Chapter 699 (six hundred and ninety-nine) drawn out
"Is this task given to you because the clan leader has other things to do and doesn't have time to do it himself?" Tie Hongyan said.
Ran Xianke said: "Yes."
"I must give you a task before you do it."
"Of course...of course."
"Do you still remember when the clan leader gave you the task?" Tie Hongyan asked.
Ran Xianke thought: Does the acting patriarch even know the time when the patriarch assigned me the task? The task assigned to me by the clan leader is indeed very short, what should I do?
He nodded hurriedly and said: "Remember...actually...it didn't take long, but...I don't know if it's because I was very nervous about doing this kind of thing for the first time. It doesn’t feel right. I don’t know what’s going on.”
Tie Hongyan asked: "When I came just now, you were pointing your sword at the blue-armored man's throat. I heard her say 'I don't know!' What did you ask her before?"
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 all the cloth gagged in their mouths, and asked the person whose throat was pointed at by Ran Xianke 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 and you are still not being honest!"
Tie Hongyan asked another man in blue armor: "What do you think?"
The blue-armored man said: "He was lying to you!" The blue-armored man who had a sword pointed at his throat by Ran Xianke said: "He just scolded the leader of the Tiecang tribe for dealing with such a disgusting task for the blue-armored man. He actually pushed me to do it, and then pointed a sword at my throat and asked me if I knew that he was doing this on behalf of the clan leader. When he did this, his status was equivalent to that of the clan leader. Of course I didn't know!"
The sweat on Ran Xianke's forehead fell one drop after another. He said to Tie Hongyan: "Clan Chief Dai, don't listen to their rumors! I will deal with them all right now!" As he said that, he was about to stab that man with his sword. The man in blue armor whom he had pointed at his throat with a sword before.
Tie Hongyan shouted: "Stop! You want to silence me quickly, don't you?"
Ran Xianke was so frightened that he immediately stopped and dropped the sword in his hand.
He said: "I really... really was wronged! Acting patriarch, please don't believe the words of the two blue-armored criminals!"
Tie Hongyan asked the two blue-armored men: "There should be three of them, but has the other one been burned to death by him?"
Neither of them made a sound.
Tie Hongyan said: "You don't even answer?"
The man in blue armor who was pointed at the throat by Ran Xianke said: "You are all Tiecang people. You will only believe his words and not mine at all. What I said is in vain. I will be killed anyway." ”
Tie Hongyan said: "How can you be sure that I don't believe you before you answer?"
The blue-armored person said: "Just because I am a blue-armored person, I was born a blue-armored person! In fact, we blue-armored people are not regarded as human beings at all by you. You may believe what an 'inexperienced and low-level blue-armored person' said. Are you saying that? You Tiecang people prohibit us from receiving certain educations because you are afraid that we will know too much, and you are afraid that we will awaken! If we are guilty, we will be killed by you! While you are saying that we are ignorant, you are afraid that we are knowledgeable and will prevent us from gaining knowledge!”
