Defying the Martial Way to Burn the Heavens
Chapter 2250 Suspicion
Anger boiled in his chest. Zuo Feng was not the intolerant type, but he was not a fool. What Ai Hu is doing now is not just to irritate himself with random remarks, but to deliberately embarrass himself in front of other people. His only purpose is to destroy his prestige among these people.
However, it only took a moment for Zuo Feng to calm down. Through all the experiences along the way from Ye Lin, Zuo Feng learned one thing. The more his emotions are about to get out of control, the more he needs to calm down as soon as possible, otherwise he will just Will be controlled by emotions and make irreparable mistakes.
When a scowl appeared on Zuo Feng's face, a subtle smile flashed across Ai Hu's eyes. He actually had a trace of jealousy in his heart towards the city lord in front of him. The leader, who was younger than himself, actually had several strong men in the cultivation stage who obeyed his orders.
Looking back on their time in Kuocheng, Duan Yueyao and Yao Qiu'er can be said to be the most outstanding existences among the women of the Xuanwu Empire. However, they were so devoted to the young man in front of them that they looked down upon themselves. This made Ai Hu, who had been full of superiority due to his talent since he was a child, inevitably jealous. However, since he chose to join Fengcheng, he did not dare to show any of this little emotion.
But in his actions just now, Zuo Feng looked as if he was facing a powerful enemy, and he said it in a convincing manner, as if the enemy could rush out at any time and give everyone a fatal attack. It turned out to be a false alarm, and the last trace of awe he had for Zuo Feng completely disappeared.
While he was secretly feeling proud in his heart, he found that the anger on the face of the young city lord in front of him suddenly disappeared, and his eyes became calm and there was no more waves. He calmed down so quickly, which was beyond Ai Hu's expectation.
With a thought in his heart, Ai Hu said: "Mr. City Lord, is it possible that you still have something to worry about? You see, my elder brother has brought the people out, and there has been no movement in the town so far. Is there anything else you are worried about?"
Looking at Zuo Feng's calm expression, a trace of anger ignited in Ai Hu's heart, and he couldn't help but say: "I think the city lord can call them over. Since they have been rescued, of course we have to leave together." Bar."
Zuo Feng remained calm, but it was not to vent his anger with Ai Hu, but after he calmed down, he began to smooth out tonight's events in his mind. Now that he calmed down and thought carefully, Zuo Feng realized that there were indeed many doubts about what happened tonight, even though everything was normal until now.
Thinking of this, Zuo Feng slowly shook his head, his face still calm and without any special emotion fluctuations. Seeing that Zuo Feng ignored him, Ai Hu shouted angrily: "You..."
"What are you yelling about? Why did you come here?" Before Ai Hu could say anything else, he was interrupted by a voice. From the sound, he could confirm that the person coming was Ai Huo, Ai Hu's brother.
This Ai Huo carefully helped one person to walk in the front. The two of them were a little behind and scattered to the two wings. This was not only a warning, but also able to protect the people in the center. In the center of the team, the other two people except Ai Huo were holding an old man each.
Just from the formation of these five people, we can see that Ai Huo has good commanding abilities. This formation can not only cope with various sudden attacks, but also can intercept and surround the protected person immediately. Send away as soon as possible.
Hearing Ai Huo's voice, a smile immediately appeared on Ai Hu's face. He walked to his brother in a few steps and softly told what happened before. Although he walked to Ai Hu, he deliberately did not restrain his voice. The content of his words had been clearly heard by everyone, and Zuo Feng certainly could not have missed anything.
Of course he did this because he wanted to embarrass Zuo Feng, but at the same time he also wanted to prove to his brother that he was no worse than the young city lord in front of him. On the other hand, after hearing what his brother said, Ai Huo had a smile on his face at first, but later the expression on his face turned ugly.
Finally, he gave his brother a stern look, turned to Zuo Feng and said, "My brother is not sensible. He is still too young and sometimes acts a little recklessly. I hope the city lord will not argue with him."
"Brother..." I couldn't understand how my brother, who was very disdainful of Zuo Feng before, could speak for him.
"Shut up!" Before Ai Hu could speak, Ai Huo had already reprimanded coldly: "You kid has only experienced so many things. We don't have a deep understanding of the situation here, so how can you be sure that there is no danger. You even took the initiative to send an open message to contact us. If the city lord is right, can you guarantee that nothing will happen if we gather together so rashly now? "
After being scolded by his brother, Ai Hu looked a little confused and muttered: "What accident will happen? I didn't see any accident. I only saw you entering the town smoothly and easily." We rescued people, but we ended up running around all over the mountain in suspicion, and..."
