Chapter 59: Confession
It was Zhu Qing's righteousness that made Lin Bai accustomed to casualness, and Zhu Qing knew that such a habit would make Lin Bai suffer, especially on the battlefield, casualness and willfulness were almost fatal. Therefore, Zhu Qing ruthlessly taught Lin Bai this ulterior lesson.
Shanhaiguan, at night, Zhu Qing looked around the training ground, and then walked to the horse workshop, where the shopkeeper Yuan's family and several horsemen were nervously nailing the eight hundred war horses to the horseshoe.
"Your Excellency." Seeing Zhu Qing come in, the stableman greeted him, and Zhu Qing nodded. Then he walked towards the shopkeeper Yuan.
"Lord Qinglong." Seeing Zhu Qing coming down to inspect, Shopkeeper Yuan naturally got up and saluted.
"How's it going?" Zhu Qing asked.
"One hundred and fifty horses left." The shopkeeper Yuan responded.
Zhu Qing nodded, "Let them do it, you come with me." With that, Zhu Qing turned around and walked out of the horse workshop.
Shopkeeper Yuan explained and went out with Zhu Qing.
Zhu Qing took the shopkeeper Yuan to my post station and brought him into his room.
Let the shopkeeper Yuan sit down, then pour him a cup of tea, and also sit opposite him.
"Thank you, sir." Shopkeeper Yuan took the tea and asked, "I don't know what the adults called the old man to discuss?" ”
Zhu Qing motioned to Shopkeeper Yuan to wait, got up and took a book from the bookshelf, and handed it to Shopkeeper Yuan.
"Artifact Spectrum?" Seeing the book handed over by Zhu Qing, Shopkeeper Yuan was taken aback.
"Exactly."
This book was originally created by Zhao Shizhen, a scholar, and it records the research and development and production of various weapons and equipment in the Ming Dynasty. Since General Yuan Chonghuan was killed, Scholar Zhao Shizhen was also implicated in order to speak for General Yuan, was demoted and resigned, and finally died of depression. His book was also copied by the government, and he has not been heard from since, I don't know how the adults got this book? It seems that Zhu Qing didn't look at the shopkeeper Yuan. I didn't expect him to know so much about this book and Bachelor Zhao Shizhen.
"Since Shopkeeper Yuan is well-informed, Zhu Qing doesn't have to get an axe. The book was actually stolen by the Shiqian brothers, on a ship of a Japanese robber. Zhu Qing said.
"Wako, no wonder we have been looking for so long in the Central Plains, this kind of book has not been found, it turned out that it fell into the hands of Wako. I'm so excited that this kind of national treasure has been recovered. It seems that Shopkeeper Yuan has not recovered from the surprise yet.
"Shopkeeper Yuan, I called you here tonight, it's not as simple as opening your eyes. I have more important things to help me with. Zhu Qing said to the shopkeeper Yuan seriously.
"Could it be that Lord Qinglong wants to create the artifact on the Artifact Spectrum?" Shopkeeper Yuan is a person who has seen the world, and he can still guess Zhu Qing's thoughts.
"Exactly. Don't know if it's difficult? Zhu Qing asked.
Shopkeeper Yuan flipped through the artifact spectrum, looked at the design drawings inside, and sighed, "After all, it is an artifact, and it is not easy to get started, but it is not impossible." With years of experience as a blacksmith, if I can find a few former brothers to help, it is not too difficult. ”
"Brother?" This is a secret mission, and I heard that the shopkeeper Yuan has to tell others. Zhu Qing naturally had to be a little more vigilant, after all, he was a Jinyi guard.
"Rest assured, my brothers are loyal and patriotic warriors, like the old man, they came down from General Yuan Chonghuan's troops, and they were good brothers who were born and died. My brother and I had no choice but to live in seclusion in the mountains and forests. Knowing that Zhu Qing was worried, Shopkeeper Yuan patiently explained.
"Okay, I'll ask Vice General Lin to go with you to meet your brothers another day, and bring them over by the way." Zhu Qing nodded and said, Zhu Qing can't be careless, this is related to the life and death of the army. He let Lin Bai go, so he was naturally more relieved.
"Then it's going to trouble a few generals." Shopkeeper Yuan stood up and bowed.
"If you take the "Artifact Spectrum", you don't have to go back to the iron shop. I'll have a few brothers move it tomorrow. Remember, for the time being, this is only for you and me. Zhu Qing deliberately explained.
"The old man understands. Please rest assured. It's just that the little girl told his grandmother before that she wanted to go to the city, you see? Shopkeeper Yuan said suddenly.
"Is there anything important? If you're just visiting relatives, let's stay here with peace of mind. Zhu Qing immediately agreed.
