A loud rooster cry woke Gao Jun up.

He saw that the morning light had illuminated the window paper, and after the night had passed, his mind was clear again. He saw that Liu Yuru had already gotten up, and she was sitting at the head of the bed at the moment, looking at him intently.

Gao Jun looked at her, but she looked away in a bit of a hurry. Gao Jun found that her face was red even her earlobes, and she didn't know why, maybe it was because she ate tiger meat.

Daddy Wang's family had already gotten up, swept the yard, and made breakfast. When he saw the two of them get up, he beckoned them to eat. Then Gao Jun and the others bid farewell to Father Wang.

Father Wang rolled up the tiger skin that he peeled off yesterday and handed it to Gao Jun, "Engong is very skilled, this tiger skin has no extra knife edge, and it is placed on the kang in the old man's house, and the water is soaked and the insects are afraid of ruining it." Gao Jun thought to himself, he didn't have any decent gifts for Uncle Guo when he went to Xizhou, so he accepted it.

Gao Jun thought of the two tiger cubs before leaving, and said to Father Wang, "I went to Xizhou to bring them with me, so I will store them here for the time being, please ask Dad to find some dog milk and goat milk or something to feed first, and I will take them away when I come back." Dad solemnly agreed, and then sent the two out of the house.

After resting for the night, the steps were brisk and steady, and the rest of the distance was running, feeling faster than yesterday. In the early afternoon, the tall east gate of Xizhou Mansion was far away. There were many pedestrians on the streets of Xizhou, and Gao Jun was afraid that the charcoal fire would collide with the pedestrians, so he got off the horse, led the charcoal fire, and drove Liu Yuru to the Xizhou Metropolitan Governor's Mansion. The last time he came, he was brought by two officials from the state capital, and because he was worried about something at the time, he didn't pay attention to the bustling scene on the street.

And this time it's different, the identity has changed, and the mood has changed. There was Liu Yuru walking with him, so Gao Jun deliberately walked slowly on the street, talking to Liu Yuru who was sitting on a horse as he walked.

Liu Yuru was frightened by the howl of the wolves outside the mountain village last night, and she didn't think much about it, so she opened Gao Jun's quilt and got in, and pressed her body tightly against Gao Jun's back.

Now looking at Gao Jun leading the horse and walking underground, it seems that he has no impression of last night's events at all, and he was still a little embarrassed, but now he calmly pays attention to the scenery and pedestrians on Xizhou Street.

It was noon, and some of the street vendors who had come into the city took out the dry food they had brought with them, and sat on the side of the street to eat with water in the kettles, while some wealthy people ate in the taverns and restaurants that could be found everywhere on the street. Gao Jun raised his head and asked Liu Yuru, "Let's also find a place to eat something first, and when we get to Uncle Guo's place in a while, it's not good for the family to trouble others." ”

The two of them were walking under the door of a two-story hotel, when they heard someone upstairs shouting, "Brother Gao, Master Gao, is it you?" Gao Jun looked up and saw a person pushing open a window on the second floor, poking his head out of the window to call himself.

At first glance, I saw that the person was not recognized, but after a closer look, it turned out to be Liu County's order of Jiaohe County. Gao Jun stood below and smiled at Liu Wencheng, "Brother Liu, I can't even recognize you, how can you dress up like this!" ”

Liu Wencheng said, "You see that I have called you, and you are still standing outside, do you think that your brother will not be able to entertain guests?" Isn't that a brother and sister? Come up and have a meal together. ”

Gao Jun had no choice but to tie the charcoal fire in front of the hotel and pull Liu Yuru into the hotel door with his hand.

On the first floor of the restaurant, there are some people with a little status dining, more than a dozen wooden tables are full of people, and there is a wooden staircase in the middle place, the two of them walked up the stairs hand in hand, and saw that Liu Wencheng had walked out of the private room and stood at the staircase to greet the two.

Liu Yuru saw Liu Wencheng wearing a pair of black leather shoes, plain socks, leather belts, and a white robe. But he wore a mink hat on his head, and said in his heart that the Tang Empire was strong, and even people were so confident. Liu County is a national official, and he dresses so casually. Gao Jun said, "I didn't expect to see Brother Liu so far away in Xizhou just after we broke up, I don't know if you came to Xizhou......" suddenly remembered that Guo Dudu scolded Liu Wencheng at the wedding banquet, "I know, Brother Liu, you are also here for business." ”

Liu Wencheng was busy welcoming the two into a private room, Gao Jun saw that there were two people sitting inside, one was big-eared, in his forties, Liu County Ling said, "Quxian Cheng", the other was a little thin, Liu Wencheng said that it was the main Bo of Jiaohe County, surnamed Gao. Both of them greeted Gao Jun, and Liu Wencheng asked the shopkeeper to put on the dishes and chopsticks, and said to Gao Jun with a smile, "I didn't expect that brother, you just spent candles in the cave room, and your wife came to Xizhou to play, and it was really not comparable to my brother." ”

Gao Jun knew that Liu Xianling had just been criticized by Uncle Guo, and this time he must have come to Xizhou to deal with the aftermath of the county's household fixation. I don't know if he has seen Uncle Guo, if he does, I don't know if Liu County's order has been criticized by Lord Guo this time. He saw that he had received a beauty, strolling leisurely on Xizhou Street, and it was understandable that there was a little sour taste in his words.

