Chapter 36: If I Can't Beat It, I'll Definitely Run!

"Brother Li Bai!"

"You wait!"

"Hey! You slow down. ”

“??”

"What's wrong? Third Brother Li, what else do you have to explain? ”

"Hi~!"

"It's nothing, I'm going to ask you one last thing before I go in, are you sure...... Can you really bring down the man-eating monster inside? ”

"You also heard the words of Dou County's order just now, if you can't stop it, then you will die!"

If it was before, Li Sanlang might have felt that the Li Bai in front of him would die if he died, and it wouldn't be a big deal.

But......

After a few days of contact with Li Bai, he felt that the young Xiao Langjun in front of him was a rare handsome, and it seemed that he had read a lot of books, and he was Li San's own family, so it would always be a pity if he died here like this.

"If you don't die, you won't die, anyway, Li Bai is alone, what is there to worry about?"

Li Bai looked a little indifferent on the surface, but what he thought in his heart, he would definitely not explain it to this bad little leader in front of him.

“!!”

"Brother Li Bai, you ......"

Hearing Li Bai say this, Li Sanlang felt a little panicked, opened his mouth, and didn't know what to say.

At the same time, he couldn't help but feel guilty in his heart, and he always felt that he had found this young little Langjun of Brother Li Bai to subdue the demon today, and it was likely to harm the other party?

"Huh!"

"Don't worry, Third Brother Li, although I don't dare to guarantee that I will be able to subdue the monsters, but if the time comes, if the situation is not good, I think it should be no big problem to run."

"You probably don't know yet, do you?"

"I killed some monsters in Yizhou and provoked a monster power, so I had to run to Hangzhou to avoid the limelight."

Li Bai said half-truthfully.

If that 'Mountain God' is a monster, and Heavenly Court is the biggest monster force, then he really didn't lie just now?

"Huh?"

"Is there such a thing? Why have I never heard you talk about it? ”

Hearing that Li Bai had killed monsters when he was in Yizhou, Li Sanlang was a little relieved, but he couldn't help but be a little surprised when he thought that the other party had come so far from Yizhou to Hangzhou to avoid the limelight.

"That's it!"

"Don't worry, Brother Li, it's just a joke, it shouldn't be much of a problem if you think about it."

"That's it!"

"Since Brother Li Bai insists on you, Brother I'll not ask more......

"When you come out, my brother will give you a drink to celebrate!"

After asking a few questions, he found that he didn't get a satisfactory answer, so Li Sanlang had no choice but to follow Li Bai towards the gate of the dungeon like a devouring hell.

"Celebration?"

Li Bai smiled, but he didn't care.

"If you want to celebrate, it is estimated that it will not be your turn to be Third Brother Li, and Dou County is afraid that they will be arranged in front of you when they arrive."

"But ......".

"Third Brother Li, I have a doubt here, I don't know if I should ask?"

“??”

"If there's anything you shouldn't ask, just ask!"

"That's good!"

"That's ......"

"I've never understood that since there are monsters in the city...... Then why didn't you go to the city god sooner? I've heard people say that for a big thing like this in the city, shouldn't you go to the city god to help you submit it as soon as possible? ”

"I remember, this should be the duty of the city god, right? Otherwise, what is the use of receiving so many incense tributes during the New Year's holidays? ”

A big city like Hangzhou, when it came to the place where Chengdu City was still developed during the Southern Song Dynasty, if there was no City God Temple in it, then Li Bai would not believe it anyway.

In this world, there are mountain gods in the mountains, water has water kings, cities naturally have city gods, small places will also have land, and there are three emperors, six emperors, five elders in the five directions, and the three official emperors, the four heavenly kings, the four value gongcao, the four heavenly masters, the four gods and so on.

It can be said that every inch of land, lakes, rivers and skies in this world has long been occupied by people, either occupied by the human race, monsters or gods, or the three are mixed with each other to perform their own duties?

Anyway, judging from what Li Bai has learned over the years, the current situation here in Hangzhou, it must be reasonable for the official to come forward to find Chenghuang, and he also believes that the official of this world must have the means to contact those immortals, otherwise the human dynasty would not have lasted so long.

"This ......"

However, hearing Li Bai's words, Li Sanlang's expression looked a little unnatural, and even his speech became slurred.

“!!”

"How?"

