Li Ke, the person who spoke, had met once, but after more than a year, I didn’t remember it anymore. I just vaguely remembered that during the Chinese New Year in Zhenguan, this person was the one who accompanied the Wu sisters to watch the lanterns in Chang'an City that day.

The man stepped forward, walked to Li Ke, bowed his hand, and said to Li Ke: "What my son said is unscrupulous. He accidentally confessed to the young master. I hope the young master will not blame him. I will give the old slave a bit of shame and do not hurt my son."

This man who claimed to be an old slave of the Wu family was about seven feet long. Although he looked nearly 40 years old and was thin, he stood up in front of Li Ke like a straight steel gun, as if there was a hidden power of a cow and tiger in his body, which made people dare not look down on him.

Although Li Ke was young, he had been in the army for a long time. He had seen many old soldiers of the imperial guards who had climbed out of the sea of ​​blood. His eyesight was naturally not bad. Li Ke only glanced at the old slave and knew that the old slave in front of him was definitely not an ordinary servant. He must have been a powerful soldier with countless blood in his hands. He had many skills and was definitely not comparable to the Wu brothers who were just like him.

When Li Ke faced the person in front of him, he did not care at all. He just let the Wu brothers go as he said, "Li was unwilling to hurt others. What he did just now was just helpless, just to protect himself."

Although Li Ke let go of the Wu brothers, the Wu brothers did not accept Li Ke's affection at all. They even thought that Li Ke was afraid of their weapons and retreated.

This old slave seems to have a high status in the Wu family. The Wu brothers asked the old slave: "Why should Uncle Li protect outsiders like this? This guy insulted my brother just now. My brother should just earn back this face."

Uncle Li listened to the Wu brothers, looked at them, shook his head, and sighed: "I have seen Master Li's martial arts with my own eyes. Even if I can't compare with Master Li, I am not in line with Master Li. I am afraid that the two masters will suffer any more and lose their face. If they lose their lives again, they will regret it."

The Wu brothers did not know the depth of Li Ke, but the old slave surnamed Li was very clear. Last year at the Chang'an Lantern Festival, Li Ke could stroll in the garden and shoot the ribbon three feet away from the night sky. This arm strength and eyesight were not comparable to that of the Wu brothers.

What's more, this old slave knew that Li Ke's surname was Li, and even the children of Changsun's family gave him three points back then. Seeing Li Ke's every move was a bit noble, it was probably a family member of a general clan.

Since he is a clan of the royal family, there is no reason why he is good at shooting but not accustomed to guns and sticks. If he forces Li Ke to use weapons, if he is really angry, he may be worried about his life.

After hearing Li Ke's words, the Wu brothers were stunned at first, and then they showed a look of surprise on their faces.

This is the Wu Mansion. This old slave is also a member of the Wu Mansion. There is no reason to deceive them. Moreover, this old slave has always been straightforward in speaking and not good at fooling others, so he can trust his words. However, the Wu brothers never expected that Li Ke was young and beautiful, and he had such ability under his seemingly literary appearance.

Now that things have come to this point, the Wu brothers are too lazy to stay here to insult themselves. They glared at Li Ke fiercely, then shook their sleeves and left.

"Thank you for your help, otherwise today will be a troublesome again." Li Ke said to the old slave.

The old slave of the martial arts family looked down at the thick calluses on Li Ke's hand that were not matched by his age, and smiled and said, "Young Master is willing to give me this face. It must be because I thanked you."

More than a year ago, Li Ke's martial arts skills were already great. Li Ke was young and when he grew up, his strength was changing day by day. Now Li Ke must be different from the past and even better than before. He was able to let go so lightly after being provoked by the Wu brothers. In addition to not being willing to commit crimes in Jiangling, this old slave's words also have some weight.

Li Ke said to the old slave: "I am a man, I can bend and stretch. A word or two lies will not hurt me, but it is not a problem. But the two Wu Masters' words are really ugly, and it is really inappropriate for Xiao Niang to be famous. It is just that although I am familiar with Xiao Niang, I am still an outsider after all, so it is not appropriate to ask about it. I just hope that the two Wu Masters' words will not spread today."

When the old slave heard this, he said, "Young Master Li is very relieved. I will repeatedly warn the two young masters about this matter and not to make any external rumor."

After hearing Lao Nu's words, Li Ke showed a hint of confusion on his face. In terms of the primary and secondary, the Wu brothers are the masters and the old slaves are the servants. How can this old slave make the Wu brothers silent?

Wu Meiniang looked at the puzzled expression on Li Ke's face, and knew why Li Ke was confused, so she explained: "Uncle Li is an old soldier in the army. He followed his father more than ten years ago. He saved his father's life in danger several times. His father was very respectful to Uncle Li and was treated as a guest of honor. However, Uncle Li has never liked wealth and honor, so he has not shown up."

Wu Meiniang's words were heard, and Li Ke realized it. No wonder the Wu brothers were so respectful to this old slave. It turned out that he actually saved his life to the warrior.

Li Ke was a young man with outstanding martial arts skills, and he was quite steady when he saw him acting several times. This old slave loved such a backward person.

He saw Wu Meiniang bringing Li Ke in the backyard, and knew that it was to pick up horses and to travel far, so he asked, "Young Master is going to leave the city today?"

Li Ke replied truthfully: "That's right, I was unwell before, and I had been resting in the mansion for a long time. Now I am in a good health and should have left."

The old slave frowned, but said to Li Ke: "It's a coincidence that the young master is afraid he can't leave the city."

"Why is this?" Li Ke asked in confusion.

The old slave replied: "There are important things in Jiangling recently. The guards inside and outside the city gate have been strengthened. The road quotations must be checked when entering and leaving the city gate. However, when the young master fell into the water, all this object was lost. I am afraid that he would not be able to leave the city."

Li Ke was also a little anxious when he heard this. He didn't know who the warrior was looking for, so he didn't dare to reveal his identity. But now he didn't prove his identity, but he couldn't get out of Jiangling, which was really a dilemma.

Li Ke asked, "What should I do?"

The old slave replied: "Young Master, don't be too anxious. In my opinion, this act of locking down the city is by no means a long-term solution. At most, it will take three or four days. Why don't you stay here for a few days and leave after the ban is withdrawn?"

Li Ke looked embarrassed after hearing Lao Nu's words.

He was completely unaware of the situation in Huainan. There must have been undercurrents throughout the Chu Palace, inside and outside the palace. If he could not return to Huainan as soon as possible, he would probably be in chaos after a long time.

The old slave knew about Li Ke’s current situation from Wu Meiniang. Looking at Li Ke’s appearance, he also knew that Li Ke was anxious, but he did not know Li Ke’s identity. He just thought that Li Ke was anxious to join the army. He also said to Li Ke with the intention of supporting his younger generations: “Since the young master wants to join the army, why bother to hurry? I still have some old robes in the Bingzhou army. I can recommend the young master to go there. How about it?”
