He originally thought that trouble would come after a while, but he didn't expect that only half an hour later, Ge Xuanbai came to him and said, "They want to go find something to eat."
Li Boxen asked: "Who are they?"
Ge Xuanbai didn't seem to know how to explain it, so he said: "...How about you go to their place and have a look."
Li Bochen placed the female warriors in a room near the back door, and naturally had to arrange someone else near the room to prevent them from seizing the door if they had evil intentions. When he walked to the back corridor, he saw several soldiers sitting on the ground eating.
There is almost no food in the bunker, but there is still some. However, the food saved for the sick and injured was obviously not the one who was eating. Li Bochen only looked around the corner and did not walk over. Ge Xuanbai said: "They gave it to me. They also said there was food outside."
In fact, Li Boxen was just thinking about going out to get food. The wind and snow are getting heavier now, but according to the pattern of the past few days, it will become significantly lighter in three or four hours. He planned to use that time to send people out again - these soldiers of his were not half-bloods or Rakshasa. In such weather, even if they only walked outside for two quarters of an hour, they might fall down.
But now they were the first to speak. Li Bochen thinks there are two possibilities. One possibility is that they have an upright temperament and naturally say whatever they want. The second possibility is that they want to ask these people to go out to carry food as soon as possible. When carrying food, they will naturally see the remaining women suffering outside.
More than 400 men who have not had sex with women for several years will probably feel more sorry for them than themselves when they see women, especially those who are freezing outside in a snowstorm. What's more, these people were brought in by him, the prince - "the prince considers these women to be friends rather than enemies."
He thought for a while, leaned against the wall, and said, "I'll think about it."
Ge Xuanbai responded, his spirit had left his body. When we arrived at the stone gorge outside the main gate, we almost didn't find the remaining sixty people. It took a while to realize that they were all buried in the snow. It turned out that the body of the dead bloat-headed beast was dragged around, and a snow shack was built using guns and sticks as pillars and a shield and sleeping bag as a roof.
But it was still bitterly cold outside, and even though these hybrids were in surprisingly good health, some looked like they were about to lose consciousness.
Li Bochen returned to his physical body, walked to the door of the room where the female warrior lived, and knocked on the door. Several soldiers leaning against the wall jumped up quickly, holding the food in their hands, looking uneasy. Li Boxen said: "Eat up. I'll ask you to do something later."
They responded in succession and walked away.
The female leader opened the door and Li Boxen asked: "How is the wounded?"
She took off her armor and wore only cotton lining, which made her body appear slender rather than strong. Li Boxen took a quick look through the crack in the door and saw that the women inside had also taken off their armor. Some were taking care of the wounded, some were gathering together to talk, and some seemed to be laughing. After removing the armor, they seemed to have also lost their "warrior" attributes and became just "women".
She said: "It's okay. What's wrong, are you okay?"
Li Boxen said: "I'll lend you a step to talk?"
The female leader sighed: "Is there anything you can't talk about here?"
But he followed him out anyway. The two took a few steps away, and Li Boxen said, "Can you tell me your origins?"
The female leader frowned: "No need, right? We'll let you rest here for a while. Once you've rested, we'll leave tomorrow. Don't worry, we only bring the meat of one of the eight camel beasts."
Li Bochen thought for a while and said, "You are the descendants of the Beiyuan Army, aren't you?"
The female leader's eyes blinked rapidly, but her expression did not change: "Beiyuan Army?"
"More than fifty years ago, the bunker we are in was the front line of the war. At that time, the Li State and the Sui State divided the Northern Plains with the Lanjiang River as the boundary. The Li State had a 100,000-strong Beiyuan Army on the Northern Plains." Li Boxen said, " But later, the Demon Kingdom took the North Plains in only three years, and all the 100,000 Northern Plains troops were wiped out. But in fact, some people survived, and had to go north after the road to the south was blocked by the Demon Army. Kill them and eventually have descendants like you, right?"
The female leader thought for a while and said: "Oh, it turns out that it was called Beiyuan Army at that time. You think that's right."
Li Bochen nodded: "My surname is Li. How do I call you?"
The female leader said: "My name is Yang Baoping."
