Chapter 2004: reborn

Zhu Feng was not paying attention to this, he immediately picked out a word from the old man's words.
"Shou? What are you watching?"
The old man looked up at him.
But did not answer him.
Seeing him like this, Ye Yu frowned slightly, and was about to say something, but Zhu Feng raised his hand to stop him.
He motioned to Ye Wei not to act rashly.
After all, they have just arrived here and have not even exchanged their names. In addition, they have just lied and been found out. It is impossible for this old man to be guarded against them, and it is impossible for him to tell his origins.
He thought for a while and said quietly: "Don't blame the old man, we are not treacherous evildoers, but we are just new to the precious land, and we still have a defensive heart. In fact, we are indeed not merchants, but people from the Shazhouwei Captain's Mansion."
"Shazhouwei? The Captain's Mansion?"
The old man read these words silently, and said in a daze, "What is that?"
Ye Wei was angry that he was ignorant, and said in an annoyed manner: "The Seven Guards of Guanxi, the seven capitals set up by the Yan Kingdom's court in the northwest, Shazhou is the closest one here."
The old man frowned: "The captain's mansion set up by the imperial court, what does the imperial court set up the captain's mansion here?"
"..."
"You must know that this place is raging with dust and rogues. No one has been in charge for hundreds of years."
Ye Xun said, "No one is in charge? Yan Kingdom's court is in charge!"
"Oh?"
"The imperial court set up seven captain manures in the wild northwestern land, not just to reorganize this place, but to retake the Silk Road in the future.
"...!"
Upon hearing this, the old man's eyes suddenly lit up and he looked up at them.
"Re-walking the Silk Road? Really?"
"Is there a fake?"
"that--"
His tone suddenly became tense, and his voice even trembled when he spoke: "Then, what about this Yumen Gate?"
"..."
This time, Ye Yu stopped talking.
After all, this is the first time that Zhu Feng mentioned Yumen Pass and came to Yumen Pass after setting up the Seven Guards in Guanxi. He was not sure what arrangements Zhu Feng would have for this completely deserted Yumen Pass.
He turned his head carefully to look at Zhu Feng.
The old man knew from the first glance that this tall and powerful man was the leader of this group of people, so he also looked at him.
I saw Zhu Feng ponder for a while, and slowly said: "Since the imperial court is going to re-take the Silk Road, Yumen Pass, as such an important pass on the Silk Road, will not be left deserted.
"..."
"Here, the glory of the past needs to be restored."
"...!"
The old man's eyes brightened.
He is almost in his old age, and the skin on his face is full of wrinkles, like old tree bark, and his eyes are chaotic and dim, but after hearing these words from Zhu Feng, the whole person seems to be reborn.
Zhu Feng even has a illusion that this old man seems to have been detained for many years, finally breaking free of restraints.
But the next moment, Zhu Feng continued: "But if you want to restore this place to its former glory, you must know what happened here."
Then he looked at the dilapidated house.
And the young and old in front of him looked weak and harmless, but he was certain that there were some secrets hidden in them.
Maybe it's the secret I want to know.
Zhu Feng stared at them with a pair of tiger eyes, giving people an inescapable sense of suffocation, and asked in a deep voice, "Who are you? What are you guarding here?"
As soon as his voice fell, he suddenly felt something strange behind him.
