Martial Arts: Start by Obtaining the Wild World

Chapter 84 0083: Mutation of refugees (first order required)
After Cheng Chen left, Cheng Zongyang casually walked around the government office and finally found the pebble at about eleven o'clock in the northwest corner of the county government office.

Cheng Zongyang glanced at the wall, memorized the location, and left without stopping.

On the way, Cheng Zongyang counted the money he had on him.

After spending money on oil, salt, medicinal herbs, books, ink, etc., there was still more than 510 taels of silver left.

He saved the money to buy martial arts.

There is no need to change the martial arts used by the family. The body-building exercises combined with medicinal baths are simply a way to quickly train warriors.

Only martial arts need diversity!

Then he went towards the weapons shop.

On the roads and wide streets, only a few pedestrians tried to walk under the shadow of the eaves to avoid the scorching sun.

On the streets, there were also some government officials walking around casually and sloppily.

At the same time, outside the west gate of the county town.

Among the refugees, two middle-aged men in shabby clothes easily knocked down a group of scarred men at a corner of the city wall.

The middle-aged man in the lead had a black cloth tied around his face, whether it was to cover his mouth and nose or to hide something. He stepped on Scar's head with his right foot, and while his eyes showed disgust, he lowered his voice and said in a grim tone:

"Now, can you be obedient?"

The scarred man's eyes showed fear, but also a hint of madness, and he kept saying:

"Yes, yes! Sir, please say!"

The other person next to the man covered his face with a blue cloth and looked around with a little vigilance.

But when he saw a lot of bones scattered on the ground that were obviously not animal bones, and looked at the twenty or thirty people lying on the ground groaning and howling in pain, his eyes burst into murderous intent!
The middle-aged man wearing a black turban leaned over and whispered to the scarred man:

"Don't you know that there is a plague outside the city? The plague and water shortage outside will put you in an irretrievable situation!
Don't underestimate those people who give out rice porridge and a bowl of water every day.

But only in the county town can you find medicine, water, food, and meat! Otherwise, your fate will only be death.

Only if you enter the city will you have a chance of survival, do you understand what I mean?"

The scarred man's crazy smile suddenly froze, and he quickly said, "Plague...? How could there be a plague!!"

Even the man with the scar was deeply frightened at this moment!

At this moment, a scene in his memory emerged - when he was seven years old, he was dragged out of his home by the village chief! Just because there was a plague in the village, his parents also got the plague and died miserably at home! He was lucky and survived by relying on some folk remedies and herbs.

From then on, the plague became his nightmare!
The middle-aged man looked at the trembling scarred man and sneered, "So, your life-saving medicine is in the city! If you rush in, you will have a chance of survival!"

The scarred man hesitated and struggled, "There are so many soldiers at the gate. We, we can't defeat them. Some people tried before, but they all died! Without a warrior like you, we can't get in... No one dares to charge the city!"

The man snorted coldly, and crushed the man's face with the tip of his right foot. Amid the man's howling in pain, he said in a cold tone:

“The food you eat is no longer human! Instead of letting me torture you to the point of being unable to live or die, and then catching the plague and dying in agony, why don’t you go kill those people at the door who are preventing you from entering the city!?

They are just waiting for you to get the plague so that they can take credit for it! Are you willing to be used by them to die miserably like this? And then be thrown into that stinking ditch over there?"

Now, the man's words were like the straw that broke the camel's back. The hesitation and struggle in the scarred man's eyes turned into determination and madness, and there was no fear as before!

Seeing this look and expression, the middle-aged man raised his foot with satisfaction and took two steps back.

"Go ahead and tell everyone what you know! You are their hope!"

The scarred man ignored the dust and gravel on his face. A ferocious look appeared on his crazy face. He grinned, saliva dripped from the corners of his mouth, and he knelt on the ground and laughed wildly:
"That's right! Why should we die here? Why should we leave our homes? Why won't you let us in? Since we have to die, let's die together! Hahaha..."

Seeing this, the two middle-aged men left.

