The ultimate rebirth of the abandoned woman

Chapter 666 Fighting Liwei Again ([-])

What?Was the firearm of the Pingxi army stolen? !

The three county magistrates, including Changsun Feng, couldn't help looking at each other after hearing Cui Youbo's whisper.

He secretly said in his heart: It is related to the Pingxi army, so it is not a matter of their Shanzhou state, or even a matter of Longyou Dao. Not to mention a few of their small county magistrates, it is Cui Shi, and even Li Hu's mansion. I'm afraid it will be difficult for the general guard to explain!

Shanzhou, the entire northwest, something big is going to happen!
The three of them expected to be right, that night, Uncle Cui ordered his people to rush to the military camp of the Duhu Mansion, as for Cheng Hong, who was in Huangshui Zhechong Mansion, after hearing the news, he immediately rushed over with his soldiers.

It's a pity that those robbers are very weird, they seem to be able to fly, when they came, they came silently, and when they retreated, they were swept by like a gust of wind, leaving no trace of clues.

To be honest, if they hadn't set fire to distract the guards guarding the warehouse, the people outside would not have discovered the stolen firearms so quickly.

"...Uncle, there must be their internal response in the city!"

Holding the horizontal knife, Cheng Hong walked around the warehouse and said with a grim expression.

"Internal response?"

Cui Youbo looked gloomy, he rubbed his forehead, and sighed: "Now is not the time to catch the nephews, but to track down the whereabouts of the robbers as soon as possible, and bring back more firearms!"

While talking, Uncle Cui sighed silently. Cheng Hong felt that his uncle was pitiful when he saw it. Why was the firearms store stolen?

My uncle has been doing very well in Shanzhou, and this year's performance appraisal must be 'upper average', but if the robbers make such a fuss, not to mention rewards and the like, he might lose his job because of it.

Thinking of this, Cheng Hong also sighed silently: Oh, no wonder uncle is anxious, he can't stand this matter on anyone else!

If you can't take it, you have to take it!

In the early morning of the next day, Li Dahu, who got the news, rushed over with hundreds of soldiers, his face full of wind and frost.

"Inspector Cui, what's going on?"

Li Dadu protects Li Qubing, who is about 40 years old. He has a burly body, handsome features, and an imposing manner between his brows.

Regardless of his background, he was from the Li clan, and compared with the current emperor, he could barely be considered a younger brother of the clan.

Of course, Li Qubing and Cui Youbo can also establish some relationship.

When Li Qubing came to the northwest, Cui Youbo visited him as a junior, and he was very respectful and called him 'uncle'.

Li Qubing is also very close to Cui Youbo.

Not intimacy is not enough, Cui's mother-in-law is the eldest princess of Changle who has the most say in the clan, even for the sake of the eldest princess, Li Qubing would not dare to neglect Uncle Cui who offered to show his kindness.

In addition, Cui Youbo is the emperor's confidant. Looking at the world, how can there be anyone who is less than thirty and becomes the governor of the Tao?

But Cui Youbo insisted on breaking this record.

Although Shanzhou is a central state, it is also a very important place, but the emperor gave it to Cui Youbo, which shows his trust in this person!
Li Qubing claimed to be the emperor's younger brother, but his relationship with the emperor was far away. He was able to be the chief guardian of the Governor's Mansion mainly because of his surname and chance.

After the death of the first emperor, the emperor wanted to show face and show favor to the clan, so he selected Li Qubing from a group of dudes and mediocre people.

In terms of ability, Li Qubing is definitely not as good as the previous chief protectors. The emperor chose him, but he was "selecting a general from among the dwarfs"!
Lack of ability and weak relationship, how could Li Qubing not make friends with Cui Youbo, who spoke in front of the emperor? !
On the one hand, they are actively releasing goodwill, on the other hand, they are sincerely making friends. These two relatives, who have turned around so many times, get along very well.

It was also because of Li Qubing's support that Cui Youbo could successfully pull Dong Da down and then push Cheng Hong up!
But this time, Li Qubing was full of anger, and his tone was very displeased, and he reprimanded Cui Youbo: "...Why are you so careless, Cheng Gong is still waiting for firearms!"

What else can Uncle Cui say, although Li Qubing is not his immediate boss, but his rank is placed there, and this matter is related to military and state affairs, no matter how hard everyone scolds him, Uncle Cui can only bow his head and admit his mistake:
"Yes, I was negligent, don't worry, the guard, I will definitely recover the firearms, and there will be no delay—"

Seeing Cui Youbo in such a distressed state, Guo Jizu, who was standing two steps away from him, couldn't be happier.

Although at first hearing that it was not Cui's firearms that were robbed last night, but supplies from Pingxi's army, he was somewhat worried.

But soon, he was pleased by Cui Youbo's bad manners, and he kept comforting himself in his heart: what are you afraid of, last night Dong Da and the others did a very beautiful job without leaving any clues at all.

Even if Cui Youbo wanted to investigate, he had nowhere to start!

Guo Jizu was full of joy, but Cui Youbo felt a bit bitter.

Before he could finish his sentence, Li Qubing interrupted him by raising his hand, "When is this, and you are still saying these official things, let me ask you, do you have any clues?"

Chasing, it must be chased back, the key is how to chase?
Without clues, it's useless to promise to say it firmly.

