Chapter 23: Some omissions

Zuo Feng stared at the figure, a bad premonition lingering in his heart. He felt that he and Teng Xiaoyun seemed to have missed something.

"Monkey, can you deal with Zuo Peng alone?"

"This guy once fought with me at the coming-of-age ceremony, so you can rest assured."

Seeing Zuo Hou confidently patting his chest to make a promise, Zuo Feng still spoke cautiously.

"These few people are full of tricks, and now they have become frightened birds. You must not be careless."

Zuo Hou wanted to say something else, but when he saw Zuo Feng's serious expression, he swallowed the rest of his words back into his stomach. He nodded and followed the figure not far away.

Zuo Feng was still relieved about Zuo Hou. His brother usually laughed and joked, but he was still very reliable when something big happened. At least in the recent period, Zuo Feng was able to survive twice from Dongshan Gorge and Zuo Lie because of his alertness.

After looking at Zuo Hou who was quietly following him, Zuo Feng once again cast his eyes towards the house. After a short pause, he spoke to Shen Die beside him.

"I always feel that I have missed something. Why don't we go over and check it out?"

Shen Die nodded in agreement, and Zuo Feng did not delay any longer. The two quietly approached the house. With their agile hands, they easily climbed over the courtyard wall. When they walked to the front of the house, they could not help but look at each other in shock at the same time.

"Not good."

Both of them were extremely perceptive. At such a close distance, they were both sure that there was no one in the house. It was Zuo Feng who reacted first, kicked the door open and rushed in. Sure enough, there was no one inside.

Zuo Feng had seen the two enter the house with his own eyes before, but when he arrived in front of the house, he found that there was no one inside. Zuo Feng had already thought of the worst possibility.

After searching the house carefully for a while, Zuo Feng still found very carefully that the ground under the big table in the corner of the house was a little unnatural. Using his sleeve to brush away the dust on the blue bricks, several blue bricks with uneven joints were exposed. He reached into the cracks of the bricks and applied a little force, and a blue brick was opened.

When he saw the wooden board under the blue bricks, Zuo Feng punched the ground fiercely and cursed: "These bastards have done this. I should have thought of it a long time ago, damn it."

While continuing to move the surrounding blue bricks, he turned back and said loudly to Shen Die: "Go find my master quickly. If you can't find him, the third elder, the fourth elder, or the fifth elder will do. Bring them here, and they will naturally understand. Be quick."

Shen Die already knew the seriousness of the matter. After listening to Zuo Feng's words, she quickly turned around and left the house. Zuo Feng hurriedly moved a total of six blue bricks there, removed the thick wooden board, and revealed a dark hole below.

While gritting his teeth and cursing Zuo Lie's family of scum, Zuo Feng quickly rushed towards the direction where the cave extended. He had this guess when he found that there was no one in the house, and he was more certain of his idea when he saw the wooden board under the blue brick.

Such a tunnel was probably prepared by them when he was attacked a year ago, and this tunnel was not just for them to take shelter temporarily. I am afraid this is a vicious plan used against the heavily defended Zuojia Village. When everyone is fighting against foreign enemies at the city wall, a large number of enemies will quietly come directly to the hinterland of the village through this tunnel.

When Zuo Feng rushed out of the tunnel, he found that he had arrived at the foot of a small hill northwest of the village. The entrance of the cave was also handled very hidden. If he had not come out from here, he would not have noticed anything unusual if he just passed by here casually.

He looked around, then lay on the ground and listened carefully, but because the other party had been away for too long, he could not hear any footsteps at all. Zuo Feng gritted his teeth and rushed to the west quickly.

'That's where Jinyan Mountain is. No matter what, we must catch up with it before Zuo Cheng goes to notify him. ’

About half an hour later, Zuo Feng dragged his tired body back to the village. The whole village was extremely busy at this time. He pulled over someone and asked him. He found out that Teng Xiaoyun had issued an order half an hour ago to advance the migration to this evening and set off in an hour.

The meeting hall of Zuojia Village was brightly lit. Teng Xiaoyun sat on it with a solemn face, listening to Zuo Feng telling about his pursuit of Zuo Cheng. The third elder had a bad temper. When he heard that Zuo Cheng almost succeeded in reporting the news, he slammed his palm on the coffee table beside him.

"Crack"

The tea table made of green iron wood was smashed by his great strength. Zuo Feng glanced at the green sawdust on the ground. At this time, he was in no mood to admire the third elder's profound skills.

"These beasts actually betrayed the village for a little bit of petty profit. How stupid."

Zuo Feng could hear a trace of regret in the insults of the third elder. Thinking of what happened just now, his emotions are still a little difficult to calm down.

If he hadn't launched the "pseudo-wind march", it just so happened that Zuo Cheng's direction of escape was also favorable, and it just so happened that the person who went to report the news was injured. If it weren't for these coincidences, I'm afraid the current situation would have become irreversible.

