Gained an acupuncture point upgrade system at the beginning

Originally, the house was near the city wall, so A Niu naturally sensed the surrounding movement outside, but the food in the house was not finished yet, so he was not in the mood to take care of other things.

A Niu felt like his body was a bottomless pit, no matter how many things he put in, he couldn't fill it up. Seeing that half of the things he brought back had gone down, he had no intention of continuing to eat.

Anyway, if you can't eat enough or starve to death, let's just do it!

Seeing that Ah Niu stopped eating, Xiao Lian also wiped her sweat.

If this continues, I will be exhausted just by cooking.

However, after the past few days of prosperity, Xiao Lian has also grown flesh, and she is no longer that weak and yellow-haired girl.

The little girl naturally also heard those unusual sounds outside the city wall, but she couldn't help but calm down when she heard the still steady beating sound coming from the front yard.

It's a pity that such a peaceful time didn't last long. After a while, a group of cavalry stopped at the entrance of the alley.

I just heard from some people that there is a new blacksmith shop opened in the alley deep in the street.

Since Qianhu said that he would bring out all the people, especially the craftsmen, this place must not be missed.

However, although such a small alley could accommodate a carriage, if one rode in and was ambushed, there would be no room to turn around.

Hearing the sound of knocking in his ears, the captain gestured behind him, and the four cavalry dismounted and walked inside.

In the open door, a six-foot-tall man was swinging a sledgehammer in his hand, striking the fiery red iron block on the anvil again and again, causing sparks to radiate everywhere.

This strength...

The four heavy cavalrymen, who were still somewhat arrogant, couldn't help swallowing, but their hands had already touched the sabers at their waists.

A Niu raised his head to look at the few people, put down his things and walked out of the shed.

"Do you guys need anything?"

When the captain at the entrance of the alley saw a six-foot-tall man coming out of the door, he probably knew that he had found the person Qianhu was looking for.

All he saw was that the girl following behind frowned.

"Take people to follow."

Two thousand households, Wei Cheng and Yuan Bo, sat on horseback and stood by the city gate, watching the people coming out of the city.

At this time, each of these people's faces were ashes, like lambs waiting to be slaughtered.Everyone complained incessantly in their hearts. At first, they thought it was just a change of parent officer, but now this posture is afraid that they will massacre the city!

Thinking of this, how many people knelt on the ground and couldn't get up, but then followed the crowd out obediently under the whip.

The county magistrate who had just escaped from the tower had already been captured by his subordinates. At this time, he was standing beside the two thousand households in disheveled clothes, reporting the situation in Jingqi County.

"My county has a permanent population of more than [-], and the people in the surrounding counties total more than [-]..."

Sitting on the horse, Wei Cheng interrupted him impatiently.

"Is there any famous blacksmith in your county?"

The county magistrate, who was about to be scared out of his wits, didn't react for a while when he heard this, and then quickly replied.

"There are no rich mines near this county. Even if some farm tools are made, merchants sell them from outside. There are a few blacksmith shops in the county, but they are only used by ordinary people for sewing.

There are a few craftsmen in the construction office of the county government, but they are all old people, and I haven't heard of any famous craftsmen. "

Feeling the pressure from the steed in front of him, the county magistrate bent even harder, but he still spoke word by word.

"If the general doesn't believe it, there is a roster in my county government office where I can check the names one by one."

Yuan Bo shook his head lightly. In this situation, no one would die for a craftsman.

Seeing that the flow of people at the gate of the city was getting less and less, the two couldn't help frowning.

The situation near the battlefield was chaotic, not to mention ordinary people, even ordinary bandits were fleeing in fear of being wiped out by the established army.

Yuan Bo has been in the army for many years, not to mention cities with few people, it is not uncommon for them to flee ahead of time and leave empty.

It's just that this time the two of them crossed the border with heavy troops privately without receiving orders, in order to find the craftsman who caused heavy casualties to the heavy cavalry under them.

The heavy cavalry not only cost a lot to set up, but also require a lot of resources for daily maintenance. If they withdraw directly that day, they will be fine, but once they come in, they will have to loot.

Naturally, the food and grass in the city that were too late to be removed would not be let go, but this little thing could not erase the guilt of the two of them.

"How many people haven't come back?"

Seeing Wei Cheng's uneasy face, Yuan Bo asked the people around him out of words.

"Reporting to Qianhu, there are more than ten people, about two or three small teams."

"Well, wait a minute!"

Not long after, a group of cavalry escorted a carriage and came galloping.

Others are fine, but the figure of the person driving the carriage is a bit strange.

Although he is six feet tall, he is as skinny as a stick. Fortunately, his frame is big enough, otherwise he wouldn't even be able to hold up his clothes.

The two thousand households rode their horses to meet him at the same time.

The leading captain naturally had sharp eyesight, leading the team to withdraw to one side.

"To two thousand households, this man is a craftsman found in a remote place."

Then he handed over the few kitchen knives he brought back with him.

The two Qianhu knew they were looking for the right person when they saw the pattern on the knife body. When their eyes were on the big man sitting motionless in front of the horse at the same time, they glanced at each other inadvertently.
