Longevity starts from strengthening internal organs

Chapter 145

at dusk.

When Zhao Ya and Shang Luoluo came out from the last wealthy family, it was already the beginning of the day.

The bustling streets in the past have become much deserted.

Many people were frightened by the siege of alien beasts last night, so they tried not to go to the streets if they could.

On the long street, only the doors of a few scattered shops are still open, and the guises in front of the doors are swaying in the wind, adding a bit of desolation.

"Huh!" Shang Luoluo let out a long breath, feeling that this day was simply too tiring.

None of these rich families are fuel-efficient lamps, and it is almost impossible to get them to pay.

Fortunately.

The results of this day are also gratifying.

Under the general situation, these wealthy families have to obediently spend money and contribute even if they are reluctant.

Thinking of this, Shang Luoluo couldn't help looking at Zhao Ya who was at the side.

In fact, during this day, Zhao Ya was the absolute main force.

Shang Luoluo also experienced for the first time what is simple and rude.

Often before these wealthy families could finish their excuses, Zhao Ya would directly tear open their fig leaf and hit the depths of their souls.

A summary is just one sentence.

Either pay money, or contribute, or leave the county.

But such a simple trick has achieved miraculous results.

Most of the powerful clans obediently bowed their heads and admitted their cowardice, while the remaining small group wanted to rely on their own power to wrestle with Zhao Ya, but in the end they were also dealt with by Zhao Ya.

It is precisely because of this straightforwardness that they can transfer to the entire city's wealthy families in one day.

"What's wrong?" At this moment, Zhao Ya noticed that Shang Luoluo had been looking at him, so he asked.

"It's okay!" Then Shang Luoluo smiled suddenly, "Do you think we two look like we're playing autumn today?"

"Fight the autumn wind?"

"It means asking people for money under the guise of a name." Shang Luoluo explained with a smile.

"It's not like!" Zhao Ya said immediately, and then added.

"Because this is what they should have done. After all, the warriors are at the forefront of the beast tide. They hide behind to enjoy safety. Shouldn't they bleed?"

Shang Luoluo smiled and nodded, agreeing very much: "It makes sense, but I always feel that you are not like a warrior, but more like a businessman."

Zhao Ya also laughed, "You mean I'm fussy?"

"Of course not, I just think that ordinary warriors should not think so much. If you are in business, you are definitely a genius."

"Haha, Miss Luoluo has won the prize, but today I have brought you into trouble. After all, you have accompanied me to so many rich families. I guess they are scolding you now."

"Call me! It's not like I haven't been scolded before." Shang Luoluo said very naturally, without any disturbance.

Zhao Ya gave her a surprised look.

We must know that for a woman who has not left the boudoir, reputation is the most important.

But looking at Shang Luoluo's appearance, he didn't seem to care about these at all, and even acted as if he was used to it.

Facing Zhao Ya's astonishment, Shang Luoluo plucked the hair on his temples by his ears, and smiled calmly.

"From the time I first held receptions, rumors and rumors against me have never stopped. Some people said behind my back that I held receptions purely for the purpose of choosing a husband for myself, and others said that I was born with a lustful nature and could not live without a man for a day. "

"When I first heard these words, I felt very angry, but then I got used to it. After all, the mouth grows on other people, and you can't control it if you want to."

"As for these wealthy families..." A look of disdain appeared on Shang Luoluo's face.

"It's not that I look down on them. They are all dogs. They are afraid of you if you carry a stick. They will bark at you after you leave. It seems that they are quite capable, but next time you throw it to them Bones, wagging its tail at you again."

Looking at the indifferent Shang Luoluo, Zhao Ya suddenly felt admiration.

This is really a very smart woman, the key is that she is not pretentious, she has a kind of true temperament that is rare in men.

After Shang Luoluo finished speaking, she raised her eyes, just in time to meet Zhao Ya's gaze.

For some reason, she blushed slightly, then turned her head to pretend not to know and said: "I'm so hungry, I've been with you all day today, why don't you invite me to dinner?"

Zhao Ya laughed when he heard the words, "Isn't it easy to eat, just say what you want to eat, why don't you go to Feixianju?"