Liu Wencheng said that after attending Gao Jun's wedding in Ranch Village the day before yesterday, he returned to the county and bombarded all the people, counted and audited overnight, and finally cleared the accounts. Liu County Ling brought two of his subordinates to Xizhou yesterday and handed over the full set of materials of Jiaohe County's fixed household to Cao.

"Then why haven't you gone back today? I know, you're using business to get enough of you in Xizhou! Gao Jun joked.

Liu Xianling said, "It's not what you said, I'm thinking that I won't come to Xizhou, since I am here this time, I must meet Master Guo to rest assured." ”

"Why hasn't my Uncle Guo seen you for a day?"

"Where, after I arrived in Xizhou, it wasn't that Lord Guo didn't see me, but that he hadn't been in Xizhou for the past few days, and now it was Lord Xizhou who was presiding over daily affairs." Liu Wencheng said. Liu Wencheng finished his business, and now he is just waiting to see Master Guo. When you are relaxed, you can go to the streets and go to the restaurants, and it is understandable that you dress so casually. Gao Jun asked, "I don't know where Master Guo has gone." ”

"I heard Lord Wang say that Governor Guo went to Beiting, and I didn't hear what he was doing, thinking that I might not be able to see Lord Guo in a day or two, no, a few of us are going to have a lunch and return to Jiaohe County."

The lord surnamed Gao Bo was busy pouring wine for Gao Jun and said, "Lord Gao, I didn't expect you to be so familiar with our Lord Liu. Liu Yuru finally knew Gao Jun's virtue after drinking too much, and said softly to Gao Jun, "There will be business in a while, you are not good at drinking bars." Gao Jun listened, covered the wine glass with his hand and said, "Brother Gao, you don't have to be polite, the younger brother has just arrived in Xizhou, and the matter has not yet been done, so it is inconvenient to drink." ”

Liu Wencheng was happy, and said to the high master, "Don't force my brother, he has younger siblings in charge now, and he is chewing!" Don't make it difficult for him. ”

Liu Yuru saw that Liu Xianling and Gao Jun seemed to be very familiar with each other, and Gao Jun talked to him very casually, knowing that the two had lost their temper. Listening to his words and provoking again, I wanted to be angry with him and said, "This Brother Liu, if you say that, I will understand a little." ”

When Liu Wencheng first saw Liu Yuru, he seemed to be more handsome than two days ago, and there was a layer of blush on his face from time to time. After listening to Liu Yuru's words, he hurriedly asked, "I don't know what my younger brother and sister understand?" ”

"After listening to Brother Liu's words, I knew that Brother Liu had always been taken by his sister-in-law to chew, but this time Brother Liu was probably out of Xizhou, and my sister-in-law was afraid of the eldest brother's hard work, so she deliberately took off the chew and put on a mink hat."

Liu Wencheng was stunned for a moment, and then laughed. The mouth says "Wonderful, wonderful!" He raised his glass and said to Gao Jun, "If you don't drink it, my brother will drink it himself, and I will only wait for you to have a chance to go to Jiaohe County, and then I will pour you well." When you think about going, you must bring your younger siblings with you, otherwise you will suffer, and I don't care. ”

The two subordinates of Liu County Ling are usually used to seeing Lord Liu's unsmiling appearance, but today they were so ridiculed by a woman, but they were so happy, and they also looked at Liu Yuru together, and said in their hearts that this woman looked good-looking, and her mouth was not forgiving.

As he was talking, he heard the charcoal fire downstairs shouting, and some people shouted, "This horse has kicked people!" ”

Gao Jun heard this, poked his head out of the window to look, and saw that the charcoal fire was originally tied to the door of the hotel downstairs, as if he was frightened, his mane and tail were shaking, and a big black man was getting up from not far from it, patting the dirt stuck on his pants, thinking that he had just been kicked to the ground by the charcoal fire.

