Scholar Wang Yun, with his hands on his hips, was still talking nonsense.
Absolutely cold——
A figure rushed over and kicked him hard, knocking him down into the mud.
"Who!"
Wang Yun staggered to his feet and was about to turn around and cursed again.
Snap!
Another slap in the face made him dizzy. After he calmed down, he raised his head tremblingly.
He found that at some point, the young boss in Zhuangzi was standing in front of him coldly.
"Bring the knife!" Xu Mu shouted angrily in a cold voice.
"My boss..."
"Get the knife!"
Zhou Luo shrank his neck, hurriedly approached, and handed the knife over.
"Big disciplinary order, if you dare to molest a woman, you will be beheaded!"
In the rain curtain, the sound of drawing a knife out of its sheath could be heard far away. Wang Yun turned pale with fright. He hurriedly put his hand into his arms, took out a large pile of silver, and handed it to Xu Mu.
Xu Mu didn't even look at it.
At this moment, his heart was filled with anger, not just for Wang Yun, but for this cannibalistic world.
"My boss! My boss! I escaped! He didn't insult me!" Xi Niang hurriedly crawled over and pulled Xu Mu's arm desperately.
"The pile has not been driven." Wang Yun also cried and howled, kowtowing to Xu Mu repeatedly.
"Xu Lang! Don't kill anyone." Jiang Caiwei also ran over and shouted to dissuade him.
Xu Mu closed his eyes, stood up, and coldly threw the simple knife in his hand into the mud.
"This boss, I will admit my mistake."
In the room, the other two scholars also looked shocked. They hurriedly walked to Xu Mu regardless of the rain.
"Next time, I will kill you." Xu Mu opened his eyes, his gaze was terrifyingly cold.
Seeing this scene, Wang Yun shook his body violently and did not dare to move.
"Xiniang, please go and rest."
"Thank you, thank you, my boss, for making the decision!"
"Go ahead."
Xu Mu staggered and walked back to the wooden house. For a moment, he just felt that his mind was extremely irritable.
"Xu Lang, wash yourself off." Not long after, Jiang Caiwei came in with a basin of hot water in her arms, her voice filled with distress.
"Caiwei, do you want to move to the inner city?"
"Xu Lang, I don't know." Taking off Xu Mu's muddy steps, Jiang Caiwei lowered her head.
"We are leaving, what will the people in the village... do?"
The road is so long that it is impossible to move with so many people.
"They will starve to death and be killed by bandits. If Wangzhou City is destroyed, they will be shot to death by the Di people with horse bows and hacked to death with scimitars. Their heads will also be cut off and taken back to the capital for public viewing."
Jiang Caiwei's eyes were red and she cried softly.
Xu Mu raised his head silently and looked at the increasingly raging night rain outside the wooden house.
…
What happened last night was like a shock to the three scholars who suddenly arrived.
The scene of Xu Mu raining the knife, thinking about it carefully, is really a bit scary.
"Master Xu, do you know when we will set off?" Another scholar named Fan Gu made a rare bow before asking in a low voice.
"I have sent people to Hezhou to find martial arts training for you. Once the martial arts training arrives, you three can do what you want." Xu Mu said calmly.
"Master Xu, what does this mean? Isn't it okay?"
"If I don't work, I want to stay."
Fan Gu frowned, not expecting such a twist.
Behind Fan Gu, the little scholar also frowned, feeling faintly angry.
"I can't trust Hezhou martial arts."
The voice was very strange, as if it was spoken with a squeezed throat.
"It's better that you send me back to Wangzhou later."
"It's a good relationship. Two hundred taels of silver, and I haven't taken any of it." After handing over the silver, Xu Mu turned around and gave Chen Sheng some instructions.
Soon, two carriages came slowly, and the village gate opened wide in time. However, Chen Sheng, who had just got on the carriage, had not yet whipped up his horsewhip——
"Wangzhou is under lockdown! Wangzhou is under lockdown! Four hundred thousand refugees are about to rush into the city gates!"
An anxious voice came from outside the village gate, and Zhou Luo, wearing a raincoat, ran into the village in panic.
"My boss, I was exploring the road at the foot of the mountain earlier, and I saw many people running here. Those refugees are going crazy! Wangzhou has been sealed off!"
Xu Mu froze on the spot, and beside him, the three scholars also turned pale.
"Close the door first." Xu Mu gritted his teeth.
The carriage that was about to drive out suddenly came back.
"Arrange manpower and continue patrolling. In addition, make the wooden wall stronger."
Although I don't want to admit it, this world will soon be in chaos again.
"Master Xu, what are you waiting for! Move to the inner city quickly, it's safe there!" Fan Gu reluctantly advised.
"No move." Xu Mu said coldly, "In Zhuangzi, if you want to leave at this time, I, Xu Mu, will not stop you at all, and I will send you two taels of money."
Except for the three scholars, everyone remained motionless.
Especially the poor people and village women burst into tears looking at Xu Mu's attitude.
"Don't worry, everyone, our eight battalions at Daji Dingbian are elite troops, and they will definitely be able to stop the Beidi people."
"Those refugees are nothing more than a mob. In a few days, Wangzhou will be the same as before."
"Just make money by brewing wine."
The three scholars stood in the middle of Zhuangzi, looking out of place. They wanted to speak, but they hesitated.
"Master, I went to count, and now there are less than twenty longbows in the entire village." As soon as he returned to the village after delivering the goods, Chen Sheng immediately got to work.
"Tell everyone, these are not enough. In addition, you will lead everyone to practice archery starting tomorrow."
"Me?" Chen Sheng was stunned.
"Are you better at ejaculation, or Si Hu?"
"Brother Tiger is blind, so of course it's me..."
"This can't happen."
Chen Sheng scratched his head and had no choice but to run back reluctantly.
"Master Xu." As soon as Chen Sheng walked away, the youngest scholar walked up to Xu Mu.
"Anything else?"
"The three of us have discussed it." The little scholar blinked, "As long as Master Xu can send us safely to the inner city, the three of us will add another three hundred taels of silver."
"I've already invited Wu Xing. I can just talk to Wu Xing about the money when the time comes."
"The three of us cannot believe in martial arts. Since you were introduced by Tian Guantou, you should have our best interests in mind."
"It happened for a reason. I didn't want to take this job in the first place."
"But you have already accepted it." The little scholar refused to give in.
"How about I give you another fifty taels and treat it as a breach of contract?" Xu Mu sneered.
"Great Discipline, you are now the martial arts hired by the three of me."
"Is there a notarization? A few days ago, a villager peed outside my village. Without a notarization, I can't do anything."
The little scholar blushed and blurted out, "You are a disciple!"
This time, it was Xu Mu's turn to be stunned, "Do you want to raise your orchid finger and curse again? Maybe I will know that I am wrong."
"Shameless!"
The little scholar puffed up his face and took a few steps forward angrily. He suddenly stopped, picked up a few pieces of mud from the ground, and threw it on Xu Mu.
"Don't cry, or your parents will come over and scold me if they see it." Xu Mu was speechless. He was as arrogant as any girl in reading.
"Shameless! You are a scoundrel! You have a rotten heart and a rotten liver!" The little scholar turned around and stood on the dirt floor with his hands on his hips, tit for tat.
Xu Mu paused and made a gesture to pick up the stick.
The little scholar turned pale and hurriedly ran into the house in shock.
