Chapter 193: The crux of the matter
Looking at the beautiful face of the woman in front of him, Feng Ren smiled and said, "Miss Zhou, I haven't seen you for a long time." ”
This person is the second miss of the Zhou family, Zhou Luolan. The best friend who had a relationship with Feng Ren and Huo Xiaoxuan is also a woman who makes Brother Wudao a little concerned.
Zhou Luolan glanced at Feng Ren and Huo Yun and said softly, "It's been a long time." I just never thought it would be like this when we met again. ”
Feng Ren clenched his fists and said: "This time it is true that we are a little rude, but for the sake of the lives of the people and soldiers in this city, we have to do this. After the matter calmed down, I personally went to Uncle Zhou to plead guilty. ”
"That's it. I had advised my father that the goods were a little strange this time, but after he saw the huge benefits in front of him, he ignored these and insisted on taking the goods. In desperation, I had no choice but to accompany me secretly, in fact, this time the entire caravan was managed by Cheng on the surface, and in fact, everything was in charge of me. Zhou Ruolan said as she handed the thing in her hand to Feng Ren, and the Zhou family's realm-level master was restrained by Xiahou Yu and was powerless to stop it.
After taking the copper ball, Feng Ren checked it and felt that the weight was only about two catties, and the inside seemed to be hollow. Tentatively injecting a few strands of true qi into it to investigate, his face changed slightly in an instant. The injected true qi is like a mud cow entering the sea, disappearing in an instant, and you can no longer feel the slightest remnant.
It's weird!
After carefully examining the various lines on it, many of them were extremely finely carved animal patterns, to be precise, there should be several types of orcs. And around these patterns are some strange symbols, which seem to be some kind of writing. After thinking about it slightly, Feng Ren concluded that this should be the same kind of writing on the scroll he had seen from Qi Xian earlier.
"Where did you get this thing from the Zhou family?" asked Feng Ren holding up the copper ball with one hand.
Zhou Luolan shook her head and replied, "I don't know. It's just that for as long as I can remember, it seems to have been in my father's treasure room. However, looking at its location, I am afraid that my father did not pay much attention to it, and just treated it as a rare but not precious collection. It wasn't until half a year ago that this Mr. Li came to my house as a guest. His father showed him around his treasure room, and he seemed to be interested in it. ”
Speaking of this, Zhou Luolan deliberately glanced at the middle-aged man on the main seat.
The man saw that with Zhou Luolan's guidance, the eyes of everyone in the room were focused on him. He coughed a few times and said, "Under Li Zhi, a merchant in Beiting. I've liked strange things since I was a child, so I was a little worried about this thing I've never seen before. Later, when I returned home, I deliberately searched a lot of ancient books that recorded various treasures, but I didn't find relevant information. Until one day two months ago, when I happened to wander around the street, I found a picture scroll of some age in the hands of a land vendor. Seeing that the price was not expensive, I bought it. As I said earlier, since I was a child, I liked those strange monsters that ordinary people might not look down on, so I ......"
Feng Ren suddenly understood: "Could it be that there is this thing in the content of that painting?"
"This little brother is really delicate and sharp, in a word. I didn't notice it at the time, but when I got home, I took a closer look at the painting, and I happened to see it in one of the places. Later, the more I thought about it, the more itchy my heart became, so I asked someone to bring a message to Boss Zhou to see if he was willing to cut his love to me, but I didn't expect him to agree in one bite. So this happened. But if I had known that this thing was such a scourge, I wouldn't have dared to ask for anything!" Li Zhi hurriedly shook his head.
"Mr. Xiahou, look at how strange this thing is. Feng Ren ignored Huo Yun, who reached over and wanted to have a look, but threw the copper ball in his hand to Xiahou Yu.
Xiahou Yu continued to clasp the wrist of the realm-level master beside him with one hand, then took the copper ball and examined it carefully, shook his head and said, "It's really weird. There was no sound at all when the true qi was injected into it, but the thing itself didn't feel the slightest fluctuation of energy......"
"Wait! What did you say earlier?, not feeling the slightest fluctuation in energy?" Feng Ren suddenly felt as if he had grasped something very important, and it was exactly what he had overlooked.
"yes, at least I don't notice it. Xiahou Yu didn't understand why Feng Ren was so surprised.
Feng Ren's face turned pale, and he involuntarily took two steps back and said, "Then we are facing a very terrible problem now...... Since we didn't feel the slightest energy fluctuation of this thing, how did the orcs, who were even worse at cultivation, know that this thing was in Dragon City?"
Huo Yun pondered for a while and said, "Perhaps, the orc's target is not this thing at all...... Our initial assumptions were wrong......"
Having said that, Huo Yun himself couldn't believe his own idea.
"That painting, Mr. Li, where is that painting, can you show us?" Feng Ren suddenly exclaimed. He vaguely felt in his heart that he had inadvertently stepped into a well-arranged game, and it was even more terrifying than he had feared before!
Li Zhi also realized that the development of the situation was far beyond his imagination, and he replied: "In my house, why don't you go with me now?" ”
"Let's go!" Feng Ren didn't dare to delay any longer.
Seeing this, Zhou Luolan said, "I'll go with you too." Steward Cheng, Mr. Sun, please don't continue to meddle in this matter. On my father's side, I'm in charge. ”
Steward Cheng could only nod, and the realm-level master who was restrained by Xiahou Yu also responded.