Guo Jizu on the side continued to be secretly happy, and said in his heart: Hmph, do you still want to find clues?It's really as if I, Mr. Guo, have stayed in Huangshui for more than ten years.

Isn't it just quietly bringing in a dozen Turkic horse thieves and sending them out of the county town? Others can't do it, but it's a small case for him.

Cui Youbo's eyes dimmed instantly, and just as he was about to say 'there is no clue', Cheng Hong who was beside him ran over in great surprise, shouting repeatedly: "Uncle, uncle, I found, found, I found a guard, He fought against the robbers last night, and recognized who these people are!"

Cheng Hong ran up to him, wanted to say something more, raised his eyes and saw Li Qubing, stood up quickly, bowed his hands and said, "This subordinate has seen the Chief Protector!"

How could Li Qubing care about such vain courtesy, grabbed Cheng Hong's arm, and asked in a loud voice: "Really? Who are those daring robbers?!"

Cui Youbo also asked eagerly: "Do you know where their lair is?"

Cheng Hong gasped for breath, and gave the answer directly: "Thirty miles to the west of Xizhou, the horse thief in the earth castle!"

"..."

Guo Jizu was dumbfounded, how is this possible.

Those horse thieves last night were all masked, and they didn't fight the guards at all. How could those people recognize them?

Also, Dong Da hid his men and horses in that earthen castle. It was originally a top secret. The big Shanzhou knew no more than one slap in the face. How did the guards know?
Suddenly, Guo Jizu always felt that there was something he had overlooked, and an ominous premonition arose in his heart.

It has to be said that the intuition of an animal like Guo Jizu is quite reliable.

Just when he was in a state of confusion, Li Dadu said, "Okay, what a horse thief, the robbery has come to Shanzhou!"

Slap in the face, this is Chi Guoguo slapping him in the face of Duhufu.

With his soldiers in charge, those horse thieves were able to plunder all the way from the border into Shanzhou, and leave safely after the robbery. What does this mean?
It means that the guards of the Duhu Mansion are unqualified. Fortunately, they were horse thieves last night. If He Lu's main force were replaced, the consequences...he dare not even think about it!

Compared to the anger just now, at this moment, Li Qubing is furious, because this matter is not handled well, and it is very likely that he will be involved.

No, these horse thieves are too arrogant and must be wiped out!

Biting his cheeks fiercely, Li Qubing ordered directly: "Come on, gather the troops and rush to the earth castle!"

Damn, he's going to kill those daring bastards.

Li Qubing was anxious and angry, and his subordinates didn't dare to delay when they saw this, they got busy one after another.

Cui Youbo hurriedly came forward, and said in a loud voice: "The chief guard, the firearms were stolen, it was all due to someone's negligence, now that I know where the thief is hiding, I want to follow the chief guard to suppress the bandits."

Li Qubing was startled, and immediately understood Cui Youbo's meaning, this kid wanted to take the blame and make meritorious service.

Well, this one can have it!
On the one hand, Li Qubing didn't forget the 'relative' relationship between the two, on the other hand, he thought of the reputation of the Cui family's trilogy.

As far as he knew, the hundred or so troops under Cui Youbo's command were all equipped with the best firearms, and their power was comparable to that of a regular army with hundreds or even thousands of people.

Li Qubing wanted to eliminate those horse thieves immediately, but he was not overwhelmed by his anger. He didn't know what kind of bunker, what it looked like, how many horse thieves there were in it, and how powerful these horse thieves were.

To be on the safe side, there is absolutely no harm in bringing more people, let alone someone as tough as Cui Family Buqu.

Li Qubing nodded, he not only agreed to Cui Youbo's request, but also brought Cheng Hong and his soldiers with him.

Seeing this situation, Guo Jizu hurriedly stepped forward, clasped his fists and begged for orders: "Although my subordinates are old, they can bend their bows to kill the enemy. Please allow me to go with you!"

Li Qubing glanced at the gray-bearded Guo Jizu, and recalled this information in his mind: This old guy and Cheng Gong are still in the same robe, a veteran Zhenguan old minister.

Well, this one too!

He nodded and praised: "Guo Biejia is dedicated to serving the country, how can there be no reason for him to fail?!"

In this way, Li Qubing took hundreds of people, plus a group of officials, and headed straight to Xizhou without stopping.

Two days later, Li Qubing and others came to a desert in a hurry. In the yellow sand all over the sky, they vaguely saw the shadow of an earthen castle.

When they arrived at the place, Li Qubing was not in a hurry. He ordered the army to stop, let his subordinates eat on the spot, and at the same time sent out scouts to gather information.

In fact, regarding the situation of the horse thieves in the earth castle, on the way of marching, Li Qubing ordered people to inquire a lot with the local people.

At least he already knew that there were about 400 people in Tubao, and 200 of them were Turks, and the others were rangers, idlers, and soldiers who violated military laws.

These people are very cruel, and they often do some worthless business on the border, but almost none of the caravans passing by can escape their clutches.

Knowing this, Li Qubing became more and more sure that they stole Huangshui's firearms.

He casually chewed a few mouthfuls of dry food, and after listening to the scout's report, Li Qubing looked at the shadowy earth castle, and ordered in a deep voice: "Let's go~~"
