When he first came to Steel City, Zuo Congrong, who couldn't contact Mingzhu and Lan Feng, had no one to know anymore, and Zuo Congrong, who didn't know the location of Dongfang Mansion, didn't choose to ask for directions as soon as possible. Like the Shenwei family and the Lu family, the Dongfang family, which also belongs to one of the six nobles, will naturally have a mansion of the same size, even if you don't deliberately inquire, as long as the location is open enough, it is not difficult to find the Dongfang Mansion.

Of course, there were other reasons why Zuo Congrong was not in a hurry to go to Dongfang Mansion. Bai Ye said that Mingzhu and Lan Feng were safe and sound, at least it could prove that the two of them would definitely not be in any danger for the time being, instead of running to Dongfang Mansion to visit them, it was better to take advantage of this time to inquire about the situation in Dongfang Mansion, and at the same time, relying on the advantage of his body, he had been wandering on the high-rise buildings in Steel City, and he could also grasp the following terrain well, so as not to be chased around like a headless fly like last time in Qingcheng.

"Is this the Steel City, it doesn't seem to be anything special. Zuo Congrong, who was standing on a tall building and looking down at the night view of the steel city, sighed lightly.

Since he came out of the forest three years ago to now, he has almost run to places that ordinary people can't finish in their lifetime in three years, Haicheng, Qingcheng, Science Capital, Imperial Capital, and even the Imperial Capital of the European camp, Zuo Congrong, who has seen many large cities, naturally does not have any special feelings about Steel City. Ordinary buildings, ordinary streets, ordinary people, and ordinary to boring night markets. One qiē and one qiē seem too ordinary, so ordinary that Zuo Congrong can't even notice what will happen in the steel city.

The Dongfang family is the master of the steel city, since even the designated next head of the Dongfang family has an accident, it is difficult to imagine that the Dongfang family will be safe, if the Dongfang family is not very stable, this steel city can still be peaceful, it is almost impossible. Since it can still be so stable and peaceful here, it can only be said that there is no problem in the steel city. Since there is nothing big about the Oriental family, why can't Mingzhu even be contacted by phone. Such a thought lingered in Zuo Congrong's mind, and it was difficult to sort out the clue.

"Visitor, please tell me your name!" the guard asked Zuo Congrong very politely.

After all, he is not a professional intelligence agent, and he doesn't pay much attention to some daily details, plus Zuo Congrong's original personality is very arrogant, so it is naturally impossible to have any intelligence income just by relying on boring curiosity. After wandering in the steel city for a few days, Zuo Congrong, who had not found any information, reluctantly inquired about the location of Dongfang Mansion from passers-by and came to Dongfang Mansion.

However, when Zuo Congrong came to Dongfang Mansion, he was stopped at the door. It is no wonder that Zuo Congrong has been to Shenwei Mansion and Lu Mansion before. But the former was sent by Haidongling personally, and with Haidongling's identity, the guards of Shenwei Mansion naturally would not intercept it, while the latter Zuo Congrong broke through the defensive barrier and forcibly broke into Lu Mansion. Either way, it was a noble mansion that was not directly entered by the doorman. And the first time he encountered this situation alone, Zuo Congrong, who was unprepared, was naturally stopped.

"I'm Zuo Congrong, a friend of the Oriental Pearl, please let the eldest brother pass it on. Zuo Congrong replied politely.

"Friend of the eldest lady. How come I've never seen you?" the doorman ignored Zuo Congrong's plea and cautiously retorted.

"I'm her friend at the Second Academy, and this is the first time I've come to Steel City, and I can't reach her by phone. Otherwise, it wouldn't be the way it is. ”

"Friends of the Second Academy, I'm very sorry, sir, please go back!" As soon as he heard that Zuo Congrong was from the Second Academy, the guards were not even interested in continuing to ask. I didn't confirm whether it was a guest of Mingzhu, so I took the initiative and issued an eviction order.

"Why, why didn't you drive me away without asking me if I was Mingzhu's friend? What do you think of this? "Because of the mention of the Second Academy, the Heart Dao Society may let the guards tolerate it, but Konoha didn't expect this to be the result, Zuo Congrong suddenly shouted with some anger.

