Chapter 190 A secret letter (5,000 words, please subscribe)

Who is cursing me... Qi Ping shuddered, suppressed the urge to sneeze, and became a little nervous.

The war horse under his crotch rises and falls regularly.

Well, the war horses produced in the grassland are always of good quality, and the terrain is flat, so they are extremely fast.

"In my previous life, this would have been equivalent to driving a supercar to blow up the streets at night... No, supercars are nothing, but this is a 'military vehicle'..."

Qi Ping uses complaints to relieve anxiety.

The night is quiet and the sky is cloudless.

The ancient Milky Way flows slowly, and the stars shine coldly.

A big moon outlines the mountains ahead into undulating lines.

Qi Ping was completely confused about the terrain here and could only run based on his feeling.

Anyway, the northwest corridor is so long. Unless you are very unlucky, you can cross the border by meeting a few barbarian teams at most.

Then, as long as he runs like crazy, he will be able to join the Guan army in a few hours.

"Well, there shouldn't be any problem with the soldiers guarding the pass, right? No, Xiahou Yuanqing has no reason to extend his tentacles to the entire army, and the problematic Li Lang has already left...

Besides, at this rate, by the time I get back, it will be daybreak. I’m afraid the battle in the city will be over. Who will win?

It should be Lao Li. He really can't beat him. There are also other generals of the Northwest Army. Unless those people rebel collectively, they won't dare to waver on major issues of right and wrong. That would be courting death..."

Qi Ping thought, he was not worried about the overall situation, he was just worried that something might happen to his colleagues.

At this time, he rode up a hillside and saw a camp in the distance.

The other party shouted something loudly. Originally there were only people on guard duty, but suddenly there were more people and began to patrol both sides.

"What's going on? It's late at night and something happened in Lincheng. It has nothing to do with you. Why are there suddenly more patrols... It can't be because of me."

Qi Ping's heart skipped a beat.

In his last glance before his death, he could not see his enemy clearly, but the wooden staff... this kind of "magic weapon" was rarely used by imperial monks.

On the contrary, it is the iconic weapon of the wizard series.

He highly suspected that it was a barbarian master colluded with Xiahou Yuanqing.

After thinking for a moment, Qi Ping dismounted and walked toward the camp like a ghost.

He knew that some of the barbarians stationed at the border could speak the Central Plains dialect. After all, there were caravans passing by all day long and they had to deal with them.

The patrol set off and the camp was weakly defended, giving him a chance to test it out.

Moreover, there will be no experts in charge of such a small camp.

Practitioners are scarce resources for both the Liang Kingdom and the Golden Court. They will only go to the battlefield in person when a war breaks out, and usually only stay in the "command headquarters".

After moving around a few times, Qi Ping successfully got into a tent, said "sealing" with his backhand, blocking the sound, and then faced the frightened look in the barbarian officer's eyes and stepped forward with a smile.

After a while, several barbarian soldiers returned and stood outside the tent to report on the inspection. They shouted several times but received no answer, and they immediately felt uneasy.

One person boldly stretched out his hand to open the curtain and shouted loudly.

Inside the tent, the smell of blood filled the air. The barbarian officer was leaning against the low table, with a cut wound on his neck. The sword on his waist disappeared without a trace. There were traces of being rummaged through the tent, and the blood was slightly cold.

…

Away from the camp, he wrapped himself in a fur coat, put on a fur hat, and with a scimitar at his waist, he got on his horse, slapped the horse's buttocks, and ran towards the west.

His face was very ugly.

Through interrogation, he already learned that a great wizard returned, issued a blockade order, and ordered the arrest of a young man from Liang Kingdom...

"The great wizard...supernatural power...should be the one who killed me."

Qi Ping felt heavy in his heart and decisively gave up his original plan. The wizard would most likely be guarding the northwest corridor, waiting for him to fall into a trap. In this case, he could only give up.

"What should we do next? If there is a blockade, it is not possible to follow the caravan back...the risk is too great. If it is not possible, we can only take a risky detour."

Qi Ping's eyes were firm:

"The Northwest Corridor is only the largest route, but it is not the only one.

There are many small roads on the long border between the two countries. Well, although I don't know the map, I can forcefully cross the mountains. This is too difficult for ordinary people, but with my physical strength, it is not a big problem."

