C20 Collecting Spoils of War

When Teng Xiao Yun heard him ask, his face became serious again.

"I was pleased that you were willing to take such a risk for the sake of the village, but this plan carries too much risk. Zuo Peng and the others plotted to have you leave the village for the sake of your secret. Coming out on your own is no different from courting death. "

Zuo Feng sighed and nodded his head. When Zuo Lie appeared, he had already thought it through. Now that he was severely criticized by his teacher, he felt even more ashamed. But when he thought about it, Zuo Feng rushed to say.

"Master, you already know that my transformation is related to the items in the cave."

Teng Xiao Yun glared at him in annoyance and said, "You didn't die when you were killed and you didn't even leave a mark, so I already have a guess." After your cultivation miraculously recovered, I was even more certain of my guess. Otherwise, why would I have told you about that cave? "

After hearing all this, Zuo Feng knew that his master had already guessed everything, and he was still hiding everything from him. He couldn't help but feel ashamed.

"It was Zuo Hou who noticed the Great Elder leaving the village in a hurry. Thinking that you might be in danger, he rushed over to inform me."

Teng Xiao Yun seemed to see through Zuo Feng's emotions. He smiled and moved on to the question Zuo Feng asked.

"Master, what should we do now? From the tone of that grey robed man, he should be making his move soon."

Teng Xiao Yun thought for a bit and said, "I didn't have a good way to find all those spies in the village, but just now, I thought of one."

Zuo Feng asked with some urgency: "What way?"

"Before this, I was the same as you, only thinking of how to completely uncover the spies, but just now, I was thinking about how to move the villagers to Yan City. It was this idea that allowed me to think of a way to lure those spies out. "

Zuo Feng asked with a puzzled expression, "Move to Yan City? But how can we, a large group of hundreds of families, live in Yan City? Furthermore, this has nothing to do with leading the spies out, right? "

Teng Xiao Yun seemed to have already guessed that Zuo Feng would have such a question, so he calmly said, "In fact, five years ago, I had already bought some shops in Yan City that looked at the street and specifically sold some of the wild beasts' ingredients as well as some of the mountain herbs and elixirs."

After a short pause, Teng Xiao Yun continued, "Ever since you were ambushed one year ago, I have secretly used the village's funds to buy over a dozen cheap courtyards in Yan City. Although they are a bit crude, they can still be our temporary shelter."

Zuo Feng opened his mouth in shock. He didn't think that Teng Xiao Yun would think so far ahead and think so carefully. Five years ago, that group of people from the Golden Rock Mountain started to expand crazily.

Zuo Feng couldn't hold it in anymore and asked tentatively, "Can't we just stay here and fight to the end with these people?"

Teng Xiao Yun lowered his head and looked at the grey-robed person he killed. He then shook his head.

"If it was before I saw him, I might still have a sliver of luck in my heart. But when I saw him and heard your conversation, I decided that I had to get the villagers out of here. "

"Master. You know this man. "

He slowly said, "They can't be considered to know each other, but we've heard of them a long time ago. They are a group of people that were secretly groomed by the Sky Emperor to steal information, assassinate them, and destroy these kinds of activities that cannot be shamed."

Zuo Feng wanted to ask something, but Teng Xiao Yun shook his head as if he had guessed it in advance, "It's not the time yet, and to you, it's better for you not to know."

Zuo Feng actually wanted to know more about his master's past. Their village was run by a man with another surname, and other than the previous village chief, no one knew about this. However, before he could open his mouth, Teng Xiao Yun stopped him. He also didn't have the chance to ask about the other secret about the items in the cave.

"Actually, I had long suspected that he was that spy. It's also because I didn't manage to catch any evidence, and I didn't want to use extreme methods to force him to reveal himself."

Zuo Feng couldn't speak at all, he could only listen quietly. Teng Xiao Yun only paused for a moment before letting out a sigh and continuing.

"All in all, I was the one who stole his position as the village chief. He has always kept this in his heart. Because I had made a promise to others, I could not easily let the Village Chief go. However, I had also allowed him to become the Great Elder, and as long as it was his opinion, I had almost never rejected it. But who would have thought that he would turn his back on the village and walk down this road, even going so far by mistake again and again. "

From the slightly hoarse voice of Teng Xiao Yun, he could tell that it was filled with desolation and fatigue. It was a sign of regret towards this old friend of his, even though they could no longer be considered as companions.

"Go and see what they have." Teng Xiao Yun said to Zuo Feng, who was still in a daze.

