Chapter two hundred and eight old friends

The man in black robe stopped when he saw him looking at him. But he neither spoke nor left.

The two of them were apart for more than ten steps and looked at each other in the shadow of the forest for a while. Then Li Bochen said, "Fang Die, is it you?"

The man in black robe shook the reins, and the horse slowly walked forward three steps, and stopped again. His face was exposed to the moonlight - it was not Fang Die. He spoke, "Brother Li, it's been a long time since we saw you."

Li Bochen stared at his face, remained silent for a moment, and said, "Ying Ling."

Ying smiled and said, "Brother Li did not forget me, and it would be a waste of our lives."

Li Bochen reached out and pulled the knife, then pushed the horse's head, and said in a deep voice: "Yes, you have a share of these days?"

Ying Ling hurriedly said, "Brother Li, don't get me wrong, put down the knife first - now I can't stand your thunder strike!"

But Li Bochen still held the hilt tightly and said, "You used the formation to trap Shanjun in Wujing Mountain. In Zhangshan, someone also used your formation. I remember you said that the formation was passed down by your family."

Ying Lan jumped off his horse, stood in the road and spread his hand, and said, "Brother Li, let's not talk about those things for now - someone outside Sanguan City reminds you once, someone reminds you once at the entrance of the inn, are you not curious about who did it? You have to treat my painstaking efforts as a donkey's liver and lungs, and you will deal with the leader."

He said this, tilted his head and closed his eyes.

Li Bochen just stared at him silently.

Ying Qing raised his eyes again and said, "I said, it's not because... I just heard you cry all the way, and I plan to kill me to silence me?"

Li Bochen slowly returned the knife to the sheath and said coldly: "So what? Who has never cried in this life?"

He said this and turned his horse forward.

Ying Qing was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly jumped onto the horse and chased him, "Hey, Brother Li, you really don't ask me!"

Li Bochen smiled: "There is nothing to ask."

Ying Qing rode his horse and walked with him, turned his face and stared at him for a while, and sighed: "Oh... he is a great hero. He has a long love for his children, so he let it go. I thought you had to get drunk for a few days before you could come back to your senses. Brother Li's heart is as good as gold and iron, and he will definitely achieve great things."

Li Bochen was silent for a moment and said, "What's the use of buying drunk? On Beiyuan, the people around him died and cried and had to eat."

Ying frowned and said twice: "Oh, it turns out that you are going to work hard. If you want to do this, you have to listen to me."

Li Bochen sneered: "What do you hear? Don't you call yourself the leader of Xuanming and act openly? Why don't you show up until this time?"

Ying sighed and said, "Oh, you blame me for this. Brother Li, this is not a matter of being bright or not, or being open and honest - this is the matter of Princess Changlong, the emperor's affairs. How many courage do I have to jump out? To be honest, I woke you up twice. It was because I was thinking of the old love that I took my life to take the risk!"

Old love? There is really no old love between the two. But Li Bochen knew that Yingle might have been involved, but lying to deceive himself should have nothing to do with him. If he really has any malicious intentions, he should start when he is near Wujing Mountain.

He thought for a while and whispered: "Princess Changlong?"

Ying Qing then laughed: "Yes, Brother Li, your wife is Princess Changlong."

Li Bochen's heart shrank violently and started to hurt again. He took a breath slowly and said, "I haven't heard of it."

Ying Ling hurriedly said, "That's okay, I'll tell you--Princess Changlong, Fang's name is Sui Manshu, guess who is her biological father?"

Li Bochen gritted his teeth and refused to speak.

Ying sighed: "Okay, her biological father is Sui Wujiu."

He said this and paused again. Seeing that Li Bochen ignored him, he whispered: "Princess Changlong is the emperor's person! Sui Wujiu's nine children were raised by the emperor. This Princess Changlong was the least favored. Why? Because her mother is the surname of King Yu!"

"Brother Li, have you never heard of royal marriage? I tell you that the children born from marriage are equivalent to waste in the eyes of the royal family. Why? Think about it, they have half of the royal bloodline and half of the other royal bloodline. One day, the king died before he could convey his luck. That luck will definitely be transmitted to others, right? But before the serious royal bloodline dies, it will not be transmitted to these people - because the bloodline is impure! Do you understand? The two emperors don't like them very much!"

