In the blink of an eye, winter has turned to spring! The weather has not yet fully warmed up, and the sky is full of dark clouds.

At this time, the sun had completely set the mountain, and a drop of rain fell from the sky and hit Li Xiangri's face, and a torrential downpour followed. Li Xiangri was lying on the bluestone slab of the street, and the surroundings were in a mess, and the people didn't know where to hide. Empty eyes stared blankly at the sky, rain and tears slid down his cheeks. A blush spread from beneath him.

"Bang bang!" a group of men in janissary uniforms ran from the side.

"Li Xiangri, how are you? Is there anything wrong?" Tong Qian squatted down and helped Li Xiangri up. The latter looked at him with a dull gaze, and Tong Qian shouted to the rear: "Come on, go to the doctor, Li Xiangri is injured!"

The two Praetorian Guards hurriedly brought a stretcher and put Li Xiangri on it. Tong Qian commanded: "You take Li Xiangri back, I will chase the enemy, and immediately inform Zhong Liyan, I may not last long." With that, he turned around and prepared to leave. Li Xiangri suddenly stretched out a hand to grab Tong Qian's arm, Tong Qian turned his head to look at Li Xiangri on the stretcher, who shook his head at him. Tong Qian sighed and said, "Alas, I'm not going to chase it!"

The group hurried off the street again, and the footsteps faded away. In the shadows of the alley, the blood droplets on the ground stretched into the depths. Suddenly, a bloody hand clung to the corner. A figure gradually emerged, and the man, known as the Black Bat, moved his steps weakly and walked forward.

Seventeen years ago.

The army pressed the border, and Ziyang's defenders were on pins and needles, although the enemy was already at the end of the light crossbow, but this counterattack still caught many people off guard.

The bustling bazaar was still bustling, as if the war had nothing to do with them.

"Sell steamed buns, sell steamed buns! Freshly baked meat buns!" the bloated fat boss shouted on the side of the street. At this time, a little beggar walked to the bun shop with his stomach covered, and the fat boss saw a dirty beggar appear in front of him, and hurriedly scolded: "You stinky beggar, leave quickly, don't smoke my buns!"

The beggar looked at the fat boss pitifully and said, "Uncle, I haven't eaten for three days, please give me a bun!" The fat boss saw that the beggar was really pitiful, and he didn't want him to continue to pester himself at the door of his shop, so he was ready to take out two buns for him.

At this moment, the proprietress who was in the back kitchen saw this scene, hurriedly walked out of the door, crossed her hands on her waist, and reprimanded: "You fool, a bun is five cents, you give him two, the old lady and I will earn ten cents less, if you dare to give him the bun, I will break your legs." ”

was reprimanded by the proprietress this time, and the fat boss suddenly hesitated in his heart. Seeing that the boss was about to take back the buns, the beggar rushed to the counter with an arrow, snatched the two buns from the fat boss's hand and ran away. The fat boss was caught off guard and was snatched away by him, and stood there dumbfounded. But the proprietress reacted quickly, grabbed the broom and chased it out, and scolded in her mouth: "You little rabbit cub, dare to grab the old lady's buns, see if I catch up with you and don't kill you!"

It was too late for the fat boss to stop him, so he had to turn around and say to the two guys next to him, "Why don't you go and help the boss lady?"

Just when everyone's eyes were attracted to this little beggar, another beggar was already lurking outside the kitchen window. The same teenage child, opened his torn clothes, put the buns in the pot one by one, and looked around from time to time while loading. The fat boss inadvertently turned around, and happened to see the beggar stealing the buns, and immediately shouted: "Oh yes!

The young beggar did not panic at all when he saw that he had been discovered, made a grimace at the fat boss and ran away.

Just when the proprietress was chasing after the two little beggars, suddenly a voice came from nowhere, "Oh no, the enemy is attacking the city!"

Before the words fell, a rain of arrows fell from the sky. The proprietress just grabbed the beggar who stole the bun and said, "You thief, look at the old age and don't beat you to death!" Just when the little beggar thought that he could not escape a violent beating, the proprietress suddenly froze, although she looked angry, but her eyes gradually lost their luster. Immediately after that, the beggar's hand also lost its strength and fell to the ground. When the little beggar looked at it, a sharp arrow hit the back of the boss's head, and white brains flowed out of the hole.

The little beggar looked up and saw that the street was full of people hiding in Tibet, screaming one after another. A sharp arrow struck the little beggar at his feet, waking him up from his stupor. The beggar who grabbed the bun hurriedly grabbed him and said, "Xiao Ri, run!

In the crumbling grass house, two beggars huddled together, listening to the sound of crying father and mother outside. The unrest continued into the night, and although the defenders withstood the enemy's onslaught, they suffered heavy losses. Countless civilians died at the hands of the enemy's arrows.

The next morning, the two little beggars walked out of the grass hut tremblingly, only to see dead bodies everywhere on the street, and a foul smell hit. The two hurriedly hid in the grass hut again. In the afternoon, the hungry little day sneaked out of the grass hut and searched for food among the corpses on the street.

