When he slashed this knife, his figure had already begun to fall, but with the strength of this fall, this knife was fast and ruthless. After more than a month of hard work, he had learned how to use the spiritual power in his body to stir up the sword on this magic knife, so he saw a glimmer of light on the blade, and the beams and pillars around his body were immediately cut off silently.

He fell to the ground, heard the roof creak, and the severed beams and pillars fell down. Lin Qiao let out a low snort, but immediately covered his mouth. Li Bochen raised his head and stared upwards, still able to feel the feeling of the Yin Soldier—the strange feeling there became more and more intense.

But there was nothing unusual in the room, and there was no sound. Li Bochen held his breath and stared, walked a few steps on the floor with a knife, and said in a deep voice: "When do you want to hide? Isn't Your Excellency going to check on me? Li is here!"

Still no response.

Lin Qiao couldn't help but say, "Brother Li—"

Li Bochen raised his hand, stopped her, and said, "Bi Hai has already told you all about it." This Miss Lin, I'm going to take it with me too—"

As he spoke, he felt the soles of his feet slippery for a while, and he looked down slightly, only to see that water seemed to seep out of the wooden floor—no, not water, but a slightly viscous, pine-resin-like liquid, glowing a faint red in the light of the fire.

Two ticks were heard—two more drops of liquid seeping out of the severed beams and falling to the ground. His heart moved, and he squinted his eyes and looked around, only to realize that at some point, the liquid began to seep out of several places on the walls and floor. There were especially many broken parts of the beams and pillars that he had cut off, first dripping, and then suddenly converging into a thin line, and falling to the ground with a clatter, bleeding.

Then, the walls and floors seemed to be broken by some force, and there was a crackling sound, and many wooden thorns came out. And the broken beams and pillars also began to tremble slightly, only to hear a crash, suddenly disconnected, and fell to the ground.

There were four wooden pillars that fell, with thigh-thick and short arms. Li Bochen said in his heart, could it be that the one who is hiding is also proficient in Taisu magic like Yan Baiheng, and has hidden his figure?

This is the blood that he sheds?

He was about to look up again, but he felt that the Yin soldiers who had been guarding the roof had fallen back to the ground, surrounding the four wooden pillars that had fallen.

What's weird about this stuff?!

Li Bochen thought about it for a while, and said in his heart, Could it be that these things are formation eyes or something? Immediately stepped forward with a knife, regardless of the three-seven-twenty-one, and slashed at one of the wooden pillars again, and said, "Haven't Your Excellency shown up yet!?"

The wooden pillar was cut open by him, and "blood water" gushed out again, this time not slowly oozing, but as if a watermelon had been broken, and the sawdust mixed with blood and water flowed to the ground.

Finally, a voice sounded: "...... Okay, don't do it again!"

— from the pillar!

Li Bochen was taken aback, but he didn't retreat, only stood staring at the wooden pillar with a knife. Then I saw that these wooden pillars suddenly trembled slightly, and slowly poked out many roots and dug into the floor, as if trees were taking root and sprouting in spring, but hundreds of times faster.

Later, new shoots gradually sprouted on the wooden pillars, probing into thin branches. But the twigs, which were so soft and vine-like, snaked along the floor that they tangled together, pulling the five pillars together.

Then green leaves bloomed from the branches, and they became oval clumps. Then another voice came from the leaf group: "What a magic knife!"

The green leaves withered and collapsed, and a man stood up from the leaf.

The man was burly and naked. The torso is full of wrinkles, like an old man, but just looking at the face, it is not very old, only feeling that it is about fifty. It's just that the appearance is a little strange - two thin eyebrows, thin two eyes, and a very small nose. But the mouth is extremely wide, like a catfish.

At the beginning, Bi Hai gave him a portrait of Ye Lu, and Li Bochen only felt that this person's appearance had some characteristics, and he didn't think it was very strange. But now that he saw the face of a real person, and compared the portrait, he knew that it was indeed Ye Lu—he didn't expect this person to be so funny, and he almost laughed out loud.

But the next moment he retracted his expression and said, "Are you Ye Lu?"

The man snorted, and his body trembled, and he gave birth to a large number of small whiskers and weaved them together, which soon turned into a garment that covered his body. Then he said, "Exactly." General Li's magic knife is really amazing, it can hurt me. ”

His method of putting on clothes is very similar to Bi Hai. Li Bochen's heart jumped, and he suddenly knew who this Ye Lu was - he was not a person, but a Sumeru, a Sumeru person. When Bi Hai said that he was caught by Ye Lu and refined into a ghost child, Li Bochen had some doubts in his heart, thinking that if he was really as powerful as he claimed, how could he be deviated by others?

