The White-haired Queen

Mo the blacksmith sighed and said slowly: "The men in the village have only been away from home for more than a month, which is a short time. Moreover, their families can still receive some money every month to supplement the household expenses. Therefore, the villagers did not notice anything unusual, but instead took it for granted. It was only since I was also under surveillance that I gradually realized that the situation was unusual." His words revealed helplessness and bitterness, as if he had already seen through the vicissitudes of life.

After thinking for a while, Wen Lanyue asked, "Does the Northern Cang Kingdom know about this?" Mo Tiejiang paced back and forth while answering, "From what I see, they may know something about it. Otherwise, why would those officers and soldiers come to help? But it seems unlikely that they are fully aware of the situation. After all, this is equivalent to destroying their own future."

Wen Lanyue continued, "I will tell you the truth when I arrive at the Northern Cang Kingdom Court." Mo Tiejiang reminded, "We are under close surveillance at the moment, and many specific circumstances are difficult to ascertain. The owner of the building should act with caution."

Wen Lanyue reminded everyone: "You must take care of your own safety. The first priority is to ensure your own safety. As for other matters, I will try to solve them."

Mo the blacksmith asked: "Do you still want to make this tool?" He looked at Wen Lanyue with anticipation, as if hoping to get a positive answer.

Wen Lanyue nodded slightly to show her agreement and said, "If it is convenient and can be made, I would trouble you to make one for me." Her tone was calm and firm, revealing her trust in the blacksmith's craftsmanship.

Mo the blacksmith was delighted and quickly responded: "In that case, just leave the drawings with me for now. I will start making them when I have prepared the materials. But it may take some time, so please understand." After that, he carefully put away the drawings, as if it was an invaluable treasure.

However, at this moment, a noisy argument suddenly came from outside the door. A domineering male voice sounded: "You dare to stop me? Are you tired of living?" The voice was filled with undisguised arrogance and pride.

Jing Li snorted coldly and responded: "Just you? You are worthy of being so arrogant!" His voice was icy cold and chilling.

The man was obviously enraged and shouted, "What's wrong with me? Let me tell you, my father is the mayor here. Dealing with you is as easy as crushing an ant!" As he spoke, he tried to push away the person who was blocking him.

Jing Li's eyes flashed with disdain, and he said lightly: "Really? Then I'd like to learn from you." Before he finished speaking, he flashed and drew the sword from his waist in an instant. Then, a cold light flashed, and the sword rushed towards the opponent like lightning.

In the blink of an eye, there was a crisp metallic collision sound, and the sword landed steadily on the opponent's shoulder. The man's face turned pale, and he looked at Jing Li in horror, his body shaking uncontrollably. The arrogant and domineering demeanor disappeared without a trace, replaced by a face full of fear and despair.

The man was terrified, trembling all over, and begging for mercy: "Master, please spare my life! Master, please be magnanimous, please let me live!"

Jing Li raised the corners of his mouth slightly, sneered and said: "Oh? Turns out you are a despicable guy who only relies on other people's power to bully the weak. Get away from me!" Before he finished speaking, he swung his arm and pushed with his backhand. The man flew out like a kite with a broken string and fell heavily to the ground.

The man fell to the ground in a miserable state, unable to get up. He glared at his followers fiercely and shouted angrily, "You useless people, are you all blind? What are you still standing there for? Come over and help me up!"

Hearing the master's scolding, the followers were terrified and rushed forward to help him up. However, at this moment, two crisp "slap" sounds were heard. It turned out that the man was furious and slapped the two followers one by one, and cursed: "You stupid fools without eyes, can't you see that this young master is injured? You are so careless that you hurt this young master!"

Wen Lanyue gently pushed open the slightly quaint and old door in front of her, and then walked out slowly with light and steady steps. She looked at the person in front of her with a smile, with a childish look, and the aura of a little kid spoiled by adults, and said, "Wait a moment, please take us to meet your father."

After hearing this, the man opposite him turned his eyes slightly, thinking to himself: "Humph! It's not that easy to see my father! But since you are so persistent... then just come home with me, and I will naturally find a way to deal with you ignorant people! Hehehe..." Thinking of this, he couldn't help but smile slyly, and cast a meaningful look at a follower beside him. The follower immediately nodded as if he understood, indicating that he understood the master's intention.

Then, the child pretended to be calm and said to Wen Lanyue and others: "Well, my father happens to be at the farm today to handle business, so I will take you there to meet him." After that, he turned around and wanted to lead them forward.

Wen Lanyue shouted, "Wait, don't leave so quickly, answer a few questions for me first."

The man stopped and turned around and said, "What's the problem? Just speak up."

Wen Lanyue carefully examined the man in front of her. He was arrogant and rude. If he didn't look like a teenager, she would have wanted to kill him with a knife. She asked, "Just tell me first, what's your name and how old are you this year?"

The man patted his chest and said, "I will not change my name, my nickname is Ruirui, and I just turned fifteen this year."

Wen Lanyue sneered and said, "Oh, you are still young and you don't learn well. Tell me the truth. Did you wink at your follower just now and let him attack us later? Do you want to murder us?"

Rui Rui's neck stiffened, and she retorted, "He was the one who bullied me first, and put his sword on my shoulder. Can't I fight back and take revenge?"

Wen Lanyue waved at him, motioning him to come closer, then pointed at the shepherd next to him and said, "Come, come, take a good look at this shepherd. Do you think the people under your command can compare to him?"
