The wolves could no longer calm down. They quietly surrounded the suddenly arriving prey, as if they were in for a surprise. They roared one by one, their eyes brightened even more, and their pink tongues kept licking their sharp teeth. It seemed that they were already there.

I couldn't help but have a big meal.

The wolf sneaked up behind the horse and tried to rip out the horse's belly first.

The figure didn't even look at it. The tail of an iron gun on the horse's back quickly poked back. The polished iron tail effortlessly smashed the head of the sneak attack wolf, waiting for him to pull it out.

When he fired the iron gun, seven or eight wolves had already surrounded him.

The horses snorted uneasily, their hooves kept hitting the ground, and the dust was flying like fog.

"Roar…………"

The wolves pounced on the horses one after another. The thin old horse seemed to feel the smell of blood in the air. Its huge eyes were dyed red, its head raised and neighing, and it rushed out quickly. The man on the horse held a hand made of fine iron.

For a moment, he looked like a general wearing armor. The dust under the moonlight was like a shimmering armor, shrouding one person and one horse like a cheer. The figures flashed, and the whistling wind made the ears resonate. The iron gun

Every time he swallowed, there was a cold light flashing, and then red flowers exploded. Finally, behind the man and the horse, only wolf corpses were left everywhere.

Li Yi and the other three stared blankly at what was happening. Their three pairs of eyes were wide open with disbelief on their faces. They looked like three big toads, which was extremely funny.

The man laughed in a low voice, jumped off his horse, strode over, stepped on one wolf's head into the neck cavity, and smashed the other wolf's head with the gun blade.

When I looked at the last wolf, the wolf that was so ferocious just now whined and screamed, turned around with its tail between its legs and ran away into the mountains.

The thick bloody smell of the dead wolves floated into the air, and the howls of the wolves disappeared. The wolves also fled one after another and quickly disappeared into the darkness. After a while, the shrill wails of the wolves were heard in the mountain forest, calling for their fallen comrades.

Long lasting condolences.

Li Yi and the others also reacted, knelt down without any hesitation, and loudly thanked the passers-by for their life-saving grace.

A drop of kindness should be repaid by a spring of water, not to mention this kind of life-saving kindness. Li Yi doesn't know why people in this era value kindness so much, but people who don't pay attention to kindness and loyalty will obviously not be able to integrate into this era.

The man smiled and nodded, taking off the bamboo hat on his head, revealing an old face and a head full of silver hair.

"You three are quite interesting. You are so young that you are able to fight against a pack of wolves. Such bravery is rare. It has been many years since I have such a strong love for talents." The old man said with a smile on his face.

"What are your names?" the old man asked.

The three of them looked at each other and motioned for Li Yi to speak. This action made the curiosity in the old man's eyes even stronger.

Li Yi replied: "The villain is Li Yi, and these are Li Si and Wang Jin. The three of us went into the mountains to hunt. We ended up in this situation because we had no time to get down from the mountains and were targeted by wolves."

"You speak clearly and coherently." The old man's eyes focused on Li Yi's face and said: "Why does your baby look a little strange?"

After finishing speaking, he walked up. Before Li Yi could react, the old man pinched his wrist. The old man's old hand only stayed for a moment, and then kept knocking on Li Yi's muscles and bones. His expression was solemn, as if he was looking at something strange.

He couldn't help but let out a sigh, looking very surprised.

Finally, he took back his hand, looked at Li Yi with a pair of sharp eyes like an eagle, and said solemnly: "Your body is really strange. The strength of your flesh and blood is like that of a master who has practiced martial arts for a long time, and your muscles and bones also seem to have practiced extremely advanced physical training."

The skills are so close that they are beyond ordinary people. Boy, tell me, which family are you descended from?"

Li Yi shook his head, not understanding what the old man was talking about.

"Eh? Aren't you a descendant of a martial arts family? You don't look like one of our generals. Are you from a sect?" the old man asked doubtfully.

"My dear friend, we are all refugees from the northwest. Li Yi is my cousin. He is not a master, and he has never practiced martial arts." Wang Jin bravely explained.

