This sudden scene shocked many people.

"Nie Jingnian? Isn't he the senior brother of Renyong Martial Arts School? What is he doing?"

"I heard that he was originally responsible for the south gate, but because he was injured and unable to defend, he was deceived by Yu Guizhi from Chenfeng Martial Arts School, which led to Wei Hongbin's cavalry entering the city."

"Well, I don't blame him for this. After all, who would have expected that someone from Chenfeng Martial Arts School would do such a thing before?"

"But no matter what, the city gate was lost from his hands. He really has nothing to do with it."

During the discussion, Nie Jingnian lowered his head and said nothing, as if he would accept punishment and would never reply.

Shang Tiefeng sat on a chair and sipped tea with his head lowered, as if he didn't even see his disciple kneeling on the ground.

At this moment, a warm hand stretched out diagonally and placed 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, get up quickly. No one is blaming you. After all, you were injured while defending the city gate. Yu Guizhi stole the city gate when you were not prepared. If you want to blame it, it's their fault. How can you blame it? Are you interested?"

Zhao Ya said and looked at everyone, "What do you think?"

Nowadays, Zhao Ya has a high prestige among the warriors in the county and city. After all, if he hadn't insisted on his persistence this time, it would have been impossible to repel the beast tide so quickly.

Now that he had spoken, everyone naturally echoed his words.

"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. Get up quickly!"

"Yeah, get up quickly!"

Amidst the commotion, Nie Jingnian stood up, then lowered his head and whispered to Zhao Ya.

"Thank you."

Zhao Ya smiled and said nothing.

He knew Nie Jingnian's temper very well and knew that this man could not hide things in his heart and had to speak out if he had anything to say.

This incident obviously caused him great pressure, which is why he made the astonishing move of kneeling down in public.

Faced with such a situation, Shang Tiefeng, as his master, would definitely be unable to speak.

After all, no matter what he said, it would look awkward.

It is most appropriate to come forward only by yourself.

At this time, Zhao Ya hugged everyone and said, "Everyone, I believe everyone already understands the situation in the city. Since Wei Hongbin's entry into the city has become a fact, we must unite together so that we will not be manipulated by him."

Everyone agreed with a roar.

"Brother Xiao Zhao is right!"

"Just listen to Senior Brother Zhao. If anyone dares to have small thoughts and undermine unity, I will be the first to kill him."

"I also fully support it."

The crowd was furious for a while, Zhao Ya thanked them one by one, and then everyone dispersed.

Shang Tiefeng was the last to leave. Before leaving, he suddenly patted Zhao Ya on the shoulder.

"Xiao Ya, this incident is all thanks to you."

Zhao Ya knew that he was talking about Nie Jingnian and couldn't help but smile.

"Uncle Shang, you're welcome. Jingnian and I are good friends. Even if others don't help, I still have to help."

Shang Tiefeng nodded, looked at no one around him, and then lowered his voice and said, "How is your master?"

There was no need to hide it from Shang Tiefeng, Zhao Ya sighed.

"I just came from behind. The situation is still not good. I have been in a coma. It is obvious that my vitality and blood have been injured."

Shang Tiefeng was silent for a moment after hearing this, then took out a small box from his arms and handed it to Zhao Ya.

"This is the healing elixir I got when I was traveling in the world. It was made by a famous master. The curative effect is very good. See if it can help your master."

Zhao Ya didn't refuse either.

At this time, it would be hypocritical to push back and forth.

So he reached out to take the small box and gave it a solemn fist.

"Thank you, Master Shang."

Shang Tiefeng smiled.

"Okay, we are all family members, why are you being so polite, but there is something I have to remind you."

Speaking of this, Shang Tiefeng's expression became serious.

"You trampled a cavalryman to death in the street this time. Wei Hongbin will never give up and will most likely target you. Do you know why?"

Zhao Ya was silent for a moment and then said: "Because of my master."

"That's right, you can't hide your master's injury. Although Lao Jin and I were also injured, at least we two can move freely. Outsiders can't tell the difference, so they naturally don't dare to act rashly."

"But your master, Lao Lu, is unconscious. This immediately puts you and Dingtai Martial Arts School in an extremely dangerous situation, especially Yuan Chenfeng. This man has a narrow-minded heart and is always willing to spend money. You beat him twice in a row back then. A disciple, he has long held a grudge, but he didn't dare to take action because your master was in charge."

