Chapter Twenty-Three: The Bandits

The end of the day's training.

Chen Xuan purchased a batch of rice, noodles, meat, medicinal herbs and other materials.

The more than three hundred taels of silver obtained from the Huiyuan Medical Center were almost spent.

Fortunately, the cellar at home is already almost full.

Even if something really happened in Qingshui County, if he was unlucky enough to be looted by a bandit army composed of bandits, he would be able to support it for a long time with the food he had hoarded during this time.

"Brother Xuan."

"I've seen Brother Xuan."

"Brother Xuan, do you want to help?"

Back in Changningfang, some gangsters on the street saw Chen Xuan, and they were all extremely respectful.

"No, what are you supposed to do?"

Chen Xuan waved his hand.

He bought rice noodles and meat, even if he bought them in batches, but many times, they also attracted the attention of the ruffians and hooligans in the Changning Fang area, and more than a dozen gangsters surrounded him and wanted to rob them.

As a result, he was taught a lesson.

Since then, no ruffians have dared to trouble him, and they are respectful to see him, and even these gangsters have set up a 'prosperous gang' to get him to be attached to.

Chen Xuan naturally didn't have time to accompany these gangsters to mess around.

Not to mention that it is only a few taels of silver for a month, and the reputation is still stinky in Changningfang, and there are a lot of bad things.

During this time, he also kept an eye on the Huiyuan Medical Center, or the owner of the Huiyuan Medical Center, Doctor Wang, since Doctor Wang was blind, he had been busy treating his eyes and had no time to trouble him.

In the evening, pedestrians are scarce.

Aside from a few sneaky gangsters, there are basically no pedestrians.

When he got home, Chen Xuan put the grain he bought in the cellar and hid it, then took out the medicinal materials he bought and continued to boil the medicine.

"Boom ......"

After boiling the secret medicine, Chen Xuan, who was about to fall asleep, suddenly noticed that the ground trembled under his feet.

Immediately afterwards, this trembling feeling became more and more intense, as if there were thousands of troops galloping.

"What happened?"

Chen Xuan immediately jumped onto the roof and looked into the distance.

"Boom—"

Flames surged in the distance, shouts of killing shook the sky.

"That's the direction of Ping An Fang."

Seeing the flames in the distance, Chen Xuan's pupils shrank slightly.

Ping'an Fang, where the wealthy people of Beicheng District lived, actually broke out into a huge chaos.

In addition to Ping'an Fang, Chen Xuan also saw that there were also fires burning in other areas of the city.

"Could it be that the bandits have entered the city?"

Chen Xuan guessed.

If it is true that the bandit army has entered the city, then the safest place in the past is the most dangerous place.

These bandit armies are made up of bandits.

The gathering place of the rich is naturally the first target of the bandits.

As for a civilian area like Changningfang, they are all ordinary people, and it is a complete waste of time for bandits to come and loot, even if the wealth of Changningfang Street is looted, it is better to rob a random one in Ping'anfang.

Therefore, in this chaotic city, it is safest to stay in Changningfang.

Chen Xuan didn't dare to walk around, staying on the roof and always paying attention to the situation in the city.

The red flames in several places in the city became more and more intense, and even the burning sky became red, which was extremely conspicuous in the dark night, and the shouts of killing also shook the sky, which lasted until dawn.

As the sun rose, the bandit army began to retreat and disappeared without a trace.

After these bandits robbed one place, they immediately changed places and wandered around.

If you stay in one place for a long time, you will definitely be blocked by the county army.

"Although the bandit army has retreated, the chaos in the city has not been calmed down so easily."

Coming down from the roof, Chen Xuan could think of the next chaos in his mind.

The county town was sacked by bandits, the officers and soldiers were killed and wounded innumerable, and the family also suffered heavy losses, and they were too busy to take care of themselves, and the order was unprecedentedly chaotic.

Especially for gangsters, it's more of a gluttonous feast.

In fact, someone approached Chen Xuan that night.

However, the people who are looking for Chen Xuan are not ordinary gangsters, nor are they looking for trouble, but a few martial artists who practiced martial arts in the Giant Bear Martial Arts Hall and reached the Skin Grinding Realm not long ago, and they want to take advantage of the chaos in the city to pull Chen Xuan together to do a few votes without capital.

The reason why Chen Xuan was recruited was because Chen Xuan's strength was the strongest.

These martial artists have just reached the dermabrasion realm, but Chen Xuan is already about to complete the dermabrasion of the upper body, and with Chen Xuan's joining, they are also more confident in their hearts.

Their families are not wealthy, and they need a lot of silver to complete the cultivation of the dermabrasion realm, so they want to take advantage of the chaos in the city to do a few transactions without capital.

"I didn't expect these people to have such a bold idea."

These martial artists came to the door, and Chen Xuan was also a little surprised in his heart.

In the process of getting along with martial arts in the martial arts hall, he didn't see it at all.

It can only be said that knowing people and faces does not know their hearts.

On weekdays, these people are hiding the desires in their hearts, but now under the chaos of order, the desires hidden in the hearts of these people are completely released at this time.

"Thank you for your kindness, I won't be involved in this."

Chen Xuan shook his head and refused.

He had stockpiled enough food to eat for several months, and the secret medicine he had boiled was enough for him to complete the practice of the dermabrasion realm, and he had also purchased a batch of sand and gravel for dermabrasion, which he could also grind at home.

As long as you stick to it, there is no need to take this risk.

There is food and cultivation resources, so Chen Xuan is not panicked at all.

"Chen Xuan, if you think about it, this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, think about it, now the price of everything is rising, although you are now about to complete the upper body grinding, but if you want to complete the rest of the grinding, you still need at least a few hundred taels of silver, just rely on the people of Changningfang to see a doctor, I don't know how long it will take to earn a few hundred taels of silver."

A warrior said.

"Yes, if you don't take the opportunity to make a lot of money at this time, you won't have such a good opportunity in the future."

Someone spoke.

"No, I'm naturally timid and can't do this job." Chen Xuan shook his head, and then said, "If there is nothing else, please go back!" ”

"Okay!"

Seeing that Chen Xuan began to drive people away, several people also got up and left.

"I really didn't expect that Chen Xuan would reject us."

Leaving Chen Xuan's house, a man with an inch head looked surprised.

"It's okay to refuse, it's completely enough with the strength of a few of us." Another martial artist said: "As long as we are careful, we don't go to those big doors, find a few more small doors, and we can make a lot of money." ”

"You said that Chen Xuan rejected us, will he go to the government to denounce us?"

Someone said worriedly.

"Hey, how do you denounce?" The inch-headed man said coldly: "We didn't do anything, can you just denounce us just because you said a few words?" The government doesn't have the energy to care about such a trivial matter now. ”

"That's just as well."

A few people left, discussing 'which house' they were going to tonight.
