Li Bochen was stunned. Is there anything he couldn't tell him about this before? But he thought for a moment and said, "Grandpa, could it be you..."
Chang Xiu looked at him and said, "Yes."
Were they the ones who conveyed the news to Sui King's people that Sui Wu Jiu was going to take Hou City? No...if that were the case, the Sui King would definitely send a large army to suppress them. Then Sui Wujiu's men would really be wiped out, and there would be no one left to guard the north. It was probably time to deliver some other news and use some other means.
This matter... Li Boxen frowned and thought about it, not knowing how to evaluate it. Based on his temperament when he first left Beiyuan, he would have known that this was to weaken Sui Wujiu's military strength, but he would never agree to it emotionally. As he said before, those soldiers had fought bloody battles with monsters, and he felt really sorry to have them die in vain.
But he had just understood Sui Buxiu's thoughts, and now it was difficult to say "it doesn't seem appropriate". It's not that the ideals in his heart have been shaken, but that he knows that he is not a lonely man who wants to grudges. There are some things he doesn't like, but he is afraid he has to do them for the sake of others.
He was silent for a moment and said, "Okay, I understand."
Chang Qiuwu let out a soft sigh, seemingly relieved. Although Chang Xiu still had a smile on his face after he finished speaking before, the corners of his eyes were trembling slightly at this time. Li Bochen took the two people's reactions into his heart and said in a deep voice: "Grandpa, I have thanked you for all your troubles these days."
After saying this, he stood up and bowed down.
The two of them also stood up. Chang Xiu seemed a little emotional and wanted to say something, but he only said: "Your Majesty, these are all things that should be done."
He grabbed Li Bochen's arms and asked him to sit down again. He thought about it again and sighed: "I didn't know you didn't like this kind of strategy. You have great righteousness in your heart and want to be a virtuous king. This is a good thing. But since ancient times, A wise king must also use thunderous means... This method cannot be used by the king, so he has to use his ministers."
Li Bochen sighed: "Grandpa, I can still distinguish my priorities. But there is no need to hide this kind of thing from me. I don't know whether you used some methods for me or not, but they are all my responsibility."
Chang Xiu shook his arm and said, "Okay."
He sat down again, with a smile on his face, and said: "Come here, tell me about that matter - Bo Chen, you should feel a little happier after hearing this."
Chang Qiuwu said: "Jun Hou, Linxi Jun's people will probably arrive the day after tomorrow."
Li Bochen was stunned and said, "So fast?"
It had only been five days since he returned to Mengjiatun. Linxi Jun was in Linxi, so it was still six or seven days away. Calculating at this time, the person who requested the title should have just arrived. In fact, he didn't even know that the man had already set off, and thought he had to discuss the charter again.
Chang Qiuwu said: "My father has been away all the time, actually..."
When he said this, he glanced at Chang Xiu. Chang Xiu stroked his beard and said, "Now there is nothing that the Lord cannot know."
Chang Qiuwu then said: "My father is out here just to find you. My ancestor didn't ask him to come back after you came here because he felt that we might need to find the real successor of Beichen."
Lady Meng had told him before that there were three people in the Chang family, and Chang Qiuwu's father was Chang Gaoyi, who was traveling far away. But Li Bochen was slightly startled when he heard the words "the real successor of Beichen", and then he reacted and said: "Do you want Li Shengyi to think that luck is not with me either?"
Chang Qiuwu said: "Exactly. But this matter needs to be planned slowly, and we can't rush it for a while - a few days ago, the ancestor used Fei Weng to send a letter to him to ask for the seal, and my father learned about it overnight. After traveling hundreds of miles, the letter was delivered the next day.”
"We also received a reply from Fei Weng this morning, saying that the people sent by Li Shengyi set off the day after he arrived. But my father released four Fei Weng and only one came back, so I don't know the details. But I Seeing how fast Li Shengyi moves, what we want should be accomplished."
Is that this? Grandpa was a scheming man. He had always felt that there would be nothing wrong with the invitation. Now that he knew for sure, he couldn't say he was "happy" at all.
But seeing a smile on Chang Qiuwu's face, he said, "Do you know who is coming?"
Li Bochen thought for a while and said, "Li Ding?"
Chang Qiuwu smiled and said: "It's not him. But they are all your acquaintances - one is General Qin, and the other is Miss Tao."
Li Boxen was stunned: "General Qin? Are you talking about Qin Le?"
