Chapter 789 The Skill of Eating, Capture the Assassin (Second Change)

Peng Jiuyuan walked into the gate of the blacksmith workshop.

He rubbed his eyes subconsciously, then looked forward again.

Then his mouth opened slowly.

"Big—my lord..."

Peng Jiuyuan stammered and said.

"Oh, you have too little iron here."

Zhou Shu opened his mouth and said, "At most, I can forge so many hunting knives. There are a total of sixty-eight hunting knives and forty hunting forks. I forged them according to the original shape."

Peng Jiuyuan's tongue was dry. He just went out and said a few words to the village chief, and the time before and after added up to less than a cup of tea...

Then you forged sixty-eight hunting knives and forty hunting forks?

Although I know you are not an ordinary person, is this too exaggerated?

This kind of thing is beyond Peng Jiuyuan's cognition.

"My lord, are you the legendary armor builder?"

It took a long time for Peng Jiuyuan to come back to his senses, his eyes sparkled, and he spoke.

When he was training outside, he had heard that there is a military casting division in the world, which specializes in casting magical weapons for powerful warriors.

When he encountered setbacks in martial arts, he also wanted to become a soldier-casting master.

But his strength is low, and he can't get in touch with the real soldier-casting division at all. In the end, he only learned some blacksmithing skills. He has never been in contact with the real soldier-casting technique.

"I am the Armorsmith."

Zhou Shu nodded and said, "So, Peng Jiuyuan, I'm actually not very interested in fighting and killing. My favorite thing to do is to cast soldiers. You don't need to be so guarded against me. "

Peng Jiuyuan: "..."

Is this what I'm talking about now?

Well, I am really worried that your real purpose is to destroy Zhu Rongtian, which will definitely cause countless deaths and injuries.

"These weapons are enough for the villagers of Jieqiao Village, right? If not enough, go get some iron materials and I'll help you make them into weapons."

Zhou Shu continued, "Actually, if I wasn't afraid of committing crimes, I could help you forge a real magic weapon..."

"A real divine soldier?"

Peng Jiuyuan's heart moved, he hesitated for a long time, he still shook his head, and said, "No need, except for me, no one else in Jieqiao Village is a warrior. Even if there is a real magic weapon, they can't use it, and it may cause disaster."

Peng Jiuyuan was also a person who had traveled all over the world at the beginning. Although he was not qualified to own a magic weapon, he had seen some of it and knew that if he did not have enough strength, even if he had a magic weapon, he would not be able to keep it.

"what ever."

Zhou Shu shrugged.

He didn't have any feelings for the villagers of Jieqiao Village, and if it wasn't for Peng Jiuyuan and Cao Yue's saving him, he wouldn't want to help Jieqiao Village either.

"If that's the case, we can go."

Zhou Shu said.

"My lord, I'm afraid it's not enough."

Peng Jiuyuan shook his head and said with a serious expression.

He recovered from the shock, stopped thinking about the Armor Forging Division for the time being, and said, "We can't leave now."

"Um?"

Zhou Shu frowned.

Peng Jiuyuan hurriedly said, "It's not that I regretted it, but the village chief just came and said that the head of the Dong family was assassinated and was seriously injured and nearly died. Now the Dong family is searching for the assassins. They have sealed off all the nearby villages and forbid anyone to leave without authorization." .”

"Zhu Rong has nine surnames, and each surname has its own territory. The area where our Jieqiao Village is located is under the management of the Dong family. The Dong family is the largest force in this area, and it is also the supreme existence."

Peng Jiuyuan explained.

Zhu Rongtian, everyone has the nine surnames of Zhu Rong, but the same surname is also divided into grades.

Just like in this Jieqiao village, most people are surnamed Dong, but only the surname is Dong. They can be regarded as the side branches of the side branches of the Dong family who don't know how many times they have been divided, and they are real commoners.

The core of the Dong family is equivalent to the royal family, and that is the real privileged figure.

The Dong family that Peng Jiuyuan referred to refers to the lineage that is the core lineage of Zhu Rongjiu's surnamed Dong family.

"The head of the Dong family was assassinated?"

Zhou Shu frowned. He didn't care about the Patriarch of the Dong family, but his actions would be greatly affected by this.

The assassins were searched extensively and all the villages were sealed off. It is conceivable that they will search Jieqiao Village soon.

At that time, I'm afraid I won't be able to hide my identity.

