"We are villagers from a nearby village, and we originally went up the mountain to collect medicine, but when we passed by Caishen Town, we wanted to see if there were any valuable things left in Caishen Town, and we accidentally bumped into the heroes for a while, hoping that the heroes would not be blamed."

A man in a short beat spoke in a flustered tone.

"Yes, good man, we are really from the nearby villages, if you don't believe us, you can go back with us to have a look."

Another man also hurriedly spoke.

"Really?"

Jiang Shi looked at them carefully, and saw that they were holding things like steel forks and firewood knives, and there were bamboo baskets behind them, as if they were really going into the mountains to collect medicine.

"What's going on in this town?"

Jiang Shi asked.

"Five days ago, a group of mountain bandits from Qinglong Mountain came down the mountain and swept through Caishen Town overnight, killing the entire Caishen Town."

The man in the short beat spoke.

Jiang Shi frowned secretly.

And so it was.

He thought for a while in his heart, and suddenly looked at this group of men, and said, "You just said that you went up the mountain to collect medicine?" So you're all medicine people. ”

"Yes, the man."

A man spoke.

"Then you have medicinal herbs in your village?"

Jiang Shi asked.

"This..."

Several men glanced at each other, worried.

"Don't worry, I won't be unfavorable to you, I'm going to buy some medicinal herbs from you, I don't know if you can sell them or not?"

Jiang Shi opened his mouth, took out some broken silver directly from his arms, and threw it down as a deposit.

"I don't know what kinds of medicinal herbs a strong man needs?"

A man picked up the broken silver and asked carefully.

Jiang Shi immediately said a few names.

Undoubtedly, they are all used to cultivate the [Red Yang Forging Body Technique].

The faces of those men suddenly changed, and they seemed to be hesitating quickly.

But as soon as he saw the silver in his hand, he quickly let go of his mouth.

"Don't hide it from the strong man, these medicinal materials are indeed available in our village."

The man in the short beat said.

"That's good, take the trouble to lead the way, don't worry, I will never treat you badly."

Jiang Shi smiled.

Several men nodded slowly.

Along the way, Jiang Shi directly asked them about the general situation in the vicinity.

"The strong man doesn't know, now the life of our medicine people has become more and more difficult, in the past, everyone could still make a living by going into the mountains to collect medicine in exchange for some money, but now all the purchased medicinal materials must be handed over to the military, after being selected by the military, the rest is our own, the key is that the medicinal materials taken away by the military are given at a very low price, so that it is difficult for us to make ends meet now."

The man in short clothes sighed, paused and said, "Later, I learned that the medicinal materials that the military took away were extremely important, and they were all used in martial arts, and they didn't seem to be ready to let these medicinal materials flow to the people again. ”

"Really?"

Jiang Shi opened his mouth expressionlessly.

"I see that the medicinal materials bought by the strong man are also forbidden, but fortunately, the people in our village have been collecting medicine for a living for generations, and every household has a lot of private collections, so they can be provided to the strong man."

The man said.

"Don't worry, as long as you can get me medicinal materials, the money is negotiable."

Jiang Shi spoke.

His mind was thinking quickly.

It is estimated that the military's monopoly of medicinal materials is still the first step.

If the world is in turmoil for a long time, it is estimated that other kinds of things will also be monopolized by them one after another.

The people are not making a living, and it is just the beginning...

Half an hour later.

Under the leadership of the two, Jiang Shi finally came to a small mountain village at the foot of the mountain.

The village is not large, with about 100 households.

As soon as he returned, many people from the village gathered.

"Erhuzi is back?"

"Did you pick anything good this time?"

"Damn, the military is now more and more strict, and they don't dare to say anything to the outside and squeeze them internally!"

"Who's to say it isn't? In Fengcheng, bandits and rebels are everywhere, and I don't see them suppressing them, but they want to keep an eye on the three melons and two dates in our hands? ”

Many villagers complained.

But they soon saw Jiang Shi riding on a war horse and holding a mace, and their faces were slightly stunned.

Boy!

It's...

"Village chief, this little brother's name is..."

The man in short clothes ran to an old man in his forties and fifties, and was just about to open his mouth to introduce, when he suddenly said in a tone and hurriedly looked at Jiang Shi.

"In Xiajiangshi, it's just a nobody, come to buy some medicinal materials, don't worry, you will never say much to the outside world."

Jiang Shi spoke.

The old man's heart was awe-inspiring, and he stared at the mace in Jiang Shi's hand tightly.

This thick mace is not low in weight...

And it's covered in blood...

