Chapter 788: A Visitor from Anxi

Wang Zhongsi was transferred from Yunzhou to Hexi, and from Hexi to Longyou, with great military achievements, orders and prohibitions, and the army and the people were all familiar with his achievements, and there were countless people who had recommended themselves. Although he doesn't judge people by his appearance, the person who just said that he was squinting and thin, revealing a bit of wisdom at first glance, really gave him a very bad impression at first sight. Therefore, he avoided the important and said lightly: "Since this person is familiar with his handsome friends, he must be a talented person. My attendant does not seek to read and write, but to be brave and unstoppable. Those who ask for it, make a strong voice and set an example for the armies! If I recommend this person today, I will definitely give in. ”

Du Shiyi is not surprised by Wang Zhonghe's remarks. If it weren't for the fact that the young man seemed to be Wang Changling and Gao Shi's companion, he wouldn't have spoken out to bring people into the Governor's Mansion to wait. So, he smiled and said, "In this case, the loyal heir will first meet the young uncle and Duff with me." Shao Bo and Dafu are passionate and bold, and the poems are even more majestic, generous and sad, mostly involved in the military and the side, compared to Taibai Haoran and Ji Ling, they are different! ”

To say that most of the scribes who intersected with Du Shiyi were leaders in the poetry world, Wang Zhongsi also knew the Tao. Although he is not good at poetry, he has been studying in the palace since he was a child, and he naturally has some respect for scholars. On the way to Zhenqiang Zhai, Du Shiyi praised Wang Changling and Gao Shi's poetry, he unconsciously had a strong interest in the two, when he came to the door of Zhenqiang Zhai, he only heard a sound of singing in the middle.

"In the Qin period, the bright moon and the Han period, the Long March has not been returned. But to make the dragon city fly will not teach Humadu Yin Mountain. After singing the four sentences, the voice paused slightly, and continued, "I haven't been with you for a day or two, but among your many poems and songs, this one is the crown!" ”

"If you don't go to the Western Regions, you don't know how big the world is, this trip to Anxi, we can be regarded as turning around between life and death, and then compose poems in the future, I'm afraid that we will never be able to look at it again!"

Du Shiyi heard that Wang Changling's voice was a little hoarse, her heart moved, she waved her hand to stop Wu Tianqi, who was standing in front of the door, and personally stepped forward to push the door and entered: "After three years, I don't want to meet Shaobo and Dafu again in Shanzhou!" ”

Wang Changling and Gao Shi were sitting opposite each other and chatting, when they heard the voice at this moment, they saw that it was Du Shiyi and Wang Changling who came in one after the other, and the two hurriedly got up to greet each other. Gao Shicai called out as soon as Du Dashuai spoke, and saw Du Shiyi's face sank.

"Duff is not my subordinate, how can he be called a handsome? Don't you think I'm a friend? ”

Wang Changling suddenly smiled, patted Gao Shi's shoulder, stepped forward and happily said: "After three years, I didn't think that although Brother Junli is no longer in charge, he is out of the town and Longyou, and his majesty is even greater!" Duff and I heard your reputation in Longyou in the Western Regions, from Guo Yingyi, to Guo Jiaxuan's child, and then to Taozhou Thorn Shi Luoqun, and bluntly defended General Wang, and transferred General Wang to accompany him, and then broke the Tubo cross-border soldiers and horses, so that Tubo had to submit to softness, although it did not prosper the army, but raised the prestige of my Tang Army, which is really admirable! Today, outside the gate of the Governor's Mansion, I saw Brother Junli's majesty, and General Wang was majestic, and the two of us were like onlookers watching the soldiers and civilians for a while, and we couldn't take our eyes off it! ”

Even if he is not familiar with Wang Changling Gao Shi, but Wang Changling's respect for him is beyond words, Wang Zhongsi is naturally quite happy, Du Shiyi smiled modestly, and he had to be humble.

And Gao Shi smiled bitterly: "What a young uncle, snatch everything I want to say and say it, what kind of sycophants do you want me to give Brother Junli and General Wang again?" Remember to leave half of what you say in the future, and don't finish everything other people have to say! ”

Du Shiyi laughed for a while, and after returning to the main seat, he invited the three of them to sit separately, and then he asked with great interest: "The young man who asked for the loyal heir today, I saw you hearing the sound and looked sideways, could it be that he is on the same road with you?" ”

"Brother Junli is right." At the mention of this, Gao Shi was suddenly a little embarrassed, he glanced at Wang Zhonghe, the main person of the matter, and saw that his face was indifferent, so he helplessly explained, "From Hexi to Anxi, although there are many business trips, but the road is not very peaceful. Whether it is the Tuqi Shi, the Qarluq, or even the Tibetans, there are often raids by soldiers and horses, and as for the horse thieves and thieves, it is even more difficult to avoid. Although Brother Junli helped Cheng Yi and sent servants to escort him, the young man and I were repeatedly saved from danger along the way, but before we arrived at Qiuzi, we were attacked by a group of horse thieves and lost all our bags. ”

Wang Changling saw Du Shiyi's expression of concern when he arrived, and he said: "Although Duff and I are not powerless, and the servants are also brave, we reluctantly retreated from the enemy and arrived in Qiuzi Town, where the Anxi Protectorate is located, but since we are penniless, we naturally have no choice but to find people to eat." ”

The so-called beggar food is a very popular practice during the travels of scholars. That is, when the travel is difficult, go to the local high-ranking officials or wealthy gentry or fellow villagers to ask for funding, most of the time, those who have the ability will give generously, of course, it is common to meet such arrogant and domineering people, and it is common to receive a few white eyes. Therefore, thinking that he invited the two of them to the Western Regions, because of this kind of torment, Du Shiyi couldn't help but feel a little guilty.

