But after he hesitated for a moment, Fang Yu got the wrong idea. He gave a light high-five and said, "I knew you were someone who could achieve great things! General Li, you actually came here... I remember when we were in Zhangcheng You have had contact with people from the Linxi Army - are you also from the Linxi Army now? Is Lord Linxi trying to kill Zhu Hou!?"
Li Bochen's heart skipped a beat, secretly thinking that he might be able to find out the news about Zhu Hou through Fang Cheng. But then he thought that Fang Cheng was kind to him, and he had an old mother to support. It would be unbecoming of a gentleman to deceive him like this.
He sighed and said: "I——"
As soon as he said this word, the door curtain was suddenly opened, and shopkeeper Sun walked in with a spring breeze on his face and said: "General Li, treasure, really a treasure!"
The two of them sat up straight, and Fang Yu immediately smiled and said: "General Li's action will naturally not be for common things - how much is the shopkeeper's worth?"
Shopkeeper Sun walked to sit next to Li Boxen, smiled and held up three fingers. Fang Cheng frowned and said, "Three thousand dollars? This is too little."
Shopkeeper Sun smiled and said: "What I can get here for the time being is three thousand. But don't worry, I will raise some more and there will be another three thousand."
Fang Cheng thought for a moment and said, "Oh... the shopkeeper just wants to--"
Shopkeeper Sun just smiled and looked at Li Bochen: "General Li, it will take some time to get cash from the counter. I guess the general is in a hurry, so he wants to sell this treasure. Since he is an old acquaintance of Mr. Fang, I’ll make an exception and advance the money first.”
Having said that, he took out three silver collars from his sleeves and put them on the table: "If you think the price is not suitable, you can still negotiate."
Fang Yu winked at Li Bochen. Li Boxen thought for a moment and understood immediately.
Shopkeeper Sun actually wants to buy it himself, right? It's better to get it and offer it to Zhu Hou yourself than to offer it in the name of the shop. If he really had such thoughts, he wouldn't have revealed too much if he went to see the master just now. That would be great.
He smiled and said, "The price is fair."
Shopkeeper Sun stood up immediately and said, "General Li, it's really a pleasure! General, sit down and wait a moment, I'll raise another three thousand!"
Fang Chu winked at Li Boxen again, stood up and said, "Shopkeeper, let's take a step to talk."
Shopkeeper Sun was stunned, looked at Li Boxen and said, "Okay."
The two of them walked to the door. Fang Hao whispered something to shopkeeper Sun, who nodded. Fang Cheng said again: "A Ming, you are coming too."
The guy followed and the three of them walked out the door.
Li Bochen frowned, wondering what Fang Yu was going to do? He shouldn't do one thing to his face and another behind his back, right? If that's the case, there's no need to be so verbose about myself just now. He might be planning to make up some excuse to tell shopkeeper Sun and his waiters not to tell anyone about his coming here.
But to be honest, this is still not safe. There is no airtight wall in the world. If the two of them spill the beans, they may get into trouble.
But it was only because I was not lucky enough that I bumped into the den of thieves.
He sighed, put away the three silver collars on the table, and comforted himself: Shopkeeper Sun is so sophisticated that he should be very strict with his mouth. That guy handled things appropriately when he was outside just now, so he shouldn't be ignorant of the importance. After a few days, I gradually forgot about this matter, and maybe it was really okay.
So, we sat there for a while. He thought that Fang Yu would come back soon after giving his explanation, but after waiting for a while, he still didn't see anyone else. Li Bochen had a bad premonition in his heart. He stood up and walked to the door, opened the curtain and looked outside. He saw no one in the hall.
He thought for a while, walked to the door and sat down, and the Yin spirit came out of his body and passed through the wall.
Separated by a wall was the backyard. Seeing two men talking in the courtyard, he stood down and listened. One person said: "...at his age, what's so good about him? Can General Zhu give him some official title? He's so vain that he gets angry just by looking at him."
Another person said: "Hey, so what if it's sealed? Who knows how long that organ can last?"
This should be the "master" that shopkeeper Sun calls him, right? Listening to what they said, the shopkeeper really didn't mention himself much. Li Bochen felt a little relieved and was about to explore the houses in the backyard when he suddenly heard footsteps in his physical body. He hurriedly came back and saw Fang Yu.
Fang Cheng opened the curtain and walked into the room. Li Bochen stood up and said, "Go and talk to them -"
At this point, I suddenly felt something was wrong - Fang Yu had the smell of blood on his body.
Li Bochen was stunned for a moment, and then he saw Fang Yu's face solemn, and whispered: "General Li, the food has been taken care of. Don't worry, no one will tell anything about you again."
