readx;
As soon as he heard that Xuanwu was back, Zhu Qing didn't bother to go back to the house to rest, so he put his cloak on Ning Er and asked Ning Er to reply to the message. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć Info then he followed the communication soldiers to the back gate of Kaifeng to meet Xuanwu.
"You'd better put on this cloak, it's windy outside." Ning'er was concerned and was about to take off her cloak. was stopped by Zhu Qing.
Zhu Qing smiled slightly, "I'm not cold, besides, this cloak is too eye-catching, and it is easy to reveal your identity, so you put it on and go back." I'll come when I go with the white tiger. ā
Saying that, Zhu Qing followed the white tiger and went to the back door to pick up Xuanwu.
Zhu Qing was dressed in plain clothes, and in the dark night, ordinary people couldn't recognize him at all.
Wait for the three of them to walk to the city gate. Xuanwu had been waiting at the city gate for a long time, and Zhu Qing instructed that after returning from Shangqiu, he would wait for the people in the city to come to pick him up before entering the gate. Because Xuanwu brought back a 100-man musket team this time, he wanted to settle these people well.
The three brothers reunited, Xuanwu was very excited, and as soon as he entered the door, he recognized that it was Zhu Qing who gave him a look, and Xuanwu immediately turned to the white tiger and greeted him.
Others seemed to be greeting from a distance, but the three of them actually exchanged information.
"What's the situation?" Xuanwu asked in a low voice, his eyes already sweeping around the city gate.
Baihu didn't answer, because he didn't know what was going on, and for a moment, Zhu Qing said motionlessly, "There are people at the entrance of the alley." ā
At Zhu Qing's prompting, Baihu and Xuanwu noticed the figure in the alley, the man didn't know, he was hiding in the box, but the shadow he reflected on the ground betrayed him.
"Don't look. Being able to touch here shows that this person is not simple. Zhu Qing told White Tiger and Xuanwu.
"Could it be Damon's people?" The white tiger remembered the incident at the grain release site today, and was worried that there would be fish that slipped through the net.
"By the way, on the way here, we packed up a few Nadamon, three of them died, and one was captured alive, and now they are outside the city." Xuanwu responded.
Zhu Qing shook his head. No, Nadamon's killer is not of this shape. As soon as Zhu Qing said, Baihu and Xuanwu were taken aback, but they didn't expect that Zhu Qing could judge a person just by a shadow. No wonder he can sit at the top of the four saints in the capital.
"It should be Li Zicheng's person." Zhu Qing continued.
"What's left for that? I'm going to go and end up with him. Xuanwu said, and was about to leave, but was stopped by Zhu Qing, "Wait! Keep him. ā
"What?!" Xuanwu and Baihu were surprised.
"Keep him to go back and report to Li Zicheng." Zhu Qing smiled at the corner of his mouth.
"Big brother wants to ......?" White Tiger and Xuanwu also looked at each other and smiled, as a senior brocade guard, this kind of understanding is a must.
Zhu Qing nodded, and deliberately asked loudly, "How many men did General Xuanwu bring this time?" ā
"Not much, just five thousand soldiers and horses." Xuanwu also replied loudly.
"Only five thousand? Too little! It's just Li Zicheng's stuffed teeth. The white tiger also echoed and said, I said, is there no one in your Xuanwu Sect? Why did you bring 5,000 soldiers and horses? ā
Sure enough, when the man in the alley heard this, he sneered and said to himself, "Five thousand soldiers and horses also want to resist my invasion of 100,000 troops!" But before the man could finish his life, Xuanwu burst out laughing, "Brother Liangshan, General Baihu, you don't know, these five thousand people are not ordinary shrimp soldiers and crab generals, they are all well-equipped fire and spear teams, each with one firearm, each with thirty rounds of ammunition, plus four Tiangang and five thunders. Even if Li Zicheng can't be stopped, it is estimated that it will not be a problem for the fish to die and the net will be broken. ā
When Zhu Qing heard this, he almost didn't laugh out loud, thinking that you Xuanwu is usually a high and cold, but I didn't expect to tell a lie.
"Tell me earlier. Scared me. I thought there were only 5,000 soldiers, and if that were the case, you might as well take them back and not bring them to their deaths. The white tiger replied.
Hearing Xuanwu say that he had brought five thousand firemen and spears, the man in the alley was not calm, Zhu Qing could see from the movement of his shadow, and then nodded to Xuanwu, "In this case, let the brothers have a good rest in the capital, I don't know when this Li Zicheng will attack the city." I just opened the warehouse today to put grain, and I can finally give my brothers a bite to eat. ā
"What? Have you opened a warehouse to release grain? Big brother woke up? Xuanwu looked at Zhu Qing and asked very cooperatively in the blink of an eye.
