Yu Meng finally stopped moving. But he didn't panic. He glanced at Mo Dao and Yao Hou sideways and said with a smile: "Oh, Zhu Hou's men don't like killing people?"
Li Bochen said solemnly: "I said, I am not Zhu Hou's person."
Besides, Yu Meng should be a general of the Sui Kingdom's army. Just over two months ago, the two of them were considered siblings. Now that they are making trouble in the alley, they can be regarded as their own masters, and there is really no life-or-death hatred.
He then added: "And I have to use Brother Yu to get out of the city."
But as he said this, footsteps came from the alley. He glanced and saw that the four people outside heard the sound and came over. He immediately shouted: "Don't tell them to make a sound!"
Yu Mengzhen slowly waved his hand and said, "Since you are not his, why do you have to go back?"
Li Bochen thought to himself that he wanted to kill Yu Meng at this moment, so the four people rushed forward together, and it was okay to take care of them all by himself. But if they saw that the situation was bad and ran away, and called the garrison in the city, they would be in trouble.
He was confident that he would be able to escape. The question was, if there was a killing spree in this city, what would happen in Jinghu Mountain in the future? Is this Yu Meng's technique from Beichen's lineage? But he was working in the Sui Kingdom's town army. There may be many local children in the Houcheng town army. If he kills everyone in the city, he is afraid that he will form a blood feud with the people here... Then he will not be able to keep the inheritance promised to Xiaoman!
He then said: "You insist on keeping me, are you afraid that I will go back and become a bandit? Whether you believe it or not, I am definitely not a villain. Now, Brother Yu, please tell your brothers to disperse and send me out of the city. . Otherwise, no one will be spared by my sword!"
Yu Meng smiled: "I can't do it! I don't care who you are, but since you have such skills, I can never ask you to go back!"
He looked towards the entrance of the alley again and shouted: "Listen, notify the garrison in the city and ask them to surround this place!"
Li Boxen didn't expect that this man was really not afraid of death, and his heart tightened. He didn't know what to do, but he heard a person from the other end of the alley say: "Wait a minute. Yu, you are not afraid of death yourself, even if you are not afraid of the death of your son!? "
Both of them were shocked when they heard this, and both turned to look over - they saw a man holding a three or four-year-old boy in one hand and holding a dagger in the other, standing in the middle of the road.
Li Bochen was stunned and whispered: "Fang Yu!?"
Yu Meng also shouted: "Put A Jiao down!"
It was Fang Cheng. He was about ten steps away from the two of them, and the boy he was holding was motionless, but his face was rosy, and he looked like he was asleep or dazed.
When he saw Li Bochen, he gritted his teeth and said, "Li...Brother Chen, don't blame me."
Then he said to Meng: "Let me ask you, are you afraid that your son will die!?"
Li Bochen sighed in his heart, knowing what Fang Yu meant - he was probably afraid that he would blame him for harming his wife and children.
This method is indeed indiscriminate... But at this time, if Fang Yun hadn't appeared, Yu Meng's people would have called for reinforcements. Li Bochen didn't know for a moment whether to blame him or praise him for a job well done. But in the end he couldn't help but said: "Fang Yu, where are the others?"
Fang Bao was stunned for a moment, then said: "You mean... Oh - surnamed Yu, your wife is fine, she was knocked unconscious by me and fell asleep at home. Just be obedient and your son will be fine too!"
Li Bochen was originally afraid that Fang Yu and Yu Meng's family would be killed. Hearing this, he breathed a sigh of relief.
Yu Meng's expression became extremely strange. After listening to the conversation between the two, he took a closer look at Li Bochen. After thinking for a moment, he gritted his teeth and said to the four people at the entrance of the alley: "You guys, please step back...go to my house first. If you are really okay, just stand by!"
The four people didn't hesitate, they all raised their hands and walked away quickly.
Yu Meng said again: "Have you been staring at me these days!?"
Before Li Bochen opened his mouth, Fang Cheng said: "Brother Chen, surnamed Yu, is upright and aboveboard. I did all this myself! Didn't you hear that he was still afraid that I would harm your wife!?"
Li Bochen sighed in his heart. Fang Yu really had nothing to say to himself. At this point, he really couldn't say anything, so he said: "Brother Fang, come here and hand the child over to me."
Fang Cheng took a few steps this way, then stood down and said, "Brother Chen... often uses extraordinary means. This child... only with him in hand can you and I..."
Li Bochen smiled bitterly and wondered, was he worried that he would give the child back to Yu Meng? At this critical juncture, I would not be so pedantic. He said, "Don't worry, I know."
