As soon as these words came out, Chang Xiu and Chang Qiuwu's faces finally changed.

Li Bochen breathed a sigh of relief, calmed his mind, and told the matter as it was. At first, when I spoke, my heart was always sour from time to time, but after speaking, I felt that a breath of air gradually came out of my chest. I feel sad, but I don't feel depressed all the time.

Chang Xiu talks about etiquette so much, I don't know what I will think of myself and how I will look at Xiaoman. But Li Bochen thought to himself that if he really wants to get along with this grandfather in the future, he must know what kind of temperament he has in addition to the word "li". I want the foundation of Jinghu Mountain, half of it is to display the ambition of the man's life, and most of it is to find Xiaoman back.

If Chang Xiu feels that Xiaoman's "sin is unforgivable" and "will never accept it", then he will have to think about his attitude towards him in the future. This kind of thought seems to be a bit rebellious, but Li Bochen and Chang Xiu and Chang Qiuwu are really not close, even the "blood" that involves the three of them is not true. To be able to walk in one place now is the creation of the world. But if you can't go anywhere, you can't blame yourself.

When he had said that, he smiled and said, "That's it." ”

I couldn't see Chang Xiu's expression, but Chang Qiuwu seemed to be a little stunned. After a long pause, he said, "Watch...... Lord, do you mean that she later became lost and couldn't help herself?"

Li Bochen said: "Yes." ”

Chang Qiuwu shook his head and nodded again, as if he didn't know how to evaluate it. But he said: "But after all, she has done so many years for Di Xin, how do you know what she thinks in her heart, and what will she think in the future?"

Li Bochen didn't want to hear others comment on Xiaoman like this. But before he said, "I want to hear your opinions", it is difficult to say anything at this time. There are many little things when the two get along, and he can't explain them one by one. But at least he felt that he could understand Xiaoman's mind from those little things. This kind of thing is like people drinking water and knowing it, Chang Qiuwu should definitely not be able to understand it.

He was about to speak, but he heard Chang Xiu say, "Qiuwu." As a minister, when the king is indecided, he can give direct advice. But this matter has already been completed, and it is only necessary to plan for the future of the lord of the country, so don't say more. ”

Chang Qiuwu was stunned, and only said: "The ancestor has taught a lesson. ”

Li Bochen was also stunned in his heart - what Chang Xiu meant by saying these words...... Did he recognize Xiaoman's identity? Was it because he respected his choice as the "lord of the country" as he said, or because he swore an oath to Beichen at the beginning? But no matter what, he felt a sense of relief in his heart, and even a little joy. He couldn't help but say in his heart, this word "li" is not all bad!

Then he hurriedly said: "Grandpa, then please tell me, what do you think?"

Chang Xiu pondered for a moment and said, "Lord." You just said you don't want to be the head of the country—can you tell us what you think?"

Li Bochen said, "Okay." ”

After thinking about it again, he said, "I do have Beichen luck. Linxi Jun Li Shengyi should not have known about this matter before. When he was in Zhangcheng, he asked someone to try me, but I was lucky enough to coax me over. ”

"Now, Xiao Man and Gao Tianzi should know. I think they want another surname Li just so that they can have a puppet in the future. Wait...... When the child is born and grows up, he will want to kill me and Li Shengyi. Then there is only one surname Li left in the world, and the country of Li will fall into their hands. ”

"I think that if Gao Tianzi wanted to do this, he would not let Li Shengyi know about it. Because if they really want to attack at that time, they must take Li Shengyi's life first. Because he is more powerful and has been in business for a longer time. If I don't get rid of him first, my luck will be on him after I die, and things will be in trouble. ”

"But if Li Shengyi knows about this, the first thing to do is to do it to me. In this way, he will have more strength to protect himself. Before leaving, Xiaoman called me to manage the power, that's what he thought. ”

"But grandpa, if Li Shengyi wants to do something to me, he will be jealous. He has always been a gentleman in the mouth of the people. If one day it is known that he is in the same room and kills the heir of Beichen's luck, the reputation of the gentleman will collapse, and the legal principle of the king of Li Guo will also be gone. ”

"So, I don't think he will embarrass me until he has the power to control the whole realm—at least not in a big way. But if I suddenly claim to be the lord of the country here, I will be forcing Li Shengyi to a dead end. He has been in business for more than ten years, will he be willing to give up the foundation to us? Otherwise, he will have to do it. ”

Chang Xiu's face finally showed a smile, glanced at Chang Qiuwu, and said, "Well said." ”

Li Bochen thought to himself, they had already thought of it, right? I just wanted to see if I was a reckless man who would be carried away by power. But he didn't care—if he were them, he would do the same.

