Chapter 344: Fellow Villagers Reunited
After Ge Shuhan led his troops away, Shen Tian ordered the bandits to be surrounded.
The bandits also saw the situation clearly at this time, and neither the number nor the fighting quality could be compared with the Anxi Army of the Tang Dynasty, so they simply threw their weapons and sat on the ground with their heads in their hands, looking like they loved it.
Shen Tian frowned and looked at the hundreds of people in front of him, before encircling and annihilating the bandits, he received two orders from Gu Qing, one was to wipe out the bandits and leave no prisoners, and the other was to pay attention to the surname Zhaowu Jiu, if there was someone surnamed Zhaowu Jiu among them, capture him alive.
"Are there any of you with the surname Zhaowu Jiu?" Shen Tian asked in a deep voice.
No one in the crowd of bandits squeaked.
"Is there anyone with the surname Zhaowu Jiu? If not, kill them all. Shen Tian asked again.
As soon as he heard that all of them had been killed, several of the bandits suddenly stood up, their legs trembling and looking at him timidly.
Shen Tian frowned: "Are you from the Zhaowu Nine clan?" β
A young man in his twenties said, "Yes, the general spares his life......"
Shen Tian didn't understand why Gu Qing wanted to spare the lives of the people surnamed Zhaowu, he was a typical soldier, and soldiers only knew how to obey military orders.
So Shen Tian waved his hand, and the guards stepped forward and dragged a few people surnamed Zhaowu Jiu out of the crowd of bandits, looking at the remaining bandits, Shen Tian said coldly: "Kill them all, and leave no one behind." β
The halberds burst out, and blood splattered.
Shen Tian led the people surnamed Zhaowu Jiu to leave without looking back.

Turtle City.
A caravan of about fifty people led the camels and walked leisurely into the city gates.
A young man in his twenties looked around curiously and said excitedly: "Uncle, we have arrived at Qiuzi City, Brother Gu's Qiuzi City!" β
A sturdy middle-aged man in his forties reprimanded: "Don't talk nonsense! What 'Brother Gu's Qiuci City' is the Qiuci City of the imperial court! Trouble comes from the mouth, don't make trouble for your brother Gu. β
The young man smiled.
This caravan came from Shiqiao Village, when Gu Qing ordered the construction of a bazaar, and asked Li Sima to leave four shops with the best locations in the porcelain bazaar, which were prepared for the villagers of Shiqiao Village.
After receiving Gu Qing's letter, Feng Aweng asked the whole village to burn the kiln day and night, and built two more kilns, which took a few months to finally burn a large number of new porcelain of good quality.
The middle-aged man who led the team was also surnamed Feng, named Feng Shu, was Feng Aweng's nephew, and the young man was named Wei Shen.
Feng Shu and Wei Shen led the caravan into the city, walking on the crowded street, Wei Shen praised: "I didn't expect that there is such a prosperous scene in the border city outside the Guanwai, uncle, this is more prosperous than our Qingcheng County." β
Feng Shu said with a smile: "Huaiyu wrote from Chang'an that Gu Hou Ye did a good job in Qiuci City, originally Qiuci was just a desolate border city, after Gu Hou Ye came, he made a big move to expand the city and build the city, and issued many new policies, so Qiuci City has the scene it is today." β
"Your brother Gu is really not a thing in the pool, fortunately he came out of Shiqiao Village, otherwise he would have delayed his ability in vain, Wei Shen, you have to learn more from Gu Houye, and learning a little fur is enough for you to be rich and prosperous in your life."
Wei Shen smiled: "I can't even read, and this life is probably just a hard life, so I can only count on my son." β
The caravan was walking on the street, but he didn't know where to find Gu Qing, Feng Shu was a little hesitant and stood in place hesitating.
Not far from the intersection is the Fuzhi Inn, Huangfu Sisi sat bored by the door, chewing the dried fruits sent by Hu Shang in the Western Regions, seeing a caravan of fifty people on the street stopped motionless in the center of the road, Huangfu Sisi observed for a while, and said loudly: "Hey, you, what about you!" Mo stopped in the middle of the road, and was seen by the unity soldiers patrolling the street, and inevitably reprimanded. β
Feng Shu and the others hurriedly made way out, and everyone led the camels to avoid the roadside.
Feng Shu saw that someone was taking care of them, so he stepped forward and smiled, and said, "This girl, I'm bothered." The old man wants to ask you about personal ......"
Huangfu Sisi smiled and said: "Let's say, I know most of the people who have lived in Qiuzi City for a long time, who do you want to inquire about?" β
Feng Shu hesitated for a moment and said, "Does the girl know Gu Qing?" He is...... Well, the deputy envoy of Jiedu, he is still a marquis, and I heard that he is in Qiuzi City. β
Huangfu Sisi's eyes lit up, then he looked at Feng Shu seriously, and asked without answering, "This elder, who are you Gu Qing?" β
Feng Shu heard that there seemed to be a joke, and hurriedly said: "The old man is Gu Qing's fellow villager, and he wrote to us to bring us here for this caravan, and we will do business in Qiuzi City in the future." β
Huangfu Sisi suddenly understood, and said more and more politely: "Gu Hou Ye is not in the city, he usually lives in the handsome tent of the garrison camp outside the city, and ordinary people are not allowed to enter the camp, if the elders don't dislike it, they might as well come to the concubine's small shop to rest and eat, and stop the concubine for a while and send a guy to the big camp to report to Gu Hou Ye, Hou Ye will definitely come as soon as possible after getting the news." β
Feng Shu hurriedly thanked him, then glanced hesitantly at the inn, and hesitated: "We are about fifty people, how much silver do we need to eat?" The girl's shop doesn't look cheap......"