"So this Princess Changlong was not favored in front of Sui Wujiu, and was sent to the King of Sui early on. The King of Sui ignored her and gave it to the Emperor. But the Emperor loved her and trained her to become a capable confidant, and also named her the princess. What she did was to do for the Emperor... Brother Li should know that he was also doing things for Kong Minghui."

Li Bochen held the reins tightly, and the knuckles rustled. Ying Qing was startled and said, "Hey, Brother Li, don't think about it. This favor is not the other one. There is nothing to do with it! She is Princess Changlong, and Emperor Gao naturally treats her like a daughter, hehe."

Li Bochen felt relieved. He vented lightly and said, "Yes, please."

"Why!"

"What do you want when you say this to me? This knife on me?"

He laughed: "I want this knife when I was in Wujing Mountain. But after staying in your hands for so long, it should be dead. What do I want it to do?"

Li Bochen thought for a while and said, "Okay. Then tell me, what do you want."

Ying smiled and said, "This is too disgusting. My leader Xuanming is traveling around the world and encountering unfair things. He draws his sword to help him. This is morality, what should I do if I want it?"

He didn't tell the truth, and he wouldn't tell the truth. Shouldn't he be a lonely man like he said in Wujingshan? Li Bochen felt that he must represent a force. If he had encountered such a thing in the past, he would probably leave when he hit a horse. But now he sighed in his heart, thinking, Xiaoman, tell me not to be anxious when encountering things, and to endure it. OK, then I won't be anxious, to endure it.

He said, "Okay, Brother Ying, I'll say in other words - what do you want me?"

He said, "That's right. Listen to me again - I knew what Sui Manshu was going to do to you for a long time. But if I say this, I will not be able to survive if I ruin her business. I can only remind you secretly. Unfortunately, you are fascinated by beauty... Alas, it's not your fault. Her mother is from Yu Guo, she is a master of Liudu, and she practices both Taisu magic and magic! Taisu Dharma is the most charming mind, and it can also be disguised and changed. If it were me, it would be impossible to resist."

Li Bochen's heart ached again - what I saw was not what she really looked like? The next moment became tighter - if she was not Lin Qiao... Where did the real Lin Qiao go?

He already had an answer in his mind. But just like after he knew that Xiaoman was Sui Manshu, he still didn't want to call her by those three words, nor did he want to think about what she would do to Zhen Lin Qiao.

How could her temperament be like...? Is her temperament fake?

He couldn't help it and said, "Brother Ying, I'll ask you, Lin Qiaoshe..."

Ying smiled: "Oh, do you want to meet that Lin Qiao? But it's coincidental, I know where she is."

Li Bochen was stunned. Isn’t she dead? He felt a little relaxed in his heart and said, “Where is it?”

Ying Ling thought about it and said seriously: "Brother Li, don't go to see him. This Lin Qiao is not Billy."

Li Bochen said: "This is my business."

Ying smiled and said, "Okay. But you have to promise me one thing."

"you say."

"One day you get Li Guo, you have to help me find something-the same thing as the magic knife in your hand."

What he wanted was this? Li Bochen didn't know why the "same thing" in his mouth was so important, so he actually asked for a promise that would take a long time. But he just said: "I promise you."

Ying Qing didn't say anything, and looked at him with a smile.

Li Bochen was stunned for a moment before reacting and said in a deep voice: "I swear by Beichen's name, and I want me to see something like my magic sword in Li Kingdom Middle School, and I will give it to you all."

Ying Qingshu said in a breath: "That's good. Brother Li, that Lin Qiao, is now in Guofu Town outside Kaiyuan City, Yingzhou. It's easy to find her. She has a manor and can ask casually."

Manor. Li Bochen sighed in his heart: "Okay."

The two rode their horses together for a while, and Li Bochen bowed to him: "There will be a date later."

Ying Qing was stunned and said, "You really don't ask me anything else?"

Li Bochen said: "You will naturally say what you want to say. If you don't know how to say it, it will be useless to ask."

Ying Gan shook his head: "You have changed a lot now and when you were in Wujing Mountain. Well, we will see you again in the future. But... there is one thing I have to tell you."

He took out a piece of paper from his arms and kneaded it into a ball, threw it into Li Bochen's arms, and said with a smile: "Have you ever thought that since a practitioner has tempered his muscles and bones, he can see inward... he can keep the Yang Pass and not drain it anymore? If I were Sui Manshu, it would not take so much effort. I guess she didn't expect you to know... Hahaha, this is my second time to teach you how to practice!"