"Could it be...... Can't even the city god bring down that monster? ”

Li Bai was shocked, if that was the case, it would be best for him to just turn his head and run away without saying a word, and run as far as he wanted, so that he would not easily get involved in this kind of thing that could kill him.

"Not really."

"It's not that you can't find Chenghuang at the moment, but you really don't dare to find it!"

"Brother Li, let me tell you......."

hesitated, and first turned his head to look at the back, feeling that this place was far enough away from Dou Xianling and the others behind, and after expecting that those people couldn't hear the conversation between the two of them, Li Sanlang pulled Li Bai over and whispered secretly:

"You don't know, do you?"

"If you are looking for Chenghuang, you have to report it to Suzhou Prefecture! In this situation, it's too late for Dou County to hide, how dare you do that? ”

“??”

"But I don't understand, why is that?"

"What else?"

"It's not that he was too bad in his exams last year? He...... He got a 'middle and lower' last year, this time if he was known by the top that there was a demon in Hangzhou and the county order was unfavorable to fight, killing many lives, and finally reporting to the Suzhou government to implore the city god to dispatch, I am afraid that this year's examination class will have to be lowered again, and then he will really give a 'lower' evaluation, then he will not say that he wants to be promoted, but I am afraid that it will be difficult to protect even the black yarn hat! ”

Li Sanlang said with some schadenfreude.

It seems that he usually doesn't seem to be very satisfied with that Dou County Order, but he doesn't know if it's because the other party's reputation is not good, or because the other party's behavior in some aspects makes them unscrupulous, or because he has neglected them as subordinates?

"I see......."

Nodding, Li Bai said that he probably understood, and didn't say anything more, and continued to walk forward.

It turns out that the Chenghuang is equivalent to an important local 'deterrent' force against demons and monsters, but this kind of 'force' cannot be easily used by ordinary counties, and once it needs to be used, it must be approved by the superiors, or are there other restrictions?

Therefore, if they can solve the problem by themselves, for the sake of face, those county commanders and county officials will definitely not use the last resort casually, so as not to make people feel how incompetent and derelict they are in governing a county?

"That's it!"

"However, Third Brother Li ......"

When the two came to the door of the cell, Li Bai stopped.

"What's the matter?"

Li Saburo didn't look back, but shivered and took out the key to open the door of the cell locked by thick iron bars.

"You ......"

"Could it be that you are trying to trick me into coming to the dungeon, and then lock me in as soon as the door closes?"

Seeing that the other party looked so nervous and like a great enemy, and even the hand that unlocked the lock was a little trembling, Li Bai, who was a little blind, laughed and teased.

"Ahem!!"

"Brother Li Bai, when has this been, who has time to play that kind of joke with you?"

"Hurry up and get in, Dou County outside has made them wait for a long time, if you can't get out before the dusk drum, they will definitely leave you and run back first."

"When the time comes, I'll re-lock this door, and you'll have no place to run!"

As he spoke, Li Sanlang pulled the thick chain and pushed open the door of the cell with force, signaling that Li Bai could enter now. However, he, Li Sanlang, would definitely not follow him in and send him to death, after all, he is not a strange person, and he does not have the ability to fight monsters.

"Huh!"

"It's okay, if I can't get out, you just have to lock it up!"

Anyway, the mud walls of this dungeon are only about two people high, and the other party is really not locked at all for him, if he is in a hurry to come out, he can just find a random place and jump over it, where is it so troublesome to walk through the gate?

Therefore, frowning and staring at the courtyard inside the wide open cell gate, Li Bai, who did not find anything particularly famous, had to frown and grit his teeth and take a step forward with his legs open, intending to go in and subdue a certain 'wild monster' entrenched inside!

He is Li Bai, Li Bai who is unique in poetry and sword, an existence like a little bully in the wild area, just one or a few monsters, how can he be afraid?

In case you really can't beat it......

He ran away directly, what was he afraid of?

Anyway, this city is not his family, there are no relatives and friends here, and he is not a civil servant of the government.

"Humph!"

Come on!

With a three-foot sword in hand, there are no unkillable demons and monsters!

After thinking about it, Li Bai, who felt that he really shouldn't have too much psychological burden, generously strode over the threshold of the cell with firm steps under the gaze of Li Sanlang, who was nervous on the side, and those county commanders and soldiers in the distance, who were admiring, suspicious, or unbelieving.
