Chapter 69: The Teahouse Meets the Dead

Out of the Qianjin Medical Hall, Xuan Shijing found a teahouse by Xuanwu Lake, saying that he wanted to drink tea, in fact, he was here to rest and eat some snacks.

"Shi Hu, in the past two days, I am either in Zhuangzi, or in the mansion, is there anything new in Chang'an City?" Xuan Shijing asked.

"What else could there be?" Shi Hu, who was sitting on the other side of the table, said: "It's nothing more than the big exam in the spring of next year, and now there are students from various state capitals in Chang'an City who have stayed in the major restaurants and inns, all of them are literati and scholars, and I am a vulgar man, but I can't go with them." ”

Hearing this, Xuan Shijing smiled: "That's right, if you want to deal with them, it's better for you to go to the mountains to fight with the bear blind man, what about other news?" ”

"Hou Junji, the general manager of the Jiaohe Road March, led the army to attack Qu Wentai, the king of Gaochang, and now that the army has arrived in Liuzhou, it is estimated that Gaochang is not far from destruction." Shi Hu said.

"I didn't expect you to care about these national affairs." Xuan Shijing teased.

"I heard about this in Chang'an City, just walk down the street, sit in the teahouse, you can hear all kinds of news, most of them are the news from some caravans who have returned to Chang'an, and I have heard that it is not necessarily true or false." Shi Hu said: "But this Hou Junji fights Gaochang, it sounds like our Datang has a really big chance of winning, but it's a pity, if I am in the army, how can I say that I can mix a hundred people and so on." ”

"A hundred people? The battlefield is extremely dangerous, but it is not something that can be eaten by relying on a small amount of bravery. Xuan Shijing smiled: "No matter how powerful you are, can you compare to Xiang Yu, the overlord of Chu?" Or can it be compared to Wenhou Lu Bu? ”

"Master Hou, it's still clear how much ability the little one has, the little one is not suitable for being a general, but it's still okay to be an ordinary brave pawn who charges into battle." Shi Hu said with a smile.

"Oh? Shi Hu, do you belong to the Italian army? Xuan Shiqing asked.

Hearing this, Shi Hu scratched his head and said with a smile: "It's okay, but it's already good to be able to follow Hou Ye now." ”

"Don't be sloppy with Ben Hou, if you like it, if you don't like it, if you don't like it, you don't even dare to say what you like, don't say it when you go out in the future, don't say it's my Dongshan Hou Mansion, it's a shame." Xuan Shijing pretended to be disdainful and said.

"Then since you say so, Master Hou, then I'll tell the truth, I know that I am simple-minded, this Chang'an City is very deep, not suitable for a rough man like me, maybe the northwest battlefield is my Shihu's happy place!" Shi Hu said.

"Come on, I know, I'll ask Brother Mo at the beginning of spring next year, if you have the chance, you can follow him, and you can help me protect Brother Mo on the battlefield." Xuan Shijing said.

"Thank you Lord Hou for your promotion!" When Shi Hu heard Xuan Shijing say this, he hurriedly got up and hugged his fists to thank him.

"What's polite, you are all rare talents from Zhuangzi, you should all have a broader world, Gao Jun stayed in Chang'an, stayed by my side, that's because of Long'er, and you are different." Xuan Shijing said with a smile.

"Brother Xuan!"

Xuan Shijing was talking to Shi Hu, but he heard someone in the teahouse calling him.

"Gu Feng?" Xuan Shijing looked back, but saw an acquaintance, it was the caravan guard he asked him to help carry the letter on the way back from Longxi, Gu Feng.

Gu Feng walked over with his tea bowl and asked with a smile, "Brother Xuan doesn't mind sitting here." ”

"You and I are also people who have had a relationship, so there is no need to be restrained." Xuan Shijing smiled and replied, "Please be seated." ”

Gu Feng sat down opposite Xuan Shijing and looked at Shi Hu sitting next to Xuan Shijing: "Who is this?" ”

"This is my guard, Shi Hu." Xuan Shijing introduced: "Shi Hu, this is what I met on the road when I came back from Longxi, Gu Feng, Brother Gu. ”

Shi Hu arched his hand at Gu Feng: "Gu Gongzi." ”

When Gu Feng heard Shi Hu's address to himself, he waved his hand again and again: "It's just a caravan guard in Xia, and I don't dare to be called a son, I don't dare to be it." ”

"Brother Gu came to Chang'an this time, but did he come to visit Gu Yuancheng's son?" Xuan Shijing asked.

Gu Feng nodded and said: "Exactly, in the spring of next year, my brother will take the big exam, so I resigned from the leader of the caravan and made a special trip back to Chang'an to visit my brother. ”

"It's okay, the northwest has not been peaceful recently, and Brother Gu is really dangerous to be a guard in the caravan, so if Brother Ling is in high school next year, Brother Gu will not have to go to the bitter cold land in the northwest to suffer." Xuan Shijing said.

"A rough person like me wants to go to the northwest to join the army, so that he can have a future for himself, but he has no way." Gu Feng said.

Hearing this, Xuan Shijing glanced at Shi Hu, Shi Hu also seemed to sense something, and Xuan Shijing wanted to take care of each other, but neither of them spoke.

This Gu Feng should know his identity, Xuan Shijing thought to himself, Shi Hu's voice just now, his voice was not low

Xuan Shijing smiled: "It's the end of the year now, Brother Gu wants to join the army, but there is no need to worry, now in the Tang Dynasty, the four seas are leveling, even if you join the army, you may not have the opportunity to go out to make contributions, it's better to stay in Chang'an first, isn't Gu Yuancheng's son still in Chang'an?" As an elder brother, Brother Gu has to wait until Gu Yuancheng's son gets married or Brother Gu himself, and it is time to start a family. ”

When Gu Feng heard this, he smiled and said, "With such a family background as mine, what girl can look at it?" And who will have parents who will marry their daughter to a person who is wandering around and has no fixed home? ”

"Therefore, what Brother Gu is thinking about now is not how to go to the battlefield, but how to start a family, as the saying goes, there are three unfilial pieties, and no queen is great, Brother Gu has worked hard for Brother Gu for so many years, and it is time to think about yourself." Xuan Shijing said.

What Xuan Shijing didn't mention to Gu Feng was that the Gu Yuancheng he saw didn't seem to be as simple as it seemed, but Gu Feng's mind was on this only brother for most of his life, Xuan Shijing couldn't bear to break his yearning, maybe Gu Feng's stay in Chang'an was also a kind of urging for Gu Yuancheng.

Seeing Gu Yuancheng for the first time, after contact, Xuan Shijing felt that Gu Yuancheng was a founder student, but later he was in the backyard of Guozijian with Gu Yuancheng, and between watching him talk, although there was nothing wrong, Xuan Shijing always felt that there was a little bit wrong, this was Xuan Shijing's intuition, but he didn't know whether this intuition was credible.

Gu Feng thought about it carefully, and felt that what Xuan Shijing said was also quite reasonable, nodded and said: "Brother Xuan is right, the most important thing in eyeliner is the big exam for the next year. (To be continued.) )
