"Mu Feng, are you doubting my identity? Why am I being assassinated as soon as I arrive in Jiangling City with two jobs?"

The scholar-bureaucrat He Xuangao smiled, and picked up the teapot to pour tea for Mu Feng. .|

Mu Feng remained calm on the surface, but no matter how well he concealed the doubts in his heart, there was always a clue.Needless to say, a look, a slight movement of drinking water and other subtle movements are enough to reflect the fluctuations in his heart.You can hide it from ordinary people, but how can you hide it from a scholar-bureaucrat who has gone through vicissitudes?

"My lord is really sharp-eyed. The student offended me! Three cups of self-punishment, such a good Longjing, usually you can't buy it even if you have money!"

Mu Feng smiled frankly, picked up the teapot, and drank three cups in a row.

The scholar-bureaucrat He Xuangao lived in a relatively simple place, in addition to the rows of books in the study, there was only a simple desk.But this pot of tea is different. After taking a sip, the tongue will become saliva, and the fragrance will stay on the teeth. It is obviously the best in Longjing.

"It's delicious, so drink a few more cups. You can't buy this kind of Longjing tea in ordinary places. It's the tribute tea I brought from the capital."

The scholar-bureaucrat He Xuangao smiled, looked at the calm, low-key, smart and witty Mu Feng, the more he watched, the more he liked him, and he nodded appreciatively.After pondering for a moment, he continued, "Mu Feng, according to the rules of our scholars, you can be regarded as my disciple. There are some things, and it's time for you to know a thing or two."

"My lord, please speak, and the students are all ears!" Mu Feng pushed the boat smoothly, knowing that the key point was coming.

"To be honest, Mu Feng, in fact, I came to Southern Xinjiang this time not to serve as a county guard or counselor, nor to go to the Xiangshan Academy to support my life, but as a secret envoy, who was ordered to secretly investigate the rebellion in Southern Xinjiang and spy on it. The news of the remnants of the previous dynasty." The scholar-bureaucrat He Xuangao's face was serious, after a pause, he continued slowly: "Because of this, as soon as we arrived in Jiangling City, we suffered several waves of assassinations. .|Hehe, some people have already After hearing the news, if you don’t get rid of me for a day, you won’t be able to sleep peacefully!”

Emissary?

Mu Feng was taken aback and suddenly realized.

At this moment, I finally understood why this scholar-bureaucrat, who seemed to be indifferent to the world, was so cautious!

Although there were many doubts in his heart, if the scholar-bureaucrat He Xuangao hadn't said it himself, he would never have thought of his true identity.It seems that what is said in the book is correct, it really is that sea water cannot be measured, and people cannot be judged by their appearance!

"Over the years, Jiangling Mansion has been peaceful and peaceful, and the country is prosperous and the people are peaceful. The students seem to have never heard of any rebellion since they were young. My lord, did you gain anything from going south this time?"

Mu Feng took advantage of the situation to inquire, looked at the old and thin He Xuangao, and continued: "Although the student's strength is humble, he is still a mere mortal, but he is no longer a weak and frail scholar. The adult is so dangerous, otherwise, the student's Why don't you just follow the adults around when you have time?"

"No need, I already have expert protection by my side. Mu Feng, you are young and talented, and now you still have to focus on your studies. When the day when you make a big fortune, just don't forget me!"

The scholar-bureaucrat He Xuangao waved his hand, rejecting Mu Feng's kindness.After pondering for a while, he continued: "Over the years, our Tongtian Empire has expanded rapidly, established an unprecedented territory, and become the overlord of Zhongzhou. In the eyes of ordinary people, the weather is smooth, the country is prosperous and the people are safe, and the national power is getting stronger day by day. But secretly, there are undercurrents surging , the contradictions in all aspects of the empire are becoming more and more intense, and there are signs and signs of rebellion in many places. It is precisely because of this that Emperor Tongtian ordered reforms and sent down talents without sticking to one pattern.

