Chapter 8: Li Bochen's Dinner
There is soup. The soup is made with peppers, potatoes and cold mushrooms, and thickened with potato flour. There were also four loaf of bread, two pieces of steamed bacon and a plate of leek sauce.
He took two sips of soup, warmed his stomach, and took another bite of the cake. Then break the bread in your hand into pieces and soak them in the soup. And he tore up the bacon, added half a dish of leek sauce, and sandwiched it between two loaves. Then I took a sip of soup and ate a bite of bread, and after a while, sweat broke out on my forehead.
After eating and drinking, pour the remaining half of the leek sauce on the last piece of cake, and sit against the wall with the food box and bite slowly.
It's not so cold anymore, and the thoughts come alive again. He began to think about that Sui endlessly.
He saved people, which should be a great achievement, but unfortunately he saved the surname Sui. The current King of Sui is the seventh grandson of the previous King of Sui, and he is more than two hundred years old. It is said to be a fourth-order spiritual light realm, and it should be able to live for another hundred years.
The king of Sui has only one brother, that is, the Duke of Chebei, Sui is not to blame. But Sui Wuyi is a fifth-order cave realm, and he can live to be five hundred years old, and now he is only two hundred years old.
After living in the military for a long time, I will always listen to more things at the top. I knew that King Sui was very jealous of this younger brother who was higher than him. Although Sui Wuyi repeatedly showed goodwill, he was still sent to Wuliang City to be the Duke of Chebei in a bitter cold place.
It is said that this is not the end, the king of Sui will be staring at the Duke of Chebei to death, and he wants to find some reason to expel him farther away...... Or banish him to the netherworld.
Sui Wuyi is therefore walking on thin ice and is extremely cautious and cautious. The military and government of the Sui State were divided into two parts, and the local princes only supervised the military and had no right to command. When he arrived in Wuliang City, Sui Wuji didn't even bother to take on the duties of overseer, and lost all his power to the capital commanders in the city.
But now that the city is broken and the capital Pei Jin is dead, the king of Sui will probably be very happy to blame Sui Wujiao. The only one who can save him is Sui Buxiu - although the city is broken, it is not lost. You can conceal some casualties and make it look like you are sticking to the enemy. Sui Buxiu has the head of the demon beast royal family in his hand, and if the merit is over, the life of this father and son should be worry-free.
But unfortunately, he knew that Sui Buxiu was actually captured. Until he saved him, he didn't know how much military intelligence he had spit out to the demon beast. The capture of the royal family was something that had never happened before in the Six Kingdoms of the Son of Heaven. This is a great shame...... According to today's temperament, it is logical to punish the prince.
Moreover, it is said that there are still people from the royal capital in the Dongfu army of Wuliang City. If he himself were Sui Wuyi, he would also want to hide Sui Buxiu's capture to the death, and he couldn't take the slightest risk.
Right now, in the magnificent castle on the mountain, Sui Wuyi should be discussing with Sui Buji and Baiying how to make the details better, so that people can't find fault. Maybe in a few days after the discussion, it will be my own death. Sui Buxiu seems to be a different prince and grandson, but he is only the sixteenth son of Sui Wuxi, and he has grown up in the royal capital since he was a child. Even if you say a few words for yourself, it's useless.
Besides, the one sent to him was not the clothes of the ten generals.
Now that he has eaten and regained his strength, it is time to think about how to save himself.
When the sunlight no longer penetrated through the cracks in the window panels, Li Bochen heard the sound of footsteps and unlocking outside the door. He sat on the kang and did not move, and soon saw Bai Ying carrying a white paper lantern to the inner room. He looked around the room, rested the lantern on the ground, and shook the snow off his wings.
"General Bai. Li Bochen nodded to him.
Baiying's face was much kinder, and he even showed a smile: "How is your body?"
"If you're well fed and drunk, there's no problem. ”
"Good. Bai Ying forked his hand and stood looking at him, "Che Beigong knew about you and praised you very much, so he asked." As a result, I found out that you used to be the commander of the former army?"
Li Bochen nodded: "It happened three years ago." ”
"Three years ago...... Oh, three years ago. Bai Ying paced two steps in the room and said casually, "It's because of the matter of Lingdutong." ”
"Hmm. ”
He only answered and said nothing. Bai Ying looked at him and smiled: "Don't worry. Che Beigong intends to promote you, so naturally he wants to send me to ask you clearly. I was offended a lot before - it was because my vision was small. But Chebei Gong ...... You know, now is the time to employ people, and Chebei Gong is reluctant to give you up as a talent. ”
Li Bochen was stunned: "General Bai, seriously?"
"Really. Baiying smiled and said, "That's why I was sent to hear about you." ”
Li Bochen hesitated for a moment and sighed: "It's indeed because of Ling Dutong." ”
"I joined the army six years ago, and Ling Dutong valued me very much. I have made some military achievements, and in three years, I have gone from a pawn to a ten, a hundred, and a commander. At the beginning of spring three years ago, Ling Dutong took a few of our generals and his own soldiers to hunt in Tushan, but as a result, Lian Ce, a hundred generals, led three tigers, and they all went to save him, but he cut his throat with a sword. ”
"Ah......" Baiying sighed.
Later, it was found out that Lian Ce had a grudge against Dutong because of the promotion issue, and was shown to the public. But one of our generals at that time was also deprived of his post and demoted to a soldier. Later, Pei Jindu came to take office, and only then did he mention me to be a top ten general. ”
Bai Ying nodded: "Duke Chebei doesn't ask about the military, but he also knows something about this matter at that time. Ling Dutong was a handsome talent, but he died at the hands of a villain, but it's a pity. You are also a general, but it is a pity that you were belittled by the villain. ”
Li Bochen smiled.
"Among those people back then, apart from Bai Jiang Lian Ce, did you suspect anyone else?"
Li Bochen frowned and thought for a while: "Others? Among the few people who traveled at that time, there were two commanders besides me. One is Sun Shou and the other is Peng Dingfang. At the level of a hundred generals, there are Lian Ce, Lu Gongru, Wei Buqun, and the rest are a few pro-soldiers, I forgot their names. ”
"Sun Shou, Peng Dingfang, and Lu Gongru all died in battle two years ago, Wei Buqun...... It was under my hands before. The other day, I watched him die in battle. As for those personal soldiers, General Bai should know that as soon as the main general died, they did not protect them effectively, and then they were executed. I used to have some doubts, but now that people are gone, there is no way to doubt them. ”
Bai Ying shook his head again and again: "It's a pity, it's a pity." Okay, since that's the case, I'll go back to Yuche Beigong. General Li waited with peace of mind, and within two days, there would be a commendation appointment. ”
Li Bochen got up from the kang and jumped on the ground. When he tried to speak, his throat choked. After calming down for a while, he clenched his fists: "It is difficult to repay the great kindness of the Duke of Chebei, dare not to die!"
Baiying lifted him up, reached out and patted him on the arm, nodded, and walked out the door.
Outside the door, a soldier brought another food box, and brought in a bucket and bedding. Then he also quit and closed the door. This time the door was unlocked, and the window panels were removed.
When the footsteps disappeared, Li Bochen pushed the door open a crack and looked into the courtyard. The sun was about to set, and the courtyard was reflected in the golden sunset, and there was no one.
He closed the door and went back to the house, opened the food box, and found that the food was much richer. In addition to soup, cakes, meat, and sauce, there is also a roast chicken and a pot of wine.
He took the flask and held it in his hand, knowing that Bai should be about to do it.
Faster than he thought.
