Chapter 771: Be prepared for danger

Zuo Feng didn't need to go out, as he had a better grasp of the situation outside. Although Zuo Feng couldn't find out all the people who were spying on him, he had a rough idea in his mind.

As for those people hiding in the dark, Zuo Feng didn't take them too seriously. At least such people may have the intention of stealing but not the courage. People who really take action will not be so timid. People who make small moves behind his back will only make him feel upset, but rarely can they do anything that really threatens him.

Those who come to visit him openly make Zuo Feng more vigilant. They dare to come to him openly, even if their families and backgrounds may not be so strong, but Zuo Feng can vaguely see that there seems to be another behemoth behind the families behind these people.

Amber discussed with Zuo Feng, and they also came to a rough conclusion about the identity of the assassin. Speaking of which, this conclusion was still Zuo Feng's speculation, and Amber helped to provide some relevant information, from which he speculated.

In fact, the process of speculation is actually a process of screening all suspects. The targets were also locked on those who participated in the Linshan Villa competition that night.

Sulan, or the Su family, was in a dominant position in the whole thing, fueling the whole thing and trying to develop it in the direction they wanted most. But things went against their wishes. Zuo Feng, the unstable factor, finally successfully ruined all of Sulan's plans.

Sulan might hold a grudge against this, but with Sulan's style of doing things, she shouldn't do it now. Even if he had this idea, he wouldn't be so eager to take action against Zuo Feng. The Linshan Villa incident happened quite suddenly, and he wanted to give an explanation to other families in the empire, so he didn't want Zuo Feng to get into trouble for the time being. So Sulan's suspicion was the first person to be excluded by Zuo Feng.

The attitude of the city lord was the most unpredictable. Sometimes he seemed to want to get close to Zuo Feng, and even showed the intention of winning him over before. But in the final stage of the competition, the city lord had another 180-degree turn, and seemed to stand on the side of Sulan and Yao Zhen again. He definitely had his own ideas for standing on this side.

However, the result of the competition was ambiguous, and the city lord played a role of smoothing things over. Zuo Feng could only vaguely judge what he did, that is, the city lord wanted to get something from Zuo Feng, or what he wanted from Zuo Feng. Judging from this, the city lord was not without suspicion.

But the assassin's cultivation and assassination method did not match the strength of the city lord's mansion. If the city lord wanted to do it, he should always send a higher cultivation and a more stable method. The resources he could use were definitely the strongest of all parties at present, so there was no need to make it so mediocre, and there was even the possibility of failure.

Therefore, the city lord was not without suspicion, but this assassination was temporarily excluded by Zuo Feng.

Zhong Lao's attitude was very clear, but the human heart was the most elusive existence, and some things on the surface could not completely judge a person. Especially after Zuo Feng had experienced so many things, he would not easily trust anyone, so he also carefully analyzed Zhong Lao.

The conclusion was that there was no suspicion either, after all, Zhong Lao and his relationship was now very good. If Mr. Zhong really wanted to take action, he could have used softer means to trick him into a safe place before taking action. There was no need to go to the inn and take action in broad daylight, risking exposure and failure.

Yao Zhen and himself now have a deep conflict. If Yao Zhen would let him go, not only Zuo Feng would not believe it, but Yao Zhen himself would not believe it. But although Yao Zhen is a Yaozi, the power he can call on in Linshan County City should be very limited. After all, he has the Xuanwu Empire behind him, but he has not heard of any family power.

If Yao Zhen wants to take action, and he does not intend to come forward in person, he can only choose to borrow people from the city lord, which is even more unlikely. From the previous conflicts among the people, it can be seen that Yao Zhen does not intend to share some of the secrets he knows with others. He needs to obtain Zuo Feng's secrets alone.

The two young men who participated in the competition, although they also have families behind them to support them, also showed the intention of getting close to Yao Zhen. But if the family is allowed to participate, there must be benefits and interests in it, so the possibility of the two of them being tied to Yao Zhen is not great.

In addition, the two young men should have some concerns, that is, due to the relationship between the city lord and the Su family, it is not a good time for them to attack Zuo Feng, so they can also be excluded.

After such elimination and inference, almost all the people in the last round of the competition were eliminated. Amber thought that the previous speculation was wrong, and some people's motives and hearts were not fully understood, and they needed to be carefully analyzed.

