It was almost noon, and Li Bochen arrived in Houcheng. When he was out of the city before, he had seen the wooden notice by the north gate and found his wanted portrait on it. It's just that when the customs were dispersed, the notice was clearly pasted, and now it has been half covered by the new bounty, and the portrait and handwriting are also blurred.

He was a little lucky, but also a little regretful, and said in his heart that I, a "big hero", would soon be forgotten.

They led their horses into the city gates, and went first to the middle street south of the city. At the moment, he only has about a hundred dollars on him, but he has a lot of things to buy, and he has to get some money first. As for how to get it, it had to be a piece of wood—he made another trip to that realm on the way, and it took a lot of effort to cut it down from the almost petrified tree with his magic knife.

This thing has been refined by spiritual power, and it has become an extraordinary thing, and if you can find someone who knows the goods, the problem will be solved.

Middle Street is the most prosperous place in Houcheng, with many shops and pedestrians on the street, looking at it and thinking that it is really a peaceful and prosperous world. He wandered slowly all the way, and eventually found an arms shop.

The shop had a very decent façade and occupied three large rooms. The wooden plaque on the eaves is painted with gold lacquer, and the three big characters of "cutting the gold pavilion" are written on it. He tied his horse to the stake by the door, untied the piece of wood, and walked in with his arms.

He is well-dressed now, and there are not many people in the shop. As soon as the man in the green shirt and hat saw him, he immediately greeted him attentively, led him to the hall and sat down, served refreshments, and said, "Look at the guests, did you come to our house before?"

It was the first time for Li Bochen to be served like this, and he felt very comfortable. But in this trip, I had to find fault first, so I had to secretly say sorry in my heart, and said, "I haven't been here." So let's take a look at what's good in your house? ”

He spoke with a wooden face and an unkind tone. The guy was stunned, but still smiled: "What kind of class do you want to see?"

Li Bochen said: "It doesn't matter which category. I see that your family has a lot of tone, called Cutting Golden Pavilion, you can cut gold and jade if you want to come to everything, right?

He put the piece of wood on the table and said, "You can cut my wood, and I will wrap the things in the shop." ”

The guy was stunned, and couldn't help but turn his face to look at the shopkeeper behind the cabinet. The shopkeeper had already heard what the two of them said clearly, frowned slightly and looked Li Bochen up and down, then looked at the ebony on the table, and glanced at the guy.

Li Bochen saw this in his eyes and said in his heart, is it that I am pretending to be too vigorous? Are they going to call someone to beat me out?

The man got that look, turned and walked to the back of the cabinet, not knowing what he was fiddling with. Then he turned out and walked in front of Li Bochen, holding a small red cloth bag in his hand, and said with a smile: "The guests are far away, you can rest your feet first." These are the intentions of the shop, so please smile. ”

With that, he put the cloth bag next to the ebony. Li Bochen stretched out his hand and lifted the corner of the small cloth bag to take a look, and saw that it was actually Wumo money. He was stunned, and said in his heart, they think of themselves as scoundrels on the street, right?

He didn't know if Hou Cheng had such a rule, and it was too easy to get the five hundred dollars. In fact, the 500 yuan plus his 100 yuan is enough for today's purchase. But he's not really a scoundrel, how can he collect this kind of money?

This shop was indeed arrogant, but it made him feel embarrassed. Li Bochen sighed in his heart and said secretly, I really don't want to be a wicked person.

He stood up, clasped his fists and saluted, saying, "I'm really sorry, I'm not here for this." ”

He pointed to the ebony on the table, "Actually, I want to sell this." ”

The young man had a smile on his face, but when he said this, his smile disappeared, and he took two steps back, and said, "Shopkeeper, this guest said that he came to sell wood." ”

The shopkeeper was also staring at Li Bochen, but at this time, he sneered and said loudly: "Mr. Fang, thank you." ”

After saying this, he didn't look at Li Bochen anymore, and lowered his head to write and calculate in the account book.

Li Bochen was shocked in his heart, and secretly said that he was afraid that this time he would be even more misunderstood-they felt that they were insatiable and wanted more money, right?

At this time, the curtain leading to the back hall was lifted, and a man with a knife came out and said in a cold voice: "Which friend is not happy to come here?"

It turned out to be a salute before a soldier. Li Bochen sighed and was about to explain, but when he saw the person who came out, he was stunned.

When the man saw Li Bochen, he was also stunned. The two stood with wide eyes for a moment before the man hesitated, "...... General Lee?"

Li Bochen also said: "Brother Fang!?"

