coming. Li Boxen thought to himself, King Sui's people are coming.
He immediately turned over and reached out to grab the man's throat. But the one who came was faster than him. He grabbed his wrist with his backhand and shouted: "I am a friend, not an enemy. General, don't make any mistakes!"
Li Bochen was stunned for a moment and had no time to take action again. The man also put down his wrist, took a step back and said, "General, does he know what the situation is now?"
Li Bochen's stunned look just now was half sincere. Because the voice of the visitor was very familiar—it was Yan Baiheng. The 10,000 Dongfu troops stationed in Wuliang City were divided into three armies: the front, middle and rear. Yan Baiheng was a hundred generals in the rear army's supply department. When he was the commander, he cooperated with him several times.
He thought that King Sui's spy should be a soldier, but he was relieved after thinking about it. Being an officer is far safer than being a soldier, and being a baggage officer in the rear army is even safer.
He turned over and climbed up and said in a deep voice: "Yan Baiheng? What are you doing here? What do you mean?"
"General Li, to make a long story short. You thought Sui Wu Jiu was going to promote you, right? But I guess he will send someone to take your life by morning at the latest."
Li Bochen wiped the snow off his face: "General Yan, I don't know what you are talking about."
Yan Baiheng smiled in the darkness: "But I know that when Sui Buxiu returned to the city from the original land, it would not be as simple as killing a demon spirit as they said. General Li, was Sui Buxiu captured? And Were you lucky enough to rescue him?"
Li Boxen couldn't help but sigh secretly in his heart. This Yan Baiheng is really powerful. Less than a day after he and Sui Buxiu returned to Wuliang City, he had already guessed the matter very closely... Maybe he was not the only one who had King Sui's eyes. Duke Che Bei Someone should be placed there.
Seeing that he didn't speak, Yan Baiheng lowered his voice: "Chebei Gong Sui Wujiu was sent to Wuliang City because he had a feud with the current king. He is usually cautious for fear of causing any criticism. Everyone in the city knows it. If Sui Buxiu really They lost the royal family's face by being captured, and once their father and son broke through the city and fell into the enemy's trap, can they still maintain their glorious status?"
"General Li, think about it. If an outsider like you knows about this kind of thing, can you still be alive? I want you to know that there are swordsmen and crossbowmen ambushing them next door and behind the mountain. If you don't believe it, you can go and see for yourself. ! Besides, think about their attitude towards you today, isn’t there anything unusual about it?”
Li Bochen was originally worried that Yan Baiheng would be discovered when he came in. But he actually knew the ambush arrangements around the yard, and it seemed that he had used some means to sneak in quietly. He had a few thoughts in his mind and said, "...ah? How is this possible? Mr. Chebei..."
At this point, he stopped and turned to look out the window.
Yan Baiheng breathed a sigh of relief at his appearance - under his guidance, this man must have really figured out what was wrong. He didn't want to give Li Boxen time to think too much, so he struck while the iron was hot: "It seems you have understood. If you want to live, only I can save you!"
Li Bochen was stunned for a while and then said: "General Yan, who are you? Why should I trust you?"
Taken the bait. Yan Baiheng thought in his heart, this Li Bochen is really a reckless man.
He then said in a deep voice: "I work for the king, and I was ordered to monitor Sui Wujiu in Wuliang City. Tell me everything you know, and I will take you away immediately to the capital!"
He was indeed King Sui's spy. Li Boxen originally thought that if there were such people in the city, they would definitely want to find out what happened during the few days when Sui Buxiu disappeared, and maybe they would pass on information to him secretly, so that he could seek help from them. But he didn't expect that Yan Baiheng was so powerful that he could sneak in under the eyes of the guards.
If he could really take himself away, there would be a way. Of course Li Boxen didn't want to go to the capital to serve as a witness and get himself into deeper muddy waters, but once he got out of here, it would indeed be much easier to get rid of Yan Baiheng.
He then spoke in panic: "I don't know much about this matter. During the battle a few days ago, I was just ordered to go out of the city and wait in the Yinma Gorge area, saying that I was supporting Sui Bujiu. Later, I heard that Sui Bujiu was demonized. The beast was captured... But then several more demon beasts escorted Sui Buxiu to Yinma Gorge. Only then did I know that he was not captured... There was also a demon spirit among them who cut off his own head. What did he say? I'll lend you my head, and when the matter is done—"
He made up this nonsense, pretending that he was getting more and more frightened as he talked, and suddenly stopped talking. Yan Bai asked hurriedly: "What happened? What happened?"
"You take me away first, and I'll tell you everything when I'm safe!"
Yan Baiheng cursed secretly in his heart. He originally wanted to get away from Li Bochen by asking him what happened - he guessed that Sui Buxiu was captured. As long as this matter is confirmed, Li Boxen is not important. He reported the news truthfully and waited for the reward here.
But he didn't expect that what Li Bochen said would make his scalp numb!
Judging from the meaning behind his words, Sui Buxiu had reached some kind of agreement with the monster! ? How can this be! ?
But he felt that Li Boxen would not lie to him with such lies. When I dealt with the former commander a few years ago, I already knew that this man was a reckless man who had no other thoughts and was only thinking about "killing the enemy and getting promoted." If you can have the quick wit to tell lies, it will be unless there is someone else under the skin.
He thought about it again and felt that what Li Bochen said was not entirely impossible - Chebei Gong Sui Wujiu was the most likely person to inherit the throne, but he was defeated because of the emperor's support for Jinshang. Now push him harder...if this person is so depressed and full of anxiety that he jumps over the wall...
You must know that not all monsters in the Demon Kingdom are monsters. The ruling class is Rakshasa people and Sumeru people, and they are not much different from humans!
If what Li Bochen said was true, it would be a great disaster for the Sui Kingdom and even the Six Kingdoms of the Emperor. But for him, it is a great opportunity! If this matter is found out in his own hands and he is rewarded based on his merits afterwards, even if his merits are stripped down layer by layer, what he will receive will be unimaginable glory in this life. Then he doesn't have to stay in the bitter cold of the Northern Plains anymore, and he doesn't have to hold his head to fight monsters!
You can really take the risk and take him away - if you don't enter the tiger's den, you won't get the tiger's cubs! ?
Yan Baiheng was about to respond cruelly, when suddenly another thought occurred to him.
Something's wrong!
"How can Sui Wujiu trust General Li to do such a thing?" He smiled coldly, "I'm here to save your life, and you're just coaxing me like this?"
Li Bochen said hurriedly: "No, General Yan, I didn't lie to you. I have been Sui Wujiu's man for a long time. He doesn't trust others, but he won't distrust me!"
Yan Baiheng just stared at him in the darkness without saying a word. Li Bochen realized that the person in front of him was indeed not someone to be coaxed - he should have been excited after hearing what he said, but he immediately woke up. For this kind of person, it is difficult to win trust with ordinary words, but because he is smart enough, he can be told to lie to himself.
So Li Bochen hesitated for a moment and made a desperate gesture: "General Yan, do you still remember what happened three years ago?"
