(5,000 chapters to try?) Beijing, noon gate, noon. The two acquaintances, Kill Feng and Liu Qingfeng, stood on the point platform, holding the order flag, condescending. On the square under the stage, there were neatly standing brocade guards. There were about 2,000 men. Later, half of the people here will be selected to be sent to Shanhaiguan to maintain the last glory and honor of the Ming Dynasty, and at the same time, they will also go to the unknown and fear.

In the neat procession, the two were wandering in the army. Wherever their hands go, they are destined warriors.

"You, you, you ......"

"You, you, and your ......"

White Tiger and Suzaku are selecting elite soldiers.

There is no Jinyi guard standing here today who can't take it, but one in a hundred, the white tiger and the red bird are still carefully selected, especially the generals. Because this not only determines the defense line of the Ming Dynasty, but also one point, can Qinglong rely on this army to revive the majesty of the Jinyi Guard?

After selecting the generals and cadres, the white tiger and the red bird returned to the point of resuming his life.

"My lord, Suzaku and I have already chosen our men and horses, and we are waiting for your lordship!" The white tiger shouted.

"Okay, the final soldier listens to the order, it is your glory to be chosen, not chosen, there are more difficult tasks waiting for you in the west, no matter where you are assigned, you will remember to me, you will always be the pride of the Ming Dynasty! Strengthen me! Seeing that the formation in the audience was so orderly, no one was not excited, Liu Qingfeng held the order flag and shouted loudly.

As soon as Liu Qingfeng's voice fell, the audience suddenly boiled, "Strengthen my Daming!" Strengthen me! Strengthen me! ……”

In today's precarious Ming Dynasty, such a voice is the most moving. Liu Qingfeng smiled heartily and glanced at Killing Feng, and the two nodded. Killing Wind raised the command flag and shouted in a low but penetrating voice, "Go! ”

The two generals led by the White Tiger Suzaku clasped their fists and led a thousand men and horses to Shanhaiguan to help Zhu Qing!

Not long after the defenders of Shanhaiguan left, an urgent message came from the west, and Li Zicheng had already attacked Yumen Pass! Sun Chuanting, who was training soldiers and horses in the Guan, heard this and scolded, "Good you are a congratulatory dragon!" Let the bandits be so arrogant! Sun Chuanting took the case, glared angrily at the Yumen Pass, outside the gate, and the sunset was like blood.

Also in danger with Yumen Pass is Shanhaiguan, which has been empty for many days, no one has time to take care of it, and it is already a mixture of fish and dragons.

Hearing this, Guan Wai Guan Ning, Wu Sangui couldn't sit still anymore, although the letter was only sent out for a day, but for Wu Sangui, it was a veritable every three autumns. When he heard that Shanhaiguan was forcibly occupied by bandits and collected money, Wu Sangui was even more anxious.

He paced back and forth in the tent, and finally couldn't help it, and yelled, "Hu Wei listens to orders!" ”

"The last general!" Hu Wei knelt down, his heart was surging, waiting for Wu Sangui to entrust him with a heavy responsibility.

"Shanhaiguan can't wait any longer. Ben Shuai ordered you to gather 2,000 elite soldiers and garrison Shanhaiguan! Wu Sangui ordered.

"The last will obey." With great joy in his heart, he stood up with his fists clenched and full of ambition.

Suddenly, there was the sound of horses' hooves outside the tent.

"Report ......" A communications soldier got off his horse and quickly came to report.

"Great, the appointment has finally come down." Wu Sangui was overjoyed.

"Report to the marshal, the ambassador of the capital is here to investigate." The messenger bowed.

"What? Beijing Ambassador? This was a big surprise to Wu Sangui, but he quickly came back to his senses. Then he rested and said, "Quick, go and meet the ambassador!" After speaking, he led all the soldiers out of the account to greet the ambassador of the capital.

Sure enough, I met the ambassador of the capital outside the tent. Wu Sangui took the lead in saluting, "Wu Jiajun greets the ambassador!" ”

"The king of loyalty and filial piety is exempt. You suppressed the rebellion at Shanhaiguan, the emperor already knew about it, and sent this ambassador to reward the three armies! Wu Sangui, the king of loyalty and filial piety, received the decree...... "Just called people to be exempted, and asked people to receive the decree, this Beijing ambassador is really a bit funny, but since it is the emperor's decree, how can there be no bowing ceremony, worship." Wu Sangui had no choice but to lead the soldiers to kneel down and accept the order.

