Gao Jun was happy when he heard this, and said to the man, "I hope to borrow your auspicious words." When asked why he had reached this point, the old man said, "This doll is my grandson, whose father was the standard-bearer of the Khan's Guard, and died on the battlefield last year." His mother also remarried and went elsewhere. ”

The old man said that just because the Khan often used swords, his ancestors and grandchildren were old and young, and they could only be regarded as useless people in the Jieli Department, and they didn't want to make trouble for Simo Khan anymore, so he took his grandson to find a stable village in the Tang Dynasty, or to make a trilogy for others, or to buy half an acre of land, and raise the child while he could move.

"Hey, now it seems that there is no need to think about buying land! The money is gone! Slavery to others, it seems that it has become a bubble, who would want a lame person! ”

Gao Jun said, "The wolves in the desert are also strange, they specialize in robbing silver!" He always thought that this old man was bitten by wolves.

The old man said, "It's not a wolf, I was injured by the new deputy prime minister Luo of the Jieli Department." They brought iron rods with wolf teeth, no wonder you read it wrong...... It turned out that the khan didn't care much about the affairs of the people's north and south, but after he came, he didn't know what to say to the khan, and he suddenly controlled it strictly. ”

Gao Jun listened to him while inspecting the injury on his leg, and it seemed that the person who did it only wanted to abolish him, and did not hit him in a fatal place. Only one leg can make do with it, and the other is completely useless.

Gao Jun knew how to connect bones, so that the old man endured the pain, held the old man's thin leg like a hemp rod with both hands, and pulled and closed the broken bones, but there was no hemostatic medicine. He went to find a sturdy piece of wood, and with a swing of his knife sharpened two splints, clamping the leg. It's just that there is no rope to bind it.

Gao Jun unfolded the blanket and spread it on the ground, cut a two-finger-wide belt with an oolong knife, and tied the old man's injured leg little by little. Say to him, "Do you want to go to Tang Realm again, or do you want to go back?" ”

The old man said worriedly, "What if I want to go, if I want money or not, if I want legs, who will accept it if I bring a little doll without relatives and no reason." As he spoke, a cloud of gloom appeared on his face again.

"You don't have to worry about this, from now on, I Gao Jun will be your dear. I can write a letter to you, you take it to the ranch in Liuzhong County, Xizhou, to find Liu Wumucheng, and he will accept you when he sees the letter. ”

When the old man heard this, he kowtowed again and asked Gao Jun to stop. He took him on the donkey's back and took the child into his arms. Dry food, water, and silver were left for him, "When you ride a donkey to the ranch village, someone will ask you for it, and you will pay it back for you." ”

When I wanted to write a letter, I just didn't have any paper, so I had to tear a piece of my innermost shirt. Without a pen, Gao Jun took out the treasure knife, and slashed his index finger on the tip of the knife, and the bright red blood immediately flowed out.

Gao Jun wrote a letter and told the old man that he had gone south to Chiting to guard and capture, and the deputy envoy Gao Rang could also ask for help. The old man thanked him for his kindness, and said, "Engong, you gave me the donkey, what are you riding yourself?" ”

Gao Jun said, "I may not be able to go back, what else do I need a donkey for...... It's just a pity that this treasure knife is gone! ”

When the old man heard this, he cried, "I just want to meet Engong in a desperate place, and I may have a hard time in the future...... Why, are you going to die? Gao Jun was noncommittal.

The old man said, "If Engong is not born, how can I leave you, it is better to go north with you." I don't know what sin you have committed, but how can you be mortal with such a heart? The old man fought for his life, and he also wanted to cry out to the Khan...... Even if it doesn't work, he will definitely do the future for Engong, and he will accompany Engong every day in his lifetime! ”

Siqing has been watching Gao Jun do these things from the sidelines, and seeing his dedication to helping the old man's ancestors and grandchildren, he was also secretly moved. The heart said, these ancestors and grandchildren are still from my Jieli Department, why do they want to leave their homeland and go south? Although the beater was instructed by the deputy prime minister, most of them were also his own people. Unexpectedly, an official of the Tang Dynasty has such patience with these two people who have no relatives and no reason, and he is not sloppy at all.

Seeing that Gao Jun was busy for a while, there was a thin layer of sweat on his forehead, and he was thinking about the old man's words in a daze. Siqing thought about it, it took so many days to find out how handsome he was, and she looked at him a little distractedly, and Gao Jun didn't hear her ask her.

