"Master Zhao, recently, the level of alien beasts outside the city has been getting higher and higher, and the team that went out of the city to round up alien beasts has also begun to have casualties, and even a few masters of the Three Realms have almost failed to come back." The big-eyed lamp reported to Zhao Ya the recent situation in the city.

"Oh? Do you know what kind of beasts are hurting these Three Realm martial artists? Zhao Ya immediately asked.

"I inquired about it, and it seems that I was injured by a strange beast in the form of an ape."

Today's big-eyed lamp seems to be the leader of the group of children in the slums of the county.

Don't look at this group of children from humble backgrounds, but because there are many people in the slums, and many of the miscellaneous disciples of the major martial arts halls live in the slums, so the news is very well-informed.

After listening to the report of the big eye lamp, Zhao Ya was silent in thought.

The big-eyed lamp didn't dare to speak, and waited quietly.

"You have done a good job, in the future, if there is any news about the strange beasts outside the city, notify me as soon as possible."

"Yes!"

Zhao Ya gave the big eye lamp another sum of money.

Getting messages is never simple.

Even these kids have to spend a lot of energy trying to get useful information.

Therefore, Zhao Ya has never been stingy.

Every time he got a piece of news, Zhao Ya would take out a sum of money to give the big eye lamp, so that he could reward his children well to win people's hearts.

It's a long-term investment, but it's paying off.

At least now if there is something going on inside and outside the county, Zhao Ya will always know it at the first time.

So Zhao Ya felt that the money was too well spent.

After the big-eyed lamp left, Zhao Ya paced back and forth in the courtyard, thinking about it.

Obviously, it should be the ghost-faced giant ape that injured those Three Realms martial artists that he encountered.

And when he thought of the terrifying power of the giant ape, Zhao Ya's mood became heavier and heavier.

No way.

This matter has to be reported to the Master so that we can take precautions in advance.

Thinking of this, Zhao Ya immediately came to the martial arts hall.

When he met Lu Dingtai, Zhao Ya told him what had happened recently.

After listening, Lu Dingtai was silent for a moment, and then asked, "You mean to say that this beast tide may be very unusual?" ”

"That's right, you know, I encountered the Giant Winged Blood Bat in the crypt before, and if this level of beast appears in the beast tide, it will be troublesome."

There is another point that Zhao Ya did not say explicitly.

Not to mention the giant-winged blood bat, even if the number of alien beasts like the ghost-faced giant ape increases, if it forms a group, the lethality will be very terrifying.

After all, there are not many martial artists at the peak of the three realms in the entire county city, and a martial artist of the same level has not been able to deal with this ghost-faced giant ape, unless he has a secret skill, he is very likely to lose.

Pan Xuexian of the Hundred Steps Martial Arts Hall before is a living example.

If it weren't for his superb archery skills to delay time, he might not have been able to hold out to Zhao Ya at all.

It is precisely because of this that Zhao Ya attaches so much importance to this matter as if he is facing a great enemy.

And Lu Dingtai is not a fool, after hearing Zhao Ya's inference, he also realized the seriousness of the problem.

"If that's the case, you really should pay attention, in this way, I'll notify the major martial arts halls and let them all take precautions, and you should also contact the people you know as much as possible and make all preparations."

Once the decision was made, Lu Dingtai could be described as resolute, without even a moment's delay, and immediately began to prepare.

And after receiving Master's support, Zhao Ya was also encouraged.

He had been worried that no one would believe him if he told the inferences, or that even if he did, he would just laugh at them.

Because the mentality of many people in the county town is disdainful, in their opinion, the county town is protected by towering city walls, and there are major martial arts halls in the city.

Even if the beast tide is really fierce this time, it is a big deal to invite the garrisons around the county town, which is not worth mentioning at all.

But if Lu Dingtai came forward in person, the effect would be different.

After all, he has been famous for many years and is one of the few masters in the county.

The words that came out of his mouth were much heavier than Zhao Ya's.

Soon, several senior brothers in the martial arts hall learned the news.

"You say that this beast tide is likely to be very violent?" Miao Shaocheng asked.

Zhao Ya nodded.

Shen Dao, Miao Shaocheng and Xu De glanced at each other, their faces a little solemn.

If someone else had said so, they might not have believed it at all.

But the key speaker is Zhao Ya.

For this little junior brother, they are very convinced.

"If it's really as Xiao Ya said, even if there are no beasts in the Five Realms, that ghost-faced giant ape alone is difficult enough, and the county city is very likely to suffer a catastrophe!" Shen Dao said worriedly.

