Defying the Martial Way to Burn the Heavens

Chapter 1847: Testing the waters

After a busy night, Zuo Feng had only slept for less than three hours. If possible, he would have liked to sleep for two more hours.

But at this time, Zuo Feng's eyes were widened, with a helpless smile on his face. He was laughing because he found a way last night to unleash the fighting power of a strong man in the Qi release stage, but he was helpless because he couldn't get the sleep he asked for.

Less than a breath after Zuo Feng opened his eyes, there was a knock on the door. With the help of the formation, Zuo Feng could immediately detect anyone approaching. As an artist, he must be on guard at all times.

There was no need to open the door at this moment, Zuo Feng already knew the identity of the person outside, but he still asked symbolically "Who".

A young man's voice came from outside and said calmly: "Third brother, I am the technical staff. The eldest brother and the second brother are calling you to have breakfast."

Sighing silently, Zuo Feng replied softly: "I know, you go first, I will come later."

After replying to the technician, Zuo Feng slowly stood up and felt the cultivation level in his body that had completely calmed down. Knowing that there would be no more trouble due to the promotion of cultivation level in a short time, he could wash and change clothes with peace of mind.

As soon as the neatly dressed Zuo Feng stepped into the room, the three people at the dinner table all turned their heads to look. The three people's eyes were a little wary, and Shu Suo and Shu Kun were even more uneasy.

This subtle change could be clearly captured the moment Zuo Feng stepped into the room. Moreover, Zuo Feng also understood why the other party could show such an expression.

When Zuo Feng came back last night, he suddenly encountered an opportunity for a breakthrough. Shu Suo and Shu Kun felt threatened at that time. The technician didn't know the inside story at that time, but after a night of reflection, he now understood what the eldest and second brothers had done to the third brother.

He was simply concerned about whether the third brother in front of him took the opportunity to make a breakthrough after returning last night. He didn't know what pills Shu Kun took out, otherwise he would be like Shu Kun and Shu Suo, only caring about Zuo Feng's current mood.

People who take Guqi Pills will no longer be promoted in a short period of time, so Shusuo and Shukun are afraid that Zuo Feng will notice something wrong with the pills and attack them.

Zuo Feng, who entered the room, pretended to be helpless with a bitter smile, sighed and shook his head, sat down in his seat, and said helplessly: "It seems that I am not very lucky this time. No matter how hard I try after I go back, I will not be able to do anything." I never found that kind of breakthrough opportunity again. As a result, I spent most of the night and still got nothing.”

While saying helplessly, Zuo Feng picked up the porridge bowl in front of him, picked up a pickle and started eating.

Seeing Zuo Feng's expression of helplessness and embarrassment, but not delaying his meal at all, Shu Suo and Shu Kun secretly exchanged glances, and both could see that the other was relieved.

"Third brother, you don't need to worry too much. Since there has been an opportunity for a breakthrough, it's either this time or the next time. Don't rush into this kind of thing." Shusuo comforted softly, and helped Zuo Feng hold half of the risk. Oily salted duck eggs.

Shu Kun also hurriedly continued: "Yes, haste makes waste, but it will also hurt the body. With the talent and ability of the third brother, I believe that we will soon encounter the next opportunity for breakthrough. There is no need to rush, this matter There’s no rush.”

Although he disliked these two people very much, Zuo Feng felt that he wanted to thank them for what happened last night, especially the pills Shu Kun took out were of high quality and helped him a lot. He even wanted to thank them directly.

Looking at the appearance of the two people in front of him, Zuo Feng knew that these two guys had a guilty conscience and acted like this. After thinking about it for a moment, Fu Zuo Feng had a plan and asked curiously: "I didn't have time to ask the two brothers last night, we When reporting the situation to the big shopkeeper, who are the two old men sitting in the corner of the room? "

If such a question were asked in normal times, the two people in front of them would never tell him easily, but now they feel guilty, so they are not worried about telling everything they know.

Sure enough, as Zuo Feng expected, Shu Suo and Shu Kun did have the intention to please Zuo Feng. When Zuo Feng asked, Shu Kun was the first to speak: "Those two people can be regarded as the 'horizontal' generation in the clan. They are somewhat respectable people, and the big shopkeeper usually calls them 'Heng Wu Heng Liu'. Although their cultivation level is not as good as that of the big shopkeeper, their power is by no means small."

Shusuo on the side seemed to know more, so after Shukun finished speaking, he added: "Originally, these two people will not be dispatched by the big shopkeeper. They each have their own industry and power in Kuocheng.

It is estimated that in the previous battle with the Ghost Painter, our strength was too empty, so the big shopkeeper discussed letting them merge. "

Squinting his eyes slightly, Zuo Feng picked up the half of the duck egg, inserted his chopsticks into it and stirred it gently. The oily yolk and white egg white fell into the bowl together.

