Chapter 1: White Rainbow (Part 4)
"You greedy nasty!" Mrs. Yu Guo took a sip with a smile, and while she was stunned, a faint trace of emotion swelled up in her heart. Looking at the entire Chang'an City, from the emperor to the peddlers and pawns, as long as it is a man, including his cousin Yang Guozhong, all he thinks about is how to climb into her bed and kiss Fangze. However, today she suddenly ran into an anomaly, an anomaly with a body of less than five feet and a heart as high as the sky!
The feeling is dangerous. Mrs. Qiu Guo instinctively wanted to cover it up. The eyelids with long eyelashes slowly opened, and the charm in the eyes was seductive. It's hard to repay the debt of favors! Rather than forever feeling the benefits of someone in her heart, she is more accustomed to spot trading, clearing money and goods, and not owing each other. In this way, there will be no more entanglements between each other, and even if they become enemies in the next moment, there will be no burden in their hearts.
"Madame, don't test Jia's concentration!" As if he couldn't stand Mrs. Qiu's silky eyes, Jia Chang moved back and teased with a smile. "Jia's requirement for himself is to be a righteous gentleman only once a day. This time today, I've run out just now! ”
"Then you can do whatever you want! I'm a woman, and I can't beat you as a big man! Mrs. Qiu Guo glanced at Jia Chang, and there seemed to be a flame burning on her red lips. However, the smile on the corner of her mouth revealed that she didn't believe that Jia Chang would do anything to herself!
"Then I'm really welcome!!" Looking at the slightly upturned corners of Madame Guo's mouth, Jia Chang threatened loudly. The body rubbed back again, and the back hit the car board hard.
"Boom!" Wrapped in a layer of ornately decorated carriage panels, it emitted a low muffled sound. The two of them opened their eyes at the same time, and laughed, and for a moment, their eyes were full of friendliness.
After both sides had laughed enough, Jia Chang shook his head and said, "If Madame really wants to be more prepared." You might as well persuade the right minister to put his personal suspicions back for the time being, and help to support the envoys of the two major festivals of Anxi and Hexi. After all, the soldiers and horses over there are also battle-hardened, and once something happens in the Central Plains, they can be transferred back to Gongwei Jingshi! ”
"Suspicion?!" Mrs. Qiuguo's brows furrowed instantly, and a pair of phoenix eyes stared at Jia Chang, her gaze was as sharp as a knife, "What can my brother have with Ge Shuhan and Feng Changqing?" Did you hear something? ”
"There is a war going on in the west. Didn't Madame hear about it at all? Jia Chang met his eyes, and his smile was still unwavering.
"War?" Mrs. Yu Guo secretly breathed a sigh of relief in her heart, "Who are you fighting with?" I'm a woman, how can I know so much about the affairs of the Western Regions?! ”
"Tubo Zampu abandoned his subordinate and fell critically ill, and his prince Chi Songde fought for power, and the domestic situation was turbulent. General Geshuhan took advantage of the snow in the spring to lead his troops south. Burn the flames of war to the front line of Jishi Mountain in one fell swoop. Jia Chang thought for a while and explained in very concise language, "At the same time, Feng Changqing led the Anxi army to attack the Great Bolu Kingdom, and I saw a military report a few days ago that the Anxi army has arrived under the city of Bodhisattva Lao!" Breaking the country is just around the corner! (Note 1)
"Why are we fighting again!" Mrs. Qiu Guo frowned again, and a little impatient look appeared on her face. "Can't you men, stop for a while? I've heard that there are weeds except sand, and it snows seven months of the year. Where no crops grow, what's the use of bringing them back? ”
This time, she didn't mean to cheat, but she really didn't feel any interest in the war going on in the Western Regions. If it weren't for killing people last year, she wouldn't even bother to figure out the names of Ge Shuhan, Feng Changqing and others. Anyway, these two major festivals rarely return to the capital, and there is almost no conflict of interest with her and the Yang family.
At present, Mrs. Qiu's understanding of the two major feudal towns in the Western Regions is a little more than last year, but it is also very limited. In her memory, she only had the impression that Ge Shuhan was not very reliable. As for Feng Changqing, his brother Yang Guozhong has been worried about whether this person will take the opportunity to blackmail him after learning that Wang Xun has arrived in Anxi.
Now it seems that his brother Yang Guozhong is too worried. For Feng Changqing, his current thoughts are obviously on expanding the territory for the Tang Dynasty and establishing a peerless career. And Wang Xun's little guy, it is estimated that nine times out of ten, he still doesn't understand how he went to the Western Regions, and why he encountered so many tribulations on the way!
Even if Wang Xun and Feng Changqing both knew some of the inside story, now, Mrs. Qiu Guo is not as scared as she was at the beginning. At that time, the people in Jingshi who were aware of the unresolved relationship between his sister and King Shou were not just those unlucky Wyvern guards! But after the incident, the champion general Gao Lishi has been vigorously helping to cover up, and the insiders in the Li royal family, except for the dead six princes, have also kept silent. Obviously, everyone didn't want to make this matter bigger, and the royal family had another tragic incident of father and son. Mrs. Yu Guo is now a little skeptical, whether Li Sanlang also knows about this matter, but out of guilt for King Shou and Yuhuan, she chose to open one eye and close one eye.
