Just as Zhu Qing and the brothers were eating and drinking, the guards suddenly came to report.

"Report to the general, a red-crowned pigeon was found outside the door!"

"Red-crowned pigeon?!" Hearing this announcement, everyone stood up in surprise, and everyone knew that the red-crowned carrier pigeon was carrying a first-class urgent mail, a letter from the prince's minister!

"Let's go! Go out and check it out! Zhu Qing walked towards the door with a solemn expression, he has been running around non-stop these days, and he has seen the severity of the situation in the Northeast, and he doesn't know what went wrong this time.

Zhu Qing walked out of the door, just stretched out his hand, and the carrier pigeon hovering in the air immediately landed on Zhu Qing's hand. Zhu Qing took down the letter, opened it, and was taken aback.

"What's wrong with Big Brother?"

"Yes, General, what the hell is going on?"

Everyone asked anxiously.

"Tongguan has started a war." Zhu Qing took a deep breath and spit out five words. The people present were all silent, everyone knew what Tongguan meant to Kaifeng and even the capital, and now Tongguan is still fighting, and all the news about Tongguan recently is not satisfactory, the plague is spreading, the drought is cold, and even there is a tragic scene of "the road has frozen bones". People are not as good as the sky, no matter how hard Sun Chuanting manages, Tongguan is still in crisis, and now he is officially at war with Li Zicheng, the victory or defeat is unknown, perhaps, this battle will become a turning point in the Ming Dynasty, and as for turning there, everyone has no answer in their hearts.

"Tongguan is at war, and you want our Shanhaiguan to support?" Leng Thorn asked.

Zhu Qing shook his head, "In the letter, General Sun didn't say a word about the support, only said that I might not be able to take care of my master, and asked me to go and pick up my master back." ”

"General Sun, this is determined to live and die with Tongguan." Yuan Bo sighed, Yuan Bo, who had been on the battlefield for a long time, naturally knew the general's helplessness.

"No, Tongguan can't be lost, we not only have to save Lord Feng, we also have to help General Sun!" Lin Bai swore an oath.

"Hmm. Go and get ready, and take 500 brothers with me to Tongguan. Zhu Qing nodded and instructed Lin Bai.

"General, I'll go too!" Cheng Li volunteered.

"No, you and Brother Shi Qian stayed to watch the house, this time I was in Jinzhou, and I saw Dolgon's subordinate Duoduo, this person has some ability, and now he is sent to the front line by Dolgon, but he is not here to see the scenery. You stay in Shanhaiguan, if there is any situation on Wu Sangui's side, you can take care of it. Zhu Qing commanded, and Cheng Li and Sai Shiqian had no choice but to nod.

"Uncle Yuan, you go and prepare five thousand firearms, I will take them to Tongguan!" Zhu Qing said to Yuan Bo.

"Yes, General."

"Wait, also, prepare guns and ammunition for Deputy General Cheng at any time, it's really not good, just use Tiangang five thunders." Zhu Qing added.

"However, there are less than ten Tiangang Five ......Thunders at present," Yuan Bo said.

"Hey......" Zhu Qing nodded helplessly, he knew that Uncle Yuan had worked hard, after all, this was to make weapons, not to pinch mud, he patted Uncle Yuan's shoulder, "Thank you for your hard work." ”

"What about me?" "I'll go with the general, maybe I can help." ”

"Of course you can help. However, General Sun has a military doctor there, but there is no one here in Shanhaiguan, don't forget that the last time Wu Sangui easily infiltrated Shanhaiguan to poison him, if you were there, there would not be a second time for this kind of thing. So ......"

"The old man understands, I will listen to the general's arrangement."

"General, you're all set." After a while, Lin Bai came to report that he had changed into a military uniform. Then go into battle to kill the enemy.

"Good! Let's go! Zhu Qing simply packed up his belongings and gave an order.

"Zhu Qing!" Just as Zhu Qing stepped on the chasing horse, Ning Er suddenly ran out of the inn, obviously she didn't need to rest for the night, her injuries had improved a lot, and the cold spur was really worthy of the ghost doctor in the capital.

Hearing this, Zhu Qing pulled the reins of the horse.

"Your body hasn't recovered yet, so don't run around." Zhu Qing smiled slightly.

"Who said I ran around. Your cape! I forgot to bring it! Give it back to you! Ning Er glanced at Zhu Qing and stuffed the cloak into Zhu Qing's arms, which Zhu Qing put on her when Ning Er was poisoned.

"No, you don't! I still have it myself, you're cold here, you want to take it. ”

"Less nonsense! Let you take it, you will take it, a big man, chirp crooked, I tell you, how do you go and how do you give me back, if you ......"

"Stop! , you still doubt me? When did you see me when I couldn't turn evil into good fortune? As soon as Zhu Qing saw Ning'er, he was on it, I can't say why, in front of Ning'er, he always felt extremely down-to-earth.

"Hey, big brother, you usually say that I like to blow it, why are you blowing it now?" Lin Bai coaxed this, and all the soldiers laughed one after another, sweeping away the tragic atmosphere of the expedition.

"Who won't let you blow it?" At this time, Yuan Ruo also came out, holding a fire gun in his hand.

"Hey, hey, girls, don't mess with guns!" Lin Bai was anxious, holding a piece of betel nut in his hand and pointing at Yuan Ruo.

