Defying the Martial Way to Burn the Heavens
Chapter 2516: Heads Hanging High
Amber and Nifeng were "escorted" by several Lin family warriors to the backyard, the room with a large bunk bed.
Zuofeng and Yinjie said goodbye to Shumang and left after Amber and Nifeng left. Because the main street at this time was the most strictly searched place, Shumang specially selected a subordinate to accompany them to leave Tianxiang Medicine Store through the side door.
It was not until Zuo Feng and Yin Jie left the room that Shu Ren and Shu Luo could not wait to ask, "Why should we help this kid get promoted? We shouldn't trust him so easily."
"And how can such an important position in Licheng be handed over to him? Lord Shu Mang, please think twice."
Glancing at the two of them, Shu Mang had a hint of sarcasm in his eyes and said to them, "It's good to have ambition. It will keep you energetic all the time, but you need to pay more attention. A clear mind is also very important."
With Shu Mang's experience, he naturally saw at a glance that Shu Ren and Shu Luo in front of him were jealous of him for giving such a good opportunity to Shu Tianle, who had known him for less than a day.
According to their judgment, no matter how such an opportunity was passed, it should be between the two of them. Now that someone else had intervened and got there first, how could they tolerate it?
Shu Mang had no dissatisfaction with this, but patiently explained: "Do you think I really gave him a chance? Don't think too simply about anything. I actually wanted to do something with this little loach a long time ago, why haven't I done anything yet, is it because I don't have definite evidence?"
These two people have indeed followed Shu Mang for a long time, and they immediately understood it after thinking about it carefully. Shu Ren spoke first: "There is one in the family elders group who has a deep friendship with this loach, and the adults are worried about his existence."
After a light "cough", Shu Mang said: "This loach was picked up by the one in the elders group. No matter how we get the loach, If we kick the loach, we will inevitably offend this big shot. Now that Shu Tianle has come to our door to help us solve the problem, we naturally have to seize the opportunity to eradicate this stinky loach.
The reason why we want him to replace me is that this matter is even simpler. He is a little thing with no foundation, and he still needs my support in this Licheng. Even if it is you two, you can still suppress him steadily.
Once the big shot above wants to vent his anger on Shu Tianle, I will directly "go with the flow" to completely eliminate him. Are you afraid that you will not have the opportunity to replace him at that time? "
After saying this, Shu Ren and Shu Luo immediately understood, and a smile that was difficult to conceal immediately appeared on their faces. The imbalance in their hearts had been swept away at this time. However, in the laughter, the two people's eyes accidentally met, and then they froze slightly, and then they looked away with some embarrassment.
Although this was just an inconspicuous little detail, it was noticed by the sharp Shu Mang first, but he pretended not to see it, and only the smile in his eyes became a little stronger at this time.
This Shu Mang is well versed in the art of ruling his subordinates. The deeper the conflict between his subordinates Shu Ren and Shu Luo, the more beneficial it is to him, and his power and status will naturally be more stable.
Only when Shu Mang thinks of the younger generation of the clan named Shu Tianle, will his heart be unconsciously covered with a layer of haze. On the surface, this young man seems to be just a very outstanding family talent with great cultivation potential. His style of behavior is dull and almost pedantic. Such a person will not pose any threat to his status.
But for some reason, Shu Mang always feels uncomfortable. It seems that since the first time he saw the other party, this uncomfortable feeling has been lingering in his heart for a long time.
'It should be that I think too much. Not to mention a young man like him, even the silly mid-stage Naqi strongman beside him will not pose any threat to me.
As long as everything goes smoothly according to my plan, I will definitely turn this loach into a stinky fish. With the intelligence I have collected over the years and a few more pieces of evidence, this stinky fish will never have a chance to turn over again. ’
Thinking that his efforts over the years will be rewarded and his goal will be realized, Shu Mang was so happy that his heart was about to bloom.
…
"Are you still not giving up?" A hidden mental wave came.
Zuo Feng, who had just walked into the alley, subconsciously looked back at the person behind him. Yin Jie, who was still lazy and listless at this time, then looked at the Lin family warrior who was following him after closing the door again.
"Why should I give up? The lives of every partner around me are the most precious. I will save them no matter what."
Zuo Feng did not look back, and the mental wave had already let him pass the message. The strength of their mental power is unmatched in the entire Li City, even that Bo Ka cannot compare. At this time, they use mental power to communicate, so naturally they don't need to worry about the warrior in the middle stage of Qi Sensing behind them.