Gao Shi saw Du Shiyi's mood change, and quickly explained: "Fortunately, although there are many Hu people in Qiuzi Town, there are not a few people who are kind and generous. With our poetic talents, my young uncle and I mingled among those Hu merchants and Hu people to cheat and eat and drink, but we also had a good time, and even set off from Qiuzi to Shule, Khotan, Yanqi, and Xiaye. However, because of the grace of His Majesty at the beginning of his ascension to the throne, the broken leaves are now in the hands of the Turges, and we encountered unreasonable Turgish patrols, and almost fell into bad luck again, but the young uncle cleverly sacrificed your name. The Marshal of Longyou Du is also well-known in the Western Regions, and the princess of Jiaohe, the queen of Tuqi Shi, even invited me to a banquet for this reason, which is also worth the trip. ”

"Duff, don't put gold in my face." Du Shiyi was relieved to learn that the two of them had been blessed by misfortune, and immediately forgot about the squint-eyed young man waiting in the small hall, and asked with great interest about what they had seen and heard in the Western Regions.

Not only him, but Wang Zhonghe, who had never walked so far to the west, was also quite interested in the situation of the four towns of Anxi, and when he heard that Wang Changling and Gao Shi had gone as far as Anxizhou, he also took a light breath: "No wonder the handsome said on the road before, the two of them have been gone for three years, and it turned out that they had seen the Western Regions!" ”

"It may not be possible to see it all, for example, Xiao Bolu is in the south of several snow-capped mountains, the mountains are high and the roads are far away, and even the merchants who are heavy profits do not dare to easily climb over them, and of course we do not have the courage and perseverance, and we are afraid of encountering war there. For example, in the states of Hosoliushu and other states in the south of the Green Mountains, it is said that the Great Food Country is also plotting to visit this place due to time constraints, so we were not able to visit it. All in all, it was just a sightseeing experience, to a few important towns, met a lot of hospitable tribes, and also met a lot of similarly 'hospitable' horse thieves, it was really a scene that was very different from the scenery of the Central Plains, and it was worth the trip! ”

Du Shiyi heard Wang Changling talk about Xiao Bolu, and couldn't help but feel moved. And Wang Changling said that after talking about the most, he humorously teased a few words, and then remembered the matter, and suddenly slapped his thigh.

"Speaking of which, I forgot about that guy! Brother Junli, the person who spoke out today was met by the two of us on their return trip in Qiuzi Town, the capital of Anxi. He was originally from Puzhou, because his grandfather committed a crime and went to Anxi as a guard at the south gate of the moat, and his parents died early, and he went with him, after his grandfather died, he was the only one who was alone and poor, and he worked as a miscellaneous merchant to make a living on weekdays. The two of us had a little trouble at that time, and he helped the two of us escape. He said that he wanted to go back to his hometown to see, so he simply went all the way. ”

Wang Changling mentioned a **** lawsuit in Nahu Shang, but he was also a little uncomfortable, and quickly changed the topic and said: "This person's surname is Feng, his name is Changqing, and he is called Feng Er." ”

Anthy ...... Seal two seals Changqing! Thin and squinted, he seemed to vaguely notice that this person was still a little lame!

Du Shiyi's heart was churning for a while, but he thought that he was no longer Wuxia Ameng now, and he was by no means without talents, even if it was really Feng Changqing, and now he was only a humble and lonely person, and it was easy to arouse suspicion if he treated him too much, so he continued to sit cross-legged calmly, because he smiled: "This person is quite eye-catching, and today he is in front of the Shanzhou Governor's Mansion to see the shape of the loyal heir!" ”

"General Wang is a famous general in the world, both wise and brave, Feng Er is most envious of those generals on weekdays, and it is inevitable to have this heart. Duff and I were on the way back, and we only said that we couldn't stay in the Central Plains so we avoided Anxi, so the family thought that we were also the ones who had taken refuge in the sinful place of our father's ancestors, and he thought so. Feng Eryin studied with his grandfather since he was a child, and his knowledge is far from being comparable to that of the local Hu people in Anxi. After regretting the sinner, he has an inferiority complex and admiration for nobility, and he has no heroic spirit, but he has always been afraid that people will look down on him. ”

Gao Shi is also a father and ancestor, and he has been lonely and poor since he was a child, but he likes to make friends the most, and he has not done less things to stick a knife in his friend's ribs, even if he saw Du Shiyi for the first time at that time, he was already a member of the Zhongshu House, and he did not show envy, jealousy and hatred. Therefore, while explaining Feng Changqing's actions today, he couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed. And Wang Changling, who is also a poor young man and self-sufficient, but studied hard, and his life did not improve slightly until after Jinshi and the first, and his evaluation of Gao Shi and Feng Changqing is naturally similar. In this way, Du Shiyi noticed that Wang Zhongsi frowned slightly again.

So, this night, Du Shiyi set up a banquet to entertain Wang Changling and Gao Shi, and left him in the guest room, knowing that Wang Zhonghei had no intention of keeping this Changqing, after he sent him back, he then summoned Zhang Xing, and briefly described the matter of Feng Changqing, and then instructed: "Seeing the words and deeds of Zhonghei today, I'm afraid I am not interested in this person." But as Shaobo and Duff said, although this person is despicable and from a humble background, he may be a talented person. You are my secretary in charge, in charge of Longyou's secrets, you might as well summon this person to see, if you have real talent and learning, I will take care of it. ”

Du Shiyi is by no means the only one who is born in a famous family and has a surname, but Zhang Xing is the one who stands out from his hands, so when Du Shiyi said so, he immediately agreed. When he got out of Zhenqiang Zhai and called the servant to ask where Feng Changqing was placed, he thought about it for a while and said, "And bring this person to my study in the courtyard!" ”
