In the morning, Jin Zhifu, who was groggy because of a hangover, suddenly heard Chang Sui calling in a low voice outside and couldn't help but be a little annoyed - Damn, I don't know if I drank too much last night, what is it called?

However, he was confused and remembered that he was here to suppress the bandits, and if he showed slackness, he should be careful to let Li Buqi, who was hand-eyed, grab the handle, so although he was not happy, he still got up and asked, "What's the matter?" ”

Chang Sui came in to help him get dressed, and walked out of the bedroom The master hurriedly came over to report: "As soon as the city gate opened, the person sent by He Dujian to report the victory arrived, saying that he broke through the Drill Tianzhai last night, killed and injured more than 700 thieves below the master of the three villages, and only took the owner of the village, Hao Daworm, and the owner of the second village, Jiang Ying. ”

"What?" Jin Zhifu suddenly woke up: "Broke through the Diamond Heaven Village last night? Did He Tao drink too much? If it is so easy to knock down the Tianzhai Village, what do you have to do with Li Buqi? It can't be that he killed the good and risked it, right? ”

"I don't believe it either, and I ask the person who sent the letter repeatedly. He swore that Li would not give up and lead people from the back mountain beams, first set fire to it with stone cannons, and then led people to rush into the stockade. Then some bandits tried to escape from the clash in front of the mountain, and were shot back by a burst of arrows by the Zhenwu army, so the people in the stockade were captured, and only the bandit leader took advantage of the chaos to go down the cliff and disappeared. ”

"Is it really a stone cannon? This, how is this possible? Didn't you say that the one man who drilled the Tianzhai should be closed? It's not that the method of fire attack has not been used before, and it has never hurt the thief in the slightest, why did Li Buqi capture it as soon as he came? How many officers and soldiers were killed or wounded? ”

"One died, and it was He Dujian's men. There were more than 30 wounds, but except for one arrow wound and one knife wound, the rest were burns or broken feet, and they were all minor injuries. ”

Jin Zhifu didn't believe it at first, but when he saw the sympathetic expression of his master, he began to have a headache. He accused Li Buqi of cowering and must have arrived in the capital at this time, and suddenly sent another recital, saying that the thief's lair was captured by Li Buqi, and there were no casualties, so what's going on? Isn't that a slap in the face!

After calming down his mind, Jin Zhifu's brain spun quickly, and he immediately found a breakthrough, and decided to use the Dafa of picking bones in eggs and the Dafa of deductive knowledge and chasing after the wind and shadows. Hum! You Li don't give up, think you'll be fine if you capture the cottage? As long as you do things, you can't be perfect, there are always faults to pick on!

"Huh? How did the bandit leader go? They are nearly 2,000 people surrounding the thieves, how can they let the bandit leader escape? ”

The master's face was drawn into a bun - two thousand people were on paper, and only the Zhenwu Army was fully composed of the few commanders who entered the mountain, and it would be good if the other commanders could have sixty percent of the number. But he can't answer this way about this, otherwise it will be bad rules, fortunately, He Dujian has already given a reason, and he hurriedly replied: "When the Zhenwu army attacked the Drill Heaven Village, it was already twilight, and then the battle was until dark to capture the entire village. The bandit leader went down the mountain from a place that had been prepared a long time ago, and it was not easy to search for it when it was dark, so he let them escape. ”

Jin Zhifu stroked his beard and half-squinted his eyes with a far-sighted look: "Isn't it strange that you say? Since Li Buqi was able to break the stockade so quickly and effortlessly, why couldn't he break the stockade an hour earlier? In the dark night, the thief easily escapes, and he will not be unaware. What's so strange about this, you say? ”

Although the master has followed the Jin Governor's Mansion for several years, he was also frightened by the Jin Governor's bottomless line. But Jin Zhifu was the proprietor, so he had no choice but to say: "This, there should be something strange about this." ”

"Oh, sure enough, you can see that something is wrong. Since Li Buqi had such a means to break the stockade in one day, why didn't he use it earlier, he had to delay it for so long, and he had to take the stockade before it was dark and let the bandit leader escape, this is the strange place. No matter how you look at it, it seems that Li Buqi has colluded with the bandit leader, and when he agreed to attack the mountain, the bandit leader let Li Buqi take the village and give him a credit, and Li Buqi only caught the little minions and let go of the bandit leader. Do you think it? ”

The master grew his mouth but couldn't make a sound anymore, and he was already desperate for officialdom in his heart: It's so dark!

