Chapter 155: Undercurrent
This sudden scene made many people stunned.
"Nie Jingnian? Isn't he the senior brother of the Renyong Martial Arts Pavilion, what is this for? ”
"I heard that he was originally in charge of the south gate, but because he was injured and unable to defend, he was deceived by Yu Guizhi of the Chenfeng Martial Arts Pavilion, which caused Wei Hongbin's cavalry to enter the city."
"Alas, if I want to say this, I don't blame him, after all, who would have expected the people of the Chenfeng Martial Arts Pavilion to do such a thing before?"
"But no matter how you say it, the city gate was also lost from him, and he really can't get out of it."
In the midst of the discussion, Nie Jingnian bowed his head and remained silent, looking like he would never return the word if he pleaded guilty to punishment and accepted punishment.
Shang Tiefeng sat on a chair and sipped his tea, as if he didn't see his disciple kneeling on the ground.
At this moment, a warm hand reached out diagonally and put it on Nie Jingnian's shoulder.
Nie Jingnian looked up and saw Zhao Ya standing in front of him, looking at him with a smile.
"Okay, hurry up, everyone doesn't blame you, after all, you were injured to defend the city gate, then Yu Guizhi stole the city gate while you were unprepared, if you want to blame them, how can you blame you?"
Saying that, Zhao Ya looked at everyone, "What do you think?" ”
Now Zhao Ya's prestige among the martial artists in the county city is very high, after all, if he hadn't insisted on this beast tide, it would have been impossible to repel it so quickly.
Now that he has spoken, everyone naturally echoes him.
"That's right, Senior Brother Nie, no one blames you for this matter, and you don't have to put so much pressure on yourself, hurry up!"
"yes, get up!"
In the midst of the hustle and bustle, Nie Jingnian stood up, then lowered his head and whispered to Zhao Ya.
"Thank you."
Zhao Ya smiled and didn't say anything.
He knew Nie Jingnian's temper very well, and knew that this person couldn't hide things in his heart, and he had to say something if he had something to say.
This incident obviously caused him a lot of pressure, which is why he made the amazing act of kneeling in public.
And in the face of such a situation, Shang Tiefeng, as his master, would definitely not be able to speak.
After all, no matter what he says, it will look embarrassing.
It is best to come forward by yourself.
At this time, Zhao Ya hugged his fist at everyone, "Everyone, I believe everyone has understood the situation in the city now, since Wei Hongbin's entry into the city has become a fact, then we must unite even more, so that we will not be manipulated by it." ”
The crowd agreed.
"Brother Xiao Zhao is right!"
"Just listen to Senior Brother Zhao, whoever dares to be cautious and destroy unity, I will be the first to kill him."
"The old man also fully supports."
For a while, the crowd was turbulent, Zhao Ya thanked them one by one, and then everyone dispersed.
Shang Tiefeng was the last to go, and before leaving, he suddenly patted Zhao Ya on the shoulder.
"Xiaoya, this time, thanks to you."
Zhao Ya knew that he was talking about Nie Jingnian, and couldn't help but smile.
"Uncle Shang is polite, Jing Nian and I are friends, even if others don't help in this matter, I have to help."
Shang Tiefeng nodded, looked at no one on the left and right, and then lowered his voice and said, "How is your master?" ”
Naturally, there is no need to hide it from Shang Tiefeng, Zhao Ya sighed.
"I just came from behind, and the condition is still not good, I have been in a coma, obviously hurting the fundamental qi and blood."
Shang Tiefeng was silent for a moment when he heard this, and then took out a small box from his arms and handed it to Zhao Ya.
"This is the healing elixir I got when I walked the rivers and lakes, it came from the hands of a famous artist, the effect is very good, see if you can help your master."
Zhao Ya didn't shirk either.
At this time, it would be hypocritical to push back and hold back.
So he reached out and took the locket, and hugged his fist very solemnly.
"Thank you, Uncle Shang."
Shang Tiefeng smiled.
"Okay, it's all my own family, so what are you doing politely, but I have to remind you of something."
Speaking of this, Shang Tiefeng's face became serious.
"If you trample a cavalryman to death in the street this time, then Wei Hongbin will never give up, and it is very likely that he will point the finger at you, do you know why?"
Zhao Ya was silent for a moment, and then said, "Because of my master." ”
"That's right, your master's injury can't be hidden, although Lao Jin and I are also injured, but at least the two of us can move freely, and outsiders can't see the clues, so naturally we don't dare to act rashly."
"But your master Lao Lu is unconscious, and this time it puts you and the Dingtai Martial Arts Hall in an extremely dangerous situation, especially Yuan Chenfeng, this person has a narrow heart, and he must compare, when you beat his two apprentices in a row, he has long held a grudge, but because of your master, he didn't dare to do it."