Fang Bao then slowly walked over, but raised his hand and pressed the short blade against the child's neck.
Li Bochen withdrew the knife, returned the magic knife to its sheath, took the boy over with one hand, and said, "Brother Yu, I'm sorry. But as long as you send us back, I will definitely not hurt him."
Yu Meng took two steps back, looked at Li Boxen, and then at the boy, his eyes twinkling. Li Bochen shook his head: "Don't act rashly. Are you in the dragon-tiger realm? In this realm, if you want to run or shout, there is nothing I can do. But I swear by the name of Beichen, I will not break my promise. Brother Yu, what are you doing again? Why bother forcing each other? Haven't we been in peace and harmony in the past few months?"
Yu Meng gritted his teeth and said: "The past few months? Hehe..."
He said this, but suddenly shut up. Li Boxen could see that he had something to say, but after thinking about it, he didn't ask. He just said: "For the sake of the child, please brother Yu come with us."
After saying this, he raised his hand and placed the little boy on the saddle, holding him gently with one hand. The child is still young, so sleeping on the saddle is more comfortable than being held in the hand. Then he took the horse and said, "Let's go."
But just after taking two steps, he saw a mouse sniffing near the wall not far away, and then said again: "Brother Yu, look at that mouse."
Yu Meng looked over following the sound. Li Bochen shouted "Go" in his heart, and the Yin soldiers pounced on the mouse. The little thing froze immediately and fell to the ground.
He said solemnly: "I have a method of killing people invisible. I can kill anyone within a hundred steps."
Yu Meng gritted his teeth and sneered: "Okay. I understand."
Li Bochen took another step forward. When he turned onto the street, he was still on guard against Yu Meng violently grabbing someone. But it was the move just now that made him feel wary, so Yu Meng just walked away with his hands behind his back, his face ashen. Not only did Li Boxen secretly say that he was lucky - Yu Meng was at a higher level than him, and he should know more spells. But just now, relying on his divine power and divine weapons, he was able to subdue him with just a few moves. Right now, he should feel that he is also in the dragon-tiger realm, right?
As a result, he really didn't dare to act impulsively.
But after walking for a while, he looked at Yu Meng again and felt that this man was a little strange. Many people work as soldiers to earn their living, and even as generals, they feel that doing more is worse than doing less. Since the town army in Houcheng could allow Zhu Hou to live freely in Jinghu Mountain for several months, they didn't want to start a war in the past.
But this Yu Meng seems to hate Zhu Hou deeply. Listening to what he just said, he is determined to level Jinghu Mountain. If he really hated him so much, he would have had the opportunity to assassinate Zhu Hou while he was lurking in the town, right? Why not take action?
At this time, Fang Yu also walked up to him and secretly glanced at his face several times, as if he wanted to speak but didn't dare. Seeing him like this, Li Bochen felt a little uncomfortable, so he said, "Okay, Brother Fang. I still have no qualifications to speak to you about this matter this time. Alas... Are you waiting for me here on purpose for so many days?"
Fang Yu opened his mouth but said nothing.
Li Boxen said: "Oh... is it just a coincidence? What is the situation in Mengjiatun now?"
Fang Yu then lowered his voice and said, "It's very bad. A few days after you left there, people who came to the city from the villages were not allowed to enter and were not allowed to leave. Goods transported to that side of the city were also not allowed. ”
"More than ten days ago, more than a thousand soldiers were deployed in the city to surround Jinghu Mountain and Tunli. I heard that more troops will be sent. Now is the time when there is no response. If the siege continues for a few months, I'm afraid there will be no food. That’s it.”
Li Boxen was stunned and said, "Nothing to eat? There are mountains behind."
There are wild vegetables, fruits, and wild animals on the mountain. Even if the forest is not very lush in early spring, if we stock up on food and survive for a month or two, there won't be any problem.
Fang Chu said: "On the side facing Houcheng, we are surrounded by soldiers from Houcheng. On the other side of Houcheng and the mountain, Xuantu City next to us sent a thousand soldiers to separate them."
Li Bochen frowned and said, "Xuantu City? Why are they targeting such a small village?"
Fang Yu lowered his voice and said, "General Li, have you really not heard anything about it?"
"Chebei Gong's son is in Jinghu Mountain now! We are all here for him!"
The first thought that came to Li Bochen's mind was, could it be that these people mistook him for Sui Bujiu and thought he was in Mengjiatun? But then he thought that such a big thing as mobilizing military power would never be because of unconfirmed news.