"My lord, her grandmother is dying, her mother was going to see it, after all, it was her biological mother, but you also saw it, this person is old, how can he withstand such a toss, so I want my daughter to go and see it on her behalf. Although her mother fell out with her mother's family when she got married, why do you care about all this in such a situation? Do you say yes or no? "Shopkeeper Yuan is reasonable.
Zhu Qing nodded, "Okay, tomorrow when Vice General Lin enters Beijing to greet the Minister of Supervision, let Miss Yuan follow." "Zhu Qing is for the sake of safety, not only for the sake of the army, but also for the sake of Miss Yuan, after all, it is a girl's family. It's inconvenient to go on the road alone.
"Then there are more adults. If only nothing else. The old decay retired first. Shopkeeper Yuan knew that he would not be able to leave this Shanhaiguan for a while, so he had to devote himself to studying the artifact spectrum.
Zhu Qing watched the shopkeeper Yuan return to the room before closing the window. He walked downstairs, walked out of the post station, and walked towards the training ground.
Walking up to Cheng Li's side, "How is it?" How many laps? It turned out that Zhu Qing asked Cheng Li to monitor Lin Bai's and his team members.
"Five laps to go." Cheng Li responded.
Zhu Qing nodded and walked over.
"How? Tired or not? Zhu Qing roared.
"Not tired!" Lin Bai answered loudly with the team members.
"Good! Count the guys! Zhu Qing shouted again.
"One, two, one! One, two, one! ......" Lin Bai's team is still ongoing.
When Lin Bai ran to Zhu Qing's side, he was stopped by Zhu Qing.
"Big brother." Although Lin Bai was punished, he didn't complain about Zhu Qing, after all, Zhu Qing set a good example for them. There is no one who does not admire.
"You do a hundred push-ups on the spot, and then come over here and don't have to run." Zhu Qing admonished.
"Yes!" Lin Bai responded, and then fell down in response, panting and doing it there one by one. The soldiers looked over one after another, thinking that Zhu Qing was punishing Lin Bai. There was a little more awe in my heart. Running hard.
"Ninety-Seven, Ninety-Eight, Ninety-Nine......"
Zhu Qing suddenly helped Lin Bai count.
"Big brother, this ...... These seventy. After listening to Zhu Qing's report, Lin Bai stood in the air and asked suspiciously.
"Malaya, there's one more missing." Zhu Qing did not explain. urged.
"Oh." Lin Bai had no choice but to answer.
Originally, there were a hundred good ones, but Zhu Qing only asked Lin Bai to make seventy. It's not that Zhu Qing is covering up, but that Zhu Qing has more important tasks for Lin Bai to do. He couldn't let Lin Bai get too tired.
"Big brother, what's the matter?" Lin Bai came to Zhu Qing and Cheng Li's side and asked with a pant.
"Sobering up?" Zhu Qing asked.
Lin Bai scratched his head and smiled stupidly, "Can you not wake up?" ”
Cheng Li covered his nose and snickered on the side, and Bai Lin glanced at him in vain.
"It's good to wake up. If you still don't wake up, I will ask Vice General Cheng to make higher demands. Zhu Qing meant punishment.
"Wake up, wake up, definitely wake up." Lin Bai hurriedly explained.
"Then go back and wash well, rest well, and go to the capital early tomorrow morning to pick up the Minister of Supervision." Zhu Qing commanded.
"Huh? Why am I going again? What about Adjutant Cheng? ”
"Vice General Cheng will train tomorrow." Zhu Qing said.
"I can also train soldiers." Lin Bai muttered.
"You're not going, are you? Then I'll ask Vice General Cheng to take Miss Yuan there. Seeing Lin Bai's reluctance, Zhu Qing did not blame him, but moved out of Miss Yuan to say something.
"What? Miss Yuan is also going? Hearing that he was going to accompany Miss Yuan, Lin Bai's eyes suddenly lit up.
"Miss Yuan is going to Beijing to visit her grandmother. If you refuse to go, then you only need to be wronged by Vice General Cheng. Zhu Qing pretended.
"No grievance, no grievance." Vice General Cheng also smiled secretly. deliberately teased.
"Yes, how can you wronged Vice General Cheng? Vice General Cheng still has to train his troops. I'll go for it. Lin Bai was anxious.
"So what's still here? Why don't you hurry up and prepare for a return visit? Zhu Qing drank deliberately.
Lin Bai disappeared as soon as he slipped away.
"Hey, as soon as I heard about Miss Yuan, I was terrible." Zhu Qing looked at Lin Bai's room, shook his head and smiled, he thought of Xiaobao again.
"You don't know the yet?" Cheng Li also smiled on the side. The two shook their heads and walked to the training ground, collected the troops, and went to sleep!
