Your Human Emperor Banner is already emitting evil spirits, and you're still pretending to be a

To make matters worse, Zuo Jincheng was seriously injured while fighting bandits outside the city, and people from the imperial court came to the Feng family to demand food.

It seemed as if everything just happened to coincide with each other.

"Mr. Feng, please don't blame me and my brothers for not giving you face. The higher-ups are pressing us hard, and we have no other options. Please don't make things difficult for us."

Several yamen runners looked at Old Man Feng with a half-smile.

They must have received the news in advance and knew that Sakonjo was injured, so they came at this time.

"Could you give me a little more time? I'll go talk to my old friend."

"I might as well tell you that it's useless no matter who you ask for this time. Either you take out the food, or Mr. Feng will have to go with us."

This level is obviously not that easy to pass.

Seeing Old Man Feng groveling beside them, the two Feng sisters' faces turned extremely ugly, but they were powerless to do anything. The imperial court was a behemoth that people like them could not resist.

The old man of the Feng family has a backer in the court, but this time it will be useless no matter which backer they bring out.

Someone is determined to deal with him, and there is no way to escape.

"It's not the deadline given by the court yet, is it? Aren't you breaking the rules by doing this? The deadline given by the court is the end of today. The Feng family will seize this last half day to gather all the food and supplies. Please go back first."

No one expected Xu Feng to stand up at this time.

He was even more disappointed when he heard his words. They had not thought of a solution for such a long time. Even if Zuo Kuncheng woke up in the last half day, it would be too late to save the situation.

"Who are you? I remember that Mr. Feng didn't seem to have a son?"

The head of the yamen runners turned around, stared at Xu Feng and asked.

Someone nearby knew Xu Feng and stepped forward to remind him.

"He is the son-in-law of the Feng family."

"I was wondering who you were. It turns out you're the famous loser of the Feng family. What good will this half day do to you? You'd better seize the opportunity. We'll come back tomorrow morning."

Although the other party looked down on Xu Feng, he still gave him half a day.

They didn't think that Xu Feng could gather all the food and supplies in half a day. After all, there had been no progress for so long. If he really could gather all the food and supplies, he would have done it long ago. Why would he have to wait until now?

Without waiting for the old man to speak, the group left the Feng family, completely ignoring him.

Old Master Feng didn't appreciate it at all. As he watched them disappear, he started to curse Xu Feng.

"What's the point of buying half a day? It will only make the other side keep an eye on us. If you have any ability, you won't be so clever as to try these tricks here."

"Look at my nephew Zuo. At least he has the courage to face the bandits. Unlike you, you just hide at home like a turtle."

Xu Feng looked at Old Man Feng coldly. This old man was also confused. It was only a matter of time before the Feng family fell into decline. Zuo Jincheng could fool most of the Feng family with his cleverness.

How do they discern other dangers?

Just as everyone was discussing countermeasures with sad faces, Sakonjo came out from the back hall, holding his chest.

"Don't worry, Mr. Feng. I had other plans before I got hurt."

"Nephew, please lie down and have a good rest. Don't get out of bed yet. No matter what, you must heal your injuries first."

Old Master Feng's treatment of Zuo Jincheng and Xu Feng is completely at two extremes. On the one hand, he hates Xu Feng, and on the other hand, he tries to please Zuo Jincheng.

Zuo Kuncheng was still weak, and he was not pretending. He was indeed seriously injured during this outing.

"Before I got injured, I had already asked a friend to find the bandits to borrow food. My friend has a good relationship with the bandits, so I'm sure he won't disappoint us. All you need to do is wait patiently."

Everyone finally breathed a sigh of relief. In their opinion, Zuo Jincheng was much more reliable than Xu Feng.

With his promise, the matter is basically settled.

"We still have to rely on my nephew. Someone please send my nephew Zuo to rest."

"No need. Ordinary herbs are unlikely to help with my injuries. I need to return to the sect as soon as possible so that I can recover faster."

Old Master Feng and Feng Yuzhi did not doubt Zuo Jincheng and personally sent him out.

Only Feng Yumian complained.

"He said he was borrowing food from the bandits. I think he just wants to hide. If you have a friend like him, why didn't you call him out earlier? Why did you have to wait until now?"

"Don't talk nonsense, be careful not to upset my nephew."

Facing the old man's scolding, Feng Yumian curled his lips and planned to look for Xu Feng. However, when he turned around, he found that Xu Feng had disappeared and he couldn't find him no matter how hard he looked.

At this time, Xu Feng had changed his clothes and went to find another group of bandits in person.

He did not act rashly, but first found a place to inquire about the background of this group of bandits, and made all the necessary preparations before arriving at the other side's mountain gate.

Before he got close, he found that this group of bandits was obviously more professional and stronger than the group in Qixia Mountain. This could be seen from the patrol personnel they arranged.

They were in groups of three or four, so there was no chance of a sneak attack.

"We can't go head-on this time. Let's ignore these minions for now and deal with their leader first."

They are very strong, and Xu Feng is no pushover either. After several upgrades, he doesn't think he is much weaker than these bandits.

What's more, he has the trump card of the Emperor's Banner.

The only person who deserved his attention was the bandit leader, who was a master who had reached the minor perfection of the Grandmaster realm.

Xu Feng sneaked into the mountain stronghold quietly, and solved all the obstacles he encountered without alerting the main force.

"Their leader should be in the Juyi Hall. This is the kitchen, so we can sneak over there quietly."

Xu Feng made up his mind and started to act.

Unexpectedly, an accident happened as soon as I entered the kitchen. A woman in red was stealing roast chicken in the kitchen. Judging from her appearance, she must have been hungry for several days.

Xu Feng pondered for a moment and did not take any action.

The woman in red was most likely a good girl who was abducted by bandits. There was no need to kill her to silence her, as he was not a murderer.

"Ah! Who are you and why are you here?"

The woman in red realized it later. Seeing that the other party had no scruples at all, Xu Feng quickly stepped forward and covered her mouth.

"Keep your voice down and don't be afraid. I'll rescue you when I go down the mountain later."

"As for now, I have other things to arrange. Just stay here quietly and don't make any noise."

Hearing this, the woman in red silently inserted the dagger that had been half-drawn out.

Xu Feng had no idea that the woman in red was not a so-called good woman at all, but the bandit leader of Hongfeng Mountain. It was mainly due to inertia of thinking that was at work.

He only thought that the bandit leader of Hongfeng Mountain was also a vicious and evil person, and did not dare to think about it at all, let alone whose bandit leader would steal roast chicken in the kitchen in the middle of the night.