"I also think that this place is too far away from the south, and I can't see the next donkey for a while, and if I encounter wolves again in the night, it won't hurt him and his grandson! What do you mean, princess? ”

Gao Jun asked twice, and then Siqing turned around and said tentatively, "Lord Gao, what you said is right, let's talk about you donkey...... You're ...... Wouldn't it be safer to take him all the way back when you're done! ”

The old man heard that this tall man was called Princess Siqing, recognized Siqing's identity, and said on the donkey, "Since the princess said that Engong can go back, then it must be fine, and the old man will walk with you." ”

Siqing was a little confused when she heard this, thinking about the purpose of her trip. Fang Cai's words threw away all the branches, and only chose what he wanted to say most in his heart and said it casually. Is this what you want to say the most?

The ancient capital of Chang'an is located on the south bank of Weishui, the north of the end of the south, the capital of the emperor. In early spring and February, the willow branches in the streets are already slightly green, and in a few days, the green will be set with an emerald lace in all the neighborhoods.

Tang people are still in the road, almost every square has Taoist temples, in the whole Chang'an City, there are as many as 26 of them that can be called medium-sized. Chonghuafang, which is close to the West Market, is under the west city wall of Chang'an City. It's just that it is located in the middle of nowhere, and it is surrounded by a noisy market, and there are no high-ranking officials and big families in the market.

Because of this, there is no incense in the Qingxin Nunnery in the southeast corner of Chonghuafang. Occasionally, those who come here to incense are also young ladies from middle and lower households who come in a hurry accompanied by Yahuan, and most of them will ask about some affectionate things. Then there is the ordinary woman who carried the cabbage and the blue seed, who had just returned from the market, and put incense on the pillar here and made a wish.

The women in the neighborhood all said that there was a female Taoist priest in the nunnery with the Taoist name "Chunqingzi", who was the most empathetic, and she could sort it out for you in a few words.

In the morning, a girl from a large family came to Qingxin'an, and the silk dress she wore outlined her slender body with her eager steps. As soon as she entered the door, she found this pure young man with ease.

"Miss, there are a lot of things going on at home these days, and Madame asked me to take you to live in the house for a few days."

"You replied to Madame on my behalf, and said that I had no intention of doing mundane things, so that she didn't have to worry about me." A sentence is like a jade bowl tapping, and the wind moves the silver bell. Then, the pure green man in a pale cyan robe turned around.

Yahuan looked at the beautiful woman in front of her, who was only nineteen years old and had phoenix eyes and red lips, and a wisp of green silk poured out of her hat, "Miss Cui Yan, you haven't lost your hair, what are you talking about Hongchen?" It's time to go back, or Madame will blame me again. ”

"I don't lose my hair, but I just promised my wife that I wouldn't regret it, if it weren't for that, these troubles would have gone a long time ago...... Anyway, I won't go, you tell Madame, there is no such person as Cui Yan for a long time, there is only Chunqingzi here. It doesn't matter where the door of the Gao Mansion opens...... You go, don't come here in the future, maybe I'll visit the immortals one day...... I've got a donor here, so let's go. ”

Yahuan was unwilling, but seeing that the young lady had turned around to welcome the new donor, she turned around and left.

At this moment, at the foot of the palace, Xinglufang, inside and outside the gate of the old mansion of the high pavilion, servants are going in and out. Gao Shenxing had just returned from the outside and bowed his head inside. What worries him is that his nephew Gao Jun was told by the Jieli Ministry.

Gao Shenxing does not have to go to the early court, since ten days ago, his father said Gao Jun's matter from the court, and the heart of the Gao family has not been calm.

Father said that Gao Jun led Liu Zhongmu's men, killed and wounded 300 herdsmen of the Jieli Division, robbed 200 horses, and even killed the second brother of the leader of the Jieli Division. This matter has caused an uproar in the court.

The Tang Dynasty has always been in line with the policy of appeasing the surrounding Tibetan subordinates who have not explicitly resisted, not only discussing everything, but also often rewarding them. Now this thing is like a thunderclap in the sky, which has alarmed everyone from the Jade Emperor to the earthworms in the soil! There is no doubt that many leaders and khans are staring at the results of this matter.

Gao Shenxing thought about his thoughts, and saw the fifth brother's Gao Xianxing inside the gate, which was done by the fifth brother's son, which undoubtedly made the Gao Shenxing a focus in Chang'an City. But he could see that the fifth brother was trying his best to avoid this matter.

Emperor Taizong received the report from the Jieli Ministry, although he did not immediately issue an order to deal with it, but only said that he sent an envoy to Liuzhong Mu in Xizhou to inquire about the details, which was already a big face for the elder of the high pavilion. But when I came back, I couldn't even tell my father what the specific situation was.

