The distance between Ice Dew Villa and Gusu City was only more than thirty miles. It took the three of them about half an hour, and Gusu City was already in sight.
As he approached the east city gate, Zhuo Mufeng discovered that there were more people entering and exiting the city gate than before, and they were being interrogated by the defenders in a formal manner.
The three people dismounted, lined up at the back of the team honestly, and entered the city with the flow of people.
Once we entered the city, the changes became even more obvious.
From time to time in the city, people can be found in groups of twos and threes, armed with swords and swords. Some gather at small stalls, some sit in teahouses, and some are shopping together.
Several six-door detectives, each leading a team, were patrolling the city, focusing their eyes on the Jianghu people coming and going, with unkind eyes.
This unusual atmosphere made Zhuo Mufeng and the others secretly wonder. Could it be that something big had happened in the city?
Zhuo Mufeng immediately waved to a young policeman. Coincidentally, that policeman was the policeman surnamed Liu who came to report Shang Zirong after he was kidnapped by the son of the superior.
When Detective Liu saw Zhuo Mufeng, a smile appeared on his tense face. He gestured to the people behind him, walked over quickly, held his hands in his hands and said with a smile, "Master Zhuo!"
Zhuo Mufeng couldn't help but be stunned.
Although he and Ling Fei are brothers, and this is Ling Fei's subordinate, he was not so polite in the past. There was no clue on his face, and he smiled and said: "Brother Liu is busy with official duties, why do you have time to go shopping today?"
The detective surnamed Liu smiled bitterly and said: "Master Zhuo, please stop teasing me. It's not these gangsters who are causing trouble. They are restless all day long and are annoying to death."
Zhuo Mufeng raised his eyebrows: "What's going on?"
The detective surnamed Liu looked strange: "Does Mr. Zhuo still not know?"
In his eyes, the person opposite him was the eldest young master of the Sanjiang Alliance. Even if others did not receive the news, they should have known about it in advance.
Zhuo Mufeng: "I have been working outside the city these days and just came back today."
Hearing this, Detective Liu nodded with understanding, looked around, led Zhuo Mufeng and the other three to a secluded corner, and then he chuckled and said, "Master Zhuo is back just in time, let's see what's going on!
"
Zhuo Mufeng and the others became more and more curious and asked urgently what happened.
The agent surnamed Liu explained: "A major event! Just half a month ago, Miao Xiangjun, the third-generation hero of the Miao family in Tongchuan, made an appointment with Tie Yunge, the son of the leader of the Iron-Blood Alliance, in my city of Gusu.
Nuanyang Lake, just three days later.
After the news came out, a large number of people came to Gusu City every day, which led to tense public security in the city. Many families had their property stolen, and some people died unexpectedly. The entire Six Gates were under great pressure."
So that’s it! Only then did Zhuo Mufeng and the other three people suddenly realize that it’s no wonder that so many people from all walks of life flooded into the city.
Even Zhuo Mufeng is no stranger to Miao Xiangjun and Tie Yunge. They are really famous recently.
The former is the leader of the younger generation of the Miao family. He is only 18 years old and has already earned the reputation of "Dragon Soul Nine Breaks" after just a few months of debut.
The most amazing battle was half a month ago, when he defeated Ke Junxia, who was ranked 52nd on the Heroes List and 35th on the Heroes List, with just six moves.
What's even more frightening is that this person is only at the peak of the True Qi Realm, and now ranks 32nd on the elite list. You must know that the top thirty are all Star Bridge Realm warriors.
As for the list of heroes, the new issue has not been released yet, but Miao Xiangjun is definitely on the list.
As for Tie Yunge, known as the "Blood Fierce Iron Hand", he is even more low-key than Miao Xiangjun. He has also just debuted, and is also at the peak of Zhenqi Realm. It is said that he has killed two first-level Star Bridge Realm warriors with one punch. He is known as the same
Invincible with fists and kicks within the territory.
These two people are both regarded as the most promising geniuses in the world by the good guys. Even among the forty-three heroes on the list, they are still dazzling.
What's strange is that I've never heard of any grudge between these two. Is it just a ranking dispute?
