Sui and Tang Dynasties: Awakening the Supreme Skills at the Beginning

Everyone followed Li Zhen back to the Li family. The large cafeteria opposite had already been built. Even from a long distance away, they could smell the fragrance of rice.

While eating, Li Zhen walked to the front of the cafeteria and announced that night school would start tonight, causing an uproar among the crowd.

Since ancient times, being literate has been a dream of the poor people, but they are too poor and studying is very expensive. They really cannot afford the tuition and can only remain poor from generation to generation.

Now that they had the opportunity to read and learn to read without spending any money, they were naturally ecstatic and even worked three times more efficiently than usual.

"Brother Zhen is so quick. He just said the day before yesterday that he would teach everyone to read, and today he invited the teacher here. What a fast pace!"

"Then you must study hard!"

"Of course!"

……

At night, more than one hundred young and strong men in the village gathered in the village ancestral hall to listen to the lecture given by the teacher invited by Li Zhen, who started with teaching them how to read and write.

The night school lasted until midnight, and everyone reluctantly let the teacher leave under the escort of the villagers.

In the middle of the night, the moon is above the treetops, the wind is light and the clouds are clear, everything is silent, and all things on earth fall asleep.

Li Zhen was meditating when suddenly he felt a sense of uneasiness in his mind and he woke up immediately.

what happened?

Li Zhen quickly stood up, looked around the yard, but found nothing unusual, so he returned to his room and began to meditate.

What he didn't know was that something really happened at the winery.

It was late at night and the room was quiet. The bright moonlight shone into the room through the window, leaving blurry shadows on the ground.

Li Zhiyong was sleeping soundly when he was suddenly woken up by his mother.

"Xiaozhi, Xiaozhi, wake up quickly, there is noise outside the house!"

Li Zhiyong was half asleep when he heard his mother's trembling voice. He stood up and listened carefully. He heard footsteps in the yard. He was startled and jumped up. "Don't be afraid, mom. I'll go check it out!"

Li Zhang whispered, "Are Erhai and the others on night duty?"

Li Zhiyong shook his head. "No, there are only two people on duty, they can't make such a big noise. There must be thieves, but I don't know how many there are. Mom, hide first, I'll be back soon."

Li Zhang nodded, "My son has just joined Master Li's army and has encountered thieves. We must perform well and not let others look down on us."

"I know, mother!"

This time I must capture the thieves and make them look at me with admiration, Li Zhiyong swore secretly.

Li Zhiyong got out of bed, put on his clothes, and put on his shoes. He picked up a wooden stick as thick as a bowl from behind the door, quietly opened the door, and went outside.

A rustling sound came from the warehouse.

Li Zhiyong raised his legs high and walked lightly to the front of the warehouse. In the moonlight, he saw four or five dark shadows going in and out of the warehouse, and it was unknown what they were fiddling with.

At that moment, Li Zhiyong quietly approached, aimed at a dark shadow, and hit it with a stick.

With a "bang", the black shadow fainted on the spot.

"who?"

A dark figure exclaimed.

"How dare you, you thief, break into my house and steal. Do you really think I, Li Zhiyong, am just a decoration? Watch out!"

Li Zhiyong let out a low roar and smashed the wooden stick towards another black shadow, but the black shadow dodged.

It was like a thunder in the middle of the night, and the busy people were suddenly frightened.

The black shadow was stunned, probably not expecting that there was someone else in the yard. He then pulled out the steel knife from behind and turned to face Li Zhiyong.

Li Zhiyong swung the stick and smashed it at one of the thieves on the head. The thief raised a steel knife to block. With a "bang", the steel knife was smashed away and a piece of the stick was cut off.

"What a strength."

The thief exclaimed, "This is a tricky idea, let's do it together!"

As he spoke, four or five thieves surrounded Li Zhiyong, holding their swords and guns, and hacked at Li Zhiyong.

"Big guy, you will rest here forever!"

The leading thief sneered.

Li Zhiyong was surrounded by five people, and the five people were holding steel knives. If nothing unexpected happened, Li Zhiyong would definitely be defeated.

However, the next moment, everyone's eyes widened, unable to believe what they saw.

"Hoohoo!"

Li Zhiyong shook his stick and fought in all directions at night, like a dragon breaking through the air. The four steel knives were all bounced away, and no one could get close to him at all.

In the blink of an eye, four or five black shadows all fell to the ground screaming.

At this time, the torches in the front yard lit up, and they knew that thieves had entered the workshop.

Li Erhai and others came to the warehouse with torches held high, and Li Zhiyong shouted.

"Er Hai, you're here just in time. Help me catch these thieves."

As he said this, he raised the stick in his hand and smashed it down at a black shadow.

The black shadow had no time to dodge and was knocked unconscious.

When the other black shadows saw the ghost coming out, they quickly got up and ran away.

"Er Hai, leave one person to guard the thief, and the rest of you follow me to chase him."

Li Zhiyong led a few people and hurriedly chased after him.

The shadowy figures quickly left the workshop, climbed over the gate, and ran down Zhuque Street. Behind them, Li Zhiyong and others were chasing them with sticks.

Several figures appeared in the distance. Li Zhiyong said to himself that he was finally catching up with them. As long as he could catch these thieves, the boss would definitely praise him greatly when he came back, and he would also have a firm foothold in this workshop.

"Brothers, work harder, the thief is right in front of us!"

Li Zhiyong shouted loudly, exerted force on his legs and feet, and rushed in front of several people.

"Where are you running to, you bold thief?"

Li Zhiyong shouted while raising the wooden stick in his hand and smashed it down on the head of a dark figure.

There was a "click".

Li Zhiyong heard something wrong and looked down, and was shocked.

The next second, a steel knife was placed on Li Zhiyong's neck and a loud shout came from his ears.

"Who dares to attack the Jinwu Guards?"

With a "bang", the stick in Li Zhiyong's hand fell to the ground.

Ah! Ah! It turned out to be the Jinwu Guards! Li Zhiyong thought to himself that it was not good.

"Sir, we are all good people. Our workshop was robbed, and we chased the thieves here..."

Li Zhiyong explained.

At this time, Li Erhai and others also chased here. When they met the Jinwu Guards, they were so scared that they knelt on the ground.

"You are so bold and unruly. Don't you know there is a curfew?"

The leading Jinwu Guard officer shouted coldly.

"Come here, punish these people with twenty military sticks."

The officer waved his hand and several soldiers rushed out from his side. They pressed Li Zhiyong and others to the ground without saying a word and started beating them with military sticks.

"Bang bang bang..."

After being beaten with the sticks for twenty times, the buttocks of Li Zhiyong and others were covered in blood.

Li Zhiyong endured the pain and said carefully: "Sir, I know I was wrong. Please let me go. We will continue to hunt down the thieves."

At this time, before the officer could speak.

I saw a place in the distance where flames were shooting up into the sky and thick smoke was billowing.

Li Zhiyong and others turned their heads and their faces changed drastically, because that place was exactly the location of their workshop.

By the time everyone arrived at the workshop, the warehouse was already engulfed in flames.
