In her previous life, Shen Lianxi (沈斓曦) suffered a cruel fate. On her wedding night, her groom, Zhou Ruyu (周如渊), didn’t even enter their chamber. The next day, she discovered her nata...
Chapter 53 Confiscating Weapons!
On another mountain, all the caves, big and small, were brightly lit, and the people inside were still working tirelessly, forging and smelting, at this hour!
As Shen Lanxi watched the cruel officials relentlessly whipping the officials, her hand holding the knife began to itch again!
"The fire on the mountaintop is too big; they've ordered us to go put it out!"
"Quickly, everyone get to the mountaintop to put out the fire!"
The man who was driving them away fell backward as soon as his whip was halfway through the air.
"The guards down the mountain have all gone to the top to put out the fire! Kill them and run!"
Shen Lanxi shouted and personally demonstrated to them how to kill and escape!
Two slashes reaped the lives of two beasts!
"Run, brothers! If we don't run now, we'll never have another chance!" a blacksmith shouted, and more than half of the men responded.
They took fire tongs, hammers, and spoons and fought back fiercely!
The blacksmiths, strong and robust, could swing their scorching hot iron tongs and before they could even strike, the cruel officials would already be running away in terror!
Rebellion is that easy!
Those cruel officials with fierce faces who were whipping them weren't so scary. On the contrary, they were all terrified of them, just like rats!
In an instant, all the blacksmiths rallied together, grabbed their weapons, formed a circle, and after killing the cruel official, they all rushed down the mountain!
Shen Lanxi glanced at their departing figures, then turned and went into the warehouse!
The contents of the warehouse shocked her; it was filled with weapons!
The imperial court stipulated that all ironware, whether made by government offices or blacksmith shops, must bear a mark!
She opened ten boxes and checked all the weapons inside, but found none with any markings!
The warehouse was packed full of at least five or six hundred large boxes, all tied so tightly with straw ropes. Where were they being transported to?
She had a premonition that these weapons might be related to the theft of the Wei family army's supplies!
Unfortunately, with the road ahead unclear and pursuers behind, there was simply no time to investigate!
Today's fire has definitely alerted the enemy. Even if she comes back in the future, all traces of this place will be wiped clean!
He emptied the warehouse and then put all the iron ore, semi-finished weapons, and forging tools from the workshop into his spatial storage!
As she left, she threw a fire inside. Since it would be swept away anyway, she might as well let her do it for those people!
From the front to the back of the mountain, all the prisoners surged down the mountain like a tidal wave. The journey was surprisingly smooth; they barely killed anyone and reached the bottom!
Looking at the people lying on the ground, Liu Yanhui said, "These people must have been dealt with by the young master beforehand!"
Liu Laohu: "Where is the young master? Has he returned yet?"
Liu Yan replied, "Young Master told us to wait at the city gate, so we'll do as he says!"
Liu Laohu had originally intended to wait a while, but upon hearing what he said, he immediately nodded.
"All constables, take inventory of the prisoners."
"All prisoners, count off! If anyone is missing, say so now! If you make a sound halfway through, we won't come back to rescue you!"
"Don't even think about running. If you run into those refugees who are like hungry wolves, they'll devour you to the bone!"
Those who were initially restless immediately quieted down upon hearing Liu Laohu's shout!
"They're all here, let's get going!"
At the hour of Yin (3-5 AM), Shen Lanxi, along with Qiu Shuang and the others, went to the inn to retrieve their stored belongings, bought all the available food, and headed straight for the city gate!
"Young master, all the official residences in Cangzhou City caught fire last night, and soldiers and many civilians in the city went to put out the fire!"
"I've never opened a city gate before. I never knew city gates were so heavy!"
Autumn frost, spring snow, and Li's family, along with their mother, forcefully opened the city gate and swaggered away from Cangzhou City!
They hadn't walked for long when they ran into Liu Laohu and his men.
Besides them, there were many other refugees.
The refugees stared at the wagon and the supplies it carried like hungry wolves.
Just a moment ago they were fighting side by side, but in the blink of an eye, they have become mortal enemies!
Liu Laohu cursed angrily, yet was utterly helpless. There were many more refugees than them; were they really going to fall into another wolf's den after just escaping one?
"Brother Liu, here you go!" Chunxue Qiushuang quickly distributed weapons to the constables.
Liu Laohu stared wide-eyed at the broadsword. Wasn't this the one the government had given to their constables? Wasn't it taken away by those villains?
"Young Master instructed us to give it to them!" Qiu Shuang said.
Holding the broadsword, Liu Laohu's courage swelled again, and he immediately drew the broadsword to intimidate others.
"Anyone who dares to come closer, my big knife won't have eyes!"
“You are all ungrateful bastards, you have forgotten how you escaped from the den of demons.”
"All constables and prisoners, get on the vehicle! Anyone who dares to stop the vehicle will be killed without mercy!"
The refugees were filled with fear and guilt, and no one dared to step forward again. Liu Laohu lashed the carriage with his whip and turned to look behind him.
He ran more than a hundred meters away and no one was chasing him before he staggered and sat down in the carriage.
"Damn it!" He was so scared he broke out in a cold sweat!
They ran non-stop for more than half an hour before slowing down.
After Qiushuang and Chunxue distributed the food and drink, they were just about to eat something when they heard a hawk's cry, and their bodies froze.
After Shen Lanxi got into the carriage, she slept until it got dark.
What about spring snow and autumn frost?
Usually, when she wakes up, don't these two immediately come over to her?
As soon as I got off the bus, I saw the people standing not far away, all pointing diagonally upwards.
She looked back and realized!
No wonder they were hiding so far away!
"Xiaoxue, come down!" She raised her left arm to signal.
With a sharp cry, the giant eagle spread its wings and circled once above Shen Lanxi's head before landing steadily on her left arm.
Those who witnessed this scene held their breath!
That eagle, with one talon, inflicted a wound so deep it could expose bone!
With one beak, it takes an eyeball!
Those who were easily frightened immediately turned their heads away, too afraid to look!
Shen Lanxi steadily supported the giant eagle, which weighed over a hundred pounds, with her left arm. She teased it a couple of times with her right hand, then opened the bamboo tube on the eagle's leg and took out the contents!
The letter read:
The Ten Thousand Poisons Sect was a small sect that emerged more than a decade ago. It was not well-known at first, but later became famous in the martial arts world because of a poison called Green Silkworm. Because of its ruthless actions, it was wanted by the imperial court. Some of its members were killed or captured, and the remaining descendants migrated to the Western Regions and have not appeared in the Central Plains since!
Although Guiguzi never leaves the world, he knows everything that happens under heaven, so this intelligence cannot be wrong!
"Spring snow, brush and ink!"
"yes!"
Write your reply and put it in the mailbox!
Xiaoxue didn't want to leave!
Looking into its bright, dark eyes, Shen Lanxi knew what it was thinking.
To motivate others, you must entice them with benefits, combine kindness with severity, be bold in appointing them, and also be cautious and vigilant!
But to rouse an eagle, all it takes is a few tasty snacks; humans are no match for eagles!
Go!
Whether it's a demon or a monster, it will be revealed sooner or later!
The news of the Ten Thousand Poisons Sect's resurgence spread rapidly throughout cities, villages, and even among refugees the next day!
Three carriages trailed far behind the exile procession.
"Young General, it's time to change the dressing!"
