Chapter One Hundred and Seven
In the middle of the night, the sky was cloudy and it was raining heavily. At first it was a bean-sized raindrop, then it turned into graupel and then snow. It was freezing overnight, and the cold wind howled at the entrance of the cave like someone was crying.
When the sky was slightly bright, Li Bochen walked out of the stone room and saw Sui Ziang gathered next to the stone stove, frozen and unconscious. He crouched down and probed his snort, but fortunately he was still alive. Before, he tricked Ye Chengchou all night, coaxed him to say a few ways to deal with Xu Cheng, the head of the Zhangcheng Conference, and refined the Yin soldiers according to the plan, but unconsciously forgot about this one in the stone road.
If you really freeze to death, it's a troublesome thing.
So he went outside the cave and chopped some wood, and then lit the fire again with the embers in the stove, and asked Sui Ziang to roast it for a while. Touch his forehead again, and it will no longer be hot. The body tempered by the Qi Cultivation Realm is indeed different from that of mortals, and this injury that can kill ordinary people has been carried over in this way.
He ate some snow and smoked horse meat, washed his face, and woke Sui Ziang up. I don't know if it was because of the catastrophe of life and death last night, although Sui Ziang's face was still resentful and resentful, and he didn't say a word, he didn't refuse the food. After eating a pound of snow, he burped, stared at Li Bochen for a while, and said, "You must kill me, don't you?"
Li Bochen was silent for a while, and then said, "If there are no accidents, yes." ”
Sui Ziang smiled coldly: "What accident?"
"For example, if you suddenly find out in your conscience that you will repent, and you will not do anything bad in the future. But I don't think it's very likely. ”
Sui Ziang smiled again, not knowing what he was thinking. But today, he seems to be a completely different person than a few days ago, and Li Bochen can understand it. A person is pampered and pampered, but if he has experienced life and death and has not been completely defeated, there will indeed be such a reborn change.
"Li Bochen, there is one thing I don't understand, why do you have to meddle in your affairs and cause trouble?"
Li Bochen thought for a while: "You mean, why don't I leave Zhangshan now without you, instead of saving people and taking your life?"
He glanced out of the cave, and when he saw that the light was not yet fully bright, he sat down beside the stove and said, "Do you know how many people have died in my hands?"
Sui Ziang sneered: "What, do you think I'll be afraid? I'm like this now, there's nothing to be afraid of." You're such a bloody butcher, what?"
Li Bochen shook his head: "So far, I have only taken the lives of seven people in total. Three were in the time of the Immeasurable City. There were two people who wanted to be deserters, but they ran to Lotus Mountain in the middle of the night and were discovered by their leading ten generals, and the two killed him. After I brought them back, I personally beheaded them. This is done under military law. ”
"The other is also in the city of immeasurables, on the northern plains. One of my soldiers was disemboweled by the demon beast, but he couldn't die for a while, so he begged me to give him a good time, and I did it. ”
"The other one is in the Li Mansion, I fell for the trick and killed him by mistake. ”
"There are three more, two of them are going to kill me, and I protect myself. The other is Ye Chengchou, I am also for self-preservation. ”
"I don't like to kill, and I don't like to kill indiscriminately. Li Bochen looked at Sui Ziang and said, "There is one thing I don't understand. You brought a Jiaoren to Zhangshan yesterday and took her life, and you wanted to take my life, but now you think that I want your life to be nosy—why? Just because your surname is Sui? I have already said when I was from Yunxuan, you look at others like insects on the ground, and maybe in the eyes of others, you are too. ”
Sui Ziang was stunned for a long time, sneered, and moved his mouth, but didn't say anything. After a while, he said, "Ridiculous." ”
Li Bochen nodded, loosened the rope for him and told him to move his body slightly, and then tied him up behind his back, so that he could not move like last night, and then walked out of the cave and jumped off the stone platform.
The snow was falling heavier and heavier, but there was no wind, and he didn't know if it was because of the death of Zhang Shanjun. I looked at the main peak of Zhangshan Mountain again and found that the peak had disappeared.
He came out today to lie in ambush beside the road into the mountain, to see if the people from the government and the yamen would reply. But after staring at the disappeared main peak for a while, he turned around and walked over there first. He couldn't tell why, he thought he wanted to see what it had become and what the power of the thunder punishment was, and he was also planning to hang Zhang Shanjun.
When he walked near the main peak, he found that this place was more tragic than he had imagined. The hill was gone, and the nearby trees were lying outward, and the ground seemed to be swept away, smooth and smooth. The ground and the fallen trees were covered with snow, and when he looked through the snow, he saw that the trees had turned into black charcoal.
The original mountain peak is now a large lake, and although it is much colder than usual today, and there is snow, the mist on the surface of the lake is steaming, and the snow along the shore is steamed. The lake had nowhere to go, so it flowed out of the mountain, and there were many low and high waterfalls.
In a few years, this place will become a wonder in Zhangcheng, but no one will remember what happened.
He walked a little further, and could see that it was not as clear as when he was far away. The mist in the lake grew thicker and thicker as it progressed a dozen paces away, and the feet were covered with wet mud, almost covering the boots. It would be troublesome to be ambushed in such a place, so he sighed and planned to leave.
But as soon as he turned around, he suddenly heard the sound of water.
He immediately crouched down against a charcoal tree and looked towards the place where the sound had come from.
He was now nearly twenty paces from the lake, and he was slightly condescending because the main peak had been bombarded into a valley. Listening to the sound, it should be more than twenty paces away, but it can't be seen clearly through the fog. He suspected that it was someone sent by the government yamen, so he pulled out Yaohou Fu and lowered his body and slowly walked towards the lake.
After walking three or four steps, I heard the sound of water, which did not look like there was anything in the water, but like someone hitting the water, and the sound was quite loud, not like a fish. At this time, I finally saw a hazy human figure in the mist, as if taking a bath. Li Bochen was stunned, and said in his heart, who would run here to take a bath at this time? Could it be the person who delivered the letter?
As soon as he thought of this, the man in the water suddenly jumped up and jumped onto the shore. Li Bochen's heart jumped, and he was about to raise his knife, but he suddenly saw the appearance of that person clearly-
It's Li Qiuhu.
She is a Rakshasa and was originally thinly dressed. Today, I also wore a strong suit, but I was soaked in water, and my body curves were exposed. He was stunned, and said in his heart that she was taking a bath here, and he wanted to subconsciously turn around. But my heart skipped another beat—who would take a shower and get dressed? What is she doing here?
Li Qiuhu seemed to be startled when he saw him. But he calmed down before him, and smiled after a while: "Oh, Brother also said that you are a hero, but you will also do things like watching others take a bath?"
