Chapter 4: Out of the Dungeon

"Eh, I'm just asking you, if you can really go out, what do you want to do?" The old man was not angry, put down the cane in his left hand, and sat back down.

Li Changfeng looked up at the wall above, and said in deep thought, "If you can really get out...... Then I will abandon the identity of this scholar Xiucai, throw my pen from Rong, and worship the Northern Tu Army, he may be able to calm this troubled world one day and kill Li Mang, the faint king. ”

"The ambition is quite big, but you have no power to restrain the chicken, what do you do to calm the troubled times? Besides, there are 800,000 elite soldiers under Li Muyuan in the northern soil, and it doesn't seem to make any difference if there is more of you and less of you, right?"

"You old man, you asked me to say what I wanted to do when I went out, and you mocked me when I said it!" Li Changfeng looked at the old man with a look of resentment.

The old man laughed, and then said, "Boy, the old man sees that he is destined for you, so he will tell you some big truths. The Nine Kingdoms of the Central Plains fell apart, although the strength of the Tianxi Dynasty ranked first a hundred years ago, but it was also in the last hundred years that the princes of the dynasty have defected, fighting for each other, and expanding their territory vigorously. Especially Li Muyuan, who is majestic in the north, the 800,000 northern barbarian iron cavalry under his command is not just talking, when Li Ye, the king of Yishan, rebelled, relying on this steel force under his hand, he beat down nearly half of the original territory of the Tianxi Dynasty for tens of thousands of miles!"

Li Changfeng frowned, and couldn't help asking, "Why are you telling me this?"

The old man waved his hand and chuckled: "Eh, don't worry, you kid, wait until I'm done." ”

"You say you want to defect to Li Muyuan's account, but what are you going to do to defect? Is it just your prison uniform? Or is it your little arms and legs? The world is chaotic, not everyone is like you, just starting out and not understanding the dangers of the rivers and lakes. Although on the surface, it seems that Li Muyuan wants to destroy this Tianxi Dynasty, which is to eliminate harm for the people, but in fact, do you really know why he is The old man told you that all the princes with heavy troops coveted the dragon chair under Li Mang's buttocks. It is the people who suffer, but in the end it is those big men who get the benefits, if you throw yourself into the northern soil, with you like this, you must only be a pawn in front of the battalion, when the war drums sound, even if you kill the enemy bravely, then no one can remember your name, in the final analysis, it is just a chess piece in the hands of those generals, or the kind of use and throw. ”

Li Changfeng was shocked by the old man's words, he didn't expect to meet such an old guy in this cage that has never seen the light of day.

"Why do you know so much?"

The old man smiled slightly, and the wrinkles on his face became denser, "Presumably, in the past ten years, you kid has been busy trying to gain fame, how can you know the darkest side of the world? ”

"What way?"

"One is to defend one side, with more than 10,000 soldiers, with a group of loyal and righteous subordinates, no one will dare to provoke you easily!"

Li Changfeng shook his head with a wry smile, moved his buttocks, and made himself sit more comfortably: "This is impossible, I have nothing, who will follow me willingly?"

The old man glanced at him, took a deep breath and said, "Therefore, the old man still thinks that this second path is suitable for you." If you want not to be bullied and live a proud life, then you must let others be jealous of you, since you say that you don't want to take the first road, then you can only rely on your own strength, if you can learn the ability to kill people to save your life, and make your own prestige in this martial arts, who will dare to trouble you at that time? Do you think what the old man said is reasonable?

Li Changfeng suddenly laughed when he heard this, shook his head and stretched out his hand, pointing at the old man: "I now wonder if your old man is crazy, I am now eighteen years old, you let me practice? Not to mention whether I can practice, just in this situation, I can't even get out of the dungeon, what do you say is the use of this?"

The old man suddenly smiled strangely and said in a deep voice: "Boy, what if the old man can save you out?"

Li Changfeng waved his hand, not believing that the old man in front of him could save himself: "You old man himself is in the same field as me, you can't get out, how can you save me?"

The old man didn't speak, but slowly stood up, took a deep breath, violently shattered the iron chain on his body, lifted the crutch in his hand, and waved it forward, only to see a true qi rush towards the wooden door of the cell, and the hard wooden door suddenly shattered in response to the sound and turned into powder!

