On the wedding night, the substitute princess cured the war king's poison

"My last name is Yang, and I came here from Yangzhou in the south of the Yangtze River to look for my relatives."

Li Yi made up an identity based on the situation described by the disaster victim who had just filed a complaint.

"I have a cousin here. Five months ago, he wrote to me saying he wanted to bring his family to live with me, but he never came. My father sent me here to look for him, but I didn't expect there was a locust plague here, and it's hard to find relatives. I heard that many families have been destroyed."

When the man heard that he was not from Kyoto, he immediately relaxed his guard.

He started talking more enthusiastically.

"So Young Master Yang comes from a land of plenty. It's a rich place. Unfortunately, you came too late. After the disaster, most people's homes were already empty. Many families took their families to other places to beg for a living, and some even sold their children as slaves in exchange for food. I'm afraid your relative is in danger."

Li Yi sighed, "Yes, what I see here is the decline of people's livelihood and the devastation of the land."

Changing the subject, he asked the man, "Brother, why don't you go out to make a living?"

The man said, "I used to make a living by doing business. Fortunately, I saved some money, so I can barely survive now."

"My name is Liu Ming. I wonder if you would be willing to take me to Yangzhou to do business and make a living?"

Li Yi pretended to be embarrassed and said, "I don't have much money left, so I can't take you with me."

Li Ming said hurriedly, "You don't need Mr. Yang to pay for me. The money I have saved is enough to pay for the trip to Yangzhou. However, the mountains there are high and the roads are long. I am not familiar with the place. I want to find someone I know to accompany me."

"If Young Master Yang is willing to take me with him, I can reward you with twenty taels of silver. I will do business, and maybe I can reward you with an additional large sum of money after I make a fortune in Yangzhou."

Li Yi showed a hint of excitement, "Then we can go together."

Liu Ming was delighted. "Mr. Yang, please come to my house and have a seat. Let me entertain you as a good host. After dinner, let's discuss how to get back to Anwen and Yangzhou."

He threatened again: "There are many disaster victims outside. Some of them are starving and crazy, and they are committing all kinds of evil. If you walk alone and encounter criminals, they will rob and kill you."

This guy has the eloquence of a human trafficker.

Li Yi also wanted to see what was in his gourd.

He nodded, "Sorry to bother you, Brother Liu."

"Don't bother me. It's a pleasure to have friends coming from afar. It's my fate to meet Brother Yang."

Liu Ming smiled brightly and quickly took Li Yi to an alley.

The road is so winding that an ordinary person would definitely get dizzy.

Li Yi followed behind him and became more and more certain that this was a human trafficker.

I guess we can find out the whereabouts of the missing people from him.

We'll take advantage of him and follow him.

He casually asked, "Brother Liu, why do you live in such a remote place?"

"That's right, this is a good place to hide, so that other disaster victims won't come to disturb us."

Liu Ming said as he walked quickly forward and opened a gate. "Young Master Yang, please come in."

Li Yi naturally followed in fearlessly. Not to mention that he now had magic skills, even with his own kung fu, it was not difficult for him to escape from the group of robbers.

Seeing that he had fallen into a trap, Liu Ming immediately closed the door and shouted inside, "Brothers, it's time to live!"

As soon as he finished speaking, more than a dozen sturdy men with machetes in hand, all with ferocious faces, walked out from the three main rooms and two side rooms.

Li Yi sneered and asked Liu Ming, "Brother Liu, is this how you treat guests?"

"Stop talking nonsense, hand over the money you have and tell me your family background. If you dare to resist, I will chop you up and use you as meat filling for dumplings today."

The robbers were approaching step by step.

"That depends on whether you have the ability to do so!"

Li Yi flashed, snatched the big knife from someone's hand, and suddenly put it on Liu Ming's neck, "I'd better chop you into pieces first."

After saying that, he grabbed the knife and slashed it. Blood immediately gushed out of Liu Ming's neck. Before he could even shout for help, he fell to the ground and died.

This scene of decisive killing deeply frightened the other robbers. They all felt a chill down their spines. They had never seen a master with such agile skills and ruthless methods.

Li Yi eliminated harm for the people and noticed that his magic power had increased.

It seems that this is another quick way to practice.

The leader of the robbers clasped his fists and begged for peace: "Brother, I was blind and offended you. Please make concessions. We will let you go and you don't have to bother with us."

"Oh, I don't want to leave yet. I want to know what business you are doing. Hand over anything valuable."

Li Yi glanced at them with a cold gaze, "You are all fat and strong, you must have hidden a lot of food, right?"

The robbers were confused. Is this guy here to rob? Black robs black?

If you can't beat him, you might as well get him to join.

"Brother, why don't you join us? We will provide you with good food and drink."