Yin Jie seemed to be walking lazily on the side of Zuo Feng, and mental waves have been transmitted again.
"According to conservative estimates in the city, there are more than 400 warriors in Donglin County, including two leaders in the Qi-cultivation stage, and a county governor in the Condensation stage.
With such terrifying strength, even if I go all out now, I am not sure of winning. And I have already said that I will not directly solve the problem for you, so you don't have any chance at all, so just give up."
Zuo Feng knew that Yin Jie was telling the truth, but he was very determined. He wanted to save those people, the warriors who had agreed to follow him.
And the reason why these people were captured was not for him. They were willing to take risks for him, so how could he bear to watch them die.
"You two, come this way."
The Lin family warrior who was following behind suddenly spoke up and walked quickly to the front to lead the way. Zuo Feng and Yin Jie were only concerned with telepathy before, and did not notice that after they walked out of the alley, there was a large number of Donglin County strongmen not far ahead, searching houses and checking pedestrians on the street.
The streets of Licheng were no longer under martial law, but if pedestrians went out on the street, they would still be checked. After noticing this, the Lin family warrior immediately changed his route and took Zuo Feng and Yin Jie to another remote alley, which also deviated from the original direction.
Zuo Feng wanted to ask the other party where he was going, but the words were swallowed back when they came to his mouth. This person was sent to lead the way for him, so he must be Shu Mang's confidant. After coming out of Tianxiang Medicine Store, he refused to say a word, and he certainly would not reveal anything to him. So even if he asked, he would not get an answer, but would easily arouse Shu Mang's vigilance.
Several people entered an alley. When they passed a corner door, the Lin family warrior suddenly stopped, turned around and pushed gently, and the corner door was pushed open directly.
Zuo Feng and Yin Jie were stunned, but the Lin family warrior waved his hand, motioning the two to follow and then walked into the yard.
Zuo Feng and Yin Jie followed into the yard, which looked like a dyeing workshop. But now it was the end of winter, and no cloth could be seen on the shelves.
After the three entered, the guys in the backyard first looked at them vigilantly, and when they saw the Lin family warrior leading the way, they went back to their work as if nothing had happened.
The Lin family warrior led Zuo Feng into the house, passed through the three courtyards, went around to another remote door, and pushed the door to a new side street.
Less than twenty steps away, the Lin family warrior turned around again, pushed open a somewhat old wooden door, and walked into a very simple inn. The waiter in the inn also looked at them warily at first, and then went to feed the horses in the stable as if nothing had happened, and no longer paid attention to Zuo Feng and the other two.
In this way, Zuo Feng followed the Lin family warrior and passed through seven or eight courtyards in total. He almost never walked on the main street, and he had already gone around to the wide main street facing the east gate in front of the city lord's mansion.
Although Zuo Feng had heard Shu Mang's introduction before, he already knew that in addition to the loach, the Lin family also had a large number of hidden forces. But it was not until he saw it with his own eyes that Zuo Feng was really sure. No wonder the other party could hide so deeply and have such strong confidence. More than a dozen standard teams could hide so well. It seemed that it had a lot to do with the shops and inns they had walked through before.
While Zuo Feng was secretly shocked, the three of them had already set foot on the real main street of Licheng. This main street is different from the main street of ordinary cities. Ordinary cities run through the north and south on the longitudinal axis of the city, but Licheng runs through the east and west and is located on the horizontal axis.
On this central line running through the east and west, the city lord's mansion is located in the central area, and there is a tall clock tower not long after entering the city in the east.
Not far to the west of the clock tower is a square paved with huge square stones. Usually there are four to five large-scale trade fairs every month, and merchants from all over the country will conduct open transactions in this square. This is a feature of Ye Lin Border City.
Today's square seems particularly lively, but it is not because of the transactions, but because there are prisoners in the square who are about to be executed.
Zuo Feng and his two companions came from the west and walked east along the main street. At this time, not only were there many people gathered in the square, but there were also many people around who were gathering in the square.
From a distance, Zuo Feng had seen a three-meter-long pole, erected in the crowd of people in the square. On the pole, a bloody head was swaying gently in the wind. Occasionally, the wind blew up his hair, revealing the ordinary and bloody face below. Although his appearance was ordinary, Zuo Feng recognized it at a glance. It was a warrior who joined Fengcheng when he was in Jucheng.
At this time, someone in the square had already shouted loudly: "Three hours have come, execution!"
When the word "execution" came, Zuo Feng's pupils shrank sharply, and the spiritual energy in his body could not be suppressed and gushed out. The pedestrians around him looked at him in horror.