At night, for some reason, Xiao Ri suddenly developed a high fever, his face was red, his ears were red, he was panting heavily, and his limbs were weak. Xiao Ri looked at his companions who were at a loss beside him, and said in a weak voice: "Xiao Yue, am I about to die?"

Xiao Yue was already anxious, sweating like rain, and said, "What nonsense are you talking about? You will definitely be fine in a while!"

Xiao Ri couldn't open his eyes anymore, the corners of his mouth trembled, but he couldn't make a sound, and his consciousness gradually blurred. In Xiao Ri's life memory, the last sentence he heard at that time was, "Xiao Ri, you wait for me a little! I'll go find you a doctor, I'll be back soon, you must wait for me to come back......

Later, the defenders held out until reinforcements arrived. Xiao Ri did not wait for Satsuki, he was discovered by the army, the soldiers took him into the barracks, and the military doctor cured him of his illness, but he never saw Satsuki again. Later, the army pooled children like them without parents and trained them to become part of the army. Xiao Ri was promoted all the way because of his outstanding performance. Until one day, the guards of the capital city threw an olive branch to him, and from then on, Li Xiangri's name began to spread in the rivers and lakes.

"Brother Li, this is the list of wanted criminals in recent times, take a look!"

Later, Li Xiangri, who had become a janissary, sat in the hall, and his subordinates put a stack of wanted notices in front of him. Li Xiangri picked it up casually and flipped through it. After a few seconds, his eyes were fixed on one of the wanted notices.

"Come on, bring my equipment, I'm going to Ziyang!"

Fifteen years later, Ziyang has not changed much from before, and the bun shop is still conspicuous in the market, but the fat boss back then has wrinkles on his face, and there is no longer the proprietress who reprimanded loudly.

"Boss, here are two steamed buns, they want to be freshly baked!" Li Xiangri stepped forward and greeted the boss. The wrinkled smile looked particularly vicissitudes on the boss's face, "Master, are there only two?" the boss asked.

"Yes, just two, that's enough!"

"Well, wait a minute!"

Li Xiangri, who was holding a bun in his hand, walked to the former thatched house alone, but found that it had long disappeared and was replaced by a school. The sound of reading came from the school. Li Xiangri was about to step forward to take a closer look, when he saw an old woman come out and said, "This military master, there are some poor children inside, please don't disturb them." ”

Li Xiangri was stunned for a moment, then reacted and asked, "Old woman, when did you build this school here!" The old woman saw that Li Xiangri had no malicious intentions, so she put her mind at ease and said: "It was already three years ago, an unknown hero spent money to build this school, and hired a few teachers to hand over the children to study. ”

"Do you know where this hero is now?"

The old woman shook her head and said, "I don't know this old man, I have only met him once over the years, and then he secretly put the money for the children in the room from time to time, and no one knows when he came. Li Xiangri nodded, and said, "Why were you so scared when you saw me just now?" The old woman said: "Master Jun, you don't know, since the government knows about this private school, it has come to collect protection money every once in a while, threatening us not to say anything, and intimidating the children!"

Li Xiangri was taken aback and said, "Is there such a thing?" The old woman sighed and said, "They said that the one who provided for this school was a big villain, and they also asked the children not to believe in the legend of the school. After hearing this, Li Xiangri's heart was on fire, and he took out a token from his waist and gave it to the old woman, and said, "No matter who comes to trouble in the future, you can show them this!"

The old woman took the token, and saw two thin bronze dragons connected end to end wrapped in a circle, with a big word "forbidden" in the middle.

After a few words of greeting, Li Xiangri went straight to the local government.

"Yo! It turned out that the lord of the Praetorian Guard was here, and the lower officials were disappointed, please atone for their sins!" Li Xiangri ignored him, walked straight to the lobby of the official mansion, sat on a chair, and asked, "What's going on with the private school in the city?"

The county commander was stunned for a moment, and then hurriedly said: "It's such an adult, three years ago, there was a fugitive who funded the construction of the school, and the lower official thought that since it was built by a fugitive, it should be owned by the government." Moreover, in order to prevent them from hiding fugitives, the lower officials will occasionally go to investigate!"

After hearing this, Li Xiangri gave a smile and said, "So that's the case!" Seeing Li Xiangri smiling, the county magistrate said with a smile: "Why are adults interested in this school?" Li Xiangri stood up and walked out of the door, suddenly stretched out his right hand and waved, only to see that the two pillars outside the gate of the official mansion were cut off by Qi Qi, Li Xiangri said with a cold face: "From now on, if you dare to be rude to the school again, the end will be the same as these two pillars!"

The county commander was so frightened that his face turned like dirt, and he quickly knelt on the ground and said, "What the adults teach is that the little ones don't dare anymore!" After speaking, he knocked dozens of heads in a row. Li Xiangri turned his head and said, "Not only can't you move, you have to show me a good look, and no one else can fight the idea of the academy!"

Looking at the figure of Li Xiangri preparing to leave, the county commander just breathed a sigh of relief, but saw Li Xiangri turn around and said, "There is one more thing I want to ask you, who is the fugitive you mentioned just now?"
