Among these eighteen people, except for Fang Qi, the previous four ten generals all stayed. Of the remaining thirteen people, six were his own soldiers.

Li Bochen waited a little longer and said, "Aren't you people afraid of death?"

A ten general said: "Prince, you are telling the truth, and we will not hide it." It's false to say that I'm not afraid of death, but I have nowhere to go. I used to have a big feud with the rivers and lakes, so I defected to Zhu Hou. Now that he is a son of heaven and a courtier, since he is your soldier, it is better to give you his life than to ask the enemy to cut off his head. ”

Li Bochen said: "What kind of enmity do you have?"

The ten generals said: "I slept with someone else's wife." ”

Li Bochen nodded and said, "It's not a glorious thing. But since I didn't commit it here, I didn't care about it before. But there is one thing - if that person comes to me in the future, I will punish you as the law of the Li Kingdom judges. ”

The ten generals were stunned, stiffened their necks, and said, "Then what does he want my head?"

Li Bochen said: "That is to kill our army generals - I want his head." ”

The ten generals smiled: "Then I have nothing to say." ”

This ten general's name is Zhao Bo. Li Bochen wrote down his name and looked at the others: "What about you?"

Seeing that his tone of voice was more gentle at this time, they all began to talk nonsense. The other three people who have cultivated are also enemies. or accidentally killed the relatives of the big man when he was happy, or killed the people of the government because of a momentary mood. The rest said that their cultivation was facing a bottleneck and that they wanted to walk around and experience it. Li Bochen nodded when he heard this, but he farted in his heart. This person also caused some trouble, but he really couldn't say it, so he made an excuse.

He noted that the man's name was Teng Zhong.

As for those ordinary people, it is not a big deal to have a grudge against others, but more because they are uninhibited by nature, and they want to kill something to try or feed the whole family alone.

Li Bochen had a number in his heart, and asked them if they could read and write, and they were willing to practice, and they all said yes.

He said, "Then tonight, I will take you people to attack the camp." I'm not bad for hungry soldiers, I have my secret marching pill in my pocket over there, and each of you will be given three pills. It's eight o'clock in the morning, one pill at noon, and one pill at night. For the rest, let's come back victorious, and you can melt in the water and share it with your family to eat—General Fang. ”

"In!"

"Take them to collect the armor on the ground, and move all those that are stored in Zhu Hou on the mountain to my east chamber. After finishing the work, go to find Meng Niangzi. I asked her if there was any spare room in her house, so I rented it as a military camp, and asked her to ask her brother Feng to allocate the rental money. ”

Fang Yan said: "Get an order!"

Li Bochen stepped forward and saluted the chest of these eighteen people. And when they had returned their salutes, he went up to his house and returned to his house.

The Westinghouse is a study, and in the past, pen, ink, paper, and inkstones were prepared, but they have never been used. Li Bochen walked back and opened the window, sat at the desk and laid out the paper, intending to write some cultivation methods. He cultivated the law in the army, and later obtained some in the cave of Zhangshan Jun. In this way, it can be regarded as the initial cultivation methods of the rivers and lakes, sects, and temples.

He planned to write a dozen copies by hand, and asked those who wanted to practice to give it a try. But as soon as I wrote half a piece of paper, I realized that I had forgotten to write with a pen.

It turned out that he was naturally literate, but he didn't like to read. He likes to read, but he doesn't have any books to read. I have only read some classics in recent days, but I haven't written for many years, and I can't remember many words when I used them.

He was stunned, and said in his heart, I still ask others if they are illiterate, and I will become semi-literate.

With a low sigh, I decided not to write the practice and to pass it on by word of mouth.

After a while, Fang Qi began to lead people back and forth to move the armor back and forth to the East Chamber. Li Bochen sat on the chair and watched them work, his eyes slightly closed, and he took the opportunity to take a nap.

At noon, Fang Yan knocked on the door and walked in, wiping his face with a handkerchief and saying, "General, it's all done." I went to ask Meng Niangzi just now, and Meng Niangzi was very happy and offered two rooms. I don't think the two rooms are small, just below our slope, and they don't crowd thirty or forty people—I told them all to clean up. ”

Li Bochen stood up and stretched his arms, not feeling sleepy, so he said, "Brother Fang, sit." What else do they say?"

Fang Yi smiled: "There are more than a dozen people, and for an hour or two, I talked about it all over again." I think it's all good, but it's a little disobedient. General, you have to find an opportunity to kill their prestige. ”

There is such a thing as killing prestige in the Sui army, but Li Bochen does not plan to use it. In the past, when he was in the northern plains, he had a lot of his own ideas, but now that he has his own small army, if he copied all his habits, he would be really sorry for himself.

