In the verses and sayings from ancient times to the present, there is a certain truth in many of them.

For example, "the spring breeze blows and is born", such as "eighteen years later, he is a good man again", indicating that precious things can grow back after they are lost, including the first kiss.

You don't remember, I don't mention it, wiping your mouth is a new first kiss.

"Serve up, I'm hungry!"

After his mood relaxed, his expression returned to normal, Gu Qing put on a majestic posture, and sat at the table with a golden sword.

Huangfu Sisi gave him a blank look, turned and went into the kitchen.

Gu Qing pointed at Han Jie and said, "You, protect me every step of the way, and if you dare to derelict your duties, you will be hung on the flagpole to show the public, this is a military order, I will do what I say." ”

Han Jie was stunned, and finally realized that Gu Qing's words were true, so he nodded solemnly, and stood behind Gu Qing with a sword in one hand like a door god, looking around vigilantly, as serious as Erha.

After a long time, Han Jie couldn't help but ask: "What happened to Hou Ye that night, the last general was lost for several days after seeing Hou Ye return to the camp......"

Gu Qing said with a cold face: "I lost my chastity, do you think I should lose it?" ”

Han Jie was stunned for a moment, and saw that Gu Qing's expression was serious, and he couldn't tell whether it was true or false, so he said carefully: "What Hou Ye said is 'chastity', not 'festival'?" Chastity ...... for men What does this look like? ”

"Pink and tender, it hurts when you touch it......"

Han Jie blinked quickly, and still didn't form a picture for a long time, so he had to give up and sigh, and comforted him with empathy: "Master Hou doesn't have to be lost, when you want to lose your chastity at the end of the year......"

"Shut up, I'm not interested in your chastity, stand honestly and don't speak."

Gu Qing rubbed his face vigorously.

Suddenly I felt so tired, and the painting style of the group of guards below seemed to be crooked......

Soon, Huangfu Sisi brought a few dishes? While wiping his hands, he asked, "Does Master Hou want to drink?" ”

Gu Qing leaned back vigilantly: "Why do you want to drink?" What do you want? ”

Huangfu was stunned for a long time, and suddenly sneered, and his cheeks were suddenly dyed with a touch of red? Cover your mouth and turn around and run away.

It didn't take long? Huangfu Sisi suddenly ran back again? said: "The concubine has a friend who wants to see Master Hou, but I don't know ......"

"Nope!" Gu Qing replied stiffly.

Huangfu Sisi was choked and rolled his eyes: "Why don't you see it?" ”

"I just ate a few of your meals for nothing, can you care who you see and who you don't see?"

Huangfu Sisi sighed: "Hasn't Master Hou been looking for a clansman surnamed Zhaowu Jiu?" This friend of the concubine is a person surnamed Zhaowujiu? Years in exile in the Western Regions? Only now will we see the light of day. Are you sure you don't want to see him? ”

Gu Qing's action of raising chopsticks suddenly paused, and said: "Zhaowu Jiu's surnames are not necessarily all talents, most of them are mediocre people?" It's useless to see. ”

"This friend of the concubine was once rich and rivaled the country? At the peak of business? Most of the goods in the Western Regions were priced by him. ”

Gu Qing's eyelids jumped? Put down the chopsticks and said, "So?" Let's see. ”

Huangfu Sisi hesitated? said: "Master Hou, this friend of the concubine has the hatred of destroying the country and breaking the family, and it is inevitable that the officials of the Tang Dynasty will ...... You know, I hope that the Hou Ye will be considerate and don't worry about him. ”

Gu Qing said lightly: "It's okay?" Scold me a few words and I won't get angry? scolded so hard that it was a big deal to cut it with a knife? The talents in the world are not indispensable. ”

The emperor thinks about it? The edge that she had never seen before flashed from him, and she knew that Gu Qing didn't mean to scare people, in the land of Anxi? Gu Qing has the power to take it and take it, and a human life is nothing at all.

Turning around and returning to the backyard of the inn, Huangfu Sisi soon brought a middle-aged man.