This man has definitely killed people.

He complained a little in his heart that Erhuzi and the others should not bring such unknown people into the village.

But now that the other party is here, if he directly refuses or drives away, he is afraid that he will anger this man, and then it will inevitably bring a bloody disaster.

"Okay, I don't know what kind of medicinal herbs a strong man needs?"

The old man in his forties and fifties asked.

"Can you talk from a different place?"

Jiang Shi smiled.

There are many people, so it's better to avoid it a little.

The village chief nodded slowly, and finally led Jiang Shi to his residence.

Jiang Shi turned over and dismounted, carried a mace, walked into the lobby, and directly said the medicinal materials he needed.

The village chief suddenly frowned, his heart was heavy, and he took a deep look at Jiang Shi.

Sure enough, they are all used to practice martial arts!

And...

It's still hard work!

"Hero, we have medicinal materials, but in terms of price..."

He didn't dare to refuse, because most of the two tigers along the way had already confessed.

"Don't worry, the price is easy to say."

Jiang Shi took out a silver ticket of one thousand taels and put it on the table.

The village chief's eyelids jumped, he took a light breath, and said, "Rong Laoyu will go out to help you collect." ”

"Village chief, the more the merrier, and besides, I may have been living here recently, help me arrange a place to live."

Jiang Shi spoke.

"Live here?"

The village chief was surprised.

"Yes, not in vain!"

Jiang Shi spoke.

The village chief nodded again, put away the silver ticket on the table, and walked straight out.

Nothing unexpected happened.

Jiang Shi was quickly sent by the village chief to arrange a residence and settled in a room with a courtyard.

In the evening, the village chief carried two packages and entered Jiang Shi's residence.

"Good man, are you enough to see this?"

The village chief smiled.

Jiang Shi's eyes flashed, and he stepped forward to examine it carefully, and soon frowned slightly.

There are not many medicinal herbs, and I can use them almost three or four times.

Is this village chief still hiding his secrets?

"Okay, I'll use it first, and ask the village chief to continue to help me collect it."

Jiang Shi spoke.

"Decay as much as possible."

The village chief laughed.

"By the way, don't call me a hero in the future, just call me by my name."

Jiang Shi spoke.

"This... I'll still call you Little Brother Jiang, right? ”

The village chief hesitated.

Jiang Shi nodded slightly.

The village chief quickly took his leave and left.

Jiang Shi directly began to boil water in the courtyard and boiled it.

In a short time, a large vat of medicinal baths was ready.

He took off his clothes, sat directly in the bathtub with his whole body, and began to cultivate the [Red Sun Forging Body Decision].

···

In the other direction.

Escorted by two burly men, Lu Chengtian finally returned to the Yiming Army stronghold and met his father.

"What do you say? You met the Green Forest Army along the way? Is it specifically for you? ”

Lu Chengtian's father was an old man of about sixty, dressed in a purple robe, extremely majestic, his brows furrowed tightly, and he asked.

"Yes father, someone must have leaked my whereabouts, and there are spies in our stronghold."

Lu Chengtian gritted his teeth and whispered.

"Huh?"

Lu Chongshan's eyes narrowed, a cold light appeared, and he said, "Spy? It's actually calculated on my head, are you okay? ”

He looked at Lu Chengtian again.

"Back to my father, I'm fine, thanks to the help of a chivalrous warrior, by the way, that chivalrous warrior is simply weird, born with divine power, infinite strength, and can kill the master of the tenth level of strength with his body alone."

Lu Chengtian's eyes were excited, and he said: "I have never seen such a genius, if I can summon my father, in front of my grandfather in the future, it will be enough to raise my eyebrows, and if he helps, the world can be determined!" ”

"What do you say? Can you kill the master who has entered the tenth level of strength with his physical body alone? ”

Lu Chongshan was shocked.

Are you kidding?

"There is no lie, Fan Hu and Liu Long around me have seen it with their own eyes."

Lu Chengtian said excitedly.

"Yes, Dashuai!"

"It's a pity that we solicited it, and he was unmoved."

The two burly men clenched their fists and said.

"Born Vajra, could it be that this is the second Mengfang?"

Lu Chongshan muttered in a tone.

Mengfang, the governor of Youzhou, was born with King Kong, and a phoenix winged gold boring suppressed the world, so that the major rebels and Jianghu sects could not raise their heads.

It's invincible!

And now another one pops up?

"Where did he go?"

"I went to Caishen Town, father, this person must not be strong, he can only go to invite him in person, and he must bring sincerity."

Lu Chengtian hurriedly spoke.
