C81 Mutual Probing

"How many families are in your village?"

"How many people escaped like you?"

"What day was the attack?"

"Who attacked you?"

He kept throwing out questions. Although Zuo Feng's mind was working really fast, he was still confused by the constant questions.

"Oh, yes. "You said that you were going to go to the Zuo Family Village, then when was it attacked?"

Hearing this question, Zuo Feng became even more vigilant. He smiled and said, "I remember that I didn't mention about the Zuo Family Village to you?" Although Zuo Feng was smiling as he answered, the woman who called herself Qing`er was a bit embarrassed by his words. She hurriedly changed her tone and said, "It was Uncle Zhao who brought it up with us. I was wrong."

Seeing her blushing red face, Zuo Feng felt funny. It seemed that this girl had never done such a thing before. Plus, she didn't have much experience in the martial arts world. It seemed that she could be used to her advantage.

"I heard that the Zuo Family Village was attacked four days ago. I didn't see it with my own eyes, but our people saw the flames from afar." Zuo Feng replied calmly.

"It was day or night four days ago." Qing`er's countenance was clearly more attentive than before, she continued to ask Zuo Feng in detail.

"Of course it's night. Otherwise, how could we clearly see the light of fire shooting into the sky?" After Zuo Feng finished speaking, he carefully observed the changes in the young girl. Sure enough, when the young girl heard it was night, she was stunned for a moment before muttering to herself, "This is impossible, how could it be night?"

Zuo Feng had clearly heard the young girl's unconscious mutter, but he pretended not to have heard it clearly and asked, "Sister Qing`er, I didn't hear what you were saying just now."

The girl immediately explained, "Nothing, nothing. "Oh yeah, your body seems to be injured. How did you do that?"

"We occasionally encounter wild beasts when gathering herbs in the mountains. It's hard to avoid such small injuries." Zuo Feng knew that his answer caused Qing`er to be puzzled. According to his estimation, the bandits' lair should have been attacked at night. Moreover, it should have been attacked on the same night in the Zuo Family Village.

Most of the elites from the bandits' village were sent out. After dealing with the people from the Zuo Family Village, they were killed and hung on the fence. After that, a portion of the grey-clothed men rushed to the mountain stronghold and exterminated it that night.

Most of the bandits were killed in their fast asleep state, and then a fierce battle broke out in the small building that Zuo Feng had carefully explored. In other words, it was a cruel massacre. He guessed that although the number of grey-clothed people sent out at that time wasn't great, their strength should be extremely tyrannical.

At that time, he would probably shout out, "Bring justice to the old and young of the Zuo Family Village!"

However, there was one problem. The village of Zuo had indeed been massacred, but why would anyone from the village of Zuo come and ambush bandits? That's why this young girl called Qing`er was stunned for a moment when Zuo Feng mentioned that the time was "the night four days ago".

"Sister Qing`er, where did you all come from?" Sister Qing`er, where did you guys come from? Zuo Feng asked casually.

"Cough …" We opened up a small shop at the border of the Empire of Pingtian. This is the first time I've come out with my family to sell, and I heard everything from my uncle. The girl coughed dryly a few times, but this time, her voice was trembling a little when she spoke.

"Rest well. I don't think I'll disturb you today if you don't hurry." This young girl by the name of Qing`er obviously didn't want to stay here any longer.

Zuo Feng looked at her back as he calculated in his heart. This girl should be the first one sent to test him. Perhaps she was a girl that was not that different from him in age. He might let down his guard and reveal some flaws in his answers.

However, his answer just now could be said to be impenetrable. They would definitely send someone else to test his background. However, from the girl's words, he could already feel that this group of people still suspected that he had some relationship with the Zuo Family Village.

In this short afternoon, three people came to talk to Zuo Feng. One of them was a middle-aged woman, while the other two were young men dressed as waiters.

Rather than talking, it would be more accurate to interrogate them. These people went from small matters in Shen Village to the residences of these survivors, what did they have to do with the Zuo Village? He even asked about the bandits' understanding, and finally mentioned that there was a group of grey-clothed people here.

Zuo Feng felt that they had suspected the group of grey robed men before, but all the evidence and the situation made them believe that the one who attacked was from the Zuo Family Village.

The curtain of the night gradually fell. After a simple dinner with these people, Zuo Feng was arranged to stay in a small tent. There were also two 'little boys' arranged to stay in this small tent. These two 'boys' were the people who had come this afternoon to talk to Zuo Feng, and Zuo Feng knew that these two were definitely here to spy on him.

He also pretended that he didn't know that Ye Zichen was trying to get close to him, but the two of them changed their passionate attitude and became very quiet. Another reason why he didn't choose to escape at that time was because he wanted to communicate with this group of people and shift their hostility from the Zuo family's village to the grey-clothed man's group.

However, from the looks of it, his plan had failed completely, and they were probably suspicious of him.

