"This official is Lu Sheng, old man, which blacksmith told you that you died when you went to the coastal defense army?"

"Yes...... Is it a blacksmith outside of a town, what is it called...... Iron Armor's ...... I don't understand that I really can't open the pot before I come to ask for debts, and it's not just a family of old people, we are a village...... They are all hungry, and the doll is crying with hunger......"

"Then you really have to thank the Tiejia Song for saving his life. Lu Sheng chuckled, "They left the token to you, and they didn't come to redeem it for half a year." This means that they don't intend to pay you back at all.

You are an old man, and you dare to ask for money when you are alone? A casual remark that the road is uneven can make your old man die without a place to be buried. Fortunately, you have met a good person, and when you encounter such a thing in the future, don't go alone, it's best to come out of the whole village.

You said they left the token, what about the token?"

The old man shrank suddenly, and then trembled and took out an iron token from his sleeve. The token material is very good, and it is slightly shiny in the jet black.

Lu Sheng took the token and glanced at it.

"Tongnan Mansion, General Soldier of the Coastal Defense Army, Li Yi!"

"This should be General Li's personal token. Lu Sheng thought about it, and raised his head to look at the old man again, "They eat and drink for five days, how many silver taels do you want?"

"Your Excellency...... You give me a ...... Fifty taels, right?"

"What?" Lu Sheng let out a cry of surprise.

"No, no, thirty taels, thirty taels will do...... the old man suddenly shuddered again, curled up on the ground and shivered.

Lu Sheng didn't think that the old man wanted too much money, but too little. Even if not all of the coastal defense forces were dispatched, they would certainly be quite numerous. Fifty taels of silver is just a year's income for ordinary people.

"Old man, it's not that the official said that you want too much money, it's just that this amount surprised the official. Old man, how many coastal guards came that time?"

"Probably...... About seven or eight hundred?" said the old man, somewhat uncertainly.

"What's the name of your village?"

"My village is in the coastal township, closest to the sea...... That Zhihai Village ......"

Lu Sheng took out a map from the drawer, skimmed his fingers over the map, and finally froze at the position that the old man said, and raised his head suddenly.

This location turned out to be one of the eight landing points of the Japanese invaders half a year ago. Could it be that the coastal defense army tried to resist the Japanese invaders? Impossible, the records of the coastal defense army have never recorded 800 people fighting against the Japanese invaders. Moreover, a stay is five days......

"Old man, what are the coastal defense troops doing in your village?"

"I don't know, I heard that it's for drills. But the group of soldiers didn't see them do anything, they just carried dozens of boxes of stones to the beach. ”

"Stones, what stones?"

"A very beautiful stone, shining like a star. After five days, the Coastal Defenses left. But we left the stones by the sea, and when the Japanese came, we hid in other villages, and it took many days before we dared to go back. ”

"What about the stones?"

"Gone...... There was a strong wind in those days, and it may have been washed away by the tide......"

Lu Sheng stood up violently and paced to the bottom of the hall. The essence in his eyes flashed, and his heartbeat couldn't help but accelerate.

Coastal Defense, star-studded stones. This made Lu Sheng instantly think of the star-striped iron ore. And the coastal defense army actually transported the star-striped iron ore to the seaside...... There is only one possibility, and that is delivery.

Coastal Defense, hand over the star-striped iron ore to the Japanese Kou......? Then the workshop to build the Starstriped Divine Soldier should not be in Tongnan Mansion, but in ...... Overseas!

"Are you sure it's those starry stones?" Lu Sheng asked again with confirmation.

"How can this not be confirmed, the old son also secretly hugged a piece, saying that it will be used to press pickles in the future, and it will be left in my backyard......"

"Very good! Old man, take us now, and the officer will see the stone for himself. Come on, prepare the carriage and horses, and we will set off at once. ”

This was an unexpected joy, Lu Sheng really didn't expect that he could find such an important clue so coincidentally. Xuan Tianwei pressed the jailers and contractors hard to find out where the prisoners went.

Up to now, all the questions I could have asked had been asked, but the whereabouts of the prisoners were like a stone sinking into the sea. Tongnan Mansion is so big, even if they hide it well, there should be clues.

What's more, the creation of the Starstriped Divine Weapon is so sophisticated and complex, it can't be created casually. A high-temperature flame requires a special furnace, and instant quenching requires ice water.

Iron smelting, forging, a complete set of production process is a complex and precise process. It can't be so silent! But it's been ten days, and I can't find the slightest mysterious and abnormal place around Tongnan Mansion.

And the old man's words made Lu Sheng suddenly enlightened.

There are many overseas islands in Tongnan Province! If the factory is set up on the island, of course, it will be unaware. When those prisoners were sent out of the sea, it was as if they had evaporated from the world.

Thinking of this, Lu Sheng's heart couldn't wait even more.

"Old man, you came to collect debts, but who did you tell you?

"No, except for the people in our village, I didn't say anything to anyone......" the old man replied honestly.

Lu Jian was ready, Lu Sheng helped the old man to the carriage, and in order not to attract attention, Lu Sheng only took a team of ten people to Zhihai Village.

