In the evening, Zuo Zai and Amber returned to the guest room with tired faces, each holding a food box in their hands.
After all, they were going out for "hanging out" as an excuse, so of course they had to bring something back to be normal. The two of them finally went to Yixiang Restaurant, ordered twelve dishes, packed them in food boxes, and brought them back
, this approach can be regarded as completing the play.
The four of them sat around the table, and Zuo Feng no longer pretended to be sick and was lying on the bed. The person who sent Amber and Zuo Zai back before had seen Zuo Feng's situation, and it was obvious that this was also Zuo Feng.
Feng deliberately wanted the other party to see the result. Everyone could guess that Zuo Feng had a purpose, but they didn't rush to ask.
After confirming that there was no one around, Zuo Feng made a gesture to indicate that everyone could rest assured, and said softly: "You two are going well today. How are you doing in investigating the situation in the Acropolis?"
While eating, Amber and Zuo Zai exchanged glances, as if they were deciding who would explain. Finally, Zuo Zai twisted his face and went about greeting the dishes in front of him.
Seeing the other party's actions, Amber also smiled lightly and said: "The two of us have hardly eaten anything for a day. We spent all our time wandering around the city. Let him eat first, and I will tell you what I know.
, let him add the rest."
"It's just you who is naughty." Zuo Zai muttered vaguely with food in his mouth.
Glancing at it with a smile, Amber immediately replied, "I asked you to say it but you didn't want to, so let me say it first and then you can say that I was slippery. I just missed two places. You can't blame us for this."
"
From the two of them teasing each other, Zuo Feng could feel a sincere friendship. This was different from the first time he met Zuo Zai in the old district in the north of Kuocheng City. At that time, although he was with Shu Kun and Shu Suo
They seem to be in harmony, but in fact there have even been irresolvable conflicts and irreparable rifts between them.
Apparently Zuo Zai didn't really blame Amber. He rolled his eyes and went back to eating. On the contrary, Zuo Feng was aroused and asked: "Is there a place that was missed? Why is there a place that was missed?
Did you not notice it at the time?"
Amber shook his head, raised the wine at hand and took a small sip. Nifeng, the lowest cultivation among them, has also reached the late stage of Qi sensing. Not to mention drinking a few glasses, even drinking a few jars will have no problem.
.
In the process of drinking, Nifeng seemed to be just sorting out his thoughts, and then he slowly said: "Actually, it's not an omission. Among the several important locations in our original idea, there were two places when we went there in the morning.
I was stopped. After some discussion, I decided to come back in the afternoon to look for opportunities. However, when I returned in the evening, there was still no chance."
"Which two places?" Zuo Feng asked as he poured another small cup for Amber.
"Of these two places, one is the city lord's palace located in the central area, and the other is the sacrificial branch hall established by the empire here."
After a brief pause, seeing Zuo Feng staring at him, Amber continued: "The defense of the city lord's palace is very tight. I'm afraid the governor's mansion in the county city is not as good as that. There is another sacrificial branch hall.
, it’s even more exaggerated than the City Lord’s Mansion. Not only is the external defense tight, but the formation fluctuations that can even be felt are comparable to the city defense formation in the inner city.”
Although Zuo Feng was born and raised in Ye Lin, he grew up in a mountain village. He was originally not very clear about the matters at the top of the Ye Lin Empire, especially the Sacrifice Hall, the highest level organization in the Ye Lin Empire. He only learned about it recently.
Some.
To be able to become the largest ruling body of the Ye Lin Empire, with a powerful combat power like Benxiao Pavilion, and the presence of peak powerhouses like the Chief Priest and the Four Great Priests, the strength of the organization is absolutely inestimable.
Judging from these, it seems very reasonable that the sacrificial branch of the Acropolis has a strong guard force and a powerful defense formation. It seems that Amber and Zuozai have nothing to gain from this sacrificial branch.
It's quite reasonable.
But looking back at Jiang Xin, it seems a bit abnormal that the city lord's mansion has such defensive power. Zuo Feng doesn't know much about the city lord Jiang Xin now, but he only knows that the opponent's status was not very high at the beginning, and now he has become a new
The lord of a city in a place like Hunting County has powerful power in his hands, which is a bit thought-provoking.
"I have an intuition that this Jiang Xin may not be simple. Unfortunately, I don't have much time and energy to dig out this guy's situation. Otherwise, he may become an important chess piece for me."
This is the conclusion that Zuo Feng came to after analyzing the information in front of him. Just after he finished speaking, Zuo Zai immediately said: "I think so too. In fact, we still have to go out to investigate. Jiang Xin
We will also pay more attention to it."
Zuo Feng knew that if a person like Jiang Xin really had a powerful identity and background, he would try his best to conceal it. However, he had no intention of stopping Zuo Zai. After all, Ai Cheng had too little power that he could rely on now.
