This sudden change caused the soldiers who were excited just now to suddenly become silent.
Suddenly I heard someone shouting: "Come here, capture these two people."
This person is none other than Li Qi.
This is Ma Shuai's close guard.
Liang Xiong was shocked and hurriedly whispered: "Deputy Commander, please don't act out of anger."
Li Qi frowned and said, "Do you want to disobey me?" Then he shouted to the soldiers: "Get it for me quickly."
There is no way, he is the one with the highest official position here.
"yes."
Several soldiers stepped forward to capture the two men.
Immediately someone said again: "Be brave, I am Ma Shuai's bodyguard, who dares to touch me."
"it's me."
Li Qi took a step forward and snorted coldly: "I am standing and you are sitting, and you are sitting higher than me. It is obvious that you don't take me seriously. If I don't take advantage of you, who will you take?"
The two men looked at each other and saw that the soldiers had already walked over. They quickly dismounted and saluted Li Qi: "I didn't see the deputy commander here just now. I hope the deputy commander will forgive me."
"I think your eyes are on the top of your head."
Li Qi snorted angrily, winked at the soldiers, and asked them to retreat. In fact, he just wanted to scare these two people. After all, they were Hu You's guards. If they were taken down like this, then
It really made Hu You unable to step down. He said: "I will spare you this time. If there is another time, huh, it will be dealt with by military law."
"Thank you, Deputy Commander, for sparing your life."
The two of them hurriedly saluted.
When the others saw it, they admired Li Qi even more. With just a few words, they scared Ma Shuai's guards to the point where they knelt down and begged for mercy.
Li Qi hummed and said, "Get up." When the two of them got up, he asked again: "Why did Marshal Ma want to capture Niu Gao? What mistake did he make?"
"I don't know what I am doing, I am just here under orders."
Li Qi frowned, glanced at Niu Gao, and saw that his face was calm and unafraid. He pondered for a moment and said, "You guys go outside and wait for a moment. I have something to give you here. After I finish giving my instructions, you guys can
Take Niugao to see Ma Shuai."
"This." The two guards looked embarrassed.
Li Qi raised his eyebrows, "Huh?"
"Yes. Resigning from my humble position."
The two of them did not dare to offend Li Qi again. They bowed again and were about to mount their horses, but in the end they chose to lead the horses out.
After the two men left, Li Qi called Niu Gao aside and asked, "Master Niu, what on earth have you committed? Why did Marshal Ma personally send someone to arrest you?"
Niu Gao lowered his head and said, "I don't know. He can take it whenever he wants. I'm not afraid of him."
Li Qi smiled slightly and said: "You are not afraid of him. But he is not afraid of you. He is your boss. If he wants to punish you, whether you are afraid or not, the result will be the same. Do you think it is useful to say this? I am
I’m here to help you. If you have any grievances, you can tell me and maybe I can help you.”
Niu Gao tilted his head and said, "I appreciate the deputy commander's kindness, but I really don't know what mistake I made. If I was absent from training, the deputy commander would have slapped me just now."
This guy is on guard against me. He is really ignorant. That's all. That's all. You are the master, okay.
Li Qi sighed, knowing that he was afraid that he and the official Hu You would be protecting each other, and said: "Okay, it's okay if you don't tell me. I'll go with you."
Niu Gao immediately said: "Then I have no objection."
"You are too smart," Li Qi said angrily.
Niu Gao chuckled and said, "I am a real person."
"you win."
Li Qi smiled helplessly, walked to Liang Xiong and said: "Commander Liang, I will accompany Coach Niu to go to the guard horse first. Later, you will instruct the brothers not to go home at night and to stay in the camp.
I still have something to tell you when I get there."
"I humble my duty and obey my orders."
Li Qi glanced at Niu Gao angrily and said, "Let's go."
Hu You's guards looked a little embarrassed when they saw that Li Qi wanted to follow him, but they did not dare to stop Li Qi from going.
Several people came to the guard Ma Si. At this time, Hu You and Fan Xin were sitting on chairs chatting.
"Sir, Niu Gao brings it."
"Let him in."
"yes."
With a creak, the door opened from the outside, and Niu Gao strode in. He saluted and said, "I am humble enough to join Ma Shuai and Yuhou."
As soon as Hu You saw Niu Gao, his face was full of anger. Suddenly he saw Li Qi was there too. He frowned and said: "Deputy Commander, didn't you say you would go to Longwei this morning to have a look? Why are you back so early?"
?”
Li Qi first raised his hand to Hu You and said with a smile: "Xiaguan was originally at the Long Guard side. He happened to see Ma Shuai's guards coming to fetch someone. He was curious, so he came over to take a look and see what happened.
Is that what happened?”
It can't be such a coincidence. Hu You muttered to himself and said: "Deputy Commander, this matter has nothing to do with you. I think you are quite tired. Why don't you go down and have a rest."
"Not tired, not tired."
Li Qi chuckled and said, "I also want to see what kind of murder and arson this stubborn cow did to make Marshal Ma so angry. I'm curious. It's just curiosity."
Seeing that Li Qi was refusing to leave, Hu You couldn't drive him out. He thought to himself, even if he was informed, what could he do? I would still be his boss anyway. So he ignored him and said to Niu Gao: "Niu Gao."
Coach, you are so brave, you dare to hide a good woman secretly, and everyone has complained to me, the commander. Do you still take me as the commander in mind?"
Hiding a good woman secretly?
Li Qi frowned and thought to himself, Niu Gao wouldn't do such a thing. He was full of confusion for a while.
Niu Gao clasped his fists and said, "I don't understand what Marshal Ma means?"
"Do you really not understand, or do you pretend to understand?"
