Li Boxen returned to the foot of the slope, found his horse, and walked slowly towards the village, stepping on the paper money on the ground. In the past, when he had troubles or was uneasy about something, he liked to practice swordsmanship and take a walk. But after walking a hundred or so steps, I still couldn't calm down.
It's not anxiety, nor joy, but like a caged fire. Sui Buxiu, Li Ding, Bi Hai, and even Ye Lu, whom they have never met before, all have doubts about his identity. Is it possible that he is Beichen's bloodline in this world?
Could it be that Chang Tingwei fled to the Sui Kingdom because she was pregnant with the blood of King Li's family?
Then why did she run away?
On this point, he had a guess. I had heard when I was in Wuliang City that the six royal families had extremely strict restrictions on their heirs. This is because of the particularity of the inheritance of emperor’s luck.
If the current King of Sui dies, then the luck of Emperor Liudu will leave his body and spread to others in the royal family surnamed Sui. If this "other person" had prayed to the emperor in a secret way when the Sui King was still alive, he would have been the successor he selected. If King Sui died suddenly and did not tell the emperor about the matter, then the fate of the emperor would randomly select one person from the royal bloodline and attach it to him.
This kind of situation is naturally very rare. It is said that it has never happened since the Six Kingdoms.
But even so, this kind of thing has to be guarded against. Therefore, royal families of all surnames are extremely cautious when breeding heirs. To choose a man or a woman, you must be the best among them, and it is strictly forbidden to have children out of wedlock.
Because if it's like the Li Kingdom...if it's like my situation, and almost all of the royal family is wiped out, but two people are left behind, the fate of the emperor will be attached to one of them.
If he had not lived among the people, but was a legitimate member of the royal family with the surname Li like the Linxi Lord, he could now inherit Zhengshuo and restore the country.
But if they really have Beichen's luck and they don't know where they are, it will be too troublesome to do things.
Even if he did not encounter a catastrophe like that of the Li Kingdom, but the king of the Li Kingdom died suddenly, his luck would also come to him. Firstly, his successor would be living among the people and it would be difficult to find him. Secondly, even if he was found, he would not be able to find him. I haven’t learned anything since I was a child, so how can I be a ruler and govern a country?
Could it be that Chang Tingwei...could it be that she had an affair with a certain grandson of the King of Li by chance? Later, when the incident happened, she realized that she could not legitimately marry into the royal family, so she came to the Sui Kingdom?
If this is the case, there must be very few people involved at this time, and very few people who really want to pursue her. Even after finding that she can't be found for a while, they will worry that a big fight may lead to the revelation of the matter, so they simply don't look for her!
In this way, it can explain all the irregularities in those years.
Li Bochen thought of this, stepped on a raised stone on the road, and suddenly woke up.
He was stunned for a moment, thinking to himself, did he really think that he must be the successor of Beichen?
I asked again in my heart, do I hope there will be such a result?
To be honest, he didn't know either.
The person blessed by Beichen Emperor's destiny... This status is so noble that he has never even thought about it before. The burden of this identity is too heavy, to the point of being terrifying.
The Linxi Lord who asked Li Ding to serve also had the real surname of King Li, but he was not blessed by luck. He must have concealed this matter for so many years.
What would happen if Lord Linxi knew his identity?
Li Bochen has never met Linxi Jun, but his impression of him cannot be said to be bad. Because Li Ding said before that he wanted to get the magic sword for Lord Linxi, but then he gave it to himself. That morning, he also relayed the words of Lord Linxi, saying that the sword is for those who are virtuous - a person who can say such words, can give away the magic sword with such magnanimity...
Just thinking about it made Li Bochen feel a little distracted.
What would such a person do?
Will he give up the foundation he has built over the years to himself? Follow destiny?
In fact, there is a more convenient way - take your own life, and the luck will naturally go to him.
Li Bochen couldn't help but feel a chill in his heart when he thought of this - on the day when Li Ding gave him Beichen Xinjue Ming, would Linxi Jun be in the house?
No... that morning! Li Ding first walked into the mist by the lake, and then came back with the knife! Linxi Jun was just a few dozen steps away at that time! ?
He suddenly felt a cold sweat break out on his back. Most of the time, he would think the best of people, but he also felt that he might have been on the verge of death both times.
But then I thought again, if Lord Linxi was someone like Sui Ziang, since he was suspicious of himself, he probably would not test him again and again, but would just kill himself to save his worries. But if he didn't do that, does that mean that he is indeed an honest gentleman?
If he were really such a gentleman, if his identity were known to the world, everything he had worked so hard to build would collapse in an instant. And I...do I really want to take any responsibility for that piece of land I have never set foot on? Even if you think about it, can you really afford it?
He is not a person who belittles himself, but he also knows that it is difficult, so difficult that it is almost impossible to do it.
He couldn't help but let out a long sigh and thought to himself, I wanted to get ahead in the past, but I had to suffer in Wuliang City for three years. I had accepted my fate a few days ago and wanted to live a more stable life, but now I encountered something like this again.
Emperor Beichen... If I were really the person you chose, what exactly do you want me to do?
He sighed three times and walked to the entrance of the village again. He stopped and stood for a while, slowly suppressed all these thoughts, and thought to himself, no matter what happened in the future, the first thing he had to do was to figure things out - Bi Hai gave him the method, but now it seems that he doesn't have to use it. used!
After making up his mind, he walked towards the village.
Entering the dirt road in the village, I saw a few people, all old men and women. The young people must have gone to the mountain cemetery to help. Apart from salesmen, there are not many strangers in such a village. The old people stared at him when they saw him, but when they saw his big horse and the knife on its back, they quickly looked away and hid in the house.
After Li Bochen left Zhangcheng, he knew that each place might have its own sea arrest documents and there should also be notices offering rewards for portraits, so he didn't shave. Now his beard is slightly thicker. At first glance, he does look like a big man with a beard. No wonder they can't recognize him.
He then led the horse along the road for a while, and came to the east of the village. He felt in the horse's baggage, took out two silver collars, and threw them into the courtyards of the two houses. They died because of Chang Tingwei and themselves. Two thousand dollars is nothing, and it can't buy peace of mind. It's just a token of appreciation.
Li Bochen said in his heart, no matter whether my identity is real or not, human life is real. This matter started with me and must be ended by me.
Then he looked at the house where Chang Tingwei once lived from a distance, got on his horse, turned around with a rein, and galloped out of the village.