"Where's your deputy?"
"It's Baidu. His name is Lu Jinyin."
"Where are the ten wounded in the room?"
"Yang Xia Xue, Lu Chun Chun, Yang Feng Xue, He Porcelain Plate, He Jin Jian, He Yin Dao, Yang Coral, and He Huadian." She paused, "Two Yang flutes."
"My deputy's name is Ge Xuanbai. I only remember the names of five or six other people." Li Bochen smiled, "Let's bring in people from outside, and then move in the rest of the things."
…
The bunker suddenly became lively. Li Bochen had never seen these soldiers so happy, so even he felt that he had made the right decision for the time being.
Xu Cheng also thought the same thing. A month had passed since the incident of "teaching Fengxue Sword God a lesson", and he seemed to be getting bolder and more old-fashioned. While Li Boxen was watching a few female warriors handling monster meat, Xu Cheng flattered him and said, "Your Majesty is really foresighted. Once these women come, these soldiers will be able to stay here with peace of mind for several days. It's just that you think about how to deal with these women." Are you staying too?"
Then he said: "The Rakshasa Yin spirits we gathered before have been almost refined by me. I think since we already have twenty Yin soldiers from the Dragon and Tiger realm, we might as well make a surprise attack while these women are sleeping. ——After we capture them all, we will find a place to settle in the north. The Sword God said that the territory in the north is much larger than the Six Kingdoms, but the area that the Rakshasa Royal Court can truly rule effectively is only one-tenth of the area. , and there are still large areas where no one can control them.”
Seeing that Li Bochen ignored him, he became more and more excited as he spoke: "It's useless for you to go back to the south now. Even if those people really pass on what you did here, and even if the five royal families think you are a hero of the world, who can Will you really be asked to take power? You must know that you are a person blessed by Beichen's luck. When you go back, you will either be a puppet, or you will survive in the cracks like before. Without your own land and army, what can you do no matter how strong you are? What? You can’t fight alone and kill everyone in the world again and again, right? What’s more, there are five other emperors!”
"We can take these people to occupy a piece of land further north and spend four or five years recuperating. Your wife is not an ordinary person. You don't have to worry about her cheating! After four or five years, you I have become a master who can dominate the world and have a strong army. At that time, I appeared out of nowhere and saved the people from hanging upside down. This is the real inheritance of eternal life, right?!"
He had already hinted at this meaning several times, and Li Boxen guessed that it had something to do with Fengxue Sword God. Feng Xuejian was from Beiyuan, so he wouldn't be surprised at all if Xu Cheng wanted to stay here for a while to find something to do. But what Xu Cheng said was not completely unreasonable - he had to have a stable base and an army in order to gain more benefits for himself and others. This is also the reason why he stayed here for this month and did not leave these soldiers behind.
Now an opportunity is coming to these female warriors. He would not do what Xu Cheng said, but he thought he could get more information from Yang Baoping to see if he could really find a piece of land in Beiyuan. It doesn’t take four or five years, just one year. Whether an army is strong or not depends on nothing more than discipline, armor, and logistical support. As Beichen, the latter two are not a problem at all. All he needs is a little time and space.
Being expelled here by Shang Jun, the misfortune seems to have turned into a happy event. Li Bochen became increasingly unsure whether the only living god had any ill intentions toward him at the beginning.
Xu Cheng wanted to speak, but Li Boxen said in his heart: "I understand."
Then he said: "You should call me Brother Li, don't call me Lord - that night it was the true king sent by the emperor who manifested his holiness on me. I only have a vague impression of what he did. I can't remember it completely. You don't need it." fear me."
Xu Cheng was stunned for a moment and didn't know what he was thinking. He just said: "Yes, my lord... yes, Brother Li."
Li Bochen was then distracted and continued to watch them handling the meat of the bloated beast.
Led by Yang Baoping, the female warriors dismembered all the bodies of the eight bloated beasts, shaved all the meat from the bones, and chopped all the fat and thin internal organs into minced meat, and then left them in the house to freeze. When it is frozen to a layer of ice on the surface but not frozen solidly, it is then made into one-foot-square meat bricks.
