"Where did this black bee come from, and why is it so poisonous?" Someone gasped.

"It should be some rare alien beast, the eggs are attached to the trees, and once a person touches it, it will hatch in its body, and then spread rapidly."

Zhao Ya put on gloves and examined the corpse before coming to a conclusion.

Many people's faces have changed.

I thought that this mission would be easy, just cut down trees and clear a part of the mountain forest, but I didn't expect to encounter such a strange thing.

The key is that this is not the same as the fight of real knives and real guns.

You can at least take precautions in advance against real swords and guns, and you may be hit if you don't know what's going on with this thing.

And once he was hit, the death was extremely tragic.

Who can not be afraid.

"Then Master Zhao, let's ...... now What to do? Someone swallowed his saliva with difficulty and asked in fear.

Zhao Ya threw away his gloves and looked at the mountains and forests in front of him.

At this time, this lush forest swayed in the wind, the branches and leaves rattled, and the insects and birds chirped endlessly, and it seemed to be infinitely vibrant.

But Zhao Ya understands that under this interesting appearance, there is actually an infinite killing opportunity.

Last night, the group of strange beasts was obviously much more cunning than they imagined, and they actually knew to leave an ambush in the mountains and forests.

At this point, it is obviously impossible to move on.

Just because you're not afraid of these poisonous bees doesn't mean that others aren't afraid.

So he could only exhale helplessly.

"Withdraw first."

The people withdrew with the bodies of the men in disarray.

The families of the deceased rushed to hear the news and wept bitterly.

The martial arts hall to which it belonged sent people to comfort him with kind words on the side.

Looking at this scene, Zhao Ya's face was a little gloomy.

Someone tapped him on the shoulder.

Zhao Ya looked back and saw that it was his second senior brother Shen Dao.

"Don't blame yourself, everyone knows that dealing with the beast tide will kill people, and no one will blame you." Shen Dao said.

Zhao Ya shook his head, "I didn't blame myself, I just felt a little angry." ”

Shen Dao was stunned, "What do you mean?" ”

"This beast tide is obviously aimed at the entire county, why are the officials and those wealthy clans all hiding in the rear and not coming forward, only letting us warriors rush to the front?" Zhao Ya said coldly.

Shen Dao was stunned when he heard this.

He didn't expect that his little junior brother would be angry about this.

"This ...... Maybe we warriors are used to it! Shen Dao smiled bitterly.

Over the years, everything in the county town has always been solved by the major martial arts halls, and in the long run, everyone has become accustomed to it.

Even the warrior himself didn't feel that there was anything wrong with this.

After all, isn't it to protect the safety of one party by practicing martial arts by himself?

But Zhao Ya didn't think so.

At the beginning, he went to the Shang Mansion to find Shang Luoluo, and wanted to let the county guard Shang Jingchuan come out, but he was refused.

The reason was that Shang Luoluo made it very clear at that time that the government had no intention of interfering in this matter, and even if the martial arts power could be weakened because of this beast tide, it would be the best.

At that time, Zhao Ya returned in vain, and after returning to his master Lu Dingtai, even he was accustomed to this matter, and he didn't think it was outrageous.

But Zhao Ya always felt aggrieved.

Because at that time, he had told Nashang Luoluo that this beast tide was probably extraordinary, and it was definitely not something that could be defended by the warriors.

At that time, Zhao Ya almost said that there were finished eggs under the nest.

Shang Luoluo also agreed to persuade his father.

But after so many days, the government is still indifferent, which shows that Shang Luoluo's persuasion has not worked.

The government forces led by Shang Jingchuan are still dreaming of enjoying the benefits of fishermen.

But where did they think that if this time the matter was a little worse, then the entire county would be destroyed.

As for those wealthy families, they all beat their abacus loudly on weekdays, let alone at this time.

But Zhao Ya didn't want to get used to these people.

He watched silently as his family members carried the body away, then turned and left.

This time he went straight to the government office on Lion Street.

The guard in front of the door naturally recognized him, and knew that this was the young Toshihiko who had been in the limelight recently, and even the county guard valued him a lot, so he didn't dare to stop him, and let him in with a bow.

went around and around, and after seeing the county guard Shang Jingchuan, Zhao Ya was not polite, and went straight to the point: "Lord County Shou, I am here for the beast tide on this trip." ”

The smile on Shang Jingchuan's face did not diminish at all, "The old man shouted Zhao Xian's nephew, I know that you have been running around for the beast tide recently, and I can't hide it, the old man has always wanted to help, but he has no choice but to catch it." ”

Speaking of this, Shang Jingchuan sighed and said helplessly: "Don't look at the old man, I am the county guard of Yunxiao County, in fact, I have neither soldiers nor generals under my command, and I only have a little authority to allocate grain and grass. ”

"The only one who can be mobilized by me is the dozens of pro-soldiers and guards in the government office, if you don't dislike Zhao Xian's nephew, you can take them all away, and I will contribute a sum of money in my personal name, which can be regarded as a contribution to this beast tide."

