Li Bochen nodded to him and said to Tao Chunxi: "Miss Tao, I've finished talking about my affairs here. Please come in."
After a while, Tao Chunxi walked in the door. Lady Meng greeted her and said to Li Boxen, "Then I'll go and sort out those things first."
Li Bochen stood up and said, "Thank you for your hard work, sister."
After Meng Meng left, Li Bochen noticed that Tao Chunxi's eyes were a little strange. The two of them had been acting a bit unfamiliar before, but he deliberately livened up the atmosphere and said, "Why do you guys have a quarrel?"
Tao Chunxi said: "It's not too noisy - Fang Chu and I talked about a few things in the past, and the man made false claims when he heard that I was studying at the art school."
Li Bochen guessed that the "nonsense" Tao Chunxi said might be something like "women can also teach and learn." I heard Fang Junfeng speak with a lot of character before. Maybe he is too angry now because he has been locked up in the room for a long time.
He smiled: "Then what did you say?"
Tao Chunxi said: "I asked him a few technical matters, but he couldn't answer, so he said it was just talking on paper. He also said that what we learned may not be useful on the battlefield."
This is not entirely wrong - for people in this world. But Li Boxen understood the great role of theory, so he said: "Miss Tao, don't take it to heart. He is a soldier just like me. He is just a rough man."
Tao Chunxi was silent for a moment and said, "Li Boxen, you are not a rough person."
After hearing the words "Li Boxen", he was silent for a moment.
Many people have called his name, but most of them are enemies. Those who are not enemies may be called "Junhou", "General Li", or "Achen".
But when Tao Chunxi called his name, it sounded different. When she first arrived at Tao's house, she called herself Mr. Li. Later, when the Tao family was killed and she was confused, she called her full name. These three words in her mouth do not mean unfamiliarity or hostility, but rather closeness. When he heard it, ripples appeared in his heart.
His heart softened, and he whispered: "I'm so sorry. I'm too busy these days, and something happened last night. I didn't have time to talk to you - you sit down."
Tao Chunxi hummed softly and sat down. He wrung his hands in his sleeves and said, "...can I still call you Li Bochen? In private?"
Li Boxen said: "Okay."
"How is Tao Gong? Where is Dingchen?"
"My dad is fine. Linxi Jun asked him to lead a caravan and sell some things in the surrounding houses. Dingchen is fine too. He just doesn't like studying yet, but he is more sensible than before." She paused. After a while, "Dad and he are always talking about you."
Li Bochen sat in silence for a while before finally finding a sentence: "You shouldn't be here."
Tao Chunxi was stunned, and Li Bochen himself was stunned, and said: "I didn't mean that."
Tao Chunxi smiled: "I know. But I can't make the decision - my father and I are living under someone else's roof, so we have to listen to others. If only I had followed you, my father and Dingchen would be very happy now."
Li Bochen shook his head: "It may not be much better here, alas."
Tao Chunxi said: "Last night... neither of them went out."
"Well, I believe you on this."
"I heard... you got a wife."
Li Bochen smiled: "Yeah."
"Then she..."
Li Bochen thought for a while and whispered: "She is a very good person, but she can't help herself. But sooner or later I will get her back. At that time, maybe you can still be friends."
After he said this, he breathed out lightly: "Chunxi."
Tao Chunxi was stunned and looked at him earnestly. Li Boxen looked down at the paper on the table and said, "If you have a chance, find a reason and leave quickly. This is really not a good place, but you are in your best years."
Tao Chunxi's face slowly turned pale, but she pursed her lips, stood up and said with a smile, "Okay, I'll listen to you. Then... I'll go back first."
Li Bochen said nothing, and she slowly walked to the door of the study. Taking a step forward, he suddenly turned around and said, "Li Boxen, do you really want me to leave? That's it?"
There was water in her eyes, and Li Bochen sighed and was about to speak, but Tao Chunxi said again: "We are not good at all over there. Dad said that Li Shengyi treated us with great courtesy, but even I felt panicked, why is he like this? I didn't know anything in Zhangcheng before, but I know now... My father is not a god, and he can't do anything about many things. My father once told me that women must have someone to rely on, but I don't say that in magic. . But now Li Bochen... I really want someone to take me far away... I..."
She shed tears: "I regret not asking you to take me away that night."
Li Bochen was silent for a moment and said: "Miss Tao, it was once difficult to overcome the difficulties."
Tao Chunxi's face suddenly turned pale, and she shed a few more tears. She read these words again and smiled sadly: "Okay...Li Bochen, then I'm leaving."
When she walked into the courtyard, Li Bochen heard Fang Rui call Miss Tao in a low voice. He didn't get up either, he just sighed heavily in his heart. The sentence "It used to be difficult to make a difference" is really a bit excessive, but the reason why he said this was because he knew that Tao Chunxi was a person of temperament.
