Chapter 2662: Harvest of the Exploration

In the evening, Zuo Zai and Amber returned to the guest room with tired faces, each holding a food box in their hands.

After all, they were going out for a "hangout" as an excuse, so of course they had to bring something back to be normal. The last place the two of them went to was Yixianglou. They ordered twelve dishes and packed them in food boxes and brought them back. In this way, they were able to complete the show.

The four of them sat around the table, and Zuo Feng no longer pretended to be sick and lay on the bed. The people who sent Amber and Zuo Zai back before saw Zuo Feng's situation. Obviously, this was the result that Zuo Feng deliberately wanted the other party to see. Everyone could guess that Zuo Feng had a purpose, but they didn't rush to ask questions.

After confirming that there was no one around, Zuo Feng made a gesture to let everyone rest assured, and said softly: "You two are going well today. How are you doing in investigating the situation in the Acropolis?"

During the meal, Amber and Zuo Zai exchanged glances, as if they were deciding who would explain. Finally, Zuo Zai twisted his face and went about greeting the dishes in front of him.

Seeing the other party's actions, Amber also smiled lightly and said: "The two of us have hardly eaten anything for a day. We spent all our time wandering around the city. Let him eat first, and I will tell you what I know. , let him add the rest."

"It's just you who is naughty." Zuo Zai muttered vaguely with food in his mouth.

Glancing at it with a smile, Amber immediately replied, "I asked you to say it but you refused, so let me say it first and you can just say that I am slippery. I just missed two places. You can't blame us for this." "

Zuo Feng could sense a sincere friendship from the two of them teasing each other. This is different from the first time I met Zuo Zai in the old district of Kuocheng City. Although he, Shu Kun and Shu Suo seemed to be on good terms at that time, in fact there were even irresolvable conflicts and irreparable rifts between them.

Zuo Zai obviously didn't really blame Amber. He rolled his eyes and went back to eating. On the contrary, Zuo Feng's interest was aroused and he asked: "What place was missed? Why are there missing places? Did you not notice it at the time?"

Amber shook his head, raised the wine at hand and took a small sip. Nifeng, the lowest cultivation among them, has also reached the late stage of Qi sensing. Not to mention drinking a few glasses, even drinking a few jars will have no problem. .

In the process of drinking, Nifeng seemed to be just sorting out his thoughts, and then he slowly said: "Actually, it's not an omission. Among the several important locations in our original idea, there were two places when we went there in the morning. I was stopped. After some discussion, I decided to come back in the afternoon to look for opportunities, but when I returned in the evening, there was still no chance."

"Which two places?" Zuo Feng asked as he poured another small cup for Amber.

"Of these two places, one is the city lord's palace located in the central area, and the other is the sacrificial branch hall established by the empire here."

After a slight pause, and seeing Zuo Feng staring at him, Amber continued: "The city lord's palace is very tightly guarded. I'm afraid the county governor's palace is not as good as that. There is another sacrificial branch hall. , even more exaggerated than the city lord's palace. Not only is the external defense tight, but the fluctuations in the formation that can be felt are also comparable to the city defense formation in the inner city. "

Although Zuo Feng was born and raised in Ye Lin, he grew up in a mountain village. He was originally not very clear about the matters at the top of the Ye Lin Empire, especially the Sacrifice Hall, the highest level organization in the Ye Lin Empire. He only learned about it recently. Some.

To be able to become the largest ruling body of the Ye Lin Empire, with a powerful combat power like Benxiao Pavilion, and the presence of peak powerhouses such as the Chief Priest and the Four Great Priests, the strength of its strength is absolutely inestimable.

Judging from these, it seems very reasonable that the sacrificial branch of the acropolis has a strong guard force and a powerful defense formation. It seems that Amber and Zuo Zai have gained nothing in this sacrificial branch hall, which is reasonable.

But looking back at Jiang Xin, it seemed a bit abnormal that the City Lord's Mansion had such defensive power. Zuo Feng doesn't know much about the city lord Jiang Xin now. He only knows that the other party's status was not very high at the beginning. Now he has become the lord of a city in a place like New Kari County and has powerful power in his hands. This is a bit intriguing. .

"I have an intuition that this Jiang Xin may not be simple. Unfortunately, I don't have much time and energy to dig out this guy's situation. Otherwise, he may become an important chess piece for me."

This was the conclusion Zuo Feng came to after analyzing the information in front of him. Just after he finished speaking, Zuo Zai immediately said: "I think so too. In fact, we still have to go out to investigate. Jiang Xin We will also pay more attention to it.”

