Defying the Martial Way to Burn the Heavens
Chapter 2244: Determined to Subdue
Looking blankly at the young man in front of him who was less than twenty years old, this young city lord who was several years younger than his brother, Ai Huo unconsciously felt a sense of powerlessness in his heart.
When he had this feeling, Ai Huo's eyes could not suppress a flash of surprise. Apparently Zuo Feng's reaction was far beyond his expectation.
He looked at Ai Huo in front of him calmly, taking in the look of surprise on the other side's face, but his face remained calm, and his smile became a little brighter.
After a brief silence, Ai Huo hesitantly said: "Then, how should we arrange and allocate our manpower?"
As soon as these words were spoken, Ai Huo already said in his heart, "No," but now that the words had been spoken, he couldn't take them back even if he wanted to.
Opposite me, Zuo Feng smiled faintly and said calmly: "I will naturally make arrangements when we get there. Since they are all willing to join Feng City, as the city lord, I will never let their sacrifices be in vain."
Seeing a hint of embarrassment on Ai Huo's face across from him, Zuo Feng smiled lightly and continued: "But if Brother Ai Huo has any good suggestions, you can just say them directly, and we will go over the details together."
After Zuo Feng finished speaking, he looked at Ai Huo in front of him with a faint smile. But from the subtle changes in his expression, Zuo Feng had already figured out the other person's inner thoughts.
And Ai Huo really felt like being seen through now. He looked at Zuo Feng blankly, not knowing what to say for a moment. On the contrary, the young man next to him raised the corners of his mouth slightly, smiled softly, and spoke.
'Brother, I told you not to do such tricks. You see, this is asking for trouble! ’
His face turned red and blue, and he didn't know whether it was because of shame or because he was angered by his brother's words.
After a while, Ai Huo suddenly coughed. He used this method to cover up his embarrassment, rolled his eyes at his brother, and then turned to Zuo Feng.
"Ahem, I haven't formally introduced it to the city lord yet. He is my biological brother. When we were young, our family suffered a big change, and I was the only one who escaped. Now we are the only two brothers left to depend on each other. Before, we were together. Kuocheng can be regarded as accumulating some wealth.
However, after the incident in Kuocheng, several years of hard work were in vain, and we two brothers now have nothing. "
Zuo Feng still had that calm look on his face, and his eyes seemed to have inadvertently swept over the backs of the two Fire Eagles that were lagging a little behind. His eyes naturally passed over the many warriors riding on them.
Ai Huo sighed softly and said with some dejection: "Although we originally had our own belongings, we often communicated with each other in private. In fact, we just didn't want to spend the rest of our lives in confusion. Everyone still had the dream of becoming stronger. "
Looking up at Zuo Feng, Ai Huo hurriedly explained with a slight panic: "City Lord, please don't misunderstand us. We have no intention of taking advantage of you. It's just that when we were together, we often discussed the future." A way out. I have the highest cultivation level among them, and everyone respects me as "Brother Fire".
If not for such changes in Kuocheng, I think it would be difficult for everyone to make up their minds and completely give up everything they had before. Everyone has no other thoughts about Feng City Lord. They really hope to work together with Feng City Lord and fight for their future. "
Seeing that Zuo Feng was still smiling, Ai Huo became a little anxious and said, "The city lord still can't believe what I said. Everyone really doesn't have two minds. It's just me...me, that's all." If the city lord doesn’t like it, I’m willing to leave!”
Seeing Ai Huo lowering his head dejectedly, Zuo Feng said calmly: "Why, you promised to follow me and regretted it so soon?"
He suddenly raised his head and looked towards Zuo Feng, but Ai Huo's face was filled with joy. Then he hurriedly knelt down on one knee and lowered his head and said, "Thank you City Lord for not giving up. I, Ai Huo, will never dare to claim to be their leader again, nor will I." I will no longer discuss with them privately, and everything will be subject to the arrangements of the city lord."
On the contrary, Ai Hu, a young man next to the middle-aged man, suddenly said with a smile: "I told you a long time ago not to play these little tricks. Since you have chosen to defect to the Lord of the City, wouldn't it be better to leave everything to the Lord of the City? "
Ai Huo refused to refute what his younger brother said, but shook his head in shame. As a result, Zuo Feng slowly stood up and walked forward to help Ai Huo up with his own hands.
Ai Huo lowered his head in shame, but stood up immediately. Zuo Fengxiao looked at the young man next to him and couldn't help but change the subject and said, "Your brother is quite talented."
Hearing Zuo Feng praising his younger brother, Ai Huo suddenly became energetic and immediately said: "Your Majesty, the city lord has a sharp eye. My younger brother is considered to be the one with the best cultivation talent among the generations of the family. If not There have been changes in the family, and now he believes that there is more to it than just the current level.
