Chapter 37: Poisoned Meals

Weird, weird indeed!

The Feng family, as one of the leading families in Luolong City today, should be in the right place, but he just peeked a few times when he was talking to Feng Liangbo, and the entire mansion was quiet, and it seemed that there were only a few maids and a few guards at the door standing guard.

Gu Xi's doubts suddenly rose in his heart, and there seemed to be only one Feng Liang and a young master of the Feng family in the Feng Mansion......

According to the information given to him by Yue Yan, the old man of the Feng family should stay in the Feng family, and the rest of the big names of the Feng family should not have left the Feng family.

I heard that the old man of the Feng family had been a general in the army before, and he also had a mid-stage cultivation in the refining body.

"In this way, the Feng family is silent and uninhabited, it is really a little weird, there must be ghosts in it, and Yue Yan can't believe all the news he gave, after all, he still has to seize the initiative first. Gu Xi couldn't help but think of it in his heart.

"Also, the imperial court specially sent a young military camp to destroy the Feng family, definitely considering the internal strength of the Feng family, it is impossible to send a team of their own people, the black shadow that Yue Yan saw yesterday is likely to be the reinforcements given by the imperial court. Gu Xi frowned, thinking of the black shadow, he always felt that the task of this trip was not as simple as it seemed.

Although he was far away and could only hear a few words from the conversation, he could conclude that this man was not an enemy.

Yue Hai once told him that it was very likely that behind the Feng family was the Chen family in the capital.

Yue Yan is different from Yue Qi, Yue Yan is a person who belongs to the Yue family in the capital, and the Yue family is an old opponent of the Chen family, so it is naturally impossible for Yue Yan to be a traitor.

"In any case, we must seize the time to find out the truth of the Feng family as soon as possible, so that we can take the initiative. Gu Xi was a little worried in his heart.

After sorting out the matters in his mind, Gu Xi slowly opened his golden pupils, looked around, and confirmed that no one was monitoring his mansion before he began to practice the physical quenching exercise.

He planned to wait until the evening to explore the Feng family, the current Feng family was empty, at most there were only one or two body refining cultivators, and if they were discovered, they would run away.

Now that he has decided, Gu Xi no longer has any worries in his heart, and a trace of blood qi on his body overflows, urging the body quenching skill to the extreme.

......

At dusk, the main courtyard of the Feng family.

The black-robed man was still sitting on the main seat, his eyes closed, and beside him stood two monks in the early stage of body refining.

Not long after, Feng Liangbo walked in from outside the door with his personal entourage, changed into a plain shirt, hugged a package tightly in his arms, and his face was disguised.

"Heh, it seems that the old man really treats you as a treasure, and he actually sent a mid-stage cultivator to follow you before leaving. The black-robed man glanced at the guards who were following Feng Liangbo, and said jokingly.

"Master Lu, don't talk so much, when are we leaving?" The guard raised his eyebrows, his face displeased.

He is the guard of the Feng family, and he is also a master in the middle stage of body refining, so let the bandits say this, he is really angry in his heart.

"As soon as possible, it is better to leave at once, lest the people of the young barracks catch up, and remember to bring everything you should bring. Lu Wencheng said with a grim face.

Feng Liang nodded thinly, remembering the matters recorded in the previous letter, and couldn't help but tighten the package in his arms.

Feng Liangbo thought for a moment and asked, "Then what should be the few body refining cultivators that my Feng family has recently gathered, and there is still a young genius among them!"

Lu Wencheng was stunned when he heard this, then lowered his head and muttered for a moment, raised his head suddenly, and said, "Kill!"

"What, Lord Lu, don't forget, there is also a person from the City Lord's Mansion inside, and that person is very likely to break through to the late stage of refining in the future!"

"Hmph, what about the young genius, we didn't have enough manpower when we came, and it was already very reluctant to escort you away, besides, you also said that person is a young genius of the City Lord's Mansion, and the City Lord's Mansion of Luolong City is also from the imperial court, if we grow up in the future, we will have one more big enemy on the west bank. Lu Wencheng flicked his sleeves and said coldly.

"That'...... All right. Feng Liangbo thought for a while, shook his head and sighed, he was quite sorry that the young genius he had found with great difficulty died like this.

"Let's go to the west gate, you should take care of the officers and soldiers guarding the city gate. Lu Wencheng asked.

"I asked my henchmen to do it, but I didn't expect that a few officers and soldiers guarding the city gate actually opened their mouths and asked me for nearly a hundred taels of silver before they were willing to let me go. Feng Liangbo said indignantly.

"It's done," Lu Wencheng nodded, and then called an entourage beside him, took out a small porcelain bottle from his waist, and ordered, "You stay in the Feng family first, and after killing those three people, you can find another way back to the West Bank." ”

"Yes!"

After the gray-clothed attendant took the porcelain vase, he responded.

"We have to move faster, there is a carriage at the back door, and when we walk from Qianli Mountain, even if the people who enter the Lin Zishao military camp chase after us, they may not be able to detect our position. Lu Wencheng said.

"Okay, let's go from Qianli Mountain. ”

......

At night, Gu Xi closed his eyes tightly, his brows furrowed, his chest swelled, and his blood and qi were emitted between exhaling and inhaling.

"Bang bang! bang bang!" Just as Gu Xi was about to rest for a while, there was a noise outside the door.

"Who!" Gu Xi asked with slightly squinted eyes.

"My lord, the slave maid ordered the cook to make you dinner. A woman's voice came from outside the house.

"Come in. When Gu Xi heard this, he knew that it was the maid who was given to him by the cool breeze during the day.

Hearing the command behind the door, the yellow-shirted maid pushed the door in, holding a tray in her hand, and there was a pot of good wine and a few plates of food on the tray, which made people have a great appetite.

The yellow-shirted maid seemed to be a little nervous, her hand holding the porcelain bowl trembled slightly, and a few drops of sweat were dripping from her white and tender neck due to her panicked expression.

Then, the yellow-shirted maid hurriedly put the food and wine on the table in the house, and fled out of the house.

Gu Xi, who saw this scene, was stunned for a moment, then turned his head to look at a bronze mirror on the table, looked at the person in the mirror, and couldn't help but reach out and touch his dark cheeks.

Seemingly......

I don't look like some flood beast!

Am I ugly?

Gu Xi couldn't help but have doubts in his heart, he changed his face and figure, but when it comes to his current appearance, although his skin is darker than before, it is not so ugly that people will run away.

Sighing, touching his empty stomach, Gu Xi was indeed a little hungry after an afternoon of cultivation.

Walking to the wooden table in two steps, Gu Xi poured himself a glass of wine first, and the aroma of rice continued to linger in his taste buds.

However, just as Gu Xi was about to take a few mouthfuls of food and throw it in his mouth to chew, he suddenly smelled something strange in the dish, frowned, and put down the chopsticks in his hand.

Food, poisonous!