Huangfu Si Siyan smiled and said: "Don't ask for money, don't hide it from the elders, the concubine is friends with Gu Houye, and Hou Ye often comes to my store to eat, he has never given money, but he wants me to paste it upside down......"
Feng Shu said in surprise: "Huh? Gu Qing ...... It's not like a person who eats and drinks for nothing, how can he be like this, don't worry, girl, I will definitely teach him a lesson when I see Gu Qing, although he is now a high-ranking official, but he also has to call me an uncle in the village......"
Huangfu Sisi took the opportunity to change his words, and said with a smile: "Uncle don't worry, what is not money, the concubine and Gu Qing are playing, where do friends care about this, Hou Ye has also helped me a lot on weekdays, and it is already my honor to be able to eat in the concubine's small shop." β
Feng Shu seemed to notice something, looked at her seriously, and saw her hibiscus jade face, charming as a flower, his heart couldn't help but tighten, and asked tentatively: "Girl and Gu Qing...... Just friends? β
Huangfu Sisi smiled: "It's a friend." β
Feng Shu nodded, and also smiled, his smile was honest and harmless, like an old farmer who had never seen the world.
"Hello friends, hehe, maybe it won't be long before Gu Qing's fiancΓ©e will come, Miss Huaiyu is a good girl who is not inferior to her eyebrows, you and Huaiyu will definitely be friends."
Huangfu Sisi's face changed immediately, and then his heart was sad.
What kind of charm does this woman named Huaiyu have, last time the two little townsmen told her meaningfully that Huaiyu was Gu Qing's fiancΓ©e, and today a fellow villager told her the same thing, although she didn't say it directly, but Huangfu Sisi could see Gu Qing's fellow villagers defending Huaiyu, they were afraid that someone would rob Huaiyu's fiancΓ©e of the position, and they formed a protective circle to protect this woman.
So, how deep is Gu Qing's affection for Huaiyu?
In the evening, Gu Qing hurried to the inn from the camp outside the city.
Seeing Feng Shu and Wei Shen, Gu Qing was extremely happy, and the three of them got together, had a happy meeting, and said goodbye to the future.
Huangfu Sisi was busy diligently, personally cooking for everyone, and the camels outside the door also had men carrying fine forage to feed.
"Uncle Feng, come here and live with peace of mind, I have made you four shops with the best location in Qiuci City, and in the future, the porcelain burned in the village, except for a part of it will be sent to Chang'an Xingqing Palace as a tribute, and at least half of the remaining will be transported to Qiuci City, and the profit from selling porcelain here is two or three times higher than that in Datang Pass, which is a huge profit."
Feng Shu nodded and smiled: "Since you are here, I will naturally listen to your arrangement, I heard that you are doing well in Anxi, I heard those guests talk about Qiuzi City in the inn, and they mentioned you in and out of the words, Gu Qing, you have a great ability." β
At a glance, seeing Huangfu Sisi who was busy behind the front hall, Feng Shu pursed his mouth and said, "Where did that girl come from?" It's not just a friend with you, right? β
Gu Qing said: "Of course, it's not just a friend. β
"Oh? She's your ......."
"She is a creditor, a cook, and an aunt in the canteen, so she can't be offended, if she offends an aunt, her hands will tremble when she eats."
Feng Shu smiled and said: "You, you are all the Hou Ye, why are you still so unserious when you speak, just like when you were in the village, you have to be an official more decently, don't lose your official etiquette." β
Then Feng Shu said: "No matter what your relationship with her is, don't forget Miss Huaiyu, she is your wife." I know that it doesn't matter how many concubines you marry, but Miss Huaiyu must be the main room, if you are a thin lover, the whole village will point at your backbone and scold. β
Gu Qing sighed: "Uncle, don't worry, my wife must be Huaiyu, it can't be someone else." When it's over, I'll ......"
Halfway through the words, Gu Qing couldn't go on.
"It's here", how can it be here?
An Lushan saw that he was going to rebel, and from then on the world was in turmoil, Gu Qing would inevitably lead the army to fight the world, it was not easy for him and Zhang Huaiyu to even meet once, how difficult it was to get married.

Chang'an City, Yang Guozhong's residence.
After Yang Guozhong worshiped the right minister, the atmosphere of the court changed greatly.
In the past, when Li Linfu was in power, he consulted with his ministers on court affairs, but when he came to Yang Guozhong, he had a monopoly on power and rarely had the habit of discussing with others, even Chen Xilie, the left minister, and Yang Guozhong did not give much face.
Once to discuss the list of officials to fill vacancies in the DPRK and China, Chen Xilie just put on a posture of discussion, who knew that Yang Guozhong glanced at the list and said, "The left and right are there, and the matter is also in the middle of the matter, and the matter should have been passed through the door", after speaking, Yang Guozhong arranged the list at will according to the level of seniority, and the list of officials was set in less than a stick of incense.
was so angry that Chen Xilie was speechless for a long time.
Such a hasty style of acting shows how stupid and mentally retarded he is.
At this moment today, in front of Yang Guozhong is a letter from Gu Qing and ten large boxes neatly arranged in front of the hall.