"Fengtian carrier, the emperor edict said, the loyal and filial king Wu Sangui has made meritorious contributions to quelling the rebellion, and he will be rewarded with a thousand quintals of grain, a hundred altars of fine wine, and three jars of meat to reward the three armies, and admire this!" After the ambassador of the capital finished reading, he handed the holy decree to Wu Sangui. Wu Sangui didn't answer, muttering something in his mouth. The ambassador of the capital was not happy, he was still thinking about Wu Sangui's good, but seeing that he was snubbing himself at the moment, his tone became arrogant, "What? Is King Zhongxiao trying to resist the decree? ”

As soon as these words came out, Wu Sangui hurriedly trembled, "The minister doesn't dare, the minister just wants to ask, that's all?" ”

"That's all." The ambassador of the capital walked and said wholeheartedly.

"Then, that Shanhaiguan ......" Wu Sangui didn't finish his words.

Everyone understands people, and the ambassador of the capital will not go around the bend with Wu Sangui. coughed and smiled slightly, "Oh, this, this, that, that does have a holy decree, but it's not for you, you better take this one first." ”

Listening to the words of the ambassador of the capital, Hu Wei, who was beside Wu Sangui, was secretly happy in his heart, thinking that he was talking about him. Looking at Wu Sangui again, he also thought that his recital had worked, so he hurriedly said, "Thank you, Lord Longen." ”

However, after thanking him for a long time, the ambassador of the capital did not read the second holy decree. Wu Sangui was in a hurry. He asked, "My lord, this ......, you have read the second holy decree?" ”

"Don't be in a hurry, the official will naturally announce it when it's time to announce it. By the way, that, what about the green dragon? The Beijing ambassador asked rhetorically.

"Lord Qiyu, Qinglong is resting in the camp in order to take the head of the traitor, and he is now resting in the camp." At this time, Zhang Fa on the side said.

"Oh? Qinglong is injured? Quick, take the official to take a look. The ambassador of the capital said, turned around and walked out of Wu Sangui's camp. Wu Sangui had no choice but to lead the ambassador of the capital to the camp of the wounded.

"Qinglong, the ambassador of the capital has come to see you." Zhang Fa muttered in Qinglong's ear. Zhu Qing, who was still recuperating with his eyes closed, suddenly woke up, the ambassador of the capital, that is simply the emperor's stand-in, who dares to slack off? Besides, when people come to see themselves, they can't always talk about it. So Zhu Qing not only woke up, but also sat up. Judging by his movements, the injury was no longer serious. Rest for a few days and recover.

Seeing that Zhu Qing's complexion was much better, the Beijing ambassador nodded. Then he took out a roll of yellow cloth from his sleeve, which was the second holy decree.

"The Divine Decree has arrived!" As soon as these three words came out, everyone in the tent had to bow down and be subordinate, and Zhu Qing was naturally no exception, but there were still many inconveniences due to the injuries on his body, so Zhang Fa supported him.

"Jinyi Wei Qinglong takes the order!" Hearing this, Wu Sangui suddenly felt bad, and he scolded Zhang Fa, "Hmph, escort officer, does he need someone to help him?" ”

Zhang Fa was in a dilemma now, Zhu Qing naturally knew Zhang Fa's difficulties, and he also knew what Wu Sangui meant. He forced a smile, let go of his hand, and said, "My lord, it doesn't matter. ”

As he spoke, he endured the pain and knelt down to accept the order.

"Fengtian carrier, the emperor said: Shanhaiguan is the lifeblood of the Ming Dynasty, the former stationmaster treason to the enemy, Qinglong has merit in eliminating chaos, merit is greater than fault, all the blame is not only not blamed in the past, but also the Shanhaiguan guards, commanding a thousand elite soldiers, guarding Shanhaiguan, there must be no mistakes! Chin this! ”

"Qinglong thank you, Lord Longen!" Zhu Qing never expected that things would take such a turn. As unexpected as him were Wu Sangui, Hu Wei, and, of course, Zhang Fa.

After Qinglong received the order, Zhang Fa did not help him up again.

"Qinglong, the emperor trusts you and gives you a heavy responsibility, you can't live up to the emperor's grace." The ambassador of the capital advised.

"Qinglong should do his best to protect Shanhaiguan and Daming." Zhu Qing took the holy decree and said firmly.

"Hmph, try to protect Daming? What a big breath! Seeing Zhu Qing grabbing the credit, Hu Wei was naturally dissatisfied and complained.

The ambassador of the capital heard the meaning, smiled slightly, walked to Hu Wei's side, and patted Hu Wei's shoulder, "General Hu Wei, I won't tell you, the emperor was indeed difficult to choose between you and Qinglong, and then thought that the front line of the Ming Dynasty is inseparable from General Hu Wei, so the most important task was left to General Hu Wei, as long as the front line is not broken, the Ming Dynasty can be saved, Wu Dashuai, are you right when you say this official?" The ambassador of the capital said, turning to Wu Sangui, who was suffocated.

