The young man who smashed the ice was Li Yun.

Because the weather is cold and the water drips instantly turn into ice. Li Yun smashes the Liao River three or four times a day to ensure that the big turtle hidden at the bottom of the river can break out of the water at any time.

He slapped the hammer a few times, and a big hole on the ice surface had appeared. Suddenly, he noticed someone around him, and Li Yun subconsciously turned his head to look.

The old man smiled slightly and nodded at Li Yun.

Li Yun was slightly stunned, then nodded to the old man. His eyes flew over the big knife in the old man's hand, and a sudden slight slash in his heart.

The old man suddenly took three steps forward and squatted beside the big hole that had just been smashed. The old man stretched his head and looked into the hole for a long time, then slowly looked up at Li Yun and asked, "Does the young man want to break the ice and ask for fish?"

Li Yun hesitated for a moment and said ambiguously: "That's right!"

The old man reached out to touch the edge of the ice hole a few times, and smiled and said, "The ice surface is thick enough, I'm afraid it must be three feet thick."

Li Yun nodded, said two words in a calm tone, and said solemnly: "Four feet!"

"Four feet..."

The old man tsk twice, looking very amazed. He slowly stood up and looked at the sledgehammer in Li Yun's hand, and suddenly said, "It's cold and cold, but it's a lot of ice. The ice is four feet thick, and it's hard to smash it. Why don't the little guy go to the mountains to catch wild animals? Instead, he has to do such a stupid thing that can get half the result with twice the effort?"

Li Yun smiled and said vaguely: "There is no way, to make a living."

He always felt that the old man's words just now had a vague meaning, maybe he had some secret knowledge or unknown. The so-called catching wild animals in the mountains may mean persuading him to live in seclusion in the mountains and forests. So he used this answer to test, hoping to test the old man's true intention.

Don't blame Li Yun for being so vigilant. He felt that the old man was too strange. When it was so cold, an old man in his seventies or eighties appeared alone in the wilderness, holding a big knife in his hand, which was obviously not an ordinary person.

The big sword Li Yun knew that it was a weapon similar to the Qinglong Yanyue. This thing was a horse fighting weapon for battle on the battlefield. Those who could use this thing were definitely not ordinary people.

He stared at the big knife, but the old man stared at his hammer. One old and one young man stood beside the ice hole, and suddenly said at the same time: "It's cold, let's roast the fire!"

Although it was the same sentence, the meaning was completely different. Li Yun's tone was inviting and the old man's tone was inquiry. Both of them were stunned by the tacit understanding of each other, and suddenly they looked at each other and laughed.

At this time, someone ran over on the shore, but Cheng Chumo and others had already found something wrong. Cheng Chumo was the first to rush forward and stared at the old man up and down. Liu Renshi then arrived and circled around the old man for a few times.

The two apprentices seemed to be curious about the big sword in the old man's hand, but in fact there was a strong look of vigilance in their eyes.

"Hey, you old man..."

Cheng Chumo suddenly spoke, pretending to be fierce and frightened: "If you don't sleep at home at night, why are you running to the wilderness for?"

The old man smiled faintly, pointed to Li Yun next to him, and said, "Your master smashed the ice to make a living, and I can be regarded as a living being here."

Cheng Chumo's eyes were even more alert, and he kept staring at the big knife in the old man's hand, and suddenly said, "Does your knife have a name?"

The old man nodded slowly and said calmly: "Yes, there is indeed a name. Do you want to listen to it? Why don't you ask the old man to go and roast the fire first..."

The vigilance in Cheng Chumo's eyes was obviously heavier, and he subconsciously began to touch his waist. Then Li Yun suddenly stepped forward and blocked Cheng Chumo and said to the old man: "It's cold and cold, so you really have to roast the fire!"

As he said that, he turned sideways, made an invitation gesture, and said with a smile: "Senior, please..."

The old man smiled and nodded, carrying a big knife and walking side by side with Li Yun. Cheng Chumo and Liu Renshi looked at each other later. Cheng Chumo raised his foot and followed, but Liu Renshi carefully began to retreat.

But the old man seemed to have eyes on his back, and suddenly he smiled and said, "Little guy, don't catch fish, come and roast the fire together, don't retreat, there is an ice hole behind you that has no choice but to retreat. If you disobey me, the little guy may fall into the ice hole and drown directly."

Liu Renshi's eyes were cold, and Cheng Chumo waved to him helplessly. Liu Renshi dispelled his retreat and followed carefully with Cheng Chumo.

