When Zuo Feng withdrew from his spiritual realm, the sky had begun to turn brighter.
After a busy night, the inn finally started to become a little quieter, especially the second floor, which seemed to exist in a forgotten corner.
Originally, this place had nothing to do with the accident that happened last night, and the people living on the second floor did not have the qualifications and courage to participate in the robbery last night. So after Amber and Zuo Feng returned late at night, the second floor of the inn
The first floor has become an existence that is somewhat incompatible with the entire inn.
But at this moment, a sound of footsteps brought Zuo Feng back from his thoughts. If it were ordinary footsteps, it would not have attracted Zuo Feng's attention at all, but the sudden sound of footsteps immediately aroused Zuo Feng's alertness.
It is almost difficult to hear any sound from the footsteps. Even with a keen ear like Zuo Feng, it is difficult to distinguish that the subtle sound is the sound of footsteps falling. But even so, Zuo Feng is still sure that there is a warrior in the corridor.
The sound of footsteps, and the other party is also a master.
Moreover, Zuo Feng guessed that the other party must be a little uneasy. Otherwise, given this person's cultivation and ability, it would be impossible for him to detect it. I am afraid that the other party may not even feel it when he walks to the door.
The subtle sound slowly approached, and the other party didn't seem to hesitate at all, but came straight towards him. The footsteps only paused slightly when they arrived outside Amber's door, as if he hesitated there for a moment.
.
At this time, a tall, thin figure with white beard and hair had already appeared in his mind, and the words "City Lord Lin" almost came out of his mouth, but Zuo Feng still suppressed the impulse. Such a high-profile shouting revealed that he already knew the other party.
After arriving, he also guessed the identity of the other party, which was very detrimental to him. Zuo Feng finally gave up on this impulsive move.
A moment later, someone knocked on Zuo Feng's door. Zuo Feng deliberately sat down for a moment and then slowly said, "Come in, the door is not bolted."
Zuo Feng deliberately spoke so casually to make the other party think that he regarded the outsider as an inn clerk.
The door of the room was slowly pushed open. Zuo Feng deliberately did not turn his head to look, his eyes still fell on the inn courtyard outside the window. He said lightly: "Breakfast is ready, go and pick up my friend next door."
Call over here."
When Zuo Feng spoke, his tone was calm and without any emotion, but he could feel a pair of ruthless hunting eyes staring at him, giving him an awkward feeling like a thorn in his back. He knew that the other party was closely observing his every move.
If the other party sees any problems, it is not impossible to take action directly here.
You can feel the aura of opposition slowly rising, and the dangerous feeling like a fully drawn bowstring pointed at you has been lingering in your mind. But if you always turn your back to the other party, I am afraid that as time goes by, the other party will become aware of the problem.
Thinking of this, Zuo Feng secretly gritted his teeth, his expression immediately turned slightly dissatisfied, and he slowly turned around and said: "Didn't you hear what I said? Didn't I tell you to go over and call my friend up?"
Well, uh, it’s the Lord of the City. I’m sorry, I’m sorry!”
The originally dissatisfied look on his face immediately turned into an extremely embarrassed smile after seeing the other person.
"I didn't expect that it was City Lord Lin who came here. I was still thinking of taking the time to visit you today. Why should I, this junior, pay me a visit? Please take a seat inside."
The moment Zuo Feng turned around, the opponent's dagger-like eyes contained a hint of murderous intent. Zuo Feng felt that he was right. If he didn't respond well, the opponent might really kill him.
Fortunately, Zuo Feng turned around decisively, giving the opponent no chance to brew the murderous spirit in his heart. Zuo Feng's performance was quite natural, because this was the result of what he had just rehearsed several times in his mind, and he thought he could still force it out.
He got past this old fox.
Although the murderous intention on City Lord Lin's face had subsided, the aura in his body was still swaying endlessly. Naturally, these Zuo Feng were keenly aware that the opponent still had not lost the intention to kill him at this moment.
After hesitating for a moment, Zuo Feng pretended to be surprised and said: "Looking at the way the Lord of the City seems to be still angry, I think it must be because we didn't move into the upper room as you arranged. I'm also thinking about it.
I was a little unruly in Tushan Town before, so I didn't dare to be too unruly when I got here.
The city lord booked a room for us out of love for the younger generation, but the younger generation can’t go there shamelessly, and I hope the city lord doesn’t argue too much with us juniors.”
Zuo Feng's words were generous and appropriate. He not only brought up the matter of himself and others not staying in the room first, but also used this method to ease the awkward atmosphere between the two parties.
City Lord Lin hesitated for a moment, then nodded and walked into the room. Although Zuo Feng still had a respectful smile on his expression, he let out a long breath in his heart.
