Chapter 274 Demon Hunting Team
Lou Qianjiang hurriedly pulled Xu Zhenfeng back.
"Brother Xu, I was wrong in this matter. I sincerely apologize to you. But please listen to me and finish what I have to say. If you still don't want to stay, I will send you off politely."
Xu Zhenfeng didn't really want to leave, so after hearing what he said, he just went along with it and sat back in his chair.
Seeing him sit down, Lou Qianjiang felt a little relieved and started from the beginning.
This incident was caused by the time when several of his brothers bribed the demons to ambush and kill him.
Although these three brothers have always been greedy to replace him as heir.
But he had never committed the act of hiring someone to kill someone. The time when he hired the demons to ambush and kill him was really outrageous.
After he returned from the Demon Mountain, his father also sent people to investigate the matter.
However, when his brothers tried to bribe the demons, they never showed up in person, but asked a groom in the mansion to negotiate with the demons.
After the incident was traced back to the groom, he suddenly died and left a suicide note.
It is said that many years ago, Lou Qianjiang whipped him thirty times because he did not take good care of his beloved horse.
The thirty lashes caused him a lifelong illness, making his life worse than death in recent years, so he tried every means to contact the demon clan and kill Lou Qianjiang for revenge.
As for the rare treasures he used to bribe the demons, they were all stolen from the general's mansion.
The matter has reached a dead end here, and it can be said to have come to an end.
Lou Qianjiang knew that this was a tactic of his good brothers to sacrifice pawns to protect the king.
General Lou Wan'an might not be unaware of the open and secret struggles among his sons, but he still condones them.
It is like raising a Gu, regardless of age or illegitimate children, the winner gets the fruits of victory.
In a big family, this kind of thing is of course normal. How can someone who can't even compete with his brothers be qualified to inherit the family business?
If the family business is given to a mediocre person, it is equivalent to ruining it.
Lou Qianjiang is an ambitious human. He is unwilling to collude with the demons and lead them to deal with his brothers, as that would give the demons an advantage over him.
The relationship between humans and demons has been torn apart, and an all-out battle is not far away.
Lou Qianjiang was even more unwilling to be exposed by the demons for colluding with them to kill his brothers when the two armies faced off in the future.
As for using human monks to assassinate his brothers, he was not willing to do so for the time being.
He just wanted his brothers to fall into his own trap.
Things must be done beautifully and without any flaws or consequences.
But such opportunities are not easy to find.
Xu Zhenfeng's visit to Shahai City this time gave him a glimmer of hope.
He deliberately let his younger brothers know that he was receiving a distinguished guest from the Demon Mountain, who might be able to help the General's Mansion in dealing with the demons in the future.
He also deliberately told his younger brothers that Xu Zhenfeng was the monster who saved his life in the desert oasis at that time.
He just wanted his younger brothers to hate Xu Zhenfeng and even do something detrimental to Xu Zhenfeng.
As long as his younger brothers start to act, he will find an opportunity to make them suffer the consequences.
He was both the eldest and the legitimate son of the family, so he wanted everything he did to stand up to scrutiny.
After listening to what he said without any reservation, Xu Zhenfeng couldn't help but look at him several times.
This is also a perfectionist.
I want this and more. . . . .
"So, Brother Lou wants to use me as bait?"
Lou Qianjiang had already said what he wanted to say, and now he said with a straight face and a straight face, "Brother Xu, please give me a hand."
Xu Zhenfeng laughed twice, "I can lend a helping hand, but if you want me to risk my life to help you, don't you think it's a bit too much, Brother Lou?"
Lou Qianjiang hurriedly said: "Brother Xu, don't worry, I will arrange for earth-level cultivators to guard you, and will never put your life in danger."
"Earth-level cultivator?"
Xu Zhenfeng casually released the evil spirit from his body.
A terrifying sense of urgency suddenly spread throughout the banquet hall.
"Brother Xu...you...you are already at the Earth level?"
Lou Qianjiang's face was filled with shock.
