People who have the aura of the protagonist are magical, like the decent characters in the drama, they can't die no matter what.

If people have past and present lives, Gu Qing feels that Wang Gui must have been the overlord of Western Chu's horse in his previous life. The one he rode during the day, the "Zui" who "doesn't die when times are bad", was praised by heaven for his loyalty after his death.

In this life, he is reincarnated as a human being and is given immortality.

Gu Qing knelt down and held Wang Gui's hand, saying softly: "Next time, don't be so desperate. It's not cost-effective to trade your life for a mere enemy. The deal will be a big loss. You are all my personal guards, and your lives are precious."

"

Wang Gui still couldn't speak, but tears filled his eyes and he snorted.

Gu Qing smiled again and said: "But I still admire you very much, Wang Gui. You are a man, a man who stands upright. It is my honor to be my brother with you."

Wang Gui couldn't help but burst into tears.

"Take good care of yourself. You will still have to work hard for me after you recover. By the way, you have done a great job this time and defeated a very difficult and powerful enemy for me. There is nothing to reward you in this desolate border town, so let's just be tacky.

I'll reward you with a hundred dollars. I'll have someone send it to you later. You can save some flowers and send them to your family. It's better for the whole family to live a comfortable life for a few years than to spend them here eating, drinking, whoring, and gambling."

Wang Gui sighed with tears in his eyes and smiled gratefully at Gu Qing.

Seeing Gu Qing about to leave, Wang Gui suddenly said weakly: "Master Hou..."

Gu Qing turned around and looked at him.

Wang Gui tried his best to squeeze out a few words from his throat: "Master Hou, I'm sorry... I'm sorry."

Gu Qing smiled and said: "Take good care of yourself and don't think wildly."

After saying that, Gu Qing walked out of the barracks.

Han Jie stood beside Wang Gui's bed and sighed: "The Marquis is right, don't think wildly. He has never blamed you."

Wang Gui was stunned: "Master Hou... knows?"

"He was in the courtyard that night at the Marquis' Mansion. He had known about it for a long time, but he never took it to heart, let alone blamed you. Lord Marquis... is very considerate of your inability to control yourself."

Wang Gui couldn't control his tears again, and choked with sobs: "Wang Gui has nothing to repay, he can only die to repay the kindness of the Marquis."

…………

The enemy whom Wang Gui risked his life for was imprisoned in the garrison barracks and handed over to Chang Zhong for interrogation.

It has to be said that this enemy is very skilled, especially in archery. Compared with the marksman battalion formed by Gu Qingxin, his archery skills are also ranked among the top three.

Last night, Wang Gui had no choice but to set fire to the house, forced the marksman out, and fought with him at close range. During the fight, Wang Gui pierced his abdomen with an arrow. His injuries were not light. He was killed by the military doctor.

After trying his best to treat him, he finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Gu Qing handed over the interrogation matter to Chang Zhong. Chang Zhong found a few interrogation talents from the army. In the army of more than 10,000 people, there are always some messy talents. There are also talents who are better than interrogators. He is a brigade commander.

Specialized in leading scouts to investigate the enemy's situation and search for their traces.

When the army departs, the scouts lead the way and often encounter and fight with the enemy's scouts. In order to obtain useful information, enemy scouts are often tortured and interrogated after being captured. This is how the brigade commander's interrogation skills were accumulated.

In the afternoon, the brigade commander came to report that the enemy had finally made a move. The brigade commander had obtained a relatively complete confession. He wrote the enemy's confession word for word on paper, stamped it and presented it to Gu Qing.

Gu Qing was also very curious about the identity of this enemy. After reading the confession, he couldn't help being surprised. Then he looked thoughtful. After thinking about it carefully, he felt that it was not surprising.

This marksman has nothing to do with Bian Lingcheng, or even with all the soldiers and officials of the Anxi Army.

He was actually bribed by An Lushan with a lot of money.

This man was originally a commander in the Anxi Army, and his archery skills were quite extraordinary. Not long after Gu Qing took office as the deputy envoy of Anxi Jiedu, a man disguised as a businessman came from Pinglu.

I found this chief, deliberately made friends with him, drank several times, and bribed him with a lot of money, and I easily bribed this chief.

The order the commander received was very simple: find a way to confuse the Anxi army, cause discord among the generals, cause internal changes, and undermine all of Gu Qing's military and political decisions in Anxi. The ultimate goal is to make the emperor dissatisfied with Gu Qing's performance in Anxi and then turn against him.

Disappointment, neglect.

That's why they shot arrows at Gao Xianzhi's tent when the army was encamped, in order to provoke discord among the generals and trigger internal fighting among the generals of the Anxi army. There was also the act of shooting an innocent businessman last night, in order to destroy the rise that Gu Qing had just encouraged.

Kucha Bazaar plan.

Looking at the confession in his hand, Gu Qing smiled.

Everything can be explained and makes sense.

Thinking more deeply about this matter, An Lushan's move was not entirely to murder Gu Qing, but also to undermine the Anxi Army internally, pave the way for future rebellions, and weaken the court's power to suppress rebellions in advance.

