The person who came was none other than He Chong, the deputy commander of the palace.
I saw him dressed as an official, with a black horse under his crotch, and charging over with more than forty cavalry. He was really majestic and arrogant.
In comparison, our horse deputy commander who rides a donkey is much weaker.
Except for Niu Gao, the soldiers on Guard Ma's side began to feel a little timid. Not to mention that the Dianqian Division was already superior to Guard Ma, so they were no match in terms of numbers alone.
Chen Xu was overjoyed and shouted: "Deputy Commander, we are here."
Li Qi chuckled and said, "Teacher Chen, don't be so hasty, we have something to discuss."
Chen Xu thought Li Qi was scared and said with a smile: "I'm sorry, it's not me who has the final say now, and of course, it's not you who has the final say."
Ma Qiao got upset and scratched his Adam's apple a few times with a knife, saying, "Why do you talk so much nonsense? Believe it or not, I'll cut your tongue out."
This man must be a lunatic. Chen Xu was so frightened by the blade that he was scratched that he did not dare to say anything.
Li Qi shrugged and said: "Come on, I'd better not discuss it with you, lest you become mute."
In the blink of an eye, He Chong rushed over with his men. With a wave of his hand, his men immediately surrounded everyone including Li Qi.
He Chong glanced with dignity and said coldly: "Stop it all."
"Deputy Commander, help me."
Chen Xu quickly shouted.
When He Chong saw that one of his men had a knife held to his neck, he was furious. He pointed at Ma Qiao and shouted: "Who are you? Didn't you hear what I said? Why don't you put down the knife?"
Ma Qiao didn't bother to pay attention to him. He turned to look at Li Qi, who waved his hand slightly. Then he inserted the knife back into Chen Xu's waist and sighed: "I can't even protect you with the knife. I really don't know what you are."
How did you become the instructor of this imperial army?"
This guy really got a bargain and behaved well.
Li Qi pretended that he didn't hear it, and smiled and cupped his hands towards He Chong and said: "It turns out to be the deputy commander-in-chief. Sorry, sorry." Then he ordered his soldiers: "Why don't you salute the deputy commander-in-chief quickly?
Like some people, they don’t even understand such basic rules.”
After Niu Gao and others heard this, they immediately saluted and said: "For this humble position, please see the deputy commander-in-chief of the palace."
After saying this, Chen Xu's face turned red and white for a while, as if he had eaten feces.
He Chong pretended to have just seen Li Qi and said: "It turns out that Vice Admiral Ma is here too, polite, polite."
Li Qi spread his hands and said depressedly: "There is nothing we can do. Your people kidnapped my people. I, the deputy commander, didn't just come over to see what happened."
Kidnapping? You asked someone to kidnap me, okay?
Chen Xu almost ran out of breath and fainted, and said anxiously: "You---you farted."
Li Qi's face turned cold and he shouted: "Come here, pull Chen Xu down and chop him down."
As soon as these words came out, everyone was shocked.
The people in charge of the front office were all dumbfounded. There were obviously so many of us, but why did it seem like you were surrounding us? Is there any natural reason for this?
Not to mention the people in the front office, even Niu Gao and others were stunned and looked at Li Qi blankly. They seemed to be asking, are they really going to chop him down?
Li Qi shouted angrily: "What are you still doing? Didn't you hear my command?"
"Wait a minute." He Chong was slightly startled and said hurriedly.
Li Qi raised his eyebrows and said first: "Does the deputy commander want to protect his subordinates? Just now you heard with your own ears that he spoke rudely to me, did not distinguish between superior and inferior, and had no regard for superior officials. I am helping you clean up the garbage. If the commander-in-chief
The deputy commander wants to say thank you to me, and I appreciate it."
Thank you? You want me to kill my people, and I have to say thank you to you. You are taking yourself too seriously.
He Chong secretly cursed Chen Xu, a fool who can't mess with anyone, but he messed with this lunatic and let him get the handle. He said sarcastically: "This is because of my improper discipline. Deputy Marshal Ma shouldn't be the same as him."
Li Qi snorted and turned his head, obviously these words were not enough to satisfy him.
He Chong had no choice but to say to Chen Xu: "Coach Chen, you are so brave. You dare to rush into Deputy Commander Ma. Why don't you apologize to Deputy Commander Ma quickly?"
Chen Xu did not dare to disobey He Chong's order. He could only lower his head and apologize to Li Qi: "I was reckless in my humble position and contradicted Deputy Commander Ma. Please forgive me for this."
Damn it, there are really many of you, and I still have injured people here. I will write down this account for now, and I will settle it with you later.
Li Qi was silent for a while and then said: "Okay, for the sake of the deputy commander-in-chief, I will spare you this time. If you do it again next time, don't blame me for being ungrateful."
"Yes Yes Yes."
Chen Xu nodded quickly and responded, but he was very confused in his heart. The deputy commander had never paid attention to Commander Ma. Why was he so worried about Commander Ma that he would just arrest him?
