Chapter 43 The dilemma

"So fast?"

A cold light flashed in his triangular eyes. Xiao Hou clenched the wine cup with his hand and did not get up.

"It shouldn't be."

Simajin stopped An Bochen, who was about to inquire, and said.

The three of them knew that the person who came was either the left prime minister or the person in the palace. It is reasonable that there is no possibility to start at this time, but if the three of them mess up and reveal their flaws, it is equivalent to throwing themselves into the net. What's more, as early as a few days ago, "Li Gongzi" used the excuse of recuperation and declined the guest visit. At this time, he could only wait and see the change.

The sound of horses' hoofs was getting smaller, but the team stopped in front of Moyun Tower. After a while, the sound of knocking on the door came, and a servant opened the door to greet each other.

"Little Anzi, you go to pick up the guests... You go to inquire on behalf of the sick son.

Hearing this, An Bochen nodded. These days, although the big and small matters in the building are managed by Xiao Hou, it is An Bochen who comes forward, and it's his turn to go now.

"Don't panic. No matter who comes, the more calm he is, the more he can't figure out the details. Remember, smiley faces welcome people.

Xiao Hou told him.

Without more words, An Bochen got up and went downstairs. There were seven floors of Moyun Building. Usually, An Bochen could run downstairs in a minute, but he walked slowly at this time.

The heavy rain was still falling, the sky was gray, and An Bochen's face was calm, but he was very upset. He turned his head and looked out of the window. The sky was low and the clouds were thick, as if he was about to roll down in the blink of an eye, crushing the crowned pavilion in Liujing.

This is just the beginning...

With a sigh, An Bochen had walked to the bottom of the building and looked up. Hundreds of horses stopped neatly outside the building. Immediately, the knight was wearing exquisite armor, his helmet was only eye-catching, and he was holding a halberd. It was the Yulin army that defended the palace.

"Brother An..."

The servant who opened the door looked nervously at An Bochen. He was about to say something when he was stopped by An Bochen.

"I'll deal with it."

Raising his feet and stepping forward, An Bochen walked over calmly. As soon as he stepped out of the Moyun Tower, a faint smile floated on his cheeks and bowed to the leading general.

"The prince is sick and hasn't woken up yet. He has neglected the general. I hope he can forgive me."

"Exemption from courtesy."

The general's face was slightly white, his eyes were covered with blood, and his face was tired.

It's no wonder that they were washed deep in the palace last night by the Duke of Huo. It was lucky that they could survive.

An Bochen said in his heart, just as he wanted to say something, he heard the general suddenly ask.

"Who are you?"

"The small one is An Bochen, who is close to the prince."

An Bochen replied neither humble nor arrogant. As soon as he finished speaking, he felt that countless eyes were shooting at him one after another. They were all soldiers who had just gone through a fight. There was still a murderous spirit in his eyes, which made An Bochen very uncomfortable.

Shit, did you know my secret?

An Bochen was forced to be calm, with a smile on his face, but his heart beat faster and faster, and he was uneasy.

Just as he was so nervous that he was about to breathe, he heard the general in front of him suddenly smile, and his voice was slightly strange.

"So, you are An Bochen?"

Hearing this, An Bochen's heart suddenly raised his throat, his eyes widened, and looked at the general nervously.

"I really can't see that you shot down Mr. Li's two maces with one shot."

The following sentence came out. An Bochen was a little relieved and said in his heart that what happened last night spread early this morning. The mouths of the sons of the family really couldn't be idle for a moment.

However, the next sentence made An Bochen's heart hang.

"You and the son of the Li family made an appointment to decide on a male and female matter. You already know that you have ordered someone to come and preach the decree. Five days later, he will perform martial arts at the Liujing teaching ground. At that time, the emperor will personally lead a group of ministers from the court to watch the battle, and the winner will also be rewarded.

After saying that, the general took out a scroll from his arms and handed it to An Bochen, patted him on the shoulder with a smile, and then turned around and left.

......

"A male and female... Xiao Anzi, it will be up to you whether you are a female or a male in five days.

On the seventh floor of Moyun Tower, Simajin made fun of An Bochen. The afterglow fell to Xiao Hou, who looked at Wang Zhi. He stroked his beard and frowned. It didn't unfold until the end of the roll. He shook his head with a wry smile.

"This left phase is a good means."

Sima Jin seemed to think, but An Bochen looked confused. Just as he was about to ask, Xiao Hou narrowed his eyes and looked at him.

"Bochen, I'm here to test you. Why did you personally order someone to preach the decree?"

An Bochen shook his head.

"The Duke of Huo's actions last night will definitely spread to Liujing and even the whole country of Liu. Duke Huo is the elder of the three dynasties and one of the few famous generals today. The rebellion will not achieve the righteous law. Once this news comes out, the blow to the hearts and morale of the people of Liu will not be recovered for at least three or four years."

Hearing this, An Bochen thought for a moment and hesitated.

"Is it that you want to use the battle between me and Mr. Li to turn everyone's attention to us?"

"This is just one of them."

Simajin said in.

"No matter how happy you play, it's not as shocking as the death of Duke Huo. The reason why this Liu Jun quickly issued an order is that he wants to attract the attention of Liu people first and turn his eyes to Mo Yunlou. On the one hand, he dares not act rashly, and on the other hand, he takes the opportunity to build momentum for the battle five days later.

