Four hundred and seventieth chapters strange and conspiracy
"What's wrong with you?" Ai Nian noticed something strange about Chu Feng and asked immediately.
"Jin Kaiyang." He looked in the direction of a certain teahouse. At this time, a familiar figure was sitting in front of the second floor window, sipping tea and observing something on the street.
"What, it's him!" Ai Nian's expression changed, and he immediately buried his whole head into his chest and never dared to move again.
Chu Feng was startled for a moment, then realized. The other party knew Ai Nian's identity. Now that he had broken the collar, if he was discovered, it would most likely cause unnecessary trouble.
"How did he come to Qinglong Pass?"
Chu Feng was deep in thought, and suddenly thought of what Liu Chengfeng said when he was in Jinyue Pavilion that day. Jin Kaiyang's status was extraordinary, so he must have some purpose in leaving Baiyun City.
However, even if there is a purpose, it should be within the limits of Kuangsha City. Why did you end up here?
"Could it be that I was returning to Baiyun City and happened to be passing by."
"It's unlikely." Chu Feng shook his head slightly. According to Liu Chengfeng, it was impossible for the other party to rush to Kuangsha City just to give away some treasures and host an auction. It was too unreasonable.
At the moment we can't figure out the reasons, so we can only wait and see.
At this time, at the other end of the street, the escort team had appeared. Liu Chengfeng was walking at the front, his eyes constantly scanning, obviously looking for Chu Feng's figure.
Chu Feng did not show up immediately, but looked in the direction of the teahouse again. When the escort team appeared, Jin Kaiyang suddenly smiled, with no concealment of joy. The next moment, the other party had already stood up, and less than a moment later, he even
Leave the teahouse and walk deeper into the street.
"That's interesting."
Chu Feng pondered secretly, could it be that the other party came with the escort team on purpose?
"You go back to the escort team first, and I'll follow you to investigate."
"Then...be careful."
Ai Nian was very smart. Why didn't he know the other party's plan? Instead of holding him back, he gave a concerned reminder. After saying that, he walked towards the escort team alone.
Chu Feng did not leave immediately. It was not until the other party and the escort team met and communicated with each other that he nodded to Liu Chengfeng, who was looking up, and then disappeared into the crowd.
…
Qinglong Pass is a pass, and there is also a city in it, but its scale is much smaller than Kuangsha City. Moreover, this is an important military area with strict regulations and does not have such a prosperous commercial atmosphere.
There were only a few pedestrians in the street, so Chu Feng didn't feel crowded when walking among them. His speed was not fast, but he was able to stay close behind.
Jin Kaiyang didn't know all this, so he strode ahead until he reached a remote place before stopping. However, he only stopped for a moment, and then stepped into it.
"Jinfu!"
Chu Feng's eyes were slightly focused. This should be a private residence of Jin Kaiyang. With a simple sweep of his spiritual consciousness, he could see the entire residence clearly. What surprised him was that there were many people inside.
, everyone has a calm aura, obviously they are not ordinary people,
He pondered secretly for a while, and then in the next moment, he saw a quick flash of green light all over his body, and disappeared in the blink of an eye.
…
"Greetings, sir."
"..."
Inside the house, Jin Kaiyang strode forward. Everyone he met looked respectful and took the initiative to salute. He just nodded slightly and didn't respond much. In less than a moment, he had already walked into the back of the house.
This is a spacious martial arts training ground. At this time, the martial arts training ground is already crowded with people, all of whom are hard-working trainers.
"I've met the steward."
A thin man came forward, his expression also extremely respectful.
"How was the training?"
"Fortunately, everything is normal."
"Go on, I'll let someone notify you when I take action."
"Don't worry, sir. I promise that there won't be any problems."
Jin Kaiyang nodded with satisfaction, then stepped forward again, crossing the square and walking towards another area. After a while, he came to a wooden attic.
"Master, you are back." A middle-aged man who looked like a domestic servant walked out of the attic. Seeing his arrival, he took the initiative to step forward and salute.
"Is Mr. Wu awake?"
"I just had my meal, and now I'm still in the secret room."
"Mr. Wu has a different identity. You must serve him wholeheartedly these days. If there is any problem, don't blame me for being ruthless."
"My subordinates must not slack off." When the servant heard this, his body suddenly trembled and he promised.
The attic has two floors and is extremely exquisitely built. At this time, in a secret room underground in the attic, an old man was frowning, seeming to be thinking about something.