Now that I realize that this Ye Lu is also a demon and a Sumeru, it all makes sense. When the fellow saw the fellow, he was shot in the back - no wonder Bi Hai would be hit.

It's no wonder that I didn't find him before - it is said that the people of Sumeru have been wooden since they were children, and they are half-human and half-wooden monsters. He changed into a wooden beam across the roof, and of course he couldn't see it. But the Yin Soldier was more sensitive to people's essence, so he noticed something different.

He said that his magic knife was good, and he probably meant that it could hurt him. Li Bochen had heard that the Sumeru people were the body of a wooden fetus, so they were not afraid of slashing with knives and axes. But his magic knife is not an extraordinary thing, it must have caused him to suffer a big loss and forced him to show up.

But...... What's even stranger is the man's attitude at the moment.

He was hidden and discovered by himself, and now he is afraid of his own weapons, but he doesn't seem to be in a hurry, is there anything else to rely on?

Li Bochen said coldly: "It's good to know this knife—what about the other person?"

Ye Lu smiled slightly: "General Li should have guessed it." He got what he wanted from this clever girl, and he had gone to another place. ”

And so it was. Li Bochen glanced at Lin Qiao and saw her shrinking in the corner of the room, her eyes full of fear. Thinking that this Ye Lu had never shown the ability to change before, now that she was an ordinary woman who saw such a strange thing, it was rare that she didn't shout.

He said, "Miss Lin, you can say everything you know, don't be afraid of him." ”

But before Lin Qiao could speak, Ye Lu said again: "If General Li wants to hear it, I'm afraid that I know more now, so it's better for me to say it." ”

After saying this, he walked straight past Li Bochen, sat down at the tea table, and said with a smile: "To be honest, I didn't plan to show up tonight. But I didn't expect this Qiao girl to be bold, and General Li's eyesight was also good. Then I'll be honest. ”

He made a cup of tea for himself, put it down with a slight moistening of his lips, and said, "When Mrs. Chang passed by here back then, she rested at Lin Qiaozui's food shop. But it was the height of summer, and she contracted the epidemic and fell ill. This Qiao girl's mother is called Lin Xiao'e, who opened a shop alone and supported a pair of children alone. Seeing that Mrs. Chang was alone and sympathetic to the same illness, he took her in at home and asked a doctor to see her. ”

But Mrs. Chang was very ill and took nearly two months to get better. After she recovered from her illness, she saw that Lin Xiao'e was kind and simple, and she also felt close to her, and she came and went as sisters. In another month, I even told me where I came from. ”

Although Lin Xiao'e didn't know why Mrs. Chang ran away, she felt that it should be a great thing, so she didn't ask anymore. At that time, Mrs. Chang was pregnant, and Lin Xiao'e was also pregnant. It's a pity that one of the sisters with different surnames knows who the child's biological father is but can't say, and the other knows that the child's biological father is separated by yin and yang. ”

"So, I also ordered a baby kiss. Ye Lu squinted his eyes and smiled at Li Bochen, and then at Lin Qiao, "said that if the child is born as a boy and a girl, he will become an in-laws." Mrs. Chang is a person of temperament, I guess she was hot-headed at the beginning, and then regretted it. ”

"Later, when this Qiao girl was five or six years old, Li Guo died. Someone ran to Lin Qiaozui's restaurant to ask Mrs. Chang's whereabouts back then, poor Lin Xiao'e felt that it was her own in-laws and sisters, and she would rather die than say, so she found an opportunity to grab a knife, stabbed her heart with a knife, and died. ”

"General Li asked someone to inquire yesterday afternoon, and the man said that he had been killed by a gangster, right? Actually, I was talking about this situation -- it is really touching to be so affectionate and righteous. Girl Qiao should know about these for the first time. ”

Li Bochen was still thinking about whether Ye Lu had any plans to suddenly reveal everything at this moment, so he had been secretly on guard. When he heard the section on the marriage of his fingertips, he couldn't help but glance at Lin Qiao, and when he saw that her eyes were evasive, as if she had already known, he was slightly surprised in his heart, and secretly said that this should be true.

Now that she heard how her mother died, she was even more moved, and couldn't help but turn her face to look at Lin Qiao again - but she was also dumbfounded, and she couldn't come back to her senses for a long time, and she knew that these should be true.

He felt a pain in his heart, and couldn't help but say, "Miss Lin, what happened later?"

Ye Lu replied for her: "What else can two helpless children? Later, the boy died in the army, and the girl ended up in the current situation—not because she was frivolous by nature, but because she sold herself for money to save her brother from a serious illness. ”

After saying this, he sighed: "General Li, this family is very kind to you and Mrs. Chang. ”

Li Bochen was silent for a moment, and said, "Ye Lu, are you saying this, do you want to use her to blackmail me?"

