CHAPTER XVI

"Li Yuxuan!" the old man said the answer word by word, and in fact, even he didn't know if Li Yuxuan could really save the fate of Yang and his friends, and now the only thing that can be affirmed is that in the "homeland", no matter what his background is, as long as he performs well in the war, he will have the opportunity to become a general of the army. It can be seen from here that Li Yuxuan, as the head of the "homeland", pays attention not to his background, but to his ability. It seems that the only person who can openly raise this slogan in the troubled times is the "homeland", and there is no other semicolon.

"Li Yuxuan?" the young man muttered to himself.

Due to his long life as a slave, the young man knew very little about the outside world, and his master's territory was far away from the battlefield, so there was no way to know who Li Yuxuan was.

The old man thought for a moment before he understood the meaning of the young man's words, and couldn't help but chuckle and said, "It's Li Yuxuan, the head of the homeland, Li Yuxuan." ”

Only then did the young man suddenly realize that he had little knowledge, and his immature and honest face with a man's perseverance showed a hint of shame. However, when he thought that this person named Li Yuxuan was very likely to be the savior of himself and his friends, his curiosity about Li Yuxuan's person suddenly surpassed the little shame in the young man's heart.

"What kind of person is Li Yuxuan, and does he really have the ability to change the fate of me and my friend?" When he asked this sentence, the young man's eyes obviously flashed with eagerness.

The old man didn't notice the change in the eyes of the young man opposite him, but was thinking about the battles that the "homeland" had experienced in the past two years, and thinking about what kind of person Li Yuxuan, a young man who had mastered an empire before he was twenty years old, would be.

The courage to be fearless in the face of danger, the clever political skill, the super dominating power, and the iron-blooded temperament to make decisions at the right time.

After thinking about it carefully, the old man really understood why the duke was optimistic about this young man named Li Yuxuan. This boy is really terrifying, I believe that with the precipitation of the years, he will be more mature and more frightening. And at that time, I really don't know who else in this south has the ability to stop his progress.

Thinking of this, the slaughter of the Dong Castle and the cruelty of flooding Fengcheng, although they did not personally experience it, but from the mouths of those Fengxiang merchants, the tragic situation at that time still made those who had not seen it feel creepy. Hundreds of thousands of corpses were frozen in the translucent river, and that kind of hellish scene was definitely not something that could be summed up in two words.

When the young man saw that the old man did not answer his question, his face turned pale, his eyes were glazed, and he broke out in a cold sweat in this cold winter.

"What's wrong with you?" the young man stood up from the ground and reached out to shake the old man's body.

Coming back from his thoughts, the old man saw Yang with an anxious face in front of him, and smiled slightly: "It's nothing, just remembering some things." I don't know if it's the right thing to do for you to go to him. Did the Duke really do the right thing this time?" In the last two sentences, the old man's voice unconsciously lowered, completely talking to himself.

Seeing that the old man seemed to be about to return to his previous appearance, the young man couldn't help but shake the old man's withered body again.

Coming back from those terrifying imaginations, the old man once again set his eyes on the "giant" in front of him.

"Yes, this may be your only hope, and the last hope of the Duke. ”

The old man reversed the confused eyes just now, regained his previous firmness, and at the same time relaxed his tense nerves, and continued with a slight smile, "I just don't know what will happen to you kid in the future?"

The doctor didn't know what the old man was thinking at the moment, and he didn't know what kind of fate was waiting for him, but he still vaguely felt that the trajectory of his fate was slowly changing, and where it would eventually turn, the doctor didn't know more than the old man now, but that feeling was unusually strong.

"Doctor, I have an important object related to the lives of more than 100,000 people to hand over to you. The old man took out the parchment from his body, "You must do everything in your power to put this thing in the hands of the master of the house." Remember, it's in his hands, and until then, you must not let anyone else, including yourself, see what's inside?"

The old man couldn't help but remind the sturdy young man in front of him in the end.

