Longevity starts from strengthening internal organs

Chapter 144
"What is the origin of this black bee, why is it so poisonous?" Someone gasped and asked.

"It should be some kind of rare beast. The eggs are attached to the forest trees. Once someone touches them, they will hatch in their bodies and then spread rapidly."

After Zhao Ya put on his gloves and inspected the corpse, he came to a conclusion.

Many people's faces changed.

I thought this task would be easy, just cut down trees and clear part of the forest, but I didn't expect to encounter such a strange thing.

The key point is that this is not the same as fighting with real swords and guns.
You can at least take precautions against real fights with real swords and guns. If you don't know what's going on with this thing, you may get caught.

And once he was recruited, the death was extremely tragic.

Just ask who can not be afraid.

"Then Master Zhao, what shall we... do now?" Someone swallowed with difficulty and asked fearfully.

Zhao Ya dropped the gloves and looked at the forest ahead.

At this time, the lush forest swayed with the wind, the branches and leaves rustled, insects and birds sang endlessly, and it seemed to be full of vitality.

But Zhao Ya understands that just under this lively appearance, there are actually infinite murderous intentions.

The group of strange beasts last night were obviously much more cunning than I imagined, and they actually knew to leave an ambush in the mountains.

At this time, it is obviously impossible to continue to move forward.

Just because I am not afraid of these poisonous bees does not mean that other people are not afraid.

So he could only let out a sigh of relief.

"Withdraw first."

The people withdrew in embarrassment with the bodies of these people.

The family members of the deceased rushed to hear the news, weeping bitterly.

The martial arts school to which it belongs sent someone to comfort him.

Looking at this scene, Zhao Ya's face was a little gloomy.

Then someone patted him on the shoulder.

Zhao Ya looked back and saw that it was his second senior brother Shen Dao.

"Don't blame yourself, everyone knows that dealing with the beast tide is fatal, and no one will blame you." Shen Dao said.

Zhao Ya shook his head, "I don't blame myself, I just feel a little angry."

Shen Dao was taken aback, "What do you mean?"

"This time the beast horde is clearly targeting the entire county, why are the government and those powerful families hiding behind and not showing up, and only let us warriors rush to the front?" Zhao Ya said coldly.

Shen Dao was taken aback when he heard the words.

He didn't expect his little junior brother to be angry because of this.

"This...maybe we warriors are already used to it!" Shen Dao said with a wry smile.

In recent years, whenever there is a problem in the county, the major martial arts clubs have always been the first to solve it. If things go on like this, everyone is used to it.

Even the warrior himself didn't feel that there was anything wrong with it.

After all, isn't the purpose of practicing martial arts by oneself is to keep one party safe?

But Zhao Ya didn't think so.

At the beginning, he went to the Shang Mansion to find Shang Luoluo, and wanted to get the sheriff Shang Jingchuan to come forward, but he was rejected.

The reason was clearly stated by Shang Luoluo at the time, the government had no intention of interfering in this matter, and it would be best if the power of warriors could be weakened by this beast tide.

At that time Zhao Ya returned without success, and when he came back to report to his master Lu Dingtai, even he was used to this incident and didn't think it was outrageous.

But Zhao Ya always felt aggrieved.

Because he had told Shang Luoluo at that time that this beast horde might be extraordinary, and it was definitely not something that warriors could hold on to.

At that time, Zhao Ya almost said that under the collapse of the nest, there would be no eggs.

Shang Luoluo also agreed to persuade his father.

But after so many days, the government is still indifferent, which shows that Shang Luoluo's persuasion has not worked.

The government forces headed by Shang Jingchuan are still dreaming of the dream of reaping the benefits of being a fisherman.

But how did they ever think that if something goes wrong this time, the entire county will be destroyed.

As for those wealthy families, their calculations are very loud on weekdays, let alone at this time.

But Zhao Ya didn't want to get used to these people.

He watched silently as the family collected and carried away the corpse, then turned and left.

This time he went straight to the government office on Lion Street.

The guards in front of the gate naturally recognized him, knowing that this is the young Toshihiko who has been in the limelight recently, and even the county guard thinks highly of him, so he didn't dare to stop him, and let him in after letting him in.

After going around for a while, after seeing Shang Jingchuan, the county guard, Zhao Ya didn't show any politeness, and said straight to the point: "Master County Governor, I'm here for the beast horde."

The smile on Shang Jingchuan's face didn't diminish at all, "I asked you to call out to Nephew Zhao Xian, I know you have been running around about the animal horde recently, to be honest, I have always wanted to help, but There’s nothing I can’t do.”