But there's more to him than that. Then he said: "Also-I think that Gao Tianzi's move is to kill two birds with one stone." We know this, and Li Shengyi will know this sooner or later. In order to protect myself, I will become a force of my own, and there will be two foundations surnamed Li in the Li country. If Li Shengyi and I want to be suspicious of each other because of Gao Tianzi's move, both of us will fall into internal friction, which is exactly what Gao Tianzi wants. At that point, he won't need to do anything, and sooner or later the two of us will fight each other. ”

"I thought about it and thought that the best way to solve this problem was actually that I died, but I naturally didn't want to. Then, there is only one way left - find Li Shengyi and tell him about it, so as to show sincerity and set an offensive and defensive alliance. Before the external enemy is gone, there is absolutely no internal fighting. ”

Chang Xiu listened to him say this and sighed lowly. Li Bochen thought he was going to laugh at himself for being too naïve, but the next moment, Chang Xiu suddenly shed two tears. Li Bochen was stunned and listened to him: "Good, good, good...... I didn't expect you to be so open-minded. Heaven will not die, my Li Guo is orthodox!"

Li Bochen had no choice but to say: "...... It's nothing. It's just that the times are pressing. ”

Chang Xiu wiped the corners of his eyes and said, "Okay-Bochen, it's just that this matter doesn't need to be said to Li Shengyi in person." If we want to do it, we will only do two things. First, if Di Xin unleashes a rumor that you are the one who is blessed with Beichen's luck, then we must categorically deny it. ”

"Second, you can ask Li Shengyi for a seal. This invitation, he naturally knows our intentions, and he can feel a little at ease. ”

Li Bochen thought for a while and said, "Grandpa is right. ”

Chang Qiuwu said: "Ancestor, this invitation is also particular-what do we invite? grandfather, grandfather, is Wu Wei Hou, let's invite this Wu Wei Hou?"

Chang Xiu said: "Bochen, what do you see?"

He finally stopped calling himself "the lord of the country". Li Bochen thought that he was respectful to himself before because he wanted to be tempted. Now that I call myself "Bochen", I feel that I am "usable".

smiled bitterly: "I really don't understand this, grandpa, please take an idea." ”

Chang Xiu thought for a while and said, "Bochen, then I'll ask you another thing - the son of Che Beigong came to our side, what do you think of this?"

Li Bochen wanted to say that they couldn't survive in northern Sui, so they were anxious to find a way out. But when the words came to his lips, he saw Chang Xiu's eyes blazing, so he swallowed it back - everyone knows this kind of thing, do you still need to "what do you think"?

So what did he want to ask?

His heart suddenly jumped, and a flash of inspiration flashed in his mind. After thinking about it slowly, he said, "I see. Chebei is using the same yang scheme as Gao Tianzi!"

Chang Xiu narrowed his eyes and said, "Oh?

Li Bochen straightened up and said, "I heard in Houcheng that we are here because Sui Buxiu came, so I felt strange that we were surrounded. I asked Brother Chang again outside just now, and there were a few people in them - three. ”

"Three people, two are Yuren, and one is the Dragon and Tiger Realm of Sui Buxiu. It's easy for them to hide their whereabouts. But how did the town army of Xuansu City and Hou City know that they had come to us? I think it was Sui Buxiu who deliberately leaked his whereabouts. ”

"The king of Sui knew that he was here, and he would definitely call someone to kill him. But the north of Sui was fighting hard, and the border army could not be mobilized, so it could only call the nearby town army to surround it. In this way, although we are trapped, the enemy army is not strong. Sui Buxiu set up a formation for us again, and those people outside naturally couldn't enter. ”

"Sui Buxiu is not in any danger, but he has brought the disaster to us, and we have to accept his situation. If he had gone, the town troops would not have withdrawn - they had mobilized two thousand garrisons and besieged them for a month without success? Then we can only continue to surround and fight, and wipe out our 'bandits', and we can also fool the peak. ”

"We have few soldiers here, so when the time comes, we can only ask for help. But Lin Xijun may not be able to help us, so if we ask, we can only ask Sui Wuyi to save it-grandfather, how many people does Sui Wuji have in his hands now?"

