Perhaps the connection between these people and Ye Lu and Kongminghui is much closer than he originally expected - it can also be regarded as an "unexpected surprise". Li Bochen was worried that he had no clues to pursue it, but now it is coming to his door. .
At this time, the few people who were rushed by the Yin soldiers exclaimed: "This kid is insidious and uses poison!"
Another old man behind him smiled strangely: "Then let him see my poison!"
The old man moved his hands and started walking behind, holding a short dagger in his palm, as if he was always looking for opportunities. After saying this, he suddenly opened his right hand and saw that his palm was filled with black oil, as if the color had seeped into his flesh and blood. He opened and closed his lips to recite a mantra, and a black mist rose from his palm, and he shouted again: "Go!"
The black mist suddenly dissipated and turned into wisps of black wind that bypassed the crowd and hit here.
At this time, Li Bochen was forcing the people in front of him to retreat. When he saw the black wind, he felt a warning in his heart - it is not difficult for a practitioner to hold his breath for more than ten minutes. This black mist can only be effective if it is inhaled into the mouth and nose. I am afraid it will be of little use. nothing. The old man was full of confidence, maybe it would be effective if it was stained with skin and flesh.
The black wind was approaching in an instant. Seeing that the situation was not good, he could fly away, but Lin Qiao was in trouble. At this moment, I suddenly remembered all the wonderful tricks used by these people before - their cultivation level is probably not as good as mine, and they don't have Beichen's luck and divine weapons and armor to help them. If they are to be stopped by these little tricks, How can I be worthy of my own series of adventures? These people are good at the art of transformation, but can’t they themselves?
He immediately recited the incantation and started the "Heavenly Punishment" technique again. Originally, when using this technique, as the mantra was spoken and the spiritual power circulated, one could faintly sense that the power of thunder in the sky was being aroused by him. If he moved his mind again, the thunder would strike down.
He had never thought much about the changes before, but now he was inspired by these people's methods. This time he did not ask the thunder to strike down, but guided his thoughts one step in front of him. The next moment, I really felt the aroused force in front of me, and then I relaxed my mind - I heard a loud bang, and a small electric light the size of a needle tip suddenly exploded, setting off a billowing wave of air. The incoming black wind was blown back by the air wave.
The dozen or so people in front of him were also suddenly lifted five or six steps away. The strange weapons flying in the air were all flying around like dead leaves in the strong wind. There were electric snakes swimming on them, and they stung in an instant. He dropped a step with a clang.
His move was quite similar to the one Wu Changshou used when they first met, so the techniques should be similar. But he transformed it from Beichen's authentic Tianchu technique, and it was much more powerful. Those people fell to the ground and were covered in lightning. Some of them were paralyzed and unable to move for a while.
Li Bochen couldn't help but feel a little proud, and thought to himself, it seems that my understanding is also very good, but I was too lazy to think about it before. While thinking this, he hooked his foot, picked up a gun scattered on the ground and threw it out. It hit the palm of the right hand of the old man who was lying on the ground. He heard him scream and was nailed to the ground.
Only then did these bandit leaders realize that he was really difficult to deal with, and the six or seven people who were still able to move were stunned for a while. Wu Changshou seemed to be quite knowledgeable, and he stared at him and said: "You are... yes, you were punished by heaven before. The art! Your surname is Li!?"
As soon as these words came out, the expressions of several people around him changed. Ye Zhongshan in the distance couldn't hear what they were saying, but seeing that the bandits seemed to have lost their courage due to him, he shouted: "What are you doing standing still!? Come on!"
After hearing what he said, Wu Changshou's face darkened, but he ignored it and said to Li Boxen: "We don't know each other without fighting... Since you are a noble man, it means that the brothers are ignorant. Let's step away now, that Zhu Yi here you are."
He added: "We didn't tell those two dog slaves what happened in the city. They only knew that a noble man had his young master beheaded... and they would certainly not be able to guess the noble man's identity..."
He called him "noble man", held his sword in front of him, and slowly backed away. Li Bochen guessed that the "noble people" he was talking about were those who had practiced in temples before the fall of Li Kingdom. He also said that his surname was "Li" - no matter how smart this person was, he would never have thought that this Li was the king's surname. Maybe he thought he was a descendant of an official or aristocrat.
If he really had that kind of life experience, he might be worried about Lin Qiao, so he would let them go and settle the score later. The truth was much more "scary" than he thought. Now that these people have this idea... no one can leave.
But he only vibrated the magic knife and said: "Oh? You have some eyesight. How did you see it?"
After hearing what he said, Wu Changshou seemed to feel a little relieved, and said: "In Li Di, he is good at temple arts and is not afraid of Zhu Hou's reputation... Naturally, he is not someone we can offend."
It was more or less what he had guessed - when he was in the city, he fought his way out, and the leaders of the Green Forest Alliance of the Eastern Four States didn't react at all to what Zhuangzi heard here... Of course they would think so. It's just that he didn't expect that he didn't know who Zhu Hou was at all.
He smiled and said: "Leave Zhu Yi to me? Aren't you afraid that the alliance leader will cause trouble for you? There are only a few of you in this village? Your people are still in Sanguan City? Why don't good bandits do this? Want to rob the city?"
