The small room he lived in was densely packed with people on and off the kang, only thirty at most. But only the faint outlines of the Yin spirits were left, which could penetrate and overlap each other. So when they crowded the room, the original appearance of the Yin spirits could not be seen clearly, and only the bright green light filled the room.
Li Boxen dreamed like this for more than an hour. Even in the dream, he felt extremely exhausted, so he climbed back onto the green-lit kang, slowly sat down on his body, and "sleeped" again. .
As soon as he fell asleep in the dream, his physical body immediately woke up.
When I opened my eyes at this time, the room was pitch black as usual. But he could feel that the temperature in the room was lower than before. Sometimes when people encounter Yin spirits and are penetrated by them, they will feel an inexplicable slight chill in their bodies. And now there were countless Yin spirits pressing on him, so he naturally felt even colder.
However, this was also the method he used to fight to the death. Neither Bai Ying nor Sui Wu Jiu could have imagined that he had such ability.
In fact, Li Boxen himself doesn't know where this ability came from. All he knew was that it existed when he opened his eyes for the first time in this world. At first, I discovered that I could be independent in my dreams, maintain a clear mind, and even be able to go further and observe the surrounding situation as if my soul had left my body. This range is approximately several hundred steps. And the condition for being able to do this is to be drunk. It seems that only by falling asleep when drunk can the mind be empty and leave the body.
Then by a very accidental opportunity, he discovered that he could also make Yin spirits obey their orders.
This ability may sound magical, but it is actually of little use. Practitioners with higher realms can also make Yin spirits obey orders through magic spells and spells. But apart from the terrifying appearance of death, there is really nothing scary about Yin Ling - it is just a "field" composed of some memories, instincts, and slightly stronger vitality. Even if a cultivator dies, apart from the fact that some people can maintain their spiritual intelligence through special means, the remaining aspects will not be any different from the Yin spirits of ordinary people.
But Li Boxen reasoned that if he wanted to die, it would be Yuren Baiying who came to take his life. And these seemingly useless Yin spirits are one of the ways to deal with him. But this is not guaranteed. If he is lucky enough, someone else will come to help him - although he doesn't know who that person or those people are.
Emperor Beichen. Li Boxen thought silently, if there really is a spiritual god in this world, please ask me to have good luck again this time!
…
At this time, Duke Sui Wujiu of Chebei was having dinner in the castle halfway up the mountain. Fire dragons were laid under the stone floor of the castle. The fire was burning vigorously at this time, and the room was as warm as spring.
He wore a Taoist robe at home, had a long beard with five strands of hair, and had a very heroic appearance. There are three dishes and one soup on the table in front of you. The soup is the cold mushroom and pepper soup that people in Beiyuan often drink. The two dishes are stir-fried with out-of-season vegetables produced in the Houbao greenhouse. There was also a plate of steamed mussels, but he didn't eat it, but two plates of vegetarian dishes and soup were almost at the bottom.
Wuliang people in the city say that Chebei Gong has good seafood, and every meal must include fish, shrimp, crab, and shellfish. This was indeed the case, but the difference was that Sui Wujiu only laid out these seafood items to look at and smell at every meal without eating them, which was an advantage to the servants who served him.
Sui Wujiu always had a good appetite, but Sui Bujiu, who was sitting with him, had no intention of eating. He changed his clothes, took a shower, and used elixirs to recuperate his body. At this time, he was no longer as tired as he was on the snowy field. However, he didn't relax his brows. He had already put down his chopsticks and sat sullenly with his hands on his legs.
Sui Wujiu let him sit for a while, then stopped and wiped his mouth with a warm and wet handkerchief on the side of the table, and said, "Why, are you still thinking about that Li Boxen?"
"Yes." Sui Buxiu said dullly, "The child wants to say that maybe his life can be saved for my use."
Sui Wujiu's expression remained as usual, he said "Oh" lightly, and wiped his hands with the handkerchief.
Seeing that his father didn't express anything but was not angry, Sui Buxiu said, "Father, he was obedient before and came back with us. It shows that this man is also useful."
This time Sui Wujiu smiled and looked at Sui Bujiu: "Bujiu, it's precisely because this person is back that he can't be used by me."
Sui Buxiu was stunned: "Why?"
Sui Wu Jiu shook his head and sighed, "You kid, your appearance and aptitude are all like mine when I was young, but your temperament is not like mine."
Besides father and son, there was another person in the house, Bai Ying. He had been standing at the back of the table, but when he heard what Sui Wujiu said, he said, "My lord, that's not what you said. Young master grew up in the capital of the country. If his temperament is not tolerant and soft, I'm afraid that The Grand Duke can no longer see the young master now."
For a guard leader to interrupt and say such words is a huge transgression. But Sui Wujiu didn't take it seriously and instead nodded: "That's true."
He paused and put the handkerchief on the table: "Bai Ying, you are here to teach me endlessly. Why can't Li Bochen stay?"
Baiying clasped his fists: "Yes."
Then he looked at Sui Bujie: "Young Master, you should know that although the Grand Duke does not ask about the military affairs in the city, he needs to know the situation of the generals in the army. In the past ten years, I have collected and integrated more than a hundred generals in the army for the Grand Duke. General information.”
Sui Buxiu frowned slightly and nodded: "I know."
Baiying added: "There are ten thousand troops stationed in Wuliang City, and there is a Dutong. Under the Dutong, there are three commanders. Under each commander, there are six commanders. Under each commander, there are five more commanders. Hundred generals. Under each hundred generals, there are ten ten generals.”
"Total together, there are more than 100 officers with more than 100 generals. There are many people, so I will first screen out some that I think are important, and then report them to the Grand Duke for review. Three years ago, Ling Yi served as the commander-in-chief of the city. At that time, a new group of generals came to the army and a new group of generals were promoted. Among these people, I only felt that there were twelve talents who could be used, so I reported the names of those twelve people to the Grand Duke, and I also Pay special attention to them.”
Sui Buxiu thought for a while: "Among the twelve people at that time, Li Boxen was not there?"
"Yes." Baiying sighed again, "That's why I felt angry when I saw him on the snowfield last night. After returning to the castle to check, I remembered that he was a commander three years ago. At that time, he was Only nineteen years old.”
"Why didn't General Bai think he was a talent at that time?"
Baiying smiled bitterly: "Actually, I paid attention to him at the beginning. Although the commander is a lower-ranking officer, he is also the highest level among the lower three ranks. Being a commander at the age of nineteen is indeed considered young and promising, so at that time I checked him in the first batch. But after checking, I found out that the reason why this man can lead is only based on two things. First, this man is very powerful, has good kung fu, and is not afraid of death in battle. "
"Second, this man is lucky. There are many people like him who are not afraid of death and have great strength, but most of them died. But he was lucky, and he was gradually promoted to commander. As for other aspects, there is nothing surprising. The thing is, he is not good at strategy, and he is not very good at the world, he is just a reckless man with good luck. There are many such people in the army, so I will not pay attention to him. "
Sui Buxiu was stunned for a moment, feeling that the Li Bochen Baiying mentioned was not the same person as the Li Bochen he saw.
