Chapter 205: Enemies Meet
Li Bochen took two steps forward with a knife, stopped, and said in his heart that he was really unlucky today, no one helped, and they all came to make trouble.
Then I looked at the knight who was sitting on the horse, and I saw that he was burly, with a square face and a wide mouth, and his hair was casually combed in a bun, and his hair was unkempt. But the outfit on his body is very extraordinary, the upper body is a fish-scale iron armor, shiny and shiny, and the lower body is wearing satin pants, dark purple.
The big bow in his hand was obviously not suitable for use on horses, and it was possible to pin the monster to the ground with two arrows forty or fifty paces away, which showed that he was also a good hand at using arrows. Looking at the strength of the monster's head just now, it can also be seen that this person's cultivation is extraordinary.
Li Bochen only thought about it for a while, and knew the identity of this person.
It should be Zhu Hou.
The first thought that came to his mind was to hide, but the bottom of the valley was very flat, and the two of them were only about twenty steps apart, so there was nowhere to hide. Then he said in his heart, okay, why should I hide my head and show my tail in front of this kind of person? I thought again, it can be seen that I really can't swear casually - if I really remember what I said to Xiaoman just now, if I don't chase this monster, I won't collide with Zhu Hou.
He simply shook the knife and stood firmly.
At this time, Zhu Hou grabbed Ma and looked at him. He was followed by seven or eight horsemen, and they all ran to the monster and reined in their horses, and when they saw that it was dead, they cheered and shouted, "The great general is brilliant!" "The great general's great skill is beyond the world!", "What a fucking accurate!" "Wow......! Wow, wow, wow!"
Zhu Hou returned the saber to the sheath and raised a hand, and those people were silent. He glanced at Li Bochen a few more times, rode his horse to the monster corpse and took a look, suddenly smiled, and said, "Hey, I didn't kill it." ”
turned his face to look at Li Bochen again, and said in a loud voice: "Brother, your skills are good, where are you?"
Li Bochen said in a deep voice: "Tunli people." ”
Zhu Hou was stunned for a moment, and said with a smile: "I actually have a warrior like you here? I won't tell you, I've been chasing this thing several times, and I've fucking told him to run away! I didn't expect it to be folded in your hand!"
Li Bochen took the knife and pointed to the side: "It's not my credit alone, it's also because of Mr. Chang's help." ”
Chang Qiuwu passed out after a pile of rocks, he pointed like this, Zhu Hou saw that there were still two legs exposed, he was stunned, and said, "Chang Qiuwu?"
"Yes. ”
He rushed over with a dozen horses and said, "How is Mr. Chang!? Fuck, what are you looking at?
He said this to the riders behind him. When those people heard this, they hurried over on horseback. But Li Bochen knew that Chang Qiuwu's life was worry-free, so he only let it aside.
But this Zhu Hou really surprised him. Listening to him, although he was a little vulgar, he made people feel very close, and he did not have the kind of grim and cold atmosphere that he imagined Jiang Yang's thief. He looked at the corpse and said it was not his own work. Seeing Chang Qiuwu in a coma, his eagerness was also real.
Now he jumped off the horse and squatted on the ground to check Chang Qiuwu's pulse, and he looked completely defenseless...... Li Bochen really couldn't match such a person with the Jiangyang thief who did all the evil in Jiusan's mouth.
What went wrong?
He thought for a moment and slowly took two steps back. If this Zhu Hou was worried about Chang Qiuwu's injury and didn't care about him, he could just leave quietly.
But then I saw that one of Zhu Hou's entourage suddenly turned his face, stared at him carefully, and frowned.
Li Bochen was stunned, and a thought jumped out of his mind - could this person be one of the few people who ran away from the manor!?
Sure enough—the man stared at his magic knife again, and suddenly he stepped forward, pulled out the knife from his waist, and shouted, "It's you!!"
He shouted again: "General, it's him! It's him! It's him! It's him who killed the eldest prince!!"
As soon as he shouted, Zhu Hou turned around and stood up abruptly, and said, "What?"
The man rushed two steps to Li Bochen's side, remembered something, and hurriedly retreated to Zhu Hou's side, saying, "It was this person who killed the eldest prince in the garden and killed the eldest son!"
At this time, Li Bochen felt that he was certain in his heart, and he was no longer worried. simply smiled and said, "Hey, it's really a narrow road." ”
Several other members of his entourage immediately drew their swords and surrounded him. The man who recognized him shouted, "Be careful, this man is not easy to deal with!"
Li Bochen sighed, and said in his heart that last night Xiaoman said that he might not be willing to kill this Zhu Hou. But now, if you don't kill, you have to kill.