While waiting for the freezing weather, Yang Baoping took the initiative to ask about what happened on the Qianjiang River. His attitude was much more relaxed than before, as if since Li Bochen allowed them all to enter the bunker, the two sides had become comrades who had fought side by side for many years and could share the experience. A lot of information. At the same time, she and other female warriors were also observing Li Bochen and others, not hiding their interest at all.
After inquiring about many details, Yang Baoping said while crushing a black lump on the stone slab: "So you didn't defeat the Demon Kingdom people on your own, but with that Li Bochen? To be honest, I heard the old man say Regarding the matter on the other side of the mountain, I thought all of you were just like you. But I didn’t expect that you are already considered very powerful, so how did you hold off the Demon Kingdom for so many years?”
The tone and demeanor of her question were a bit like Noya's. Li Boxen explained that there were fortified cities, weapons, and a steady stream of logistical supplies and soldiers.
After hearing this, Yang Baoping said: "It seems that the old man said the same thing. I really should go and experience it to see how much better it is than our old city."
She doesn't look like Noya now. She is obviously smarter and more rational, willing to accept new things and has a strong thirst for knowledge.
When Li Bochen asked about their origins, Yang Baoping laughed and said: "You don't need to beat around the bush, haven't you already guessed it? The old man doesn't allow us to talk about these things to outsiders. I was the first to see you. I actually want to tell you when I meet someone for the first time, but you are outsiders. If you all come with us, then I can tell you."
Before Li Bochen could speak, she added: "But that must be impossible. There are more than 400 of you and more than 400 mouths. No camp can afford to support you, unless you go to the old city."
"But -" she looked at Li Bochen and smiled knowingly, "if you people go to the old city, you will definitely be dispersed and resettled. Can you let it go? If I guess correctly, you You want to make them your own, right?”
Now she has changed from her arrogant and cold demeanor when they first met, and seems to have become a friend who talks about everything. She looks bold but not stupid. This kind of personality suits Li Boxen very well. So he smiled back and said, "What if we could support ourselves?"
Yang Baoping laughed again and pointed to the meat bricks on the ground: "You have been watching here, do you want to learn how to do this?"
Li Bochen admitted.
She said: "Of course I can teach you this. But this food cannot be used as a staple food. Even if we eat too much of this kind of food, we can't stand it. The spiritual energy is too strong and we will get angry. If you don't eat this, you know how to grow wheat and rice." Lichens? Do you know how to find places to grow these things? In fact, the biggest problem in the snowfield is nothing else but food. Only with food can you survive, otherwise there will be no need for Rakshasa and monsters to look for you. You’re dead.”
Li Boxen said: "What if I use what you want to know in exchange for these methods of growing crops?"
"Hey, are you stupid? When I said food is a big problem, I meant us and those Rakshasa families. But of course it's not just a problem for you. How to build a house, what to use to build a house, how to heat, When there is dark wind, snow, and harmful animals, what should be eaten when, and what should be left behind - no one will teach you these things, and neither will we. Because if you know, you will really take root on your own. , who knows if he will become my enemy in the future?" After Yang Baoping said this, he thought about it again, "Unless..."
Li Boxen said: "Unless what?"
She laughed again: "You will know later."
After the meat bricks were completely frozen, they lit a fire to thaw the meat bricks. After melting, the stuff turns gray-black and looks like pus. At this time, they added the black powder they had ground before - as if they were adding something even more poisonous to a pot of poison. The whole pot of minced meat started to boil, as if it was boiled with asphalt.
But in the process, Li Boxen felt strong spiritual power. The added things should have forced out some of the spiritual energy in the minced meat.
After the boiling was over, they remade these into black meat bricks. And Li Bochen witnessed these things slowly turning from black to gray and translucent at low temperatures, until they turned into milky white, aspic-like things. He tasted a small piece and found that after it melted in his mouth, it tasted like aspic without any seasoning, but had a slightly smoky flavor.
Compared to the monster meat itself, this thing is simply dragon liver and phoenix marrow.
The people in the bunker were finally able to relieve their hunger, and everyone was happy and praised the king for his wisdom. It was in this atmosphere that Li Boxen understood what Yang Baoping meant by "you will know later".