The man has lived in the inn for the past few days and tidied up his appearance, his hair and clothes are no longer dirty and messy beggars, he has washed off the dirt and trimmed his beard, and changed into clean clothes, looking like a middle-aged elegant scribe with a good demeanor, but his eyes are still indifferent, and there is no trace of emotion.

Gu Qing sat still, looking at him calmly.

Walking quite manners, obviously with a good upbringing, the right elbow remains bent and does not move, the fingers unconsciously rub something, obviously was born in a rich and noble family, the fingers used to rub should be the jade pendant that is carried with him, when he walks, he looks ahead, not moved by the scenery on both sides, and his will is quite firm, and he belongs to a more stubborn type of people.

The first time they met, Gu Qing temporarily made a rough conclusion about him from his demeanor and demeanor.

The middle-aged man walked three steps in front of Gu Qing and stood still, bowed and said, "Kang Dingshuang, the person who lost the country, meet the deputy marshal Hou Gu of Qingcheng County in the Tang Dynasty." ”

"Kangding Shuang?" The corners of Gu Qing's mouth hooked, and he said with a smile: "If it is really a person with the surname Zhaowujiu, there is a proverb in the Western Regions: 'The thousand-year-old fox (Hu), surnamed Zhao surnamed Zhang; Five-hundred-year-old fox, surnamed Bai surnamed Kang', is a Kang countryman? ”

Kang Dingshuang said calmly: "Yes, I am not only a Kang countryman, but also the son of the Kang prince, my real name is Du Ji, my father Kang Guo is the lord of the country, Tianbao three years of the Tang Dynasty Son of Heaven has canonized my father as the king of Qinhua, Tianbao nine years, Anxi Jiedu made Gao Xianzhi destroy the stone country, my Kang country was also implicated, the family fled, my father died on the way, and Gao Xianzhi handed over the good news to Chang'an but called it 'breaking the nine kingdoms of Hu', the exile of the country, I really don't know where the crime comes from. ”

Gu Qing said lightly: "This question, you can go and ask Gao Xianzhi, don't ask me a questioning tone, I don't feel comfortable listening to it." ”

Kang Dingshuang took a deep breath, tried to calm his emotions, and bowed down and said, "Yes, I have no words in the next, please forgive the Hou Ye." ”

Gu Qing nodded and said: "I was dispatched by the Son of Heaven of the Tang Dynasty, and I only took office in Anxi a year ago, and what happened before I took office, whether it was grace or hatred, it has nothing to do with me, if your mind can't even figure out such a simple thing, it will be a waste of time for me to see you today, and you are not worthy of my meeting." ”

Kang Ding lowered his head and said: "I have figured it out below, everything has nothing to do with Hou Ye." Hou Ye issued a notice to issue a pardon order, and he was very kind to my Zhaowu Jiu surname, and I was grateful for it. ”

Gu Qing smiled and said: "There is no need to say nonsense, in fact, you know in your own heart that my pardon is what you Zhaowu Jiu deserve, for you, the officials of the Tang Dynasty are just correcting their previous mistakes, how can there be 'great grace'?" It's good if you don't turn around and ask Datang for compensation. Talking about gratitude, in fact, you don't have half a sense of gratitude in your heart, only full of unwillingness and hatred. ”

Kang Dingshuang was startled, and couldn't help but look up at Gu Qing.

With a word, he did what he thought in his heart, and Kang Dingshuang no longer dared to underestimate this young marquis.

At a young age, he was named a county marquis by the emperor of the Tang Dynasty, and there is no vanity under his fame, this young man is really a little poundy.

"Master Hou forgives his sins, and he will no longer deceive in the future, that's right, I only have unwillingness and hatred in my heart."

