Chapter 230: Visitors

Looking at Zuo Feng's helpless expression, Kang Zhen could only sigh in his heart. He also sent people to secretly investigate the old man beside Zuo Feng, but the result was that the old man was even more mysterious than the city lord. This person's cultivation and origin are unknown. It is only known that this person appeared in Luancheng half a year ago, and as soon as he arrived in Luancheng, he was immediately treated with the highest courtesy by the city lord of Luancheng.

The city lord of Luancheng even cleared a residential area in Luancheng just to give this mysterious old man a quiet place to rest. But this old man is even more mysterious. Except for visiting the city lord regularly, he wanders around like a beggar in rags. Although many people are curious about the identity of the old man, no force can find out the old man's background.

Originally, Kang Zhen wanted to use this friendship with Zuo Feng to find out some secrets of the old man or the city lord, so as to facilitate his family's future transactions in Luancheng. But now it seems that if Zuo Feng really didn't know, then both of them had specifically told Zuo Feng.

"Don't be surprised, my friend. We, the noble families who often hang out in Luan City, are very concerned about all kinds of news. Since you have something to hide, I will not make it difficult for you. I originally wanted to invite you to my place and taste the cooking skills of our chef, but it seems that we can only choose another day."

Kang Zhen has always left a good impression on Zuo Feng, but Zuo Feng couldn't answer his questions, and he felt a little sorry. After thinking for a while, Zuo Feng said, "Since Uncle Kang has invited you so kindly, I will definitely visit you some other day."

Hearing Zuo Feng say this, Kang Zhen immediately smiled and said with a big laugh, "Okay, okay, since you said that, I will prepare good food and wine tomorrow and ask someone to invite you. You must come to the gathering then."

"Of course, of course."

The two of them exchanged a few more polite words before leaving. Zuo Feng also learned most of the situation in Luan City from Yao Xun, but it is obvious that Kang Zhen should be more familiar with this place, so Zuo Feng also wants to learn more from Kang Zhen, especially the young master Kui Xiang who was very unfriendly to him today.

In fact, Zuo Feng also cares about some things, that is, these forces participated in the auction this time, and it seems that they have received some information about the auction items before, and deliberately came for some or some items. Zuo Feng did not arrogantly think that he was qualified to compete with these big forces, but he was naturally very curious about being valued by these people. If there is any news about the soul liquid, it will be a huge gain for him.

While Zuo Feng was thinking, he felt that the pedestrians around him suddenly became sparse, as if they suddenly became like this after entering the side street where the straw hut was located. Before, Zuo Feng only had some vague guesses, but tonight, after he saw the heroine city lord of Luan City with his own eyes, he also felt the unusual relationship between the city lord and Yao Xun.

More than a dozen houses in this side street have been deserted. It can be said that this place was specially arranged by Li Shang for Yao Xun. However, Yao Xun and Li Shang were obviously old acquaintances, but he was not very clear about some things about Yao Xun. Li Shang had asked Zuo Feng many questions in a roundabout way before. At first, Zuo Feng was also wary and thought that the other party wanted to explore his background, but later he found that it was not the case at all. Li Shang seemed to care more about what kind of relationship he had with Yao Xun.

Suddenly, Li Shang's expression when he heard that he was interested in refining appeared in his mind. This expression was almost exactly the same as when Yao Xun heard him say it in the VIP room. 'What is the connection between these two people, and what special meaning do I have for Yao Xun or Li Shang?'

Zuo Feng walked towards the straw hut while constantly thinking about these questions in his mind. Soon Zuo Feng saw the straw hut from a distance, but at this time there were several strangers outside the straw hut. These people stood outside the straw hut very respectfully and did not dare to disturb Yao Xun in the straw hut.

Yao Xun simply ignored the people outside the hut, but lay comfortably on the pile of dry grass that belonged to him, and drank a mouthful of it every once in a while, without even blinking an eye at the people around him.

Zuo Feng looked at such a strange scene, and came outside the hut, and said casually: "Senior, these people are all here to see you, have you caused any trouble again?" Zuo Feng's words were full of Yao Xun's usual tone, and his tone was deliberately old-fashioned as if he was lecturing someone.

"Humph, it's just right that you are back. All these troubles are caused by you, and you are the first to complain. You should take these away quickly, and don't disturb my sweet dreams here."

Zuo Feng became more and more confused as he listened, and finally opened his eyes wide and looked at the strangers around him. These people were all dressed very exquisitely, at least they were not worse than the middle-aged man who gave him the VIP card. And judging from the aura of several people, they all had the strength of the late stage of bone refining and close to the stage of tendon hardening.

"Hey, this must be Shen Feng, Master Shen. These are some small gifts prepared by my master for you. They are not very valuable, but my master hopes to get closer to Master Shen."