Zuo Feng's small tent was not far from the center of the camp, and Zuo Feng guessed that the group of people were the leaders of the big camp in the center.

He had pretended that he was very tired and wanted to rest early, but how could Zuo Feng have the leisure to sleep now? He shut his eyes tightly and focused all his attention on his ears.

Gradually, the sounds of conversation from the big tent also reached his ears. He guessed that only people like Zuo Feng, whose bodies had undergone special transformations, would be able to hear such things. Only then can it be done. That group of people naturally didn't know that Zuo Feng was so far away that they could clearly hear their conversation.

"Why haven't there been any news from those people today?" A woman's voice was heard in Zuo Feng's ear, and he could tell that this was the ZhongTian woman who had questioned him earlier in the day.

"Madam, don't worry. I heard that something happened over at their side. It seems like quite a few people died, and they are currently pursuing an important figure in the forest." Zuo Feng still remembered that this was the rat-faced man that brought him into the camp.

"Do you think what that youth said today is true?" The middle-aged woman spoke again.

"I can see that he's very excited, he's not as dazed as he looks on the surface, especially when it comes to the Zuo Family Village, it's even harder for us to believe. According to that group of people, the Zuo Family Village must have been teamed up with the mayor of Yan City. Those people who came here to kill us were the masters of the City Lord's Mansion. " The man gritted his teeth and said.

"Do you really think that group of people are reliable? We only know that they belong to the Heavenly Emperor Palace, but we still don't know enough about the other matters." According to what that young man said, that group of people seemed to be even more suspicious than the Zuo Family Village and the Mayor's mansion. The ZhongTian woman said with some hesitation.

"Impossible, we were the ones who were chased down the mountain and saved by that group of people, and they even killed an expert who wanted to kill us. You saw all of this with your own eyes, but I actually feel like this kid has a lot of problems. "

Hearing this, Zuo Feng's heart slightly sank. He did not expect the other party to be so decisive. He did not hesitate to sacrifice one of his companions in order to gain trust. No wonder he wasted so much time talking, he still couldn't convince them that this had nothing to do with the Zuo family village.

His current situation was not looking good. He was anxious to clear the suspicion for the village, but he didn't expect that the mayor's mansion would be involved as well. 'Looks like not only did today's conversation not have any good effects, it actually made my situation even more worrying.' Zuo Feng thought in his heart.

"I think if you want to pry open that brat's mouth, you don't need to go through so much trouble. Have you forgotten what we do?" Just as Zuo Feng was thinking about this, the man's voice once again broke Zuo Feng's train of thoughts. It was accompanied by the sneaky smile of the rat-faced middle-aged man.

Zuo Feng's entire body tensed up. This group of people were really not good people. He was only suspecting it and actually prepared to be severely tortured. It seemed that he could not stay any longer at this moment. Initially, he had wanted to continue hiding and find out the relationship between them and Commander Zhang Yu, but now it seemed that his hope had been dashed once more.

Thinking of this, Zuo Feng's body slightly moved, but the people sleeping beside him immediately noticed.

"What, boy?"

"Oh, I want to go out and relieve myself." Zuo Feng immediately replied.

"As long as you leave the tent and take a break, no one will look at you in the dark." The young man casually replied.

At this moment, Zuo Feng could not help but curse in his heart. He should have said that he wanted to achieve a great breakthrough just now. He wanted to see if this person would still let him take care of things outside the tent, but now that he had said it out loud, it would be more suspicious if he changed his words.

Zuo Feng pretended to be in a deep sleep as he walked out of the tent. The chilly wind blew gently from the bright moon and stars outside. Zuo Feng's whole body unconsciously shivered.

After walking carefully for a short distance, he pulled out the fellow and began to deal with him. However, his eyes and spiritual force did not idle around. After inspecting all the sentries in the surroundings, he pretended to be relieved of a heavy burden and returned to his tent. The two young men didn't seem to have any intention of sleeping. They stared at Zuo Feng with their eyes wide open. After Zuo Feng laid down again, they turned around and pretended to sleep.

"Madam, you don't have to do anything. I'll personally carry that brat out of the camp and find a quiet place. I'm sure he'll spit out everything about the eight generations of his ancestors." Zuo Feng heard the man's voice again.

"There's no rush. You haven't eaten since you left tonight, so it's not too late to fill your stomach first before making your move. There's a little pony over there, and Little Zhou is watching him." The woman's voice came again.

Zuo Feng sighed in his heart, 'Looks like all the plans to enter this team have failed. Right now, I'm afraid that I'll have to stay here with my life.' When he thought of this, Zuo Feng no longer hesitated. He quietly took out a long needle from his pocket.

This was the only thing that he was carrying around with him, and it was something that he had previously stitched up the wound on his leg before casually sticking to his shirt. As for the other items, they were all left at the tree where he had previously rested. It seemed that tonight's escape would depend on this needle.