Speaking of this, Shang Jingchuan sighed, and said helplessly: "Don't look at me as the sheriff of Yunxiao County, actually I have neither soldiers nor generals, and only have a little authority to allocate food and grass."

"The only ones that I can mobilize are the dozens of personal guards in the government office. If you don't dislike nephew Zhao Xian, you can take them all away. I will pay a sum of money in my own name for this time. The beast tide has contributed."

Zhao Ya didn't say anything, just watched Shang Jingchuan quietly and complained.

It wasn't until after he finished speaking that Zhao Ya said, "Have you finished?"

Shang Jingchuan's complexion changed, "Nephew Zhao Xian doesn't believe what the old man said?"

"I believe it, of course I believe it. The county sheriff is admirable for his impartiality in enforcing the law with a clean hand, but what you did this time is really a little dishonest."

"What do you mean?"

"Smart people don't do dark things. You and I are smart people, so don't go around the corner. You want to use this beast tide to weaken the power of our warriors, but do you think you can regain power by doing this?"

The smile on Shang Jingchuan's face gradually faded away.

Because Zhao Ya didn't play cards according to the routine at all, there was no one in the general management field who talked like that.

The key point is that these few words hit the nail on the head, and even he was a little bit overwhelmed.

He couldn't help re-examining the bright-eyed boy opposite him.

"Nephew Zhao Xian is threatening me?" Shang Jingchuan said indifferently.

"Of course not." Zhao Ya shook his head, "I just wanted to tell Lord Sheriff a few things."

"Speaking!"

"First of all, the intensity of this animal swarm will be unprecedented. I even suspect that there are traces of human manipulation, because the behavior of the animal group is too abnormal."

Zhao Ya succinctly described the changes of the herd last night and the ambush in the forest today.

Shang Jingchuan was silent when he heard this.

"and then?"

"And then, under this level of beast tide, if your government wants to sit on the mountain and watch the tigers fight, and finally reap the benefits of the fisherman, it is doomed to be nothing but fantasy, because the situation in front of you cannot tolerate the slightest constraint, and if you are a little careless It is the danger of overthrow. Of course...."

Before Shang Jingchuan could speak, Zhao Ya continued.

"Does the governor think that the cavalry stationed in Bolingyu can rest easy? In fact, this is a big mistake. Let's not say that the leader of the garrison, Wei Hongbin, is contemptuous. Let's just say that the current situation, if this cavalry What should you do if the cavalry stay in the county and refuse to leave?"

"He dares!" Shang Jingchuan sneered, "He Wei Hongbin was born as a general, so how can he not know the King of Yan's law? If he really wants to do that, will he still need his head?"

"Da Yan Wang Fa..." Zhao Ya couldn't help chuckling.

He finally knew what the biggest problem with people like Shang Jingchuan was.

This kind of person is obviously still living in his own fantasy.

Now that the chaos in the world has emerged early, and the situation of the world's heroes is gradually becoming clear. Many places, such as Wuxiang City, have not known the king's order for many years. Who will take this so-called Great Yan King's law seriously?
Maybe he was annoyed by Zhao Ya's attitude.

Shang Jingchuan's face was livid, "Do you think I'm talking nonsense?"

Zhao Ya mercilessly nodded and said, "Yes!"

"Hmph, you are young, I don't blame you, but have you ever thought about why Wei Hongbin dare not enter the city even if he has been stationed in Boling Valley for so many years even if his intentions are wrong?"

"Because you control his food supply!" Zhao Ya said helplessly.

"That's right, the power to supply food and grass is in my hands. Forgive him, Wei Hongbin can't turn the world around."

Now that Zhao Ya had spoken out, Shang Jingchuan simply stopped concealing it and said it very bluntly.

In his conception, relying on the beast tide to weaken the power of these warriors who never put the government in their eyes, and then use Wei Hongbin's garrison to drive out the beast tide, and finally he will profit from it and gain the actual control of the county.

This technique of repelling tigers and wolves with one hand can be described as perfect.

But Zhao Ya just sneered when he heard the words, he was too lazy to show mercy to Shang Jingchuan, so he said it directly.

"Lord Sheriff, you are the sheriff in the government office in the city, but if the rebel army enters the city, do you think you will still be?"

This question hits the soul.

Shang Jingchuan was stunned for a moment.

Zhao Ya stood up and said, "To be honest, I didn't expect Mr. Juncheng that you are not as mature as your daughter Luoluo at your age. Do you think that the right to allocate food and grass can be unscrupulous in your hands?"

"The cavalry of Wei Hongbin listened to you in Boling Valley, but once they entered the city, there was food and grass all over the place. Do they still need to obey your orders?"