When Niu Gao and others saw it, they all breathed a sigh of relief. Liang Xiong was almost exhausted. In the current situation, if there was a disagreement, he might really take action, and he would definitely suffer a loss. He secretly thought, this handsome man
He is really fearless, and he will take advantage of people at every turn, and he never cares who they are.
He Chong narrowed his eyes and asked Chen Xu: "Coach Chen, just now Deputy Commander Ma said that you kidnapped his people, what is going on?"
"He---reported to the deputy commander, how dare you do such a thing in a humble position."
Chen Xu paid attention to his wording this time, and told He Chong what he had just said and Ma Qiao's threat to him with a knife, and said: "Deputy Commander, I don't dare to commit such a lowly position, so I was given the opportunity to be taken advantage of by others.
If you offend our front minister, please punish me, the deputy commander."
Damn! You are so shameless. It was obviously because of your incompetence that you were captured by Maqiao. Now you are saying that you dare not commit the following crimes. You can't be so shameless as a human being!
Li Qi smiled and said: "Instructor Chen is very eloquent and can speak plainly even though he is black. Li Qi really admires him."
Chen Xu said calmly: "Every sentence of humble duty is true, I don't dare to say nonsense."
He Chong hummed and said: "Deputy Commander Ma, you asked someone to hold my subordinates hostage with knives. Isn't this a bit against the rules?"
Li Qi smiled and said: "Then your people stopped my people for no reason. Is this what it should be? As a deputy commander, I was surrounded by a coach. If I don't teach him a lesson, then I will still be embarrassed in the future.
Soldiers?"
"Hey, Deputy Commander Ma is wrong. Coach Chen and the others have been here for three days and three nights for this black bear. This black bear should belong to them. They just want this black bear back. They have no intention of embarrassing you.
How can you say that he is the one who stopped you for no reason?" He Chong raised his hand and said.
"He said three days was just three days. I also said that I had been setting it up for a month. Really, of course the bear belongs to whoever catches it. My soldiers even broke their feet trying to catch the bear, and that
The trap was made by your people, and if you just want to kill the bear with just one sentence, it would be too overbearing." Li Qi sneered.
In fact, He Chong really didn't want to conflict with Li Qi. But he felt that he couldn't bear to lose face by letting them go like this. He narrowed his eyes and said, "What Deputy Marshal Ma said makes sense, that's fine." He paused.
He said loudly: "Take all the people back to me. I will make a decision after I find out the truth."
Li Qi was stunned and snorted coldly: "Deputy Commander, why do you arrest me?"
He Chong said with a smile: "Deputy Commander Ma, don't misunderstand me. I just want to find out what happened. Of course you don't have to go, but don't worry. I, He Chong, always handle things fairly, and you are a good person.
Regardless of my people, I will treat them all equally, and when the matter is clarified, I will naturally send someone to send your soldiers back to the camp."
Day, you are playing this trick with me, you treat me like an idiot.md, you still deal with it impartially, I am your sister, if my people come to your place, your mother will die, you have the final say whether it is right or wrong.
, how can anything in the world be so cheap.
Li Qi was almost annoyed by He Chong's IQ and said with a smile: "That's good, I think so too, but I want to invite your people to come and sit at my place. Don't worry, I've always done things well."
Just to be fair, after the facts are found out, how about I personally send your soldiers back?"
He Chong smiled and said: "Actually, it doesn't matter where you go, but I have so many people. If the deputy commander wants to ask one by one, it will probably take several days, which is really troublesome. Our front secretary is not as relaxed and casual as you.
We have to protect the emperor at all times, and the guards on duty cannot be changed easily, so I don’t think I’ll bother Deputy Commander Ma.”
The people in front of the palace all looked at Li Qi arrogantly, looking extremely arrogant.
Damn it! If you use the emperor to suppress me, I will be scared.
Li Qi sneered and said: "You are bullying the few when there are many."
He Chong said with a confident smile: "No, no, I am doing things impartially. I also ask Deputy Commander Ma not to delay my work."
Li Qi narrowed his eyes and smiled: "What if I refuse?"
"If Vice Admiral Ma wants to make a big deal out of a big deal, He will naturally give you this face, as long as you keep the bear."
"What if my people want it, and the bear wants it too?"
"Then He will only be offended."
He Chong said with a smile, but his men had already begun to walk over slowly, Niu Gao and others also drew their weapons, and the atmosphere suddenly became tense.
Li Qi is not afraid of making things big. After all, he is now involved in the interests of many parties. If something happens to him, someone will naturally come to protect him. What he is most afraid of now is not being able to defeat him. After all, there are too many opponents. Quietly and Ma Qiao
He winked.
The tacit understanding between Ma Qiao and Li Qi had reached a certain level, and he immediately understood that Li Qi wanted him to capture the thief first and capture the king first, so he glanced back to indicate that he had no problem.
After getting Ma Qiao's answer, Li Qi's confidence doubled and he said to Niu Gao: "Master Niu, didn't I just tell you to take your things and go back to be punished? Why are you still here? Of course, if someone stops you from performing your mission,
, then you can do whatever you want, I will take care of things for you."
