The culprit had been brought to justice, and Xu Feng simply cleaned up the battlefield and left the top of the mountain.
He did not deliberately look for any good things. Money was nothing to him. As for the secret manual of attacking techniques, there was no need for that. He could get all the memories of the bandit leader, so there was no need for that.
The scene was in a mess, with corpses everywhere. Not long after he left, everyone went up the mountain.
"Where's the ghost-faced man? Why can't I see him?"
"Could it be that they are in danger? Search around quickly!"
"That shouldn't be the case. If he didn't have confidence in his own abilities, why would he go up the mountain alone?"
……
After all, he saved their lives, and everyone was grateful for this. Most of the people in the martial arts world are still very loyal.
Only Zuo Kuncheng followed the crowd reluctantly. He didn't want to have anything to do with the ghost-faced man, and he didn't want to admit that the other party saved his life.
"Why waste time here? I think he's probably already escaped. It's better for us to return as soon as possible."
Someone paid attention to Sakonjo's nonsense, and at this moment, a cry of surprise suddenly came from the side.
"Look, isn't this the bandit leader's body? The other leaders are here too."
"Yes, I've seen him before, and there's a very obvious mole on his forehead."
Everyone gathered around and saw that the bandit leader's body was covered with sword marks, and the mark on his throat was particularly obvious.
Just seeing it made people feel scared. Zuo Jincheng couldn't help but touch his throat, his body shuddered, and his eyes were full of fear.
He had only been in contact with the Ghost-Faced Talent for a short time, but the other party's strength increased at an unprecedented speed.
"If this continues, I'll probably have to avoid him when I see him next time."
He had to admit the fact that the Ghost-Faced Man was stronger than him.
"What should we do now? Brother Zuo, how are we going to explain this to the court when we return?"
"Don't reveal the existence of the Ghost Face Man in the future?"
……
The matter is over, and everyone must come to a conclusion before leaving.
At this time, Sakonjo, who had been silent, jumped out again.
"Of course we have to bring the bandit leader's body back to claim the reward and say he died at our hands. Otherwise, we won't be able to explain ourselves, after all, so many people died."
"Besides, the Ghost-Faced Man is killing innocent people indiscriminately in Gusu City. If people knew that we were involved with him, wouldn't we become the target of public criticism?"
Zuo Jincheng explained the pros and cons clearly, but no one agreed, and everyone felt a little uncomfortable.
Taking credit for other people's achievements and discrediting them is not the style of most of them.
As if he had guessed what everyone was thinking, Sakonjo continued.
"Don't forget that the Ghost-Faced Man has been targeted by the Six Gates. Once the Six Gates learn that we are involved with the Ghost-Faced Man, the consequences will be unbearable for everyone."
In the end, everyone had no choice but to compromise and agreed.
"In that case, let's do as Mr. Zuo says."
This time it seemed that Zuo Kuncheng won a great victory. Not only did he get all the benefits, but he also took the credit for himself. In fact, compared with what he lost, it was not worth mentioning.
The friends he invited have already seen his true face and everyone has understood that he is just a villain who is hypocritical on the surface.
I will definitely not help you if you have any problems later.
The good image that Zuo Jincheng has always maintained has been completely exposed this time.
On the other side, Xu Feng quickly returned to the courtyard.
After cleaning up briefly and making sure there was no smell of blood on his body, he lay on the bed waiting for news. Old Master Feng had not been sent back yet, so the Feng Mansion would definitely be bustling soon.
Not long after, there was indeed a noise outside.
When they went out to take a look, they saw that it was Zuo Jincheng who brought Old Man Feng back. Feng Yuzhi and her sister were overjoyed to see the old man.
Especially Feng Yuzhi, she wanted to throw herself into Zuo Jincheng's arms.
"Thank you, Brother Zuo. I knew you wouldn't let me down. This time, it's all thanks to you. Otherwise, the Feng family wouldn't be able to handle this trouble."
"It's just a small matter, don't worry about it. The old man was frightened, so let's send him to rest."
Xu Feng heard the conversation between the two as soon as he got outside.
He understood that Zuo Kuncheng must have shamelessly taken the credit for himself, which was consistent with his character.
"Xu Feng, you're back from wandering around outside? You're useless. Look at Brother Zuo."
Seeing Xu Feng coming in, Feng Yuzhi started cursing.
Old Master Feng was also dissatisfied. He was captured by the bandits, but he still had the mind to go out and stroll around.
"You're not interested in taking the imperial examinations, and you find martial arts training too tiring. You can't really be a useless person your whole life, right?"
Sakonjo also joined in.
"The old man's life or death is unknown, and he still has the mind to wander around. I think you should establish some rules so that some people understand their place."
Xu Feng didn't take everyone's words to heart. He looked at Zuo Jincheng with a smile and asked.
"Did you really save this person? You saved him with your own hands, and no one else interfered?"
Zuo Jincheng wanted to nod in agreement, but when he thought of the ghost-faced man, he felt a little guilty. He never thought that Mr. Feng would actually speak for Zuo Jincheng.
"Of course it's him. Who else could it be? If it weren't for my nephew Zuo, this trip would have been very dangerous for me."
Seeing this, Xu Feng stopped talking. If it weren't for Feng Yumian, he wouldn't have gone to save people.
"You've even learned to question others. Daddy and Master Zuo came back together, so how could it be fake? But you've been hiding out there, having nothing to do. I wonder how worried we are about Daddy at home."
When he heard that Xu Feng was hiding outside, Mr. Feng became even angrier.
"Yuzhi, you can't say that. He can only write a few poems. You can't ask him to write poems for bandits, right?"
Zuo Jincheng's ridicule became even more intense. Seeing that he had no intention of restraining himself, Xu Feng raised his head and said something sarcastic.
"It's probably best if you rescued him yourself, but don't try to be nice by taking credit for someone else's work."
These words seemed to hit Sakonjo right in the heart, making him furious.
"What did you say? How dare you insult me?"
As soon as he finished speaking, he was ready to attack Xu Feng. Xu Feng did not resist, but just avoided Zuo Jincheng. With the other party's current strength, he was no longer his opponent. If he didn't want to, Zuo Jincheng would never be able to hurt him.
Zuo Jincheng didn't believe it, and accidentally grabbed Xu Feng's sleeve, and then his pupils shrank.
"How did you get hurt?"
When the ghost-faced man was helping everyone block the first wave of arrows, he was accidentally shot by an arrow.
They could see everything in Zuojincheng very clearly.
But I didn’t expect that Xu Feng also had a wound on his arm, which made it hard not to think too much.
"When I was leaving earlier, I accidentally ran into a beggar at the door and got scratched on the arm by him."
Xu Feng explained lightly, as for whether Zuo Jincheng believed it or not, that was his business.
