Chapter 780: The Mighty One

The city lord has never been considered a good man, and the respect he showed at this moment was all because of the value of Zuo Feng himself.

Zuo Feng naturally understood these principles, but he did not think it was a bad thing. At least at this stage, he needed someone with a background and strength to stand up and exchange with him.

Su Lan and Yao Zhen, these two people also have such conditions, but if Zuo Feng were to choose, they would definitely be excluded at the first time.

The Su family is centered on Su Lan, and all the affairs of Linshan County City are controlled by him. Su Lan's attitude towards Zuo Feng has always remained unchanged, that is, she wants to drive him out of the Xuanwu Empire. As long as Zuo Feng wants to stay in the Xuanwu Empire one day, the contradiction between the two cannot be reconciled.

Originally, Zuo Feng had a chance to establish a connection with the Su family because of his relationship with Su Yan. But unfortunately, the appearance of Marshal Su Lan completely disrupted Zuo Feng's plan, and even the trace of connection that existed originally disappeared after he came to Linshan County City.

Yao Zhen is a man with a lot of scheming, and he is the kind of person who will do anything to achieve his goals. Moreover, he only adheres to certain principles for forces such as the Su family, painters, and the City Lord's Mansion. He does not follow the rules of the game for a rootless duckweed like Zuo Feng. Moreover, the two of them had a deadlock in the last match.

So even if he exchanged for something that Yao Zhen was interested in, he would never get a better result, and he might be cheated by the other party in the end.

Therefore, he had the choice of two roads mentioned in the restaurant before. Duobao Pavilion did not take the initiative to contact Zuo Feng during this period, which made Zuo Feng dare not take this road easily. This did not make him wary, but he guessed that Mr. Zhong should have his own concerns.

Then the only one left was the City Lord in front of him. He can be said to be a special existence in this Linshan County City. After being temporarily isolated from the outside world, his city guards have become an unshakable and powerful force in this Linshan County City.

Therefore, when the Tao Master appeared, he had already decided to temporarily move closer to the City Lord's Mansion. It's just that he wanted to know more about the other party, or to increase some bargaining chips.

Unfortunately, the Tao master was not an ordinary person. He had some clues in the conversation and roughly grasped Zuo Feng's thoughts. So he sat down carelessly and even gave Zuo Feng a meal.

The city lord politely invited Zuo Feng and Amber into the Linshan Villa, but this time he did not choose the main hall. After all, there were not many people this time, and it was not convenient for so many people to talk in the main hall, and the city lord did not want others to know what he wanted to talk to Zuo Feng.

After bypassing the huge stone screen that Zuo Feng felt familiar with, the city lord took Zuo Feng to the right, which just fulfilled his wish. The last time he came here, Zuo Feng hoped to come here to take a look.

According to the mysterious mansion he entered at the beginning, there was a lake and a low mountain on the right side of the door. There was a cliff on the edge of the low mountain, and the exit from the mysterious mansion was just below it. If, as Zuo Feng guessed, this mountain villa had a mysterious connection with the mansion he had entered, then there might be some important things in the same location.

As the three of them walked, the city lord kept chatting about other things and did not say anything substantial. Zuo Feng understood that the other party did not want the formal content of the conversation to be heard by others. He did not want his subordinates to know, and he also did not know what role Amber belonged to.

Knowing the other party's intention, Zuo Feng was not in a hurry to get to the point, and he and he came to the edge of the low wall on the right while chatting.

There was also an archway here, but the archway was not a doorway, but was sealed by two vermilion semicircular doors. Obviously, ordinary people could not enter this place.

The Tao master had been following far behind until everyone came to the door, and then he quickly walked to the door and unlocked the door.

Zuo Feng looked at the other party intentionally or unintentionally. If he was based on this person's cultivation, he might really be just an ordinary city lord's mansion master. But judging from his scheming, and the keys to various places in the villa, it is obvious that his status is much higher than he thought, so Zuo Feng also paid more attention.

After the gate was opened, the city lord turned back and ordered all his men to stay outside the gate. Then he looked at Zuo Feng, and his eyes finally fell on Amber. Zuo Feng immediately understood what he meant, turned his head and nodded at Amber. Amber wanted to say something, but after looking at the city lord, she didn't say anything in the end.

Zuo Feng knew that the other party was worried about his safety, so he stretched out his hand and patted him on the shoulder gently, and then followed the city lord into the archway.

