Chapter 305 - Heavenly Forging City
”Retreat!”
A burst of mocking laughter came from the front of the smithy, and the next thing that entered his ears was the screams of the horses before they died. The hawk-nosed man's face turned even more unsightly, and he gnashed his teeth as he let out a low growl.
”General, they came out.” A young man in front of the blacksmith shop hurriedly said.
”Brothers, don't stop them! Let them go!”
Tang Xiong laughed out loud. The ground around him was already littered with the corpses of horses. The air was filled with the thick smell of blood. All of the horses that the group had ridden had been slaughtered.
Upon hearing Tang Xiong's words, the soldiers who had wanted to intercept him were even more astonished.
Those people were obviously trying to assassinate Tang Huan.
Everyone originally thought that Tang Xiong wanted to catch a turtle in a jar after letting them in. After all, with Tang Huan's strength, those people wouldn't be able to kill him in a short while. However, he had not expected that Tang Xiong would not give the order to attack after those people had barged into the blacksmith's shop.
Now that those people had come out and Tang Xiong actually wanted to let them go, was the Lord Thousand Generals confused?
As they watched the twenty people run away, everyone gathered in front of the blacksmith's shop, looking anxious and furious. Many of them had discontented expressions on their faces.
”Why do you think this guy came out so quickly?” Tang Xiong didn't mind and laughed loudly.
”Why?” Everyone was startled, but they were also extremely suspicious. Those people had just rushed in and jumped over the wall not long after. There were no sounds of fighting coming from within. In such a short amount of time, even a Martial Lord of the eighth step would probably not be able to kill Tang Huan.
”Because Brother Tang Huan is not here at all.”
Tang Xiong laughed, ”On the morning of the second day after we forged that weapon, Brother Tang Huan had already left Furious Waves City and headed towards Heavenly Forging City.”
When he said this, the surrounding people were all dumbfounded, staring at each other in disbelief.
”How could this be? Lord Thousand Generals, in the past few days, you have been sending in a lot of food every day.” An armored man said.
”All of the food has been eaten by this general.” Tang Xiong patted his stomach as he smiled complacently.
”Every night, there's a light inside.” another young man shouted.
”The lights in there have never been extinguished. When this general went in to deliver the food, I also added some lamp oil.”
Tang Xiong laughed even more complacently, ”Staying here for a few more days was originally just to cover for the Tang Family brothers. I never thought that a bunch of idiots like them would actually come out, laughing to death for this general. ”Haha, it was this general who decided on this brilliant plan. What do you think of it, brothers?”
”According to what the Tang Huan brothers said, this is Ming Xiu or some kind of trestle, or some sort of secret transportation … Damn it, no matter what, everyone just knows that Brother Tang Huan is almost at Heavenly Forging City now. Everyone has been on guard for so many days, it's just to get a good night's sleep. ”
”Those fellows are all Stage Seven Martial Master. There is no need for us to risk our lives against them. Leave things that fight against them to the experts of the Divine Weapon Pavilion. ”
”...”
Everyone looked at each other in dismay. When they saw Tang Xiong's complacent appearance, they were even more speechless. This kind of plan was very common, okay?
