Chapter 24 Seeking the Western Liang
Xiliang Pass is located in a remote place. Although affected by the war, there are still 40,000 tigers firmly guarding Xiliang Pass.
With these 40,000 people here, Fu Bo is still the chief general of Xiliang Pass. Although Xiliang Hou brought 20,000 people, it is still not enough to see.
If you want to fully control Xiliang Pass, you must control the 40,000 Tiger Ben army, so Qin Hao plans to let Fu Bo hand over the military power.
"This move is very important. The young marquis may be difficult for some soldiers to convince. The general ordered me to save it for the time being. When I appease the soldiers, it will not be too late for the young marquis to take over!"
"Don't my uncle want to hand over it?"
Qin Hao knew that Fu Bo would not hand over easily, and he did not expect it, but Fu Bo's delayed refusal still made him a little dissatisfied, so the tone of questioning was a bit unkind.
"The little marquis misunderstood. You are the guardian of Xiliang Pass. How could Fu Bo resist the order and refuse to obey? It's just that these soldiers are violent people. If you don't persuade you to take over, they may not agree. If a rebellion occurs, it will be difficult to end!"
Fu Bo persuaded him slowly, but Qin Hao became more and more dissatisfied, "Is Uncle threatening me?"
"How could it be? If the Marquis believes in his uncle, then in one month, no, half a month, my uncle will train you and hand over these 40,000 tiger bells to your hands. What do you think?" Fu Bo said with a smile, but there was no trace of cold light in his eyes.
Qin Hao's eyes flashed, and he wanted to say something else. Pang Yu, a middle-aged Confucian scholar next to him, suddenly answered, "Okay, I hope the general keeps his promise at that time!"
"Uncle Pang!"
Pang Yu shook his head and signaled Qin Hao not to say much.
"Let's go!"
Pang Yu took Qin Hao away quickly, and then his tense face relaxed after leaving the mansion.
"What's wrong with Uncle Pang!"
"Fu Bo has a murderous intent!"
"What, how dare he?" Qin Hao said incredible.
"Why don't you dare? This is Xiliang Pass, his territory!"
"But……"
Qin Hao wanted to continue speaking, but was stopped by Pang Yu and then taught in a good voice, "Haoer, I know what you want to say, it's nothing more than saying that you are the Marquis of Xiliang, the second-rank marquis enthroned by the court. Fu Bo dared not touch you, but did you forget where this is?"
Pang Yu continued with a solemn expression, "Xiliang Pass, a place beyond the reach of the Qin Emperor. If you are killed here, even if you are carrying the blood of the royal family, Qin Pass will at most denounce Fu Bo and will not attack him. Because the 40,000 tigers in Xiliang Pass are in his hands, he controls the lifeline of Xiliang Pass. Once he surrenders to the enemy, the iron cavalry of the Desert King will drive straight down. At that time, the creature Tu Tai, you will be a sinner forever."
"Unless Emperor Qin vacated his troops to wipe out him with the power of thunder, he would definitely adopt a policy of appeasement! Now that the empire has just been settled, Emperor Qin will definitely not offend Fu Bo for your death. Fu Bo had murderous intent just now, so I responded for you!"
"In addition, General Qin Liang, the presided general, disappeared for no reason, and it is hard to guarantee that it was not Fu Bo's move. If it was really what he did, then you may be the next person who comes into the footsteps, so don't have to conflict with this person head-on unless it is absolutely necessary!"
Listening to Pang Yu's analysis, Qin Hao was frightened and did not expect that he had just walked in front of the gate of hell.
"Thank you, Uncle Pang!"
Qin Hao secretly thanked that he brought Pang Yu to him, otherwise the consequences would be difficult to end if he argued with Fu Bo in person.
"What are you and my uncle and nephew? We need to plan this matter carefully. Fu Bo will not easily hand over military power!"
“What should I do?”
Pang Yu seemed to have no clue, and his eyebrows were condensed into the word "chuan" and thought for a while but still couldn't answer.
"How did the Black Cavalry Guard check last time?" Pang Yu asked suddenly.
"There is no clue yet? But their traces have been found!" Qin Hao said seriously.
"It's so good. Accelerate the search and make sure to find out how they entered the Gobi Desert. Once we find out clearly, we can ask the Qin Emperor to send troops with such credit. Although the country needs stability, the Qin Emperor can still draw out the army of 30,000 to 50,000 troops. At that time, the army can enter Xiliang Pass openly under the name of the Black Cavalry invasion. By then, the Xiliang Pass is not the final decision of Fu Bo!"
"Thank you, Uncle Pang, for your advice, Hao'er personally urged the search!" Qin Hao was very happy and wanted to find out immediately, but Pang Yu told Qin Hao not to worry, because he still had a plan to deal with Fu Bo.
Fu Bo's murderous intent flashed away, and Bai Fan also captured it. He suddenly realized that he seemed to underestimate the general, which made him wonder whether Fu Bo's condition was pretending. If so, to show it to anyone, Qin Hao? Bai Fan silently guessed that Fu Bo's words rang in his ears at this time.
"If you have time at noon, you might as well have a meal together!"
Qin Hao left, Fu Bo was in a good mood and invited Bai Fan to have dinner together. Bai Fan thought for a while but refused because he had something to ask.
"Can you know what happened to the presidency Qin Liang!" Bai Fan asked seriously at the table.
"Oh, how could my nephew be so interested in this matter?" Fu Bo asked unexpectedly.
"Someone mentioned this on the road, so I was curious and wanted to inquire!"