With a 'bang', the stone door of the secret room slowly opened, and Jin Kaiyang stepped in. However, seeing the old man acting as if there was no one around and trapped in his own world, he suddenly shook his head helplessly.
There is no way, people like the other party are like this. When they see something novel, they forget to eat and sleep while studying it, and they don't even care about their own health.
He did not immediately disturb the other party. Instead, he walked forward slowly and looked down. On the ground in front of him, a strange liquid was being used to draw strange patterns. Some were ordinary and nothing unusual.
, some are shimmering and extremely mysterious.
"When did you come back?"
At this time, the old man seemed to suddenly come to his senses and immediately noticed the extra figure.
"Just came in." Jin Kaiyang smiled and said,
"Looking at these patterns, I think you have gained a lot, right?"
"That's right." Mr. Wu suddenly became excited and continued,
"You know, this is a brand-new way of arranging formations, which is very different from the inheritance system of formation masters on the mainland. Not only is the arrangement simple, but its efficiency is several times higher. Do you know what this means?
?”
"Can the power of the formation be greatly increased?"
"It's much more than that." The old man shook his head.
"The highest inheritance of formation masters has always been only in the Shangzong. What exists outside is incomplete and its power is naturally limited. For example, the "Seven Star Formation Strategy" that I have mastered only has three volumes, and the subsequent parts are no longer available.
Can’t find it.”
Having said this, the old man couldn't help but sigh, his expression full of regret.
"Mr. Wu, don't worry. This time our operation will be successful. By then, all the so-called formation inheritance will naturally fall into the hands of our Jinyue Pavilion."
"There was no need to be in such a hurry. Who would have thought that Liu Chengfeng would be so greedy that he would sell the 'Eternal Brightness Orb' all the way. If so, wouldn't the secret of the formation within it be leaked out. In order to keep it secret, we secretly
Buying them all, the price paid is really high."
"It doesn't matter. I saw the situation of Yongfeng Escort Team. All the money gained is included in it. After this operation, all the money will be recovered and there will be no loss."
Jin Kaiyang paused and suddenly said,
"A lot of strange things happened during this period, and even Kim couldn't figure it out."
"Are you talking about coming to Kuangsha City?"
"Yeah, I don't understand what happened. That day, I was just out for a trip. Unexpectedly, I accidentally saw the team transporting supplies in the pavilion, and they followed them by accident. You will also see later that I even A six-color order that I worked so hard to get was auctioned off as a lot, this is really..."
At this point, Jin Kaiyang couldn't bear it any longer and showed an expression of annoyance as if he wanted to cry without tears.
"That token is so precious. Even if anyone gets it, it's impossible to give it up. I also tried to persuade you back then, but unfortunately, you insisted on selling it, hey..."
Mr. Wu was also a little helpless. Speaking of which, ever since he saw the other person a few days ago, he always felt that something was wrong. Unfortunately, he couldn't explain the reason.
The other party seemed to be under some kind of spell, and everything he did was without any rules. All of this was not restored until the end of the auction, but it was too late.
This time, I was fully prepared to take action against Yongfeng Escort Agency, also to get the token back.
"Head Liu of the Yongfeng Escort Bureau is no small matter, and the ten elders under him are all powerful. To be honest, if the things were not too precious, I would not agree with such reckless behavior." Mr. Wu sighed, but his expression suddenly became stern. , then said,
"Now that a decision has been made, the action must be clean and neat, and no future troubles can be left behind."
"Don't worry, Mr. Wu, I know it well." Jin Kaiyang nodded solemnly, suddenly thought of something, and said,
"By the way, Concubine Wei is also in the team. Do we want to..."
"What do you think?" Wu Lao Ning glanced at the other party with extremely cold eyes.
…
"Is this the reason?"
At the door of the secret room, Chu Feng had a look of astonishment on his face. Through the conversation between the two, he had roughly grasped the ins and outs of the matter. It turned out that he was really here for the escort team.
He was not worried about this. If he wanted to, he could capture these two people now and nip everything in the bud. However, he did not intend to do so.
The Yongfeng Escort Bureau and the Jinyue Merchant Alliance are both the top forces in the Yunhuang Kingdom. If they form a grudge and fight together, wouldn't they be able to muddy the waters of the Yunhuang Kingdom?
