He finally opened his mouth, and Li Bochen stood up again. After listening to him read the order, he only wrote down "Marquis of Wuwei" - grandpa's guess was correct, it turned out to be a marquis and not a duke.
After that, he received the registration order according to the regulations and asked, "Your Majesty, are you in good health?", "Is your Majesty in good health?", "I am so happy, thank you for your great kindness, Your Majesty," and then left the roadside. The incense table and the like were all removed.
After doing this, Chang Xiu went up to talk to the envoy. Qin Lecai walked up to Li Bochen and said with a smile: "Brother Li - oh, he is a prince now - don't take it personally, Wei Dongshan is like this." , this is not what your Majesty meant."
Li Boxen said: "I know - Brother Qin is here okay. Knowing that it is you who is here makes me feel much better."
Qin Le said with a smile: "Haha, that's natural. My strength may not be as good as yours, but when it comes to training and organizing troops, I'm afraid you'll call me master - by the way, how's my wife doing?"
Li Bochen sighed and thought to himself, I don't know whether Lord Linxi sent him to me because he knew I was familiar with him, or because he offended someone with his words again.
He wanted to say a few perfunctory words, but Qin Le said: "Oh, now is not the time to talk about this. Junhou, you have already heard the order just now, but I still have a private letter from you."
After saying this, he took out a letter from his breastplate and handed it to Li Boxen.
Private letter? Li Boxen reached out to take it and was about to open it when he saw another woman walking out of the second carriage. Wearing a sky-blue official robe and a free cloud crown on her head, it was Tao Chunxi.
He put the letter in his arms and saw that Tao Chunxi seemed a little confused after getting out of the car - no one greeted her and there were no servants around her, so he looked around and just stood there.
Li Boxen pointed to her and said, "Brother Qin, Miss Tao."
Qin Le turned around and took a look, stunned: "Yes, what's wrong?"
Li Boxen said: "You'd better go and say hello, and we'll talk later."
Only then did Qin Le react and said with a smile: "Ha, now I understand why Madam-in-law has eyes for you alone - I am not as thoughtful as the Lord. Okay, then I will greet her."
He turned around and strode over. Tao Chunxi glanced this way, her eyes brightening slightly. Li Bochen also smiled at her, nodded, turned and walked away.
When she was in Zhangcheng, she once asked herself to take her away. This kind of thing is worthy of bragging for a man, but not necessarily for a daughter's family. Li Bochen had already let go, not knowing if she had, so he thought it would be best to say goodbye slowly to avoid embarrassment for her.
After that, they welcomed everyone into the decorated "Welcome Hotel" and unloaded the things that Li Shengyi had given to the third car. They saw that they were all gold, silver, jade, etc., which could be used for a while.
The guest house was renovated from an abandoned house. It was big, but also a little shabby. Fortunately, Wei Dongshan was a bit difficult to deal with when he issued the order. He was not dissatisfied when he saw the house, but seemed a little happy. He was able to go to the same place with Chang Xiu and Chang Qiuwu, talk about some classics and historical books, and recount old things from the past, and the atmosphere became more harmonious.
Today, the villagers came to watch the construction of buildings and foundations and join in the fun. They saw people coming again and heard that everyone was having a banquet in the evening. They suddenly became even more happy. A group of children climbed up the wall and looked into the yard. They were not afraid when they saw the Linxi Cavalry Army guarding them with serious looks. Instead, they were giggling and happy.
Li Bochen sat at the top of the room for a while, but couldn't stand it any longer, so he got up. Wei Dongshan, Chang Xiu, and Chang Qiuwu who were sitting on both sides also stood up. Li Boxen said: "Your Majesty, I still have something to deal with, so I won't be lazy for now."
At this time, the side sealing was completed, but Wei Dongshan knew the etiquette and immediately lowered his eyes and said: "Yes."
Li Bochen thought to himself, no wonder these three people could talk together, and strode out of the hall.
When I arrived in the yard, I heard a group of children laughing on the wall, and saw Qin Le changing into a uniform and walking out of the backyard, and asked: "Brother Qin, do you want to come to my house to sit?"
Qin Le sighed: "I would like to go, but I can't go. This Mr. Wei has a lot of things to do. He will definitely ask me about the night watch. I will go to you for a drink in the evening."
Li Boxen smiled and said, "Okay."
He looked in the direction of the backyard again, walked out of the gate and called Fang Meng, and returned to his house.
He entered the courtyard gate, and just as he was about to ask Fang Chu to guard the door and read Li Shengyi's private message in the room, Fang Chu had already spoken: "General, Miss Tao is here."
Li Boxen said: "I saw it."
Fang Yu said with a smile: "When she was walking to the guest house just now, her eyes never left your body."
Li Boxen walked a few more steps, and when he arrived at the door of the hall, he said, "Fang Yu, close the courtyard door. You will stay in the courtyard and no one is allowed to enter."
Fang Yu was stunned for a moment, then said: "Oh... okay."
