The firelight in the secret room trembled, and the air almost solidified.
"What?!"
Xiao Feng stretched out his hand to take the envelope in disbelief, looked at the words "Xiao Feng personally writes this" and the signature "Wei Changtian" on it, took a deep breath and asked:
"Where did this letter come from?"
"He was nailed to the door of the hall with a throwing knife in the afternoon."
The man swallowed his saliva and replied truthfully: "Master, you were not here at that time, so I collected the letter first."
"Okay... have you read this letter?" Xiao Feng asked casually while opening the letter.
"No."
The man's expression was calm, but beads of sweat broke out on his forehead.
Xiao Feng glanced at him without saying anything, but lowered his head to read the letter first.
The whole letter is not long, only one page in total.
But just these dozen lines of words made Xiao Feng read it over and over again for a long time, and his expression changed several times.
From doubt to shock, to fear, to gloom.
Meng Dao, Demon Catcher, Demon Appraisal Compass, Xuantian Sword...all his secrets, big and small, were written in letters. Most of them, he had never revealed even a trace to others, but now they were all given to Wei Changtian.
Said it out.
At the end of the letter, Wei Changtian also left a sentence——
I'll wait for you in Shuzhou.
The meaning of this sentence is very obvious, it is forcing myself to go to Shuzhou and "throw myself into a trap"!
Xiao Feng was silent for a while, then gently put the letter back into the envelope and looked up again at the big man opposite.
"This letter... you have actually read it."
"Gudu."
The man swallowed, and after struggling for a moment, he finally couldn't resist the pressure and fell to his knees on the ground, wailing continuously.
"Master! I, I really didn't mean to see it!"
"At that time, I was afraid that Wei Changtian was going to do something bad to you, and that there was something urgent, so I opened the letter and took a few glances at it!"
"Don't worry, I will never tell anyone what is in the letter!"
"I, you know my loyalty! And, I hope the hall master will spare me this time!"
The big man trembled and kept begging for mercy, while Xiao Feng lowered his head and remained silent. The Xuantian Sword lying beside him had been unsheathed a few inches without knowing it.
To be fair, what this guy said should be true.
If he was not sincerely loyal to him, he would not take such a big risk to send the letter again at this moment.
But from a rational point of view, killing people and silencing them is the safest approach...
"Zheng! Bang!"
A clear crisp sound echoed in the secret room, and the black sword was sheathed.
Xiao Feng suppressed the rage in his heart and slowly helped the man up from the ground.
"Brother Ren, although I have only sat on the position of the leader of this hall not long ago, I also know who is trustworthy."
"And since I believe you, it doesn't matter if you know the things in the letter."
"Tang, hall master..."
The big man immediately raised his head after hearing this, his face full of emotion: "I, I am willing to go through fire and water for you from now on, even if I die!"
"Brother Ren, there is no need to say such things..."
Xiao Feng shook his head bitterly: "You go out first, I want to stay by myself for a while."
"yes."
The man clasped his fists deeply, but after taking two steps, he suddenly turned back and asked: "Master, do you really want to go to Shuzhou?"
"..."
Xiao Feng hesitated for a moment, his expression a bit unwilling and helpless.
He returned to Beijing because a fortune teller said that he would have great opportunities in the capital.
But now, not only did he not get the opportunity, he even almost died at the hands of the Wei family several times, and even Lu Jingyao betrayed him!
He really lost his wife and lost his troops.
He originally wanted to find an opportunity to take revenge on the Wei family, but suddenly a letter like this appeared...
Xiao Feng already understood very well at this moment - his real mortal enemy was not Wei Xianzhi who ordered the murder of his whole family, but Wei Changtian who seemed to know all his secrets!
Thinking of this, he finally nodded slightly: "It's pointless for me to stay in the capital any longer. Some things must be decided."
"That……"
The big man's eyes were serious and his tone was very firm: "Then I am willing to follow the hall master and go to Shuzhou together!"
"Brother Ren."
Xiao Feng was stunned for a moment, then solemnly responded: "Don't worry! If you don't let me down, I will definitely not let you down!"
…
…
Luzhou, Anyi County.
Just when Xiao Feng relied on his "personality charm" to gain another loyal follower, Wei Changtian was changing glasses in front of a table full of delicacies.
Compared with Zhongling, Anyi County can be said to be extremely wealthy.
This can be seen from the luxury of the two county magistrates' mansions and the standard of their dinner parties.
Not only are there all kinds of birds and animals, there are even young shepherds playing music and dancing nearby to add to the fun.
"Master Liang, you might as well rest in Anyi for a few more days."
With a sincere smile on his face, the fat county magistrate raised his glass to Liang Zhen and said, "It just so happens that I can also show my gratitude as a landlord."
"Haha, Mr. Chen is so polite."
Liang Zhen laughed twice and drank the wine in one gulp: "But we have already been delayed for some time on the road, so we won't bother you anymore."
"Yes, I don't dare to delay my lord's schedule."
The fat county magistrate glanced at the sky outside, rolled his eyes and asked again: "But I wonder if your Excellency has any plans tonight?"
"Not tonight."
"That……"
The fat county magistrate smiled and said, "Sir, are you interested in going to see the dispute over the flower list?"
"Competing for the flower list?"
Liang Zhen was stunned and asked subconsciously: "Is this the case in An Yi?"
"It made the adults laugh."
The fat county magistrate was somewhat proud of himself: "Although this county is not big, it is located at the junction of the north and the south. There are many poor women living here from all over the world, so there are more places of smoke and willows."
"To be honest, sir, almost all the wealthy businessmen and officials in Luzhou have purchased residences in Anyi, and they come to live there for a period of time every year."
"And when there are more women in this world, they will naturally compete with each other. Today is the day when hundreds of women from the ninety-nine flower houses in the city compete for the top spot."
"I see……"
Liang Zhen nodded, understanding in his heart.
Wei Changtian, who was eating and listening beside him, was greatly surprised.
Good guy, there are ninety-nine brothels in just one county?
Dreaming about going back to Dongguan?
No wonder Anyi County is so rich.
In this era, others are still struggling in the primary industry, but here we have directly opened the door to relying on the service industry to generate income. It would be strange if we don't make money!
"Master Liang, if you want to take a look, I will make arrangements..."
Seeing Liang Zhen showing some yearning, the fat county magistrate hurriedly promised in a low voice: "Since ancient times, beauties have been matched with heroes. I believe that the oiran chosen today will also be willing to spend a good night with you..."
"this……"
After hearing this, Liang Zhen wished he could put down his chopsticks and leave right now.
But when he saw Liang Qin, who was looking at him calmly, he felt a little discouraged.
I must go, but I must not say it myself!
"Ahem, good nephew..."
With a slight cough, Liang Zhen asked Wei Changtian with a wink: "You heard what Mr. Chen just said. I don't want to go, but if you want to see the excitement..."
"Uncle Liang! I want to go!"
Wei Changtian rolled his eyes, but at least he didn't cause trouble.
"well!"
Liang Zhen sighed and nodded as if he was forced to do so.