He had promised Wei Ying'er a deal. The more chaotic the situation, the better it would be for him. At that time, all eyes would be drawn away, and his actions would be much easier.
What's more, I still owe Yongfeng Escort a favor, so it would be appropriate to take action later.
These thoughts only went around in his mind and he stopped thinking about it. At this time, he became interested in another thing mentioned by Jin Kaiyang. The reason why the other party entered Kuangsha City and then sold the Six-Color Token was behind It does sound a bit incredible that there is such a cause and effect.
"Someone is controlling my mind, but it didn't look like it that day."
Chu Feng pondered in his heart, unless the person who took action was extremely skilled, otherwise, if a strong-willed master like Jin Kaiyang was controlled, his mind would always appear unnatural.
Moreover, what is the purpose of the other party doing this? Is it possible that it is just to let him host an auction and auction off the Six Color Token?
"By the way, the Six-Color Token is in my hands. Could it be that you are coming after me?"
Thoughts surged in my mind, constantly guessing at various possibilities.
At this moment, a sound of footsteps suddenly came from outside, instantly interrupting his meditation. His heart suddenly moved, turned into a ray of blue light, and disappeared in the blink of an eye.
…
"What exactly is Mr. Chu going to do?"
Somewhere in the city, Liu Chengfeng waited for a long time, and couldn't help but feel a little anxious. Qinglong Pass is an important military area, and the various rules and regulations there are extremely strict. There are many inconveniences in staying here. Therefore, he replenished supplies as soon as possible and planned to set off immediately.
.Unfortunately, Chu Feng has not come back yet.
"Don't worry, Mr. Liu, my young master will be fine." Ai Nian did not answer the other party, only said perfunctorily.
"Did you say when you would be back?" Liu Chengfeng heard the other party's intention to keep it secret and didn't care. He just changed the question.
"It should be soon." Ai Nian was not sure about this, so he could only speak vaguely again.
"..."
Liu Chengfeng was a little speechless. He had no choice but to stand there and wait for Chu Feng to return.
Fortunately, he didn't have to wait too long. After just a few cups of tea, he finally saw the other person again.
"I've met Mr. Chu, everything went well?" Liu Chengfeng took the lead and said hello.
"Fortunately, how are the supplies being replenished?"
Looking at the escort team members who were still gathered together, Chu Feng asked. He once heard Liu Chengfeng say that he would not stop at Qinglong Pass.
"Everything is ready, just waiting for the news from the young master."
"It's true that I delayed everyone. So, let's leave the city as soon as possible." Chu Feng said with a smile.
"How dare you blame the young master?"
Liu Chengfeng quickly saluted, then issued an order and led the team outside the city.
The city is not large, and soon the team has left the city. Different from the previous journey, at this time, you can already see where the official road is. Although it is in disrepair, it is still more convenient to walk than the previous path.
.
"There is a Lin family village on Cangmu Ridge, thirty miles ahead. The owner of the village is one of our own and can be trusted. We will rest there tonight."
"Linjiazhai, bandits?"
"That's right." Liu Chengfeng did not deny it, but explained,
"However, Lin Letian, the leader of Linjiazhai Village, originally came from the Yongfeng Escort Bureau. Later, due to some special reasons, he left alone and came here to occupy the mountain and become the king."
After a pause, he suddenly whispered again,
"Lin Letian has another identity. He is a close disciple of his master. He is extremely talented and could have done something great. Unfortunately, he offended someone because of his personality and ended up here."
"It seems that there is not a harmonious atmosphere in Yongfeng Escort Agency."
"It's true. Wherever there are people, there will be fights, not to mention the power of the Escort Bureau." Liu Chengfeng seemed to be a little impressed and said,
"In fact, if the leader hadn't emerged from nowhere and single-handedly ranked among the top ten masters in Yunhuang Country, the Escort Bureau would not have developed to its current status."
"The top ten masters of Yunhuang? How do your strengths compare with them?" Chu Feng felt a little interested.
"The so-called top ten masters of Yunhuang are actually the top ten masters of the entire Western Continent. Almost all large-scale forces have their headquarters in Yunhuang Kingdom..." Liu Chengfeng briefly introduced these large-scale forces. Of course,
, are all just secular forces, excluding Shangzong.
"In addition to the head of the Yongfeng Escort Agency, there are also the left and right guardians and ten elders. After that, I am. As the chief escort, I am okay in the Escort Agency, but I am not ranked at all in the mainland, let alone
