After the group of more than 30 people had had enough wine and food, they returned to their respective rooms to rest. However, under Zhang Rong's instructions, everyone did not dare to sleep to death and remained vigilant at all times.

In the second half of the night, Wan Qing felt someone entering his room and stood up suddenly: "Who is it!?"

The man whispered in the darkness:

"Eunuch Wan, Mr. Zhang sent a young man to inform you that the thieves from the Royal Horse Prison have arrived at Shuntian Mansion! They are currently less than ten miles away from this inn."

Wan Qing came to his senses and quickly stood up and ordered:

"Get everyone up and ready now!"

"Yes!" The factory guard clasped his fists and prepared to leave.

"Wait!"

Wan Qing frowned and said coldly:

"Tell Mr. Zhang that when they come, don't act rashly and act according to the opportunity! Then send someone to sneak into the kitchen and put something in their food and drinks. After you take action, you can bring a few brothers to set fire to the chaos. The situation will get worse. Chaos is better for us."

"Yes! I understand."

For such sneaky things as secretly poisoning food and wine, their Dongchang team is second to none, and no one dares to claim first place, but it’s just easy to catch.

Looking at Fan Zi who hastily retreated, Wan Qing's face became full of hatred, and he squinted his eyes and said to himself fiercely:

"What our family loses will be taken back with my own hands! Those who betrayed our family, I will take back a thousandfold!"

. . .

But on the Royal Horse Supervisor's side, Duan Chengwu rode a tall horse and led a group of more than fifty people to gallop through the starry night.

After arriving at the boundary of Shuntian Mansion, the group was exhausted and in urgent need of rest.

At this time, Duan Chengwu planned to arrange for everyone to rest for one night at a secret post on the border of Shuntian Mansion, and then return to Beijing overnight the next day.

When he thought of the great contribution he had made to Eunuch Wu, the Royal Horse Supervisor, a smile appeared on Duan Chengwu's serious face.

As long as we have the relationship with Eunuch Wu, how can we not be happy that the thousand-year-old family of Jinyiwei finally has the hope of promotion?

Maybe I can still show my face in front of that prince. If I can please him, I'm afraid it won't be a problem to become a commander of the Royal Guards in the future!

Thinking of this, Duan Chengwu felt that he was full of strength again. The riding crop in his hand whipped the horse's butt excitedly, making the horse run faster due to the pain.

The people under his command had no choice but to bite the bullet and speed up to catch up.

Within half an hour, more than fifty horses from the Imperial Horse Guards arrived at the secret post.

Such a big movement surprised the shopkeeper who was immersed in planning. He immediately went out to greet him and asked with a smile:

"Are you guys going to eat in a small shop or stay overnight?"

Duan Chengwu didn't talk nonsense. After dismounting, he threw a token to the shopkeeper and ordered:

"I'll serve you some good wine and food. I'll stay here for one night. I'll have enough money!"

After taking the token and confirming its authenticity, the shopkeeper finally felt reassured and realized that the group of people in front of him were the ones he wanted to deal with.

Immediately he told the waiter: "Go and tell the chef, work hard to cook, don't treat these officials badly."

"Yes!" The waiter hurried to the kitchen.

The shopkeeper walked up to Duan Chengwu and bowed: "Are you Lord Duan Chengwu of Jin Yiwei Qianhu?"

Duan Chengwu raised his eyelids. In his heart, he didn't think highly of a small person like An Shao.

"It's me, what do you want?"

"My subordinate Liu Sanneng has met your Excellency."

"My lord, if you have important matters at hand, I would advise you not to drink alcohol," Liu Sanneng said tentatively.

"What the hell are you? You dare to point fingers at thousands of adults in my family? Believe it or not, I will chop you up!"

Before Duan Chengwu could say anything, the deputy on the side was full of displeasure and cursed, ready to roll up his sleeves and beat Liu Sanneng up.

"Why are you talking? Back off!" Duan Chengwu frowned.

The deputy immediately suppressed his words and did not dare to speak any more.

Liu Sanneng on the side had an embarrassed look on his face and was extremely speechless in his heart.

He was afraid that this group of people would cause trouble if they got drunk, or delay the affairs of the court, and he was afraid that he would be the first to take the blame.

That's why he had the courage to advise Duan Chengwu.

Duan Chengwu was also a little disgusted with Liu Sanneng's advice, and tried to keep the expression on his face gentle:

"Lord Liu, you are worrying too much. This Shuntian Mansion is at the feet of the Emperor. Who dares to cause trouble? It's okay for me and my brothers to drink some wine."

"When I return to Beijing, you will be equally indispensable for your fame and wealth!"

"These brothers under me are all rough people, please forgive me, Mr. Liu."

After saying that, he raised his wine bowl and drank it all in one gulp, then tasted the dishes that had just been served, without looking down on Liu Sanneng at all.

Although Liu Sanneng was quite embarrassed and angry, he immediately beamed with joy after hearing the four words "fame, fortune and wealth".

"Don't dare, don't dare, what did Mr. Duan say?"

"Xiao Zhang, give the officials some more jars of wine! How can you drink such a small amount of wine?" Liu Sanneng shouted at the waiter.

"Okay!" the waiter replied.

Isn't it just drinking? Since you like to drink, then drink as much as you can, I don’t care anymore!

Liu Sanneng was quite surprised. Didn't the previous group of Royal Horse Supervisors say they were here to take care of this group of adults? Why was there no movement at this moment?

He looked towards the second floor, but the group of people was quiet and there was no movement at all.

Duan Chengwu and his party were very drunk at this time, eating meat and drinking wine happily.

Duan Chengwu's deputy stood up, raised his wine bowl and toasted to Duan Chengwu with a smile:

"Master Duan, now that the great event has been accomplished, thanks to you, my brothers and I have a promising future. I would like to offer you a glass of wine, please do as you please!"