The smile on Chang Xiu's face became thicker, and he said, "There are still two thousand remnants." ”

Li Bochen said: "Exactly! Two thousand remnants of the army have come to us, and they are holding on." It's the elite of a hundred battles again, and maybe he can take Hou Cheng down. Even if you can't take it, you can still eat enough if you reclaim it on the spot!"

When Chang Qiuwu heard this, he suddenly clapped his hands and said, "Well said!"

Chang Xiu also said: "Bochen, I was worried that you were just a martial artist. But now, you have a big mind and a careful heart, and you are a great talent! Good, good, good, the old man is at ease!"

The appearance of these two people finally came alive. Listening to their praise, Li Bochen felt a little more relieved. He said in his heart, I really can't stand to be boasted. But even though I said this, there was still warmth in my chest, and it didn't hurt much. He tried it with a little force, and his heart should have been under the effect of the medicinal power, and the muscles and flesh straightened the broken bones and gradually improved.

Then he said: "Grandpa, what does this matter have to do with what to ask for?"

Chang Xiu no longer had his previous attitude at this time, and he actually smiled again, and then said: "Bochen, let me ask you, if Sui Buxiu is really as you think, what are you going to do with him?"

Li Bochen sighed and said, "Speaking from the heart, I don't have any prejudices against Sui Buxiu. I saved him on the snowfield, and he repaid him. Later, someone in Wuliang City wanted to kill me, and I don't blame him. If I were him, Sui Wuyi's son, there would be nothing I could do. As for today...... What he's doing now, I can't do—"

When he said this, he paused again before saying, "Alas, it's hard for me to say that I can't do it myself—if two thousand of my comrades are killed from the demon beast army, and I can't find a place to stay, I will die, maybe I will be like him." ”

He shook his head and sighed again: "If we really call Sui Wujiao's people here, they may be anti-guest-oriented, and we will not have a good reputation when we go to the same place with the Sui people." ”

"But ignore them...... Grandpa, I used to be a Sui soldier. More than 20 years ago, those Sui troops guarding the border in Wuliang City were just children. They didn't participate in the national disaster back then, and they have been killing monsters all these years. Let these men be buried in the mountains, and slain by all the monsters...... I'm afraid I won't be able to sleep anymore. Alas, I really don't know what to do. ”

Chang Xiu stood up and paced two steps in the room with his hands behind his back before he said, "That's a good point." ”

Li Bochen was stunned - didn't he think that this was a woman's kindness!?

Listening to Chang Xiu said again: "Bochen, this alone, Li Shengyi is far inferior to you." If you really look at the things in this Li realm like him, it is the woman's opinion. ”

"Today, the righteousness of the world is to fight against the demon kingdom together. occupies this general righteousness, and the rest is a temporary subsection. If you really want to repeat the Li room, it is absolutely impossible to rely on the power of Li Jing alone. At that time, our military strength was the highest in the six countries, but it was inevitable that it would be destroyed. If he has no country to help, like Li Shengyi, he will be in a safe corner, and it will be a matter of time before he falls. ”

Many thoughts in Li Bochen's heart have never been able to be said to others. Now that he is resting, he only feels that every word has entered his heart, making him feel hot all over. He couldn't help but say, "Grandpa, tell you, what should we do?"

Chang Xiu stroked his hair and smiled, and said: "The vicissitudes of the sea show the true character of heroes - now that the demon army is heading south, it is our opportunity." One day, if they want to enter the Li Realm, we will be able to turn the tide, and it will become the desire of the people. ”

"And now Na Di Xin, hehe, back then, he crusaded against our country but caused the Northern Plains to be lost, and then he wanted to monopolize Li Realm, but today the demon disaster went south, which has made the monarchs of the four countries resentful. This person is not worthy of the position of great treasure. Bochen, we just have to settle down in Fengzhou, and in the future, we will have heaven's help!"

Li Bochen was enthusiastic when he heard this, and he couldn't help but stand up and say, "Grandpa, then, do we want to contain Sui Wujiao's people!?"

Chang Xiu smiled: "It's to give them a way out." The dispute between the Duke of Chebei and the King of Sui is their state affair, and we are not involved in it. As for their way of life, it is to the south of us. ”

Li Bochen was stunned for a moment, and then said, "Hou Cheng!?"

Chang Xiu said: "Exactly." ”

He said, "Qiuwu, bring the map!"

Chang Qiuwu got up and responded, and walked out quickly. After a while, he walked back and spread a long scroll on the table.

Chang Xiu walked to the map and looked at it, and said, "Bochen, tell me about it again, why did you ask them to go to Houcheng?"
