After hearing what he said, the ten generals gritted their teeth and said, "We have deployed troops to Sanguan City to clear out the banditry in the city. We are afraid that they will come here! Qin Le, let me see how arrogant you can be." !”
He said this very forcefully, but while speaking, he slowly backed away. When the last word was spoken, he immediately waved his hand and said, "Let's go!"
It was as if he was afraid that Qin Le would really trouble him if he said harsh words. As soon as he waved his hand, the soldiers behind him immediately turned around and ran up the mountain. Li Bochen was stunned - are these officers and soldiers so afraid of these Linxi troops?
When I was in the Sui Dynasty, I heard that the "Linxi Rebels" had been chased and cornered, but now it seems that is not the case at all!
The Linxi soldiers burst into laughter, and Qin Le turned to look at Li Bochen: "Friend, you haven't answered my question yet."
This man turned out to be a general of the Linxi Army, which was great. But this man looked quite arrogant. Li Bochen didn't want to show weakness in front of Lin Qiao, so he also smiled, turned to the direction of the bandit leader and said loudly: "I said, do you still recognize me?!"
The bandit leader had his face slightly drooped, as if he was about to die. But after hearing Li Boxen's voice, he immediately raised his head as if he was frightened. The two met their eyes, and the bandit leader glared and shouted: "You! I will kill you sooner or later! Avenge your brothers!"
Perhaps knowing that he was about to die gave him strength again. Li Bochen sneered and said, "It's not me who takes their lives, but the Way of Heaven!"
He said this because of his previous experience. If something touched me when I was thinking about whether to kill someone, I wonder if I would gain any more by acting and speaking like this. But disappointingly, I felt nothing.
On the other hand, the Qin general let out a sigh, looked at Li Bochen again, and said, "Did you hurt them before?"
Li Boxen said: "Exactly."
He was about to say a few more words, but Qin Le suddenly raised the halberd and shouted: "Then let's try the truth!"
The halberd came very quickly and swept across his waist, but it used a halberd pole. Even so, if you really succeed, you won't get poked in a few holes, but you will definitely be swept off your horse and thrown into a miserable state.
Li Bochen didn't expect this, but he knew that this person wanted to make a fool of himself on purpose - even if he really wanted to try, he wouldn't use such means. He was furious and raised his hand to grab the halberd pole.
When Qin Le saw him picking it up empty-handed, a smile flashed across his face, as if he felt that he was overestimating his abilities. But in the flash of light and stone, there was only a sound, and Li Bochen actually caught the euphorbia. Qin Le was shocked, and used his other hand to try to swing it to one side, but the halberd seemed to be cast between the two of them, motionless.
Li Bochen felt his strength and knew that although this General Qin could be said to be powerful, he was far inferior to him, and perhaps he was only in the Qi-nurturing realm. At this time, he could retaliate in the same way. He had to retreat slightly, even if he didn't pull Qin Le off his horse, he could still make him stagger.
But the thought was fleeting - he might still have to use this person, and there was no need to hold grudges.
Then he held the halberd pole, looked at Qin Le for two breaths, then suddenly let go and said: "General Qin is really powerful."
Qin Le should also be able to tell that he didn't mean what he said. His face turned red, he glanced at the silent soldiers not far away, and said with a forced smile: "That's ridiculous. Brother, you have the divine power."
He put away his halberd, coughed and said: "You do have this ability - just now you said that it was the way of heaven that took their lives? Haha... Where is the way of heaven?"
Probably because he felt that he was asking for trouble and had nothing to say. Li Bochen really didn't know where his hostility towards him came from and why he wanted to make himself look bad. But since this man was using the donkey to get off the slope, he responded casually: "The way of heaven lies in the heart of the people."
Qin Le was stunned for a moment, repeated the words twice, then suddenly smiled and said, "That's so well said."
Li Bochen didn't know what was good about him, but he felt that this man was hot and cold at times, and his temper was really weird. Just as he was thinking about whether to hand the thing over to him, he heard Qin Le say again: "Okay, brother Yunwen Yunwu, Qiao girl is following you, you can be regarded as a beauty matching a hero."
After saying this, he raised his hand and saluted Lin Qiao: "Miss Qiao, we meet again."
Li Bochen was stunned - did this person recognize her? He turned to look at Lin Qiao and saw that she was also a little startled. After a while, he said: "General Qin..."
"I went to the city last month and had Miss Qiao's tea." Qin Le smiled, "I heard a few days ago that Qiao...Miss Lin redeemed herself. It turned out that she met the person she liked."