Hearing Xuanwu's sudden question, Baihu was taken aback, why did this thing mention Zhu Qing's matter here. But Zhu Qing was very pleased, what he wanted was this effect. Then he nodded and responded, "Hey, the eldest brother is seriously injured, and he hasn't been in three years or five years, how can he wake up?" The big guy just wants to fulfill the eldest brother's wish to change the law, and by the way, he prays for the eldest brother's food. ā
When Bai Hu heard this, he understood the intentions of the two, so he patted Zhu Qing on the shoulder and said, "Brother Liangshan, General Xuanwu has just come back, so I won't talk about this matter for now." It's late at night, so let the brothers go into the city to rest. ā
Zhu Qing nodded, "I've already prepared the camp, just let them in!" It's too late today, I'll pick up the wind tomorrow for the brothers! ā
As he spoke, Xuanwu nodded, and then whistled.
The 100 firemen and spear teams assembled outside the gate entered the city one after another.
At this time, the black shadow in the box poked out again, Zhu Qing nodded slightly to the white tiger, and the white tiger suddenly shouted, "What person?!" So saying, he chased after him.
The shadow thought it had been discovered, and ran away.
The white tiger chased after a while, and only when he saw the man climb out of a low wall, did he stop, smile slightly, and return.
When the White Tiger returned, the 100-man White Lotus Fire and Spear Team brought by Xuanwu from Shangqiu had just finished entering the city.
"This is the green dragon that the white shadow of your second master told you." Xuanwu said to the White Lotus Fire Gun Team.
The hundred people just wanted to report, but were stopped by Zhu Qing, "Shhhhhh This is not the place to talk, so let's go into town. With that, he asked Xuanwu to lead the fire and spear team into the city.
In the ranks, there was a man in charge, with his hands tied and a cloth in his mouth, and it seemed that this was the Nadamon killer who had been captured alive. After listening to the conversation between Xuanwu and them at the city gate just now, and seeing Zhu Qing standing in front of him alive, the man's eyes were wide and he was struggling and whining.
"Crush him into the Jinyi Guard prison!" As soon as the white tiger gave the order, the man was dragged away by the two brocade guards.
Zhu Qing settled the White Lotus Hundred Fire and Spear Team, and then took Xuanwu to the hall.
The leaders sat around again and discussed.
"I almost didn't laugh just now." Xuanwu said as he drank his tea.
"I haven't seen you speak, and your reaction just now really surprised me." Zhu Qing said to Xuanwu with admiration.
When Xuanwu heard this, he put down the teacup, and his face sank again.
"Look at it, just boasted a few words, and started pretending again." The white tiger said, "When will you take off this mask of yours and let us see the true face of your Xuanwu Lord?" ā
In fact, Zhu Qing also wants to know what this brother next to him looks like! Since entering Jinyiwei, I have heard the name Xuanwu, but it is true that a year later, the four of them went to the capital to perform a mission, and the four saints of Qinglong, White Tiger, Xuanwu, and Vermilion Bird met for the first time, but I didn't expect that Xuanwu was still wearing a mask. No one has ever seen the face behind the mask.
"I'm a little tired today, so I'll go rest first." Obviously, Xuanwu didn't want to talk about this topic, put down the teacup, got up and said coldly.
Zhu Qing was embarrassed to stop him, so he didn't say anything.
At that time, the white tiger said, "Huh? Aren't you going with me to interrogate those Nadamon killers? ā
"With you, what am I worried about?" Xuanwu walked out the door without looking back.
"Didn't you catch another one?" Zhu Qing asked.
"That's not my turn." Xuanwu didn't seem to want to stay.
"This temper has become the same as changing the sky, and it will change when it is said." The white tiger muttered, perhaps a little unaccustomed to Xuanwu's attitude.
"Don't worry! You go and ask, and those who don't speak will be killed. I wanted to let Xuanwumen breathe this out! Zhu Qing remembered that more than 30 people in Xuanwu Gate were killed by Nadamon's plot, took a sip of tea, and said.
At this time, Xuanwu, who had just walked to the door, really stopped, "What are you still doing in a daze?" Not yet? Xuanwu said to the white tiger, and walked towards the Jinyi Guard prison.
Baihu glanced at Zhu Qing, and the two looked at each other and smiled.
"Go ahead, dig up as much as you can." Zhu Qing commanded, and the white tiger nodded, and followed Xuanwu towards the Jinyi Guard prison.
"Are you really going to kill them?" Suddenly, Ning Er came out of the room and asked.
"What? You haven't slept yet? Zhu Qing stopped drinking tea.
"I've heard what you've said."
"What do you want to say?" Zhu Qing asked.
"I know the dagger." Ning Er said quietly.
Zhu Qing put down the cup and glanced at Ning'er.
