This man has a big voice and a loud voice. At this time, he walked to the door of Meng Niangzi's house, and when he heard this movement, the door opened suddenly, and the heads of the two children poked out. But as soon as he saw this posture, he immediately shrank back. Soon Meng Niangzi also walked to the door, and when she saw Li Bochen, she was stunned for a moment, and then smiled again.

Li Bochen was a little embarrassed by her, and wanted to laugh, but he still made a straight face and only nodded to her.

When they got to the town, they called out a lot of people. Following this "army" all the way, they talked about it. Although Li Bochen couldn't hear it clearly, he could also hear that there seemed to be some joy in those voices. After walking like this for a while, I don't feel a little cramped like before.

In his memory, when he was the commander of Wuliang City in the past, he was surrounded by his generals when he was on the peak for review. But in his memory, he knew that those soldiers were not his own soldiers, but the soldiers of the official family, and he was just a commander, not a high-ranking official.

However, at this moment, he looked around while riding his horse, and saw that the sky was high, the earth was boundless, the fertile soil in the fields was connected, and the mountains and rivers in the distance were stacked on top of each other. Are these lands now considered to be their own? Then he has really become a lord of a town!

Therefore, the feeling at this time is different from that of the Infinite City, even if there are only about fifty soldiers behind him, there is gradually some pride in his heart - the height of a hundred thousand points begins with a single step. Today's first monarchs of the six kingdoms of Li, Sui, Gao, Jiang, Yu, and Wei have also embarked on the road of hegemony little by little!

They went around the town and headed to Jinghu Mountain. At this time, there were more and more people behind him, some carrying baskets, some carrying sacks, and some pushing carts. Li Bochen used to walk around the tunli, and saw that the houses were scattered scattered across the field, and there seemed to be not too many people. But now I realize that Mengjiatun should indeed have a thousand people - the villages and towns in Beidi are different from those in Sui, and they occupy a wide area. There are still many families living in the fertile hills on both sides of the market town, which are beyond the sight. It will be a long time before they go to Jinghu Mountain, and then the people will spread the news of the grain release ten, ten, ten, hundreds, I don't know how many more people will come!

When he got out of the town, he looked behind him and saw that there were dense human heads, two or three hundred. couldn't help but whisper: "Fengzhi, so many people, is there enough food on Jinghu Mountain?"

Chang Qiuwu said: "Don't worry, after Zhu Hou came here, he collected a lot of grain. I've counted it before, and it's enough for a thousand people for a month. But we didn't all release it, and each person received two catties to reassure people's hearts. ”

Li Bochen couldn't help but secretly smack his tongue -- wouldn't it cost tens of thousands of catties for a thousand people to use it for a month? Zhu Hou had only been here for two or three months, and he had scavenged all the belongings of the people in the vicinity, right? When I saw him throwing money on the road before, I thought he was a bold person, but now I see that he is really "taken from the people and used for the people."

But even so, these people have not seen any dissatisfaction. Perhaps in their eyes, it is better to live peacefully in this world than anything else.

He was originally a little worried that the villagers would loot the grain when they saw it, but now he was relieved.

After another half an hour, the group of men and horses had arrived at the mirror lake. I saw that the mirror lake was endless, like a small sea. Due to the relative cold of the north, the lake here is clear, the shore is paved with white sand, and you can see pebbles, fish and shrimp in the shallow water. The grass on both sides of the lake shore is green, and as far as the eye can see, there are large areas of flat land. Li Bochen said in his heart, if someone can reclaim all the land, I don't know how many people can be fed - it's just that this mirror lake has beautiful scenery, and the lake is better to be empty.

Looking further away, you can see Jinghu Mountain. The mountain is relatively gentle, and there is a small road on the eastern slope into the mountain forest and up to the mountain. Li Bochen looked up again, and could vaguely see one or two wooden houses.

He had wanted to move here in the future, but he was disillusioned when he saw it. Although this is a mountain, there is no danger to defend. Although there is a dense forest cover, it is not easy for the enemy below the mountain to go up the mountain, and it is difficult for the defenders on the mountain to deploy. Zhu Hou chose this place, which should be due to the nature of bandits, and did not take into account the needs of large-scale operations.

But in fact, his current residence is not good - in the final analysis, Mengjiatun is suitable for living and working, but not suitable for being a military village, and he must find a way to keep this place in the future.

At this time, because of the approaching Jinghu Mountain and the crowd of people, the people behind should be more and more excited. I don't know who started and began to praise Chang Xiu and Chang Qiuwu for being dedicated to the people and making great merits. After shouting, Li Bochen heard Fang Yan shouting: "The prince has no borders!"

