The first thousand eight hundred and forty-seven chapters test the tone
Zuo Feng, who had been busy all night, had only slept for less than three hours so far. If possible, he would have liked to sleep for two more hours.
But at this time, Zuo Feng's eyes were wide open, with a helpless smile on his face. The smile was because he found a way last night to unleash the fighting power of a strong man in the Qi stage, but he was helpless because he couldn't get what he asked for.
of sleep.
Less than a breath after Zuo Feng opened his eyes, there was a knock on the door. With the help of the formation, Zuo Feng could detect anyone approaching immediately. Being among the magicians, he
You must be on guard at all times.
There was no need to open the door at this moment, Zuo Feng already knew the identity of the person outside, but he still asked symbolically "Who".
A young man's voice came from outside and said calmly: "Third brother, I am a technical staff member. The eldest and second brothers have called you to have breakfast."
Sighing silently, Zuo Feng replied softly: "I know, you go first, I will come later."
After replying to the technician, Zuo Feng slowly stood up and felt the cultivation level in his body that had completely calmed down. Knowing that there would be no more trouble due to the promotion of cultivation level in a short period of time, he washed and changed clothes with peace of mind.
As soon as the neatly dressed Zuo Feng stepped into the room, the three people in front of the dinner table all turned their heads to look at him. The three people's eyes were a bit wary, and Shu Suo and Shu Kun were even more...
Very uneasy.
This subtle change could be clearly caught the moment Zuo Feng stepped into the room. Moreover, Zuo Feng also understood why the other party showed such an expression.
When Zuo Feng came back last night, he suddenly encountered an opportunity for a breakthrough. Shusuo and Shukun felt threatened at that time. Shusuo didn't know the inside story at that time, but after a night of reflection, he now understood that the two eldest brothers
Brother, what exactly did you do to your third brother?
He was simply concerned about whether the third brother in front of him took the opportunity to break through after returning last night. He didn't know what kind of pills Shu Kun took out, otherwise he would be like Shu Kun and Shu Suo at this moment, only caring about the present.
Zuo Feng's mood.
People who take Guqi Pills will no longer be promoted in a short period of time, so Shu Suo and Shu Kun are afraid that Zuo Feng will notice that there is something wrong with the pills and attack them.
Zuo Feng entered the room, pretending to be helpless with a bitter smile, sighed and shook his head, sat down in his seat, and said helplessly: "It seems that I am not very lucky this time. No matter how hard I try after I go back, I will not be able to do anything."
I never found that kind of breakthrough opportunity again. As a result, I worked until midnight and still got nothing."
While saying helplessly, Zuo Feng picked up the porridge bowl in front of him, picked up a pickle and started eating.
Seeing Zuo Feng's expression of helplessness and embarrassment, but not delaying his meal at all, Shu Suo and Shu Kun secretly exchanged glances, and both could see that the other was relieved.
"Third brother, you don't need to worry too much. Since there has been an opportunity for a breakthrough, it's either this time or the next time. Don't rush into this kind of thing." Shusuo comforted softly, while helping Zuo Feng hold half of the risk.
Oily salted duck eggs.
Shu Kun also hurriedly continued: "Yes, haste makes waste, but it will also hurt the body. With the talent and ability of the third brother, I believe that we will soon encounter the next opportunity for breakthrough. There is no need to rush, this matter
There is no need to rush."
Although he disliked these two people very much, Zuo Feng felt that he wanted to thank them for what happened last night, especially the pills Shu Kun took out were of high quality and helped him a lot. He even wanted to thank them directly.
Looking at the appearance of the two people in front of him, Zuo Feng knew that these two guys had a guilty conscience and acted like this. After thinking about it for a moment, Zuo Feng had a plan and asked curiously: "I didn't have time to ask the two brothers last night, what are we doing?"
When reporting the situation to the big shopkeeper, who are the two old men sitting in the corner of the room?"
If such a question was asked in normal times, the two people in front of them would never tell him easily, but now they feel guilty, so they are not worried about telling everything they know.
Sure enough, as Zuo Feng expected, Shu Suo and Shu Kun did have the intention to please Zuo Feng. When Zuo Feng asked, Shu Kun was the first to speak: "Those two people can be regarded as the 'horizontal' generation in the clan.
They are somewhat prominent figures, and the big shopkeeper usually calls the two of them 'Heng Wu Heng Liu'. Although their cultivation is not as good as that of the big shopkeeper, the power they possess is by no means small."
Shusuo on the side seemed to know more, so after Shukun finished speaking, he added: "Originally, these two people will not be dispatched by the big shopkeeper. They each have their own industry and power within the city.
It is estimated that in the previous battle with the Ghost Painter, our strength was too weak, so the big shopkeeper discussed letting them merge."
Squinting his eyes slightly, Zuo Feng picked up the half of the duck egg, inserted his chopsticks into it and stirred it gently. The oily yolk and white egg white fell into the bowl together.
Holding the porridge bowl, Zuo Feng asked casually: "So, not only are the two of them coming, but a large number of family warriors will also come with them."
