The faces of the people in the courtyard were all solemn. Everyone seemed to be holding their breath, and their eyes were focused on the shopkeeper.
In order to obtain Kuocheng, the Lin family has been preparing for a long time. If the Shu and Mu families of the Lin family join forces, and with the cooperation of forces outside the city, it will be almost certain to capture Kuocheng.
But just because they were so sure, there was an obvious rift between the two families named Mu and Shu, and they even plotted against each other. Now, Rouge wants to directly take away Duan Yao's two daughters from Captain Lin's hands.
The captain in turn sneaked into the old city of the art lineage.
No one could have expected that the situation in Kuocheng would immediately undergo huge changes due to a space collapse. The formations had been strengthened as a whole through the hands of the leaders and marshal-level figures of the four families, and then the four families even more
With a tacit understanding, the level of city defense was raised.
The Lin family's biggest support was suddenly completely cut off at this moment. This was the heaviest blow to the shopkeeper and Captain Lin.
The big shopkeeper, who looked extremely ugly, spoke again: "I have an early agreement with those guys. Can I send a signal to them?"
Rouge, the other guest, and the three cashiers all raised their heads and looked at the big shopkeeper with shocked faces. Of all the big shopkeeper's questions, this one seemed to be the most surprising.
Carefully checking the expression of the big shopkeeper, Yanzhi couldn't help but asked tentatively: "The previous Council of Elders has made a decision. Should we contact them privately..."
"Well!" The big shopkeeper's voice suddenly rose to a high pitch, with an absolute superior attitude, which frightened Yanzhi and quickly lowered his head. Then he said: "The current situation is no longer when the Elder Council formulated the strategy. Since I am in charge of Kuocheng's
Command, then the right to make emergency decisions is in my hands."
Seeing that Rouge's words had no effect, the accountant bravely said: "I hope the shopkeeper will be careful. If Kuo City is in the hands of our clan, we can naturally negotiate terms with those guys, but once we lure those people into Kuo City,
The city, this place, this place will no longer have any value."
Zuo Feng, who had been standing behind the big shopkeeper with his head lowered, seemed to have a blank expression on his face, as if he could not understand the conversation between several people. But in fact, Zuo Feng had a "turbulent sea" in his heart. Although he had vaguely heard about the relationship between the Lin family and the murderer
The Beast Nether Clan colluded, but Shuzai and others knew too little.
Now that he heard the vague conversations between several people, Zuo Feng was certain that the Lin family and the ferocious beast Nether Clan definitely had a deeper cooperation, and it was not just as simple as Shu Zai said at the beginning.
If the current situation in Kuocheng is already chaotic enough, then with the addition of the ferocious beast Nether Clan, even if Huan Kong recovers his cultivation, he will not be able to resolve the chaos in front of him.
Scanning the few people in front of him with a contemptuous look, the big shopkeeper said coldly: "If any of you are sure of solving those four families, I will voluntarily give up the position of the big shopkeeper to him. If not, then you must learn to obey.
, I still understand what I said!”
The last sentence of the shopkeeper was not a question, but his tone was clearly an order. Rouge and the others immediately nodded respectfully, and no one dared to raise any objections.
"Okay, follow what I said and let those people find opportunities to spread the message." The big shopkeeper said while waving his hand impatiently.
When Shusuo and Shukun saw the gesture directed at them, they hurriedly bowed and saluted respectfully, and walked backwards out of the courtyard. Seeing the two leaving, Zuo Feng was moved in his heart, and he also hurriedly saluted and prepared to leave.
Instead, the big shopkeeper said: "Wait a minute, I have something else to ask you."
The cashier and another guest on the opposite side all said goodbye and left, but Yanzhi hesitated and said, "Shu Suo and Shu Kun are too cunning. If they are allowed to lead the team, I'm afraid..."
The word "inappropriate" was already on his lips, but Yanzhi didn't dare to say it. He didn't dare to touch the boss's brow at this time.
With a cold smile, the big shopkeeper said nonchalantly: "Don't you think I can't see what their character is? But this time they have made great contributions to the family, and it will be hard to convince the public if they don't reward them. Besides, people who act openly and aboveboard may not be able to do this today.
The broad city will live long."
Raising his head slightly, Zuo Feng secretly glanced at the back of the big shopkeeper. This seemingly headstrong leader seemed to be far more shrewd and sophisticated than he thought.
"Go!" He waved his hand impatiently, and the shopkeeper had already turned to look at Zuo Feng.
Yanzhi, who finally left, didn't say anything more, but looked at Zuo Feng with a hint of doubt in his eyes.
In the quiet courtyard, only the shopkeeper and Zuo Feng were left, which made Zuo Feng somewhat puzzled. In the formation, the other party had repeatedly tested him before. If the other party really still had doubts, he should not
Only if you can take yourself out of the formation.
Facing Zuo Feng, the big shopkeeper swept away his previous gloom, showed a smile for the first time, and said slowly: "Your original name is Mu Xiahe, which means you are originally the lowest level person in the Mu family."