Those people should not have known what this "prince" was, but when they saw the people behind Chang Xiu shouting like this, they also began to shout something like "longevity without borders", "the emperor's protection", "great wealth and nobility" and so on. Li Bochen heard it funny, and said in his heart that this is going to be heard by the Son of Heaven, and he has to kill someone, haha.

Although he knew that these people were shouting for food, and they might not have any true feelings, he also felt very comfortable in his heart, and said secretly, sure enough, many people say that they are not greedy for power, but in fact, they have not tasted power. I'm barely an indifferent person, right? But now that I'm coaxed by these voices, I can't help but feel fluttering.

But at this moment, I suddenly heard a voice in my ear say coldly: "...... What bullshit princes, what emperors. The emperor is obviously in Li Shengyi's place. ”

And again: "...... Hmph, when the general comes out of the mountain, the first one to kill this dog thief first!"

Li Bochen was shocked in his heart, if it weren't for Chang Qiuwu leading the horse in front of him, he would have almost strangled. He subconsciously looked to the left and right - there was no one.

But the voice just now was especially clear in the sound of praise, and it was definitely not his own auditory hallucination. Li Bochen was stunned for a while, and suddenly realized that it should be similar to the situation in the manor outside Sanguan City.

That day, he knocked several bandit leaders to the ground, and after wandering in the world, he suddenly heard a voice in his ear, "...... What's wrong with him? Is his heart soft?", and then another voice said, "Beichen is above! Is it because he is secretly wounded!? Heaven will not stop me...... Use that thunderbolt!"

At that time, he guessed that maybe it was because he had touched some kind of spiritual doorway, so he listened to these two words of prayer to Beichen.

And the two sentences I listened to just now were the same as the situation at that time!?

But the people behind him were also talking about themselves and mentioning "the emperor's blessing", why didn't they listen to what they said in their hearts?

Could it be that the person who prays in his heart can only be listened to unless his attention is firmly focused on him and his emotions are particularly intense?

But in any case, who is the person who thinks about these two sentences in his heart? He said, "Wait for the general to come out of the mountain"—does he mean Zhu Hou? Zhu Hou really did not die and fled into the mountain? So now he must be hiding in the cave ruins of the Thundercloud Cave, right?

This person must know Zhu Hou's whereabouts. may have been in contact with Zhu Hou, but now it has become a fine work left in Tunli. Li Bochen couldn't help but want to look back, but he knew that at this time, he couldn't tell the person at a glance, and maybe he would startle the snake, so he endured it.

He turned his face to Chang Qiuwu and said, "Fengzhi, you said that there are only more than fifty soldiers now?"

Chang Qiuwu said: "Yes." As soon as Zhu Hou died, the bandits under his command immediately ran away half - they were originally eating and drinking with him. After that, I heard that the city was going to be besieged, and I ran a lot more. But that's good, those who remain now are either rooted in Tun or desperate Jianghu people. I've observed these days, and some people, although they have some minor problems, are not considered bandits. ”

Li Bochen frowned and said, "Do you know which ones are from the rivers and lakes?"

Chang Qiuwu was stunned: "Junhou, do you want to drive them all away?"

Li Bochen couldn't tell him what he was listening to. This kind of thing cannot be explained by "Beichen Luck Inheritor". He can let these people know that they are the descendants of Beichen, but he will never let anyone know that they are Beichen.

He said: "Some people in the rivers and lakes may not be good, but I will not be indiscriminate." I've also walked through the rivers and lakes before, and now that I know my identity, I can take a good look. ”

Chang Qiuwu smiled: "Oh, good." When the food is finished, you will also speak to them, and I will show you at that time. ”

Li Bochen nodded. After those two sentences just now, the floating feelings in my heart are all gone. He said in his heart, I'm still not very down-to-earth. If someone suddenly came to kill me just now, I was afraid that I would be attacked without any defense.

Looking around again, although I still feel that the world is vast and there are beautiful words in my ears, my heart is finally contained. At present, there are still 2,000 soldiers on the periphery of the formation, and it is also possible to block them, and it also depends on the endless formation. But that formation was also learned by Sui Buxiu from others. If someone who is also proficient in this formation comes, I am afraid that it will be broken immediately.

Today's experience is to appease and win people's hearts. But if you don't have the ability to keep this place in the future, people's hearts will immediately disperse. At that time, few of these villagers would recognize any prince or not.

After walking for a while, we finally reached the front of the mountain. Li Bochen thought that he would continue to lead people up the mountain, but Chang Qiuwu stopped the horse and said, "Junhou, please dismount." ”

Li Bochen looked ahead and saw that at the intersection of the mountain, there was an incense case under an old locust tree. Chang Qiuwu took the horse away, Chang Xiu walked up to Li Bochen and saluted, and said in a deep voice: "Junhou, please stand in front of the incense case." ”

Li Bochen was stunned - could it be that he walked through the street like a champion just now, what else is there to pay attention to, and what is part of the etiquette?

