Chapter 3 I want to offer treasures
"How do you know?"
Xiao Qu reacted to his illness, and it stands to reason that he really shouldn't know about this. But the words have been spoken, and they cannot be taken back, so they can only follow it downward. Xiao Quzhi thought for a while, learned their accent, and said loudly: "I was ordered by the teacher to go down the mountain to help the high school." ”
Xiao Quai's words were stumbling and awkward, but Gao Xianzhi pondered for a while and understood most of them. He was still not at ease, so he asked Xiao Qu to write it out again.
Gao Xianzhi took the notebook handed by the soldier, feeling that he was overreacting, he ordered the soldier to put away his sword and arrows. The other party's words, he believed a little, and a little couldn't believe it.
If you want to say that you believe it because you have seen it with your own eyes, the thunderball flew over your head, and then a big hole was smashed in the ground, and the person in front of you must have come out of this big pit, which can be seen from the black ash on his face. If you can't believe it, it's because it's so bizarre.
In fact, Gao Xianzhi was wrong about this, the black on Xiao Quzhi's face was not blackened by the heat of the explosion like a pit on the ground, but the body had evolved and discharged the toxic impurities in the body. He saw Gao Xianzhi staring at his face, and took out his mobile phone from his backpack to take a photo, why is it so dark? He took out a wet tissue and wiped his face.
He froze.
The big black screen of the mobile phone clearly reflects a handsome face, is this himself? The silhouettes are similar, but everywhere seems to have been fine-tuned. It's like yourself after going through the best PS software PS. also has that look and temperament, which is simply a fairy.
I've become so good-looking!
Xiao Qu was not the only one who was stunned, but also the rest of the entire scene. Gao Xianzhi was also stunned, this famous Tang Dynasty general who was recorded as "beautiful qualification" in the New Tang Dynasty has always had enough confidence in his appearance, but in the face of this strange man who fell from the sky in front of him, he still had to admit that he was a little worse than him, and this unearthly immortal temperament alone could not be compared.
If just now, Gao Xianzhi was still suspicious of Xiao Quzhi's identity, then now, he believes it a little. Such a character, how can there be in the mortal world?
The other sergeants were also stunned, they thought he had short hair and thought he was a miscellaneous beard in the river, but now when they saw the true face of this person, they all praised him in their hearts: What a handsome Han Jialang!
Gao Xianzhi quickly made a decision, and as he spoke, he picked up Xiao Quai's carbon pen and wrote in the notebook in the posture of holding the brush words: "In this case, then go with me on the road." ”
Then Gao Xianzhi loudly ordered to set off, someone had already helped tie Xiao Quai's suitcase to the pack horse, and someone brought a war horse to Xiao Quai. After a long delay, the team restarted the journey.
The three big characters of "Hecangfeng" were engraved on the high stone wall, Xiao Qubing looked up for a few seconds, and as the knights of the brigade slowly walked across the suspension bridge on the trench, they walked into this beacon fortress standing alone in the yellow sand of the desert.
Hecangfeng, about 240 miles northwest of Shazhou, after Hecangfeng and then to the north, is a big Gobi called Mohe Yan Mobi (now Hashun Gobi), beyond Mohe Yan Moraine and continue to the west, that is, Moxi is often called the Western Regions.
Hecang Feng is a big beacon, as the last beacon to enter the west of Longyou, in addition to being responsible for passing the beacon fire, it is also a military village, garrisoning about 50 people, and has the function of a post station and a fortress.
There is a river named Duanshui outside the river, which is today's Shule River, but the water flows here, and it can no longer be called a river, but can only be regarded as a small stream that is intermittent. Xiao Quzhi scrubbed his body by the stream, changed into a set of white collared Taoist clothes that he wore for practice, tied his hair up, and Gu Xiaojun found a flat hat to help him put it on.
On the way to He Cangfeng, Gu Xiaojun accompanied Xiao Quai, and along the way, Xiao Qubing kept learning Tang Yin from him, and the two were already able to communicate briefly at this moment. To be honest, although there was a misunderstanding when the two met for the first time, Xiao Qubing also unloaded his wrist. But Gu Xiaojun didn't hate the other party at all, but admired it more.