Li Bochen said nothing. Lin Qiao was stunned and said with a smile: "Oh, General Qin did have two cups of tea last month. But after eating, he said he was busy with military affairs. Forgive me for not remembering it for a moment."
After saying this, he leaned over and patted the horse's head, said a few words to it, and stopped looking at Qin Le.
Qin Le was stunned for a while and had to raise his hand to Lin Qiao again. Li Boxen sighed in his heart. Did Qin Le mean to embarrass himself by saying these words? It's true. I've let him go once before, but I have to teach him a lesson this time.
But when he looked at Qin Le, he had a look of despair on his face, which seemed to be unintentional. Li Boxen felt bored and was about to say goodbye when he heard Qin Le whisper: "Brother, what is your surname?"
"Li Bochen." He said this and made up his mind that if this person dared to say nonsense like "Can you give Miss Lin to me?", he would immediately draw his sword.
Qin Le didn't want to think about it but said: "Brother Li is really lucky."
After saying this, he seemed to notice that Li Bochen had a bad look on his face. He was stunned for a moment, then he hurriedly cupped his hands and bowed his head in salute, saying: "Brother Li, don't blame me, I didn't mean it. I...well, I don't know how to offend you with this mouth." how many people."
When he said these words, the soldiers not far away began to whisper. Qin Le looked over there, raised his eyebrows, and shouted: "What are you doing standing there in a daze!? Why don't you take us up the mountain!?"
The soldiers burst into laughter, picked up the bandit leader, and hurried away.
The salute he just performed seemed sincere, and the soldiers were not afraid of him. It seemed that the soldiers and generals got along well with each other... Such a person should not be too bad. Even so, Li Bochen still felt a little unhappy, so he just said lightly: "No need to mention it. Farewell."
As soon as he spurred his horse, he was about to leave. But Qin Le immediately followed him on horseback, walking side by side with him, and said: "Brother Li is angry? I'm really sorry... Miss Lin and I really have nothing to do. I am in the army, and drinking tea is already a break from my busy schedule, so how can I dare to ——”
At this point, Busan shut up again and said: "Forget it, I won't say anything anymore."
Li Bochen sighed in his heart. Seen in this way, this person may be really carefree by nature, but what he said is indeed unpleasant. Because of his previous experiences, he cared less about Lin Qiao's background than people in this world. But I don't care much, but I don't care at all. After hearing what Qin Le said, he suddenly felt that her weight in his heart had become lighter.
He couldn't help but glance at Lin Qiao, who was lagging behind slightly, and saw that her face was downcast, and her expression seemed a little gloomy. She should have guessed what she was thinking, right? But I really can't blame her for these things...
He felt a slight pain in his heart and said seriously: "General Qin, Miss Lin's fate was unpredictable in the past. But now she and I are separated by a lifetime. No matter what others think or say, I just pretended that I had never heard of it, and asked the general not to mention it again."
But after saying the next few words, he couldn't help but ask in his heart, can I really do it?
Thinking of this, he glanced at Lin Qiao again. Seeing her sitting on the horse in a daze, there seemed to be some water in her eyes.
After a while, Qin Le sighed and said seriously: "Brother Li, you are a man, I admire you."
Then he took off a badge from his waist and handed it over: "This is my badge. You have made great achievements in suppressing bandits, but I can't reward you here. Where are you going? If you go to the territory of our Linxi Army, with my badge Go to the government and receive the reward."
Li Boxen originally planned to leave alone, but after hearing what Qin Le said, he felt a little hesitant. This person may have made him unhappy, and his behavior was a little frivolous, but his ability to kill the two bandit leaders must be extraordinary. No matter what his intentions were when he said those words before, he was able to apologize repeatedly later, and now he wants to give himself this brand, which shows that he is also a person who distinguishes between public and private matters.
He thought about it again, and finally said: "Eradicating evil is a matter within my generation. General Qin, I do have one thing."
As he spoke, he took the bag from the horse's side and whispered, "Please take a look at this."
Qin Le was stunned for a moment, took back the waist card, and reached out to take it after a moment's hesitation. But when I opened it, I still held it far away, which showed that I was not totally defenseless. Unlock the outer layer, then peel off the wood chips on it, and see the mass of meat inside.
He frowned: "What is this?"
Li Boxen whispered: "There is a manor more than ten miles away, and the bandit leaders who attacked Sanguan City are there. I passed by before, killed and went in, and saw a man named Zhu Yi."
Qin Le was shocked: "Zhu Yi? Have you caught him?"
