It's just that the elders Hengwu and Hengliu had plans before. Shujiang has caused such a mess, so naturally the two of them have to help me maintain it. "

Then he turned to look at the two old men, and the big shopkeeper said politely: "While the Suwang family is focusing their attention on the ghost painter, we have also made arrangements. You two elders have been really busy these days. Thank you for your hard work, go back and take a rest."

The two old men known as Hengwu and Hengliu were not polite. They stood up and nodded, then pushed the door open and walked out.

"Why are these two people so..." Another guest, Ni Tang, frowned and looked at the closed door, and couldn't help but say.

It's just that he was quite cautious. Although he made a start, he didn't say anything else.

The big shopkeeper didn't care, and said with a smile: "Although they both belong to the 'horizontal' generation like me, their eldest brother is one of the top five people in the elders' house, so they naturally have to be tough in their words and actions. Some.

In addition, Na Shujiang was the nephew of both of them, but he was executed by me with the death penalty of the family. Of course, they were very dissatisfied. As long as the two of them are arrogant here, when the Kuocheng incident happens, I will make them pay the price for the Shujiang incident. "

Because Yanzhi and Nitang did not belong to a purely internal martial arts family, the big shopkeeper could tell them some things. When the two of them heard what the big shopkeeper said, they nodded knowingly.

Turning his head slightly, the big shopkeeper glanced at Rouge and said, "How are you doing with the things I asked you to do? I haven't shown up for several days in a row. I guess some people already have some ideas in their minds."

Yanzhi knew that the big shopkeeper was referring to Heng Wu Heng Liu, and replied with a smile: "So I just came back today, and I immediately showed up in public. Things are going well. Although I have prepared this move in advance, it is not a last resort. I think It’s better not to use it.”

Nodding, the expression on the big shopkeeper's face relaxed, and he responded softly: "That's natural. Of course, the means must be prepared in advance, but whether they are used or not depends on the development of the matter. Of course I hope that those means Its not mandatory."

While the three of them were discussing in the quiet room, Zuo Feng was also considering the same issue.

‘Rouge has been missing these days. With such an important identity, she must be planning something if she doesn’t show her face for several days. There are also those two old men. Although their auras are very vague, they are obviously not good people. The water for magicians in this vast city is still too deep. ’

Thinking of this, Zuo Feng couldn't help but turn his head and look to the south, thinking in his heart.

'It is better to be still than to move at this time. Don't act rashly before you see clearly, otherwise misfortunes and blessings will be unforeseen! ’
