The crowd gradually dispersed, the cavalry soldiers slowly gathered the thirteen corpses and decorated them, the yellow sand swept across the clearing, and the flags of a few sparse shops on the street swirled in the wind, adding a bit of desolation to this border city.

Li Su stood on the stage, looking at Cao Yu in the distance silently, the two were too far apart to see the expressions on each other's faces, and the strange thing was that everyone knew what kind of expressions the other party had on their faces.

After a long time, Li Su suddenly smiled at Cao Yu and arched his hand from a distance.

Cao Yu snorted angrily, shook the sleeves of his robe fiercely, and turned to leave.

Li Su smiled, also turned around, thinking that Cao Yu had thrown his sleeves at him just now, and felt unwilling, so he also made a gesture of throwing his sleeves towards Cao Yu's back from a distance, very chic.

*******************************************************************

"Send someone to buy grain from the merchants in the eastern and western cities immediately, you might as well buy more, it's always right to stock up on more grain in the big camp......

On the way back to the camp, Li Su rode on the camel with half-squinted eyes, a hint of an unpredictable smile on the corner of his mouth, his expression was lazy, and he opened his mouth from time to time, making a lazy yawn.

"Today, I believe that no one in the entire Xizhou will dare to embarrass the camp anymore, if there is really that kind of guy who is not afraid of death to continue to be embarrassed, then ...... Fulfill him, and if he is willing to die, we will be willing to bury him. Li Su yawned again, feeling so sleepy, he might have gotten up too early today, he got up before dawn, and then the battalion ordered troops and led the troops into the city, teaching and killing, and he was a little too busy.

Jiang Quan rode with Li Su. The expression was a little more awe and admiration, and Li Su's eyes were different, watery, which made Li Su shiver all over his body, and he wanted to slap him......

said that he was riding together, but in fact, Jiang Quan was faintly one step behind Li Su. Such a respectful posture has never been seen before, not only Jiang Quan, but after the establishment of the Western Prefecture today, all the soldiers in the cavalry camp looked at Li Su differently than before, and Jiang Quan, they were all watery, Li Su was a little broken, this is simply a spiritual attack......

"Don't worry, don't worry, from today. I believe that all the officials and people in the city dare not touch the tiger whiskers of our cavalry camp, and there is absolutely no difficulty in purchasing food, and the danger of running out of food in the cavalry camp has finally passed. Jiang Quan smiled a little restrainedly, it seemed that Li Su's appearance of ordering the killing today left a deep impression on him.

Li Su's half-squinted eyes opened a little, turned his head to look at Jiang Quan Zhengse, and said, "Killing people today is really a last resort. From then on, the cavalry battalion was able to gain a foothold in Xizhou, and General Chiang wanted to warn his soldiers. In the final analysis, we are still foreign, killing a few people does not mean that we will be able to claim the king and hegemony from now on, and the general must reiterate military discipline when he goes back, if he finds that the soldiers of the cavalry battalion have bullied the officials and the people. It must be strictly investigated. ”

Jiang Quan nodded heavily: "Don't worry about Li, the soldiers under the command of the last general are all children of Guanzhong, and the people in Guanzhong are not very good-tempered, but they are all reasonable, and the soldiers under the command of the last general will not bully the people......"

He smiled with a hint of awe. Jiang Quan added: "Especially Li Beijia's order today, thirteen heads fell to the ground, not only to Xizhou, but also to our cavalry battalion, I believe that from today onwards, no one in the cavalry battalion will dare to take Li Beijia's military order as improper." ”

Li Su said with a smile: "It's a good thing to have awe, the killers under him are restrained, and they will not have taboos in speaking and doing things, and it will also add a lot of trouble to us, otherwise if the people below violate military discipline, they are all old brothers who have been with each other for many years, and it will be difficult to kill or not to kill." ”

"Li Beijia is right......" Jiang Quan echoed, and then his expression became a little worried: "Today, Li Beijia ordered the killing of thirteen officials, although he has established his authority in Xizhou City, but ...... After all, this matter is too big, if Cao Yu sends someone to report this matter to Chang'an, His Majesty and the prime ministers of the three provinces are afraid that they will be angry, and the consequences will be ......."

Li Su laughed: "The consequences? What are the consequences? Today, Cao Yu took this matter down in front of the people of the whole city, if he played the imperial court, he, the first official of Xizhou, would be unlucky, and besides, ......"

Li Su sneered: "Besides, does Cao Yu have the courage to report to Chang'an?" I don't know how many shady things are hidden on the ground in Xizhou, pull out the radish and bring out the mud, and if the matter is opened, he will be more unlucky than me, and he will not dare to report it if he has a hundred guts. ”

Jiang Quanqi said: "Is there anything that is not visible in Xizhou? ”

Li Su looked at him strangely: "Didn't you notice that the taste of Xizhou was very wrong?" ”

“…… No. Jiang Quan said a little ashamedly.

Li Su stretched out his hands: "You see, your existence has brought out my wisdom and martial arts to the fullest, so it is absolutely right for you to worship me and fear me now......"

Jiang Quan: "............"

The two were talking, and when they were still a hundred feet away from the camp, a petite figure staggered out of the gate in the distance, but it was Xu Mingzhu.

Li Su was a little strange and hurriedly stepped forward.

