The sun is high in the sky, which is the hottest time of the day, but it is already the middle of winter, and even in southern Xuanwu, it is extremely cold now.
A heavy snowfall last night wrapped up the entire city, and you could see a vast expanse of white. On the winter morning after the wind stopped and the snow settled, every breath of air was filled with a refreshing feeling, as if it was flowing in an instant.
It spreads from the mouth and nose into the chest and abdomen, and then quickly flows throughout the body.
Let out a gentle breath, and a faint white mist will float in front of you, and then slowly dissipate at a speed visible to the naked eye. Ordinary people can't help but come out for a breath of air in such weather.
Because the warriors are more willing to come out and take a breath.
It's just that today's Kuocheng is obviously different from usual. Although there are many people in the streets and alleys, most of them show an extremely serious and dignified look.
.
Some people wore obvious family clothes, and the largest number were people from the Su family and the Wang family. These people were like patrol teams, either a small team of six people or a large team of nine people, walking in the streets and alleys of Kuocheng.
Wandering around in it.
If they see a suspicious person, they will go directly for interrogation. If any problems are found during the interrogation, they will directly detain the person. However, they will not interrogate them randomly, they will only treat those who are suspicious.
If you observe carefully, there are still some people wandering around on the street. They will pay special attention to their surroundings while walking. These people seem to be wandering around aimlessly, but if you follow up and observe, you will find that these people
The area and direction of walking are completely traceable.
In this way, a large number of people in the vast city spread an invisible net, covertly and covertly, and many warriors were exploring everywhere, covertly and covertly.
Not everyone on the street at this time is an informant of the Suwang family. Some families and forces were originally neutral parties, but now they will send people out to feel out the situation to decide what to do next.
Another group of forces had flirted with the Ghost Painter, and had even directly participated in the Ghost Painter's actions. At this time, they couldn't sit still, and naturally they needed to send people out to find out the situation.
Everyone had different mentality, but they all dispersed their hands. On the "busy" streets of Kuocheng, three very inconspicuous warriors were slowly walking through a remote narrow alley and entering the main street.
above.
The cultivation of these three people seems to be very ordinary. Even if they are closer, they are only at the middle stage of Qi sensing. Three men with this kind of cultivation will naturally not attract people's attention when walking on the streets of Kuocheng.
The man walking at the front among the three of them has a slightly sallow complexion, as if he has just recovered from a serious illness. However, under the sparse eyebrows, there is a pair of shrewd eyes. Although he is restrained most of the time, he is still full of energy inadvertently.
The light appears, and he notices almost everyone who appears near him.
Seeing that no one around him noticed him, the man spoke softly: "Third brother, there is a lot of danger in coming out this time. I didn't want you to come with me. You also have a good impression in the mind of the big shopkeeper.
There is no need to come out and take this risk."
The person in front spoke slowly. His cultivation had reached the middle stage of Qi Sensing. It was hard to tell that he had participated in the operation last night and was one of the only people who escaped successfully.
So.
The person who can be called the third brother by Shu Suo is of course Zuo Feng, who has now been renamed Shu Tianle. Judging from his appearance, Zuo Feng's cultivation is only at the early stage of Qi Sensing.
The other person is slightly behind the two, half a step behind. Obviously, he has the lowest status among the three, and is just the most ordinary warrior among the magicians.
Hearing Shusuo's words, Zuo Feng smiled slightly and said: "Brother, what are you talking about? I can't leave all the dangerous work to you. The younger brother should at least help share some of it. The big shopkeeper is very discerning, otherwise he will
I won’t let you lead the team. Although I asked to come, I’m actually worried about my brother’s safety.”
Shusuo tilted his head slightly and took a deep look at Zuo Feng behind him, as if to judge how sincere Zuo Feng's words were. People like him usually wear masks, so for Zuo Feng's words, first of all
will have a skeptical attitude.
It wasn't until he saw Zuo Feng's sincere eyes, looking at him without flinching, that he nodded and said: "Old San, you are the most affectionate, so I won't say more if you want to be polite. Brother, make a mental note.
Your love is over."
Zuo Feng didn't say much, but there was already an unconcealable disgust in his heart. The title "Third Brother" was originally given to Shu Zai. However, Shu Zai was almost killed by his two brothers.
The cheap brother was also directly mentioned as the third brother.
The warrior walking behind the two of them at this moment was a person re-sent from the family, and he replaced Zuo Feng, the fourth brother, as a new member of their group.
For Zuo Feng, this new member seemed a bit unfamiliar, but he didn't care too much about it. After all, he came with a purpose, but for this new person, Zuo Feng compared to Shusuo and Shukun.
The two of them are more vigilant and wary.
