Defying the Martial Way to Burn the Heavens
Chapter 2512: Respond Calmly
After hearing the bad news, Zuo Feng and Hu Bo's expressions changed significantly at this moment. The situation developed and changed too quickly, which made it difficult for them to accept it for a while.
The purpose of sneaking into Licheng at great risk was to save people. As soon as they entered the city last night, they went straight to the City Lord's Mansion, hoping to rescue people. But they didn't expect that a warrior from Fengcheng would be executed by the other party overnight.
The other party acted so quickly, so cruelly, and with such malicious intentions, which was far beyond Zuo Feng's expectations. Zuo Feng and Hu Bo also understood a fact that if they had not sneaked into the City Lord's Mansion last night and escaped successfully, hiding until now without being caught by the other party, they would not have been able to use this method to force themselves and others to show up.
This logic is not accurate. After all, Zuo Feng and his team were saving people, not killing people. But the sense of self-blame in his heart still rose in his chest.
Everyone present was very shocked by the news, but the changes in Zuo Feng and Amber's expressions were more obvious, but no one else present noticed it. Only Shu Mang, who looked over inadvertently, noticed the abnormality of Zuo Feng and Amber's expressions.
Although Yin Jie and Ni Feng's reactions were also very surprised, they would not be so abrupt standing in the crowd. Yin Jie had experienced a lot of things in the world. After a brief surprise, he immediately noticed a pair of cold eyes full of suspicion and vigilance staring at him.
There was no need to deliberately confirm it. Yin Jie judged from the direction of the eyes that the person staring at him was Shu Mang. Then Yin Jie also noticed that Zuo Feng and Amber's expressions were different, and a hint of obscure mental fluctuations was transmitted.
Slightly startled, Yin Jie's reminder appeared in his mind, and Zuo Feng realized his loss of composure. He did not dare to look up to see Shu Mang's expression. He knew that if there was eye contact at this time, the other party would definitely be more suspicious, so Zuo Feng could only pretend not to know and continue to deal with the interrogation of these Donglin County warriors.
After receiving the message from the Silver Guard, these people were still checking everyone, but they were no longer dragging their feet like before. Since there was a new arrangement, they also planned to finish the search as soon as possible and return.
Those who entered the courtyard to search completed the task first. They had searched all the rooms, warehouses, and even the garbage dump.
After all, they were looking for a living person, so after they finished the search, they were sure that these places would never hide fugitives. After checking the front hall for a while, they were all completed smoothly.
The information prepared by Shu Mang was very detailed and sufficient. Everyone present not only had detailed background information, but also had their own work records. In fact, these were prepared in advance by the Lin family, otherwise it would be impossible to produce them before midnight.
They were lurking here, and they were prepared to deal with such situations. The content of those materials was prepared in advance. When encountering something, they only needed to fill in their names according to the requirements.
Although those Donglin County warriors got nothing, they were not in a bad mood. The shopkeeper in front of him was "well-behaved and sensible" and gave the heavy bag of gold cakes. If every household search could treat them like this, then they would have a good job.
Following behind these Donglin County warriors, he enthusiastically sent Tianxiang Medicine Store out all the way, until he stood on the street and watched those people go to the next shop, and then Shu Mang returned to the shop with a smile.
Entering the shop, Shu Mang seemed to change his face, and his face, which was originally full of smiles, immediately sank. He walked and waved gently, and Shu Ren immediately understood, and immediately ran over to close the door and put the bolt again.
"You guys come with me to the inner hall."
Shu Mang said lightly, but did not explain any more. Zuo Feng and the others certainly knew that the other party was talking to them. Except for Ni Feng who was still confused at this time, Amber and Zuo Feng had already understood that their previous gaffe was noticed by the other party.
Although this Tianxiang Medicine Store was not big, it was also divided into three courtyards inside and outside. There is a courtyard facing the street, which is mainly a shop, and some medicinal materials that are popular on weekdays are placed, as well as some refined liquid medicines, pills and the like.
Next to this courtyard is an outer hall, which is considered a place for the store to receive VIPs, and is also a place where the shop assistants are occasionally gathered to explain and instruct them on important matters. This is also the most spacious place in Tianxiang Medicine Store.
Further back, next to the main hall is the inner hall, which is slightly more hidden, and it is also close to the middle courtyard. Generally, some more secretive things are discussed, or some special transactions are carried out privately, such as selling materials of secretly hunted monsters.
Further back is the backyard, which is the resting place for the store owner and the assistants. At this moment, Zuo Feng and others were led by Shu Mang to a more remote and more secretive room in the inner hall.
