Bian Lingcheng was quite afraid of Gu Qing.

What he was afraid of was Gu Qing's Holy Family Zhilong. He was too favored by the emperor. Bian Lingcheng did not dare to offend such a person. Moreover, looking at what Gu Qing did after coming to Anxi, he smashed shops and provoked the Anxi army.

Lying in the camp eating and waiting to die when nothing happened was completely the behavior of a playboy, no different from the dignitaries in Chang'an City, and Bian Lingcheng became increasingly afraid to offend him.

Therefore, when Gu Qing came to Anxi and smashed up shops and had conflicts with the Anxi garrison, Bian Lingcheng didn't dare to mention it in his memorial. His target was very clear, only Gao Xianzhi.

Regardless of personal grievances, the responsibilities of Bian Lingcheng and Gao Xianzhi determine their relationship. They are destined to participate in the relationship between impeachment and being impeached. One is opening up territory for the country, and the other is secretly stabbing in the back.

Bian Lingcheng's logic is very simple. He has made a meritorious deed by knocking Gao Xianzhi down.

If the participation fails and Gao Xianzhi cannot be caught, then it is the supervisor's dereliction of duty. The emperor far away in Chang'an has obviously been suspicious of Gao Xianzhi, but the emperor would rather send Gu Qing to contain him than give him a word as the supervisor.

Phrase instructions.

This shows what?

It shows that the emperor is also dissatisfied with Bian Lingcheng, because Bian Lingcheng has been incompetent over the years and has not been able to seize the real hammer to remove Gao Xianzhi, so he simply does not trust him.

If Bian Lingcheng didn't work hard to stab him in the back, maybe the emperor would kill him too.

Bian Lingcheng's logic was very rigorous. After careful consideration of the causes and consequences, the more he thought about it, the more he felt that his guess was extremely correct. He suddenly felt a strong sense of crisis and unknowingly broke out in a cold sweat on his back.

The current situation is that it is not important whether Gao Xianzhi falls or not. What is important is that on the day Gao Xianzhi falls, he, Bian Lingcheng, cannot be beaten by the emperor.

So, work hard! Forge ahead!

In order to overthrow Gao Xianzhi, Bian Lingcheng must find another way. If Gu Qing can be dragged into the water and the two of them join Gao Xianzhi together, then Gao Xianzhi's overthrow will be just around the corner. And according to Bian Lingcheng's guess, Gao Xianzhi's fall is in line with the wishes of the Chang'an court, otherwise why would the emperor

Sent Gu Qing to Anxi to contain Gao Xianzhi for no reason?

The more Bian Lingcheng thought about it, the more he felt it was right. The only thing he was dissatisfied with was that the person sent by the emperor was actually a playboy who was just waiting to die. He ignored the emperor's wishes and did not do serious things all day long.

It's fine if Gu Qing is not serious, but if it affects Bian Lingcheng's personal future, that's not okay.

Gu Qing must be dragged into the water so that he and Bian Lingcheng stand on the same front and work together to bring down Gao Xianzhi. In this way, Bian Lingcheng's future will be bright.

It is not difficult to seduce a man, there are only three factors: power, money and sex.

In terms of power... this won't work. Gu Qing's official position is greater than Bian Lingcheng's, so he can't allow it.

Talking about money... this is not good either. Bian Lingcheng is a eunuch, and eunuchs are the most greedy for money. He is not allowed in and out, especially since he is far away in a border town. He has no money at all on weekdays. Gu Qing is an official from Chang'an, and he has eaten a lot.

I have seen that Bian Lingcheng's little wealth is not enough for him.

Therefore, the only thing I can give is beauty.

Bian Lingcheng sat under the candlestick and thought for a long time, then suddenly clapped his hands.

A servant appeared outside the door.

Bian Lingcheng said calmly: "Go to Fuzhi Inn in the west of the city and ask Miss Du to come see me."

Half an hour later, a woman with a graceful figure and a stunning face appeared in Bian Lingcheng's study.

"Du Sisi pays homage to the border supervisors." The woman came to the border and ordered her to wear her husband's skirt as a courtesy.

Bian Lingcheng put down his pen, stepped forward to meet her in person, and said with a smile: "Miss Sisi, it's been a long time."

Du Sisi was twenty-nine years old, with excellent appearance and frail figure, but she had a charming charm. Her beautiful eyes were like autumn water, and she inadvertently revealed a look that was both eager to talk and shy, which especially fascinated men.

Fortunately, Bian Lingcheng was a eunuch and lacked the tools to commit crimes, otherwise he would have swallowed her up many years ago.

Du Sisi seems to have a cheerful personality, and she knows how to deal with people very well. The inn she manages is the busiest in Qiuci Town.

"Hey, the border guard is talking to someone else again. You haven't been to my Fuzhi Inn for a drink in a few months. I miss you so much... We are in such a small and broken city, and I don't even say to take care of you.

Let’s talk about other people’s business.” Du Sisi covered her mouth and giggled.

Bian Lingcheng frowned: "Miss Du, I came to you today for some serious business, please speak nicely."

Du Sisi stopped laughing, found a low table in the study, sat down on the low table without any fuss, then crossed her legs, glanced at him charmingly, and said with a smile: "Okay, Border Supervisor Army

Just tell me what you are told and I will try my best to do it."

Frowning at Du Sisi's unbecoming behavior, Bian Lingcheng said calmly: "A few days ago, a deputy envoy of Jiedu came to Qiuci Town, named Gu Qing. Have you heard of it?"

