Longevity begins with a dog

Chapter 22 The Rumor Begins!Is this martial arts?

ninth day.

The three yamen servants lined up side by side, patrolling along the established route.

One of them pursed his lips tightly, his brows were furrowed, and his expression was very strange.

After a long while, a companion finally couldn't help it, and said, "Lao Li, I saw you in such a ghostly manner this morning, as if your parents were dead, what's the matter?"

"Yes, Lao Li, if you have something to do, talk about it, and if you feel uncomfortable, find someone to replace it. Who are you going to show such a bad face to?"

The other person was also not in a good mood.

"...Hey, I'm sorry for the two brothers, I'm really in a panic."

Lao Li sighed, looking downcast.

The two companions looked at each other, and they thought of one thing by coincidence, and felt pity in their hearts.

"Well, Lao Li, what should I say about this matter, anyway, the children are already so old, so let's get on with it."

"Yes, yes, my sister-in-law has done a lot of good for you in running the family for so many years, so please forgive her this time, just take it easy."

"Sister-in-law...Your horse-riding dogs can't spit out ivory! Believe it or not..."

Old Li was so angry that he cursed loudly, but he suddenly lost his temper in the middle of cursing, "Forget it, what are you talking about, I don't know how many days we can live."

As soon as these words came out, the two companions were shocked at the same time.

"What do you mean?"

"Speak clearly, what do you mean you don't know how many days you can live?"

"This…"

Lao Li looked around, and immediately lowered his voice, "Do you know who we are hunting? They are rebels! Rebels from Taipingdao!"

"I know the traitor, what is Taipingdao?"

"I have a little impression... I heard from people who escaped from the disaster that Taipingdao is the kind of person who knows martial arts in the storybook. One person can kill 1 people... The massacre of the city in the south a few years ago seems to be done by Taipingdao."

"Oh, martial arts master? Wrong! That's called martial arts!"

Lao Li's face turned pale, "You forgot? When the Youde Bookstore was sealed, the stone lion Zhou Zhuzhu, who weighed several hundred kilograms, flew out with one kick. Can normal people have such great strength? This is actually martial arts. .”

"It... seems... I remembered it! I was by Master Zhou's side at that time!"

"I remembered it too! There is indeed such a thing..."

"Strange... how could I forget such a thing?"

"Martial arts, is this martial arts?"

With Lao Li's pointed mention, the memories of the two were quickly recovered, and their expressions became extremely shocked.

"In short, the rebels of Taiping Dao are martial arts experts, and they are far stronger than Master Zhou."

Lao Li added a sentence.

"Wait, I believe when you say that Taipingdao is a rebel, and I also believe that rebels are martial arts experts, but you say we are arresting rebels? Isn't it the army's job to catch rebels?"

"Yeah, don't make up such a big thing."

"Edit?"

Old Li smiled coldly, "Many brothers in our class have relatives who work in the sixth room, and the news came from them... Hey, it is said that the arrest order was personally issued by the big man of the Bloody Guard, and he was also required to be captured alive. Woolen cloth."

"The blood-clothed guards are here?! If you say that...it should be true..."

"Wait, capture alive?!"

One of the companions noticed the important point and exclaimed, "A master Zhou can put us all on the ground, so we can catch a stronger one? Still alive?! Isn't this sending us to death?"

"Oh, don't guess, this is sending you to death!"

"Even if tens of thousands of people in Canglong County stretched out their necks to be chopped off, the rebels must be laid down. These are the words of that great man."

"I don't want to believe it, but I have to."

Lao Li looked sad, "I have asked Lao Fang's team to take the suicide note back, and they will pass by my house today."

The two companions were silent.

After a long while, one of them asked unwillingly: "What about the county lord? Doesn't he say a word for the big guy for such an obvious death job?"

"Hehe, him? After so many days of searching, do you think he has ever stepped out of the county office? And that Zhou Ze, both of them are eggless cowards. Knowing that the rebels are powerful, they hide faster than anyone else."

Lao Li cursed disdainfully, and his expression became a little complicated: "Only Mr. Xu, in order to give us more chances to survive, insisted on contradicting the county magistrate, and asked for shields and armor for us. Lead a team to investigate in person, doing a job that is far more dangerous than ours."

"...I used to call him a sour scholar and fake morality, I...I'm really not a thing."

"Hehe, we have been with the county magistrate for almost six years, and when something goes wrong, Mr. Xu is the only one who is willing to stand up for us..."

"Don't think that we are very majestic in the eyes of the villagers, but the only one who really regards us as human beings is Mr. Xu."

Old Li sighed quietly, "The big man only gave him ten days, and today is the ninth day. I see, tomorrow at the latest, we will be forced to take our lives to fill that traitor."

"..."

The three were silent at the same time.

As the lowest-level officials, they knew that they had no room for resistance.

Any crime can make their children and grandchildren forever imprisoned.

Instead of resisting, it is better to accept fate and gamble on luck.

If you're lucky, someone else will die, but if you're not lucky, at least your wife and children will survive.

As for the pension, it was distributed to those who survived, and they never expected such a thing.

The three of them stopped talking and continued to patrol in despair and unwillingness.

Until passing by a street corner, the yamen servant standing there suddenly beckoned.

"Old bastard Yang? What did he ask us to do?"

"I don't know. He is on the isolation line and cannot move. Let's go and have a look."

The three stepped closer.

"Old Li, you all know the matter, right?"

Old gangster Yang didn't talk nonsense, and said straight to the point, "My brothers here have agreed, please Liu Er go to Mr. Xu, and ask him to find a way for us to survive."

"Master Xu? Can he do something?"

Old Li was a little taken aback.

"do not know."

Old Man Yang shook his head, "Anyway, I don't want to die. If I die, what will happen to the orphans and widows at home? The only thing I can count on now is Mr. Xu."

"You don't want to die, do I want to die? Who doesn't have a wife and children at home?"

Old Li gritted his teeth, exchanged glances with his companions, and nodded fiercely, "Counting the three of us, as long as we can survive, we will do whatever Master Xu says!"

"Okay, if there is a reply from your lord, I will ask someone to bring you a message."

After a short conversation, the two parties connected in this way.

It wasn't just Yang Laohun and Lao Li, the same scene happened in various places in Canglong County on the same day.

And all those who have heard the 'gospel news' have one thing in common.

They had participated in the seizure of the Youde Bookstore, and had personally seen the scene of Master Zhou's impossibility.

For a time, the undercurrent in Canglong County surged.

As for Wu Wenjing and Zhou Ze, who were underperforming, and Fu Yuanlong, who had the chance to win, they didn't know anything about it.
