Li Bochen let out a sigh of relief, knowing what he meant by "another encounter".
Before coming here, I had thought that I might encounter strong enemies, but I also thought that since they did not dare to confront me head-on in the Sui Kingdom, it was obvious that they were still a little afraid of me. In this way, there will not be a huge gap in strength between the two sides, and no matter what kind of danger, they can fight.
Having broken Ye Lu's true body with the magic knife just now, I felt a little relieved, thinking that this person was nothing more than that.
But now, I finally realized that no matter how skilled this person was, his heart-killing skills were second to none.
It must be that these people were wary of their status as Beichen's descendants, and gradually felt that the risk of subduing themselves by force was too great, so they planned to use this underhanded method to force themselves to submit. Li Boxen thought to himself, this also shows that I have indeed some ability to protect myself and have the conditions to bargain with these people.
He said in a deep voice: "You underestimate me too much. I guess what you are going to say next is to ask me to cooperate with you and do something shameful. If so, it will not only harm the lives of the three people outside. , will bring harm to all the people in the world. Then I might as well kill you with one blow, and it will be regarded as a sacrifice to those three people."
Ye Lu suddenly coughed lightly, and coughed up some light blood foam and splashed on the tea table. He just looked at it and then smiled and said: "If General Li wants to kill me, he can certainly do it. I am good at some concealment techniques, but I am really not good at fighting. The two swords that killed me just now have not melted away yet." Woolen cloth."
"But the general also underestimated me and Jiang Kongminghui. You don't have to care about the lives of these three people, but even if I die, I can still leave a message. Then from now on, no matter where the general goes, unless he never Come into contact with people, otherwise, the lives of everyone who comes into contact with you will be in danger."
"What's even more terrible is that those who take their lives will not be evil people - there are many people who believe in the Great Sky Ming today, and most of them are kind-hearted people. What do these people believe? They think that the general is the incarnation of the devil and the same general. Those who have come into contact have all become evil spirits, so they have to be killed for the sake of justice in the world - can you also kill them all?"
"In the end, maybe I am the only one who did the evil. Those people, whether they were killed or the murderers, all died because of me and because of you. One or two, you can kill them. If there are a hundred or two Hundreds of them, even some innocent children, husbands and mothers, can you still kill them?"
It was the first time that Li Bochen saw a person who took evil for granted, and thought to himself, he really deserves to be a demon! He sneered: "So what? Husband and mother? Of those demon soldiers above the North Plains, which one is not the husband and father in the demon kingdom? But since we are on the battlefield, no one cares about them. What's more, since it's you who are empty If Minghui instigates people to do evil things, I will settle the score with you Kong Minghui!"
Ye Lu smiled again and shook his head, saying: "I'm afraid the general can't do this. I don't know if you have the world in mind, but I know that you don't want to see the people suffer. Speaking of Kongminghui... The general saw me, saw When I passed through Xucheng, I felt that both of us were evil people—it’s true.”
"That doesn't mean that the Kong Ming Society is not a good thing. General, does he know what I do? Although the four princes today all serve the emperor, the emperor has no control over their affairs in the country, so there is a Kong Ming Society. Yes. We share the emperor's worries within the Six Kingdoms - eliminate evildoers, corrupt officials, and provide relief to the people. Outside the Six Kingdoms, we also have great military exploits - our people can also get a lot of confidential information in the Demon Kingdom, so it is called Generals and soldiers suffered fewer casualties."
"General Li, think about it, if the meeting is really full of scum like me, how can the people join the meeting enthusiastically? The authorities are obsessed with one thing, but the people in the world can see it most clearly and know the good and the bad best. General Li wants to do it because of his heart It is unpleasant to deal with such a being, are you good or evil?"
"In the final analysis, it's just because I am a wicked person and I did some evil things with the help of my association's power. Just like Sui Yilian was a wicked person and he did evil things with the help of the Sui government. But you can do evil things because of him alone, Just conclude that all officials in the Sui Kingdom should be killed, and would it be better to govern the country without them?"
He added: "General, you need to know that that person has greater influence and higher status in the meeting than me. Even if the general wants to explain the facts, no one will believe it. What's more, you are the successor of Beichen , do you want to tell them why I am forcing you so hard?"
