Chapter 145 Qiu Feng, Who Defeated All the Wealthy Families in the City

at dusk.

When Zhao Ya and Shang Luoluo came out from the last wealthy family, it was already the beginning of the lantern lighting.

The once bustling streets have become much deserted.

Many people were frightened by the siege of alien beasts last night, so they tried their best not to go out on the streets.

Only a few shop doors on the long street were still open, and the covers in front of the doors swayed in the wind, adding a bit of desolation.

"Huh!" Shang Luoluo let out a long breath, feeling that this day was simply too tiring.

None of these wealthy families are fuel-efficient, and it is extremely difficult to get them to pay for it.

fine.

The results of this day are also gratifying.

Under the general trend, these wealthy families have to spend money and contribute, no matter how reluctant they are.

Thinking of this, Shang Luoluo couldn't help but look at Zhao Ya who was standing aside.

In fact, Zhao Ya was the absolute main force on this day.

Shang Luoluo also saw for the first time what simplicity and roughness meant.

Often, without waiting for these wealthy families to finish their excuses, Zhao Ya would directly tear open their fig leaves and attack the depths of their souls.

The summary is just one sentence.

Either pay, contribute, or leave the county.

But such a simple trick has achieved miraculous results.

Most of the wealthy families bowed their heads obediently. The remaining small group still wanted to rely on their own power to compete with Zhao Ya, but in the end, they were defeated by Zhao Ya in three strokes, five divided by two.

It was precisely because of this crispness that they were able to conquer all the wealthy families in the city in one day.

"What's wrong?" At this time, Zhao Ya noticed that Shang Luoluo had been looking at him, so he asked.

"It's okay!" Then Shang Luoluo suddenly smiled, "Do you think we two are enjoying the autumn breeze today?"

"Fighting the autumn breeze?"

"It means asking people for money under false pretenses." Shang Luoluo explained with a smile.

"It's not like that!" Zhao Ya said immediately, and then added.

"Because this is what they should do. After all, the warriors are at the forefront of this beast wave. They can enjoy safety by hiding behind. Shouldn't they bleed?"

Shang Luoluo nodded with a smile and agreed: "That makes sense, but I always feel that you are not like a warrior, but more like a businessman."

Zhao Ya also smiled, "You mean I care about everything?"

"Of course not, I just think that ordinary warriors don't think so much. If you are in business, you will definitely be a genius."

"Haha, Miss Luoluo, you've been rewarded, but today I have troubled you. After all, you accompanied me to so many wealthy families. I guess they are scolding you now."

"Excuse me! It's not like I've never been scolded before." Shang Luoluo said very naturally, without any disturbance.

Zhao Ya glanced at her in surprise.

You must know that for a woman who has not left the boudoir, reputation is the most important thing.

But looking at Shang Luoluo's appearance, he didn't seem to care about this at all, and even looked like he was used to it.

Faced with Zhao Ya's surprise, Shang Luoluo brushed his hair from his ears and smiled calmly.

"Ever since I first started holding cocktail parties, the rumors against me have not stopped. Some people secretly said that I held cocktail parties purely to choose a husband for myself. Others said that I was lustful by nature and could not live without a man for a day. "

"When I first heard these words, I felt very angry, but then I got used to it. After all, people have their mouths, and you can't control them even if you want."

"As for these wealthy families..." A look of disdain appeared on Shang Luoluo's face.

"It's not that I look down on them, they are all dogs. They are afraid of you if you carry a stick. They will bark at you after you leave to show that they are quite capable. But next time you throw it to them. Bones, I’m wagging my tail at you again.”

Looking at Shang Luoluo with an indifferent expression, Zhao Ya suddenly felt a little admiration.

This is really a very smart woman. The key is that she is not pretentious and has a true temperament that is rare in men.

After Shang Luoluo said these words, he raised his eyes and met Zhao Ya's gaze.

For some reason, she blushed slightly, then turned her head and pretended not to know, and said, "I'm so hungry. I've been with you all day, why don't you treat me to a meal?"

Zhao Ya laughed when he heard this, "Isn't it easy to eat? Just say whatever you want to eat. How about going to Feixianju?"

