Longevity begins with a dog

Chapter 140 Jiang Zhihong's Last Words
"——What is Martial Arts?"

Following Ding Daying's cry-ridden roar, all the refugees who heard the words were stunned for a moment.

After a while, they remembered everything.

Thinking of martial arts, Jiang Zhihong who taught them martial arts, and Jiang Zhihong's death.

It turned out that the skull belonged to none other than Jiang Zhihong!

With red eyes, these people took a deep look at Ding Daying standing under the ruins, and then took a deep look at the skull above the ruins, then turned around and faced the vast crowd, screaming hoarsely.

"——What is Martial Arts!!!"

"——What is Martial Arts!!!"

"..."

Shouts come and go.

Everyone who regained their memory made the same choice—to yell this sentence to more people, what Jiang Zhihong would yell at them every day.

Howling and shaking the sky.

Until this moment, Xu Chong finally understood everything.

Why didn't he feel that these people had a way out before?
Because, once Jiang Zhihong died, no one would wake up the refugees' memories of martial arts.

Without the memory of martial arts, no matter how many acupuncture points are opened, these people can only be ordinary people.

Not to mention infinite strength, even the most basic point of eating less and living more, they no longer have it.

Because the strength is completely hidden in the acupoints, and there is no effect of bigu.

The remaining food is not enough to tide over the difficulties.

unless.

Someone continued to play the role of Jiang Zhihong, responsible for waking up these refugees every day.

But the question is, so what if someone does it?
The imperial court will continue to send people to kill people.

Therefore, Jiang Zhihong did not kill Xue Rong.

In other words, his purpose from the beginning was not to kill Xue Rong at all!
All he had to do was to tell Xue Rong his guess, which aroused Xue Rong's suspicion of Emperor Qing, and then he had to choose to delay the court's receipt of the news as much as possible.

'I advise you to kill your subordinates, try your best to delay the time, and take this opportunity to escape to Taiping Road'.

Is this extra time really for Xue Rong to escape to Taiping Road?
No.

It is to give these millions of refugees the last chance to survive!

Because, Jiang Zhihong knew a long time ago that someone would stand up and continue what he failed to complete.

Moreover, this person is not himself.

To be honest, even now, Xu Chong is not sure whether he will take a huge risk and come up with the sentence "what is martial arts".

Therefore, Jiang Zhihong should know that there are still people with official status among the refugees.

For example, this Ding Daying, like the other seven, chose to stand under the ruins like Ding Daying, and they called themselves rebels.

Are they rebels?

No.

As early as several months ago, the people in Taipingdao had all evacuated.

This is what Mrs. Hua said in person.

Not surprisingly, these eight people, including Ding Daying, are all local classics of Yongzhou!

Haven't had time to save enough contributions to embark on the classic history of martial arts!
They did not have the strength to defend themselves. Although they survived by chance, they could only choose to come to Fenggu County to avoid disaster like other refugees.

After experiencing all this with many refugees, they were finally moved by Jiang Zhihong's words and deeds and chose to stand up.

Then why do they say that they are Taipingdao?
Perhaps, it is because he knows what will happen to him.

Or maybe, he was complaining about Jiang Zhihong.

No matter which one it is, this proves another brilliant stroke of Jiang Zhihong.

Unfortunately, it is also a must.

Xu Chong came to the top of the city in a flash, and poured his energy into the Cloud Piercing Order.

"It turns out that you really are still in Yongzhou."

Dou Tianyuan pushed the door out and sighed.

Just after saying this sentence, he was shocked by the "what is martial arts" of the mountain roaring and tsunami.

"Sure enough, it's Yongzhou Buwu."

Dou Tianyuan's expression turned serious, and he said, "Where's Old Jiang? Is he alive, or has he already..."

"Well, that's the beach."

Xu Chong stood at the entrance of the city and pointed down.

"..."

Dou Tianyuan trembled all over, and lowered his head bit by bit.

The moment he saw the skull and the pile of minced meat, his pupils suddenly shrank into needlepoints.

"The whole body was not left for him???"

Dou Tianyuan's face trembled, his whole body gushing with murderous intent, "This Xue Rong..."

"not that simple."

Xu Chong shook his head, his tone was low: "Let me tell you from the beginning..."

In this way, Xu Chong slowly told what he saw and heard after he separated himself from the blood-clothed guards.

Including the tragic situation along the way, including the changes in words and deeds of refugees due to deepening hunger, including Jiang Zhihong's determination from persistence to despair, and then to resoluteness after guessing the truth.

And at the last moment of life, sowed the seeds of hope.

Dou Tianyuan listened silently, closed his eyes at some point, Xu Chong didn't open them after he finished speaking.

"I heard someone say a word once."

Xu Chong continued on his own, "The person who holds the salary for everyone should not be allowed to freeze to death in the wind and snow... If the person who holds the salary has already frozen to death, what should I do?"

"..."

Dou Tianyuan opened his eyes, his eyes were full of bitterness, "You want to betray the imperial court and join the Taiping Dao completely?"

"You think too much, I'm not so impulsive."

Xu Chong smiled, and pointed to the eight people standing in front of the ruins: "Those who hold the salary will freeze to death, and then everyone will rise up, and all will hold the salary."

"them……"

Dou Tianyuan let out a breath slowly, seemingly admiring, but also regretting, "It's all good."

"Yeah, it's all good."

Xu Chong nodded, and changed the topic: "How long can Xue Rong delay?"

"The shortest is ten days, and the longest is one month."

Dou Tianyuan's expression became solemn, "No matter what, the beginning of spring will not be delayed."

"Is that so..."

