Zhu Qing left the post station and pursued the infiltrator. Sai Shiqian walked downstairs by himself, walked in front of the two guards, stretched out his hands, and smiled bitterly, "Shut up my little black room." ”

"Thief, thief, did you get water in your brain or how did you drop it? With your ability, since our eldest brother is gone, you can escape, and you won't be stupid enough to voluntarily ask for the small black house to be closed, right? One of the guards said to Sai Shiqian.

"Hey, it's windy at night, where can I go here? Or go in and avoid the limelight. Sai Shiqian said, and handed it over again.

"Forget it, let's go, big brother explain, don't embarrass you too much." The two guards did not shackle him and took him to the post cell.

"Hey, I really don't understand, there is a woman like a flower to accompany you, and you are so reckless, I really understand what you think." One of the guards closed the cell door, shook his head and muttered.

Sai Shiqian smiled bitterly, "Brother, you don't know how difficult life is." ”

This night, Sai Shiqian slept very peacefully, he didn't seem to have to worry about that kind of sneaky days, just waiting for Zhu Qing to give him a task tomorrow, so that he could change his ways.

"Big brother, it's arranged. He didn't run away. At this time, the two guards said to a person at the gate of the post station that that person was Zhu Qing.

"Got it, go down, watch carefully, don't let him do tricks." In the dark, Zhu Qing said lightly.

"Yes!"

"Big brother, since you want to keep him, why do you have to bother with all these troubles. Just say no to your brothers? After the two guards left, Lin Bai asked Zhu Qing that the infiltrator was asked by Zhu Qing to pretend to be Lin Bai.

"Hey, you don't know, I'm not an idle person, and I'm doing this to make sure it's safe. First, to see if he really wants to stay and help me, and secondly, to let him stay more justifiably, so as not to have more unnecessary tongue in the future. ”

Zhu Qing said to Lin Bai.

Lin Bai realized, nodded, and then asked, "Then how can you tell him tomorrow, do you really have a task?" ”

"This, I have to trouble you to go to the Yuan family's iron shop." Zhu Qing said, muttering in Lin Bai's ear for a while, Lin Bai nodded while listening, and rushed to Yuan's iron shop overnight.

Lin Bai originally went to the Yuan family's iron shop with a playful mentality, after all, it was a game and would not be taken seriously, so Lin Bai was very leisurely along the way. However, when he rushed to Yuan's iron shop, Yuan's shopkeeper and his family were in a hurry like ants on a hot pot.

"Brother, the old man is guilty." Seeing Lin Bai coming, Shopkeeper Yuan took his wife and children to kneel down for Lin Bai. This frightened Lin Bai.

"Uncle. This is? Hurry up, get up and talk about it. Lin Bai was taken aback.

"Hey, it's all because I'm confused, I thought there wouldn't be thieves here, so things kept like this, but I didn't expect that in the blink of an eye, your spikes were gone. I'm going to deliver it tomorrow, I'm here, where can I get so many spikes at once? Old decay is guilty. The shopkeeper Yuan cried, he came down from the army, so he naturally knew the power of the military regulations, and for Lin Bai, he was fully responsible for this matter, and if he couldn't pay the difference when it was due, this punishment would be inevitable.

Therefore, although it is pitiful to look at the Yuan family, it is even more pitiful to think about yourself. However, Jin Yiwei's style quickly brought him out of his mood and asked, "Do you know where it is going?" ”

"To the east, it is estimated that this will already be out of the customs." The woman in charge of the shopkeeper Yuan answered, this girl is about to come out, and her appearance is even handsome, Lin Bai only cared about the matter of the nails, and didn't care, this time, my obedient eyes, looked at the little girl and lowered her head shyly.

"Yes, yes, at that time, the little girl was cleaning up the yard, and the man rode a fast horse and smuggled and robbed the spikes." Shopkeeper Yuan added.

"Sir, please forgive us a few days so that we can prepare the spikes again, or, with ordinary nails?" These are the words of Yuan's shopkeeper's son, who sounds a little more timid than his sister.