Hesitating slightly, Shu Suo seemed to be weighing something, but when he raised his head, he met Zuo Feng, who was smiling slightly and staring at him.
With a thought in his heart, Shusuo immediately said: "That's true. Although these two people are not as good as the big shopkeeper, their power in my lineage of Shu is not low. Naturally, they will have a group of trusted followers.
There is no too specific news at the moment, but I believe those people should have integrated into the old city. After all, without the cover of the secret passage, the old city also needs to strengthen its defense."
Nodding, Zuo Feng took the light yellow porridge and put it into his mouth. The way he ate was still the same as when he was in Ye Lin.
Shu Suo and Shu Kun frowned slightly. They were both from aristocratic families, so they would naturally be more particular when eating. However, thinking of Zuo Feng's background, the two of them smiled secretly and paid no more attention to it.
After that, the three of them just chatted casually, covering their respective actions in the past few days. Although they kept it secret from other clan members, the four of them knew each other well, so they did not deliberately hide it when they talked.
In the past two days, Shusuo's main activities have been outside the family, mainly observing the movements around the family, especially investigating any suspicious people nearby.
It can be seen that the Shu family has attached great importance to the family's defense during this period. In addition to Hengwu Hengliu quietly bringing a group of warriors, Shusuo also extended the family's warning range to more than a mile.
Shu Kun and Shu Liao have always been moving together these past two days, but their whereabouts seem a bit mysterious. They say they are inquiring about ghost painters everywhere in the city, but Zuo Feng believes that these two people are definitely not telling the truth.
After careful calculation, it seems that Shukun was not involved in all the actions after the head-on confrontation with the ghost painter. However, his actions were very secretive. There should be something extremely secret, even if it affected both himself and Shusuo.
hide.
The four of them ate and chatted as usual. Some things were talked about with gusto, some things were passed by in passing, and some things were pretended to be deaf and dumb. They had breakfast in this seemingly harmonious atmosphere, and each of them had his or her own thoughts.
Dispersed.
It was like this every day. After several people had dinner, they would go about their respective tasks. But today, after Zuo Feng left Shusuo's room, he did not go back directly to his own room, but deliberately slowed down.
When the technician came nearby, Zuo Feng suddenly pulled him, and the technician was caught off guard and his sleeves were pulled. Zuo Feng, when the opponent was stunned, quietly glanced back and confirmed the technique.
Staying in the room, Shu Kun had already returned to his room, and then he smiled slightly and spoke.
"Fourth brother also knows that I have been running around everywhere these days, so naturally I know a little bit about everything. A few days ago, I accidentally heard that there are two particularly famous things in Kuocheng. One is Cao Ji's pickled elbows, and the other is sold by the Luck and Fortune Merchants Association.
Fengtian Cellar Wine.
I believe that paired with some Anpingju side dishes, it will definitely be a delicacy in the world. I heard that the fourth brother also likes to have a few drinks when he has nothing to do. Now of course it is not appropriate for us to go out to eat and drink. There will be no problem in the residence, so why not
Let’s have a few drinks tonight.”
Unexpectedly, Zuo Feng would actually offer to treat him to a drink. A hint of joy flashed across the face of the technician, and then he said: "In this case, it's not good to let the third brother spend money, so I will buy Cao Ji's sauce elbow."
, let me do the rest for you, Third Brother."
He raised his hand and punched it lightly, and said with a smile: "You are so polite to me, okay, okay, I will prepare the wine and dishes, but Cao Ji's sauce elbow is very good."
Don’t forget, if you try it once, you will become addicted.”
The technician responded repeatedly, and the smile on his face became a little brighter. The two brothers chatted for a few more words before saying goodbye. Zuo Feng returned to the room and slowly closed the door, and the expression on his face immediately became serious.
"Cao Ji? It's toward the south of the city. What could be there? The Su family is close to the south of the city, and the Gui family is also in the south of the city, but it doesn't seem to be a convenient way to Cao Ji. So what else could be their destination?"
Zuo Feng couldn't help but murmured in a low voice, and the doubts in his heart became a little more intense.
The reason why Zuo Feng just invited his fellow technicians to have a drink was actually to probe their mouths and know the approximate location of their activities during the day.
Shujia is in the old district in the north of the city, while Caoji, Yuncai Chamber of Commerce and Anpingju are located in three places, located in the east, west and south respectively. Zuo Feng deliberately mentioned these three places, and Shujia believed them to be true and mentioned Caoji, which also narrowed the scope.
In the south area of the city.
But now Zuo Feng has new doubts. What can they do if they go to the south of the city? After the big battle with the ghost painter, the situation of the Shu family was very bad, and from that time on Shu Kun had been operating in secret.
It can be seen that what they did was not simple.
Rouge had been missing for a while, but she showed up last night. Apparently, they already had some clues about what they had done before.
After knowing this, Zuo Feng not only failed to reach any conclusion, but also had a deeper level of worry.
