Chapter 182: Striving for Merit

He frowned and said, "It's the Linxi Army, not these bandits?"

As he spoke, he kicked Zhu Yi's body away and walked back to the doors of several rooms in the back room to check. When I checked this place before, I saw that there seemed to be some clothes in one of the rooms, and I found two rooms, and found that they were all silk and satin, stacked in one place, and there were really a few women's clothes among them.

This Zhu Yi is also strange, just collecting gold, silver and jewelry, and even taking clothes. Could it be that he followed Zhu Hou to run around when he was young and cultivated this poor sourness?

Lin Qiao said behind him: "It should be the Linxi Army, I've heard of it." I also heard that the quartermaster in that camp would go to Sanguan City to buy them, and there were people in the building who talked to them. ”

Li Bochen was even more curious in his heart, but said first: "There are clothes here, you can change your clothes." ”

Lin Qiao walked into the house and closed the door, and Li Bochen guarded the door with a knife, beware that Zhu Yi's guards would come back. Listening to the sound of clothes walking across the door, I couldn't help but ask again: "You all know that they are from the Linxi Army, how dare they go to the city?"

Lin Qiao smiled inside the door and said, "Brother Li just came here, did he think that the Linxi Army and the officers and soldiers in the cities in various places were incompatible? ”

"The officials in the city know where they are, and they will also garrison troops nearby, but I have heard that there are few conflicts in peacetime, and the water from the well is not the same as the water of the river. People say that more than ten years ago, they were all Li Guoren, and now as long as Shangfeng does not issue a death order, they are not willing to meet each other. ”

When she said this, she paused, and then said, "Brother Li, what are you looking for them......?"

"It's not. Li Bochen smiled and said, "This Zhu Yi Evil Sect, I found something on him and planned to give it to them." ”

After a while, Lin Qiao said, "Brother Li, can I ask you something?"

"You speak. ”

"Why did you have to kill him just now?"

Li Bochen was stunned and said, "You said Zhu Yi?"

"Hmm. ”

That's a strange question. Li Bochen thought about it for a while, and knew that what she was going to ask should be, "Zhu Yi has shown weakness just now, why don't you leave, instead of risking killing him." This kind of thing has to be explained, I'm afraid I have to say a lot, the two have only known each other for a few days, and Li Bochen is not sure whether he wants to talk to him. But just as he was about to say a few perfunctory words, he remembered the appearance of her sitting alone on the side of the road alone in the morning, and his heart moved, sighed lowly, and said: "Ye Lu is a member of the Kongming Society. Zhu Yi should have become like this because of some evil law of the Kong Ming Society, this kind of thing, I also encountered it when I was in the Sui Realm. ”

"I think this has something to do with the Demon Kingdom. I just bumped into it, and I can't just walk away...... Even if you can't track down anything, it's good to send it to the Linxi Army and ask them to investigate. ”

When he said this, he sighed again: "The demon army has hit the Sui State...... If we do not find out these things clearly within the six countries, we are afraid that we will be in trouble at home and abroad, and the situation will be very bad. ”

There was no sound inside the door for a while. After a while, Lin Qiaocai said, "Brother Li, but you shouldn't go to Linxi Army." What is your background...... They know about it, and if they really look into it, they will find out your background. ”

Li Bochen smiled: "This matter is more important. ”

Lin Qiao stopped talking, not knowing what he was thinking. After another moment, she pushed the door open and walked out. Li Bochen thought that she would wear women's clothes, but unexpectedly wore men's clothes. Men's clothing is a bit big for her, so she tied the cuffs and waist with some belts, and harvested the appearance of an arrow-sleeved strong suit, which looked very heroic and refreshing.

She walked out of the door and smiled lightly, and said, "Then let's go to Handshan." ”

After the vicious battle just now, Li Bochen still feels that his arm is a little sore, and his emotions have not completely calmed down. But with her appearance, she is no longer panicked. He also smiled and said, "Okay." ”

The two found a few horses left behind by the bandit leaders, picked a spotted gray horse for Lin Qiao, and headed north along the road.

When I walked on the road, I could already see Hanshan Mountain in the distance - the peak was abrupt, gentle on one side, and cliffs on the other. There is also a hill next to Hanshan, which is slightly shorter, and it looks similar. These two mountains are at a corner, and there is a canyon in the middle, called Shuangmen Gorge. From Sanguan City to the north, there is the way to go.

Li Bochen looked at the two mountains from a distance on the horse, and felt that they were somewhat similar to the ghost gate of the Beichen realm. When I think of this verse, I remember what I didn't have time to think about just now.

When I was thinking about whether to kill the bandits, I fell into a strange state. It's not settled, and now that I think about it, it shouldn't be considered a madness. But since then, he has made the Heavenly Thunder Law more powerful, and the Yin Soldiers have become more handy...... Is that state similar to "enlightenment"?

What should I realize as the "Emperor of Beichen"?

He wondered what had changed in that realm, he thought. Now I can go back there and jump out again, and it's only a moment. But time doesn't matter, it has an impact on mentality. He was still thinking about how Hanshan should contact the Linxi Army there, and he really couldn't spare the energy to explore that realm again. Just, wait for what is in front of you, and wait until you go to bed at night.

