After settling down the Yuan shopkeeper's family, Zhu Qing invited everyone to a banquet at the post station, since it was a banquet, of course Zhu Qing was the east, but the dishes were not so rich, not to mention the wine.

Some of the brothers were bold and coaxed, "Big brother, is this a banquet?" At least quench your brother's thirst with a few jars of wine. ”

"Yes, big brother, it's rare that you have accepted so many good generals today, so make an exception once......"

"yes, yes......"

The soldiers coaxed.

Zhu Qing stood up, raised his hand to signal everyone to be quiet, and smiled slightly, "Are you sure you want to drink?" There will be training later. ”

"Drink, why don't you drink if you have wine, aren't you brothers? ......" someone shouted.

"That's right! I drank it open today, isn't it just to go outside, just take a walk to relieve hangover......"

"Okay, shopkeeper, serve wine to the brothers!" Zhu Qing sneered, and the shopkeeper of the post station ordered.

"Big brother." The shopkeeper answered, and then asked Xiao Er to move out several jars of wine. The soldiers, who were clamoring for a drink, saw a jar of wine in front of them. didn't wait for Zhu Qing to order, they were full of alcohol, and they were too addicted to alcohol.

During the match with Zhu Qing, he endured the pain and shook his head and smiled.

Lin Bai just wanted to pour it, but when he saw that Cheng Li didn't move, he asked strangely, "Hey, I said the third child, you usually serve wine when you have it, why is it wilting now?" ”

"Hmph, you have to drink it yourself, don't win me over, I'll have to accompany my eldest brother to train later." Cheng Li glanced at Lin Bai and said.

"Hmph, don't drink for nothing." Lin Bai said, he poured it for one night and drank it all, it was late autumn at this time, and it was nothing to say that it was okay to drink a wine here, but it could still keep out the cold. But Shopkeeper Yuan looked at Lin Bai and persuaded with a smile, "Vice General Lin, it's better to drink less." ”

"Hey, do you hear that? Everybody's trying to persuade you. Zhu Qing smiled slightly and took a sip of tea.

"That's it, Brother Qinglong said that he was still pretending to be big there." This somewhat coquettish voice naturally came out of Miss Yuan, although she buried her head in eating, but her eyes glanced at Zhu Qing from time to time, and took Lin Bai to brush.

Although several jars of wine were brought out, some people drank them openly, and some people didn't drink at all, so the soldier who drank the most just now drank a little baa, and asked the buddy who didn't drink next to him, "Hey, why don't you drink it?" ”

"I don't want to die." The guy answered him coldly.

"Isn't it just right to have a drink and take a run. How can it be so serious, cut, unfounded. The soldier was unimpressed.

At this time, Zhu Qing stood up, "Brothers, I also ate this meal and drank the wine." Next, it's time for the zipper training I told the big guy yesterday to begin, right? Adjutant Cheng! ”

Zhu Qing said to the soldiers, and then ordered Cheng Li.

"The end will be." Cheng Li was in awe.

"You lead a group of brothers who don't drink."

"Yes!"

"Vice Admiral Lin!"

"Big brother!" Lin Bai was obviously a little taller, and he didn't pay attention to the occasion.

"Huh?" Zhu Qing stared at him, Cheng Li pulled the corner of his clothes again, and Lin Bai immediately changed his words, "The last general obeys orders!" ”

"You lead a group of drinking brothers."

"This ......" Lin Bai felt a little bad.

"What? Not enough? Zhu Qing asked.

"Oh no, the last general obeys." Lin Bai responded.

"The two of you led your teams from the post station to the grassland coal yard ten kilometers outside the Guan, and each of you came back with a bag of coal. Remember, you only have one stick of incense, and after one stick of incense, I will personally verify the amount of coal. As for the losing group, hmph, you will unconditionally accept a punishment for the winning group! ”

"The last general obeys!" The words of the main general have been said to this, and there is no way back in the difficulty, Lin Bai and Cheng Li, the two deputy generals, had to grit their teeth and take orders, and began to fight red-eyed.

There is indeed a coal mine ten miles outside the pass, which was mined earlier by the Ming guards, and has been used as a supply of energy for the border pass, but all along, the Ming Dynasty has only used it for heating and cooking or practicing swords. Although it has entered autumn here, it is not to the point where it is necessary to bake a fire for warmth, what does Zhu Qing want the soldiers to carry a pile of coal into the pass?

The generals were a little incomprehensible, even Sai Shiqian, who often traveled the rivers and lakes, and Yuan Blacksmith, who dealt with iron and fire, were also a little incomprehensible.

Sai Shiqian asked, "If you want to train, you can also move some stones, besides, this coal pile is useless in the pass, and it will affect feng shui, and the minister of supervision will arrive tomorrow, isn't it inappropriate?" ”

Shopkeeper Yuan also nodded, expressing his agreement with the opinions of the race time.

Unexpectedly, Zhu Qing smiled, "Stones are too easy to cheat, there are stones in a radius of several miles, they won't be so honest." But if I were to inspect the coal, they would have to go to a coal kiln ten miles away! As for the use...... Zhu Qing said, glancing at Blacksmith Yuan, "Hmph, it won't be wasted." Well, now that the soldiers have left, it's time for me to set off. With that, Zhu Qing lit a stick of incense on the desk and stood up.

"What? Are you going? "I can't figure it out.

"Of course, as the head coach, how can I just talk and not do it? Brother Shiqian still goes back to the room to rest first, and when you get better tomorrow and the day after tomorrow, it will naturally be inevitable. Zhu Qing said, looking at the time of the game seriously, and smiled faintly.

