297 Robbery and Counter-robbery
Chapter 297
When Feng Ming and his four companions arrived at the foot of the mountain, they saw Zhuo Xiuyang and Zhao Rongkun waiting there. The former was full of excitement, while the latter seemed to be annoyed.
But Feng Ming had sharp eyes and could tell at a glance that the two were pretending.
Zhuo Xiuyang was very proud of his victory, so he was unwilling to stay in the other courtyard to wait for the result. Instead, he ran to the foot of the mountain to wait, so that he could know the result and who won and who lost at the first time.
Now that two hours had passed, Feng Ming and his four companions came out, which meant that he won the bet this time.
Zhuo Xiuyang became more and more proud as he thought about it, and laughed loudly. When the time came, he would go to the second-level pool and cheat Zhao out of a large amount of Yuanjing, which would make him heartbroken.
When Feng Ming and his four companions got closer, Zhuo Xiuyang couldn't wait to tell them about the bet between him and Zhao Rongkun.
Feng Ming and his four companions immediately understood why the two had such expressions. It turned out that one of them thought he had won, and the other was pretending to be upset because he lost, but in fact he was secretly happy.
Feng Ming secretly thought that Zhao Rongkun was indeed a big-tailed wolf, but fortunately he didn't have any bad intentions towards Zhuo Xiuyang.
Even if he was pursuing her, he didn't use tough means to pursue her, but was a little roundabout.
Now he is trying to send Yuan Jing to Zhuo Xiuyanghua to help him advance and improve his strength. He is really painstaking.
Therefore, when Feng Ming came over, he patted Zhao Rongkun on the shoulder and gave him an expression of understanding.
Being seen through again, Zhao Rongkun felt a little uncomfortable, but he quickly let it go.
"Let's go, let's go, I'm happy today, I'll treat you two to a big meal."
Zhuo Xiuyang was surprised: "You just spent so many Yuan crystals, why don't I treat you."
Feng Ming waved his hand: "There are still Yuan crystals for dinner, let's go."
Zhuo Xiuyang didn't persuade him anymore, and happily followed Feng Ming and the other four to get on the carriage. The six of them squeezed into another carriage and went to the restaurant in the city.
There was laughter in the carriage, and everyone was in a good mood, including Zhao Rongkun, who was very annoying in Zhuo Xiuyang's eyes.
When they arrived at the restaurant, they immediately became the focus of everyone's attention in the restaurant. The four "80 million" were here.
That's 80 million. They were so jealous. They didn't expect that Master Zhuo was so smart and had established a relationship with them first.
80 million can build a strong force in Quanchuan City. Some family forces may not have so much even if all their assets are added together.
Zhuo's father, who always pays attention to his son's situation, was also shocked to hear the news.
The total assets of the Zhuo family may not be less than 80 million, but the liquid funds that can be mobilized are limited. Most of the assets are immovable properties and cannot be easily converted into cash.
After eating most of the food and wine, Zhao Rongkun asked, "When will the four of you leave Quanchuan City?"
Zhuo Xiuyang was disappointed: "Are you leaving so soon? There are still many hot springs that you haven't visited yet."
Zhao Rongkun thought to himself that other hot springs were of no value to the four seniors, and it was impossible to waste time here.
Feng Ming said, "Yes, that's right. The next step is to go to Rongcheng that Mr. Zhao mentioned and take a look. Maybe stay for a while."
Zhuo Xiuyang was very simple: "What's fun in Rongcheng? It's so hot. You might get roasted if you stay there for a while. It's not as comfortable as our Quanchuan City."
Feng Ming laughed, "Of course it's for cultivation. Is there anything more important than cultivation and improving strength?"
Zhao Rongkun smiled and said, "Rongcheng is indeed a place It's a good place. Those who prefer it are those who practice fire-attributed exercises, people who like to exercise, and many weapon refiners stay there for a long time. Rongcheng is not far from Quanchuan City. Not long after Rongcheng is Quyang City where my Zhao family is located. Are the four seniors interested in visiting Quyang City?"
Feng Ming looked at Ji Yuan and Qiu Yi. The two had no objection, so Feng Ming said, "Then when we finish the work in Rongcheng, we will go to Quyang City if we have time."
"Okay, I'll be waiting for the four masters in Quyang City then."
"I want to go, too. I want to go, too." Zhuo Xiuyang said excitedly.
The smile in Zhao Rongkun's eyes became more sincere: "Of course I welcome you. Don't worry, I will find a way to collect Yuanjing when I go back, and I will not forget the bet between me and Master Zhuo."
Oh, what a big-tailed wolf, he tricked everyone back.
That night, Fengming and his friends spent the night in Zhuo Xiuyang's other courtyard.
After getting up the next day, they said goodbye to Zhuo Xiuyang and Zhao Rongkun and headed to Rongcheng.
Zhao Rongkun reminded the four: "Perhaps the four seniors don't care, but there should be quite a few cultivators in Quanchuan City who are eyeing you four seniors. Among them, some may take action when you are away."
