"We were buying vegetables in the market when a group of bandits on horses rushed out of nowhere. When we passed by the market, they, they…"
"What happened to them?"
Liu Xi looked at He Xiong hesitantly,
"They took He Li away!"
Everyone was stunned, and the scene fell into silence.
He Xiong was completely dumbstruck, standing on the spot, unable to react.
"What happened? Xiao Xi, tell me the details."
Xi Beichen stood up immediately.
Liu Xi glanced at him and slowed down his speech. He organized his words and told him what had happened in detail.
"Are you saying that these people all have firearms?”
Chen Hexiang, Xi Beichen, and Lu Yourong's expressions all changed. They all stood up. Clearly, this news had shaken them quite badly. Xiao Lan glanced at He Xiong with sympathy. This group of people had mysterious origins and were definitely not good people. Everyone could practically imagine what kind of miserable treatment these women who were captured would suffer. He Xiong's sister was also probably in danger.
"Ah!"
At this moment, He Xiong seemed to have finally reacted and understood something.
His body trembled, and he let out a suppressed and miserable howl like a dying beast. His eyes turned blood-red, and his face was ferocious. He clenched his fists tightly, and his nails pierced deep into his palm. Blood dripped down from the gaps between his fingers.
All of a sudden, he knelt down and slammed his head against the green brick floor.
Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! bang
Everyone was still in a daze. He kowtowed more than ten times in a row.
Fine cracks appeared on the green brick floor. He raised his head. Blood mixed with tears made everyone's heart skip a beat. His face was covered in blood as he shouted in a heart-wrenching manner,
"Master Chen, please, please, save my sister, save her! If she was taken away by these beasts, she would not have a good ending! But I'm trash, I'm trash!”
"My sister works hard every day to sell vegetables in the market and subsidize the family. She can't even bear to wear a new piece of clothing.”
"She woke up early and worked day and night to support me in martial arts, but her brother was a good-for-nothing. He didn't put in any effort to cultivate all day. Now that she's in trouble, I can't save her. I beg you, Master Chen, I beg you!"
His sorrowful and incoherent voice reached everyone's ears. After saying that, He Xiong gritted his teeth and kowtowed to Xi Beichen and Lu Yourong.
"Senior Brother, Senior Sister! I'm begging you, I'm begging you, I'm a piece of trash, but you're all capable people. I'm not afraid of death. I'm afraid that I won't be able to save her even if I die. I'm begging you, save my sister! Save her!"
Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!
Again and again, the heavy knocking sound also fiercely knocked on the hearts of everyone present.
When Liu Xi and Xiao Lan saw He Xiong kowtowing like a madman, they immediately covered their mouths as tears instantly flowed down.
"He Xiong! What are you doing!"
"Junior Brother, get up!"
Chen Hexiang and Xi Beichen reacted and shouted at the same time, pulling He Xiong up. Xi Beichen said to Liu Xi,"
"Xiao Xi, go get He Xiong some medicine!”
He Xiong, who was pulled up, seemed to have lost all his soul. His eyes were dull, and his mouth was trembling slightly. No one knew what he was saying.
Behind the crowd, Yue Beixuan was still like a statue that couldn't speak. He stared coldly at the scene before him.
As he watched Liu Xi bandage He Xiong's wound, Xi Beichen asked,"
"Xiao Xi, what do the firearms in their hands look like?”
Liu Xi shook her head. She and Xiao Lan were far away, so she could only hear the sound of firearms. These bandits flashed past the entrance of the market, so she couldn't see them clearly.
Just as Xi Beichen was feeling a little disappointed, Yue Beixuan suddenly raised his head and said,"
"The firearms in their hands were only about the length of my forearm. They had to reload every time they fired.”
"Oh?"
Upon hearing Yue Beixuan's words, Xi Beichen's mind raced.
Unlike most ordinary martial artists who could only see firearms when they fought against the Qingtian New Dynasty, Xi Beichen, as a core disciple of the Zongxin School dojo, naturally had a lot more knowledge.
Moreover, unlike the barren border areas, there were very few firearms circulating in the Central Region. Most of them were prepared by nobles with high status for their relatives and friends who had no martial arts skills.
The few firearms circulating in the Northern Wastelands were all secretly copied by some craftsmen.
The Martial Arts Union had always abhorred martial artists 'reliance on firearms. They were deeply afraid that their martial arts heritage would rot from the roots, so they had always severely cracked down on the imitation and circulation of firearms in the new Qingtian Dynasty.
On this issue, both the reformists and the conservative faction had reached a consensus.
The huge difference in skill and craftsmanship made the power, range, and safety of these imitation firearms vastly different from the Qingtian New Dynasty firearms that Xi Beichen had seen collected by some wealthy families.