There was nothing surprising about the scenery inside. The plants were not too tall, but they were very lush. It seemed that there would be people who often trimmed them here, so it seemed that each plant was still very shaped.

On the small road paved with square bricks, the city lord was in front, and Zuo Feng was slightly behind and walked slowly into the garden.

"Brother Shen seems to be very interested in my garden. Are you also well-versed in garden architecture? I have seen how knowledgeable you are."

The city lord said casually while walking, but Zuo Feng smiled slightly after hearing this. This smile may look very free and easy to others, but he knew in his heart that it was completely a bitter smile. How do I know anything about garden architecture? The reason why I give people a feeling of erudition is because I have done a lot of research on refining medicine and weapon refining, and my memory is far better than that of ordinary people. The content of the first competition tonight was all related to various materials for refining medicine and weapons.

"The scenery of this private garden is very unique. I didn't expect that there is such an elegant place in Linshan County City. The Lord of the City seems to enjoy it very much."

This sounds like a compliment, but it is the only thing Zuo Feng can say. It is impossible to really discuss this garden with the other party, and he can only talk about him.

The city lord shook his head and said with a smile: "How can such a good fortune come? In fact, I don't come to this garden very often. The number of times I come here every year is very limited, so you can also see the place where the second and third competitions are held. I have been there, and although there are many mysterious powers, they cannot be used by me after all. Each activation requires huge consumption, and even some small aristocratic families cannot afford this price."

Zuo Feng knew that the other party was impatient, and since there were no outsiders present, he would not go straight to the subject in a secretive manner.

Although he was anxious, Zuo Feng was not anxious. Instead, he said: "I don't know when this villa was built, and who was the person who built it in the first place? Who can complete such a large project? He will never be an unknown person in the Xuanwu Empire. Even if countless years pass, his descendants should not be silent. "

Hearing that Zuo Feng brought the topic to this villa again, without touching the content of the second and third games, the city lord frowned slightly, but then he relaxed and said with a smile.

"Since Brother Shen Feng wants to know, these are not too confidential things, so there is no harm in telling you. It's just that there are too many of them that cannot be verified and verified, so I can't guarantee whether they are true or false."

After a short pause, he continued: "This place already existed before the construction of Linshan County, and there are many rumors about its existence. Including the establishment of the empire, plus the several super aristocratic families at the time , what we know now are some rumors that were passed down from the beginning.

Rumor has it that this Linshan Villa was originally built by a powerful person. Not only did this powerful person reach the pinnacle in refining medicine, but he was also unrivaled in the entire continent in refining weapons. It is said that the great master built the villa here in order to study the method of breakthrough above the god refining stage, but no one knows whether it was successful in the end. "

Having said this, the city lord slowly raised his head and looked at the path ahead. The path split into two in front, and the left one extended into the dense forest, while the right one slowly went upwards. There was a low mountain here.

Zuo Feng also noticed the changes ahead, and at the same time a trace of doubt arose in his heart. The mysterious mansion that I wanted to go to at the beginning should have a lake here, but there is a low mountain here. The difference is a bit big.

The city lord chose the road up the mountain on the right, walked slowly towards the hillside, and continued: "For some reason, this villa was abandoned here, and eventually became an ownerless thing. Later, the earliest leader of the empire , and the extremely powerful super family came here and built Linshan County City here. This is probably the origin of this place. "

After a slight pause, the city lord said again: "No one knew anything about the great man who originally built this place. However, there were rumors about the descendants you mentioned for a while. But these rumors were finally suppressed. , after all, the Bieyuan Empire will not let them go just based on rumors.”

Having said this, the city lord glanced at Zuo Feng with a smile, then pointed to a platform ahead and continued: "Let's sit there."

Seeing Zuo Feng nodding in agreement, he then said: "The so-called descendant is well known in the Xuanwu Empire, but no force can win his favor. This person is extremely mysterious, and no one We know his true origin, but this also makes many people doubt the authenticity of the rumors.”

When talking about this person, City Lord You seemed a little excited. Zuo Feng didn't know whether it was City Lord's respect for this person or some other emotion.

After a long pause, the city lord slowly said: "That person is the medicine hunchback known as the 'Medicine Maniac'."

"What?"

When he heard this name, even Zuo Feng, who had always remained calm, instantly lost his composure, and City Lord You immediately turned his head to look, with doubts in his eyes.