"Do you know this guy?"
"Of course I know." Qin Le said solemnly, "His father is Zhu Hou, and now there is some climate in Fengzhou. I heard that Zhu Yi is coming to my side, and I have been setting up traps to get him - people Did you catch it?"
Li Boxen said: "I intercepted him in the middle when we were in Sanguan City."
Qin Le couldn't help but let out a sigh, and looked at him with more surprise in his eyes. Li Bochen felt a little proud, thinking that Zhu Hou was more difficult to deal with than he had heard before. Qin Le said he wanted to capture Zhu Yi, so he must have known that he had a group of guards around him. He was able to kill him in the group of guards, so it was no wonder he reacted this way.
He then added: "I beheaded him in the city, but in that manor, he lived again."
Qin Le was surprised again, but before Li Boxen could speak, he had already looked at the meat in the brick box: "Because of this?"
This man is quite smart. Li Bochen nodded and said, "Yes. When we were in the manor, he turned into a monster because of this. I killed him again. After he died, this piece of meat crawled out of his head."
Then he said: "I suspect that this thing has something to do with the Demon Kingdom. The person who gave Zhu Yi this thing should be someone from the Kongming Society."
Qin Le's expression became solemn, he reined in his horse, thought carefully for a while, and said, "How do you know this?"
Li Bochen smiled: "I came from the Sui Dynasty. When I was in Zhangcheng there, I dealt with a leader of Kongminghui. That person used the secret method obtained from the Demon Kingdom to revive the local governor's son. ”
Qin Le opened his mouth, looked at Li Bochen again, and suddenly said: "Li Bochen...are you that Li Bochen!?"
Li Bochen smiled again, but knowingly asked, "Which Li Bochen?"
Qin Le's expression changed. After thinking for a while, he jumped off his horse and gave a solemn salute: "It turns out it's really you. I offended you so much just now. It's really undeserved. General Li, accept my bow!"
After he said this, he was so short that he had to salute. Li Bochen was startled and quickly jumped off his horse to support him and said: "General Qin, what are you doing!"
He added: "I can't afford your gift. Speaking of which, I used to be a Sui soldier."
Qin Le smiled bitterly: "What's the difference between these? Alas, Linxi Army, Li Army, Sui Army - I heard that General Li killed people from the Demon Kingdom in Wuliang City in Beiyuan. When he arrived in Zhangcheng again, he saw the local The Wang surname is so domineering that he takes action to punish the evildoers. Although General Li is a member of the Sui army, he is a hatred of the country and the family... It is really inappropriate to mention it in the face of the common struggle against the evil country."
"With these soldiers under my command, I am worried about the war against the Demon Kingdom every day, but I have nowhere to use my strength. I can only kill my fellow soldiers and catch the thieves... Alas!"
Li Bochen was surprised at first and wondered, had his affairs in Zhangcheng been spread like this? He took action to kill Sui Yilian and his son, not because of any "killing evil", but because he had no choice but to save others and protect himself. But with such a rumor, I am afraid that I will be a big rebel in the Sui Kingdom. However, maybe people here in the old land of Li State came up with this saying that "the generals of the Sui army eliminate evil with great justice" in order to boost the morale of the people.
But no matter what, he asked knowingly just now to "retaliate" for Qin Le's previous remarks that made him unhappy. Now that I see him like this, I know that this person is also true-hearted, and the unhappiness has finally disappeared. He said, "General Qin, don't think so. If the war there is really unfavorable, it will soon be your turn to defend the country."
Qin Le smiled bitterly: "I hope... Bah! It's better not to."
Li Bochen also laughed: "Then please report this matter - I don't trust the government in Sanguan City, so I want to find someone from the Linxi Army."
When he said this, Qin Le seemed to feel even more guilty and was about to apologize again. Li Bochen couldn't stand him being like this, and he missed his arrogance not long ago. He said hurriedly: "General Qin, I still have something to do. I leave this matter to you. I'm leaving."
Qin Le immediately said: "Wait a minute, what do you want? Can I help?"
Li Bochen hesitated for a moment and said, "I want to find the Chang family. They are the former young ministers of Taichang Temple."
"What does General Li want from them?"
Li Bochen thought for a while and then said Hu: "There is a friend in Wuliang Army who died in the battle in Beiyuan. He is some kind of relative of the Chang family. He has no other relatives. I want to give the relics to the Chang family."
Qin Le sighed: "General Li is very righteous. But finding the Chang family... I'm afraid it won't be easy."