After hearing what he said, Li Bochen felt his teeth itching and wished he could cut him in two right away. But then I thought about it, this person is such a rogue and a bastard, maybe he is out of his mind and planning to cause chaos for himself. He calmed down and said, "Okay, Ye Lu, what exactly do you want me to do?"
Ye Lu let out a long sigh: "General Li, you finally asked this question. In fact, what we want you to do is a good thing - it can also turn a bad person like me into a good person."
"——Succeed Li Guozhengshuo and restore thousands of miles of rivers and mountains."
Li Beichen waited for him to say something ridiculous, but immediately spat at him. But after hearing these words, he was stunned. After a while, he asked: "What do you mean?"
He frowned again: "You want me to be another Linxi Lord? Aren't you working for Emperor Gao?"
Ye Lu turned his head and looked at Lin Qiao, who was huddled in the corner of the room, and suddenly raised his hand. A faint puff of smoke immediately emitted from the wooden wall behind her. As soon as she inhaled, her body softened and she fainted.
"General, don't worry, it's just smoke." Ye Lu straightened up and said seriously, "It's best for you and me to know what I'm going to say next."
"We are working for the emperor. When General Li came to Li Kingdom, he should have seen it. More than ten years of war have passed, but the territory is still desolate. Big cities like Sanguan are better. Going further north, except for Linxi Outside the areas under your control, bandits are almost everywhere, people are in dire straits, and people are living a very miserable life."
This person was a rogue and a bastard before, but now he has a face that worries about the world. Li Bochen felt it was extremely ironic and couldn't help but sneer: "You also care about this?"
Ye Lu smiled: "Maybe I don't care, but the emperor does. Speaking of which, the reason why Li Jing is like this is because the people are old-fashioned and the customs are strong, and people are disobedient to discipline. Although the five countries sent officials to take care of it, they are not popular among the people. There’s no way to start doing things.”
"At other times, they would have endured for dozens or even hundreds of years, and they would probably have digested it. But now that the demonic army is moving south, once the Sui realm cannot support it, they will bypass the natural barrier between the Sui and Li realms and invade the Li realm. Once there, At that time, Li Jing was in disarray, didn’t it mean that it had provided the Demon Army with a land of salt and iron in vain?”
"Therefore, the Li Jing matter must have an outcome as soon as possible."
Li Bochen didn't know whether what he said now was true or false, but it was indeed far beyond his expectation. Then he said in a deep voice: "It was Emperor Gao who led the four kingdoms to attack Li in the beginning. Is it still difficult for Li to recover now? At worst, he can ask the officials of the five kingdoms to withdraw - isn't Linxi Jun already a leader? That's it. Call him King Li, why bother looking for me?"
Ye Lu said: "General Li thinks things simply. Li Shengyi is not a descendant of Beichen and cannot bear this responsibility."
"When it comes to the common people of Li State, even the wealthy people, he may have the means to subjugate them. But people are easy to deal with. What about the spiritual gods in the territory? When they attacked Li, the Li royal family resisted desperately and even ordered some living spiritual gods to go to the battlefield. There were many casualties. Huge. After the fall of the country, some spiritual gods were killed by practitioners and their luck was taken away."
"Even if Li Shengyi unified the Li Kingdom, he was not a lucky person. Even with the treasure of Beichen, he could not canonize the earthly gods again. In this way, if the gods and ghosts do not obey the orders of restraint, how can there be peace in the world? Besides, What if the demonic army breaks into Li Realm in the future and he cannot mobilize those spiritual gods?"
Li Bochen's heart skipped a beat and he thought to himself, what this man said was indeed what he had thought about in recent days. Mr. Linxi has no luck, if it is true——
But he came to his senses immediately and said in a deep voice: "Ye Lu, I'm afraid it's not just these high-sounding reasons."
"If you can't use Lord Linxi just because he has no luck - you can send experts to kill me. Once I die, luck will naturally fall on Lord Linxi. He already has some foundations, wouldn't he be better than How much easier would it be for me to start from scratch?”
He thought again and sneered: "I know. If I agree to this, the emperor will support me and be kind to me. In the future, I am afraid that the Li Kingdom will no longer exist and will become the territory of the emperor." . That’s probably why Lord Linxi doesn’t go with you.”
