Looking at the dark night sky outside, Bian Lingcheng didn't see anything "unlimited" at all.

But Lord Gu said so firmly that Bian Lingcheng took a long time to understand and finally found the reason.

Perhaps all poets have this kind of virtue, especially drunk poets.

After a conversation, Bian Lingcheng finally saw the situation clearly. Like Gao Xianzhi's choice, Gu Qing and the 10,000 troops under his command had better not interfere indiscriminately.

Judging from Gu Qing's behavior and words today, this Marquis may not be someone to be trifled with. He led people to rob Wannian County Prison in Chang'an. After the robbery, he was promoted to an official position and later killed the governor.

After killing the governor, he spent a month in prison. After he was released, he was promoted to deputy envoy of Jiedu.

Every time he got into trouble, he could be promoted to an official position. Such a miraculous promotion ability was purely based on His Majesty's favor and trust. Bian Lingcheng was too brave to be a stepping stone for his promotion.

Now that he had stopped worrying about it, Bian Lingcheng suddenly changed his mind.

You can't control it, but you can form an alliance.

"Master Marquis, I fell in love with you at first sight. Some words may be a bit abrupt, but we are all people who owe the emperor's favor. I have to say these things..."

Gu Qing smiled and said: "But it doesn't matter."

Bian Lingcheng said softly: "Master Marquis, your Majesty sent you to Anxi as deputy envoy to Jiedu. In addition to testing your qualifications, your Majesty must have also assigned other tasks, right? For example... to contain Gao Xianzhi?"

Gu Qing raised his eyebrows: "How did you know?"

Bian Lingcheng said with a smile: "After reading the imperial edict today, Gao Xianzhi's face turned livid. To be honest with the Marquis, Gao Xianzhi originally learned that the imperial court would send 10,000 troops into the four towns of Anxi. He even had these 10,000 troops

He had already thought about how to arrange the horses, but today he discovered that the Marquis's ten thousand soldiers and horses were untouchable. You can imagine how disappointed he was... Lord Marquis, His Majesty sent you to Anxi because he has an interest in Gao Xianzhi.

In order to take precautions, he sent his most trusted people to Anxi to contain Gao Xianzhi, right?"

Gu Qing said calmly: "Border Supervisor, I cannot admit these words..."

Bian Lingcheng said happily: "Yes, yes, I know the rules. I am just making random guesses. Of course, the Marquis is just here to practice and has no other mission."

Gu Qing said slowly: "I don't understand what it means to contain something. To tell you the truth, as long as I hold these ten thousand soldiers and horses firmly in my hands, the purpose of containment has been achieved. Therefore, I can do anything."

Gao Jieshuai can feel the pressure without doing anything."

Bian Lingcheng tentatively said: "If I report to Chang'an about the four towns in Anxi, can the Marquis sign with me? I guess your Majesty's intention. It seems that you want to replace Gao Xianzhi, and you may even ask the Marquis to replace him.

If the Marquis can become the master of the four towns in Anxi, I am willing to help you wholeheartedly and will never have any second thoughts."

Gu Qing sneered in his heart, but his expression showed disdain: "Border Supervisor, how much did you drink, have you lost your head? Anxi, a barbaric land, has nothing to offer. Even if your Majesty allows me to take over Anxi, I will not be willing to do so.

, I just said that I am just here to gain qualifications. I will be transferred back to Chang'an in a year and a half and let me take charge of Anxi. Do you want me to live in the bitter cold outside the Great Wall and endure the northwest wind for the rest of my life? "

Bian Lingcheng said with a bitter face: "I don't dare, but I think about it. Your Majesty's purpose of sending the Marquis to Anxi should not be that simple, right?"

Gu Qing said seriously: "Let me put it more clearly. I'm here to mess around. Don't bother me with Anxi's nonsense. Whether it's the external war or the nonsense between you and Gao Xianzhi, I have no interest in participating.

, Border Supervision Army, let me stay here for a year and a half with peace of mind, and treat you and me well when I return to Chang'an, do you understand what I mean?"

Listening to the determination in Gu Qing's words, Bian Lingcheng gradually understood that this Marquis was really here to mess around.

So Bian Lingcheng couldn't help but sigh in disappointment. He originally thought that he had come to help his ally, but instead, a dandy-like Marquis came. His only business was eating and drinking, and he didn't get involved in anything. But he offended this man again.

I can't afford it...

The host and guest have a good time, of course, this is what Gu Qing thinks unilaterally.

Bian Lingcheng said goodbye and left the camp in despair. Gu Qing sent him out of the commander's tent and watched with a smile as his back disappeared through the camp gate.

Han Jie stepped forward gently and said hesitantly: "Master Hou, the purpose of this person named Bian is not pure. Why did Master Hou become friends with him?"

Gu Qing said with a smile: "Compared to those upright good people, it is actually easier to make friends with bad people. The conditions for good people to make friends are too harsh. People like me will probably be looked down upon in the eyes of good people."

Han Jie said in confusion: "Why does the Marquis have to make these so-called friends when he has a rich body?"

"When we come to Anxi, we can't be alone. We always need friends. Coming to Anxi doesn't mean we have a foothold in Anxi. We need to do a lot of things to make all the generals and officials in the four towns of Anxi know us and respect us.

We, if one day my name, Gu Qing, makes people's heads tingle, then we will truly have a foothold in Anxi."

Han Jie asked doubtfully: "Master Marquis, I have never understood what we are going to do in Anxi. Is it to fight the Western Regions and Tubo? Or to contain Gao Xianzhi?"

