When he discussed with the two about deceiving Li Shengyi, he had a hard time talking. It is necessary to make the two of them feel that this matter is indeed feasible, but they cannot tell the truth. But fortunately, the "Nine Yang Manual" was used to cover it up, and it was finally fooled. He thought that this must be the reason why the two of them felt that they were "honest people".
Then they talked about people's livelihood and building construction, and left at dusk after dinner.
When I left Changzhai in the past, I felt either a little happy or a little unhappy, but this time walking in the night, I felt very calm. He thought maybe it was because after Sui Bujiu's incident, many thoughts in his mind had been dispelled, and some things had become "clear". You can lie and conceal things yourself, so why force others to be honest with you? No matter what grandpa and the others do, they will never do it with the intention of harming themselves like others.
He returned to the house and learned that Meng Peiyong had been here in the afternoon and tried to talk to Fang Junfeng and Xie Yusheng. The two of them seemed to look down on the rural machine builder. They didn't talk to each other, but they didn't try to escape. Maybe they were really waiting for them to keep their promise.
He asked some more questions about the camp, then washed up and went to bed. After a while of leisure in the next two days, the Meng family sent three sets of wooden armors. They were a little rough due to the rush of work, but the shape was usable. Li Bochen returned to that world and realized that he was right. When he left, Arctic Ziweitian was still functioning normally, and soldiers and armor could be raised.
He took Zhou Pan, his soldiers and dozens of young men to cut trees in the mountains. Following Zhou Pan's idea, he made a lot of thick logs. Zhou Pan planned to imitate the style of the Sui military camp and build a wall first. This was simple and trouble-free, and he could slowly build it higher in the future.
On the third day, the construction of the site for the enclosure he envisioned began—enclosing the hillside where Chang's house, his house, and the Meng family's house were located. With a commanding location and three wells in the courtyard, water supply is not a problem.
When the construction started, an incense table was set up in Zhou Pan to offer sacrifices to Baosheng Yuanjun, who was under the Antarctic Emperor. It is said that this Yuanjun was in charge of building civil engineering, digging wells and building stoves. This seemed to be such an important event that even Chang Xiu came out of the deep house to worship with everyone.
Li Bochen couldn't worship him. Not only could he not worship him, but he had to wait until everyone had worshiped the Yuan Lord before worshiping him, and then asked him to sacrifice Beichen with his tailao to confess his sins. He murmured that he didn't know who came up with the idea of using pig, cow and sheep heads. If the spirit god really knew how to eat them, wouldn't it be better to use fine steaks?
He still wore full armor today. The armor on his left arm was torn, so he temporarily replaced it with a wooden armor. The red cloak was still hanging on his back. By the time I finished this set of procedures, I was already covered in sweat, and I felt like moisture was evaporating from my nails. But you can't change it, because in an hour or two the team to be consecrated by Lord Linxi will arrive. Before the ceremony began, a messenger arrived first.
He, Chang Xiu and the others went to wait outside the northeast boundary of the village. They brought Sui Buxiu with them. In terms of etiquette, he was regarded as the envoy of Duke Chebei who stayed here, and Lord Linxi was regarded as Li Boxen's nominal "lord", so he naturally went with his master's family to welcome him. Your Majesty’s messenger.
But in fact, they did not intend to ask Sui Bujiu to get close to the construction site. I had already ordered him last night to ask Zhou Pan to frown and drive him away if he wanted to go see the excitement - he was the craftsman in charge of the construction, and it was understandable that he had a bad temper, not to mention that he could rely on his old age to show off his skills.
After waiting for some time, I finally saw two rows of black square flags appearing in the distance. There were two rows of armored knights on the left and right, their armor shining brightly in the sunlight. Then a general came forward, with his helmet and visor removed, looking mighty and ferocious. Li Bochen didn't know if that was Qin Le, but he guessed that the person was cursing in his heart like he was - he felt too hot wearing single clothes today, but he had to wear a thick layer of armor in addition to the lining.
Behind the general are three carriages, each with four horses, and behind the carriage are two rows of sixteen knights. Li Bochen saw that these people had good riding skills and were all tall and tall. He thought that although my dozen soldiers were not a mob, they were still far behind compared with these people. I don't know how many such elite soldiers Li Shengyi has under his command.
When they were close, the general raised his hand and told everyone to stand down. With a command, they all dismounted from their horses.
Li Bochen has prepared tables and cases by the roadside, and there are also some homemade fruits, vegetables, incense and candles on them. The general raised his hand and lifted up his visor. Li Boxen took a look and saw that it was indeed Qin Le.
He had a straight face at this time, a serious expression and a serious expression. After dismounting, he pressed the knife and walked to the first carriage and said something. The door was opened and an official in a bright red dress walked out. This man is about fifty years old, thin, with a goatee, and a somewhat unpleasant appearance.
When I got out of the car, I still had a scroll with a black background and red stripes in my hand, which was held at shoulder level. After landing, he walked steadily towards this side, and Qin Le also followed behind him with his sword pressed.
Chang Xiu had already explained what to do last night, and Li Bochen strode forward to greet him. The two stood down when they were three steps away from each other. Li Boxen said first: "Your Majesty, please be well."
The red-robed official said: "General, you are well."
Then he stopped talking. Li Bochen also held his breath and concentrated, just waiting for him to speak. But the two stared at each other for a while, and then Li Boxen thought to himself: What's wrong? What did I miss? But I don't know what I did wrong.
The official could only say: "General, please welcome the order."
Li Bochen thought for a while and said, "Oh... the general will welcome the order at the end."
The official's face became a little unhappy. Li Bochen thought for a while and thought to himself, could it be that he wants me to kneel down to accept him? It's not like he has never knelt down before others, but he really doesn't want to kowtow to Li Shengyi's order - both parties know that the relationship between king and minister is not real.
He snorted in his heart and still stood.
At this time, Qin Le, who was standing behind the official, said in a low voice: "Mr. Wei, it's almost done. I'm almost dying of heat. You should finish the announcement and rest early."
He winked at Li Bochen again. Li Bochen couldn't help but smile in his heart and thought to himself that his temperament had not changed.
But the official only frowned but did not speak. Li Bochen sneered and thought to himself, it's for your own good that I won't kneel down to accept him - I'm afraid your life will be shortened if you accept my bow.
He also frowned and whispered: "Mr. Wei, are you feeling uncomfortable somewhere? Could it be that you have heatstroke?"
Then he said loudly: "No, come here! Mr. Wei is suffering from heatstroke!"
Fang Yu, who was a few steps away, immediately said: "Quickly, bring me some water!"
Zhao Bo and Teng Zhong were about to take the jug on the case. When the official saw this, he gritted his teeth, shook the book order open, and said: "Master Carrier, the book to the west says: The emperor Guangyun, mortal world When the earth is overturned, no one will fail to obey the orders of Qin Jun. When the sun rises from the corner of the sea, Pu will not fail to lead..."