He was about to raise his knife, but saw Zhu Hou raise his hand and press it, looked him up and down again, and said, "Friend, did you really kill me?"
Li Bochen really didn't expect Zhu Hou to have such a bearing-at such a time, he would even ask first.
He hesitated slightly, but didn't make a move, but said, "Yes." ”
The entourage immediately became noisy and scolded. But Zhu Hou frowned and shouted: "Shut up!"
looked at Li Bochen again: "You and I have no grievances, because why do you want to take my son's life?"
Li Bochen smiled: "You really don't know what Zhu Yi did in Sanguan City?"
Zhu Hou thought for a while and said, "Let's hear it." ”
If it was an ordinary bandit leader, Li Bochen would only feel that these words were teasing and ridiculing, and it was time to take the knife. But when he heard Zhu Hou's words before and saw the way he was doing, he said in his heart, could it be that this person is really asking?
He was silent for a while, but still spoke: "Zhu Yi led the bandits to rush into Sanguan City, burning, killing and looting. It was not the officials and soldiers in the city who were killed, but the ordinary people. I, the person who is most unaccustomed to this kind of thing, didn't know that he was the son of the general when I killed him. But even if you know, you won't be left behind under the knife. ”
The men who surrounded him seemed to be scolding. But after getting Zhu Hou's order before, he only moved his lips. Seeing this scene, Li Bochen couldn't help but say in his heart, no matter what Zhu Hou is, he does have a set of moderation subordinates. If all the orders under his command are like this, they can be called a strong army.
When Zhu Hou heard what he said, his eyes widened, and he looked at the person who recognized Li Bochen, and said, "What he said is true?"
The man was stunned and hurriedly said, "One ...... What nonsense!"
Zhu Hou nodded, turned his face to look at Li Bochen, and pulled out the waist knife.
Li Bochen sighed lowly, and said in his heart, this person really can't get rid of the bandit temperament. But the next moment, Zhu Hou swung his knife violently and cut off the head of the entourage.
The rest of the people were taken aback, and one of them even fell to the ground with a knife. Even Li Bochen was stunned, wondering if this person was venting his anger. But Zhu Hou shook the blood on the knife, put it back into the sheath, and said in a deep voice: "Okay." I see. ”
After thinking about it, he sneered again: "It's not a thing." I told him to go to Sanguan so that he might be kind to his father and strengthen his inheritance. But he did this kind of thing, and he died innocently!"
He bowed his hand to Li Bochen again: "Brother, thank you for preserving my reputation." ”
Li Bochen glanced at the head on the ground a few more times before he was convinced that he was really dead. He only felt that his mind was in confusion at the moment--what is this person doing? Is he really fair-minded? But if such a person is the one who killed women and children in the past, what can he say? Then Zhu Yi turned into a monster...... Could it be that Zhu Hou didn't know about this? Did someone else do it behind his back?
Or...... He saw that he was with Chang Qiuwu, so he temporarily pressed the killing intent, for his big thing, he didn't want to offend the Chang family?
He didn't know how to answer for a moment. At this time, Chang Qiuwu let out a "hmm" and woke up. Zhu Hou hurriedly turned around and said, "Mr. Chang, how are you?"
Chang Qiuwu turned his eyes to look at him, and was a little dazed for a while. After a while, he whispered, "Oh...... It's okay - General Zhu, have you seen Brother Chen?"
Zhu Hou was stunned and looked at Li Bochen.
Li Bochen sighed in his heart, knowing that he couldn't hide his identity at this time. Then he said: "Mr. Chang, my name is not Chen Boli, my name is Li Bochen." ”
Chang Qiuwu should have fallen into a daze, and reacted for a while before he said, "Li ...... Bochen?"
Glaring again: "Your name is Li Bochen!?"
Li Bochen said: "Yes." ”
He must have guessed his identity. Listening to him talk to Chang Xiu last night, I knew that they knew about their existence and that Chang Tingwei had a child. It should have followed the route of Chang Tingwei's departure all the way south and found out about the village. But since the original "Li Bochen" was not taken away, it should have been investigated after Chang Tingwei's death.
At that time, the original Li Bochen should have joined the army, they only knew this name, and they couldn't find anyone.
At this moment, his "Li Bochen" ran to Mengjiatun again, and he is also a cultivator, and he intends to be close to him...... Chang Qiuwu should have guessed that he was Chang Tingwei's son.
However, Zhu Hou may not know about this. He should only think that he was a low-ranking officer who killed the Sui king's grandson.
Chang Qiuwu thought for a while, and was about to stand up with the stone, Zhu Hou hurriedly went over to pick him up, and said, "Mr. Chang, be careful!"