"Husband, ......" Xu Mingzhu suddenly threw herself into Li Su's arms and cried.

Li Su unconsciously wrapped her into his arms, Xu Mingzhu's body kept trembling, obviously frightened, and his body was dirty, his hair and body were covered with grass clippings and dust, as if he had just been dug out of the soil.

"What's wrong? What happened? ”

Xu Mingzhu cried: "Less than an hour after the husband led the troops out of the camp, a group of soldiers and horses rushed from outside the camp, all riding camels and holding knives in their hands......

Li Su chuckled in his heart, and said in a lost voice: "Soldiers and horses? How many soldiers? Are you sure you're coming to our camp? ”

Xu Mingzhu nodded again and again in his arms: "About five or six hundred people, they are indeed coming to our camp, the concubines don't know the military formation, but the formation they put on is like a big awl, everyone is holding a knife in their hands, when there are still dozens of zhang away from the camp, they probably found that there is no one in the camp, so they stopped the offensive and turned around and left ......."

Li Su hurriedly held her arm and looked up and down: "Are you okay?" ”

Xu Mingzhu shook his head: "After the husband ordered the soldiers and horses, there were only dozens of soldiers left in the camp, and the concubine was in the camp tent, hearing that the ground trembled slightly, the concubine suddenly knew that something was wrong, and after seeing the soldiers and horses out of the tent, the concubine hurriedly ran towards the stable where the camels were raised, and then hid in the hay pile for feeding the camels, and buried herself tightly with a large bundle of hay......

Li Su let out a sigh of relief, his face looked a little better, fortunately, this woman is still quite smart, even if the soldiers and horses of unknown origin rushed into the camp to slaughter, hiding in the hay pile has a few chances of avoiding the enemy's search and pursuit, if you don't care about running outside the camp, there is nothing to hide in the vast desert, then it is really looking for death.

The strength to hug Xu Mingzhu unconsciously tightened, and endless guilt surged in Li Su's heart.

I didn't think about it well, and I underestimated the situation in Xizhou too much, and I didn't expect that someone would attack the camp in this vast desert, and leaving Xu Mingzhu in the camp almost caused an irreparable regret in this life.

Xu Mingzhu buried his head in Li Su's arms, feeling his strong arms tightly hugging him, after the initial fear eased, a little sweetness quietly swelled up in his heart, and the corners of his mouth unconsciously curled.

I don't know how long it took, Xu Mingzhu gradually realized that something was wrong, looked up, and found that the cavalry soldiers behind Li Su were all looking at her in a daze, Xu Mingzhu was ashamed, her pretty face was flushed, and after letting out an exclamation of "ah", she covered her face like a frightened deer and turned her head and ran.

After seeing Xu Mingzhu's figure running into the camp, Li Su's face quickly became gloomy.

Jiang Quan's face was already iron-blue, and he was attacked by someone for some reason, and Shangguan's family almost lost their lives, which was a great shame for a military general.

"What the hell is the good thing that the miscellaneous people did?" Jiang Quan gritted his teeth and said fiercely.

"Soldiers and horses of unknown origin?" Li Su showed a gloomy smile: "In the vast desert, how can there be so many things of unknown origin?" ”

Jiang Quan said angrily: "It must be Cao Yu's ghost!" This miscellaneous creature wants to kill us! ”

Li Su looked at him strangely: "It's normal to kill people, don't forget that I also killed the officials in Xizhou today, it's a matter of life and death, why are you so angry?" ”

Jiang Quan was stunned for a moment, suddenly a little short of breath, and then he didn't know what he had figured out, puffed up his chest and said evilly: "It's different!" We are good people, they are bad people, good people can kill bad people, but bad people can't kill good people! ”

Li Su sighed: "You can say such an arrogant and domineering truth, and you can say it justifiably, General Jiang, I think you are more like a bad person." ”

Jiang Quan himself felt unreasonable, scratched his head and smiled awkwardly.

"Li Beijia, the last general is a martial artist, you only know how to dance knives and guns, you are a great talent who is famous in Chang'an, and your heart is definitely more alive than the last general, you say, is this army Cao Yu ......?"

Li Su shook his head: "I haven't got any solid evidence for this matter, and I don't dare to say nonsense, there are a total of two Zhichong Mansions in Xizhou, and Cao Tingshi does have the power to transfer troops, if it is said that he ordered the soldiers of Zhichong Mansion to pretend to be bandits to attack the camp, but I don't dare to believe it, the stakes are too big, and the soldiers of Datang will not help him do this, if it is said that he instructed the people outside to do it, hehe, this matter is interesting, on the ground in Xizhou, except for our Datang Zhichong Mansion, What other force can have a force of five or six hundred soldiers and horses willing to be instructed by Cao Yu? ”

Turning his head to look at the vast desert outside the camp, Li Su sighed: "A small deserted city, the world is far away, who would have thought that there would be a dark tide surging here, and it would be so ...... than before."

Jiang Quan replied very wisely: "If we knew this was the case, we should have begged Your Majesty to bring more soldiers and horses......

Li Su looked at him strangely and said, "What are you doing with so many soldiers and horses?" What I want to say is that if we knew this, we should have ransacked the caravan when we were on the road, and after dividing the treasure, we dispersed, you go back to your Gao Laozhuang, and I will go back to my Huaguo Mountain......"
