Chapter 20 Collecting the Spoils of War
Teng Xiaoyun heard him ask, and couldn't help but look gloomy again, and said seriously.
"I'm glad you took such a risk for the sake of the village, but this plan is too risky. Zuo Peng: They designed you to leave the village just for the secret of you, and if you come out alone like this, it is no different from seeking death. ”
Zuo Feng sighed secretly and nodded deeply, when Zuo Lie appeared, he had actually figured it out, and he felt a little ashamed to be severely criticized by the master at this time. But after thinking about it, Zuo Feng rushed to say.
"Master, you already know that my changes have something to do with the items in the cave. ”
Teng Xiaoyun glared at him angrily and said, "You were fatally injured at the time and did not die, and you did not leave a single scar, I already have a guess. Later, your cultivation was miraculously restored, and I was even more sure of my guess, otherwise why would I tell you about the cave. ”
After Zuo Feng heard this, he knew that the master had already guessed everything, and he was still dodging to hide it, and he couldn't help but feel a little ashamed in his heart.
"It was Zuo Hou who found out that the Great Elder left the village in a hurry, and thinking that you might be in danger, hurried to inform me. ”
Teng Xiaoyun seemed to see Zuo Feng's emotions, smiled slightly, and pulled the words to the question that Zuo Feng asked before.
"Master, what should we do now, listening to the tone of the man in gray, it shouldn't be long before they will do it to us. ”
After pondering slightly, Teng Xiaoyun said: "For those spies in the village, I didn't have a very good way to find out all of them before, but just now I thought of a way. ”
Zuo Feng asked a little eagerly, "What way?"
"Like you before, I was only thinking about how to get rid of the spies completely, but just now I was thinking about how to transfer the people from the village to Yancheng. It was this idea that led me to figure out how to lure those spies out. ”
Zuo Feng said with some puzzlement: "Moved to Yancheng, but we are such a large group of people, how do hundreds of families live in Yancheng." And it doesn't seem to have much to do with luring out the spies. ”
Teng Xiaoyun seemed to have guessed that Zuo Feng would have this question, so he said in a good time: "Actually, as early as five years ago, I had already purchased a shop on the street in Yancheng, specializing in selling some materials on the beasts, as well as some medicinal herbs and elixirs in the mountains. ”
After a slight pause, Teng Xiaoyun continued: "And since you were attacked a year ago, I have secretly used the village's funds to buy more than a dozen cheap courtyards in Xicheng in Yancheng, although they are a little simpler, they can also become our temporary shelter. ”
Zuo Feng opened his mouth in surprise, he didn't expect Teng Xiaoyun to think so far, and think so thoughtfully, five years ago should have been when the group of people in Jinyan Mountain had just begun to expand wildly.
Zuo Feng finally couldn't help it, and asked tentatively: "Can't we choose to stay and deal with these people to the end?" ”
Teng Xiaoyun lowered his head, stared deeply at the gray-clothed man on the ground who was killed by himself, and then slowly shook his head and said.
"If I hadn't seen him, I might have had a little luck in my heart. But when I saw him and heard that conversation with my own ears, I decided at that moment that I had to let the people of the village move out of this place. ”
"Master. You know this person. ”
Teng Xiaoyun's gaze was a little complicated, and he couldn't see joy or anger in it, and said slowly: "I don't know it, but I have heard of their group of people for a long time, they are a group of people secretly cultivated by the Fengtian Dynasty, and they are responsible for some shady activities such as stealing intelligence, assassination, and sabotage." ”
Zuo Feng wanted to ask something more, but Teng Xiaoyun shook his head as if he had guessed in advance, and said, "It's not time yet, and for you, it will be better for you not to know." ”
Zuo Feng has actually always wanted to know about Master's past, and their Zuojia Village is headed by a person with a foreign surname, and no one knows the hidden story except for the previous village chief. But before he could speak, Teng Xiaoyun took the first step to block his words, and he couldn't even ask him another secret about the items in the cave.
"Actually, I have long suspected that he is the spy, also because I have not caught any evidence, and I myself do not want to use excessive means against him to force him to show up. ”
Zuo Feng couldn't interject at all, so he had to listen silently. Teng Xiaoyun only paused slightly, sighed and continued.
"Counting it, I was the one who robbed him of the position of village head, and he has always been obsessed with it. I couldn't easily give up the village chief to him because of my promises, but I also made him a great elder, and I almost never vetoed his opinion. But he didn't expect that he would abandon the village and walk so far on this road, and go so far by mistake. ”
From Teng Xiaoyun's slightly hoarse voice, he could hear the desolation and exhaustion in it, which was a pity for the old man, although they were no longer partners.
"Let's see what's on them. Teng Xiaoyun tried hard to collect his emotions and said to Zuo Feng, who was still in a daze.
