Chapter 229 Not for your own good
Li Bochen gently patted the handrail and said, "Brother Sui, do you still remember what happened to us in Wuliang City?"
Sui Buxiu smiled bitterly: "Remember."
Li Bochen said: "At that time, your father wanted to kill me because I was an insignificant little person. But later, Brother Sui let me go because I realized that I could use Yin soldiers. Did you think I had the luck of Beichen at that time?"
Sui Buxiu said, "I thought about this. But I think more of it. You are a spiritual master. If you have the help of a spiritual master like your nature, it may be of great use. But even if you can't become friends - after all, you shouldn't die if you save me."
Li Bochen nodded and said, "So I think this is the reason. Gao Xin is now designing me and he will want to get rid of me and Li Shengyi in ten months. This is because we two can also be called small people in his eyes."
"But one day he found out that I was strong enough and no longer a small person, and he was unlikely to get Li Guo, and his attitude would change. I guess not only wouldn't kill me at that time, but instead would show kindness to me. You ask me what to do... I have no way at the moment. I have thought about chasing her back before, but I can't hold on even if I recovered her back. Then I can only wait ten months before seeing you again - at that time, either Gao Xin will give her back to me, or I will lead my troops to ask him for it."
Sui Buxiu was silent for a moment and said, "If you want others to know, everything you do now is for a woman, and you will probably laugh at you."
Li Bochen smiled and said, "Wuwu may not be a real hero. If Brother Sui wants to laugh, just laugh, it's nothing."
Sui Buxiu said hurriedly: "No, I think you are right. Ruthlessness may not be a true hero... For the sake of the person you love, it's not bad that even if the whole world is enemies."
He stood up, saluted Li Bochen, and said in a deep voice: "Brother Li, I thank you for your sister-in-law."
He stood up and said, "That's what we say, we are also considered in-laws. When my father comes, I will tell him about this-"
Li Bochen said: "Brother Sui, why not let me know for now."
Sui Buxiu was stunned, thought for a while, and said, "Okay. Then according to your wishes - then, let's talk about the formation tonight."
The two talked about the time when Sui Buxiu said goodbye and left after about four o'clock in the afternoon.
Li Bochen sent him out, stood at the door for a while, and looked at the two houses down the slope. Fang Die seemed to gather people in front of the house and asked them to line up to say something. Li Bochen guessed that he was probably saying "repaying the favor of the king and the marquis." Some villagers around him surrounded him and looked from afar, probably knowing that he was going to use troops tonight.
This is good for this barrier, and there is no expectation that someone will leak the news. Li Bochen thought about the way Sui Buxiu looked when he talked to him before, and felt that his attitude seemed to be closer. It was because he told him about Xiaoman.
In fact, when I talk about this, I wanted to ask Xiaoman about it, and half was to prepare tonight. Taking eighteen people to seize the armored cart is not a big battle, but if he was defeated, it would be very troublesome in the future, so he wanted to make sure that Sui Buxu would not have any bad things.
Now, he really plans to help himself.
He then said to Sui Buxiu, "You know me for the time being" - he wanted to use this as the secret between the two. If Sui Buxiu promised on the surface, but turned around and told Sui Wujiu, he would have no loss. But if he really didn't mention it... it would mean that their father and son were not close.
Duke Chebei was a hero who sent Sui to do the qualifying work. It would be unhappy if he was himself.
Do you think of these words as "disaster"? Even if you don't count, you can probably get closer to the two of you.
Li Bochen thought to himself, I don’t know if this little trick seems to be both childish and unfamiliar to my grandfather. However, Sui Buxiu reminded himself to be careful of someone using the word "etiquette" to "control". Now that he has used this trick, is it considered "ritual exchanges"?
In fact, if you put aside Sui Buxiu's identity, in the past, he was indeed a good friend. However, with his identity as he and he could not really become a close friend. However, now, while guarding against each other and saying "true and sincere" words, it is really a very strange relationship.
He thought about this, sighed softly, and said to himself: Xiaoman, I have changed. I just hope to get better.
...
The bell rang four times. Chang Xiu listened to the footsteps and put down his pen. Seeing that Chang Qiuwu had already put on iron armor, tied his sword around his waist, walked to the door and said, "Old ancestor, I should go to the side of the king."
