As the two walked through the meadow, Sui Buxiu's face looked ugly. The weather is not hot now, but he is sweating profusely. He shakes his hands from time to time, and his palms are full of sweat, as if he has just been soaked in water.
Li Bochen knew that he was secretly using his true energy to force out the alcohol.
He had tried doing this before, but at the same time, more water was forced out, and after a while his mouth felt dry and extremely uncomfortable.
After a while, Sui Buxiu seemed to wake up a little, and then he said: "I heard that you are planning to build a stockade. Are you going to the north to see the wood in the mountains?"
Li Boxen said: "No, I went to the secret realm."
Sui Buxiu said casually: "Oh, what are you doing there?"
Li Boxen said: "I was promoted to Dragon and Tiger there just now."
Sui Buxiu said oh again, still frowning. After he had almost taken three or four steps, he suddenly turned to look at him, his eyes full of surprise: "Are you a dragon and a tiger!?"
Li Bochen smiled: "It's also because I had no one to guide me in my practice in the first few years. Now I have accumulated a lot of experience. Brother Sui, I think about what happened on the snowfield again - the two of us walked in the snow that night, and we were both cold. It is necessary to die, but you are worried that I will harm you, and I am also worried that you will harm me, and no one wants to say rest first."
"Still, I just couldn't bear the cold. I thought, damn it. I heard that this Sui Master is in the Dragon and Tiger realm, and I'm just in the Spiritual Enlightenment realm. If he really wants to kill me, he'll kill him no matter what - but I can't freeze to death first and then tell you that I can't stand it any longer and have to make a fire."
Sui Buxiu was stunned for a moment, then walked a few steps in silence before forcing a smile and saying: "Now that you are also a dragon and tiger, I'm afraid I may not be your opponent."
Li Bochen laughed: "How could we become rivals? From now on, when you are in Houcheng and I am here, we will have to fight against each other in the Demon Kingdom. When the war is over one day, if you want me to drink with you, I will He is truly willing to sacrifice his life to accompany a gentleman."
Sui Buxiu's expression turned gloomy, and Li Bochen stopped speaking. After waiting for a while, Sui Buxiu whispered: "Brother Li, there is something I should tell you."
Li Bochen's heart skipped a beat - was he going to tell him about Yu Wei? At this moment, he suddenly had an idea: If he really told me, I might be able to ignore the past grievances and not pursue anything further.
But Sui Buxiu said: "My father's two thousand people are short of food and clothing. After they come here to take the city, they may ask you for food first. If you can't get it together by then, I'm afraid he won't speak well. At that time Don’t take it personally.”
Li Bochen took two steps in silence, smiled again, looked at him and said, "Okay, Brother Sui - thank you very much."
When the two of them saw the corpse from a distance, Li Boxen raised his hand and pointed, saying, "It's right there."
Sui Bujiu hurriedly took a few more steps to pass him, but Li Bochen did not catch up. He walked quickly to the corpse, glanced at it first, and then bent down and looked at it carefully.
He must be looking for the note. In this way, he would no longer care about any flaws in his arrangement.
When he was two steps away from the body, he saw Sui Bujiu reaching out and touching the body, stood up and said, "It is indeed my feather guard, but who killed him? I looked at the wound, and it looked like it had been scratched by a bird of prey. His stomach was opened...but he is a feathered man!"
The place he explored was the chest and abdomen. Li Bochen walked to the body and saw that half of the note he had placed there was gone.
He whispered: "Maybe it was done by a monster."
Sui Buxiu thought for a moment and sighed: "His name is Bailiu. He has been with his father for several years. He is very loyal. He and I got along well with each other along the way. He didn't expect to die at the hands of a monster. These feathered people left their homeland, but were buried. Not going back, alas."
Li Boxen said: "I heard that Yuren should not be buried like us after death, but should be buried under a tree - he followed the Grand Duke to guard the north during his lifetime, and he might as well be buried in the mountains of the north after his death. Brother Sui, how about that? Just choose a tree in this mountain and tell him to sleep peacefully."
Sui Buxiu was a little surprised when he heard what he said, but after thinking about it, he said: "That's fine. Then..."
Li Boxen said: "I should go with you, but I just got something very important in the secret realm, and I need to go to my grandpa to discuss it. This has been delayed for a while. Brother Sui, then I won't accompany you." You, you have to be careful about monsters."
Sui Buxiu immediately said: "That's fine. I'll bury him and I'll thank you when I get back."
Li Bochen cupped his hands and said, "Then I'll leave first."
He took a few steps and looked back, and saw Sui Bujiu leaning over the grass to pick up something, which should be another half of paper. Then he picked up Yuren's body.
He should have taken the feathered man to the depths of the mountains for burial, and when he was far enough away that the Yin Shen who had left his body could not reach him, he would have thought of a way to send another message.
Sui endlessly. I've given you a chance.
He returned to the village and went straight to Chang's house. Entering the door, he greeted the two stewards who were talking in the courtyard, and then entered the backyard. Normally Chang Xiu would sit in the study, but now he was sitting on a deck chair in the courtyard, seeming to be basking in the sun. Chang Qiuwu was also sitting on a low stool beside him, talking to him, looking very happy.
When they saw Li Boxen, they both stood up and said, "The Lord is here."
Li Bochen returned the gift and was about to speak when he saw both of them staring at him in shock. After waiting for a while, Chang Xiu said: "Bochen, are you..."
Li Bochen had something on his mind and was in a bad mood, so he just forced a smile and said, "I am already a dragon and a tiger."
Both of them had smiles on their faces, and Chang Xiu said: "Okay!"
Then he said: "Bochen, you really surprised me - you won a big victory the day before yesterday, and today you are promoted to Dragon and Tiger - but why didn't you tell me earlier that you wanted to be promoted? We can also protect you!"
The smiles on their faces must be sincere, which made Li Bochen feel better. But he really didn't have the heart to talk about this anymore, so he just said: "Grandpa, after yesterday I realized how busy you are usually, so I don't want to cause trouble - I have another thing to do."
He whispered: "In ten days, Sui Wujiu's people may arrive."
The smiles on their faces disappeared immediately. Chang Xiu was stunned for a moment before saying, "How do you say this? Come on, let's talk in the room."
The three of them walked to the house and sat down, and Li Bochen immediately told what happened before. He added: "Sui Buxiu should think of ways to spread the news now. I don't think he is suspicious yet."
Chang Xiu thought for a moment and said, "Bochen, you did a good job on this."
But he smiled slightly: "Fortunately, we are not completely unprepared. Bochen, I used to be afraid that you would be emotional, so I didn't tell you something. But now that you can hide it from Mr. Sui, it shows that you have some calculations in your heart. Yes, then it’s time for you to know.”
"——The King of Sui has sent experts to Houcheng and is waiting for Duke Chebei."