The first person to speak was a bald middle-aged man. While speaking, the man took out a wooden box from his arms. When the wooden box was opened, six spiritual stones with light green light were revealed. Zuo Feng saw at a glance that these spiritual stones were all of medium quality. Obviously, the "small gift" he mentioned was just a polite word.

Zuo Feng was not a fool. He understood the principle of receiving no reward for no merit. He glanced at the wooden box and said with a slightly dull expression: "I am not familiar with your master, so naturally this gift will not Accept it. If you have something to say, you can just say it directly, and there is no need to beat around the bush."

There were two middle-aged men next to them. They saw the bald middle-aged man speaking first, with displeasure on their faces. Seeing Zuo Feng acting so coldly at this time, both of them also showed secret joy.

The bald middle-aged man was very surprised to see Zuo Feng unmoved by the spiritual light stone in his hand, but the smile on his face was still as bright as before, and he said quickly: "My master really wants to be with Shen Master, these are just small thoughts. As long as the master is willing to go with me to meet my master, he will definitely give you a generous gift. "

Zuo Feng looked at the bald middle-aged man in front of him with a half-smile, shook his head slowly, and said: "I have a lot of things to do these days. Please go back and tell your master that I will definitely visit you if I can be free."

Anyone with a discerning eye would know that these remarks were perfunctory. Zuo Feng didn't even bother to ask who the owner of this guy was. It was just a polite word to say that he was visiting.

The middle-aged man could naturally tell it, but he still smiled and said: "My master is the eldest son of the Wu family in Yelinnan County. Our Wu family has been mining magnetic stones for generations. I think the master should have heard about it." "

Zuo Feng couldn't help but nodded subconsciously, and the joy on the bald man's face became a little more intense. In his opinion, how could the people who participated in the Luancheng auction have heard about their Wu family in Nan County? . But he couldn't guess what Zuo Feng was thinking, because Zuo Feng nodded just to say that he knew about the "magnetic spirit stone".

When he was cultivating in the Yancheng City Lord's Mansion, the quiet room where he was located was inlaid with several magnetic spiritual stones. At that time, he had no idea about such things. Later, he also accidentally discovered that this quiet room could block his own mental exploration. Later, he learned about the existence of this kind of ore from Uncle Tian, ​​and the price of this kind of ore was extremely expensive, and there was even a saying that a thousand pounds of gold could be exchanged for a dust of dust.

Zuo Feng naturally knew that this was an exaggeration. When their trading house in Zuojia Village held an auction, they once auctioned a magnetic stone the size of a fingernail. At that time, the price of the magnetic spirit stone was 7,000 gold coins, and their trading house only auctioned it on their behalf, and in the end they only earned 200 gold coins.

Because of this, Zuo Feng still has a deep understanding of the magnetic spirit stone, but this does not make Zuo Feng have any good impression of the eldest son of the Wu family. As a courtesy, one must ask for something. Zuo Feng was already in trouble, so naturally he didn't want to cause any more trouble to him.

Including the bald man, the other two people were paying attention to the changes in Zuo Feng's expression. Seeing that Zuo Feng just smiled politely in the end, the bald man could not help but show suspicion, while the other two people had expressions on their faces. Last happy.

At this time, a short and thin middle-aged man next to him saw the opportunity and spoke first: "Hello, Master Shen, I am a married man from Ganwei County, Xuanwu. Our family has been famous for cultivating and mining various rare medicinal materials for generations. This This time our eldest brother-in-law wanted to invite Master Shen to take some time to get together. As long as Master Shen takes the time to go there, I guarantee that the trip will be worthwhile. "

As the short and thin middle-aged man spoke, he showed a hint of "you know" smile. Zuo Feng couldn't help but feel moved when he heard that the other party said that he wanted to specialize in medicinal materials business.

"You are a family that cultivates medicinal materials in the Xuanwu Empire. Aren't you the same as the Kang family in Luan City now?"

The short and thin middle-aged man was stunned for a moment when Zuo Feng mentioned the Kang family, and then he explained with a smile: "Master Shen seems not very familiar with our Xuanwu. The Kang family is famous for refining medicine for generations, and most of their medicinal materials are They were all purchased from other places, and a small number of them were dug in the mountains by their family members.”

After listening to this, Zuo Feng had some understanding of the Kang family. At first, he only knew that the Kang family was engaged in business related to medicinal materials, but he did not expect that they were mainly engaged in refining medicine.

"Since the master is interested in Xuanwu, why not come with me to meet my eldest brother-in-law, who admires the master very much. Moreover, our family is also very familiar with Xuanwu matters, so I guarantee that we can satisfy the master."

Although Zuo Feng really wanted to know about the situation in the Xuanwu Empire at this time, it was obvious that this person, like the others, came here to ask for something from him, so he was naturally unwilling to accept the invitation.

At this moment, heavy footsteps were heard in the distance, and everyone followed the sound. I saw a tall and plump figure walking slowly towards the hay shed.