Gu Qing pondered endlessly. Han Jie's question must also be the question of the hundreds of guards around him. It's fine if others don't understand, but the people he trusts most cannot let them follow him in confusion. He must always let them know what he is doing.

So Gu Qing decided to reveal some of his thoughts appropriately so that Han Jie and the others could follow him with peace of mind.

"Brother Han, what do you think of Gao Xianzhi?" Gu Qing suddenly changed the subject and asked.

Han Jie hesitated for a moment and said: "He is considered a famous general in the world. His reputation is spread throughout Chang'an City. He fought with Xiao Bolu for the stone castle, destroyed the Stone Kingdom, and destroyed the Tuqi Shi. Now the Tang Dynasty has suffered more and more defeats in foreign campaigns.

, but Gao Xianzhi is quite capable and has gained enough confidence for the Tang Dynasty. However, the battle of Talos was a bit miserable..."

Gu Qing smiled: "Your understanding of Gao Xianzhi is relatively shallow. I don't blame you. After all, you are not familiar with him. But let me tell you, Gao Xianzhi has made many mistakes in running Anxi over the years. These mistakes are not only military, but also

Including many aspects... Do you know the purpose of His Majesty sending me to Anxi?"

Han Jie whispered: "Contain Gao Xianzhi."

"Yes, containment means that Your Majesty is already suspicious of him. A monarch's suspicion of his ministers is a foreshadowing of disaster. His Majesty's true intention is that he does not want Gao Xianzhi to continue to visit Anxi, so he transfers him back to Chang'an and uses senior officials to

I am the person who will replace Gao Xianzhi, and I will take his place in Anxi in the near future."

Han Jie opened his eyes in surprise: "Master Hou will become the master of the four towns in Anxi?"

"Your Majesty may have planned this, but it also depends on whether I can live up to the expectations. If I cannot quickly establish prestige in Anxi in a short period of time and quickly become a veritable deputy envoy of Anxi Jiedu, then Your Majesty will also be disappointed in me, Gao Xianzhi I will definitely be transferred back to Chang'an. If I cannot control Anxi, I will also be transferred back to Chang'an. Your Majesty will replace Anxi with a more capable commander."

Han Jie said excitedly: "What do you mean by the Marquis? Do you want to become the master of the four towns in Anxi?"

Gu Qing looked at him strangely: "Why are you so excited? Do you think this is a good job? There is nothing you want in this barbaric land like Anxi. To put it crudely, you and your brothers don't even have the chance to play with women. place……"

Han Jie said excitedly: "Playing with women has a place, no... What the general means is that the Marquis cannot live up to His Majesty's expectations and must pass through Anxi. If the Marquis is the lord of Anxi, he will be one of the pillars of the west of the Tang Dynasty." Minister, not only does he hold military power, but he also has a name that will go down in history. The generals and brothers also have a lot of opportunities to make contributions."

Gu Qing asked curiously: "There is actually a place to play with women in this poor place? Is it a brothel?"

Han Jie was stunned, are we talking about the same thing?

"Well, General Mo, I heard that there is a brothel opened by Hu merchants in Qiuci Town, which is specially used for the entertainment of passing caravans. As you know, Lord Marquis, the caravans are extremely rich, and the brothels are said to be full of Hu girls. He has yellow eyes and hair and looks like a ghost, so Hu Shang likes that tone. Lord Marquis, do you... also have that interest? The general can arrange it for Lord Marquis."

Gu Qing snorted and said: "Don't talk nonsense. I have always kept myself as safe as jade. Zhang Huaiyu is still in Chang'an waiting for me to go back and marry her."

After a pause, Gu Qing said against his will: "Besides, I don't like Hu Nu's tone. It's too ugly, um... too ugly."

The exquisite mixed-race face of Princess Wanchun came to mind for no apparent reason.

In fact...it's not that ugly. The generation gap of thousands of years is not only about values, but also about aesthetics that cannot be agreed with each other.

Han Jie smiled and said in a low voice: "If the Marquis doesn't like Hu girls, I will eventually find out that there are prostitutes in the garrison camp in Qiuci Town, including women from the Tang Dynasty. Although they look... haha, But she is also a real woman of the Tang Dynasty, and she will not be cheated. If the Marquis has the intention to support the prince..."

Gu Qing was surprised and said: "Camping prostitutes? There are actually camp prostitutes in the Anxi garrison?"

Han Jie said strangely: "It's normal to have camp prostitutes. Our Tang Dynasty king's army conquered many countries in the south and north, and those barbarian women who were destroyed randomly captured a few of the barbarian women to be camp prostitutes. This custom has always been in the Tang Dynasty. The above I have never blamed him. Master Wang has so many energetic brothers, Pao Ze, who always, uh, have to vent. If he doesn’t vent for a long time, something may happen..."

"What happened to the Tang Dynasty woman in the camp prostitute?"

"Most of the women in the Tang Dynasty were the wives of convicts and were assigned to the garrison as camp prostitutes. The more beautiful ones were sold to brothels, while the less beautiful ones could only stay in the camps..."

Gu Qing pursed his lips.

He was a little disgusted with this method, but he would not break the rules like the Holy Mother, so he could only pretend that he didn't hear it.

"Have you been there to play?" Gu Qing suddenly asked.

Han Jie chuckled: "I've heard of it, but I haven't seen it yet. When the Marquis settles down, I plan to take a few of my bodyguard brothers to see it when the general changes his shift..."

Gu Qing said with disdain: "You people really have no concept of chastity at all."

"Master Marquis, the general is a man and not a chaste and martyr woman. What kind of chastity do you need? Does the Marquis have chastity?"

Gu Qing suddenly felt weak.