When Li Bochen closed the door and there was only a crack left, he saw Fang Lijia standing in the sun with a dazed expression. The two soldiers guarding the door of the reverse room were also looking at him, so he couldn't help but sigh. He said in a tone: "Brother Fang, I already have a wife, don't mention Miss Tao anymore. It's hot, take off your armor and get some water to drink."
Then he walked back to the east room, took off his cloak, took off his armor, wiped his face with a handkerchief, changed into dry clothes, and then picked up the letter.
After opening it, I saw that there was only a thin piece of paper inside. When I took it out and took a look, I found that it was not a letter, but seemed to be a charm.
He was stunned, what does this mean? With a thought in his heart, he walked to the window and closed it, then picked up the charm.
Could it be the flying sound talisman? He had heard of this thing in the Infinite Army, which could preserve human voices. He took a closer look at the few incantations on it, and felt that what he was thinking was right, so he tried to use his spiritual power and tap lightly on the talisman.
The talisman immediately flew into the air, and an upward line of fire lit up at the bottom, but it moved extremely slowly.
There was a voice in the room.
"Brother Bochen, I am Li Shengyi. Brother Lao was really sorry to listen to my order. In fact, I had already seen you when I was in Zhangcheng. At that time, I only thought you were a hero, but I didn't expect you. I am actually a blood relative of the surname Li, brother, and I am also a person blessed by Beichen's luck."
Is this Li Shengyi's voice? Why is his tone so polite?
"I heard that Brother Bochen asked me for a title. I was really scared, but I also know your intentions. Today's order has arrived. It's not because I want to steal the throne, but because the current situation is forced."
"Since I raised the flag of justice more than ten years ago, I have gone through all kinds of twists and turns to achieve the current climate. It is really hard-earned. Now that I know where Beichen's destiny is, then everything in my hands is not mine, but Brother Bochen, it’s yours.”
"But now the Five Kingdoms are watching with eager eyes, and there is a demonic army moving southward. If I lead my troops to surrender to you at this time, it will definitely cause an uproar. There are many former aristocratic families here, and since the fall of the country, many of them have secretly communicated with the people of the Five Kingdoms. It’s because of spiritual gods and righteousness that they gathered under my banner and reluctantly became one. If I find out today that Brother Bochen is the successor of Beichen, and I don’t know what kind of hero you are, I must have immediately It will fall apart. Then our great cause of national restoration may be far away."
"Therefore, what I do today is not for my own personal gain, but for the great cause of my family and country. But one day, when Brother Bochen's fame spreads far and wide, I will dedicate everything to him and will never be greedy for power."
"Now my two brothers, one in the north and one in the south, can be each other's horns, watching and helping each other. I hope that I will take care of myself, keep a low profile, and when the time comes, we can achieve great things for a long time."
At this moment, the line of fire happened to burn out, and the spell turned into a cloud of ashes and dispersed.
Li Boxen didn't expect what was said in the private message. He sat back on the bed, slowly wiping his neck with a handkerchief, thinking that there was indeed nothing wrong with what Li Shengyi said. He had also been a general before and knew that although there were orders and prohibitions, the people under his command also had their own thoughts. Soldiers serve to earn money for food, and those under Li Shengyi are not all there to "recover Li Guo". Some of them should be for their own benefit. It's just that now everyone's interests are unified in one direction to form a whole.
Even if Li Shengyi himself really intended to regard himself as orthodox, as he said in his private letter, it is hard to say whether those under him would be happy or not. There are simply too many situations he can think of - for example, a general has stayed in Linxi for a long time, and has a lot of old relatives and friends under him, some of whom are small officials, and some of whom are doing business locally. Now Li Shengyi said that he would hand over everything to If you give it to yourself, then you must arrange someone you can trust.
Then "this general" would not be happy to see such a result. When there are more people like this, even Li Shengyi has to consider their ideas and be coerced by these people.
But whether he was telling the truth or not, his attitude made Li Bochen feel much relieved. Just as Grandpa expected, Li Shengyi knew what the current situation was like and had no intention of taking action immediately.
Li Bochen thought about what he had just heard, and thought to himself that although his grandfather looked down on him, this Linxi Lord was indeed an outstanding person, and he could condescend to him like this. However, this behavior is either because he is a truly upright gentleman and has a great heart, or... it is because he plans to gradually exert his efforts and plan secretly.
He already knew that people's hearts were unpredictable, so he thought, no matter what, I have to transform the "Beichen Emperor". Mr. Linxi is really a gentleman, I will not harm him. But if not, when he realizes that he has obtained Beichen's luck, he will be able to see his true colors.
Thinking of this, he was about to go to the basin in the corner of the room to wash the handkerchief, but his heart suddenly jumped——
I thought before that Qin Le might have offended someone again, so he was "assigned" to his side. But he was actually asked to deliver this flying sound talisman, which shows that Li Shengyi trusts him very much.
Well, if Li Shengyi is really not a gentleman, I'm afraid he will have to guard against Qin Le from now on!
