Longevity begins with a dog

Chapter 137 Disaster Relief?It seems that there is no need
The power of snowballing is getting stronger and stronger.

Three days passed.

Ninety percent of the victims in Yongzhou have opened more or less acupoints.

The remaining [-]% are either completely unqualified, or the brain is too dull to learn.

For these people, if they have no hope, they put their hope on others.

Although I can't feel the feeling of being as strong as an ox and as light as a swallow, as long as everyone else learns martial arts, at least I won't starve to death due to food shortage.

In fact, this is exactly the case. As more and more people open the acupoints, and as these people open more and more acupoints, the consumption of food is decreasing at a speed visible to the naked eye every day.

In addition, new food was continuously recovered. Although it was not as exaggerated as the inexplicable harvest of [-] shi of corn for the first time, the harvest of various animals and plants continued to increase.

Coupled with the fact that the remaining vacant land around is also being intensively reclaimed and planted, if this continues, it is impossible for Yongzhou to experience a large number of sharp population drops.

The official road outside the city, the most peripheral area.

"Wang Mazi, how many apertures have you opened?"

A middle-aged middle-aged man spoke with pride in his tone, "I've already opened thirty, don't leave me behind too much."

"Sorry, I've already opened 32."

Wang Mazi raised his eyelids lazily, "You, Cai Laogen, want to show off in front of me, so you should practice more."

"Cut, it's just two more. See if I will surpass you tomorrow."

Cai Laogen replied unconvinced.

"If you exceed it, you will exceed it. It doesn't matter."

Wang Mazi leaned on the mound of dirt, his eyes blurred, "Being alive is better than anything else."

"..."

Cai Laogen's smug expression slowly dissipated, and finally he lay down, "Yes, it's good to be alive. When the grain grows next year, no matter how many holes it opens, we won't remember it anymore."

"You are very unwilling?"

Wang Mazi asked.

"In the beginning there was, and then it didn't."

Cai Laogen twitched the corners of his mouth, "It's not that he is open-minded, it's just that when he thinks that those who are second or third level enlightened will forget everything just like us, I feel much more comfortable."

"Little man."

Wang Mazi sneered.

"My villain, you just found out."

Cai Laogen didn't take it seriously, he paused and said: "Do you still remember before, because of a bug, I almost beat you to death... Do you hate me?"

"hatred?"

Wang Mazi said contemptuously, "If you just beat me up, if I want to hate you, those people who were beaten to death by me will turn into ghosts and come to claim my life?"

Cai Laogen sat up suddenly, and looked at Wang Mazi vigilantly, "Have you ever beaten anyone to death? Not even me..."

"They want to snatch my doll, can I not beat them to death?"

Wang Mazi said lightly.

snatch the child...

Cai Laogen's expression froze.

He has seen this kind of thing before, and almost participated in it.

I can't help it, I'm too hungry...

"and many more."

Cai Laogen looked around, "You said you beat those people to death, why didn't you see your baby?"

"I couldn't hold on to the disease, so I buried it."

Wang Mazi sighed, "Father, mother, baby, and mother-in-law are all buried in one place."

"All right……"

Cai Laogen suddenly felt a little lucky, glad that he was alone from the beginning.

Suddenly, Wang Mazi sat up and looked into the distance where no one was there.

"what happened?"

Cai Laogen looked over, but saw nothing.

"The ground is shaking."

Wang Mazi frowned, staring at the end of the official path.

"shock?"

Cai Laogen was puzzled.

"Like...like a lot of horses running."

As Wang Mazi said, he stood up abruptly from the ground again, his eyes widened: "Fire?!"

Cai Laogen also saw clearly now.

At the end of the official road, the dense flames swayed and suddenly pierced into the darkness.

"Space! It's a centaur! Lots and lots of centaur!"

Wang Mazi shouted.

Immediately, it attracted the attention of more people nearby.

"Space? Why are there so many people in the middle of the night?"

"Could it be... Could it be that the imperial court came to relieve the disaster?!"

"Disaster relief? It's possible! No, it must be like this!"

"The imperial court has come to provide relief! Come to provide relief!!!"

"..."

The movement spread quickly.

Cai Laogen wept with joy: "It's here, it's finally here..."

Only Wang Mazi looked calm and said, "There's nothing to be happy about."

"..."

Cai Laogen looked strange: "That's disaster relief, I must have brought a lot of food."

"right now we……"

Wang Mazi looked deeply at Cai Laogen, "Do you still need it?"

"This……"

Cai Laogen was taken aback for a moment, then reacted abruptly.

Yes.

Even if there is no disaster relief, I seem to be able to survive?
Thinking of this, the joy suddenly disappeared.

"It's really not necessary anymore."

Cai Laogen shook his head, then changed the subject, "However, it's good if you can eat enough."

Wang Mazi didn't speak any more.

He is the same as Cai Laogen now, but two months ago, he was different.

Two months ago, he cried for his father and mother, worshiped the world, and kowtowed to the ground, expecting and even begging for disaster relief from the imperial court.

But now...

The whole family died.

Disaster relief?

Sorry, I don't care anymore.

Wang Mazi retreated into the crowd expressionlessly.

There are many who have the same idea as him.

But more, like Cai Laogen at the beginning, crying with joy, hoarse.

After all, they have been looking forward to it for too long.

In this way, the people and horses in the distance kept approaching.

Sure enough, it was cavalry!

The mighty cavalry!
With the light of the fire, the bright golden armor can be seen from a distance.

People have it, and horses have it too.

The indescribable nobility and might were not concealed by the night.

The first thought that came to the refugees.