Jin Zhifu regained his composure, smiled and patted the Too young, too simple master on the shoulder: "You can see through Li Buqi's treacherous scheme, and you can be regarded as having some insight, but it was good to keep you by your side at the beginning." ”

The master scolded in his heart: "What's the matter, you want to harm people but let me take the blame, are you human?" ”

Jin Zhifu didn't care about the master's feelings at all, and ordered in a good mood: "Order He Tao to calm the cottage and escort the captured thieves to the county seat, and the official must personally inspect them." ”

When the order reached Drill Tianzhai, He Dujian hurriedly came to Li Buqi. Now these military leaders are like offering to their ancestors for Li Buqi, not only because Li Buqi has the ability to take down the Diamond Tianzhai without dying, but more importantly, let Li Buqi cover them up.

Originally, the Zhenwu Army rushed into the Drill Heaven Village with iron-clad sword and axe men and spearmen as the vanguard, and immediately lost the courage to resist the bandits who had always been brave and brave in the terrain, plus most of the most ferocious minions were lost in the counterattack commanded by Hao Daworm just now, and the remaining old and weak miscellaneous fish threw their knives and guns and surrendered nine times out of ten, so only one unlucky person in the whole process of the Zhenwu Army shot a strong bow in the shoulder, or slightly injured.

However, unlike Zhenwu Junqiu, who did not commit any crimes, He Dujian's subordinates who came up from the mountain from the front of the mountain caused an internal strife in order to grab the thieves' property, and even drew their swords against each other, resulting in one death and one injury. Moreover, in a hurry to rob the thieves of their belongings, no one searched the stockade carefully, and when they found that there were no bandits, they found a rope hanging down the cliff in the firewood house on the edge of the cliff. This is obviously a way back that has been left for a long time.

Killed people, ran away from the head of the thief, this is all caused by the laxity of the Emperor of He Du, in case Li does not give up and poke out, then He Du Prison will look good. Therefore, He Dujian absolutely had to coax Li Bu to give up.

After conveying the prefect's order to Li Buqi, Li Buqi said: "He Dujian, the Zhenwu army has been attacking for a day, and the people are sleepy and the horses are lacking, so I want to take them back to the city first." Things ...... here."

He Tao immediately agreed: "Don't worry." Leave the matter here to me, leave the two commanders to level the cottage, and let's go back to the city together. ”

It's good to have someone doing odd jobs, and Li Buqi took Zhenwujun back to the camp outside the county town to rest.

Leader Shi, who had been monitoring the Zhenwu army from a distance, hurried back to the village after the Zhenwu army arrived at the county seat: "Li Buqi has returned to the county seat. ”

"Is that really going back?" Ying Niangzi asked.

"There was no delay on the way." Leader Shi said: "It seems that Li Buqi really has no intention of dealing with us. ”

Ying Niangzi turned to Xiucai: "What should I do if I see the eldest brother?" ”

Xiucai looked at Leader Shi: "Shangshan can't go back." If you want to gain a foothold elsewhere, it will definitely alarm the government. There are people like Li Buqi, not to mention that if you want to reproduce the momentum of last year, it is difficult to occupy a suitable place. ”

Seeing that Leader Shi didn't speak and just sighed, Luo Xiucai said: "If Li Buqi really didn't deceive me, it would be better to go to sea incognito to earn a foundation, and then come back to collect the wandering brothers, so that they can live." ”

Leader Shi sighed heavily and did not speak, which was considered a tacit acquiescence. Ying Niangzi frowned for a long time, and finally made a decision: "Then there has to be Brother Lao to meet with Li Buqi again and inquire again." I'll go with you, and if Li doesn't give up, it's good to have a response. ”