Although these two apprentices have a bit of a straightforward personality, they are all from general families. Their father is a famous figure in the world. They tell some secret things, such as some people who cannot be messed with, such as some taboos that cannot be touched, and the big knife in the old man's hand, the two apprentices have just heard of.

...

The four of them walked along the ice and soon arrived at the bonfire by the river. At this time, four young men were standing next to the bonfire, holding their own weapons in their hands.

The old man looked calm, and Li Yun also looked calm. Li Yun suddenly waved his hands to the three young men and said lightly: "Put your weapons away, who will you show me the murderous intent? Before the tiger preys, it will never scare its prey. The general will die on the battlefield and will never use weapons to show off his power. Put them away quickly and don't make people laugh."

The three young men looked at each other, put away their weapons and stood there carefully.

Li Yun turned his head and bowed to the old man, then pointed to a young man and introduced: "Old senior, this is Changsun Chong, his father Changsun Wuji, is the Minister of Revenue of the Tang Dynasty."

The old man nodded slightly and said lightly: "I heard that this son has been awarded the title of king, and Li Shimin is a bit incredible to do things."

Li Yun did not comment and pointed at Cheng Chumo and introduced: "This is Cheng Chumo, and his father is now named King of Chaoyang."

The old man's face remained unchanged, and he still commented indifferently: "Cheng Zhijie is a deputy general, and he is extremely smart..." As he said that, he looked at Cheng Chumo and smiled: "It's a pity that his son is rough in character. He just said to me."

Li Yun coughed, pointed at Liu Renshi and said, "This is Liu Renshi, his father is Liu Hongji."

The old man glanced casually and nodded and said, "Since the weapon used was the Overlord Salute, we should move forward without fear. The little guy just wanted to retreat quietly, and his idea was not to mention that he wanted to call someone. This timid move was no longer worthy of the Overlord Salute."

Liu Renshi glared at each other and cursed: "Who is timid? I'm not afraid of you."

The old man was satisfied and smiled and said, "This is how it tastes like a young man."

Li Yun had introduced three of the five young men present, and as for the remaining two, they were from the Marines, Li Yun pointed and said, "This is Tie Near, that is his guard Xiong Blind. Tie Near is the young leader of the Heishui Marine and is also a sworn brother of the younger generation."

The old man was not even interested in Tieboer's comments, but said lightly to Tieboer's guard: "The name of the man often uses the prey he fights as a symbol. This little guy can call him blind bear, probably a brave man."

Li Yun said 'um' and explained: "He has indeed fought against blind Xiong alone."

At this point, all the five young people were introduced, but Li Yun seemed to have forgotten to introduce himself. He bowed to the old man again and said respectfully: "It's cold and cold, and the weather is cold, and there are a bunch of bonfires. Do you dare to ask seniors to sit down and roast the fire?"

The old man laughed and nodded and praised: "Very good, very good! You are a good baby, a good young man who understands the sacredness of reason..."

He didn't care about the murderous aura of the young men around him. He just sat directly in front of the bonfire and threw the big knife into the ground casually, as if he threw away a useless fire stick.

After he sat down, he first reached out to roast the fire, then made a move at Li Yun and smiled: "Little guy, you are the master of this fire. Since ancient times, there has been a saying that strong guests cannot bully the master. I wonder if the little guy is willing to sit next to me?"

Li Yun stepped forward without hesitation and sat beside the old man. He also threw the hammer casually like the old man, and smashed it into the open space beside him.

Two hammers hit the ground with eight hundred kilograms and shaking the ground.

"Tsk tsk!"

The old man sighed softly and said slowly: "The golden hammer of drum beaters is indeed very heavy." This sentence is not concealed at all. He has confessed in just ten words that he is not an ordinary person.

However, Li Yun's face was not surprised. He reached out to take a big fish from the bonfire. He first put it on his nose and smelled it. Then he handed it to the old man. He said with a very respectful tone: "One of the old people is like a treasure. I'm afraid that the old senior must be eighty years old. Can you let the younger generation express some respect?"

The old man was slightly stunned, his eyes full of surprise. He looked at Li Yun deeply and asked curiously: "I just called out the name of the drum-beating golden hammer. Isn't you a baby surprised at all?"

Li Yun held the big fish in his hands, and dragged it respectfully in front of the old man and asked with a smile: "Are you afraid of the poison in the fish? If you are afraid, you can eat it first..."

This is so grand.

