The Demon Swordsman 2
Ch. 238 - Desas-Desus
Between the valley and the towering hills, smoke billowed high through the chimney. Lao Zi had many acquaintances who were quite reliable in blacksmithing, so within four days they had already arrived three skilled craftsmen. They worked day and night, making armor, swords, small knives and other fighting equipment.
The construction of forts and other buildings went quite fast. In addition, their numbers have increased, so far the Shang Empire has not taken any action regarding the presence of these Four new Surveillance Units. The news of the deaths of thirty more members of the Four Core Surveillance Units and 400 soldiers in one night, and also in the hands of one man made a stir of one Shang Empire.
This news gained more attention to Emperor Qin so that in sending some Imperial spies, he only realized some of his subordinates were lost without news. Just leave a small letter of resignation.
So did the Imperial Pillars who occupied seats two through nine. They start to worry for unclear reasons. The figure that killed nearly a thousand people, counted from the first fight of 250 people and the second 431 people was enough to make their security compromised.
Especially when one of the soldiers reported about the strange events that occurred when one of the mayor's envoys was about to capture the former Holy Sword Alliance that moved the members. Messages in wood written with sword eyes; a New Era Begins.
It is a sign that something big will come up.
The community was turbulent and instead supported the new Four Surveillance Units. There is no blame for fighting them. The Four Surveillance Units shut themselves in tight about who they are. Moreover, their leader who gave rise to a lot of guesses and news of birds. Some say that he is one of the descendants of another nation, of all the news that only one comes close to the fact.
That the figure had bright blue glowing eyes. Like the Fire of Eternity that burned down Renwu City. Until this moment, no one can be sure who exactly the figure is. Neither Emperor Qin nor the Imperial Pillar were able to confirm what was going on in their Empire.
The widespread fall of the Four Surveillance Units rang out all the way to the Qing Empire. Just like the Shang Empire side, they had yet to take any action. Either the Four Surveillance Units will side with whichever or it will be neutral. It was not uncommon for the people of the Qing Empire to come, to join. Although most were rejected by Lan Zhuxian himself. He did not want to destroy Xin Chen's trust by accepting people who would most likely be in trouble.
Their main goal was to bring down the government of the Qing Empire. Lao Zi and Bai Huang were also blatantly opposed. Walking a week since Xin Chen had left, their development had grown even faster. The first nine units are well directed. Nan Ran and Bai Huang took over the recruitment of members, they increased to 500 people.
Of course more strong people joined after hearing such astonishing news.
There was a conversation in a small cottage where wine was served.
"Our young master, what does he look like?" One of them is confident.
"Surely he was a great warrior who lived many years in hiding, waiting for the right time to reveal his figure. Ah, considering my superior and comparing him to this person, he can definitely destroy the Dark Dragon even with his bare hands!"
"True, thirty of the unit died without leaving ashes. I had a chance to see their leader Feng Guzu's head displayed in a separate room. This is not a lie, it means our leader is ... Ck, I'm sure he can protect this one empire alone."
"Other than we wait. A strong person seemed to have never been injured in the slightest. He's amazing."
Bai Huang, who heard the conversation, imagined himself in Xin Chen's position when he heard those who knew nothing about who Xin Chen was. Bai Huang was not ignorant of the youth's past, losing his father before his own eyes without being able to do anything about it. He had lost himself only to bury the wound deeply.
When everyone so exalted his name, wished more on him and threw heavy duty to be carried alone for reasons of trust. Sometimes, such a thing is quite painful. When he himself was injured and tried to protect tens of thousands of people alone.
'You're strong, but I'm not sure you can bear this all alone forever.' Bai Huang's inner voice then approached the three people who were still busy fussing over who their leader was.
"The person you're talking about, he's just a human being. We are here to support him, not to praise him constantly. I'm sure he's a non-praise man, he'd rather prove his own work without asking for any respect from others."
The three people were silent, then compact. "Good, Senior."
"Fish make it hard!"
Then throw things up to noise.
"Tian Xi, when you're done cleaning up the rest of the food!"
"No way!" it was until the veins on his neck appeared. "I am the master why I am a slave. These fish are so insolent."
Nan Ran who accidentally passed by the place laughed out loud, until someone else cengo saw his behavior. Laughing at Tian Xi was a pleasure in itself, his stomach was tickled.
"Of all units one is just your least elite job!"
"Your mouth, Big High!"
"Oi, oi, you're upside down calling it."
"Your mouth, Big Height!" Tian Xi snorted like a buffalo.
"Huhahah!" the laughter is becoming. Tian Xi clenched his mouth when he found the fierce Bai Huang coming.
Seeing Nan Ran lazily, Bai Huang immediately stuck his head up.
"Work!"
"Argh, geez!" Nan Ran's head felt hot and throbbing, he saw Bai Huang who was glaring furiously. Though it was only today that he could let go of the tiredness with Tian Xi's withering.
"By the way you guys saw where Lao Zi went, I wanted to talk to him."
Nan Ran shook his head not knowing, "Come. Maybe practice archery with the others. I heard he also formed a special group of archers, to the east try to find."
"I also thought like that, there was no him anywhere. The others were busy training without Lao Zi's whereabouts, they said the boy had not appeared these few days."
"Maybe you're recruiting fellow archers?" Tian Xi gave a proposal.
"He should have reported to Lan Zhuxian, he was obeying the rules. It's impossible to move on your own without consent."
As they were busy talking appeared someone who suddenly hoarded.
"You're looking for Lao Zi? I happen to be looking for him all day. Don't tell me he's hands off with his own job?"
