The dense forest, which had just been chaotic and war-torn, suddenly fell into an eerie silence, and only the roars of beasts and birds from time to time came from the depths of the dense forest.

I saw Li Mang retract his steps, holding the knife in his backhand, no longer in an attacking posture, and then an embarrassed smile appeared on his face, and he said embarrassedly: "I'm sorry, I didn't control it, that friend, I originally wanted to save you, don't misunderstand."

When nearly twenty black-clothed people heard this, they were frightened, and then they looked at each other, then turned around and fled out of the dense forest, extremely embarrassed.

After a while, only the young man in white remained in place, he looked at the black figures running around, and then asked Li Mang suspiciously, "Why did the adults save you?"

Li Mang was stupid by this question, the first time he heard that he had saved someone, and some people asked why he saved himself, and then he spread his hands and said helplessly: "Just passing by, admiring you, I saved you, there is no why."

The young man also seemed to feel that his problem was very stupid and embarrassing, so he tidied up his appearance a little to cover it up, and then solemnly hugged his fists and said: "Thank you for your life-saving grace, Bai Qiu is unforgettable."

Li Mang waved his hand casually and said, "It's okay, don't call me an adult, let's go, leave here first."

Then Li Mang returned to the white horse, took the reins, and walked the way he had come. There is one more person, and it is not suitable to ride a horse by himself, and the two big men ride together and feel panicked, so they can only walk, the young man named Bai Qiu did not say a word, followed closely behind Li Mang, buried his head and walked, and the two of them walked towards the official road outside the dense forest.

On the official road, the two hurried in a muffled voice, and they didn't meet anyone for a long time, Li Mang suddenly felt bored, so he took the initiative to speak: "Why are those people chasing and killing you?"

Bai Qiu was slightly stunned, his footsteps paused, and then he didn't answer, I don't know if he was organizing the language, or he didn't know how to say it, Li Mang didn't ask when he saw this, and changed the topic: "Where are you going next?"

Bai Qiu thought about it and said, "Alone, wandering the world."

Li Mang seemed to be surprised, but he was also very happy, and then asked again: "Are you familiar with this Daxing Dynasty? I don't know where the nearest city will be next?"

Bai Qiuhu glanced at Li Mang suspiciously, and asked, "Isn't the adult from the Central Plains?"

Li Mang nodded and said, "Like you, you have no father, no mother, no home, strictly speaking, you can be regarded as a person from the Western Regions."

Bai Qiu said with admiration: "My lord is really talented, one person can reach the level of a grandmaster at such an age, presumably he has suffered a lot."

Li Mang seemed unwilling to continue such a topic, and asked again: "Do you know about the Daxing Dynasty?"

Bai Qiu pondered for a long time, as if organizing language, and then slowly spoke: "The Daxing Dynasty used to be just a small kingdom, only occupying a single state, and it was only since Liu Jing ascended the throne a few years ago that it gradually grew and rose, he has destroyed several small countries around him, and has gathered many masters of the rivers and lakes to work for him, and the territory has expanded more than twice in a short period of time, and the dynasty has only been announced since last year."

Li Mang pondered for a moment, and then asked again: "What are the powerful countries in Shenzhou today?"

As soon as these words came out, Bai Qiu's originally calm face suddenly distorted, and his breath fluctuated greatly, and then he took a deep breath before he regained his indifference again, and said: "Central Plains Kyushu, with a vast territory, originally belonged to one family, a hundred years ago, in fact, it was the territory of the Daqing Empire, and the name of Kyushu was also divided by Daqing back then. It is only since the rebellion of the kings that it has gradually fallen apart, and it is said that the more powerful countries today are the Daxing Dynasty that occupies Haozhou, Bingzhou, and Yanzhou, and the Dayi Dynasty that occupies Yangzhou, Quanzhou, and Jiangzhou, as well as... There are also the Dawu Dynasty that occupies Wuzhou, Xingzhou, and Binzhou, and the rest such as Tianfu Kingdom, Nanli Kingdom, Beijiang Kingdom, etc., although the territory is not a state, but most of them are barren and remote or struggling to survive in the cracks outside the territory of each dynasty."

