At this time, he was not stunned, but Li Bochen was stunned: "What did you say?"
Gao Haohe said: "I remember, you are Li Bochen, Marquis of Wuwei - my sister drew a portrait of you to show me."
After saying this, he patted his head again: "Sister—Princess Changlong!"
After hearing these four words, Li Bochen felt a rush of heat rushing up and hitting his chest. He just froze in place and stared at Gao Haohe. Seeing him like this, Gao Haohe gave up and said hurriedly: "Believe me, I won't lie - after I came to the palace at the age of ten, my sister called me Fifth Brother. Oh, and, Brother Sui - Sui Buxiu—also calls me fifth brother!"
Li Bochen took a breath and whispered: "Your sister...Princess Changlong, when did you show me my portrait?"
"After she goes back!" Gao Haohe said this, his tone became more cautious, "Brother-in-law, Miss Man told me everything about you. She actually misses you very much - oh, I was still there at that time I asked her, I said, if I see my brother-in-law one day, how can I make him believe that I am me? She said, then you just say goodbye in the world - Brother-in-law, what else does the word "goodbye in the world" mean?"
Li Bochen already felt that he had taken a breath just now, but when he heard the word "jianghu", he felt a sledgehammer hit his chest with a thud. It was painful and he couldn't breathe. He was silent for a moment and then whispered: "Why did she show it to you?"
Gao Haohe thought for a while and said: "That day was in the afternoon. She had been back for more than ten days and was going out for the first time. When I saw her, she was drinking at Jinque Terrace. I asked her where she had been a few days ago. She didn't say anything either. I saw a few paintings piled up on the case in front of her, so I went to look at them, and I saw your likeness. I said, Miss Xiaoman, this person doesn't look bad, and he looks like a good person. Could it be that Are you also some kind of rebellious and thief?"
When he said this, he glanced at Li Bochen and said: "Oh, Sister Xiaoman usually likes to catch those people. In fact, it was her father who asked her to do it. When I said this, she suddenly laughed. He didn’t say anything, but suddenly he pulled me and said, come on, Changhe, this is your brother-in-law, his name is Li Bochen.”
Li Bochen's lips moved, wanting to say, "Please elaborate further." But somehow Gao Haohe seemed to be able to guess what he was thinking, and immediately said: "Of course I was surprised, Miss Xiaoman, what are you talking about?" But she told me that she met you some days ago , had already sworn to the emperors to become husband and wife. But the father and the king did not allow it, so she had to come back temporarily. She also said, maybe with more time, you will see each other again. I said, oh, why not I run out and find my brother-in-law first? , ask him to pick you up. Sister Xiaoman smiled and said yes, and I said, if I see him, how can I make him believe that I am me? Sister Xiaoman stopped laughing, drank another glass of wine, and said , then you say goodbye to the world."
When Gao Haohe said this, he let out a long breath: "Then she touched my head, picked up your portrait and left."
When he said goodbye to Jianghu, Li Boxen was already convinced that this must be what Xiaoman said to him. After he said this again, Li Bochen didn't know whether he felt sour or sweet in his heart. He just looked forward to Gao Haohe saying more.
When he stopped, Li Bochen closed his eyes slightly and was silent for a while, then said: "What you said seems to be deliberately telling me a story."
Gao Haohe said hurriedly: "Brother-in-law, I am not...actually like this. Every time my father called me into the palace and talked to me, my mother would ask me what my father said when I returned home. What, you asked me to tell you in detail—my father’s expression, his tone, and what he was doing at the time. Over time, I have developed this habit, and I am definitely not making it up.”
Xu Cheng suddenly said: "With such a temperament, it is good to be an ordinary person, but not suitable to be a prince. No wonder Gao Xin doesn't like him."
Li Boxen said: "Do you believe it?"
Xu Cheng smiled: "He knows the temple method, has the right age and accent, and said these things - who can set a trap so many days in advance and know that we are here? Don't forget that this severe cold disaster is The Sword God was just attracted a few days ago."
