At the beginning of the civil castle, the Ming God of War was a little panicked

In the city of Jahrhun, the commanding envoy's yamen.

Cao Nai, Zhang Yi, Kuang Ye and other bigwigs in the court were all impatient, surrounding Qi Qike like a prisoner being interrogated.

"Where did the emperor go?"

Qiqike was also very helpless: "My lords, don't get angry, I really don't know!"

Cao Nai and Zhang Yi looked at each other and nodded at the same time, as if they had made some kind of decision.

Qiqike suddenly became nervous and said, "I swear, I'm also looking for..."

"If you don't hand over the emperor today, we won't leave!"

"Yes, you have to take care of the food!"

Before Xi Qike could finish speaking, Cao Nai and Zhang Yi suddenly started throwing a tantrum, as if they were going to eat you up.

Seeing this, Kuang Ye then said: "That's right, you have to think clearly, there are hundreds of people in our line, and eating horse chews is not a small amount of money!"

The emperor suddenly left without saying goodbye, and couldn't even catch up.

Everyone rushed over in a hurry, but they were in vain. Now that Xi Qike said he didn't know, who would believe it?
Everyone was sure that it was Xiqike who hid the emperor.

In short, since we are here, we will not leave.

See how long you can last!
Xi Qike earnestly persuaded: "My lords, it's more important to send people out to look for the emperor, I'm looking for it too!"

Cao Nai glanced at her contemptuously, thinking to himself, are you lying to a ghost?
The same is true for Zhang Yi, with an expression of relying on your house.

Kuang Ye went even further, went directly to the ground, and said, "No, no, I can't walk anymore. Let me ask you if you have anything to eat. We old bones are starving to death after driving all day!"

Qi Qike had no choice but to say: "I have ordered people to prepare meals, Mr. Kuang, get up quickly, the ground is cold."

However, no matter how much she persuaded, everyone simply ignored her.

Seeing this, Xi Qike had no choice but to let it go, turned his head and ordered, all the officials in Mobeiwei put down their work and went to look for the emperor!
The grassland is in chaos, officers and soldiers are everywhere, searching almost from house to house.

Cao Nai and the others stayed at Mobeiwei to command the yamen, and they hadn't closed their eyes for several days and nights.

They have now concluded that the emperor is hiding in Mobeiwei, so let's spend it, and see who can consume more energy than whom!

Why isn't Qiqike not anxious in his heart, the emperor did make an appointment to meet him, but he never showed up at the appointed time.

Now that there is no one in the capital, and Mobeiwei is gone, where did the emperor go?

Just don't be surprised...

Thinking of this, she immediately got up, called two followers, and hurried out.

"where are you going?"

Cao Nai immediately jumped up and stopped in front of Xi Xike.

It's just that, with his old arms and legs, he was too excited in a hurry, only felt his legs numb, lost control, and even knelt down.

With sharp eyes and quick hands, Qi Qike took advantage of the situation to support him and said, "I'm going somewhere!"

Cao Nai barely stood still and asked, "Where are you going?"

"Helin Town!"

"Helin Town...what is it?"

Qiqike shook his head and said, "It's a market town fifty miles east of Orkhon City."

Cao Nai's eyes lit up, and he asked, "The emperor is hiding in Helin Town?"

"no!"

Qiqike waved his hand and explained, "I just suspect..."

Cao Nai continued to ask: "What do you suspect?"

In desperation, Qiqike had no choice but to express his inference.

"Three days ago, Helin Town reported that the local herdsmen had defeated a group of horse thieves. I'm going to ask about the situation!"

Cao Nai was puzzled, "What does this have to do with the emperor's whereabouts?"

Qi Qike said seriously: "The emperor did say to come to Mobei, but I have been waiting these days, but there is no movement, could there be... something unexpected?"

Cao Nai was horrified when he heard the words, and said, "Don't be alarmist, isn't the emperor hidden by you?"

Qi Qike hurriedly said: "I really don't, Mr. Cao, you have to believe me!"

Cao Nai squinted at her and said, "I don't believe it!"

"never mind!"

Qiqike shook his head angrily, it's about this time, believe it or not!

"I'm going to interrogate the captured horse thief with Lin Zhen for the first time. You just wait here, and you have enough food and lodging!"

After she finished speaking, she ignored the ministers and left in a hurry with her entourage.

Cao Nai looked at Zhang Yi, Zhang Yi looked at Kuang Ye, and Kuang Ye turned to look at Cao Nai.

