That night, almost everyone in Kaifeng City slept soundly. After several days of fighting, the soldiers were tired. Zhu Qing arranged a mobile outpost, and also communicated with the people of Kaifeng, so that the army and the people worked together to prevent foreign enemies.

It is true that the army is famous, but it is not as loving the people as the legend says. Everywhere the army went, there were praises and criticisms, the reason was mostly that Li Zicheng connived at his subordinates to rob property, indiscriminately, at first just robbed the local tyrants and inferior gentry, and then it was out of control, even the common people were not spared, and at this time, the enemy outside the border pass was watching, although the army held up the pro-people slogan of overthrowing the Ming court, dividing the land, and not paying for food, but it also gave people the suspicion of not fighting outside the country and fighting chaos inside. This was the act of the mob in a traditional imperial society. And the ending of the later army just proves this, which is a later story.

In short, under the trade-off, under the amazing action of King Fu to repay the country with his death, and under Zhu Qing's inspiring efforts to turn the tide, the people of Kaifeng made a choice in their hearts, and they chose to support Zhu Qing. Therefore, Kaifeng City soon established a militia regiment to assist Zhu Qing in setting up guards, obtaining intelligence, and conducting temporary operations.

Just when the big guy was asleep, Zhu Qing came to the city wall alone, and tonight, Liangshan, the head of the militia regiment, led the team to stand guard. Liangshan is the first guard of King Fu's mansion, although there are many people in King Fu on weekdays, but many times, Liangshan secretly carries it for the people, such as taxes, etc., so Liangshan is deeply trusted by the people of Kaifeng, and the position of the head of the militia regiment naturally belongs to him.

"How? Did you find anything out of the ordinary? Zhu Qing walked towards Liangshan, although he didn't have to rest after a night of fighting, Liangshan's eyes were still bright.

"Report to the General, nothing out of the ordinary." Liangshan has been staying in King Fu's mansion, and the rules of etiquette are strictly observed.

"Hey, don't be a long general, we'll call each other brothers in private." Zhu Qing smiled and patted Liangshan on the shoulder and said.

"But ......"

"Don't be, then let me ask you, how old are you?"

"It's twenty-five after the New Year."

"Look, look, I'm only twenty-four after the New Year. You're a year older than me, why are you so polite? Zhu Qing said and patted Liangshan on the shoulder again.

"The general is really young and promising......"

"Look, it's a general again, isn't it? In the future, you can just call me Zhu Qing in private. ”

"How can this be? Absolutely not. That's it, although you are younger than me, but when I see the race, they all call you big brother, if you don't dislike it, I will also call you big brother, right? ”

"That's not good, you're older than me."

"In this way, the general still dislikes me, then I will still call the general, lest others hear me call you by your name, and they will talk about me behind my back." Liangshan looked aggrieved.

"Hey, hey, okay, let's call it big brother, anyway, the general feels awkward when he hears too much." Zhu Qing agreed.

"Really?" Liangshan was surprised, he didn't expect to be able to call Qinglong a brother one day.

"Ahh Zhu Qing nodded.

"Great, big brother!" Liangshan said to give Zhu Qing a bear hug, this hug made Zhu Qing at a loss, he suddenly recalled a year ago, Xiaobao hugged him after eating the roast goose.

"Big brother, what's wrong with you? Does it hurt you? Seeing that Zhu Qing's expression was a little dazed, Liangshan asked in surprise.

Zhu Qing shook his head, smiled slightly, walked to the edge of the city wall, and sighed, "Liangshan, I won't tell you, you remind me of an old man." ”

As he spoke, Zhu Qing slowly sat down and sat on the edge of the city wall, his feet hanging down, blowing the night breeze, and looking into the distance.

"Who?" Liangshan was also gently beside Zhu Qing.

"His name is Xiaobao, and he is my first buddy in this world."

"So you grew up together?"

Zhu Qing smiled bitterly and shook his head, "No, you don't understand it." "Of course Liangshan won't understand, maybe no one here understands, and no one believes, how can they believe that Zhu Qing traveled back to the Ming Dynasty from the future?

