C101 Complicated Situation

Zuo Feng didn't pay much attention to the change in An Xiong's expression. He was pondering how he should explain the various forms that he knew. Seeing how An Xiong's attitude was still so relaxed, it was obvious that he didn't have much understanding of the complicated situation he was in.

After a moment of hesitation, Zuo Feng opened his mouth and said, "City Lord, I wonder if you know that the people from the Fengtian Empire are already moving around the outskirts of the Yan City. I think their goal is not just to be interested in the surrounding villages. "

"What, the Heavenly Empire?"

Zuo Feng's words had an extraordinary peak to them, causing An Xiong to reveal a hint of shock for the first time. Seeing his sudden change, Zuo Feng knew that he had achieved his goal, and the other party's attention was attracted by his sudden words. Then, he began to speak at a moderate pace.

"Our village was attacked a few days ago. At this moment, there are no more villages to the southeast of Yan City."

An Xiong's brows were furrowed as he stared at Zuo Feng, as if he wanted to see something from his expression. However, Zuo Feng didn't seem to have anything out of the ordinary. This caused An Xiong to be slightly disappointed, but he still asked.

"I already know about all of this. It should all be because of that Golden Crag Mountain bandit. However, how is this related to the imperial court?"

Listening to An Xiong's question, Zuo Feng calmly said, "The bandits of Golden Crag Mountain have existed for nearly twenty years. They had already occupied that place even before I was born. Although they did some raiding and travelling business, to a small village like ours, they will only collect a certain amount of money every month. "

After saying that, Zuo Feng paused for a moment. He looked at An Xiong's serious expression and nodded his head inwardly. He had purposefully said those words to make An Xiong pay attention to him. It seemed like he had already achieved his goal. However, An Xiong was still extremely calm and focused as he listened. From this, he could see that this person was extremely shrewd and shrewd.

Zuo Feng continued to explain, "However, since five years ago, a group of mysterious gray-clothed men suddenly appeared here. It was also when this group of people appeared that Jin Yan Shan suddenly changed his attitude from before. The surrounding villages began to be mercilessly downsized, but there were also some people who planned to make some preparations. "As you can see, even these villages, including our Zuo Family Village, have been wiped out."

An Xiong slightly nodded his head. It was obvious that he knew a bit about most of what Zuo Feng had said.

"Those people did indeed move here five years ago, but according to my investigation, they should have belonged to a small power in the Royal Capital. Because they offended some influential people, they were chased out."

Zuo Feng wasn't the least bit surprised by An Xiong's words. Since this group of people had a deeper motive, they naturally had to prepare a convincing background information. Furthermore, with the strength of an empire, it was easy for them to create a viable background for an investigation.

This also made Zuo Feng understand why Yan City had always kept a calm watch on this group of people. Zuo Feng pondered for a moment and said.

"I wonder how much does the mayor know about the Yin Group?"

Hearing Zuo Feng mention the "Yin Group," An Xiong's face showed a trace of shock, but he quickly calmed down. He looked at Zuo Feng calmly and shook his head slightly.

Just as An Xiong's expression changed, Zuo Feng's heart was moved at the same time. Although the other party had denied having heard of this organization, he could see that the other party had not told him the truth. However, Zuo Feng did not mind. After all, this information might be related to the secrets between the two countries. It was normal for him to not be able to share it with a youth like him.

Zuo Feng said unhurriedly, "Once this mysterious Yin Group arrived at the Tianping Mountain Range, they immediately formed a connection with that Mountain Bandits. Clearing out all the villages in the southeastern part of Yan City is only the first step in their plan. "

Zuo Feng only paused for a second this time before continuing, "Their second step is to slaughter almost all of Golden Rock Mountain. Right now, only a small portion of the people are left in Golden Rock Mountain. There are still some women and children among them."

"Golden Rock Mountain has been massacred, is that news of yours accurate?"

Zuo Feng nodded with a smile and said, "I went to check it myself. I saw it all with my own eyes."

An Xiong's brows were deeply furrowed. It was as if he was talking to himself. "Why would they do this?"

"Mayor, why don't you ask where the survivors from the Golden Rock Mountain went?" Zuo Feng slowly said.

An Xiong suddenly perked up and hastily asked, "Where did you go?"

A trace of a smile appeared on Zuo Feng's face, as if he was intentionally trying to ruin An Xiong's appetite. He paused for a moment before continuing.

"You can send someone to investigate and see if there is a group of mysterious people in Commander Zhang Yu's residence. They will then know where the remnants of the bandits have gone to."

When An Xiong heard this, his pupils slightly constricted. It was clear that he hadn't expected this matter to involve Zhang Yu. He then shifted his gaze to Uncle Tian, who was sitting opposite of Zuo Feng. Uncle Tian nodded slightly, then cast another glance at the calm young man before him before turning around and walking out of the hall. Zuo Feng smiled. He knew that Uncle Tian was going to verify what he had just said.

