Looking at his henchmen receiving the punishment, Qin Ning said: "When Wu Lingyi was sent to Ruffian, I received a secret letter from the military department, which was a warrant from the Prince, which said: Wu Lingyi and Ruffian Tun, as long as they don't commit treason, they don't need to ask!"

"This ......" The officer wondered, where is this Wu Lingyi sacred?

Qin Ning saw the doubts of his henchmen and said, "You don't care who he is, just do what you are told, they are not something we can ask!"

"Yes!"

The officer changed his words and asked, "General, since Wu Lingyi did not collaborate with the enemy, it means that Zhao Siqi escaped from the battle and framed loyal ministers, why didn't you punish him?"

"He's just a clown!" Qin Ning seemed to know Zhao Siqi's identity!

The officer continued, "What is his origin?"

Qin Ning replied disdainfully: "He's just a lackey of the Supervision Envoy, it doesn't matter!"

"Inspector?" The officer was stimulated too much today, and this not only involved the prince, but also the inspector!

"That's right, he was the one who was picked up by the Overseer!" Qin Ning replied.

Only then did the officer suddenly understand: "This is a fight between two kings, and we little ghosts are angry and involved in their fight in vain!"

"Who told you to not see the situation clearly!" Qin Ning smiled slightly.

"What does the general mean is that Zhao Siqi found you before and cried, and your sympathy, anger, and anger were all pretentious?"

Qin Ning continued to smile and said: "Since Zhao Siqi likes acting, I will naturally accompany him to play a good show, anyway, there is no loss!"

"Ah, the general has no losses, but I have to get those thirty sticks after suffering!" complained the officer.

Qin Ning smiled and said solemnly: "We are soldiers, don't get involved in the whirlpool of power in the future, how many generals have been involved in the struggle for power and power in ancient times, and how many of them have a good end?

"Yes, I see!" The officer also understood this, and this time it was also a very good experience, at least it was only thirty sticks, not to the point of being executed!

The officer asked again: "Why does the prince tolerate the envoy to make trouble in the military camp of Bingzhou? Since this Zhao Siqi is a lackey, why don't you get rid of him?"

Qin Ning said disdainfully: "He's just a clown, there's no need to be too scrupulous, even if one is eradicated, there will be a second, it's better to control this one well, and when the time comes, the prince will uproot it!"

"Oh, do we need to do something?" asked the officer again.

Qin Ning shook his head and replied, "It's business as usual, don't be too deliberate!"

"Yes!"

"That's right!" Qin Ning seemed to think of something, and explained: "This old turtle slope is a key point, and now that Zhao Siqi is stationed again, I don't trust him, I can't tell him to be a deserter next time." Fortunately, there are still Wu Lingyi and Ruffian Tun here, but their troops are too small, as long as they find that the beacon fire of Lao Guipo is lit in the future, they will fully support this side, since Wu Lingyi and others can't solve it, it must be a strong enemy, so you should pay more attention to this side!"

"Yes!"

"Also, if you have any needs, you will give priority to meeting them!"

"Yes!"

Qin Ning led the support troops and withdrew to the Gupanshan camp, and then he personally reported the situation in Laoguipo to the military headquarters.

In this battle, Lingyi and they received a total of more than 20,000 gold, and in order to reward them, the military department also gave each of them a set of light armor, which looked very majestic.

The only regret is that with such a big military achievement, Ling Yi and their military rank have not been advanced, perhaps because the military department considers that their military age is too short and they are not suitable for promotion too quickly!

Ever since Ruffian Tun had successfully defeated the invading enemy army, Zhao Siqi had not dared to provoke Ling Yi and them, and he had now not expected much from the task assigned to him by the Inspector.

Whether it is military merit or force, Ling Yi and others are pressing him, secretly he can't make a trick, he is not an opponent, in order to keep the relationship between the inspectors, he can only continue to give gifts to the inspectors.

This is also the means he learned from the general of the Northern Wilderness, since others can accumulate a lot of wealth by deducting military salaries and the normal expenses of the troops, then they can also follow suit, Dongsheng's military expenses here are much higher than those in the Northern Wilderness, as long as they operate skillfully, there is money, as long as they are filial piety to the inspectors, and then change an errand of oil and water, then they can definitely soar!

These methods were all made up by Zhao Siqi behind his back, Lingyi They are independent military expenditures, he does not dare to move a penny, so Lingyi They did not find anything abnormal.

After a month of peace and quiet, at the beginning of March, a military order came to Laoguipo.

Looking at this order, Zhao Siqi's heart was spinning, and he just asked Lao Guipo's army to rush to the Qingliang Hills on the border with Youzhou within one day to block a Northern Wilderness cavalry that was about to abscond from Youzhou!

Zhao Siqi, who had just experienced this battle, didn't have the courage to face the Northern Wilderness cavalry again, but the military order had been issued, and if he didn't go, he would be sentenced to disobey the military order, and there would be no good fruit to eat!

After thinking about it, Zhao Siqi thought of Lingyi's ruffian, such a dangerous thing should be done for these ruffians who don't respect themselves.

can be completed, this is the military order he received, it is the military exploits of Lao Guipo, it doesn't matter if he fails, as long as he can kill the ruffian, even if he is held accountable, at most he is just ineffective in the battle, he is borrowing a knife to kill, no matter what the result is, he is the winner!

