Shangguan Yi went to Goguryeo, and at the same time on the edge of Shanhaiguan, Xie Baliang dressed himself as a farmer and bowed his head to cover his face with a hat, and there were very few people entering and leaving Shanhaiguan, and a few officers and soldiers who were guarding stopped Xie Baliang who was about to walk out of Shanhaiguan, "What are you going to do?" ”

"A few officials." Xie Baliang smiled and explained, "I want to go to Changbai Mountain to find some herbs, and someone in my family is sick." ”

"Where are you from, do you have a way?" The officers and soldiers finished disced.

"Yes, yes." Xie Baliang smiled honestly, and took out the fake road guide that had been prepared a long time ago from his arms, "Xiaomin is from Youzhou. ”

The officers and soldiers glanced at Lu Yin and nodded, glanced at the smiling honest Xie Baliang, and took out an axe from the side, "The front is not very peaceful recently, take it for self-defense." ”

"Thank you, sir." Xie Baliang smiled and said, "Xiaomin will come back after collecting the medicine and return it to the official." ”

"Go, go early and come back early, and stay safe." The officers and soldiers returned the road guide to Xie Baliang.

"Xiaomin understood." Xie Baliang walked out of Shanhaiguan with his back to everyone, the honest smile on his face disappeared, and his gloomy and cold face was restored.

The sound of horses' hooves came from far and near, and Xie Baliang quickened his pace to leave everyone's sight, and then galloped away in the direction of Changbai Mountain.

"See the general!" Several officers and soldiers saw Li Junxian kneeling on one knee when they saw Li Junxian coming in armor.

Li Junxian turned over and dismounted and looked solemnly at the dilapidated Shanhaiguan, "Are there any suspicious people passing by recently?" ”

"Back to the general." A military commander replied, "There are no people passing by in the Shanhaiguan area on weekdays, and some are just some medicine pickers. ”

Li Junxian handed the sword in his hand to the generals beside him, "Gather people to repair Shanhaiguan and dredge Hebei Road, and we are about to go east!" ”

"Yes!" The soldiers replied.

Walking into Shanhaiguan, Li Junxian was very worried about this broken pass, looked down and saw a pair of footprints leaving Shanhaiguan, looking at the footprints should have just left, and asked the officers and soldiers who wanted to guard the pass, "Someone just went out?" ”

"General Hui, he is a person who went to Changbai Mountain to collect medicine, and he said that he was from Youzhou, and there was no problem after seeing the road."

"No problem?" Li Junxian wondered, "How long have you been gone?" ”

"I just left, less than a cup of tea." The officer and soldier said.

Li Junxian walked out of Shanhaiguan a few steps and looked in front of him, the person was gone, "That person is in such a hurry?" Is he running for his life or going to collect medicine. ”

The officers and soldiers of the guard immediately understood, knelt on one knee, "Neglect of duty, let's chase it!" ”

Chang'an, Daning Temple on the outskirts

Gu Qing is still living a comfortable life here, in a corner of the temple, Gu Qing held a card in his hand and said to a few monks, "You guys are playing cards, how do you grind and chirp." ”

"One against six!"

"One against eight!"

……

The little monk hurriedly ran over, "Master Gu has someone looking for you." ”

"Who?" Gu Qing held the cards in his hand.

"It's an official, and he looks like he's in his thirties." The little monk said, "It is said that I am talking to Gu Shizhu about the affairs of Shangshu Province." ”

Gu Qing stood up, put down the cards, and took the peach in the little monk's hand in one hand, "You go on." ”

"Gu Shi, that's my peach." The little monk looked aggrieved.

……

Yang Shidao, the current secretary of the ministry, was waiting in the temple, and when he saw Gu Qinglai, he stepped forward with a smile, "Gu Houye." ”

"Who are you?" Gu Qing slipped in his mouth and took a bite of peaches.

"Under Yang Shidao." The other party replied, "It's the official book appointed by His Majesty yesterday." ”

"Are you here to arrange for me to do something about Shangshu Province?" Gu Qing looked at the other party, "Let me tell you, I don't want many people!" As long as it's enough to call. ”

"That's nature." Yang Shidao took out the roster, "This is the roster, Hou Ye will see if it is suitable, and after Hou Ye chooses it, he will give it to His Majesty for a look." ”

Gu Qing took the roster and looked at these names, and when he saw Gu Qing's hesitant look, Yang Shidao said, "Master Hou, if you have a fancy circle, it's fine." ”

"Do you usually choose people based on their names? At least give a brief introduction, or a resume. Gu Qing looked at these names for a while, walked to his room and picked up the brush, moved his eyes to the official book of the Ministry of Officials, and with a stroke of the pen, he circled all the officials of the Ministry except for the Ministry of Officials, and returned the list to Yang Shidao, "I want these people." ”

"Master Hou, I'm afraid this is ......" The official Shangshu kept silent, looking like he wanted to speak and stopped.

Gu Qingchang sighed and patted the shoulder of the official secretary, "Let's be officials, you can put forward your opinions, but you can mention them, don't fix those useless ones." ”

“……”

"Master Hou!" Yang Shidao, the secretary of the ministry, said with a bitter face, "Master Hou, you took away all the people in the ministry, what do you want me to do." ”

"What does it have to do with me?" Gu Qing ate peaches, "It's you who said it yourself, it's okay to circle it up, besides, you are a secretary of the ministry, why don't you find a few officials yourself, aren't there a lot of idle officials on your roster?" ”

Yang Shidao put away the roster aggrievedly, "I understand." ”

"Again." Gu Qing said earnestly, "If you have any opinions, you can put them forward, forget it after you mention them, don't fix those useless ones." ”

Yang Shidao left Daning Temple in frustration.

The little monk came to Gu Qing's side with a peach in his hand, "Why did that guy leave with a sad face." ”

"Nothing." Gu Qing threw the peach in his hand after eating, and then took the peach in the little monk's hand and ate it.

The little monk pouted and looked at Gu Qing, "You snatched my peaches again!" ”

The peaches are soft and hard in the mouth, sweet and juicy, Gu Qing turned a blind eye to the little monk's grievances, "Where did you pick the peaches from, I didn't see a peach tree around here." ”

"It was sent by someone from a nearby village." The little monk sat aggrievedly on the side.

"Don't be aggrieved." Gu Qing touched the little monk's bald head, "I'll make a roast chicken for you to eat." ”

"I won't eat it!" The little monk turned his head and blushed until the roots of his ears.

Under the clear sky, Gu Qing took the little monk to the small river, stood barefoot on the shallows of the river, and bent down to catch fish.

Wu Mei came to visit Gu Qing with her family's things, and saw her husband and the little monk catching fish in the river with a smile, looking at this scene with a gentle smile, she always felt that her husband could live so freely no matter where he was.

Gu Qing and the little monk fluttered in the river for most of the day, and they were stunned that they didn't catch a single fish, and when they saw a group of people standing by the river, they were Wu Mei.

"Girl!" Gu Qing called out, "Why are you here?" ”

"It's about to change seasons, bring some clothes here." Wu Mei looked at Gu Qing with a smile.
