Heng Yi was sincere.
The old man was a little angry that Heng Yi didn’t know what was good for him, but he had been following them all the way. Although Heng Yi was cold, he was polite.
On the way, he even gave some money to beggars and told them to go to Sanzhou Town. They would be settled there in the future.
After the beggars received the money, they happily asked where Sanzhou Town was. Heng Yi showed them the way.
The old man followed him, and Heng Yi gave a mother and daughter who couldn’t afford to see a doctor some money so that the woman could get medicine for her daughter.
When others asked who he was? He did not say anything.
He only brushed his clothes away after the matter and hid his achievements and fame.
He might have thought that the money was not a big deal and even forgotten about it, but to those beggars and the mother and daughter, it was life-saving money.
Humph.
The old man snorted, “I’m thirsty.
Heng Yi immediately took the water bag and poured it into the bamboo cup.
The old man took it arrogantly and took a few sips before saying, “Did you all not notice anything wrong along the way?”
I did not notice it earlier. Now that I smell the stench of blood and decay, I am shocked and feel that something is wrong. I also want to go to that village to take a look…”
Heng Yi pointed at the faint lights in the distance.
He instantly understood.
The commoners slept at night and could not even bear to light oil lamps, let alone lanterns.
The lanterns were also telling the pedestrians that there was a village there. People like them who traveled through the night would definitely find a place to rest.
Heng Yi pursed his lips.
“Are we still going?” The old man asked.
Nothing ventured, nothing gained. I want to build a military camp in Sanzhou Town, and I’ve affected the interests of many people. It’s normal for these people to want me dead. It’s normal for the Mountain Bandits of the other two states to want me dead.”
Heng Yi took a deep breath.
The old man smiled coldly.
“Alright, then go and die.
Heng Yi continued, “Old man, I have to go. If the village is full of thieves, where are the villagers? The smell of blood and decay that has spread so far is telling me that the people in the village have already suffered…”
This was indeed a trap.
Heng Yi had two choices, one was to go, and the other was to leave.
In the past, they might have saved a few villagers, or they might have been wrongly accused of killing the villagers.
If they left, they could avoid this trap, but they might also be framed for killing the people.
The former could save a few people.
The latter could not save any of them.
“Marquis, I’ll go with you.” Zhang Zhao said.
No, I’ll go alone. You all stay outside and act according to the situation.”Heng Yi paused, “We have to prioritize our lives.”
This is an order.
Qin Song said, “If the Marquis insists on going alone, how about disguising yourself?”
No need. I just want those people to know that I already know their trap.
He was very bold.
When Heng Yi rode his horse, the old man stood where he was.
Qin Song looked at the old man, “Old man, you want to take the Marquis as your disciple, right?”
Humph.” The old man snorted.
There was no retort.
Old man, it wasn’t easy for our Marquis to have what he has today. His early years were very bitter, but after he gained the ability, he did everything he could to help those in need. The Marquis and Marchioness’ fast food restaurant did make money, but it also benefited the people nearby and helped many elderly and children who needed help.”
“There’s a village outside the city where our Marquis live. Not only do we raise over a hundred children in the manor, but there are also over thirty homeless elderly people.”
“The Marchioness is even kind-hearted. She handed over the recipe for making wine to the person who came to learn the skill-”
Alright.” The old man interrupted Qin Song in a deep voice.
“You’re so long-winded.
Although he was disgusted, he still jumped into the darkness.
Qin Song heaved a sigh of relief.
Fortunately, the man followed him.
Otherwise…
Heng Yi’s martial arts were much better than before, and he had good eyesight. Once he reached the gates of the small village, he had abandoned his horse and quietly approached.
He didn’t go straight into the village but walked towards the place where the stench was coming from.
Under the dark night, the sins were buried.
However, the soil could not cover the stench of rotting corpses.
He stood at the side in silence.
His hand gripped the hilt of his sword tightly.
Whose family was buried under the soil? Whose wife, children, and parents?
Who were those people? Such madness…
How innocent were the people who died in vain…
Heng Yi took a deep breath and slowly walked toward the village.
The lanterns were hung at the entrance, and several of them lit up the door.
The lantern was pasted with the word ‘happy’ on it.
Then he heard voices coming from inside.
It was a group of people drinking.
It seemed like they were celebrating a happy occasion, but these people spoke with great vigor and did not look like villagers at all.
Heng Yi saw a black shadow silently enter the yard.
He pursed his lips.
He pushed open the door behind him.
There were more than a dozen tables in the courtyard, and every table was occupied by men.
He could hear a woman’s painful moans coming from one of the rooms.
He was not a man who had never experienced love.
He knew that women didn’t cry like this when they were having fun.
He noticed the old man float up to the roof and slowly sit down.
Heng Yi knew that the old man was testing him.
It was a test to see if he could get out alive tonight.
The men placed the wine jars on the table.
‘Who are you?”
Marquis of Wanning, Heng Yi.” Heng Yi said.
Brother, that’s Heng Yi!” Someone said excitedly.
The man in the lead slowly walked toward Heng Yi, “Lord Marquis, do you want to sit down and have a drink with us?”
“Where did the villagers go?” Heng Yi asked.
Killed by us?” The leader laughed.
They were assassins in the pugilistic world.
Take other people’s money and help them eliminate disasters.
They only cared about killing people, not asking for reason or karma.
They knew that Heng Yi was powerful. If he wasn’t, their client wouldn’t wouldn’t even look for them in the first place.
However, they were not those useless Mountain Bandits.
After confirming that the person in front of him was Heng Yi, the man in the lead bowed to Heng Yi, “I’ve been entrusted to take the Marquis’s head.”
Heng Yi drew his sword and slashed at the leader.
He was fast, but the man was even faster.
The others also attacked Heng Yi, and in the room, the woman screamed and slapped.
Heng Yi and the man were fighting, their weapons clashing against each other, making a sharp noise.
Heng Yi was fast and ruthless, and the man was not any weaker.
The men at the side were still cheering.
Second Leader, kill him!
Kill him!
Heng Yi had always known that there was always someone better than him, so he never dared to be arrogant.
Especially those who had families. Other than on the battlefield, they were especially ruthless in killing their enemies.
In reality, he had also learned to pretend to be polite and kind to others.
Even if he didn’t like it, he wouldn’t show it.
He was much more tactful in his conduct and did not offend anyone if he could.
The old man on the roof shook his head slightly as he watched Heng Yi and the others tremble.
He jumped off the roof and kicked the door open.
There was only a scream in the room, and then a corpse was thrown out.
The old man followed closely behind.
It was finally quiet..