Zhao Ya didn't say anything, just quietly looked at Shang Jingchuan and complained.

It wasn't until after he finished speaking that Zhao Yafang said, "Are you finished?" ”

Shang Jingchuan's face changed, "Zhao Xian's nephew doesn't believe what the old man said?" ”

"I believe it, of course I believe it, the county keeper enforces the law impartially, and his sleeves are clean, which is indeed praised, but what you did this time is really not authentic."

"What do you mean?"

"Mingren doesn't do dark things, you and I are smart people, so don't go around the corner, you want to rely on this beast tide to weaken the power of our warriors, but do you think you can regain power in this way?"

The smile on Shang Jingchuan's face gradually fell silent.

Because Zhao Ya doesn't play cards according to the routine at all, how can anyone talk like this in the general management field.

These key words hit the nail on the head, and even he couldn't resist it.

He couldn't help but re-examine the bright-eyed young man opposite.

"Isn't Zhao Xian's nephew threatening me?" Shang Jingchuan said lightly.

"Of course not." Zhao Ya shook his head, "I just wanted to tell the county guard a few things. ”

"Please!"

"First of all, the intensity of the beast tide this time will be unprecedented, and I even suspect that there are traces of human manipulation in this, because the behavior of the beast herd is too abnormal."

Zhao Ya concisely recounted the movement of the beasts last night and the ambush in the mountains and forests today.

Shang Jingchuan was silent when he heard this.

"And then?"

"Then, under the beast tide of this intensity, if your government wants to sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight, and finally reap the benefits of the fisherman, it is destined to be only an illusion, because the situation in front of you cannot tolerate the slightest constraint, and the slightest carelessness is in danger of overturning. Of course....... ”

Without waiting for Shang Jingchuan to speak, Zhao Ya continued to speak.

"Does Lord County Guard feel that having the cavalry stationed in Bolingyu will be at ease? In fact, this is a big mistake, not to mention that the leader of the garrison, Wei Hongbin, is despicable, let's just say that in the current situation, if this cavalry does not leave after entering the county town, what should you do? ”

"He dares!" Shang Jingchuan sneered, "He, Wei Hongbin, was born in Jiangmen, how can he not know the Great Yan King Law?" If he really wants to do that, does he still want that head? ”

"The Great Yan King's Law ......." Zhao Ya couldn't help but chuckle.

He finally knew what the biggest problem of people like Shang Jingchuan was.

Such people are clearly still living in their own fantasies.

Now that the chaos in the world has already appeared, the trend of the division of the world's heroes has gradually become clear, and many places, such as the Dancing Elephant City, have not known the king's order for many years, who will take this so-called Great Yan Wang Law seriously?

may have been annoyed by Zhao Ya's attitude.

Shang Jingchuan's face turned pale, "Do you think I'm talking nonsense?" ”

Zhao Ya showed no mercy and nodded: "Yes!" ”

"Hmph, you are young, I don't blame you, but have you thought about it, so even if Wei Hongbin has bad intentions, why does he still dare not enter the city after being stationed in Bolingyu for so many years?"

"Because you have his food and grass in your hands!" Zhao Ya said helplessly.

"Yes, the power of grain and grass supply is in my hands, and Wei Hongbin can't turn the sky if I forgive him."

Since Zhao Ya said everything, Shang Jingchuan simply stopped hiding it, and said very bluntly.

In his concept, he relied on the beast tide to weaken the power of these warriors who never took the government seriously, and then used Wei Hongbin's garrison to drive out the beast tide, and finally profited from it and gained actual control of the county.

This technique of driving away tigers and wolves can be described as perfect.

But Zhao Ya only sneered when he heard this, and he didn't bother to show mercy to this Shang Jingchuan again, so he said directly.

"Lord County Guard, you are the county guard in the city government, but if the rebel army enters the city, do you think you are still the same?"

This question goes straight to the soul.

Shang Jingchuan was stunned for a moment.

Zhao Ya stood up and said, "To be honest, I didn't expect that you are not as mature as your daughter Luoluo girl at your age, Lord Juncheng, do you think that the right to allocate grain and grass can be unscrupulous in your hands?" ”

"Then Wei Hongbin's cavalry listened to you in Bolingyu, but once they entered the city, they could be said to be full of grain and grass, do they still need to obey your orders at that time?"

