Zhang Fa was locked up in the prison of the post station, and he would never have thought that he, as an escort officer, would one day be chained with shackles and chains. But because he hadn't woken up yet, Zhang Fa was screaming in prison at this time, crazy with alcohol.

"Let Lao Tzu out!" Zhang Fa shook the wood of the cell and shouted.

Zhu Qing personally came down to visit.

"Your Excellency." Lin Bai, the general under him, saw Zhu Qing coming to visit the prison and said respectfully.

"What about him?" Zhu Qing asked.

"I've been drinking crazy." Lin Bai replied.

"Open the door and I'll go in and have a look."

"This ......"

"What's wrong?" Zhu Qing saw that Lin Bai was in trouble and asked.

"No, the last general is worried that he will be drunk and crazy, which will be bad for adults." Lin Bai responded.

Zhu Qing smiled, "It's okay, open it." ”

Lin Bai nodded and opened the cell door. Zhu Qing walked into Zhang Fa's cell. In just one day, Zhang Fa had gone from a decent court official to a sloppy prisoner. Looking at the unkempt hair, Zhu Qing felt a sour nose.

"My lord, can you tell Qinglong, who is the masked man?" Although Zhu Qing knew that the masked man was Wu Sangui's person, he was not sure who it was, if one day, there was really civil strife, this person would be a fierce enemy.

"Hmph, I'm in prison now, let you dispose of it, why bother with so many words?" Zhang Fa glanced at Zhu Qing and said with a sneer.

"Bold, dare to talk to Lord Qinglong like this?!" Lin Bai stood aside and looked unpleasant, very excited, and shouted. was stopped by Zhu Qing raising his hand.

"Don't worry, you are kind to me, besides, the ambassador of the capital promised to take you back to the Criminal Department, and we will treat you like a drunken madness, and we will not do anything to you. If you tell me, I will save some trouble to check, if you don't say, hmph, our Jinyiwei is not a vegetarian, this can still be checked. Zhu Qing tried his best to save face for Zhang, but he did not forget his identity as a Jinyi guard, let alone his identity as a guard at Shanhaiguan now. With so many subordinates watching, he couldn't be too favoritistic, so naturally his tone was a little tougher.

Zhang Fa had never seen Zhu Qing talk to him like this, and he suddenly softened. With an embarrassed face, he said, "Actually, I ...... I don't know very well, but when I was in Guanning, Wu Dashuai told me that if I could help him do something, he would let me go back to the capital. You also know that at that time, when you went to Shanhaiguan to perform a mission, I stayed alone in Guanning, I, I couldn't help myself. Later, when I saw you come back, I originally wanted to tell you about it, but who knew that the holy decree read by the ambassador of the capital did not mention me at all, and you snatched it away. I had a brain fever and I ......"

"I told you, let you stay with me in Shanhaiguan, there is my Qinglong, is there no yours? Who knew that you took a risk, and now that you have fallen into this step, don't blame Zhu Qing for being ruthless, send you back to the Criminal Department, I hope you will do it yourself! Zhu Qing said, turning around and walking out of the cell.

"Green Dragon! ......" After listening to Zhu Qing's words, coupled with the fact that he had sobered up a lot, Zhang Fa felt that he had made a big mistake and wanted to stop Qinglong to say sorry, but Qinglong had already turned around and left without looking back.

Lin Bai closed the cell door. Only Zhang Fa was left to look at the iron window, and outside, a cold moon shone into the window.

When Zhu Qing came back from the cell, he thought of the two old men in Zhang Fa's family, and then thought about Zhang Fa at this time, and his mood was a little lost. Zhu Qing walked into the room and was about to close the door, but the door was blocked. Zhu Qing looked back and saw that it was the White Tiger, Vermilion Bird and Xuanwu. The White Tiger Suzaku each held a pot of wine in his hand, Xuanwu held two pots, saw Zhu Qing turn around, and threw a pot over, Zhu Qing took the wine jug, smiled, opened the door, and let the three brothers in. The four of them drank around the corners of a table in the room. Just a strong drink, not much talking. Maybe everyone has a lot to say, but doesn't know where to start.

After three rounds of drinking, the conversation box gradually opened.

"Qinglong, we will bring you a thousand elite soldiers, whether Jinyi Wei can fight for a breath is up to you." The white tiger has the coolest temperament, of course, the first to speak.

"What? I want to shake the majesty of Jinyiwei, but that also means that Guan Ning is gone, and you can imagine what a terrible consequence it is. Zhu Qing took a sip of wine and said with a wry smile.

"It's only a matter of time before Guan Ning is lost." Xuanwu said coldly on the side.

"Hey, you speak carefully, you can't talk nonsense, if it reaches the emperor's ears, it will kill your head." Suzaku reminded Xuanwu.

"He didn't talk nonsense." At this time, a person suddenly came in from outside the door, and it was the ambassador of the capital.

"Ambassador!" Seeing the ambassador come in, the four of them stood up and saluted.

The ambassador waved his hand and motioned for the four to sit down.

The white tiger stretched over a stool for the ambassador to sit down. Suzaku pushed the fruit pot in front of the ambassador.

Although the emperor named Wu Sangui as the king of loyalty and filial piety, he himself couldn't sleep at night, and even if he fell asleep, he always dreamed that Guanning had fallen and the mountains and seas had been broken. We waited for the ministers to advise, 'Why don't you change the border general?' The emperor sighed: "Is there a more suitable general in the Ming Dynasty?" The emperor is right, now that the Ming Dynasty is under attack on all sides, many generals are absent-minded, although Wu Sangui did not try his best, after all, he still held on. Therefore, I came here tonight just to advise you, if you can avoid infighting, don't add chaos to the emperor. The ambassador of Beijing said earnestly.

"In the end, we must remember to focus on the overall situation." Zhu Qing knew that the ambassador of the capital meant something, and took the lead in expressing his position.

The ambassador of the capital nodded and continued, "Yesterday evening, I received a yellow-crowned carrier pigeon from the capital, saying that Yumen Pass was attacked and Kaifeng was in an emergency. The two adults, Killing Feng and Liu Qingfeng, had already followed Lord Sun Chuanting to the front line, and the comfort of envy of the capital was going to make the White Tiger Suzaku bother. ”

"What about me?" Xuanwu asked.

"You naturally have more important tasks. There are some things in the south that you need to solve, and when you return to the capital, someone will naturally arrange it. The ambassador of Beijing said.

Hearing that the situation in the customs was so tense, Zhu Qing couldn't sit still, so he automatically asked, "Ambassador, since there is still Marshal Wu Sangui guarding outside the gate, and the inside of the gate is so nervous, it is better to let the last general go back and help out." ”

The ambassador of the capital shook his head, "No. If you can't get out of it now, and there will be changes outside the gate, how can you take care of it? You must train the emperor well in case of accidents! ”

"Alright! The end will be remembered. Zhu Qing was helpless and took orders.

"Okay, it's almost dawn, everyone close their eyes, there are still many things to do tomorrow." The ambassador of the capital got up and walked out of Zhu Qing's room as he spoke. The four saints of the capital brocade guard also hurriedly got up to send them off.

"My lord, the green dragon will not be sent. White Tiger, you send the adults back to the room safely. Zhu Qing said.

"Yes."

The crowd dispersed. Zhu Qing closed the door and lay on the bed, unable to sleep for a long time. He had never felt such a heavy burden on his body, thinking that it was just for a woman, and now, he couldn't help it.