Looking at Xiao Hou, Simajin hesitated.

"From the perspective of this fast horse's decree, Liu Jun seems to be interested in creating a famous general of Liu after the death of the Duke of Huo. With the lesson from the former car of the Duke of Huo, I think he will definitely choose from the world. The prince of the Li family comes from a famous family and is quite famous among the princes in the capital. He has good Taoist skills. It seems that Liujun wants to praise him.

Xiao Hou nodded, but said with a wry smile.

"What Miss Hong Fu said is very true. If Liu Jun wants to praise the Mr. Li, he will first exaggerate Bochen. It is estimated that when the rain stops, Bo Chen's name will spread in the capital. According to the current situation, we need to stay away from the limelight, cater to the king's will, and be reasonable. We have to lose this battle beautifully. But..."

Shaking his head, Xiao Hou threw Wang Zhi in front of Simajin. Simajin looked through it. At first, his face was calm, but at the end, his body trembled gently.

"The winner can ask you for a reward..."

From the perspective of An Bochen, you can clearly see the surprise flashing in Simajin's eyes.

An Bochen was a little puzzled and reacted instantly. If you win and ask for a reward from you, won't you be able to get Jiuchenjun back? If you get Jiuchenjun, you can get the secrets of immortals, which is also the ultimate purpose of Sima Jin's trip to Liujing.

I don't know why, Simajin's flash of surprise came to his mind. An Bochen's heart was slightly gloomy. He only felt that the rainy day was much more stuffy, so he listened to Simajin continue to read.

"With the Liujing Great Teaching Ground as the battlefield, the two sides need to win the lottery. If Li Lin is defeated, the Li family will donate thousands of taels of money and be responsible for repairing the palace. If An Bochen is defeated, Prince Li is responsible for repairing the palace and returning the two promises owed by the king that year..."

With Wang Zhi closed, Simajin looked out of the window with her eyes flashing.

"The bronze horse carries gold and silver, and sings farewell to the emperor... I thought that the three promises had been used up, but only one was used, but the remaining two are equivalent to amulets. As long as they are not used for a day, Moyun Tower is still the detached existence in Liujing.

"Exactly, but once this amulet is taken back by Liu Jun, Li Gongzi and Mo Yunlou will be beaten into the mortal world, and perhaps the left prime minister is ready to tear his face and face the layout of Mr. Fu Liu."

Xiao Hou said with a sad face.

Even if An Bochen doesn't understand conspiracy and tricks, he knows most of it in his heart when he hears what they said.

The situation at present can be said to be a dilemma. The key lies in the battle five days later. If he wins, he will be surprised. Even if he doesn't say anything at this time, he will make things difficult in the future. But if it is defeated, if Mr. Li is not Mr. Li, and Moyun Tower is not Mr. Moyun, it may lead to the disaster of extermination at any time, and the three of them are also in danger.

The left and right dilemmas, and the advance and retreat are also in danger. Your mind is unpredictable, and there is a more unpredictable left prime minister. As soon as the Duke of Huo died, An Bochen has been in the forefront of the storm, but he has never thought of it.

"What if it is undefeated?"

Hesitating, An Bochen asked.

Xiao Hou's eyes lit up and darkened in an instant.

"As Miss Hongfu said, what you want is Mr. Li's victory and fame. The draw seems to work, but in fact it is not..."

"Not necessarily."

Simajin's eyes flashed and he interrupted.

"If Liu Jun just wants Li Lin to shine, why did he put forward that lottery head?"

"Miss Hong Fu means... Jun Shang is also in a dilemma at this time. Should he attack Mo Yunlou?

Muttering, Xiao Hou played with the wine cup, and his eyes flashed.

"If this is the case, it is not difficult to explain all this. In the end, the lottery head must be added by the left prime minister, in order to deal with Mr. Li. Although the king has the intention to promote Li Lin, he may not bear to see Mr. Li, who had drunk and happy with him in those years, fall. Zuo Xiang gave him a difficult problem, and he threw this problem to us again. They all said that the emperor couldn't figure it out, but some thoughts didn't need to guess at all.

From time to time, he looked at An Bochen, and Xiao Hou said meaningfully.

Sima Jin, who was beside him, could see clearly and knew that Xiao Hou wanted to pass on his wisdom to An Bochen in his words, which was imperceptible, but he could not prevent it. He only needs to stay with Xiao Hou for three or two months. With An Bochen's understanding, his wisdom will advance rapidly, and at the same time, his heart will gradually become unpredictable.

If Xiao Anzi can make progress, it will be a good thing for the current situation, but Sima Jin always feels a little uncomfortable.

Maybe I can't bear to see the originally simple teenager fall into this whirlpool step by step, stained with mud, just like her.

However, then again, if he hadn't forced him to stay in the capital for the sake of immortal secrets, he would have returned to that quiet village. How could he have experienced so many things? I don't know whether it's a blessing or a curse.

Looking at the simple teenager who was thinking about his mind, a trace of inexplicableness floated in Sima Jin's eyes.

It would be great if he could always be like this and simple.

The girl turned her head, crossed the heavy rain, looked at the end of the ink cloud from afar, her eyes flashed, and she whispered for a long time.

"Women are kind and have their own deeds. They are especially childish and crazy. I walk in the wild, and I control Dabang. Who is in a hurry..."
