Chapter two hundred and twenty eight consecutive trials
Seeing Zuo Feng's expression, the woman in palace clothes just smiled slightly, but Li Ru, who was introducing him, had a bad look on his face, and continued: "Why, can't a woman be the lord of the city? Can't a woman hold the power?"
Although Zuo Feng was surprised, he also realized that Li Ru must be really angry at this time, so he hurriedly explained.
"Miss Li, don't get me wrong. I'm not looking down on women. I also have a mother and a sister. How can I have any prejudice against women? It's just that in such a chaotic place like this, a woman can hold the power alone.
And I am surprised and admired for being able to manage this notoriously chaotic place in an orderly manner."
Yao Xun never raised his head, concentrating on eating the delicious dishes in front of him. However, he couldn't help but nodded after Zuo Feng finished speaking. Zuo Feng's words just now were perfect. Not only did he explain the reason why he had just lost his composure, but he also
In turn, it gives a good impression to the two women opposite.
Li Ru still seemed a little angry and couldn't calm down. He turned his head to the side with a "hum" and stopped paying attention to Zuo Feng. Instead, the woman in palace clothes looked deeply at Zuo Feng for a moment before continuing: "Actually,
Friend Shen Feng's surprise seems understandable. After all, in this continent, there are only a few women who hold great power. I am afraid that only a figure like the "Fantasy Life" senior from the Ancient Wasteland Empire can make people forget about their women.
Let’s take a portion.”
These words were spoken with emotion, as if they explained all the sufferings of this woman in palace attire. Li Ru seemed to be touched in her heart, her eyes were slightly red, and she no longer paid attention to Zuo Feng, but looked after herself.
He picked up the wine glass in front of him and drank it all in one gulp.
"My name is Li Shang, but almost no one in this city knows my real name, and almost no one knows the identity of my woman."
Zuo Feng was shocked by Li Shang's words. He did not expect that the other party would tell him such a big secret. At the same time, he was a little confused as to why the other party trusted him so much, or that the other party had made up his mind to keep him here forever.
After getting down, Zuo Feng looked a little embarrassed when he remembered what the other party had said before.
The woman named Li Shang saw the change in Zuo Feng's expression, but she didn't pay too much attention to it. Instead, she continued: "I encountered a lot back then. If it weren't for your actions, senior, I would have turned into ashes by now."
Bones. So..."
Yao Xun, who had always had no expression, slowly spoke with a somewhat lonely look and interrupted the woman's words.
"Don't mention what happened back then. It has little to do with you. I once warned you not to wade into this muddy water, but you just didn't listen."
While Yao Xun was still speaking, the woman named Li Shang had already shed tears and said in a hoarse voice: "How could it have nothing to do with me? My brother died because of that guy, and I was harmed by him.
How can I not look for him to avenge my brother?"
Yao Xun showed a hint of helplessness and said: "But you are no match for him. There is no difference between revenge and death."
"As long as you are willing..."
Yao Xun shook his head with difficulty. At this time, the old man's chest was heaving violently, as if he was constantly struggling in his heart. After a long time, he said: "I told you, I can't kill people, I can't use poison, you can't do this.
We all know it. He has done so many things, and I believe that one day, God will..."
"No, he has not been punished, he has not received retribution, his life is getting better and better, and he is so free now. Don't you know all this, or do you not want to know at all?"
Li Shang's words were a little exciting, and Zuo Feng was as confused as a monk. The topic just now was still surrounding him, but why did it turn into such a weird atmosphere in the blink of an eye, and it sounded like they were talking about a long time ago.
I can't say anything about it at all.
The atmosphere at this time was as cold as dripping water. Yaoxun and Li Shang both lowered their heads slightly and stopped talking, but Li Ru shrugged his shoulders slightly, as if he was the saddest person at the table. Zuo
Feng kept talking before and didn't take a few bites at all, but now that the atmosphere was so embarrassing, he was embarrassed to continue eating.
After a long while, Yao Xun sighed deeply, as if he wanted to say something, but Li Shang was the first to say: "Senior, don't be offended, I was just emotionally excited and couldn't control it. Senior, sit down and let me make up for it."
Just put on makeup and come back."
As Li Shang said that, he stood up and walked out. Zuo Feng could see that Yao Xun had just planned to leave, but with Li Shang leaving like this, he was too embarrassed to leave the table at this time, so he could only continue to stay helplessly.
Go down. Now it was Yaoxun and Zuo Feng who were helpless and embarrassed. After Li Shang went out, Li Ru also ran out with tears on her face.
Zuo Feng and Yao Xun were the only two people left in such a large room. Zuo Feng casually observed the furnishings and decorations in the room at first, but the two women did not come back, and his vigilance became increasingly high.
He remembered that Li Shang had mentioned when talking to him before that no one in this city knew that she was actually a woman, and that he had just rejected the other party's plan to stay. This information came together in Zuo Feng's mind.
