Chapter 801 City Lord
Zuo Feng looked at the tall rider with a puzzled look. He was sure that he had never been to Dongjun, nor did he know anyone in Dongjun, let alone someone who obviously has a low status in Dongjun.
But the soldiers who belonged to Dongjun in front of me felt very familiar. But before I could carefully identify them, the cavalry team was already passing by Zuo Feng's eyes as fast as a wind. Even though there were so many people crowded here at the city gate, they had never slowed down at all.
Soon the little episode in front of the city gate had passed, and Zuo Feng joined the crowd again with doubts. He had arrived at the table at the city gate at a short while. When he reported his name, the soldier in charge of the record looked up and down with some confusion and asked at the same time.
"Zuo Feng, is it Zuo Feng from Zuojia Village?"
Zuo Feng was also confused, so he hurriedly replied: "My name is Zuo Feng, and I do come from Zuojia Village."
The soldier immediately said with a look of surprise: "That's great. The city lord has an order to ask you to see him immediately after you return to the city."
After hearing his words, Zuo Feng vaguely guessed something. Although he was wondering why the city lord came out of seclusion early, since the other party wanted to see him, he also wanted to see this city lord, so he answered immediately.
"Okay, I'll go home and go to the city lord's mansion to pay a visit to the city lord."
After hearing Zuo Feng say this, the soldier said with a embarrassed look: "The City Lord said that he would like to ask you to see him immediately after returning to the city, so please go with us immediately."
Zuo Feng was obviously dissatisfied with such a request. When he saw the soldier looking embarrassed, he nodded reluctantly.
I heard Shen Die say that his father was injured, so he wanted to go home as soon as possible. But now I will go to the city lord's mansion and see how his sister was injured by the way, so after hesitating for a while, he agreed.
Seeing Zuo Feng nodding in agreement, the soldier immediately showed joy on his face, and then he gestured to the two soldiers behind him.
Then, Zuo Feng, accompanied by two soldiers, headed towards the city lord's mansion.
After walking for a while, the two soldiers kept looking at the style of Feng awkwardly. Zuo Feng could also feel this gaze, but he had no choice. There was a big guy of six or seven hundred pounds on his arm to make him walk fast. The two soldiers obviously had instructed him not to make things difficult for Zuo Feng, so although he was anxious, he did not say much.
It took Zuo Feng and the other two to finally arrive in a quarter of an hour. When the gatekeeper heard that the young man who came was Zuo Feng, he immediately showed joy on his face and politely invited Zuo Feng into the mansion.
This is not the first time Zuo Feng has come here. The middle-aged man dressed as a butler. The middle-aged man explained to Zuo Feng with a smile, "It is said that the city lord is meeting some important guests, so he can only aggrieved Zuo Feng to go to the side hall to make some tea."
Zuo Feng nodded slightly, but he had probably guessed that the important guests the city lord was meeting were probably related to the team of cavalry he saw at the city gate. Zuo Feng was worried about Tiantian in his heart, so he asked where Uncle Tian was, but the answer was that Uncle Tian was also meeting with the city lord. Later, he asked Anya, but Anya was actually meeting with the city lord.
This made Zuo Feng wait with helplessness and peace of mind. It seemed that he had to see the city lord first before he could see the girl. In the next half hour, Zuo Feng waited anxiously in the side hall until the middle-aged man who looked like a housekeeper came to call him, and Zuo Feng then went to the main hall.
Although he had also been to the City Lord's Mansion, this main hall was his first time. From the side hall where he was, he came to the main hall after just a few turns. Looking inside, Zuo Feng couldn't help but feel a little astonished.
Although the hall is not magnificent, it is about ten feet long and six feet wide. When you look at Zuo Feng, you will see a huge animal skin placed in the center of the hall. The animal skin is preserved intact, and it is still roaring.
Zuo Feng could see the origin of the beast skin at a glance, and it turned out to be an adult "storm bear". This violent bear is also a second only to the wild beasts on the outskirts of Tianping Mountain. Unexpectedly, it was decorated here.
"Haha, my friend Zuo Feng is actually very interested in this animal skin. This violent bear was killed by me when I was eighteen years old in the woods, so the people later called me 'violent bear' in private."
While Zuo Feng was staring at the animal skin on the ground, a low voice sounded in the room. Zuo Feng looked along the sound and saw a middle-aged man sitting upright on the hall, while Uncle Tian, who was kind on his side, was looking at him with a smile. On a chair next to the hall, a graceful figure was holding up a teacup and looking at him with his light. It was Miss Anya.
Zuo Feng couldn't continue standing at the door, so he hurried to the hall, bowed slightly, and said.
"Zuojia Village, Zuo Feng. I have met the city lord."
"Haha, there is no need to be too polite. I have heard from Uncle Tian mention you. It's still me, I'm ignorant and I've caused you some injuries before. I'll apologize to you here for her."