Ye Lu smiled and was about to speak when Li Bochen said again: "As for why you found me, I guess it's because I was born in the Sui Kingdom. You think I have no sense of identity with the old land of Li State, let alone whether there is another Li State." This is about it, right?”
Ye Lu said: "General Li is a smart man, so I won't say more. General, I threatened you with my mortal life just now. No matter how disgusted you are, you should know that there are many things that I and Kong Minghui can do. If the general agrees to this, those things will disappear - I will change from a bad person to a good person assisting you."
"Both I and I will be just a sword. The general holds it in his hand and can use it to do good, not evil."
Li Bochen was silent for a moment and said: "Then the other one left here first and went to find the Chang family. If I don't agree, will you kill them for me?"
Ye Lu just said: "I don't want to have that result."
Li Bochen stood quietly for a moment, then walked to Lin Qiao and checked her breathing to confirm that nothing was wrong. Then he sat down on the embroidery bench beside him, leaning on his knife.
He looked at the funny-looking Ye Lu again and asked himself a few questions.
Why do soldiers first and then etiquette? It should be because when he was in the Sui Dynasty, he didn't know that he was a descendant of Beichen, so he had already turned against him. Since it left a bad impression on myself, I could only use this method to shock myself. Having demonstrated their power and influence, let’s get down to business.
If you are doing business, this is very unwise. But what Ye Lu said was of great concern to the world, and it was such a "big deal" that he didn't care much about the details.
If what he said was true, would he be willing to do that? I do have the world in my heart... It is not the view of the world that a saint is willing to sacrifice himself to fulfill the world, but more like a means to realize his own value. As a descendant of Beichen, he is destined not to be mediocre. If we get help from Emperor Gao, soldiers, horses, money and food won't be a problem. Once the troops are raised, the remaining four countries may not be happy, but they will not do harm with open swords and guns like they did with Lord Linxi. Perhaps in a very short period of time, he will become a powerful person.
However, if you do this, you are more likely to become the puppet of Emperor Gao, and you will be controlled by others. I don't like Kong Minghui's method of doing things, and by that time, there will be many ruthless people like Ye Lu around me. If you get along with these people, you may feel depressed every day.
At that time, I would still have to fight against Lord Linxi... Li Boxen felt that someone like Lord Linxi would never lead his troops to surrender. If that's really the case, do we have to kill him first? A civil war broke out before the foreign enemies arrived, fearing that the people of Li territory would suffer another catastrophe.
When Li Bochen thought of this, another thought came to his mind - why did Ye Lu believe that he was the descendant of Beichen?
He seemed to have just taken a look at that world through magic. But at that time, and even now, I felt a bit like a dream, but was he more certain than me?
Actually there is another problem. I feel that Beichen is dead and no one else seems to know. If he agreed to this, many people might come to him and teach him how to use Beichen's luck. I don't know anything about this. What if those people find out that Beichen is no longer here and that I am the new "Beichen Emperor"... what will happen! ?
Thinking of this, he suddenly felt a chill in his heart, realizing that what Ye Lu threw was probably a scented bait with hidden poison. What I heard now were all his words... Can he be the master of such a big thing as conquering the world? currently? In the embroidery room of a brothel?
This is too childish.
But if he had other hidden thoughts, why?
Li Bochen thought for a moment, but couldn't come up with any results. He couldn't help but turn the knife in his hand - the tip of the knife penetrated the wooden floor, and when he turned it, the board made a crashing sound. The sound was like bells and drums, and he was stunned for a moment, thinking, what was I thinking just now?
How could I really think about whether I should accept the conditions proposed by this person? If I had encountered such a villain in normal times, I would have spoken with the knife in my hand!
As soon as this thought came to his mind, he took a deep breath and sighed, "It's so powerful that I'm not exempt from vulgarity!"
When many people talk about the word "power", they are very disdainful. They feel that they are idle clouds and wild cranes and will never bow to those two words. But now that I think about it, it's just because I'm too far away from "power".
Just like just now, power and power are really in front of you, and you know that you may have the opportunity to get it all... How strong your will and how hard your bones must be to never bow your head, keep your waist straight, and truly be a man who stands upright? !
Li Bochen stood up and said, "Ye Lu."
Ye Lu smiled slightly: "General Li has figured it out?"
"I figured it out." Li Bochen sneered, "Sooner or later I will achieve a great career, but I will not associate with people who are just mediocre!"