The family gathered in the hall of the meeting at this moment, Gao Shenxing looked at it, there were six brothers in the family, except for Gao Chang of the eldest brother's family, Gao Yu of the second brother's family, Gao Jun and Cui Yan of the fifth brother's family, the rest were all there.

Among the four people who are not there, Cui Yan is only a foreign surname and has no blood relationship with the Gao family. In addition to her, the other three were all in Liuzhong, and they were the three people who Gao Shenxing did not dislike the most. At this moment, Gao Jun among the three is the core of the storm, what does this mean?

Although Gao Ge Lao is almost old, his body is still strong, and he can't say what the final result will be for what Gao Jun has done in Xizhou. Although this Gao Jun has been thrown to Yangzhou since he was a teenager, and now he is in Liuzhong, he is simply getting farther and farther away from the roots of the big tree of the Gao family.

Gao Ge always thought that even so, he was his grandson, and he had to try to hide for him. The prime minister of the dynasty, Changsun Wuji, was his nephew, and the late Empress Changsun was his niece, so he didn't care if he was really blushing about this matter. He sat in a large chair at the moment, and just wanted to hear what his sons had to say about the matter, and see if he could sort out a clear thread from it.

The eldest son, Gao Cheng, said, "Father, I don't think this thing will be easy to do, although the Jieli Department is not as strong as it was back then, but it is also the number one, alas, how could Gao Jun's nephew provoke them for no reason." ”

Gao Cheng married Princess Dongyang, the ninth daughter of Taizong, and the grade was also the highest among the brothers. Gradually, Gao Cheng also sees himself as the head of the next generation of the Gao family.

However, after saying that, Gao Ying saw that his father did not have a clear statement, closed his eyes and seemed to be waiting for the next step, so he said, "Father, you must reflect the posture of our Gao family in this matter." ”

"What gesture?" That's what Elder Gao wants to hear.

"This ...... I haven't thought about it...... But I think Gao Chang can't let her mess around in Xizhou anymore, I heard that Guo Dudu's second son has gone to pick her up, and she means that she wants to get married in Xizhou. "Gao Chang is his daughter.

"Zhixing, what do you think about this?" Gao Zhixing is the second son of Ge Lao.

Seeing his father's question, Gao Zhixing, as an assistant teacher of Guozijian who had risen from the sixth rank, spoke slowly. Among the six brothers, his official rank is only greater than that of the sixth brother, and he is inferior to some nephews. However, because he speaks seriously, his father always likes to listen to his opinions, "Father, I heard that the people of the Jieli Department are fierce and abnormal, and Gao Jun's nephew is just raising horses and grazing, how can he hurt people, snatch horses, and hurt Simo's second brother?" In my opinion, it's not that simple. As the saying goes, knowing a son is better than a father, I don't know what the fifth brother thinks. ”

Everyone looked at Gao Xianxing, Gao Xianxing's face flushed, and said, "This thing has been in trouble in Yangzhou, I wanted to put it in a distant place and not cause trouble, but who knows that this trouble is getting bigger and bigger!" In short, it is up to the father to decide, and the brothers in the clan must not be implicated at that time. There was a meaning between the words that Gao Jun's abandoned son was thrown more thoroughly.

Gao Shenxing didn't speak, but his daughter Gao Yao stopped hearing it, "Fifth uncle, why do you say that!" Don't you know who my brother Jun is, I have been to his ranch, and I want to accuse him of injuring 300 people in the Jieli Department, who will believe it? You can't pull out all the drinking water and feeding. ”

For his daughter to rob Fifth Brother Bai like this, Gao Shenxing would have stopped her a long time ago on weekdays, but today Gao Shenxing not only did not stop it, but nodded frequently, "Father, I think Yao'er is reasonable, Liu Zhongmu I have been there, even if there is something plausible, I think the other party is unreasonable." ”

As he was talking, the doorman came to report that the envoy to Xizhou had returned, and he had come to see the elder first. Before leaving, Gao Ge Lao deliberately explained in secret, so everyone except Ge Lao got up to greet each other.

The envoy was only about forty, and he didn't say much, but after a few greetings, he went straight to the point, took out a cloth bag, and respectfully placed it on the table in front of Gao Ge Lao.

Ge Lao looked at the cloth bag, there was Guo Xiaoke's handwriting on it, which could not be opened. Ge Lao touched it with his hand, and it was soft inside, with a hard core. It seems that Xiao Sun Gaojun's net worth and life are all in this. He shook his head, asked for some details, and ordered someone to reward him and let him leave with a cloth bag.

Everything will be known tomorrow.