Hu You snorted and said: "I advise you to hand over the person as soon as possible, otherwise you will not blame me for being unkind."
Niu Gao opened his mouth and said aggrievedly: "Ma Shuai, you keep asking me to hand over people, but you have to tell me who you want me to hand over, and I will go and catch them for you right now."
Li Qi nodded and said: "Yes, Ma Shuai, who do you want him to hand over?"
Hu You glared at Li Qi slightly and said, "Deputy Commander, you just said you wouldn't interfere."
"Are you curious to ask? Marshal Ma, please don't get angry. I won't ask." Li Qi spread his hands and said with a smile.
Hu You snorted and said to Niu Gao: "Okay, I will tell you clearly. Didn't Lao Zhang's family outside Nancheng ask you to hide?"
When Niu Gao heard this, he shouted: "You are wronged! Ma Shuai, what are you doing, Lao Zhang's family? I don't know anything."
The corner of Li Qi's mouth twitched a few times and he suppressed a smile. This guy's reaction was really fast. It was interesting.
Hu You slapped the table, stood up and shouted angrily: "You Niu Gao, you still refuse to admit it until now, okay, I can't cure you, right? Come here, take Niu Gao down for me.
It’s a serious crime, I’ll be imprisoned and put on trial.”
Niu Gao rolled his eyes and shouted towards Li Qi and Fan Xin: "Deputy Commander, Marquis Yu, you have to make the decision for me. I am really unjust."
Fan Xin has always been very tactful and rarely offends anyone. He said slowly: "As long as you hand over the person, I will keep you safe."
Saying this is the same as not saying it.
Niu Gao looked at Li Qi hurriedly.
You guy, when I asked you just now, you refused to say anything, and now you come to beg me again. You must have come from time travel too. Knowing that my idol is your future boss, I will definitely protect you.
Li Qi was also depressed, but he could also see that this matter was definitely not simple. Who was Hu You? He would meddle in such nosy matters. Li Qi didn't believe it, so he stood up and said: "Ma Shuai, please calm down. I'll take a look at this matter."
There must be something else hidden."
Hu You frowned and said, "I wonder what the deputy commander has to say?"
Li Qidao: "The lower official's inappropriate words are now just Ma Shuai's one-sided words."
"Are you questioning me?" Hu You glared and said in a deep voice.
"Your Majesty didn't say that."
Li Qi shrugged, changed the topic, and said: "But Coach Niu is also one of ours after all. It is not a good thing to hide a good woman secretly. If this matter gets spread, it will not be good for the reputation of our guard Ma."
Maybe those officials will have to impeach us again, so I think it’s better to make a decision after clarifying this matter. I don’t know who made the complaint. Can Ma Shuai let him come to confront Niu Gao? If this is really the case, then it must be
Military law is used to serve as a warning to others."
Niu Gao kept nodding his head and said: "Yes, yes, the deputy commander is right. Marshal Ma, ask that person to come out and confront me."
Hu You's face froze and he said: "Deputy Commander, I know this very well. There is no need to call that person. Niu Gao must be hiding. You should stop meddling in other people's business."
"Hey, what Ma Shuai said is wrong. This is not a trivial matter. I am also a member of the bodyguard Ma. This is not a trivial matter. If you just punish Niu Gao for his crime, it would be too unfair, and it would also be indirect.
Tell others that Niu Gao is indeed harboring a girl, and those of us who are guarding the horse will be scorned by others when we walk on the street. This matter is related to the reputation of the lower official, and the lower official cannot just sit idly by." Li Qi argued with reason.
Hu You also became angry and snorted coldly: "Does this commander do anything without the approval of your deputy commander?"
"I didn't say that."
Li Qi spread his hands and said: "But Niu Gao is also my soldier, but is it wrong for me, as a commander, to want to know what crimes my soldiers have committed? I'm afraid this doesn't make sense anywhere. Even if the Kaifeng Mansion is trying the case,
It is not up to the Kaifeng Prefecture Yin to have the final say. He has to provide evidence. Otherwise, Niu Gao may as well be handed over to the Kaifeng Prefecture for trial."
Niu Gao nodded again and said: "Yes, yes, that's a good idea."
"presumptuous."
Hu You slammed the table and shouted: "Li Qi, do you insist on going against me?"
Li Qi said sternly: "I don't dare. I said, I just think about the reputation of our guard Ma."
"you."
Hu You was so angry with Li Qi that he couldn't even speak.
Seeing this, Fan Xin stood up in a hurry and said, "Please calm down, we are all a family, why should we get angry over this matter." After saying that, he turned to Li Qi and said, "Deputy Commander, I have heard a little bit about this matter.
, what Ma Shuai said is true, this matter must be related to Coach Niu, if the matter of our bodyguard Ma comes to Kaifeng Mansion, it will inevitably make people laugh."
Two against one? Then I have no chance of winning.
Li Qi had a thought in his mind and said: "Ma Shuai, I don't know what to do. The source of this matter is the Lao Zhang family. Let's leave Niu Gao to me for the time being. I guarantee that this family will be found within three days."
"
Hu You raised his eyebrows and said, "What if you don't hand over the person by then?"
Li Qidao: "Then I won't ask anything about this matter from now on, and I will pour you tea and admit my mistake in front of the whole battalion." He is not a military general, he always raises his head to see you, and he is not clear about this matter, so
I don’t dare to speak too fully.
Hu You raised the corner of his mouth and said: "Okay. Then do what you say. However, if after three days, you don't hand over your people and let Niu Gao run away, then don't blame me for not thinking about the old relationship."
.”
I have no friendship with you.
Li Qi cupped his hands and said, "If this is the case, Li Qi is willing to accept military law."
