Chapter 236
The voice sounded familiar and unfamiliar. Li Bochen reacted for a while before realizing that it should be the commander named Fang Junfeng.
Listening to Fang Qi sneered again: "Die on the battlefield? You are a native of the Sui Kingdom, and you want to run to the Li Kingdom to die on the battlefield? This is considered a hero? There is a kind of you going to fight the Demon Country." β
Fang Junfeng seemed to be speechless in the room for a while, but after a while, he still said: "Listening to your accent, you are also from the Sui Kingdom, right? Why did you betray the lord and abandon the country to do things for this surnamed Li? It's not for the sake of glory and wealth, but also to ask me?"
Fang Yan said angrily: "You!"
Then he heard a loud noise, as if he was about to draw his sword. Li Bochen sat up suddenly, but before he got out of bed, he heard a bang again, and it was Fang Qi who sent the knife back. only said: "If the general didn't want to keep you, I would share life and death with you now!"
Li Bochen breathed a sigh of relief. I don't know if Fang Yi listened to his previous words, but now his heart is really slightly restrained. He got up to look for clothes, but the short brown left by Xiaoman was cut by Wei Zongshan last night, and the left sleeve was torn, so he put it at the head of the bed and changed it again.
When he went out, Fang Yu saw him, his expression was still angry, and he said, "General, this person doesn't know how to lift." I used to talk to him in a good voice, and he scolded you!"
Li Bochen smiled: "Brother Fang has been wronged. But I don't blame him - I wanted my commander to do a good job, but he was knocked unconscious and tied up, and he had to curse. Brother Fang, open the door. β
Fang Yan took a deep breath, walked to the door and unlocked it, and couldn't help but say, "General, you can be careful that this person will take revenge to assassinate you." β
Fang Junfeng said inside the door: "I don't care about this!"
When the door opened, he saw Fang Junfeng sitting on the edge of the kang with his hands clasped on the belt around his waist, and Xie Yusheng was also sitting beside him. Both of them had straight faces and glared at Li Bochen angrily.
Li Bochen smiled and said, "General Fang, Brother Xie, you have offended a lot. β
Fang Junfeng snorted heavily.
Li Bochen smelled a little urine in the room, so he walked to the commode and took a look, and saw that the two of them were peeing. He casually lifted the commode and walked out, and said, "Brother Fang, get the two of them something to eat." I look much better. β
When he walked to the door, Fang Yu saw the thing in his hand, was startled, hurriedly grabbed it, and said, "General, how can you take this!?"
Li Bochen didn't fight, only handed it to him, and said, "It's nothing." β
With this he said, he walked past the door and glanced at the two men in the room. Looking at the posture of the two of them just now, they should be waiting for themselves to stand up and reprimand angrily once they speak. But now that I have a punch, I should feel very uncomfortable.
He did not speak to them any more, but went to the well and washed himself with a basin of water, and then went to the stove and took a bowl of the overnight meal, which was boiled from the well, and sat down on the steps before the door of the hall to eat. After a few strokes, Fang Yi walked back from the west ear room with the empty commode and sent it to their house.
At this time, the door of the house was still open, and the two of them stared at Li Bochen without blinking, their expressions changed from the initial indignation to a little puzzled, perhaps they had never seen such a "King Li's surname".
Fang Yan was very interested, so he didn't say anything at this time, but also filled two large bowls of rice from the stove, stuffed each bowl with pickles, and fetched a clay pot of well water, and put it at the door for them.
When he walked to the door and stood with a knife, Li Bochen said, "Two of you, let's eat something." If you want to fight me, you have to have strength. β
Fang Junfeng looked at the two bowls and a crockpot in front of the door, and his throat moved, but he only said, "Hmph." It's really hard for you, Li Junhou, to accompany us to eat these things. But who are you going to show you this style?"
Fang Yan wanted to scold again when he heard this. But after glancing at Li Bochen, he only sneered and said, "Do you think it's for you? Do you know what my general did in the past?"
"You Sui Zhenjun came here to make a fortune, my general used to be the commander of Wuliang City, and he was serious about killing demon beasts. Have you ever heard of Sui Buxiu, the son of Chebei Gong, who was captured by a demon beast? Do you know who rescued him? It was my general!"
"If you want to say that he suffers, I am afraid that you will suffer even more. Later, it was in Zhangcheng that he saw Yin Sui killing innocent civilians with honesty and helping him, so he had to go into exile in Li State. You're not a hero, so are you?"