Li Changfeng was stunned.

"Now do you think the old man can save you?" the old man turned his head and grinned at Li Changfeng, his face full of confidence.

Li Changfeng only came back to his senses at this time, now he is beaten to death and he doesn't dare to say a word, don't you see, this old guy smashed a cell with a cane, if this is on himself...... He felt scared when he thought about it.

"Who the hell are you?"

The old man didn't look at Li Changfeng, but said lightly: "When we go out safely, the old man will tell you!"

After speaking, another crutch smashed Li Changfeng's cell, and his hands broke the shackles on his body. Pull this kid and run outside, although this old man only has one leg left, but the one that runs is called a fast, Li Changfeng even thinks that if the old man's other leg is still there, it can definitely be compared to the Shenxing Taibao back then!

When he rushed to the door of the dungeon, there were three jailers drinking and eating, and the old man did not say a word, but went down with a cane, and all three of them were shocked by a wave of true qi and lay on the ground unconscious.

"Hey, hey, you let me go first!" Li Changfeng struggled and shouted.

The old man let go of his hand for some reason, only to see Li Changfeng running to the wooden table next to him and picking up a roast chicken: "Okay, let's go." ”

The old man secretly swallowed his saliva, his eyes seemed to hate iron but not steel, and pointed at Li Changfeng's head: "You kid, you can't be a little promising!"

After speaking, he pulled Li Changfeng's left arm, his body turned sharply, like a breeze, and he left the dungeon with a cup of tea.

It wasn't until the old man stopped that Li Changfeng realized that he was not dreaming, but was really rescued by the old man in front of him.

"Where are you going now?" Li Changfeng grunted as his mouth was stuffed with roast chicken.

The old man glanced at him and took a deep breath: "Go to the inn! Seeing that you eat so vigorously, the old man is also hungry." ”

"If you had said it earlier, wouldn't I have left some for you? Besides, now that we are both important criminals in the imperial court, what if we don't run away now, what if they catch up later?"

"Why are you talking so much!" The old man glared at him fiercely, his eyes seemed to be able to kill, and Li Changfeng was so frightened that he suddenly closed his mouth.

Thinking of the hands that the old man showed just now, Li Changfeng suddenly felt cold, the people imprisoned in the dungeon were all extremely vicious, so the old man in front of him ......

He didn't dare to think further, so he had to follow the old man to an inn.

"Xiao Er, bring you all the good wine and food!" As soon as he entered the inn, the old man shouted at Xiao Er.

It didn't take long for the old man and Li Changfeng to have a wooden table full of all kinds of delicacies, and the old man didn't say a word, picked up a jar of wine, carried a roast chicken, and ate it like a whirlwind.

Li Changfeng also wanted to eat, but when he picked up the chopsticks and wanted to clip a few pieces of meat, the old man's unkind gaze came over, and the kid was so frightened that he hurriedly put down the chopsticks and sat there in a daze, not daring to squeak.

After half a ring, a table full of dishes entered the old man's stomach, Li Changfeng looked at the scraps on the table, and couldn't help swallowing saliva, seeing him like this, the old man actually smiled slightly, and called the little two over: "Go and get two roast chickens again!"

Xiao Er answered, and after a while, he took two roast chickens and placed them in front of Li Changfeng.

"Oh, don't say that the old man bullied you, eat it!" the old man glanced at Li Changfeng and said with a pout.

Li Changfeng didn't say a word, and he didn't care about Si Buswen, he gnawed on the roast chicken in his hand, and his mouth was full of oil.

After he had eaten and drunk enough, he burped and looked at the old man, only to find that the old man was also looking at him.

"Knot...... Check out. Li Changfeng said hesitantly.

The old man glared at him and wiped his mouth: "What is the bill?"

"You have to pay money for this meal, right?"

"The old man walks the rivers and lakes, and he never carries silver on him, have you brought it?"

"I didn't bring ...... either"

"That's a!" the old man didn't say a word, but ran out of the inn with his crutches.