It was Fang Yan. Li Bochen really didn't expect to see him here—after killing Ye Chengchou in Zhangshan a few months ago, he gave him the cultivation method of Beichen's one-vein spiritual understanding and qi cultivation realm. thought that he would take his mother south to avoid trouble, but he didn't expect him to come to Houcheng as well.

Seeing his current posture, it seems that he has become a town gentleman in this Cutting Gold Pavilion...... When he was in Zhangcheng, he was Sui Ziang's follower, and he didn't have any skills, could it be that his cultivation has improved by leaps and bounds now?

The man and the shopkeeper were taken aback when they saw the two of them like this. After a while, the shopkeeper said, "Mr. Fang, do you recognize this person?"

A smile appeared on Fang Yan's face, and he strode over to Li Bochen and said, "Naturally, I recognize it!" This is what I said when I was chatting with you before, the General Li who passed on my martial arts—he used to be a marching counselor in the Sui Realm Zhuguo General's Mansion!"

As he spoke, he gave Li Bochen a look. Li Bochen couldn't help but smile in his heart-when he was in Zhangcheng, he knew that although Fang Qi was not bad in nature, he liked to go off the rails with swords. At worst, he likes crooked ways.

He said that he passed on his martial arts, and said that he was the marching counselor of the General Mansion of the Zhu State of Sui, and he was pasting gold on his own face before. However, it is really fortunate to meet an old man in a foreign country. Li Bochen smiled and said, "I'm ashamed." ”

The shopkeeper was stunned, hurriedly put down his pen and walked out from behind the cabinet, and said, "Oh, it turned out to be General Li, long admiration, long admiration, disrespect, disrespect!"

Fang Yan glanced at the wood on the table and said, "General Li, why did you come to Houcheng too?"

Li Bochen smiled: "It's a long story. I'm here to sell this wood today. ”

He bowed to the shopkeeper again: "I'm really sorry before." ”

Hearing what he said, the shopkeeper looked stunned on his face, glanced at Fang Qi, but still said: "It's easy to say, it's easy to say, Mr. Fang, it's really rare to meet someone in another country." It's better to accompany General Li to the back hall to talk. If this general has any difficulties, Mr. Fang can tell me again - he is out of company. ”

Li Bochen knew that the shopkeeper was thinking about it again. should have heard that he still said that he wanted to sell wood, so he felt that he didn't even give Fang Yi face, and he still wanted to make money. I was already a little embarrassed before, but looking at Fang Qi at this time, I didn't want to embarrass him or myself. He sighed and said, "Brother Fang, borrow your waist knife and use it." ”

Fang Yan didn't know what he was going to do, but after a little hesitation, he still pulled out the waist knife and handed it to him.

Li Bochen took the knife, turned around and slashed at the ebony. Only a clanging sound was heard, and the steel knife broke in two at once.

The shopkeeper originally turned around to leave, but when he saw this scene, he immediately let out a low cry. The guy rubbed his eyes too, and then said, "Mom, what is this? Is it really wood?"

Li Bochen picked up the ebony, handed it to the shopkeeper, and said, "It's wood, ebony." ”

The shopkeeper was stunned for a moment, and then stretched out his hands to pick it up. He should have thought that this thing might be extremely heavy, but as soon as he got his hands on it, he sighed softly. Because this piece of wood is actually lighter than ordinary wood.

He took a closer look before he said, "General, I take the liberty of asking, what is so particular about this ebony, can you tell me where it came from?"

Li Bochen said: "It was also a coincidence, which was dug out from the ground by chance. As for what's important, I don't know. I just think it's a good material for making knives. ”

The shopkeeper nodded and said, "I have to take a look at the master in the number." General Li, if you can trust the trumpet, please go to the back hall and sit down first. If you really want to sell it, I asked the master to see it, and then I will return to it. ”

Li Bochen breathed a sigh of relief and hurriedly said, "Okay." ”

Fang Yu looked at the shopkeeper, then at the guy, and didn't know what to think, before he said, "General Li, come with me, let's talk first." ”

Li Bochen followed him into the back hall. The back hall is also quite large, with four rows of tables and chairs. As soon as he entered the door, Fang Yan picked up the curtain and said, "Ah Ming, you come." ”

The guy from before walked in and said, "Mr. Fang, what are your orders?"

Fang Yi said: "General Li likes to be quiet, you just guard at this door, and don't allow others to disturb you." ”

The man said, "But Mr. Fang, I still have to take care of the front." ”

Fang Yu winked at him and said, "Wooden head." General Li is here, and your reward will be indispensable for a while. ”

The guy seemed to be a little reluctant, but he had to stand.