Xu Chong narrowed his eyes.

If the spring cannot be delayed, it means that the winter rice will not be able to mature.

This is the most critical question.

"If you want the Hua family to send someone to do this, I advise you not to hope."

Dou Tianyuan guessed Xu Chong's thoughts, shook his head and said: "Indeed, after the Taipingdao people are unblocked, they can play the role of awakening the memory of the refugees, and with your relationship with the Hua family, it is easy for them to send a few dead soldiers." loose."

"But the question is, with this time, what kind of state will the imperial court come to?"

"Well, the realm is not important, the important thing is, will the people who come back from the court just kill someone and leave?"

Before the words finished, Xu Chong's complexion turned ugly.

Yes, why didn't I think of it?
If the imperial court sends someone again, they will definitely not leave so easily.

Even if there is no accident, they will evacuate these refugees and stay in Yongzhou for surveillance.

"It's not that I don't want to help you, but that I don't have the ability."

Dou Tianyuan sighed, "The general office is complicated, and there are not many people I can fully trust."

"In that case."

Xu Chong squinted his eyes, and the light flickered, "Arrange me to enter the prison, the prison is clean."

Dou Tianyuan's heart sank.

He instinctively thought that Xu Chong was disheartened and planned to imprison himself in imperial prison.

"Actually, it doesn't have to be like this..."

Dou Tianyuan looked at Xu Chong deeply, "There may be other ways to do this."

"Ok?"

Xu Chong was taken aback for a moment, then turned his head in astonishment.

"I can't say specifically."

Dou Tianyuan shook his head, "If you don't believe me, it's up to you if you really want to stay in the prison."

"Is that so..."

Xu Chong was thoughtful.

The two said a few more words, and Dou Tianyuan pushed the door open and left.

Xu Chong didn't move, just stood quietly on the top of the wall.

After waiting until late at night, the order inside and outside the county was finally completely restored, and the eight people discussed new methods, including how to awaken everyone's memory more efficiently, how to maintain the existing food distribution system, how to take turns leading the team to find new food, etc. wait.

The seeds that Jiang Zhihong sowed sprouted just like that.

Xu Chongyin's spirit left his body, wrapped up his body and left.

Yinshen's speed was very fast, and it didn't take long to find the Golden Armored Buddha who was sleeping on the side of the road.

These people took off their helmets, eating exquisite pastries and drinking fine wine.

Only Xue Rong sat a little far away, looking at his subordinates with flickering eyes.

He is hesitating.

He hesitated whether to kill these subordinates and flee to Taiping Road as Jiang Zhihong said.

To be honest, with the strength of the six layers of cleansing, he didn't doubt whether the Taipingdao would open the door to him.

Even, he thinks he can get a good position in Taiping Road.

The problem is, he's not alone.

In the distant capital, he still has a wife and children.

If he joins Taipingdao, he will be fine, what about his wife and children?
Xue Rong struggled back and forth in his heart, he didn't dare to bet that Emperor Qing would let him go, and he didn't want to lose his wife and children for nothing.

At this time, everyone was afraid of being completely dispelled by the alcohol, and they all started chatting.

"Then Jiang Zhihong really deserved his death, and dared to publicly teach martial arts..."

"Isn't that right? It's good to retire and return home. If you want to be a county magistrate, you should be a county magistrate. What does this natural disaster have to do with him? Can it hurt him at all? Just make it like this."

"Hey, speaking of which, why did the imperial court not provide disaster relief for so long?"

"Could it be like what Jiang Zhihong said...the court deliberately wanted to kill people from Yongzhou?"

"How is it possible, are you stupid?"

"I just said that..."

"However, I heard that it was done by Taipingdao."

"Taiping Road? What do you mean?"

"I heard that the Taiping Road robbed granaries in various places, not only in Yongzhou, but also in twelve other provinces."

"Crazy? There are so many granaries, how can there be so many handcarts transported away on Taiping Road? It's just nonsense."

"I just said that it was robbed, but I didn't say that it was robbed... Most of the granary was burned down. His Majesty was furious because of this, and Long Yan dismissed many local officials."

"Uh... why did Taipingdao do this? Burning food is a bit thankless, right?"

"Nonsense, what else can it be? Isn't it just to prevent the court from delivering food so that Jiang Zhihong can rebel here?"

"So...it seems to make sense."

"Taiping Dao this time, it's really a big deal..."

"Fortunately, Xue Yiwei found out in time, otherwise, if he is really allowed to succeed, millions of people will join the Taiping Dao... No, millions of warriors will join the Taiping Dao!"

"hiss--"

"..."

A group of cavalrymen were terrified, and then rejoiced.

Suddenly, the wind howled.

Xue Rong appeared next to the person with the gossip, "Where did you hear what you just said?"

The subordinate was taken aback, and quickly replied: "One of my subordinates has a distant cousin who works in the official department. Before leaving, he drank with the villain..."

"Are you sure what he said is true?"

Xue Rong narrowed his eyes.

"Don't worry, my lord."

The subordinate patted his chest, "This subordinate has known that cousin for a long time, so I can guarantee that he is definitely not a nonsense person."

"..."

Xue Rong stared at his subordinates for a while, then suddenly burst out laughing: "Hahaha, yes, yes! You are a good cousin, I have a chance to introduce you, hahahaha."

"Thank you, my lord, for your appreciation!"

The subordinates were excited.

More than [-] cavalrymen under Xue Rong survived.

In Yinshen's field of vision, these people originally had more red light than white light.

If it develops normally, most likely Xue Rong will still choose to make a move.

But now.

These red lights are fading fast!