As we all know, the Anxi Army is the most elite frontier army in the Tang Dynasty. If Anlu Mountain rebels in the future, the Anxi Army will definitely be dispatched back to Guanzhong to directly fight the rebels. The Anlu Mountain Temple will take the lead and use conspiracy methods.

To weaken the destined opponent, this move was quite clever.

"Interesting, he reached out to my territory without me noticing..." Gu Qing sneered.

Then Gu Qing started to feel worried.

There should be more than one inner ghost, and we can only wait for him to show up slowly. Gu Qing wants to take revenge, but there are too few talents under his command. In the past few months since he came to Anxi, Gu Qing has been observing silently, paying attention to both soldiers and soldiers. He hopes that

Several talents could be found among them. However, there were many brave men in the army and few clever ones. The only one, Wang Gui, was seriously injured.

When it comes to taking revenge on An Lushan, bravery is of no use. What is needed is a ruthless character who is good at stabbing people in secret. Unfortunately, no such talent has been found so far, unless Gu Qing comes in person.

This matter could only be put aside for the time being. As for the bribed chief, Gu Qing hesitated for a while and decided to kill him.

It's a pity that he has extraordinary archery skills, but Gu Qing doesn't like to use people who can be easily bribed. Such people are often untimely bombs that may betray him at a critical moment and blow him up.

After weighing the pros and cons, it is ultimately more appropriate to kill him.

…………

The information that should be obtained has been obtained. It must be said that Wang Gui has indeed made a great contribution. The information obtained is very important. It reminds Gu Qing that even if he is in Anxi and thousands of miles away from Fan Yang, hatred is still hatred.

The enemy An Lushan is hiding in the dark and planning to kill himself all the time, so we must not let down our guard.

After the matter came to an end, Gu Qing immediately remembered some happy things.

There was something that made him very happy last night. He got a lot of money from the auction of the shops. Not all the shops that were auctioned were just some of them. The total proceeds from the auction last night were 150,000 yuan, which can be said to be a bumper harvest.

It is said that after Li Sima calculated the figures later, he was so shocked that he didn't say anything for a long time. He thought he had made a mistake and calculated it over and over again before he was sure.

This time, Gu Qing only put up dozens of shops for auction, and they were already selling so hotly. In the next one or two years, the Anxi Army should not have to worry about military expenses.

"I finally became a rich man again, and I no longer have to be humble and submissive." Gu Qing was so moved that he wanted to cry.

Han Jie endured it for a long time, and finally couldn't help but said: "Master Hou, I'll be honest with you, when you have no money, I don't see you looking at me with a low eyebrow, even if you eat and drink for free, your tone is tough, and it's not lost.

The face of our Anxi Army."

Gu Qing was startled, then carefully considered Han Jie's words.

It sounds like a good thing, but I always feel that something is wrong. From the Chinese context, it is a rhetorical technique that is clearly praising but actually criticizing.

"Satire on me?" Gu Qing raised his eyebrows.

Han Jie's eyelids twitched and he hurriedly bowed: "The general has no such intention."

Gu Qing bared his teeth and smiled: "You are testing like crazy on the edge of running a circle. But I am in a good mood today, so I will spare you the chance to run a circle once. If you do it again next time, you don't have to run a circle. Your heart is too dark, so I will hang you in the circle."

Bathe in the desert sunshine on the flagpole and let your soul be baptized."

Looking at the sky outside the handsome tent, it was already evening. Gu Qing suddenly stood up and said: "Let's go to the city for a walk. Send someone to tell Li Sima to pay a sum of money to the blacksmith shop outside the city and let them start work immediately.

Mo Dao, give me another sum of money..."

"What is the name of the money that the Marquis wants?"

"Tell Li Sima directly that I use it for eating, drinking and having fun. He knows what the name is."

He led more than a dozen personal guards into Kucha City. For some reason, Gu Qing felt that his walking posture was different from before. He couldn't tell what was different. In short, he was much lighter when he lifted his feet and stepped forward, with a radius of about one foot.

Within the scope, there is an invisible and powerful aura that fills the air, lingering around like a circular light wave shield, and sparkling, buling buling...

Walking on the streets of Qiuci City, Gu Qing was full of doubts and couldn't help but ask: "Han Jie, have you noticed any difference in me today?"

Han Jie looked him up and down and said: "Master Marquis, I have indeed noticed that you are a little different from before. When you had no money, you walked with an inverted figure, but today you walk with an external figure..."

"Oh?" Gu Qing lowered his head and looked at his feet in surprise: "Is there such a big difference between having money and not having money?"

"Yes, very obvious."

"Also, I always feel that there is an invisible aura around me, which is very strong... I seem to be about to break through." Gu Qing looked at the sky with his hands behind his hands, his eyes full of unspeakable secrets.

Han Jie sighed: "Master Marquis, don't say any more. I will understand that this aura is called 'the aura of wealth' and is exclusive to rich people."

Gu Qing's expression didn't change. As long as he wasn't embarrassed, there would be no such thing as embarrassment.

"Oh, it turns out to be the aura of wealth. No wonder I feel light, comfortable and sparkling all over my body. This aura of wealth is very powerful... Let's go to Fuzhi Inn. Today I will order two portions of each dish, one for each meal.
