My lady, I'm going to rebel.

Chapter 72 It’s a fake after all

"Going to Chu?"

"Yes, go to Chudi!"

As a modern person, Mu Zheng understands the importance of Artemisia annua. Since ancient times, malaria has been a major disease that endangers human safety. It was not until modern science discovered quinine that it began to improve.

But quinine is still not the best panacea. The best panacea for treating malaria is artemisinin, discovered by Chinese scientist Ms. Tu.

Although there is only a trace amount of artemisinin in a piece of Artemisia annua, and it may not even be effective to a large extent, it is still better than waiting to die with no cure.

Thinking of this, Mu Zheng asked the five snipers to go to Chu.

"There's a force over there that's rebelling against Wang Mang, called the Green Forest. They've been having some trouble lately, with an epidemic raging. This Artemisia annua could just alleviate their immediate needs."

Mu Zheng was worried about how to separate the five snipers from the Kuishan people, but Artemisia annua gave him a new idea.

"Brother Mu, you said this grass can cure epidemics?" Everyone looked incredulous.

"Of course." Mu Zheng looked at Lu Di and the others. "You've been training for quite a while now, so it's time for you to participate in actual combat. The Green Forest Army is currently tackling the imperial court, so you should go to that battlefield. Hone yourselves and improve yourselves. Use your strength to train me a sniper unit that only you can use."

ha?

Lu Di and others were confused at first, and then they were overjoyed.

As a rebel, or a specially trained rebel, who wouldn't look forward to a stage to show his talents?

Now Mu Zheng not only pointed out the direction for them, but also gave them the task of forming an army that completely belongs to them. How impressive is that?

"Don't worry, General! We guarantee to complete the mission." Lu Di and others shouted.

Uh.

Mu Zheng coughed twice, "When you get there, don't say you're from the Lu family army anymore."

"Ah? Why?"

"Fool, you are going to join the Green Forest. With your strength and ability, you will definitely become the overlord of the Green Forest. By then, many people will follow you. If you are still members of the Lu Family Army, then what are they?"

"Oh well."

Although Lü Di and the others were reluctant to leave, they didn't resist. After all, the Lü Family Army was now in name only, and Mu Zheng was right. Sitting on someone else's stool and shouting that you were from another party was just annoying.

"By the way, next time we meet, don't call me General."

"This is...good!"

Seeing them agree, Mu Zheng breathed a sigh of relief. He had been able to successfully send the sniper team away, and had helped them shed their feelings for Kuishan. This would make their future encounters on the battlefield less awkward.

After resolving all the issues, they talked about fine salt again.

Mu Zheng was completely confident about this. It would only take half a year at most. Once the war broke out, the government would no longer have the energy to investigate illegal salt trafficking. By then, the entire Xin Dynasty would be filled with salt dealers from Elephant Island, and they would definitely make a fortune!

……

At dawn, there was a knock on Mu Zheng's door. He jumped up and saw that it was Li Zidu.

He hadn't slept all night and looked extremely embarrassed.

"Are you back? Did you get the things?" Mu Zheng hurriedly welcomed him into the house.

"I got it!" Li Zidu said as he pulled out a jade disk from his pocket. It was square, light-colored, and had a single character engraved on it.

"What is this word?" Mu Zheng asked.

"Ao!" Li Zidu answered.

"Is he related to Li Lian's disappearance?"

"Hmm! The other party wants me to exchange this thing?"

"Oh? So expensive?"

"It's been handed down from our ancestors."

"Then are you willing?"

"This is fake!"

Uh……

Mu Zheng was still lamenting that Li Zidu trusted him so much that he actually put such a valuable thing in his hands, but it turned out to be a fake.

"You're using fake items to trade, aren't you afraid of being discovered?"

"They haven't seen the real thing anyway."

Ok!

Mu Zheng was once again impressed by Li Zidu.

"When do they want it?"

"Wait for contact."

As he was speaking, someone knocked on the door. He looked and saw it was Cao Pengfei. He was holding a flying knife with a bamboo slip tied to it, with only two words written on it: "Beishan"!

Li Zidu's eyes darkened, and Mu Zheng looked at him: "Together?"

……

In Mu Zheng's view, Donglai North Mountain is just a small mound of earth.

It is surrounded by the sea on three sides and has a great view.

Just as Mu Zheng and Li Zidu reached the foot of the mountain, an arrow flew in front of them. Then they heard a man's voice: "Li Zidu, step back. I will let you follow me up alone."

Uh.

Do you want Mu Zheng to go to the meeting alone?

Li Zidu handed the jade pendant in his hand to Mu Zheng. Their eyes met, and they couldn't help but feel amused.

Presumably, the kidnappers thought that Mu Zheng was Li Zidu's follower, the kind of person with extremely poor fighting ability. Little did they know that the person they invited was a killing god.

Mu Zheng slowly walked towards the mountain, he walked carefully, pretending to be scared. On the way, he sensed many secret sentries hidden in the woods, but he pretended not to notice them and continued to play dumb.

At this moment, a man lifted Li Lian's chin with the tip of a knife.

"Li Lian, the people from Lizidu are here. Once I get the jade pendant, all this will be over."

"Bah! Zhang Can, do you really think we would recognize that sign?"

"Haha, it doesn't matter whether you recognize it or not, as long as everyone in the world recognizes it."

Li Lian bit his lip tightly. He knew Zhang Shen was right. It was enough for everyone in the world to recognize the jade disc. However, the person behind Zhang Shen was clearly not the orthodox Han Dynasty. If the world really fell into that person's hands, it would be a true change of dynasty!

Mu Zheng climbed a small hillside as if he was climbing Mount Tai.

From a distance, he saw the dilapidated house on the top of the mountain, and then pretended to be surprised and ran two steps, but he stumbled and almost fell.

"Haha!" Zhang Can laughed beside Li Lian, "Isn't Li Zi too confident in himself? He actually sent a loser with him."

Li Lian narrowed his eyes. When he saw clearly that it was Mu Zheng, he glanced at the man and said, "Don't hurt innocent people."

Zhang Can laughed out loud when he heard this: "I never hurt the weak."

Mu Zheng panted heavily, pretending to be very tired. But while pretending to rest, he had already taken a thorough look at the surrounding terrain. At the same time, he also heard several movements on both sides. Roughly estimating, there were about four or five people hiding in the surrounding area.

Mu Zheng's heart sank slightly.

Even Li Lian's skills were too weak to escape, so Mu Zheng really had no confidence in facing four or five such masters.

"Master Lian!"

Since he was regarded as Li Zidu's follower, Mu Zheng naturally changed the way he addressed Li Lian.

Li Lian was stunned for a moment, then shouted, "Xiao Zheng, don't come over here. Go back and tell your young master that I'm not going to live anymore. Tell him not to exchange anything for me."

Li Lian cried out in agony. If this sentence was not so inconsistent with his personality, Mu Zheng would have believed it.

only……

Xiao Zheng?

How unpleasant!

Mu Zheng ran up to Li Lian and looked at the man holding the knife. He trembled and said, "Good man, I've brought the things. Can you let my son go?"

"Hehe!" The man laughed and said, "Sure, sure. My words are as good as gold."

As he spoke, Zhang Can stretched out his hand.

Mu Zheng timidly took out the jade pendant from his arms and handed it to the other party. Then, while the other party was carefully examining the jade pendant, he drew out the Luoyang Sword and instantly cut the rope that was helping Li Lian.

Their eyes met, and Mu Zheng immediately understood. Li Lian also knew that the jade disc he brought was fake!

Then they must leave here immediately.

"and many more!"

Zhang Can's voice came from behind!
