Chapter Twenty-Three: Candlelight Night Talk

Qi country.

Chang'an City.

Qi Wangfu.

Wellness Temple.

The hall is not big, the decoration is extravagant and gorgeous, and it is full of valuable things in the Western Regions. The ground is covered with a thick red silk carpet, the pillars are gilded and carved with a picture of the nine sons of the dragon, and the sandalwood bowl is also carved with gold, which is the spice that only the nobles of the Western Regions can afford, and the smoke is wafting. The tables and chairs are rare mahogany transported from various countries, and skilled craftsmen have carved dense reliefs, and a bronze sheep's head is placed on the table, which is vivid.

Qi An pushed open the door of the hall, stretched out an arm with a big grin, and said, "Brother, please." ”

Qi Yu was dressed in plain civilian clothes, stepped into the hall, and saluted Qi An, who had a fat belly: "Brother is polite, please." ”

Qi An closed the door of the hall behind him, turned around and walked onto the red carpet, and said loudly: "Our brothers are not polite, and there are no outsiders here." ”

He walked into the hall in a few steps, sat down on the wide wooden chair with his bloated buttocks, took a deep breath of spices, looked at Qi Yu who was standing aside, and said, "What are you still standing for, sit." ”

Qi Yu smiled and took a seat on the wooden chair opposite him.

Qi An smiled at him innocently, patted his thigh and said, "Oh, my brother will choose the place." I was going to set you two tables in my room, but you chose this place, you know me. ”

With that, he laughed out loud.

Qi Yu grinned lightly and said, "It's just nothing today, I thought of my brother, so I came here to talk to my brother." ”

Qi An laughed, the facial features on his face were crowded, and he pointed at Qi Yu and said, "Hahahaha, the stinky brother finally remembered his brother, good guy, I thought you forgot about my brother." ”

As he spoke, he lay on the chair, looked at the decoration of the carved beams and paintings around him, and said lazily: "Ouch, we two brothers, when we were children, we came to this place to avoid the old man to teach. At that time, Uncle Huang didn't come often, and this place became our territory, and we came here every day to find treasures and explore, hehehehe. ”

Qi Yu took a sip of tea and said, "What my brother said is that at that time, it was a big disaster to come to this health hall to make trouble. ”

"But isn't it?, let's turn this place upside down!" Qi An smiled heartily, "At that time, Uncle Huang led someone to arrest us, and I pushed you out to take the blame, several times." Hey, hey, hey. ”

Qi Yu said with a faint smile: "Brother still remembers, later I was punished by the master for ten days to think about it behind closed doors and copy ten scriptures. ”

Qi An said: "Brother, don't hold a grudge against your brother, I went to the imperial dining room every day to steal big chicken legs for you to eat when you were punished, and risked my life to hang myself from the roof, and now I can't climb the roof." Before, it was swishing with both hands. When you come out after ten days, the old man was frightened when he saw it, his mouth was full of oil, and he gained a few pounds when he went in, hahahaha. ”

Qi Yu listened, smiled and nodded.

Qi An sank into the memory, as if there was an endless topic, and said: "Another time, I wanted to sneak out of the palace to gamble money, the old man was strict and took all my money, good guy, I will rob you, if you don't give it to me, I will press you on the edge of the pond in the back garden and beat you hard." ”

Qi Yu listened and didn't answer, Qi An continued: "I remember beating you the hardest in that meal, you looked at me with red eyes and murderous face, and you didn't cry, you didn't follow it, now that I think about it, it's really a man." ”

As he spoke, he gave Qi Yu a thumbs up and said, "I only snatched a dozen taels of silver from you that night, and I lost it all outside, and I still owe dozens of taels of silver to others in one night...... Called Dai ...... Replace it or something, let that buddy help me send a few soldiers, go out overnight and smash that casino, hey, the good guy also got back a few dozen taels of silver, hahahaha. ”

Qi Yu said: "Substitute for the salute." ”

Qi An was stunned for a moment, patted his head and said: "Oh, yes, yes, yes, that buddy, I remembered it, it seems that the old man promoted him when he was in power, the person is not bad, but the head is a tendon, a good guy is a healthy man, he speaks with a special sound, people are kneeling and are bigger than me standing, ho, I really don't know how his mother was born." ”

Qi Yu's face was a little stiff, and he picked up the teacup and took a sip, his eyes a little empty.

That year, when he led the army to attack Chaozhou, Dai Lixing was a general beside him, who loved the soldiers like a son, commanded the army in a good way, shouted a ride into the enemy, others did not dare to approach, and danced a glaive knife, the tiger and the tiger were in the wind, and Qi Yu admired a tiger general.

After the Huya Pass was broken, the Dai Li acted to protect Qi Yu to break through, and led tens of thousands of Qi troops to kill the Huya Pass, all the way unstoppable, like a tiger descending the mountain, killing the Chu army was like chopping grass and trees, so that the Chu army was frightened, called it the Tiger Wolf Army.

At this time, the Chu army occupied the favorable terrain of Huya Pass, and several mountains were condescending, but Dai Lixing led the army like a bamboo, and entered Huya Pass, which surprised the Chu general Li Qiuhan.

But Qi An did not move, only a dozen miles away from Huya Pass, looking at each other from a distance.

It was a good game, but it was beaten to a pulp. After Qi An successfully broke through, he gathered troops not far from Huya Pass, wanting to go to Huya Pass, but was nailed to the spot by several orders from Qi An.

He didn't know what Qi An had done with the imperial court, but he let himself watch his people trapped in the pass, and if he moved troops, he would be labeled as a rebel.

Qi Yu hammered his chest night and night, and handed the fold to the court to ask for help. By the time he sent the third fold to the imperial court, the Chu army had already completed the siege of Huya Pass.

After attacking for several days in a row, the Huya Pass was broken, and Dai Lixing led the army to resist at the gate of the city, but he was outnumbered and martyred.

Since then, the Chu army has been continuously attacked from Chaozhou, established several supply lines, and fought a protracted war, and the Qi army has been defeated and retreated one after another.

Qi Yu's memories erupted like a waterfall, beating his heart hard, and the pain was like a knife.

"What's wrong with you, brother? I've been serving this tea for a long time, it's so delicious? ”

Qi An's voice pulled his thoughts back, and a teardrop the size of a bean fell into the tea in his eyes, and he hurriedly covered it with his hand.

He squeezed out a smile at Qi An, handed over the tea, and said, "The tribute tea in the Western Regions has a soft taste and is really of the highest quality, brother, you can taste it." ”

Qi An took the tea, his eyes widened, and he said, "Ho! I thought the old man had arrested you, and I was so scared." ”

With that, he took the teacup and drank it all with his neck tilted.

"Tsk, where is it, it's still a little salty, my good brother, if you want to say soft, I can't drink tea as a rough person, but I ...... some treasures in the Western Regions" Qi An's obscene eyes narrowed, and said, "Brother, I still have a little opinion." ”