Feng Ming raised his eyebrows: "Want to attack us? Welcome, it happens that Yuanjing has been spent a lot recently, and I need to replenish it. By the way, Brother Zhao's family is paying attention to the missing cultivators. If there is any situation, please contact us."
"Okay, I will. By the way, Jin Shuo, the young master of the Jin family, a family of refining tools in Rongcheng, is my friend. If you have any problems, you can tell me my name and go to find him."
With these words, Zhao Rongkun confirmed his previous guess. Now he is 70% sure that these four are the four cultivators who stabbed Tiandu of Yinfeng Island.
It must be said that these four were extremely carefree. In everyone's imagination, the four cultivators would be exhausted from running away when facing the huge Shengyuan Sect, and the deeper they hid, the better.
But these four went to Quanchuan City and spent a lot of spirit stones, picked the most expensive hot springs, and were envied by all the cultivators in the city.
But who else would connect them with the four cultivators of Yinfeng Island except him?
Perhaps the more high-profile you do things, the less suspicious you will be.
Feng Ming exchanged contact information with Zhao Rongkun, which would also make it convenient for them to go to Quyang City and meet with Zhao Rongkun. There is a ready-made guide, so why not use it.
After waving to the two, Feng Ming and the other four left the city in a carefree manner.
They had only been together for a few days, and most of the time Feng Ming and the other three were soaking in the hot springs, but Zhuo Xiuyang felt reluctant to leave when he saw the direction where they disappeared.
Zhao Rongkun asked, "Since you are reluctant to leave, why don't you go to Rongcheng?"
Zhuo Xiuyang retracted his gaze and walked back: "I can't stand Rongcheng, and they are going there to do business, so I won't bother them. Didn't you say you would invite me to Quyang City? You will be responsible for food and drink?"
"Okay, I'll be responsible. Why don't we leave now so that we can arrive in Quyang City earlier and wait for the four seniors."
Zhuo Xiuyang thought about it and it would be a good idea. The sooner he went, the more he could take advantage of the big-tailed wolf named Zhao.
He wanted to eat and drink all the Yuanjing on Zhao Rongkun, and of course leave the Yuanjing for the hot spring, and then make him a penniless man.
Thinking of this, Zhuo Xiuyang happily set out with Zhao Rongkun, and both the Zhuo and Zhao families were followed by guards.
Zhuo's father was very confident in the Zhao family, and he could also use this opportunity to establish a relationship with the Zhao family. Apart from sending guards to protect them, he did nothing else.
Not long after Zhuo Xiuyang and Zhao Rongkun left, Lumi finally couldn't help but come to the villa. If
he waited any longer, he was afraid that he would lose everything.
Because of Feng Ming's words, Lumi now thought carefully and thought that Zhao Rongkun was not coming for him, but for Zhuo Xiuyang.
After thinking it through, Lumi almost bit his teeth to pieces.
He didn't hate Zhao Rongkun, but Zhuo Xiuyang. A grown man actually competed with him, a twin, for a man. How shameless.
But without the chance to climb up to the Zhao family, he could only hold on to Zhuo Xiuyang tightly and try to instigate it. It would be best if Zhuo Xiuyang also got angry with Zhao Rongkun and broke up with him completely, making it impossible to maintain the relationship. If
he couldn't get it, how could Zhuo Xiuyang, a grown man, get it? Then continue to spend Zhuo Xiuyang's Yuanjing.
Lumi was so righteous and confident. He didn't think there was anything wrong with his behavior. On the contrary, it was a manifestation of his striving for progress.
But unexpectedly, when he came to look for him, Zhuo Xiuyang was gone. The gatekeeper said, "Mr. Zhuo has gone on a long trip. Come back later to see if he has come back."
Lumi couldn't believe his ears. Zhuo Xiuyang ran away without even saying a word to him? How is this possible?
He thought Zhuo Xiuyang was just a dog by his side, and he could call him whatever he wanted. Even if he went on a long trip, he would tell him first.
"Impossible! Where did he go?"
Zhuo Xiuyang used to value Lumi, and the Zhuo family would look up to him. But since the rumors spread, the Zhuo family looked at Lumi again and felt that the two children were clearly treating their young master as a stepping stone, and there was a suspicion that they would be used and thrown away.
Now the Zhuo family wanted Zhuo Xiuyang to completely forget about Lu Mi, so they didn't even reveal where they were going: "How could the young master tell us servants about his affairs? Young Master Lu should go back."
Lu Mi could only turn around and leave.
He didn't know that the distance between him and Zhuo Xiuyang would become farther and farther, and there would be no possibility of returning to the past.
***
As soon as they left Quanchuan City, Feng Ming and his four companions found that there were two groups of people behind them, heading in the same direction as them. It was hard to believe that they had coincidentally traveled the same way.
Qiu Yi asked curiously, "Is there really someone trying to rob us?"
Ji Yuan patted his head, "Junior Brother Qiu wants to be robbed?"
