Huangfu Sisi's hands trembled, and Gu Qing saw her hands tremble with her own eyes.

Curious about how she cooked, Datang, which lacked all kinds of condiments, could make such a delicious meal, Gu Qing rushed into the kitchen of the inn to observe her cooking techniques, of course, mainly to steal the teacher.

Then he saw that there was a special square tripod on the kitchen stove, the bottom of the tripod was square, the edge was sloping, and the style was a bit similar to the iron pot for stir-frying in later generations.

Most of Huangfu Sisi's cooking techniques are today's steaming, and he has not learned to stir-fry, but the seasoning spices are used very appropriately, and the taste of each dish is raised, but it is just right, and it does not rob the original taste of the dish.

Watching Huangfu Sisi scoop up the dishes from the pot with a big spoon and prepare to put them on the plate, Gu Qing saw her hand holding the spoon tremble and tremble again.

The picture is very familiar, vaguely returning to the era of eating in the university cafeteria in his previous life, holding the rice bowl and showing a flattering smile, just begging the cafeteria aunt's Parkinson's disease not to be so serious.

"Stop! If you shake it again, it's gone! Gu Qing was angry and drank decisively.

Huangfu Sisi was startled, not only his hands trembled, but even his shoulders trembled.

"You, you, you...... When did it come? Get out quickly, the kitchen is oily, and noble people like Hou Ye can't come in. Huangfu Sisi pushed him out.

Gu Qing said angrily: "If I don't come in, how many times are you going to shake?" It's too much, although I don't pay for food, but you can't be short of catties and two......"

After speaking, Gu Qing was stunned, and this sentence ...... There seems to be a hint of a hint of jerk.

Huangfu Sisi sneered, then giggled.

Glancing at him coquettishly, Huangfu Sisi snorted: "Do you still know that you don't give money for eating?" ”

Gu Qing said with a cold face: "One yard is one yard, if you don't give money, you can go to the government to sue me, but your lack of two catties is a character problem, and hand tremors are diseases and must be treated." ”

Huangfu Sisi smiled and said: "The Hou Ye eats and drinks for nothing and doesn't give money, can the concubine really go to the government to sue you?" ”

Gu Qing flipped his thumb and pointed to his chest and said, "Immodestly, I am the government." The official ruled that the matter of not giving money will be talked about later, but it is wrong for your hands to tremble, you obviously made a big pot of dishes, what are you shaking? Who else am I going to give it to? ”

Huangfu Sisi laughed and said, "Your shameless face is simply ......"

Sighing, Huangfu Sisi said again: "There are so many people in the Hou Ye's hometown, they have settled in Qiuzi City, and a group of rough men have no food to eat, so the concubine naturally has to take care of it, and he has made so many dishes just to send them over, as for the Hou Ye...... You're only one person, what's wrong with a little less? Can a concubine starve you? ”

Gu Qing was stunned, he didn't expect Huangfu Sisi to be so concerned about his fellow countrymen, and he was suddenly a little moved.

Immediately, Gu Qing was immediately alert, this woman coveted her beauty, and her hand had already reached out to his fellow villagers, so be vigilant, don't forget that her origin is unknown.

"The girl has a heart, I misunderstood you, it's not easy to manage dozens of people to eat and drink, I will definitely give ......money this time" Gu Qing smiled, touched his arms, and then took out a blank shot, but he was not embarrassed, and said without changing his face: "I'll give it next time." ”

As soon as the operation was smooth, Huangfu Sisi was dumbfounded, and then laughed: "Master Hou, you ...... Even if it's a show, please put some thought into it, okay? This is very insincere, and the concubine can't convince herself that you will really give money. ”

Gu Qing turned around and said lightly: "Try to use dim sum next time, let's start eating quickly, I'm hungry." ”

Huangfu Sisi suddenly stopped him: "I heard that Lord Hou wants to find the clansmen surnamed Zhaowu Jiu and wants to reuse them, is it true?" ”

Gu Qing turned his head: "Not bad." ”

Huangfu Sisi hesitated for a moment and said: "The concubine knows a clansman surnamed Zhaowu Jiu, who has a lot of business skills, and he was also a rich country back then, but he ...... I have a deep hatred for Datang, you know, Tianbao has been in high class for nine years, and the other eight surnames have been swept away, and the officers and soldiers of Datang have a grudge against him to destroy the country and punish the family, so they are not very willing to serve the Hou Ye......"

Gu Qing was silent for a moment and said, "I'm different from Gao Xianzhi. ”

Huangfu Sisi looked at him deeply, and said with a smile: "The concubine knows that you are different from him. ”

"If you don't want to be effective, you don't want to be reluctant, you tell him that you can come out and walk around openly, you don't have to hide like a mouse, I will immediately issue a pardon, and the people of the nine surnames of Zhaowu will be exempted from all their crimes, as long as they don't do anything to resist the Tang Dynasty, the world is so big, you can go anywhere, and the government will not pursue it."

Huangfu Sisi hesitated: "Hou Ye said 'all the remaining sins are forgiven', but they are not guilty, what Hou Ye knows, the so-called 'lost courtier' that destroyed the nine surnames of Zhaowu was just an excuse......"