He said, "It's not necessary. After tonight, their prestige will naturally be gone. Fang Yan, has anyone eaten the Marching Pill?"

Fang Yi said: "I watched one of them eat one, and I also ate one." General, what is this? I thought I wasn't full, but now my whole body was warm. ”

Li Bochen smiled and said, "Just eat, don't be greedy, one pill at a time." In the afternoon you go and see how the cleaning is going, and divide the bunks among them. Look again, if there are any people with flushed faces and difficulty breathing - this kind of is too greedy, write it down. ”

Fang Yan was stunned, smiled again, and said, "Haha, general, you also have this kind of careful thinking." ”

Li Bochen said with a smile: "You can't judge a person because of this matter, you just have to know it in your heart." I don't ask them for anything else, I just want to do it. If someone eats too much, you don't have to punish them - it's enough for them to feel uncomfortable for an afternoon, and they will naturally remember it for a long time in the future. ”

Fang Yan said: "Order." ”

Li Bochen said again: "You said that Meng Niangzi donated two rooms?"

Fang Yi said: "I have said everything you said, but Meng Niangzi said that the general's training is to protect the township, and she refuses to go to Chang Qiuwu, I really can't help it." ”

Li Bochen thought for a while and said, "Then forget it." ”

In fact, he really wanted to ask Meng Niangzi to go to Chang Qiuwu to pay the money, because this was official business. But since she has the heart to do this, it is really hard to say much, otherwise it will seem rusty. Now that the situation is delicate, it is better to make amends later.

Fang Yan said again: "If we go to attack the camp at night, general, won't you tell them how to attack? I think these people are worse than the government army of Zhangcheng Mansion, if they really go to the battlefield, they will probably all die, and it will be difficult to do." ”

Li Bochen said: "No need. It's your own arrangement. Fang Yuan, go and take a look at them. ”

Fang Yan had no choice but to stand up and said, "Order." ”

He walked out of the door, but Li Bochen said again: "Hey, Fang Yuan, do you know the story of the snipe and the clam competing for the fisherman's profit?"

Fang Yi stood down and said, "I know." ”

Li Bochen said: "Okay, it's okay." ”

When Fang Yan went out, he took out another piece of paper and wrote down the sentence "Sandpiper and clam fight".

It seems that everyone here knows this. Over the years, he has gradually discovered that there are allusions that he thought others did not know, and they knew them. But others, such as "Heaven is at ease in people's hearts" said to Qin Le, is actually "justice is in people's hearts", but Qin Le didn't know.

He really couldn't figure it out, so he planned to write it down when he encountered such a thing in the future.

After thinking about what Fang Qi had just said, after thinking about it, he decided to follow his own wishes. In fact, it is not a grand means to write down which person has eaten more marching pills, but the situation is special at this time, and it is helpless. For example, when he sent troops tomorrow night, he, the main general, did not explain anything, also because of a "special situation".

Chang Xiu and Chang Qiuwu may be optimistic, but Li Bochen has been in Beiyuan for three years and knows what the concept of overwhelming demon beasts is rolling in. He said that maybe the demon army will come in two or three months, and he is not alarmist.

There is not much time left for himself, he has to have a strong army, elite soldiers, he has little time to "moisten things in the spring rain" and "imperceptibly", only to screen out the people he needs by direct and crude means.

When he sent out tonight, he wanted to see how many of these eighteen could be fearless and fearless when they were unprepared, and truly enforce orders and prohibitions.

He got up and went to the east chamber to look at the armor. Zhu Hou originally wanted to take the road of "strengthening the army and elite soldiers", so he confiscated a lot of iron weapons in the tunzi and finally wore them on the soldiers. But most of the people who left took their armor with them, and there were not many left. The east chamber was half full, and Li Bochen took a look, and there were only dozens of collar armor, a dozen spears, and short knives.

He locked the door, intending to go to Sui Buxiu. But before he reached the main entrance, he heard a knock at the door. When he opened the door, Sui Buxiu actually ran to the door by himself. Li Bochen said: "Brother Sui, I was about to look for you." ”

Sui Buxiu walked in with his hands behind his back and said with a smile: "I heard that you are cutting troops - Brother Li is really courageous, there were originally about fifty, and now there are only a dozen left, right?"

Li Bochen let him into the house and said, "It's useless to have a lot of people, we have a special situation here." ”

Sui Buxiu nodded and said, "Yes." The people here are doing well, so we have to let them see the blood first. Brother Li, are you going to send troops at night? Do you want to ask me about the formation?"

