Iron Snow Clouds

Chapter 699 (six hundred and ninety-nine) drawn out

"This task was given to you because the clan leader had other things to do and didn't have time to do it himself, right?" Tie Hongyan said.

Ran Xianke said, "Yes."

"You must be given a task first before you do it."

"Of course...of course."

"Do you remember when the patriarch gave you the task?" Tie Hongyan asked.

Ran Xianke thought: Could it be that the acting patriarch even knew the time when the patriarch gave me the task? The time left for the patriarch to give me this task is indeed very short, what should I do?
He nodded hurriedly and said, "I remember... Actually... Actually it didn't take that long, but... But I don't know if it's because I was so nervous because it was my first time doing this, but my sense of time seems to be off. I don't know what's going on."

Tie Hongyan asked: "When I came here just now, you were pointing your sword at the throat of that blue-armored man, and I heard her say 'I don't know!' What did you ask her before that?"

Ran Xianke said, "I asked her if she knew what crime she had committed."

Tie Hongyan suddenly moved towards the two blue-armored men, pulled out the cloth stuffed in their mouths, and asked the man whose throat Ran Xianke had pointed at before: "Tell me, is what he said true?"

The man in blue armor coughed continuously, and then said, "No! He has been lying to you!"

Ran Xianke was so anxious that he shouted to the man in blue armor, "You are almost dead, but you are still not honest!"

Tie Hongyan asked the other blue-armored man, "What do you think?"

The blue-armored man said, "He was lying to you!" The blue-armored man who had been pointed a sword at his throat by Ran Xianke said, "He just scolded the chief of the Tiecang tribe, saying that he had pushed such a disgusting task of dealing with the blue-armored people to him, and then he pointed a sword at my throat and asked me if I knew that he was doing this on behalf of the chief and that his identity when he did this was equivalent to that of the chief. Of course I didn't know!"

Beads of sweat dripped down Ran Xianke's forehead. He said to Tie Hongyan, "Acting clan leader, don't listen to their rumors! I will deal with them all now!" As he said that, he was about to use his sword to stab the man in blue armor who had been pointed at the throat by him.

Tie Hongyan shouted, "Stop! You want to silence me quickly, right?"

Ran Xianke was so frightened that he stopped immediately and the sword in his hand fell to the ground.

He said: "I really...I was really wronged! Acting Chief, please don't believe the words of the two blue-armored criminals!"

Tie Hongyan asked the two blue-armored men, "There should be three people. Has the other one been burned to death by him?"

Neither of them said anything.

Tie Hongyan asked: "You won't answer at all?"

The blue-armored man who had been pointed at the throat by Ran Xianke said, "You are all Tiecang people. You only believe his words and not mine. It's useless for me to say anything. I'm going to be killed anyway."

Tie Hongyan said: "How can you be sure that I don't believe you when you haven't answered yet?"

The blue-armored man said, "It's because I am a blue-armored man, born a blue-armored man! In fact, we blue-armored people are not regarded as human beings by you. Can you believe the words of an 'uninformed and lowly blue-armored man'? You Tiecang people prohibit us from receiving certain educations because you are afraid that we will know too much and awaken! We are usually called 'uninformed and lowly blue-armored people' by you, but we are guilty of reading a book and you will kill us! On the one hand, you say we are ignorant, and on the other hand, you are afraid that we may have knowledge and prevent us from gaining knowledge!"