He's right. Li Bochen stared at Gao Haohe carefully and handed him the jade pendant in his palm: "Okay, I believe you. But how did you get here?"
Speaking of this, Gao Haohe's face turned pale. He just said that when those parents were short-lived, he looked like a half-grown child, but now he looks like an adult: "I heard that the Demon Kingdom is moving south and it is getting harder and harder to defend. My father is often worried about this, and he talks about many ways. Being cut off, it was difficult to know what the military situation was like... I just thought that my father would patrol the land on behalf of the emperor. Since I was a prince, of course I also had the responsibility to relieve the sufferings of the people. So I ran out secretly and thought about being Tushan to explore the military situation. I was I also know that brother-in-law, you are already the Marquis of Wuwei, and if I can see you, it would be better to ask you to pick up Sister Xiaoman. Unfortunately, when I arrived in the Sui Kingdom, I encountered the Rakshasa Army, so I could only go north. He walked further and further... but was caught in Dangtu Mountain."
Xu Cheng laughed: "This kid is very similar to you. Brother Li, you were also very righteous when you were in Zhangcheng. But as a prince, you have such thoughts in your mind. I don't know That Roman girl usually teaches him something."
Li Boxen said: "You are only sixteen or seventeen, and you are also a child."
Xu Cheng frowned and said: "Me? How can he be compared with me? When this Nanmen Lord was still trying to please Gao Xin in the palace, my hands were already bleeding!"
This competitive look is more like that of a half-grown boy. But he was right, it was indeed difficult for Li Bochen to treat him as a child. Because he knows that once a person becomes a spirit master, he is only half human.
As for Gao Haohe, what he said is true, and he does not look like a prince. Li Bochen has not come into contact with many royal families. People like Li Shengyi, Sui Wujiu, and Sui Bujiu are all very scheming. To be fair, even Xiaoman is considered a good person. But this Gao Haohe came to be Tushan himself and was captured because he wanted to take care of his father. With such a pure and kind character, it would only be a tragedy for him to be born into a royal family.
But Li Bochen liked his temperament. Then he scooped out a bowl of hot water and gave it to him: "Drink some water to warm yourself first."
He took another pill and handed it to him: "Take it bit by bit."
Gao Haohe sat up wrapped in his cloak and reached out to take it. He looked at the marching pill, put it in his mouth and took a bite. His eyes lit up: "This is good stuff!"
The Xingjun pills don't look good. At first glance, they look black and I thought they were dirty. But Gao Haohe didn't hesitate at all when he put it into his mouth, which made Li Bochen have a lot of good feelings in his heart. He smiled: "While you are eating, tell me in detail how you were arrested, where you were sent, and what did you see?"
Gao Haohe put down the pills, stared and asked: "Brother-in-law, are you here with troops? Are you going to destroy their lair!?"
Li Boxen said: "Let's take a look at the situation first."
Gao Haohe frowned and thought for a while, and said: "Actually, I am also unlucky. When I arrived in the Sui Kingdom at that time, I wanted to go to Dingzhen first, and then go north. I felt that the demon army must have taken over that place. There are heavy troops deployed on the border, but the hinterland may be empty of troops. Dingzhen is in Hezhou, in the hinterland of the Sui Kingdom, and there is no danger to defend on all sides. The demon army will definitely not put too many people there. Brother-in-law, you think I am right. wrong?"
Li Boxen said: "That's the truth."
Gao Haohe looked very happy and said: "It was no different from what I thought at the beginning. There were refugees fleeing all the way, and almost no demon army was seen. I also walked in the wild all the way, not entering villages or towns. When I arrived at Dingding When I really ran out of food and water, I wanted to go to the city to buy some more. As long as I don't cause any trouble, people in the Demon Kingdom may not know who I am."
