Chapter 12 Old Accounts
Here comes. Li Bochen thought to himself that the people of the King of Sui are here.
He immediately turned over and reached out to catch the man's throat. But the speed of the visitor was faster than that of him. He grabbed his wrist with his backhand and shouted softly: "I am a friend but not an enemy, so don't let me blame myself!"
Li Bochen was stunned and had no time to take action. The man also put down his wrist and stepped back: "Can you know what the situation is now?"
Half of Li Bochen's stunned moment was sincere. Because the voice of the visitor was very familiar - it was Yan Baiheng. The 10,000 Eastern Prefecture troops stationed in Wuliang City were divided into three armies in front, middle and back. Yan Baiheng was a hundred generals of the logistics department of the rear army. When he was the commander, he had cooperated with him several times.
He thought the King of Sui should be a soldier, but he felt relieved when he thought about it. Being an officer is much safer than being a soldier, while being a logistics officer in the rear army is safer.
He turned over and got up and said in a deep voice: "Yan Baiheng? What are you doing? What do you mean?"
"General Li, let's talk about it. You should think that Sui Wujiu is going to be promoted to your official position, right? But I guess he will send someone to take your life as soon as the morning is at the latest."
Li Bochen wiped the snow water from his face: "General Yan, I don't know what you are talking about."
Yan Baiheng smiled in the darkness: "But I know that Sui Buxiu returned to the city from the original, it would not be as simple as they said to kill a demon spirit. General Li, Sui Buxiu was captured, right? And you are lucky enough to rescue him?"
Li Bochen couldn't help but sigh in his heart. Yan Baiheng is really powerful. In less than a day when he and Sui Buxi returned to Wuliang City, he had guessed the matter almost exactly... Maybe the King of Sui was not the only one who was attracted by him, and there should be someone around Che Beigong.
Seeing that he didn't say anything, Yan Baiheng lowered his voice: "The Duke of Chebei, Sui Wujiu, was sent to Wuliang City because he was not in harmony with the current king. He was usually cautious and afraid of causing any criticism. Everyone in the city knew about it. If Sui Buxi was really captured and lost his royal family's face, their father and son would destroy the city and fall into the enemy. Can this glorious status be maintained?"
"General Li think about it. Can you still keep your living habits if you are an outsider? You tell me that you are next door, behind the mountain, are ambushed by crossbowmen. If you don't believe it, you can go and see it yourself! Besides, think about their attitude towards you today. Isn't there anything unusual?"
Li Bochen was originally worried that Yan Baiheng would have been discovered when he came in. But he knew the arrangement of ambush troops around the yard. It seemed that he had used some means to sneak in. He thought a few times and said, "...ah? How is this possible? Che Beigong..."
He stopped and turned to look out the window.
Yan Baiheng breathed a little relieved when he was like this - under his guidance, this person should have figured out something wrong. He didn't want to give Li Bochen more time to think about it, so he struck while the iron was hot: "It seems that you understand too. If you want to live, I can only save you!"
Then he saw Li Bochen stunned for a while before saying, "General Yan, who are you? Why should I believe you?"
He took the bait. Yan Baiheng thought to himself, Li Bochen is really a reckless man.
He said in a deep voice: "I am doing things for the king and I am ordered to supervise Sui Wujiu in Wuliang City. You have told you everything you know, and I will take you away immediately and go to the capital!"
He was indeed the suspicious liner of the King of Sui. Li Bochen originally thought that if there were such people in the city, he would definitely want to figure out what had happened in the few days when Sui Buxiu disappeared. Perhaps he would send a message to him and ask him secretly, and he could ask them for help. But he did not expect that Yan Baiheng was very capable and could dive in under the noses of the guards.
If he could really take him away, it would be a way. Of course, Li Bochen didn't want to go to Wangdu to be a witness to stir himself into the deeper muddy water, but once he left this place, it would be much easier to get rid of Yan Baiheng.
He said in a panic: "I don't know much about this. During the war a few days ago, I was ordered to leave the city and wait in the area of Yinmaxia, saying that I was accepting Sui Buxiu. Later, I heard that Sui Buxiu was captured by monsters... But then a few monsters escorted Sui Buxiu to Yinmaxia. I only realized that he was not captured at that time... There was another demon spirit among them who cut off his head and said that he would lend you a head. After the matter was done-"
He made up this point and acted like he became more and more frightened as he spoke. He suddenly stopped talking. Yan Baiheng hurriedly asked, "What's the matter? What's the matter?"
"You take me away first, and I will tell you all when I am safe!"
Yan Baiheng cursed in his heart. He originally wanted to ask Li Bochen the reason and get out of it - he guessed that Sui Buxiu should have been captured. As long as this matter is confirmed, Li Bochen is not important. He reported the news truthfully and waited for the reward here.
But I didn't expect what Li Bochen said to make his scalp numb!
Judging from what he said, did Sui Buxiu reach any agreement with the monsters? How is this possible?
But he felt that Li Bochen would not use such lies to deceive himself. When he was dealing with this former commander a few years ago, he knew that this man was a reckless man, had no other thoughts, and was full of "killing enemies and promoting". If he could have such a quick mind as making up lies, unless he had changed his body under his skin.
He thought again, and felt that what Li Bochen said was not impossible - Sui Wujiu, the Duke of Chebei, was the most likely person to inherit the throne, but he was defeated because of the emperor's support. Jin Shang forced him to force him... If this person was full of depression and anxious...
You should know that the Demon Kingdom is not all monsters, the ruling class is Rakshasa people, and the Sumeru people are actually not much different from others!
If what Li Bochen said was true, it would be a disaster for the Sui Kingdom and even the six kingdoms of the Emperor. But it would be a great opportunity for him! If this matter is found out in his own hands and rewarded afterwards, even if the merits are exploited layer by layer, the glory that falls to him will be a rare glory in his life. Then he will no longer have to stay in this bitter and cold land in Beiyuan, and no longer have to hold his head to fight against the monsters!
It’s really possible to take him away - how can you get a tiger’s son if you don’t enter the tiger’s den!?
Yan Baiheng was about to make a ruthless heart, but suddenly another thought came to mind.
Something is wrong!
"How could Sui Wujiu feel at ease asking General Li to do such a thing?" He smiled coldly, "I'm here to save your life, are you just coaxing me like this?"
Li Bochen hurriedly said, "No, General Yan, I didn't lie to you. I'm a Sui Wujiu long ago. He doesn't believe in others, but he won't believe in me!"
Yan Baiheng only stared at him in the darkness without saying a word. Li Bochen realized that the person in front of him was indeed not something to coax—hearding what he said should have been in a stir, but he could immediately wake up. For such people, it is difficult to win the trust of their usual words, but because they are smart enough, they can call him to deceive themselves.