At present, the Lin family has changed its original ways, or has to adjust its original mode of action. This is because the only secret passage used to enter and exit the old Beicheng area where the family lives has been completely destroyed after the previous war.
The requirements for martial arts practitioners are obviously no longer suitable for the current situation. Unless they can't get out, they can only break the original rules.
Zuo Feng and the others walked directly out of the old city. This was also the first time that Zuo Feng learned about the specific location of this area. Coupled with what they had spied on in the formation center before, the situation of the entire magicians in Kuocheng has been
Completely controlled by him.
At this time, Zuo Feng had actually completed his main purpose of entering the art house. If he had followed his original plan, he would have successfully retired from the art house.
Moreover, his original purpose of coming to Kuocheng was to borrow the teleportation array in the city, and use the teleportation array to go to Ye Lin, and then transfer to the Ancient Wasteland Empire from there.
But now the situation in Kuocheng is not optimistic. There are even fierce beasts and the Netherworld clan on the periphery, and Duan Yueyao and Yao Qiu'er are still in the hands of the Mu clan. Zuo Feng has to solve these problems.
Staying within the Shu family, Zuo Feng could not do anything, and even the information he received was too limited. This time, Shu Suo was sent out to do something, and Zuo Feng immediately volunteered.
To Zuo Feng's surprise, the request was approved very smoothly, and the family immediately sent them out to investigate the situation inside Kuocheng.
There are no fixed passages in the old district in the north of the city. There are some dilapidated and dense old houses connected together. The most ordinary and lowest-level people live in the periphery. Only close to the central area are the real warriors who belong to the magicians live, and they are also responsible for
Peripheral alert.
Zuo Feng and others walked out of it in a zigzag manner. If Zuo Feng hadn't had an amazing memory and had walked through various secret passages underground in the Hollow Land, he would have been dizzy by the complicated road now.
The warrior who sent them out took them outside and then turned back without hesitation. Zuo Feng and others inquired about the situation while approaching the main street.
As he continued to move forward, he got more and more news. What surprised Zuo Feng the most was the victory of the Suwang family. This meant that even if his identity was exposed, as long as he could escape back to any of the Suwang family's mansions in time,
, can temporarily save your life.
Of course, there are many derived news surrounding the victor and the loser, and it is difficult to distinguish the true from the false. Some people say that the Su and Wang families have completely controlled Kuocheng, and even the city lord has been killed by them.
Some people say that Kuocheng is now safe, and the Su and Wang families are working on solving the troubles outside the city. It won't be long before Kuocheng and other surrounding cities will be free from the trouble caused by the ferocious beasts.
Others said that although the Guihua family suffered losses in the battle the night before, they escaped from the city in time. They deliberately set fire to the mansions of the two families to reassure the Suwang family.
All kinds of rumors are flying all over the sky, especially right after the incident happened and most people don't know the truth. It's hard to tell whether the news is true or false.
But some things are still certain, for example, the Suwang family at least has the advantage now, and the Guihua family suffered a serious setback in the battle last night.
Of course, Zuo Feng would not share his opinions with Shu Suo about various news, but Shu Suo told him his speculations. Zuo Feng just listened carefully and occasionally added a few words of praise.
As they talked, the three of them gradually walked from Beicheng towards the center of Kuocheng. There were more and more pedestrians on the road, and the three of them felt that the atmosphere was becoming more and more tense.
Not only were the warriors sent by the Suwang family patrolling the streets, but there were also some people who were obviously not ordinary passers-by and were also wandering around on the streets.
After discovering this, Zuo Feng and Shu Suo naturally became more cautious. The most important thing was that they did not want others to suspect them.
"Brother Suo, we have gathered enough information about the outside news. Shouldn't it be time to go to Mu's house and take a look at the excitement?" Zuo Feng reminded him in a low voice while paying attention to the people around him.
Shu Suo, who was walking in front, also observed the surroundings with vigilance, nodded, and said: "Third brother, don't you have a soft spot for that place? If you don't have a mission this time, I will definitely take you there."
See it."
"Why don't you let the eldest brother spend money? If I have the chance, of course I will honor you as the younger brother." Zuo Feng smiled slightly and said in a mature manner.
"Okay, okay, I'm very happy if you have such a heart. Yes, we are indeed on a mission this time, but to find out their situation, we must go deeper. If this Zuixianglou can't
If you go inside, you probably won’t see much, so okay, I’ll take you there and let you see the world!”
When the voice of Shusuo fell, Zuo Feng's heart moved slightly and he thought to himself.
'Sure enough, I am really planning on targeting the Mu family, but I don't know what the big shopkeeper will decide.' Zuo Feng thought in his mind, and his pace quickened a bit.