The identity of Cao Yue's uncle from the distant house can be hidden from the villagers of Jieqiao Village, but it can't be hidden from the real members of the Dong family.

"Yes, the village chief came to me just now, just to confirm your true identity, my lord."

Peng Jiuyuan said with some worry.

Although he knew that Zhou Shu might be very powerful, but Zhou Shu was injured after all, so he might not be able to fight against the important figures of the Dong family.

"Oh? The village chief is suspicious of me?"

Zhou Shu looked at Peng Jiuyuan and asked.

Peng Jiuyuan nodded, "My lord, you suddenly appeared in Jieqiao Village and were seriously injured. It is reasonable for the village chief to think so."

Not to mention the village chief, even Peng Jiuyuan doubted whether Zhou Shu was really the assassin who assassinated the head of the Dong family.

After all, Zhou Shu's appearance was really a coincidence, and he was also injured, just like when he assassinated the head of the Dong family, he was injured by a master of the Dong family...

The corners of Zhou Shu's mouth raised slightly, with a mocking expression on his face.

"Uncle Peng, I can solemnly tell you that I am not an assassin."

Zhou Shu said, "A patriarch of the Dong family, if I want to kill him, he won't survive."

"Of course I trust my lord."

Peng Jiuyuan said that Zhou Shu didn't know whether he really believed it or not.

"I've already dealt with the village head, but my lord, the village head and the others are easy to say. I'm afraid they won't believe it easily when the important figures of the Dong family arrive. After all, you are not from Zhu Rongtian, my lord—"

Peng Jiuyuan said hesitantly.

"you mean?"

Zhou Shu looked at Peng Jiuyuan and said calmly.

"Now the masters of the Dong family have sealed off the nearby towns. If we leave Jieqiao Village now, we may run into them directly. But stay here, and when they come to search, you will be discovered by them, sir... "

"so what?"

"My lord, are you going to the back mountain to temporarily hide for a period of time, and after the turmoil of this matter has passed, I will accompany you to do business?"

Peng Jiuyuan said with a guilty conscience.

Zhou Shu looked at Peng Jiuyuan with a faint smile.

Peng Jiuyuan bowed his head a little ashamedly. His ancestors of the Peng family told him to obey Zhou Shu's orders, but what he is doing now is thinking about the safety of the villagers in Jieqiao Village and himself. Zhou Shu became the master.

"Are you afraid that I will implicate the people in Jieqiao Village?"

Zhou Shu said, "Or, do you think I'm afraid of the Dong family?"

"My lord, forgive me!"

Peng Jiuyuan knelt down on one knee, "The people in Jieqiao Village are innocent, they don't know what happened, I—"

"No need to explain."

Zhou Shu shook his head and said, "Your Peng family has been passed down for more than 20 generations. You don't agree with the ancestral precepts, and it's only natural."

"I'm not, I'm not—"

Peng Jiuyuan explained in a panic.

"Uncle Peng, don't be nervous."

Zhou Shu smiled and said, "Every word I say is sincere. I never regard you as my subordinate, and I don't want you to sacrifice anything for me."

"If it wasn't for special circumstances, I wouldn't even have any requirements for you."

"You have lived in Jieqiao Village for decades. If you have no feelings for the villagers here, I will feel a little disappointed."

"My lord, I—"

Peng Jiuyuan was ashamed.

"Okay, I know about the Dong family's affairs, don't worry, I will take care of this matter myself."

Zhou Shu smiled lightly, "You help me prepare a map of nearby towns, I will leave Jieqiao Village first, and I won't get involved here."

...

While Zhou Shu was talking with Peng Jiuyuan, in a small city a hundred miles away from Jieqiao Village, a man dressed as a mountain man knelt on the ground with a worried face.

In front of him, there was a group of knights riding strange beasts. They were wearing fiery red armor, holding spears in their hands, and they looked serious.

"You mean, there is an outsider in your village who is injured and has the ability to heal others?"

The leading knight looked at the mountain people kneeling on the ground and said coldly.

"yes."

The mountain man said in a trembling voice, "I saw with my own eyes that a wound that was more than a foot long and several inches deep was healed within a few breaths."

"Um?"

The leading knight frowned slightly, and said coldly, "Lead the way!"

With a wave of his hand, the mountain man was swept up by a ray of light and landed on the back of a strange beast.