"Okay, okay, I can't say that I'm making a fuss out of a molehill and overcomplicating the problem, but now that our people are fine, it's naturally the best." Zuo Feng raised his eyebrows slightly and spoke calmly. , but cut off the rest of Ai Hu’s words.
This seemingly unintentional move made Ai Hu very dissatisfied. However, he had just been scolded by his brother. Although he was very unhappy, he just said angrily and said nothing.
Zuo Feng ignored Ai Hu, but walked around Ai Huo and came to the three old men. He clasped his fists and bowed gently, saying, "I'm really sorry, but things happened suddenly, so we have to resort to this desperate measure to take you out, otherwise I'm worried that the Lin family will kill you."
Now that they were closer, Zuo Feng could see the faces of the three old men in front of him in the moonlight. The three of them were not too old, but they looked very old in temperament. Especially the old man in the front, who looked about fifty years old, but at first glance he looked like an old man in his twilight years.
When Zuo Feng was talking, the old man's eyes kept looking up and down, and then he said with some dissatisfaction: "Why can't Shu Zai, that stinky boy, save my heart? How many resources did the family spend to train him to be what he is now, how could he do such a thing as betraying the family? It's really a white-eyed wolf."
Looking at the old man sighing and looking like he was disappointed in his son, Zuo Feng showed a thoughtful expression. Then Zuo Feng politely cupped his fists towards the two people behind him. There was a man and a woman behind him, who looked younger than the old man in front. However, Zuo Feng already knew the identities of these two people. One was Shuzai's uncle, and the other woman was his aunt.
Shuzai's mother died early, and his father was also seriously injured in a dangerous mission more than ten years ago, and he lost his cultivation since then. Unlike his uncle and aunt, these two people did not know how to practice, and lived an ordinary life all their lives.
Later, Shuzai's father Shu You, whose cultivation was abolished, was arranged by the family to live with his brothers and sister-in-law. In the past ten years, Shuzai has only seen his father a few times. The Lin family used this method to tie up the warriors trained by the family. Another purpose was to erase their family affection and make them have nothing else in their hearts except the family.
"City Lord, since the people have been rescued, I think we should not stay here for long. We'd better get going as soon as possible. You know what, the town is really quiet and makes people feel uneasy."
Unlike Ai Hu, Ai Huo had struggled all the way to barely support a chamber of commerce. Not to mention that he was often suppressed and excluded by other chambers of commerce, even simple things like purchasing and shipping goods also had to be risky at all times.
He could understand Zuo Feng's cautiousness even more, especially after entering the town just now, he also felt uncomfortable. So when he saw his brother laughing at him for this, he would severely stop him. But in fact, he still felt that his brother's judgment was correct in his heart, and this mission was indeed not worth making a fuss about.
Nodding, Zuo Feng calmly approached Shu You, the father of Shu Zai, and then said: "It is true that we can't stay here for long. Let's go down the river and leave here for the time being before using spiritual energy to fly."
He said this in a low voice, but everyone present heard it clearly, and some people looked at Zuo Feng with puzzled faces. Everyone obviously came here on flying mounts, and the flying mounts were left in the East Coast Xuanwu Empire. Wouldn't they go further and further down the river in Jiangxi?
When everyone looked at Zuo Feng in confusion, he gently held Shu You's arm and said softly: "Old man, Shu Zai actually has no choice, otherwise how could he be willing to betray the family? You should understand his character."
Zuo Feng seemed to be chatting, but his action of holding Shu You's arm immediately attracted the attention of Shu You and the other two old men behind him. Their attention was attracted by Zuo Feng, and naturally they did not notice the puzzled and surprised eyes of the people around them.
At this time, Ai Huo's sophistication was seen. He just glanced at Zuo Feng and immediately said: "Didn't everyone hear the city lord's order? Pay attention to the surroundings and we will go down the river immediately."
After saying this, Ai Huo had already walked to his younger brother. Although Ai Hu looked down on Zuo Feng, he was very respectful to his brother. Especially the two brothers had a tacit understanding. They only exchanged a glance with each other, and there was no need to say anything extra.
Ai Hu was full of doubts at this moment. He didn't understand what Zuo Feng was up to, and he didn't know why his brother reminded him to be ready for battle at any time. It seemed that there would be another fierce battle next.
Ai Huo and Ai Hu each dispersed. On the surface, they walked around casually as if they were observing the surroundings, but they had unknowingly reminded all the warriors present to be ready.
At this time, Zuo Feng gently supported the old man with a warm smile on his face. If Amber was here, she would be surprised, because Zuo Feng would only show such an expression when he was calculating others or was about to make trouble.
