Chapter 112: Surprise
In the dock, with the departure of the six knights, the crowded and noisy fish market gradually restored order.
People who had fled in panic returned to the middle of the road one after another. The stalls that were knocked down or knocked away were also set back up by those people.
As for the goods scattered on the ground, except for the ones that were trampled, the rest were basically picked up by the people and put back in the stalls one after another, while the stall owners were asked to clean up the mud and water on them.
Fortunately, this place is a dock after all. There are many fish vendors' stalls. Most of the goods are raw fish. Even if people trample on them, they will not be affected. After being cleaned with water, they can still be sold.
Among the crowd, Huo Feng frowned.
Because the second young master of the Wu clan was mentioned in the conversation among the traders walking around.
According to the information revealed by the conversation among the people, although the Wu clan was well-known in Fushan City, there were also some bad rumors about them.
Especially the second young master of the Wu clan…
Hui Feng frowned and said nothing.
Gu Yan, squatting on his shoulder, didn't know what had happened. Seeing that Huo Feng had been in a trance, he cried twice and pecked Huo Feng's face with his sharp beak.
Although he didn't hurt him, he woke Hui Feng up.
"Oh? Oh… Gu Yan," after waking up, Huo Feng looked at the little Gu eagle with a puffy shoulder and said with a smile, "Sorry, I got distracted. Let's go now."
He tightened the basket on his back and walked toward the city, saying, "We'll go home and prepare dinner for you."
The little Gu eagle grunted contentedly and stopped making trouble.
After leaving the dock, he returned to the city.
Through the heavy gate, he came to the streets of the city.
The streets in the city are not as crowded as the docks, but the city gate is bustling here, and there are many vendors on both sides of the road.
When Huo Feng entered the city, although the scene he saw was not as chaotic as that in the fish market at the wharf, it was obvious that there was a riot not long ago.
After the six horses came into the city, they didn't slow down. Instead, they continued to gallop and crash in the street.
Such an act is really…
Huo Feng shook his head and his expression became worse.
He walked through the crowd, listening to the low curses of the traders and the voices of the discussion, and he could not help feeling worried.
The Wolf God ordered Xiao Ai to attend the funeral of the Wu caln's old master. However, because of Xiao Ai's temperament, she wouldn't ignore them, especially the second young master of the Wu clan…
However, the Wu clan is the Wolf God's friend's clan…
If Miss Xiao Ai beat them…
Huo Feng hesitated for several seconds, but finally didn't go directly to the Fire God Temple. Instead, he silently changed his direction and went to the house of the Wu clan.
On his shoulder, the little Gu eagle looked left and right curiously, busy observing the scenery in the city, but he didn't find that Huo Feng quietly changed his route.
At the same time, the mournful music was still playing in the Wu clan's mansion.
In the properly arranged mourning hall, guests come and go endlessly, and most of them are rich and noble people in Fushan City.
Wu Zhiqian, the eldest son of the Wu clan, 36 years old this year, was now the host of the funeral. Compared with his young and frivolous second brother, he was much more mature and prudent.
Before the old man died, he was already in charge of many things of the Wu clan and was in charge of many stores.
Among the young generation in Fushan City, Wu Zhiqian also has his own contacts. He's not much of a brilliant genius, but he is very stable.
When the old clans in the city talk about it, they all have a good impression of the young man.
Today, Wu Zhiqian, dressed in white cloth, was standing in front of the gate of the Wu clan's mansion, smiling to welcome every family member and friend who came in.
Among them, there were relatives and friends of the Wu clan, some old friends of the old master, and spies from other clans in the city…
Although the Wu clan is not the top in Fushan City, the death of the old master didn't influence other clan leaders of other old clans.
However, in the same city, some courtesy greetings still need to be done.
Anyway, it was just to let a servant send a bundle of firewood here. It doesn't need to bother those clan leaders to come in person.
But even so, Wu Zhiqian dared not neglect.
Although those sent by the old clans were not clan leaders, they also had a certain identity. He smiled at everyone and didn't dare to neglect them.
At this time, a small figure came from the front of the street and appeared in Wu Zhiqian's vision, which made him slightly surprised.
The location of the Wu clan's mansion is one of the fancy quarters of the city.
This fancy quarter is full of rich and powerful families, and the streets are surrounded by tall walls. Compared to other places in the city, this place is quiet and remote.
In addition to the servants in different residence uniforms, the only people who appeared on the street were the Wu clan's acquaintances who came to the funeral with firewood.
However, the little girl who appeared, with long silver hair and sharp animal ears, was so strange.
The dark blue ancient sword on her back, although looking ordinary, since it was carried by such a strange little girl, it must be special too.
Wu Zhiqian couldn't help but open his eyes and think about it in his heart. However, he couldn't remember when the Wu clan knew such a demon cultivator.
Without waiting for Wu Zhiqian to think about it, the little girl with silver hair and animal ears came to the front door of the Wu's clan.
The firewood in her arms shows her intention.
Wu Zhiqian hurriedly went out and said with his hands arched, "I'm Wu Zhiqian, the eldest son of the Wu clan. Little fairy, where are you from? Are you coming here to attend my father's funeral ceremony?"
"Well," the little girl with silver hair and animal ears nodded, handed the firewood in her arms to the servant on the side, and said, "My name is Lu Ai. At the order of my master, I came to attend the old master's funeral ceremony."
Wu Zhiqian quickly asked, "Little fairy, may you tell me your master's name? I'd better write it down, and I'll come to the door to thank your master later."
The little girl shook her head and said, "I can't tell you my master's name for the time being. If there is an opportunity in the future, my master may visit in person. At that time, Uncle Wu, you can directly ask my master. There is no need to ask me."
The little girl refused lightly, and Wu Zhiqian dared not ask any questions. He said with a smile, "I understand. I won't ask any more questions. Please come in and take a rest. Sorry, I'm too busy now so I can't accompany you… Uncle Song, please invite the little fairy to take a rest."
Wu Zhiqian beckoned to his entourage. Xiao Ai nodded and was about to follow the old man who was called Uncle Song into the door, but at this moment, there was a sharp sound of horses' hoofs on the road behind her.
Then came the neighing of the horses.
And the laughter of the second young master of the Wu clan.
"Elder brother, I wonder if you are happy to see your little brother coming home! Ha ha…"
In the complacent laughter, the sound of horses' hooves came quickly, and all the people in front of the Wu clan's mansion looked in that direction.
A total of six riders came with smoke and dust, and the second young master of the Wu clan was sitting high on one horse's back with a bright smile.
All the pedestrians along the way fled in fear and retreated to both sides.
That menacing appearance immediately made Wu Zhiqian's face gloomy.
At the same time, Xiao Ai, who had just entered the door, turned back slightly and gave a cold glance.
