It was time to go to the front line of the battlefield. There was actually a reason why Han Jie and his guards were so excited.

Although today's army of the Tang Dynasty has not regained the sharpness and sharpness of the early days of the founding of the country, the military achievements of the Tang Dynasty are still the most abundant. After a war, as long as he can kill the enemy and perform meritorious service, there will be generous rewards waiting for him, or he will be promoted to an official position.

, or land bounty.

Most of the guards came from poor backgrounds and were illiterate. Going into battle to kill the enemy and earn military merit was the only way to make a career.

Gu Qing understood their thoughts and couldn't persuade them any more.

We are all adults, and we know what it means to go to Anxi. Since we all want to make a bright future, let's go.

But Gu Qing felt a little sad in his heart. He knew that after leaving, these vivid faces in front of him would be missing a lot when they returned.

In fact, Gu Qing himself was afraid. He didn't want to go to Anxi at all.

Most of the relations between the Tang Dynasty and its neighboring countries are relatively harmonious. The subjects of Chang'an have seen countless grand events of thousands of nations coming to court, but some powerful neighboring countries still have wars and frictions with the Tang Dynasty from time to time.

The biggest powerful enemies are Tubo and the Dashi Kingdom in the far west. Therefore, most of the wars in the Tang Dynasty in recent years took place in the west, and the Anxi Protectorate was responsible for more than half of the wars in the Tang Dynasty.

This shows how difficult and dangerous it is to go to Anxi.

Gu Qing has never experienced a war in his life. To be honest, he is really a little scared at this moment.

If I turn around and enter the palace now, hugging Concubine Yang's plump thighs and call her adoptive mother, is it too late?

Trying to calm down, I thought that since I came to this world, I have killed village gangsters and governors. Killing people is no longer unfamiliar. Going to the battlefield... is just a one-on-one fight that turns into a group fight, not to mention that I have personal guards.

And with an official title, there is a high probability that he will not be allowed to go into battle to kill the enemy in person.

Gu Qing felt a little relieved before getting on the carriage and heading back home.

…………

After returning home, Gu Qing lived up to his expectations and had a hearty meal of delicious meat.

Steaming, frying, and frying all kinds of meats in various ways, which made Gu Qing feel sick in his stomach. He only felt greasy in his throat. If he took another bite, he would spit it out immediately. Gu Qing reluctantly gave up.

I don’t know if I can still live a life of eating meat every day after going to the Fourth Town of Anxi. Gu Qing felt sad when he thought about it, and when he felt sad, he wanted to eat more.

In the middle of the night, everything in Chang'an City was silent, and the courtyard of the Hou Mansion was also quiet. Only the guards who took shifts patrolled back and forth in the mansion with swords in hand.

A shrill scream pierced the silence of the night sky, the scream was miserable and terrifying, and the entire wing of the Hou Mansion was lit up one after another.

Han Jie put on his sword and led a group of guards into the backyard archway with a look of shock on his face. He grabbed a frightened maid and said sternly: "Where is Mr. Marquis? Who is screaming?"

The maid looked disgraceful, pointed to the east wing of the backyard and said with a trembling voice: "It was the Marquis who was calling just now..."

Han Jie led his guards into the side room. Behind a curtain in the side room, Gu Qing's screams continued. Two maids stood outside the curtain with frightened faces and at a loss.

Han Jie rushed in and shouted: "Is Mr. Hou okay? What happened?"

Behind the curtain, Gu Qing's screams stopped, and his breath was weak, as if a sentence burst out from between his teeth.

"I...it's okay, please step back."

How could Han Jie retreat when he screamed so miserably. After standing quietly for a moment, Han Jie's voice gradually became colder: "Is the Marquis alone in there? Is there anyone else? Is there an assassin who has kidnapped you?"

"It's really okay...you guys just step back." Gu Qing said weakly.

With a clang, Han Jie unsheathed his sword and pointed it at the curtain. The guards behind him all showed alert looks and drew their swords. Several of the guards walked out of the room very skillfully and stood with each other under the window lattice.

There was an ambush in the garden outside the door.

When the atmosphere suddenly became tense and solemn, a corner of the curtain was suddenly lifted, and Gu Qing's head was exposed from behind the curtain. His forehead was covered with cold sweat, his face was flushed, and his expression was ferocious.

Han Jie was shocked. He felt more and more that something was unusual. He immediately decided to take action. Just when the sword in his hand was about to cut through the curtain, Gu Qing suddenly said: "There is no one else inside except me. Brother Han, please don't mess with the decorations in my bedroom."

They are all expensive. If they are damaged, your salary will probably be deducted for two years..."

Han Jie finally held back, looked at Gu Qing's expression carefully, and said, "Is Mr. Hou okay? What happened?"

Gu Qing wiped the sweat from his forehead and said with a wry smile: "I'm really fine. I just had an occasional convulsion and wanted to scream a few times. If you stay with me for a long time, you will get to know me as a person, and then you will want to kill me..."

Seeing that Gu Qing was still in the mood to joke, Han Jie finally felt relieved and asked with concern: "Is Mr. Hou feeling ill? Do you need to call a doctor?"

"……unnecessary."

After Han Jie and his guards left hesitantly, Gu Qing ordered the maids to retreat.

Sitting alone on the bedside table behind the curtain, Gu Qing looked up at the beam with a helpless look on his face, and said sadly to himself: "I'm actually constipated... It's such a shameful disease, what should I do?"

…………

Gu Qing did not expect, and what was even more shameful was that he made too much noise. Han Jie was finally worried, so he and his guards surrounded the wing where Gu Qing lived. About a hundred people guarded the constipated Marquis for a whole day.

One night.

