Zuo Feng and Mo Shangyu watched Jiang Xin leave politely. No matter whether the other party still had doubts in his heart, Zuo Feng knew that he still had to keep up the good work.
After Jiang Xin took a few steps, he just looked back inadvertently. Even though there were so many reasons to prove that the other party was not Zuo Feng, he still had a lingering suspicion.
He turned his head and looked back. Although he nodded to Mo Shangyu and Zuo Feng, he was actually still paying attention to the situation in the headwind. However, he looked very disappointed.
Nifeng now had a pair of curious big eyes and began to look around at the surrounding scenery, as if everything around him was more attractive in his eyes.
'Hey, is it really my illusion, but why do I always feel like I have overlooked something? Or is it because I have been disturbed by Benxiao Pavilion during this period, so I am particularly prone to random thoughts?'
Shaking his head helplessly, Jiang Xin couldn't find the reason, but he had no intention of staying any longer. Now that the relationship with the people in Benxiao Pavilion was becoming more and more tense, he had to return to the city lord's palace as soon as possible to take charge. With what he had seen in the imperial capital,
We have gained experience from all kinds of things. At this time, we cannot give in even an inch.
From Jiang Xin's point of view, Ben Xiaoge's visit to Acropolis this time was very different from before. Although they had their own explanations and reasons, Jiang Xin was sensitive to the fact that this was a battle involving power.
Every battle involving power is bloody and cruel, and even more brutal than fighting with other countries' forces.
At this time, if you give in step by step, you will only allow the opponent to advance step by step. When you are unable to retreat and are forced into a desperate situation, you will also be shattered into pieces.
Faced with this situation, Jiang Xin certainly refused to give in. Not only could she not give in, she also had to take the initiative to attack in a tit-for-tat manner. Over the past few days, Jiang Xin had also been secretly looking for opportunities to fight back, but she never encountered a suitable opportunity.
If he chooses Wu Tian as his opponent for the first time, it will never be a wise choice, and may even lead to death. He knows that his status in the Acropolis is actually not lower than that of Wu Tian.
It's just that Benxiao Pavilion's status is somewhat special in the empire.
But the problem is that if there is a head-on collision, the angry Wu Tian may take some drastic actions. Jiang Xin is not a fool. Of course, he cannot take such a big risk. He knows that if he takes action, he must use external force, and he has already used this external force.
The target was locked, but there was never a suitable opportunity.
Until today, an informant quietly came to report that Mo Shangyu had returned to the city. Jiang Xin immediately realized that the opportunity had come. Without any hesitation, he excluded the spies first to understand Mo Shangyu's situation after entering the city, and at the same time, he took his time.
began to go out on patrol.
This inspection of the entire city is within the scope of the city lord's responsibilities, but usually there may not be such an inspection for several months. Although Jiang Xin's sudden inspection of the city is a bit unexpected, it is not something outside common sense.
, most people don’t pay much attention.
While he was out patrolling, news about spies began to come in like flakes. When he heard that Mo Shangyu led people into the inner city and was blocked by the people from Benxiao Pavilion, he almost lost his composure.
Laughed loudly.
Because Jiang Xin happened to be patrolling outside, he soon "happened" to pass by the inner city gate and "happened" to see the dispute between Mo Shangyu and the Benxiao Pavilion warrior.
Although the behavior of the Benxiao Pavilion warrior was suspected of crossing the line, Jiang Xin could actually choose to turn a blind eye, and he had done exactly this before, so during this period, the behavior of the Benxiao Pavilion warrior became more and more careless.
.
However, what Benxiao Pavilion did not expect was that the seemingly "sheep"-like Lord of Jiangxin City would suddenly attack, and directly confront Benxiao Pavilion in this direct confrontation.
The chaos in front of the inner city gate has attracted the attention of countless people. Some of these people have considerable influence in Xinguan County, and some of them have direct connections to the imperial capital. After all, Xingang County is in the midst of the empire's full development and has the fastest rise.
The place.
It seems that this chaos has passed, but everyone knows that this is just a superficial calm. In fact, a bigger storm is brewing, but we don't know when it will break out again.
After Jiang Xin left with his men, Zuo Feng took a step closer to Mo Shangyu and said, "Master Mo, I did it for the sake of the family and for our lineage to not continue to be suppressed by the Great Elder's faction, but I didn't expect that I just came here.
I'm really... really ashamed that I've caused you so much trouble here."
As he spoke, Zuo Feng put on a distressed look, and at the same time reached into his arms and took out six gold cakes and stuffed them directly into the opponent's hands. Mo Shangyu was actually not short of money, but he had a very bad problem.
The bad habit is to be extremely greedy for money.
Just like a mouse, whenever he sees something he likes, he wants to drag it to his home. In front of him, Amber just gave him eight gold cakes in a "sensible" way, and then he turned around and became "sensible" again.
After stuffing him with six dollars, his originally small eyes were almost squeezed together.