He made up his mind, drew his horse together, and prepared to run south and bypass the northwest corridor. However, at this moment, he suddenly felt a warning sign and looked up at the sky.

Under the bright stars, he saw an eagle hovering above his head, hanging like that, as if staring at him.

"Ouch~"

In the distance, on the hillside shrouded in starlight, wolves gathered. They looked at him with green eyes, raised their heads, and let out distant wolf howls... as if they were calling for something.

…

…

In Lincheng, the commander-in-chief was Si Yamen.

The battle was over, the thunderclouds in the sky dispersed, and the surviving officials and soldiers crawled out tremblingly.

There are also a large number of military generals who are outside and are belatedly arriving.

Start cleaning up the mess.

Even though he is a member of the military, he can be on the scene and experience the battle at the top level of magical power, and his performance is not much better than that of ordinary people.

Especially when people came to the center of the building, the courtyard was destroyed and almost razed to the ground.

Seeing Xiahou Yuanqing's bloody body in the pit, many people turned pale and almost lost control.

The top generals of the Northwest Army and their commanders were all executed by the governor Efutu God... Faced with this result, no one could remain calm.

"Master Cui is here! Still alive!"

Someone shouted out as they held torches and used iron bars to pry open collapsed buildings and search for survivors.

Then, he propped open a heavy wall, smashed it with a hammer, and pulled out the miserable and shackled Lord Tongzhi underneath.

Cui Xiuguang is not dead. After all, he is a well-educated general. Although he is banned by the magic weapon, his vitality is far beyond ordinary people. When he crawled out, everyone was stunned when he saw the scene in front of him:

"Where is Xiahou Yuanqing?"

Next to him, an officer came over with a complicated expression: "In the pit."

"..." Cui Xiuguang was silent for a moment and then asked: "Where is Governor Li?"

"It seems that he was chasing someone, but I didn't see clearly." someone answered.

The atmosphere was a bit weird. During this catastrophic situation, Master Tongzhi, who was a second-grade person, became the backbone of everyone, but he was still in shackles...

Fortunately, the stiff atmosphere did not last long.

Then he saw the illusory god general flying in mid-air, Li Qi, who was pale but still holding on to his majesty, and Yu Qing, whose internal organs were injured and whose breath was weak, landed.

"grown ups!"

The military generals, civil servants, and a large number of soldiers in the courtyard all bowed to him and kept silent for fear of offending this man and being treated as an accomplice and killed.

Li Qi was in a very bad mood. He glanced at him coldly and said in a deep voice:

"The commander of the capital, Xiahou Yuanqing, has colluded with the barbarians. He has committed serious crimes and has been executed. I temporarily take over the position of commander-in-chief of the Northwest Army. With the assistance of Cui Xiuguang, the commander of the capital, I will investigate the rebels under Xiahou's command! If there is any disobedience, he will be executed!"

Cui Xiuguang's eyes lit up and he said:

"As you command!"

Seeing this, the others dared not refuse and hurriedly responded.

Soon after regaining his freedom, Cui Xiuguang's eyes turned red when he learned that he had been slandered by Xia Hou. Without Li Qi's prompting, he issued an order and made arrangements familiarly.

Li Qi had limited knowledge of the military. In order to prevent the morale of the military from being turbulent, although he took over in name, he had to find senior generals in the Northwest Army to do the actual operations.

Cui Xiuguang, who was framed, is obviously the most suitable and trustworthy choice.

At this time, a team of Jinyi returned from outside the hospital with solemn expressions:

"Sir, Zheng Huai'en's son and some accounts have been brought here."

Li Qi was overjoyed and felt at peace after receiving the evidence. Although it was a serious crime for Xiahou Yuanqing to attack him, if there was a lack of evidence, there would be some trouble later, and impeachment and questioning in court would be inevitable.

It's much better to have this.

He comforted the silent Zheng Yun again and ordered someone to take him down and take good care of him.

Only then did I realize that everyone in Jinyi was in a wrong mood, and it seemed that one person was missing.

"Where is Qi Ping? He didn't come back with you?" Li Qi asked.

Yu Qing also looked over with a frown.

The captains in Jinyi were silent. Among the crowd, Hong Jiaojiao lowered her head, making her expression unclear.

Pei Shaoqing bit his lip, raised his head and said, "He...is missing."

"Missing?" Li Qi was shocked and wanted to ask the whole story, but held back:
To be continued...
