Chapter 8 Li Bochen's Dinner
There is soup. A soup made of pepper, potato, and cold mushrooms, thickened with potato flour. There are four cakes, two steamed bacon, and a plate of leek sauce.
He sucked two sips of the soup, warmed his stomach, and took another bite of the cake. He then broke the cake in his hand into pieces and soaked it in the soup. He tore the bacon, added half a dish of leek sauce, and grabbed it with two cakes. Then he took a sip of the soup and took a bite of the cake, and sweat came out of his forehead soon.
After eating and drinking, pour the remaining half dish of leek sauce on the last cake, hold the food box and sit against the wall and bite it slowly.
He wasn't that cold, and his thoughts became alive again. He began to think about the Sui Bushu.
He saved people, which should have been a great contribution, but unfortunately he saved someone with the surname Sui. The current Sui King is the seventh generation grandson of the previous Sui King, who is over 200 years old. It is said that he is in the fourth-level Lingzhao Realm, and he should be able to live for another hundred years.
The King of Sui had only one brother, namely Chebei Duke Sui Wujiu. However, Sui Wujiu was a fifth-level Dongxuan realm, and could live to five hundred years old, and now he was only two hundred years old.
After living in the army for a long time, I always listen to more things about the upper class. I know that the King of Sui is very afraid of this younger brother who is higher than his. Although Sui Wujiu repeatedly showed kindness, he was still sent to Wuliang City to be a bitter and cold Duke Chebei.
It is said that this is not the end. The King of Sui was staring at Mr. Che Bei to death, and he wanted to find some reason to drive him away... or to drive him to the underworld.
Therefore, Sui Wujiu was walking on thin ice and was extremely cautious in his work. The Sui State's military and political division were divided into two parts, and local princes only supervised the military and had no power to command. When he arrived at Wuliang City, Sui Wujiu was too lazy to take on the responsibility of the military commander, and he threw all his power to the governor in the city.
But now that the city is broken and the governor Pei Jin is dead, the Sui King will probably be very happy to blame Sui Wujiu. The only one who can save him is Sui Buxiu. Although the city is broken, it is not lost. You can conceal some casualties and make you look like you are determined to retreat to the enemy. Sui Buxiu also has the head of the demon beast royal family in his hand. Once the merits and demerits are offset, the father and son should have no worries about their lives.
But unfortunately, I knew that Sui Buxiu was actually captured. Before I saved him, I didn’t know how much military intelligence he had vomited to the monsters. The capture of the royal family was something that had never happened in the six kingdoms of the emperor. This kind of shame and humiliation... According to his current temperament, it would be natural to kill the prince’s relatives.
Moreover, it is said that there are people from the capital in the Eastern Prefecture Army of Wuliang City. If Sui Wujiu was himself, he would have wanted to hide the fact that Sui Buxi was captured and could not take any risk.
At present, in the magnificent building castle on the mountain, Sui Wujiu should be with Sui Buxiu. Baiying discussed how to do the details better, so that people could not find fault. Maybe after the discussion, it would be his own death in a few days. Sui Buxiu seemed to be a unique prince, but it was only Sui Wujiu's sixteenth son, who grew up in the capital since childhood. Even if he said a few words to himself, it would be useless.
Besides, the clothes he sent to him were not made by the ten generals.
He has eaten and drunk enough and has recovered his energy. Now he should consider how to save himself.
When the sun no longer penetrated through the gap in the window panel, Li Bochen heard footsteps outside the door and the sound of unlocking. He sat on the kang without moving, and soon saw Bai Ying walking into the inner room with a white paper lantern. He looked around the room, put the lantern on the ground, and shook the snow on his wings.
"Generals Hundred." Li Bochen nodded to him.
Bai Ying's face was much more gentle and even showed a smile: "How is your body?"
"If you eat and drink enough, there will be no problem."
"Okay." Baiying stood with his hands crossed his hands and looked at him, "Mr. Che Bei knew about you and admired you very much, so he asked. As a result, I realized that you were the commander of the former army?"
Li Bochen nodded: "It happened three years ago."
"Three years ago...oh, three years ago." Bai Ying walked in the house for two steps and said casually, "It's because of Ling Dutong."
"Um."
He just responded and said nothing more. Bai Ying looked at him and smiled: "Don't worry. Mr. Chebei is interested in promoting you, so he naturally has to send me to ask clearly. I offended him before - that's because I have a small vision. But Mr. Chebei... You know, now is the time to use people, Mr. Chebei can't bear to be a talent."
Li Bochen was stunned: "General Bai, take it seriously?"
"Take it seriously." Bai Ying said with a smile, "That's why I sent me to listen to you."
Li Bochen hesitated for a while and sighed: "It's indeed because of Ling Dutong."
"I joined the army six years ago, and the commander of the Dutong was very concerned about me. I made some military achievements. In three years, I went from a pawn to ten generals and hundreds of generals. Three years ago, the commander of the Dutong led us several generals and soldiers to Dangtushan to hunt. As a result, the commander of the Dutong led three tigers to save him, but he cut his throat with his sword."
"Ah..." Bai Ying sighed.
"Later, it was found out that Lian Ce had a grudge against the governor because of his promotion and was beheaded and showed up in public. But all our generals and subordinates at that time were also deprived of their posts and demoted them to soldiers. Later, General Pei Jin came to serve, and then he mentioned that I was a ten general."
Bai Ying nodded: "Mr. Che Bei did not care about military affairs, but he also knew some inside information about this matter at that time. Ling Dutong was a handsome man, but he died at the hands of a villain. It's a pity. You are also a general, but you were implicated and demoted by a villain. It's a pity."
Li Bochen smiled.
"Did you have any doubts among those people back then, except for the hundred generals Lian Ce?"
Li Bochen frowned and thought: "Others? Among the few people who were traveling at that time, there were two commanders besides me. One was Sun Shou and the other was Peng Dingfang. One was one of the top 100 generals, including Lian Ce, Lu Gongru, and Wei Buqun. The rest were a few personal soldiers. I forgot their names."
"Sun Shou, Peng Dingfang, and Lu Gongru were all killed in battle two years ago, Wei Buqun... were under my command before. A few days ago, I also watched him die on the formation. As for those personal soldiers, the hundred generals should know that once the main general died, they would be unable to protect them, and then they were executed. I had some doubts, but now there is no one here, and there is no doubt about it."
Bai Ying shook his head repeatedly: "What a pity, what a pity. Well, since that's the case, I'll report back to Duke Chebei. General Li waited with peace of mind. In less than two days, there will be a commendation and appointment."
Li Bochen got up from the kang and jumped on the ground. He was about to speak, but his throat was choked. After calming for a while, he clasped his fists: "Mr. Chebei is hard to repay his kindness, and he dares not die if he fails to serve!"
Bai Ying held him up, reached out to pat him on his arm, nodded, and walked out of the door.
A military soldier outside the door brought another food box, brought a bucket and bedding in. He then left and closed the door. This time the door was locked and the window panel was unloaded.
When the footsteps disappeared, Li Bochen pushed the door open a crack and looked into the yard. The sun was about to set, and the yard was shining with golden sunset, and no one was there.
He closed the door and walked back to the house to lift the food box, and found that the food was much richer. In addition to soup, cakes, meat, sauce, there was also a roast chicken and a pot of wine.
He took the wine pot and held it in his hand, knowing that Bai should be going to do it.
Chapter completed!
