C67 Yin Group Conspiracy

Zuo Feng hadn't paid too much attention to the colorful-robed corpse before, but just as he was about to leave, he felt that the arm of the colorful-robed corpse seemed unnatural.

Most people would subconsciously defend or cover their wounds when they were killed. The corpse's arms were stretched out in a strange way, and his hands seemed to be trying hard to grab onto something. Following the direction of his extended palm, Zuo Feng's line of sight also landed on one of the legs on the desk.

Then a crack in the table leg caught his eye, and he pressed his palm against the crack in his left foot. With a flick of his finger, a piece of wood was easily snapped off and a piece of paper was revealed.

The three-finger-wide piece of paper didn't show any signs of being old. It was obvious that this piece of paper was still very new, probably written recently. After he unfolded the folded paper, a few lines of words appeared before his eyes. The calligraphy on the back of the paper was written in a flamboyant and flamboyant manner. It was obvious that the person who wrote the calligraphy was a man, and the content was very simple: two lines.

"The mayor has been in closed-door training for many days and has prepared to pass on his message to me. The Yin Group cannot be easily trusted. If there is any change, enter Yan City." The content was limited to these two lines. Behind it was a seal with only one word, "Jade".

He stared at the note in his hand and read it again many times. He even checked the back of the note and slowly retracted his gaze. The information mentioned in the note had already attracted Zuo Feng's attention.

If he connected the information about Yan City and the City Lord, which meant that the City Lord mentioned in the note was City Lord Yan, then this bandit must have some accomplices or collaborators within Yan City.

Then, he thought about the many difficulties the village people had encountered in entering the city. Later on, he was beaten up so badly that he couldn't stand it anymore. All of this had something to do with the last word, "Jade" — — Zhang Yu, the commander in chief of Yan City.

Based on the contents of this note and what happened in Yan City, Zuo Feng deduced that this Zhang Yu must have a close relationship with these bandits. 'Just based on Zhang Yu's strength and this group of bandits, she was able to set up a plan against the mayor. Obviously, the difference in strength is still too big, so she wants to rely on external help, which is the "Yin Group" mentioned in the note. '

Zuo Feng was still sketching out the inner story in his mind, but there were some things he did not understand. That was why both sides suddenly fell out and left the body of the bandit in the village.

This "Yin Group" should be that group of grey-clothed people, and Teng Xiao Yun also said that this group of grey-clothed people should belong to that group. This meant that not only was they here to find where Teng Five was, they were also here to plot against Yan City.

Yan City was one of the major cities in the southeast direction of Ye Lin Empire. If the royal family wanted to invade Ye Lin Empire, this Yan City would be a great springboard. Once the Tianhuang Kingdom occupied the lower Yan City, they could use this place as a base. Whether it was charging north to the main city of the Yulin Empire or seizing a large piece of land westward, they could use it as their base to move their troops.

Zuo Feng didn't really care much about these two countries fighting each other, but if it involved the gray clothed men, then he could use the City Lord's power to kill the gray clothed man and destroy their plan at the very least. Thinking of this, Zuo Feng carefully kept the note in his hand. Although there weren't many words, it would still be of great use at critical moments.

After putting away the note, a question appeared in his mind. This group of assassins should be very strong. They should be able to kill everyone here, but why are there still women who escaped from this place. If they didn't want to leave any clues behind, wouldn't it be safer to kill everyone and burn this place to the ground?

Zuo Feng turned back to the hall with doubts. The smell of the room was repulsive, but Zuo Feng had no choice but to endure the turmoil in his chest and abdomen as he looked again.

This time, the search was much more detailed than before. Moreover, this time, he still carried some questions to check, and very quickly, he discovered something new. There were a few corpses in the hall that caught Zuo Feng's attention. These corpses did not look like bandits, but the weapons in their hands.

Picking up a spear, he saw that the spear had been broken into two parts. The chest with a spearhead was stabbed into the chest of a bandit. The moment he touched the spear, Zuo Feng noticed the problem, because the spear itself was made by his father, Zuo Changqing.

His father's carpentry was done very carefully, the spear straight and its surface polished countless times. There were small indentations on the middle and end of the spear shaft as well. This was done in order to prevent himself from slipping while holding the spear. Most importantly, there was a "Left" character on the spear shaft.

After some more searching, Zuo Feng found a few more weapons that belonged to the Zuo Family Village, and they even had the mark of the Zuo Family Village on them.

This discovery made Zuo Feng's hands tremble in anger. This group of people had just slaughtered their own village, yet they were still carrying the weapons they had obtained from the village to kill the bandits. If he was not from the Zuo Family, and if he had found the short sword, it would have been difficult for him to figure out what was going on.

