Chapter 164: Calm is needed when facing major events
Zhao Ya nodded, "Don't worry, I'm not stupid enough to assassinate Wei Hongbin alone." ”
There is a sentence that Zhao Ya did not say, that is, even if he wants to assassinate this Wei Hongbin, he can't be in his home field, but must find a way to lure him out first.
Shang Luoluo chuckled when he heard this, and spread his hands.
"To be honest, I only brought you a message because of my father's entrustment, in fact, I am not worried about you at all, after all, judging from what you have done, you will never put yourself in an insoluble danger, which is much more stable than ordinary martial artists."
Zhao Ya couldn't laugh or cry, but he didn't refute it.
Because what Shang Luoluo said was indeed the truth.
Even when the beast tide was attacking the city, Zhao Ya was still sure enough to retreat.
For this reason, he even entrusted the drunken child to Shang Luoluo in advance, in order to solve his worries.
It's the same now, don't look at Wei Hongbin's menacing, but Zhao Ya has never regarded him as such a powerful enemy.
It's a big deal to take the drunken child and the master out of the city first, and then choose the opportunity to move by yourself.
Although Wei Hongbin was heavily guarded, Zhao Ya didn't believe that he would hide in the mansion forever and not come out.
And as long as he relaxed a little, Zhao Ya was confident that he would kill him.
After all, in addition to penance during this time, Zhao Ya also had some experience on the way to the poisonous path, and was planning to find an opportunity to test it.
While chatting, Zhu Chengwan, the eldest of the Zhu family, came.
He was led to the courtyard by Gu Mingdong, and then at a glance he saw Shang Luoluo who was talking to Zhao Ya, and couldn't help but be extremely surprised.
"Fall...... Miss Shang, why are you here? ”
Of course, he knew Shang Luoluo.
When the Zhu family was at its peak, he Zhu Chengwan was a veritable top young man in the county, and naturally he also participated in the Shangfu cocktail party.
Not only that, Zhu Chengwan also pursued Shang Luoluo for a period of time, until he found that his level could not reach this extremely smart girl, and then he gave up.
"Oh, I have a few things to tell Zhao Shaoxia when I came over, but why are you here Zhu Dashao?"
Zhu Chengwan hesitated.
Shang Luoluo is so smart, he smiled slightly when he saw this, and then got up and said.
"Zhao Gongzi, after I have finished talking about my affairs, I will stop bothering, and if I have nothing to do in the future, I will let the drunken child come over to play with me."
With that, he took his leave and left.
After she left, Zhao Ya looked at Zhu Chengwan.
"What is Young Master Zhu looking for me?"
"Don't dare to be, don't dare to be, Zhao Shaoxia just call me Cheng Wan or Xiao Zhu, now my Zhu family is poor, I really don't dare to be this young master."
As he spoke, Zhu Chengwan took out the stack of golden tickets from his arms and handed them to Zhao Ya with great importance.
"What is this?" Zhao Ya was a little surprised.
Zhu Chengwan looked left and right, and after making sure that there was no one, he lowered his voice and said.
"My father heard that Zhao Shaoxia killed a criminal cavalryman on the street today, and he was very happy, he knew that it would not be long before you would fight Wei Hongbin, so he specially sent me over to send you some gold for funding."
Zhao Ya instantly understood what the Zhu family meant.
This is being bullied by Wei Hongbin, and he plans to make a desperate bet on himself.
But don't say it, the Zhu family's vision and courage are quite good.
First of all, you can see the situation, and secondly, you dare to bet on yourself when you haven't even scratched the eight characters.
However, Zhao Ya did not immediately pick up these golden tickets, but looked at Zhu Chengwan with a smile.
Zhu Chengwan's scalp was numb, but he could only laugh.
"I remember Brother Zhu, you just said that your family is already poor, so what's the matter with this money?"
Hearing Zhao Ya's name for himself, Zhu Chengwan couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, and then smiled.
"The hundred-legged insect is dead but not stiff, although my family is indeed declining now, but this foundation is still there."
Zhao Ya nodded, and was not polite, and stretched out his hand to take the pile of golden tickets.
"Okay, the grace of your Zhu family's funding, I, Zhao, remember it."
Zhu Chengwan was overjoyed when he heard this.
When he came, his father Zhu Zihao specially instructed him, including the words he just said, which his father taught him sentence by sentence.
At that time, Zhu Zihao made it clear that he didn't expect to hear any promises, and even if he did, don't take it seriously.
Because the situation is now unclear, any promises made are null and void.
They only need Zhao Ya's attitude, if he can say what he knows, it would be great.
Now Zhu Chengwan heard what he wanted from Zhao Ya's mouth, so he left with great satisfaction.
After he left, Meng Shiwen walked out of the house and looked at the pile of golden tickets in Zhao Ya's hand in surprise.