Chang Xiu thought about it but didn't answer, and looked out the window. Seeing the sunlight in the courtyard and the sparse shadows of flowers and trees slanted, he sighed and said, "This day is so fast. Alas, this life is so fast. Tingwei's appearance when he was young was just in front of him. In the blink of an eye, it has been more than twenty years."
Chang Qiuwu was stunned and didn't say anything.
Chang Xiu said again: "Bochen's child is exactly the same as his mother. He looks gentle, but he is tough and tough in his bones. He is all good, but I'm afraid that he will be in Beiyuan for a long time and become a martial artist. Oh, it's not a good thing."
Chang Qiuwu thought for a while and said, "Oncestor, are you talking about his military service tonight? Don't worry, I will protect him well. He is also a smart person, and sooner or later you will understand your good intentions."
Chang Xiu said: "At present, this is probably the one who is smart. If Bochen has no brains and is the one who is responsible for both big and small things, I can guarantee that he will have a stable foundation within ten years and become a new climate. When I go to the Netherworld in the future, you can continue to assist him. He is at ease to be the leader of Li Guo and the descendant of Beichen, and can practice with peace of mind."
"But now, I'm a little worried. You and I know what it means to take the armored car tonight. It's okay if this matter is safe. But he refused to tell all the strategies he arranged, and only realized that he could accomplish things. But he didn't think about what if he failed, what would happen to the people here? We'd better clean up the mess."
Chang Qiuwu said, "Defeated? I don't think it's possible to be my ancestor. Xuantu City has only one thousand soldiers. He said that there are nearly two hundred soldiers in Zhu Hou. Those 1,000 soldiers have to be assigned to guard the camp. Zhu Hou's men attacked at night. Even if they can't win, they have to make the soldiers in a hurry. The king and Hou probably won't ask the eighteen people to fight hard, just to seize the chariot. If they can't, they can just retreat. What's more, I'm there."
Chang Xiu said: "I will tell you about this matter-Wei Zongshan will come to Xuantu's army."
Chang Qiuwu was stunned: "Wei Zongshan!?"
He frowned again and said, "This little man!"
"Yes. This person used to be the commander of the Li Guo army, but now he is in Lingzhao. During the national crisis, he led 30,000 subordinates to surrender to the enemy and sent the Sui army to Baibao Pass. Such rebel generals are not valued in the Sui army, and are only given to the commander." Chang Xiu smiled, "I sent him here this time and stayed in the military camp of a thousand towns, which is also a great grievance. I asked someone to ask me two days ago - I am also a person with both rats."
Chang Qiuwu said: "There is actually this person here... The ancestor should tell the Lord about this and ask him to make a long-term plan!"
Chang Xiu waved his hand: "No. I want to use this person to kill Bochen's temperament. But you don't have to worry about him - at that time, if the two fight, you will say to Wei Zongshan, you are Chang Qiuwu. I have brought him a letter, and he will not make things difficult for Bochen when he sees you. At that time, take him back."
Chang Qiuwu frowned and said, "Is this Wei Zongshan one of those people?"
Chang Xiu nodded and said, "The rest of the day will come one after another."
Chang Qiuwu thought for a moment and said, "Old ancestor, do we really don't tell you about this matter? I don't think it's right? Isn't this done... it's done..."
Chang Xiu said: "Qiuwu, the king is still young. Although his temperament and character are of great benefit, he still needs experience after all. For example, if we planned a few days ago, we cannot let him know about the things we planned a few days ago. You also know that if he knows his character, he will definitely not allow it. Then, we have to share the burden for him."
"If Li Guo is still here and he is the crown prince, I will let him go and let him go and ask him to experience it. If he has more setbacks, he will teach him a few more lessons. Anyway, it is still long. But our current situation is that we cannot make a mistake. At this time, I want him to just look at it and learn it. We will do these things slowly so that he can do it in the future."
"But Bochen is a smart child, and he also has a martial arts habit. He always wants to show his sharpness. But now is not the time, so he must be obedient - sit down first and listen to me ask you, what is the way of the king and the minister?"
Chang Qiuwu sat down slowly with the sword, thought for a while, and said, "Old ancestor, Qiuwu dared not speak nonsense."
Chang Xiu smiled and said, "Being a king like a father, being a minister like a son? Over the years, Emperor Xin wanted to do this. But the surnames of the six kings today were just aristocratic families thousands of years ago. For example, my Chang family was also aristocratic family that dominated one area at that time. Today's royal families have been given the throne by many aristocratic families like ours."