He was shocked - Sui Buxiu was really here! ?
Then he thought that the Chang family had suspected that he was Sui Bujie. That day Chang Qiuwu said it was because of the pair of pendants made by the Sui court. But now I think that it is a bit far-fetched to think that I am Sui Buqi just because of that thing, unless...
They had known that Sui Buxiu would come here soon!
Thinking of this, he couldn't help but slow down his steps - the Chang family really planned to form an alliance with Duke Chebei, right? Otherwise, Sui Buxiu should have been handed over long ago.
But if I go back... I still have a debt to settle with Mr. Che Bei!
He just felt angry in his heart, but then he remembered Xiaoman's words - be patient.
Did she also know that Sui Buxiu would come? But even if he doesn't know...should he endure it? After all, Sui Buxiu had wanted to let him go on the snowy field. In Wuliang City, he was also very open to himself. No matter what his reason was at that time, it was always a favor.
He couldn't help but sigh. This is why I didn't want to work for Linxi Jun or anyone else before - once I get involved, I can't even hate to hate, nor can I love to love.
But if I don't do these things, I seem to be even more helpless. After all, there is no such thing as a two-pronged solution in this world.
Then he said: "How did you..."
As he said this, he glanced at Yu Meng again.
Fang Chu said: "This man is the Hundred General of the Houcheng Rangers. I only found out later. He stayed in Mengjiatun for several months and found out all the famous players in the village and the mountains. Fighting. After Zhu Hou died, he was the one who led people to seize them one by one in the city, General Li, I'm afraid he has also targeted you."
I see. Li Bochen thought that Yu Meng was targeting him intentionally, but looking at it this way, he didn't want to let any suspicious person go to Mengjiatun - especially someone as capable as himself.
There were many pedestrians on the street and they were noisy. But Yu Meng could also hear the two talking. But he kept a straight face and said nothing.
Li Bochen thought for a while and realized that Fang Yu still didn't answer his question, so he said, "Then you are staring at him to avenge those people?"
Fang Bao hesitated for a while and said: "I... I thought there might be a shortage of food in the mountains and villages. I used the remaining money to buy some food and wanted to transport it secretly. But there was a military stronghold outside the city and the car couldn't get through. I just thought... Among the generals of the town army, he is the only one whose family is in Houcheng...I..."
Li Bochen didn't know why he hesitated when saying these words. He just thought it was a bit strange that he wanted to send food to Mengjiatun - why should he take such a risk? He even wanted to take advantage of Meng’s family! Is it for yourself? But he already knew he was no longer there.
Just as he was about to ask, he suddenly froze.
Oh... He wasn't doing it for himself, but for Sui Buqiu.
He is indeed willing to take risks and seize an opportunity to make a desperate move. Zhu Hou is dead... He has no support, and he left again, not knowing whether he will come back. He betrayed Sui Yilian, and the Sui government would not tolerate him. If he were an ordinary person, he would probably remain anonymous.
But he was unwilling to sink into the secular world, so he planned to climb up to Sui Bujiu and Che Beigong.
Li Bochen sighed in his heart, really not knowing what to say. Fang Yu is really brave. Duke Chebei has lost power and is in danger, but he dares to risk his wealth and life!
If I had to change my identity with his, I'm afraid Fang Yu would have already become a career. Li Bochen smiled bitterly again. Did he feel sorry for himself? Why bother. In this world, there are some who like peace and joy just like me, while others want to get ahead. It's all personal choice, nothing important.
He then said: "Brother Fang, this is human nature."
Fang Yu opened his mouth, but didn't say anything. Li Bochen thought that he should have some regrets at this time. But I don't think I have any estrangement from him just because of this kind of thing. It's his style and methods of doing things... forget it. I don't have the right to say anything about him right now.
After walking for a while, we passed Qijin Pavilion. Fang Yu looked over there and said, "Oh, what a pity. I have already prepared the food. General Li, it would be great if I could help you take it back with me."
Li Bochen could hear that he meant good things in his words, so he also looked over there. He was distracted and watched as Yu Meng was struggling. It would be impossible to get a convoy to transport food there.
No... maybe it can be taken to that realm. Li Bochen frowned and thought for a while, and thought it was feasible. If you take it over, it will definitely change and you may not be able to eat it, but at least it should have other uses. If you don't bring it and stay here - Yu Meng has already listened to the conversation between the two. When he comes back, the first thing he will do is to take someone to confiscate the food.
He said: "Take me to see it."