Zuo Feng had already woken up from the bad news. With his telekinesis spreading out, he knew that the room was surrounded by more than 20 guys. Only Shu Ren and Shu Luo entered the room.
"Who are you? Tell the truth."
Sat down on a chair by the wall, Shu Mang stared at the four people in front of him for a long time, and stayed on Zuo Feng and Amber the longest, as if he wanted to see through them, but in the end his eyes fell on Yin Jie.
The problem was seen from Zuo Feng, and he could also see that he should have the highest status among the few people, and the other three should obey his orders.
However, among these four people, Yin Jie is the strongest, and has reached the middle and late stages of Naqi. Although Shu Mang will not take this strength seriously, if he really takes action, he must solve it himself.
It can be felt that there is a tense smell in the room, and the longer Zuo Feng and others are silent, the stronger this smell becomes.
Zuo Feng, who saw this, did not delay for too long and said: "Shu Mang, the shopkeeper, we are all family. If you have anything to say, just say it directly. If you have any questions, you can be open and honest."
"Oh, is that so, haha!"
Shu Mang suddenly spoke, looked at Zuo Feng meaningfully, and then laughed. It's just that this laughter keeps echoing in this somewhat closed room, giving people an unspeakable awkward feeling.
"Since this brother Shu Le said so, I will ask you directly. Why did you enter Kuo City at this time? What is your relationship with Niu Qiu? What is your relationship with the people who are now in the City Lord's Mansion?"
This was originally Shu Mang's suspicion, and from last night to now, he also sent Shu Ren and Shu Luo to spy and fight intermittently, just to get this information.
But I don't know if the other party is too cunning, or has already discovered the secret monitor, until just now, there was no discovery. But just before, the Donglin County warriors sent news that a prisoner detained in the City Lord's Mansion was killed, and there will be continuous executions in the future, which finally exposed the two people in front of them.
Zuo Feng took a long breath and reorganized the thoughts in his mind again. He must give an answer, and it must be a satisfactory answer that the other party can accept, otherwise he and the three people around him will be in danger.
Although Shu Mang brought Zuo Feng and others here, it was to prevent them from alarming the outsiders if they took action later, or more accurately, to prevent them from alarming the Donglin County warriors. I believe that the neighbors should all be from the Lin family. As long as the noise is not too loud, there will be no problem.
And those Donglin County warriors should be next door. Shu Mang guessed that Zuo Feng and his men would not dare to really do it.
But Zuo Feng didn't want to do it at all, because if he left here now, they would lose the shielding barrier and would soon be found by the Donglin County warriors.
When Zuo Feng found that the other party saw that he had a problem, he was already thinking about how to explain it, but time was limited and there was no chance for him to think over and over again.
There was only a rough idea in his mind. Next, he could only continue to improve it according to this idea. While giving the other party an explanation and answer, he also improved his own words. This was also a test for Zuo Feng.
Fortunately, he and his men were not interrogated separately. If that was the case, even if Zuo Feng had a clever IOU trick, he would still be quickly discovered by the other party. The other party also guessed that if he had a problem, he would not be able to make up any tricks, so he gathered all four people here. If there was a problem, he would be caught in one fell swoop, which was very convenient.
"Your guess is correct. We came here to sneak into Licheng not just to send a message."
Looking at Shu Mang who was in the first position, leaning forward slightly, as if he was about to take action, Zuo Feng hurriedly added: "The family has already received the message we sent out. They knew about the changes in Kuocheng earlier than you, and the family made new arrangements after that."
Shu Mang was indeed secretly gathering spiritual energy. Seeing that Zuo Feng was really going to tell everything, he was ready to take action, but after hearing Zuo Feng's "new arrangement" of the family, his actions stopped again.
Zuo Feng at this time was completely different from the previous one when his face changed drastically, especially the calmness and composure he showed, without any hint of lying. It was precisely because of these two differences that Shu Mang believed it a little.
He didn't know that in terms of "acting skills", Zuo Feng's strength could be regarded as the peak level. He had deceived even old monsters like Xu Pokong and Yangming Beast.
If he hadn't suddenly heard that the other party had started to execute the warriors of Fengcheng and even wanted to kill everyone within a day, he would never lose his composure on the spot. To put it bluntly, Zuo Feng values his subordinates very much, and because of his concern, he is "in chaos".
Zuo Feng, who has now completely calmed down, has also regained his usual calmness and wisdom. Between questioning and answering, he quickly considers how to deal with the crisis at hand.
