Baiying saw Sui Bujiu's expression and knew what he was thinking. So he said: "Yes. I met Li Bochen last night, and when I think about the Li Bochen I checked three years ago, I feel that he is not the same person."
"Young Master said that Li Bochen was hiding in the belly of the demon beast at that time, and then he attacked the demon spirit and cut off its head, so that you two could escape. Young Master, think about it, a few days had passed since the war, and Li Bochen was also there I have been hiding in the monster's belly for several days. This kind of forbearance is really rare. And then I take action to save the young master and kill the demon spirit. This kind of courage and decisiveness is also really rare."
"Further on, the young master wanted to ask him to leave on the snowy field. But this man guessed what the young master was thinking, and he really wanted to leave after taking the jade pendant. Such mental courage was something that the former reckless man Li Bochen could have Is that so? If he were the one I investigated three years ago, he would happily escort the young master back to Wuliang City and would never think about anything else."
"And I stopped him on the ground. If that reckless man Li Bochen was the one who wanted to risk his life and find a way out at that time. But this Li Bochen did nothing and really followed us back. Because he knew that at that time The situation is desperate for him, and only long-term planning can find a way out."
"Not to mention that I was listening to his words and watching his actions just now at the foot of the mountain. What he said was that he was grateful to Duke Chebei for his great kindness, but in his heart he still felt that we would never let him go. I removed the sign on his door Lock, dispersed the guards and went into hiding. But just now when Brown Feather came to report, this Li Bochen ordered two more bottles of wine and got drunk. He must have known that we wanted to ask him to leave on purpose - once he left the yard After reaching the mountain, we can treat him as a fugitive and kill him out of fear of crime."
Bai Ying breathed a sigh of relief: "Think about it, young master. This man is obviously thoughtful, brave and strategic, and can be called a general. Why did he only act like a reckless man three years ago? After I came back, I checked him again. Three years of performance - since Ling Yi's death, Li Boxen is no longer as brave as before, but much more alert and cautious."
"But people who know him say that in the past three years, although Li Bochen no longer fought as bravely as before, the soldiers under his command were the ones who died the least in battle."
"This means that in the past three years, Li Bochen deliberately hid his clumsiness and concealed his edge, even from me. And in the past three years, he deliberately stopped asking himself to challenge himself and only saved his life. , What are you waiting for? Although I don’t know why he did this now, but this kind of person knows what happened to the young master in the snow field... and his scheming is so deep, can he still stay? "
Sui Buxiu was silent for a while and tugged on his collar. His mouth felt dry. Baiying walked up to him and poured him a cup of warm tea.
Sui Buxiu raised his cup and drank the tea, sighing inwardly.
If Li Boxen is really as Bai Ying said, then he really can't stay. Although he only spent a few hours with this person, he actually had a good impression of him. Last night, he only felt that this Li Bochen was upright and open-minded, neither humble nor arrogant. He did not show any trepidation or petty overtures like others because he was the prince of Chebei and a monk from a temple.
Therefore, it was only when he was on the snowy field that he couldn't bear to have this man get into a lot of trouble when he returned to the city and wanted to ask him to leave. Later, he was stopped by Baiying, who promised Li Boxen to save his life - and that was sincere.
However, both his father and Bai Ying were now suspicious of him. Even if Li Bochen hid his humiliation for some not bad reasons, he had nothing to say to defend him. All I can do is burn an extra stick of incense for him in the coming year.
Li Bochen, don't blame me. It is true that we, the Sui clan in Wuliang City, cannot tolerate even the slightest mistake.
Sui Buxiu stood up: "Father, General Bai, I understand. So, will General Bai take action soon? For the sake of saving me, please leave a whole body."
Bai Ying smiled and said: "Young master is kind, and Li Bochen is lucky to be in the spring. But I am not in a hurry. I plan to take action at dawn."
"Why?"
"I'm worried that there are other forces involved in him, especially the one in the capital. Now that I've seen through him, it's a good opportunity. The dozen people I transferred to guard the front and back of the house are actually looking for people from the military and He is not a bad soldier."
"If Li Bochen still has accomplices in the city, he will definitely take the opportunity to spread the news to them through the soldiers guarding them. In this way, we will lead those people out tonight."
Sui Buxiu nodded slightly. But then he said: "What if he doesn't spread the news tonight, and no one comes to contact him?"
Baiying smiled slightly and was about to speak when there was a knock on the dining room door. He bowed his hand to Sui Buxiu and opened the door first. A brown-feathered guard stood outside the door and whispered something in a low voice. After hearing this, Baiying gave some instructions, then closed the door and walked back.
"Grand Duke, Young Master." He looked calm, "As expected. Someone has picked up Li Bochen. There is really something wrong with this man."
…
Li Boxen slept during the day and did not feel sleepy at night. Before, he drank three bottles of wine to put himself to sleep and did things in his dreams. Now he has done everything he can and only feels more energetic.
But now it seemed to be colder in the room than outside, so he wrapped himself in a quilt and lay down to sleep, waiting and mentally deducing what tonight would be like.
For the past three years, he had been telling himself to do things with his tail between his legs and never lose his life impulsively, and that was actually what he did. Only last night I acted recklessly and ended up in the current situation.
He summed it up and felt that he was not to blame. In the past three years, although Wuliang City and the demon army from the Demon Kingdom had come and gone, the fighting was not too intense. He was cautious and had no danger every time, so he thought it would be good to practice here first. But the battle a few days ago really scared him—hundreds of people died around him, and their lives were like nothing. No matter how careful he was, his leg was bitten and he almost died on the snowy field.
So I told myself that I had to find a way to leave the battlefield. Then I saw Sui Bujie and realized that the opportunity had come. Perhaps it was because of the influence of the remaining emotions of that person in the past. At that moment, in addition to planning for himself, he also really had the idea of sacrificing his life to serve the country.
It's a pity that his rare blood was spilled on the snowy field, and it was destined to condense into blood ice. Bai Ying will be here by dawn at the latest.
The reason why he was sure that Chebei Gong Sui Wujiu would not immediately call his bodyguard to take action was because he saw in his dream the appearance of being tight on the outside and loose on the inside.
Removing the guard outside the door should have two meanings. One is to make him feel that they no longer doubt him, and the other is to make others feel that they no longer doubt him.
And this "other person" should be the current King of Sui. The King of Sui must have spies in the city to monitor his brother's every move, ready to find out what was wrong at any time. Sui Buxiu was first wrapped up by the monster and then returned to the city with him. The informants in Wuliang City would not do nothing.
As for Chebei Gong Sui Wujiu, he probably also wanted to use himself to attract those informants.
This is the second guarantee of his survival.
When I thought of this, I suddenly heard the door panel of the outhouse rang softly, and then someone seemed to step in.
Not Baiying. Featherman's bones are honeycomb-shaped and much lighter than humans. Listen to the footsteps, they are human. So Li Boxen took a breath and remained motionless.
After a while, my face felt cold, as if snow had been sprinkled on it. He immediately acted as if he had been awakened and said "hmm" in a daze.
Then I heard the man whisper: "General Li, you are about to die, but you can still sleep so soundly?"