Although both of them appeared extremely calm on the surface, in fact, there was an undercurrent surging beneath the calm appearance. Zuo Feng knew that if he did not handle it well, he would be in danger of being overturned. City Lord Lin came here because of
For a moment, it seemed that he was convinced that he was the one behind it, and at the same time he was determined to eliminate himself at all costs.
But I don't know why, this determination wavered at the critical moment. If Zuo Feng's judgment of him was based on Zuo Feng, he should never be so sloppy and unable to make a decision. Although Zuo Feng tried his best to cover up his suspicion, no one could
Looking at what happened last night, Zuo Feng should have played an important role in it.
Although there is no substantive Eight Hands in hand, with the strength of City Lord Lin and those people last night, if they just have suspicions, they can just go on a killing spree and ignore others. But now the other party obviously has no doubts, but he is willing to talk to him.
The fight ended, which left Zuo Feng a little confused.
At this moment, Zuo Feng was a little confused about City Master Lin, not because the other party was too cunning, but because the other party was too easy to fool. Since the situation was very beneficial to him, Zuo Feng would not say much else, but continued to greet Lin with a smile.
The city lord went to the house and sat down, while he poured a bowl of water for the other party.
He served the water as a junior, and said with a smile: "Junior, there is no tea here, and there is nothing to entertain. I just use this bowl of water to express my gratitude. Thank you, Lord City Lord, for taking care of the room for us. Although we
I didn’t check in, but I still appreciate the kindness. I hope the seniors won’t blame the juniors for their poor behavior.”
Although the two sides are now enemies rather than friends, since they have not yet reached the stage of quarreling with each other, Zuo Feng is naturally willing to do his best. Especially if he says a few innocuous words here, it will have no impact on Zuo Feng.
burden.
City Lord Lin narrowed his eyes and looked at the water he had pushed down. He couldn't help but look at Zuo Feng again. After a moment of hesitation, he picked up the bowl and took a big sip. If you just judge from his
From the look on his face, it seemed as if what was in the bowl was not water but water. It didn't even look like wine, but more like a night of poison.
Of course Zuo Feng knew in his heart that in the battle last night, the old man lost his wife and lost his troops. One-third of the men he sent were killed, and it was not known whether the remaining people left alive, at least according to Zuo Feng
As far as I know, a few people were seriously injured.
In addition, even the city guards have been affected. Although Zuo Feng doesn't know the details of these situations, thinking about it makes him feel happy. Some people are happy and others are depressed. The old man surnamed Lin opposite is the most depressed one.
, but when facing Zuo Feng, he had to pretend to be indifferent, as if everything had nothing to do with him.
More importantly, City Lord Lin now has to pretend to be an adult. He waved his hand and said with a smile: "My little friend doesn't like to live in the upper room arranged by me. Of course, he has the right to choose. How could this old man do it?"
How much to blame."
After a slight pause, he continued: "Actually, I have an old friendship with Mayor Gao of Tushan Town, and what happened in Tushan Town is just a misunderstanding. I am preparing a room for you this time, and I also hope to be a peacemaker and let you and
Let the mayor clear up all the past grudges."
Seeing that the opponent was still holding on for dear life at this time, Zuo Feng couldn't help but feel a little laughable in his heart. Naturally, there would be no change on the surface. He pretended to be stupid and said: "Where did this misunderstanding come from? It was just a little bit during the selection.
It’s just twists and turns, how can I blame the mayor and his old man for such a thing? City Lord Lin, please rest assured."
City Lord Lin nodded heavily. At this time, he lowered his head to prevent Zuo Feng from seeing the change in his expression. But he cursed secretly in his heart, "Little twists and turns, these little twists and turns in your mouth have almost robbed Tushan Town."
, all the valuable items were used as gambling compensation and were looted by you.'
He said to himself in his heart. At the same time, he couldn't help but think of his loss last night. This old man who usually behaved calmly couldn't help but tremble all over.
If he didn't have too many scruples, he would probably slap the young man in front of him to death right now, and why would he talk nonsense with him here?
Sighing secretly in his heart, City Lord Lin put on a smile again and said slowly: "I came here this time just to see how well Mr. Shen had a rest last night. This Yuanshan Inn can be considered a good one in our Tushan City.
Counting to two, I didn’t expect that the young master would find this place the first time he came here.”
These words were obviously meant to be used by Zuo Feng, but Zuo Feng replied without hesitation: "My good brother has been here several times, so he knows a little about this place. He recommended it to me
I originally thought the environment of this Yuanshan Inn was pretty good, but I didn’t sleep well last night. There were shouting and killing and the need to arrest ‘robbers’ outside, which made me unable to get much rest all night.”
The corners of City Lord Lin's eyes twitched slightly. Zuo Feng's seemingly unintentional words touched his tense nerves. However, City Lord Lin's expression only changed slightly, and he immediately regained his composure.