Li Bochen reacted for a while, then suddenly felt a surge of blood and said, "You killed them!?"
Fang Ye nodded: "The body is in my room. I am the market master here, and ordinary people dare not enter my house."
Then he said: "That shopkeeper Sun didn't tell the master who brought the treasure. Only he and the clerk know about you. Shopkeeper Sun is keen on climbing the ladder and has never been popular. The clerk is also lazy and talks every day. I hope to get a windfall. I am very particular when I execute the knife. At night, I throw the body outside the city and put a knife in the hands of the clerk. When others see it, it is natural that the clerk is interested in the treasure. No one will kill you or me. I think. It’s just that your precious wood needs to stay there as evidence.”
But how could Li Bochen have the heart to listen to what he said? This person was chatting and laughing with shopkeeper Sun and the waiter just now, but he turned around and attacked! Even though those two people knew something they "shouldn't" know, what did they do wrong? ! Why is Fang Cheng's heart so poisonous! ?
He was furious, pulled out the magic knife with a clang, pressed it on his neck, and shouted: "You!!"
Fang Yu was stunned for a moment, as if he was shocked. But after a while, he suddenly smiled: "General Li, do you think I am too cruel?"
Li Bochen also laughed angrily and said, "What do you think!?"
Fang Bao sighed and said seriously: "I think? I think if they know that you are the one who killed Zhu Yi, they will tell Zhu Hou immediately. By then, I am afraid that the general will not be able to accomplish his important task. "
After a pause, he added: "I'm afraid it's hard for me to survive, and it's hard for my mother to survive. General Li, it's not for me to say this. You should know better than me - those who achieve great things don't stick to trivial matters. Kill decisively. When you were in Zhangcheng, you went to save the Tao family. How heroic you were. At that time, you told me the truth in a few days and asked me to do things for you. How decisive you were!"
Li Bochen gritted his teeth and stared at him for a while, and finally sighed heavily in his heart.
Don’t you know? When he was in Zhangcheng, Fang Bu was able to turn his back on Sui Ziang and help him, which shows that he is a gambler who is good at taking risks. This person is extremely "motivated" and is good at seizing every opportunity he can. Does he really think that he is working for Lord Linxi? So now he wants to climb on his own ship and make a better future?
But how did he get to where he is today? It's all because of myself. When we were in Zhangcheng, we knew he was such a person, but we still used him. In terms of spiritual practice, the death of those two people is inseparable from himself - this is the causal effect!
Kill him at this time... I am really being a bitch again and setting up a memorial arch again!
He gritted his teeth and pulled the knife away suddenly, saying: "You are wrong. I am not doing anything for Mr. Linxi. I'm afraid you won't get any benefits from doing this!"
Fang Yu was stunned for a moment, but then smiled and took two steps back. Li Bochen thought he was leaving, but Fang Yu suddenly knelt down and said: "General Li, if you think that Fang is doing it all for himself, you are wrong. Although I am a villain in your eyes, I still understand. Repay a favor. My mother's life was given by you. It is also because of your kindness that I can no longer be regarded as a dog."
"You are the one who gave me the practice method, and you are my master. My skills come from you. If you think I am not worthy of living in this world, just kill me."
Li Bochen sighed, took two steps back, and slowly returned the knife to its sheath. Without looking at Fang Bao, he took out the three silver collars from his arms and threw them in front of him, saying: "I am not qualified to kill you. I can't take this money anymore. If you really feel that I am kind to you, give the money back." Give it to Shopkeeper Sun’s family.”
He turned around and walked out, but when he opened the curtain, he couldn't help but said: "Fang Yu, what does it mean to kill decisively? Gangsters kill people for money without blinking an eye, are they also decisive in killing?"
Fang Yu didn't say anything, he strode out the door.
He took the horse and galloped for a while, blending into the crowd. The sun was shining brightly on the zenith, and it was almost noon. His stomach growled but he had no appetite at all. After walking for a while, he let out a long sigh and said in his heart, Fang Cheng. well.
If I were to replace myself today with Li Ding or Sui Wu Jiu, they would probably praise Fang Tao very much. In fact, most "heroes" in this world would be like this. Is it that I have a problem, or does someone else have a problem? If what Fang Cheng said was true, he would probably feel aggrieved now.
Killing those two people was indeed very safe, but he really couldn't accept the idea of taking the lives of two innocent people just because "the news might leak out." Last night I told Xiaoman that I didn't know how to boss people around, and now I see it's true. If you really want to become a person like Lord Linxi... Fang Cheng, will you be rewarded or punished?
How about becoming the Beichen Emperor? The Beichen Emperor rewards the good and punishes the evil, so he should be punished naturally. But I am not yet.
