The second thousand two hundred and forty-four chapters intentionally subdue
Looking blankly at the young man in front of him who was less than twenty years old, this young city lord who was several years younger than his brother, Ai Huo unconsciously felt a sense of powerlessness in his heart.
When he had this feeling, Ai Huo's eyes could not suppress a flash of surprise. Apparently Zuo Feng's reaction was far beyond his expectation.
He looked at Ai Huo in front of him calmly, taking in the look of surprise on his face, but his face remained calm, and his smile became even brighter.
After a short silence, Ai Huo hesitantly said: "Then, how should we arrange and allocate our manpower?"
As soon as these words were spoken, Ai Huo already said in his heart, "No," but now that the words had been spoken, he couldn't take them back even if he wanted to.
Opposite Zuo Feng smiled faintly and said calmly: "I will naturally make arrangements when we get there. Since they are willing to join Feng City, as the city lord, I will never let their sacrifices be in vain."
Seeing a hint of embarrassment on Ai Huo's face across from him, Zuo Feng smiled lightly and continued: "But if Brother Ai Huo has any good suggestions, you can tell them directly and we will go over the details together."
After Zuo Feng finished speaking, he looked at Ai Huo in front of him with a faint smile. However, from the subtle changes in his expression, Zuo Feng had already figured out the other person's inner thoughts.
And Ai Huo did feel like he was being seen through. He looked at Zuo Feng blankly, not knowing what to say for a moment. On the contrary, the young man next to him raised the corners of his mouth and smiled softly.
He spoke.
'Brother, I told you not to do such tricks. You see, you are asking for trouble!'
His face turned red and blue, and he didn't know whether it was because of shame or because he was angered by his brother's words.
After a while, Ai Huo suddenly coughed. He used this method to cover up his embarrassment. He rolled his eyes at his brother and then turned to Zuo Feng.
"Ahem, I haven't officially introduced him to the city lord yet. He is my biological brother. When we were young, our family suffered a big change. Only I and I escaped. Now we are the only two brothers left to depend on each other. Before, we were together.
Kuocheng has also accumulated some wealth.
However, after the incident in Kuocheng, several years of hard work have been in vain, and now we two brothers have nothing."
Zuo Feng still had that calm look on his face, and his eyes seemed to accidentally glance over the backs of the two Fire Eagles that were lagging a little behind. His eyes naturally passed over the many warriors riding on them.
Ai Huo sighed softly, and said with some dejection: "Although we originally had our own belongings, we often communicated with each other in private. In fact, we just don't want to spend the rest of our lives in confusion. Everyone still has the dream of becoming stronger.
"
Looking up at Zuo Feng, Ai Huo hurriedly explained with a slight panic: "City Lord, please don't misunderstand me. We people have no intention of taking advantage of you. It's just that when we were together, we often discussed the future."
A way out. I have the highest level of cultivation among them, and everyone respects me as "Brother Fire".
If such changes had not occurred in Kuocheng, I think it would be difficult for everyone to make up their minds and completely give up everything they had before. Everyone has no other thoughts about Feng City Lord. They really hope to work together with Feng City Lord and fight for their own.
Let’s fight in the future.”
Seeing that Zuo Feng was still smiling, Ai Huo became a little anxious and said: "The city lord still can't believe what I said. Everyone really doesn't have two minds. It's just me...me, that's all."
If the city lord doesn’t like it, I’m willing to leave!”
Seeing Ai Huo lowering his head dejectedly, Zuo Feng said calmly: "Why, you promised to follow me and regretted it so quickly?"
He suddenly raised his head and looked towards Zuo Feng, but Ai Huo's face was filled with joy. He then hurriedly knelt down on one knee and lowered his head and said, "Thank you City Lord for not giving up. I, Ai Huo, will never dare to claim to be their leader again, nor will I."
I will no longer discuss with them privately, and everything will be subject to the arrangements of the Lord of the City."
On the contrary, Ai Hu, a young man next to the middle-aged man, suddenly said with a smile: "I told you a long time ago not to play these little tricks. Since you have chosen to defect to the Lord of the City, wouldn't it be better to leave everything to the Lord of the City?
."
When his brother said this, Ai Huo refused to refute, but shook his head in shame. As a result, Zuo Feng also slowly stood up, walked forward and helped Ai Huo up with his own hands.
Ai Huo lowered his head in shame, but stood up immediately. Zuo Fengxiao looked at the young man next to him, couldn't help but change the subject and said, "Your brother is quite talented."
Hearing Zuo Feng praising his younger brother, Ai Huo suddenly became energetic and said immediately: "Your Majesty, the city lord has a sharp eye. My younger brother can be regarded as the one with the best cultivation talent among the generations of the family. If not
There has been a change in the family, and now he believes that there is more to it than just the current level.
