Chapter 236: Yin and Yang Pass
Yin-Yang Pass is a new pass set up by the Tang Dynasty, although it is called one of the nine passes in the world, but because the construction years are too short, so there is no sight at all, and in a piece of lofty mountains and mountains stands such a stone city, it is a great scenery.
Gao Qiang went out of Chang'an City, traveled for more than a month, and came here, Gao Qiang is a martial artist, although he was born in a famous family, but he doesn't know anything about poetry and songs, so Gao Qiang didn't leave any poems to sing and cry after coming to Yin and Yang Pass.
Gao Qiang stood on the Yin and Yang Pass and patted a piece of bluestone, and couldn't help sighing and said: "I have to say, the court has been really rich in recent years, look, these are a lot of money, if you put it aside, a pile of loess mixed with water will become a city, which is like now, one by one with cement can be used." ”
"That's natural, when Lao Tzu was in Liaodong before, he couldn't open meat a few times a year, and now in the military rations given by the imperial court, you can eat meat in two days, once Lao Tzu saw a recruit throw away the fat meat, he was really angry with Lao Tzu, and Lao Tzu beat him hard to relieve his hatred." It was Qiu Laosan, the Yin and Yang Light Guard, who spoke out, and Qiu Laosan was taken a fancy to by Li Jun during the last military parade, and then he was immediately promoted to Yin Yang Pass.
Gao Qiang patted Qiu Laosan's stomach and scolded with a smile: "I haven't seen you for half a year, the fat in your belly has grown so much, I thought you were slacking, but I didn't expect it to be too good to eat." ”
Qiu Laosan scratched his head embarrassedly and said: "Son, don't hide it, I have indeed slacked off during this time, just the miscellaneous pieces of Shu Kingdom, I don't even have the courage to get close to the Yin and Yang Pass, and I am idle and bored every day, so I married a wife in my humble position." ”
"I'll go, it's a good thing, why don't you inform me?" Gao Qiang patted Qiu Laosan on the shoulder and said.
Qiu Laosan replied with a smile: "Isn't this too far?" ”
"Okay, it's not far away, isn't it? Why don't you take me to meet my sister-in-law? ”
Qiu Laosan smiled dryly and said, "Childe, it's not good yet, I just got pregnant, and when we come back, I guarantee that you can see the two of you." ”
Gao Qiang took off a piece of jade pendant from his waist and gave it to Qiu Laosan and said: "Okay, this jade pendant should be a gift for my little nephew, I didn't bring any money when I went out, don't dislike it." ”
Qiu Laosan took the jade pendant and immediately put it in his pocket and said obscenely: "Childe, you don't need anything else, it's enough to have this jade pendant, this jade pendant is snow-white, it doesn't look cheap." ”
Gao Qiang scolded with a smile: "You kid is not stupid, this is what Mo Yue gave me when I set out on the expedition." ”
"Ah, it's a princess's thing? Isn't it a little inappropriate for me to take it? ”
Gao Qiang waved his hand and replied magnificently: "It doesn't matter, we are brothers." ”
Qiu Laosan smiled and said, "Son, how long will it take for you and the princess to get married?" ”
Gao Qiang responded with a smile: "It's fast, it's fast, I'll do it when I go back, and I will definitely invite your kid to the capital to drink happy wine when the time comes." ”
"Haha, it's a deal."
"It's a deal."
The brothers laughed at the same time.
Gao Zhe stayed in the Yinyang Pass for several days in a row, without moving, and the boring life infinitely tortured a group of young people who were ready to make contributions, and then even Qiu Laosan, who trusted Gao Qiang the most, couldn't wait.