Chang Qiuwu was also stunned, and after a while he said: "...Yes."
Seeing him like this, Li Bochen finally couldn't help but smile in his heart. Is it because he asked Qin Le first instead of Tao Chunxi?
He had told the two of them about what happened at Tao Zhai before, and although he did not mention the past with Tao Chunxi, now it seemed that the two of them might have learned something from his words. In fact, he has no special feelings for Miss Tao now. Even without Xiaoman, the two of them were just an impulsive relationship between young men and women.
She was the first beautiful woman he had ever seen, and she could talk often, so he had a vague impression of her in his heart. And what about yourself? Ha... She usually works in Shuxue. She thinks that she is surrounded by "modesty gentlemen" like Sui Yilian. It would be strange to see herself, a reckless man who has returned from the battlefield.
But after being apart for so long, her feelings should have faded. Then why did Lord Linxi send her here? Because she wants an "academic talent" and she has worked in academia? Or should she show her favor to him?
As for Qin Le... This man wanted to report the news about him to Lord Linxi. He looked very happy when they parted, probably because he thought he could be by your side again. Now he is sent here to serve as both a military instructor and an envoy. Does this count as being demoted again?
I don’t know if he said something wrong again or offended someone.
But no matter what, these two people are indeed old acquaintances, and I feel better when I ask them to come.
Li Boxen smiled and said, "It's indeed a good thing. Qin Le...well, I don't hate him."
Seeing a smile on his face, Chang Xiu said: "It's a good thing if you don't hate him. Haha... Okay, okay, let's discuss other things."
Li Boxen said: "Grandpa, I also have something to say - since you want to find the 'real descendant of Beichen', can you ask Gao Yi to let it out and say that he did find that person, but that person is already dead? "
The two of them were stunned for a moment: "What does this mean?"
Li Boxen said: "I may have a way to make Li Shengyi think that he is the successor of Beichen."
Chang Xiu frowned slightly: "Bochen, please tell me in detail."
Li Boxen said solemnly: "After I went to the Jin Realm in the Thunder Cloud Cave Secret Realm today, I wanted to look around, but I accidentally slipped down the cliff and found a grotto halfway up the mountain. When I went in, I saw a cave inside. There are dead bones, and there is a book next to the dead bones, called the Nine Yang Manual, which talks about the art of incarnation of luck."
"I took it and read it again, and those mantras were imprinted on my heart, and I learned them all at once. I originally planned to find out who left the withered bones, but just after I finished learning, the cave suddenly collapsed , and a fire broke out, so I quickly escaped."
"I thought about it carefully later, Grandpa, Fengzhi, do you think it was a miracle given by the emperor? Otherwise, how could I learn it in one go? I found a way from this scripture to make Li Shengyi feel lucky It's with him. Because according to the scripture -"
The two of them had expressions of surprise on their faces as they listened. When Li Bochen mentioned "the miracle given by the emperor" and "learned it in one go", their expressions became solemn. When he was about to talk about the contents of the scripture, Chang Xiu immediately stood up and said, "Bochen, no!"
Chang Qiuwu also stood up. The two of them bowed solemnly to the north, and Chang Xiucai said: "Perhaps the emperor really showed his holiness - then this sutra is only given to you. Without the emperor's permission, do not tell it to another person!"
They were so serious that Li Bochen was shocked. He originally planned to use the name of the true scripture because it was considered his own practice. Even if Chang Xiu is a grandfather, he should not inquire about other people's practices. Unexpectedly, they reacted like this when they heard the emperor’s gift——
Li Boxen thought to himself, that's it. I have become the emperor myself, so I naturally have nothing to fear. And because of where I come from, I may be a little more "stolen" towards the gods and gods than the people in this world. But grandpa and Fengzhi’s reverence for spiritual gods was written into their flesh and blood. When it comes to the matter of Emperor Beichen, they naturally won't feel that they, the Spirit Master of Beichen, are making things up... not to mention that in their hearts, they can be considered honest people.
On the contrary, he felt a little guilty, but now that the matter was over, he could only say seriously: "I understand."
Chang Xiu's expression softened a little, and after thinking for a while, he said, "Are you sure this method really works? What else do we need to do?"
Li Bochen said: "If I wasn't sure, I wouldn't say anything. I've been thinking about it all morning today - the first step is to let Li Shengyi know that the real successor of Beichen is dead. He will definitely send someone to investigate, and we have to Let him find out. The rest is a matter of my magic."