The three of them were silent for a while, and Kuang Ye said, "Could it be... the emperor is really not here?"

Zhang Yi frowned and said: "The emperor is leaving the palace in a low suit, and there are not many people around him, so don't really meet horse thieves!"

Cao Nai hurriedly said: "It's not an option to wait here, why not go and have a look together!"

"Cao Gong, please be safe and don't be impatient!"

Zhang Yi stopped him suddenly and said, "Isn't it to divert the tiger away from the mountain?"

The three of them are all old foxes, so they naturally thought of this.

If it is said that the emperor is really hiding in Mobeiwei, it is inconvenient to show up because of the three people guarding here.

As soon as the three of them leave, they can get away immediately, and they won't be found when the time comes!

Cao Nai thought for a long time, and then said: "How about this, I stay with Kuang Shangshu, you go and Lin Zhen!"

This decision was mainly because of the consideration that among the three, only Zhang Yi was physically stronger and could withstand tossing and tossing.

Naturally Zhang Yi understood, he clasped his fists at the two of them, brought some followers, and followed Xi Qike out of the city.

There is a flat river in the desert, and the journey of fifty miles is not too far. It only takes more than an hour to ride a horse and rush.

Poor Zhang Yi's body, when has he suffered such a hardship.

When I finally arrived in Helin Town, I felt that the whole person was about to disperse.

Qiqike asked with concern: "Master Zhang, are you okay?"

Zhang Yi gasped heavily, waved his hands again and again, and said, "I'm fine...it's fine, the business is important!"

Xiqike nodded and led people into the inspection department.

Xu Guangliang was taking a nap, when he learned that the commander was coming, he hurried out to greet him without any clothes or shoes.

Qi Qike cut to the chase and asked, "Did you capture a group of horse thieves three days ago?"

Xu Guangliang hurriedly nodded: "Return to Commander, there is indeed such a thing!"

"After so long, why haven't you sent it to the city?"

"This……"

Xu Guangliang looked hesitant, and said, "The interrogation is not over yet."

Before Yuan Bin left, he specifically told him not to tell anyone that Jin Yiwei came to interrogate the prisoner. Even in front of his own superior, he didn't dare to confide a word, so he could only find a reason to evade it.

Qiqike raised his eyebrows and asked, "It's just a bunch of horse thieves, what's there to interrogate?"

Xu Guangliang rolled his eyes and said, "Master Commander, these horse thieves belong to Chaka!"

Chaka was originally Boyan's commander-in-chief, a "giant bandit" who was offered a reward of 500 taels by the court, whoever catches him now should naturally have a careful trial, is there anything wrong?

After hearing this, Qi Qike nodded and asked, "Did you find out anything?"

Seeing this, Xu Guangliang secretly heaved a sigh of relief. It seems that this reason has passed the test.

"Return to my lord, these horse thieves are very cunning, the lower officials are worried about their reservations, so they interrogated them repeatedly, but... they gained little..."

It means that there is no trial, but I want to go to trial. This statement is reasonable, right?
Qi Qike waved his hand and said, "Bring me here, I have something to ask!"

Xu Guangliang was stunned, and hurriedly said: "Master Commander, you are just a few horse thieves, how can I bother you..."

Qiqike shouted coquettishly: "Go!"

"Yes!"

Xu Guangliang didn't dare to say any more, turned around and gave an order, and after a while, several ragged people were escorted up.

"My lord, that's all, you can ask!"

Xiqike glanced at these people and said they were horse thieves, but they were almost the same as beggars.

She knew the details of these people, all of them were former Oirat nobles, unwilling to accept the rule of Ming Dynasty, and even less willing to let go of their identities and live under the blue sky with the former low-level people.

Fortunately, the life of the original poor people is getting better and better, but these so-called nobles are not as good as beggars, and they can only live by stealing.

In the past, people were a little apprehensive and dared not say anything when they were robbed.

However, as time went by, everyone gradually discovered that these people were nothing.

Don't look at their ferocious appearance, in fact, they are not opponents at all when they go hungry for nine meals in three days and fight with real knives and guns.

Since then, their life has become even more difficult, unless they are too hungry to take it anymore, they usually dare not come out to steal.

The reason is simple, they can't beat the herdsmen!
This time, he organized with the herdsmen in Lin Town, captured Chaka, and slaughtered him like a dog.

The rest of the people died or fled, only the dozen or so people in front of them were left alive.

"Now I ask you some things, you must answer truthfully, understand?"