On this day, Qiu Laosan came to Gao Qiang's camp in a huff, Gao Qiang was concentrating on studying a map, and after knowing that it was Qiu Laosan, Gao Qiang said without raising his head: "Third child, I don't greet you, there is a jar of good wine under the table, remember to take it." ”
Qiu Laosan snorted coldly: "Who is rare about your wine, I want to ask you how long you have to wait?" The brothers couldn't help it. ”
Gao Qiang raised his head and replied with a smile: "Third child, go back and tell the brothers, don't worry, it's fast." ”
Qiu Laosan stepped forward and sighed: "Son, can you give my brother and me a secret, I'm waiting every day, I'm really going to have a problem." ”
Gao Qiang scolded with a smile: "Come on, you've been idle for almost half a year, and I haven't seen you in such a hurry, but you have come up with a child." ”
Qiu Laosan was given a big red face by Gao Qiang, Gao Qiang patted Qiu Laosan on the shoulder and said, "Third child, if you believe me, don't ask anything, go back and appease the brothers." ”
Qiu Laosan sighed and left.
That night, a caravan from Shu came to Yinyang Pass, tonight happened to be Qiu Laosan on duty, Qiu Laosan looked at the huge caravan below and couldn't help but scold angrily: "Grandma, you don't want to make money and earn your life, don't you know that you are going to fight?" ”
The consul of the caravan was not angry, but just arched his hand and said, "This general, be accommodating, my lord wants to see General Gao." ”
Qiu Laosan's eyes lit up, but for the sake of prudence, Qiu Laosan still said: "Isn't my general something you can see if you want to, and there is something that represents your identity?" ”
The consul took out a token from his arms and put it on the hanging basket, and said with a smile: "General, please take the token to General Gao." ”
"Okay, wait for me in a while, I'll come when I go."
Qiu Laosan happily came to Gao Qiang's camp with a token, Gao Qiang was disturbed by Qiu Laosan's dream, and wanted to scold Qiu Laosan, but when he saw this token, Gao Qiang didn't even have time to put on his coat, put on his shoes and went to the city wall.
Qiu Laosan hurriedly took Gao Qiang's cloak and followed.
Soon the caravan entered the Yin Yang Pass, and at this time, a fat middle-aged man got down from the carriage, and the middle-aged man arched his hand to Gao Qiang and said, "General Gao, don't come to harm." ”
Gao Qiang was startled, and hurriedly replied, "Uncle Zhuo, why are you here?" ”
The person who came was Zhuo Shan, Zhuo Shan smiled bitterly: "There is no way, I don't feel at ease if I leave this kind of thing to others, so I can only go out by myself." ”
Gao Qiang arched his hand and said, "Uncle, it's hard work, please follow me." ”
Zhuo Shan came to the city guard mansion, and after freshening up, he went straight to Gao Qiang's handsome tent, Gao Qiang and Qiu Laosan were already waiting, Gao Qiang pointed to the food on the table and said with a smile: "Uncle, the military camp is simple, coarse tea and light rice, not respectful." ”
Zhuo Shan looked at the rice on the table, and all the words flowed down, and he gobbled it up: "At this time, what else is it to mention that it is not simple, even if it is a simple meal, it is much better than the whole worm banquet in Shu." ”
"Ah, the people of Shu eat insects?" Qiu Laosan asked incredulously.
"Isn't it? Such a long white worm can be swallowed in one bite. Zhuo Shan gestured while eating.
Qiu Laosan almost vomited when he saw Zhuo Shan's metaphorical image.
After Zhuo Shan had eaten and drunk enough, Qiu Laosan gave Zhuo Shan a cup of tea with a very good eye, and Zhuo Shan took a sip of tea and said, "Alas, it's better for us to be in the Tang Dynasty." ”
"Uncle Zhuo has suffered, I don't know what Uncle Zhuo gained from going to Shu in person this time?" Gao Qiang asked with a smile.
Zhuo Shan didn't reply, but looked at Qiu Laosan on the side, Gao Qiang hurriedly said: "Uncle Zhuo, but it doesn't matter, this general's name is Qiu Laosan, he is the guard of the Yin and Yang Pass, and he is also the deputy general of this expedition, and he has been personally praised by His Majesty." ”
"Ah, the old man is clumsy, it turns out to be General Qiu." Zhuo Shan bowed.
Qiu Laosan hurriedly returned the salute with joy, this is the first time that he has lived for so many years, and he has been so respected by a relative.
