Chapter 673: The country is easy to change, but the nature is difficult to change
Whether it was speaking or saluting, Yunna inadvertently exuded a manly hearty atmosphere, without the slightest cowardice and worry, with a refreshing smile on his face. Although she is not a first-class beauty, she makes people feel happy at first sight, and even Qu Tushenruo, who wanted to blame her brother, did not feel that she had a good impression of her.
Before the two siblings could talk about their farewell, there was a sudden commotion outside, followed by three or four figures rushing in. Qu Tu Zhongxiang didn't see the person clearly at all, and he was punched several times in the shoulder and chest, and he was dizzy at the lower end. When he reacted, he saw several familiar faces shaking in front of him, and immediately laughed.
"Good brother, I'm finally back!"
After Li Xian punched him, he immediately gave Qu Tu Zhongxiang a bear hug, and slapped his back a few times with both hands. It was easy to let go of the person, and then he asked in surprise: "Zhong Xiang, it has not changed in the past few years, but your kid is strong!" The training on the body is definitely not something that can be exercised in a while, what are you kid doing? ”
Qu Tu Shenruo and his younger brother reunited after a long absence, and they didn't pay attention at first, but at this time, they took a closer look and found that Qu Tu Zhongxiang did look very different from that year in addition to the dust on his face, and his heart was happy and touched. And Li Jingye and Cheng Bohu also unceremoniously came up and pinched Qu Tu Zhongxiang's arm twice, but they all smacked their tongues there again and again.
"Rokuro didn't say I hadn't noticed it, wasn't that punch just now like hitting a piece of iron?" Cheng Bohu touched the stubble on his chin and praised him, "If I knew this, I should have followed to experience it, so that the old man in my family would have been nagging all day long." ”
Everyone's eyes were staring at him, and Qu Tu Zhongxiang naturally couldn't resist it. However, in the place where Tianzhu is full of city-states, if he takes out all the things he has experienced, he can't finish talking about it for three days and three nights. was about to understate it and fool around for the time being, who would have thought that Qu Tushen would grab him ahead of him and pull Yun Na over.
"Yunna, Zhongxiang Tianzhu has ever been brave and ruthless?"
It was only at this time that Li Xian and the others noticed Yun Na standing next to him and saw the strange child. When asked about their age again, several people suddenly exploded. originally thought that before they got married, Qu Tu Zhongxiang did, but now it seems that the child who dared to love his own family was actually a month younger than others?
At the moment when this group of people was in a hurry, Xue Dingshan suddenly scratched his head: "Zhong Xiang, just now when Liulang asked me to leave the East Palace, I happened to bump into Uncle Qu Tu and talked to him. He was very happy at that time, saying that your marriage that had been delayed for many years had finally come to an end. If he knows you've brought your son back......"
As soon as these words came out, Qu Tu Zhongxiang's face became extremely ugly. He and Qu Tu Shenruo's father Qu Tuquan are not the kind of people who are instigated, and they have been foreign officials for many years, but it is his uncle Qu Tu who is really unbearable. When he had a splitting headache on his side, Qu Tushenruo next to him took the hands of his younger siblings and talked in a low voice, sometimes nervous and sometimes happy.
A group of people stood in the middle of the courtyard and shouted for a while, and it took a while to remember that this was really ridiculous. At that moment, Li Xian and a few other big men simply went to the hall to set up wine for Qu Tu Zhongxiang, and Qu Tu Shenruo took Yun Na away. Of course, the child who looked very smart with his blinking eyes was also carried by them to the backyard to play with other children.
A few bowls of yellow soup into the stomach, Qu Tu Zhongxiang forgot his scruples at the beginning, and talked endlessly about how Beitianzhu gained a firm foothold, which sounded like a living version of Sun Tzu's Art of War. What kind of beauty plan, what kind of siege Wei to save Zhao, what kind of discordant plan...... All in all, he used all the means he could remember, coupled with the shamelessness and cheekiness that he had tempered over many years of his career, and then firmly controlled a soil king.
Li Xianqiang couldn't help but be excited, and asked impatiently: "So, the big cars you brought back this time ......?"
"That's right, of course I'm not going back empty-handed this time." Qu Tu Zhongxiang stretched out his finger and shook it, smiling mysteriously, "Because it is too far from Tianzhu to the Central Plains, and the cost on the road is too great, I only brought a total of five hundred Damascus knives. Before Li Xian and the others could show ecstatic expressions, he immediately poured a basin of cold water.
"Although there is no problem with the things and processes, and the place where the raw ore is produced is also under control, the road from North Tianzhu to the Central Plains is not smooth." Thinking of the endless situations encountered on the road, even if he had been trained outside for many years, Qu Tu Zhongxiang also felt a little tricky, "Now although the four towns of Anxi are in the hands of the Tang Dynasty, after all, they are only the land of the four towns, and they do not interfere in the internal affairs of those vassal kings and khans, so there are many horse thieves in these places, and Tubo has sent troops to harass them, this road is not safe." ”
"Moreover, the price of transporting these things from Tianzhu to the Central Plains is really too high. Scarcity is expensive, and I think it is more cost-effective to sell it to generals than to equip elite soldiers. ”
Speaking of which, Qu Tu Zhongxiang's habit of selling weapons in the past raised his head again, and a familiar calculating smile appeared on his face, which actually stunned Zhou Xiao, who came from behind.