"But when I got outside the city, I found that Dingzhen had been burned down, and there were corpses all over the city and outside the city. The more I looked at it, the more angry I became, so I walked toward the city. I wanted to see if I could find anything to eat, and I also wanted to talk to the refugees on the road. Those demon army cannibals, there are so many corpses here, maybe they will find some who are alone, then I will kill them."
Li Boxen said: "The demon army you encountered, was it the Monster Division or the Rakshasa Division?"
Gao Changhe said: "Most of them are Rakshasa, and there are also some monster beasts that are used as beasts of burden."
Li Bochen nodded, and Gao Haohe continued: "When I entered the city, I saw a mountain of corpses, and I happened to see a Rakshasa eating people, so I killed him. I thought he was alone, but he killed him. Well, many Rakshasas suddenly appeared from the city. I ran away when I saw that the situation was not good. When I ran out of the city, I saw more and more Rakshasas chasing me, and they even raised a flag and came out. I was When I was in the palace, I learned the military system of Rakshasa and recognized that it was the flag of a commander of a thousand. Now I felt relieved, thinking that since he was a commander of a thousand, he must be here to defend the city, so I could escape as far away as possible. , they can at most send a small team to chase me, and most of them will go back, and by then I might be able to kill that small team as well."
Li Boxen said: "What skills did the Rakshasa you killed have?"
Gao Haohe curled his lips and said, "Skills? He doesn't have any skills. He just has more strength and is less likely to die if he is hit by a knife."
When he said this, he saw the look in Li Boxen's eyes and said immediately: "Oh, brother-in-law, do you want to hear this? That Rakshasa was a man. I was hiding behind a wall at the time. I first gave him a water and fire thunder, and I held it with my hand. I jumped out of the wall like this and kicked him in the neck. He was already dead after being hit by water, fire and thunder, but he didn't freeze through. I kicked him over and his head didn't fall off. He fell to the ground but got up. I had to I stabbed him again, but he was still alive, so I stabbed him in the heart a few more times before he died."
Li Boxen frowned slightly, and was about to ask what Water, Fire and Thunder were when Xu Cheng said, "It's something created by Shuxue. It's a bit like Shuxin, but Shuxin generates the two qi of clear and turbidity to drive the armored car, while Shuihuorei generates the two elements of water and fire." Qi. It emits extreme cold and heat. If you use it on a person, your hands and feet may be broken by the cold, but the inside of your body will be scorched. I heard that this thing is a by-product of doing magic. A spell costs tens of thousands of dollars, so naturally you I’ve never seen it. Hmm…it’s the emperor’s family after all. This unpopular prince can kill a Rakshasa soldier with something like this.”
Xu Cheng's tone was sour, but Li Boxen felt a little jealous after hearing this. He then said, "Okay, go on."
Gao Haohe sighed: "Going down... That's right, didn't I originally think that they would go back if they chased them too far? As a result, not only did they not go back, but more and more people were shouting and drinking. In the end, it was simply A Rakshasa of a thousand-man team chased me. At that time, I was still wondering if the person I killed was some big shot? It wasn’t until I was caught that I found out that it wasn’t the case at all - it was just because those Rakshasa were really He didn't take military discipline seriously. When he saw that he was killed, everyone came to chase him. When he couldn't catch him, he got angry. As a result, he couldn't defend the city anymore and didn't care about anything! Don't believe me when I tell you. I'll run away. When I entered Siheng Mountain, there were at least several thousand Rakshasas following me, looking for me all over the mountains and plains!"
Li Boxen said: "How did you get caught?"
Gao Changhe said: "I encountered some remnants of the Sui army in the Siheng Mountains and were being besieged. I went to help, but I was caught."
"The remaining troops?" Li Boxen asked, "Approximately how many people are there?"
Gao Haohe said: "Not many, probably more than a hundred people. They are very courageous, one hundred people, surrounded by a thousand-strong Rakshasa team, and guarded in a bunker for almost a month!"
Li Bochen didn't know what to say now. This is not to help, but to die. Even I may not be able to do this kind of thing.
