Chapter 278: Born with a Skill
Li Longji in his later years was by no means a qualified boss, conceited, suspicious, unkind, and stupid, he had all the bad problems of the emperor, and he was really alone.
A lonely man is not without friends, but from the bottom of his heart he does not want to trust anyone, he always has persecution paranoia, and always feels that the people around him will rebel against him at any time, so he takes out the cold means to treat the enemy to treat his courtiers and blood relatives.
The so-called "holy family" is just an appearance, no matter how warm and cordial it is on the surface, it is just a performance after all, and only he knows best how long the life-saving grace has in Li Longji's heart.
Bian Lingcheng was not weak in courage tonight, much stronger than the last time he saw him, although his words were still respectful and polite, Gu Qing still heard a hint of confrontation.
So, did Li Longji secretly give him some will? Give a secret order to a prison army far away on the border, what else can the content be besides monitoring and containment?
Gu Qing smiled even brighter.
The four towns of Anxi are really lively, and there are actually three forces in the envoy of a festival, Gao Xianzhi, Bian Lingcheng, and Gu Qing.
Originally, he planned to sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight, watching Gao Xianzhi and Bian Lingcheng fight, while Gu Qing sat on the fisherman's profits, but now it seems that the situation has changed, and Bian Lingcheng seems to have the intention of forcibly pulling him into the battle.
I have to say that Li Longji is really a good means, Chang'an, which is thousands of miles away, can actually turn over the clouds and rain to affect the balance of the Anxi Jiedu Embassy, even if Gu Qing doesn't want to participate in the battle, he can force Gu Qing to participate, and Bian Lingcheng's chess piece can be regarded as making the best use of everything.
Now that the situation in Anxi has changed, Gu Qing's plan must also change.
After the banquet was dispersed, Bian Lingcheng and the generals said goodbye to Gu Qing and left, and before leaving, Lingcheng smiled in Gu Qing's ear and said a word.
"The slave is willing to serve the marquis as the lord of Anxi."
Gu Qing smiled and refused, pure masters do not associate with dead eunuchs.
After everyone left, Gu Qing was still sitting at the table, drinking alone.
"Hanjie ......"
"The end will be."
"Send someone to invite Marshal Gao Jieshuai to come to the Left Guard Battalion tomorrow for a military parade."
"Yes."
In the front hall of the inn, Gu Qing poured a glass of wine cross-legged, looking at the amber wine in the wine glass, his expression fell into a daze.
I thought that after leaving Chang'an, I would be unfettered, but after coming to Anxi, I was still in a mess of battles.
Time is getting more and more urgent, Gu Qing has a lot of things to do, but now he still has to devote a lot of energy to deal with these internal contradictions, that is about to affect the entire Tang Dynasty, seeing that it is getting closer and closer, if the war comes, with Gu Qing's weight in Anxi now, he can only use the 10,000 horses of the left guard, what role can this man and horse play in blocking the rebels in Guanzhong?
In just over two years, he has come to this position, is the future just over here?
After drinking a glass of wine alone, Gu Qing was already a little drunk, and lowered his head and whispered: "The young man is drunk in the countryside, it is easy to let go and return in spring...... Don't compare your sorrow to flying flowers, there are countless flowers and countless sorrows. β
Behind Gu Qing, Huangfu Sisi's quiet footsteps suddenly stopped, his eyes flashed, and he muttered this poem silently, and then the corners of his mouth twitched, and his charming eyes rose a little dim.
"He is worthy of being a talent, the long and short sentences are particularly sultry, the deputy envoy of the official worship festival, the marquis of the county, he is already so prominent in his twenties, he ...... What's there to worry about? β
The guests all left, leaving only Gu Qing alone, Huangfu Sisi originally wanted to come over to Shi Meiren to tease this marquis, but after hearing Gu Qing's long and short sentences, Huangfu Sisi suddenly changed his mind.
In addition to beauty, women's sharp weapons also have gentle interpretations, and sometimes a thoughtful and caring word can capture a man's heart more than beauty.
Turning around and taking a pot of wine, Huangfu Sisi sat opposite Gu Qing, poured himself a glass of wine, saluted Gu Qing, and then drank it all with his neck up, Gu Qing only saw her neck as white as jade, like a white swan singing to the sky.
"Master Hou drinks alone, don't you feel bored? Can the concubine have the honor to have a drink with you? Huangfu Si Si smiled and said.
Gu Qing pondered for a moment, and said slowly: "People like you belong to a very despicable type of drinker at the wine table, you don't move when everyone at the table is drinking, and when everyone is almost drunk, you jump out to salute this and that, and let go of the table, this is a stone, girl, you shouldn't have any friends, right?" β
Huangfu Sisi was stunned, stupidly lowered his head and looked at his wine glass, and then looked at Gu Qing.
It's really hard to talk to this Hou Ye, he ...... How did you come up with this aspect? Good Qingqi thinking.
Han Jie, who was behind Gu Qing, suddenly sighed and walked out without saying a word.
"If the Hou Ye is drunk, if he doesn't drink, the concubine doesn't force it." Huangfu Sisi said helplessly.
Gu Qing sneered: "It's nice to say, at the wine table, if you say 'I'll toast you are free', how many people who are respected are really embarrassed to be 'casual'?" For the sake of face, I am going to die drunk, and the people who say that you don't drink are actually people with bad intentions who retreat as advances......"
