Luo family guard camp in Yecheng.
The wide square outside the east gate of Yecheng was filled with a large group of guards wearing black armor and holding swords.
Standing in front of these guards was a man in silver armor. He was Luo Cheng, the soul-chaser of the Luo family.
Although Luo Cheng looked very heroic in his armor, his eyes were filled with suspicion because he saw three warning smoke signals from the Ye, Murong and Luo families lit up at the same time.
No one knew what had happened, but Luo Zhengli had a city rule that whenever three smoke signals were lit in Ye City, the Luo family guards would be assembled immediately without reporting the incident.
After Luo Cheng assembled the Luo family guards, he hurried into the Luo family hall.
In the Luo family hall, Luo Zheng was pacing back and forth, his brows furrowed and his face without a trace of joy.
Luo Zheng also heard about the three smoke signals being lit simultaneously, and had instructed his adopted son Luo Hai to investigate.
Three smoke signals were lit at the same time. That was a plan that would be activated when he turned the city into a country.
But right now, because of the stumbling block of the Ye family, I had clearly suspended my plan, so who suddenly lit the three smoke signals
The three beacon towers for signaling wolf smoke can be located at the highest points of the Luo family, the Ye family and the Murong family respectively, and specially assigned personnel to guard them.
What is the identity and origin of the person who lit the three smoke signals, and what is his intention
Just when Luo Zheng was racking his brains and still had no clue, Luo Cheng arrived at the hall and appeared in front of him.
"Luo Cheng greets the city lord. The Luo family guards have assembled and are waiting for the city lord's orders!" Luo Cheng lowered his head and spoke in a sonorous and powerful voice.
When Luo Zheng saw Luo Cheng coming, he said with a look of doubt on his face: "Luo Cheng! Let Luo Jiawei stay here for the time being, and we will talk about everything after Luo Hai comes back!"
When Luo Cheng heard Luo Zheng say that they had to stay where they were and wait for Luo Hai to come back, he wanted to ask the reason, but he swallowed the words back.
The three smoke signals were not lit under the order of the city lord. Who would have the courage and ability to come and go freely between the Luo, Ye and Murong families
If that’s the case, why does the city lord have such a questioning expression on his face
Luo Cheng was very skeptical, but as the soul-chaser of the Luo family, he had to obey the orders of the city lord, which were military orders.
With two whooshes, a figure rushed into the Luo family from outside the door and went straight to the Luo family hall.
The man had a calm expression on his face, and he didn't seem to be as surprised as Luo Zheng and Luo Cheng by the three smoke signals.
On the contrary, when he approached the Luo family compound, he looked around and found that there was no one, and he chuckled to himself.
He was none other than Luo Hai, who was sent by Luo Zheng to investigate the wolf smoke incident.
When Luo Hai stepped into the hall, the expression on his face was completely different from the one he had just had in the courtyard.
He was secretly delighted before, but now his face is full of anxiety and doubt.
"Hai'er meets father!" Luo Hai said this and lowered his head when he came.
Seeing that it was Luo Hai who came back, Luo Zheng couldn't wait to ask: "Hai'er, how is the matter of Langyan? Have you found out?"
Luo Hai still lowered his head, as if he was still a little reluctant to say: "In reply to Dad's words! Haier has checked, the Luo family's guards guarding the Wolf Towel Tower have been killed by someone. Haier has not been to the Ye family's Wolf Towel Tower, so I don't know the situation! Murong..."
"What! The guards of Luo family's Wolf Tower were killed!" Luo Zheng's face was full of surprise, and in his surprise there was infinite anger.
"Reporting to the city lord, Murong Wentian is outside the gate asking to see you!"
Luo Hai, who was talking about Murong Wentian in the hall when he was interrupted by Luo Zheng's angry words, was shocked when he heard someone outside the door reporting that Murong Wentian had arrived.
He questioned in his heart: Didn't Murong Wentian gather the palace guards and go to the Ye family? Why did he suddenly rush to the Luo family hall
Hearing Murong Wentian arrive outside the door, Luo Zheng hurriedly said, "Hurry up and let Murong Wentian in!"
As soon as Luo Zheng finished speaking, Murong Wentian, who was standing outside the door, hurried into the hall with an unwilling and aggressive expression on his face.
Because Murong Wentian also participated in Luo Zheng's plan to transform the city into a country, the benefit Luo Zheng gave him was the position of general of the army after the country was transformed.
If Murong Wentian had not been so cautious, after he assembled the Murong Mansion guards to surround the Ye family, he would not have seen a single Luo family guard, and would have ordered his guards to only surround the Ye family and not take any action.
They have already started fighting with the Ye family.
Therefore, at this moment Murong Wentian came with a threatening momentum, just to ask about the matter that Luo Zheng did not send the Luo family guards as promised beforehand.
"City Lord Luo! What do you mean? Since the signal smoke has been lit, why don't you send out a single soldier?" Murong Wentian had a questioning expression on his face, and his tone was full of suspicion about the discussion of the matter.
"Brother Murong, Brother Murong, I didn't order the lighting of the signal smoke! There is a hidden reason, I hope you can understand!" Luo Zheng's tone was filled with apology, and he continued, "Could it be that Brother Murong has already taken action?"
“What! The signal smoke of your Luo family was not lit by your order, which means the plan was not implemented at all!” Murong Wentian exclaimed, his eyes wide open, and said, “Lord Luo, what is going on? I have gathered all the guards of the Murong Mansion and they are now surrounding the Ye family!”
When Luo Hai heard Luo Zheng order him to investigate the wolf smoke incident, he actually did not go anywhere and stayed in Luo's house.