Li Bochen didn't know what Fang Qi meant by doing this, but Fang Yun came over again, led him to the other end of the back hall and sat down, before he said, "General Li, did you really rescue people?"

Li Bochen was stunned for a moment, only to realize that he was asking about the Tao family. Then he said, "Rescued." Haven't you heard about me?"

Fang Yu sighed: "I heard." You killed both Sui Yilian and Sui Ziang. To be honest, I didn't think you could live...... You're amazing. ”

Li Bochen smiled bitterly: "What about you?

Only then did Fang Yan show a smile on his face: "Thanks to you, I spent more than 100,000 yuan, and I finally got better." After leaving Zhangcheng, I thought about it, and felt that it was not safe to go south, so I went north, and now I am quite passable here. ”

He added: "I am now in the Qi Cultivation Realm. ”

Li Bochen remembered that he only gave him 50,000 yuan before. He said that he spent more than 100,000 yuan, and he should have sold the jade pendant that was endless. Even if the jade pendant is not sold for 500,000, there should be more than 100,000. Fang Yan should have used the remaining money to buy some natural treasures, and the progress has been so leaps and bounds, right?

But the realm obtained in this way is not stable, and it is very likely to go mad. Even if you don't get lucky, it will be extremely difficult to progress in the future. He thought about it and decided to persuade him.

But before he could speak, Fang Yi lowered his voice and said, "General Li, you tell me the truth, did you kill Zhu Yi?"

Li Bochen was shocked in his heart - how did he know about this!?

Seeing his face, Fang Yan gritted his teeth: "Do you know whose shop this shop is? It's Zhu Hou's industry!"

"Zhu Hou!?" Li Bochen knew that his face had become extremely ugly at this time, and he almost stood up immediately - isn't this a self-defeating net?

Fang Yi immediately raised his hand and pressed him, saying, "Don't move." ”

He glanced at the door again.

Li Bochen breathed a sigh of relief, was silent for a moment, and said, "What does Brother Fang want to do?"

To be honest, he didn't have much confidence in Fang Lao. This person may be a filial son, but a filial son may not be a good person to others. When he was in Zhangcheng, he was desperate, so he helped himself. But now he has spent his birthday in this Hou City, and he has become a town gentleman in Zhu Hou's shop......

At this time, Fang Yi said again: "Zhu Yi's two guards escaped back and reported to Zhu Hou, and Zhu Hou also knew your name." He has a lot of properties in Houcheng, and he also has them in other states. I heard that a few days ago a death order was issued to track you down, and I described your appearance. ”

He stared at Li Bochen, and said, "But others shouldn't recognize it, I just recognized you, and I also think that it looks similar, and the sound is similar." General Li, are you still surnamed Li now?"

He's still thinking about himself. Li Bochen felt a little guilty, so he said: "Now my surname is Chen." ”

Fang Yan sighed: "Alas, I was so excited when I saw you for the first time just now, I accidentally said something that leaked, and I couldn't change my words." If your ebony is really a treasure, the shopkeeper here will definitely go to Zhu Hou to offer the treasure. When the time comes, Zhu Hou will ask, and he will say again, if someone is too careful, he is afraid that something bad will happen!"

Li Bochen's heart also sank. He originally settled here to save his family. But now it seems that the Chang family has been mixed with Zhu Hou, and there is no need to save himself. Then what he had to do was to check Ye Lu's accomplice and find the cave ruins that Qin Le said.

If you can gain something in that ruins, maybe you can start to break through the Qi Cultivation Realm and summon a demon king clone in that realm.

But if his identity is really exposed, he may have to avoid it. I just bought a house yesterday, and Lin Qiao is very happy. If I told her that I was leaving, I don't know how sad she would become!

He couldn't help but sigh and said, "I can go, but it's just ...... I'm afraid I'm going to affect you, Brother Fang. ”

But Fang Qi's eyes were blazing at the moment, and he said, "General Li, since you killed Zhu Yi, why did ......you come to Zhu Hou?" Are you going to kill him too?!"

Kill Zhu Hou? Li Bochen was stunned. He originally thought that Zhu Hou was just a bandit who occupied the mountain and was not strong. Then if he still coerced the Chang family, he would really kill him, and it would be regarded as eliminating harm for the people. But these days, it was found that Zhu Hou had also governed Mengjiatun in a good manner, and he was quite powerful. Well, if it weren't for the last resort, he wouldn't have done that.

In the past, a person had nothing to worry about, and he could take the lead in battle, but before he had promised Lin Qiao that he would no longer go to danger lightly, he had to think about it a lot.