The road to the south of the city is fine, but when you get out of the city, the road becomes muddy. The torrential rain that had just fallen last night was so strong that the road has not yet dried.

It took more than two hours to rush from the Criminal Division to Zhihai Village, and it was already afternoon when I set off from the morning and arrived at the place.

"Hey, why is it so quiet today...... In the past, before the old man arrived at the entrance of the village, my two big yellow dogs had already run out to pick me up. Why didn't you come out today? You must have gone somewhere!"

The old man felt that the atmosphere was a little depressing, so he found a topic to talk about.

"Old man, you also love dogs?"

"Yes, my wife and I like it, but I like my rhubarb, and my wife likes yellow. Those two dogs are smart, since I raised them, no stranger in my house has dared to come in.

Last time, the coastal defense army sent out 300 wen to put my rhubarb into the pot, and I went to his grandfather's to try to touch my rhubarb, but there was no door! My lord, in front of us is the head of our village.

At this time, there should be many people looking forward to it in the village...... Why didn't you come? There should still be a mud doll ......."

"Stop!" Lu Sheng suddenly whispered, the carriage stopped, and a Xuan Tianwei around him also grabbed the reins of the horse.

"Your Excellency!" everyone looked at them suspiciously.

Lu Sheng got out of the car and looked at the dilapidated but warm village in front of him from a distance. The oncoming sea breeze brings a hint of the saltiness of the sea.

"You take the carriage a little farther away. Lu Sheng commanded at a Xuan Tianwei.

The Xuantian guard took the order and left, and the faces of Lu Jian and Gai Ying suddenly changed. In his eyes, a solemn emotion flashed.

Lu Sheng will not stop for no reason, and between the TV fireworks, the two realized the seriousness of the matter. His face suddenly changed, gloomy as ink.

The carriage left slowly, and Xuan Tianwei immediately formed a formation and followed Lu Sheng to step on the mud and slowly walk towards Zhihai Village.

Entering the entrance of the village, a stiff dog's leg stretched out from the grass on the side of the road. The yellow fur swayed slightly in the wind like wild grass.

The village was quiet, as quiet as death.

The doors of every house are closed, and it is difficult to see inside.

But Lu Sheng knew that there was no need to watch it.

Because from every corner of the village, figures appeared one after another. Dressed in black, masked, with a sword at his waist.

One by one, the Japanese slowly gathered, like a black and white ink-sound movie. Lu Sheng's eyes swept over, about three hundred widows.

And this time, he only brought fifteen Xuantian Guards. This still counts Lu Jian and Gai Ying.

At this moment, Lu Sheng understood!

The mastermind behind the scenes has finally made a move.

And as soon as you make a move, it's a killer move!

Lu Sheng's final vision was fixed on the two people in front of the widows. When I saw Xie Jianhao again, he had already taken off his disguise. Dressed in luxurious purple clothes, wearing a dazzling jade crown.

The breeze blows, and the wide sleeves dance in the wind.

Xie Jianhao's side is naturally Liu Shengyan's man!

This lineup, dealing with Lu Sheng, who is only fifteen people, is definitely luxurious. And the Xie Jianhao in front of him is not comparable to yesterday's ghost assassin.

Although Lu Sheng has not gone all out with Xie Jianhao, Lu Sheng can be sure that Xie Jianhao is a peerless master who is really no less than a step.

Whether it is kendo or sword moves, they have reached the pinnacle of the pinnacle. If you add the Yanagi man next to him, this time the kill should be nine out of ten.

The man behind the scenes, very good at careful calculations.

"Lu Sheng, I've been waiting for you for a long time!" Xie Jianhao's eyes were very excited, especially when he saw Lu Sheng having a sword in his hand, he was even more excited. He had been longing for this battle for a long time.

Xie Jianhao gently stuck out his tongue and licked his lips.

"What about the villagers of Zhihai Village?" Lu Sheng's gloomy voice sounded, and the chill through it was like a cold wind. Not only the widow behind him, but also the Yanagi man trembled at that moment.

"Yes, that's it...... That's how it should be...... So you are worthy to fight me...... It's good......" Xie Jianhao trembled with excitement, and the sword in his hand kept making a gurgling sound.

"Lu Sheng, at this time, you still don't forget to throw away your hypocrisy and care about those so-called villagers? Do you think we are waiting for you here, can the villagers wait for you to come?" Liu Shengyan smiled with a hideous face.

"Then I'll chop you into meat sauce!" Lu Sheng turned his face away and cast a look at Liu Shengyan.

His eyes were like a death gaze, with Lu Sheng's sword intent of killing. Liu Shengyan's face changed, and cold sweat overflowed his forehead in an instant.

Just one look made Liu Shengyan fall into an ice cellar. At this moment, he realized that Lu Sheng was not only a high-ranking official of Xuantian Mansion, he was also ...... Sword Saint Lu Sheng.

A name like the bright moon in the sky, a master of martial arts.

"I hope to have a fair fight with you!So, I specially left the lives of the villagers of Zhihai Village!" Xie Jianhao said slowly, "Between us, there must be one person who will sleep here today, and the bet of victory or defeat is one hundred and twelve lives of Zhihai Village!!"