This monster was clearly at the fifth or sixth level of the Profound Realm when we last met. How long has it been since then?
Was it only three months? How did he suddenly reach the ground level?
This shocking feeling only stayed in Lou Qianjiang's heart for a moment, and then a feeling of ecstasy emerged.
Xu Zhenfeng was so talented that as long as they joined forces, he would be a great help to him and the General's Mansion in the future, whether they were dealing with his delusional brothers or the demons.
Such a genius from Demon Mountain must be highly valued by everyone in Demon Mountain.
When a full-scale war breaks out with the demons in the future, having Xu Zhenfeng endorse him on behalf of Yaoshan will also increase his voice in Qinyue Kingdom after he inherits the position of general.
Although he had already discovered that Xu Zhenfeng had an extraordinary status in the wolf clan last time at the Sand Sea Oasis.
But he didn't realize at that time that Xu Zhenfeng's talent was so powerful and extraordinary.
Now I have re-evaluated Xu Zhenfeng's strength, hidden strength, and possible future strength.
Lou Qianjiang suddenly felt as if he had found a treasure.
"Brother Xu, don't worry. I will accompany you for twelve hours during your stay in Shahai City. If you are in danger, I will protect you first."
Xu Zhenfeng sneered, speaking as if he was very loyal. If he didn't want to use him as bait, how could he be in danger?
Huang Jing secretly drank a few glasses of wine. After hearing what Lou Qianjiang said, her face flushed and she immediately said, "You are such a shameless person. You let our Huang Jing's father do things for you, and you just say that without any reason?"
Lou Qianjiang reacted and hurriedly said with a smile: "You should speak slowly. If Brother Xu needs anything, just ask. As long as I can do it, I will do my best."
Xu Zhenfeng thought for a moment, "Does Brother Lou have any magic crystals?"
After Lou Qianjiang heard this, he hesitated for a moment before asking, "How much does Brother Xu need?"
"As much as you want."
Xu Zhenfeng looked at Lou Qianjiang straightly.
Lou Qianjiang also looked at Xu Zhenfeng in surprise, "Brother Xu, do you want the magic crystal to make a magic weapon?"
"I have my own use, so I can't tell you. I need a lot of magic crystals, the more the better."
Lou Qianjiang pondered and said, "I only have less than 200 medium-grade magic crystals. If Brother Xu needs a large amount of magic crystals, I have a long-term solution. I wonder if Brother Xu is interested?"
Xu Zhenfeng's heart moved when he heard this. He was very interested in the method of obtaining magic crystals in a long term.
Lou Qianjiang saw his expression and knew that he was moved, so he continued, "Join our Qinyue country's demon hunting team."
Xu Zhenfeng understood as soon as he heard it. It was the same nature as the monster-hunting team of the Dai Yue Kingdom over at Jianfeng Ridge.
The human race is really a mess, hunting demons and catching monsters, as if this world belongs to them alone, and they do whatever they see.
Xu Zhenfeng didn't know when he had completely identified with his identity as a demon, and seemed to have forgotten that he was a human soul.
"I am a demon. Joining your human demon hunting team? Are you sure they won't hunt me first?"
Lou Qianjiang laughed, "Brother Xu, you have never been to the territory of Qinyue Country before, so you don't know that your demon tribe often joins our demon hunting team."
After he finished speaking, he lowered his voice and continued, "From time to time, the big monsters of your monster race will sneak out of the Monster Mountain to inquire about the movements of the monster race from us.
If they have enough time, they will occasionally join the demon hunting team.
After all, the demon hunting team has its own people who specialize in investigating the movements of demons.
As long as you are lucky enough to find a demon's underground base in the human territory, you can often hunt down hundreds of demons at a time."
Xu Zhenfeng nodded silently. It was a smart move for Qin Yueguo to unite the demons and defeat the monsters.
The behavior of the Dai Viet Kingdom that was fixated on the demon tribe was too old-fashioned and inflexible.
It's no exaggeration to say it's stupid.