"Huh, girl? Underestimate us girls? As he spoke, with a "bang", he knocked off the betel nut in Lin Bai's hand. The soldiers were stunned for a moment, and then burst into warm applause.

"Hey, don't make a fuss, go back for me!" Yuan Bo knew that Yuan Ruo was in trouble, so he hurriedly ran over to ask Zhu Qing for his guilt.

Zhu Qing smiled, "What a woman doesn't let her eyebrows have." Uncle Yuan, your girl has practiced hard, and she will be a female general in the future! ”

"Hmph, do you hear that? Lindbergh! If you don't accept your aunt and grandmother, you will come back alive for me, and let my aunt and grandmother train you well! Yuan Ruo said, throwing the fire gun in his hand to Lin Bai. grew up in the Yuan family's iron shop, and now turned to the firearms storehouse, so that this little girl can grow up quickly, which is very bold.

"That's it! We're going to get to the wilderness store before dark! Zhu Qing got back to business. It is a little unrealistic to rush to the wilderness store before dark, after all, this is winter, the days are short and the nights are long, but this also reflects Zhu Qing's eagerness to go on the expedition.

"Zhu Qing!" Ning Er wanted to say something more, but didn't say anything, Zhu Qing glanced back at Ning Er, and with a "driving" sound, he led five hundred brocade iron horses to the blood-red sunset and marched towards Tongguan. No one knows if they will be able to come back, when they will come back, and how they will come back. Shanhaiguan entered the night in silence.

Ning'er looked to the northeast, where was her relatives and hometown, but since the moment she rescued Zhu Qing in Jinzhou, her relationship with them had become confusing. Zhu Qing was the most different Ming Dynasty general she had ever seen. If he had shown up earlier, he might have been able to change the decision of Emperor Taiji and Dorgon. But history has no ifs. She must bear what she chooses. She closed the door and window, and wiped her jade sword again. Because of Zhu Qing, she is no longer neglected in Shanhaiguan. But does she really belong here? She looked again in the direction of the Shanhaiguan firearms storehouse.

Zhu Qing and his entourage did not arrive at the wilderness store before dark, but when they arrived, the wilderness store had not yet closed.

"Tell the story!" Although it was only a few conversations, the shopkeeper of the wild shop was already thunderous with this voice.

"General!" When the shopkeeper heard this, he was pleasantly surprised and came out, but when he went out, he was stupid, he didn't know Zhu Qing outside the door, and hundreds of soldiers and horses stood neatly behind Zhu Qing in a black line.

"Will ...... The general ...... "The shopkeeper has rarely seen such a serious scene, and his voice trembled a little.

"Don't be afraid, shopkeeper. We passed by here and wanted to rest here for a while, but we just wanted to buy some dry food from the shopkeeper and never entered the store. Zhu Qing explained what he meant, and the shopkeeper was a little relieved, nodded, and then ordered all the guys in the store to take action to prepare food for Zhu Qing's five hundred soldiers. It also served a warm and delicious mutton soup, which was perhaps the most luxurious delicacy of the year. After the march replenished his strength, Zhu Qing hurried overnight. Hearing that Zhu Qing went to Tongguan to fight, the shopkeeper was very excited, and gave Zhu Qing all the dry food left in the store, of course Zhu Qing would not take it in vain. Zhu Qing gave the shopkeeper silver as a token of gratitude, and then led the troops to continue to march towards Tongguan.

In the early morning, the cold wind is coming. Sun Chuanting was dressed in military uniform and was ready to go out, he knew that this time there would be more and more luck, and before leaving, he came to the couch where the killing wind was made. Although Killing Wind has woken up, he is paralyzed and lying on the bed like a living dead, which is painful for a young man who has galloped on the battlefield and called for wind and rain in black and white, but Sun Chuanting did not give him a chance to commit suicide, Sun Chuanting promised Zhu Qing to take good care of Killing Feng, because he believed that Zhu Qing could find the best doctor for Killing Feng, and Killing Wind would definitely regain his strength one day, but unfortunately, Sun Chuanting may not be looking forward to that day.

"Brother Killing Wind, you and I are officials in the same dynasty, thanks to God's favor and sympathy. Now that Li Zicheng's army is pressing, my Sun Chuanting can no longer live in a corner, so today I will lead my troops out of the customs and fight to the death with Li Zicheng. But as you know, it's not for me right now. I'm afraid there will be no return, I have already flown the pigeon to pass the book to Zhu Qing, I believe he will come soon to answer you. For the sake of Daming, you must live well, heal your injuries, and reorganize the rivers and mountains! Sun Chuanting said, his voice was a little choked, but he couldn't be sad, he was not a tragic hero, although he planned for the worst, he also had the strongest ambition. Otherwise, he would not be Sun Chuanting!

After Sun Chuanting explained the care of the killing wind, he walked out of the door without looking back, waved his robe, and raised his sword, "Get out of the customs!" A roar, like the dawn of the day, broke through the clouds and led tens of thousands of soldiers and horses out of the pass to meet the enemy. However, in the winter morning, there is still a trace of sadness. On the couch, the murderous wind lying down dripped tears that had not been seen for a long time. Blind, motionless. The military doctor Wu Ke couldn't bear to look at it directly, and motioned to retreat left and right, letting the tears of killing wind flow freely. There is too much sadness, grievance and unwillingness in these tears! In just a few months, Daming was defeated and embattled, and as the first warrior of Daming, Chongzhen used to be the most trusted person, and he was powerless to kill Feng at this time.