Shang Jingchuan's face gradually turned pale.

"Then why did he ...... in that case?"

"Because there are many martial arts forces in the county town, these martial artists are united, and even he Wei Hongbin has to weigh it, so the three parties can always maintain this delicate balance."

Zhao Ya directly said the key.

Shang Jingchuan sat down in his chair, his face was pale, and he didn't say a word.

Zhao Ya ignored him.

He knew that people like Shang Jingchuan just read too many books, and he really thought that the reality was just like what was written in the books, and he could command thousands of troops with a token and arrow, and he would be invincible.

In reality, reality is never that simple.

Because real power is always cruel.

To put it bluntly, it is the word awe.

Shang Jingchuan relied on the killer feature of grain and grass supply in the city to pinch Wei Hongbin, Wei Hongbin bowed his head and did not dare to complain, of course, what he was afraid of was not Shang Jingchuan, but the grain and grass in his hands.

And once he took advantage of the situation to enter the city and possess the rich land of the county town, Shang Jingchuan's power would naturally become invalid.

At this time, Zhao Ya rushed to the screen and said, "Luoluo girl, I've been listening to it behind the screen for so long, and you still refuse to show up?" ”

A silver bell-like laugh came from behind the screen, and then a charming woman turned out, it was Shang Luoluo.

"It's not that the little woman refuses to show up, but I'm really fascinated by Zhao Gongzi's wonderful analysis just now."

Shang Luoluo's eyes were indeed full of amazement and admiration.

She just couldn't figure it out.

How can a young man who has only turned 20 have such a keen and clear understanding of the situation?

In particular, the sentence that the three parties maintained a weak balance made Shang Luoluo secretly exclaim.

"Miss Luoluo laughed, you must have had these thoughts for a long time."

Shang Luoluo shook his head, "Yes, yes, but it is far from being as clear and clear as Zhao Gongzi. ”

With that, she turned to look at her father.

"Father, you heard what Zhao Gongzi said just now, so don't have those unrealistic ideas anymore, and unite with Zhao Gongzi and them as soon as possible to ensure that the county can survive this crisis safely. You don't want to see the lives of the people in the city. ”

Shang Jingchuan had gradually regained his consciousness at this time, and he smiled bitterly when he heard this.

"I know, I was a little naïve for my father before."

Saying that, he sat up straight and looked at Zhao Ya with a solemn face.

"The government can fully support you, but it is not enough for us alone."

Zhao Ya nodded, "Of course, those wealthy families can't stay out of the matter, I'm going to find them next." ”

Shang Jingchuan sighed, "Then you have to be prepared to fail, after all, those wealthy families are different from me, they all have a way out, and it's a big deal to abandon the city, so they may not be willing to make a move." ”

"How do you know if you don't try, and at this time, do you think they can still get out of the city?" Zhao Ya sneered.

"You mean ......."

"I don't mean anything, it's just that this time the beast tide has polluted the mountains and forests, and the road must be full of ambushes, so it's not so easy to leave at this time."

After that, Zhao Ya turned around and was about to leave.

Shang Luoluo suddenly called out to him, "Wait a minute." ”

"What's the matter with Miss Shang?" Zhao Ya stopped and asked.

"I'll go with you, after all, I know all those wealthy families in the city, and I have to give some thin noodles if I go to them." Shang Luoluo swept the sideburns around his ears and said with a smile.

Zhao Ya thought for a moment, then nodded and said, "Okay, then I'll trouble you." ”

After leaving the mansion, Zhao Ya took the lead in asking, "Where does the Zhu family live?" ”

Shang Luoluo was a little surprised, "Zhao Gongzi plans to take this Zhu family first?" ”

"Hmmm! No way? ”

"Yes, yes, it's just that the Zhu family is huge, and I heard that they have connections in the capital, but it's a hard nut to bite."

"No matter how hard it is, you have to gnaw!"

The reason why Zhao Ya chose to take the Zhu family first was that some time ago, the batch of cloth armor materials stolen from Yongsheng Cloth Village was sold to the Zhu family.

Presumably, he must have hidden the cloth armor in his house at this time.

Although this thing is weaker to deal with swords, it is perfect for dealing with poisonous bees in the mountains and forests today.

Shang Luoluo took Zhao Ya to the Zhu family, and met Zhu Zihao, the head of the Zhu family, very smoothly.

This is a middle-aged man with a big belly, who looks very rich and kind.

After seeing Zhao Ya and Shang Luo, he greeted him with a smile.

"Luoluo, is this Zhao Shaoxia, who has been in the limelight recently?"