The old man was slightly stunned again, suddenly reached out and took the fish in his hand, sighed and said, "Li Yuanba's son cannot do anything to poison people."

This is even more frank, he is not an ordinary person.

Although he took the fish in his hand, he did not eat it directly. Suddenly he handed the fish to Li Yun and said in a deep voice: "You are a junior, you have to serve me. We Han people pay the most attention to etiquette. You, don't cut off the inheritance of the Han family. Be good, help me to tear the fish into small pieces, pick out all the fish bones, and my teeth are not very good..."

This requirement is simply unreasonable, and it is obviously a bit scoundrel who is relying on his seniority. However, Li Yun nodded and really started to help the old man take care of the big fish.

He carefully tore the fish into small pieces, then slowly picked out the fish bones inside, and then held them in front of the old man again, still saying respectfully: "Senior, how dare you enjoy it?"

As expected, the old man reached out to take it, threw a piece directly into his mouth, chewing it while savoring it, and slowly nodding and praised: "It tastes good, and I added a lot of salt."

Li Yun sat beside him and smiled, saying, "I invented the method of removing stone salt and founded the salt industry for seawater. Although the output is not enough to supply all the people, the salt price in the Central Plains has been reduced by 70% compared to five years ago."

"Great merit!"

The old man nodded and exclaimed.

He suddenly handed the fish in his hand to Li Yun and said with regret: "I have too little achievements, only enough to eat a piece of fish in your body. Take back the rest. If I eat it again, I will be very ashamed."

However, Li Yun shook his head and said in a serious tone: "A piece of fish is not good. You have to eat at least five pieces. The younger generation just tore off five pieces of fish. I hope the old senior can make the younger generation express their admiration."

The old man was obviously a little stunned and asked in a slight surprise: "Do you think I am qualified to eat five pieces of fish?"

"good!"

Li Yun nodded.

He suddenly reached out and pointed to the sword beside the old man, and said with a serious expression: "If I guess correctly, this sword is called the White Dragon Turning Horse Sword. It is famous in the North of Seitan and is intimidating the Hu tribe. The court in the Northern Qi Dynasty was dark and could not shelter the people of the country, which led to the alien race going south and invading the people of our Han family from time to time, and barbecued the people of our Han family as sheep. Fortunately, a general stood up in anger and took the initiative to demand to sit in the northern border of Seitan to resist the invasion! For fifteen years, he guarded the Central Plains portal every day. He held the White Dragon Turning Horse Sword in his hand, and thousands of alien races died under the knife..."

Li Yun stopped here, and looked at the old man with a clear look and said, "Murdering is not a merit, protecting the people is a merit. This is a great achievement. Unfortunately, the Northern Qi court has not rewarded me, so I thanked it with a piece of fish. This is your qualification to eat the first piece of fish."

The old man's eyes showed a look of memories, and the vicissitudes on his face became deeper. After a long time, he nodded slowly and said, "When I was in charge of the north, I was only sixteen years old. If you don't mention this, I will forget it myself."

He suddenly looked at Li Yun and sighed with emotion: "I barely recognize this achievement, which is the reward for eating the piece of fish just now. But little guy, you said I can eat five pieces. Could it be that I have made five great achievements in my life? If I have made five great achievements, I wonder what the second time will be?"

Li Yun reached out and pulled the bonfire in front of him, and said in a leisurely tone: "The second credit is that you are one of the nine elders of the Sui Dynasty. The Northern Qi court was dark and the people were exploding. The Northern Zhou Dynasty rose and attacked each other continuously. In that era, the Southern and Northern Dynasties were united, and the Han people suffered a lot of suffering and suffered from wars every day. Later, Emperor Wen of Sui unified the mountains and rivers, and your old man was the nine elders of the founding country. The Sui Dynasty had a short life and prosperity, which allowed the suffering people to have a peaceful life. Unfortunately, the history books only praised Emperor Wen, but the achievements of the nine elders of the Sui Dynasty were not mentioned at all. I was very regretful to borrow a piece of fish to pay for it tonight."

The old man laughed and suddenly threw a piece of fish into his mouth. While chewing, he said, "Since that's the case, I'll let you get rid of this regret."

After eating, he looked at Li Yun again, and said curiously: "What about the third credit?"

Li Yun took a deep breath and said softly: "The third credit, you almost killed my father with a knife trick, but in the end you chose to let him go..."

As soon as this was said, it was really sensational. According to Li Yun's statement, the old man almost killed Li Yuanba.