Feng Ming laughed, "Qiu Yi wants to try the feeling of counter-robbery."
Ji Yuan was upset. Junior Brother Qiu was really corrupted by Feng Ming. How could Junior Brother Qiu want to do such a thing in the past?
Feng Ming sighed again, "But this time we spent a lot of Yuanjing. We have to find a way to make up for it."
Qiu Yi suggested, "Aren't we going to Rongcheng? The demand for elixirs there must be high. We can sell elixirs."
His expenses were the same as Ji Yuan's. After deducting more than 40 million Yuanjing, there was not much left.
In fact, they have a lot of good things, but some things can't be sold easily, such as the Ten Thousand Year Spiritual Milk and the Yuanling Fruit, which will make people come to rob them.
Ji Yuan also said: "The weapon refiner there may need the cooperation of the formation master, and I also need to find a way to earn some Yuanjing."
He also needs to raise a large group of scorpions, and can't rely on the efforts of Junior Brother Qiu alone, otherwise he will become nothing.
Feng Ming touched his chin: "So I chose the right place to go to Rongcheng."
Qiu Yi asked curiously: "You haven't said what you are going to do in Rongcheng."
Feng Ming laughed, and Bai Qiaomo smiled without saying anything.
Just when Ji Yuan and Qiu Yi thought he would not tell them, Feng Ming teased them again: "You will know when we get to Rongcheng, let's keep it a secret for now."
Feng Ming went to Rongcheng to use the star flint he got from the Tianluo Secret Realm, extract the fire inside and use it for himself.
He had always coveted this stone, but Bai Qiaomo reminded him that it was best to use it after the Yuandan, so he was a little impatient.
The reason why he didn't extract it immediately in Quanchuan City was that he was worried that the noise of taming the fire would be too loud, leading to the leakage of his aura.
This is different from spending 80 million and being targeted by others. Once the fire is leaked, it may attract the top masters of the Yuandan realm, and even the strong men of the Kaihun realm will be tempted.
It happened that when they were chatting, Zhao Rongkun mentioned Rongcheng, which was not far from Quanchuan City.
This is also a very unique city. The underground fire veins of Rongcheng are very close to the surface of the earth, and the coverage area is large and high-grade, resulting in a very rich fire energy in Rongcheng.
The temperature there is very high all year round, and cultivators with low cultivation cannot stay there.
But Rongcheng is still very lively, not only attracting weapon refiners within the territory of this dynasty, but also weapon refiners from other regions.
Feng Ming thought this place was good when he heard it. When taming the fire there, even if the fire breath leaked out, it would be mixed with the rich fire energy of the local area, making it difficult to distinguish.
Although Feng Ming wanted to get to Rongcheng as soon as possible, in order to satisfy Qiu Yi's idea, they still walked on the ground, riding four wildebeests to hurry.
The other two teams that left the city behind them actually followed them all the time, not knowing that their every move was in the eyes of Feng Ming and his four companions.
In the two teams, there was a Yuandan realm master, and both were Yuandan realm masters, and the rest were Yuanye realm masters, and there were also Juqi realm cultivators.
Qiu Yi was confused: "What's wrong with these cultivators? They dared to come out and rob us when they were in the Juqi realm?"
Ji Yuan laughed and said, "They probably thought that Feng Ming was the only one in the Yuandan realm among the four of us, and he had just advanced to the Yuandan realm."
It was easy to find out what happened to the four of them after they entered the city. It was found that Feng Ming had broken through to the Yuandan realm while renting a cave for cultivation, but there was no obvious movement in the caves of the other three.
As for why the four of them all used the first-level Yiyuan hot spring, some people naturally thought that the four of them had too many Yuanjing, so they had to soak in the best hot springs.
Feng Ming was riding on a wildebeest, holding a piece of grass in his mouth, looking very frivolous. He suddenly said, "There is another group coming from the front. The strength of this group is higher. Although there is only one person in the Yuandan realm, the rest are all in the Yuanye realm. The aura on them also feels stronger than the two groups behind. They don't seem like ordinary cultivators."
Bai Qiaomo nodded and said, "The people coming in front are more professional."
Feng Ming was almost amused by the word "professional", Ji Yuan and Qiu Yi laughed. Bai Qiaomo was obviously very serious, but he could joke.
Isn't it just that he is a professional robber? Isn't he more professional than the two groups of people on both sides?
Feng Ming asked excitedly: "Do you think the group of people in front are in contact with the two groups behind?"
Ji Yuan said: "You said that the group of people in front are in contact with the group of people behind, and they want to attack from the front? If this is true, we have to say that they are more thoughtful. If they were ordinary cultivators, they might really succeed in the robbery."
Qiu Yi said: "It's a pity that they made a wrong calculation. They ran into us."
Not to mention all four of them, Bai Qiaomo alone can wipe out all the people in the three groups. So they are really brave to dare to rob them.
Qiu Yi rubbed his hands, waiting for the three groups to rush over so that he could satisfy his desire to counter-rob.
