"There are still people staring at the Zhao family?"

As the middle-aged man spoke, he raised his head and said to the air in front of him, "Except for one alive, all the others are corpses, no blood."

"Yes!!" A voice suddenly came from the air.

Afterwards, there were a few low, miserable cries from around, but the cries seemed to be blocked by something, very small.

Then, a few white figures flashed past, and three people in white clothes, with their heads covered and only their eyes exposed, appeared in front of the middle-aged man.

These masked men were all half kneeling, each holding one or two corpses in their hands.

The neck bones of that corpse were broken, his face was blue and purple, his eyes were protruding, and blood was oozing out.Apparently excruciating pain before death.

Four dead bodies, plus one alive.

The living jaw was removed, the person was knocked unconscious, and his hands and feet were bent and deformed.

"My lord, there are five people in total, all here." One of the masked men in white said.

"Very good." The middle-aged man nodded: "These people are lurking by the side of the road, trying to assassinate me... My lord must be plotting something wrong, maybe they are spies of the enemy country. You send people back to the prison for strict interrogation. Be sure to find out who has the wrong intentions, and I will take you to ransack your family and exterminate your clan later."

"Yes!!" The masked man in white responded, and then the three of them disappeared along with the four corpses.

And at this time, a horse ran up from the corner of the street behind, and when it got close, the young cavalryman jumped off the horse, ran in front of the middle-aged man, and whispered: "My lord, there is news."

"Say."

"Yes." The cavalryman responded, and leaned closer to the middle-aged man's ear, and said softly, "It's the news from the people sent by the Suluo City Office. They said it was 'Suluo City', 'Yanyue Pass',' On the necessary road section between the three places of Yuyun City and Iron Thorn City, no one from the Zhao family caravan passed by... and there was no trace of Huangfu and others, nor did he receive any news from Huangfu .”

A cold light flashed in the middle-aged man's eyes: "Didn't see any trace of Huangfu and others?!! Not even news?!"

"Yes. We can't wait for any news over there, so we have already sent people to investigate the situation. We will first send a message to Feiying. Further news will not be known until later."

The middle-aged man listened and nodded solemnly.Then he said: "The action over there is too slow. It took so long to get the news and warn them. If you are still so slow in the future, send one of your little fingers back to apologize."

"Yes." The cavalryman said, and then said: "In addition, after checking the information, there is no one named Lin Feng among the outstanding talents of the big family and the major sects. It is probably a pseudonym, or it is hidden. A new generation of powerhouses who have risen up. I am afraid that we will have to wait for the news from Jingli to know about the further situation."

The middle-aged man nodded, pondered for a moment, then waved his hand: "Go."

After saying that, someone came forward and knocked on the door of Zhao Mansion.

Old Li, the gatekeeper, opened the door and saw a servant in Tsing Yi knocking on the door, and saw a large group of people standing outside, so he asked, "Are you..."

"My lord is an acquaintance of Mr. 'Oscar' in your house. Mr. 'Oscar' once deposited something with my lord, and he was going to return it a long time ago. However, he happened to be away from Iron Thorn City some time ago, and returned to Iron Thorn City. Afterwards, I heard that Mr. Oscar had left, and I felt quite regretful. Fortunately, this morning, I learned that Ms. Zhao from your residence returned, and Mr. Oscar would accompany me if I wanted to, so I came to visit. Announce, sir."

The servant in Tsing Yi respectfully handed over the greeting card.

The old man Li said: "Thank you for your distinguished guests. However, I'm afraid you will be disappointed. Mr. 'Oscar' did not come back with Miss this time."

The servant in Tsing Yi said: "My master also thought that Mr. 'Oscar' might not come back with him, so if he can't see Mr. 'Oscar', then it's the same to visit Ms. Zhao in your house. As long as Mr. 'Oscar' can survive If you return the things you have, it will be regarded as an end of your mind. In this case, Mr. Lao will let you know."

The old Li pondered for a while, and said: "Then please wait here first, and I will ask Miss for instructions."

With that said, he took the greeting card and entered the inner courtyard.

The mansion bought by the Zhao family is quite spacious. Zhao Bingyan and his daughter are in the west wing. When they saw Lao Li sending in the greeting card, they felt a little strange and wondered, "Why would Uncle Oscar leave things in someone else's house?" where?"

Looking at the greeting post, I saw "Liu Quan" written on it, which probably wasn't a pseudonym.

Why does Zhao Bingyan think it's not a fake name?Here, I have to say a few words.

In other words, there is a law of the Zhanxuan Empire, that is, "Those who break into a private house without permission can be killed, and they are not guilty."

The so-called trespassing means breaking in without an official document, and the owner of the private house can kill the other party.

This is the iron law.

Therefore, in order to prevent people from taking advantage of the loopholes in this law, a strange custom has been formed in this world: Anyone who visits a rich family or a guest from a different place must offer a greeting card, and wait until the host's family pays a visit there. After leaving your mark, you must return it to the visitor.

