The city lord has never been a good person, and the respect he shows at this moment is all because of Zuo Feng's own value.
Zuo Feng is naturally aware of these reasons, but he doesn't think it is a bad thing. At least at this stage, he needs someone with a comparable background and strength to stand up and exchange with him.
Su Lan and Yao Zhen, these two people also have such conditions, but if Zuo Feng were to choose, they would definitely be excluded at the first opportunity.
The Su family is centered on Su Lan, and all the affairs in Linshan County are controlled by him. Su Lan's attitude towards Zuo Feng has always remained unchanged, that is, she wants to drive him out of the Xuanwu Empire. As long as Zuo Feng returns one day,
If he wants to stay in the Xuanwu Empire, the conflict between the two cannot be reconciled.
Originally, it was entirely possible for Zuo Feng to establish a relationship with the Su family because of his relationship with Su Yan. But unfortunately, the appearance of Marshal Su Lan completely disrupted Zuo Feng's plan, and even the trace of connection that still existed was lost.
After arriving at Linshan County, there was no trace left.
Yao Zhen is a very scheming person, and he is the kind of person who will do whatever it takes to achieve his goals. What's more, people like him only adhere to certain principles for forces such as the Su family, painters, and the City Lord's Mansion. For a rootless duckweed like Zuo Feng,
It can be said that there is no rule of the game at all. What’s more, in the last competition, the two of them completely formed an incomprehensible knot.
Therefore, even if you exchange something that Yao Zhen is interested in, you will never get better results, and in the end, you may be deceived by the other party.
Therefore, he had the choice of the two paths he had mentioned before in the restaurant. Duobao Pavilion did not take the initiative to contact Zuo Feng during this period, which made Zuo Feng even more afraid to take this path easily.
It wasn't that he was wary, it was just that he guessed that Mr. Zhong probably had his own concerns.
Then the only thing that is saved is the city lord in front of you. He can be said to be a special existence in Linshan County. After being temporarily isolated from the outside world, his city guards have become a special presence in Linshan County.
An unshakable and powerful force.
Therefore, when Chief Tao appeared, he had already decided to temporarily move closer to the City Lord's Mansion. He just wanted to know more about the other party's situation, or to increase some bargaining chips.
It's a pity that Mr. Tao is not an ordinary person. In a few words of conversation, he can get some clues and roughly grasp Zuo Feng's thoughts. So he sat down carelessly and even gave Zuo Feng a meal.
The city lord politely invited Zuo Feng and Hu Hu into Linshan Villa, but this time he did not choose the main hall. After all, there were not many people this time, and it was not convenient for such a few people to go to the main hall to talk.
Moreover, the city lord wanted to talk to Zuo Feng and did not want others to know about it.
After bypassing the huge stone screen that was familiar to Zuo Feng, the city lord led Zuo Feng to the right, which fulfilled his wish. The previous time he came here, Zuo Feng hoped to come here and take a look.
.
According to the mysterious mansion that we first entered, there is a lake and a low mountain on the right side of the entrance. There is a cliff on the edge of the low mountain. Directly below that is the exit from the mysterious mansion. According to Zuo Feng's guess, this place
Linshan Villa has a mysterious connection with the mansion that I first entered, so there might be some important things in the same location.
While the three of them were walking, the city lord kept chatting without saying any substantive issues. Zuo Feng understood that the other party did not want the formal conversation to be heard by others. He did not want his subordinates to know, and he also did not know about Amber.
What role does it belong to?
Knowing the other person's intentions, Zuo Feng was not in a hurry to get to the point of the conversation, and chatted with him until they reached the edge of the low wall on the right.
There is also an arch here, but the arch is not a doorway, but is sealed by two vermilion semicircular gates. Obviously, ordinary people cannot enter this place.
Chief Tao had been following from a distance until everyone came to the door, and then he quickly walked to the door and unlocked it.
Zuo Feng glanced at the other person intentionally or unintentionally. According to this person's cultivation level, maybe he was just an ordinary person in charge of the city lord's palace. But according to his scheming, he could also have the keys to various places in the garden.
, obviously his status was much higher than he thought, so Zuo Feng also paid more attention to it.
After the door opened, the city lord turned around and gave instructions to leave all his men outside the door. Then he looked at Zuo Feng, and finally his eyes fell on Amber. Zuo Feng immediately understood what he meant and turned around.
He nodded towards Amber. Amber originally wanted to say something, but after looking at City Lord Yu, he finally didn't speak.