The ambassador of the capital is eloquent, otherwise how can he be an ambassador, so Wu Sangui and Hu Wei can only endure it first, even if they have great grievances.

"Okay, everyone is for Daming. Don't worry about everything, the emperor knows everyone's merits. I will not disgrace you. Qinglong, the 1,000 elite soldiers have been led by the White Tiger Vermilion Bird to Shanhaiguan, and it is estimated that it will be almost there. After a few more days of rest, you will return to Shanhaiguan to have a look. The Beijing ambassador said to Zhu Qing.

"My lord, I'm afraid this won't work, didn't you say? Shanhaiguan is the lifeblood of my Ming Dynasty, it can't be delayed for a day, and Qinglong's injury has healed, so I think it's better to start immediately. Wu Sangui suddenly said.

"This ......" The ambassador of the capital knew that if he favored Zhu Qing again, he was afraid that he would provoke Wu Sangui, so he glanced at Zhu Qing.

Zhu Qing naturally understood, he smiled slightly, puffed up his chest, and said to the ambassador of the capital, "The marshal is right, Qinglong should set off immediately and fulfill the emperor's order." ”

"Good. Then go back with the official, it's safe, and the official can go back to the emperor on an errand. The minister of the capital said.

"My lord, this is leaving? Stay a few more days? So that Ben Shuai can do a little bit of the friendship of the landlord? Wu Sangui said politely.

"Hmph, Dashuai, you just said that Shanhaiguan is urgent, how dare this official delay, I have taken my leave, and I have a chance to have a few more drinks with King Zhongxiao."

"Good. That handsome send off the ambassador. Wu Sangui said, but did not move, this sentence is more ironic than "don't send".

The ambassador of the capital naturally knew that he had no intention of staying longer, and would only bring humiliation on himself, so he walked into the carriage with a smile. Suddenly, he turned around and said to Zhang Fa, "Escort officer, aren't you going back to the criminal department?" ”

Zhang Fawei promised, he didn't know how to answer for a while, the criminal department promised that as long as he worked hard to do good things in the past two years and became familiar with this line, Shanhaiguan would definitely give him a piece of the pie, but now.

"My lord, if you don't give up, can you stay in Shanhaiguan and guard the customs with Zhu Qing?" Zhu Qing knew very well in his heart that Zhang Fa had taken care of himself all the way, if he hadn't had him, I'm afraid he would ......

"Heh, Lord Qinglong, don't make fun of the little one, I'm just an escort officer, how dare I climb high. Zhang Fa's life is hard, so he will still mess with those scum in the Criminal Department. Zhang Fa's heart is fragile, but no one can help him, he can only rely on himself.

"So, let's go?" The ambassador shook his head at Zhang Fa and motioned for him to get into the carriage.

Zhang Fa walked in front of Zhu Qing, his face was not as cordial as before.

Zhu Qing shook his head and sighed, he didn't expect that he would offend so many people as a Shanhaiguan guard, he finally understood a little bit of the master's bitterness in killing the wind. However, the emperor's order is hard to disobey!

"Come on, match the horse for General Qinglong!" Seeing Zhu Qing leave one by one, Wu Sangui sneered and ordered.

If it was in the past, Zhu Qing would definitely be grateful to Wu Sangui. But at this moment, his heart trembled, Wu Sangui was uneasy and kind!

He obviously knew that Zhu Qing's knife wound had just recovered, but he let him ride a horse, didn't he want Zhu Qing's wound to crack? Zhu Qing has not never had such a lesson.

However, Zhu Qing couldn't refuse Wu Sangui, because he really needed to rush to Shanhaiguan as soon as possible. In addition to rushing back to guard the pass, he also had to have a good chat with the White Tiger Suzaku, talk about their affection, talk about the things in the pass these days, and perhaps, ask Chen Yuanyuan.

However, when one of the guards led a horse in front of Zhu Qing, Wu Sangui and Hu Wei both laughed. Because, this is a fierce horse, it is said to be the strongest horse in the barracks, it was given by that Daoist Zhang, and no one has tamed it so far!

Zhu Qing knew that Wu Sangui intended to make things difficult for himself. He could have ignored it, but Jin Yiwei's bloody nature and the so-called "Central Plains incompetence" deeply stimulated him.

Zhu Qing smiled. Take the reins from the guards. A stride and a fierce horse.

As soon as Zhu Qing stepped on the horse, its mane stood up, raised its hooves and neighed vigorously to shake the horse's head, Zhu Qing felt that the reins in his hand were about to be torn off. But he can't give up at the moment, he has no way out, if he can't train the fierce horse, he will be thrown off by the horse and trampled to death. So Zhu Qing clamped the horse's back with his feet, tightened the reins, and grabbed the horse's neck, only to hear him roar angrily, "Drive!" And the fiery horse galloped away, as if it had escaped from the reins. As long as the horse doesn't throw Zhu Qing off, Zhu Qing is afraid of him running, because speed is a desire and a pursuit for Zhu Qing, just like when he practiced parkour.

