Chapter 146: Borrowing a Basket to Go Out of the City

Because there were two more seriously injured people in Doctor Liu's family, Zhao Zheng knew that Zhao Ji would not be able to return home for a while, so he was not in a hurry to go home and chatted with his disciples here until the sky was already bright.

"Alas...... When the day dawns, this 'dark light' can be used once, and if you stay here any longer, you may encounter patrols. For the sake of the teacher, you have to find a way to get out of the city, and you should also move quickly! Zhao Zheng licked his chapped lips and said.

Feng Youcai replied when he heard this: "Master rest assured, if you need to find us, then go directly to the northwest direction, and then there will be your own disciples to greet Master!" ”

"Well, that's very good, but this secret whistle must be doubly careful, if you accidentally let Zhao Ren serve the pot, then it will be a big trouble!" Zhao Zheng instructed.

Shen Feng and the others nodded yes when they heard this, Zhao Zheng saw that it was not early, and after a few more instructions, he went out of the courtyard, and followed closely, Feng Youcai led the crowd towards the northwest of the ruins.

Because he wanted to avoid the Zhao soldiers patrolling the city, Zhao Zheng did not go straight to the city gate, but went around the city a few times before rushing to the south gate. Because he had just experienced a small flood, the streets and alleys were still a little muddy and difficult to walk, and when Zhao Zheng came to the south gate again, his legs, which were originally quite dry, became "mud legs" again.

"Shhh...... There was such a big commotion the day before yesterday and so many people died, why didn't you meet a family preparing for a funeral along the way? Zhao Zheng muttered puzzled.

Although Zhao Zheng was at the end of the Warring States period at this time, his soul was after all a future person two years later, so there were not too many people who were in a state of war all year round. The death of a person was nothing new at that time, it seemed that the world had long been indifferent to this, and the family of the deceased was not too sad, and the corpse was hastily packed up and buried, and there was no decent funeral ceremony.

"Nancheng is full of poor people, and it's normal that they can't afford this funeral." Zhao Zheng thought for a moment and explained to himself.

At this time, merchants inside and outside Handan City came and went, except that there were more soldiers than usual. Because of the ghost in his heart, Zhao Zheng did not go straight to the outside of the city, but hid in the corner and observed carefully. After more than half an hour, Zhao Zheng found that everything was as before, as if nothing had happened.

"Shhh...... No, you can't! ”

Zhao Zheng observed the surroundings very cautiously, but like Fang Cai, he didn't find anything abnormal. At this time, Zhao Zheng was stunned, and he couldn't figure out why Zhang Mancang didn't take advantage of the riot to impose martial law in the whole city, but still opened the city normally. "Shhh...... Is it deliberately paralyzing me so that I can catch turtles in an urn? Zhao Zheng said secretly in his heart.

However, this idea was directly rejected by Zhao Zheng after only a flash in his mind, and after looking at the mud, Zhao Zheng knew that it was too easy for Zhang Mancang to follow him at this time, and he couldn't make such a big effort to catch himself.

"That'...... Even if you don't catch me...... Why are they safe and sound in the west of the city? Is it really because they are hiding and have skills that Zhao Bing can't find them? Thinking of this, Zhao Zheng shook his head again, at this time, he had an abnormal contradiction in his heart, and he didn't dare to go out of the city rashly.

Just when Zhao Zheng was at a loss for what to do, Zhao Zheng suddenly saw that not far away, the little medicine disciple was carrying an empty medicine basket and walking towards the city gate with some reluctance. Seeing this, Zhao Zheng hurriedly trotted over.

"Hehe, Zhao Zheng has seen Brother Liu...... Zhao Zhengqiang bowed with a smile on his face.

"Huh?"

The little medicine disciple was already annoyed at this time, but when he saw Zhao Zheng coming over, he immediately said impatiently: "Why are you here, something?" ”

"Brother Liu, where are you going?" Zhao Zheng asked with a smile while following.

