Chapter 1228 This person is not simple!
In the Heguang room, Zhu Feng and Jian Ruocheng were still facing each other in silence.
Neither of them said a word.
Outside the window, the wind blew gently on the bamboo forest, and the bamboo leaves swayed with a rustling sound; the wind blew through the doors and windows and into this spacious and elegant room. A wisp of light smoke rose from the teacup on the low table in front of them, and was quickly blown away by the wind.
All this was happening slowly, but the two of them remained motionless.
Only where their eyes met, it seemed as if a fire was ignited.
Nan Yan sat next to Zhu Feng, watching the two of them facing each other in silence, and felt her breathing and heartbeat become suppressed.
She also understood from Zhu Feng's words that he did not just come to Zhujian Academy today.
I think so.
He was well versed in the art of war, which was all about combining the real and the fake. If it was real, he would make it fake, and if it was fake, he would make it real. It was indeed not like him to just come to this academy and ask for Zhu Chengxuan back, and the academy would not let him go. He had done his work in secret, forcing them to let him go.
So, he is now sending people to find the forces behind the academy.
Can it succeed?
Nan Yan looked at Zhu Feng nervously, while Jian Ruocheng also stared at him with a deep gaze: "What do you want to do?"
Zhu Feng said calmly, "Have some tea."
After saying that, he reached out and picked up the cup of tea he had brewed for himself, brought it under his nose, sniffed it, and took another sip.
Although it was bitter, he remained calm.
But Jian Ruocheng's expression was faintly filled with uneasiness. He glanced outside, hesitated for a moment, and was about to call for help when he saw Zhu Feng lowering his head, blowing tea leaves while saying softly, "No need to call your people."
“…”
"That Xia Fuxiu should be back soon."
“…”
"Come back with my people."
“……!”
Jian Ruocheng's breath became heavier.
At this moment, there was a chaotic sound of footsteps outside, and someone was shouting loudly: "What do you want to do? Let me go! Let me go!"
“…”
"I'm a minor student in this academy. Why are you arresting me?"
It was Xia Fuxiu's voice!
Jian Ruocheng was startled and quickly stood up. Sure enough, he saw a group of people walking towards him on the road outside. The one who was struggling and shouting among them was Xia Fuxiu, who had gone out early in the morning and had been missing.
He was shouting loudly as he walked in, and the students in the academy heard him and ran out one after another.
Everyone was shocked.
"What's going on?"
"Why was Xia Fuxiu captured by them?"
"Who are they and why did they arrest Xia Fuxiu?"
Although Jian Ruocheng had greeted everyone early in the morning and asked the students to stay in their seats and not move around, but at this time and in this situation, no one could stay there any longer. They all ran out and followed him to the outside of Heguang Room.
Soon, the place was packed with people.
Jian Ruocheng frowned and reached out to hold the edge of the low table. He had originally planned to stand up, but after thinking it over, he sat back down in silence.
Several Jinyiwei escorted Xia Fuxiu to the door of the Heguang Room.
"Owner!"
Zhu Feng looked up at them, but saw that besides Xia Fuxiu, the only person they brought was an old man who was dressed very simply and looked to be at least sixty or seventy years old. He had white hair, a face full of wrinkles, and looked around with a frightened expression.
He couldn't help but frown.
According to his prediction, even if he couldn't destroy the other party's forces, even if he couldn't catch them all, he could at least capture a few useful people.
But in front of me, there are only these two people.
Lian Nanyan was also shocked when she saw this scene.
Zhu Feng asked, "What's going on?"
One of the Jinyiwei stepped forward and whispered something in his ear. Nan Yan, who was sitting nearby, vaguely heard a few words.
Follow... rush in... the place is empty.
Zhu Feng's face gradually darkened.
He turned to look at the Jinyiwei, who lowered his head in fear.
They didn't expect that when the door of the small building was finally opened, they rushed in, only to find that the entire building was empty, with only the old man left. He was so scared that he didn't know the answer to any questions they asked.
They had no choice but to bring both of them back first.
Zhu Feng slowly raised his head and looked at the old man. He was terrified, probably because he had never seen such a struggle before. His legs were almost unstable, and he was completely supported by the people behind him. He said tremblingly, "Gentlemen, what are you going to do? I, I don't know anything."
Zhu Feng said in a deep voice: "What's wrong with him?"
The Jinyiwei whispered, "We interrogated him on the way back. He's just an ordinary local. Someone paid him to stand guard there. When he heard someone knocking on the door, he said the few words he was told to say. He knows nothing else."
“…”
Jian Ruocheng's face darkened as he stood by. "What the hell is going on? What are you doing? Xia Fuxiu, what exactly happened?"
Xia Fuxiu immediately said, "I don't know either. They just rushed over and grabbed me!"
Zhu Feng gave them a cold look and asked, "What are you doing in that building?"
"I--"
Xia Fuxiu rolled his eyes and immediately said, "Why do you care about me? I haven't broken any law! Even if it's the government, as long as I haven't broken the law, you can't control me!"
“…”
His words really left the Jinyiwei speechless.
Although they knew that he went to the small building to find the mastermind behind the scenes, the other party had already run away, leaving behind only an old man who knew nothing. They could not get any results from the interrogation, and naturally they could do nothing about Xia Fuxiu.
Zhu Feng's breath also became heavier.
At this time, he also realized one thing -
The mastermind behind the scenes obviously knew what happened in the academy, and guessed that they would not be able to succeed in attacking the injured student. Xia Fuxiu would definitely ask for help, and he would definitely send someone to follow secretly and find their base.
So, they only used an old man who knew nothing to lure them all over, and they escaped, leaving them empty-handed.
Good trick!
At this time, Zhu Feng's mood became even heavier.
In other words, it raised the alarm.
If he was confident in capturing the other party before, now, one of the other party's tricks made him realize that things would not be so easy.
In Changqing City, when he was completely at a disadvantage, he could predict Zhu Xuan's actions and take every step ahead of him, so that he could control everything. But now, in this Jinling City, he should have been the one with the advantage, but he was controlled at every step!
The other party actually predicted his actions!
This person is not simple!