Seeing that the old man had run away, Li Changfeng suddenly panicked, and saw that the innkeeper seemed to be walking towards him with a kitchen knife, and he also shouted, following the direction of the old man's departure, running wildly.

There was a scolding voice from the inn junior behind him, Li Changfeng was somehow still faintly excited in his heart, this was the first time in his life that he had done such a "loss of conscience", and an inexplicable excitement hit his heart.

The two of them ran out of the inn for a long time before stopping, at this time Li Changfeng was already tired and out of breath, but the old man was not uncomfortable at all.

"Where are you going now?" Li Changfeng asked the old man.

"Out of town!"

Li Changfeng was stunned for a moment, this broad daylight ...... Out of the city? When those soldiers who defend the city grow up eating grass, what if they are caught again?

But the old man didn't wait for him to speak, he had already pulled him towards the outside of the city of Beihanzhou, along the way Li Changfeng scolded in his heart, but he didn't dare to squeak, this old guy is good or evil now, if he makes him feel that he is a burden, and then kill himself and kill himself, then who will he cry to?

Walking to the gate of the city, I saw more than a dozen officers and soldiers guarding there, although Li Changfeng had been arrested, but these people still did not seem to have received instructions, so they were still closely checking the people who came and went.

Seeing such a formation, Li Changfeng suddenly stopped, and the old man couldn't pull it away: "Old man, I think it's better to forget it, so many people, why don't we wait until the evening, when the moon is dark and the wind is high?"

The old man glared at him, sighed and said, "Before, in the dungeon, the old man thought you were some kind of hero, but when I met a few small soldiers, I scared you like this, what big things can you achieve in the future?"

Li Changfeng was ashamed, but he didn't dare to say more.

The old man pulled his arm, his strength seemed to be a little stronger, and he walked towards the city gate with a cane, Li Changfeng sighed, anyway, he was a person who was convicted and was about to die, even if he was caught again, it didn't seem to be a big deal.

At this time, the officers and soldiers guarding the city also saw the two of them, one of them was the person who arrested Li Changfeng before, and when he saw Li Changfeng coming over, the man was stunned, didn't this kid just be sent in?

"Li Changfeng?" the officer and soldier stopped the two of them, their brows furrowed.

Li Changfeng couldn't help pursing his lips, glanced at the one-legged old man beside him, and didn't speak again.

But before the officer and soldier could make a move, he saw the old man raise the cane in his hand and sweep it horizontally, and a true qi swept out, shaking the officer and soldier upside down and slamming him to the ground.

The officer and soldier opened his mouth and spat out a pool of blood, and commanded the people around him: "Grandma, stop them, don't let the two of them escape!"

Suddenly, more than a dozen officers and soldiers pulled out their swords at their waists, and slowly approached the old man and Li Changfeng.

The old man snorted coldly, and with another crutch, the entire dozen officers and soldiers were all swept to the ground, and just like the previous officers and soldiers, they fell to the ground and vomited blood.

Li Changfeng was stunned again. This one-legged old guy is really ruthless!

The old man didn't say a word, and pulled Li Changfeng out of the Northern Hanzhou City, but at this time, hundreds of officers and soldiers rushed from the city, and the first one was dressed in black iron armor and held a black big knife in his hand, sat on horseback, and drank the old man.

"Wang Laogou, do you really want to save this kid?"

The person who came was Cao Zhenhai, the commander of the Northern Hanzhou garrison, who is now in his forties, who received the imperial court's decree two years ago and was ordered to guard the Northern Hanzhou, with more than 30,000 elite soldiers.

Hearing someone call the old man "Wang Lao Dog", Li Changfeng almost laughed, but the old man only glared at him slightly, and he covered his mouth.

The old man, who should be called "Wang Lao Dog" at this time, turned to look at Cao Zhenhai, his face was full of disdain: "Hehe, the old man not only wants to save him, but also protects him, do you have any opinions?"

Cao Zhenhai's eyes were not good, he looked Li Changfeng up and down, and said lightly: "Of course I don't dare to have any opinions, but this kid is not a big person. You don't know him, so why do you protect him? You know, you're planning to be an enemy of the Holy One, so you don't think about it?"

