The meat bricks made from the eight monster beasts filled the entire room, but in just one night, one-third was missing - it was not enough for people to eat.
After eating a small piece, Li Bochen patrolled the bunker and returned to his room. His room was for former military officers, and there was a talisman lamp on the table. After decades, the talisman has not been damaged, and it can continue to be used with just some spiritual power injected into it. But the light was weaker than the one in Mengjiatun, and it could only dimly illuminate an area around the table.
Several guards he selected brought him boiled water. He took off his armor, took off his clothes, wiped himself clean, and put on the cotton lining he found in the castle again. He sat on the edge of the bed and began to think about things.
In fact, about ten days ago, he was considering whether to use the power of Snow Sword God again to intervene in this snowstorm. After asking Xu Cheng, the answer he received was that the cause of the snowstorm was due to Beichen's luck and the force of the snowstorm - the snowstorm might have happened in the first place, but the Sword God just made this possibility become Bigger, and it worked. And to make the wind and snow disappear, it is not something that can be done by taking advantage of the situation. At most, the storms can be reduced and the weather can be relatively better for a few or ten days.
Regarding this point, Li Boxen has been hesitating. Because he has already had the experience of being possessed by the Fearless Lord, and knows that it is a very "terrible" thing.
This horror not only refers to the powerful power displayed by the spiritual god, but also refers to the change in a person's human nature. The so-called fearless true king is actually himself, another version of himself with powerful power. But even so, that night he briefly lost himself, as if he was a completely different person.
There were only about 400 people who followed him to the bunker, and there were probably only a few dozen who escaped to the south bank of the Qianjiang River. A considerable number of the rest died from natural disasters caused by his magical powers at that time. When fighting with Zhiyasi and Sumeru priests, he regarded those around him as ants and didn't care about their life or death at all.
Li Bochen had comforted himself on this issue - if he hadn't taken action, even these four hundred people wouldn't have been able to escape. But he knows he could have done better if he hadn't been "lost."
The influence is not limited to that time, but also continues to the present. He knew that his temperament had undergone some changes, and he seemed to have become more "rational". No matter Li Ding, Fang Yu, or Sui Buxiu, they should all feel that this change is beneficial, and Li Bochen himself does not want to deny it. However, the question is, if the spirit god comes again next time, will his temperament continue to change? What will it look like in the end?
Therefore, now he must be more cautious than before in dealing with the power of gods that transcend the living world. This kind of power is no longer as simple as a "double-edged sword", but simply a big stick used to crush ants. If you are not careful, it will cause terrible destructiveness.
On the other hand, he had not thought about whether to go or stay before. After meeting Yang Baoping today, he was inclined to follow them north and get a piece of land.
The attitude of Yang Baoping and her female warriors towards "people" is very subtle. She seems to have learned a lot about people from the "old man"'s mouth, and has some kind of longing for the prosperous six countries on the other side of the mountain. But she didn't seem to have a clear understanding of how far this "prosperity" had reached, and she might even think that it was just "better" than where they came from.
When it comes to the specific level of individual people, her attitude becomes contemptuous. She and her soldiers are very powerful, but these soldiers are a weak group compared to them. She seems unwilling to bring these "burdens" with her. But even so, she still restrained herself from such contempt, which made Li Bochen have a better impression of her and strengthened his idea of going north.
However, he now needs to find a bargaining chip to get her to agree to help these people.
Just then there was a knock on the door. Li Boxen heard Yang Baoping's voice: "Are you there?"
He jumped off the bed and opened the door. He only had time to say "what's the matter", and the female warrior squeezed in as if she was back in her own room.
Li Bochen thought for a while and closed the door.
Yang Baoping walked to the middle of the room, looked around, and said, "It's a bit cold here."
Li Bochen didn't know what she wanted to do, but his guess was that she couldn't leave him tomorrow. She is becoming more and more mature now, which may be related to the harsh natural environment of the North. Only when people are more closely connected can they survive together. So he said, "Isn't it cold over there?"
"It's colder than here." Yang Baoping said as he walked around the house with his hands behind his back, as if inspecting the territory. "But we have floor heating there, so the house is very warm. There are many places with floor heating, but they are not usable. many."
Li Bochen immediately realized that she was here to negotiate terms. The reason for refusing during the day was to put forward conditions - my impression of her was correct, she was upright and forthright, but not stupid by any means.