"I'm very sorry, sir, this is what the captain meant, and I ask for your forgiveness. The guard politely replied.

"Captain, what captain, Oriental Pearl is the designated heir of the head of the family, can't he even compare to any captain? Zuo Congrong retorted dissatisfiedly.

"I'm very sorry, sir, please go back, the eldest lady is grounded now, and we can't let you in without the captain's permission. The guards rebuffed Zuo Congrong like a sophisticated machine.

"Mingzhu is grounded?" Zuo Congrong was stunned for a moment and asked. Anyway, she is also the eldest lady of the Dongfang family, but she didn't expect to be confined, Rao is Zuo Congrong thought that there would be any situation, but he didn't expect it to be like this.

"Sir, please come back!"

"Okay, I don't see Mingzhu, I can always meet Lan Feng, right? Zuo Congrong said with a second thought.

"I'm sorry, Miss Lan can't see you either!"

"Blue ...... Miss, wait a minute, you are mistaken, the Lan Feng I am talking about is a young master, Mingzhu's bodyguard Lan Feng!" Zuo Congrong explained.

"That's right, there is only Miss Lan Feng here, and the bodyguard you are talking about is Miss Lan. The guard replied.

"Ah Feng...... Ah Feng is a woman?" Zuo Congrong asked in amazement.

It's no wonder that Lan Feng didn't agree to live or die when he was first assigned to a dormitory with Lan Feng, and Mingzhu would be so strange, even Shenwei and Qin Yaming had a look of disbelief when they found out. The relationship turned out to be because Lan Feng was originally a daughter, no wonder she always felt that Lan Feng looked like a girl, it turned out that she was originally a woman. But then again, they have lived together for a long time, how did this Lan Feng hide, and he didn't let himself see it.

"Sir, please come back!"

“...... , are you only going to say this!" Repeating this sentence all the time, Zuo Congrong was also defeated by him, and asked helplessly.

"Sir, even if you wait here, I won't be of any help, I'm just a doorman, and if I let you in, I'll have to get out of here. The guard was annoyed enough and said helplessly.

"I don't embarrass you, don't embarrass me, you sue me, why don't you even let Lan Feng see you, Mingzhu is grounded, you won't sue me even Lan Feng is grounded, right?"

"I'm sorry, but that's true. Sir, please come back!" the guard replied again.

"Then you sue me, how can I see the two of them, anyway, I also came all the way from the imperial capital, do you think the Dongfang family treats guests like this?" Zuo Congrong asked.

"Sir, please go back, the captain has instructed, people from the imperial capital are not allowed to see if they are suspicious. ”

"You dead eyes, don't let me in, don't let me in, believe it or not, I've smashed this courtyard!" Zuo Congrong said angrily.

"Please!" replied the guard, very unconvinced.

"......" is what the words say. But this time is different from when I went to Qingcheng Lufu, although there may be a tough battle, but at least now I still came as a friend of Mingzhu, so it is naturally impossible to do anything rude. Now being confronted by the guards like this, it made Zuo Congrong speechless for a while, unable to refute.

"Wait a minute, who is she, how can she get in, I can't get in?" was when he was depressed by the guards. A white-haired old woman suddenly came from outside, and without even answering the guard, she walked in unscrupulously, and the guard also let the old woman in as if he was accustomed to it. See what happened. Where can Zuo Congrong stay still, he immediately argued.

"That's our people from Dongfang Mansion, naturally we don't need to pass it on, so please go back! Even if you stay here for a year. There's no way I'm going to let you in. If Mr. is really in a hurry, I will give Mr. an opinion, and you can directly consult with our captain or the head of the Oriental family. As for whether you can make it or not, it's up to your luck. The guard replied.

"Xiao Song, wait, who is he?" Xu was because he was used as a bargaining chip by Zuo Congrong before, but the old grandmother didn't leave immediately, and when she heard the guards Xiao Song and Zuo Congrong say that, she asked Xiao Song with some curiosity.

He said that he was Zuo Congrong, who came to visit the eldest lady and Miss Lan. Xiao Song replied to the old grandmother as if he had found a savior.