Then, the dozens of knights left the town like a gust of wind, and galloped towards Jieqiao Village.

...

On the mountain road, a figure, holding a wooden crutch in his hand, walked on the road step by step.

That person was none other than Zhou Shu.

After he left Jieqiao Village, he didn't leave directly, but went straight up the mountain road, heading towards a mountain that he had long been optimistic about.

It was only tens of miles away from Jieqiao Village. If it was placed in front of it, it would be an instant for Zhou Shu.

But now, he could only rely on his legs to walk step by step. After walking for a long time, he only walked half the distance.

Peng Jiuyuan did not follow him. According to the agreement between the two, Peng Jiuyuan would join him after the Dong family searched Jieqiao Village.

As for whether Peng Jiuyuan would really come, Zhou Shu didn't really care.

What he wants to do, Peng Jiuyuan can do it, but it can also be done by someone else.

Big deal, Zhou Shu just needs to find someone else.

With supernatural powers, benevolence and righteousness, Zhou Shu can cultivate a master at any time.

"Jieqiao Village, Naihe Bridge, connects the worlds of life and death."

Zhou Shu stopped under a big tree, panted slightly, looked at the distant mountain peaks, and said to himself.

"Could it be that this is the real purpose of bringing me to Zhu Rongtian from the Atlas of Divine Soldiers?"

Zhou Shu pondered.

Originally, he thought that Peng Jiuyuan had brought him here because of the Shenbing Atlas.

But now it seems that it is not necessarily the case.

"I want to see what secrets this Jieqiao Village hides."

Zhou Shu rested for a while, picked up his crutches, and continued to walk towards the top of the mountain.

As for the members of the Dong family, Zhou Shu never paid attention to them from the beginning to the end.

...

At this time, a group of knights had already arrived in Jieqiao Village like clouds and fog.

"right here?"

The leading knight looked at a mountain dweller and asked in a deep voice.

A mountain man rolled from the back of the strange beast and fell to the ground, hurriedly said, "That's right here, that man is at Peng Jiuyuan's house."

"Dong Ergou!"

At this moment, a figure hurried over and shouted loudly.

The mountain man who brought the knight over was startled, but in an instant he saw the knight behind him, and he immediately regained his confidence.

"Village chief, these are the adults of our family. They are catching the assassin. I brought them back, of course, to catch the assassin!"

Dong Ergou said loudly.

"What assassins! How could there be assassins in our village!"

The village head said loudly.

"Are you the village chief?"

The leading knight snorted coldly, "Whether there are assassins or not is not up to you."

"Dong Ergou, lead the way."

He didn't put the village head in his eyes at all, and said coldly.

"My lord, please."

Dong Ergou nodded and said, "Peng Jiuyuan's home is not far away..."

"grown ups!"

The village chief took a step forward and said in a deep voice, "Although Peng Jiuyuan has a foreign surname, he has lived in our Jieqiao Village for decades and has a clean history. He cannot be an assassin."

He looked at the knights with some fear in his heart, but he mustered up his courage.

The knight's face darkened, "You didn't understand what I said, did you? Whether it's an assassin or not, I'll make my own judgment, it's not up to you!"

"Go away!"

He yelled loudly, and the sound waves visible to the naked eye slammed into the village chief's chest, knocking the village chief several feet away.

"puff--"

The village chief opened his mouth and spat out a mouthful of blood. A strong man fell to the ground and couldn't get up for a while.

"village head……"

Dong Ergou was also surprised.

"Not yet leading the way!"

The leader shouted.

Dong Ergou shuddered, gave the village chief a sorry look, and then walked quickly towards Peng Jiuyuan's house.

"Dong Ergou!"

The village chief was in a hurry.

Jieqiao Village is not big in the first place, and walking from one end to the other is only a few miles away.

The team of knights soon arrived at Peng Jiuyuan's house.

"The person you are talking about is him?"

The leading knight raised his spear and pointed it at Cao Yue who was standing in the yard.

"no."

Dong Ergou shook his head and said, "He is a child picked up by Peng Jiuyuan more than ten years ago. I'm talking about his uncle. His uncle's name is Cao Shu. He appeared here not long ago. He was seriously injured at that time. ..."

"Is your surname Cao?"

The leading knight said coldly, "Since he is an accomplice, let's take him down first."

Before he finished speaking, a knight rushed out behind him.