"Now with Wei Hongbin's power, he will definitely make some moves, although you and I are in the same breath, I will never stand idly by, but there has always been only a thousand days to be a thief, there is no thousand days to prevent thieves, Lao Jin and I also have to heal in secret, it is impossible to stare at it every day, so you and your brothers and sisters also have to cheer up and take precautions."
Hearing Shang Tiefeng's words, Zhao Ya was very moved.
Because he could see that this old man really cared for himself as a junior, and his words were completely from the bottom of his heart.
So he hugged his fist very solemnly.
"Thank you Master Shang for your teachings, I know it in my heart."
"That's good, I'm still more at ease when you do things, remember, if there are no special circumstances during this time, try to go out as little as possible, and notify me and Lao Jin as soon as possible if there is anything, and when your master wakes up, the situation will improve."
"Yes!"
Shang Tiefeng left.
Today's battle in the mountains and forests caused him to suffer a lot of internal injuries, but he has been relying on his profound skills to support him.
After he went back, he had to quickly close the door to heal his injuries, otherwise once he left the root of the disease, it would be troublesome.
As soon as Shang Tiefeng was seen to leave, Jiao Yousong from the Guangrui Martial Arts Hall came.
Although Zhao Ya didn't get along with him for a long time, he only had a brief contact when defending the north gate.
But now the two have a tacit understanding like old friends for many years, Jiao Yousong took out a delicate small jar and handed it to Zhao Ya.
"This is the secret blood circulation and stasis removal ointment of our martial arts hall, which has a miraculous effect on the treatment of trauma and bone cracks, Master asked me to bring it to you to see if I can help Uncle Lu."
Zhao Ya took the jar and thanked him solemnly again.
Hearing this, Jiao Yousong touched his shiny head with his hand, and said with a smile.
"It's all my own brothers, why are you so polite? My master said that during this time, the Dingtai Martial Arts Hall may have a lot of events, anyway, I am idle and idle, and I will come over every day in the future to see who is so short-sighted and dares to come here to make trouble. ”
In the end, a trace of murderous intent flashed on Jiao Yousong's face.
Obviously, this man who looks honest and sturdy is actually not a good stubble.
"There is Senior Brother Lao Jiao, but there is no need to make such a big battle, if there is really something, I will inform you, and I hope that Senior Brother Jiao will help when the time comes."
"That's natural, it just so happens that I've been a little tired of killing strange beasts recently, and I want to kill a few people to relieve my tiredness." Jiao Yousong said with a smile.
After he left, Zhao Ya took the wound medicine sent by the two families back to the back house.
Lu Dingtai is still in a coma.
Meng Shiwen, Shen Daomiao, Shaocheng, Xu De and others were all waiting in the house at this time.
Meng Shiwen's eyes were red, and she had obviously just cried.
She has followed Lu Dingtai since she was a child, and Lu Dingtai is also a master and a father to her, and her feelings are naturally very deep.
Zhao Ya sighed secretly in his heart, walked to the bed and patted Meng Shiwen.
"Senior sister, don't be sad, Master, his old man is just a little injured, and he will be fine after a few days of recuperation, this is the medicine sent by the two martial arts halls of Guangrui and Renyong, you can use it for Master."
Meng Shiwen nodded when she heard this, took the medicine box, first poured the medicine taken internally into Lu Dingtai, and then applied the blood-activating and stasis cream on Lu Dingtai's hands, and finally bandaged it again.
After all this, I saw that Lu Dingtai's breathing seemed to be much calmer.
Meng Shiwen breathed a sigh of relief slightly, and then said: "A few of you are very tired after fighting all day today, go down and rest, just keep an eye on me here." ”
"Then what's going on, senior sister, you're also tired today, so I'll serve you." Xu De stepped forward and made his debut.
"No one should fight, it's still a woman who is careful about serving patients, so it's better for me, the senior sister, to come." Meng Shiwen insisted.
Shen Dao, Zhao Ya and the others glanced at each other, so they had no choice but to say yes, and then retreated.
In this kind of extraordinary period, everyone naturally will not leave the martial arts hall, and even Xu De has found a room to live in.
After a few days of fighting, everyone is indeed tired.
I washed up hastily and fell asleep without even eating dinner.
After a few moments, there was a loud snoring.
Zhao Ya didn't sleep.
He closed his eyes and recuperated, silently adjusting his qi and blood, and did not get up until Dingchangtian.
After coming to the courtyard, there were martial arts hall disciples patrolling the night, and the defense could be described as strict.
However, this did not bother Zhao Ya at all, and after performing the breath, Zhao Ya fell into the darkness silently, and disappeared after a few ups and downs.
The back house of the merchant house.
In a small bamboo garden, Shang Luoluo and Zui'er sat opposite each other, drinking tea and talking.
But it can be seen that the drunken child is not giving up, his mind is not on this at all, and a pair of eyes are looking straight out of the door, as if he is waiting for something.