When Niu Gao heard that Li Qi was supporting him, he waved his hand and said, "Let's go."
Swish swish swish.
The front officer of the palace immediately displayed his weapons to stop Niu Gao and others. One person said: "Without the order of the deputy commander, none of you are allowed to leave."
Li Qi always paid attention to taking the initiative when doing things. He winked at Ma Qiao and asked him to take action immediately.
At this moment, a rooster-like voice broke the tense atmosphere, "The imperial edict arrives---."
He Chong was startled and thought to himself, could this matter have alarmed the emperor? When he turned around, he saw a small group of people coming, four or five men in uniforms carrying a sedan, followed by a few young eunuchs.
.
He Chong immediately asked his subordinates to put away their weapons, and Li Qi also asked Ma Qiao not to act rashly.
"The imperial edict has arrived."
In the blink of an eye, the sedan arrived in front of everyone, and a person got off the sedan, it was Liang Shicheng.
He is already here? He Chong saw him and hurriedly dismounted his horse and saluted his subordinates, saying: "I'm sorry to see you, Mr. Liang."
Liang Shicheng seemed to be in a hurry and ignored them at all. He glanced at everyone and suddenly locked on Li Qi, and said quickly: "The emperor has spoken and the guards and horses have ordered Li Qi to enter the palace immediately to face the saint."
Entering the palace to meet the saint?
Li Qi couldn't believe his ears and looked at Liang Shicheng with wide eyes?
Seeing that Li Qi was still standing there stupidly, Liang Shicheng said hurriedly: "Deputy Marshal Ma, come with us quickly, the emperor is impatient to wait."
Li Qi was startled for a moment, then thought, never mind him, let's settle the account of the Palace Chief first. Then he said aggrievedly: "Master Liang, it's not that I won't go with you, it's just that the Deputy Commander-in-Chief wants me to go with him.
Go to the front office to assist in the investigation. Look at this scene. Without the order of the deputy commander, I don’t dare to move!"
He Chong was complaining in his heart and scolded all the eighteen generations of Li Qi's ancestors. The emperor asked you to enter the palace. Even if I have nine heads, I would not dare to stop you. Besides, I never said that I would invite you back.
You are the one who investigated and refused to leave, and now you are pretending to be wronged in front of Mr. Liang. Are you trying to kill me? You are really shameless.
Liang Shicheng was stunned for a moment, and then he noticed He Chong and the others. He yelled at the top of his lungs: "He Chong, what are you doing? Do you want to rebel?"
"I don't dare to do this in a humble position."
He Chong knelt on one knee and said, cold sweat dripping from his back.
Haha. I am so lucky. This edict came at the right time.
Li Qi almost burst out laughing when he saw He Chong's flabby look. He said first, "Master Liang, it's like this. I recently planned to develop a new dish for the emperor, so I asked my subordinates to come to the mountain to get a little bear to please the emperor.
Bless you, my men just caught a little black bear, but the deputy commander also wants this little bear. No, he wants to invite us to his place. After careful discussion, I hope we can give him this bear. I
It’s also a dilemma!”
When Liang Xiong, Niu Gao and others heard this, they all lowered their heads in unison and tried their best to hold back their smiles. This deputy commander was so good at making up his words. He could even tell the dead to be alive.
He Chong was so angry that he almost spewed blood. Could you still be more shameless and develop new dishes for the emperor? Who would believe it? Why don't you fucking die!
Liang Shicheng was also anxious and sweating profusely. He had just gone to Guard Masi and then to the military camp, which wasted a lot of time. Now he had no time to take care of these things. Moreover, he also knew that the emperor often went to Zuixianju.
After eating, he believed it was true. He pointed at He Chong with his hands on his hips and said angrily: "Okay, okay, He Chong, you are really courageous. Okay, okay, you all just follow me to the main hall and let the emperor make a decision."
Li Qi nodded and said: "What Mr. Liang said is true---."
"Master Liang, how dare you bother the emperor with such a trivial matter? After investigation by this humble official, it was found that all this was a misunderstanding, a misunderstanding." He Chong quickly interrupted Li Qi. Now he was trembling with fear. If he really went to the emperor to make trouble,
, that means even the prince can't save him.
Liang Shicheng obviously wanted to scare him and shouted: "Then why don't you tell your people to get out of the way?"
"Yes Yes Yes."
He Chong hurriedly waved his hand, and his soldiers quickly retreated far away.
Li Qi said to He Chong: "Deputy Commander, what about this bear---?"
"Of course you take it away."
"What about my people?"
"Of course you arrange your people, why bother asking me." He Chong gritted his teeth and said.
You are so obedient. Li Qi smiled slightly, cupped his hands and said, "Thank you, Deputy Commander, for letting me go."
"Don't dare, don't dare."
Li Qi said to Niu Gao and others: "You should return to the camp immediately to accept the punishment. I will follow Mr. Liang into the palace to face the saint."
"yes."
Niu Gao and his men pushed the cart and walked towards the city in a swaggering manner. The people in the front office beside him all lowered their heads. This was really embarrassing.