The strange beast soared into the air, directly stepped on the wooden fence, and grabbed Cao Yue.

Cao Yue was just a boy from a mountain village, he had never seen such a posture before, and he was completely shocked.

"Xiao Yue!"

With a cry of surprise, a black shadow rushed over, hugged Cao Yue, fell to the ground and rolled several feet away, narrowly avoiding the knight's grasp.

As soon as the knight failed to catch it, his face became a little ugly. He reined in the beast and turned around slowly.

"Are you also in the same party?"

He said coldly.

"My lord, I don't know what you mean. We are all ordinary mountain people..."

Peng Jiuyuan said with a look of panic.

"Ordinary mountain people?"

The leading knight drove the beast forward, looked down at Peng Jiuyuan, and said slowly, "Where is Cao Shu, hand him over."

"Who is Cao Shu, I don't know."

Peng Jiuyuan was taken aback for a moment, and said.

Although he tried his best to conceal it, he couldn't hide it from the knight's eyes.

Peng Jiuyuan did travel around the world when he was young, but to put it bluntly, he was the lowest-level martial artist. The so-called travel is just looking around, and the people and things he has experienced are very limited.

In addition, he has lived in Jieqiao Village for decades, so he doesn't need to intrigue with others at all, and there is no city.

It was fine if he didn't say that, but once he said that, the knight became even more suspicious.

"Dong Ergou, tell me."

The knight sneered.

"Peng Jiuyuan, hurry up and hand over that Cao Shu, don't let him implicate our entire village!"

Dong Ergou said loudly.

"Dong Ergou, you!"

Peng Jiuyuan was startled and angry. He didn't expect that someone in the village would inform him!

"What me! I'm telling the truth!"

Dong Ergou glanced at the knights, puffed up his chest, and said loudly, "That Cao Shu's origin is unknown and he was seriously injured. How can there be such a coincidence in the world!"

"He must be the assassin that the adults in my family are looking for! If you hand him over quickly, you will still be able to perform crimes and meritorious deeds, otherwise, you will only kill yourself!"

That Dong Ergou is a gangster in the mountains, and he doesn't have much power to threaten people.

Peng Jiuyuan was trembling with anger, and Cao Yue behind him was so frightened that he couldn't speak a word.

"Search for me."

The leading knight looked indifferent, and pointed his spear forward.

"boom--"

The knight who wanted to catch Cao Yue at the beginning exploded in momentum, and the strange beast under his crotch moved and shot out.

The spear glowed like a dragon, and directly blasted Peng Jiuyuan's wooden house into pieces.

Peng Jiuyuan's lips trembled. He tightly guarded Cao Yue behind him, staring at Dong Ergou angrily.

"no one."

The knight who made the move looked back at the leader and said.

"Tell me, where is Cao Shu?"

The leading knight looked at Peng Jiuyuan and said coldly.

"My lord, I really don't know—"

Peng Jiuyuan said.

Before he finished speaking, the leading knight had murderous looks on his face.

"Don't know? Kill the kid behind him and see if he knows."

The leading knight said indifferently.

"yes!"

The knight who smashed Peng Jiuyuan's house showed a grin on his face, raised the spear in his hand, and stabbed at Cao Yue.

"don't want!"

Peng Jiuyuan was shocked. He turned around and hugged Cao Yue, desperately trying to avoid the knight's shot.

But Peng Jiuyuan has no strength himself, how can he avoid that blow?

Seeing that the spear was about to string Peng Jiuyuan and Cao Yue together, the tip of the spear stopped steadily only an inch away from Peng Jiuyuan's back.

"This seat will give you one last chance."

The leading knight said coldly, "Tell me about the whereabouts of Cao Shu, otherwise, Jieqiao Village will be wiped out because of your concealment!"

"Go to a few people and drive all the people in this village here."

While speaking, the leading knight ordered.

The knights behind him, as if they had encountered something amusing, responded with a smile, and then drove the strange beast under his crotch to go in all directions.

"grown ups--"

Dong Ergou was also frightened. He didn't think so. He originally thought that he would get a bounty if he took someone to capture Cao Shu. People do it.

The people in the village are all his uncles and brothers, all his relatives.

The leading knight just gave him a cold look, as if looking at an ant.

"You guys, there is a time for a stick of incense. After a stick of incense, if I don't know the whereabouts of Cao Shu, then I will start killing people—"