"Subjects are not slaves of the king. The king has the way to control the subordinates, and the ministers must also have the way to control the superiors. As the saying goes, accompanying the king is like accompanying a tiger, but this tiger can also be tamed. Alas, the previous king was a fierce tiger, but unfortunately no one tamed him. In the end, the five kingdoms came to attack and the country was destroyed and died. This lesson has been once, and I will never want to ask Bochen to repeat the same mistake."
"It may be difficult for you to accept what happened tonight for a while. But you must know that this is not our unjust intention, but just for his own good. To put aside the word "Monk" and only discuss family affection, I want to give my grandson a small lesson, so that he can calm down and wait for us to prepare everything for him. One day, he will be able to bear the great responsibility and will naturally return the authority to him."
"Qiuwu, you can think about it again. Didn't we hide the matter we planned a few days ago? That matter is for his own good, and now this matter is for his own good."
Chang Qiuwu was silent for a moment and couldn't help but say, "Old ancestor... is it really true? There are only a thousand people here right now... Do you want to be a powerful minister if you do this?"
Chang Xiu smiled and said, "It is precisely because everything starts that we can set rules for others. As for the powerful ministers... Bo Chen has the luck of Beichen. Even if you and I want to be powerful ministers, how can we do it? Don't worry too much. Okay, it's not too early, go quickly. Remember what I said."
Chang Qiuwu slowly stood up, thought about it again, and then said, "Okay, ancestor, I'm going now."
...
Li Bochen stood on the slope and looked into the distance. He saw the sun begin to fall into the mountains, and a cool breeze gradually erupted. The weeds in the meadow also swayed slightly, like an invisible wolf galloping on it.
He said, "Fang Die, when will it be?"
Fang Die stood behind him, lifted the lid of the wooden box in his hand and looked at it, saying, "Report to General, at 5:25."
Li Bochen nodded and said, "The border army started at six o'clock, so the town army should be almost the same. At that time, Zhu Hou should take action."
He said to Chang Qiuwu, who was beside him: "If you have to follow me, then promise me one thing - if I meet someone, don't take action. Unless you want to protect yourself, you must ask me to help me."
Chang Qiuwu smiled: "June, obey the order."
Li Bochen turned around and looked forward again. The camp on Xuantu's side was about two miles away from the entrance to the secret realm. He had seen those monsters last night and knew that although they were not as big as monsters, they were not inferior to those of them in terms of speed and viciousness.
However, after all, monsters have a unified order, but monsters fight on their own. Zhu Hou should sacrifice some people and use them as bait to lead the monster to the Xuantu Army formation. At that time, the Zhen Army may be a little panicked, but it should not be defeated and will eventually stand firm.
This time will not exceed two hours. If you want to seize the armored car, you must fight quickly.
As for the armored chariots, he first said he wanted to seize the chariots in the afternoon and then sent some soldiers to see if there were any detailed military operations like Yu Meng among the soldiers. But then he sent the Yin soldiers to guard the vicinity for several hours, but he did not notice the abnormality.
He was both at ease and a little disappointed - he originally thought that if someone really went to report the news, the army would put the armored cart in the camp, which would be much better than being among the chaos.
But Chang Qiuwu insisted on following him, which made Li Bochen feel a little nervous. He said to himself, he must not do anything bad like last time, I'm thankful.
He thought about this and looked at the seventeen soldiers below the slope. They didn't seem to be very afraid, and a few of them were still chatting and joking. Seeing Li Bochen looking at them, Zhao Bo said, "June, if you rush to the car tonight, will you be rewarded?"
Li Bochen thought for a while and smiled: "Of course there is. General Zhao, aren't you afraid until now?"
Zhao Bo said: "June, you underestimate me now. I have the cultivation level and have never killed anyone before. The soldiers in the army will not be my opponent. Don't say I'm not afraid, if I stay these, I won't be afraid."
After he said this, the rest of the people laughed and said, "Mr. Please look at it, we will all take one as ten!"
Li Bochen smiled and nodded, saying, "That's good."
These people are not afraid of it now. But Li Bochen knew that when they saw those monsters fighting with the army, they might not have the courage to do so. Fighting in the world is one thing, and going to the battlefield is another thing. Zhao Bo, a cultivator, may not be able to get any advantage from the army of Yiwu army in the army.
This is also one of his purpose tonight - to destroy their arrogance first.