Both of them were stunned when they heard this. Fang Junfeng didn't speak, Xie Yusheng glared and said, "Really?"
Fang Yi sneered: "Believe it or not!"
Fang Junfeng thought for a while and frowned: "You are King Li's surname, but you were the commander of our army in the past?"
At this time, Li Bochen picked up half a bowl of rice, stopped and breathed a sigh of relief, and said, "General Fang wants to hear it?" β
Fang Junfeng pursed his lips, as if he wanted to say "I don't want to hear it", but he didn't say it in the end.
Li Bochen took the bowl and said: "I didn't know that my Li was this Li before, when the Li Kingdom died, my mother took me to the Sui Kingdom, and I thought I was a Sui person." When I grew up, I knew that the north and the demon kingdom were fighting, so I joined the army like the two of them, and wanted to serve the country. β
"After six years in the Boundless City of the Northern Plains, the demon beasts killed more than a hundred and became a commander. At that time, there were also many former Li people in the Infinite Army, but since they were dealing with demon beasts, what was the difference between the Li people and the Sui people? Year after year, the dead are buried together, and it is no longer possible to distinguish them. β
He paused at this point, and saw that the expressions of the two of them seemed to be a little calmer, so he said again: "After I came to Li Guo, I knew my life experience, and suddenly there was something I couldn't figure out. β
"- How did Kitahara lose it?"
"It was lost when the Five Kingdoms were attacking Li. But I won't say who's right and who's wrong. General Fang, you just said that Fang Yu did things for me because he wanted to be prosperous and rich, but this was a misunderstanding of him. I didn't come here to be a prince to fight for power. I robbed the two of them and the armored car, and I didn't plan for myself - have you ever thought about it, now that the Demon Kingdom occupies half of the Sui Kingdom, if you come to Li Jing one day, it will be like this plate of scattered sand, wouldn't it be given to them here for nothing?"
"So I grabbed this car because I wanted to have some capital in my hand to fight with the monster once one day. But as far as I'm concerned, the army of the demon kingdom is coming, and I'm afraid it's like a splash, and it's gone. Brother Fang really wants to be prosperous and rich, why don't you run to the south, but go to the demon army?"
He took a few more bites of rice, raised his eyes, and saw Fang Junfeng get up and walk to the door, and took the rice bowl and crockpot. He gave a bowl to Xie Yusheng and said in a low voice, "Eat first." β
Xie Yusheng should have been extremely thirsty, so he hurriedly picked up the crockpot and drank it for a while before serving a bowl to eat. Fang Junfeng didn't drink water, only held the bowl and thought about it, and said, "General Li, I can't find anything wrong for a while when I listen to your words." But no matter what, Fang has eaten military rations for more than ten years, and it is absolutely impossible for you to ask me to turn to you today. β
Li Bochen smiled: "When did I say that you voted for me?"
Fang Junfeng was stunned: "Huh?"
Li Bochen said: "If you want to stay, I naturally can't ask for it." But if you don't want to, I didn't say it's hard to be strong. All I'm asking for is what you're heading forβGeneral Fang is the commander, and Brother Xie is a mechanic, so you should be familiar with the structure and operation of this armored car. I happen to have one of them here who wants to know about this, and I just want to ask them to teach him. β
Fang Junfeng frowned and thought for a moment, then said, "General Li, I'm afraid it's impossible. The tricks in the armored car are secret, not to mention that Brother Xie and I can't all know about it, even if we know, once we say it, it is a capital crime of leaking military aircraft. β
Li Bochen put down the bowl and said with a low sigh: "Don't you two understand? I want this car to deal with demon beasts, not people." General Fang, you said that you eat military rations, so why do you eat military rations? Do you eat them to be full, or do you want to be rich and prosperous? I listen to you, and you are also a person who has read books, don't you know the subtleties and the general righteousness? General Fang, defend the land and defend the country -- in terms of defending the land, you did not originally defend the land of the Sui State. If you want to defend the country, where is the defense? Xuansu, who should belong to my Li country, or the human kingdom under the iron hooves of the demon country?"
Fang Junfeng didn't speak for a while. Xie Yusheng ate a few bites of food, but couldn't help frowning and said, "Commander, I think what he said is also a little reasonable." β
Li Bochen wiped all the rice in the bowl, stood up and said, "You two can think about it more." In fact, if you really don't want to speak, I'll send you away in three days. It's just that you'd better take advantage of this opportunity to escape after you're gone. If you want to go back to the Xuansu Army, I'm afraid that as soon as the demon beast comes, you and I will die here. β
He walked back to the stove with the bowl, heard Fang Yu lock the door again, and also walked to the door of the stove and whispered: "General, these two people are so ignorant, do you really want to let them go?"