This is the character of the Tang people. The Tang people are still martial, and what they admire is the capable, brave and fearless real man, and they despise the cowardly beggars. Xiao Quai's illness is undoubtedly tempered by the Tang people at this point.
Gu Xiaojun watched Xiao Quai's dressing up, and couldn't help nodding secretly, thinking that this guy was going to Chang'an, and he didn't know how many noble ladies he was going to charm, little lady.
The two talked and laughed all the way back to Hecangfeng, and Xiao Qubing continued to ask Gu Xiaojun for Tang Dynasty dialect. The two walked up to the wall, and Xiao Quzhi suddenly stopped talking, and turned his head to look at a sand dune a hundred steps away from the wall.
Gu Xiaojun felt something was wrong, and stopped talking, he looked at Xiao Quzhi suspiciously: "What's wrong?" ”
"It's nothing, it's just that it suddenly feels like someone is spying on me."
Gu Xiaojun touched his head, and then suddenly reacted: "You are enough, I know that you are handsome, but don't be so stinky and beautiful!" ”
"I'm not kidding, someone is really spying on us, right in the direction of that dune."
Gu Xiaojun looked in the direction of Xiao Qu's illness, and saw that the yellow sand was long, and there was nothing, "Come less, go up quickly, Zhongcheng is waiting for you inside." ”
"Cut, don't believe pull down."
Gu Xiaojun led Xiao Qubing to a two-story house shaped like a watchtower next to the central beacon tower of Hecang Fengpu, shouted a report, and signaled Xiao Qubing to hurry in.
"Meet the high school." Xiao Qu walked into the room and bowed.
Gao Xianzhi's eyes lit up, he didn't expect Xiao Quzhi's accent to learn so quickly, although it was not very standard, but at least he could fully understand it. He signaled that Xiao Qu's illness did not need to be polite, and introduced the other two people in the room, Duan Xiushi and Lieutenant Envoy Wang Chengen. Then he said, "You said that you were ordered by the master to come down the mountain to help so-and-so?" ”
Xiao Quzhi knew that Gao Xianzhi was going to ask this question, and along the way, Xiao Quzhi had already thought it through. The words have already been spoken, so they can only continue to be compiled; Besides, he just has nowhere to stand, and there is no way out, so it would be good if he could hug Gao Xianzhi's thigh.
It would be even better if it could really help Gao Xianzhi win the upcoming Battle of Talas, drive the Great Cannibal out of the river, and Datang would become the master of Zhaowu Jiu.
As for winning this battle, it's useless, the Anshi Rebellion will break out soon, and everything is still empty, this is not a problem that needs to be considered now. Besides, isn't there still four and a half years left, and maybe by that time, it may not be possible to have the ability to stop the Anshi Rebellion.
The question now is how to make Gao Xianzhi believe in himself. For this point, Xiao Quzhi also has a plan.
Xiao Quzhi glanced at Duan Xiushi and the eunuch Wang Chengen next to him, Duan Xiushi was nothing, sitting on the Hu bed, with a calm face. The little fat eunuch Wang Chengen seemed to have a needle under his buttocks, and there was fire in his eyes, and when he saw Xiao Qu coming in, his face was eager.
Xiao Qu's illness was hairy by the dead eunuch, and he thought, I know that there was a eunuch named Wang Chengen in the Ming Dynasty, and finally hanged himself with Chongzhen, why did the Tang Dynasty also have one? Why are you looking at me like this, what's wrong?
Xiao Quzhi groaned for a while and said: "I was ordered to go down the mountain this time, one is to offer treasures to the emperor, and the other is to help each other. ”
"What, Offering Treasure?" Hearing the word "offering treasures", the little fat eunuch Wang Chengen's eyes lit up, and he almost jumped up with excitement: "Where is the treasure, hurry up and present it!" ”
Wang Chengen was originally a confidant of Tang Xuanzong, and he was enshrined in his office. Usually in charge of some legal affairs, procurement and other matters, but the life is free and rich. But there are always deficiencies in people's hearts, Wang Chengen saw that Bian Lingcheng and others were supervising the army outside, and their meritorious service was not small, and he was very enthusiastic about his clansmen. Therefore, this time he asked Tang Xuanzong for this errand to supervise the army, and went to Anxi with Gao Xianzhi.