Du Sisi chuckled and said: "This deputy envoy of Jiedu is very popular. When he came to Qiuci, he smashed a restaurant and scared the shopkeepers of several inns and restaurants in the town. A few days ago, I even talked to those shopkeepers.

Communicate with each other, secretly remember the appearance of the deputy envoy, and never provoke him."

Bian Lingcheng said directly and neatly: "If you approach him, it's best to charm him and make him obey you from now on. Gu Qing is a young man in his twenties. The young man is lustful and admires Shao Ai.

Beauty has always been irresistible. You are the most beautiful woman in our Qiuci Town. It must not be difficult to charm him."

Du Sisi was stunned for a moment, then she covered her mouth and giggled: "A beauty trap? Did the Border Patrol Army find the wrong person? I only know how to take care of an inn, not how to seduce men."

Bian Lingcheng sneered: "Your inn has been open for three years, why is the business so prosperous? It's not all because of your beauty. Miss Du, please stop being modest in front of me."

These words were a bit hurtful. Du Sisi's smile gradually turned cold, and there was a chill in her autumn-like eyes.

"Border Inspector, let me say it again, you have found the wrong person."

Bian Lingcheng's expression became more and more serious: "Du Sisi, or should I call you 'Huangfu Sisi', don't forget your identity. Do you really think that you are just a shopkeeper who runs an inn? My father, Huangfu Weiming, has an official title of Long"

You Jiedushi, the first month of the fifth year of Tianbao, was involved in the Chang'an Wei Jian case and was sentenced to death..."

"Originally, the Yushitai wanted to kill your father's entire family. It was your father's followers who learned of the incident and rushed to Longyou overnight to send you and several relatives out of the Longyou Jiedu Envoy's Mansion. You and several relatives did not dare to

After entering Yumen Pass, I had no choice but to escape to Qiuci Town..."

"That year, you were only in your teens, huh. The older you get, the more beautiful you are, and the more correct your ideas are. I can't control you anymore, can I?"

Huangfu Sisi trembled all over, clutching the corners of his clothes tightly and biting his lower lip to keep from making a sound.

"You and your family are still on the list of people wanted by the government. You have lived anonymously in Qiuci Town and have lived peacefully since then. Who has helped you suppress the villains who have tried to set your sights on you over the years? Who is there?

To keep you safe secretly?"

Huangfu Sisi gritted her teeth and said, "That was my father's old subordinate who gave you the money..."

Bian Lingcheng sneered: "Do I have to protect you for the rest of my life after paying you money? Your father's old subordinates died and were implicated. I have protected you all these years and have done my best to protect you. Now I just want you to help me with a little

If you don’t agree to a small favor, what’s the point of me protecting you?”

Huangfu Sisi said coldly: "Border Supervisor, don't bully others too much. Over the years, my family and I have opened an inn, and I have paid you a lot of respect. Don't even think about asking me to do such shameless things! In the worst case, my family and I will leave the turtle."

Zizhen, let’s live somewhere else.”

Bian Lingcheng's smile became softer and softer: "You can try. There is a vast desert outside Kucha Town. I am still the supervisor of the Anxi Protectorate. If you dare to leave Kucha Town, you and your relatives will die."

"You are all prisoners of the imperial court. The world is so big, where can you go?"

…………

Kucha Town, market.

The prosperity of the market made Gu Qing particularly excited. It must be said that Qiuci Town's unique geographical location is very advantageous. With such a good location and unique conditions, it would be a pity not to develop business.

Although the market in Kucha Town is already very lively now, Gu Qing feels that it is far from enough.

A mature commercial market should not just be about simple buying and selling. There should be more things derived from the buying and selling, and it should even be able to affect the political and military situation in the entire Western Region.

The purpose of its existence is not only to trade goods, but to bind the interests of the Tang Dynasty and the countries in the Western Regions, and tie them together like a bond. With deep interests involved, all hostile countries will start to deal with each other from now on.

Qiuci did not dare to use weapons rashly, because using weapons would mean harming his own interests at the same time.

This is what Gu Qing has to do.

One of the tasks assigned to him by Li Longji was to open up trade routes in the Western Regions.

In fact, there is no need to use weapons to get through, wouldn't it be more fun to spend money? The countries and caravans in the Western Regions have been smashed, and they have huge profits. If there is unrest on the trade road, they will hire troops driven by profits.

Why use the Anxi Army to clean up?

Walking casually in the market, Gu Qing looked around and asked lightly: "Brother Han, has the letter from Shiqiao Village in Shuzhou been sent out?"

Han Jie said: "It was delivered yesterday. It will be delivered in about a month."

Gu Qing sighed: "I forgot to tell you to speed up. I just hope that Feng Aweng will quickly transport more porcelain. I am worried about seeing the money being made by those barbarians..."

Han Jie said with a smile: "Master Hou, don't be anxious. After all, we have to stay here for three to five years. We are not in a hurry to make money. Maybe Your Majesty wants Master Hou to stay in Anxi forever. Let's stop saying that we will stay here for ten years."

Twenty years."

Gu Qing smiled: "Three to five years? Ten to twenty years? Haha, Sao Nian, you are too naive. I can guarantee that within two years, something big will happen to the Tang Dynasty."

Han Jie was shocked: "What will happen?"

Gu Qing stopped talking. The topic was very sensitive and he couldn't talk nonsense. If he really told the truth, it would be like having his mouth opened by a Taoist priest. That would be too fantasy.

Squinting at the distance of the market, Gu Qing suddenly pointed to the low city wall to the south and said, "Is that side facing the Tarim River?"

"yes."