Zuo Feng knew that if someone like Jiang Xin really had a powerful identity and background, he would do his best to cover it up and conceal it. However, he had no intention of stopping Zuo Zai. After all, Acropolis currently had too little power to draw on. If he gained something, wouldn't he have a lot more chips in his hands?

"Well, where else did you go?" Zuo Feng asked softly while picking up a mouthful of food and putting it in his mouth.

"City Guards Station!" Amber said three words calmly and calmly,

Suddenly hearing these three words, Zuo Feng almost spit out the wine he had just drunk. He swallowed it back subconsciously, but it choked his throat. This wine is of good quality and has a strong spicy smell.

After a violent cough, Zuo Feng said helplessly: "You are too direct, aren't you going to the city guard station to find out the situation?"

In response to Zuo Feng's question, Amber nodded seriously and as a matter of course.

"Of course it's the city guard station. If you want to understand the defense of a city, I'm afraid there is no more direct way to understand it in the city guard station. And didn't you say that you have to be straightforward to understand the defense of the city, otherwise they will think we are acting."

Looking at the other party's serious expression, Zuo Feng felt a sense of laughter and tears, but he did say that before, and it's really hard to turn around and accuse Amber of anything wrong now.

"What have you found out?" Zuo Feng no longer wanted to worry about whether Amber's behavior would make the other party think that she was just acting or that was her real purpose.

After a brief pause, Amber said, "The defense of the city is very complete. Even before the warriors from Benxiao Pavilion came, they had about 400 warriors stationed in the guard post. If the warriors on rotation are included, the number would probably increase by 100 to 200.

The warriors are quite strong, generally in the early to middle stages of the Qi Sensing Stage. The late and peak stages of the Qi Sensing Stage are the most powerful in the team, about 40 people."

Nodding, Zuo Feng already had a general understanding of the combat power of the city guards, and then turned around and said, "Benxiao Pavilion How is it over there? From what we saw when we entered the city, they should have joined the city guards. "

Hearing "Benxiao Pavilion", Amber's expression instantly darkened, and she said at the same time: "Benxiao Pavilion's strength is far beyond imagination. Originally, we only knew that those who went to Licheng at the beginning, it turned out that Wu Tian had two young pavilion masters under him. When he went to Licheng at the beginning, he didn't even send out half of the fighting force of Yu Pavilion. "

After hearing about the situation of Benxiao Pavilion, Zuo Feng's heart sank, because his main enemy now was precisely Benxiao Pavilion. Now in this Weicheng, Benxiao Pavilion still has such a strong fighting force, which is indeed beyond his imagination, and the situation is much more serious than he estimated before entering the city.

Amber paused for a while, letting Zuo Feng digest the information just now, and when Zuo Feng started eating again, he continued to introduce.

There is good news at the moment, that is, Jiang Xin and Benxiao Pavilion do have conflicts. They have been arguing about whether the defense of the city is the responsibility of Benxiao Pavilion or his city guards.

At present, Jiang Xin has an order from the state lord Ye Shan to all the city lords, "The defense of the city must be controlled by the city lord". With this, Wu Tian and others from Benxiao Pavilion are not in a position to take over directly with tough measures, so the warriors of Benxiao Pavilion can only stay in the city, and the defense of the city gates and walls is still in the hands of Jiang Xin.

Zuo Feng understands the good news that Amber is referring to, that is, Jiang Xin is much easier to deal with than Benxiao Pavilion, but Zuo Feng does not think so. The two sides are fighting fiercely behind closed doors, after all, they are all internal conflicts. Once he emerges, both sides are likely to point the spearhead at him.

After thinking about this, Zuo Feng was unwilling to continue to dwell on this issue, and continued to ask: "In addition to these, have you made any other discoveries?"

Amber seemed to be very excited about Zuo Feng's question, and immediately said: "I don't know much about the formation, but when we checked along the Acropolis, we found that in addition to the two gates of the East Gate and the West Gate in the inner city, there are other passages in the north and south directions."

"Passage? Isn't it a gate?" Zuo Feng was a little puzzled by Amber's statement.

Amber glanced at the food in front of Zuo Feng, with a sly smile, and said: "This situation is a bit special. Do you think I should say it or not?"

"Are you full? Say it quickly if you have anything." Zuo Feng glared fiercely, stuffing food into his mouth, while urging.

Zuo Zai on the other side frowned and put down the food. Amber smiled faintly and said, "The passages on the north and south sides are usually not used by people. They are mainly used to transport the yellow and white things excreted in the inner city out of the city. Because the smell is too irritating, it will not be transported out from the east and west gates."

"Puff"

The previous mouthful of wine was swallowed with difficulty. This time, Zuo Feng really couldn't control himself. The rice and vegetables that he had just chewed were sprayed all over Amber's head and face.