Li Mang listened carefully, and compared them with the history books he read at his brother's house before, and generally understood the pattern of this world, to put it bluntly, Daxing is to occupy the vast plains in the north of China in the previous life, and the territory of Dayi is some coastal areas in the central and eastern regions, and Dawu is really the south, I think Dawu should be the strongest in terms of strength, after all, the territory of the south is too big, as for Tianfu and Nanli, isn't it the southwest region.

Li Mang finally figured out the division of the major territories of the land of Shenzhou and the distribution of national-level forces, and was extremely excited, but it seemed that Bai Qiu had a prejudice against the Dawu Dynasty when he was explaining just now, and he didn't know why, so he asked: "Brother, it seems that you are interested in Dawu...?"

Bai Qiu's face changed greatly when he heard this, and suddenly his whole body was full of murderous energy, his eyes were instantly bloodshot and red, and he gritted his teeth and said: "I have a deep blood feud with Dawu, and the only goal I have in this life is to destroy Dawu and cut off the head of the Dawu Emperor with my own hands."

Bai Qiu was originally covered in blood, and at this time, this murderous aura emerged, like a demon returning from hell, Li Mang looked at him, sighed, and stopped making a sound, I am afraid that it is superfluous to say anything at this time.

......

The two of them walked like this for a whole day before they came to a city, which was no longer as heavily guarded as a border pass, and they entered the city without any interrogation.

This city is called Gucheng, it is a medium-sized city, it is the place of the border pass of the Daxing Dynasty, there is no war at the moment, so this city also seems to be a little empty.

There were not many people in the city, and there were very few people coming and going, so the trade and economy were a little depressed, so the two led their horses and casually found a seemingly good inn to live in to rest.

Bai Qiu was chased and killed all the way, almost without a good rest, at this time he rarely took a hot bath in his room, and pretended to sleep in the bathtub, saying that he was pretending to sleep, but in fact, his heart was extremely active.

Li Mang can also be regarded as his savior, and he has such strength at a young age, and his future achievements are even more immeasurable, if he can encircle this person, it will be a great help to avenge himself, but what can he use to win over this person?

At this time, Bai Qiu was thinking exactly what he was thinking.

He was actually the eldest son of a small royal family, to put it bluntly, he was the prince, and he understood that the situation of the kingdom was worrying when he was very young, but his father was powerless to change the status quo, so he could only pay a large amount of tribute to Dayi and Dawu every year in order to survive, but in the end he was destroyed by Dawu.

He watched one by one his relatives fall under the butcher's knife of the Dawu soldiers, but he could not do anything, he could only flee with hatred along the tunnels of the palace, wandering so far, during which he has experienced countless sieges and interceptions, and it is difficult to survive.

After cleaning up, Bai Qiu finally knocked on Li Mang's door, he thought that Li Mang was a frank and straightforward person, so he decided to confess to Li Mang and explore the wind first.

Li Mang had just washed up, and was lying on the bed boredly looking at the game in his mind, depositing today's ginseng purchase into his backpack, and then looking at the mysterious store, hoping to gain something, at this moment, there was a knock on the door.

Li Mang got up, opened the door, and saw that the white enemy standing outside the door was the one who had been cleaned up. At this time, Bai Qiu was covered with blood as before, only to see a brand-new white martial robe, a slightly thin, thin figure is somewhat similar to Li Mang, and his face is also clean and crisp, but his eyes are still foggy, and there seem to be countless stories hidden in it.

Li Mang was deeply attracted by these eyes at first, and his desire to explore was out of control, so he smiled and let go of his body, made a gesture of please, and then called the little maid not far away, and asked him to prepare some wine and food to send into his room.

The two old men who are not familiar with each other sat opposite each other, if there were no wine and food, it was really a little strange, the two of them stared at each other like this, and were stunned without saying a word, until the little guy knocked on the door and brought the wine and food, and the embarrassing atmosphere was broken.

At this time, it was already the time of the day, the night moon was already hanging in the air, the two of them chatted while eating, but it didn't seem to be a raw point, after a few glasses of water and wine, Bai Qiu finally mustered up the courage to speak, and told everything in his heart, tears actually filled his eyes, Li Mang was silent, just quietly listening to his story.