With a weird smile and a brisk pace, for the sake of his own conspiracy, Zhao Siqi is ready to convey the task in person!

Coming to the tent outside the ruffian's camp, this is the second time he has been here, he didn't observe the situation here well last time, this time he finally took a good look!

The camp tent is the same camp tent, the only difference is that there is an additional blacksmith shop here, and you can see a lot of metal and finished weapons stacked from the outside, the most surprising thing for him is that the quality of the weapons here is very good, and it can be worth a lot of money outside, besides, he also found that there are a lot of mortal-level weapons in the pile of finished weapons, you know, even he only has a mortal-level weapon, but he didn't expect that there are so many good things piled up here in Ruffian.

"What are you doing here?"

Just as Zhao Siqi was watching dumbly, a voice sounded behind him, a voice that made his feet tremble.

"I, I, I'm looking for Captain Wudu!" Zhao Siqi turned around and hurriedly explained to Sun Ze!

"Looking for Lingyi, what are you doing? Sneaky, take care of you!" Sun Ze has been looking at this captain unpleasantly!

"Yes, there is a military order to convey!" Zhao Siqi hurriedly explained, trying to avoid a head-on conversation with Sun Ze!

Sun Ze stared at Zhao Siqi and shouted, "Lingyi is being found!"

Sun Ze shouted Ling Yi, but he was still staring at Zhao Siqi's every move, as if he was staring at a thief.

Zhao Siqi could only stand in the open space awkwardly, not daring to move, nor daring to speak!

After a long while, Zhao Siqi saw Ling Yi come out of the tent rubbing his sleepy eyes!

"Yo, isn't this the dignified Captain Zhao? What are you doing?" Ling Yi thought it was someone looking for him, but he didn't expect it to be this "looking for death"!

Zhao Siqi didn't say hello, and directly announced the task, of course, it was originally his task, but he cleverly threw it to Ling Yi: "Captain Wudu, the military department ordered, you will go to the Qingliang Hills to block a cavalry of the Northern Wilderness, and you must arrive within a day!"

Ling Yi asked strangely, "Is there a mission?" Why didn't Captain Zhao go to carry out the order?"

"It may be that the military department sees that the ruffian is strong, so they sent the lieutenant to go! I still have something to do, so I will leave first!" Zhao Siqi didn't dare to stay, otherwise he would be seen by Ling Yi after a while!

Looking at Zhao Siqi, who was walking away quickly, Ling Yi said, "Isn't Captain Zhao going to sit down for a while, so in a hurry?"

didn't dare to stay at all, Zhao Siqi didn't respond, just walked back, didn't look back, didn't answer!

Looking at Zhao Siqi's appearance, Sun Ze said: "There must be something greasy here, should we go?"

Ling Yi said indifferently: "Go, of course we have to go, otherwise he will sue us for disobeying the military order, I think this task is his own, he just wants to take the hands of the Northern Wilderness cavalry to clean us up!"

"Okay, I'll gather my brothers and get ready to go!" Sun Ze began to gather the brothers of the ruffian!

Ready to go, the ruffian soldiers rode the horses they had collected last time and came to the city defense wall.

Out of the city defense wall, the brothers of the ruffian Tun galloped towards the bottom of the mountain at full speed, and now the grassland under the old turtle slope has begun to regreen, sweeping away the barrenness and ice and snow of winter, there is a trace of life here.

In the vast grassland, there are a lot of animals, especially wild horses, antelopes, yaks, and jackals, these animals are afraid of humans, and they have long since dispersed when they hear the sound of cavalry charging on the mountain.

Although it is already spring, the forage is not abundant enough, and the nomadic herdsmen in the Northern Wilderness have not yet migrated back!

Go down to the grassland, all the way to the east, along the edge of the grassland, this road is not short, a distance of about fifty miles, and then you have to investigate the terrain of the hills, and deploy blocking positions, so the day is still a bit rushed, especially at night, which is not conducive to the deployment of the march. Therefore, before tonight, we must rush to the Qingliang Hills, rest for one night, and deploy defenses early tomorrow morning, according to the intelligence, tomorrow night is the time for the Northern Wilderness cavalry to sneak across the border!

"The border of Youzhou, because it is mostly hilly, so there are soldiers patrolling on both sides, and we must be more careful when we enter the hilly area!" Zhang Cheng, as a veteran stationed at the border all the year round, naturally knows the situation here.

After Ling Yi heard this, he nodded and understood, he had seen the map of the border of Youzhou before, and he also had a certain understanding of the terrain here!

After thinking for a while, Ling Yi asked, "Why did we come to stop the enemy's soldiers and horses?"

Zhao Cheng shook his head and sighed, and said: "Youzhou is difficult to garrison due to the complex terrain, and their government and army are weak, and there are a lot of bandits themselves.

Ling Yi frowned and said, "In this way, Youzhou's military strength is really not strong, but how can it be so weak in a border state capital?"

Zhang Cheng replied: "The situation in Youzhou is too complicated, and I can't understand it for a while, and I don't know it very well, but there is a saying among the people: When you go to Youzhou, you will respect the eighteen horsemen, enter Youzhou, avoid the Ma family, and establish Youzhou, and avoid the bandits!"
