Li Qi suddenly glanced at Gao Yanei and asked cautiously.
Gao Yanei kept shaking his head and said: "No, how could I do such a shameless thing?"
"really?"
"of course it's true!"
"Then why don't you ask me what's in the letter?"
"Ah? Oh, I almost forgot, what was written in the letter? Did my father say anything about me?"
"Your father asked you to stay outside for the rest of your life and never go back."
"How is that possible? My father will not be heartless."
Li Qi shook his head and said: "Actually, your father just asked me to keep an eye on you. You should go back first. I want to rest."
"Why rest so early?"
"Boss, I'm different from you. I still have something to do tomorrow."
"oh."
Gao Yanei rolled his eyes and walked out.
As soon as Gao Yanei left, Li Qi immediately ordered someone to call Ma Qiao.
As soon as Ma Qiao entered the house, Li Qi said: "Let's go to the lake with me."
Ma Qiao whispered: "Commander Bu, I just went out for a walk and found that there were a lot of spies around, who seemed to be Zheyan's hostage."
Li Qi was stunned and said: "That would be terrible. Is there any way you can get rid of them?"
Ma Qiao said straightforwardly: "Of course it's okay for me to be alone, but it would be quite difficult to take you with me."
"Am I so bad?"
Ma Qiao nodded extremely seriously.
So disrespectful? Li Qi said helplessly: "Okay, okay, go there now and tell Miss Zhao that everything will go according to plan."
"That's it?"
"If you think it's too little, just add a sentence and tell her to be careful."
"Yes, I took note of it."
"Oh. Call the drunkard here too."
...
Not long after Ma Qiao left, Drunkard came in. Li Qi said straight to the point: "Drunkard, I have a task for you now. As long as you finish it, I will immediately give you your favorite Tian Xia Wushuang?"
The drunkard was overjoyed at first, and then said: "Where did you come from to be unparalleled in the world?"
Li Qi smiled and said: "I didn't, but Gao Yanei and the others brought a lot of them, but now I have captured them all."
"Yeah, why didn't I think of that!" The drunkard slapped his forehead in annoyance, and then hurriedly asked: "What mission?"
Li Qi whispered a few words in his ear.
"So simple?"
"It's that simple!"
"make a deal."
...
On the second day in the evening, Li Qi called brother Yue Fei and Niu Gao into the room and said, "Immediately tell the brothers that if the food is not available tomorrow, they will set off back to Beijing that night."
"What?"
Niu Gao exclaimed, "Bu Shuai, what happened?"
Yue Fei frowned and said: "Commander Bu, now that the food has not arrived, how can we just leave?"
Li Qi said calmly: "Execute the order!"
"As commanded."
"go quickly."
"yes."
Just as the three of them were about to leave, Li Qi suddenly said: "Niu Gao, please wait until you leave. I have something else to tell you."
...
At noon on the seventh day, Zhe Yanzhi and Ji Minren came to the county government office again.
"Commander Bu, seven days are here, but we still haven't seen any food. What can you say now?" Zhe Yanzhi said angrily.
Li Qidao: "I'm talking about about seven days. Besides, it's still noon, so it will definitely arrive tomorrow."
"tomorrow?"
Zhe Yanzhi frowned and glanced at Li Qi, saying, "What if we don't come tomorrow?"
Li Qi hummed: "Then what do you think I should do? I swear to God now, will you believe it? Since you don't believe me anymore, what else can I say?"
Zhe Yanzhi was stunned for a moment and seemed a little at a loss for words.
Ji Minren said hurriedly: "Both of you, please calm down first, Commander Bu. In fact, General Zhe did this out of concern for the people. You don't know that many people have no food to eat now, so how can they still have the energy to farm?"
"I know that, and I'm anxious too. I've been eating porridge these past few days, and I'm also hungry!"
Zheyanzhi suddenly stood up and said: "No need to say more, I will wait for one more day. If the food is not available, I, Zheyanzhi, will go to the capital to ask for an explanation."