Unexpectedly, Shang Luoluo shook his head, "If you don't go, I'm tired of it."

"Then what do you want to eat?"

"I'll take you somewhere and make sure you haven't eaten."

Shang Luoluo said mysteriously, and then led Zhao Ya away from the bustling downtown area and came to a remote market in a zigzag manner.

The environment here is only slightly better than the slums, and the people living here are ordinary people struggling at the bottom of society.

And there was a noodle stall next to the street in Fangshi. The stall owner was an old woman with gray hair.

Although he is not young anymore, he is dressed very cleanly and his white hair is combed meticulously.

When she saw Shang Luoluo, the old woman couldn't help but smile.

"Here you go again, the same thing?"

"Well, I'll add an extra bowl this time. A friend of mine is here too." Shang Luoluo said with a smile.

"Okay, sit down and wait."

Zhao Ya and Shang Luoluo picked up a bench and sat down.

There were some diners at the noodle stall, but they were ordinary people.

In comparison, Shang Luoluo, sitting here wearing an expensive dress, seemed a bit out of place.

Faced with those surprised or amazed eyes, Shang Luoluo didn't care at all. She sat on the bench and smiled at Zhao Ya.

"Do you think it's strange that I would come to such a place to eat?"

"It's a bit strange."

Of course, Zhao Ya didn't think this noodle stall was so simple. In fact, if he had nothing to do, he would prefer to come to such a place to eat.

The problem is that Shang Luoluo is the daughter of the county government. The cocktail party she held attracted young warriors from the entire county city. She can be said to be a celebrity in Yunxiao County.

So it's hard for Zhao Ya to connect her with such a small noodle stall.

Is there any reason?

"Hehe, are you wondering if there is any reason between me and this noodle stall?" Shang Luoluo blinked and smiled.

"Yeah."

"To tell you the truth, there is actually no reason. The reason I came here to eat noodles is just because I think the noodles here are delicious. What do you think? Is this answer very unexpected?"

Zhao Ya: "..."

Then nodded helplessly.

"It's a surprise."

"Hahaha." Shang Luoluo laughed happily.

Her eyes were bent until the noodles were cooked and served.

"Is it so funny?" Zhao Ya couldn't help asking.

"Yeah!" Shang Luoluo nodded solemnly, swallowed the noodles in her mouth, and then added.

"The main reason is that your surprised and helpless look just now was too funny."

Zhao Ya decided not to pay attention to this guy anymore. He ate the noodles, got up and paid for the noodles, and then sent Shang Luoluo home.

On the way home, Shang Luoluo was obviously in a good mood.

"Hey, are you going to the tower later?"

"Yeah."

Zhao Ya did plan to go to the tower for a walk. Although there were night watchmen there today, he was still worried if he didn't take a look.

Shang Luoluo's eyes lit up, "Then take me with you."

"What are you going there for?" Zhao Ya asked in surprise.

"No reason, I just want to go and have a look."

"But it's so late, if you don't go back, won't the county magistrate be anxious?"

"Don't worry, he won't be anxious, you're with him, he must be assured of safety."

"Okay!" Zhao Ya nodded, turned back, and took Shang Luoluo to the tower.

After climbing the wall, he saw people from the Zhenshan Boxing Gym patrolling on it.

In addition, there were many more yamen soldiers.

Zhao Ya knew that these should all be sent by Shang Jingchuan.

Although these yamen soldiers didn't play a big role, they at least showed an attitude.

"Master Zhao!"

"Young Master Zhao!"

Along the way, people kept greeting Zhao Ya.

Zhao Ya nodded in response, and then took Shang Luoluo to the tower.

After they left, these boxing gym children gathered together excitedly and whispered.

"Who is the woman that Master Zhao brought? She's so beautiful!"

"I heard she's the daughter of the county governor and the initiator of the merchant party. Her name is Shang Luoluo."

"Otherwise, you have to work hard to cultivate. Look at Master Zhao, he's so young and he's already entered the fourth realm, but even the daughter of the county governor is actively pursuing him."

