Chapter 102: The Book of Wood
Hearing this, Sui Ziang couldn't complain, and hurriedly said: "Ah, why? General Li, you still have friends in the Kongming Society, if they know that you killed Ye Chengchou, and you don't go, it will inevitably make them think that you ran away—if you are angry and ashamed, your friend's life is not guaranteed!"
He was telling the truth. But Li Bochen also knew that what Fang Qi said during the day made sense - with his current injury, going back to Zhangcheng to save people would be tantamount to killing himself. Although he is not afraid of danger, he must always have some certainty in his heart. Although the two encounters of Wujing Mountain and Zhangshan are extremely dangerous, there is still room for mediation after all. But now that he goes back to Zhangcheng, there is no possibility of surviving at all.
He understands that he must first save himself before he can save others. smiled and said: "Actually, there is another way - if I send one of Sui Gongzi's hands back, they won't dare to act rashly." ”
Sui Ziang was taken aback when he heard this, and hurriedly said: "No, no, no, General Li, I can do things for you, I don't need this method!"
When he said this, he was relieved to see that Li Bochen just looked at him and laughed slightly: "Ah...... You really scared the hell out of me. You're a big hero, how could you do such a thing. General Li, when we are in the art of learning...... To be honest, although I offended you at that time, I also know that you are definitely not a human person. Alas...... In this world, there are really few people like you who are affectionate and righteous. ”
Li Bochen said: "It's just that you didn't expect things to turn out like this." To be honest, I didn't expect it - I just thought you were a noble son who likes to talk about it, but I didn't expect that your methods are also very poisonous. ”
As he spoke, he got up and walked over to Sui Ziang, reaching for the rope that bound his hand. Sui Ziang's face was overjoyed, and he hurriedly said, "It's all over...... In the past, I had eyes and no eyes—ah!!"
He let out a scream and arched himself like a prawn.
Li Bochen punched him in the back of the heart, causing him to stop abruptly. He tossed his right hand aside and gave him a few taps on his arm to stop the bleeding. Then he took out Yao Hou and roasted it on the bonfire.
Sui Ziang's screams turned into low whimpering, his face was full of tears, and he grabbed the ground with his head. After a long while, he gritted his teeth and gasped and stared at Li Bochen: "You-you really dare!!! Li Bochen, don't take your head, I, I, I-"
Li Bochen also turned his face to look at him, and said in a deep voice: "What, do you really think that just because your surname is Sui, I don't dare to touch you?"
"The matter of the pottery house, you asked people to set up a formation. If I hadn't made a move, the lives of Tao Wenbao's father and son would have been gone. In that valley just now, one of the Jiaoren's lives was gone. Less than half a month after I came to Zhangcheng, you will take the lives of three people, and I don't know how many evils I have done before—if I really let people like you go back safely, I will become a wicked person. Breaking this hand is also a little atonement for your sins. ”
Sui Ziang trembled in pain, and was about to speak again, when Li Bochen had already put Yao Hou on the wound on his right wrist. He didn't even snort, and fainted in pain. Li Bochen relieved the acupoints for him, tore his clothes and wrapped the wound tightly.
Then he sat back by the campfire, staring at Sui Ziang's severed hand on the ground for a moment, and sighed.
Although I said those words just now, I still felt a little unhappy in my heart. Even though Sui Ziang is a wicked person, cutting off the hand of such a captive who has no ability to resist is close to evil in his place. However, there is no way to do it...... If you want to save people, you have to sacrifice a little.
The human heart is sinister...... The human heart is sinister. He said this silently in his heart, and said, I hope my heart will not become so sinister in the end.
He stared at the campfire for a moment, then got up and went outside the cave, and chopped a piece of wood with a dagger, cutting it into a wooden plaque. After thinking for a while, he engraved the words on the wooden plaque with a knife:
It has been ascertained that the people in the Kongming Society colluded with Li Guo's anti-party party and colluded with the Demon Kingdom. The fall of the two cities of Wanyou and Wuliang was caused by the leakage of military defenses by them. Ye Chengchou wanted to kidnap Sui Ziang as a hostage in Zhangshan and blackmail the prince of the mansion to serve the demon country. Sui Gongzi resisted and cut off his palm, and was later saved by me.
At this moment, the king of the palace has been monitored by the congregation, and there may be a great disaster. Tao Wenbao's family, Ye Yinghong and others, all of whom are subordinates of the Duke of Chebei, have now been imprisoned. The secret order of the Duke of Chebei was to be rescued, and he went to the capital as a witness.
The king of the house is the surname of the country, and the world is favored by the king. If you want to save the life of your family, you must not go against the grain and anger the spirits. If you can help Ben succeed, your son should be able to return.
When he finished carving, he blew it, and read it again, and felt that there was nothing wrong with it. These words should be difficult to convince Zhangcheng Fuzhi to help him, but they can pierce his heart like a wedge. No one would be happy to have a force like the Kongming Society under their rule, but the governors of the various state capitals did not complain, because the "supreme lord" of the Kongming Society accompanied the Son of Heaven.
Zhangcheng Fuzhi read this, even if he didn't believe it, he would save their lives for the time being.
He put the wooden board down and planned to carve another copy for the Zhangcheng Governor's Yuan. But after thinking about it, I still gave up.
One or two hundred years ago, the Governor's Court was still useful—the chief official was a son of a king surnamed from a temple from various countries, and there were also some cultivators in the courtyard who were in charge of supernatural affairs in various places. People like Ye Chengchou, Sui Ziang, and Kong Minghui who use their supernatural powers to harm good people are in charge of them. If the rulers of a place are tyrannical and cruel to the world, they should also report to the king.
But over the years, the people in the Governor's House have not been very careful, and I heard that there are many chief officials in the courtyard such as Sui Ziang and others. There were so many things happening in the city a few days ago, but no one would think that "this matter can be reported to the Overseer", which can be seen.
So he put down his knife, took a piece of roasted horse meat, and ate it. This meat has not been bloodied, and there is no condiment, and it tastes very fishy. But he had been hungry for a day, but he didn't find it difficult to eat. He ate half of what was roasted on the fire, and when he felt that he was three points full, he cut some and roasted some more.
Two quarters of an hour later, the little half of the horse's legs entered his stomach, and he felt that his stomach and body were warm, so he woke up Sui Ziang and pinched a piece to his mouth. At this time, the prince surnamed Guo finally showed his integrity, only smelled it, and stared at Li Bochen with his eyes, refusing to open his mouth or speak.
Li Bochen ate it himself, wiped his hands on his body, walked out of the cave and chopped some firewood, picked up a few big stones to build a stove, and chopped up most of the remaining half of the horse's legs and smoked them inside.
When he had done this, he stood under the tree outside the cave and looked out into the mountains. It was completely dark, and twilight was in full swing. Here you can see a corner of Zhangcheng in the distance, like a pile of embers surrounded by mountains. He said in his heart, Li Ding, you'd better do things quickly. I have helped you as you say, and now it is your turn to help me.
As soon as he thought so, he saw a little bit of fire in the forest in the distance, like fireflies.
His heart jumped, and he knew that it was time for someone from Zhangcheng to come into the mountain to find someone.