"You're welcome, Brother Kang, you're going too far. Although we haven't known each other for a long time, we feel like old friends at first sight. I feel so cordial as soon as I see you. I really wish I could have gotten to know you years earlier."
He said "too much", but he stuffed the golden cake in his hand into his arms without hesitation, and even didn't forget to touch it gently to confirm.
While secretly laughing in his heart, Zuo Feng also echoed the other party and said, "Master Mo is talking about it from the bottom of my heart. I really wish I could get to know Master Mo earlier. In that case, our department might have already controlled the Kang family."
You have the right to speak."
This was a bit too much to say. Even Zuo Feng himself felt that he had made a mistake. He was not even twenty years old now. So if it were a few hours earlier, would he be cooperating on behalf of the Kang family if he wore crotchless pants?
.
But Mo Shangyu didn't care at all. Instead, he stretched out his hand with a laugh, patted Zuo Feng on the shoulder, and said, "Master Mo, this sounds too lively, and Shopkeeper Mo doesn't feel comfortable listening to it."
, just call me Big Brother Mo."
There was more than one round of age difference between the two parties, but Zuo Feng did not hesitate and immediately clasped his fists and saluted, saying respectfully, "My younger brother Kangzo, I have met my elder brother!"
Mo Shangyu was very happy with Zuo Feng's attitude and immediately called to his subordinates, saying at the same time, "I recognized Brother Kang today. I, Mo Shangyu, am very happy. Everyone, follow me to Yixiang Tower. You must have a good drink today."
No one is allowed to be polite to me."
After Mo Shangyu said that, he directly pulled Zuo Feng forward. Even Mo Shangyu's followers all looked at each other. For them, it was not uncommon for Mo Shangyu to be so generous. It was definitely rare.
It's rare.
Amber Nifeng and others didn't care about this. Following closely behind Zuo Feng, a group of people came directly to the center of the street.
There is a huge difference between the inner city and the outer city of the Acropolis. The outer city looks chaotic, almost a place without order. I am afraid that even the guards of the Acropolis rarely manage the outside.
On the other hand, the inner city in front of us is much better in terms of order. The streets look neat and clean, and there is no one setting up stalls on the streets. Although there are some pedestrians, they are not as crowded as the outer city, and there are many people walking between them.
They don’t crowd together, and everyone seems to obey the rules.
Pedestrians on the street can walk on both sides of the road, leaving the road in the middle free. Zuo Feng discovered before that when Jiang Xin led people away, he walked in the middle of the road, so the whole journey was smooth. But now Mo Shang
By taking him directly to the center of the road, it can be seen that Mo Shangyu's identity is by no means simple.
While Zuo Feng was thinking secretly, he heard a burst of noise in front of him, and then a group of warriors wearing black cloaks were walking from not far away. They were also walking in the middle of the street.
When he saw those people in the distance, Mo Shangyu's face darkened, but he didn't say anything more, but pulled Zuo Fenghao and continued to walk forward without stopping.
Zuo Feng's eyesight was very good. Even though there was still a long distance away, Zuo Feng could already see clearly. There were probably nearly twenty people on the opposite side. A dozen of them were walking in the middle of the street, and seven or eight more people would disperse across the street.
On both sides, pedestrians were constantly being held back, not only questioned face to face, but even searched in the street.
Such a scene was in huge contrast to what had happened in the outer city, and Zuo Feng finally confirmed that it was not that Benxiao Pavilion was not taking action, but that the action was completely concentrated in the inner city.
The opponent used the method of "expanding outwards and relaxing within", shrinking their manpower to the inner city. This not only allowed them to concentrate their forces, but also gave the outside world the illusion that the defense of the acropolis should be relaxed.
If you don't investigate carefully and dive in, you will become a turtle in the urn. It can be said that it is only a matter of time before the opponent captures you.
While Zuo Feng was making secret calculations, the group of people had directly blocked the path of Zuo Feng and others. The Benxiao Pavilion warrior leading the group shouted in a cold voice, "Everyone, please don't move. Anyone who dares to mobilize spiritual energy will be killed without mercy.
Anyone who dares to shout will be killed without mercy. Don't force me to kill anyone."
While speaking, this person had already waved his hand to let the warriors behind him start searching.
This time, Mo Shangyu's face was obviously uglier than in front of the city gate. The muscles in the corners of his eyes twitched, and then he said, "Do you know who I am?"
"I don't care who you are?"
A trace of disdain and contempt flashed across the face of the Benxiao Pavilion warrior, and spiritual energy surged in his palms, obviously he was about to take action.
Although Mo Shangyu's status was not low, his cultivation level was not high. He knew that he could not withstand the opponent's palm because the strength of the person in front of him had already reached the early stage of Qi cultivation.
"I am the manager of Duobao Trading House, Mo Shangyu!" As soon as he said this, the two Benxiao Pavilion warriors who were about to pounce stopped immediately, and the warrior in the cultivation stage who had already raised his hand, that hand
It also stopped directly in the air.
‘How strong is the background of Duobao Trading Company?’ This question has appeared in Zuo Feng’s mind more than once.