A few days after leaving Chang'an, Wang Chengen regretted it a little, and rode on a horse every day, until the bones of his whole body were torn apart. It's really hard to come, let go of the comfortable days in the palace, but run to the side to endure hardships.
Wang Chengen regretted that his intestines were going to be green at this time, but there was no way, the road was chosen by himself, so he could only suffer. It wasn't until today that Xiao Qu's illness appeared that he no longer regretted his decision this time.
Immortal disciple, if you report this news to the emperor, what a credit it will be, just thinking about it makes people so excited that they can't sit still anymore!
Others don't know, as Tang Xuanzong's henchman and little eunuch, Wang Chengen knows too well. As early as the first year of Tianbao, the emperor built a hall of eternal life in Huaqing Palace, worshipping immortals all day long. Once the emperor told the prime minister that he once set up an altar in the palace to pray for the blessings of the people, and as soon as he put the yellow watch on the altar, the yellow watch suddenly flew to the sky, and then he heard a voice in the air: "The holy life is extended."
Another time, Wang Chengen accompanied the emperor to put away the pill placed on the altar, and the emperor heard someone in the air say at this time: "The medicine does not need to be collected, this is self-protection." But on the sidelines, he heard nothing.
For such an emperor who wants to go crazy for immortality, Wang Chengen knows it well. His only concern was that Xiao Quzhi was a liar. So before reporting to the emperor, he has to confirm and reconfirm. And the best way to confirm is what immortal secret treasure the other party can come up with.
Originally, Wang Chengen had been thinking about how to tell Xiao Qubing about this idea, but he didn't expect Xiao Qubing to say it himself. Wang Chengen felt that happiness came too quickly, and he couldn't believe his ears.
Seeing Wang Chengen's reaction, Xiao Quzhi snorted coldly in his heart: "Dead eunuch, don't drop your eyeballs out later." ”
Xiao Quzhi opened his backpack and took out three "treasures": a hand-cranked electric camping lantern; A jar of sticky rice wine brewed by the master, and a box of Ferrero cherry wine chocolates. Camping lanterns are sometimes used in the mountains; This jar of wine is carefully brewed by the master to honor the grandfather, the koji is added with more than 10 flavors of precious Chinese medicine, invigorating the blood and circulation, and the 56 ° liquor is used to replace the pure underwater wine when the altar is loaded, which is more intoxicating than the liquor; Wine chocolate is practiced in the mountains to replenish energy at any time.
Of course, there are better things in Xiao Quai, such as mobile phones, such as laptops, but these two things must not be seen. Come to think of it, only these three are the most suitable, which are both shocking and will not reveal their secrets.
Xiao Qubing thought about it, Gao Xianzhi would be defeated when he went to Talas this time, and his goal was to help him win the defeat. And to do this, you must make Gao Xianzhi believe in himself and adopt his own advice.
It's like now, if you say to Gao Xianzhi with empty white teeth: "My master said that you will lose this time, so he asked me to come down the mountain to help you, so you have to listen to my advice." Gao Xianzhi will inevitably not be as angry as Cao Cao: "Pifu'an dares to disturb the hearts of our army, drag it out and cut it." ”
Therefore, before answering the question, you must increase your weight in Gao Xianzhi's mind. Sacrifice the magic weapon and blind the eyes of this Goryeo stick.
Only in this way can you fool others and say it. At that time, even if Gao Xianzhi didn't believe it, he would not have an immediate attack, but would choose to be patient for the time being and let himself finish his words.
Then it's time to put your eloquence and layout skills to the test. Xiao Quai's goal is not just to help Gao Xianzhi win the battle of Talas. The more important goal is to make Gao Xianzhi understand that without himself, he will not win, he will lose very badly, so that Gao Xianzhi will admit his feelings. It's all that pays off.
The kind of thing that is dedicated to benefiting others and not self-interested, I won't do it when I'm sick.
Well, flicker Gao Xianzhi's first bullet, start.
