Chapter 5627 Cold Sweat

Zhang Yifeng raised his finger and calculated the time, and estimated that Xiang Zhen should have cleared out the remaining bandits in the city.

If only Xiang Zhen led people to go, it would not be so fast.

But this time, Su Zhirou and others also went with him.

Even if the others did not take action, with Zhirou's strength in the Immortal Venerable Realm, she could sweep away this gang of bandits.

As expected, after Zhang Yifeng lowered the barrier in the reception room, a sound of footsteps came from outside the door.

The three of them walked out together and saw that Xiang Zhen had indeed returned safely with the others.

Everyone was dressed in dust, and they came back the same way they went out.

There was only one person who was different, and Lei Ao was holding the hilt of the Thunder God Sword tightly, and his body was still trembling slightly.

There were still traces of blood on his face and body, as if he had just crawled out of a mountain of corpses and a sea of blood.

Zhang Yifeng saw that there was not much difference, he had known for a long time that Lei Ao would definitely return in this appearance after this trip.

After all, these bandits were basically involved in the extermination of the Lei family. Lei Ao, who was eager for revenge, would not let any of them go.

Xiang Zhen kept his eyes on Lei Ao as he walked along, his eyes full of concern.

It seems that this bandit-suppression trip has increased his worries about Lei Ao.

"Zhang Daoyou, you are back so soon?"

Xiang Zhen was concerned about Lei Ao's condition all the way, and only noticed Zhang Yifeng and the other two when he got closer.

This time, going to suppress the bandits was beyond his expectations.

Before Xiang Zhen had people surround the hiding place of the bandits, Su Zhirou and her group went straight in.

In a short while, all the hundreds of bandits hiding inside were killed, leaving only the leader who was pulled out.

And at Lei Ao's insistence, the leader was also killed by him personally.

Later, Lei Ao also learned a lot, and knew to quickly follow Su Zhirou and the others to kill into the bandit's nest.

In just such a short time, all the bandits hiding in Beihai City were wiped out.

If it had been before, Xiang Zhen would not have dared to dream of this.

At the same time, after this bandit suppression, Xiang Zhen was also very scared.

With these bandits hiding in Beihai City, they are fully capable of slaughtering the entire City Lord's Mansion silently.

Fortunately, Zhang Yifeng helped, otherwise he would have been wiped out by these bandits alone.

What surprised Xiang Zhen even more was that Zhang Yifeng and his three men returned to the City Lord's Mansion even faster than them.

Looking at the three people with dust-free clothes, Xiang Zhen hesitated for a moment and asked: "Friend Zhang, is it that the shopkeeper of Tianxianglou didn't give you face?"

"In that case, why don't you let me go there in person!"

After thinking again and again, Xiang Zhen still felt that Zhang Yifeng and his three men came back so quickly, and they probably didn't achieve any results in Tianxianglou.

As the Lord of Beihai City, he thought that if he went there with his status and pressured others, he would surely make the shopkeeper of Tianxianglou obey his orders.

"No need, Lord Xiang, I have already caught the guy who secretly controlled these bandits."

"But you came back a little late, and the man has been blasted to pieces."

Zhang Yifeng spoke calmly and told Xiang Zhen what happened when he was away.

When Xiang Zhen heard that the person who controlled the bandits was Gu Huang, the chief steward who had been in charge of internal affairs in his mansion, he couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat.

"What? No wonder the person I secretly sent to investigate died so easily in the hands of those bandits!"

Xiang Zhen gritted his teeth and shouted in a low voice, with indignation flashing in his eyes.

In the entire City Lord's Mansion, Xiang Zhen trusted the chief steward Gu Huang the most.

When he was in danger, Gu Huang saved his life regardless of his own life.

Therefore, in the entire City Lord's Mansion, Xiang Zhen would not hide anything from Gu Huang, no matter how big or small.

He would even tell the other party many secrets and discuss countermeasures with him in private.

Xiang Zhen thought about it day and night, but he probably would not have thought that Gu Huang was the one who secretly controlled the chaos in Beihai City.

"Fortunately, I have the help of Fellow Daoist Zhang, otherwise I would have died in the hands of this traitor sooner or later!"

"It's a pity that I can't kill this traitor myself, but at least Beihai City is now completely stable."

Xiang Zhen gritted his teeth and said.

"No, Lord Xiang may have misunderstood. Gu Huang is at most a small fish."

"There is someone else who really disturbed Beihai City, but he should not be in Beihai City at present."

Zhang Yifeng shook his head and then expressed his analysis of the current situation.

Hearing what Zhang Yifeng said, beads of sweat gradually rolled down Xiang Zhen's forehead.

"Young, young supreme? Such an existence would actually stare at the God's Treasury."

Xiang Zhen lowered his head and said in a solemn voice.

It seems that he still underestimated the temptation of the Imperial Treasury to those who are interested.

"Now that the chaos in Beihai City has been settled, the young supreme behind the scenes is not in Beihai City and will not come for a while. Lord Xiang can rest assured."

"But before setting off to find the Imperial Treasury, I have something I want to ask Lord Xiang alone."

Zhang Yifeng smiled and bowed to Xiang Zhen.

"Fellow Daoist Zhang, there is no need to be polite. Your arrival not only solved my crisis, but also helped Beihai City avoid a catastrophe."

"No matter what Fellow Daoist Zhang wants to ask, I will tell you everything I know!"

Xiang Zhen's expression became serious when he heard what Zhang Yifeng said, and he replied seriously.

Zhang Yifeng nodded in response, and then led Xiang Zhen into the reception room behind him.

Xuanyuan Li didn't know what Zhang Yifeng wanted to talk to Xiang Zhen about, but he didn't follow him into the reception room.

Instead, he grabbed Ji Dali who wanted to go in with him.

In the reception room, Zhang Yifeng raised his hand to raise the barrier, blocking all possibilities of eavesdropping on the conversation between the two.

"Lord Xiang, you should know that in addition to the key to the imperial treasury, the Lei family also has a map of the route to the imperial treasury, right?"

Zhang Yifeng stared at Xiang Zhen and asked in a low voice.

"Where did you learn about this, Fellow Daoist Zhang?"

Xiang Zhen swallowed his saliva and looked at Zhang Yifeng in astonishment.

"Of course, the head and wife of the Lei family told me about this, and not only that, they also gave me this map."

As Zhang Yifeng smiled, the map appeared in his palm.

"It seems that he has recognized the kindness of Fellow Daoist Zhang. In this case, there is no need for me to hide anything."

"Fellow Daoist Zhang, feel free to ask anything about the Imperial Treasury."

After staring at the route map in Zhang Yifeng's hand for a long time, Xiang Zhen breathed a sigh of relief.

"It seems that Lord Xiang knows much more than I thought."

"Then I won't go into details. May I ask Lord Xiang if he can tell me the origin of the Imperial Treasury?"

Zhang Yifeng's eyes flashed with brilliance when he heard this, knowing that he was not wrong.

Xiang Zhen was hiding far more secrets than he thought.
