Chapter 167 Study

"Master Su, let's get started now that you've chosen!"

Behind Su Hao, a young man urged him on, his tone somewhat impatient.

Of all these workers, this guy took the longest to choose his workstation.

If it weren't for Master Lu's specific instructions that these blacksmiths shouldn't be touched for the time being, he would have already lost his patience!

"good!"

Seeing this, Su Hao smiled slightly and nodded in agreement.

They didn't pay attention to the young man's tone.

The young man was slightly taken aback when he saw Su Hao's friendly attitude.

He nodded in agreement, but did not leave. Instead, he remained standing at the entrance outside the workstation, observing Su Hao's movements.

Actually, he had noticed this young man from the beginning. Any blacksmith who was invited to work here must have some skills.

He also wanted to see just how skilled the young man was at forging.

Su Hao ignored him and started a fire on his own. He then checked the materials in the rack, picked out a few pieces of refined iron, threw them into the furnace, and started the bellows to forge them.

While he was working the bellows, he picked up a forged iron crossbow from the table and began to disassemble and study it on the forging table.

Before we knew it, half a day had passed.

Su Hao rubbed his eyes, looking at the furnace fire that was already burning bright red, and the refined iron he had heated thoroughly. He took out the refined iron, picked up the hammer, and began to forge it.

During this time, he would occasionally glance at the young man beside him out of the corner of his eye.

They discovered that the other person was still there.

I don't know if it was to learn martial arts or to be monitored by him.

Because others don't receive the same treatment as him, with someone specifically monitoring and following them.

He glanced at the few members of the Rice Gang who were starting to crawl out from the hidden sentry post outside, then ignored them.

Before we knew it, night had fallen.

The entire Bailitun area quieted down under the cover of night, becoming pitch black and serene.

Only the occasional passerby carrying a torch, and patrol teams from some gangs, passed by.

despair!

A pair of black cloth boots gently stepped on the snow-covered ground.

After leaving a light footprint, it darted more than ten meters away.

Ring ring ring —

Amidst the wind and snow, the jarring sound of bells echoed through the snowy night, sounding exceptionally pleasant.

The figure suddenly stopped, then turned and slipped away, disappearing back into the darkness in the blink of an eye.

"Someone's there! Be on alert!!"

As the bell rang, shouts of reprimands immediately followed!

Then streaks of light began to appear, instantly illuminating the street.

"Chase after them in that direction quickly!"

Several figures holding torches quickly got up and gave chase.

despair!

Using the black boots for leverage on the ground, he jumped onto the stone pier at the foot of the wall, flipped over the top of the wall, and then used the top of the wall for leverage again, instantly leaping over the opposite wall and landing in an abandoned courtyard.

Meanwhile, the barking of hunting dogs and the sound of chasing footsteps grew closer and closer behind them.

"He's a master! He's also very likely a skilled leg fighter!"

In the darkness, a man dressed in black held a torch and looked around at the footprints on the ground.

The footprints on the ground were found to be spaced about one every 5 meters.

The last one was already more than 10 meters away when it abruptly stopped, its whereabouts unknown.

"You can't fool me with that little trick!"

The man in black gave a cold snort, his gaze instantly locking onto the walls on either side.

Soon, the arrow found a very shallow footprint on the stone pier below the wall, almost completely covered by flying snow.

He handed the torch to another companion, and with two leaps, he stepped onto the stone pier and stood firmly on the top of the wall.

"and then?"

The man in the black outfit was slightly taken aback, looking down at the ground where there were only his own footprints.

I glanced at the snow on the other side of the wall again, but didn't find any more footprints.

He frowned in thought.

However, after careful observation, he still discovered some clues.

Because he found another, very faint, footprint on the top of the wall, like one blown away by wind and snow.

The footprints pointed directly at the opposite wall!

"Ha—what a childish trick!"

The man in the black outfit sneered, his gaze shifting to the opposite wall, but his body suddenly stiffened.

"No, don't—"

puff!

With a muffled thud, a black arrow pierced the man's brow, killing a level-three powerhouse instantly!

"Brother Zheng!"

The moment the man's body fell, another young man in black below also reacted. He cried out in alarm and was about to draw the long sword from his waist.

puff!

But his reaction was too slow; the arrow had already arrived and pierced his skull!

His eyes widened in disbelief as he watched the man in black leap down from the wall before collapsing to the ground, his pupils still brimming with the resentment and fear of his impending death.

"Why risk your life for just a few dozen taels of silver a month?"

Su Hao stood beside the two corpses, shaking his head helplessly.

He left the rice gang's headquarters without permission tonight because he wanted to check out the terrain of Bailitun to facilitate future actions.

Who would have thought that these people were so heavily guarded? He triggered the alarm of the string-like mechanism hidden on the snow-covered wall.

This eventually alarmed everyone in the entire rice gang's base, who wanted to arrest him and bring him back.

Now that Su Hao has come out, he naturally won't go back. He might as well go all the way and leave tonight.

As for Su Hao, who knows the truth, he left without the consent of the Mi Gang. What kind of punishment will he face? Nobody knows.

They were relentlessly pursued in Bailitun. Su Hao lost his temper, especially since these people were almost all murderers.

He had no reason to continue showing mercy.

Find an opportunity and strike decisively.

Therefore, along the way, whenever he made a move, he would target vital points.

go!

Su Hao mentally shouted, then stood up and took a few steps back.

Doo doo doo!!

But the next second, two black arrows shot over and firmly embedded themselves in the spot where he had just been standing!

"Hehe, Master Su, out of so many people, why did you become the exception?"

On the top of the wall, two figures looked down at the black-clad figure standing in the wind and snow below.

It turned out to be Yang Lu and Lu Kun.

"Sorry, I'm not interested in your gang's shady dealings, so we've always kept to ourselves. What's this talk of an exception?"

Beneath his black robe, Su Hao spoke calmly.

His whereabouts had been exposed, so Yang Lu and the others must have known about it immediately before they began to plan the capture operation.

I just didn't expect them to track me down so quickly.

Su Hao believed that the other party must have some unknown special tracking methods.

"Hehe—is that so? That's a real pity. Yanshan City will lose another promising young talent tonight."

Yang Lu shook his head and sighed softly, his tone full of coldness and regret.

"I'm giving you one more chance. If you go back now, perhaps with your talent, you can still achieve something by staying with the Rice Gang. But if you continue to resist, you'll only be courting death!"

Yang Lu said coldly, and with a sudden wave of his hand, more than a dozen figures holding heavy iron crossbows appeared on the walls on both sides, aiming at Su Hao below.