Over the years, I have been gritting my teeth and willing to endure any hardships, just hoping that one day I can raise my younger brother up. I think you, the city lord, also know the various resources needed for cultivation. If I rely on the small shop I run in Kuocheng, I have already reached the limit by now. I don’t ask for anything from myself if I follow the city lord, as long as I can..."
"Brother, why are you talking about this!" Ai Hu, a young man who had always been smiling, suddenly became filled with anger. He turned to look at his brother and said loudly.
Instead of being dissatisfied with the young man's gaffe, Zuo Feng looked at Ai Hu with interest. Among these people, Ai Hu was probably the one who attracted the most attention.
"Brother, don't be angry. There are things that I don't want to mention again, but it's different today. You and I, brothers, and those brothers, we finally have the power to live in. I must mention this too. Well, I don’t look forward to anything else, I just hope that you can grow up one day.”
From Zuo Feng's cold eyes, Ai Hu's cultivation talent was probably considered to be superior even among those super aristocratic families. However, being able to reach this level is supported by indispensable training resources.
Zuo Feng has been reluctant to speak, which does not mean that he is not curious, but now that he is the city lord, asking about the other party's past, especially the details of the other party's cultivation, seems a bit petty.
In addition, Zuo Feng had already seen when he was in Kuocheng that these people in front of him had great trust in the Ai Huo in front of him, which had both advantages and disadvantages for Zuo Feng, the city lord.
The bad thing is that these people have already identified Ai Huo in their hearts, so the position of the city lord in their hearts is naturally much weaker. Maybe in the future, Zuo Feng can slowly turn things around with his own ability and strength, but this will definitely take a lot of time and energy.
But there are disadvantages, and of course there are advantages. To conquer these people who have just joined, in fact, all you need to do is capture Ai Huo.
While riding the Astral Fire Bird Monster, Zuo Feng understood Ai Huo's intention when he heard Ai Huo ask to ride one together. In fact, this was exactly what Zuo Feng wanted. Even though he agreed, he just got on his mount and left them alone.
By the time Ai Huo couldn't help but speak, the initiative was already in Zuo Feng's hands. Although Ai Huo is older and has experienced a lot, he has chosen to join Feng City after all. Facing Zuo Feng, the city lord, he is first of all a little shorter.
In addition, he didn't know much about Zuo Feng and looked at it from the perspective of an ordinary young man under twenty years old. This made Ai Huo even more miscalculated. After talking to each other, Zuo Feng didn't even speak a few times. He just used the changes in his expression and demeanor to firmly grasp the rhythm of the conversation.
Hu Bo and Yao Qiu'er, who had been silent next to them, didn't know what was going on at first. They just felt that Zuo Feng and Ai Huo were talking about innocuous things.
Only Huan Kong had his eyes slightly closed, as if he were meditating and refining his energy, but the corners of his mouth that occasionally raised showed the joy in his heart. He, as a disciple, has such scheming ideas at such a young age, which of course makes him, as a master, feel proud.
The other person who saw the conversation between the two was Ai Huo's younger brother Ai Hu. He knew his brother's purpose from the beginning, and naturally saw it more clearly from the perspective of a bystander.
Unlike his brother, Ai Hu initially disapproved of his brother's actions, but he did not deliberately stop him. In fact, he also wanted to use his brother's actions to see what kind of person the city lord he wanted to serve was like.
What surprised Ai Hu was that his brother, who had always been arrogant, was surrendered by the young man who was younger than him in just a few words.
He didn't say much, but Ai Hu felt vaguely unconvinced in his heart. His brother mentioned the same old tune at this time, which also hurt his brother's self-esteem invisibly.
Seeing his younger brother getting angry, Ai Huo was different from usual, and shouted in a stern voice: "Even if you don't want to listen, I have to say it. Our Ai family was considered a big family at the beginning, and we have fallen to this situation. I have placed all my family's hopes on you, and you must be self-aware."
The two brothers were really angry and stared at each other, but they were speechless for a long time.
"You two don't have to argue about this, please listen to me." Zuo Feng opened his mouth and immediately attracted the attention of both of them, and then continued: "Brother Ai Huo, the revival of the family is important, but it must be hastened. In fact, you also know the truth behind it. Especially during the journey of cultivation, there are too many stumbling blocks. Those who reach the end are the strongest. Going steady is always better than going fast. "
Then he turned to look at Ai Hu and said: "Although your brother's expectations for you have caused a lot of pressure, this pressure can't be turned into motivation. I don't hate motivated people, as long as you don't turn them into Just turn it into an unfulfilled ambition.
Any force has rewards and punishments. As long as you have made achievements, you should naturally strive for what you should get. I am also happy to see you become stronger, and I hope you can win the power of the Ai family again. "
Although these seemingly indifferent words made both brothers Ai Huo and Ai Hu look moved.
