"Hello brothers, they're all here!"

"Seven Qiao, eight birds!"

"Lose, lose, drink, drink!" Under Gu Xiaojiu's intentional instigation, the soldiers who were on vigil began to draw a wine order and drank wine, Gu Xiaojiu held the wine bowl and gave Duan Wenrui a look with low eyebrows. Duan Wenrui understood, and scattered with a few brothers in the name of Xiao Jie, and sneaked into the tent where the gunpowder was placed while the soldiers who were drinking were not paying attention.

It should be said that their operation was quite smooth, because they won the battle in Beixiang, and the leader of Nanxiang surrendered without a fight, so the garrison of arms was much lax, and the soldiers waited for tomorrow to accept Yu Sanli's surrender and then go home.

"How's it going?" Seeing Duan Wenrui turn back, Xiao Jiu's flushed face showed a little nervousness.

Duan Wenrui didn't make a sound, but made a proper gesture, Gu Xiaojiu understood, and continued to shout loudly with the wine bowl, "Brothers, bring the wine bowl up!"

"Thank you, Brother Xiaojiu!" said a hundred households who led the team with a big tongue in a wine bowl: "If it weren't for Brother Xiaojiu bringing us wine and food, Lao Tzu would have to wait for dawn hungry!"

"Brother is too polite! You are guarding the military quartermaster, where can you see my mosquito meat!" Gu Xiaojiu hugged the shoulders of the hundred households, and the two brothers said well: "Brother, although I came on the orders of my superiors, but my heart to work hard for the soldiers is real, our friendship does not need to be talked about, I will do this bowl first!"

"Okay! Little Nine Brothers are refreshing!"

After this persuasion, the soldiers were a little dizzy. Seeing that the time was almost up, Gu Xiaojiu made a gesture to Duan Wenrui, said goodbye to the soldiers drunkenly, and prepared to rush to Beixiang with the stolen gunpowder.

The well-fed soldiers had long regarded Gu Xiaojiu as their own, and they didn't care how he came and went, so they lifted the straw and looked at it, and waved their hands to let him go.

Gu Xiaojiu and Duan Wenrui glanced at each other and sighed secretly.

As soon as the cart left the camp, it was bumped into a group of soldiers on night patrol.

"What are you guys doing?" said the leader with a bad face.

"This military master, we came to deliver quilts and food to the officers and soldiers of the quartermaster according to the orders of the inspector Zhou. Gu Xiaojiu said with the smell of wine in his mouth.

"Really, what's in the car?"

"Master Jun, the car is empty, where is there something!" Saying that, Gu Xiaojiu said loudly to a few coachmen: "Everyone lift the grass and let the master check it!"

Duan Wenrui coughed lightly, and several coachmen reluctantly lifted the straw.

As Gu Xiaojiu said, the first few cars were empty, but when it came to the last car, the coachman refused to lift the straw.

"What's going on over there?" Xiao Qi walked to the last car with a torch, and looked at Gu Xiaojiu suspiciously, Gu Xiaojiu was shocked in his heart, and still said with a smile on his lips: "Master Jun, you don't have to look at this, right?"

"Don't come to this set!" Xiao Qi is a hard character, he doesn't accept his gift at all, he held a torch around the cart, looked at Gu Xiaojiu with a cruel gaze, and said, "Tell me, what's in here?"

"Master Jun, it's really nothing! We were ordered to deliver food, and it is normal for people to deduct a little. Gu Xiaojiu said with a bitter face.

"Hmph!" The man thought he had caught Gu Xiaojiu's handle, and he didn't give him face at all, "You said that you are eating and eating? Who knows what you are doing without sleeping in the middle of the night!"

"I have a pass token!" Seeing that the other party was not soft, Gu Xiaojiu took out the token from his belt and shouted: "I am acting on orders, which Rong Er and others are bullying!"

"Even if you are acting on orders, what does it mean that you refuse to open the grass on this car for me to check?" Xiao Qi looked at the token and sneered: "Don't you have a ghost in your heart?"

"You!" Gu Xiaojiu was so angry that he blushed and his neck was thick, but he didn't want Xiaoqi to really lift the grass, and he was in a dilemma, Duan Wenrui in the back pulled his sleeve and gave him an affirmative look. Gu Xiaojiu's heart was settled, and he looked at Xiao Qi mockingly and said, "What do you say if the grass is really eaten under the quilt?"

"If there is no contraband, Lao Tzu will kowtow to you to make amends!"

"Okay!" Gu Xiaojiu broke off and proudly opened the straw, under the reflection of the firelight, the items under the straw came into the eyes of the onlookers without concealment, but saw that the open carriage was crowded with quilts, wine jars, and smoked chicken and ham wrapped in oiled paper.

Although the thing was already cold, the slightest smell of flesh still penetrated the nostrils of the night patrol soldiers through the cracks in the oiled paper packets. "Grunt", I don't know whose stomach is calling, listen carefully, and there are a lot of sounds of swallowing saliva.

"How is it?, do you see it clearly?" Gu Xiaojiu's worry immediately turned into pride, he looked at Xiaoqi and said triumphantly: "This benevolent brother, what did you say just now? Ninth Master, I can wait for you to apologize!"

"This ......" Xiaoqi's face was blue and white for a while, he was unwilling to admit defeat, pointed to the food in the car and said: "You use public fat and private property to withhold property, I will report to your superiors and punish you for corruption!"