Shang Jingchuan's face gradually turned pale.

"Then why is he..."

"Because there are many martial arts forces in the county, and these martial artists unite, even Wei Hongbin has to weigh it carefully, so the three parties can always maintain this delicate balance."

Zhao Ya directly pointed out the key point.

Shang Jingchuan sat down on the chair, his face was pale, and he didn't say a word.

Zhao Ya also ignored him.

He knew that people like Shang Jingchuan read too much books, and really thought that the reality was just like what was written in the books, and he could command thousands of troops with tokens and arrows in his hand, and everything would be beneficial.

In reality the reality is never that simple.

Because real power is always cruel.

To put it bluntly, it means awe.

Shang Jingchuan relied on the supply of grain and grass to hold Wei Hongbin in the city. Wei Hongbin bowed his head and did not dare to complain. Of course, what he was afraid of was not Shang Jingchuan, but the grain and grass in his hands.

But once he enters the city and owns the rich land of the county, Shang Jingchuan's power will naturally be invalidated.

At this time, Zhao Ya rushed to the screen and said, "Miss Luo Luo, you have been listening behind the screen for so long, and you still refuse to show your face?"

A silver bell-like laughter came from behind the screen, and then a charming woman came out, it was Shang Luoluo.

"It's not that the little girl refuses to show up, it's because she was fascinated by Mr. Zhao's wonderful analysis just now."

Shang Luoluo's eyes were indeed filled with amazement and admiration.

She really couldn't figure it out.

How can a young man who has only turned 20 years old have such a keen and clear understanding of the situation.

Especially the sentence that the three parties maintained a weak balance made Shang Luoluo secretly applaud.

"Miss Luoluo was joking, I think you must have already had these thoughts."

Shang Luoluo shook his head, "Yes, but it is far less clear than Mr. Zhao."

After that, she turned to look at her father.

"Father, you have heard what Mr. Zhao said just now, so stop having those unrealistic ideas, and unite with Mr. Zhao as soon as possible to ensure that the county can survive this crisis safely. You don't want to see the lives of the people in the city go to waste, don't you?"

Shang Jingchuan had gradually recovered his sobriety at this time, and he smiled wryly upon hearing this.

"I know, I was a little naive because I was a father before."

As he spoke, he sat up straight and looked at Zhao Ya with a solemn expression.

"The government can fully support you, but it is not enough for us alone."

Zhao Ya nodded, "Of course, those powerful families can't stay out of the matter, I'm going to find them next."

Shang Jingchuan sighed, "Then you have to be prepared to fail. After all, those wealthy families are different from me. They all have a way out. At worst, they abandon the city, so they may not be willing to make a move."

"How do you know if you don't try, and at this moment, do you think they can still get out of the city?" Zhao Ya sneered.

"what do you mean……."

"I don't mean anything. It's just that this beast swarm has polluted the mountains and forests. There must be ambushes on the road. If you want to leave at this time, it will not be so easy."

After saying that, Zhao Ya turned around and was about to leave.

Shang Luoluo stopped him suddenly, "Wait a minute."

"Miss Shang, what else is there?" Zhao Ya stopped and asked.

"I'll go with you. After all, I know all those wealthy families in the city. If I go, they will give me some kind of favor." Shang Luoluo brushed his hair by his ears, and said with a charming smile.

Zhao Ya thought for a while, then nodded and said, "Okay, then I will trouble you."

After leaving the government office, Zhao Ya was the first to ask, "Where does the Zhu family live?"

Shang Luoluo was a little surprised, "Mr. Zhao plans to take the Zhu family first?"

"Hmm! No way?"

"Yes, yes, but the Zhu family is very powerful. I heard that they have connections in the capital, but it is a tough nut to crack."

"No matter how difficult it is to chew, you have to chew!"

The reason why Zhao Ya chose to use Zhu's family first was that the batch of cloth armor materials stolen from Yongsheng Cloth Village was sold to Zhu's family some time ago.

Presumably at this time, there should be a cloth armor hidden in his home.

Although this thing's ability to deal with swords is weaker, it is perfect for dealing with the poisonous bees in the mountains and forests today.

Shang Luoluo brought Zhao Ya to the Zhu family, and met Zhu Zihao, the head of the Zhu family, very smoothly.

This is a middle-aged man with a big belly, and he looks very rich and kind.

After seeing Zhao Ya and Shang Luo, he greeted them with a smile.

"Luoluo, is this Zhao Shaoxia who has been in the limelight recently?"

"Yes, Uncle Zhu, this is Mr. Zhao Ya, Mr. Zhao." Shang Luoluo introduced.

