Chapter 20 The Lion Cave in the Snow Forest
Because of Yan Xi's tragic defeat, the Baji Pavilion was already in chaos. Lan Feihong took advantage of the chaos and walked out of the Baji Pavilion. He was still thinking about who He Biao was and why a cultivator would interfere with the secular world.
middle.
Although Baji Pavilion tried its best to block the news, there is no airtight wall in the world. One word spread to ten, and ten spread to hundreds. Soon the news spread throughout Gangu City that the master of Baji Pavilion, Yan Xi, was defeated by He Biao, the chief of the Qingcheng Escort Bureau.
The incident became more and more exaggerated as the rumors spread. Since Yan Xi never showed up, no one from Baji Pavilion came forward to express his position. In the end, there were even rumors that Yan Xi was killed by He Biao.
Lan Feihong originally wanted to go to the Qingcheng Escort Bureau again to inquire about it, but unfortunately he had already alerted the snake last time. The other party must have strengthened their defenses, and he already knew that He Biao was an immortal cultivator, and his cultivation level was probably above him, so
He couldn't go any further rashly.
Since he couldn't go to the Qingcheng Escort Bureau, Lan Feihong planned to go to Shifang to inquire. As he was walking on the road, a person behind him stopped him: "Brother, walk slowly!"
The voice sounded familiar. Lan Feihong turned around and happened to see the short-haired boy walking quickly towards him. It was Feng Yao, the "inquirer" who had previously sold information to him.
"Brother, walk slower!" Feng Yao quickly caught up with Lan Feihong and said with a smile on his face: "Brother, I don't want to show my face. Can I ask you to go to the teahouse to talk to me?"
Lan Feihong was puzzled. This person was only acquainted with him. Although he told him the news about Shifang, Lan Feihong also used a bottle of "strengthening pills" as a reward. The two of them did not owe each other.
Why are you speaking so politely today?
It turned out that as soon as Lan Feihong left after inquiring about the news, Feng Yao asked someone to find a sect to sell elixirs. Unexpectedly, the leader of the sect couldn't sit still when he saw the strengthening pills he brought. Not only did he spend a lot of money
After buying it, he also told Feng Yao to take as much as he wanted, the more the merrier.
No, how could Feng Yao not please him and dig deeper when he saw Lan Feihong again?
Lan Feihong was eager to inquire about Bai Leng'er and wanted to refuse, but after thinking about it he decided to go. After all, Feng Yao did have some information in his mouth, and it was better to inquire from him than running around like a headless fly.
The two came to a teahouse and asked for a private room. Feng Yao personally brewed a pot of good tea and handed it to Lan Feihong. He said, "I was blind a few days ago and didn't know my brother's name? Let's make friends."
How are you friends?"
Lan Feihong was a little surprised and said, "I don't know what Brother Feng wants from me, so just tell me."
Feng Yao chuckled: "I won't hide it from you. I got a good price for the bottle of elixir you gave me that day. I thought the little information I had was worth it in comparison, so I came here today to invite my brother.
Drinking tea, my brother must be a young master from that aristocratic family or a disciple of a major sect?" Feng Yao guessed this when he saw Lan Feihong's handsome appearance, extraordinary temperament, and generous spending.
Lan Feihong didn't know that the elixir he took out at random was a treasure coveted by martial arts practitioners. Seeing what Feng Yao said, he took the opportunity to say: "Senior of the sect asked me not to show off when I go out, so don't say anything."
Hearing what Lan Feihong said, Feng Yao felt that his guess was correct, and his desire to make friends with him became more and more intense. You must know that people like Feng Yao are wandering in Gangu City, living in an embarrassing situation.
Some people in the sect looked down upon him at all. If he could befriend a large number of people in the sect, wouldn't his status be greatly improved and he would be superior to others?
"Brother, can you tell me your name? I, Feng Yao, really want to make you a friend." Feng Yao sat aside and said with a sincere face.
"Lan Feihong." Lan Feihong said nonchalantly, raised his tea cup and took a sip, then said: "I was just about to ask Brother Feng something, but I don't know..."
Feng Yao's face showed joy: "What did Brother Lan say? Just ask, Brother Yu will definitely know everything."
Lan Feihong looked embarrassed, sighed falsely, and said: "Actually, I asked Brother Feng about the stone workshop for a reason. A few days ago, my junior brother and I sneaked out of the sect to enjoy the mountains and rivers, but I didn't know
I was robbed by a group of bandits on the way, and my junior brother was snatched away on the spot by those people. After many inquiries, I heard that he was sold to Yuezhou Shifang. Unfortunately, I was a newbie here and I was alone. Looking for people in Gangu City was like looking for a needle in a haystack. My junior brother was
If the sect elder's only son cannot be found, I'm afraid I won't be able to return to the sect."