Unexpectedly, Shang Luoluo shook his head, "Don't go, I'm tired of eating that."

"Then what do you want to eat?"

"Let me take you to a place to make sure you haven't eaten."

Shang Luoluo said mysteriously, and then led Zhao Ya to leave the bustling downtown area, and came to a remote market in a few turns.

The environment here is only a little better than the slums, and the people living here are ordinary people struggling at the bottom of society.

And there is a noodle stall on the side of the street in Fangshi, and the owner of the stall is an old woman with gray hair.

Although he is not young, he is very clean in clothes, and his white hair is combed meticulously.

When she saw Shang Luoluo, the old woman couldn't help but smile.

"Here it is again, as usual?"

"Well, I'll add an extra bowl this time, and my friends are here too." Shang Luoluo said with a smile.

"Okay, sit down and wait."

Zhao Ya and Shang Luoluo picked up a bench and sat down.

There are still some diners at the noodle stall, but they are all ordinary people.

In contrast, Shang Luoluo, who was sitting here in an expensive dress, looked a little out of place.

Faced with those surprised or amazed gazes, Shang Luoluo didn't care at all, sat on the bench openly, and smiled at Zhao Ya.

"Do you think it's strange, why would I come to this kind of place to eat?"

"It's a little strange."

Of course, Zhao Ya didn't think that this noodle stall was so crude, in fact, he would prefer to come to this kind of place to eat if he had nothing to do.

The problem is that Shang Luo Luogui is the daughter of the county, and the reception held by the young warriors in the entire county flocks to him. He can be called a man of the hour in Yunxiao County.

So it was difficult for Zhao Ya to associate her with such a small noodle stall.

Is there any reason?
"Hey, are you wondering why I have a relationship with this noodle stall?" Shang Luoluo blinked and smiled sweetly.

"Ah."

"To tell you the truth, there is no reason at all. The reason why I come here to eat noodles is because I think the noodles here are delicious. How about it? Isn't this answer surprising?"

Zhao Ya: "...."

Then he nodded helplessly.

"It was a surprise."

"Hahahaha." Shang Luoluo laughed happily.

Her eyes were still bent until the noodles were cooked and served.

"Is it that funny?" Zhao Ya couldn't help asking.

"En!" Shang Luoluo nodded solemnly, swallowed the noodles in his mouth, and added.

"Mainly, the astonished and helpless look on your face just now was too funny."

Zhao Ya decided not to pay any attention to this guy, Xilihulu finished eating the noodles, got up to pay for the noodles, and then sent Shang Luoluo home.

On the way home, Shang Luoluo was obviously in a good mood.

"Hey, are you going to the tower later?"

"Ah."

Zhao Ya really planned to go around the tower, although he said that there were night guards there today, but he would not be at ease if he didn't take a look.

Shang Luoluo's eyes lit up, "Then take me there."

"What are you doing there?" Zhao Ya asked in surprise.

"No reason, just want to see."

"But it's so late, if you don't go back, won't the governor be in a hurry?"

"Don't worry, he won't be in a hurry, isn't he here with you, he must be at ease in terms of safety."

"Okay!" Zhao Ya nodded, turned back, and brought Shang Luoluo to the tower.

After climbing up the city wall, people from Zhenshan Boxing Gym were patrolling it.

In addition, there are many government servants.

Zhao Ya knew that this should all be sent by Shang Jingchuan.

Although it is said that these yamen soldiers can't play much role, they at least show an attitude.

"Master Zhao!"

"Young Xia Zhao!"

Along the way, people kept saying hello to Zhao Ya.

Zhao Ya nodded in response one by one, and then led Shang Luoluo to the tower.

And after they left, the boys from the boxing gym got together excitedly and began to discuss in a low voice.

"Who is that woman led by Mr. Zhao? She looks so beautiful!"

"I heard that she is the daughter of the county sheriff and the initiator of the merchant's reception. What is her name, Shang Luoluo?"

"Or you have to work hard to cultivate. You see, Master Zhao has entered the fourth realm at such a young age, and even the daughter of the county guard took the initiative to pursue him."

Although he had gone far away, Zhao Ya could still hear these discussions with his hearing ability, and he couldn't help turning his head and said, "Okay, stop talking nonsense, and hurry up to patrol."