Detective Liu shook his head and showed a strange smile: "Master Zhuo doesn't know something. The fight between these two people is not only because of their rankings on the list of heroes, but also because of a woman."
Barong couldn't help but ask: "What woman?"
Detective surnamed Liu: "The third disciple of the owner of Yuhuan Tower, Qiu Rongshang."
As soon as this name came out, Zhuo Mufeng and the others became quiet. This was because the woman represented by this name was more famous than Miao Xiangjun and Tie Yunge combined.
The two of them may be super new stars in the world of the Eastern Zhou Dynasty, but Qiu Rongshang is one of the ten beauties in the world. She is known as the "Rose Diyuetang". It is said that this woman's appearance is enough to make ordinary people look away.
Soul, some people only have a glimpse of it, and their love is deeply rooted and they cannot extricate themselves.
Qiu Rongshang was also the only stunning woman in the entire Eastern Zhou Dynasty who could rival the eldest daughter of the Sanjiang League, Wu Yuanyuan, the "Red Jade Demonic Peony", and the only one among the top ten.
The two geniuses were fighting in Nuanyang Lake for Qiu Rongshang. Zhuo Mufeng could imagine the sensation after the news came out. All three men had strange expressions on their faces. Only Fang Xiaodie snorted and looked unhappy.
Detective Liu showed a smile that only men understand: "It is said that Miao Xiangjun and Qiu Rongshang were traveling around the world, and they happened to be bumped into by Tie Yunge, and they started fighting on the spot. Although they were later dissuaded, neither of them could
No matter who you are dissatisfied with, we will have a fight in three days."
Not only women have gossip mentality, but men also have it. After hearing this, Balong immediately asked: "So, Miao Xiangjun and Qiu Rongshang are having an affair?"
The detective named Liu laughed and shook his head: "I don't know either. Some people say yes, some say no. I guess only the person involved knows the specifics."
Seeing Barong's incomprehensible expression, Fang Xiaodie suddenly narrowed her eyes: "Brother, are you worried? Why, are you afraid that Qiu Rongshang will be picked up?"
Balong was startled, and quickly straightened his expression and scolded: "Junior sister, what are you talking nonsense about? How can Qiu Rongshang do anything to me?"
Fang Xiaodie just kept sneering, with such a cold meaning that even Zhuo Mufeng and Detective Liu felt numb.
The detective surnamed Liu quickly changed the subject and said: "Actually, as Mr. Zhuo, I can ask clearly. I heard that Miao Xiangjun is living in the Wu Mansion now, waiting for the battle in three days."
Zhuo Mufeng suddenly realized that Miao Xiangjun's father and Miao Qingcheng were cousins. According to their seniority, Miao Xiangjun had to call Miao Qingcheng aunt. With this relationship, when he came to Gusu City, he had to go to the Witch Mansion.
.
The old witch asked him to come back as soon as possible. Could it be related to this matter?
While Zhuo Mufeng was thinking about it, several Jianghu people on the street not far away had a verbal conflict. When the police officer named Liu saw this, he quickly complained and rushed over to deal with it.
After knowing everything that needed to be known, Zhuo Mufeng also needed to go to the Witch Mansion, so he said hello to the detective surnamed Liu from a distance, and then left quickly with Barong and Fang Xiaodie.
Some Jianghu guests along the way had strange expressions on their faces when they saw that Zhuo Mufeng and the others had some relationship with Gongmen, and no one was stupid enough to come up and cause trouble.
The Wu Mansion was as calm as ever. When the four guards at the door saw Zhuo Mufeng, they saluted repeatedly. Now who doesn't know that Zhuo Mufeng, the adopted son, is extremely favored by the leader and his wife.
Zhuo Mufeng returned the greeting one by one and led the two people behind him to step in. The servants, maids and even the masters in the house he met along the way took the initiative to greet Zhuo Mufeng.
Seeing this scene, Barong and Fang Xiaodie were stunned for a moment. It seemed that they did not expect that Zhuo Mufeng had such a status in the Sanjiang League, and it was not as simple as just using the name of an adopted son.
