Chapter Eighty-Eight: Trouble

Chen Feng was escorted by the city guards, with the city lord's carriage and the two generals guarding the left and right in front of him. The first time he was restrained on the street, Chen Feng felt weird, and strange eyes came from time to time around him, but at this moment, he could only bear it helplessly.

Turning left and right, I spared the streets for a few days, and came to a large mansion at the east gate of Lanfeng City.

The red lacquered gate, in front of which two huge lions are parked, and the courtyard wall is large and very high. When I looked inside, I could only see the tops of a few tall attics, magnificent and solemn.

The plaque on the gate reads three vigorous characters, City Lord's Mansion.

"I didn't go to the criminal department, but I came to the city lord's mansion ......"

Chen Feng thought about it, and then understood some reasons, thinking that the city lord of Mu was drawing a sword to help, and he was a friend of Mu Ling'er, the city lord must have known.

A group of people marched into the city lord's mansion, the gate was tightly closed, and the two generals dispersed with their respective generals, leaving only a few guards to serve in the huge front yard.

The slightly obese City Lord Mu stepped out of the carriage, took a good look at Chen Feng this time, and then smiled with satisfaction, and said, "Sure enough, the hero is a young man, about you, Ling'er has told me a lot of time these days." At a young age, he is proud, and he will become a great weapon in the future. ”

"Thank you Lord for the compliment. Chen Feng replied.

"Old man Mu Haoran, you don't have to be polite, just call me Uncle Mu. Ling'er's girl is willful and reckless, and it is difficult for you to take care of her in the academy, and the old man owes you a personal favor. ”

"I dare not be a ......"

Chen Feng shook his head and smiled, this is not his modesty, he has been in the academy for a few months, and he really hasn't taken much care of Mu Ling'er except for retreat and cultivation. On the contrary, Mu Linger helped him a lot of the time. For this point, Chen Feng doesn't want to distinguish it very clearly, the future is long, and there will be opportunities to repay in the future.

The two of them simply exchanged two polite words, Mu Haoran's brows furrowed slightly, and his expression became heavy, as if he had a big concern.

"Uncle Mu, looking at your appearance, it seems that there is something on your mind? Ling'er, why didn't you see her come out?"

Chen Feng looked left and right, and indeed did not see Ling'er's figure, with Mu Ling'er's character, knowing that Chen Feng was coming to the house, he must have come out to meet him as soon as possible, but it seemed a little strange today.

"Alas......" Mu Haoran sighed lightly and said with a wry smile: "I can't hide it, our Mu family is really in big trouble at this time." Nangong Jie, the young county lord of Nangong County just now, was the source of this trouble. ”

Chen Feng had also heard the conversation between Nangong Jie and Mu Haoran before, although he didn't understand it, but after thinking about it carefully, it seemed that something was making Mu Haoran make a choice.

"What is the matter? It has something to do with Mu Linger?" asked Chen Feng Zhengse.

Mu Haoran nodded and said, "Just now, that Nangong Jie came to the City Lord's Mansion with a lot of dowries to propose to Mu Ling'er. ”

Propose!!!

Chen Feng was stunned when he heard this, he didn't expect this to happen. Somehow, when Chen Feng heard this, there was a little more anger in his heart, obviously Mu Ling'er had occupied a place in his heart, and he naturally didn't want the latter to marry a guy like Nangong Jie.

"Nangong Jie is scheming, and if he has revenge, he will definitely not be happy. ”

"Of course the old man knows what kind of person Nangong Jie is over the years, and the old man knows more than you have to know. No, after hearing the news, Ling'er hid in the room and sulked. ”

"You are the lord of a city, since this is the case, then you will refuse this family affair, how can you have such a headache?" Chen Feng was a little puzzled, even if Nangong Jie had such a big backer as Nangong County, he would not dare to be wild in front of the city lord, as long as the city lord did not agree, would he dare to kill Lanfeng City?

"It's complicated......"

Before Mu Haoran could speak, he suddenly heard a violent slamming sound, and the guards inside the gate hurriedly went to open the door.

The gate opened, and several horses entered. The first person is in his fifties, and his figure and appearance are almost the same as Mu Haoran, but his aura is more ruthless than Mu Haoran.

Behind him, there were two young men, a man and a woman, and when they saw Chen Feng, they were stunned at the same time, and asked in surprise, "Why are you here?"

Chen Feng smiled back, he didn't expect to see Mu Shan and Mu Shui'er here again, and immediately responded: "Mu Ling'er and I came here to learn the Spirit Pill Technique, and we have been in Blue Maple City for several days, why, you also asked for leave and came back?"

"Family affairs, I have to go back, Chen Feng, you are too good here, at least you have a good helper. Mu Shan said heartily.

"Ahem......"

The three of them chatted hotly, ignoring the fifty-year-old man who entered the door for a while, which made him a little unhappy, so he had to pretend to cough twice.

"Chen Feng, this is my father Mude, come and pay a visit. Mu Shui'er reacted quickly and hurriedly made an introduction.

Chen Feng clenched his fists again and said humbly: "Senior Chen Feng, I have seen Senior Mu. ”

Mulder waved his hand and didn't reply, just nodded slightly. Now his heart is no smaller than Mu Haoran, the success or failure of the Mu family, in this move, naturally there is no time to talk.

"I heard that the kid from Nangong County came to the mansion to propose? Hmph, this is obviously taking advantage of people's danger, if Ling'er's girl marries him, she will definitely have a hard time in the future. Mulder said angrily.

Mu Haoran looked at the guards around him, and didn't say anything more at the moment, but stretched out his hand and made a gesture of please, and said to Chen Feng and the others: "Let's take a simple rest first, and then sit down and discuss it when we have dinner in the evening, this matter is very important, and it can't be solved in a few words." ”

Chen Feng was also a little cloudy at the moment, things seemed to be much more complicated than he imagined, and there seemed to be a lot of things about the four major families with the arrival of this Mud.

But no matter how anxious he was, he was still an outsider after all, if Mu Haoran didn't take the initiative to say something to him, if he forced him to ask, he would be disgusted.

According to Mu Haoran's arrangement, Chen Feng lived in a first-class guest room, and with the previous toss with Nangong Jun and others, it was already in the afternoon. After resting on the bed for an hour, I heard a slight knock on the door.

"Brother Chen Feng, the city lord is invited!"

"Oh, here we are. ”

Chen Feng briefly tidied up, then followed the guards all the way, and soon came to a magnificent attic.

Although the City Lord's Mansion is not as big as the Four Professional Trade Unions, it is so elegant, but in terms of decoration and architecture, it looks a lot grandiose.

This attic has eight floors, which is the tallest building in the entire Blue Maple City. Chen Feng stepped on the stairs and soon came to the top floor, at this time it was getting late, and standing on a high place, he could vaguely see the sun that had not yet set. You can also see most of the city's beautiful scenery.

Mu Haoran, Mu De, Mu Shan, Mu Shui'er, and Mu Ling'er, as well as an unknown beautiful woman, had already been prepared around the table, and the luxurious dishes were also neatly arranged.

This should have been a warm picture, but Chen Feng saw that there was no smile on everyone's faces, and the atmosphere seemed very tense.