But when Zuo Feng deduced at this time, he suddenly thought of a person he had almost forgotten. That was the painter Qi Gongzi who had invited him before. He was eliminated in the second round of the competition, so he also faded out of the sight of the two.

But Zuo Feng would not forget such a key figure. Although he was not a big shot, his family was a super family that was not inferior to the Su family.

If it were not for the scene seen in the training field before, Hua Qi might not really be taken seriously. But Hua Qi was clear and calm when dealing with problems, and he could accurately grasp the relationship between all parties. This is not something that ordinary people can do.

In addition, he also saw that the person in charge of the painter here also agreed with Hua Qi's opinion. From the fact that Su Lan of the Su family directly contacted Hua Qi to discuss the exchange conditions, it can be seen that Hua Qi must have a lot of connections in other families.

Maybe Hua Qi originally intended to compete for this marriage, or he might have other purposes in it, which is not known for the time being. But one thing is certain, Hua Qi has already had many calculations about him since he invited him. Thinking of these, Zuo Feng couldn't help but think of some other things.

What he did in the practice field that time, directly or indirectly affected the entire Linshan County City, and even Amber might not know this very well. But the painter's practice field, the practice room where he stayed, has undergone such a big change, Hua Qi should be very clear.

In addition, the practice room has changed, the spiritual energy of the practice rooms in other practice fields has been exhausted, but the painter's advanced practice room can always be used. If these details are verified by interested people, there will definitely be other speculations.

Hua Qi was a careful person. As long as he found these clues, he would lock Zuo Feng after careful speculation.

It was because Zuo Feng put his thoughts on Hua Qi that he felt a chill on his back after careful speculation. He was optimistic that what happened in the training field was over. He just broke a stone platform and there was nothing to trace.

Now it seems that there are traces of changes in the training room. The damaged pipeline that transmits spiritual energy in the training room he used at that time is also a clue. If he continues to be muddle-headed, he may be killed by Hua Qi without knowing it.

Zuo Feng roughly said his speculation, but he just skipped the changes in the training room. Although Amber also felt that some of his speculations were unfounded, he believed in Zuo Feng's judgment.

The two spent half a day discussing the whole thing. Sometimes they had to stop and receive the guests who came to visit.

Until the afternoon, suddenly no one came to the door, and it became unusually quiet outside. Originally, you could hear someone walking slowly outside from time to time, but now you can hardly hear any sound, and there is no sound even downstairs. This situation seems very strange.

Zuo Feng and Amber both instinctively sensed a hint of impending storm, but they still did not make any moves. They both knew that it was better to stay still than to move. Instead of rushing around, it is better to wait and see.

At the beginning, there were forces coming to visit, and Zuo Feng felt a little worried, but as more and more people came to visit, Amber's mood became heavier, and Zuo Feng's mood began to gradually improve.

Amber thought for a long time and didn't understand why Zuo Feng was in such a good mood. After hesitating for a long time, she finally asked.

Zuo Feng did not answer directly, but said: "Of course, the fewer enemies, the better, but when there are more wolves and less meat, more wolves may not necessarily be a good thing."

This reminder made Amber think about it for a while and figured out the reason. From this, he admired Zuo Feng's vision and perspective on the problem even more.

Just as Zuo Feng said, if it is a simple enemy, then the more there are, the more dangerous it is. Because the goal of these enemies is to kill you and destroy you, the enemies can easily reach a consensus on this point and work together to wipe you out.

But the current situation is very complicated. If you have to explain it simply, it is just as Zuo Feng summarized when he reminded you before, "There are more wolves and less meat."

The wolves here naturally refer to the enemies surrounding them, and the meat naturally refers to Zuo Feng. However, this meat is different from the simple killing before, because this "meat" can be simply said to be benefits.

At present, the forces in the city have their own ulterior motives, and each of them values ​​the benefits of Zuo Feng differently. In this case, the various forces cannot work together, but have to be cautious about each other, and even calculate and sabotage each other to maximize the benefits they get, or even monopolize the entire benefit.

It is because Zuo Feng saw this situation that his mood improved, and it was because Amber did not see it that he had been worried before, feeling that the end of the world would come at any time.

What he admired now was not only Zuo Feng's mind, but also his character. He was able to think about safety in such a dangerous situation without losing his composure. This is the style of a great general.