She heard the conversation between Zhu Chengwan and Zhao Ya just now in the house.
So she was very surprised at the moment.
"I really didn't expect the Zhu family, who used to be stingy and mean, to become so generous now."
"Generous? This is just an investment, and it is the future future of their Zhu family, so this amount of money is really not much. ”
Zhao Ya explained, and immediately found the disciples in the martial arts hall who were responsible for purchasing things and the bookkeeper, and handed them the golden ticket in his hand.
"Now that the situation in the city is tense, take advantage of the fact that you can still buy things now, and hurry up to stock up on supplies, especially all kinds of healing medicines and jerky, as much as you want, no matter how expensive the price is."
"Yes!"
Now Zhao Ya's prestige in the eyes of the disciples of the martial arts hall is extremely high, and his orders are naturally obedient.
"Also, inquire about whether there is armor for sale in the market, cloth armor is also fine, if you can find it, you must also buy it."
In the past, when dealing with the beast tide, the cloth armor played a great role.
Although this thing is like a joke when the warriors are fighting, it can play a big role on the battlefield.
It's a pity that the cloth armor of the Zhu family has long been gone, and as for the five hundred cloth armor donated at the beginning, it is not much at all with Guangrui, Renyong and Zhenshan Boxing Gym and other martial arts halls.
That's why Zhao Ya thought about whether he could buy some from the market.
The disciple in charge of the purchase and the bookkeeper took the order.
At this time, Shen Dao, who went out to contact the martial arts hall, also came back.
There was no need to ask, just looking at their expressions, Zhao Ya knew that the trip was very smooth.
This is not surprising.
After all, the martial arts gyms that didn't appear on that list were all hardcore villains, and when the goals and interests were the same, forming an alliance was simply a natural thing.
For the next two days, the county town was unexpectedly calm.
Including those cavalrymen who did evil on weekdays, they all disappeared, as if they were really frightened by Zhao Ya's words.
In this regard, ordinary people are naturally overjoyed, and they are even more grateful to Zhao Ya.
But anyone with a little insight can smell the uneasiness in it.
Just when the outside world was panicking, there was calm in the Dingtai Martial Arts Hall.
Even Zhao Ya returned to his previous state of asceticism, honing his martial arts every day in order to improve his strength as much as possible.
Under his guidance, all the disciples also settled down to practice their homework.
This scene also amazed Jiao Yousong, who came to visit.
"Sure enough, it is worthy of being the first martial arts hall in the county, and I can still calm down and practice martial arts in this chaotic time, and this concentration alone is enough to be admired."
Nie Jingnian, who came with him, did not speak.
After the last time the city gate was lost, Nie Jingnian became more and more silent.
Shen Dao, who was in charge of the reception, couldn't help but sigh in his heart when he saw this.
He has known Nie Jingnian for the longest time, so he naturally knows that this Nie Jingnian has a straightforward temperament and can't hide things in his heart.
It is precisely because of this that he was deceived by Yu Guizhi when the beast tide attacked the city.
At this time, Zhao Ya also heard the news and rushed over.
After seeing him, Jiao Yousong's eyes couldn't help but light up, and then he arched his hand and said, "I haven't seen you for many days, I didn't expect Senior Brother Zhao, your kung fu to improve again." ”
Zhao Ya had just finished practicing his homework, and his body was boiling with qi and blood, and a clear-eyed person could naturally see that his strength had improved again.
Zhao Ya just smiled at this, "Senior Brother Jiao is polite, how come the two of you have time to come over today?" ”
"Hehe, what else could it be? To tell you the truth, my old man was out of the customs yesterday. Jiao Yousong's eyebrows flew and danced.
"Oh? Lingshi's injuries healed? Zhao Ya was also overjoyed when he heard it.
That's good news.
After all, high-end combat power like Jin Zhenming can often change the situation of the battle at critical moments.
"Well, the injuries on my master's body are no longer in trouble, and not only my master, but even Master Shang's uncle is the same."
At this time, Nie Jingnian finally spoke, "Yes, my master also recovered from his injuries two days ago. ”
Zhao Ya and Shen Dao were very happy.
"This is great, even if the fight starts at that time, with the help of the two masters, it can also increase the chances of victory." Shen Dao said.
Jiao Yousong smiled, "The purpose of our coming here is precisely for this, my master and monk have said that they are ready and can do it at any time." ”
Zhao Ya nodded when he heard this, "Okay, we are almost ready, we can launch a counterattack just waiting for an opportunity." ”
Zhao Ya understood that both sides were waiting at this time.
Wait for the other party to appear first.
So the more you get to this point, the more you have to calm down.
This is called the need for calm in the face of great events.
After talking about some details, Jiao Yousong said to Zhao Ya with admiration.