At the same time, Zuo Feng became even more uneasy.
It was not the first day that Zuo Feng came out to explore. When he was in Zuojia Village in Yelin, people like the great elder Zuo Lie could betray the village and betray everyone. Later, he saw Fujika's betrayal, Yasuo's calculations and other things. Now he
Being in Luan City, not only did I not know Li Shang and Li Ru at all, but I still didn't know the identity of Yaoxun beside me.
"Boy, it's good to be cautious, but don't let fear replace judgment."
Just when Zuo Feng was hesitating whether to leave here immediately, Yao Xun next to him slowly spoke. Yao Xun and Li Shang were obviously old acquaintances before, and with the embarrassment of having his thoughts read through, Zuo Feng scratched his head and was confused.
Explained: "I just feel that the atmosphere is a bit awkward and I want to go out and get some fresh air."
"Old man, I eat more salt than you eat, why are you still pretending in front of me? Although the world is chaotic, don't lose your true heart because of others. Everything that seems reasonable and reasonable may not necessarily be true.
"
While Yao Xun was talking, Li Shang and Li Ru had already come back. They had actually changed into a new set of clothes. If you look carefully, even the headdress had changed slightly. Although Li Ru still wore
There was a little sadness, but Li Shang seemed as if nothing had happened before. He sat down with a soft smile on his face and said apologetically.
"I made senior and Mr. Shen Feng laugh. It may be that my previous emotions have been suppressed for too long. I apologize for my temporary lapse. If you two are preparing to leave now, then you are blaming me for not greeting you well."
After Li Shang finished speaking, he looked at Zuo Feng and Yao Xun with a smile. Zuo Feng was in an awkward moment. He felt that Li Shang knew about the conversation he had just had with Yao Xun. Yao Xun regained his indifferent appearance. , picked up the chopsticks and started eating directly.
"Young friend Shen Feng, you must have known each other for quite some time, right?"
Just as he was stretching out his chopsticks to try a plate of food that he had been eyeing for a long time, when he heard Li Shang's words, his chopsticks just hung in the air. After thinking about it for a moment, he said: "Actually, it's not too long to say it's long, but it's not too long to say it's short." It’s been a while.”
Zuo Feng spoke very calmly, and he felt that his answer was very clever. If he and Yaoxun had known each other for a long time since they came to Luan City, it was indeed quite a long time.
Li Shang smiled and nodded. He was not dissatisfied at all because Zuo Feng didn't answer his question directly, but continued to ask casually: "Young friend Shen Feng is so skilled in brewing wine, and he claims that he doesn't have this ambition, so what do you think about refining medicine?" There should also be some research on the technique."
Zuo Feng answered the other party's question directly this time and said with a smile: "I like both medicine refining and weapon refining, but my medicine refining is better than weapon refining. Of course, this It’s all for a reason.”
As he spoke, Zuo Feng glanced at Yao Xun beside him, but Li Shang was greatly surprised and said to himself: "Weapon Refining Technique? How come you have learned the Weapon Refining Technique?"
Li Shang, who was originally very calm, turned ugly after hearing Zuo Feng's answer. At the same time, he looked at Yao Xun with disbelief, as if he wanted to know Yao Xun's attitude towards Zuo Feng's answer. But Yao Xun still had the same indifferent look on his face. He stretched out his chopsticks to pick up the food, picked up the wine glass and drank from it.
Zuo Feng looked at Li Shang's strange expression with some confusion, as if his choice to learn weapon refining would actually cause a lot of trouble to her. Zuo Feng couldn't help but remember that during today's auction, Yao Xun once solemnly asked him if he was sincere. Wanting to learn to refine weapons, it seems that Yaoxun's performance at that time was similar to that of Li Shang.
These situations were lingering in Zuo Feng's mind, and all possibilities were eliminated by Zuo Feng. He still couldn't figure out what the relationship between his choice and them was.
"Young friend Shen Feng's cultivation level is very extraordinary. This technique of yours must also have an extraordinary origin. I can't even tell what level your cultivation level is."
Zuo Feng didn't know why the other party changed the subject so quickly, but he still replied vigilantly: "This technique is somewhat special, but the person who taught me the technique asked me to swear an oath not to leak it, so I hope the Lord of the City will forgive me. .”
Instinctively, Zuo Feng felt that Li Shang was trying to test something. The first thing Zuo Feng thought was that the other party wanted to know his identity. This also made Zuo Feng couldn't help but think of whether the Ye Lin Empire had a generous reward as a reward. So. Although Zuo Feng looked extremely calm, he was particularly cautious about Li Shang's problem.
After listening to Zuo Feng's answer, Li Shang Xiumei frowned and looked thoughtful. Suddenly she seemed to remember something and asked: "Little friend Shen Feng said before that he was very interested in refining medicine. I don't know the level of medicine refining now." To what level?”