Gu Qing smiled again: "It's still the same sentence, if you want to take revenge and go to Gao Xianzhi, I won't carry this pot." If you want to do something other than revenge, you can find me for this, and we will sit down and talk calmly. ”

Kang Dingshuang hesitated for a moment, and suddenly bowed to Gu Qing and said, "Master Hou, this ceremony is to thank Hou Ye on behalf of the people surnamed Zhaowu Jiu, thank Hou Ye for the pardon decree issued by the Hou Ye, so that the people of the nine surnamed Zhaowu have seen the light of day since then." ”

Then Kang Ding straightened up, looked directly into Gu Qing's eyes, and said slowly: "This gift, I am grateful in my heart, and there is no falsehood at all." ”

Gu Qing smiled: "Okay, I believe you, sit down and drink with me." ”

Huangfu Sisi saw that the two of them were talking happily with each other, and couldn't help but glance at Gu Qing happily, and diligently helped the two of them fill up the wine.

Gu Qing saluted him with a cup and drank it all in one gulp.

Wiping his mouth, Gu Qing suddenly looked at Kang Dingshuang with interest and said, "If Gao Xianzhi were standing in front of you at this moment, and you happened to have a knife in your hand, what would you do?" ”

Kang Dingshuang said without hesitation: "Cut him with a knife, if there is enough time, I want to smash him Ling Chi with a knife to sacrifice the souls of the innocent clansmen surnamed Zhaowu Jiu in the sky." ”

"What about after the revenge? You killed the envoy of the Anxi Festival of the Tang Dynasty, and the pardon I issued will naturally be canceled, and from then on, the Tang Dynasty will definitely hunt down and kill the people with the nine surnames of Zhaowu, even if you chase to the ends of the earth, you will be exterminated, have you thought about these consequences? ”

"I thought about it, but I still have to do it. The enemy who does not share the sky does not dare to use the knife when he stands in front of him, he is a useless waste in this life, it is better to die than to live, so many pairs of innocent eyes are looking at me in the sky, waiting for me to slash the enemy, how can I let them down? Kang Dingshuang said as he spoke, his eyes were already full of tears, and his body trembled slightly.

Gu Qing sighed gloomily and let him vent his emotions.

After a long time, Kang Dingshuang sniffed hard and said with a forced smile: "For a moment, Master Hou smiled." ”

Gu Qing changed the topic and said, "I heard that you are very good at business, but a prince is still in business?" ”

Kangding Shuangdao: "Kangguo is different from the Tang Dynasty, the country is small and the people are widowed, there are not so many etiquette rules, it is said that it is a country, in fact, it is a family, my Kangguo is located between the Great Food and the Tang Dynasty, and the trade routes of the Western Regions have passed through the realm of my Kangguo for thousands of years, bustling with profits and profits, so almost all the people surnamed Zhaowu are businessmen, and the money that flows under their noses is not earned, isn't it a pity?" It is also normal for the prince to be in business. ”

"I heard that you were able to decide the price of goods in half of the Western Regions when you were in your prime, is it true?"

Kang Dingshuang smiled bitterly: "It's just a rumor, Kang is a small country with few people, and it is surrounded by big countries, how can I dare to decide the price of the goods?" Aren't you afraid of getting into trouble with the destruction of the country? ”

Gu Qing pondered for a long time, and said slowly: "Brother Kang, I don't care how to deal with your previous hatred, but I hope to help me for a few years before you take revenge, mainly to help me do business and make money, I don't know what Brother Kang wants?" ”

Kang Dingshuang was embarrassed and said: "Master Hou forgives the sin, it's not that Kang doesn't know how to lift, it's really ...... The nine surnames of Zhaowu can be seen in the sky, and I am busy gathering the nine surnamed clansmen and arranging the lives of the surviving clansmen, so I really have no time to care about other ......."

Gu Qing's eyes flashed, and he suddenly smiled: "How about making a deal between you and me?" ”

"What deal?"

"You help me for five years, you only need to help me do business and make money in these five years, after five years, I can ask the imperial court for the rehabilitation of the Zhaowu nine surnames, help the Zhaowu nine surnames to restore the country on the original territory and borders, and make every effort to promote the Tang Dynasty and the Zhaowu nine surnames to sign an alliance of inviolability, how about it?"