I don't know why the other party mentioned this. Zuo Feng nodded carefully and looked at the man in front of him blankly.
"But with your talents and talents, you should never be at this level. I hope you tell the truth." The big shopkeeper still had a smile on his face. Zuo Feng didn't feel anything from him, let alone that the other party was hiding something.
With murderous intent.
Hearing this, Zuo Feng couldn't help but become more vigilant, but he also roughly guessed the big shopkeeper's intention.
After organizing his words, he said: "What I have today is given by my family. Although I should get more resources with my talent and ability. However, I also have my own helplessness."
The top of his eyebrows raised slightly, and the shopkeeper only said three words, "Go on."
Zuo Feng continued obediently: "My mother is at the bottom of the wood family, and my father is just an ordinary little warrior in the vassal family, and he has only reached the peak of the bone refining stage."
When he said this, Zuo Feng looked sincere and murmured secretly in his heart.
'I'm just bragging. My father has no cultivation at all, and in terms of background, I'm afraid I can't even compare to a vassal family of the Lin family.'
Looking at Zuo Feng seriously, feeling the unmistakable helplessness in his eyes, the shopkeeper nodded gently, and the smile on his face became a little brighter.
"If I want to stay in the Shu family forever, I have to completely devote myself to the Shu family after the Kuocheng incident is over." The big shopkeeper looked at Zuo Feng and said calmly.
There was a clear flash of excitement on his face, but then Zuo Feng's face turned gloomy. He shook his head and said, "Thank you very much, the shopkeeper, for your kindness, but I dare not agree to it."
"Oh, you think my surname is not good enough?" the shopkeeper asked in surprise.
"How could it be possible? Being able to join the Shu family is the dream of all people of the Wood family. I'm afraid no one in the Xuanwu Empire would refuse. I have dreamed of being able to join the Shu family one day since I was a child."
"Then why...?"
Biting his lip gently, Zuo Feng seemed to be extremely conflicted at this moment, until the big shopkeeper said impatiently: "If you have any questions, just tell me. I will not punish innocent people for no reason."
Nodding, Zuo Feng seemed to have taken great courage and said: "I come from a humble background. Not to mention I have no relatives or friends in the art lineage, I don't even have any support in the Mu lineage.
I have suffered countless rejections and suppressions since I was a child. Sometimes, the better I perform, the more trouble I will get into. Entering the art department with my status, hey, I don’t dare to think about the future.
.”
Hearing Zuo Feng's concerns, the shopkeeper showed a look of relief on his face. He seemed to think that such an answer was reasonable, and the last bit of doubt was completely put aside at this moment.
"The Big Shopkeeper is just my title in Kuocheng. This time things are over successfully and I will enter the Presbyterian House. I can promise you that as long as you are willing to follow me from now on, you will never be ostracized or ostracized in the Lin family.
They will be suppressed."
Looking at Zuo Feng with a smile, the shopkeeper asked again: "Are you willing to join the Shu family?"
Hearing this, Zuo Feng's face was full of surprise. He knelt down on one knee in a panic and said respectfully: "I am willing to join the wood system, no, I am willing to follow the big shopkeeper and obey all the arrangements of the big shopkeeper.
"
Hearing Zuo Feng's words, the smile on the big shopkeeper's face became even brighter. He stretched out his hand to help Zuo Feng up and said at the same time: "From now on, you are mine, but for the time being, you are still an ordinary warrior of the Shu surname.
I want you to return to your original team."
After being stunned for a moment, Zuo Feng immediately said: "Don't worry, Mr. Boss, I will pay more attention to every move of Shu Suo and Shu Kun."
Smiling and nodding, the shopkeeper gently patted Zuo Feng on the shoulder and said: "I really did not misjudge you, yes, go ahead."
Bowing and saluting again, Zuo Feng still maintained a respectful look and walked backwards out of the courtyard. Only after walking out of the courtyard did Zuo Feng realize that his palms were full of sweat.
Just now, the big shopkeeper had the intention of wooing him, but he was also testing himself secretly. If he hadn't guessed what the other party was thinking and added a clever answer, he might have made the other party wary and suspicious even if he wouldn't be captured on the spot.
Just walking out of the courtyard, he saw a woman walking out of the alley next to her. Although Zuo Feng had noticed it for a long time, he quickly acted surprised and saluted in a panic: "I have seen you, Rouge Guest."
"Boy, I can't believe that you are so lucky to be favored by the big shopkeeper. But I advise you to be clear about your identity and position, and not to follow the old path of Shu Zai." Yanzhi narrowed his eyes slightly and said, obviously just now
She heard what she and the big shopkeeper said.
"Please rest assured, Mr. Rouge, I know where I am and who I want to serve. I will neither look at the kindness of the chief shopkeeper nor dare to look at the support of Mr. Rouge."
"Haha" he chuckled softly and said softly: "You are very clever, but I hope you don't get fooled by your cleverness. Come on, I will escort you to the courtyard."
Following Yanzhi, Zuo Feng couldn't help but glance at the courtyard behind him with his peripheral vision, and an imperceptible smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.