At this time, Ye Zhongshan in the distance didn't know what they were talking about, and he looked hesitant. Wu Changshou turned to look at him, and saw Li Bochen taking a step sideways, as if he was planning to take action again, so he gritted his teeth and said: "We followed Zhu Houqian to gain wealth - he will give it to Dongsizhou Lin tomorrow when he is free. As the leader of the Western Rebel Army, he naturally responds to everything he does... But the eldest son's two dog minions are really bullying others. We, a group of old brothers, used to not care about them because of Zhu Hou's face, but now..."
At this point, he was shocked again and said: "You... are you from Lord Linxi!?"
This Wu Changshou's brain is really lively, but he thinks too much.
Li Bochen only smiled faintly and said: "You are smart. Let me ask you again, how come you rabble-rousers have the courage to attack the city? Did Ye Lu ask you to do this?"
Seeing that Wu Changshou was stunned after hearing his words, he described Ye Lu's appearance. As expected, Wu Changshou said: "...you even know this? Well, this...general, since you are Linxijun's man, there is no need to take action anymore. That's what happened - Zhu Hou said that he came out of nowhere Minghui got news that the emperor's attack on Li was not his original intention... but was coerced by the remaining four princes. Now the emperor is also being held hostage by villains, and wants to restore the old land of Li to help him fight against the traitors, so he sends Kongminghui to Li Guo is moving around, looking for capable people with lofty ideals to join him in this great cause."
"Zhu Hou was lucky and was appointed a big leader... We people thought that we could not only restore the country but also make a fortune, why not? Zhu Hou's hometown is in the Sanguan area... Although he I went to Fengzhou to establish a foundation, but it can be said that I have to defend the land of Longxing... so I sent Zhu Yi to my hometown."
"As for this time...it's also someone from Kongminghui - that's Ye Lu - who said that the emperor is interested in helping us, and has mobilized all the troops stationed nearby, and asked us to take advantage of the situation to attack the city... How long have we waited? God, I found out that the town army had indeed been transferred away, so——"
So that's what happened. After hearing his words, Li Bochen suddenly understood what Ye Lu's intentions were. It's just that although Wu Changshou has a lively mind, he is probably just a little clever because he has too little experience.
The words about the emperor being coerced by traitors and the emperor helping him are all like the stories told by Jianghu storytellers, such as "the emperor of heaven uses a golden dung spoon to scoop out dung". The town army near Sanguan City was indeed transferred away, probably because of the tight war situation in the Northern Sui Dynasty.
The Sui State could not draw out men, and the remaining four kingdoms all wanted to protect themselves, so they could only draw men from Li Kingdom.
But in this case, Li Jing's defense would be empty, and Linxi Lord might become powerful... So Ye Lu wanted to "do something big" for himself, right? It turned out that it was just to make the Li Kingdom more chaotic and contain the power of Lord Linxi. And now it seems that regardless of whether they agree or not, they are already instigating thieves everywhere.
Let these thieves form a "Linxi Rebel Army"... It may be difficult for ordinary people to distinguish the difference between the "Linxi Army" and the "Linxi Rebel Army". If these bandits burn, kill and loot like they did in Sanguan City, I am afraid that even Linxi Jun's good reputation in the Linxi area will be ruined.
This plan is really vicious... But, do these people only have the word power in their eyes, but not the word personal?
Doing so can indeed divide the resistance forces in Li Guo's old land, but I'm afraid it's the ordinary people who will suffer the most. Li Bochen sighed in his heart and thought to himself, if you want to turn people into monsters, it seems that you don't need the flesh and blood of monsters, and the word "power" is also fine!
He interrupted Wu Changshou: "So, I killed Zhu Yi in the city, and you leaders quickly sent him to Zhuangzi for treatment? Are you the only ones here?"
Wu Changshou said: "I originally planned to withdraw tomorrow, but my brothers have risen. I am afraid that we will not be able to withdraw today...General, we don't want to follow Zhu Houqian. Otherwise, we will go to surrender with you." Xijun?"
It was indeed a ragtag group of people. Li Boxen smiled and said, "Then call that person over first."
While they were talking, Ye Zhongshan in the distance seemed to realize that something was wrong, so he stepped back.
After Wu Changshou heard what he said, he sneered and said, "That's fine. Capturing those two dog slaves and Zhu Yi together is exactly what we wanted!"
After saying that, he turned his face and opened his mouth to greet Ye Zhongshan. But suddenly he paused again, turned his face back to look at Li Bochen, and said with a smile: "General Li, you are young and promising, why not..."
Just saying this, he suddenly opened his hands, and with a bang, a wave of air exploded in front of him, and he flew towards the outside of the courtyard wall.
He suddenly made such a move, Li Bochen and several people around him were stunned. But the next moment, Li Bochen realized that this man must have felt something was wrong - these thieves were experienced and experienced in licking blood with their blades. They may be as naive as a child when it comes to military affairs, but when it comes to human scheming, they are smarter than a fox. .
He didn't bother to think about what made him feel something was wrong. He waved the knife and wanted to leave this person behind.
But a long knife flew out from behind him, and Wu Changshou jumped up, almost facing the head of the knife - he was immediately penetrated through the chest and fell to the ground.
Li Bochen was stunned, and turned to look behind him - Lin Qiao's face turned pale, and she held an empty scabbard in her hand. She looked at him and then said: "I...I...I just thought that he might..."