"What if the garrison is dispatched? As far as I know, there are at least 10,000 Dayan Iron Horsemen stationed in Bolingyu, not far from our county seat, and this team should be able to turn the tide at a critical moment! Miao Shaocheng said worriedly.

"Huh." Xu De on the side sneered when he heard this, "Third Senior Brother, you are so naïve, if that iron horse can't come, if you really enter the city, it won't be so easy to invite you out." ”

"How?"

"Do you know who the leader of this Great Yan Iron Cavalry is now?"

"How do I know that?"

"This person's name is Wei Hongbin, he is a member of the Wei family in the Great Yan Capital, his cultivation is very high, I heard that he was already a half-step martial artist in the Five Realms a few years ago, but he is greedy and cruel."

"He has long coveted the prosperity of the county, but he doesn't dare to make a mistake because of the military order."

"When the time comes, if it is really because of the beast tide to invite him to go out, then it will be easy to invite God and difficult to send God."

After listening to Xu De's narration, even Zhao Ya couldn't help but be surprised.

Miao Shaocheng even asked: "Fourth, how do you know so clearly?" ”

Xu De smiled bitterly and said: "In addition to the inn accident, we also have some other transactions, which just need to pass through this Bolingyu where Wei Hongbin is stationed, so the elders in the family often deal with him, so they naturally know his character very well." ”

Speaking of this, Xu De stood up and hugged his fist at Zhao Ya.

"Thank you junior brother for providing such an important piece of news, I want to go back and report this matter to my family as soon as possible, so that the family can also take precautions in advance."

"Senior brother is polite, let's go!" Zhao Ya replied.

Xu De nodded and left in a hurry.

After he left, Shen Dao and Miao Shaocheng couldn't sit still, and each went to inform their relatives and friends.

Zhao Ya didn't have so many relationships with them.

The only friend Nie Jingnian has already written to inform him in advance.

But he was not idle, and after a moment of silence, he came to the back house of the martial arts hall and met his senior sister Meng Shiwen.

After the last time Zhao Ya stood up for her, the relationship between their senior sister and brother became much closer.

When Meng Shiwen was fine, she often went to Zhao Ya's house to chat with drunken children.

But when Zhao Ya found her this time and said what she thought, Meng Shiwen was still surprised.

"Do you want me to take you to see Shang Luoluo?"

"Yes!" Zhao Ya nodded.

"Do you want to tell her about this, and then use her to influence the county guard Shang Jingchuan?" Meng Shiwen Bingxue was smart, and after thinking about it, she understood what Zhao Ya meant.

"Yes, after all, this matter is very important, it is impossible to defend it by oneself, it is only possible to work together and unite as one, which requires someone to take the lead, and Shang Jingchuan, who is the county guard, is naturally suitable."

"I remember that you have a good relationship with Shang Jingchuan, and he also appreciates you very much, why don't you go to him directly?"

Zhao Ya smiled bitterly, "How can it be so simple, in the end, this matter is just a speculation of mine until now, Shang Jingchuan can't be so easily moved by me." ”

"Then you're sure you can impress Shang Luoluo?"

"I'm not sure, but I have to give it a try, and with your help, senior sister, the success rate should be much greater."

Zhao Ya was very calm, and almost told me that I wanted to use your relationship with Shang Luoluo.

Meng Shiwen also heard the meaning, but she was not disgusted at all, but smiled slightly.

"Okay, in that case, then I'll accompany you on a trip."

There was nothing to say on the road, and after arriving at the Shang Mansion, the people in front of the door recognized Meng Shiwen and knew that she had a very good relationship with her own young lady, so they didn't report it to the inside, and let her in directly.

After going around and around to the living room, someone brought refreshments, and the two waited patiently.

I didn't have to wait long, that is, the scene of a meal, when I heard laughter from outside the door.

"Rare guest, really rare guest, I didn't expect Zhao Gongzi, who is famous in the county town, to come to the door in person, it's really an honor for the little girl."

As he spoke, Shang Luoluo lifted the curtain and walked in.

Today she was wearing a pale blue dress, and her eyebrows were picturesque, and when she walked in, the room was bright.

Zhao Ya got up and clenched his fists, "Shang girl!" ”

Shang Luoluo pursed his lips and smiled, "I haven't seen you for many days, and Zhao Gongzi is more heroic and upright." ”

"Miss Shang has become beautiful too!"

"Really? I've been practicing beauty martial arts lately, and I really feel like I've changed a bit! Shang Luoluo said in surprise.

After being polite and taking a seat, Shang Luoluo asked: "Zhao Gongzi has nothing to do but go to the Three Treasures Palace, say, what is the matter with me today, but if I can help, I will never refuse." ”

Zhao Ya didn't hide it, and immediately told the story.