After half an hour of riding, the sun was rising, and there was some warmth in the air. Lin Qiao's horse immediately had some dry food, and the two of them ate with the water in the water bladder. After these efforts, Lin Qiao gained strength, his body was full of warmth, and he seemed to be happy, and sang two tunes for Li Bochen along the way. She has a good voice, and she sings well, even a cappella also compares the song of a hundred birds in the forest. Li Bochen listened to her singing, and his mind slowly calmed down. When the sun falls on my body, I only feel warm, and I can't wait for the road to Hanshan to be longer.

By noon, it was nearly two mountains down. Seeing a small town at the mountain pass from a distance, Li Bochen thought it was a military town for the local government garrison, but when he saw the smoke rising from the house, he realized that it should be a people's market.

Does this place seem so harmonious?

Then he lifted up his eyes and looked up the hills on both sidesβ€”the high side was called Hanshan, and the trees on it were verdant, and here you could faintly see some barracks and houses, and if they were all full of people, there would be fifty or sixty in number. That's not a small amount - put it on the northern plains, so that five or six tithes of weaving can be guarded for tens of miles.

Looking further up the hill on that side, I saw only a few houses, and if they were full of people, they would probably be nothing more. Li Bochen felt even more strange in his heart...... It is only twenty or thirty miles away from Sanguan, and the number of Linxi troops is even greater than that of the official army?

As he thought of this, he heard a commotion in front of him. From this way to the market town, you have to go around a small slope, so you can only hear the sound, but you can't see people. But he has a very strong ear, and can vaguely hear words like "yours" and "mine", which should not be about his own trouble.

But he still said to Lin Qiao: "Xiaoman, sit firmly on the horse." Look at my eyes. ”

Lin Qiao nodded, and Li Bochen slowed down his horse and slowly walked forward. Bypassing the gentle slope, I saw two groups of people arguing on the side of the road at the entrance of the market town. These people are not civilians, they are all wearing armor. But the swords and guns of the six or seven people in one of them were not very bright, and the clothes and armor were only half of the leather and cotton armor. The leader of the team was a yellow-faced ten generals, who had more leather helmets than other soldiers, but they were also worn crookedly, and there was no majesty.

There were also seven or eight people in the other group, but all of them were bright, their clothes and armor were bright, and their faces were a little arrogant. Sweep to the side of the road and know what they are arguing about.

There were two people on the side of the road. One was a corpse, and the other was slashed several times in the chest and was bleeding. Leaning against a rock, he sat with his head lowered and his lips slightly open and closed. Li Bochen's eyes were sharp, and he suddenly saw that the person was one of the bandit leaders who had escaped before.

Were these two people unlucky, seriously injured and fled here, ran into the official army, and were surrounded and suppressed?

If this is the case, the officers and soldiers here are really not to be underestimated - those bandit capitals are very capable, and even if they are wounded, they are not something that ordinary people can deal with.

Then the two groups of people should be fighting for merit. Li Bochen slowed down his horse a little more, tightened his grip, wrapped the armor on his body, and wanted to walk over slowly. At this time, I also heard what they said more clearly-

The yellow-faced ten generals were shouting at the top of their voices: "Why did you take it? The two of them jumped out of the woods and told me to stab me and get one result!"

One of the soldiers in the bright armor sneered: "With you, these two people don't have weapons, it's more than enough to kill you." Zhao Laosi, don't be ignorant, beware of tomorrow we will kill you!"

Li Bochen's heart jumped when he heard this word. Originally, I thought that the officials and soldiers here were fighting for the merits of the two bandit leaders, but looking at it this way, could it be that the downtrodden side was the Linxi Army......? He gave them this thing in his hand, and he was afraid that they would not be able to do anything.

It's just that...... Originally, one side was an "official army" and the other side was a "rebel army", but if it was really so harmonious, could it still be possible to "fight for merit"?

The two sides were arguing, and they didn't have much time to come to see Li Bochen. He was about to ride his horse past when he heard the sound of horses' hooves in the woods, and after a while, a black horse came out, and on top of it sat a knight with a halberd. This person has a helmet and armor, a white face and no beard, and he is also in his twenties.

But he rode out of the forest but did not rush to the entrance of the market town, but frowned and stared at Li Bochen and Lin Qiao for a few moments, and trotted over with a horse's belly. When the two of them were three or four steps apart, they stopped their horses, and said with a smile: "Friend, where is this going?"

Li Bochen thought to himself, this person should have seen the armor on his body and the knife on his horse, and he was suspicious. He didn't want to clash with the officials and soldiers at this time, so he hugged his fists and said, "People from the rivers and lakes, you want to go to Fengzhou." ”

The smile on the knight's face grew, tilted his head slightly, and said, "Do you know the two over there?"

Did he think he was also an accomplice of the two bandits?

Li Bochen was about to speak, when a soldier not far away shouted: "General, these people don't know how to lift, what should I do?"

The yellow-faced ten generals also looked at the knight, and they lost their momentum. But he also shouted: "Qin Le, don't deceive people too much!"

The knight looked away from Li Bochen, but still held the halberd in his hand, and the tip of the halberd moved slightly forward, faintly blocking his way. He sneered at the ten generals and said, "I will be ordered by the West Monarch to guard this place and pacify the people in the realm." These two bandit leaders were all taken down by me - Zhao Laosi, you rebellious soft bones, don't you spare your life at this time?"

Li Bochen was stunned for a moment - they are the Linxi Army?
