Chapter 451: Turn off the fire on the south bank

Zuo Feng turned his head to look at Su Yan. When his eyes met Su Yan's, Zuo Feng saw what Su Yan was thinking, and Su Yan also understood what Zuo Feng meant.

Zuo Feng believed that Su Yan should know something about Mao Jie's various arrangements. He was going to look at Su Yan's expression and judge the general situation. But Su Yan turned to look at Zuo Feng at this time, as if she guessed that Zuo Feng would have questions at this time.

Su Yan smiled and nodded, indicating that Zuo Feng's guess was correct. But Zuo Feng looked back with embarrassment, and the atmosphere between the two suddenly became awkward.

Amber smiled at the two of them, and suddenly said at this time: "Brother Shen Feng, I heard that during the time you were injured, the eldest young master had always asked Miss Su Yan to take care of you. I didn't expect that in just a few days, you two have become so familiar with each other."

At this time, Su Yan couldn't help but put on a touch of shyness on her face, and quickly turned her head to the side, pretending not to hear. Zuo Feng couldn't pretend he didn't hear it, so he could only change the subject and said: "Brother Amber, you don't seem to care about Li Yuan's whereabouts. If I remember correctly, he should be your playmate who grew up with you."

Hearing Zuo Feng mention Li Yuan, Amber seemed to suddenly become serious. With his eyes looking at the dock on the north bank, he slowly said: "Li Yuan was selected by the Kang family earlier than me. His talent is actually better than mine. Before the age of fifteen, his cultivation progressed very fast, and he was also the best choice among our group.

But for some reason, he chose to betray the eldest young master later. I think it was from that time that his cultivation speed continued to slow down. Now I am only one step away from him. If we are fair and absolute, it is still unknown who will live and who will die."

Amber's words were sonorous and powerful, but Zuo Feng could hear that these were not all Amber's heartfelt words, or he dared to say them after filtering the words in his heart.

After a little hesitation, Zuo Feng roughly understood the reason. Amber and Su Yan, who was beside him at the moment, were representatives of two classes in the aristocratic family. Although Su Yan seemed to be a maid in the Kang family, in fact, Su Yan did not need to be taken seriously by the important figures of the Kang family, even the third elder, so in the eyes of most people, Su Yan was also a master in the Kang family.

This Amber was completely different. Compared with ordinary guards or ordinary warriors raised in the family, his status was definitely higher. He was the closest person to the master, but his status was still a servant. Then his status would not allow him to speak without scruples, especially when Su Yan was still around.

In fact, Zuo Feng originally just wanted to change the topic, and did not want himself and Su Yan to continue to be teased by Amber in this awkward atmosphere.

But after he saw Amber, it was easy for him to think of Li Yuan's appearance. The two people had a great contrast in both figure and appearance, but the strange thing was that they were somewhat similar in temperament. They all have a cold and serious appearance, and they are even more serious when doing things.

Zuo Feng felt an urgent atmosphere from them, which made him very uncomfortable. Originally, everyone worked together, united and worked towards a common goal. Zuo Feng felt that it would be a pleasant thing in life. But like Amber and the others, not only do they have to think about their masters all the time, but they are also ready to sacrifice their lives for their masters at any time. This way makes Zuo Feng not like it very much, or he rejects it from the bottom of his heart.

If it weren't for this, Zuo Feng might not have rejected An Xiong's invitation at the beginning, and then he would have avoided the call of the Ye Lin Empire at all costs. He hopes that he can become really strong, instead of relying on someone or a force to become strong, because if you use other people's resources, sooner or later you will need to pay double.

Thinking of this, Zuo Feng looked far away in the direction of the north bank, where the battle was in full swing. Those warriors who are fighting desperately for their own forces are all repaying the debts they owed.

Most of these people come from poor backgrounds and do not have very good cultivation talents. Such people will still be cultivated by forces, the purpose is to have more cannon fodder and more abandoned children in their hands.

Whether it is the low-level disciples of Guilingmen or the warriors under Mao Jie, these people may have been like Liu San and Tiezhu, whom Zuo Feng knew at the beginning, and may never have the hope of entering the realm of bone refining in their lifetime.

But the forces they belong to gave them opportunities and told them that they could improve their cultivation or complete the task smoothly, and their status would continue to rise.

But most talents are destined from the day they are born, and there is almost no possibility of changing how much they can achieve. Even with more cultivation resources, no one can turn a stone into gold. At most, they can only make the stone harder, which is not much different from those slightly fragile stones.