If you really want to become such a supreme master, you still have a long, long way to go. But before that? I don’t know how many decisions I have to make against my will.
He walked slowly, and for a moment he had no intention of looking for money anywhere. After walking for a while, I heard the bustle of people in front of me and saw many people gathered in front of a tea shop. Then I heard someone say loudly: "...This is exactly what happened. In Linxi County, the flute sounds old and the heroes fall into flying feathers!"
These are two lines of setting poems. This is someone telling a story. Li Bochen had no intention of listening to this, but the word "hero" touched his emotions, and his steps slowed down. At this time, someone shouted: "Mr. Zheng, instead of telling these old stories, let's talk about Lord Linxi!"
Someone echoed: "Yes! Let's talk about Linxi Lord Li Shengyi!"
Li Bochen was stunned. Did Linxi Jun's name be Li Shengyi? This was the first time he knew. He thought for a moment, led the horse to the side of the road, and stood against it. He was very upset and thought that he might as well listen to the story of that Linxi Lord. In the hearts of these people, what kind of person is Lord Linxi? Has this ever happened to him?
The storyteller Mr. Zheng who was surrounded was dignified in appearance, wearing a green shirt and holding a goose feather fan. He pressed the fan with his fan and said with a smile: "Linxijun? Haha, I said the day before yesterday that Linxijun was just invited to the Yamen and imprisoned. How can I dare to say it again? Besides, I'm afraid I won't even be able to eat!"
People laughed, heard a jingling sound, and threw money into the small basket in front of him.
Mr. Zheng then said again: "Thank you, thank you, everyone, then I, Mr. Zheng, am willing to go out of my way to talk about this -"
While he was talking, three police officers walked up the street and squeezed into the crowd. The officer leading the team shouted: "Get out of the way!"
Li Bochen sighed in his heart and thought to himself that he was afraid he wouldn't be able to listen, so he planned to lead his horse away.
At this time, I heard the officer say: "Old Zheng, you are talking so freely here again, do you still want to have tea with me?"
Li Bochen heard the officer speak with a Li Guo accent. At this time, the onlookers around him burst into laughter and seemed not to be very scared. He was stunned for a moment, and then saw three officers sitting down on a bench. The officer said: "Tea! Dried fruit snacks!"
The waiter at the tea shop responded quickly. Mr. Zheng was not very afraid of him and said with a smile: "Boss Xu, if you don't go patrolling the streets, why are you here here?"
Captain Xu spat: "Grandma, you are so stupid! You insisted on me taking you the day before yesterday, so I took you. You were delicious and served, and you were released in a day, right? As a result, there was a firewood pile at home that night. Just give it to others. Damn it, do I want to take you? Why don’t you order it from Fu Yin’s haystack?”
Everyone burst into laughter again. Mr. Zheng cupped his hands and said with a smile: "I can't bear to cause you trouble - what does Captain Xu want to hear?"
The officer said: "Just tell Li Shengyi to beat the Sui dog! Let me vent my anger!"
The people around him cheered loudly and shouted: "Mr. Zheng, come here!"
Li Bochen looked at it in a daze, thinking that he had experienced the folk customs of the north when he was outside Sanguan City. He did not expect that the same was true in Houcheng. No wonder Linxi Lord could become such a popular person.
Then I heard Mr. Zheng say: "Team Leader Xu, if you want to say that it's better to relieve your anger than beating a Sui dog, I have something ready-made here -"
He suddenly leaned forward, and the people around him also leaned forward: "I heard that someone went to assassinate Lord Linxi a few days ago, but was captured alive. In the first trial, it was said that it was because of the emperor's order. The empty congregation!”
"The man said to Lord Linxi that as long as he agrees to split our Li State into a state of Gao State, Emperor Gao will support him in his rightful place! When Lord Linxi heard this, his expression changed and he cursed, "This is my state. How can we give our ancestral land and a thousand-year glorious foundation to others!? He put his two fingers together and shouted again——"
When Li Bochen heard this, his heart skipped a beat!
What Mr. Zheng said is nine times out of ten true! "I promised to dismantle the State of Li and make it a state of the State of Gao, and then help him take his rightful place" - wasn't this exactly what Ye Lu said when he lobbied him! ? There is no way this storyteller could have made these words up out of thin air!
He hurriedly listened carefully, but the storyteller continued to talk vividly about how Lord Linxi angrily rebuked the assassin. The onlookers around him were delighted and cheered, but Li Bochen knew that most of these were just embellished stories. Being so surprised, he couldn't bear to be upset for the time being, and said, it's time to wait... When Mr. Zheng left the show, I'd better ask him how he got the news!