The doctor nodded stupidly, and took the parchment from the old man's hand with a cautious face, but found that there was no place on his body to store the parchment, and his face couldn't help but blush slightly.

The old man also observed the tattered clothes on the young man's body, and seeing the embarrassment on the young man's face, the old man chuckled and said, "I forgot that I should change your clothes first, go, come with me." ”

Led by the old man, he walked through the alleys of the city and finally came to a rather secluded wooden house.

The old man turned around and observed the situation around him, and only when he was sure that no one was following him did he push the door in. Seeing that the old man had already entered the house, the doctor followed him, and when he entered the door, he had to bow down and bow his head, and the door of the wooden house did seem too short for his stature.

As soon as the doctor entered the room, he felt that the whole person was plunged into darkness, the door of the wooden house was closed with a "squeak" behind him, and the doctor's figure unconsciously took a step back and leaned his whole body against the wooden door. Although his years of slavery have made it difficult for him to communicate in ordinary languages, he also has a keen sense in his body that is different from ordinary people, like a beast. Although the doctor was full of gratitude to the old man from beginning to end, he was still vigilant in the face of this situation. Too many times, he was deceived by others and caught back. So, while he may seem silly on the surface, he may see the darker side of human nature more clearly than many people in their fifties and sixties.

A faint light lit up in the darkness, and the doctor, who had gradually adapted to the darkness, couldn't help but be shocked by the scene in front of him.

In this low and dilapidated hut, there would be such luxurious furnishings. By the faint light of the fire, the doctor could faintly see the delicate soft bed in the corner of the room, and although the doctor was a slave, the owner who bought him every time was a wealthy nobleman. Apparently, the bed was stacked with quilts woven from silk from the distant East. The silk used in this quilt alone is worth more than ten gold coins in the market, which can buy three or four slaves. As for the rest of the furnishings in the house, although the doctor did not know very well. But from the exquisite workmanship and appearance of these furnishings, it can be seen that they are all valuable. Obviously, this old man is a "rich man" hidden in the city.

The old man turned around and was about to hand the oil lamp in his hand to the doctor, but found the doctor leaning against the door, staring at the various decorations in the room with a look of surprise.

"Don't stand, we're running out of time, move quickly, take me first. The old man lowered his voice as much as he could, and handed the oil lamp in his hand to the doctor. Under the faint light of the fire, the old man's face looked extremely hideous, and the doctor's heart couldn't help but tremble slightly.

Slightly sluggish, he took the oil lamp from the old man's hand, and the doctor followed the old man slowly to a corner of the room, where there was a cabinet about half a person high.

The old man took advantage of the faint light in the doctor's hand to open the huge cabinet and bury his whole body in the cabinet.

The doctor's ears heard a small "sighing" sound, and he realized that this huge cabinet was used to hold clothes.

The old man's body was buried lower and lower in the cabinet, and the doctor's curiosity was also aroused little by little.

According to the current situation, the old man must not be looking for the clothes he usually uses, because the clothes he usually uses must not be placed in the depths of the cabinet, otherwise it must be quite inconvenient to use them at ordinary times.

Could it be that this old man has hidden something hidden in the cupboard?

Just when the doctor couldn't help his curiosity and was about to look at what the old man was rummaging through the cabinet, the old man buried in the cabinet let out a slight cheer. Apparently, he was looking for what he was looking for.

As the old man lifted up, a rather wide and gorgeous silk robe appeared in front of the doctor.

Seeing that the old man spent a lot of effort to find such a dress, although it is quite precious (in value), but in the current situation, it seems that it is not necessary. The doctor's confusion was evident on his face.

The old man didn't care what the doctor was thinking at the moment, and gestured twice on the doctor with his hands on his clothes.

"It's really suitable, it seems that the old duke's clothes are suitable for a big man like you!" the old man's pale face now showed an unhealthy flush in the lamplight.

Although the doctor's mind is still a little drowsy now, he also knows that the old man has something to do with this dress.
