Chapter 496: Chapter 465: Should Not Have Brought Someone Back to the Village_1

“Are you really secretly smelting iron and forging weapons?”

Daohua stared with wide eyes at Yongwang, who hung his head in silence.

“Do you not know that such actions are punishable by death?”

Upon hearing this, Yongwang lifted his head, his expression somewhat agitated, “Of course, we know it’s a capital offense, but what can we do? Most of the people in the village were captured and brought here. We can’t escape, and to survive, we have no choice but to help them smelt and forge.”

Daohua was silent, then after a long moment, she asked, “Where are you smelting and forging the iron?”

Yongwang’s face showed hesitation, and after thinking, he said, “Miss, please take my advice, forget about this. If you don’t know about it, you might still have a chance to survive. But if Lord Cao and the others find out that you’ve discovered the secret of Sishan Village, you will definitely be killed.”

...

Daohua shook her head, “Whether I will be killed depends only on whether I am of any use. If I am useful, even if they know I’ve discovered their secret, they won’t do anything to me; on the contrary, if I am of no use, even if I were blind and deaf, they would still kill me.”

Yongwang pondered for a while, then sighed, “Alright, I’ll take you there. The armory is built on the East Mountain. We are now on West Mountain. We can’t go through the village; it might take over an hour trekking through the mountains.”

Daohua nodded.

The two of them quickly headed towards East Mountain.

Meanwhile, on East Mountain.

Unlike the other three mountains, this one had countless stone tombs built all over it.

At this moment, in front of an ordinary stone tomb halfway up the mountain, Old Fan with a gloomy face asked a one-eyed burly man, “What, they haven’t found the person yet?”

The one-eyed burly man hung his head low, ashamed, and nodded, “We searched inside and outside the village but still have not spotted anyone.”

Old Fan frowned, “She’s just a frail young girl; could she really vanish into thin air?” As he spoke, his eyes narrowed slightly, “Someone must be hiding her.”

Upon hearing this, the one-eyed man immediately said, “Impossible, the people in the village don’t have the courage.”

Old Fan snorted and coldly laughed, “They don’t have the courage? Have you forgotten those who tried to escape before? Some people are desperate enough not to care about their own lives, let alone hide someone. Keep searching, and kill anyone you’re suspicious of directly. I want to see how long they can hold out.”

Looking at Old Fan’s sinister eyes, the one-eyed burly man did not dare vocalize his plea and hung his head as he retreated.

After he left, the stone tomb behind Old Fan opened automatically, and the Guard Leader came out, “Old Fan, don’t worry too much, there’s only one exit, the person won’t be able to escape.”

Old Fan shook his head, concern evident in his eyes, “For some reason, I’ve been feeling uneasy these past couple of days.” As he spoke, his gaze suddenly became ferocious.

“It’s my fault. I shouldn’t have sent One-Eyed Bald to handle the kidnapping. Those two are only good for fighting and killing, not delicate tasks.”

The Leader nodded, “Indeed, One-Eyed Bald should not have brought the official’s relative into Sishan Village. Whether she has escaped or not, she poses a huge risk.”

Old Fan sighed, “I used the wrong person for the job!”

The Leader smiled, “It’s a minor mistake; Old Fan, you shouldn’t blame yourself.”

Old Fan was silent for a moment, “We still have to report this to the master.”

The Leader nodded, “That’s best.”

Saying so, the two turned and entered the stone tomb.

Before long, Old Fan came out alone, holding a homing pigeon in his hand.

After releasing the pigeon, Old Fan did not re-enter the stone tomb but walked down the mountain instead.

He did not trust One-Eyed to handle things; he had to oversee it himself. _{fɾeewebnoveℓ.co๓}
