The large courtyard where Zuo Feng is located has a platform made of square stones at each corner. The platform is not high and not very wide. Except for a very weird bronze drum, there is nothing special about it.
Although the material of the bronze drum is not special, the patterns carved on it are very special. There are protrusions that look like animal heads distributed around the bronze drum, and there are veins like clouds and fire, wrapped around the bronze drum.
If you are an expert in formation runes like Zuo Feng, you will be able to see that whether it is the animal head or the patterns on the surface, there are hidden runes contained in them, which ultimately form a formation that wraps the bronze drum.
At this moment, a warrior standing next to the bronze drum was holding two huge drumsticks and beating the surface of the bronze drum. If the drum was made of normal metal materials, it could only be used as a decoration and would not make any sound at all.
But now, the bronze drum in front of me can make a huge sound through continuous beating. It sounds like a dozen big drums are being beaten at the same time, with a chilling momentum of thousands of horses galloping.
At this moment, under the war drum in the southwest corner, two middle-aged men stood with their hands behind their backs, their expressions looking extremely solemn, as if they were each thinking about something.
The middle-aged man standing behind the two people would secretly glance at the two people in front of him from time to time.
"Shu closes the accounting office. This matter is too important. I hope you will think it over again before making a decision. After all, this will directly affect the family's big plans in Kuocheng." The person who spoke was one of the middle-aged men, who was also the only one in this place besides Rouge.
Another guest outside.
Hearing the guest's words, Accountant Shuguan frowned slightly, but said in a cold voice: "Didn't you hear what Shujiang just said? Do you know that the Lin family we represent represents the super aristocratic family of the Xuanwu Empire.
How can I bear it when someone knocks on my door and poops on my head?"
The man standing respectfully behind was Shujiang who came here to report the news through the secret passage. When he heard the words of the accountant Shuguan, he was overjoyed and immediately said: "What the accountant said is very true, although it is only a part of the family.
It’s a small place, but after all, those clan members are under the protection of the Lin family. Now after being humiliated in this way, they are also being killed ruthlessly. This... this is simply a shame for the family."
While Shu Jiang was speaking, the guest in front of him turned his head and glared coldly. Shu Jiang hurriedly lowered his head and did not dare to say anything, but there was a faint smile in his eyes, and he obviously did not regard the guest as a stranger.
One thing.
"For such a big matter, we are not good at making decisions, so it would be better to inform the shopkeeper." Ignoring Shu Jiang, Ke Qing turned to look at Shu Guan, the cashier, and suggested.
Looking over with a smile, Accountant Shuguan shook his head and said: "Brother, your name is Nitang, you can't just stay in the mud and not seek advancement. You and Yanzhi are both guest guests, but your status is different.
The difference is huge. Isn't it because you have been timid and fearful of things over the years, not seeking merit but seeking no faults?"
Ignoring the ugly look on the guest's face, the accountant Shuguan continued: "The transformation of the great shopkeeper through the formation method consumes a lot of money. Now the retreat is probably at a critical time. If I go to disturb you, I know the consequences of offending the big shopkeeper.
In fact, you also understand that if Rouge hadn't been injured and recovering from his injuries at the moment, I wouldn't have even asked for your opinion. Brother Nitang didn't see that this is not only an opportunity for me, but also an opportunity for you."
After listening to Shuguan's words with a gloomy face, this guest named Nitang still seemed to be determined to say something. However, Shuguan interrupted him impatiently, pointed directly into the distance and said: "When the family heard that Juwu
Gu, they are all coming, if you keep chattering, don’t blame me for not saving face for you in front of the younger generation."
The guest's face was extremely ugly, and it was obvious that he was very reluctant, but he could only sigh heavily and say nothing more.
Shu Jiang stood respectfully behind the two of them. Although he lowered his head, the smile on his face gradually widened, and he was secretly proud of his original foresight.
Long before he came to Kuocheng, he had already made some preparations and gave a large amount of his own money to the accountant Shuguan in front of him. If not, I believe Shuguan would not have agreed so happily this time.
The sound of breaking wind in the distance and the powerful fluctuations of spiritual energy are constantly appearing in the perception, and they are gathering here quickly.
Those with the lowest cultivation level among these people have already reached the early stage of sensing Qi, and those with higher cultivation levels are even at the early and middle stages of receiving Qi.
There were about two hundred warriors approaching quickly, and Shu Jiang was even more ecstatic to see him. Although he was in charge of the side street in Kuocheng, he didn't know much about the situation in the old city, let alone where his family was.
There are many strong people here. I just know that their strength should not be weak.
Seeing so many strong men in front of him, Shu Jiang understood that tonight's trouble was no longer a trouble. With such a large group of people, the corpses of those who caused trouble would definitely be wiped out.
Many warriors flying over consciously stood respectfully under the bronze drum. Instead, a young warrior slowly walked out to Shuguan and Nitang and bowed respectfully.