"That's right!" Fu Bo pondered for a while and continued, "This matter is not a secret. If you want to know about it, I will tell you!"
"Thank you, General!"
"Speaking of this, General Qin Liang is the teacher who is in charge of his teacher. My achievements today are all due to the support and cultivation of his teacher! The teacher is open-minded and broad-minded. He never has the airs to treat soldiers. He often leads by example when fighting. He is a rare general. Alas, it's a pity that fate is a messenger. His teacher was attacked by evil people, and he has no idea about his life and death, and he still has no trace!"
With a sigh, Fu Bo choked and could see that the two of them were indeed in a deep relationship with their master and apprentice.
"Who was the sneak attack that caused the general to disappear!" Bai Fan asked in confusion by grasping the key.
"The desert lone wolf is a knife!"
"What, it's him!" Bai Fan said in surprise.
"Oh, my dear nephew knows this person!" Fu Bo said in surprise.
"Don't you recognize me?" Bai Fan shook his head and said, only hearing about this person, the most powerful bandit leader in the Xiliang Desert.
"Well, this person is famous, no wonder my nephew has heard of it!"
Fu Bo pondered for a while and continued, "Hu Yidao did many evil deeds. The wanted criminal of the court was captured by his mentor when he fled to Xiliang Pass and almost killed this person, but he still escaped and disappeared from now on. When he appeared again, his cultivation level increased greatly, and there were few enemies! Although Hu Yidao was not his mentor's opponent, but at that time his mentor's cultivation had an accident. His cultivation level dropped sharply and was attacked by Hu Yidao. At the critical moment of life and death, his mentor escaped and disappeared from then on. I sent someone to search for it for several years. But I accidentally learned that the base camp of Hu Yidao, the enemy of that year, was destroyed by evil spirits, and he himself disappeared!"
"Everyone can kill such a evil thief, I hope this thief will not escape this disaster!" Fu Bo gritted his teeth and could see that he had an extraordinary hatred for this person.
The story of Qin Liang's disappearance Fu Bo is similar to what Bai Fan knows. The only new clue he got was Hu Yidao. Unfortunately, Hu Yidao is dead, so the truth behind it is difficult to find out. What made Bai Fan puzzled was how unexpected Qin Liang's cultivation could happen, and Hu Yidao happened to learn it again. As the commander of the First Army, there must be a guard with great cultivation. With their protection, how could Hu Yidao easily succeed? The strangeness in it is really inquire about it.
Bai Fan wanted to prove his confusion, but he opened his mouth when he saw Fu Bo recalling and regretting his regretful expression.
"Do you want to tell him about Hu Yidao's death!"
Bai Fan hesitated, but in the end he did not hide it. Hearing such unexpected joy, Fu Bo burst into tears, "The sky has eyes, and he is unhappy in retribution. The evil thief is finally killed. But where are you, mentor? I feel ashamed of my disciple!"
Fu Bo's heartache made Bai Fan quite sympathetic. After comforting for a few words, he mentioned the mummy matter. Unfortunately, Fu Bo did not provide him any useful clues.
Still nothing was gained. Before leaving, Bai Fan suddenly remembered the Zuo Taoist mentioned by Lie Ruxin, so he searched for his identity.
Fu Bo didn't understand why Bai Fan was so concerned about this person, but he still informed him of some information he knew.
Zuo Taoist, whose identity is unknown, suddenly appeared in the Lie family three years ago and was affectionately called the second brother by Liehuo Ancestor. His cultivation level is unknown, but according to Fu Bo's estimate, he is at least at the heaven level. He is wrapped in a black robe and his face is hidden under the black robe. Few people have seen the true face. As for the more detailed content, there is no more. He became interested in Zuo Taoist's mystery. Could it be that the evil spirit is this person? Bai Fan intends to investigate it carefully.
Bai Fan left, and a long sigh came from behind, "The sandstorm is coming again!"
The inexplicable sigh made Bai Fan unable to help but look at the sky, "The weather does not look like there are sandstorms, why do you sigh like this?"
Bai Fan was stunned at first, then smiled relievedly, as if he understood something, "The sandstorm is indeed coming!"
In the commander's mansion, Qin Hao stood in front of the window and frowned into the character Sichuan, as if he was worried.
"Haoer, what happened?"
Pang Yu's inquiry came from behind, and Qin Hao turned around and rushed forward to greet him.
"Uncle Pang, something happened?"
"What's going on?" Qin Hao's anxiety made Pang Yu very puzzled.
"All the horses who searched for the Black Cavalry Guards died?"
"What?" Pang Yu, who has always been steady, rarely changed his face.
"What the hell is going on, tell me carefully!"
"Today, the subordinates came to report that the horse sent by the dispatch found the trace of the Black Cavalry Guard. Unexpectedly, they were all killed by the enemy's attack. Not only that, they also died!" Qin Hao said bitterly!
"The Black Cavalry Guard is also dead?" Pang Yu's heart was in a state of great joy, "Who did he take action?"
"That evil spirit!"
"How to determine?"
"Everyone who dies like a mummy!"
"Murder!" Pang Yu narrowed his eyes and said with a serious expression, "It seems that we have ignored this thief before, which is indeed a big problem!"
"Uncle Pang, what should we do next?" Qin Hao asked inquiry and seemed to have no idea at this time. Obviously, the mummy incident scared him very much.
"The evil spirit should not be underestimated. This matter must be discussed for a long time! However, the matter of seizing power is urgent, otherwise it will change later!"
The mummy incident gave Pang Yu a sense of urgency, and he knew that the plan must be implemented immediately.
