The dense rune light trembled slightly, and then after a series of flashes of light, a figure stepped straight out of it.
Outside the light of the formation, only a few people looked here. After seeing the figure who walked out first, two people hurriedly leaned over and saluted. The other three cast their eyes curiously into the formation, seeming to be interested in it.
Curious about the changes that have occurred.
"Big Shopkeeper"
The five people outside the formation spoke in unison. The person who came out of the formation was naturally the tallest person in Kuocheng, the head shopkeeper of the Lin family.
With a soft response, the big shopkeeper's eyes glanced at the people around him, and finally turned his head to look behind him. He saw that although the light of the runes was much dimmed, it was still floating slightly, and a thin figure followed closely.
Followed out.
Although his appearance has changed, those who are very familiar with him can still recognize him as the legendary medicine man Zuo Feng.
Zuo Feng, who walked out of the formation, found that the location he was in at this time was exactly the courtyard where he first entered through the long underground secret passage. According to Zuo Feng's estimation, this courtyard should be in this large courtyard group.
In the center, this is also the core of the formation of the courtyard group.
There were five people in front of him, three of them were known to Zuo Feng, and the other two were slightly unfamiliar, but they could already tell their identity from their cultivation. On the surface, they stood calmly behind the big shopkeeper, with a look on his face.
of respect.
"Did the infiltrator escape?"
The big shopkeeper asked, and Zuo Feng knew very well that the big shopkeeper had seen the whole process through the formation before, and he was obviously pretending at this time.
Rouge lowered his head slowly and said: "My subordinates are incompetent and failed to keep the infiltrator behind."
"Identity?" The big shopkeeper spoke again, with almost no unnecessary nonsense.
Frowning slightly, Yanzhi said carefully: "I can't confirm his identity, but I just suspect that he is Captain Lin of the Mu family."
"Hmph, I really can't think of anyone else besides him. I will settle this account with him slowly." The big shopkeeper said coldly, as if he was very sure of that person's identity.
This made Zuo Feng feel a little shocked. Originally, Zuo Feng thought that he could spy more through the formation, so he could know the identity of the other party. But now that the big shopkeeper has come to the same conclusion, it is obvious that the other party has obtained through the formation.
The message far exceeded my initial expectations.
Although he was furious, the shopkeeper had no intention of continuing to struggle. He turned his eyes to the two people behind Yanzhi and said slowly: "What have you two done?"
The two young men who have been standing behind Rouge are none other than the eldest and second brothers Zuo Fengxin recognizes, Shu Suo and Shu Kun. Since they arrived here, they have always lowered their heads respectfully, not even daring to look up.
The big shopkeeper took a look.
Upon hearing the big shopkeeper's question, the two of them were filled with anxiety. They didn't understand why the question was asked, and they didn't know how to answer it.
Looking at the two of them coldly, the big shopkeeper said slowly: "Being able to lead the tribe at critical times and fight with all their strength against foreign enemies is good, very good!"
Although they were praising the two of them, their expressions and tone were completely different. Facing the big shopkeeper's praise, the two of them did not dare to show any joy. They were even very jealous of Shu Kun's skills. At this time, they felt in their hearts
I can't help but feel a little lucky.
These words were directed at Shu Kun. He did not dare to pretend to be confused anymore and hurriedly said: "As a member of the family, you should do your best for the family. Even if you risk your life, you cannot let the family's interests be lost."
"Okay." A smile finally appeared on the big shopkeeper's face, but the smile looked a little distorted. He turned to look at Yanzhi and said: "Take care of these two people. It is the time for the family to employ people, so we can let them try it out."
Let’s get acquainted with the other teams.”
Outsiders may not understand what these words mean, but Shusuo and Shukun, who are from the Shu surname, certainly know what it means. Their eyes were filled with joy at the same time, and they quickly bowed and saluted, with words of gratitude in their mouths.
.
"What's going on with Shu Zai?" Quite abruptly, the shopkeeper changed the subject.
Not only Shu Kun and Shu Suo were stunned on the spot, but Yan Zhi couldn't help but be a little stunned. However, what the three of them thought about at the same time was that they had abandoned Shu Zai in different ways.
After a brief silence, Shusuo had no choice but to speak first. After all, Shuzai belonged to his team. When the big shopkeeper asked, he had to give an explanation.
"We had already taken action with all our strength, but Shu Zai refused to listen to the dissuasion and went his own way. The two of us had to retreat and find other companions to deal with the infiltrator together."
Without saying anything, the big shopkeeper slowly turned his eyes to Yanzhi who was standing aside. Without hesitation, Yanzhi said calmly: "At that time, I was only thinking about finding the infiltrator, so I didn't pay much attention to the boy named Shu Zai."
The big shopkeeper was obviously not satisfied with the answers given by the two men. His face became even more gloomy and he said coldly: "That master is a traitor. Didn't you realize it at all before?"