After saying that, he turned around and left.
Li Qi hurriedly said: "Prefect Ji, go and persuade him quickly."
"Why."
Ji Minren quickly chased after him and said: "General Zhe, wait for me!"
That night, the third watch.
There were three figures squatting in the corner south of the county government office. They were Li Qi, Gao Yanei and Hong Tianjiu. Li Qi looked at the excited eyes of these two people and was speechless for a while. He finally understood that these two idiots were not afraid, but
I don't even know what fear is.
Suddenly I heard Ma Qiao's voice coming from outside, "Commander Bu, you can come out now."
"superior."
The three of them hurriedly climbed up the wooden ladder.
Coming outside, Li Qi asked: "Everyone has been solved."
Ma Qiaoshou pointed to a tree on the side of the road and said, "They are all lying there."
Hong Tianjiu said excitedly: "Ma Qiao, you are so awesome."
"Stop talking nonsense and leave quickly."
The four people hurriedly left the county town and arrived at the military camp.
Yue Fei and other generals rushed over to greet him. Li Qi asked, "Are you all ready?"
Niu Gao said: "Report to Bu Shuai, everything is ready."
Yue Fei still seemed a little hesitant and said: "Bu Shuai, are we really going to leave like this?"
Li Qi nodded and said: "Yue Fei, we are leaving just to reduce the conflict with the Zhe family army, and I have to go back to Beijing to get food."
Yue Fei nodded.
Li Qidao: "Okay, let's set off."
"yes."
Li Qi and others mounted their horses, and the whole army immediately moved quickly towards the capital.
But just after walking four or five miles, a sudden fire suddenly lit up the sky, and thunderous footsteps sounded all around.
They saw dense crowds of people coming towards them from all directions, at least five thousand people.
Yue Fei, Niu Gao and others remained calm in the face of danger and immediately formed formations to prepare to meet the enemy.
Ma Qiao, on the other hand, hurriedly protected Li Qi.
Hong Tianjiu and Gao Yanei had never seen such a scene before, and they couldn't help but be stunned.
At this time, a white-robed general slowly came forward, pointing his red tasseled spear, and sneered: "Commander Bu, where are you going at this late hour?"
The person who came was none other than Orihiko Zhi.
Li Qi forced out a smile and said, "Oh, that's it. I saw that the food was not coming yet, so I was about to go look for it."
"Really?" How could Zheyanzhi believe such a ridiculous excuse and said, "Looking for food requires Bu Shuai to personally go out and take so many people with him."
Li Qi chuckled: "Is it easy to do things when there are many people?"
Zhe Yanzhi suddenly turned cold, pointed his spear, and said: "You can't hide it from me. I see that you are the same as those corrupt officials. Fortunately, I still believed in you before. Now it seems that I have trusted the wrong person, and I
The people of Fengxiang also believed in the wrong person."
Li Qi said displeasedly: "Zhe Yanzhi, I came here on the emperor's orders. Keep your mouth clean for me. If you know what I mean, get out of the way."
Zhe Yanzhi sneered and said, "If you don't return the food, you will never leave."
Li Qi frowned and said, "How dare you, a Zhe Yanzi, besiege the imperial minister? Do you, the Zhe Family Army, want to rebel?"
"Don't bring the matter to the Zhejiajun. What the Zhejiajun said from your mouth is an insult to our Zhejiajun." Zheyan snorted: "I reiterate, I don't want to rebel, but
If you push me hard, don't blame me for being ruthless. I advise you to put down your weapons, come back with me honestly, and spit out the corrupted food."
Li Qi said lightly: "What if I don't let you go? I still don't believe you dare to do it."
Zheyan said, "You forced me to do this." As he spoke, he raised his red tassel gun, and the soldiers slowly began to surround Li Qi and others. Obviously Zheyan still didn't want to rely on force to solve the problem, otherwise they would rush forward and Li Qi would be attacked.
It's strange that they are helpless.