Li Bochen said: "Otherwise, will you still eat?"
Fang Yan shook his head.
Li Bochen said: "Then I'll eat it all." β
Fang Yan hurriedly said, "I didn't mean this-"
Li Bochen laughed: "It's not good, we still have to catch a lot of people in the future." If you are not happy to follow us, do you want to kill them all? β
Fang Yan frowned and opened his mouth, but only said, "Alas!"
After he finished eating, Fang Yu called four more soldiers to guard. Li Bochen explained to him and went to his usual house. As he walked on the slope, he saw that many peasants had risen and walked into the fields. Perhaps because of last night's "big victory", people are no longer as scared as before.
He went into the house and saw the men who had been in charge before. Now I saw him from afar, and immediately greeted him, and shouted kindly. Li Bochen greeted them and went to find Chang Qiuwu. He came today to find some carpenters, and when he saw Chang Qiuwu, he seemed a little worried. Li Bochen said a few words to him, and he also listened absent-mindedly. Li Bochen said: "Fengzhi, what's the matter?
At this time, the two of them walked in the verandah, and Chang Qiuwu stood down and said in a low voice: "Junhou, thank you for covering up for me last night." But there are some things I have to say whether you believe it or not. β
Li Bochen smiled: "What words?"
Chang Qiuwu said: "In the first few days, we did know that Wei Zongshan had arrived in the camp. I didn't tell you becauseβdon't be angry, princeβI wanted you to learn a lesson. β
When he said this, he raised his eyes to look at Li Bochen first.
Li Bochen's expression did not change, and he said, "Fengzhi, you say." β
Chang Qiuwu sighed lowly: "Before, the old ancestor and I felt that you were still young. In the past, they all stayed in the immeasurable army, and they naturally had courage and force, and their hearts were naturally firm. I'm afraid of that. If you're cowardly, you'll probably be able to listen to anything. But if you have your own opinions, and if you are a newborn calf who is not afraid of tigers, it is easy to say ordinary things, but when it comes to some major things, if you are not careful, you will be in trouble. β
"Prince, these things wereβ"
Li Bochen interrupted him and said, "Then what do you think of last night?"
Chang Qiuwu thought for a while and said, "To be honest, the prince impressed me last night. But let's be honest - I don't know if you've ever had the luck to think things through so well every time in the future. β
Li Bochen said: "Oh, Fengzhi, I think so too. β
Chang Qiuwu was stunned, as if he suspected that he had misheard.
Li Bochen said again: "Grandpa and you are rightly worried. I was young, I was impulsive. But do you think I look like a stubborn person? In fact, if you have any ideas, you can tell me, and you don't need to be like last night. β
"But I can understand that my grandfather is also good for me - then don't mention it again. You told me about Wei Zongshan last night, and you want to block his attack for me, I have this kind of affection in my heart. Now that we both know, let's stop telling Grandpa what you said to me β let's go. β
Chang Qiuwu sighed, thought about it and thought about it, and then said, "Junhou, I'...... Alas. We've done a fool's errand. β
Li Bochen only smiled and patted his arm again.
The two walked a few steps, Li Bochen glanced at Chang Qiuwu, and saw that the expression on his face was already very relaxed.
He sighed in his heart. Is Chang Xiu worried that he has no brains to do things? Actually, he should be worried about Chang Qiuwu. Perhaps he has been pampered since he was a child, but now he is in his forties, but he seems to be more simple and kind than himself.
In fact, only half of what he just said was true.
He can understand Chang Xiu's worries about himself, but he doesn't believe that he will really discuss everything with him in the future and no longer try to "control". The person who is always scheming and has the city government in his mind is the kind of person who is the easiest to believe in himself and the least likely to trust others.
He couldn't help but feel a little sad. A few days ago, when I first entered the house and first met, I felt that I had finally experienced the family affection that was not easy to get. At that time, it was true that Chang Xiu showed eagerness when he saw that he was injured.
If there was no such thing as a "prince", maybe he would have been a good grandfather. But mixed with other things, in the end, as I was worried about before, this kind of family affection has gradually changed its taste. If one of them can take a step back, they can open the sky. But Li Bochen knew that he couldn't do it here, so what about Chang Xiu?