Zuo Feng couldn't help but be happy in his heart, this was obviously to give the "spoils" to himself. But he is not a greedy person, he was just happy for a moment, and then said calmly.
"Master, the village is in great trouble now, so let the belongings of these people be handed over to the village to deal with. ”
Teng Xiaoyun stared at Zuo Feng for a moment, then showed an approving smile, and laughed violently, making Zuo Feng on the side feel a little inexplicable.
After laughing a few times, Teng Xiaoyun slapped Zuo Feng the shoulder, because it happened to be the shoulder where he was cut, Zuo Feng grinned in pain.
Teng Xiaoyun's voice slowly sounded at this time: "It is worthy of being a good apprentice in my fancy, being able to face these many benefits without losing my heart, and being able to have a good apprentice like you as a teacher, even if I die at this moment, I have no regrets." ”
The first half of these words made Zuo Feng blush, but the latter words were extremely harsh, so that Zuo Feng couldn't help frowning.
Although he didn't feel very comfortable in his heart, he just said it casually as if the master was excited.
"Go, Zuojia Village is not short of any money and goods, you go and see what they have on them first. ”
Hearing this, Zuo Feng nodded slightly, and first looked at the left column of the Great Elder. After groping for a long time, I found dozens of gold coins and one hundred and ten silver coins from his body, in addition to two books, one is a top-grade sixth-order exercise, and one is a top-grade second-order sword martial art.
After seeing these two books, Zuo Feng wanted to ask Teng Xiaoyun what level the "king-level" in his king-level body martial arts belonged to, but after thinking about it for a while, he put this question aside for the time being.
In addition to these, Elder Zuo Lie only had his long sword left, and Zuo Feng's use of the long sword was only superficial, so he didn't pay much attention to it at all, so he turned his gaze to the gray-clothed man.
This gray-clothed man was much richer than Zuo Feng imagined, and he had more than a hundred gold coins on his body alone, and even more so silver coins. Zuo Feng also found two books on his body, but they had nothing to do with cultivation and martial arts, one was a detailed explanation of pharmaceutical techniques, and the other was the pharmaceutical experience of pharmaceutical masters.
Because the things found in this guy are not bad, Zuo Feng's motivation is even more sufficient, and he seriously searched for this gray-clothed man from top to bottom, from the inside to the outside.
I didn't expect that after such a period of rummaging, I really gained a lot. There was a small waist bag at the back of his waist, and when he opened it, a dozen paper bags appeared, Zuo Feng was not surprised at all, he himself had a similar paper bag containing medicine powder.
After that, at the calf of the gray-clothed man, an extremely sharp pitch-black short blade was turned out. He weighed the weight in his hand, which was a little heavier than the one he gave to Shen Die, but it was extremely convenient for him now, after all, the dagger he gave away was used by him when he was about six years old.
Picked up these things one by one, put them in front of Teng Xiaoyun, and then picked out the dagger from it, and said with a smile.
"Among these things, I have a good idea of this dagger, and I will leave the rest to the master to deal with. ”
Seeing Zuo Feng's nostalgic expression for other objects, Teng Xiaoyun's smile was a little brighter, and Zuo Feng's warm smile and sincere eyes could not be faked at all.
"Having said that these are your combat weapons, you can accept them generously. This time you risked your life for the sake of the village, and you deserve these things. ”
Zuo Feng didn't seem to hear it, he still looked at the master with a smile on his face and a firm gaze. Seeing him like this, Teng Xiaoyun, who knew his apprentice's personality very well, sighed and said.
"Well, let's follow the general rules. Zuo Lie was killed by you, and all the things on his body belong to you, and this gray-clothed man was killed by me, and all his things belong to me. ”
Hearing Teng Xiaoyun say this, Zuo Feng was slightly stunned, but in the end, he was a little reluctant to hand over the dagger in his hand. I can't figure out in my heart why Master is acting like a mother-in-law and mother today.
Seeing Zuo Feng's painful face sending the dagger to him, Teng Xiaoyun couldn't help laughing out loud with a "poof", and then slapped Zuo Feng's head intimately and said.
"You kid, if you don't play tricks, you're really a stinky fart with me, you put away the dagger, and you can also put away Elder Zuo Lie's two books. As for the packets of medicine and the two books on medicine, you should take them back and give them to your wife, so that you are satisfied. ”
Zuo Feng saw that what Master said in the end was so categorical, so he didn't dare to say anything else. Master's actions were actually telling him that the real mother-in-law was Zuo Feng herself.
Seeing that Zuo Feng was so fond of the black short blade in his hand, Teng Xiaoyun also took a closer look and said, "This dagger is a sharp weapon for assassination." ”
After Zuo Feng heard this, he carefully looked at the short blade in his hand again with some puzzlement.
