When Ashina Kuti took that step, the two Tang soldiers beside him immediately became vigilant, pulled out half of their swords, and leaned towards Ashina Kuti. They are two of the eight people with the highest strength selected in the scout camp of the Shuofang army after the ring battle, one is Wang Rare, and the other is Cui Li, who is the son of the Boling Cui family, but he doesn't want to rely on the nepotism of the family to seek an official position, the reason is very simple, he is the same kind of hot-blooded Tang man as Ye Tingcheng, and he was instilled with border verses like "Why don't men take Wu hooks and collect Guanshan Fifty Prefectures" by those fox friends all day long, so that he finally ran to Shuofang to join the army without saying goodbye one day.

Although it was said that they said goodbye without saying goodbye, but the Cui family was powerful, which was unimaginable to ordinary people, and it didn't take much time for them to find Cui Li's whereabouts, knowing his ambitions, and in desperation, they could only say hello to Wei Guangcheng, the envoy of Shuofang Jiedu at that time, and asked him to be optimistic about Cui Li. And Wei Guangcheng is also a smart person, he knows that if he wants to protect a person, then the best way is not to let him be promoted, so although Cui Li worked hard to train himself and squeezed into the scout camp, he was just a small guy in the end, which made him quite unconvinced.

However, because of this, Cui Li avoided all kinds of dangerous actions, and he was not noticeable, and no one knew that he was a child of the Cui family.

But this is only when Wei Guangcheng is still in office, because of Li Longji's suspicion, the term of office of any festival envoy of the Tang Dynasty is basically two years, and every time the time limit is reached, those who perform badly will be transferred internally, and a false position will be arranged in the palace to be dismissed. If you perform better, you will be transferred, that is, you will change the garrison of the Jiedu envoy, for example, you are the Shuofang Jiedu envoy this year, maybe you will be the Longyou Jiedu envoy in two years, or the Hexi Jiedu envoy, and so on.

It is not difficult to imagine that the reason why this is the case is because Li Longji does not trust these jiedu envoys under him, and is afraid that they will support their own troops and rebel. His setting will completely dispel his concerns, because if he does this, even if he is a talented temperance envoy, he will have nothing to do, and the two-year time limit is actually only enough for ordinary people to gain a firm foothold in an unfamiliar land, let alone develop their own forces and recruit private troops. If you really want to rebel, your subordinates will not follow you, because the two-year time limit is not enough to completely narrow the distance between officers and soldiers, let alone rebel, which is against the general righteousness, not to mention that the people of the Tang Dynasty have a centripetal spirit, and it is impossible for anyone to respond. But this is only relative, there has been a person who has broken this rule recently, that is An Lushan, he cleverly colluded with Xi Qi and the two departments, when they were attached, he exaggerated his political achievements, and when they were strong and independent, they could only subdue them by themselves, and under this pretext, he let Li Longji withdraw his transfer order many times, so that he could develop his Hu people with peace of mind. That's right, it's the power of the Hu people, and he has already begun to replace the Han soldiers and generals in his station with Hu soldiers and Hu generals, because he knows the centripetal force of these guys, and it is impossible to respond to his rebellion. If you want to raise an army, you can only rely on these mercenary Hu people, although he himself is such a Hu man......

Unlike An Lushan, Wang Zhongsi was still the first time to serve as a jiedu in Shuofang, and he had just taken office and received such a heavy burden, where could he manage the children of his own high-ranking officials and nobles? So Cui Li was forgotten like this, but he liked this feeling very much, no one was paying attention to him at any time, for fear that something would happen to him, and he didn't even dare to send him out of the task, although his skills were quite good, but he could only be useless. It wasn't until Li Zheng served as the captain of the scout battalion that he began to be sent out on missions, and it wasn't that no one asked Li Zheng to tell him about the background of his Boling Cui family, but he was blocked back by Li Zheng's words on the battlefield, regardless of his status, what he wanted was this kind of fair and strict boss, so that he could really get ahead. After seeing Ye Tingcheng's skills and deeds, Cui Li, who was not on the same team as Ye Tingcheng and had a lot of words about him, soon became Ye Tingcheng's loyal subordinate like other brothers. He knew that Wang Tiancheng was originally Ye Tingcheng's deployment, and he also performed well during the battle of the Sanggan River, so in addition to Huan Chenyu and Bai Quan, Ye Tingcheng was also relatively close and trusted to Wang Tian, which made him a little unconvinced, so during the time he entered Mobei, he had been actively expressing himself, and finally attracted Ye Tingcheng's attention, so to speak, if he wanted to evaluate one of the eight people who performed the best, it would naturally be Cui Li. However, with Ye Tingcheng's inference ability, of course, he could also see that Wang Tianyuan was deliberately letting Cui Li behave, before they burned Xicang, sacrificing the brothers of the fifth team, and they all performed well, although the canonization and reward have not yet come down, but promotion should be a sure thing, so Wang Tianyuan wanted to give Cui Li the opportunity to perform, he Ye Tingcheng could see through it, but he would not say it, because there was nothing bad about it. Although the other six people are not in his original team, they are all determined to follow him, and being able to stand out from so many brothers in the scout camp shows that they are not bad breeds, although Cui Li is now stealing the limelight, but they will also not be convinced, there is competition, there is motivation, this is a truth that has existed since ancient times.

With Ashina's skills, he naturally noticed the behavior of these two people, only to see him snort coldly, retract the foot that stepped out and said: "Why are you so nervous? Ashina Shi is dead, no matter for any of us, it is a good thing, how can I make any moves? Not to mention, if I really want to do something, can you two boast of being able to stop me?"

His words were reminding Cui Li and Wang that the difference in strength between them was good, in the previous confrontation, except for the three of them, the other members of the mission had at most a fight with those black-clothed subordinates of Ashina Kuti, and his own words were absolutely unbeatable, this was not their personal experience, but an intuition as a strong man.