This is really the imperial court's disaster relief.

Otherwise, who can maintain such a noble demeanor in today's Yongzhou?

Three miles, two miles, one mile...

The refugees in the outer circle began to feel that something was wrong.

These cavalry don't seem to have any intention of slowing down?
When this thought crossed their minds, it was too late.

The distance of more than a hundred feet whizzed by.

The golden-armored cavalry didn't stop at all, and just followed the official path, charging straight towards the crowd.

In an instant, there was a scream.

Broken arms, broken legs, torn bodies, splashed blood.

The iron cavalry torrent forcibly crushed a bloody road and went straight to the city gate.

From beginning to end, these people on horseback did not make any sound.

Not even a word of reprimand.

To them, the refugees on the road seem to be no different from the weeds on the side of the road that cannot even reach food.

It was not until the ruins of the tower that the cavalry finally stopped.

A horse stepped out from among them, and seemed to be the leader of the army.

"Jiang Zhihong, hurry up and confess!"

"Jiang Zhihong, hurry up and confess!"

"..."

The sound waves spread out round and round, not much less powerful than when Jiang Zhihong was teaching martial arts.

"Stop shouting, I'm here."

A faint voice sounded, and Jiang Zhihong jumped onto the tip of the ruins.

"Jiang Zhihong, you are guilty!"

The cavalry leader asked sharply.

"Convicted?"

Jiang Zhihong chuckled, "May I ask what is the crime?"

As soon as these words came out, the leader's eyes turned cold.

"It seems that you don't intend to cooperate."

The leader chuckled, "Before this general left the capital, His Majesty gave two orders. If you cooperate, you will go back to Beijing for another trial. If you don't cooperate..."

"you are wrong."

Jiang Zhihong shook his head, "Your Majesty knows me as a human being. Since the news of Yongzhou has reached the capital, His Majesty will never give you two edicts. If you don't believe me, you can open them and have a look."

The general's expression froze.

He couldn't judge whether what Jiang Zhihong said was true or not, but now he didn't dare to open the silk script of 'cooperation'.

"In that case..."

The general narrowed his eyes, took out the silk book from his arms, and turned around to face the vast number of refugees.

The refugees heard such a sentence before they recovered from the grief and indignation of the cavalry for neglecting human lives.

"You can see that Jiang Zhihong is not a county magistrate at all, nor is he the censor of Zuodu, and he is not even a member of the imperial court!"

The infused words spread layer after layer, resounding through everyone's hearts.

Not a county magistrate?

Not Zuodu Censor?

Not even from the imperial court?

What do you mean?
People didn't react.

As for Jiang Zhihong's face, there was already a look of misery.

The general unfolded the silk script and recited it aloud.

"The imperial edict said!"

"The sinner, Jiang Zhihong, was formerly the censor of Zuodu, and later was the county magistrate of Fenggu County."

"Of course, these are all appearances!"

"The Xueyiwei found out that Jiang Zhihong's father is actually a traitor to the Taiping Dao!"

"His father used to do business in Gunzhou, so he often enslaved the people."

"Now Jiang Zhihong himself, at the time of the locust plague in Yongzhou, took advantage of the chaos to coerce refugees, and manipulated millions of people with the evil method of peace, with no regard for human life and heaven!"

"The relationship between the monarch and his ministers for decades is actually a far-reaching plan, and my heart hurts."

"Of course! People have feelings, but the laws of the country are ruthless!"

"Now the Metropolitan Procuratorate, Dali Temple, and the Ministry of Punishment jointly judged that Jiang Zhihong's actions are an unforgivable crime of treason!"

"I ordered Xue Rong, the commander-in-chief of Dingtianwei, to send troops to Yongzhou immediately to suppress the rebellion!"

"Besides, read the refugees who are bewitched by traitors, and if they surrender, they will not be killed."

"Jiang Zhihong, the thief leader, must..."

The general paused for a moment, turned around to look at Jiang Zhihong, and said slowly, "Fa-rectification on the spot!"

Local law?

Jiang Zhihong staggered.

It turns out that this natural disaster is really caused by His Majesty.

Your Majesty thinks that I have spoiled him...

Ha ha ha.

Jiang Zhihong smiled bitterly.

"I can take you away."

A small voice rang in the ear.

Jiang Zhihong recognized it as Xu Chong's voice.

go?
Where are you going?

Really join Taipingdao?
Jiang Zhihong shook his head.

At this time.

An old woman squeezed out from the crowd of refugees near the city gate.

"Fart the eighteen generations of your ancestors!!!"

A swear word with no technical content was just thrown in the face of General Jinjia.

Xue Rong froze suddenly, a little unbelievable, turned his head little by little, "Are you talking to me?"

"Did anyone fart besides you?"

The old woman's face was covered with stains, but the sarcasm was naked, "You said Mr. Jiang is a traitor and wants to lead us to rebel. Isn't that farting?"

"Master Jiang gives us food, drinks and cures us."

"He also taught us martial arts."

"Evil law? What evil law?"

"My wife only knows that practicing martial arts can keep us alive, and let us all survive!"

"You said, what are you doing if you are not farting?"

After finishing speaking, the old woman spat out a mouthful of thick phlegm towards General Jin Jia.

It's just that the distance is long and the strength is not enough.

The thick phlegm only fell on the horse's hoof, without staining the noble golden armor at all.

Knife light flashed.

The old woman's body froze.

First the head fell off.

Immediately afterwards, the body also fell to the ground.

And it wasn't until he fell to the ground that blood started gushing from his neck.

With the long knife pointing at the sky, Xue Rong roared: "Array!!!"