"Now with Wei Hongbin's power, he will definitely take action. Although you and I are in the same boat now, I will never stand idle, but there has always been a thief who can only be a thief for a thousand days, and there is no one who can guard against a thief for a thousand days. The old man and I Jin Ye has to heal his wounds secretly and cannot keep an eye on him every day, so you and your brothers and sisters must also be alert and take precautions."

Zhao Ya was very moved when he heard Shang Tiefeng's words.

Because he could see that this old man truly loved and cared for him as a junior, and his words came completely from the bottom of his heart.

So he hugged his fist solemnly.

"Thank you, Master Shang, for your teaching. I understand."

"That's good. I feel more at ease when you do things. Remember, if there are no special circumstances during this period, try to go out as little as possible. If anything happens, let me and Lao Jin know as soon as possible. When your master wakes up, the situation will get better. ”

"yes!"

Shang Tiefeng left.

Today's battle in the mountains and forests caused him to suffer serious internal injuries, but he just relied on his deep skills to hold on.

After returning, he had to heal his wounds behind closed doors quickly, otherwise it would be troublesome if the roots of the disease were left behind.

Just as he watched Shang Tiefeng leave, Jiao Yousong from Guangrui Martial Arts School arrived.

Although Zhao Ya didn't get along with him for a long time, they only had brief contact with him when he was defending the north gate.

But now the two of them had a tacit understanding like old friends for many years. Jiao Yousong took out an exquisite little jar and handed it to Zhao Ya.

"This is the blood-activating and blood-stasis-removing ointment secretly taught by our martial arts school. It is miraculous in treating trauma and bone fractures. Master asked me to bring it to you to see if I can help Uncle Lu."

Zhao Ya took the jar and solemnly thanked him again.

When Jiao Yousong heard this, he touched his shiny head with his hand and said with a smile.

"We are all brothers, why are you so polite? My master said that Dingtai Martial Arts Hall may be busy during this period. Anyway, I am idle. I will come here every day to see who is so short-sighted. , dare to come here to cause trouble."

At the end of the sentence, a murderous intent flashed across Jiao Yousong's face.

Obviously, this man who looks honest and strong is actually not a good person.

"Thank you, Senior Brother Jiao, but there is no need to start such a big battle. If something happens, I will notify you. I hope Senior Brother Jiao can help me 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 boredom." Jiao Yousong said with a smile.

After he left, Zhao Ya returned to the back house with the medicine sent by the two families.

Lu Dingtai is still in a coma.

Meng Shiwen, Shen Dao, Miao Shaocheng, Xu De and others were all waiting in the room at this time.

Meng Shiwen's eyes were red, obviously she had just cried.

She has followed Lu Dingtai since she was a child. Lu Dingtai is both a teacher and a father to her, and her feelings for him 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 just lost some vitality. He will be fine after a few days of rest. This is the medicine sent by Guangrui and Renyong martial arts schools. You can use it for Master."

Meng Shiwen nodded when she heard this, took the medicine box, and first drank the internal medicine into Lu Dingtai, then applied the blood-activating and blood-stasis-removing ointment to Lu Dingtai's hands, and finally bandaged them.

After finishing all this, Lu Dingtai's breathing seemed to be much calmer.

Meng Shiwen breathed a sigh of relief, and then said: "You guys are very tired after fighting all day. Go down and rest. I will keep an eye on you."

"How about that, senior sister, you've been tired all day too, so I'll take care of you." Xu De stepped forward and said.

"No one should argue. Women should be more careful when it comes to serving patients, so it's up to me, the senior sister, to do it." Meng Shiwen insisted.

Shen Dao, Zhao Ya and others looked at each other, had no choice but to bow their hands and say yes, and then retreated.

In such an emergency period, no one would leave the martial arts gym, and even Xu De found a room to stay.

After these days of fighting, everyone is indeed exhausted.

I washed up hastily and fell asleep without even eating dinner.

After a while, he started snoring loudly.

Zhao Ya did not sleep.

He closed his eyes and rested his mind, silently regulating his energy and blood, and did not get up until the next day.

After arriving in the courtyard, martial arts disciples were patrolling and on duty all night, and the defense was very tight.