At this time, seeing that he stopped, the soldiers behind him also stood down, and divided into two rows by the side of the road. Seeing them like this, those villagers also stopped, and with a curious and happy look on their faces, they looked at Li Bochen.

Li Bochen had to walk to the incense case and stand down. Chang Xiu did another trick on him, turned around and said, "Fathers and elders, the country is difficult to come, the artifact is shattered, and the people are displaced—"

He spoke with a full sense of energy, louder than the soldier who had called for the people to come and get the food. Li Bochen listened for a moment and realized what he was talking about. It's just that the sentence is obscure, and he listens to it for a while, and he doesn't know what he's talking about. Those villagers should have been frightened, and they all slowly stopped their voices and stood up one by one.

Li Bochen felt like a statue at this time, he didn't move, he didn't say it, he simply looked into the crowd, wanting to see if he could see any clues from those soldiers. At such a glance, I saw Sui endlessly. He was dressed in a azure suit, followed by two feather guards, and stood on the side of the road with his hands behind his back. Seeing Li Bochen seeing him, he smiled and nodded. Li Bochen felt that there was something cunning in his smile, and he didn't know if he was the same when he was given a title in the national capital.

Chang Xiu spoke for another quarter of an hour before finally saying, "...... Linxijun's reward will come soon, and reinforcements will come to relieve the plight of the father. ”

When people heard him say what was in front of them, they didn't react much. At most, when he heard him mention that Li Bochen was the queen of Wu Weihou, he stared at him vigorously. But after listening to the last few sentences, a burst of cheers suddenly broke out, and it should be really joyful.

As soon as Chang Xiu's voice fell, he bowed his hand to Li Bochen and said, "Congratulations, congratulations, congratulations." ”

Li Bochen couldn't cry or laugh in his heart-presumably the biggest official these villagers had seen in the past was just a small official in Hou Cheng, and he really had no idea what martial arts were waiting for. At this time, it seems like an ordinary family is doing a happy event. But Chang Xiu's face was solemn and looked satisfied. Li Bochen thought to himself, this grandfather must have presided over this kind of occasion when he was the Shaoqing of Taichang Temple in the past, but now that it has been so long, it should be a good time.

Chang Xiu said a few more words, and finally announced the release of grain. Li Bochen also didn't need to make a statue anymore, and hurriedly walked to the side, watching the soldiers carry rice and grain from the mountain one by one, and Chang Qiuwu removed the incense case again, and made a desk for keeping accounts.

Li Bochen let out a sigh and walked to the shade of the tree and stood. After riding all the way, now that the sun was rising again, and with a thick cloak on his back, he felt sweaty on his body. But every villager who received the grain said to him from afar, "Thank you, the prince," and he had no choice but to stand reservedly and ask himself to make a majestic appearance.

Listening to the sound of footsteps beside him, he glanced at the afterglow, it was Sui Buzhi. Sui Buxiu stood down beside him and said in a low voice, "Brother Li, how do you feel?"

Li Bochen smiled bitterly: "I feel like a fool." ”

Sui Buxiu smiled: "I have experienced this kind of thing several times, and I really don't feel happy." ”

He glanced at Chang Xiu, who was standing not far away talking to a few old men, and said softly: "But the matter of etiquette is also a good thing. You see, Chang Qiuwu is much older than you, and his realm is higher than you, so he still has to call you his cousin grandfather obediently. Your grandfather is your elder, and he has to salute you and call you a prince. Etiquette is also the way to control. ”

Li Bochen didn't know why he suddenly said this, glanced at him, but saw Sui Buxiu have a slight smile on his face. He was stunned - these words of Sui Buxiu didn't seem to have some deep meaning, what were they referring to?

But Sui Buxiu touched it in his arms again, handed over a small jade, and said, "Brother Li, is it hot? Put this summer jade on your body, and it will be cool immediately." ”

He had already received a horse lance from him last night, and now he didn't want to take his things anymore, so he said, "Thank you for your kindness." But it's nothing, it's still bearable. ”

Sui Buxiu flipped his hand, took the jade into his arms, and said, "It's okay." ”

The two were speechless for a while, but Li Bochen suddenly remembered one thing - he once suspected that Sui Buxiu had fallen under the magic of Princess Zhenluo of the demon clan and leaked military information. Although I thought about it after thinking about it and felt that the time was not right, the doubts in my heart were still unresolved. Then he said: "Brother Sui, how did the Infinite City break?"