Gu Qing nodded: "It's an excuse, but an excuse is also a fig leaf, I know that Zhaowu Jiu's surname is innocent, but the imperial court can't lose its authority, and this fig leaf can't be torn off." Gao Xianzhi is still the envoy of the Anxi Festival, and I can't save his face, so the pardon still says that they are guilty, but the government exempts them. ”

"Girl, there is no justice and justice in officialdom, I can do this far, I have done my best, it is unfortunate to suffer in vain, but some grievances can only be swallowed hard, no one in the world can give them justice, unless...... Years later. ”

Huangfu Sisi looked puzzled, not understanding what Gu Qing's last sentence "many years later" meant.

But she has also experienced the warmth and coldness of human affection, and she knows that it is not easy for Gu Qing to do this step, so she bowed and said: "The concubine is surnamed Zhaowu Jiu, thank you for your magnanimity." ”

Gu Qing stared at her face and said, "You are also a clansman with the surname Zhaowu Jiu?" ”

Huangfu Sisi smiled: "Master Hou thinks too much, but the concubine is not." It's just that when the government chased and killed them, the concubine was moved by compassion and secretly helped them for a while, which can be regarded as some friendship. ”

Gu Qing said slowly: "Help the needy, not afraid of power and bad government, the girl has the style of a chivalrous man." Not bad. ”

After speaking, Gu Qing turned around and left.

Huangfu Sisi stood at the door of the kitchen, and when she heard Gu Qing praise her, she suddenly smiled after being stunned.

Just a simple sentence of "good", but her mood seems to fly, as if she is in the mountains and forests of birds and flowers, and in the gloomy life, a butterfly with colorful wings is fluttering.

…………

Since the ninth year of Tianbao, after the battle between the Anxi Protectorate and the Great Food Empire Talas, the Tang army has contracted its defense in the Western Regions in recent years, and there are few large-scale military operations, but this time it has poured out, under the banner of suppressing bandits, on the vast Western Regions Plain and desert, the Tang army swept through the four provinces, and once again showed the edge of the Western Regions countries.

The army was dispatched in batches, the countries of the Western Regions were in turmoil, they did not believe that the Tang army was pouring out of the nest to suppress the bandits, thinking that the Tang army was going to destroy a small country, the lords of the countries were afraid, and soon a messenger from a small country in the Western Regions came to Qiuzi City, respectfully asking to see Gao Xianzhi, the envoy of the Anxi Festival.

Gao Xianzhi had made up his mind not to participate in any matter in Anxi, and he avoided the envoy, and the word came out that he was ill, and all the affairs of Anxi were represented by Gu Qing, the deputy envoy of Jiedu.

So the envoys had no choice but to go to the camp outside the city to ask to see Gu Qing.

Gu Qing met with the envoys of various countries, and told them with a smile that the Tang army had no other intentions, it was really to suppress bandits and ensure the smooth and safe trade routes in the Western Regions, and had no other intentions.

The envoys of the countries were skeptical, and they did not dare to question openly, so they had to laugh with them.

Gu Qing smiled, and asked the envoys meaningfully, whether the bandits who had recently killed people and plundered goods on the trade routes in the Western Regions were related to the lords of the countries? If it is found that the countries have colluded with the bandits, wantonly disrupted the tranquility of the trade routes in the Western Regions, and intended to intimidate the merchants who came to Qiuzi City to do business, it would have committed a mortal crime.

The envoys were shocked, frightened by Gu Qing's words, some were purely afraid, and some were weak-hearted, swearing in cold sweat that the bandits had nothing to do with their country, and patted their chests on behalf of the country, and promised that if bandits were found in their own country, they would be annihilated with the strength of the whole country, and they would not show mercy.

Gu Qing smiled with satisfaction, and no longer broke it.

This group of bandits is rampant, their methods are vicious, and they come and go without a trace, it is clearly an organized, premeditated and purposeful robbery and killing of businessmen, if it has nothing to do with these small countries, Gu Qing will never believe it.

But now the overall strategic situation of the four towns of Anxi is peace and money, Gao Xianzhi's high-pressure policy towards the countries of the Western Regions has proved to be a failure, Gu Qing can't follow in his footsteps, so this matter can't continue to dig deeper, it's enough to scare them, if these small countries dare to make a name for themselves behind their backs, Gu Qing said that it is not a joke to destroy their country, and the person who stabs the knife behind his back must be destroyed.

In the next year or two, Anzay must operate like an iron bucket, and there must be no backyard fires.

Military reports came one after another from all walks of life.

Ten days ago, 10,000 cavalry of Chang Zhong's department went out of the city to the west, and found more than 500 bandits near the trade route where Bahan's department was located, and annihilated them in one fell swoop, leaving no one alive.

Eight days ago, Li Siye's Ma Ling's troops went out of the city to the north, crossed the Tianshan Mountains, and annihilated three bandits in the Beiting Metropolitan Protectorate, totaling more than 1,000 people.

Five days ago, 5,000 cavalry of Shen Tian's department in the east annihilated 1,000 bandits near Yangguan, during which they clashed with the soldiers and horses of the Hexi Jiedu envoy, and later Ge Shuhan, the envoy of Hexi Jiedu, came forward and gave the bandits to Shen Tian.

One after another military reports were handed back to the camp outside Qiuzi City, Gu Qing was quite satisfied with the performance of the various departments, and at the same time, he gradually understood that there was not only one bandit active in the Western Regions, but quite a few, they may belong to different spheres of influence, and they were secretly supported by different small countries in the Western Regions.