Gao Jun hurriedly went downstairs, for fear that the charcoal fire would cause trouble, it turned out that the high pastor was kicked by it for a while, and never got up again, but don't do anything. I only heard the big black man ask in a Chinese dialect that was not very smooth, "This horse...... The master, who is the master! ”

Gao Jun walked over and said, "It's me, what's wrong?" Seeing Gao Jun appear, Tanhuo stabilized his mood and flicked his ponytail a little meekly. Gao Jun knew that the charcoal fire was not easy to move, unless someone violated it, and at a glance he saw that the tiger skin on the back of the charcoal fire seemed to have just been moved, and in the morning Father Wang tied it with a thin hemp rope to tie it strongly, but now the hemp rope is a little loose.

The man said, "You, your horse...... Kicked me. You lose me money. ”

Gao Jun looked at him dirty, with a black face and ink clothes, his face was covered with a layer of oil, his hair was curly, Liu Yuru also came down, hugged Gao Jun's arm and whispered, "This person is a Tubo man." ”

Gao Jun was relieved to see that he was fine, smiled at the man and said, "You are walking on the street, my horse is tied here, how can I kick you?" ”

The man rolled his eyes and said, "I want to go to dinner...... As soon as you enter the door, kick me...... You lose me money. ”

Gao Jun pointed to the people who came in and out of the hotel gate and said, "You are not the only one who entered this door, why are they fine, this horse single kicked you?" The people next to him also echoed Gao Jun, "Yes, it can't be that you want to take other people's tiger skins, right?" ”

As soon as the Tubo people were said, they said fiercely, "Give me the tiger skin...... It's fine, or you won't be able to go! ”

Liu Wencheng and his two subordinates had already come downstairs, and when they heard that this person was so unreasonable, they were a little angry, and said to Gao Jun, "Don't pay attention to him, now that our Datang and Tubo are married, it's not good to break the face of our relatives." I see that you should hurry to the Xizhou Governor's Mansion, and he will not dare to go to the mansion to find you. ”

Gao Jun heard that in the fifteenth year of Zhenguan, Princess Wencheng, the daughter of Li Daozong, the king of Jiangxia County in the Tang Dynasty, married Songzan, the leader of Tubo. Now there are relatives on both sides, and on the ground in Xizhou, if he causes something else, he will also make trouble for Uncle Guo. So he listened to Liu Wencheng's words, helped Liu Yuru to get on the horse, said goodbye to Liu Wencheng and others, and took him away. Liu Wencheng followed a few more steps and said to Gao Jun, "Brother, I'm going back too, and I'll tell you something...... Our pastor Wang who handed over to the river pastor is also in the Xizhou Mansion these days. ”

In a hurry, Gao Jun didn't care, and pulled the horse away. But the man was not interested, so he got up and followed closely behind the tall horse, and kept shouting, "Lose money, tiger skin." ”

After chasing a few steps, he didn't see Gao Jun having the intention of stopping, and the Tubo man was in a hurry, and as soon as he stretched out his hand, he grabbed the tiger skin on Gao Jun's horse. At this time, Liu Yuru was sitting on the horse, and suddenly saw the man put his hand behind him, and screamed in fright.

Gao Junren walked underground, in fact, his ears had been listening to the movement of the person behind him, thinking about ignoring him, making him feel bored, forget it. Who knew that this person would not forgive, and in the end, he took the initiative to reach out and grab it, and he couldn't hold back his temper anymore.

Seeing that Liu Wencheng and the others were already far away, they turned around and kicked at that person. The Tubo people had already grabbed the hemp rope tied to the tiger skin in their hands, and Leng Buding let Gao Jun kick it in the stomach, and the person flew out upside down ten steps away and sat on the ground, still holding a half-cut hemp rope in his hand. The tiger skin lost its binding and fell from the horse's back to the ground.

Gao Jun bent down and picked up the tiger skin from the ground, dusted off the soil on it, rolled it up again and handed it to Liu Yuru on the horse to hold in his arms. Coldly watched the man get up from the ground.

Gao Jun couldn't help but be secretly surprised. This Tibetan man has just been hit by a horse's leg, but I don't know whether it is light or heavy, and now Gao Jun's kick, although he did not use much strength, but the strength is not weak. Otherwise, he wouldn't have flown upside down ten paces away at once.

But when this person got up, he just rubbed his stomach with one hand and his ass with the other, and chased after him in great stride.

The people and vendors on the side first saw that the young man was carrying a roll of tiger skin on his horse, and they didn't pay attention to it at first. As soon as the tiger skin fell off and spread on the ground, some people were taken aback. Seeing that the blood stains on the tiger skin have not dried, and it is so large, it is definitely not bought from somewhere. And a young man who didn't look very stout kicked a big black man out of the way with one kick, and his heart was amazed.

The big black man of Tubo chased after him again, and it seems that he will not let go if he doesn't get this tiger skin. Gao Junxin said, how can you rely on your body, wait until the person is close, secretly carry enough strength on your legs, and say that I will let you lie here until dark! What more forbidden can you kick than a cow?