The group of disciples laughed and responded when they heard the words, and then scattered like birds and beasts.

Zhao Ya said to Shang Luoluo with some embarrassment: "I'm sorry, these martial arts students have always been like this, and they speak freely."

Shang Luoluo was very calm, "It's okay."

When he came to the tower, he greeted several brothers from Zhenshan Boxing Gym, and Zhao Ya looked out along the lookout.

I saw shadows in the mountains and forests outside the city gate, and it was obvious that a large number of strange beasts had gathered again.

But this time these strange beasts did not leave the forest, but hid in the dark and stared at the county.

"Why do you say they besieged the city without attacking it?" Shang Luoluo asked suddenly.

"I think it should be waiting for a certain opportunity." Zhao Ya said in a deep voice.

"The timing..." Shang Luoluo fell silent.

On the way back, Shang Luoluo didn't speak until they reached the door of the Shang mansion, and they were about to enter.

Shang Luoluo suddenly said: "You said... do these strange beasts want to surround the entire county?"

Zhao Ya was slightly taken aback, "I also thought about this possibility, but what is their purpose for doing this?"

"Cutting off foreign aid, and then waiting for an opportunity to attack the city after the chaos in the city, this also explains why they have been cruising outside the city. This is actually putting pressure on the county."

After saying this, both Shang Luoluo and Zhao Ya fell into silence, and both of them had ugly expressions.

It would be horrific if that were the case.

Because this proves that among this group of strange beasts, there is indeed an extremely intelligent existence secretly directing them.

After returning from the Shang residence, the more Zhao Ya thought about it, the more likely it was that what Shang Luoluo said was very likely.

And doing so can not only exert invisible pressure on the county, but also accumulate strength.

At least tonight, Zhao Ya felt that there were more strange beasts outside the city than yesterday.

No!

You can't sit still like this, you must take the initiative.

Zhao Ya immediately sat up and began to prepare for tomorrow.

After a night passed, Zhao Ya immediately notified all the martial arts halls, and then took people to Zhu's house.

The Zhu family didn't play tricks this time, and each of the five hundred cloth armors was quite a lot, all of which were delivered to Zhao Ya and the others.

When they brought the cloth armor to the gate of the city, many people had already gathered here.

When Zhao Ya came back with such a pair of armor, many people were surprised.

"Xiaoya, where did this come from?" Shen Dao was extremely surprised.

Zhao Ya smiled when he heard the words, "I borrowed this from the Zhu family. With its protection, it will be difficult for those poisonous insects to penetrate."

"Borrowed from the Zhu family?" Xu De who was on the side couldn't believe his ears.

To know the style of a wealthy family like the Zhu family, he, who was born in a merchant family, knew it all too well.

It can't be said that he is stingy, at least he is mean and mean.

If Zhao Ya was able to borrow thousands of taels of gold from it, Xu De still believed it.

But the cost of cloth armor is high. The key is that as the world becomes more and more chaotic, the raw materials for making cloth armor are becoming more and more difficult to obtain, even if you have money, you can't buy them.

So Xu De couldn't believe that Zhao Ya "borrowed" it anyway.

Zhao Ya smiled slightly, and didn't hide anything, he directly told all the things that he searched all over the city's wealthy families yesterday and forced them to contribute money and effort.

When Xu De heard this, he suddenly realized, and couldn't help giving a thumbs up.

As for everyone, they are naturally even more excited.

Zhao Ya then announced that anyone who goes out of the city to clear the forest will be rewarded generously.

Money is magical.

With the temptation of money, even though only a few people died yesterday, people are still very enthusiastic today.

Zhao Ya selected a group of elites, and asked them all to wear cloth armor, cover their faces with gauze scarves, and wear gloves to ensure that no skin was exposed.

In the end, Zhao Ya gave everyone a medicinal powder that could ward off poison and insects.

This is the result of Zhao Ya's hard work last night.

It was made in a hurry, but it worked out well.

At least after doing an experiment with those poisonous insects at home, I found that they are basically effective.

After finishing these preparations, Zhao Ya led everyone out of the city gate.