This reply is a proof, with this proof, there is no need to worry about being lured into the mansion and then killed.

Those who didn't post back would be wronged if they died.

However, some people may have doubts: If someone was killed after entering the mansion, and then his "return post" was taken away, wouldn't he die unjustly?

Well, yes, indeed.

Here, it embodies the cruelty of the jungle in this world.

"Since you don't even have the strength to protect yourself, and you don't even have the strength to protect yourself and ask for help, it proves that it is easy for the other party to pinch you to death. With such a disparity in strength and status, the weak deserve death. The strong , should be privileged."

These are the original words of the founding emperor of the Zhanxuan Empire.It is very ruthless, but it also confirms the fact that the strong are respected in this empire, and the weak prey on the strong.

At the same time, it also caused a consequence: people who are not strong enough dare not easily visit someone who is too high in status and has a bad relationship with him.Even if you go to visit, you will be divided into the front hall, middle hall, and main hall according to your strength.

With weak strength, they dare not easily penetrate into the depths of the opponent's house.

Of course, common people's houses don't have so many halls, and they are not strong, and they don't pay so much attention.

Generally, civilians without martial arts skills will not leave their hometown easily. The neighbors can testify to many things, and no one will take advantage of this legal loophole...

Let's not talk about gossip, let's get down to business, just say that for the sake of safety, most of the people who send greetings use their real names, and rarely use pseudonyms.

Zhao Bingyan asked: "Sister Hongchun, have you heard of Liu Quan?"

Ji Hongchun shook his head.

Zhao Bingyan pondered for a moment, then suddenly his eyes lit up: "Could it be... Uncle Oscar kept the real Douyuan Box with Liu Quan, and he is sending it back now?"

Ji Hongchun was dumbfounded: "Is this impossible?"

Zhao Bingyan said: "It shouldn't matter if we meet him. The big deal...hehe, we can make the meeting place closer to Lin Feng's retreat. If we are in danger, he will come out to save us."

Ji Hongchun was speechless for a while.

Then he said: "It's up to the young lady to make up her mind."

So, Zhao Bingyan picked up the brush, and wrote the three characters Zhao Bingyan and the date on it, as a reply, and asked Lao Li to send it out.

In this world, the difference between men and women is not taken very seriously, so women can also receive foreigners.

But he said that the man named Liu Quan came to visit Zhao Bingyan, but Lin Feng encountered a little trouble during the retreat process.

Since he inherited Zhao Yun's memory in the game, the matter of refining the blood was easily done. Moreover, he quickly drew a "Tai Chi Talisman" on the skin of the "Purple Gold Bat-Winged Tiger".

Now he discovered that the purple-gold batwing tiger seems to have three attributes of "ice", "fire" and "thunder".The grudge of the ice attribute is blue, the grudge of the fire attribute is red, and the grudge of the thunder attribute is a little more complicated, but one of them is golden.

Adding up the three colors is the color of purple gold.I just don't know why the "Purple Gold Batwing Tiger" didn't burst out the attribute power contained in its own fighting spirit that day.

Therefore, it is difficult to determine the effect of the successful "Tai Chi Talisman" he drew, so he tried it on the spot.

He injected a burst of true energy, and the Tai Chi Talisman instantly burned, turning into a ball of red and blue interlaced light, flew up suddenly, hit the ground, and suddenly turned into a Tai Chi Talisman.

If it's in the game, that's all.

But now, a translucent phantom of a "Purple Gold Bat-Winged Tiger" suddenly emerged from the "Tai Chi Formation" shining on the ground, and with a tiger roar, it rushed towards Lin Feng all at once. in the mind.

In an instant, he felt his eyes dim, and in a trance, he turned into a "Purple Gold Bat-Winged Tiger" roaring proudly in the mountains and forests.In my mind, there were actually many memory fragments about the "Purple Gold Batwing Tiger".

At the same time, the ice-cold zhenqi in the body circulated rapidly without any control, and crazily circulated along the twelve orthodox meridians and eight meridians in the body.

And the alchemy furnace he put on the table casually, some unused "talisman ink", unexpectedly released a cloud of purple mist inexplicably, and the mist floated up.Then, being pulled by a mysterious force, it was injected into Lin Feng's body from nostrils at once, allowing the true energy in his body to return to its peak state in an instant, and there was a slight improvement in his cultivation. improvement.Although the improvement is not much, it is equivalent to one or two weeks of practice.

When everything returned to calm, Lin Feng opened his eyes, looked at the red and black talisman ink on the table in disbelief, and murmured: "How could this happen?"

Suddenly, with a movement in my heart and a wave of my right hand, the storage wrist (bracelet) burst into a burst of light, and a crystal clear purple-gold oval gem flew out of it—it was the magic core of the purple-gold batwing tiger.

Before, Lin Feng thought that perhaps adding some magic core powder to the "talisman ink" might have a better effect.

"If it's really because of the magic core powder, maybe I've found a way to improve my cultivation quickly."