Li Bochen said: "Exactly. When the time comes, I hope that Brother Sui will be present and help me release people out. ”

Sui Buxiu said: "It's easy to say." Speaking of which, I haven't seen you lead troops into battle, so let's take a look at your demeanor. ”

He agreed happily, and Li Bochen thanked him twice, and he didn't know what to say for a while. After a while, he said, "When are you leaving?"

Sui Buxiu smiled: "Asked my two Yu guards to go back and report the news." If you want to take me, I'm afraid I'm going to walk slowly. Besides, there's still a formation here for me to maintain. ”

And that's exactly what happened. Li Bochen was about to open his mouth to thank him again, but suddenly thought that it was not as simple as he said.

Sui Buxiu stayed as a hostage, right?

No wonder my grandfather wasn't very worried about Sui Wuyi. Sui Wuyi's heirs were basically hostages in the royal capital in the past, but now he only has this son by his side. Sui Wuyi really wants to dominate the world, this son can't be broken. It's just that Sui Buxiu's life is too bitter.

Li Bochen couldn't help but say: "It's hard for you." ”

Sui Buxiu was stunned and sighed lowly: "I'm used to it." ”

Seeing him like this, Li Bochen suddenly had a thought in his heart. This thought has been in my mind for a long time, but I don't know whether I should act or not, but at this time, my heart is beating so hard that I rush to my mouth several times.

At this time, Sui Buxiu sighed again and said, "Actually, my brothers and sisters are the same as me. I am considered good, and I gradually won the trust of the King of Sui and was entrusted with important tasks. Some of the other brothers are no longer there, and they have never seen their father. ”

Li Bochen was stunned: "It's not there......?"

"Old dead. Sui Buxiu said, "If my eldest brother were alive, he would be almost sixty years old. But since he was a child, he was not asked to practice, and he was depressed, so he naturally died of old age. Alas, Brother Li, if you really become a hegemon in the future, you will know what ruthlessness is. ”

Hearing his words, Li Bochen also felt a little sorry in his heart. Sui Buxiu said that these things had other intentions, or were they sincere? Li Bochen was inclined to the latter. He was first sent to the royal capital by his father as a hostage, and then stayed here as a hostage. As long as it is a person and feelings, it will not be happy.

I'm kind of close to him, right? That's why I'm talking about this. After all, there was a fateful friendship between the two, and as for what happened later, it was not something he could control.

Li Bochen finally spoke: "Brother Sui, I want to ask you about someone. ”

Sui Buxiu said: "Please speak." ”

Li Bochen hesitated slightly: "Sui Manshu." Your little sister. ”

Sui Buxiu was stunned: "Princess Changlong, why did Brother Li inquire about her?"

"She's my wife. ”

Sui Bu was stunned for a while, dumbfounded. He has always been a noble son, but it was the first time Li Bochen had seen him lose his temper like this. Originally, I was a little nervous, but now I feel a little funny.

After a while, Sui Buxiu breathed a sigh of relief, stared at Li Bochen carefully, and said, "Brother Li, I don't mean anything else, just ask one more question - you are about to enter the Dragon and Tiger Realm recently?"

He asked what this was for, but Li Bochen said, "Yes." ”

Sui Buxiu thought about it again and said, "This ...... This kind of situation is relatively rare—but it's not impossible—has Brother Li seen hallucinations or auditory hallucinations lately?

Li Bochen sighed: "Brother Sui, I'm not going crazy. ”

After thinking about it for a while, he said: "Princess Changlong's milk name is Xiaoman, and her mother's name is Yu Jue, isn't it? That's her. It involves Gossin, but she and I ...... There should be true feelings. If it's not convenient for you to say it, forget it. ”

Sui Buxiu frowned and looked at him. After thinking for a while, his face turned pale, and he said, "Really?"

And said: "Could it be that Gao Tianzi wants to-"

He thought of it too. Li Bochen nodded.

Sui Buxiu let out a sigh of relief, shook his head and said, "Really...... Is...... Alas. ”

"Brother Li, I understand now. I knew that you were going to be a martial artist, and I thought you didn't have that kind of personality. But now I know. You're doing it for your life, and you're doing it for her, right?"

"But how could my little sister ...... No, it makes sense. Sui Buxiu looked at Li Bochen again with a strange expression, and said, "She was also hostage to King Sui at first, and my relationship with me is quite good." But she's too weak...... The king of Sui didn't like it and gave her to Gao Xin, who liked her. ”

"Okay. Maybe she had to listen to Gao Xin's orders, met you, and fell in love with you again? God, her life is worse than mine—Brother Li, I'm not saying you're bad. ”

Li Bochen sighed: "I know. ”

"And what are you going to do?"