"Yes, Uncle Zhu, this is Zhao Ya and Zhao Gongzi." Shang Luoluo introduced.

"Alas, I already know what happened outside the city today, you guys are running for the people of the city, it's really admirable, my Zhu family is willing to give three thousand taels of gold as help, how about it?"

Without waiting for Zhao Ya to speak, Zhu Zihao had already taken the lead in speaking, and one mouth was three thousand taels of gold, which was not a big deal.

Unexpectedly, Zhao Ya shook his head.

Zhu Zihao laughed, "Is it too little?" Then five thousand taels of gold, plus a batch of jerky, this is the greatest sincerity of my Zhu family. ”

The words are also reminding Zhao Ya not to be too greedy.

Zhao Ya said: "The head of the Zhu family misunderstood, I didn't come here to ask for money. ”

"Oh? So what do you want? ”

"Cloth armor." Zhao Ya said these two words very calmly.

Zhu Zihao also quieted down, staring at Zhao Ya with a pair of toad-like eyes.

After a long time, Zhu Zihao suddenly smiled.

"Blame me, blame me, why didn't you expect that the batch of fabrics stolen by the Ning family before was found by Zhao Shaoxia."

"It's a pity, Zhao Shaoxia, you're late, that batch of cloth armor materials has been sent to the capital by me, and they haven't stayed in Yunxiao County at all."

Zhao Ya didn't speak, just looked at Zhu Zihao coldly.

Zhu Zihao stood there with a smile, but gradually, the smile on his face gradually stiffened, and a trace of cold sweat appeared on his forehead.

He also has a two-realm cultivation, but it was purely practiced to enhance his physique, and he had never fought in actual combat at all, how could he compare to the momentum of a four-realm martial artist like Zhao Ya, who fought with one knife and one shot.

At this time, the guards beside him also noticed something strange and were about to step forward.

Suddenly, Zhao Ya spoke: "Did the head of the Zhu family know that this beast tide has polluted the mountains and forests, even if you want to leave, it is estimated that it will be difficult." ”

Zhu Zihao's face changed wildly, "Are you threatening me?" ”

"Whether it's a threat or not, the head of the Zhu family will send a few people out to have a try." Zhao Ya said coldly.

The cold sweat on Zhu Zihao's face came out all of a sudden.

The reason why he was so calm and relaxed before was that he felt that it was a big deal to abandon the city and leave, so why should he live and die with this county town.

But now Zhao Ya's words ruthlessly shattered his illusions.

"Of course, if the head of the Zhu family insists on leaving, I won't stop it, but it's thousands of miles away from the capital, and it's really hard to predict what will happen on the way."

After that, Zhao Ya got up and was about to leave.

At this moment, Zhu Zihao suddenly called out to him.

"Wait a minute!"

"What else is the matter with the head of the Zhu family?"

"I suddenly remembered that there was still a batch of leftover cloth armor in the storeroom, about three hundred, was it enough?"

Zhao Ya smiled slightly, "Five hundred." ”

Zhu Zihao gritted his teeth, "Okay!" I'll search again, and I should be able to make it up. ”

"Then thank you to the head of the Zhu family."

After that, Zhao Ya took Shang Luoluo and left.

As soon as he walked out of the gate of the Zhu family, Shang Luoluo looked at Zhao Ya twice, and suddenly laughed.

"What are you laughing at?" Zhao Ya was a little inexplicable.

"You just bargained like a profiteer."

"Hehe, no matter how much rape there are, can there still be these wealthy traitors?"

"Seriously, I didn't expect Zhu Zihao to give you face like this, five hundred pieces of cloth armor, now his Zhu family is bleeding heavily." Shang Luoluo said with a smile.

"He didn't give me face, but gave face to all the martial arts halls in the city."

"Now almost all the martial arts halls in the city have been united in one place, this force is so strong, not to mention his Zhu family, even if these wealthy families are tied together, they have to bow down, and I came this time, on behalf of all the martial artists in the city, you say, does he dare not bow his head?" Zhao Ya said lightly.

Looking at the young man in front of him who scolded Fang Xuan and looked at the wealthy clan in the city, Shang Luoluo suddenly felt a little trance.

"Are you listening?" Zhao Ya saw that Shang Luoluo hadn't spoken, and couldn't help but ask strangely.

"Ah...... Let's go to the next house and try to make the whole city bleed before it gets dark. ”

Don't think that the attitude of these wealthy families is unreal, think that Li Zicheng's army surrounded BJ City, Chongzhen raised military salaries, and his father-in-law was rich enough to rival the country, but he was only willing to pay 30,000 taels of silver, and kept crying poor. And after the city was broken, his own family alone was tortured out of millions of taels of silver.