"Hey, I already know what happened outside the city today. It's really admirable that you are running for the people in the city. My Zhu family is willing to donate 3000 taels of gold to help you. How about it?"

Before Zhao Ya could open his mouth, Zhu Zihao had already opened his mouth, and one mouth was worth 3000 taels of gold, which is not insignificant.

Unexpectedly, Zhao Ya shook his head.

Zhu Zihao laughed, "Don't you think it's too little? Then 5000 taels of gold, plus a batch of dried meat, this is the greatest sincerity of my Zhu family."

The words are also reminding Zhao Ya not to be too greedy.

Zhao Ya said: "Patriarch Zhu misunderstood, I didn't come here to ask for money."

"Oh? Then what do you want?"

"Cloth armor." Zhao Ya said these two words very calmly.

Zhu Zihao also calmed down, staring at Zhao Ya with a pair of toad-like eyes.

After a long time, Zhu Zihao suddenly smiled.

"Blame me, blame me, why didn't I expect that the batch of fabrics stolen from the Ning family was recovered by Zhao Shaoxia."

"It's a pity, Zhao Shaoxia, you came late. I have already sent the batch of cloth armor materials to the capital, and they didn't stay in Yunxiao County at all."

Zhao Ya didn't speak, just looked at Zhu Zihao coldly.

Zhu Zihao stood there with a smile, but gradually, the smile on his face became stiff, and a trace of cold sweat appeared on his forehead.

He also has a second-level cultivation, but it is purely for strengthening his physique, and has never been in actual combat. How can he compare with the momentum of a four-level warrior like Zhao Ya, who has fought with a knife and a gun.

At this time, the guards around him also noticed something strange and were about to step forward.

Suddenly, Zhao Ya said: "Patriarch Zhu, did you know that this beast tide has already polluted the mountains and forests. Even if you want to leave, it will probably be very difficult."

Zhu Zihao's expression changed wildly, "Are you threatening me?"

"Whether it's a threat or not, Patriarch Zhu will send a few people out to try it out." Zhao Ya said coldly.

Cold sweat broke out on Zhu Zihao's face all of a sudden.

The reason why he was so calm before was because he felt that the big deal would be to abandon the city and leave, why bother to live and die with this county.

But now Zhao Ya's words ruthlessly shattered his fantasy.

"Of course, if Patriarch Zhu insists on leaving, I won't stop him. It's just that it's thousands of miles away from the capital, and it's hard to predict what will happen on the way."

After saying that, Zhao Ya got up and was about to leave.

At this moment, Zhu Zihao suddenly stopped him.

"Wait a moment!"

"What else is there for Patriarch Zhu?"

"I suddenly remembered that there is still a batch of leftover cloth armor in the warehouse, about three hundred pieces, is it enough?"

Zhao Ya smiled slightly, "Five hundred."

Zhu Zihao gritted his teeth, "Okay! I'll search again, and I should be able to make up enough."

"Then I would like to thank Patriarch Zhu."

After finishing speaking, Zhao Ya took Shang Luoluo and left.

As soon as he left the gate of Zhu's house, Shang Luoluo looked at Zhao Ya, and suddenly burst out laughing.

"What are you laughing at?" Zhao Ya was a little puzzled.

"The way you bargained just now looks like a profiteer."

"Haha, no matter how raped you are, can there still be these wealthy traitors?"

"To be honest, I didn't expect Zhu Zihao to give you face like this. With five hundred cloth armors, his Zhu family is bleeding a lot now." Shang Luoluo laughed.

"He didn't give me face, but the face of all the martial arts schools in the city."

"Nowadays, almost all the martial arts schools in the city have united into one place. This power is so strong, not to mention his Zhu family, even if these wealthy families are all tied together, they have to bow their heads. And my visit this time represents all the martial arts in the city. Warrior, tell me, does he dare not bow his head?" Zhao Ya said lightly.

Seeing the young man in front of him berating Fang Qiu and belittling the wealthy families in the city, Shang Luoluo suddenly felt a little dazed.

"Are you listening?" Zhao Ya couldn't help asking strangely seeing that Shang Luoluo hadn't spoken.

"Ah... I'm listening, let's go, let's go to the next house, and try to make all the wealthy families in the city bleed before dark."

　Don’t think the attitude of these wealthy families is unreal. Think about the time when Li Zicheng’s troops surrounded BJ City, Chongzhen raised military pay, and his father-in-law was as rich as an enemy, but in the end he was only willing to give 3 taels of silver, and kept crying for poverty.And after the city was broken, his family alone was tortured out of millions of taels of silver.