It is said that the Prince of the East Palace, Li Heng, never received such grand treatment on the night he was born.

In the early morning, Gu Qing was still lying on the bed and turning over.

The feeling of constipation is very uncomfortable, the upper and lower passages are blocked, and the stomach is uncomfortable and wants to burst out, but the sphincter does not agree. The result of the two parties' inability to reach a consensus is that the abdomen is churning and painful, and I can't sleep all night.

Gu Qing was extremely irritable. It was probably because of his bad habit of eating only meat, not vegetables, and rarely fruits, that his intestines finally issued a warning. He tried hard for most of the night but could not solve this shameful problem.

Just thinking about it makes me sad.

The time traveler is the undisputed protagonist. He can't even have a fever or cold under the aura of the protagonist. It's his turn to be constipated. What about the aura of the protagonist? Even if he gets sick, he should be like Lin Daiyu, who vomits blood when she coughs. It looks serious, at least

I feel pity for the pear blossoms and the rain. I am not as sick as myself in the Kikube area...

Hao Donglai and Shi Daxing walked quickly towards the wing in the early morning sunshine.

Han Jie was an old acquaintance with them, so naturally it was inconvenient to stop them and let them in.

This is because Gu Qing is not married and there are no female relatives in the house, otherwise it would be impossible to allow these men to enter and exit the backyard of the Hou Mansion at will.

The two shopkeepers walked through the door and saw Gu Qing lying on the bed. They walked lightly and approached cautiously.

Gu Qing turned over and opened his eyes when he heard the noise. Seeing them, he sighed: "Don't mess with me today. I'm not in a good mood. Get out..."

The two shopkeepers were stunned, and Hao Donglai said hurriedly: "Is Mr. Hou feeling ill? Do you want..."

Shi Daxing immediately interrupted him and stopped talking nonsense. He took a step forward and said softly: "Master Hou, I have found out clearly about the Zhang family. It was Zhang Zheng's son who offended someone. The thing is like this..."

Gu Qing frowned, enduring the pain in his abdomen, and said impatiently: "Shut up, I don't want to hear it."

"Master Hou..."

"Shut up! I won't listen, I won't listen, I won't listen, I won't listen..." Gu Qing covered his ears and kicked around.

Seeing that Mr. Hou was in a bad mood, the two shopkeepers did not dare to get into trouble again and hurriedly resigned.

"Wait a minute!" Gu Qing stopped them, hesitated for a while, and then lowered his voice and said: "Go and get me a doctor, one with good medical skills. If you dare to take someone's life lightly, I will drag you two to the grave."

The two shopkeepers hurried out.

Half an hour later, an old doctor in his fifties or sixties was dragged into the Hou Mansion by two shopkeepers.

Feeling the pulse, asking for a diagnosis, and pondering for a long time, the old doctor stroked his fair-minded white beard and said calmly: "Master Hou is just a minor illness, nothing serious, caused by improper diet. From now on, Master Hou should eat less."

Eat some meat, try to eat more grains, green vegetables, fruits and vegetables, drink more water, drink less alcohol, and don’t have sex recently..."

Gu Qing suddenly opened his eyes and stared at him with an evil look.

I always feel that the last sentence is mocking him. Not to mention the recent past, I have never had sexual intercourse in my life, okay? Am I proud?

The old doctor wrote two prescriptions with his pen and handed them to Hao Donglai who was standing aside. He stroked his beard and said: "The old man has prescribed two prescriptions for Mr. Hou. One is a medicine to promote diarrhea, and the other is a medicine to warm and tonic. The two medicines should be used together.

, it can be resolved in three days, and the warming and tonic medicine can be taken for five days at a time, which can strengthen the root and nourish the vital energy, nourish the deficiency and nourish the qi."

Butler Xu personally went to grab the medicine and came back, and boiled the medicine for Gu Qing himself. After Gu Qing took it, within half an hour he felt thunder rumbling in his stomach and he had an idea!

He turned around and entered the dressing room, flowing smoothly. After a long time, Gu Qing walked out with a satisfied look on his face, so happy that he wanted to hum a song.

The two shopkeepers had been waiting outside the door. Seeing Gu Qing come out refreshed, Hao Donglai said joyfully: "Congratulations, Lord Marquis, if you have a good time, you will be blessed later."

Gu Qing smiled and said: "The doctor you hired is good, especially the laxatives he prescribed. He is very good. After a while, you can go to him and prescribe some laxatives. The dosage may be larger and stronger. I will keep it with me for later use."

"

"The Marquis often... so what?" Hao Donglai advised cautiously: "This is a tiger and wolf medicine. Taking it for a long time will harm your body. Don't take too much, the Marquis..."

"I didn't say it was for my own use. Chivalrous people like us always need a few things to defend ourselves when we travel around the world."

Gu Qing stretched out and said, "What do you want to tell me this morning? Tell me while I'm in a good mood. I'm going to visit Qujiang Lake with Huaiyu later, so don't waste my time."

Hao Donglai said: "Master Hou, yesterday you asked me to ask about the Zhang family, and I found out."

"Well, tell me."

"The Zhang family has indeed offended someone, and they offended the powerful people in Chang'an City. The reason is that a distant relative of the Zhang family is responsible for the business in Chang'an City. The Zhang family mainly sells silk and satin, and has three shops in Dongshi. A few years ago, the business was

Very good, I have done a lot of business with several Hu merchants..."

"Until the beginning of this year, after the First World War between the Tang Dynasty and the Great Food Kingdom, the trade routes in the Western Regions were greatly affected. There were fewer and fewer Hu merchants coming to the Tang Dynasty, and the business in the East Market was not as good as before. The distant relative was in a hurry.