As he stepped out of the compound, Feng Ren ordered one of the cavalrymen to immediately go to Qi Xian, asking him to find the man who had gone to look up information in order to translate the orc war book. Seeing this, Li Zhi also told the cavalryman the address of his mansion, so that he could recognize the way.
Soon after, a group of people rushed into the Li Mansion, and Li Zhi even drank back a group of maids and servants who wanted to come forward to serve, and led everyone directly into the back hall. There, he opened a box and took out the scroll, and Feng Ren moved faster, grabbed it directly in his hand and immediately spread it out.
For a moment, everyone's eyes were focused on this picture, which may be the key.
The scroll is bizarre, with a strong man who looks like an orc stepping on a mountain of corpses. Judging by the dead heads at its feet, there were humans, orcs, monsters, and some creatures that didn't know what they were. The background of the painting is a cloudy sky, and bat-like giants are gliding, and there are faint flashes of thunder and lightning among their wings.
In the orc's right hand was a long sword full of notches like jagged teeth, and in the right hand was a sphere, which was indeed the same thing as the bronze ball in their hands now. In the upper right corner of the scroll, there is a column of symbols, which should be orc characters.
"It's going to be gone, this thing must be an orc. And judging from this picture scroll, I'm afraid it's still a legendary holy artifact or something...... Mr. Li, you have such good eyesight!" Feng Ren laughed miserably.
Li Zhiye's face was a little unnatural suddenly, and he said with some hesitation: "I also thought that this was an orc thing before, but I didn't expect it to have such a big origin!"
"I didn't expect that, with your eyesight, how could you not tell the origin of this thing, but I didn't expect the orcs to make a big deal about it!"
While speaking, an invisible force on Feng Ren's body was released, which shocked Li Zhi almost to stand unsteadily.
"I, Li Zhi, swear to the sky, I also knew that it was different after seeing this scroll, and Zhou Zhou himself didn't seem to know the origin of this product. So I just wanted to pick up a bargain...... If I had known that this would be the case, I wouldn't have dared to ask for it for nothing!" Li Zhi was a little panicked in the face of Feng Ren's coercion.
Just then, an announcement came from outside the door, saying that the sergeant had arrived with the interpreter.
As soon as the translator entered the door, Feng Ren immediately stuffed the scroll into his hand, pointed to the orc text in the upper right corner, and asked, "What do these mean?"
The translator didn't care about Feng Ren's rudeness, but stroked the surface of the scroll to examine it carefully, and then exclaimed: "That's the word! I didn't understand it before, and that's what I did for the sake of turning over the information! Where did you get this painting?"
Suddenly, the room was shocked, and most of the people present already knew the answer they wanted. The most worrying thing happened......
Feng Ren hurriedly asked, "Don't worry about this for now, so what do other words mean?"
The interpreter replied, "Achus Micaesar." This is a hero of orc legends, and it is said that he has spent his entire life in the arms of battle, fighting heaven and earth, and no one can beat him. This painting seems to be the story of him and this thing I don't name yet......"
Raising his hand to signal the interpreter to stop, Feng Ren turned the copper ball in Xiahou Yu's hand and said: "In this way, this is what the orcs are attacking the city for! Hurry up, let's go back to the city tower! This war may end here!"
But at the moment when Feng Ren rushed out of the door, he stopped on his feet and shivered involuntarily.
"What's wrong?" Huo Yun didn't stop and hit Feng Ren's back directly.
"I suddenly realized that we really seemed to have stepped into a well-laid trap by accident...... I'll ask you, as I said earlier, there isn't the slightest fluctuation of energy on this thing. So, how did the orcs know that it was in the Dragon City?"
Huo Yun didn't know how to answer for a while, but Xiahou Yu opened his mouth and said, "Maybe it's because of a special aura that can't be detected by humans on this thing, while orcs can." ”
"Then the second question comes. If this is the case, is the speed at which the orc troops are coming too fast? The caravan arrived at Donglong City almost in the afternoon, and they actually began to attack the city at night! I am afraid that it will take at least a week for such a large army to assemble and march? And a week ago, the location of the caravan was not close to Donglong City! Even if the orcs could have a master to detect the existence of this thing, it would be impossible to know that the end of the caravan was here, and the army had been arranged in advance to wait here!" Feng Ren's face was even more gloomy.
Xiahou Yu instantly reacted and said, "Mole?"
"No! It's not a traitor! Even the Zhou family themselves don't know what this thing is, how could it be that one of them leaked the news...... I'm afraid that from the moment Mr. Li bought the painting, he had already stepped into a huge conspiracy......"
As soon as Feng Ren's words came out, the audience was amazed.
"Who!" Suddenly, Xiahou Yu's gaze looked at a place on the roof, and at the same time, a finger came out of the air, and the invisible energy burst out fiercely.
Two figures burst out from the position of Xiahou Yu's attack, their agile figures easily dodged the blow and then stood on the roof, one of them applauded and shouted, "Very wonderful inference." I never imagined that a game that had been so carefully arranged for so long would be solved by someone so young. Seems a little late, though?"
Compared to this person's words, Feng Ren was even more surprised by the aura that permeated the two people who appeared in front of him, and they were all realm-level cultivators!