While speaking, the big shopkeeper glanced at Shusuo and Shukun coldly, and said: "You live with him every day and treat him as brothers every day, but you never thought about what this thief is doing secretly!"
Without waiting for Shusuo and Shukun to explain, they looked at Yanzhi and said, "Every time they take action, they are led by you. Haven't they discovered any problems? Why does the family have requirements? Every action must be taken by the head of the family.
If people follow, isn't it to avoid such things from happening?"
"But now, what kind of explanation do you want to give me now?" The big shopkeeper stared at Yanzhi with a gloomy face, then slowly moved towards Shusuo and Shukun, and finally landed on another guest and the man called the accountant.
On the body.
The surroundings were quiet, no one could answer the big shopkeeper's questions, and no one was willing to take the initiative to stand up and bear the anger at this time.
Perhaps Zuo Feng was the most surprised among everyone present, but he was also the first among those present to understand what the big shopkeeper said.
Including Yanzhi, Shukun and Shusuo, after hearing the big shopkeeper saying that Shuzai was a "traitor and traitor", many questions suddenly appeared in their minds.
Based on their understanding of Shu Zai, they naturally did not believe that Shu Zai, who had been with him for so many years, would betray the family. In other words, they believed that many people would betray the family, even the big boss, and they could not believe that Shu Zai would betray the family.
However, the big shopkeeper is by no means the kind of person who makes pointless remarks. Since he said so, there must be some basis for it. Therefore, although the three of them were puzzled, they never thought of refuting it.
The first thing that came to Zuo Feng's mind was that Shu Zai would never betray him. Just thinking about it for a moment, Zuo Feng immediately guessed what the big shopkeeper's judgment was based on, and that Captain Lin made the choice for him to desperately break out.
direction, but in the eyes of the big shopkeeper, he was helping Shu Zai evacuate and desperate to attract people to take action against him.
Zuo Feng, who understood the cause and effect, couldn't help but feel worthless for Shu Zai. He had sacrificed so much for the family, even giving his life to the family, but in the end he could not get any trust.
At this time, no one was willing to argue for him, which must be said to be the tragedy of Shu Zai.
'The building will collapse, but it must start from a small place. Such a huge family is composed of inconspicuous little people. No matter how powerful a family or sect is, when they no longer pay attention to the individuals in it,
, then we are on the road to decline and decay.'
If some people from super aristocratic families heard what Zuo Feng was thinking at this moment, they would definitely be surprised. It is hard to imagine that a young man like Zuo Feng, who grew up in a mountain village, would have such a profound insight into the sect and family.
.
This is certainly not Zuo Feng's superior knowledge, which has completely surpassed those in power of the big families. In fact, many people understand these truths, but it is extremely difficult and complicated to really balance the interests of the family and individuals.
Interests, contradictions, and conflicts happen almost every day in families and forces. No one can truly balance everything. After all, where there are people, there will be distance and distance, so there will be no absolute fairness. Otherwise, why would the Lin family want to engage in sorcery?
The two surnames are the surname and the surname Mu.
"Who else is in the Shuzai family?" the big shopkeeper suddenly asked.
Hearing this, Zuo Feng couldn't help but feel a thump in his heart. He naturally let Ikari rescue Shuzai, but he forgot that there were relatives in Shuzai's family.
If Shu Zai died quietly, his family members might not be implicated, but now that he was rescued, things have become worse.
The accountant, who had never spoken, suddenly took out a thick book from the crystal storage. He flipped through it casually, then raised his head and replied: "Shu Zai, his father is from the Shu family, and he was in action a few years ago.
He died in the middle. His mother was from the Mu clan. After his father passed away, his mother returned to the Mu clan and settled in Dunmu Village!"
Hearing this, the big shopkeeper was slightly startled at first, then he laughed angrily and said with a cold smile: "Don't all the people in the family have any brains? For such an important operation in Kuocheng, someone with such a sensitive identity can be dispatched.
When you are here, don’t you think that the Mu family will do something secretly?"
This time, not only Yanzhi and Shusuo, but Shukun were speechless, even the accountant lowered his head silently. If what happened today had not happened, no one would have thought that Shuzai would betray the family, and no one would think that the Mu family would.
At this time, they were trying to do anything, and no one could produce any evidence to prove that the mysterious man was Captain Lin.
"Can I contact the family members outside the city now?" the big shopkeeper asked with an unkind expression.
Another guest minister said with a helpless face: "After the city defense formation was renovated, the defensive strength of the two city gates and the city wall has doubled. Can we contact you and when can we contact you? Now we can only wait.
Wait and see, no one can call it accurately."
Standing behind, Zuo Feng's eyes flickered slightly and he didn't dare to show off, but he was extremely excited in his heart.
'This is good news. I'm sorry if I don't take advantage of this opportunity!'