"Where are those people?"

Although the question was unclear, Teng Xiaoyun still understood the meaning of Zuo Feng's words and said in a slightly cold tone.

"The second elder said he wanted to leave the village to look for the first elder. When we stopped him, he jumped over the wall and forced his way in. I killed him on the spot. Zuo Xiao went to incite the fourth and fifth elders, but was also captured on the spot by the third elder. He is currently being interrogated. . As for Zuo Peng and several people who are close to him, we have temporarily detained them in the hunting group and have special personnel to monitor them."

After listening to Teng Xiaoyun's narration, Zuo Feng said again.

"On the surface, it seems that they are just these few people, but whether there are other accomplices, we cannot completely rule out the possibility."

After experiencing the previous changes, Zuo Feng also became extremely cautious. He was no longer as confident as before.

"So I gave the order to start organizing the evacuation tonight."

After a pause, he said again.

"Let two-thirds of the people leave immediately."

Zuo Feng was a little surprised, but he quickly realized what he was doing and said with a trembling voice: "Master, aren't you ready to leave?"

Teng Xiaoyun glanced at Zuo Feng deeply, and said in a slightly desolate voice: "Some people must stay temporarily. Those guys are still preparing to attack us. If we all come out this time, we will only force Let them start a decisive battle with us immediately.”

Teng Xiaoyun shook his head and continued without waiting for Zuo Feng to speak.

"No need to persuade me anymore, I have made a decision. I have sent people to seal the tunnel. The defense of Zuojiacun is still very strong, so there is no need to worry about it yet. Those who have not practiced body training will follow this team. Let’s go first, we will observe here for a few days and then we will rush to meet you.”

Zuo Feng originally wanted to say something more, but when he saw Teng Xiaoyun's determined expression, he could no longer say anything and had to retreat from the hall in depression.

After coming out of the hall, looking around, people in the entire village were busy as if a disaster was coming. He was not in a hurry to go home. Before going to the meeting hall to see his master, he met Zuo Hou and Shen Die. With the help of Shen Die, a careful woman, he no longer had to worry about his family.

Thinking of the things he asked Zuo Hou to prepare, Zuo Feng said to himself worriedly: "I hope my estimate is wrong, and I hope that all the things I prepared will not be used."

If the other party could plan so carefully and even prepare the tunnels several years in advance, then he and others would probably be prepared to evacuate to Yancheng, so he asked Zuo Hou to make preparations immediately after returning to the village.

With constant calculations in his mind, he kept heading towards the small warehouse behind the village that he had agreed with Zuo Hou.

"Most of the things you asked me to prepare are here. Come and see if these are all you want."

Zuo Feng looked at the pile of scattered things on the ground, a pile of bamboo tubes here, a dozen longbows and a few hard crossbows there, in addition to hundreds of feather arrows and dozens of crossbow arrows, and there were They were just large, full cloth bags, and it was impossible to tell what was inside from the outside.

After carefully checking the things on the ground, Zuo Feng pondered for a while and said: "Next, we have to deal with these things. I'm afraid it's not enough for just the two of us. By the way, do you want to go back to your home as well? Help me clean up."

Zuo Hou scratched his head and said with a smile: "You don't know how there are so many things in my house that need to be sorted out. It's not like your father who is a good carpenter and needs more things. Besides, it's all on your side. It’s more important.”

Zuo Feng waved his hand and said, "Don't worry about my family, Shen Die has gone back to help."

After a moment of hesitation, he continued: "See if we can find some people to help. For my plan, the two of us plus Shen Die are still not enough."

Zuo Hou thought for a while and said with some embarrassment: "The people responsible for escorting the hunting group are busy preparing weapons and some defensive measures at the moment, and they probably won't listen to your orders. After thinking about it, this I’m afraid I still have to go to your old enemy.”

"Old enemy?"

Zuo Feng repeated it softly, and Fujikata's unkind face appeared in his mind. After thinking for a moment with furrowed brows, he said helplessly.

"Hey, even though I hate this guy, I have no choice but to ask him this time. For the safety of many people in Zuojia Village, I don't think he will embarrass me on this matter."

In the square outside the village, a thin young man earnestly explained his intentions to the boy opposite.

"What? It's just a dream to call someone from our Young Regiment. Zuo Feng, do you think that if you defeat me, you can become the leader of the Young Regiment?"

The person who spoke had a look of disdain on his face and an extremely unkind tone. He sternly refused without even hearing the words. The thin boy opposite him was naturally Zuo Feng.

Zuo Feng let out a sigh of relief and wanted to say something, but was pulled away by Zuo Hou who couldn't stand him.

"No need to beg this guy. I just thought of a way to solve your problem."

Zuo Feng originally wanted to say a few more words, but after hearing Zuo Hou's words, he didn't bother to pay attention to Teng Fang and quickly followed Zuo Hou.
