Chapter 2236: Seizing the Wood
Although these warriors belonging to Fengcheng are subordinate to Zuo Fengjian, Zuo Feng never puts himself above others as the city lord, and treats each other completely like brothers.
These days, Shuzai has also observed Tang Bin, Ikari and Zuo Fengjian's relationship from the side. It can be said that he has never seen that kind of relationship before, and he has never dared to imagine it, and it is what he has always longed for in his heart.
Now that the Nether Sea has been resolved, 99% of the Nether Beasts in the southern part of Xuanwu have been killed, and it can be said that there is no trouble left. Shuzai has finally made up his mind that the Lin family will completely abandon him, and he has decided to sever ties with the Lin family forever.
Just like what Zuo Feng talked to him at the beginning, he lived for the family for more than 20 years before, and the family's cultivation of him was enough to repay it with one life. Now his life is given by Zuo Feng again. In the future, he will live for the new self and is willing to repay Zuo Feng's love with his life.
According to his understanding of Zuo Feng, the other party would never do such shameless behavior as the Lin family, but Shu Zai secretly made up his mind that even if the other party really abandoned him one day, at most he would return his life to the other party.
The two of them clapped their hands three times, which was considered to be the completion of their oath. Some people who knew Shu Zai, such as Tang Bin and Ikari, showed unconcealed joy on their faces. These people knew Shu Zai's strength and talent very well, and were very satisfied with his character and personality, so they were very happy to have Shu Zai join them.
Looking at Shu Zai with a smile, Zuo Feng smiled and said: "Since you have become a person of my Fengcheng, I..."
Duan Yueyao, who had been observing silently beside him, seemed to be thinking about something. At this moment, when Zuo Feng spoke, she raised her eyebrows and suddenly continued: "Yes, Shu Zai surrendered to the Lord of Fengcheng today, at least give him a position."
He was slightly stunned. If someone else suddenly interrupted him, Zuo Feng might still feel a little uncomfortable, but now it was Duan Yueyao who interrupted him. Zuo Feng was not dissatisfied at all. Instead, he looked at the other party in surprise, and was puzzled and thinking secretly.
Duan Yueyao gently raised her delicate jade hand, gently gathered a strand of hair on her temples, and with this unintentional little action, she turned her head and glanced at the side seemingly unintentionally.
Zuo Feng was so smart that he quietly turned his eyes and found that the direction Duan Yueyao was looking at was a large group of his men led by Li Lei and Li Xiao.
He found that a large group of people over there were staring at him eagerly at this time, and Zuo Feng immediately understood it.
Just now, he wanted to help Shu Zai transform his body and improve his strength. In fact, when he rescued Shu Zai, he had already used the domineering Nether Beast Blood Essence, so it was imperative for him to transform himself.
But after Duan Yueyao reminded him, Zuo Feng suddenly realized that he had overlooked the word "balance". In fact, it was not that Zuo Feng deliberately ignored it, but that he had never considered such a problem in his mind.
For Duan Yueyao, who grew up in an aristocratic family, she has been exposed to too many methods of elders in the tribe to rule their subordinates. Zuo Feng has lived in Zuojia Village since he was a child. That place is almost a primitive tribe, so there are no such things.
Now Zuo Feng's identity has changed fundamentally. He not only has Fengcheng as his foundation, but also has a group of subordinates. Although Zuo Feng can treat his subordinates with sincerity, sometimes conflicts often arise inadvertently.
These people in front of him have all followed Fengcheng wholeheartedly since its establishment, and they are also Zuo Feng's most direct team. These people gave up their original power and followed Zuo Feng to take risks. They survived and got the great benefit of body transformation.
Now these people don't know Shuzai at all, let alone what happened in Kuocheng. They just saw that Shuzai chose to follow Zuo Feng and had to obtain the qualification to transform his body. I am afraid that anyone else would feel unfair.
Zuo Feng was a smart man. He didn't think of it before. Now Duan Yueyao reminded him a little, and he immediately figured out the joints. With a slight turn of his eyes, Zuo Feng had an idea and said with a smile.
"Brother Shuzai has now completely gotten rid of his original identity and is a member of our Fengcheng from today. If what you just said about the situation of the Lin family in Guanmen City is proven to be correct, it will be your contribution."
After a slight pause, Zuo Feng continued: "In addition to Guanmen City, there is another hidden danger in the southern part of Xuanwu, which must be eliminated at the moment. I think you can guess that the place is Tunmu Village, and I think you should know something about the situation there.
Now we really need information from there. As long as we can completely eliminate the troubles in Guanmen City and Tunmu Village, I will definitely respond to your contribution."
Hearing Zuo Feng's words, Shuzai's face became serious and he said in a deep voice: "The city lord may have misunderstood. You should know my character. I will never do anything for the sake of gaining benefits..."