The little medicine disciple was really funny when he saw that Zhao Zheng was very flattering, and then pointed to the medicine basket behind him and snorted lightly: "Naturally, I went to collect medicine!" You also saw it last night, there are two more people, and this medicine is not enough! ”

"Huh? That Xia Shen Doctor still hasn't taken a few herbs at home, and he still calls his brother to work hard to cook? ”

It's good that Zhao Zheng didn't mention this matter, but when he mentioned it, the little medicine disciple suddenly raised his eyebrows and scolded: "I don't know which son of a bitch raised it!" Uncle Xia was stolen! Even if you steal the food, you will steal most of the newly harvested medicinal materials! If it weren't for this, Lao Tzu would be talking and laughing with Fang Er now! ”

I don't know if it was intentional, after the little medicine disciple said this, he glanced at Zhao Zheng very angrily, as if he had declared his sovereignty to Zhao Zheng - Ah Fang is his!

Zhao Zheng didn't take this matter to heart at this time, because he knew that in history, Ah Fang eventually became his own woman. In this world, what Zhao Zheng has to do is to change history and work hard to protect his beloved woman, so Zhao Zheng at this time is desperate for development. As for the little medicine apprentice, Zhao Zheng directly chose to ignore it emotionally.

"I don't know what Zhao Zheng did to that little girl before, so that she can have such a good impression of herself......" Zhao Zheng said secretly.

Zhao Zheng saw that the little medicine apprentice glanced at him, and he didn't take it to heart, but just pretended to be stunned and said, "Huh? Is there such a shameless person in this world? Even the house of the miracle doctor Xia Wuqi dares to steal! Forget about stealing food, but even stealing medicine? Alas......"

Seeing Zhao Zheng angrily reprimanding the thief, the little medicine disciple softened his tone a little and said: "Actually, these are okay, the food is not worth a few dollars, and this medicinal material can be picked again when it is gone, it is the lost nitrate and sulfur that makes Uncle Xia very distressed, he thinks it must be done by a fellow Daoist!" The little medicine man said as he walked.

"It seems that this saltpeter and sulfur are very important to Xia Wuqi......" Zhao Zheng muttered in his heart.

While talking, the two came to the city gate together, and when the two walked to the side of the officers and soldiers on duty, Zhao Zheng hurriedly pulled the little medicine apprentice to a halt and said with a smile: "Brother Liu just stay again, let the little brother pick this medicinal material!" ”

"Huh?"

Zhao Zheng's words surprised the little medicine disciple: "Why are you doing this? ”

Zhao Zheng said with a smile: "The younger brother knows that his brother is going to go out of the city to collect medicine, and the younger brother is deliberately waiting for his brother here, so as to help his brother, after all, Uncle Xia is short of manpower at the moment, and brother, you are the descendant disciple of Grandpa Liu, and it is more useful to stay at home, and this kind of rough matter of collecting medicine is to be handed over to the younger brother!" As he spoke, before the little medicine disciple could respond, Zhao Zheng took off the basket on the back of the little medicine apprentice.

The little medicine apprentice was reluctant to go out to collect medicine, don't look at the body has been driven out by Xia Wuqi, and his soul is still floating in the inner room. Although the little medicine apprentice's face was full of reluctance when he saw this, there was a burst of ecstasy in his heart, "Haha, what's wrong with this kid today, isn't he sick?" The little medicine disciple said secretly in his heart.

The little medicine apprentice pretended to be very embarrassed, and finally let Zhao Zheng carry the medicine basket on his back half-pushed and half-on-the-spot.

According to Zhang Mancang's military order, no child is allowed to go out of the city without permission, but the officers and soldiers on duty heard the conversation between Xiao Yaotu and Zhao Zheng and learned that they had something to do with Xia Wuqi, and the little Yaotu and Zhao Zheng were also familiar, so they turned a blind eye and let Zhao Zheng pass.

When Zhao Zheng passed through the depressing city gate hole, the heart that was originally hanging slowly fell back into his stomach......