The three of them came to the courtyard where Zhuo Mufeng lived to rest. After a while, someone came to invite Zhuo Mufeng to Mei Xueyuan.
Hearing the words "Mei Xueyuan", Zhuo Mufeng sweated a little. He remembered the last close contact with Wu Yuanyuan, and couldn't help but touch his lips. Don't let the old witch find out about the situation and ask him to punish him.
With some doubts, Zhuo Mufeng followed the maid to Mei Xueyuan and walked into a pavilion at the end of the long corridor with hollows on all sides and a bead curtain as the curtain wall.
The maid opened the bead curtain, waited for Zhuo Mufeng to walk in, and then stepped back.
"Mufeng is here."
There were six people sitting in the pavilion. Wu Guanting, a rich and handsome man, was sitting at the head of the table. He was pouring tea for several others. When he saw Zhuo Mufeng, he smiled and showed his graceful demeanor.
Next to him was Miao Qingcheng, who was as delicate as a flower and as white as snow. She also raised her head and looked at Zhuo Mufeng with a smile.
Opposite Miao Qingcheng was an old man with a white beard. Zhuo Mufeng almost laughed. He also knew this person. It was Miao Li, the elder of the Miao family who had contact in Tianfu.
On the left and right sides of Miao Li, there was a young man with good temperament sitting on each side. The young man on the right was talking to Wu Yuanyuan opposite. When he saw Zhuo Mufeng arriving, he couldn't help but look up.
Wu Yuanyuan also heard the noise, and when she found out it was Zhuo Mufeng, she turned her eyes around calmly, then lowered her head and continued talking to the young man opposite, as if she regarded Zhuo Mufeng as nothing.
"Father and mother."
Zhuo Mufeng stood still and held his hands in front of Wu Guanting and Miao Qingcheng. He looked as obedient as he could, which was exactly the type that his elders liked best.
Miao Qingcheng smiled and waved: "Child, come and sit."
Zhuo Mufeng followed his example. He originally wanted to sit next to Miao Qingcheng, but when he found that Wu Yuanyuan would not give up his seat, there happened to be only one seat next to Wu Yuanyuan in the whole pavilion, so he had to sit down.
"Is this Guanting's adopted son? He is indeed a talented person, Yushu Linfeng." Miao Li looked at Zhuo Mufeng for a while and then praised him.
Wu Guanting smiled and introduced Zhuo Mufeng proactively: "Mufeng, this is Elder Miao Li of the Miao family." He then tapped the young men on the left and right with his chin: "This is your elder brother Miao Xiangjun, Miao.
Miao Xiangyu, the third brother of Miao."
Miao Xiangjun?!
Zhuo Mufeng suddenly looked at the young man sitting to the left of Miao Li, who had been as steady as a mountain from beginning to end. He only glanced up after seeing him come in.
This man has a pair of sharp eyebrows and deep eyes. Although his nose bridge is rather large and his lips are slightly thin, he is still handsome, and his whole person exudes an indescribable air of heroism.
Zhuo Mufeng said hello quickly.
Miao Xiangjun finally smiled and nodded, but it didn't make people feel arrogant, as if that was his nature.
Miao Xiangyu on the right is not as handsome as Miao Xiangjun. He has the unique arrogance of a top-ranking disciple. He looks deep into Zhuo Mufeng's eyes with a trace of disdain, but calls him "Brother Zhuo" on his face.
After Zhuo Mufeng arrived, Wu Guanting did not ask about the Ice Dew Villa. Instead, Miao Li politely expressed concern and then chatted with Wu Guanting. Together with Miao Qingcheng, the three elders chatted about some interesting things and forgot about the other four juniors.
On the side.
Miao Xiangjun remained silent, while Miao Xiangyu took the initiative to talk to Wu Yuanyuan, so Zhuo Mufeng was the most bored, and he had to drink cup after cup of tea.
After a while, Wu Guanting smiled and said, "You kids, go out and play."
Why are you just asking me to come back for tea? Zhuo Mufeng was speechless, but he was eager to leave as soon as possible. After he, Wu Yuanyuan and the other three stood up, they each saluted the three elders and then left one after another.