After all, Yuhuan was forcibly snatched by him from his own son, King Shou. After all, he is already so old, and many things between husband and wife are powerless.
"Tubo has always been the maggot of my tarsal bones in the Tang Dynasty. Ge Shuhan can gain a firm foothold on the front line of Jishi Mountain, and he can completely block the passage of the Tubo people from Qilian in the north. Seeing that Mrs. Qiu Guo complained and then disappeared, Jia Chang mistakenly thought that she was confused about the war in the Western Regions, so he hurriedly smiled and analyzed it for her. And Geshuhan's side restrained the power of the Tubo people, and only black-clothed food was left behind the Great Bolu Kingdom. If Feng Changqing can give the black-clothed cannibal a head-on blow, he can not only avenge Gao Xianzhi's defeat at Heng Ross that year, but also completely block a shortcut for the big cannibal to advance eastward! ”
Mrs. Yu Guo's eyes flashed a few times, and a helpless wry smile appeared at the corner of her mouth, "I don't understand what you said!" I guess my brother doesn't know much more than I do. If I talk to him about these things rashly, it will hardly have any effect! ”
"Don't miss the opportunity! The young Zanpu Chisong De of Tubo was born to Princess Jincheng and was proficient in the Tibetan and Tang languages. And since childhood, he has worshiped the Tang Dynasty as a teacher, and learned the art of war and statecraft. He is now suppressed by the prime minister and the nobles in the country, so he can't show his head. Goshuhan can also find an attacking opportunity. Once he succeeded in expelling the prime minister, he regained the royal power. With the innate adaptability of the Tubo people to harsh conditions, I am afraid that it will be difficult for our Tang soldiers and horses to compete with them on the plateau. Seeing that Mrs. Qiu Guo was a little absent-minded, Jia Chang couldn't help but raise his voice a little and added eagerly.
"If it's just a brother Shuhan, it's easier to do!" Mrs. Qiu Guo glanced at him with disgust, and she didn't understand how much he had benefited from Feng Changqing and Ge Shuhan, and he actually worked so hard. "That Feng Changqing has always been a maverick, not only does he not get along with his brother, but Lord Zuo Xiang Chen has a very bad impression of him!"
"Feng Changqing's side is much more important than Ge Shuhan." Jia Chang took a breath and continued to patiently analyze the stakes, "Madame, do you know that on the banks of the Hengros River back then, General Gao Xianzhi was almost wiped out at the hands of the Great Cannibal. Although afterwards, the Great Cannibal temporarily stopped its eastward expansion due to civil strife. But after a few years of recuperation, its vitality has recovered and it is ready to move again. If General Feng repeats the mistake of General Gao this time, I am afraid that the whole of Anxi will no longer be owned by Datang! ”
"It's as serious as you say?!" Mrs. Qiu Guo still couldn't believe it. "Such a desolate place, some people really think it's fragrant!"
"In case the Western Regions loses the city and land, I'm afraid that the first person to be blamed will be Lord Youxiang!" Jia Chang was so angry that he wanted to hit someone, but he endured it again and again before adding loudly.
These words finally made Mrs. Qiu Guo more cautious. After hesitating for a moment, he responded with a deep groan, "But how can I make my eldest brother understand?!" After all, I never interfere with his business! ”
Jia Chang's brows furrowed slightly, and then he quickly gave a more convincing reason, "Madame only needs to tell Lord Right Xiang how to join forces with the two major feudal towns in Hexi, and the strength is enough to restrain An Lushan!" ”
"Hmm. You can try it! Mrs. Qiu Guo finally nodded slightly. Suddenly, she raised her eyes again and looked at Jia Chang suspiciously, "How do you know so much?" It's always a set of things to say?! ”
"Haven't you heard that? Anyone who is short is because he is pressed by too many scheming! Jia Chang smiled and gave a very playful answer.
"Ghost Believe!" Mrs. Qiu Guo tilted her head to look at him, her eyes full of suspicion. "Ge Shuhan and Feng Changqing have promised you benefits? Or do you have a good relationship with the two of them?! ”
"I'll tell you, I've never dealt with them. Neither of them will look me in the eye, can you believe it? Jia Chang grinned toothily and shook his head again and again. I just want to do something, why does it always cause so much speculation. Could it be that the Tang Dynasty has long been free of people who are willing to do things without taking benefits?
"Don't believe it!" Mrs. Qiu Guo responded very dryly, and then continued to look at Jia Chang with scrutinizing eyes, as if she wanted to dig out the secret from the bottom of his heart.
"Then let me tell you, I'm a Tang man. This reason is not enough! Jia Chang raised his head proudly and said loudly.
"Nonsense, who isn't a Don?" Mrs. Yu Guo was a little dazed by this, and her brows were twisted into a faint ball.
"You don't understand. Madam! Jia Chang sighed and pushed the car door open. You really don't understand! ”
The sky outside was already bright, and the morning sun shone in from the entrance of the carriage, instantly pulling his figure long. At this moment, he was a giant wrapped in ten thousand gilded stones.
