He closed the door and sat back on the bed, feeling a tightness in his chest. He didn't think about Sui Buxiu, but he still thought about Tao Chunxi. He thought for a moment that in just three days, would she really like him to the point where she wanted to fly away with him for a moment? After a while, I wondered if I had hurt her heart just now. It was the first time in this world that he knew that a beautiful girl had feelings for him, and he felt flattered and ashamed at the same time.
After a while, he let out a long sigh, thinking that this was really not the time for children to love each other. Miss Tao, if you really like me, it's just because we are not destined to be together.
But even so, my heart still couldn't calm down. He turned off the lights and lay on the bed, unable to sleep for the first time. He knew that the current situation was actually a bit dangerous. He had just entered the Qi-nourishing realm, and his foundation was unstable. There was still the flesh and blood of monsters in his body, and he might fall into the devil's tribulation again.
He did not dare to meditate in this situation, so he simply opened his eyes and looked at the roof of the shed, thinking: Emperor Beichen, please wish me everything goes well tomorrow.
After saying this, I couldn't help but laugh at myself. When he was in Beiyuan, he didn't really like to pray to a certain spiritual god, because he felt that doing so was placing his hope on some illusory existence, and it was something he would do only when he was at the end of his rope. But then I gradually learned that spiritual gods in this world really exist, and gradually developed the same habits as other people.
In the past three years, he had escaped death many times. I wonder if it was the emperor who was protecting him. However, the Demon Kingdom is about to move south, and the world is going to be devastated. Why are the spiritual gods in the netherworld indifferent?
In this way, he didn't know when he fell asleep.
It was still dark after he woke up, but he was no longer sleepy. I lay on the bed for a while and remembered the dream I had at night. In the dream, I heard myself say, "Bless me everything will go well tomorrow." He looked frightened. He thought to himself, am I really so afraid? He also realized that most of the dangers he experienced in the past were dealing with monsters and beasts, but now he was dealing with humans.
Looking at it this way, humans are much scarier than monsters.
He got up and dressed, put on his iron armor under his outer robe, carried a knife, and went downstairs to the hall to order some food.
But halfway through eating, the door was suddenly pushed open, and three people walked in with a chill. Li Bochen looked up and saw Sui Zi'ang, Fang Yu, and Ye Chengchou.
He knew something was coming, so he put down his bowls and chopsticks and said, "...Why are you guys here?"
The tone of his words was different from yesterday, which was a sign of weakness. But Sui Ziang smiled, walked to the table and said: "General Li, my father and I thought about it last night and felt that it is not suitable for the general to stay in Zhangcheng anymore."
Li Bochen was stunned and said hurriedly: "Ah... Mr. Sui is right, I have exactly what I mean. After eating this meal, I will set off to join Duke Chebei. Thanks to Mr. Sui's care these days, the general... "
Sui Buxiu took one out of the chopstick cage on the table and turned it around in his hand, looking at him with a smile, as if he was very satisfied with his attitude at this time. He threw his chopsticks on the table and said, "General, how do you want to get out of the city? These are extraordinary times, so I'm afraid there will be too much inconvenience. I think this way: General, follow us to Zhang Mountain, where there is a trail leading directly to Xiliu City. In this way, General Li will go It’s easy for the gods and ghosts to notice, and there will be less trouble on our side.”
Li Bochen thought for a moment, glanced at the three of them, and hesitated slightly. Ye Chengchou didn't look at him. He stood with his hands behind his back, looking very popular. Fang Yun narrowed his eyes slightly. Li Bochen then said: "...Okay. It just so happened that Lord Chebei sent a letter last night, telling me to keep a low profile."
Sui Ziang laughed: "The general has returned to Duke Chebei. Please say a few kind words for us. It's late, let's leave quickly."
When I went out, I saw five horses parked in front of the door. One of the horses was carrying a large, bulging black bag. Seeing him glance at it, Sui Ziang said: "The mountain road is difficult to travel, and here is food and drink for the general, and some rituals."
Li Bochen was overjoyed and said: "Thank you very much, Mr. Sui is very interested."
Sui Ziang smiled: "It should be."
When he spoke this morning, he was very organized, and his expression was humble and peaceful. He looked exactly like he did when Zai Shuxue met him for the first time. Therefore, Li Boxen knew that what Fang Yu said last night was going to come true - Sui Ziang must have felt that there was no return to this trip, so he could be so calm and calm.
He sighed in his heart and said that although father and son Sui Wujiu and Sui Bujiu could be called ruthless, compared to Sui Zianglai, Sui Bujiu was much more mature and steady.
When the four of them left the city, the sky had just turned white, and they were walking on the same road they had walked yesterday morning. It's just that Sui Zi'ang was in low spirits yesterday, but now he is full of energy and talkative. After walking for a while, he said: "General Li, to be honest, I didn't figure out what happened between us a few days ago until last night."
Li Bochen was stunned and said, "What does Mr. Sui mean?"
"At first I thought you were lustful, greedy, and vulgar. But last night I thought of the scars on your body, and I felt that it was because of people like you who resisted the monsters in Beiyuan that we could live a good life." Sui Ziang sighed, "Oh , I didn’t think it was anything before, but now that I know that the demon army has broken through Dangtu Mountain, I realize that I really underestimated the general before."
Li Bochen didn't know whether his words were sincere or false, so he said: "Young Master Sui is full of praise. The general is also getting carried away with himself, and he really shouldn't."
Sui Ziang waved his hand: "The general knows that I also want to serve the country, but I just don't have the means. Now I am in the Qi-nurturing realm, and I have some strength - oh, by the way, the general has outstanding military exploits, what kind of realm is this?"
Oh, so that’s what I was asking. Ye Chengchou also rode beside the two of them, looking straight ahead. But when Sui Ziang asked this question, Li Bochen noticed that his eyes moved slightly. He smiled and said: "Like Mr. Sui, I am also in the Qi-nurturing realm. But Mr. Sui is practicing the temple method of the Liudu lineage, right? I am practicing the superficial method in the military. Although they are in the same realm, but they are in the same realm. In terms of foundation and spiritual power, he is definitely not as good as the young master."
Sui Ziang laughed loudly: "General, you are too humble. You can kill the enemy on the battlefield and accumulate merits to lead a battalion. Your methods are definitely not comparable to mine. We know three or four surgeries. It is useful to fight for strength and ruthlessness on weekdays, but on the battlefield, I’m afraid it’s useless, right?”
Li Bochen sighed in his heart and said that this person now has murderous intentions towards him, but his words are much nicer and more truthful. It is really ironic. He then hurriedly said: "I'm sorry to say that the general only knows one technique to destroy the army. This technique is really useless on the battlefield - if it is used, it will be the end of the road. On weekdays, we have to defeat those monsters. Beasts, you still have to rely on the power of military weapons and armor. I heard that Mr. Sui's intelligence is unparalleled, and he is much more useful than a little officer like me."
Sui Ziang laughed and said: "What did the general say? Don't dare to take it seriously! Don't take it seriously! Come, General Li, this is Master Ye Chengchou from Sanlao Cave in Zhangshan Mountain. The Immortal Mansion is in the mountain. Let's go to his place to rest for a while. , and then send the general on his way."
After hearing this, Ye Chengchou glanced at him and nodded slightly.
Li Bochen sneered in his heart, thinking that he should go the other way. But today I really can’t say who will leave first.