Shujiang didn't know the person in front of him, so he naturally looked up and down curiously, while Shuguan and Nitang naturally recognized the person in front of them. Shuguan was the first to speak: "The family has some troubles now, and we need to urgently mobilize a group of people to solve it.
This operation can be regarded as the highest level. Shu Kun, you are responsible for selecting the manpower. A total of one hundred and fifty people will be selected to follow me."
The young man who came forward alone was Shu Kun, who had just been promoted. After hearing what Shu Guan said, he was shocked and at the same time, he almost let out a happy ** with joy.
Since the family entered Kuocheng, they have been taking the most frequent actions in the recent period, and the only one that has reached the highest level of action was the failed siege outside the painter.
If he had participated in such an operation in the past, Shu Kun would have been extremely depressed, because the danger of such an operation would never be small. But now he is looking forward to it, because he is now the leader and does not need to charge forward.
, if the action is successful, your own contribution will far exceed that of others.
Shu Kun cupped his fists and said "Yes" in a deep voice, then turned around to face the warriors behind him. At this time, nearly two hundred warriors had already arrived. Even Zuo Feng and Shusuo had just arrived here.
.
After vaguely hearing what Shu Guan had just said, Zuo Feng seemed to have thought of something. While he was thoughtful, the corners of his mouth slightly curled up unconsciously.
What was completely different from Zuo Feng was Shu Suo on the side. He looked at Shu Kun in front of him, with the flames of resentment and jealousy burning in his eyes.
Just now, Shu Kun was the first to react, and without even a word of warning, he left quickly. He saw that the family's martial arts drum was being beaten, which was a great opportunity for him.
Facts have proved that Shu Kun's guess was absolutely correct, but at that time he didn't pay attention to Shu Suo at all, obviously not wanting to share such a good opportunity with him.
It has to be said that although both of them are equally selfish, Shu Kun is slightly better in scheming and reaction. At this moment, Shu Kun, who is standing in front of the team, has a peaceful smile on his face and begins to choose among the team to participate in the action.
people.
When he walked in front of Shu Suo and Zuo Feng, Shu Kun pretended to be close and said, "The eldest brother and the fourth brother will join me in action soon. There is no need to rush to the front. When I come back to ask for credit, I will definitely not be missing two of them."
Brother’s.”
At this moment, Shusuo's face looked very strange. He was obviously suppressing his anger, but he still had to force out a smile. It almost looked like his face was about to be paralyzed.
Zuo Feng, on the other hand, naturally showed a warm smile on his face, cupped his hands in front of his chest, and said thank you.
Without stopping for more, Shu Kun continued walking and continued to select warriors to participate in the action. If you look closely, you will find that most of the people Shu Kun selected have cultivation levels above the middle stage of Qi Sensing. Even Zuo Feng, who is in the late Qi Sensing stage,
level, it can only be ranked at the bottom among them.
Looking at Shu Kun who was selecting warriors, Ni Tang couldn't help but said: "Shu Kun, we shouldn't have participated in this operation. If you finally decide to participate, I hope you won't call these people in front of you. They are our main
The biggest trump card in the city."
"That's why I need to let these people participate. Otherwise, what's the point of sending weak people? If you suffer a loss in the end, you will bear the responsibility." Shuguan became more and more dissatisfied and glanced coldly.
A glance at the Keqing mud pond next to me.
Sighing, Ni Tang weakly shook his head. He also listened to what Shu Jiang told about the situation. Originally, the young man from the Gui family was very aggressive in doing things, and with Shu Jiang's exaggerated narration, he felt very angry.
But after all, he was still calm. After careful analysis, he felt that there was still something wrong with it, so he stood up and tried his best to stop it.
But after all, he was only a guest minister of the family, and he was far lower than Yanzhi's lowest status guest minister, so Shuguan ignored him at all. Even the more he persuaded him, the more determined Shuguan was to take care of this matter.
When Shu Kun returned, Shu Guan waved his hand without hesitation and said: "I won't say any more nonsense. This operation can only succeed but not fail. Except for members of our family, everyone you see is unfamiliar.
Everyone is an enemy, you know what to do."
"kill!"
One hundred and fifty warriors roared in unison, even far surpassing the beating of the martial drums before. The murderous atmosphere was melodious, just like before an army set off for battle.
After issuing the order, Shuguan looked at Keqing's mud pond with high spirits and said: "How about it, Mr. Keqing, will you walk with me?"
Without hesitation, he waved his hand and Keqing Nitang refused directly: "Now that the big shopkeeper is in retreat to recover from his injuries, and Keqing Rouge is still recovering from his injuries, one person must be left to take charge of this place."
With a disdainful smile on his face, Shu Guan didn't even bother to say another word. He stood up and flew towards the center of the courtyard.
Behind him, more than a hundred warriors also quickly rose up. This force already exceeded more than half of the power of the Shu family in Kuocheng at this moment. Looking at the gradually disappearing figures, deep worry appeared on Nitang's face.