Over the years, I have been gritting my teeth, willing to endure any hardships, just hoping that one day I can train my younger brother. I think you, the city lord, also know the various resources needed for cultivation. Based on the small shop I run in Kuocheng, I can’t even do it now.
It has already reached its limit. There is no need to do anything to follow the city lord, as long as you can..."
"Brother, why are you talking about this!" Ai Hu, a young man who had always been smiling, suddenly became filled with anger. He turned to look at his brother and said loudly.
Rather than being dissatisfied with the young man's gaffe, Zuo Feng looked at Ai Hu with interest. Among these people, I am afraid that Ai Hu was the one who attracted the most attention.
"Brother, don't be angry. There are things that I don't want to mention again, but it's different today. You and I, brothers, and those brothers, we finally have the power to live in. I must mention this too.
Well, I don’t look forward to anything else, I just hope that you can grow up one day.”
From Zuo Feng's cold eyes, Ai Hu's cultivation talent is probably considered to be superior even among those super aristocratic families. However, being able to reach this level is supported by indispensable cultivation resources.
Zuo Feng has been unwilling to speak, which does not mean that he is not curious, but now that he is the city lord, asking about the other party's past, especially the details of the other party's cultivation, seems a bit petty.
In addition, Zuo Feng had already seen when he was in Kuocheng that these people in front of him had great trust in the moxa fire in front of him, which had both advantages and disadvantages for Zuo Feng, the city lord.
The bad thing is that these people have already identified Ai Huo in their hearts, so the status of the city lord in their hearts will naturally be much weaker. Maybe Zuo Feng can slowly turn things around with his own ability and strength in the future, but this
It will definitely take some time and effort.
But there are disadvantages, and of course there are also advantages. To conquer these people who have just joined, in fact, all you need to do is capture Ai Huo.
While riding the Astral Fire Bird Monster, Zuo Feng understood Ai Huo's intention when he heard Ai Huo ask to ride one together. In fact, this was exactly what Zuo Feng wanted. When he agreed, he just got on the mount and directly
They were left to dry.
By the time Ai Huo couldn't help but speak, the initiative at that time was already in Zuo Feng's hands. Although Ai Huo was older and had experienced a lot, he had chosen to join Feng City and face Zuo Feng.
First of all, the city lord is a little shorter.
In addition, he didn't know much about Zuo Feng, and from the perspective of an ordinary young man under the age of twenty, this made Ai Huo even more miscalculated. After talking to each other, Zuo Feng didn't even speak a few times, and just used expressions and
With the change in his demeanor, he has firmly grasped the rhythm of the conversation.
Hu Bo and Yao Qiu'er, who had been silent next to them, didn't know what was going on at first. They only thought that Zuo Feng and Ai Huo were talking about innocuous things.
Only Huan Kong closed his eyes slightly, as if he was meditating and practicing, but the corners of his mouth that occasionally raised showed the joy in his heart. As an apprentice at such a young age, he had such scheming skills, so of course he had this
As a master, I also feel that my face is bright.
The other person who saw the conversation between the two was Ai Huo's younger brother Ai Hu. He knew his brother's purpose from the beginning, so he could see it more clearly from the perspective of a bystander.
Unlike his elder brother, Ai Hu initially disapproved of his brother's actions, but he did not deliberately stop him. In fact, he also wanted to use his brother's actions to see what kind of person the city lord he wanted to serve was like.
What surprised Ai Hu was that his brother, who had always been arrogant and arrogant, was surrendered by the young man who was younger than him in just a few words.
He didn't say much, but Ai Hu felt vaguely unconvinced in his heart. His brother mentioned the same old tune at this time, which also hurt his brother's self-esteem invisibly.
Seeing his younger brother getting angry, Ai Huo was different from usual, and shouted in a stern voice: "Even if you don't want to listen, I have to say it. Our Ai family was considered a big family in the past, and we haven't fallen into this situation now.
I have placed all my family's hopes on you, and you must be self-aware."
The two brothers were really angry and stared at each other, but they were speechless for a long time.
"You two don't have to argue about this, please listen to me." Zuo Feng opened his mouth, immediately attracting their attention, and then continued: "Brother Ai Huo, the revival of the family is important, but it must be hastened.
In fact, you also know the truth behind being unfaithful. Especially during the journey of cultivation, there are too many stumbling blocks. Those who make it to the end are the strongest, and walking steadily is always better than walking fast."
Then he turned to look at Ai Hu and said: "Although your brother's expectations for you have caused a lot of pressure, this pressure may not be turned into motivation. I personally don't hate motivated people, as long as you don't use them as motivation."
Just turn it into an unfulfilled ambition.
Any force has rewards and punishments. As long as you have made achievements, you should naturally strive for what you should get. I am also happy to see you become stronger, and I hope you can win the power of the Ai family again."
The seemingly indifferent words made both brothers Ai Huo and Ai Hu moved.