Holding the bowl of porridge, Zuo Feng asked casually: "So, not only the two of them are coming, but a large number of family warriors will also come with them."

With a slight hesitation, Shusuo seemed to be weighing something, but when he raised his head, he saw Zuo Feng staring at him with a slight smile.

With a thought in his heart, Shu Suo immediately said: "That's true. Although these two people are not as good as the big shopkeeper, their power in my Shu family is not low. Naturally, they will have a group of trusted followers.

There is no too specific news at the moment, but I believe those people should have integrated into the old city. After all, without the cover of the secret passage, the old city also needs to strengthen its defense. "

Nodding, Zuo Feng shoveled the yellowish porridge into his mouth, and the way he ate was still the same as when he was in Ye Lin.

Shu Suo and Shu Kun frowned slightly. They were both from aristocratic families, so they would naturally be more particular when eating. However, thinking of Zuo Feng's background, the two of them smiled secretly and ignored him.

After that, the three of them just chatted casually, talking about their actions in the past few days. Although they kept it a secret from other clan members, the four of them knew each other, so they did not deliberately hide it when they talked.

In the past two days, Shu Suo's main activities were outside the family, mainly observing the movements around the family, especially investigating any suspicious people nearby.

It can be seen that the Shu family has attached great importance to the defense of the family during this period. In addition to Heng Wu and Heng Liu quietly bringing a group of warriors, Shu Suo also extended the family's alert range by more than a mile.

Shukun and Shuliao have been acting together these two days, but their whereabouts seem a bit mysterious. They said they were looking for the ghost painter in various places in the city, but Zuo Feng believed that the two of them were definitely not telling the truth.

After careful calculation, Shukun seemed to have not participated in all the actions after the confrontation with the ghost painter, but his actions were very secretive. There must be something extremely secretive, even from himself and Shusuo.

The four of them ate and chatted as usual. Some things were talked about with relish, some things were passed over, and some things were pretended to be deaf and dumb. A breakfast was eaten in this seemingly harmonious atmosphere, and everyone dispersed.

It was like this every day. After a few people had a meal, they would perform their respective tasks. However, today, after Zuo Feng left Shusuo's room, he did not go back to his room directly, but deliberately slowed down his pace.

When Shuliao came nearby, Zuo Feng suddenly pulled him, and Shuliao was caught off guard and his sleeve was pulled. While the other party was stunned, Zuo Feng quietly glanced back and confirmed that Shu Suo stayed in the room and Shu Kun had returned to his room. Then he smiled and said.

"Fourth brother also knows that I have been running around these days, so naturally I know a little bit. A few days ago, I accidentally heard that there are two very famous things in Kuocheng, one is Cao Ji's braised pork elbow, and the other is Fengtian cellar wine sold by Yuncai Merchants.

I believe that with some side dishes from Anpingju, it is definitely a delicacy in the world. I heard that fourth brother also likes to drink a few glasses when he is free. Now it is not appropriate for us to go out for dinner and drink, but it is naturally no problem at home. Why don't we have a few drinks at night."

I didn't expect Zuo Feng to take the initiative to ask me to drink , Shu Liao's face was obviously happy, and then he said: "In this case, it's not good to let the third brother spend all the money. I will buy Cao Ji's braised pork elbow, and the rest will be troublesome for the third brother."

Raised his hand and punched lightly, and said with a smile: "You are so polite to me, okay, okay, I will prepare the wine and dishes, but don't forget Cao Ji's braised pork elbow. If you eat it once, you will be addicted."

Shu Liao responded repeatedly, and his smile became even brighter. The two brothers chatted for a few more words before saying goodbye and leaving. Zuo Feng returned to the room, and after slowly closing the door, his expression immediately became serious.

"Cao Ji? It's in the south of the city. What will be there? The Su family is close to the south of the city, and the Gui family is also in the south of the city, but it doesn't seem to be on the way to Cao Ji, so what else can be their destination?"

Zuo Feng couldn't help but mutter in a low voice, and the doubts in his heart became even stronger.

The reason why Zuo Feng invited Shu Liao to drink just now was actually to test the other party's mouth, so as to know the approximate location of their activities during the day.

Shujia is in the old district in the north of the city, and Caoji, Yuncai Chamber of Commerce and Anpingju are in the east, west and south respectively. Zuo Feng deliberately mentioned these three places, and Shu Liao believed it and mentioned Caoji, which narrowed the scope to the south of the city.

But Zuo Feng now has a new doubt, what can they do in the south of the city. After the battle with the ghost painter, the situation of the Shujia was very bad, and Shu Kun had been secretly active since then, which shows that what they did was very complicated.

Yanzhi had disappeared for a while before, but showed up last night, obviously what they did before had some clues.

After knowing this, Zuo Feng not only did not get any conclusion, but had a deeper worry.