An Xiong laughed heartily and said to Zuo Feng in front of him with a smile. Before Zuo Feng could speak, Anya on the side said first, "Hmph, who would use you to apologize for me? It's obvious that this guy is not as good as someone else, why do you have to blame me for the blame?"
When Zuo Feng heard Anya say this, he couldn't help but smile bitterly, but he didn't say anything else.
Anxiong pretended to be a little displeased, glared at Anya, and said, "You girl don't know how to practice hard on weekdays, but you know how to cause trouble for me. Don't make trouble for me here, hurry up, I want to have a good chat with Zuo Fengyou."
Anya seemed to have been accustomed to Anxiong's pretending to be angry. She glared at Zuo Feng with her eyes, then stood up and walked out carelessly, but said without any forgiveness in her mouth.
"Tsk, who would like to come here? You have forced me to come here."
Anxiong just frowned slightly at his daughter's words, then looked at Zuo Feng in the hall with a smile on his face and said.
"Come on, although this is our first time meeting, don't be polite to me. Please sit down."
After saying that, he looked back at Uncle Tian beside him and said, "Old Tian, there are no outsiders here, so you don't have to stand here, sit down and talk."
Uncle Tian nodded slightly and did not be polite to the city lord, so he sat down at the seat where Anya had just sat. At this time, there were only three people left in the hall, An Xiong sat upright in the middle, Uncle Tian and Zuo Feng sat down on both sides opposite him.
Zuo Feng sat down very carefully, but he still couldn't help but let the chair make a "crunch". Uncle Tian and An Xiong both looked at Zuo Feng with some surprise, and then An Xiong said half-jokingly: "I didn't realize that the little brother Zuo Feng is so thin and so powerful."
Zuo Feng's face turned slightly red, but he couldn't help but think in his heart, 'If I hadn't focused all my weight on my feet now, your chair would have broken on the spot.' An Xiong seemed to have a deep look at Zuo Feng, and then chuckled and said, "My little brother's martial arts are really special. I can't even see your cultivation level."
After hearing An Xiong say this, Uncle Tian was slightly stunned, and looked at Zuo Feng with a surprised look. He also reminded An Xiong that he realized that after Zuo Feng came back this time, he could not even see the depth of the young man's cultivation.
Zuo Feng was slightly shocked, but the expression on his face did not change much. At the same time, he had already guessed in his mind that he could actually hide his cultivation level now. If it weren't for the special effects after his martial arts advanced to the bone refining stage, it would be that the damn "prison lock" in his hand had this special ability.
He had previously guessed that Uncle Tian might have the strength of the Qi Refining Stage, and the city lord thought that his cultivation level would not be lower than Uncle Tian. It seems that his current cultivation level could at least not be discovered by warriors of An Xiong's level.
Not daring to think too much, Zuo Feng immediately replied: "I have experienced some adventures when I left this time, so my cultivation level has reached the first level of the bone refining stage."
As soon as Zuo Feng finished speaking, An Xiong was still better, but his body was slightly straightened. Uncle Tian was obviously unable to sit still and said with a speechless voice: "This... it's only less than ten days. You have actually improved from level 8 of the Body Strengthening Stage to level 1 of the Bone Refining Stage."
After saying that, Uncle Tian also realized that he had just lost his composure, so he coughed a few times and sat back in the chair. However, An Xiong did not say much about his composure. After all, Zuo Feng's progress was too amazing.
Zuo Feng thought for a moment and then told the words he had prepared. He vaguely said that he was accidentally saved by senior "Huansheng" in the forest, and some of the internal stories of senior "Huansheng" did not allow juniors to say to outsiders, which pushed all the adventures down to "Huansheng".
He was not worried that Anxiong would reveal his lies after encountering "Huansheng". After all, after hearing Shen Die's tone, she and his master probably did not plan to come to Yancheng again. Even if Anxiong had the chance to meet the Huansheng senior outside Yancheng in the future, Zuo Feng did not believe that Anxiong would dare to ask the senior about this.
"You have met Senior 'Phantom Life'." An Xiong asked in surprise.
Zuo Feng also knew that Huansheng had been staying in Yancheng for a few days, and thought that he might have met An Xiong. So he worshipped his friend under Huansheng's sect. When they left, they roughly told him that he had been captured.
After hearing this, An Xiong not only sighed deeply, but said with some loss: "Senior 'Phantom Life' has left. Since it was her who took action, it is normal for your cultivation to improve like this miraculously."
Then he paused and continued, "You are very lucky, and your friend is also very lucky."
Zuo Feng heard An Xiong's words with a hint of sourness, but he would never have guessed that he was jealous of his daughter. If his daughter was lucky enough to join the senior's disciple, it would be good even if he was like Zuo Feng who was trying to improve his cultivation a little.
Zuo Feng didn't know the hidden truth, and in fact he was not completely nonsense. After all, he was on the East Mountain that day, and it was this "fantasy" who took action to raise himself two levels in a row.