"Visiting the eldest lady and Miss Lan?no wonder! Are you a friend of the eldest lady and Miss Lan?" the old lady asked as if she understood the situation.

"Yes, grandmother, who are you?"

"Zuo Congrong, I seem to have heard of this name, you are waiting here, I'll go and confirm. As soon as he finished asking Zuo Congrong's question, he fell into self-talk again, completely ignoring Zuo Congrong's question, and after giving Zuo Congrong a word, he turned around and walked straight into the courtyard of Dongfang Mansion.

"Eh, grandma, grandma, who the hell is she, so strange. The conversation between the two was not a conversation at all, Zuo Congrong didn't even say a word to the grandmother, at this moment he was naturally full of questions, and after shouting twice, he didn't see the grandmother responding, so he had to switch the target of the conversation to Xiao Song again.

"You're lucky, maybe you'll be able to meet the eldest lady today. After being relieved by the old grandmother, Xiao Song also became relaxed, and replied in a good mood.

"Who is she when you can see Mingzhu?"

"She is the nanny of the eldest lady, Grandma Liu. She has more weight to speak in this mansion than many other family members, and if she comes forward, it is very likely that you will meet the eldest lady. ”

Indeed, as Xiao Song said, there are more than 1,000 Oriental people in the Dongfang Mansion, and although some people who are separated from the family have Oriental blood, they do not have too high status. Although Grandma Liu is just a nanny, you have to see who the master is who she serves, and the designated next head of the family, the identity of the Oriental Pearl is naturally extraordinary, and similarly, as a subordinate, her words are naturally very weighty. Now that Grandma Liu has come forward, the success rate is indeed very high.

□□□

"Okay, you come in with me!" After waiting for a while, Grandma Liu came back and said to Zuo Congrong.

"Huh?"

"Come in with me, don't you want to see the eldest lady?" Seeing that Zuo Congrong was a little stunned, Grandma Liu repeated it again.

"It's that simple?" was embarrassed by Xiao Song for a long time, and now that it was so easy to enter, Zuo Congrong asked in disbelief, this happiness came too suddenly, right?

"Let's hurry up, lest the eldest lady be in a hurry. Seeing that Zuo Congrong hadn't moved yet, Grandma Liu urged.

"Oh, yes, yes!"

......

"Grandma Liu, if I come in like this, will that guard be implicated in anything?" Zuo Congrong looked at Xiao Song and said a little unbearably.

"You have a lot of heart, it's okay, I'll take care of something. Grandma Liu said very proudly.

"If that's the case, why do you have to confirm anything?" asked Zuo Congrong strangely. originally thought that this Grandma Liu had passed it on to the captain of Xiao Song's mouth or the head of the Dongfang family, but listening to Grandma Liu's meaning, it seemed that she didn't notify the two of them. He brought himself in without permission.

"Let's confirm whether you are Zuo Congrong or not, Miss Dongfang is a kind person, naturally there will be no enemies, but the Dongfang family has been based in the camp for more than 3,000 years, and there will naturally be enemies, if it is a killer sent by the enemy, wouldn't it be a sin for me to bring you in." ”

"Grandma Liu, can you sue me, why are Mingzhu and Ah Feng grounded?" Listening to Grandma Liu's tone, it was clear that Mingzhu was regarded as her own family. Zuo Congrong was no longer wary of anything, and asked Grandma Liu.

"You're a god, right?" Hearing Zuo Congrong's core question, Grandma Liu suddenly stopped, stared at Zuo Congrong very seriously and asked.

"Hmm. ”

"What are you here for?"

"I heard that Ah Feng and Mingzhu had an accident, and they couldn't be contacted by phone, so I came over to see if there was anything I could do to help. ”

"Miss, they've been back for half a year, why are you here now?"

"I don't know, I just came back from the European camp a few days ago, and I just heard about them. That's why I rushed over in a hurry, Grandma Liu, I really want to help Mingzhu. Seeing Grandma Liu's cautious interrogation, Zuo Congrong replied sincerely.