Huangfu Sisi looked at him stunned.
Is this Hou Ye a natural bar spirit?
"Master Hou, the concubine doesn't drink anymore, you and I don't drink, so let's just sit and talk?" Huangfu Sisi swallowed his anger and compromised.
Gu Qing snorted and said, "The two of them sit stupidly facing each other and don't do anything, is it enlightenment or meditation?" Why should I waste my time with a strange woman? β
Huangfu Sisi took a deep breath.
It seems like...... I can't help it.
As the female shopkeeper of the inn, dealing with the merchants from the south to the north all day long, the temper of Huangfu Sisi can not be too supple, and when she meets the merchants who know the number of etiquette, she will show her charming style to retain the hearts of the guests, if she encounters unreasonable merchants, she will show another pungent face, overwhelming the other party in momentum.
At this moment, Huangfu Sisi can't help but get angry, what a beauty trick, what kind of seducing a man, what is special, is the Hou Ye amazing? The old lady is out of the way!
Bang!
Huangfu Sisi slapped the table violently, stepped on the table in front of Gu Qing with one leg, revealing the slender flower shoes embroidered with lotus green edges under the skirt, and shouted angrily with apricot eyes: "Left is not, right is not right, do you drink or not?" If you don't drink, get out, it's late at night, the shop is about to close, if you want to drink, how much do I drink, how much do you drink, so much nonsense, is Hou Ye an official who is promoted by his mouth? In a word, hurry up, drink or not? β
Gu Qing was taken aback and didn't come back to his senses for a long time.
Outside the door, Han Jie and the guards heard the movement and rushed in one after another, seeing Huangfu Sisi stepping on the table and glaring at Gu Qing with a fierce face, Gu Qing was dumbfounded, looking like he had seen a ghost, seeing this scene in front of him, Han Jie's eyes flashed, this ...... Is it flirting?
So Han Jie pretended not to see anything, and decisively turned his head and beckoned the guards to go out.
Gu Qing saw Han Jie and the guards coming in and out, and couldn't help but be anxious: "Don't go!" Beat her to death! β
Han Jie and the guards didn't seem to hear it.
Gu Qing was helpless, pointed at her and said ruthlessly: "You...... Wait for me, I'll call my fiancΓ©e to beat you to death. β
Huangfu Sisi glared at him not to be outdone, for a long time, he suddenly sneered, the laughter became louder and louder, and he leaned back and forth, and his eyes bent into crescent moons were filled with tears.
"Master Hou, you are really ...... It's so much fun, haha. β
It's so angry, this crazy woman is sick, she is not lightly ill, Gu Qing reflected on her performance just now, she seemed to be a little faceless, and she was actually frightened by a crazy woman......
"Would you like to see a more interesting side of me?" Gu Qing suddenly asked with a smile.
Huangfu Sisi was still smiling, and nodded: "Of course the concubine wants to see the more interesting side of the Hou Ye......"
"Is the girl short of money to open this inn?"
"Who doesn't lack money? No amount of money is enough. The emperor sighed faintly.
"Congratulations girl, your good luck has come."
Huangfu Sisi blinked his apricot eyes, not understanding what he meant.
Gu Qing put the wine glass on the table, got up and dusted off the hem of his clothes, walked out, and said lightly: "I am full of wine and food, and I am leaving." β
Huangfu watched his back disappear into the front hall in a daze.
As soon as his eyes were a little confused, he suddenly heard Gu Qing outside raise his voice and say, "Smash this broken inn for me, and lose money after smashing it!" β
A group of guards suddenly received the order, and then Huangfu Sisi saw a group of wolf-like guards rushing in, smashing things when they saw them, and throwing them when they saw ornaments......
β¦β¦β¦β¦
On the way back to the camp, Han Jie looked at Gu Qing with a puzzled expression, and stopped talking a few times.
In the end, Han Jie finally couldn't help it and asked, "Hou Ye made a feud with that girl just now?" β
"What kind of enmity, didn't you see that I had a good conversation with her? Immodestly, she almost fell in love with me. Gu Qing's face did not change his color.
"You still smashed her shop?"
"There are many ways to express love, and I belong to the flirting style, and the more I smash, the happier I am."
Han Jie sighed: "Master Hou, it's really a pleasure to chat with you......"
Gu Qing said with a smile: "Civilization and barbarism are actually opposites and unified, the civilization that has been established with countless painstaking efforts, barbarism can destroy it overnight, but after destroying and rebuilding, it often surpasses the previous civilization, and human beings are slowly making progress in continuous destruction and reconstruction." β
Han Jie was confused, he didn't understand a word of what Gu Qing said.
"You see, I smashed that girl's shop, and I lost money after smashing it, and she took the money to rebuild the inn, and it is certain that the rebuilt inn is newer and more beautiful than the original inn, and I am the one who destroyed the old civilization and also helped her rebuild the new civilization, do you want her to thank me?"
Han Jie finally understood, and couldn't help but say: "But Hou Ye smashed the store and lost money, what do you want?" Could it be that Taoguang is obscure again, and he smashed it to Bian Lingcheng and those people? β
Gu Qing smiled: "Don't think too complicated, I smashed the store because she scared me just now, so I want to retaliate, I lost money because I have money, I am happy, she got a new store, I vented my anger, the best of both worlds, how good." β
