Chapter seven hundred and eighty sixth welcome
He showed his diligence for nothing, either a traitor or a thief. Zhuo Mufeng asked himself that he had no friendship with Zheng Nian, except for having a brief contact in the Tianfu, but at that time he was wearing a mask and his pseudonym Lu Juntian, and the other party didn't know it was him.
In addition, both sides will meet and say hello in public at most.
Zhuo Mufeng couldn't help but feel alert, looked up and smiled, "You are polite, Elder Zheng, right? According to the etiquette of the martial arts world, it should be the younger generation visiting the seniors." His tone was full of respect, but at the same time he had a sense of alienation.
Meng Jiuxiao on the side was not that easy to talk to. He didn't get up from beginning to end, looked at Zheng Nian coldly, and snorted, "Whoever has the purpose of being surnamed Zheng, just say it straight, don't bully my son-in-law when he is young and simple."
Zheng Nian was still laughing, but he was scolded in his heart. He was young and simple? How could he be young and simple? He almost killed everyone last time, but he even made a fuss afterwards. Such a person is worthy of being called simple?
However, if you have any requests, Zheng Nian will not expose it. Seeing that there was a cushion next to him, he sat down spontaneously and smiled at Zhuo Mufeng, "Brother, you and I belong to the Eastern Zhou family. Haomiaoyuan and Sanjiang League have maintained close relationships all year round. Last time..."
Meng Jiuxiao directly interrupted, "My surname is Zheng, I'm talking about the key point, my son-in-law still needs to rest early."
In the past, the two of them met each other, and in terms of martial arts and status, Zheng Nian was not afraid of Meng Jiuxiao at all. Seeing that this guy was clambering on his head, Zheng Nian was so angry that he cursed that he was ruling with others.
Seeing that Zhuo Mufeng had a smile on his lips, he felt impatient. He paused in his heart and finally did not dare to go around again. He leaned forward and said with a sad face, "I'm not hiding it from my face. This time, the battle with the Heavenly Puppet Army will be a life-threatening death. I don't know how many people can survive. Brother, my life, and the lives of everyone in Haomiaoyuan, all depends on you."
Zhuo Mufeng was frightened and said hurriedly, "Why did Elder Zheng say this? What does your lives in the Haomiaoyuan have to do with me? I didn't force you to come in!"
As a result, the last sentence scared the other two again, and shouted, "Brother (Mu Feng) Be careful!" He did not forget to look around.
Meng Jiuxiao stood up and walked out in an insulting manner, lifted the curtain, poked his head out and looked around, and then walked back with relief.
Zheng Nian didn't have time to pay attention to so much. When he saw Zhuo Mufeng pretending to be stupid, he simply showed up and said, "Brother, don't hide the matter now. Everyone can see some things. The Great Elder of the East loves you so much, and he will not let you take risks, and he doesn't want to make things difficult for you.
I just hope you can say something occasionally and stretch out your hand. I will be grateful to you. My master of Haomiaoyuan will also express your gratitude to you, my brother!”
After saying that, he stood up solemnly, patted his sleeves, bowed to Zhuo Mufeng, and then bent down, as if waiting for Zhuo Mufeng's answer.
This time it was not just Zhuo Mufeng, but even Meng Jiuxiao changed his face. He guessed Zheng Nian’s thoughts early in the morning, but he did not expect that Zheng Nian would be so humble for Zhuo Mufeng’s verbal promise.
With Zheng Nian's qualifications and character, he would not have been like this until he had no choice but to do anything.
Meng Jiuxiao suddenly felt a little sympathetic to the other party. Haomiaoyuan is far stronger than the Sanjiang Alliance, and the elder Zheng Nian has always been more energetic than himself. But look at this incident. From the beginning of the conscript, what is the difference between Haomiaoyuan and ordinary forces in the rivers and lakes? Faced with the forced orders of the Twelve Holy Lands, there is no other way except to surrender.
The only place where they are lucky than Haomiaoyuan in the Three Jiang Alliance is the only existence of Zhuo Mufeng. Without this magical son-in-law, could Meng Jiuxiao still sit here and watch jokes from his former opponents? I am afraid that they will be like the other party, for everyone's safety!
Thinking of Zheng Nian licking his face and calling me brother to those who had lowered him for several generations, now he broke his dignity with his own hands and bowed to ask. Meng Jiuxiao couldn't tell how it felt. He pursed his lips and looked at Zhuo Mufeng.
At this time, Zhuo Mufeng also figured it out, but he had trouble.
Perhaps in the eyes of outsiders, Dongfang Changsheng does care about himself very much, but Zhuo Mufeng knows better than anyone else that this care is not safe and can be taken back anytime and anywhere.
If one day he obtained the Wanhua Demonic Art and was known to the Dongfang family, what awaited him would never be understanding and generous, but more likely to be a ruthless bloody butcher knife.
It is conceivable that Dongfang Changsheng can sit in his current seat. In fact, every time Zhuo Mufeng faces that kind-eyed face, he feels tense. He even has to think carefully about his words and expressions. Every contact is not easier than a battle.
In this case, if he expresses his intention of being arrogant and speaking for forces such as Haomiaoyuan, it is very likely to attract Dongfang Changsheng's cold suppression.
To put it bluntly, Zhuo Mufeng has nothing to do with the Dongfang family, and it is more of a kind of interest exchange with clear masters and subordinates, and this relationship is the least reliable.
However, looking at Zheng Nian, whose whole body was stiff, his face was facing the soil, and his hands were trembling slightly, Zhuo Mufeng could not say anything to refuse for a moment.
People respect me one foot, and I respect others one foot. This guy is essentially a guy who is soft but not hard. When someone puts his face up and asks, he really can't slap him.