Originally, Lin Bai wanted to be mad, after all, this is a business, after all, this is a military regulation, but when he saw this old and young man crying and mourning, and then looked at this beautiful Yuan girl, Lin Bai's heart softened. He slapped the table and stood up, you guys get ready first, I'll go after the thieves and see if I can catch up. If there is really no way, I, Lin Bai, will carry it alone! With that, he stepped on his horse and returned to Shanhaiguan.

"Master Xie, Master Xie!" The Yuan family is really grateful to Lin Bai.

Lin Bai rushed back to Shanhaiguan and told Zhu Qing about the matter, Zhu Qing was taken aback when he heard it, "What? Is it really that coincidental? ”

"But no, we originally wanted to test the time of the game, but we didn't expect to meet thieves." Lin Baidao.

"It's not that a grace period of a few days won't work, it's just that I've already informed the capital. There will be an inspector coming to inspect the day after tomorrow, and I still want to get some funding. This appointment time cannot be changed just by saying that it can be changed. At that time, others think that we want to do something, and it is not good to have more gossip. Zhu Qing sighed.

"What about ......, with ordinary nails on top?" Lin Bai asked tentatively.

"Nope." Zhu Qing resolutely refused, "This is the border pass, the terrain is bumpy, besides, in the future, I will not have every tough battle, in addition to being conducive to the walking and running of war horses, sharp nails can also be used as weapons, which is related to the safety of horses and the war situation, and must not be sloppy." ”

"So what can I do?" Lin Bai was out of luck all of a sudden, he didn't catch up with the thief, he only knew that he fled in the direction of Ning Yuan.

"In your opinion, who would have done it?" Zhu Qing asked Lin Bai.

"If that spike is not used to nail horseshoe, it is no different from scrap metal, what is such an experienced thief doing when he pushes scrap iron?" Lin Bai fell into deep thought.

Zhu Qing smiled, "Yes, I'm getting better and better at thinking about problems." ”

"Hehe, isn't this something I've heard about by my eldest brother." Hearing Zhu Qing praising himself, Lin Bai's tail began to again.

"So what do you think?" Zhu Qing asked with a smile.

Lin Bai shook his head.

"Hey, this man is really unbridled." Zhu Qing sighed deliberately.

"Ouch brother, I'm not you, if my brain is as good as yours, isn't the commander of Shanhaiguan mine." Lin Bai scratched his head and laughed.

"Okay, don't be poor, in my opinion, this is not a thief on the rivers and lakes." Zhu Qing said seriously.

"Not on the rivers and lakes? Could it be the Japanese? ”

Zhu Qing shook his head, "If I'm not mistaken, it should be a soldier." ”

"Soldiers?" Lin Bai was shocked.

Zhu Qing nodded, "That's right, if you think about it, this spike is not worth a few dollars, even you know that he is an experienced thief." Moreover, he fled in the direction of Guanning. Whose territory is Guanning? ”

"Wu Sangui." Lin Bai responded.

"That's right, Wu Sangui. Do you remember? When Wu Dashuai sent us off the horses, he and General Hu Wei kept whispering there. ”

"I really remember you saying that, I thought he was going to play tricks in the herd that day." Lin Bai thought.

"Actually, they've already done it, do you think it's really that difficult to deal with?" Zhu Qing sneered. He remembered the silver needle he had found under the mane of the Wind Chaser.

"So, the spikes were also stolen by Wu Sangui's people?" Lin Bai asked.

"I guess so." Zhu Qing said in a deep voice, although it was a guess, but his tone was extremely affirmative.

"What then? If you want to ask Wu Sangui, it's impossible, won't you have to fight between the two armies for a nail, right? Lin Bai asked.

"Hahaha, why do you think about war all day long? This war can be avoided, especially the civil war, have you forgotten the words of the ambassador of the capital? Da Ming can't afford to toss. Zhu Qing shook his head and said to Lin Bai.

"It seems that this matter is really going to be moved to the game, but this is not a joke, if he is planted in the hands of Wu Sangui, with his reputation as a Jiangyang thief, ten heads are not enough to cut off." Zhu Qing thought for a while and said.

"And you're going to let him go?" Lin Bai was puzzled.

"We'll talk about it tomorrow." Zhu Qing said, went up to the second floor, and walked back to his room.