The fierce horse carried Zhu Qing and galloped around the prairie a few times, Zhu Qing gradually figured out the temper of the fierce horse, only to see that he suddenly "......" a long roar, holding the reins, the fierce horse immediately stopped, raised his head and neighed. There is no temper and wildness just now, but there is an extra sense of belonging. Just like the heroic posture of the hero riding a horse in the sunset.

Holding the reins of the horse, Zhu Qing jumped off the horse's back, and he suddenly felt a sharp pain in his waist, and he didn't dare to look at it, because Wu Sangui and Hu Wei were watching him.

At this moment, Zhu Qing couldn't expose his weaknesses. He had no choice but to endure the pain, hold the horse's ass, and come to Wu Sangui with a smile on his face.

"It's said that Qinglong is good, but I didn't expect this fierce horse that no one can train to be conquered by you, it's really powerful. Anyway, since you conquered him, Ben Shuai will give you this horse, and the fierce horse is a hero! Wu Sangui laughed. I don't know if this laugh is true or not. But when he said this, his eyes kept staring at Zhu Qing's waist. Thankfully, he didn't find anything there that he wanted to see.

"Thank you for your love. Zhu Qing also thinks this horse is very good. But Zhu Qing heard that this horse was a congratulatory gift from Zhang Jushi to the marshal on his fiftieth birthday. No matter how much Zhu Qing loves it, he must not take away people's favor. Besides, Zhu Qing has his own love horse. Zhu Qing said, pointing to a white horse next to the camp, which was Princess Ning'er's Feilu who Zhu Qing rode back from Shanhaiguan the night before.

"Oh? Isn't my horse as good as that? Wu Sangui asked suspiciously.

Zhu Qing shook his head and smiled slightly, "It's not for this reason, every horse has its own strengths and personality, the handsome should know that horses are the most human, in turn, those who really love horses must also understand horses, this is the so-called feelings." Although I have tamed your red-maned horse, you should know that if it weren't for Fei Lu, I, Zhu Qing, might not have been able to come back the night before. So ......"

"You don't have to say it. Ben Shuai now knows why so many people support you. Let's go. If I Guan Ning really can't stand it anymore, I hope that General Shanhai will be contained by then. Wu Sangui's words can be regarded as polite or clichéd, in short, Zhu Qing was particularly touched after hearing it, because at this time, they are still like that!

Zhu Qing nodded, stroked the forehead of the red-maned fierce horse, smiled a little reluctantly, handed the reins to the guard, and walked straight to Feilu.

Zhu Qing rode on Feilu, followed the rut of the ambassador of the capital, and rushed away towards the sunset.

It wasn't until Guan Ning's tents withdrew from Zhu Qing's sight one by one that he slowly stopped. He tore open the wound and saw that the clothes inside had been dyed red, and a bright red cut was cracked, this was the price of his conquest of the red-maned fiery horse, but this price, compared to life, was no longer a matter. If he hadn't conquered the red-maned fiery horse, he would have been on the list of dead at this moment.

Zhu Qing endured it, but he still slowly lay on the horse's back, and let Feilu carry himself to Shanhaiguan, perhaps, Feilu had been tamed by Zhu Qing, perhaps, it just missed Princess Ning'er, the hostess who came to Shanhaiguan with it the night before.

The sun gradually receded, and the carriage of the minister of the capital and Zhang Fa and his party drove into Shanhaiguan before dark. The White Tiger Vermilion Bird greeted the driver, but when they didn't see Zhu Qing, they anxiously asked the minister of the capital, "Where is Brother Qinglong?" ”

The ambassador of the capital shook his head with a smile, "There are some things that he needs to face alone. ”

This sentence made Baihu and Suzaku have an ominous premonition in their hearts, and the two were about to go out of the customs to find out, but they were unexpectedly stopped by the ambassador, "Come back, no one is allowed to go out of the customs without my order!" ”

"What if Qinglong has three longs and two shorts?" White Tiger asked.

"If he can't stand this kind of thing, how can he rest assured that Shanhaiguan will be handed over to him?" The ambassador said without looking back.

"That's what you say as an ambassador?" Suzaku was unwilling.

"That's what the emperor said......," the ambassador said, facing south and clasping his fists.

No one in Shanhaiguan dared to say a word again.

At this time, outside Shanhaiguan, taking advantage of the afterglow of the last sunset, a white dove landed on Wu Sangui's camp tent and made a strange call.