Next, let's see how they will develop this disaster that has been buried for a long time! The man with a blue cloth on his face glanced at the scarred man who had begun to instigate the refugees, and asked calmly:

"Brother Le Wei, is this plan feasible?"

The man wearing the black cloth said indifferently:
"According to the intelligence sent back by the county spies, the refugees surrounded the city this time, but they surrounded it instead of driving them away. They just sat there and watched, waiting for the plague to appear before dealing with it. Isn't it just to get credit for curing the disease?

Lu Pin, you must know that the Zheng family wants their subordinate Chang family to take advantage of this opportunity to enter the court, which is not only beneficial to the Zheng family, but also increases the weight of the Chang family in the county city? Do you really think that the Zhu family is transparent?

The grain was robbed twice. If the adults hadn't been tied up, how could the Chang family be so arrogant? "

At this point, Zhu Lewei sneered: "This time, it's good enough that Chang Younian was not taken away!"

"What about the An and Miao families? I'm afraid they can only stay after the incident, but it's not easy for the noble families to help, right?" The man called Lu Pin frowned: "Even if we can suppress the refugees, the county town will probably be destroyed. The plague... is out of control!"

Zhu Lewei stopped and looked towards the direction of the county town. He said calmly, "Perhaps after some time, a memorial will appear on the king's desk. Do you know what it will say?"

After hearing this, Lu Pin was silent for a while and then said:
"There was a severe drought for two years, and the people were living in poverty. The county magistrate often arbitrarily increased taxes, causing the people under his jurisdiction to suffer more and more. Later, he ignored the influx of refugees and allowed them to destroy fields and villages. Countless villagers lost their homes and people, and nine out of ten houses in the village were empty. Eventually, the people became refugees and gathered around the city. The refugees lacked food and water, and competed to snatch tree bark and wild grass to fill their stomachs. What's worse, people even exchanged their own children for cannibalism! In order to gain credit for the treatment, the county magistrate watched the epidemic run rampant before taking action to treat the disease, which led to the refugees eventually attacking the county town, and the county town was almost destroyed."

“Hahahaha…” Zhu Lewei smiled up to the sky: “It really is worthy of the talent that the Master values ​​and asked me to come here in person.”

Lu Pin couldn't laugh, and sighed:
“Natural disasters can be overcome, but man-made disasters are hard to overcome.”

In the city, Cheng Zongyang came to the weapons shop and saw Chen Kaishan who was cleaning up the shop.
"Master Chen, are you planning to close the shop so early?"

Cheng Zongyang smiled and came to Chen Kaishan in a very familiar manner.

Chen Kaishan glanced at Cheng Zongyang and said calmly, "You are in a good mood... huh?"

Suddenly, his hand paused, his eyes stared at Cheng Zongyang's temple like a hawk, and his tone became solemn: "You became a warrior?"

Cheng Zongyang was a little surprised.

He didn't know that Chen Kaishan was a warrior. He didn't feel the aura of a warrior from him. The position of his temples was no different from that of an ordinary person.

"Did you figure it out?" Cheng Zongyang asked.

Chen Kaishan's expression calmed down, and he continued to work on his task, while slowly saying:

"It seems that you still hid it from me that day. The python gallbladder was not broken? Or did you find something else in the python?"

Cheng Zongyang shrugged.

"I really don't have anything. I have been practicing martial arts for some time..."

"Stop talking nonsense in front of me." Chen Kaishan interrupted and snorted, "Do you really think I can't see it?"

As he said that, he entered the house, took out two pieces of armor, threw them to Cheng Zongyang, and waved his hand: "Okay, leave the county if you have nothing else to do. I am leaving too. This county...can't stay any longer."

Cheng Zongyang quickly took the armor and said in a daze: "Master Chen, you are a warrior? But why don't you have any..."

"This is not for you to know. We have already settled the payment."

After hearing this, Cheng Zongyang felt a sense of weirdness.
Just like what a woman says when she is angry because a man cheated on her...

Cheng Zongyang was startled and quickly dismissed the thought.

It's so scary.

Seeing that Chen Kaishan was too lazy to pay attention to him, Cheng Zongyang shrugged and could only take his things and leave.

Although I have many questions to ask.