Both sides are not enemies, and Zhuo Mufeng will not be so stupid as to make enemies for no reason. No matter whether he is proud or frustrated, he actually tries to establish a friendly relationship with others.
With a thought, Zhuo Mufeng quickly stood up, grabbed Zheng Nian's arm, and smiled in panic and helplessly, "Elder Zheng, you really ruin me. I am not as powerful as you imagined. I am afraid I will let down your expectations."
Hearing this, Zheng Nian's slowly raised old face turned slightly white, and Meng Jiuxiao also opened his mouth, but then he heard Zhuo Mufeng say, "I can only guarantee that I will try my best to help Haomiaoyuan within my ability."
Zheng Nian's eyes widened and excitedly said, "Brother, take this seriously?"
Zhuo Mufeng smiled bitterly and said, "Elder Zheng, please stop calling me brother, I can't afford it."
Zheng Nian is an open-minded and smart person. When he heard Zhuo Mufeng agreeing, he thought of the Haomiaoyuan’s investigation results on this son. This son is definitely not a fat man who broke his promise and laughed and said, “Who said that I can’t afford to be a brother, unless I dislike me, Zheng Nian, overestimate my ability.”
These two brothers are much more sincere than the ones.
Zhuo Mufeng shook his head. When he said this, he would be a little inhumane to shirk his words, so he had to pull Zheng Nian down and talk.
Meng Jiuxiao snorted from the side, "My surname is Zheng, if there is a turning point this time, don't be ungrateful."
Zheng Nian relaxed a little more than before and retorted, "Nonsense, is my old Zheng like this?"
The three of them talked about the situation here again. Previously, Zhuo Mufeng learned about the difficulty of the Heavenly Puppet Army through the mouth of the surviving death row prisoner who came to replace the Sanjiang League. Now, after Zheng Nian supplemented it, he became more and more aware of the difficulty of the Heavenly Puppet Army.
Those creatures are not afraid of death and have no pain. They only have the instinct to constantly attack, and their defense and vitality are extremely strong. What's even more terrifying is that if they are bitten by them, the effectiveness of the Fengtian Pill will be greatly reduced.
In fact, many dead people did not really die, but became members of the Tianpu Army after being injured, and instead attacked their former companions!
In the past half a month, 70% of the masters who entered the world died, but the Tianpu Army consumed less than 30%, which was the main reason.
Zheng Nian didn't stay for too long, for fear of affecting Zhuo Mufeng's rest. Soon after, he proposed goodbye and Zhuo Mufeng and the others sent him outside the tent.
Unexpectedly, as soon as Zheng Nian left, Tao Bo came in, and said, "Brother," he looked anxious to ask for help."
Zhuo Mufeng and Meng Jiuxiao looked at each other and knew very well that Tao Bo must have come a long time ago, but probably noticed the movement in the tent, fearing that he was embarrassed, so he waited until Zheng Nian left before appearing.
The elders in the top Tao family are still above Zheng Nian, but they are so evasive and cautious, which really makes them feel confused.
Zhuo Mufeng certainly knew Tao Bo's purpose, and the other party's attitude was lower than Zheng Nian and humble, which made Zhuo Mufeng feel embarrassed. After he finished speaking, in his expectant and nervous eyes, he could only bite the bullet and say that he would do his best.
In fact, this guy has no idea. Even if he can help, he will help Haomiaoyuan and Tao family. Do you really think that he has such a big face in Dongfang Changsheng?
But things are far from over.
After dealing with Tao Bo, Miao Li, the elder of the Miao family, came to the door again. With the relationship between the Miao family and the Sanjiang League, the other party praised Mufeng again, clearly playing the emotional card. Can Zhuo Mufeng still refuse?
"It must be certain, why would you not help the Miao family?"
After Miao Li, Zhuge Tai, the elder of the Arrow Island, who was first in a tragedy, and finally mentioned the swornship between Wu Guanting and the island leader Yang Gu, who intentionally or unintentionally. Zhuo Mufeng had to express his opinion that he would definitely help.
Zhang Shuyu from Yuhuan Tower is even more amazing. This woman probably has given up her own words. She said that her daughter Qiu Rongshang is so pitiful and misses Zhuo Mufeng, but she can only stay in Luoyanmen across the sea to look at each other.
Zhuo Mufeng secretly shouted to spare his life and could only continue to deal with it. Only then did Zhang Shuyu leave with satisfaction.
Later, Huang Jubao of the Beggars' Sect, Tian Yu of the Spring and Autumn League, Xing Qianren of the Iron Blood League and other sects came to the door one after another. Anyway, they all have the same meaning. Brother, you can't stand by death and refuse to save me.
When everyone was sent away, it was getting dark. Zhuo Mufeng and Meng Jiuxiao both wiped their sweat and their mouths were almost dry. At this time, Yin Xiangfeng and others came, very curious about what had happened before.
Meng Jiuxiao intended to protect the face of the elders of various sects and explained a few casually. Then everyone walked out of the tent and went to the temporary canteen to have dinner.
But as soon as he entered, Zhuo Mufeng regretted it. In addition to Xuanzong, Zihua City, and Yanyu Tower, all major sects, from elders to disciples, expressed kindness to Zhuo Mufeng. The elders even invited Zhuo Mufeng to eat together, but they almost pulled him away and broke him into half.
The guards from the major holy places outside were stunned. Unexpectedly, Kuanglong had such a high prestige in the Eastern Zhou Dynasty, as if he was the boss of various sects.
No one can agree to this situation. Zhuo Mufeng could only smile and decline one by one, and then led the masters of Sanjiang League to sit in the open space, waiting for his subordinates to get the food, ignore the friendly sights thrown by all parties, and quickly resolved with his head down, and then left the scene as if he ran away.