"And you're still telling me?" Liangshan muttered.

"Hmph." Zhu Qing smiled softly, "I didn't mean to play tricks on you, I didn't know where to start." ”

"Then tell me where Xiaobao is now, right?"

"Him?" Zhu Qing paused, "He died a year ago, and he died for me." ”

"Huh?" Liangshan exclaimed, then lowered his voice and looked apologetic, "I'm sorry." ”

"I don't blame you. Have you heard of the Battle of the Yellow River Estuary? Zhu Qing's thoughts returned to the ship.

"I've heard that it is said that Gao Yingxiang, the king of Lao Chuang, died in that battle."

"That's right, I was also there at the time, and Gao Yingxiang was shot to death by a dart."

"Big brother, wait, you shouldn't have put the darts, right?" Liangshan asked as he sounded a little meaningful.

Zhu Qing nodded and sighed, "It's me." ”

"Oh, big brother, it turns out that you have long been famous." After hearing this, Liangshan admired it.

"Heh, what's the use of being famous? If Xiaobao didn't have Zhonggao Yingxiang's cold arrow, I wouldn't have shot that dart, so that no one would die. Zhu Qing smiled bitterly.

"But there are no ifs in life. Big brother, you said that I look like Xiaobao, I think that if Xiaobao has a spirit in the sky, he will not blame you, and he is still proud of you now. Liangshan said.

"Yes. There are no ifs in life. I'm telling you because you remind me of the past. Zhu Qing said.

"You tell me because you trust me and treat me as a brother. Don't worry, big brother, I also promise you that I will treat you like Brother Xiaobao, as long as my Liangshan lives for one day, I will guard Kaifeng City for you! "Liangshan swears.

"Of course I believe you. Hey, I didn't expect that the general of my army would be so sentimental and look back on the past. Zhu Qing smiled bitterly and sighed.

"Ruthless may not be a true hero, how can a poor son not be a husband?" At this time, a person behind Zhu Qing said.

Zhu Qing looked back and saw that it was Ning Er.

"How do you know this poem?" Zhu Qing was surprised, Brother Xun's poem at this time!

"Have you forgotten? The study you just cleaned up for you. Ning'er smiled.

"Oh, I see." Zhu Qing remembered that he used this poem to practice calligraphy.

"'Pride may not be really heroic, how can a poor son not be a husband?' Hey, big brother, what a poem! I can't get used to those so-called big husbands who call women all day long, and they have the final say at every turn. Which is like a general, who can wave the army on the outside and be considerate of the beauty on the inside, this is called a person in temperament! Gee. Liangshan saw that Ning Er was holding a cloak in his hand and deliberately teased.

"Oops, hey, Flim is slippery." Zhu Qing said and stood up.

"Go back and meet your eyes, you haven't rested for many days." Ning Er said, draping the cloak on Zhu Qing's body.

"Take a look, what am I talking about?" Liangshan smiled evilly at Zhu Qing and Ning Er.

"Here you go! See if you don't plug your mouth! Ning'er said, stuffing a pack of hot steamed buns into Liangshan's arms. It turned out that it was Yin Shi (3 to 5 o'clock) at this time, and Ning Er and Yuan Ruo had already gotten up to make breakfast. This steamed bun is just out of the pot.

"Hey, this steamed bun is so fragrant, I'm afraid it's not for the door, right? It's a love breakfast. "Liangshan does not forgive.

"You just eat, where is all this nonsense?" Zhu Qing smacked Liangshan and turned to Ning Er and said, "Let's go." ”

"Hey, big brother go slowly, sister-in-law go slowly!" Liangshan is also cheap enough, and it's endless, not to mention that he still eats steamed buns that people just made in his mouth.

"If the city gate is lost, see if I don't clean you up!" Zhu Qingtou shouted without looking back.

"Guaranteed to complete the mission!" Liangshan suddenly stood up.

Zhu Qing and Ning Er shook their heads and walked back to King Fu's Mansion with a smile, here, it has been officially renamed, Kaifeng Mansion!