From the surprise he felt when he first heard Murong Wentian coming to the hall, to now when he heard Murong Wentian say that he had not taken any action against the Ye family, his face, which was originally filled with joy, instantly darkened.
When Luo Zheng heard Murong Wentian say that he had assembled the palace guards and had surrounded the Ye family but had not yet taken action, he temporarily put aside the issue of the wolf smoke because he knew what was more important at the moment.
So, he hurriedly said: "Brother Murong, you should hurry to the Ye family and call back all the guards! Now is not the time for us to take action." After that, he hurriedly said to Luo Cheng: "Luo Cheng, you should quickly go to the city to calm the people! To prevent unrest!"
After receiving the order, Luo Cheng hurriedly left the hall.
Luo Zheng is a man with a meticulous mind. He acts cautiously and strives for success. He had previously suspended his plan because of the Ye family, and now the issue of true and false wolf smoke suddenly emerged.
He became more cautious, because based on the matter of the real and fake wolf smoke, he guessed that perhaps in addition to the Ye family, which was a stumbling block, there were other people in Yecheng who were trying to sabotage his plans and harm him.
Therefore, Luo Zheng spoke to Murong Wentian so decisively and without hesitation about withdrawing the palace guards.
When Murong Wentian learned that Luo Zheng did not start the plan, he hurriedly left the hall and rushed to Ye's house with a look of panic on his face.
The city of Yecheng was in chaos because of the three smoke signals.
People on the street were hurrying and looking panicked.
Because they also knew what it meant when three smoke signals ignited at the same time; it was a sign of a great disaster.
Outside the Ye family's gate, the guards from the Murong Mansion surrounded them tightly.
In the hall of the Ye family, Ye Long had already summoned his own guards and was also investigating the matter of the Wolf Smoke Tower at the Ye Mansion. At the same time, he didn't know why the guards of the Murong Mansion had surrounded the Ye family.
At the same time, the sound of horse hooves was heard and stopped outside the Ye family's door.
It was Ye Feng who had killed thirteen members of the Chen family at Zaozipo, and now he had rushed to the door of his house.
Ye Feng dismounted from his horse and recognized at a glance that the guards surrounding him were all from Murong's mansion.
Suddenly, his face was filled with astonishment.
Why did the guards of Murong Mansion surround their own house so tightly that no one could get in or out
Just when Ye Feng was deep in thought, someone from the Murong Mansion guards surrounding the Ye family's gate discovered Ye Feng.
Knowing that Ye Feng had appeared, the leader of the Murong Palace Guards turned around and looked at Ye Feng with disdain and said, "So it's our Ye family's eldest young master who has returned! I'm so sorry!"
The leader of the Murong Mansion Guards who spoke was Jiang Xiao, Murong Wentian’s last disciple, and his tone was full of criticism for Ye Feng.
Jiang Xiao is Murong Wentian's beloved disciple. He received the true martial arts teachings from Murong Wentian and reached the peak of the sixth level in martial arts when he was in his early twenties.
Jiang Xiao was full of complaints about Ye Feng, the key point was the marriage contract between Ye Feng and the Murong family.
Originally, Jiang Xiao had always had a crush on the eldest daughter Murong Xiaoxue, but because he had not confessed his feelings to her, the engagement between Ye Feng and Murong Xiaoxue ended his beautiful dream.
From then on, Jiang Xiao secretly vowed to defeat Ye Feng with his own hands to relieve the hatred in his heart.
Jiang Xiao firmly refused to believe anything about Ye Feng that had been circulating in Yecheng recently, because he didn't believe that a person with a naturally poisonous body could surpass him in martial arts.
Jiang Xiao is a person who never believes something unless he sees it with his own eyes.
Therefore, Jiang Xiao thought that this encounter with Ye Feng was a perfect opportunity to humiliate Ye Feng.
Not only in front of everyone, but also at Ye Feng's doorstep.
Thinking that the resentment that had been pent up in his stomach for a long time was about to burst out and hit Ye Feng bit by bit, Jiang Xiao said excitedly: "I heard that our Ye family's eldest master has a poisonous body! Master Ye, we are not well-informed and don't know what a poisonous body means. Please tell me, Master Ye!"
"Big Brother! Could it be that this poisonous body can practice poisonous martial arts?"
"Humph! A martial art that is as poisonous as a body, no, no, it should be a waste that is as poisonous as a body!"
The guards of Murong Mansion standing behind Jiang Xiao knew that the eldest brother was deliberately humiliating Ye Feng, so they also mocked and humiliated him.
Seeing Ye Feng remained silent, Jiang Xiao deliberately looked at Ye Feng and said with a mocking face, "My two junior brothers are right. No matter how I look at him, I find that Ye Feng is a real toxic waste!"
"Hahahaha!" Jiang Xiao laughed coldly again.
"Look, look, what the eldest brother said is absolutely right. If he is not a loser, how could he not be able to return home in front of his own doorstep? He also dared not even fart after being humiliated like this!"
"If it were me, and I couldn't get home after reaching my doorstep, I would have fought tooth and nail. How could I be as afraid of death as he is?"
Ye Feng silently raised his head and said with a cold look in his eyes: "Don't go too far, get out of here right now!"
Hearing Ye Feng's anger, Jiang Xiao looked at Ye Feng with disdain and said, "Hey! Are you still angry? Let me tell you, Ye Feng, even if there are rumors in Ye City about how powerful you are, as long as I, Jiang Xiao, have not seen it with my own eyes, then those are all lies. If you are not convinced, then do it!"
"Yeah! Do it!"
"Humph! He dares to take action. It's like the sun is rising from the west!"
