Serving the perennial beasts, and Qiao Yewei often carries out assassination missions, her six senses are different from ordinary people. Those dark whistles have strong martial arts, and their skills are on par with the black-clothed people encountered in Fengjiazhai.

She didn't rush closer, but hid outside the woods for a few days, just when she bumped into a shipment of goods to be delivered, and judging by the fact that the wheels were sunk in, the weight of things was not shallow.

Take advantage of the lack of attention, and deal with one of them to blend into the convoy.

No wonder the wheels are sunken, and the boxes on the car are full of black iron powder.

The secret whistle inspection is strict, and it is only released after it is found to be correct.

The convoy entered the cave, and there was a noisy banging sound from inside. The huge cave is full of blacksmiths with shackled feet, working day and night to build weapons.

The temporary work was strictly managed, and when the blacksmith slacked off, they served with whips. Qiao Yewei didn't find a chance to lurk, and left with the team after unloading the iron powder.

Back in the jungle, she waited patiently again, and finally after three days, boxes of weapons were brought out of the cave, and she walked for a long time in the middle of the mountains until she entered another cave.

There seemed to be a cave in there, but the defense was too tight, and Qiao Yewei couldn't get close at all.

"What's in there?" Don't say it at a critical time, it's really a desperate person.

Qiao Ye glanced at Xia Qiu, "I guess it should be the entrance to the village, there should be a lot of people living in it." I saw a shipment of grain coming in, and in large quantities. As for whether Feng Yuhuai and the others were inside, she couldn't find out.

Xia Qiu's eyes straightened, "Think about it again, how much food there is." ”

Qiao Yewei recalled carefully, "There are thirty cars. ”

Xia Qiu quickly calculated in his heart, and it happened that the number of discrepancies with the dark account of the Hua family's grain store was not large.

The person behind the scenes should be the mastermind of the puppet corpse. There is food, weapons, and puppet corpses, and the blind can guess what the mastermind behind the scenes is trying to do.

This matter has far exceeded her original imagination and has become more and more complicated.

Qiao Yewei was not interested in the Weapons Workshop and private soldiers, but she guessed that Feng Yuhuai would be hidden inside. If you want to take her life, you have to get rid of those people first.

Judging from the grain cart, it is estimated that there are about 20,000 people in it, which is similar to Lu Tingxiu's previous guess.

Xia Qiu is only interested in puppet corpses, and it depends on what Lord Lu will do when it comes to the living pretending to be gods and ghosts.

As soon as Er Qiao left, Lu Tingxiu came back, still with someone.

It's quite stout, about thirty years old, and his face doesn't look very good, and he has been riddled with dark diseases.

Xia Qiu didn't know him, but Old Man Tu recognized the person at a glance, wasn't this the person he rescued on the way to Liangzhou before? Because of him, Xia Qiu almost fell off the cliff with a car and a car.

Lu Tingxiu introduced her, "This is Brother Shi, whose ancestral home is Shiba. ”

Shiba's eighteen sons, Xia Qiu instantly understood that it was the Shi family who appeared.

The eldest brother surnamed Shi, formerly known as Shi Fan, is the most famous foundry craftsman of the contemporary Shi family. Under his leadership, the casting of the Shi family has been greatly improved, and the number of people engaged in casting in the family is also unprecedentedly grand, there were fifty-eight people in Shiba at that time, not to mention begging for a living in various parts of the Min Dynasty.

The weapons that the Shi family fought were hard and sharp, but they were unexpectedly wiped out because of this.

Late that night, a group of well-trained masked men entered Shi's house, slaughtered women, children, old and weak, and men in the prime of life were captured deep in the mountains and cast day and night.

Of the fifty-eight people, a few were actually killed in the resistance, and some were tortured to death in the cave where the light of day did not see the light of day, and only about forty people remained.

Shi Fan survived for the people, so he could only cast weapons for them, at the beginning, he secretly used his hands and feet, delayed for various reasons, and the weapons he made were either brittle or hard enough, and he did not make good weapons for two consecutive months.

The patience of those people was worn out, and then they began to kill, and Shi Fan had no choice but to wait for an opportunity in torment.

He escaped, but was chased and killed along the way, and if it wasn't for Wei Ge's rescue, he would have been dead long ago.

Lu Tingxiu thought thoughtfully, "Brother Shi, although you are a craftsman, I think you don't seem to be bad. ”

"Don't hide it from Lord Lu, I served as a soldier in the southwest for a few years in my early years."

There are barbarians on the border all the year round, although the two sides did not make a big move, but there are constant sneak attacks in small fights, and in the long run, the soldiers are also considered to have rich experience in warfare.

Those guys were well-trained, like an army. Shi Fan sensed that he was suspicious, so he seized the opportunity to escape. The gang was afraid that he would leak secrets, so they chased and killed them all the way.

Lu Tingxiu picked up his pen and drew Hua Feng's masked black-clothed outfit, "Brother Fan, have you ever seen this person?" ”

The man in black only showed a pair of eyes, but his body shape was quite familiar, Shi Fan turned into ashes and recognized it, gritted his teeth and said: "He has been to the foundry a few times this person, and he can't be wrong."

It was he who saw his trick and directly killed his own brother with one slap and forced him to cast weapons. If he doesn't comply, he kills one every half hour.

Although I didn't see his face clearly, this person was the living king of Hades, and those people obeyed his words, and his status was definitely not low.

Lu Tingxiu asked, "How many weapons have you forged in the cave?" ”

Shi Fan thought for a moment, "Their foundry was prepared in a hurry, and I delayed it for two months. The iron powder that came later was uneven, and it took a long time to refine, so only about 5,000 handfuls were made in total. ”

He was unwilling to become a murder weapon, but in fact, he secretly did things in the process. Those weapons are extremely sharp when they are first created, but the longer they are placed, the weapons will gradually become brittle, but the process will be longer, as long as they are not really hard to detect.

However, the Shi family was secretly transferred to the cave, and he escaped in a hurry, surrounded by vast forests, he really couldn't tell the location of the foundry.

Don't worry about this, Qiao Yewei just happened to bump into it, and her memory is quite amazing.

After Shi Fan went down to rest, Xia Qiu closed the door, "What are you going to do?" ”

What to do? Of course, it cannot be ignored, and this is also the first task of his appointment.

Xia Qiu looked up at Lu Tingxiu and took a deep breath, "Lord Lu, are you sure you want to continue to hide it from me?" ”

"It's not that I want to hide it from you, it was a secret at first, and then I didn't want to involve you too much." It's just that now the two of them have become grasshoppers in the same boat, directly tied together.

Lu Tingxiu pulled her to sit down, held her hands and said with a stern expression: "I was born in the Hou Mansion, and I have been the prince's companion since I was a child, and later the prince ascended the throne and became the emperor......

The first emperor was not justified, he took the bloody road of the prince to seize the heir, although he finally became the emperor and cut the emperor, but because of the whip, he did not kill all the brothers.

The Liang King in the southwest was the most vocal back then, but unfortunately he failed to win the throne in the end and avoided the border. He has been like a day for decades, secretly saving, lying on the salary and trying to survive the death of the emperor's brother, and now his nephew's foundation is still shallow, so it is naturally a good opportunity to turn over.
