258. Chapter 258 Behind the Scenes



"Haha, our 'great hero' is back. I wonder if he has wiped out the bandits? What if..." In order to embarrass Han Yu even more, Li Boyan shouted loudly from a distance. However, before he finished speaking, he felt something was wrong when he saw the scene in front of him. The group of people that Han Yu and the soldiers brought back looked like bandits.

The subordinate of Li Boyan wanted to die after following behind Li Boyan. It was not that he did not tell Lord Li that he really wanted to die, but he simply had no chance! Lord Li walked fast, and he reacted from behind and almost trotted after him, but this could not be used as an excuse for him to escape the crime. Having been with Lord Li for a long time, he knew Lord Li's temper too well. In this case, Lord Li would definitely not get any advantage from Lord Han, and he might even be so angry with Lord Han that he would definitely vent his anger on these poor subordinates.

"Sir, Lord Han has wiped out the bandits and has returned to the military camp to report." Li Bo whispered in Li Boyan's ear so that he would not be confused about the situation.

"Why didn't you tell me earlier? What is your mouth for? Are you trying to make fun of me on purpose?!" Li Boyan was so annoyed and felt like he was being made fun of. He wanted to get angry, but he couldn't let Han Yu make fun of him in front of so many people. He had to lower his voice deliberately, otherwise he would have kicked Li Bo and scolded him.

"I dare not." Li Bo said cautiously, fearing that this person would bear grudges and settle accounts later. In his heart, he criticized Li Boyan: He is so impatient, without any scheming and ability, and still wants to fight with Lord Han. Isn't this courting death? If it weren't for Lord Li above, how could this stupid and arrogant person have survived until now?

Han Yu saw what Li Boyan and his followers were like, and roughly understood what they were saying. He showed a half-smile on his face: "What do you want to say, Lord Li? Are you coming to celebrate my triumphant return? That's really polite. It's also thanks to Lord Li that I have made a contribution this time. If there is any commendation, I have to thank Lord Li for recommending me. Otherwise, I wouldn't have such a good opportunity to make a contribution."

Han Yu said with a fake smile, deliberately bringing up Li Boyan's sore spot, and seeing Li Boyan's face was a little distorted, he still felt somewhat happy in his heart. Although he disdained to bother with such a fool, it was very annoying that the fool always jumped around in front of him. Besides, all of his subordinates were displeased with Li Boyan's smug look, so he had to satisfy his subordinates' wishes.

"Mr. Han, you are too polite. This bandit suppression is one thing, but whether you have achieved any merit or not is still unclear. Who knows if one or two bandit leaders have escaped and then gathered another wave of bandits. Wouldn't our efforts in this bandit suppression be in vain? At that time, it would not be a merit but a sin." Li Boyan took a quick glance and saw that there were few bandit leaders among these people. He thought that the bandit leader broke through the encirclement of the officers and soldiers and escaped. He thought that he would make a fuss about this. With that person around, it would be very difficult to deal with Han Yu.

"Don't worry, Lord Li. I caught the bandits red-handed this time, and none of them escaped." Han Yu's words made it impossible to find fault with him, and he also found loopholes in his words, leaving some space and room for maneuver.

"Lord Han, please don't talk big. It's not up to you to decide whether the bandits run away or not. I think there are many people missing here!" Li Boyan thought he had caught Han Yu's handle. Not to mention others, even the biggest bandit leader was not among them. How could he say that the bandits were wiped out?

"There are many people missing? Why would Lord Li say that? Does Lord Li know how many bandits there were originally? That would be strange." Han Yu's words were meaningful.

"How would I know! I just think that these bandits dare to be so rampant, there must be more than just these people, otherwise how could they cause such trouble." Li Boyan became anxious when he heard what Han Yu said, and hurriedly made an explanation, and after his explanation he also threatened Han Yu.

"Master Han, you can eat whatever you want, but you can't say anything you want, otherwise you will cause trouble!"

"Really? I'm not talking nonsense. I got some interesting news from several important bandit leaders. Everyone is puzzled as to how such small bandits dare to be so rampant. It turns out..." When Han Yu said this, he saw that Li Boyan's face clearly showed some worry and fear. He was eager to know the news, but he deliberately paused and did not continue.

"So what? Lord Han, why don't you explain it more clearly? It sounds to me like something is not right." Li Boyan was afraid that Han Yu would know the relationship between them and the bandits. Once it was exposed and found out by the higher-ups, it would be bad if they traced it back to him. After all, although this matter was manipulated by someone behind the scenes, it was he who came forward to negotiate with the bandits. When the higher-ups investigated, the person behind the scenes would push the responsibility onto him and make him the scapegoat. Wouldn't he be wronged?

Li Boyan became very anxious and flustered when he thought of this. Han Yu had only said half of his words and did not say the rest. He did not know if he was trying to make things difficult for him.

"You know, Lord Li, I am not in a position to reveal the details. After all, this involves the case, including the bandits, which I will hand over to you. If Lord Li really wants to know, you can go and ask me." Han Yu deliberately wanted to keep Li Boyan hanging, making him live in worry and torment.

"In that case, there is nothing more to say. Lord Han, just take care of yourself, hum!" Li Boyan didn't get any information from Han Yu. He snorted coldly and turned away, thinking that he had to find out information elsewhere to confirm whether what Han Yu said was true.

"Wait, Master Li, please stay."

Everyone was watching the fight between Han Yu and Li Boyan with great interest. When they saw Li Boyan leave like that, they felt a little regretful that they didn't get to see enough, so they hurriedly called him to stop.

Li Boyan stopped impatiently: "What's the matter?!"

"It's like this. We have something we want to ask Lord Li. I hope Lord Li will give us some advice!" Liu Cong also started speaking in flowery terms at this time. He was quite unable to adapt, but when he thought about being able to deal with Li Boyan, he didn't care about this little bit of discomfort.

Liu Cong asked his brothers to carry a box over and put it in front of Li Boyan, with a strange smile on his face. It was a pity that Li Boyan was too conceited and looked down on a reckless man like Liu Cong, and he didn't even notice that when Liu Cong asked someone to carry a box over, he thought it was the spoils they seized from the bandits. Could it be that he wanted to show off to him?

There is no wrong version in the 1619 book forum!

What a bunch of idiots! They don't know how to keep the good stuff for themselves, and they will be confiscated if they take it out so carelessly, or these people don't know the value of the things in the box at all, Li Boyan thought, looking at Han Yu and Liu Cong and his group with more and more contempt, but he was not in a hurry to leave.
