Chapter 16

Su Heng has a strong figure and a mask on his face.

Can't help but make people feel vigilant.

Su Heng naturally knew this too. He kept a certain distance from the old man, bowed and saluted, and then introduced his background in detail: "I came here to find out where my sister is."

"Is that so..."

Hearing these words, the old man's face softened a little.

Seeing Su Heng alone, the old man felt relieved.Pointing at a house in the middle of the village with the dry smoke in his hand, he said, "That's the village chief's house. If you have any questions, go to the village chief and ask."

"Thank you!" Su Heng clasped his fists.

Go straight to the house in the middle of the village.

The sound of tinkling and rhythmic iron strikes came from the house.

Su Heng knocked on the door, then stood outside the door and waited quietly.

soon.

The sound of hammering iron disappeared.

The door was pushed open, and a gust of hot air rushed in.

In the white steam, a middle-aged man with bronze skin and well-developed muscles poked his head out, and looked Su Heng up and down with some doubts.

"Who are you?"

The middle-aged man asked suspiciously, "Are you a customer here to buy ironware?"

"it's not true."

Su Heng clasped his fists and said: "More than half a year ago, a group of government troops who attacked the White Lotus Sect were stationed in Iron Village for repairs, and then they disappeared. Among those troops are my close relatives. I want to ask you first. news."

"If you can provide clues, the silver reward is not a problem." Su Heng continued in a deep voice.

Join the Qingcheng Gang.

Although practicing martial arts every day consumes a lot.

However, as Su Heng's skill in dispensing medicine became more sophisticated, his income also increased rapidly.

During this period of time, it can be regarded as accumulating some silver taels.

"Since it's for the sake of inquiring about the news for the closest relatives, there's no need for silver taels."

The village chief shook his head, and thought about it: "I have the impression that there is indeed such a thing, but I don't remember the details clearly. If possible, you can follow me to the village and ask someone."

"Thank you!"

Su Heng's tone was full of gratitude.

Although we are in troubled times, the villagers and farmers in front of us are very simple and kind, which makes people feel emotional.

"It's just a little effort, don't be polite."

Under the leadership of the village chief, Su Heng walked towards the houses in the back row.

On some muddy streets, two or three shirtless children are playing football.

The ball is made of straw filled with pig bladders, it is very resilient, and it is a relatively popular toy in the Great Moon Dynasty.

At the corner of the street, under the shade of the trees, there are still some old people who are playing chess and chatting together, looking happy.

There are many craftsmen in Iron Village, and the quality of ironware produced has always been good.

Even in today's soaring prices, this remote village is still like a paradise, full of life.

The village chief walked towards the direction where the old people gathered.

Just about to ask.

But suddenly there was a rush of hoofbeats at the entrance of the village, followed by the piercing screams of children.

Su Heng's heart skipped a beat, and he had a premonition that something was wrong.

"what happened?"

The old people who were playing chess just now stood up one after another, with bewildered expressions on their faces.

"Sorry, I have to excuse me first."

The village chief spoke to Su Heng in a low voice, then turned around and rushed towards the entrance of the village.

Among the houses on both sides of the road along the way, gates were also opened one after another, and sturdy blacksmiths with swords, guns and sticks came out of the room one by one, and followed the village chief towards the entrance of the village.

"I have to go and see."

Although the contact time was not long, Su Heng still had a good impression of the craftsmen in Iron Village.

And, in case something unexpected happens.The clues are broken, and it will undoubtedly become much more difficult to find the clues of the eldest sister.

Su Heng followed the flow of people to the entrance of the village.

His pupils contracted slightly.

But he saw that the emaciated old guide with a dry cigarette in his hand had fallen into a pool of blood.

A pitch-black iron gun pierced into the middle of the old man's chest and came out through the chest.

The old man's eyes were wide open, and his whole body was trembling.

With one hand, he was still holding onto the iron object pierced into his chest, while the other hand had already dropped powerlessly to the ground.

The owner of the iron gun is a strong man in iron armor riding on a war horse.

This person is more than 1.8 meters tall, with well-developed muscles, deep eye sockets, light blue pupils, and beards on his chin like steel needles standing up. He is a standard lunar aristocratic appearance.

Behind the Moonman general, there were a dozen or so cavalrymen and a hundred or so infantrymen armed with iron weapons.

These cavalry and infantry had begun to separate and spread out towards the two sides with the general of the Moon people at the center, vaguely forming a siege to many craftsmen in Iron Village.

See this scene.

Although the village chief was angry in his heart, he still forcibly suppressed his emotions.

He half-kneeled on the ground, and said to the Yueren general: "I don't know, my lord, what is the reason for coming here? There are hundreds of people in my Iron Village, and they have never done anything against the laws of the Moon for decades."

As he spoke, the village head took out a piece of silver from his pocket and offered it with both hands.

But the Yueren general sneered contemptuously and said: "You guys deserve death for harboring cult members!"

not far away.

Su Heng watched the scene in front of him from a distance, his expression became colder and colder.

"Before I left Deling County, I had already heard people say that these state troops are more greedy and brutal than the cult bandits. Now I have seen it with my own eyes, and it is true."

Su Heng sighed in his heart, and vaguely guessed the general truth of the matter:
"These state troops don't have the courage to suppress bandits, but they have the courage to search and loot in the name of bandits. After the search, they return to the state capital and claim credit for the heads of innocent villagers. A reward, and if you are lucky enough, you may even be promoted to a higher rank."

"It's just, how innocent are these people!?"

"Evidence!? You took the silver in your hand to bribe this general, that's the evidence!" General Yueren laughed and waved his big hand down.

In an instant, the soldiers all around shouted and pressed towards the villagers' craftsmen.

The Moonman general on horseback pulled out the iron spear in his hand from the old man's chest, lifted it up, swung it in a circle, and stabbed it hard at the head of the village chief.

boom!
At the critical moment, the village chief turned sideways and dodged in embarrassment.

The spear was inserted into the ground, and an obvious pothole suddenly appeared on the hard ground.

Under the majestic momentum, mud and gravel splashed out in all directions, hitting the skin of the village head's back and face, making a crisp sound.

"How dare you hide!"

The Moonman general let out an angry roar, his face grim.

The spear in his hand swept out like a python in the forest.

Before the spear arrived, the howling wind blowing towards the face had already blown and scattered the village chief's hair.

"My life is over!"

The village chief closed his eyes, and there was a groan in his heart.

boom!
But at this moment, a tall and burly figure appeared directly in front of the village head.

He crossed his arms and collided with the iron gun, bursting out a sharp and piercing metal beep.

A gust of wind rose from under Su Heng's feet, and spread rapidly in all directions, stirring up the dust on the ground.

The iron gun was bent into a semicircle under the collision of two huge forces, making an overwhelmed creaking sound.But he was stopped by Su Heng, unable to move forward.