"Okay. Then I'll sue you, and as for whether you want to help them or not, you can decide for yourself. After all, this matter will involve the entire Thunderlight Mercenary Group, and it is too difficult for you to do it alone. Grandma Liu sighed and said.

"Thunder Light Mercenary Group, isn't there something wrong with the Dongfang family?" Zuo Congrong was stunned. Asked with some surprise. If something happened to the Dongfang family, Zuo Congrong could still understand it, but what happened to the Lei Guang mercenary group about Mingzhu. Even if the Thunder Light Mercenary Group and the Dongfang Family are in the same vein. But after all, they don't belong to the same sect, they still have their own independence, and now that something happened to the Lei Guang mercenary group, it made the next head of the Dongfang family grounded, and such an absurd related problem really made Zuo Congrong incomprehensible.

"What the hell are you thinking about? How could something happen to the Dongfang family and the Thunder Light Mercenary Group, it was Miss Lan who had an accident. Grandma Liu replied.

"Ah Feng, what's wrong with her?" another surprising answer, the person who had always thought that the problem was the most unlikely, turned out to be the core of the problem, Zuo Congrong asked with some unacceptability for a while. Who is Lan Feng, Lan Feng is just a bodyguard for Mingzhu, a bodyguard who faithfully guards the eldest lady he identifies. Although Mingzhu has always regarded her as a brother, no, she is a sister, but after all, Lan Feng is just a subordinate, even if she may have more weight than Grandma Liu, it still can't change her identity as a subordinate. Now a subordinate has implicated the next head of the Dongfang family and been grounded, and even because of her, the entire Thunder Light mercenary group has been involved. Such an absurd development is really difficult for Zuo Congrong to accept.

"You and Miss Lan are classmates in the Second Academy, so do you know that Miss Lan has a curse aura on her?" asked Grandma Liu.

"Cursed breath, you mean Ah Feng's armament?" Zuo Congrong thought about it for a moment and replied as if asking. In Wang Yue's illusion, or when the imperial capital was performing martial arts, Lan Feng had made a move, unlike the "Feather Sutra", which was a very strong fairy breath, Lan Feng's "Feather Sutra" seemed to be eroded by chaos and darkness, and even her hands were sharp claws. Now that I think about it, it may be the cursed breath that Grandma Liu said, right?

"Not quite, her armament was only like that because it had been corrupted by the curse. Since it's clear, do you know Lei Guang's practice 'Feather Sutra'?" asked Grandma Liu.

"I don't know much, I only know that the 'Feather Sutra' is a partial divine exercise. ”

"That's enough. The 'Feather Sutra' is originally a divine exercise, and after cultivation, divinity will appear. But a long time ago, one of the people of the thunder light was always corrupted by the dark aura and cursed. And although this curse is not contagious, it will erode the mind, make people become monsters, and attack humans. The most terrifying thing is that the ability of the cursed person will also be greatly improved after losing his mind, which is equivalent to artificially creating a powerful enemy for mankind. Therefore, for thousands of years, whenever someone has a demonic reaction, they will be executed before they can turn into a demon. Grandma Liu explained.

"You mean, Ah Feng is the one who was infected by the curse this time?" Zuo Congrong said in disbelief.

"Yes, Miss Lan suddenly had a demon-turning reaction half a year ago, so Lei Guang went directly to the Second Academy to bring people back. If it weren't for the eldest lady who has been protecting her, maybe Miss Lan would have been executed by now. As she spoke, Grandma Liu couldn't help but shed tears, feeling sad for what happened to Lan Feng.

"Can't this curse be cured? Why do you have to put people to death?" Zuo Congrong said in disbelief.

"It's been going on for thousands of years, if it's cured well, why bother to put people to death, everyone who is infected with the curse is a well-qualified child. ”

"Then you can't watch Ah Feng being executed, it's been more than half a year, I'm afraid Ah Feng's situation is even worse, right?" Zuo Congrong said eagerly.

"Well, so I want you to help save Miss Lan, even if Miss Lan really turns into a demon, you are doing it to free her, at least give Miss Lan a chance. If it continues like this, I'm afraid that in a year at most, Miss Lan will completely turn into a demon. Grandma Liu said distressedly. (To be continued......)
