After hearing this, Sui Ziang ignored the complaints and said hurriedly: "Huh? Why? General Li, you still have friends at Kongminghui. If they know that you killed Ye Chengchou and you hesitate to go, it will inevitably make them think that you are here." You ran away - and when you became angry, your friend's life was at risk!"
What he said was true. But Li Bochen also knew that what Fang Yu said during the day made sense - with his current injury, returning to Zhangcheng to save people would be tantamount to seeking death. Although he is not afraid of taking risks, he still has to have some assurance in his heart. Although the two encounters between Wujing Mountain and Zhangshan were extremely dangerous, there was still room for mediation. But now if we go back to Zhangcheng, there is no possibility of survival at all.
He understands that he must first save himself before he can save others. Then he smiled and said: "Actually, there is another way - I will send Mr. Sui's hand back, so they will not dare to act rashly."
Sui Ziang was shocked when he heard this and said hurriedly: "No, no, no, General Li, I can do things for you, there is no need for this method!"
After he said this, he was relieved when he saw Li Bochen just looking at him and smiling slightly: "Ah... you really shocked me. You are a great hero, how could you do such a thing. General Li, let's When I met Shuxue... To be honest, even though I offended you at that time, I also knew that you were definitely an extraordinary person. Alas... In this world, there are really few people like you who are kind and righteous. ”
Li Bochen said: "It's just that you didn't expect things to turn out like this. To be honest, I didn't expect it either - at that time I just thought you were a noble man who liked to talk, but I didn't expect that your methods were also very vicious."
As he spoke, he stood up and walked to Sui Ziang, reaching out to untie the rope that bound his hands. Sui Ziang's face lit up with joy and he said hurriedly: "It's all over... In the past, it was me who had no vision but no--ah!!!"
He suddenly let out a scream and his body arched up like a prawn.
Li Bochen punched him in the back of his heart, causing his screams to stop suddenly. Then he threw his right hand aside and tapped his arm a few times to stop the bleeding. Then he took out Yaohou and roasted it on the bonfire.
Sui Ziang's scream turned into a low whimper, his face was covered with tears, and he was fighting for the ground with his head. After a while, he gritted his teeth and took a breath and stared at Li Bochen: "You - you are so brave!! Li Bochen, if I don't take your head, I, I, I -"
Li Bochen also turned to look at him and said in a deep voice: "Why, do you really think that just because your surname is Sui, I won't dare to touch you?"
"The thing about Tao Zhai is that you asked people to set up the formation. If I hadn't taken action, Tao Wenbao and his son would be dead now. Just now in that valley, the Jiao man's life was gone. I have been in Zhangcheng for less than half a month. , you are going to take the lives of three people, and you have done so many evil things in the past - if I really let people like you go back safely, I will become a evil person. Cutting off this hand can also be considered as atonement for your sins. .”
Sui Ziang was trembling with pain, and just as he was about to speak again, Li Bochen had already placed Yaohou on the wound on his right wrist. He didn't even make a sound, he fainted from the pain. Li Bochen unblocked his acupuncture points, tore off his clothes and wrapped the wound tightly.
Then he sat back by the campfire, stared at Sui Ziang's severed hand on the ground for a while, and sighed.
Even though I said what I just said, I still felt a little unhappy. Even though Sui Ziang was a wicked person, cutting off the hand of such a defenseless prisoner was close to evil for him. However, there is nothing we can do about it after all... To save people, we have to make some sacrifices.
The human heart is evil... the human heart is evil. He recited this sentence silently in his heart, and then said, I hope his heart will not become so sinister in the end.
He stared at the bonfire in a daze for a while, then stood up and walked outside the cave, split a piece of wood with a dagger, and whittled it into a wooden sign. After thinking for a moment, he used his knife to carve words on the wooden sign:
It has been found that the people in Kongminghui colluded with Li Guo's rebel party and colluded with the Demonic Kingdom. The two cities of Wanyou and Wuliang fell because they leaked their military defenses. Ye Chengchou wanted to kidnap Sui Zi'ang as a hostage in Zhangshan, and blackmailed the prince to serve the demon kingdom. Mr. Sui fought hard and cut off one of his palms, but was later rescued by me.
Mr. Liaofu is currently under surveillance by the congregation, and there may be a big disaster. Tao Wenbao's family, Ye Yinghong and others are all subordinates of Chebeigong and are now imprisoned. Duke Chebei secretly ordered Ben to rescue him and go to the capital as a witness.
The king of Fu is the surname of the country, and he has been favored by the king in his life. If you want to save the lives of your family, you must not go against the grain and offend the Spirit. If you can help this general succeed, your noble son will be worthy of your return.
After he finished carving, he blew it and recited it silently again, feeling that there was nothing wrong with it. These words should be difficult to convince Zhangcheng Fuzhi to help him, but they can drive into his heart like a wedge. No one would be happy to have a force like the Kong Minghui under their control, but the chief officials of each state had no complaints, probably because the "Supreme Lord" of the Kongming Hui accompanied the emperor.
After Zhangcheng Fuzhi read this, even if he didn't believe it, he would temporarily save their lives.
He put down the wooden board and planned to carve another copy for Zhangcheng Governor. But after thinking about it, I gave up.
A hundred or two hundred years ago, the governor of the courtyard was still useful - the chief officer was a son of the king who came from temples in various countries. There were also some practitioners in the courtyard, who were in charge of miraculous things in various places. They should take care of people like Ye Chengchou, Sui Ziang, and Kong Minghui who use their magical powers to harm good people. If the local tiger He Bo is tyrannical and harms the world, they should report it to the king of the country.
But in recent years, the people in the governor's court have stopped taking care of things. I heard that there are many chief officials in the court like Sui Zi'ang. They can talk too much, but if they really want to do things, they are all cowards. There were so many things happening in the city in the past few days, but no one thought that "this matter can be reported to the Governor's Court", which is evident.
So he put down the knife, took a piece of roasted horse meat and ate it. This meat has no blood and no condiments. It tastes fishy. But after being hungry all day, he didn't find it difficult to eat. He ate half of what was roasted on the fire. Feeling only half full, he cut some more and roasted them.
Two-quarters of an hour later, half of the horse's leg was inserted into his belly. He felt that his belly and body were getting warm, so he patted Sui Zi'ang awake, pinched a piece and brought it to his mouth. At this time, the young master with the surname Guo finally showed his integrity. After just sniffing, he stared at Li Bochen with his eyes fixed and refused to open his mouth or speak.
Li Bochen ate by himself, wiped his hands on his body, walked out of the cave and chopped some more firewood, picked up a few large rocks to build a stove, chopped up most of the remaining horse legs and smoked them inside.
After doing this, he stood under the tree outside the cave and looked into the mountains. It was completely dark and twilight was approaching. Here you can see a corner of Zhang City in the distance, like a pile of embers surrounded by mountains. He thought to himself, Li Ding, you'd better do things quickly. I've helped you as you said, now it's your turn to help me.
Just as he thought this, he saw some lights appearing in the forest in the distance, like fireflies.
His heart skipped a beat, and he knew it was time for people from Zhangcheng to go into the mountains to look for someone.