However, right after that, Zuo Feng found out that there was a conflict, and his emotions also calmed down. According to his own deduction, the bandits and the gray-clothed man should be working together temporarily. Why did he have to kill the people from the village before his goal was achieved, and why did he have to blame it on the village? There must be some other conspiracy involved.

Unknowingly, Zuo Feng walked out of the hall. The cold wind of the night blew against his face, and the fresh and cold air cleared his mind. He slightly moved his chest and a small head popped out. Ever since he entered the mountain stronghold, especially after that bloody hall, the little beast was motionless in Zuo Feng's embrace, as if it was not used to this place.

When Zuo Feng walked out of the hall, he immediately stuck his head out to get some fresh air. Zuo Feng took out some bottle stopper from his chest and broke off a small piece to give to the little beast. The little beast immediately cried out happily, grabbed it and jumped into Zuo Feng's arms again.

Zuo Feng then took out another piece of dried food, and started to eat without caring about the smell of food. It had been two days since his master died from poison, and he hadn't eaten anything. Because he hadn't eaten anything for a long time, he gulped down a mouthful of dry food. Instead, his stomach made a gurgling sound … A sound.

While chewing on the dry rations, Zuo Feng started to analyze all the information. First was the annihilation of his own village and the annihilation of all the bandits. At first, Zuo Feng thought that the grey-clothed man did not want the news about "Teng Five" to be leaked, but now, it seemed that things were not so simple.

After those bandits were killed, they were still hung on the wooden stakes outside the village in an extremely cruel manner. This made it seem as if they were taking revenge on those bandits for slaughtering the Zuo Family Village. Plus, the weapons he had found in the main hall were all aimed at the village.

Zuo Feng's heart skipped a beat as he suddenly remembered the little slip of paper in his arms. This involved Commander Zhang Yu of Yan City. This Zhang Yu was on the side of the bandits. If the bandits' side were to be exterminated, then Zhang Yu would have to directly work with the Yin Group. This way, they would be able to avoid the bandit leader as the middleman, and the Shadow Squad would be able to use this pawn more easily.

When the Yin Group had just arrived, they had constantly slaughtered the surrounding villages in order to find the location of the "Teng Five". They had finally achieved their goal in the Zuo Family Village. Judging from the time of their deaths, they must have attacked their own village when the group of people who left came here to kill the bandits.

In the process of the cooperation between the two sides, the Shadow Squad probably understood that the bandit side had been infiltrated into the Yan City and was in charge of the situation. The bandits wanted to help this man take the position of the mayor of Yan City, which would undoubtedly play an important role in the future plans of the Yin Group.

Therefore, after they caught "Teng Five", they started the second step of their plan. They would exterminate most of the bandits using their identity as the village of Zuo and leave behind evidence to blame the village of Zuo. This way, he would be able to get rid of his suspicions and continue cooperating with the 'hidden spies' in Yan City.

It was completely within the Yin Group's expectation that they would retreat to Yan City. This also explained why there were some people from the Yin Group who had returned alive to report this, but no enemy had come to kill them.

This step by step plan was linked to another. If it weren't for Zuo Feng accidentally saving Teng Xiao Yun, this Yin Group would have been the ultimate victor of this plot. Not only would they be able to bring Teng Five or that secret treasure back to the imperial capital, but they would also be able to obtain a great amount of help from Yan City. Eventually, Yan City would be under their control.

According to Zuo Feng's analysis, the Yin Group probably didn't know who the bandits from Yan City were and couldn't contact them directly. At this time, the survivors were not only the witnesses, they were also the contacts with the "hidden spies" in Yan City.

The survivors were still hiding in the forest. According to the grey-clothed man's plan, he should have accidentally 'saved' them by now. After that, he would contact the 'hidden spies' in Yan City. Everything should have developed in this way.

However, the disappearance of Teng Xiao Yun might disrupt their plans a little, so they were frantically searching for him in the forest. It was just that he didn't know if the gray-clothed man and the 'scumbag' from Yan City, in other words, Commander Zhang Yu, were connected.

After thinking for a while, Zuo Feng couldn't think of any better way to disrupt their plans, so he temporarily put this matter aside. Since the other party was framing them and they couldn't burn this place down, they believed that they wouldn't stay here for long.

Since that was the case, it meant that if there were some hidden places here, they wouldn't have carefully investigated them. The villagers had just arrived at Yan City, and the conditions were still very difficult. If they could find some money here, then they could solve this big problem.

After thinking about this, Zuo Feng started searching around the inside and outside of the small building. He believed that if he had such a treasure trove, he would definitely not be too far away from this small building. After all, such an important thing could only be at ease if it was closer to him.

However, after looking around for a long time, Zuo Feng still couldn't find anything. He was looking at almost every single tree on the ground. He looked around and saw an inconspicuous little house. He hadn't paid much attention to it after walking around for a long time, but when he looked at it now, he realized that there was something out of the ordinary about this little house.