Zuo Feng knew that the other party was worried about his safety, so he stretched out his hand and patted his shoulder gently, and then followed the city lord towards the inside of the arch.
There is nothing surprising about the scenery inside. The plants are not too tall, but they are very luxuriant. It seems that there are people who often prune it here, so each plant still looks very shapely.
On the path paved with square bricks, with the city lord in front and Zuofeng slightly behind, they walked slowly towards the garden.
"Brother Shen seems to be very interested in my garden. Does he also have a deep understanding of garden architecture? I have seen your erudition before."
The city lord said casually while walking, but Zuo Feng smiled slightly after hearing this. This smile may look very free and easy to others, but he knew in his heart that it was completely a bitter smile. How could he understand the meaning of garden architecture and the reason why it gives people
A feeling of erudition and knowledge, firstly because I have done a lot of research on refining medicine and weapon refining, and because my memory is far superior to that of ordinary people, plus the content of the first competition that night was all related to refining medicine.
It’s just related to the various materials used for refining weapons.
"The scenery of this private garden is very unique. I didn't expect that there is such an elegant place in Linshan County City. The Lord of the City seems to enjoy it very much."
This sounds like a compliment, but it is the only thing Zuo Feng can say. It is impossible to really discuss this garden with the other party, and he can only talk about him.
The city lord shook his head and said with a smile: "How can such a good fortune come? In fact, I don't come to this garden very often. The number of times I come here every year is very limited, so you can also see the place where the second and third competitions are held.
I have been there, and although there are many mysterious powers, they cannot be used by me after all. Each activation requires huge consumption, and even some small aristocratic families cannot afford this price."
Zuo Feng knew that the other party was impatient, and since there were no outsiders present, he would not go straight to the subject in a secretive manner.
Although he was anxious, Zuo Feng was not anxious, but said: "I don't know when this villa was built, and who was the person who built it in the first place? Who can complete such a large project? He will never be an unknown person in the Xuanwu Empire. Even if countless years pass, his descendants should not be silent."
Hearing that Zuo Feng brought the topic to this villa again, without touching the content of the second and third games, the city lord frowned slightly, but then he relaxed and said with a smile.
"Since Brother Shen Feng wants to know, these are not too confidential things, so there is no harm in telling you. However, there are too many of them that cannot be verified and verified, so I cannot guarantee whether they are true or false."
After a short pause, he continued: "This place already existed before the construction of Linshan County, and there are many rumors about its existence. Including the establishment of the empire, plus several super aristocratic families at the time , what we know now are some rumors that were passed down from the beginning.
It is rumored that this Linshan Villa was originally built by a powerful person. Not only did this powerful person reach the pinnacle in refining medicine, he was also unparalleled in the entire continent in refining weapons. It is said that this powerful person built the Villa here. The purpose is to study the method of breakthrough above the god refining stage, but no one knows whether it will be successful in the end."
Having said this, the city lord slowly raised his head and looked at the path ahead. The path split into two in front, and one on the left extended into the dense forest, while the one on the right slowly went up. There was a short mountain here. .
Zuo Feng also noticed the changes ahead, and at the same time he couldn't help but feel a little doubt in his heart. There should be a lake here for the mysterious mansion that he wanted to go to, but why was there a low mountain? The difference was a bit big. .
The city lord chose the road up the mountain on the right, slowly walked up the hillside, and continued: "For some reason, this villa was abandoned here, and eventually became an ownerless thing. Later, the earliest leader of the empire , and the extremely powerful super aristocratic family at that time came here and built Linshan County City here, this should be the origin of this place."
After a slight pause, the city lord said again: "No one knew anything about the great man who originally built this place. However, there were rumors about the descendants you mentioned for a while. But these rumors were finally suppressed. , after all, the Bieyuan Empire will not let it go just based on rumors."
Having said this, the city lord glanced at Zuo Feng with a smile, then pointed to a platform ahead and continued: "Let's sit there."
Seeing Zuo Feng nodding in agreement, he then said: "The so-called descendant is well known in the Xuanwu Empire, but no force can win his favor. This person is extremely mysterious, and no one We know his true origin, but this also makes many people doubt the authenticity of the rumors."
When talking about this person, City Lord You seemed a little excited. Zuo Feng didn't know whether it was City Lord's respect for this person or some other emotion.
After a long pause, the city lord slowly spoke: "That person is the medicine hunchback known as the 'Medicine Maniac'."
"What?"
When he heard this name, even Zuo Feng, who had always remained calm, instantly lost his composure, and the city lord immediately turned his head to look, with doubts in his eyes.