Wang Laogou laughed, let go of Li Changfeng, looked at his empty left leg, and his voice was extremely cold: "Hehe, Holy Master, if it weren't for that faint king Li Mang, how could the old man lose this left leg...... The old man and Li Mang are incompatible, but within five years, if he doesn't take the initiative to trouble me, I won't provoke him, this kid and the old man like it tightly, as long as the old man is there, none of you can hurt him in the slightest!"

"If you can protect him for a while, can you still protect him for a lifetime?" Wang Laogou, why are you suffering?" Cao Zhenhai sighed slowly and shook his head.

"Five years from now, you can find trouble with this kid, and if you don't go out of line at that time, the old man will never interfere!" said Wang Laogou Zhengse.

"This is what you said, and when I go back, I will present all the original numbers of what I talked about today to the Holy One, you have to think about it!"

"Get out! Don't force the old man to kill!" After Wang Laogou said this, an indescribable momentum floated on his body, and everyone present felt cold, as if they had fallen into an ice hole.

Cao Zhenhai had no choice but to ride his horse back, take the more than 100 officers and soldiers, and return to Beihanzhou City by the same route.

At this time, Li Changfeng carefully looked at the one-legged old man, and never thought that this old guy would have such an ugly name as "Wang Laogou", not only that, but also a ghostly and unpredictable martial arts, and the origin seemed to be very big, even Cao Zhenhai, the commander of the Northern Hanzhou Guard, was afraid of him.

Where did he come from?

Looking at Li Changfeng's puzzled eyes, Wang Laogou grinned at him, so frightened that Li Changfeng suddenly covered his mouth and didn't dare to say more.

"Boy, go back and tell you all this again, now you still follow the old man closely, if they let them get a gap and catch you by tricks, then your kid will die!"

Li Changfeng glanced at the old dog, and had to follow behind him timidly, not knowing where to go.

But at the moment he had no other choice, if this one-legged old man didn't protect him, then he really had no other way. Writing disobedient words caused Li Mang to be furious, and the entire dynasty wanted him, this kind of crime, his small body really can't stand it.

It's only to blame that he was indignant at the time, and wrote that seven-character quatrain with a white face in a hurry, which led to today's situation, and was ordered to be arrested by the imperial court, and there was nowhere to go within the four seas. But he didn't regret it at all, in his opinion, he was not at fault, the fault was only on the faint king Li Mang.

The sun is rising, the breeze is blowing, and in mid-March, it is neither cool nor warm.

It has been more than ten days since the previous imperial examination, and it is the time of the handover of spring and summer, the sun is shining on the earth, but it is not hot, the breeze is blowing slowly, and it is not as cold as before.

Li Changfeng followed behind Wang Laogou and slowly walked north, not knowing where to go, he didn't ask, and Wang Laogou didn't say.

Wang Laogou walked with a limp on a cane, although he lost a leg, but his speed was not slow, Li Changfeng had to take a step and stride forward to catch up with him.

At this time, I saw that Wang Laogou, who was walking slowly, suddenly turned his head, glanced at Li Changfeng, and said to himself: "Boy, it's rare that you can calm down, after walking for so long, you don't ask where the old man wants to take you?"

Li Changfeng pursed his lips, spread his hands and said, "If I ask, will you tell me?"

"How do you know if you don't try?"

"And where are we going?"

"Why did the old man tell you!"

Li Changfeng couldn't help swallowing his saliva, how could this old man be so ...... Cheap!

But he didn't dare to say this kind of thing, if he made this old dog unhappy, he would give himself a few blows, maybe he would lose half his life!

Wang Laogou laughed, and said without looking back: "Your kid is eighteen years old this year?"

"Ah, what's wrong?" Li Changfeng replied on tiptoe, as he walked.

"Nothing, eighteen...... It's not small, but if you can put your mind to it, you can also learn some skills. Wang Laogou thought for a while, and couldn't help frowning.

"What skills do you learn?" Li Changfeng suddenly asked, but it was the crutch in Wang Laogou's hand that greeted him.

I saw that Wang Laogou stopped, rounded the cane in his hand with his left arm, and smashed it heavily on Li Changfeng's buttocks, and the kid jumped up with a bang.