So he smiled and didn't speak. He just walked to the bed and sat down, making a listening gesture.
In fact, Yang Baoping still seemed a little impatient. After refusing to help, she should have waited until she approached her to make an offer instead of rushing here. This meant that she was not as indifferent to the four hundred people in the bunker as she had been during the day.
And this is also true. In the past, most of these people were from good families or wealthy farmers. They mastered various production technologies and were considered talents no matter where they were.
She also seemed to regret that she had made the condition so easily. When Li Bochen said nothing, she walked to the table and stared at him again, as if trying to put pressure on him with her eyes. But Li Boxen was unmoved and knew that he had to firmly grasp the initiative in this negotiation.
The two looked at each other for a moment, and Yang Baoping suddenly laughed and strode up to him, held his face in his hands, and kissed him condescendingly.
It wasn't until their lips touched that Li Bochen realized what had happened. He felt disbelief, then shock, and then wondered if this was some kind of conspiracy. So it wasn't until he was pushed down on the bed, with Yang Baoping straddling him and starting to unbutton his own buttons, that he suddenly stood up and planned to push her down.
At this time, he was even thinking about whether his refusal would embarrass her greatly. And whether the force used this time is too much, whether it is too rude for a woman who likes him.
So he ignored another problem - Yang Baoping was also very strong, only slightly inferior to him. Instead of being pushed away, the female warrior took this as some kind of signal. She laughed and pulled off her top. The exposed skin is smooth, tight, and almost translucent, and the muscle outline is hidden underneath, showing a healthy and brave beauty.
Then he tore open Li Bochen's collar and said, "You can come with me. I don't have many people who can compare to you - you can also bring a hundred people with you, is that okay?"
Li Boxen couldn't explain his feelings at this time. He shut his mouth tightly, gathered strength, and finally waited for the right opportunity when Yang Baoping leaned over to kiss his neck. He slammed her aside and quickly left the bed and stood at the table.
He instinctively wanted to grab the collar, but controlled it. He was thinking about what to say or how to behave.
At this time Yang Baoping turned around from the bed, looking a little confused. But then he seemed to have figured out something, and he smiled helplessly: "Okay, I heard that you people have a lot of rules, but I didn't expect so many - I just said a few words to you. How about that? , let’s say a few more words and start again?”
Li Boxen kind of understood what it felt like to be a woman. He took another step back and said in a deep voice: "Miss Yang, please respect yourself."
Yang Baoping was stunned: "Miss Yang...haha, interesting."
He tilted his head again: "Okay, I also know what self-respect means. But I don't understand what's wrong with you? Even men from the Six Kingdoms also like women, right? Did I hurt you?"
Li Bochen took a breath and said patiently: "I have a wife. Maybe the customs there are different, but the fact that I have a wife means -"
Yang Baoping said oh and waved his hand: "Okay, I understand."
She picked up her clothes and put them on, and looked at Li Bochen while buttoning them. The flush on her face slowly faded: "This kind of thing is actually true - I have heard about your people's husband and wife before - you are really It's weird because of this kind of thing... and... how should I put it... anyway. But I can understand it, ah."
At this time, Li Bochen felt that he had treated her too roughly, and couldn't help but said: "I'm sorry. I thought you were here to talk about tomorrow."
Yang Baoping buttoned up and stood up: "I'm just here to talk about tomorrow. It's a pity."
She looked up and down at Li Bochen with a look of regret and reluctance, and shook her head: "It would be better if you didn't have a wife. I don't mind calling you my wife, or calling me yours, according to your customs. wife."
Li Bochen understood what she meant by "unless" and "you will know later" she said during the day - asking himself and some soldiers to be their...husbands? wife? Then you can follow them back to their place of residence?
A feeling of slighted anger arose in him. But this anger is a bit unreasonable and unreasonable - isn't this how men in the Six Kingdoms treat women? And this is not the Six Kingdoms... It was also at this moment that he had a deeper understanding of the survival of these female warriors and the ethnic groups behind them.
So when Yang Baoping was about to open the door and leave, Li Boxen said: "We can talk about more than that."
She was rejected by herself and now behaves generously and indifferently. However, Li Bochen didn't know whether she was pretending or whether she would become more and more angry after returning. He had to convince her while she was still in his house.
Yang Baoping stopped, turned around and said, "Huh?"
Li Bochen's mind was spinning rapidly, and he finally firmly grasped an idea.