The atmosphere became increasingly tense. It seemed as if a war was about to break out.
Niu Gao said anxiously: "Bu Shuai, let's protect you and break out."
Li Qi shook his head and said, "Wait and see."
Just at this critical moment, the sound of rapid horse hooves suddenly came from behind.
Zhe Yanzhi looked shocked and turned around to look.
After a while, the sound of horse hooves became louder and louder, as if the ground was shaking.
A weird smile appeared on the corner of Li Qi's mouth, and he murmured: "MD, Zhao Jingyan, you really didn't disappoint me, you really scared me to death."
"Stop, stop it all."
I saw a cavalry group of about a hundred people rushing over. The leader was a man in his thirties, wearing leather armor and holding a mace. He could be called an extraordinary warrior.
"Zhong Family Army?"
When Zhe Yanzhi saw the big flag with the word "Zhong" engraved on it, he couldn't help but exclaimed.
The general came up and shouted: "I'm going to plant a seed, but the commander-in-chief is here. Can you come out and see me?"
Li Qi hurriedly shouted: "General Zhong, I am inside."
Zhong turned his head and asked Zhe Yan: "Yan Zhi, why are you surrounding Bu Shuai and why don't you quickly order your people to get out of the way?"
Zhe Yanzhi frowned and said: "Brother Zhong, I was forced to do nothing. However, why did you come here? I didn't receive your notice."
Zhong said sulkily: "Don't talk nonsense, do you know what you are doing now? Let Bu Shuai go now."
After all, Zhe Yanzhi was young and energetic. Hearing his arrogant and arrogant tone, he felt unhappy and said: "Brother Zhong, this is a matter of our Fengxiang Mansion. It's not your Zhong Family Army's turn to take care of it."
As soon as he finished speaking, an old but majestic voice suddenly sounded from behind, "My dear nephew, I haven't seen you for a long time. I never thought that you have grown so big, and your tone seems to be much louder!"
Zhe Yanzhi turned pale with shock and said in a trembling voice: "Uncle Zhong?"
I saw a dark area behind, not ten thousand, but eight thousand. The leader was a gray-haired old general, who was not Zhong Shidao.
When Zhe Yanzhi saw Master Zhong Dao, he hurriedly jumped off his horse, knelt on one knee and said, "My nephew pays homage to Uncle Zhong."
Master Zhong sighed and said, "My dear nephew, I never imagined that I would meet you in this way after eight years. You really disappoint me."
"Uncle Zhong, it's him---."
Zhong Shidao shouted: "You are still thinking of making excuses. Is this how your father taught you? Do you know what you are doing now? Besieging the imperial minister, you are rebelling! You are so confused. You are a loyal and good man.
After that, no matter how wronged you are, you should not do anything outrageous and unethical, as your family's reputation will be completely ruined on you."
Zhe Yanzhi did not dare to talk back to Zhong Shidao. He was sweating profusely and said, "Uncle Zhong taught me that my nephew has realized his mistake."
"Hey, sir, sir, don't just chat, hurry up and get me out!"
When Zhe Yanzhi heard Li Qi's voice, his chest was filled with anger, and he cursed secretly, I really misjudged the person, this guy is really a corrupt official who is greedy for life and afraid of death.
This kid! A wry smile appeared at the corner of Zhong Shidao's mouth, and he glanced at Zhe Yanzhi in a disappointed voice, and said solemnly: "All the soldiers listened to the order and immediately captured this group of rebellious thieves. Anyone who dares to resist will be killed."
amnesty."
Zhe Yanzhi was shocked and said hurriedly: "Uncle Zhong---."
Master Zhong raised his hand and said: "It's useless to talk more. If you don't want your people to sacrifice innocently, just ask them to quickly put down their weapons and surrender."
"this---."
At this moment, there was a burst of chaotic footsteps in front of him. Master Zhong looked up and saw a group of people rushing towards this side. He couldn't help but frowned. (To be continued...)
