The scholar was chased in a panic. While running, he shouted: "I'm not a wanted criminal..."

However, the more he ran, the more people behind him chased him.

With a crackling sound, the scholar fell to the ground and crushed the bookcase. He couldn't get up for a while.

Seeing that the vicious men were about to catch up, the scholar couldn't help but look desperate in his eyes.

Suddenly, he reached out and grabbed his shoulder.

"I'm not a wanted criminal, I'm really not..."

The scholar was shocked and thought he had been taken away, so he quickly defended.

"I know you're not."

The sound is calm, and it makes people listen and feel at ease.

The scholar looked up and saw a faceless expressionless, wearing a Taoist robe, a Taoist priest.

Chen Tang reached out to help him up. At this time, the men had arrived and surrounded him with weapons. One of them shouted: "Stinky Taoist priest, we saw this wanted criminal first."

Chen Tang didn't talk nonsense, the broken jade sword was unsheathed, and a pool of clear water was shook lightly, and a buzzing sound was clear.

Seeing this, the man gulped and said embarrassedly: "The Taoist sword is the longest, you have the final say, it's dispersed!"

With a wave of his hand, the men dispersed in disappointment.

"Where are fugitives?"

As he shouted, a team of yamen runners rushed over, like cats smelling the fishy smell.

"Okay, you are clearly the thief Xuan Tian Ghost Dao, who can quickly surrender."

The yamen runners took out a stack of portraits, flipped through them casually, then took out one, pointed at Chen Tang and shouted.

In a short period of time, Chen Tang saw two so-called arrest methods one after another, and he really felt like watching absurd drama.

"Are you all fools blind? This is Captain Mo!"

A constable came and recognized Chen Tang at first sight. He was startled and shouted immediately. Then he apologized: "Personnel Mo, these guys don't know Mount Tai, please forgive me."

Chen Tang waved his hand, and the constable took the yamen runner away quickly:

"Brother Shi, what's going on with Captain Mo?"

"I have nine doors, do you understand? Humph, you can continue to send me the message and let everyone highlight it. Fortunately, I have time this time. If there is a real conflict, how can you die?"

When the yamen runners heard the name of the Nine Gates, they were silent and dared not speak out.

"Thank you for saving your life."

The scholar bowed to Chen Tang and said.

Chen Tang looked at him and suddenly asked, "Are you hungry?"

The scholar was stunned, and then he lowered his head slightly embarrassedly.

Chen Tang said: "I'll treat you to a meal."

"How can I be embarrassed about this?"

The scholar was a little restrained and authentic.

"Come with me if you want to eat, I have something to ask you."

Chen Tang said, take the lead.

The scholar hesitated for a moment, and finally gritted his teeth, packed up the books and other items, and followed him. He had been hungry for a day and felt really uncomfortable. Now someone invites him to dinner, no matter what, he will have his stomach full before talking about it.

When he returned to the inn, Chen Tang ordered the shopkeeper to prepare the wine and food and deliver it to the room, and took someone up to sit down first.

The scholar still seemed nervous and uneasy.

Chen Tang looked at him and said, "Ning Yi, from Qinzhou, which county town is from? How did you come to Fenglin County?"

When the scholar heard this, he was shocked and said in a daze: "The Taoist priest knows me?"

Chen Tang said slowly: "Just answer me."

Ning Yi was uneasy: "I fled from Songcheng. I was going to take a boat to Jiangnan, but I spent all my money and got into trouble. I wanted to find a living in the city, but I didn't want to be regarded as a wanted criminal..."

Chen Tang asked again: "Where is your old mother?"

Ning Yi was even more shocked and puzzled when he heard this: Who is this Taoist priest? How could he even know this... He sighed: "After Mid-Autumn Festival this year, she became ill after overwork and died of illness."

Chen Tang said in a deep voice: "Sad to mourn."

Ning Yi was confused and dared not ask.

After a while, the hot meal was delivered and the table was filled.

“Eat.”

Chen Tang said, lifting up the chopsticks first.

Smelling the fragrant smell, Ning Yi couldn't help swallowing and then started to eat. As he ate, he didn't know what sad things happened, and tears came down and quickly wiped them away: "Master, don't blame me for losing my composure."

"It's okay."

Chen Tang responded casually.

After a full meal, the waiter cleaned up and served tea.

Chen Tang drank a sip of tea and asked, "Ning Xiucai, do you think you are going to escape to Jiangnan?"

Ning Yi nodded: "I have such a plan."

Chen Tang said, "The Jiangnan side is not much better. It is said that it was in chaos a while ago."

Ning Yi was shocked and said, "What should I do?"

He blocked the news and knew little about the current situation. Now, when he heard the turmoil in Jiangnan, he suddenly felt uncontrollable and sighed: "The sky is great, is there no place to stand?"

Chen Tang looked at him and understood this confused and helpless mentality. As a scholar, he had not obtained a higher level of fame and fortune. He was just a scholar. Even if he practiced some martial arts and dared to go out to study, his vision and knowledge were different from ordinary people. But in the end, he was still limited by the constraints of the world era. When troubled times came, he was like a fly that had lost his head and could not stand on his own.

Looking back on that day, I returned home from the capital, passed through Xinbai Town, met Ning Yi, and went to Fayuan Temple together. Now, I have changed, but I didn’t expect to meet him in Fenglin County.

Seeing my old friend again, although Chen Tang did not take off his skin, he did not want to see him fall into trouble and ignored him.

He asked now: "Ning Xiucai, you are from Qinzhou, do you know Gaocheng?"

Ning Yi hurriedly said, "I know, it is adjacent to my hometown Songcheng."

Upon hearing this, Chen Tang sighed relieved, and the path asked: "Please draw a map and go from Fenglin County to Gaocheng. How to walk."

Although Ning Yi was full of doubts, the other party saved his life and invited him to dinner. He was very kind and could not refuse to do something. He quickly took out the four treasures of the study and wrote them on a blank piece of paper. The final drawings were sloppy.

Chen Tang did not require precision and meticulousness. He just needed to determine the location and the route, and there was a route guide.

Then, he asked the shopkeeper to open an extra room, let Ning Yi stay, and invited another supper. Ning Yi thanked him for no reason, and he was confused about why the other party wanted to help him.

At night, after washing up, Ning Yi sat in the room, sighing and frowned. Today he met a noble man and solved the difficulties, but tomorrow, what about the future? Jiangnan is no longer able to go, and there is no money to ride on a boat. But if he stays in Fenglin County, once Chen Tang loses the protection of Chen Tang, he will be regarded as a wanted criminal, then arrested in the yamen and locked up in a prison. If he becomes a prisoner, his life will be hung on a thread.

He heard that the yamen prison was very dark. Many people were not wanted criminals at all and were arrested. In this way, the yamen operators could receive rewards. Some of the prisoners in the prison were even pulled out to behead their heads in the middle of the night and became scapegoats...

call!

Suddenly, the yin energy swept across the room, and then a slim figure appeared.