Although Jiangling Mansion looks peaceful, it is full of contradictions.Not long ago, it was said that someone pretended to be Tongtianwei, hunted and killed heroes from all over the place, set fire to the city, and set off waves of bloody storms.Mu Feng, remember, only talk for a few minutes when meeting people outside.When you meet someone from the General's Mansion, you have to be more careful, keep your mouth shut, and be careful that misfortune comes out of your mouth! "

As a secret room with important responsibilities, the scholar-bureaucrat He Xuangao is a seasoned man, and he didn't answer Mu Feng's question directly, but only gently reminded him in a low voice.

General's Mansion?

The Jiangling general who commanded millions of soldiers and dominated one side?

Mu Feng's heart was awe-inspiring, and he quickly understood the meaning of the scholar-official He Xuangao's words, "Student understands, thank you for your guidance!"

As a secret envoy, the scholar-bureaucrat He Xuangao was well informed, so his remarks would definitely not be aimless.

One of the Jiedu envoys, if they really rebelled, it would definitely be a bloodbath, Mu Feng was secretly shocked.Hearing that someone pretended to be Tongtianwei to murder and set fire, he couldn't help but think of the fires in Jianshui City and Puyang Temple, and he didn't know what happened.I wanted to continue asking, but seeing that the scholar-bureaucrat He Xuangao seemed unwilling to reveal too many secrets, I had no choice but to give up.

"Okay, okay, just understand!"

Looking at Mu Feng, who was easy to understand, the scholar-bureaucrat He Xuangao nodded appreciatively, and then said: "By the way, Mu Feng, you came to visit overnight, did you encounter any difficulties?"

"Exactly, the students have something to ask for."

Mu Feng nodded frankly, and cut straight to the point, "My lord, one of my elders has ventured into the Heavenly Demon Battlefield, and his life may be in danger at any time. I heard that there is an ancient teleportation array in the academy that can lead to the Heavenly Demon Battlefield. I wonder if you can do it?" Help intercede, let the academy make an exception to allow students to go in and practice. On the one hand, under strong pressure, break through the bottleneck and break through to the elite level; on the other hand, it is also possible to find the whereabouts of the elder and help him out of trouble."

While talking, Mu Feng looked into the eyes of scholar-bureaucrat He Xuangao, his tone was sincere, and he felt a little uneasy.

I just joined the school, and I am not familiar with the place, so I went directly to the senior manager of the thousand-year-old demon, and the possibility of being rejected was almost [-]%.Whether he can quickly go to the Heavenly Demon Battlefield from the ancient teleportation array in the academy palace, the only hope rests on this scholar-bureaucrat in front of him.

"Heavenly Demon Battlefield?"

The scholar-bureaucrat He Xuangao's eyes were piercing, he did not agree to Mu Feng's request, nor did he reject it outright.After a pause, he continued slowly: "I don't really have any friendship with the chief steward of the academy. If it was before, it would be difficult for her to make an exception to grant your request. I'm afraid even if I put my old face on it and begged her, it would be difficult." It's hard. But..., now..."

"My lord, what's the difference now?" Mu Feng asked, seeing a glimmer of hope.

"Hey, it's not as simple as being different now, but there have been earth-shaking changes."

The scholar-bureaucrat He Xuangao paused, with a serious face, "According to reliable information, not long ago, whether it was due to the turmoil in the demon world or the loosening of the seal, a violent space-time storm suddenly broke out on the battlefield of the demons, and countless demons gushed out. Now, the major forces We have quickly mobilized elites to enter the Heavenly Demon Battlefield to guard the camp urgently, and our Xiangshan Academy is no exception. Within three days, no more than three days, the Academy will definitely order the mobilization of elites to enter the Heavenly Demon Battlefield. Even the students who have just broken through to two swords will be recruited this time!"

"what?"

Mu Feng was shocked again, and the uneasiness in his heart became more and more intense.

Although he could enter the Heavenly Demon Battlefield without begging the unkind old woman of the thousand-year-old demon, he couldn't feel happy at all.A violent space-time storm suddenly broke out on the Tianmo battlefield, which means that the flying bats are even more dangerous!Even if they go in and find their whereabouts, whether they can come out together alive, I'm afraid it's still unknown!
