There is soup. A soup made with peppers, potatoes, and cold mushrooms, thickened with potato starch. There are also four cakes, two pieces of steamed bacon, and a plate of chive sauce.
He took two sips of the soup to warm his stomach, and then took another bite of the pancake. Then break the cake in your hand into pieces and soak it in the soup. Tear the bacon into pieces again, add half a plate of leek sauce, and sandwich it between two pancakes. Then he took a sip of soup and a bite of pancake, and soon sweat broke out on his forehead.
After eating and drinking, I poured the remaining half of the plate of leek sauce on the last piece of cake, sat against the wall with the food box in my hand, and bit it slowly.
It's not so cold anymore, and thoughts come alive again. He began to think about Sui Buqiu.
He saved people, which should be a great achievement, but unfortunately the person he saved was Sui. The current Sui King is the seventh generation grandson of the previous Sui King and is over 200 years old. It is said that he is in the fourth level of Lingzhao Realm and should be able to live for another hundred years.
The Sui King had only one biological brother, Sui Wujiu, Duke of Chebei. But Sui Wujiu is at the fifth level of the Dongxuan Realm and can live to be five hundred years old, but he is only two hundred years old now.
Having lived in the military for a long time, I always listen more to things happening at the top. You know that King Sui was very afraid of his younger brother who was higher than him. Despite Sui Wujiu's repeated goodwill, he was still sent to Wuliang City to be the Duke of Chebei in a bitter and cold place.
It is said that this is not the end yet. The Sui King stared at Duke Chebei to death and wanted to find some reason to expel him further away...or perhaps expel him to the netherworld.
Sui Wu Jiu therefore walked on thin ice and was extremely cautious in doing things. The Sui State was divided into two parts: military and political. Local princes only supervised the military and had no authority to command. When they arrived at Wuliang City, Sui Wujiu didn't even bother to take on the responsibility of military governor and left all the power to the city's capital commander.
But now that the city has been destroyed and Pei Jin, the commander-in-chief, is dead, King Sui will probably be very happy to accuse Sui Wujiu. The only one who can save him is Sui Bujie - although the city is broken, it is not lost. You can hide some casualties and make it look like you are holding on and retreating from the enemy. Sui Buxiu also had the heads of the royal family of monsters in his hands. Once the merits and demerits were equalized, the lives of the father and son should be safe.
But unfortunately, he knew that Sui Buxiu was actually captured. Before I rescued him, I didn't know how much military information I had revealed to the monster. The capture of the royal family was something that had never happened before in the Six Kingdoms of the Emperor. This kind of shame and humiliation... Based on Jin Shang's temperament, it is logical to kill the prince.
Moreover, it is said that there are people from the royal capital among the Dongfu Army in Wuliang City. If he were Sui Wujiu, he would have wanted to hide the fact that Sui Buxiu was captured, and he couldn't take the slightest risk.
Now in the magnificent castle on the mountain, Sui Wujiu should be discussing with Sui Buxiang and Baiying how to make the details better so that no one can find faults. Maybe after the discussion is over, a few days later, it will be his death. Sui Bujiu seemed to be a unique prince and grandson, but he was only the sixteenth son of Sui Wujiu, and he had grown up in the royal capital since childhood. Even if you say a few words for yourself, it is of no use.
Moreover, the suit given to him was not the uniform of the Ten Generals.
He had eaten and drank enough to regain his strength, and now it was time to think about how to save himself.
When the sunlight no longer penetrated through the cracks in the window panels, Li Bochen heard footsteps and the sound of unlocking outside the door. He sat still on the kang and soon saw Baiying walking into the inner room carrying a white paper lantern. He looked around the room, placed the lantern on the ground, and shook the snow from his wings.
"General Bai." Li Bochen nodded to him.
Bai Ying's face was very kind, and he even showed a smile: "How is your health?"
"If you have enough food and drink, there will be no problem."
"Okay." Baiying stood with his hands crossed and looked at him, "Chebei Gong knew about you and admired you very much, so he asked about it. As a result, I found out that you were the commander of the former army?"
Li Boxen nodded: "It happened three years ago."
"Three years ago...oh, three years ago." Baiying took a few steps in the room and said casually, "It must be because of Ling Dutong's affairs."
"Um."
He only responded without saying much. Baiying looked at him and smiled: "Don't worry. Mr. Chebei intends to promote you, so he naturally sent me to ask for details. I have offended many times before - it was because of my short vision. But Mr. Chebei... you know, at the moment It’s time to employ people, and Mr. Chebei can’t bear to part with such a talented person as you.”
Li Bochen was stunned: "General Bai, are you serious?"
"Seriously." Baiying said with a smile, "That's why I was sent to hear about you."
Li Bochen hesitated for a while and sighed: "It is indeed because of Ling Dutong."
"I joined the army six years ago, and the commander-in-chief valued me very much. I made some military exploits, and in three years I rose from a pawn to a general, a hundred generals, and a commander. When spring started three years ago, the commander-in-chief led several of our generals. Zuo and his soldiers went hunting in Dangtu Mountain, but Lian Ce, a hundred generals, lured three fierce tigers. They all went to save him, but his throat was cut with his sword."
"Ah..." Baiying sighed.
"Later, it was found out that Lian Ce had a grudge against Dutong because of the promotion issue, and was exposed to the public. But all our generals and assistants at that time were also deprived of their posts and demoted to soldiers. After Pei Jin Dutong came to take office, he was promoted again. I made a ten general."
Bai Ying nodded: "Chebei Gong has no military background, but he did know some inside information about this matter at that time. Ling Dutong was a handsome man, but he died at the hands of a villain back then. It's a pity. You were also a general, but you were implicated by a villain. It’s a pity to be demoted.”
Li Bochen smiled.
"Among those people back then, besides Baijiang Liance, did you ever doubt anyone else?"
Li Bochen frowned and thought for a while: "Others? Among the few people who were traveling at that time, there were two commanders besides me. One was Sun Shou and the other was Peng Dingfang. At the level of one hundred generals, there were Lian Ce, Lu Gongru, Wei Buqun, the rest are just a few soldiers, I forgot their names."
"Sun Shou, Peng Dingfang, and Lu Gongru were all killed in battle two years ago. Wei Buqun...was under my command before. I also watched him die in the battle a few days ago. As for those soldiers , General Bai should know that once the general died, they failed to protect him, and he was executed afterwards. I once had some doubts, but now that everyone is gone, there is no way to raise doubts. "
Baiying shook his head repeatedly: "It's a pity, it's a pity. Well, in that case, I will go back and report to Lord Chebei. General Li is waiting with peace of mind. Within two days, there will be a commendation and appointment."
Li Bochen got up from the kang and jumped to the ground. I wanted to speak, but there was a lump in my throat. After calming down for a while, he clasped his fists and said, "It's hard to repay Duke Chebei for his great kindness. If you don't do it, you'll die!"
Baiying lifted him up, reached out and patted his arm, nodded, and walked out of the door.
A soldier outside the door brought another food box, and brought in a bucket and quilt. Then he also exited and closed the door. This time the door was unlocked and the window panels were removed.
When the footsteps disappeared, Li Bochen opened the door a crack and looked into the courtyard. The sun was about to set, and there was no one in the yard, which was reflected golden by the setting sun.
He closed the door, walked back into the house, opened the food box, and found that the food was much richer. In addition to soup, cakes, meat, and sauce, there is also a roast chicken and a pot of wine.
He took the wine bottle and held it in his hand, knowing that Bai was about to take action.
Faster than he thought.