"So that's how it is!" Feng Yao slammed the table after hearing this, stood up and said righteously: "I didn't expect that these so-called well-known and decent people could do such despicable and dirty things secretly to dig out mineral veins while openly benefiting one party. It's really abominable.
Don't worry, Brother Lan, your business is my business, I will definitely help you find out where your junior brother is."
After hearing this, Lan Feihong immediately showed gratitude. He stood up and clasped his fists and said, "Thank you so much, Brother Feng." After saying that, he took out a bottle of elixir from his sleeve and handed it over as a reward. Feng Yao quickly refused and said that he
He was willing to help not because he was greedy for money, but because he sincerely wanted to make Lan Feihong as a friend. Lan Feihong said that it would be inevitable for him to inquire about information and spend some money and materials. Feng Yao thought about it for a while and accepted it. He immediately got up and left, patting his chest to assure himself.
Let Lan Feihong wait for news at this time tomorrow.
The next day, in the same teahouse, there was a creak, and the door to the private room was pushed open. Feng Yao rushed in, drank three large bowls of tea, and after taking a breath, he said: "Brother Lan, Brother Yu, you are lucky to have lived up to your fate!
"
"Really?" Lan Feihong was overjoyed when he heard this: "Is there any news about my junior brother?"
"Yes." Feng Yao nodded and said: "According to Brother Lan's description, I have inquired in many ways and it seems to be close to ten."
"Then where is my junior brother?" Lan Feihong asked impatiently, wondering what Bai Leng'er's current situation is now.
At this time, Feng Yao's face was a little solemn, and he sighed: "I bribed a dealer who specializes in buying and selling coolies for Shifang. I found out that your junior brother was secretly kidnapped by two disciples of the Qingcheng Escort Agency. He should be imprisoned at this time.
In the snowy forest outside the city."
"Where is Feng Xuelin? I'll go right away." Lan Feihong stood up and was about to rescue Bai Leng'er, but was stopped by Feng Yao. Feng Yao said: "I heard that the Qingcheng Escort Bureau planned to dig out the newly discovered mineral veins.
Therefore, a large number of coolies are needed, and these coolies are imprisoned in the Lion's Cave in the Snow Forest three miles away from Gangu City. However, the coolies guarding these coolies are all skilled martial arts experts from the Qingcheng Escort Bureau. It is impossible for the two of us to defeat them with our bare hands.
Rescued by people.”
"Qingcheng Escort Agency?" Lan Feihong muttered silently. The Qingcheng Escort Agency had many secrets, and their chief, He Biao, was an immortal cultivator. This made him a little worried at this time.
"Brother Lan, don't worry. I heard that the chief of the Qingcheng Escort Bureau, He Biao, gave an order not to treat those coolies harshly. I believe your junior brother is still safe at this time."
"only…"
"But what?" Lan Feihong asked. Feng Yao seemed to be a bit embarrassed.
Feng Yao shook his head and said helplessly: "I also heard that He Biao gave an order to bury all the coolies alive in the mine after the glazed veins are dug, leaving no one behind!"
"What?" Lan Feihong looked shocked when he heard this. Why did the Qingcheng Escort Bureau do such a cruel and inhumane thing? There must be something fishy in it.
Lan Feihong frowned, recalling the day he eavesdropped outside the inner courtyard of the Qingcheng Escort Bureau. It seemed that the people in the room were talking about some kind of spirit stone vein. He knew about this spirit stone, and it was a kind of spiritual stone that cultivators relied heavily on.
Ore is bred from the spiritual energy of heaven and earth. The spiritual energy contained in it is extremely pure. It can not only be used directly for cultivation, but can also be used to build formations and spiritual veins. It has endless magical uses. It is also a hard currency circulated among immortal cultivators.
…
"Could it be..." Lan Feihong stood up suddenly and seemed to have thought of the reason. Since He Biao was an immortal cultivator, he must have done this to prevent the spiritual stone veins from being leaked.
"Brother Lan, what's wrong with you?" Feng Yao asked in confusion when he saw Lan Feihong stand up suddenly.
"Oh, it's nothing." Lan Feihong came back to his senses and replied lightly. He asked Feng Yao to tell him the location of the Lion's Cave in Fengxue Forest and then left alone. Feng Yao was somewhat loyal and planned to go with him, but was ignored by Lan Feihong.
