Sakonjo's face turned blue and red, and no one knew what he was thinking.

The old man returned safely, and Feng Yumian became the heartless girl again, with a smile on her face. For her, this age was just the time to be carefree.

"Let's go. I don't want to hang out with them here at night. Send me back to rest. I'm tired."

Feng Yumian has been speaking up for Xu Feng, but unfortunately no one takes her words to heart.

When Xu Feng left, he felt that someone was staring at his back. He knew without thinking that it was Zuo Jincheng.

He knew that the other party probably had some doubts in his heart, but he was not sure whether it was true or not for the time being.

I thought the matter was over, but at noon the next day, Mr. Feng called everyone together again.

"Dad, the imperial court knows that you were abducted by bandits, yet they're deliberately making things difficult for you. Could it be that someone is targeting you?"

"That must be the case. Otherwise, why would the court order me to send the grain back within a certain time limit?"

It's really a wave of upheaval.

Through the conversation between Feng Yuzhi and the old man, Xu Feng had already judged the general situation. Although the old man was rescued, a batch of food was still lost.

Now the court needs him to recover the lost grain.

"We don't have much food stored at home. Even if we hand it over, it won't be of much use. Is there really no other way?"

"I can't take care of that anymore. I need to evacuate everyone at home as soon as possible to avoid getting involved."

It turned out that this was the real reason why Old Man Feng gathered everyone together. As an experienced man, he naturally understood that since the other party was deliberately targeting him, this matter might not be that simple. Unless he could gather all the food, he would be doomed.

We can only try to minimize the losses while the situation is still under control.

Seeing Xu Feng, the old man spoke expressionlessly.

"Xu Feng, go ahead and get some silver from the treasury. I bet you won't stay to help us through this difficult time. No one will make things difficult for you."

Xu Feng opened his mouth, not knowing what to say. Feng Yuzhi often spoke ill of Xu Feng in front of the old man, which led to the old man Feng having a bad impression of Xu Feng.

Of course Xu Feng couldn't leave. He was not the kind of ungrateful person who would abandon his companions when in danger.

"Things haven't come to this point yet, why should the old man make any final plans?"

"Besides, the food and fodder were only lost, and there's a high probability that they are in the hands of other mountains and rivers. As long as we can find the food back, we can naturally survive this disaster."

His meaning was very clear, he was willing to step forward to retrieve the grain.

"With your ability, it would be a sign of your courage if you didn't get scared to death when you saw those bandits. If you were really relied on to recover the grain, I'm afraid the court's responsibility would have fallen on everyone's head long ago."

Zuo Jincheng started to mock and ridicule as soon as he arrived. Everyone had already regarded him as the backbone. When they saw Zuo Jincheng, they no longer paid attention to Xu Feng. No one cared what Xu Feng said.

"Don't worry, everyone. I will take care of the food and fodder issues, and I will definitely not give the imperial court any leverage."

Upon hearing this, Mr. Feng was overjoyed and stepped forward to pat Zuo Jincheng on the shoulder.

"I knew my nephew would not let me down."

Xu Feng was not so optimistic. He felt that this problem was not something that Zuo Jincheng could solve alone. How could they gather so much food in such a short time? Jianfengshan could not subsidize it by itself.

Zuo Kuncheng's status in Kenpuzhan is not that high yet. He is probably just making a promise.

"How are you going to deal with so much food? You can't just conjure it out of thin air."

Faced with Xu Feng's questioning, Zuo Jincheng's expression froze.

"My dear nephew, could you tell me where you got so much food and supplies?"

"There are quite a few bandits nearby who have stored a large amount of food. I suspect the missing food is also related to them. As long as we can capture them, the food crisis will naturally be resolved."

There was an obvious trace of guilt on Zuo Jincheng's face, but everyone's attention was drawn to his words, and no one except Xu Feng noticed his expression.

"Okay, okay, nephew, you can wipe out the Qixia Mountain bandits, and it's no problem to wipe out other bandits. We will wait for your good news here, and when you come back, we will hold a celebration banquet for you."

"Master, just get ready. I'll be right back."

Zuo Jincheng's face was full of confidence, as if he really regarded the annihilation of Qixia Mountain as his own achievement.

Xu Feng watched coldly and ignored the other party.

When passing by Xu Feng, Zuo Jincheng raised the scabbard of his sword and poked his chest.

"Just wait here for me to come back and see how I gather all the food and supplies the old man needs. Then I'll throw you out with my own hands and make you get out of here convinced."

"Okay, if you have the ability, I will leave. I'm afraid you won't be able to gather enough food and supplies, and you might not even be able to escape from them."

"Stop cursing me here. I'm much better than a loser like you anyway."

I don’t know where Zuo Jincheng got his confidence from. You know, although the overall strength of the other gangs of bandits entrenched around Gusu City is not as good as that of Qixia Mountain, they are not so easy to mess with.

Each of them is extremely fierce, and they are connected to each other.

If you attack without preparation, you will never gain any advantage.

Xu Feng seemed to have anticipated Zuo Jincheng's defeat. Sure enough, Zuo Jincheng brought a large group of people to cause trouble for the bandits.

He was sent back in the afternoon, covered in wounds and dying.

"Zuo Lang, what...what on earth is going on? Why is he injured so badly?"

Seeing Zuo Jin covered in blood, everyone in the Feng family was shocked, especially Feng Yuzhi.

Even Old Master Feng was a little panicked. If something happened to Zuo Jincheng, the Feng family would really have no hope.

"My dear nephew, are you okay? Who hurt you like this? Could it be that someone among the people you brought with you betrayed you?"

"We underestimated the strength of the bandits and fell into their ambush."

Zuo Jincheng spat out a mouthful of blood as he spoke, and it was obvious that the injuries on his body were not fake. Seeing this, Old Master Feng quickly arranged for a doctor to come and treat him.

"No matter what the cost, we must make sure that my nephew recovers as soon as possible."

After learning about this, Xu Feng did not say anything sarcastic. He was thinking about how to help the Feng family overcome this difficulty.

"Maybe I have to do it myself again."

After thinking about it, Xu Feng could only think of this method, and he covered his head with his hands in pain.

What he wants is peace and stability, not this kind of busyness running around all day.

"Forget it, let this be the last time. If I don't take action, the Feng family will definitely not escape this disaster."

Xu Feng still couldn't just stand by and watch.

The entire Feng family was once again filled with gloom, and even the servants and maids who usually shouted loudly could not help but speak in a much slower tone.