"If you lose, you will cheat, what kind of virtue?" Gu Xiaojiu pursed his lips and said disdainfully: "If you want to sue, go and sue, if I frown, I will be your uncle!"

"You!" Xiao Qi was so angry that he almost burst his veins, he dropped the torch, rushed to Gu Xiaojiu quickly, grabbed his shirt and was about to start fighting.

"Two, you have something to say, you have something to say. Duan Wenrui saw that the commotion was almost over, so he gave the coachman on the side a look, and the coachman understood, and hurriedly jumped out to be a peacemaker. Pull and pull, persuade and persuade, and finally pulled the two people apart.

"Soldiers, there's nothing good in the car, these smoked chickens and rabbits will cushion the stomachs of the soldiers!" pulled Gu Xiaojiu away, and the coachmen took the oiled paper packets on the car for the soldiers on the night patrol to enjoy. Those soldiers who patrol the night have long been hungry, and when they see these foods, where is there any reason to refuse, some of them receive smoked chickens, some of them lead smoked rabbits, and they are carrying things given by others, so they are embarrassed to check again.

Gu Xiaojiu was pulled aside by Duan Wenrui, and Xiaoqi was also coaxed away by the soldiers, and when a team of people disappeared into the night, Duan Wenrui hurriedly made arrangements for the coachmen, and asked them to rush to Beixiang overnight, striving to seal the entrance of the Beixiang mine with explosives before the end of Yu Sanli's surrender ceremony tomorrow.

Zhou Zhentai pulled everyone all the way to the beginning of the meeting.

Because they were too sleepy, everyone fell down as soon as they returned to the room, and even Xiao Zhifu, who had always liked to listen to the reports of his subordinates, was so sleepy that he couldn't open his eyes, and he barely heard what Zhang Guards had done when he saw Duan Guangrong and went to dream of Zhou Gong.

This night, a few people tossed and turned, and a few people slept peacefully, as if it was only a moment of effort, and the sky was dawning.

"Sir, it's time to get up. Gu Qian recuperated a little on the couch, and he didn't dare to sleep, as soon as Gu An woke up, he woke up.

"What time is it?" Gu Qian's eyes were full of red threads, and he had not survived lightly in the past two days.

"It's done. Gu An brought Gu Qian a coat and shoes and socks, and seeing Gu Qian's sleepy appearance, Gu An couldn't bear to say, "Master, why don't you sleep for a while!"

"After today, there is time to sleep. Gu Qian got up and ordered, "Gu An, go and prepare hot water for me." ”

"Master, do you still want to take a bath?" Gu An was speechless, his master didn't love cleanliness so much before!

Gu Qian glared: "Do you have an opinion?"

Gu An shrunk his neck: "Don't dare." ”

The hot water soaked so that the pores of his whole body opened, and Gu Qian became radiant again.

He dressed in an orderly manner, ate his breakfast slowly, and waited for a moment when he had cleaned up, and then drove Jian to the bottom of the Zhou Zhentai.

The moment of accepting Yu Sanli's surrender was set at the beginning of the year, and there was still plenty of time, Gu Qian carefully thought about last night's plan, and after making sure that there was nothing missing, he settled down and waited quietly.

"Gu Zhixian, Lord Zhentai, please come in. Zhou Zhentai's attendant saw Gu Qian and politely invited him in.

As soon as Gu Qian entered the door, he saw Zhou Zhentai drinking porridge with side dishes, he frowned, and blamed himself: "It's all a dereliction of duty on the part of the lower officials, and they actually sent this kind of light food to Lord Zhentai, please forgive Lord Zhentai!"

"It's none of your business, this is the taste of the old man for many years, and eating some chicken, duck and fish will accumulate food. Zhou Zhentai drank two bowls of vegetable porridge, put down the bowl, wiped his mouth with a hand towel, turned his head and asked, "Everything has been arranged?"

"Alright. ”

"That's good," Zhou Zhen finally showed a smile on the table, "Then wait for the show to start!"

Before the hour, the city gate of Qingjiang County was crowded with people watching the excitement, I heard that the official army had won a big victory in Beixiang, not only raided Duan Guangrong's home, but also arrested the Duan family, just waiting for noon to ask for beheading!

Some people also said that today is the day when Yu Sanli, the third master of Nanxiang, led the people of Nanxiang to ask the government to surrender, don't look at the courage of the villagers of Nanxiang, as soon as they heard the name of Zhou Zhentai, they were still scared!

For a while, the front gate of Qingjiang City was full of people, and it was very lively, and the messengers sent by Gu Qian to inquire about the news were even more coming-and-going, endless.

"It seems that the enthusiasm of the people of Qingjiang is very high!" Zhou Zhentai stroked his beard and smiled with satisfaction.

"It's all Lord Zhentai who has planned and managed to quell the chaos, and the people of Qingjiang are grateful for the kindness of Lord Zhentai, so there is a good story that the people are empty just to see the demeanor of adults!"

Zhou Zhentai squinted slightly, like a cat that had been smoothed, and his expression was more comfortable and comfortable: "Or Wangzhou can talk!"

What Xia Guan said was heartfelt, which made Lord Zhentai laugh. ”

"Alright, the time is almost up, and the surrender ceremony will officially begin!"