, if you gain something, wouldn’t you have a lot more chips in your hand?
"Well, where else did you go?" Zuo Feng asked softly while picking up a mouthful of food and putting it in his mouth.
"City Guards Station!" Amber spit out three words calmly and calmly,
Suddenly hearing these three words, Zuo Feng almost spit out the wine he had just drank. He swallowed it subconsciously, but it directly choked his throat. The wine was of good quality and had a very spicy taste.
strong.
After a violent cough, Zuo Feng said helplessly: "You are too direct. I asked you to check the situation. You won't go directly to the city guard station to check the situation, right?"
Regarding Zuo Feng's question, Amber was serious and nodded as a matter of course.
"Of course it's the city guard station. If you want to understand the defense of a city, I'm afraid you can't understand it more directly than in the city guard station. And didn't you say that you need to be straightforward to understand the city defense situation, so they will think that we are in the city?
put on a show."
Looking at the serious expression on the other party's face, Zuo Feng felt as if he couldn't laugh or cry, but the words he said before were indeed his own, and now it was really hard for him to accuse Amber of any fault.
"What situations have been detected?" Zuo Feng no longer wants to worry about Amber's behavior, whether it will make the other party think that it is just for acting, or is this the real purpose.
After pondering for a while, Amber said: "The defense of the Acropolis is very complete. Even before the warriors from Benxiao Pavilion arrived, there were about 400 warriors stationed in the guardhouse. If we include the warriors who are on rotation, the number would probably be even higher.
There will be another one hundred to two hundred people.
The strength of the warriors is pretty good. They are generally in the early to mid-stage of Sensing Qi. In the late-stage and peak stages of Sensing Qi, they are the ones with the highest cultivation level in the team. There are about forty of them."
Nodding, Zuo Feng already had a general understanding of the city guard's combat power, and then turned around and said, "How about the side at Benxiao Pavilion? Judging from when we entered the city, they should also have joined the city guard.
"
Hearing "Bianxiao Pavilion", Amber's expression instantly darkened, and at the same time he said: "The strength of Benxiao Pavilion is far beyond imagination. Originally, we only knew that those who went to Licheng, it turned out that there were two young men under Wu Tian.
Pavilion Master, when we first went to Licheng, not even half of Yu Pavilion's combat strength was dispatched."
After hearing the situation in Benxiao Pavilion, Zuo Feng's heart sank, because his main enemy now happened to be Benxiao Pavilion. Now in this acropolis, Benxiao Pavilion still has such a strong fighting power, which is indeed beyond his imagination, and the situation is also
It was much more serious than I had expected before entering the city.
Amber paused for a moment, letting Zuo Feng digest the information just now. When Zuo Feng started eating again, he continued to introduce.
There is some good news at the moment, that is, there is indeed a conflict between Jiangxin and Benxiao Pavilion. They have been in a state of dispute over whether Benxiao Pavilion is responsible for the defense of the acropolis or Jiangxin's city guards.
At present, Jiang Xin has an order issued by the Lord Ye Shan to all the city lords, "The defense of the city must be in the hands of the city lords." With this in mind, Wu Tian and others in Benxiao Pavilion cannot directly take over with strong methods, so the warriors of Benxiao Pavilion
They can only stay in the city and the defense of the city gates and walls are still in Jiang Xin's hands.
Zuo Feng understood the good news that Hu Hu was referring to, which was that Jiang Xin was much easier to deal with than Benxiao Pavilion, but Zuo Feng didn't think so. The two of them fought passionately behind closed doors. After all, it was all internal conflicts. Once he showed up,
, both of them are likely to point the finger at themselves.
After thinking of this, Zuo Feng was unwilling to dwell on this issue any longer and continued to ask: "Besides these, do you have any other discoveries?"
Amber seemed to be very excited about Zuo Feng's question, and she immediately said: "I don't know much about the formation, but when we checked along the acropolis, we found that the inner city except the east gate and west gate
Outside the city gate, there are other passages in the north and south directions."
"Passage? Isn't it a city gate?" Zuo Feng felt a little puzzled by Amber's statement.
Amber glanced sideways at the food in front of Zuo Feng, with a sly smile, and said: "This situation is a bit special. Do you think I should say it or not?"
"Are you holding on? If you have anything, please tell me quickly." Zuo Feng glared fiercely and urged while stuffing food into his mouth.
Zuo Zai on the other side frowned and put down the food. Amber smiled faintly and said: "The passages on the north and south sides are usually closed to people. They are mainly for the yellow and white substances excreted in the inner city. They have to be passed through the city."
Transport it out. Because the smell is too pungent, it will not be transported out from the east and west city gates."
"puff"
He barely swallowed the sip of wine before, but Zuo Feng really couldn't control it this time. The rice and vegetables he had just chewed sprayed Amber all over his face.