"Two days ago, you broke up a cavalry leader on the street, and I also knew about it, it's really relieving, but it's a pity that I wasn't there at the time, otherwise I would have screwed off the heads of those bitches."
Zhao Ya smiled, "Don't worry, there will be a chance soon." ”
"Hahaha is also what I said, when the time comes, we will fight side by side again, and we will definitely kill each other."
Jiao Yousong laughed and left.
Nie Jingnian nodded and followed.
After they left, Zhao Ya did not go back to cultivate, but came to the master's house.
Lu Dingtai was still in a coma, but his breathing was getting more and more gentle, as if he was an old monk who had entered the meditation.
Meng Shiwen sat on the edge of the bed at a loss, her eyes full of despair.
At the beginning, she thought that Lu Dingtai would be able to wake up in a few days, but she didn't expect that she had waited until now and there was still no sign of waking up.
This also made her hope in her heart more and more dimmable.
Looking at Meng Shiwen who was sitting on the edge of the bed, Zhao Ya sighed in his heart, but did not speak.
For it is useless to be comforted by words.
He could only say, "I'll go to the back and see if the medicine for Master has been boiled." ”
With that, he walked out of the room, turned into the side corridor, and walked to the back.
After passing through a few flower gates, there is a small courtyard, and before you get closer, you can smell the strong smell of medicine.
This is the pharmacy of the Ding Tai Martial Arts Museum.
Almost all martial arts halls of a certain size have similar institutions.
Because it is inevitable that you will be injured when practicing martial arts, and at the same time, many exercises have to be soaked in potions or taken pills internally, which requires the presence of a pharmacy.
And the place where Lu Dingtai boiled medicine was in a side room next to the pharmacy.
For the sake of safety, there is a special person in charge here, and idle people are not allowed to approach.
Of course, Zhao Ya did not belong to the idle people, and when he walked into the house, he saw a huge medicine jar on the stove, which was steaming hot.
A disciple was guarding in front of the fire, and when Zhao Ya came in, he hurriedly stood up.
"Uncle Junior!"
Zhao Ya nodded, went to look at the medicine first, and found that there was still some fire, so he closed the lid again, and then turned his head to look at this disciple.
"Why haven't I seen you before? What about Lao Liu? ”
"Oh, Senior Brother Liu, he had diarrhea last night, and he hasn't gotten up yet, I'm here for him."
"For him?" Zhao Ya frowned.
"Who did you tell about this?"
"I've already reported to Master Xu De."
"Oh, your master is Xu De?"
"Yes."
"What's your name?"
"Back to Uncle Junior, my name is Shi Lin."
"Okay." Zhao Ya nodded, turned around again, and left after making sure that there was nothing unusual.
After he left, this Shi Lin couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief and wiped the sweat from his forehead.
No way.
The sense of oppression on Zhao Ya's body was too strong.
Even though they only got along for a short time, it still caused him a lot of pressure.
"Huh, Uncle Xiao is really powerful, I think it's even greater than the sense of oppression that Master Xu De gave me." Shi Lin muttered, then continued to sit down, staring intently at the fire.
At the same time, Zhao Ya, who walked out of the pharmacy, always felt that something was wrong.
It's not that Shi Lin is wrong, but this matter reveals something strange.
You must know that Lao Liu, who was in charge before, is also a martial artist in the Second Realm, how could he suddenly have diarrhea and can't get out of bed?
But whether it was observing words and expressions, or threatening with momentum, Zhao Ya didn't see the slightest abnormality from this Shi Lin.
Unless this person is extremely deep in the city, he can even deceive his own eyes.
But is it possible?
Zhao Ya frowned and thought for a moment, but the pace under his feet did not stop, and quietly left.
At the same time, at the pharmacy, someone shouted outside the door with a smile: "Senior Brother Shi, it's time to eat, today's food is quite good, there are your favorite meatballs, I specially gave you a few more." ”
Shi Lin in the house heard the shout, his eyes lit up, and then he opened the door and walked out.
I saw a young man standing outside the door, that is, sixteen or seventeen years old, honest and stocky, carrying a lunch box in his hand.
"Excuse me, Xiao Zhang!"
"Senior brother, you are out of sight when you say this, isn't it normal for a junior brother to bring you food? What's more, you have an important task on your shoulders right now, so eat it while it's hot, and it will be cold later. The boy laughed.
Shi Lin stretched out his hand to take the food box, and was thinking of going back to the house to eat, but the young man said: "Senior brother, there is such a big smell of medicine in the house, what you eat will not be fragrant, so it is better to eat it here." ”
"But the medicine in it ......." Shi Lin hesitated.
"That's easy, I'll keep an eye on it for you for a while, if you still don't feel at ease, how about I not close the door and let you watch outside?" The boy smiled very sincerely.
