"Hey, that person seems to be Zhao Feng, the master of Poseidon Temple? It's strange, isn't it said that he is dead?" A disciple of Shengwu Hall found traces of Zhao Feng.
Discovering Zhao Feng's disciple, he hurriedly went to find other companions: "Senior Brother Lin, did I see Palace Master Zhao just now?"
"Palace Master Zhao? Are you serious? Have you really seen him? The higher-ups have investigated and found out that he has disappeared? And there are recent rumors that he is dead."
"Of course it's true. Junior Brother is not wrong. Back in Poseidon Temple, Zhao Feng fought with Senior Brother Huo Ying and Senior Brother Gao Feng and frightened away the little witch Li Xuan. Junior Brother was not the only one who saw this."
Senior Brother Lin called out his close friends and told the others what had happened:
"Everyone, this matter is related to the senior brothers and sisters who are vying for the position of the palace master. We are of low strength, so we should not join in the fun. If we get involved, our lives may be at risk!"
"Brother, it's not that exaggerated!" Some disciples didn't take it seriously.
"We don't know what Palace Master Zhao does or does as a person, but the little witch Li Xuan and Sima Yanran got here first. Everyone knows what their nature is like!"
Zhao Feng left the lava lake and deliberately let some people see his profile without saying hello to anyone. As a result, many people saw him, and various rumors spread.
"Junior brother Yu, let's just pretend to be dumbfounded about this matter. We don't have any great foundation or background. We'd better not get involved in the matter of those powerful senior brothers and sisters. I'm on the wrong team. I'll give you some shoes.
They are all good, it is unlucky to be tricked to death."
"Senior brother, this is a lesson!"
A group of yellow-clothed disciples met several familiar Shengwutang disciples. One of them, led by the yellow-clothed disciple, said:
"Senior Brother Zhong, there is a lot of excitement in your Shengwu Hall this time. How about you bring your junior brother to our Medicine Hall?"
"Junior Brother Ma, do you want to be so gloating about misfortune? Shengwu Hall is in trouble, and your Medicine Hall will also be involved, what do you think?"
The disciple surnamed Ma was just joking casually, but now he angered the disciples of Shengwu Hall and apologized hastily:
"Senior Brother Zhong, I'm just joking, I'm sorry. But Senior Brother Zhong is better to be careful."
Junior Brother Ma pulled Senior Brother Zhong to the side and whispered: "It is said that the Sima clan's people are here. Senior Brother Zhong, please don't push forward at this time. Let's wait and see!"
This senior brother Zhong from the Shengwu Hall is the junior brother of the senior brother Huo Ying who went to the Martial Palace. The two have a very good relationship.
Huo Ying got to know Zuo Mengdao because of Zhao Feng, and thus got a lot of benefits. Before setting off, Huo Ying asked his junior brother Zhong Weidao to protect Zhao Feng's status.
Therefore, this time, Zhong Weidao was one of the few disciples who supported Zhao Feng as the palace master.
After all, Zhao Feng's time in Shengwu Hall was still short and he had no foundation at all. It would be strange if all the disciples supported him, who had only been the hall master for a few days.
"Thank you, Junior Brother Ma. The situation is unclear at the moment. As a disciple of the Medicine Hall, are you willing to bring your junior brothers and sisters to cooperate with us?"
"Okay, anyway, it's hard work and there are dangers. In your Holy Martial Hall, our Medicine Hall is only responsible for running away!"
"You!" Senior Brother Zhong looked helplessly at the very stinky Junior Brother Ma. If it weren't for the storm coming to the Shengwu Hall, he really wouldn't want to hang out with the Medicine Hall, especially this Junior Brother Ma who can talk about the dead.
When the rumors became widespread, Zhao Feng had already left the lava lake area and headed south.
However, Li Xuan and Sima Yanran were cunning, but they did not expect that the elders of the Sima family came here secretly, and some people who came specifically to find Zhao Feng's whereabouts also came here. Things became more and more interesting, but there was no
People can only foresee the final result.
Back then, Zhao Feng burned down the vast forest south of Jinshan Mountain with a fire. Now, it has become a thoroughfare from Heishui City and Mengcheng to Jinshan Fort.
On the same day, Zou Jing personally commanded 100,000 cavalry and headed straight for Jinshan Fort. As a guard at the northern border of the Yan Kingdom, Zou Jing had already heard that the demon clan of Jinshan Fort maliciously captured humans as slaves and engaged in gold mining.
things.
"Zou Zhenshou, we plan to go to the front and go directly to the Martial Palace to have a look!" Xu Huang rode on his horse and walked side by side with Zou Jing.
Zou Jing raised his brows and said from the bottom of his heart that he did not approve of Xu Huang and the others going to the Martial Arts Palace. The fact that Zhao Feng had not come back for a long time already explained the problem, but he didn't know how to stop them.
"That's fine. I'll go with you here. Maybe the guys from the Martial Palace will give Zou some face."
Zou Jing had no confidence at all when he said this. Why should the Wudou Palace give him this honor? Even the emperor of the Yan Kingdom had no right to speak in front of the Wudou Palace.
"No need, Zou Zhenshou, you still have military affairs to be busy with, especially in the Jinshan Fort area. There are still a large number of slaves that you need to rescue!" Lu Su interrupted.
Zou Jing was not a person who would change his mind easily. He waved his hand on the horse and the personal captain rode up.
"What orders do the guards have?"
"Order the entire army to set up camp outside the Martial Palace station!"
"As you command!"
Xu Huang, Lu Su, and Cai Yan admired Zou Jing's decisiveness, but they didn't want to drag Zou Jing into it.
Zhao Feng saw an army from the Yan Kingdom in the distance and hurriedly stopped.
