In November in Hexi, the wild is already cold and windy.

Outside Guzang City, on the five-zhang wide cement straight road, there are still cars and people, and there is an endless stream.

In the midst of the rolling torrent, a horse-drawn carriage was slowly driving on the concrete straight.

The people in the car looked from afar through the window, but saw that Guzang City was already in sight.

The tall and sturdy city wall looks more magnificent and spectacular than the Central Plains Yecheng.

When the carriage drove through the doorway, the two people in the carriage suddenly felt as small as ants.

The streets are full of people.

Occasionally, you can see some Fanbang merchants with different skin tones passing by, speaking Chinese with strange tunes.

It is not as dilapidated as rumored at all, not to mention other places, Guzang alone can no longer feel the slightest depression, and it is even more prosperous than some places in Hebei.

In this regard, Gao Hu was quite uncomfortable, and couldn't help but sigh at Fu Mo on the other side.

"I thought that most of the protectors would only oppress the family, but I didn't expect that there were some means of governance."

"Look at the wide streets and magnificent cities outside, how can they be built without the slightest means?!"

Fu Mo also bowed his head slightly with a solemn face, and when he came to Hexi, he really realized that Hexi was strong.

And finally understood, why Dadu Hu was able to resist the three kingdoms of Qin, Wei and Yan alone.

"Yes, most of the guards are really powerful, and they have quietly tossed such a big business in the northwest."

Gao Hu shook his head, and then sighed: "Alas, Your Majesty's desire to form a distant alliance with Hexi and destroy the Northern Wei Dynasty together is tantamount to seeking skin with a tiger." ”

"Along the way, I saw that Hexi was rich, the soldiers were strong, the officials were clear, and all ethnic groups were harmonious, and it was the most powerful force in the north worthy of the name."

"For my Dayan, the safest plan is that Your Majesty should unite with Qin Wei and discuss Hexi together!"

"Now we want to engage in long-distance friendship and close attack, but we don't know that the plan to respond is a strategy for a strong country, and it is not appropriate for a small country."

"It's a pity that the whole of Houyan was blinded by hatred, and they wanted to sweep away Tuoba Jue to avenge the seizure of Youzhou."

"I don't know if they ever thought that once the Northern Wei Dynasty fell, how would Hou Yan face the more powerful Hexi?"

Hearing this, Fu Mo's face suddenly changed greatly, and he hurriedly pulled Gao Hu, and said hurriedly: "Dayuan, be cautious!" Beware of the misfortune that comes out of the mouth. ”

He glanced left and right again, and found that his entourage and guards had not paid attention, so he quietly breathed a sigh of relief.

This Gao Hu is self-proclaimed and famous, and he has always been open-mouthed, and even the things set by Murong Chui himself dare to criticize in private.

As Fu Jian's cousin, after the fall of the former Qin, Fu Mo could only live with his tail between his legs, but he didn't want to lose his life in a daze.

The reason why he was sent to Hexi this time was related to the fact that he was a former Qin clan.

It turned out that Murong Chui learned that Fu Deng's daughter had become Wei Shuo's wife and concubine, so he wanted Fu Mo to use the relationship to let Fu Qiong and Fu Guang brothers and sisters mediate one or two.

Next, Fu and Gao didn't talk anymore, and when they arrived at an inn, they silently got out of the carriage.

After getting out of the car, Gao Hu stomped his feet hard, and after really feeling the solidity and hardness of the cement floor, he sighed softly.

……

That night, Fu Mo took Gao Hu to visit the former Qin Situ Fu Guang.

If you really want to talk about it, Fu Mo is still an elder in the Fu Guang clan, but it's a pity that he doesn't have the confidence to put on a score.

In addition to the relatively estranged relationship between the two families, when Fu Chang was killed by Fu Sheng, he did not come forward to take care of Fu Deng and Fu Guang brothers.

Later, one of them resisted Houyan in Hebei, and the other dealt with Qianqin in Guanzhong, and there was no intersection again.

Besides, when the Fu Deng and Fu Guang brothers fought hard against Hou Qin, he, an elder, had already surrendered to Hou Yan early.

From this point of view, Fu Mo couldn't even raise his head in front of Fu Guang.

In addition, don't look at Fu Guang's lack of an official position, but his sister is now one of the Dadu Protectors.

With the tiger skin of Hexi, Fu Guang is much more majestic than him, the titular Zhongshan Yin.

Along the way, Fu Mo was apprehensive, for fear of being kicked out of the house by Fu Guang.

It's a small matter to be embarrassed, if Murong Chui's plan is ruined, I'm afraid there will be more than one bad luck.

Unexpectedly, to Fu Mo's expectations, Fu Guang not only did not turn him away, but also warmly entertained him and Gao Hu.

"The visit of Lord Gao and Lord Fu really makes our mansion shine."