"This Damascus knife is only a little sharper than my Datang Mo knife, and the cost of this Mo knife is high enough, not to mention this Damascus knife, plus the cost is considerable. Liulang, Tianzhu is now full of city-states, how chaotic it is, it is better to gather a group of Tang rangers to go over there to find a way out. If you can pull a team together......"
Li Xian never dreamed that Qu Tu Zhongxiang, who has always been very keen on making money, went around in such a big circle, and in the end he still didn't forget the purpose of making money. However, he had to admit that there was a certain degree of feasibility for someone to get into the eyes of money. Moreover, now that Tubo is once again frequently harassing the four towns of Anxi, it would be a good way to start from both the east and the west.
A strong cavalry squad armed with a Damascus knife came to his mind, and then he remembered the word horse thief, and the wry smile on his face suddenly deepened.
"Zhong Xiang, you kid is indeed getting more and more capable!"
"General, how can you compare to Rokuro?" After playing deeply, Qu Tu Zhongxiang's face showed a thief smile again, "Then again, Liulang, you are now the prince of the court, and maybe you will be the emperor in the future, with you as a backer, don't I want to do it?" ”
As soon as the words fell, he saw Li Xian looking at him with a strange gaze, and then swept the other people around him, feeling that everyone seemed to be looking at fools, which couldn't help but make him stunned. Zhou Xiaoshi, who had been friends with him in the past, couldn't bear to let him fall into the fire pit, so he pulled him aside.
"We were all dragged down the puddle by Liulang, are you really going to go to the East Palace to be an official? I can tell you, that young Zhan Shi is so busy that his feet don't touch the ground all day long, Bohu and Xiao Xue are busy training the guard rate all day long, and they don't even have time to find flowers and ask willows, and even I was arrested. If you want a few prime ministers to chase your ass and let you obey the rules, you can just lean your back against the big tree to enjoy the shade! ”
After all, people can't think about it so deeply for a long time, and at this time, Qu Tu Zhongxiang finally opened his mouth, and quickly coughed dryly and changed his words: "I can't be idle in this house, and it's not okay if there is no one in Tianzhu, I have to go on the road in a few days......"
"Ahem, I've finally come back after all these years, how can I leave so quickly?"
What kind of person is Li Xian, it is so easy to come back with someone who can share the joys and sorrows with him, how could he easily let people go? Without saying a word, he personally poured a bowl of wine and poured it for Qu Tu Zhongxiang, and then he said with a smile: "You don't have to worry about Tianzhu, Lao Huo's cousin Xie Yang is just competent." You kid has come out of the experience, how can you not help me share a little burden? ”
Although Qu Tu Zhongxiang has an excellent amount of wine now, as soon as he sat down, he was poured a belly of yellow soup and thick wine for various reasons, and at this time, he was quite dizzy with another bowl of belly. However, what made him dizzy was Li Xian's call. If his original ideal was to eat and wait for death to run rampant and domineering for a lifetime, and then to be a manly husband to create a meritorious career, then after walking a long circle in the wind and rain, his big wish will return to the original point again.
Drinking and chatting, watching singing and dancing, running horses, and living a leisurely life, this is the ultimate in life!
However, in the blink of an eye, Li Xian smiled and made arrangements for Qu Tu Zhongxiang - Zuo Yulin's military commander history. Under the circumstance that Li Xian, the general of Zuo Yulin, was not in charge of anything at all, this long history was almost the leader of half of the forbidden army. Faced with this appointment, Qu Tu Zhongxiang was dumbfounded for a moment, and then showed an angry expression.
"If I'm not mistaken, the Yulin Army is the forbidden army of the Son of Heaven, and if you appoint it casually without saying a word, you won't be afraid that Your Majesty will be unhappy?"
"Zhong Xiang, this Liulang can't wait for His Majesty to be unhappy!" Li Jingye patted Qu Tu Zhongxiang's shoulder considerately, with a sly smile on his face, "You don't know for a long time, Your Majesty has given Liulang a year at least one-third of the time, if this can be reduced by a few days, he will probably jump up with joy." ”
"But Queen Taishang ......"
"Queen Taishang, you don't have to worry, who doesn't know, Liulang is a powerful arm of Queen Taishang?" Cheng Bohu shrugged his shoulders with a smile, "Otherwise, how could Xiao Xue and I be the right and left guards?" If this is based on the qualifications of the two of us, it would be too young to wait for another ten years and eight years to sit in this position! ”
These other people have almost helped, and Li Xian couldn't help but make a concluding statement with a smile: "All in all, Zhong Xiang, you will be determined to be your official, and after half a year, this grade will naturally be promoted!" My matter, no one in Luoyang City dares to talk nonsense now! ”