Ye Lu smiled: "Yes and no. Does General Li know Mrs. Chang's background and where she came from? I might as well tell you that Mrs. Chang was the youngest daughter of the Shaoqing of Li Guotaichang Temple in the past. Your father is the third son of Li Jin, the Marquis of Li Guowu, named Li Xianzhong. ”

"Back then, these two fell in love and secretly tasted the forbidden fruit, but there was a result. Li Xianzhong was afraid of weakness and things, and he didn't know what to do for a while, so he told his personal servant about it. It is said that with Mrs. Chang's background and appearance, if Ming Media is marrying later, this matter will have a happy result. ”

"Li Xianzhong had made many mistakes at that time, which made Wu Weihou unhappy, and he was worried that this matter would be leaked, and he would make his father angry. I guess he was trying to tell his old servant to think of a way, to hold off for a while, and to bring it up later. But the old servant would be wrong and wanted to dispose of Mrs. Chang secretly. ”

"Taichang Temple Shaoqing...... Oh, in the eyes of ordinary people, it is extremely noble, but what is it when Wu Weihou is there? Mrs. Chang was fortunate not to die, so she simply fled by herself for fear of affecting her relatives. In fact, if she had to tell her father about this, there may not be no room for change. It's just the providence of God. ”

Ye Lu took another sip of tea and squinted his eyes at Li Bochen: "Then General Li guesses again, who is the person who killed Lin Xiao'e more than ten years ago?" ha...... In fact, that person is not trying to harm Mrs. Chang, but someone from her family - trying to find her and find you. But by mistake, it became a tragedy again. ”

"I am talking about what we have found before. Close the lips from the mouth of the girl, and there is what I say to you now. General Li, if I want to disadvantage you and blackmail you, why should I tell you?"

Every incident and everything he said made Li Bochen's heart set off turbulent waves. But he could only force his mind, and it was not good to see what kind of expression Lin Qiao was at this time, and said in a low voice: "When you plotted against me with the ghost boy sarcophagus, I am afraid that you didn't think so." ”

Ye Lu smiled: "At that moment, at this time. If General Li were the spirit master of an ordinary secret spirit, my sarcophagus might have taken your life. But now I know that you are a descendant of Beichen—how dare I harm you?"

Li Bochen sneered: "You should know that I won't abandon any previous suspicions because of your words." If you really think that you understand my person, you should also know that because of what you did in the Sui Realm, there is only one way to die now. What other means, let's say!"

Ye Lu looked at him, suddenly sighed, and said, "Okay, I was wrong. He had told me when he left that General Lee should have reacted like this, but I didn't believe it. Now I see, I was wrong. ”

He slowly stood up and walked to the window, lifted the cotton curtain, and pushed the window open. The night breeze outside came in with a whining sound. Li Bochen thought that he was going to escape, but seeing his calm gait and indifferent expression, he didn't look like it.

Ye Lu said with a sideways face by the window: "Fortunately, I have made some preparations, so that we can continue to talk, so as not to spoil the big thing of that person." ”

Li Bochen smiled coldly: "Oh, it seems that you have found a helper." ”

Ye Lu said: "Yes and no. General Lee, let's take a look. ”

Whatever the man's intentions, there really doesn't seem to be any intention of doing anything at the moment. Li Bochen hesitated slightly, took a few steps forward, and looked out the window.

The backyard of this Jinghui Building is also lit with lights, so things in the courtyard can be seen clearly. At a glance, he saw that there were three more people in the courtyard. The first one shivered in the cold wind, as if waiting for someone. Looking at his figure, he recognized it as Hun San'er.

There is also a person with his back on his back, and he can't see his face clearly. But looking at his clothes and thinking about it a little, it seems that he is the guy who entertained him at Li Zhu'er's restaurant. There is another one, the shopkeeper who chatted about the money exchange yesterday afternoon.

The three men stood in the courtyard, as if they didn't recognize each other, and didn't talk to each other. After a while, a maid with a cloak came out of the first floor, said a few words to the three men, and gave them some money, and the three of them dispersed.

Li Bochen's heart moved, and he said, "These are all the people you arranged?"

Ye Lu said with a smile: "I don't know who General Li will find after entering the city, and how to arrange it? But the general rest assured, these people don't know what is going on. ”

He closed the window again, lowered the cotton curtain, and said, "But it is indeed my helper—I already know that the general is kind-hearted, and he will not see innocent people implicated." I just want to tell the general that with my strength, I may not be able to help you, but I can make everyone you meet have another chance. ”