While speaking, he saw Fu Guang wearing a Confucian robe and appeared in front of the two.

Since he returned to Hexi, Fu Guang turned to Confucianism, and even did not hesitate to study in the academy for this purpose.

Later, Wei Shuo praised him again and again after knowing about it, and also gave Fu Guang many gifts through Fu Qiong.

Since then, Fu Guang has become more and more energetic in studying Confucian classics, and he also considers himself a Confucian scholar on weekdays.

Unlike Fu Guang, who was dedicated to learning, Fu Chong, the former prince of Qin, relied on his aunt's love, did not like to study, and fought cocks and lackeys all day long.

"I've seen Mistress Fu." Fu Mo and Gao Hu have a request for others, so they put their posture very low.

"Eh, you're calling the wrong one!"

"Right now, Guang has no official position, and he can't be called an adult, so you still call me Gongyuan."

"I've seen Mr. Gongyuan."

After Fu Chong and Gao Hu gave the salute again, Fu Guangcai stepped forward and picked up the two.

"The two of you are not enjoying happiness in Hebei, why do you go all the way to Hexi to visit the next idler?"

"Hmm...... This one? ”

Because he didn't expect Fu Guang to be so direct, Gao Hu didn't know how to speak for a while, so he had to turn his gaze to Fu Mo.

Fu Mo sighed secretly, and said stubbornly: "Speaking of which, I am still related to Gongyuan. ”

"I came here today because of the old feelings, and I want to ask Gongyuan for help if I have something."

"Master Fu, it's not that you don't miss family affection, you really don't have an official position in your body, and I really don't know what I can help."

"Eh, Mr. Gongyuan is too modest."

"Who doesn't know that Princess Dongping is the wife of Dadu Hu today, and she is favored by Dadu Hu."

"As long as the princess is willing to help say a few words, what can't be done?"

"What?! Hum! It turns out that this is the idea of waiting for you, so don't blame you for turning your face ruthlessly and sending off guests! ”

"Huh? This...... What's going on? ”

Fu Guang turned his face when he said it, which caught Fu Mo and Gao Huquan off guard, and no one understood where they offended Fu Guang.

"What's going on? You don't know that most of the protectors have repeatedly ordered that the back house is not allowed to interfere in politics! ”

"Today, when you instigated you to go down and take the road of Princess Dongping, didn't you push my sister into the fire pit?"

Fu Guang stared at Gao Hu viciously and said: "Lao Tzu is dead, the eldest brother is dead, the country is dead, and there is no desire for fame and fortune for a long time." ”

"At the moment, I only hope that my sister and nephew will live well, if anyone dares to ruin Lao Tzu's plan, I will definitely not let him go."

"Back then, Qin was in danger, and Lao Tzu was reluctant to let his sister ask for protection."

"You can't wait for a distant relative, why do you have to take my family's future for you?"

Fu Mo and Gao Hu figured out the ins and outs of the matter, and had no choice but to apologize to Fu Guang again and again.

"Well, for your sake, I won't bother with you."

The three of them sat down again, and the atmosphere was a little awkward for a while, and no one knew what to say.

In the end, Fu Guang said: "Actually, you come to me, it's all too much, it's better to go directly to the capital protection mansion, and then you will have relevant personnel to entertain you." ”

"Hexi is different from other places, the most taboo is to meddle indiscriminately, and the bottom is privately taught and received."

"At the beginning, in order to rectify the order of officialdom, Daduhu didn't know how many people he killed for this, so that Hexi could learn to abide by the law."

"An idle person like me has no right to meddle in the affairs of the government, at most I can help you mention it to the capital in private."

Originally, after listening to Fu Guang's words, Fu Mo wanted to say goodbye, but who knew that Gao Hu was on the pole and asked Fu Guang for help.

Until the two left Fu Guang Mansion, Fu Mo never understood why Gao Hu did this.

"Master Fu, I see that you want to stop talking, do you have any doubts in your heart?"

"Exactly! Since Fu Guang has frankly admitted that he can't play a role, why does Master Gao still ask him for help? ”

Gao Hu glanced at Fu Mo and explained: "Master Fu doesn't know, that Fu Guang doesn't seem to want to help on the surface, but in fact, he wants to intervene more than anyone else in his heart, don't you think he is about to get sick?" ”

"Fu Guang is only in his forties, and he once served as a former Qin Situ, how can he say that he has no heart for fame and fortune?"

"Not to mention thinking about himself, he also has to think about Princess Dongping in the future, right?"

"Right now, he looks like he's bent on learning, but he's just acting for most of the guards."

"I think as long as there is an opportunity, Fu Guang will definitely seize it, and you and I are the only opportunity he can seize."

"Otherwise, as Fu Guang himself said, he is an idler, what reason does he have to pester Dadu Hu all day long?"