Shang Luoluo naturally knew what Zui'er was waiting for, and he couldn't help but laugh secretly in his heart.
This little girl is really infatuated.
"Drunk, it's so late, I guess your little cliff brother won't come, let's sleep first, what's the matter tomorrow, how about it?"
Zui'er shook her head stubbornly, "No, Sister Luoluo, if you are sleepy, go to sleep, I'll wait here." ”
Shang Luoluo couldn't help but laugh when he heard this, "Then what if your little brother doesn't come overnight?" ”
"Then I'll just wait here all night, isn't it easy?" Drunken looked like a matter of course.
Shang Luoluo was stunned, obviously she didn't expect Zui'er to answer like this, and then she sighed faintly and muttered in a low voice: "What a stupid girl." ”
At this moment, the bamboo forest outside the window rattled, and then I heard a person laugh loudly: "My drunken child is not stupid." ”
"Brother Xiaoya!"
Hearing this, the drunken child was overjoyed, got up and ran out of the door.
At this time, I saw Zhao Ya walking in from outside the door, and Zui'er didn't care if there was anyone present, and threw himself into his arms.
Zhao Ya smiled and patted her back, "Okay, okay, I'm back." Someone's here, don't look like that. ”
Only then did the drunken er stand up with a blushing face, not daring to look up at Shang Luoluo.
But Shang Luoluo was looking at the moonlight outside the window the whole time, as if he was thinking about how the moon was so round today.
It wasn't until Zui'er stood up that she turned a pair of wonderful eyes to look at Zhao Ya, and then smiled slightly.
"You can count it as coming, if you don't come, it is estimated that the soul of your drunken child will fly away."
The drunk's face suddenly turned redder, and he whispered.
"Talent...... Not really. ”
Zhao Ya hugged her behind him so that she would not be so embarrassed, and then said with a smile.
"Okay, don't tease her, she has a tender face."
"You know she's ashamed, and she's so late?"
"I'm sorry, I'm late because I'm late."
"Don't be sorry to me, I didn't wait for you." Shang Luoluo said with a smile.
Zhao Ya also smiled.
He knew that this woman was eccentric, and she had always refused to forgive people in her mouth.
"Thank you then."
"Thank me for what?"
"Thank you for helping me take care of the drunken."
Before going out of the city to face the strange beast, for the sake of the drunken child's safety, Zhao Ya thought twice, and finally sent her to Shangluoluo.
There are two reasons for this.
One is because with the exhaustion of the elite of the Dingtai Martial Arts Gym, and even Lu Dingtai has taken action, the Martial Arts Gym is no longer safe, but more dangerous.
After all, after those strange beasts or people with ill intentions enter the city, the first thing they have to deal with must be the major martial arts halls.
The second is that because Shang Luoluo is cautious, there are secret rooms and tunnels dug in the house, and if something earth-shattering happens, you can hide and temporarily stay safe.
Of course, the reason why Zhao Ya knew about this was because Shang Luoluo told him.
After some comprehensive consideration, Zhao Ya finally decided to send Zui'er to the Shang Mansion to hide.
This is also the reason why Zhao Ya said before that he sent Zui'er to a very safe place.
After listening to Zhao Ya's thanks, Shang Luo pouted.
"No sincerity, how can you thank people like this."
"How do you thank you?"
"I'm going to bring a few things."
"Next time, next time."
Speaking of this, Zhao Ya and Shang Luoluo looked at each other and smiled.
"Sit down and have a cup of tea." Shang Luoluo said.
Zhao Ya nodded, "Okay!" ”
Because Zhao Ya knew that Shang Luoluo was definitely not simply inviting herself to tea, she must have something to say to herself.
It just so happened that I was going to ask her something.
A small tea table, Zhao Ya and Shang Luoluo sat opposite each other.
The drunken child sat on the other side.
The silver-gray charcoal fire made the water in the pot tumble, and Shang Luoluo skillfully picked it up and poured the water into the teacup.
The color of the teacup is lush, and the turquoise tea is very pleasing to the eye.
And with the soaking of hot water, a smell of tea fragrance spreads, refreshing people's hearts.
Although Zhao Ya is not good at this, he can also smell the extraordinaryness of this tea.
"It is a drip bud produced in Guangyuan County, which only produces 1,000 catties every year, and most of it is sent to the capital, and a small bag is worth 100 taels." Shang Luoluo introduced.
Zhao Ya took a sip, and he did feel that his mouth and nose were fragrant, but then he put the cup down.
"It's delicious, but it's too expensive."
"Is it expensive? This is still cheap, and among those wealthy families in the capital, there may even be a housekeeper who drinks this kind of tea. Shang Luoluo said lightly.
Zhao Ya was silent.
He knew that Shang Luo meant something.