Chang Qiuwu grabbed Zhu Hou's hand, stared at him, and said, "General Zhu, I heard before that Ling Gongzi was killed in Sanguan. ”
Glancing at Li Bochen again: "There must be a misunderstanding in this matter, for the sake of my thin face......"
Zhu Hou smiled bitterly: "Mr. Chang, don't worry, there is no misunderstanding in that matter." ”
He turned around again and said: "It was this Brother Li who took the life of the dog - I have already asked him, Zhu Yi killed the people in Sanguan City, and he didn't listen to half of my words, which almost ruined my foundation." Brother Li has eliminated harm for the people, and I will never blame him. ”
Chang Qiuwu was stunned as Li Bochen's previous reaction. Then he wanted to laugh again, but he realized that it was not appropriate to laugh, so he straightened his face, let go of Zhu Hou's hand and waved him, and said in a deep voice: "General Zhu has a heart for the rivers and seas, and his bearing is amazing, I often admire it! General Zhu, yesterday my ancestor had already said that if the general would come to the door again, he asked me to introduce him. ”
Zhu Hou's face immediately showed joy, and said: "Okay, good, good! Then I'll be in a while—it's not appropriate, wait for me to prepare the big gift tomorrow, and then invite Mr. Chang out of the mountain!"
Then he turned his face to Li Bochen and said: "Brother Li, if you don't fight, you don't know each other, and the grievances between you and me will be written off!"
shouted to the people around him: "Go back and withdraw the chase order!"
The attendants around him looked reluctant, but they all had to respond.
Chang Qiuwu didn't seem to be surprised by Zhu Hou's style, but the more Li Bochen looked at it, the more puzzled he became...... Is there really such a person in the world? He asked himself, even if he encountered this kind of thing, he would not be able to do it to such a point.
At this time, Chang Qiuwu said again: "General Zhu, that monster-"
Zhu Hou pointed dozens of steps away: "It's dead." ”
Chang Qiuwu said: "Then please ask General Zhu to send it to me." This thing is weird, I'll have to ask my ancestors to take a look. I still have a few words to say to Brother Li. ”
Zhu Hou smiled: "Okay." ”
He turned and walked away, beckoning his retinue to move the monster's corpse.
Chang Qiuwu walked in front of Li Bochen, and when he saw Zhu Hou's people walking away, he stared at him first, and then whispered, "You ......"
Li Bochen sighed and said, "Mr. Chang, my mother Chang Tingwei." ”
Chang Qiuwu shook his head and nodded again, his face changing. Suddenly bowed and said, "Cousin forgive my sins, the junior didn't know how to count etiquette before, and he was offended." ”
Li Bochen was startled, hurriedly held his hand, and said, "Mr. Chang, don't call me that!"
joked with Xiaoman before, and once said that in terms of seniority, he was Chang Qiuwu's cousin. But now this forty-year-old man is really called like this, he only feels uncomfortable, and cold sweat is about to run down.
But Chang Qiuwu shook his head and said, "How can you mess up the etiquette, cousin grandpa-"
Li Bochen hurriedly said: "If you really want to call, then call me...... Brother Li: Is this okay? Otherwise, Zhu Hou will feel weird. ”
Chang Qiuwu frowned, but finally changed his words and said, "Okay, that junior is rude...... Brother Li. ”
Li Bochen breathed a sigh of relief, turned his face to look, and saw that Zhu Hou's people had come out with an empty horse and moved the monster's corpse together. When they were done, they didn't come again, but waited on the sidelines.
This Zhu Hou really respects Chang Qiuwu, but he doesn't know if he is sincere. But if not, it shows that this person is really a dragon and phoenix among people.
Chang Qiuwu also glanced at him and said, "This is not the place to talk, let's go home, let's go home first-the ancestor must be very happy!"
Li Bochen thought for a while and said, "Okay." ”
The two walked over, Zhu Hou looked very happy, and asked his entourage to let the two horses out, and the group walked along the river at the bottom of the valley to the outside of the mountain, while the retinue trotted behind.
After walking for a while, Zhu Hou said: "Mr. Chang, Brother Li, how did you catch this thing? I blocked it several times, and it ran away!"
Chang Qiuwu smiled and said, "The main thing is not my credit, but Brother Li's bravery." Without him, I would have been dead by the time you saw me. ”
Zhu Houyi raised his eyebrows, turned his face to look at Li Bochen, and said, "Oh? I really didn't expect it—Brother Li, what did you do in the past?"
When he said this, he laughed out loud: "Look at my memory, Brother Li was a general in the past! A serious general is not comparable to me, a grass-headed general." Brother Li, I heard that you killed someone in the Sui Realm, and now that you have come to me and settled here, I am eager to seek talent—how about coming to my mountain? I don't ask you to serve me, I am a general, and you will be a deputy general!"