Qi Qike spoke Mongolian, and Zhang Yi followed behind her. Although he couldn't understand, he could feel the unquestionable majesty in the tone.

It seems that it is a good choice for the emperor to appoint this woman to manage Mobei.

At this time, an old man with gray hair and beard among the captives said, "Are you Xixike, the daughter of Chorosye?"

Qiqike looked at the old man and said, "Yes, I am Qiqike!"

The old man pointed to her nose and said, "You...you have surrendered to the southern court, and you are a traitor to the Mongols!"

The rest of the people immediately became excited when they heard the words, and the scene was noisy.

From Mahamu to Yexian, Wala was very prosperous for a while, and even overshadowed the limelight of the Tatars. Yexian fought fiercely with the Ming court for decades, and finally died on the banks of the Onan River.

The Mongols pay attention to success and defeat. If you lose, you lose. There is nothing to say.

However, when they learned that Yexian's only bloodline, Xiqike had defected to the Ming court and even became an official, it was difficult for them to accept.

Your father is dead, why don't you die?
Now that you are the dog of the Southerners, and you want to lead us in turn, then what are we?
In fact, Zhu Qizhen had two plans to keep Xiqike.

If Xiqike is loyal to her people, she will definitely lead the remaining Wala people to rebuild their homeland and submit to Ming Dynasty from now on.

On the contrary, if she has evil intentions in her heart, she will inevitably organize opponents, plan a riot, and take revenge on the court.

As far as the court is concerned, all the opposing forces can be brought together in one pot, saving one by one.

It was precisely because Xiqike chose the former that it was even more difficult for the former Oirat nobles to accept it.

They once planned some actions in an attempt to regain the rule of Mobei.

Not surprisingly, these actions all ended in failure.

The gap is really too big to win at all.

In such a situation, it would be nice to be able to save one's life, and to rebel, you must be full to have the strength to rebel, right?
Therefore, for many years, these people have fantasized about capturing Orkhon City every day, arresting Qiqike, pointing at her nose and cursing, and then killing and worshiping the warriors who died in battle first!
But in fact, they have never even seen the gate of Orkhon City.

When I saw Qiqike today, I naturally couldn't let go of this opportunity, at least I had to ask clearly, why did you betray Ye first, betray your clansmen?
Qiqike said indifferently: "Who are you?"

"I am Mantujero of the Caryat tribe!"

"The Caryat tribe..."

Xiqike nodded, and said: "If I remember correctly, your tribe has produced many warriors and made many military exploits. My father thinks highly of you all."

Mantu Zheluo showed a proud expression on his face, and said: "The Caryate tribe is all warriors who are one against a hundred. Every time they go to the battlefield, they kill the most enemies, and they are favored by the first grand master!"

"Really, then... where are your people?"

"you……"

Mantu Zheluo's old face was smothered in black and purple, and his eyes almost burst into flames.

Qi Qike said lightly: "I told Chaka once, as long as you sincerely submit to the imperial court, you can forget about the past and the current fate is your own choice!"

Mantu Zheluo clenched his fists, took a step forward, and was suddenly stopped by a person.

"Bold thief, dare to commit murder?"

Xu Guangliang kicked him over and knocked him to the ground.

Mantu Zheluo struggled to stand up, but was stepped on by Xu Guangliang, unable to move.

"I warn you, if you dare to be disrespectful to the Commander, I will chop you up and feed you to the dogs!"

Mantu Zheluo fell on the ground, panting continuously, the anger in his eyes gradually turned into helplessness.

This kick kicked him back to the real world. Today is different from the past, and the former Wala has long since ceased to exist.

Either return to the court of the Shunming people, or die.

Qi Qike, who was regarded as a traitor, had become the commander of the fourth rank of the imperial court, but the bottom-level herdsmen who were once trampled by him were now rich and rich.

Only people like myself have become Japanese pirates, like rats crossing the street, everyone yells and beats them.

Qiqike didn't want to get too entangled with him, so he immediately asked, "Have you seen a young Han man recently? He may be dressed as a merchant or a scholar, and he is accompanied by followers. There will not be many of them."

Since all the people present were Mongols, Qiqike
Zhang Yi couldn't understand the Mongolian language he had been speaking. He only saw a group of horse thieves shaking their heads or waving their hands. Only then did he realize that Qi Qike should be asking them about the emperor's whereabouts.

He couldn't help being horrified, could it be that Xiqike didn't lie, the emperor is really not in the city?
Where did it go...

But don't be surprised!