However, this did not trouble Zhao Ya at all. After performing the breath-condensing surgery, Zhao Ya slipped silently into the darkness and disappeared after a few ups and downs.

The back house of Shang Mansion.

In a small bamboo forest garden, Shang Luoluo and Zui'er were sitting opposite each other, drinking tea and talking.

But it was obvious that Zui'er was distracted, his mind was not on this at all, and his eyes were staring straight at the door, as if waiting for something.

Shang Luoluo naturally knew what Zui'er was waiting for, and couldn't help but smile to himself.

This little girl is really infatuated.

"Zui'er, it's already so late. I guess your brother Xiaoya won't come. Let's go to bed first. We can wait until tomorrow to talk about anything else. How about that?"

Zui'er shook his head stubbornly, "No, Sister Luoluo, if you are sleepy, go to sleep. I will wait here."

Shang Luoluo couldn't help but smile when he heard this, "What if your brother Xiaoya doesn't come all night?"

"Then I'll just wait here all night. Isn't this very simple?" Zui'er looked matter-of-fact.

Shang Luoluo was startled, obviously not expecting Zui'er to answer like this. Then she sighed quietly and muttered in a low voice: "What a silly girl."

At this moment, the bamboo forest rustled outside the window, and then I heard a man laughing loudly: "My drunk boy is not stupid."

"Brother Xiaoya!"

Hearing this voice, Zui'er was overjoyed, got up and ran out the door.

At this moment, he saw Zhao Ya walking in from outside the door. Zui'er didn't care whether there was anyone present or not, and threw herself into his arms.

Zhao Ya smiled and patted her back, "Okay, okay, I'm back. Someone is here, don't be like this."

Only then did Zui'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 wondering why the moon was so round today.

It wasn't until Zui'er stood up that she turned her beautiful eyes to look at Zhao Ya, and then smiled slightly.

"You're here now. If you don't come, your drunken son's soul will probably fly away."

Zui'er's face suddenly turned even redder, and he whispered in a low voice.

"That's... not really."

Zhao Ya hugged her behind him to make her less embarrassed, and then said with a smile.

"Okay, stop teasing her, she has a tender face."

"You know she's ashamed, why are you here so late?"

"Sorry, I was delayed by something, so I'm late."

"No need to apologize 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 had always been unforgiving in her words.

"Thank you then."

"no need thank me?"

"Thank you for helping me take care of Zui'er."

Before leaving the city to face the alien beast, Zhao Ya thought over and over again for Zui'er's safety and finally sent her to Shang Luoluo.

This is done for two reasons.

One is because with all the elites from Dingtai Martial Arts School, and even Lu Dingtai taking action, the Martial Arts School is no longer safe, but more dangerous.

After all, after those strange beasts or people with ulterior motives enter the city, the first ones they have to deal with will definitely be the major martial arts schools.

The second reason is that Shang Luoluo is a cautious person and has a secret tunnel in his home. If something shocking happens, he can hide for safety.

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 why Zhao Ya said before that he sent Zui'er to a very safe place.

After listening to Zhao Ya's thanks, Shang Luoluo curled his lips.

"You're not sincere, how can you thank someone like this?"

"Then how can I thank you?"

"At least bring a few things over here."

"Next time, definitely 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 definitely didn't just treat him to tea, she must have something to say to him.

It just so happened that I also had something to ask her.

Zhao Ya and Shang Luoluo sat across from each other at a small tea table.

Zui'er sat on the other side.

The silver-gray charcoal fire caused the water in the pot to roll. Shang Luoluo picked it up skillfully and poured the water into the teacup.

The tea cup is bright in color, which contrasts well with the turquoise tea, making it very pleasing to the eye.

Along with the soaking in hot water, a scent of tea comes out, which is refreshing.

Although Zhao Ya is not good at this, he can still smell the extraordinary quality of this tea.

"It's the dripping bud produced in Guangyuan County. It only produces a thousand catties every year. Most of it is sent to the capital. A small pack is worth a hundred taels." Shang Luoluo introduced.

Zhao Ya took a sip and felt the aroma in his mouth and nose, but then he put the cup down.

"It tastes good, but it's too expensive."

"Is it expensive? This is still cheap. Among the wealthy families in the capital, even the housekeeper may drink this kind of tea." Shang Luoluo said calmly.

Zhao Ya was silent.

He knew that Shang Luoluo had something to say.