However, their fate has hardly changed, that is, they will eventually contribute all of themselves to the forces they belong to. The reason why Zuo Feng has so many feelings about this is because Teng Xiaoyun told him about his tragic experience before he died.

Teng Xiaoyun can be considered a person with excellent cultivation talent. If he had not been injured, he would definitely not be worse than those princess-level figures like Linlang. However, no matter how high his talent is, he can't escape the fate of being abandoned in the end. Teng Xiaoyun saw through this, and Zuo Feng now also deeply understands this.

Thinking of this, Zuo Feng glanced at Amber beside him again, and secretly made up his mind. He would never treat his friends in his village the same way he treated these people. Even if he occupied a high position one day, he would definitely find another way to train talents, and would never use this method to train a group of subordinates who were only used for sacrifice.

At this moment, Zuo Feng suddenly felt that the sky suddenly became brighter, and the entire wide river surface was instantly illuminated in a white expanse. Immediately afterwards, waves of strong shocks came from the water surface, causing the hull to shake constantly.

Several dull explosions almost sounded together, and the sound was not the kind of thunder and lightning, but the kind of low roar rolling in.

Zuo Feng and the other four almost looked up at the south bank at the same time, because the explosion sounded there. The moment Zuo Feng saw the explosion, he looked at Su Yan with some surprise. Zuo Feng guessed that the explosion was most likely caused by the poisonous smoke firearms, because in addition to the dazzling white light, one could also see thick smoke rising like mist.

It would not have been possible to see such a scene except for the poisonous smoke, but the explosion of the poisonous smoke firearms was far beyond Zuo Feng's expectations. These firearms were originally hidden at the dock. If Mao Jie's action was successful, there should not have been a firearm explosion.

But the firearms in front of him did explode. It is not known how much damage it will cause, but does this mean that Mao Jie's action has failed? It is not just Zuo Feng who guessed this. After seeing Su Yan's expression, he realized that there was someone else who had the same judgment as him.

The fire on the dock shone brightly, and then it could be seen that there were ships burning, and shops were engulfed by flames. The warriors who participated in the battle seemed extremely small in such an explosion. In an instant, more than a dozen warriors were engulfed by the flames, but because of the distance, they could not see which side the dead warriors belonged to.

Shortly after the incident at the dock, there were continuous lights of fire inside Xinjun City. This time, Zuo Feng also clearly saw the explosion of the poisonous fireworks. The huge white light would instantly light up the surrounding sky, but the light disappeared in just a moment.

Then a large flame would rise from the location where the white light was emitted, which could cover the surrounding area of ​​50 to 60 feet. At the same time, the gray mist around the flames dispersed, and spread to the surroundings with the fluctuations of the flames and explosions.

The four people frowned and watched the explosion of the poisonous fireworks, and everyone's expression was different. Amber looked sad and compassionate, and I don't know if he was worried about the safety of the two apprentices, or sighing for the innocent people living in Xinjun City.

Amber's eyes were surprised and uncertain. He was the only one among the few people present who didn't know about the existence of poisonous fireworks. Because what happened before was too bizarre, Su Yan and Amber didn't figure it out, and naturally no one would tell him about these situations, so Amber might still be wondering how the white light was emitted.

Su Yan's expression was extremely complicated, and every time the poisonous fireworks exploded, her body would shake unconsciously. After a while, she quietly turned her head to look at Zuo Feng beside her, and her eyes seemed to say.

'Everything is just as you expected before. The enemy is indeed well prepared. Things have exceeded the initial estimate. I am afraid that Mao Jie will hardly win the final victory this time. '

When Su Yan firmly believed that Mao Jie would win, Zuo Feng had poured cold water on him. Now that Su Yan is very pessimistic about the final outcome of tonight, Zuo Feng smiled and shook his head.

It seems to mean, 'It's too early to make a conclusion now. Things may not be as bad as you think. So we have to wait until everything is settled. '

Su Yan was also half-believing and half-doubting Zuo Feng's judgment. In the end, he still retracted his gaze with a gloomy face.

At this time, Zuo Feng subconsciously glanced at Su Yan's hair that was blown back by the wind, and suddenly he seemed to remember something important. Then Zuo Feng took out several medicine bags from his arms and threw one to Amber at the back of the boat. Amber and Su Yan beside him also stuffed one to each.

Then he said hurriedly: "This is the detoxification powder. Everyone, take it quickly."