"How is this possible?" The old man's face changed, his eyes were fixed on Li Yi, and his spear suddenly struck Li Yi on the chest, sending him flying backwards.

Seeing the benefactor in front of them suddenly shot away Li Yi, Li Si, Wang Jin rushed over without hesitation, but they were all swept away by the iron gun, leaving no resistance at all.

"I really don't know the moves. It seems that I am very lucky, and I have met a rare martial arts wizard." The old man smiled and said: "Baby, are you willing to learn martial arts from me? If you are willing, quickly kowtow to become your master, and then go on the road with me."

Li Yi shook his head and got up intact. The old man was just testing and did not hurt him.

"This is a strange thing. People used to beg me to be my teacher. Today, I rarely open my mouth, but I was rejected. It's so conscious." The old man was startled for a moment, exhaled, and looked at Li Yi sitting on the ground.

, asked with some reluctance: "Baby, why don't you want to become my teacher? You know, there are not many people in the world who are better than me, and there is no shop like this after passing this village."

Seeing the old man's unwilling expression, Li Yi knew that this man was highly skilled in martial arts and had an aura of calmness and self-reliance, so he secretly thought that he must not be an ordinary person.

As soon as his thoughts moved, he made a decision in his heart, and bowed to the younger generation: "It's not that the younger generation is unwilling, but my mother is still suffering from hunger and cold, and she still needs the younger generation to serve her. How can she make her own decisions and only care about her own future?"

After saying this, he added: "But if senior can accept the three of us and agree to let my mother follow us and let the younger generation repay the kindness of raising me, I believe that my mother will definitely be willing for me to worship you as my teacher. I don't know what senior wants.

?”

These words were reasonable and affectionate. The first half of the sentence showed Li Yi's attitude, and the second half used a discussion tone to express the appropriate solution. It was considered sincere.

The old man nodded and secretly thought that this child was quite smart and he liked him even more. However, after thinking for a moment, he showed a look of embarrassment on his face.

He was very torn. As a member of the older generation of the northwest generals, he went to the capital this time, ostensibly to express his loyalty to the new emperor on behalf of the northwest generals. In fact, his main purpose was to negotiate with the Donglin Party, which represented the southeastern plutocrats.

.

Thousands of years ago, the present northwest has always been the military and power center of the Central Plains, including Shaanxi, Shanxi, Duogansi Xuanweisi (Gansu, Qinghai) and other places, which transformed into a northwest force. However, in the long process of moving southward, it absorbed

The southeastern power group, which has reduced the population of the Central Plains and has experienced rapid economic development, has quietly grown in strength, gradually taken control of the country's economic lifeline, and began to fight against the northwest branch.

Most of the national taxes come from the south, and the northwest provinces have to rely on imperial funding to support border defense and people's lives. In addition, the northwest has constant wars all year round and frequent disasters, making it even more desolate and desolate. It has lost its glory a thousand years ago and is poor.

Extremely backward.

The royal family has always been aware of this situation, so every year it uses military force to collect money and materials from southern forces to maintain the northwest, which is quite acceptable. But now that the eunuch party has fallen, the southern forces immediately counterattacked, weakening the imperial power's control over the south.

The new emperor was unable to change the situation in a short period of time.

Money and food are about to run out, and the northwest has been hit by successive disasters. There is no money to rectify the border defenses, and no food to resettle the refugees. The situation in the northwest has deteriorated rapidly, and the already fragile economic foundation has completely collapsed. Jiangmen can no longer protect himself, let alone control him.

There are tens of millions of hungry refugees living in the northwest, and the entire northwest has now become a hell on earth.

The generals in the northwest can no longer hold on. They urgently need to negotiate with the southern forces and admit that they have failed in this battle. The old man believes that the southern forces that have won a great victory will definitely save tens of millions of people in the northwest, and they do not want to see that

The northwest was in turmoil. But because of this, he had to rush there as soon as possible, because for every day of delay, tens of thousands of people in the northwest would starve to death.

The old man was hesitant. On one side were the miserable people of the northwest, and on the other side were the martial arts wizards who wanted to be their disciples. This made him very painful and didn't know how to make a choice. Being virtuous and filial comes first, and he absolutely couldn't let this child