From beginning to end, Uncle Tian did not speak, but his heart was similarly filled with shock. The youth in front of him had also caused him to notice the difference, as if not only had his cultivation become mysterious after he returned this time, his disposition caused even the weather-beaten old man to be slightly shocked.

An Xiong glanced at the back of Uncle Tian before turning his head to ask, "Do you have any evidence to confirm the identity of those mysterious people?"

Zuo Feng knew that it was important to answer this question. Whether or not He Xiong would believe what he said and take action against the grey-clothed men all depended on the answer he gave.

He shook his head lightly and said, "I don't have any direct evidence. I can only tell that they are a well-trained army by the weapons they use, their formation and their coordination during battle."

An Xiong had an awkward expression as he said, "You should know that if you want to mobilize the troops of Yan City, it will be extremely troublesome." It would be too much of a joke to ask me to take all the risks and send you out of the city with just your words. "

Zuo Feng was already prepared and said, "I also didn't know the identities of those mysterious people. I heard from that senior 'Fantasy', and even the name of this' Yin Group 'was told to me by her."

For this problem, the best solution Zuo Feng could think of was to place all his efforts on that senior. In fact, Zuo Feng had indeed heard about the origins of these people from the "Mirage Faction". It was just that he had mentioned the name "Yin Group" as something that senior had told him.

He lowered his head to ponder for a moment before suddenly lifting the armrest of his chair with a serious expression and said, "Alright, since little brother has said so, then I'll believe you for the time being. I'll dispatch some people to thoroughly investigate that group of mysterious people."

Zuo Feng's expression was serious as he nodded and replied, "City Lord is wise."

But in his heart, he was sneering to himself. 'Even though you clearly believed the words of' Mirage ', you insisted on saying that it was because you trusted me to do so. It seems like this An Xiong had thoughts of roping you in as well.'

Zuo Feng didn't care much about it, and he was happy to be closer to the Mayor's mansion. After all, in the current situation, it was impossible for their village to stay out of this mess. If they wanted to stand in a team, they would have to join the mayor's team.

An Xiong suddenly thought of something and doubtfully said, "How do you know that the Golden Rock Mountain bandits have gone to Commander Zhang Yu's residence? Don't tell me that he just sent people to beat you up in the restaurant?"

Zuo Feng was not prepared for this question, but as soon as he thought about it, he came up with a good excuse.

Thus, he opened his mouth and said, "City Lord, a few days ago when I was in Li City, someone sent a group of people from a gang to chase and kill me. Unfortunately, these people were attacked by wild beasts, and then I launched another sneak attack. I was also forced out the relationship between Zhang Yu and Golden Crag Mountain by those people who were chasing me. "

He didn't completely believe Zuo Feng's words. After all, the relationship between Zhang Yu and the bandits shouldn't be something that a group of gangsters knew about.

"What gang?"

"The Black Wolf Gang and the Tiger Might Gang."

Zuo Feng also casually said it.

"Clap clap!"

An Xiong lightly exchanged two palm strikes. Soon, the shadow that was not far behind him slightly trembled. Then, a deep voice said, "Master, do you have any instructions?"

"Go, capture the two sect leaders of the Black Wolf Gang and the Tiger Might Gang to see me."

"Yes!"

The person in the shadow answered without any hesitation. Afterwards, it became silent without a sound.

Just as Zuo Feng was lamenting about the mystery of the person in the shadows, Uncle Tian walked into the hall. Arriving at the center of the hall, he stopped and said, "Among the guards, I picked out five teams and have already set out to investigate the mysterious person. I think the results will be back soon. Zhang Yu did indeed have a few strangers coming in and out of the city recently, but we are unable to find out the identities of these people. "

Although Zuo Feng didn't say anything, he was sneering to himself, 'I'm afraid even one of the five teams are considered lucky, I know a bit about the strength of those mysterious persons.'

However, Zuo Feng did not say anything, because there was no real friction between the two sides right now. Once the City Lord's Mansion suffered some casualties, then it could be considered to be truly involved in this whirlpool. This was what Zuo Feng wanted to see the most right now.

Zuo Feng also had other thoughts in his mind. If they had been able to send out a portion of the city guards, the villagers might not have ended up like this.

After that, the few of them chatted for a while, while Zuo Feng also asked about the situation. After hearing that the sky had turned bright, Zuo Feng was finally relieved. At the same time, Zuo Feng also noticed that the mayor seemed to be especially concerned about the heavens. Although he was a bit confused, he didn't think too much about it.

Not long after, a dense cloud floated behind An Xiong, then the low voice sounded again.

"The two gangs had just been massacred. When we arrived, none of them were still alive."

An Xiong's expression was clearly somewhat displeased. He snorted lowly and said, "Who did it?"

The low voice immediately replied, "It seems to have been done by Commander Zhang Yu's subordinate."

After hearing his words, An Xiong slowly waved his hand, signaling the man to step back. He closed his eyes slightly, as if he was thinking about something.
