He looked at the gate of the Shenshan Temple and said, "Miss Li, are they in the temple?"

At this time, the temple door was pushed open, and Li Ding walked out and said with a smile: "After separating from the general yesterday, I made a divination, knowing that I would win, and now it has come true." ”

He arched his hand: "The general is really brave." ”

Li Bochen was afraid that he would say "what are the general's plans in the future?" in the next sentence, and immediately said: "Mr. Li praises falsely. ”

He stretched out his hand again to untie the magic knife on his waist. He really likes this knife, but after all, it belongs to someone else. Although I sent myself yesterday, I looked at the situation at the time and had the meaning of "and help you", and now that I have met again, it is not good not to mention a word.

Li Dingyi waved his hand: "The general misunderstood, I didn't come for this knife." What is given away, there is no reason to take it back. ”

After saying that, he moved his body out of the way: "Everyone is here." ”

Li Bochen secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and walked a few steps to look inside the temple. The incense and candle offering tables in the temple are long gone, only the green brick floor. There were nine people lying on the ground - five Shenwei were lying on the east side, and the Tao family and Ye Yinghong were lying on the west side. There was a fire in the middle, and it shouldn't be cold.

Looks like they're all right. Li Bochen said: "Mr. Li, why did you stop them?"

Li Ding's hand was copied in his sleeve and smiled slightly: "I thought that these people should have no good place to go in the future." I just told them to go, and I was afraid that I would be worried about my life in the future, so I stopped them. I saw that all four of them had been frightened last night, and that the wind and snow were heavy, and I was afraid that something would come out of them, so I told them to go to bed with incense. ”

He also said: "I also guess that after the general takes care of the affairs of Zhangcheng, he will want to see them again." ”

Li Ding's work is really leaky. It's just that Li Bochen knows whether he should be kind for no reason, and he doesn't know what to say for a while.

Li Ding smiled again: "How is General Pei now?"

Li Bochen's heart jumped, he knew Pei Song, but the next moment he understood why Pei Song was so close to him in the courtyard - was he Li Ding's person?

He didn't know whether to be grateful or afraid for a while—he wasn't an ungrateful person, but Li Ding's hand was stretched too long. If you tell yourself in advance about this kind of thing, of course there will be no mustard. But he acted in secret, which inevitably aroused people's vigilance.

He sighed lowly: "General Pei is no longer here." ”

Li Ding didn't seem to be surprised, but the smile faded from his face, thought about it, and said, "It can be seen that last night was dangerous." Can General Lee talk about that?"

Li Bochen hesitated for a moment, but still told what he said about Pei Song last night. In any case, he had a very good impression of Pei Song, and it was right for Li Ding to know how he died.

Li Ding let out a long sigh after hearing this: "General Pei has a neutral temperament and is very similar to General Li. But in fact, he is not a subordinate of Linxi Jun, he just sympathizes with what we are doing and what happened to General Li. And so it went...... It's really a jealous talent. ”

Li Bochen heard him say this and realized what he was going to say next. Just about to speak, he heard Li Ding really say: "What are the general's plans in the future?"

Li Bochen smiled: "I didn't think about it, but I wanted to be quiet first." Maybe find a place with beautiful mountains and rivers and live a stable life in the future. ”

He didn't mean what he said—he did think so when he left the city of Immeasurables, but these days he has had a series of adventures, and his ambition has been born again. But in any case, one thing is very sure of myself: I don't want to do the work of serving people anymore, I don't want to be constrained anymore.

Li Dingding nodded: "It should be quiet." As for a quiet life...... General Li, if the world is peaceful, it is also a beautiful talk for the talents of the world to send their affection to the mountains and rivers, fishing woods and rivers. But if there is turmoil today, the hero should draw his sword, and it would be a pity if a person like the general really came into hiding. ”

These words sound really comforting, but Li Bochen is self-aware and knows that he does have some skills and talents, but he is far from the point of being a "hero". For example, when you are in the army, you privately refer to all the big and small officials as generals, and if you really feel that you are a hero because others are a "hero", you are afraid that you will suffer a big loss sooner or later.

Although the sedan chair carries people, Li Ding should not fail to see his jealousy of him, but he still praises himself so much, what is the reason for this? This question was raised when Li was in Zhangcheng, and now he is more and more unable to understand. He simply spoke directly: "Mr. Li, why do you value me so much, and you have to ask me to do things for Linxi Jun? In the past, I was only the commander of the highest border army, and there were hundreds or thousands of people with the same official position as me. If you want to talk about cultivation, you can't even rank it...... Is it just because I'm a spirit master?"

Li Ding laughed: "Okay, I've been waiting for the general to ask this sentence a long time ago." ”

"I'll be honest. There is no shortage of those who have the talent to command the army. There is no shortage of those who have cultivated to a high realm. If you want to say that you have a neutral temperament, you are bold and careful. But those who have all three and know how to fight the Demon Beast Army are gone. ”

"You used to be in the military, so you should know the situation now. The Demon Beast Army has broken through into the Sui Realm, and may soon invade the Li Realm. In the past, when Li was still alive, there were also border troops stationed in the north, but the number was very small, and General Li knew why. ”

Li Bochen nodded. It is because of Dangtu Mountain in the north of Li Kingdom. When Tu Mountain traverses the north of Sui and Li, it is a natural barrier. In that section of the territory of the Sui State, there were several roads to the south, so the three cities of Wanyou, Wuliang and Maitreya were built. But that section of the territory of Li is a huge natural Great Wall - the mountain peaks on the side of the North Plains are extremely steep, stretching into patches, the slope is extremely steep, and there is a Nujiao River under the mountain, the water is surging. In this way, unless the demon army is all winged, it is impossible to cross this natural danger.

Li Ding said again: "And at that time, the Demon Kingdom was not deployed in the north of our country but the Demon Beast Army, but the Rakshasa Army. But in recent years, there have been fewer and fewer people from the Sumeru and Rakshasa tribes, and the troops are not enough, so they have also deployed the demon beast army over there. After the great changes in my country more than ten years ago, talents have withered. It's hard to find someone who is familiar with how to fight the Demon Beast Army these days. ”

"At most, a year or two, or as short as a few months, the Demon Beast Army may also break into my realm. At that time, since Linxijun called himself the orthodox Li State, he would inevitably have to take on the responsibility of defending the land. Li Ding looked at Li Bochen, "General Li, that's why I need you very much." To put it mildly, I can't bear to be buried with people like you. To put it bigger, it is for the common people. ”

Hearing this, Li Bochen couldn't help but sigh.

Li Ding said, "Why is the general sighing?"