Sai Shiqian thought that Zhu Qing was just talking, but he didn't expect him to be so serious, Sai Shiqian swallowed a mouthful of saliva and nodded.

"That old man also took his family to the horse shop to help." Shopkeeper Yuan said and stood up as well.

Zhu Qing nodded, "Then it's troublesome for Uncle Yuan." Zhu Qing said, clasping his fist at the shopkeeper Yuan.

Shopkeeper Yuan returned the salute and was about to walk out of the door, but was stopped by Zhu Qing, "Uncle Yuan, you have to hurry up about the horseshoe, when I come back, there are other things to discuss with you." ”

Seeing that Zhu Qing had something to say, Shopkeeper Yuan nodded and walked out of the door. I was a little apprehensive in my heart.

Watching everyone leave, Zhu Qing smiled to himself, this smile was not easy to detect. He packed his clothes, looked at the incense stick on the desk, which had burned a third of it, and walked out the door.

Ten miles, for Jinyiwei, may be able to cope with it, but it is not an easy task to go back and forth, and look at fifty kilograms of coal.

Cheng Li's side was okay, he was full, and he just converted into energy on the way there, so although he was a little tired, he still endured under Cheng Li's spur.

But it's hard to say about Lin Bai's side. They are all a bunch of drunkards, who have just drunk alcohol, and if they walk ten miles alone, they will indeed just sober up, but on the way back with coal, not only the soldiers, but even the deputy general Lin Bai also lay down several times and wanted to give up several times. But when he thought of his eldest brother's words and Jinyiwei's will, Lin Bai still gritted his teeth and urged. They are not pouring on strength, but on thirst, because they have just drunk alcohol, and this time they are carrying out physical transport, and the alcohol just volatilizes violently, and the first point is thirst, and many training problems caused by thirst abound.

Zhu Qing stood on a high ground, observing the two groups of soldiers, and sneered. Then he ran to the coal yard.

At dusk, at Shanhaiguan, two piles of coal were piled up in a corner of the square, one big and the other small. Zhu Qing stood between the two piles of coal, waiting for the last drop of incense ash to fall.

Outside the city gates, there were still people who came back one after another with coal bags. Zhu Qing looked at Lin Bai and Cheng Li, the two lieutenants, Cheng Li was relatively calm, after all, the pile of coal in front of him was much more than the pile in front of Lin Bai.

"Hurry up for Lao Tzu! Let you drink! Lin Bai was furious and shouted at his team members.

Zhu Qing didn't speak, he smiled and looked at the incense burner in the hand of the shopkeeper next to him.

"It's time!" With the shopkeeper shouting!

Zhu Qing shouted, "Stop!" ”

The soldiers who did not complete the task were stopped outside the city gate, of course, most of them were members of Lin Bai's team.

Zhu Qing paced back and forth beside the two piles of coal, not smiling, this smile made people feel afraid.

"How? On the first day of zipping, are you still satisfied? Zhu Qing asked.

No one dared to answer.

Zhu Qing continued, "Now, I don't need to say it, the outcome has been decided. According to what was agreed in advance, Vice General Cheng can make a request to Vice General Lin, and Vice General Lin and his team must do it unconditionally. Adjutant General Cheng, you can say it. ”

"This ......" Cheng Li was in trouble, he looked at Lin Bai, smiled, turned around and shouted to his team members, "Brothers, what do you want to do?" "But everybody just laughed, some people made a fuss, but no one came up with a decent idea. Cheng Li had no choice but to reply to Zhu Qing, "Big brother, this is the first time, I really can't think of it." ”

Lin Bai glanced at Cheng Li, gave him a thumbs up, and said softly, "Good buddy! ......" Cheng Li grinned before he finished speaking, "Let's wait until we think of any good ideas." Is this condition valid for a long time? ”

Hearing this, Lin Bai's thumb turned into a middle finger, and his smiling face turned into a white eye.

Zhu Qing glanced at Lin Bai and smiled in his heart, "Of course it works, I'll give you a night to think." ”

"Brother Xie!" Cheng Li said.

"Also, in addition to following the rules of the game, you also have to educate the soldiers who don't complete the mission, especially those who want to drink! Let him know that Jinyiwei is not a mixed eater and drinker, and it will be too late to regret it when he falls on the battlefield! Although Zhu Qing didn't speak loudly, the words were powerful, and the two lieutenants had no choice but to lunge and be ordered, "The last general obeys the order!" ”

"Hmph, it's easy to say, just talk about it and don't practice, you have the ability to try it?!" After Lin Bai turned around, he muttered a little unconvinced.

"Stop!" Zhu Qing shouted.

Lin Bai had no choice but to turn around.

"What do you say? Say it again! Zhu Qing said to Lin Bai.

Lin Bai knew that he couldn't hide it, so his heart was crossed, and he said the original words.

After Zhu Qing heard this, he sneered and yelled at Lin Bai, "Don't rely on others if you talk about yourself!" Shopkeeper's! ”

Zhu Qing gestured to the shopkeeper.

"Yes!" As the shopkeeper responded, the four shopkeepers took out two bags of coal bags.

"Report, Zhu Qing! Two coal ladles, time ...... The fastest! The shopkeeper said and registered it in a booklet.

Looking at the two bags of coal in front of them, the soldiers were dumbfounded. Lin Bai didn't dare to raise his head.

"Go! Take your soldiers and run twenty laps around the training ground, or don't come back to sleep! Zhu Qing pointed to the training ground and yelled at Lin Bai.

"Yes!" Lin Bai's echo was loud, and there was no ambiguity. Lead his crew to the training ground!