She is a woman. Although she usually looks calm and gentle, there is a fire in her heart. He told himself to take her away the night before, and he said so again today - not every woman in the place where he came from could do this kind of thing. If you meet the right person, this fire may be vigorous, but if you pay attention to it wrongly, it may come back to bite you.
He was not the "right person", so instead of letting her miss him, it would be better to give up his feelings all at once.
I hope she has such a temperament that love will not lead to hatred.
After a while, he slowly walked into the courtyard. Fang Yu couldn't help but said when he saw him: "General, Miss Tao..."
Li Boxen said: "Brother Fang, let her go."
He walked to the door of the reverse room again and said through the door: "Fang Junfeng, Xie Yusheng, I told you to stay for seven days before leaving -"
Fang Junfeng immediately said: "Why, are you regretting it now?"
Li Boxen said: "You can leave now if you want."
After saying this, he raised his hand and twisted the door, and then pulled down the copper lock. The door was blown open by the wind, and he smelled a faint stench. It's been getting hotter these days, and they must be having a hard time in the house.
Both people in the room had surprised expressions on their faces. Xie Yusheng glared and said, "Are you serious?"
Li Bochen smiled: "To be honest with you two, something happened here. In a few days, I'm afraid that the Linxi Army will come, and a Sui Army will also come. I originally wanted to ask you two to help me train an army. When the armored convoy comes out, one will be the commander-in-chief and the other will be the counselor-general, but now my idea is ruined - we have no personal grudges, so let’s give you a way out."
The two looked at each other and Fang Junfeng stood up. Li Bochen couldn't help but sigh in his heart - he really wanted to let these two people go. Since we can't keep him, why don't we ask them to go back and send a message, which will completely muddy the waters. It's just that he has never handed someone a bucket in his life. He did it a few days ago, and they didn't appreciate it at all. It was really aggrieved.
But Fang Junfeng said: "Build an armored convoy? How many people do you have, and you actually want a convoy?"
Li Bochen was slightly stunned, but after thinking about it, he said: "There are only about twenty people now. In the future, there may be hundreds. But with these few hundred people, I also want a team of thirty or forty vehicles." A complete convoy.”
Fang Junfeng frowned and said, "Why so many?"
Compared with the current military system of the Sui army, it is indeed much more. There are 10,000 defenders in Wuliang City, but there are only a hundred armored vehicles. Hundreds of people need thirty or forty vehicles, which is more than ten times more. Li Boxen smiled and said: "It's not that I want more, it's that others have underestimated the power of this car, and they didn't know how to use it in the past."
Fang Junfeng thought for a while: "You said others can't use it, is it possible that you can use it?"
Naturally, he doesn't know how to do it, but he just has a general idea in his mind. If you ask him to talk in detail, he may be pointed out his mistakes, but at this time he only smiled slightly and cherished his words: "It's hard to say in the south. But in Li territory, there are great plains everywhere, so the strategy of war is - Torrent of steel, blitzkrieg.”
Fang Junfeng's eyes lit up and he couldn't help but say something. But after a pause, he still said: "I will treat you as a god in using soldiers, but do you know how troublesome it is to build an armored vehicle and how many things are needed?"
Li Boxen said solemnly: "Since I have such an idea, I can naturally solve it."
Fang Junfeng immediately said: "You are going to solve it yourself? You only have a thousand people here, and there are only a few soldiers - do you think that just anyone can drive this car?"
Li Boxen said: "That's why I want to ask you two for help."
Fang Junfeng stopped talking. After thinking for a moment, he turned to look at Xie Yusheng and said: "My brother Xie is from Li. Now that you have captured him, if you put him back, I am afraid he will not end well. He should stay."
Xie Yusheng heard this and whispered: "Captain!"
Fang Junfeng added: "As for me, at most I will be sent out as a soldier when I go back, and my life will not be worried. But in this life, I'm afraid I won't be asked to get in the car again. Most of what I have learned in this life is In the car...General Li, do you really value the armored car so much?"
Li Bochen smiled and said, "This is the first time in my life that someone has sat down on someone."
Fang Junfeng finally smiled: "Then, I can also stay and take a look. If one day I feel that what you did and what you said today are two different things - if I leave then, will you agree?"
For the first time today, Li Bochen felt a hint of joy in his heart, and said solemnly: "A true man keeps his promise. If you want to leave by then, you can leave of course."
Fang Junfeng nodded and looked at Xie Yusheng again: "Brother Xie, what do you think?"
Xie Yusheng sighed: "I'll listen to you, the commander."
Fang Junfeng suddenly knelt down half-kneeling, cupped his fists, and said, "General Li, accept my bow."
Xie Yusheng also bowed down with a dull face. Li Bochen hurriedly picked up the two of them one after another, shook their shoulders, and said: "Li is so lucky to have the two of you helping me!"
After saying this, he couldn't help but turn slightly and look outside the hospital, and whispered in his heart: Thank you, Tao Chunxi.