Although they had already walked far away, Zhao Ya could still hear the discussions with his hearing. He couldn't help but turn back and said, "Okay, stop talking nonsense, and go on patrol."

The young men responded with laughter and then scattered like birds and beasts.

Zhao Ya said to Shang Luoluo with some embarrassment, "I'm sorry, these martial arts school students are always like this, they speak without restraint."

Shang Luoluo was very calm, "It's okay."

When he arrived at the tower, he greeted several brothers from the Zhenshan Boxing Gym, and then looked out through the lookout.

He saw shadows in the mountains and forests outside the city gate, and it was obvious that a large number of strange beasts had gathered again.

However, this time, these strange beasts did not leave the forest, but hid in the dark and stared at the county city.

"Why do you think they are besieging the city without attacking?" Shang Luoluo suddenly asked.

"I think they are waiting for a certain opportunity." Zhao Ya said in a deep voice.

"Opportunity..." Shang Luoluo pondered and said nothing.

On the way back, Shang Luoluo did not speak until he arrived in front of the Shang Mansion and was about to enter.

Shang Luoluo suddenly said: "You said... these strange beasts may want to surround the entire county city?"

Zhao Ya was slightly startled, "I have also thought about this possibility, but what is their purpose in doing this?"

"Cut off external aid, and then wait for the city to become chaotic before attacking the city. This also explains why they have been cruising outside the city. This is actually putting pressure on the county city."

After saying this, Shang Luoluo and Zhao Ya fell into silence, and both of them looked very ugly.

If this is true, it would be terrible.

Because this proves that there is indeed an extremely smart existence in this group of strange beasts who is secretly directing.

After returning from the Shang Mansion, Zhao Ya thought more and more that what Shang Luoluo said was very likely.

Moreover, doing so would not only exert invisible pressure on the county city, but also accumulate strength.

At least tonight Zhao Ya felt that there were more strange beasts outside the city than yesterday.

No!

We can't just sit there and wait for death, we must take the initiative to attack.

Zhao Ya immediately sat up and began to prepare for tomorrow's affairs.

After a night, when it was just dawn, Zhao Ya immediately notified all the martial arts schools, and then took people to the Zhu family.

The Zhu family didn't play tricks this time. All five hundred sets of cloth armor were delivered to Zhao Ya and his men.

When they arrived at the city gate with the cloth armor, many people had already gathered there.

Many people were surprised to see Zhao Ya coming back with such a set of armor.

"Xiao Ya, where did this come from?" Shen Dao was extremely surprised.

Zhao Ya smiled when he heard this, "I borrowed this from the Zhu family. With its protection, it will be difficult for those poisonous insects to penetrate."

"Borrowed from the Zhu family?" Xu De on the side couldn't believe his ears.

You have to know what kind of style the Zhu family has. He, who was born in a merchant family, knows it too well.

It can't be said that they are stingy, but at least they are stingy and mean.

Xu De would have believed that Zhao Ya could borrow several thousand taels of gold from it.

But the cost of this cloth armor is high. The key is that with the increasing chaos in the world, the raw materials for making cloth armor are becoming more and more difficult to obtain, and even money can't buy them.

So Xu De couldn't believe that this was "borrowed" by Zhao Ya anyway.

Zhao Ya smiled slightly, without hiding anything, and told them about how he had searched all the wealthy families in the city yesterday and forced them to contribute money and effort.

Xu De suddenly realized it and couldn't help but give a thumbs up.

As for the crowd, they were naturally more excited.

Zhao Ya then announced that anyone who went out of the city to clean up the forest would have a generous reward.

Money can make the gods.

With the temptation of money, even though a few people died yesterday, people were still very enthusiastic today.

Zhao Ya selected a group of elites from them, asked them to wear cloth armor, cover their faces with scarves, wear gloves, and ensure that no skin was exposed.

Finally, Zhao Ya also gave everyone a powder that could repel poison and insects.

This was the result of Zhao Ya's hard work last night.

Although it was made in a hurry, the effect was not bad.

At least after doing an experiment with the poisonous insects at home, it was found that it was basically effective.

After making these preparations, Zhao Ya led everyone out of the city gate.