After listening, Shang Luoluo did not show the slightest panic, but lowered his head very calmly and thought about it.

Zhao Ya waited quietly.

After about half a minute, Shang Luoluo raised his head, "I understand what Zhao Gongzi meant, you want me to persuade my father to pay attention to this matter, it is best to take precautions, and start preparations in the name of the government now, right?" ”

"That's right!"

Unexpectedly, Shang Luoluo actually shook his head and sighed: "I'm sorry, please forgive me for not being able to do anything." ”

Zhao Ya and Meng Shiwen were all stunned.

Neither of them expected Shang Luoluo to refuse.

Meng Shiwen couldn't help but say: "Luoluo......." ”

"Shiwen, there is no need to say it, I know what you want to say, but I have a reason to refuse."

Shang Luoluo looked at Zhao Ya, "Zhao Gongzi, you can see a small thing in a small matter, and you don't take precautions, just this little girl admires very much, but do you think that the government will not know about the beast tide outside the city?" ”

Zhao Ya was slightly stunned, "You mean ......." ”

"That's right, the government knows that the beast tide is gradually escalating."

Zhao Ya was stunned, as if he had thought of something.

"Then why didn't the government come forward?" Meng Shiwen asked.

This time, without waiting for Shang Luoluo to answer, Zhao Ya suddenly sighed and said, "Because this is exactly what they want." ”

Shang Luoluo secretly praised, what a smart young man, so he nodded and said, "That's right, that's it." ”

"For the government, no matter how strong this beast tide is, it is just a problem of scabies, and if a few more warriors die because of this, it will even ......."

Shang Luoluo looked at Zhao Ya and Meng Shiwen and said.

"If even these martial arts halls in the city are overturned because of this, it will be even better for the government."

Hearing these shocking words, Meng Shiwen's face turned pale and muttered to herself.

"But...... Why! ”

"Because chivalry is forbidden by martial arts, warriors are inherently uncontrolled, and the stronger they are, the more so." Zhao Ya sighed again.

Shang Luoluo's eyes lit up, "Chivalry is forbidden by martial arts, what Zhao Gongzi said is really good, that's right, for the government, naturally I don't want to rule too many martial artists like Zhao Gongzi or Lingshi, that is the biggest threat to them." ”

In fact, the decline of Dayan is also directly related to the increasing prosperity of martial arts.

In the face of powerful warriors, the role of the government is getting smaller and smaller.

The county town is better, such as the Dancing Elephant City where Zhao Ya was before, and the official mansion has been completely reduced to the background.

Even the county towns with stronger government power have gradually changed from dominance to mascots.

At most, it's just a matter of posting some bounty quests, and nothing else is useful at all.

When people encounter something, the first thing they think of is not to report to the official, but to find a familiar martial arts master to solve it.

Naturally, this phenomenon cannot be tolerated by a person like Shang Jingchuan, who was born as a traditional civil official.

That's why they kept silent about this incident.

At this point, it's useless to say anything more.

Zhao Ya stood up and thanked him: "Thank you Miss Shang for telling me directly." ”

Zhao Ya is sincere thanks.

Because Shang Luoluo doesn't need to say this, just pretend to accept it, and then find a reason to prevaricate.

But she was very honest about everything.

You must know that the other party can be her father.

Shang Luoluo waved his hand, "Zhao Gongzi doesn't have to be like this, in fact, I should thank you more, you can run back and forth for the affairs of a city, just this chivalrous heart is enough to be admirable." ”

Zhao Ya smiled bitterly.

He is actually not as noble as Shang Luoluo thought.

He just didn't want his newly settled self to fall into displacement again.

In particular, the top and bottom of the Dingtai Martial Arts Hall are very harmonious, the master takes a lot of care of himself, and several senior brothers take good care of him.

He didn't want anything to happen to the people around him.

Zhao Ya naturally wouldn't say these words.

He looked at Shang Luoluo very calmly.

"Miss Shang, I have a few last words I want to tell you."

"Zhao Gongzi, please speak."

"First of all, the strength of this beast tide is likely to exceed everyone's imagination, and the government's desire to eliminate the martial forces through this matter is tantamount to setting fire to self-immolation."

"I'm not alarmist, I'm just stating a fact, of course, I can probably guess Ling Zun's thoughts, he probably wants to move the garrison of Bolingyu at a critical moment."

"But it's easy to please God, and once this garrison enters the city, it's hard for anyone to predict what will happen, so I hope Miss Shang had better persuade Ling Zun again."

Shang Luoluo listened with a solemn face.

"Okay, I'll do my best!"

"Farewell!"