Zuo Feng could not help but feel joy in his heart. This was obviously giving his "spoils of war" to him. However, he was not a greedy person. He was only happy for a moment before speaking calmly.

"Master, now that the village has met with a calamity, we should leave these people's belongings to the village to handle."

Teng Xiao Yun looked at Zuo Feng for a moment and then smiled approvingly. He laughed out loud, making Zuo Feng feel a bit confused.

After laughing for a while, Teng Xiao Yun heavily slapped Zuo Feng's shoulder. Since it was the same shoulder as his, it hurt so much that Zuo Feng grimaced in pain.

At this moment, Teng Xiao Yun's voice sounded out, "You are truly worthy of being my good disciple. To be able to face so many benefits without losing your heart. For me to have such a good disciple, I will have no regrets even in death."

The first half of his words caused Zuo Feng's face to turn red, but the words after that were extremely ear-piercing. Even Zuo Feng couldn't help but frown.

Although he felt uncomfortable in his heart, he still treated it as his master saying it out of excitement.

"Go on, the Zuo Family Village doesn't lack this little money and items, go and check out what they have on them."

Hearing this, Zuo Feng slightly nodded his head and started to look through the Great Elder's body. After rummaging for a long time, he finally found two books, one was a Superior Grade Six Cultivation Method, and the other was a Superior Grade Two saber technique.

After reading these two books, Zuo Feng really wanted to ask Teng Xiao Yun what the "King Class" of his King Class movement technique was, but after some thought, he decided to let go of this question.

Besides Elder Zuo Lie, there was only his long sword. Zuo Feng only knew how to use the sword slightly, so he didn't care too much about it. He shifted his gaze to the grey-clothed man.

This grey robed man was much richer than Zuo Feng had imagined. He had over a hundred gold coins on him, and a lot more silver coins. Zuo Feng also found two books on him, but it had nothing to do with cultivation or martial skills. One was a detailed explanation of the art of medicine, while the other was an expert's experience in medicine.

After finding all the good stuff on this guy's body, Zuo Feng's Qian Jin felt even more satisfied. He carefully looked up and down this grey robed man's body from top to bottom.

I didn't expect that after a while of rummaging, it would actually turn out to be a great harvest." There was a small waist purse. After opening it, a dozen paper bags appeared. Zuo Feng was not surprised at all, he had a paper bag of similar powder on him.

He then took out an extremely sharp, black dagger from the grey robed man's calf. He weighed the dagger in his hand, it was heavier than the one he gave to Shen Die, but it was extremely convenient for the current him, after all, the dagger he gave was used when he was about 6 years old.

He picked up all these items and placed them in front of Teng Xiao Yun. Then, he took out a dagger and smiled.

"I'll take a good look at this dagger among these items, leave the rest to Master."

Seeing that Zuo Feng didn't have any feelings for other things, Teng Xiao Yun's smile became even more brilliant. Zuo Feng's warm smile and sincere eyes couldn't be faked.

"Since you said that these are all your battle prowess, you can take them. This time, you have risked your life for the sake of the village, so you have no qualms about it. "

Zuo Feng didn't seem to hear anything, he continued to look at his master with a smile. Seeing him like this, Teng Xiao Yun, who understood his disciple's personality, sighed.

"How about this, we'll follow the rules of the martial arts world. Zuo Lie was killed by you, so all the items on his body will belong to you. The grey-clothed man will belong to me, and all his items will belong to me. "

Hearing Teng Xiao Yun's words, Zuo Feng was slightly surprised, but he still reluctantly handed over the dagger in his hand. He couldn't figure out why his Master was acting differently today.

Seeing Zuo Feng's face filled with pain as he brought the dagger in front of him, Teng Xiao Yun couldn't help but burst out laughing. He then patted Zuo Feng's head intimately and said.

"You little brat, if you don't play around, you're really bullshitting with me. You keep your dagger properly, and you keep Elder Zuo Lie's two books well as well." As for those bags of medicine and those two books on medicine, bring them back to your wife yourself and give them to her. Are you satisfied with that? "

Zuo Feng saw how certain his master was, so he didn't dare to say anything else. His master's action was to tell him that the real woman was Zuo Feng himself.

Seeing how much Zuo Feng loved the black dagger so much, Teng Xiao Yun took a close look and said, "This dagger is a sharp assassination weapon."

After Zuo Feng heard this, he was puzzled and started to carefully examine the short blade in his hand again.