He said this, turned his horse's head and jumped into the forest. Li Bochen thought he had left, but after a while, he heard a thud and a scream. I wonder if he had fallen somewhere with his horse.

He was originally in great pain, but after talking to Ying Ran for a while, he knew that Xiaoman had no worries about his life, so he was not as uncomfortable as before. He listened to these two more times, and couldn't help but pull the corners of his mouth.

He was not sure what kind of person he was. The reason why he didn't ask was because his behavior reminded him of another person - the ghost tribe Bi Hai.

At the beginning, Bi Hai wanted to ask himself to "clearize the universe", and told him a lot of secrets. Now he is doing exactly the same as his. Have he been observing himself secretly these days? When Xiaoman left, he ran out to tell some inside story... Is he wanting "a thing like a magic knife" or his slight gratitude when thousands of arrows pierce the heart?

If the latter, or both, what will he do in the end? Bi Hai said that he hopes for the world to be harmonious. What should he say? His style of conduct is very similar to a conspirator who wanders among the forces and seeks opportunities to gain profits. In fact, if a few more people jump out of the forest now and say that they are also observing in secret these days, each representing one force, he would not be surprised.

He finally understood that his identity like himself was destined to be surrounded by conspiracies in the days to come. Any "stable and peaceful" days in the past were just a fool. He thought he was not a fool, but he was definitely not the most intelligent person in the world. Since he couldn't guess everyone's thoughts, he simply stopped guessing. All he could do was to respond to changes in the same way. This was a stupid way, but there was no way.

But in this way, he has to make himself the mainstay. Even if he can't, he has to become a rock first.

He thought for a while in his heart, shook the reins and ran out.

...

When we arrived at that lake, seven days passed. Ten days ago, there were still many dead leaves and weeds in the forest, but now it is green. The lake is clear and shallow, and it looks more like a mirror than Jinghu Lake. The grass slopes on the lakeside are full of flowers, and the grass is no longer on the instep.

Li Bochen led his horse to search slowly along the lakeside. After searching back and forth, he saw a pile of dark brown soil under the grass. It had rained two times these days, and the pile of ash had almost been washed away. Fortunately, the wooden sign was also brushed into the fire by Lin Qiao's clothes that night, and the surface was burned to pieces, so he was not worried about rotting.

He squatted down and picked up the wooden sign as big as a palm, and saw that it was covered with soil. He did not rush to wipe the soil off, but sat facing the lake for a while, and then a while later, he fell asleep in the grass.

When the sun rose to the sky, he was awakened by the sound of birds singing. Li Bochen opened his eyes and looked at the sky for a while, sat up and held the wooden sign in his hand, and found that the wet mud on it was dry.

He let out a light breath, rubbed off the soil on the surface, revealing shallow engravings—

The position of the kind mother Yu Jue.

Li Bochen stared at these six words and looked at them for a while, smiled slightly, and said to himself, OK, Xiaoman... That night, you were not using tricks. Are you really comforting your mother. Are you really happy to be married to me?

...

On the tenth day after leaving Mengjiatun, he came to Guofu Town outside Kaiyuan City, Yingzhou.

It is easy to find out where the manor is. Everyone knows that a beautiful woman has moved in and is very generous. Li Bochen rode his horse through the town, walked out of the town three or four miles and saw the house with green tiles and white walls.

The house was very big, surrounded by green mountains, and there were large areas of farmland. Spring was in full bloom, and farmers were farming in the fields. When he was only twenty or thirty steps away from the gate of the courtyard, he hesitated for a while. He wanted to see Lin Qiao, but he was afraid that he would really see her. What waves would be caused by the calming heart these days.

He looked at the house from afar and said to himself, I can walk over and knock on the door, pretending to ask for directions, it is not her who wants to open the door... Oh, of course it is not her. How could she open the house by herself? So what should I say, do I want to stay in the room?

He sighed, not knowing whether he wanted to see Lin Qiao or the one who "looks exactly the same as Xiaoman".

After staying for a while, he still held the reins and was about to take a horse and leave. He knew from the people in the town that Lin Qiao was really fine, so don’t bother her.

But the white horse had just taken two steps, Li Bochen suddenly heard a female voice not far away saying, "Brother Lin?"