"Hey, it seems to be Brother Zou's army. Why did they change their route to go to the Martial Arts Palace?" Zhao Feng thought for a moment and originally planned to follow, blend in with Zou Jing's army, and go to the Martial Arts Palace together.
Suddenly, he changed his mind: "My Flame God Technique is still a bit weak, and besides, there are also Brother Pang Ming's enemies at Jinshan Castle."
Thinking of this, Zhao Feng quickened his pace and soon arrived in front of the forward of Zou Jing's army.
The one who served as the vanguard was Feiyun Cavalry, and the one responsible for commanding this cavalry was Captain Yan, who had a relationship with Zhao Feng.
"There's Captain Yan in front of us!" Zhao Feng shouted loudly before the other party could alert him.
"The whole army has stopped advancing. No bows or arrows are allowed to be fired without the command of this captain!"
Captain Yan rode alone and quickly came to Zhao Feng. The moment he saw Zhao Feng, Captain Yan finally felt relieved.
"Sir, please come back and be safe. Zou Zhenshou has personally led his troops to find you!"
"Thank you, Lieutenant Yan. This is not the place to talk. I will wait on the way to Jinshan Fort and ask Captain Yan to inform Zou Zhenshou and my brother!"
"Yes!" Lieutenant Yan surrendered on his horse and left. Knowing the relationship between Zhao Feng and Zou Zhenshou, he did not dare to neglect at all. He ordered the deputy general to lead the forwards to postpone their advance, and he rode straight to the Chinese army alone.
"Guard, good news, Mr. Zhao has returned safely!"
Zou Jing, Xu Huang, Lu Su and Cai Yan were very happy when they heard the news brought back by Captain Yan.
"Where is Brother Zhao?" Zou Jing asked eagerly.
"Mr. Zhao said he was waiting on the way to Jinshan Fort!" Captain Yan replied.
"Captain Yan, immediately go to the Jinshan Fort area to investigate the latest trends of the demon clan before ordering!"
"Yes!" Captain Yan took the order and left.
Xu Huang raised his hand to Zou Jingyi: "Zou Zhenshou, please inform the lord that Xu Huang went to the Martial Palace to inquire about the news."
After Xu Huang finished speaking, he rode away. Lu Su and Cai Yan silently watched Xu Huang leave. They wanted to follow, but were afraid of becoming Xu Huang's burden, so they had to follow Zou Jing to meet Zhao Feng.
"You two don't have to be like this. Xu Huang is a careful person and will definitely be fine. In addition, the Martial Arts Palace will not intervene in the disputes between the Yan Kingdom and the Monster Clan. Instead, it regularly recruits local disciples. Therefore, Xu Huang's visit there will be futile at best.
return!"
Zou Jing's words made Lu Su and Cai Yan feel at ease. Zou Jing led almost all cavalry this time and marched very fast. In less than half an hour, they arrived at the place agreed upon by Zhao Feng and Zou Jing.
Zou Jing governed the army with strict military discipline and did not dare to leak the news without authorization. Only Yan Duwei, Zou Jing, Lu Su, Cai Yan, and Xu Huang knew about Zhao Feng's return.
When the three of them saw Zhao Feng, Zhao Feng was dressed like an ordinary person, and he looked completely different.
"Who is your honor?" Zou Jing was confused when he saw Zhao Feng. On the side, Lu Su and Cai Yan were secretly on guard.
Zhao Feng smiled, stretched out his hand and wiped his face, returning to his original appearance. Lu Su happily rushed over and shouted:
"Brother, I finally see you. Everyone is worried about you!"
"Brother, worthy brother, Zhao Ji, I'd like to thank you all for your concern."
Zhao Feng looked to the west and asked, "Brother Xu went to the Martial Arts Palace?"
Lu Su replied: "Brother Xu went alone."
"That's good. When Brother Xu comes back, the matter at Jinshan Fort should come to an end."
Zou Jing wanted to know where Zhao Feng had been these days, but Zhao Feng had no intention of mentioning it, so he naturally wouldn't take the initiative to ask.
"Brother, please follow me to the military camp so that everyone can be taken care of!"
"Okay! But you and I have to pretend that we are strangers to each other. We just met each other by chance!"
After Zhao Feng finished speaking, his appearance changed again, and it was different from the way the three of them saw him just now. When the three of them saw this, they were filled with admiration.
From the east of the Wudou Palace area, the road to Jinshan Fort was inaccessible, covering more than 200 miles. Zou Jing was unwilling to travel day and night, so on the morning of the third day, the army arrived at the foot of Lion's Head Ridge where Jinshan Fort was located.
According to Captain Yan's report, Zou Jing has learned that the demon clan has recently strengthened its defenses and built a lot of new stone walls. There are many guard towers on the stone walls, and a large number of archers have been stationed among them.
Yesterday at noon, Zhao Feng brought out Pang Ming, who had mostly recovered from his injuries. Xue Hui followed closely to accompany Pang Ming.
"Brother Pang Pang, how do you feel?"
"It's much better. Staying in the car these days has been very boring. It's much better to go out for a walk!"
Zhao Feng is familiar with Pang Ming's personality. This guy is a workaholic. He likes to study when he has nothing to do. He doesn't talk much and is slovenly. He can stay silent all day long.
"Brother Pang Pang, and this lady-in-law, please take the time to help me research the Monster Tavern and the car. I hope to combine them into one."
"That's very simple, but my plan is to transform the tank into a mobile war fortress. At present, I have figured out most of the keys, only the driving device is missing."
Pang Mingzheng was talking when he suddenly saw a very large car in Zou Jing's army, and his eyes suddenly lit up:
"Hui'er, that's the war puppet we've been looking for!"