Shuzai didn't finish his words because he saw Zuo Feng in front of him, as if his face was cramping, the corner of his eye on the right side kept shaking, and then the corner of his mouth moved together, and that look was as funny as it could be.
But now Shu Zai couldn't laugh at all, because he knew Zuo Feng's character very well, and that look was clearly a sign to him, so naturally he couldn't continue talking.
Shu Zai looked very rough, but he was very thoughtful. He calmed down and thought about it for a while, and immediately understood what Zuo Feng meant.
Thinking of these, Shuzai secretly regretted that he was too impulsive just now and spoke without knowing Zuo Feng's intention. Now that he knew he had misunderstood, he had to find a way to turn around.
Scratching his head awkwardly, Shuzai's old face blushed and he said, "And, and being able to join Fengcheng, uh, is exactly what I have been working hard to practice. If I want to continue on the path of practice, following Fengcheng Lord is undoubtedly the best choice. From now on, I will follow Fengcheng Lord together."
Speaking of this, Shuzai also felt a sour stomach and bitterness in his mouth. He was not good at such hypocritical words, but it was all because of his previous vows. Now he could only talk nonsense like this.
Seeing Shuzai like this, Zuo Feng laughed in his heart, but it seemed that it was almost done, so he quickly gave him a look.
While heaving a sigh of relief, Shu Zai said solemnly: "The foundation of Tuanmu Village was planted a hundred years ago, but at that time it was just a hidden chess piece buried by the Lin family. Because the only place that the Lin family could not intervene at that time was the southern part of Xuanwu, so this hidden chess piece was not without the plan to covet the southern part of Xuanwu at that time.
But later the Lin family decided to hide completely. Other places of the family were too conspicuous, but Tuanmu Village was not conspicuous. So the family sent the branch Mu family to station there."
Nodding, this was consistent with some of the situations Zuo Feng had heard. Tuanmu Village began to grow slowly decades ago, and it seemed that it was from that time that the Mu family began to invest in the operation of Tuanmu Village.
However, hearing this, Zuo Feng's face became gloomy instead, and there was a trace of worry in his eyes. Shuzai immediately understood Zuo Feng's idea, so he immediately said: "Originally, Tunmu Village was indeed strong, but because of the plot to seize Kuo City, the elders of the Lin family finally decided to let the Shu family take the lead, so most of the strong men in Tunmu Village have been transferred first."
Hearing what Shuzai said, Zuo Feng's eyes lit up slightly. Thinking carefully, given the Lin family's style of doing things, this is extremely reasonable. After all, the Lin family still favors the Shu family. Even though Tunmu Village has been operating in the southern part of Xuanwu for a long time and is the most suitable place to take action, in the end, the matter was still handed over to the big shopkeeper of the Shu family.
Zuo Feng could only secretly call it luck. The situation in Kuo City was precisely because of the cooperation between the Lin family and the Nether Beast that Kuo City almost fell into the hands of the Nether Beast, and he and his men almost died.
After a slight hesitation, Zuo Feng asked, "What is the current situation of Tunmu Village? What kind of combat power does it have now?"
After reorganizing the information in his mind, Shu Zai said, "There are about 200 warriors. Because the Shu family is ready to take action at any time, the old, weak, women and children have already withdrawn. Now the only ones left are warriors."
Seeing Zuo Feng's face sank, Shu Zai immediately continued, "Among the more than 200 people, more than half are not in the Qi Sensing Stage, and the strongest one has only a strong man in the middle stage of Qi Cultivation. With the strength of Fengcheng, even if it is a head-on collision, there is a certainty of victory."
At this point, Shu Zai's face turned red, and he continued, "But I can let our people dress up as the Shu family of the Lin family, and sneak into Kuocheng under the pretext of an incident in Kuocheng and urgently seeking help. Under a sudden attack, the losses will definitely be minimized."
Originally, Zuo Feng was a little worried. After all, fighting with a small number of people would be a disadvantage. With Shu Zai's method to lead people to infiltrate the interior and then bloom from the center, the situation will definitely be different.
Zuo Feng had no more objections. He asked Tang Bin and Ikari to discuss the change of disguise and the excuse with Shuzai alone, and he took Li Lei, Li Xiao and others to the side.
Zuo Feng gathered his spiritual energy at his fingertips and gently carved in front of everyone. A large group of Fengcheng warriors gathered around. Although they didn't know what their city lord was doing, everyone was expecting.
Zuo Feng carved it first, and then began to explain it seriously. The formation is a method of forming a formation with teams, launching attacks and defenses with teamwork, and greatly increasing the combat power of the group.
This combination of formations came from Yin Yue, or more accurately, from the Yue Sect in Mingyao Sect. Li Lei and others had never seen this method, but after Zuo Feng, a great expert in formations, explained it personally, everyone understood it in half an hour.
Then they practiced on the spot again, and Zuo Feng observed and gave instructions from the side. In less than an hour, they were able to perform it in a decent manner.
