Although a person is suspicious of something, he will always have some tendency, either to believe it or not to believe it.
Yan Baiheng leaned towards the former, probably even he didn't realize this. After hearing Li Bochen's words, he was stunned for a moment, and then thought of what he was referring to.
Wasn't the big event three years ago the assassination of his predecessor Du Tong Ling Yi?
Among the people traveling with him at that time was indeed Li Boxen! But now... his heart skipped a beat, and he realized that except for this Li Boxen, everyone present at that time was indeed dead!
Ling Yi died strangely. The reason found out at that time was that General Lian Ce was resentful due to promotion and military achievements, so he assassinated the general. King Sui also secretly ordered the people in Wuliang City to continue secretly investigating the matter, but in the end no results were found, so he had to put it aside for the time being.
But now listening to Li Boxen's words, is this matter really related to Duke Chebei? It is indeed possible... Ling Yidutong is an indisputable person, which also means that it is difficult to win over!
"Did Sui Wujiu instruct you to assassinate the capital commander three years ago?"
Li Bochen said in panic: "That is my certificate of surrender... General Yan, please rescue me and I will tell you everything. I just hope that I can live the rest of my life in peace!"
When he said this, he saw the fierce light in Yan Baiheng's eyes flashing away. Li Bochen sighed in his heart - this fierce light must be because he felt that he murdered Ling Yi. Although the two of them had different positions at the moment, seeing Yan Baiheng lose his composure because of Ling Yi, he felt that he was not a bad person. He himself misses Ling Yi very much, and now he has no choice but to use the deceased to make an issue.
Because of this fierce light, Li Bochen decided that if he wanted to escape, he would try not to hurt him.
"Okay, I'll take you away." Yan Baiheng lowered his eyes and looked at him again, "I treated you well back then. As long as you have some conscience, just... take care of yourself!"
After saying this, he pulled out a short knife from his waist and threw it to Li Boxen: "Take it."
Li Bochen was stunned: "Are we going to kill him?"
"No, go out." Yan Baiheng said in a deep voice, "I remember that you are at the first level, spiritual enlightenment realm, and can barely be regarded as a cultivator... You should try your luck first and relax your mind."
He should use his magical powers, Li Boxen thought. It has been six years since I started practicing in the army, and I have only reached the entry-level level of spiritual enlightenment, and my skills can only be used to "break the army", and this is something that an army lieutenant general can learn. I don’t know what Yan Baiheng’s secret method is.
It was very windy tonight and the sky was covered with thick clouds, so I could barely make out the outline of Yan Baiheng's face. But after he said this, the person suddenly disappeared. Before Li Bochen had time to say anything, he felt a slight numbness on his body and could see Yan Baiheng again.
"General Yan, what is this?"
"Now we can see each other, but others can't see us." Yan Baiheng said in a low voice, "We will walk out from the front door in a while. You must not leave me within three steps. There is snow on the ground outside, so be sure to pick it up. When walking on ice, be sure not to leave any footprints."
It turned out to be a trace technique, a technique from Emperor Taisu's lineage. No wonder he could sneak in.
Li Bochen said in a deep voice: "Okay."
…
Baiying has always been proud of his pair of snow-like wings, because they are the symbol of the Habe royal family. But tonight was so important that he had to wear a leather helmet to cover his silver hair and blacken his wings with ink to better hide his traces in the sky.
Now he was more than ten meters in the air, with a panoramic view of the small courtyard where Li Boxen was. The ordinary soldiers in the courtyards on both sides and in the forest behind the mountain have been evacuated. These people do not understand what is going on here and are no longer needed.
There was another person beside him, also floating in the air. At a cursory glance, one would probably think that this man was at least a fifth-level monk in the Cave Mystic Realm, because he could control the air. But if you look closely, you will find that this person also has a pair of wings behind him - a pair of translucent wings made of vitality. And this man's hair is also black.
In fact, he is also a feathered man, but he is called a "wingless man". He was not born without wings, but had them removed when he was three or four years old. The lifespan of the Yu tribe is short, and most of them die when they are forty years old. The life of the wingless people who have their wings cut off is even shorter, and they usually only live to be thirty years old.
But in exchange for paying such a price, he gained the magical power to see through illusions below the third level, bones and muscles denser than humans, and a pair of wings made of vitality that were not afraid of swords.
It was this Yu Wei who saw Yan Baiheng walking into the courtyard.
Baiying had previously ordered the brown-feathered guard guarding the courtyard gate to move to the back mountain to take precautions, but he knew in his heart that tonight would be a sure thing. Although he did not expect that one of the spies planted by King Sui in Wuliang City would be Yan Baiheng, based on his understanding of this person, he knew that it would not be difficult to deal with him.
Yan Baiheng is in the second-level Qi-nurturing realm. In this aspect, he should not hide his true strength. Because Bai Ying remembered that about a year ago, this man had led three ten-man teams to escort a batch of grain and grass to the Blackwater Castle on the original plain. Encountered six monsters on the way, twenty-eight of thirty-one people died. Yan Baiheng was also seriously injured and almost died. If he had a higher level of cultivation, he would not be injured like that. In that life-or-death situation, there was no way this person was risking his life.
The enigma technique used by this person to enter the courtyard was a technique from Emperor Taisu's lineage. Most of the techniques taught by that emperor were not good at killing. The Yu Wei beside him can see through the illusion, so Yan Baiheng has nothing to worry about.
In Wuliang City today, the only one above the third level of Dragon and Tiger Realm is the Grand Duke. The only one who is also at the third level is the young master. In this case, he had to catch him alive - and then pry more things out of this person's mouth, and wipe out all the Sui King's informants in the city. Thanks to the fighting in the past few days, it is enough to say that they all died in the battle.
As for Li Boxen... Bai Ying frowned slightly. He actually felt that this warrior who was only at the first level of spiritual enlightenment made him more uneasy than Yan Baiheng. It is said that this person is only good at sword and horse kung fu and has no family background, so he should not be able to make big waves. But this man is flexible and flexible, and is not afraid of danger, which makes him unable to figure it out.
This man is a disaster. Now that King Sui's attention has been drawn out, he should be killed first to avoid future troubles.
Just as he was thinking about this, he suddenly saw the door of the house slowly opening.
"General, come out, here -" the Yu Wei beside him immediately shouted. But Baiying didn't use him to indicate the direction and estimated the person's position.
There is snow in the courtyard. People have been coming and going in the past few days, so they stepped on a path in the snow. People can walk on it without leaving any footprints. But the wind was strong tonight, and a layer of snow powder was blown over on both sides of the trail. But now, his pair of feathered eyes, far superior to those of an eagle, keenly noticed that the snow powder blown past two steps in front of the door was slightly mixed into a ball.
It was obviously because of some invisible obstacle that this phenomenon occurred!
"Which one is Li Boxen?"
Yu Wei immediately said: "The one at the back."
A ball of cyan light immediately condensed in Baiying's palm, and when he opened his fingers, the ball of light turned into a light arrow and shot down quickly. With this shot, the light appeared in his palm again, and in one second, he shot six arrows in succession!
Li Bochen is dead. In the midst of this electric light and flint, Bai Ying whispered in his heart.
