When Gu Qing first came to this world and was ignorant, the only person who had the closest contact with him was Song Gensheng.

Before that, Gu Qing was just an unknown boy in the village, without a father or mother, alone, with a cowardly temperament that could be bullied, and even his appearance looked unlucky. He had not made friends in more than ten years, and the only one he could play with was him.

Only Song Gensheng.

Human relationships are weak and the world is cold and cold. This has been the case since ancient times.

Later, Gu Qing traveled through time and opened a porcelain kiln. Thanks to his kindness, the villagers gradually got rid of poverty. Gu Qing unknowingly gained prestige in the village, and what followed was the proactive overtures and even flattery of the villagers.

.

At first, Gu Qing just looked at the changes in the villagers' attitude towards him indifferently. Later, when Zhang Huaiyu came, Gu Qing's cold heart gradually softened.

Looking at the changes in the villagers' attitudes from another perspective, we can't actually blame them.

Who would be kind to a weak, humble, and insignificant child for no reason?

If a person wants to gain the kindness and respect of others, he must first shine, and only then can his light attract others to come closer to you.

Gu Qing naturally knew Duan Wuji and Feng Yu. After he opened the school, all the teenagers and children in the village had to go to school. This was Gu Qing's mandatory order. Only these two people refused to go at first.

, they believed that studying was useless, and it would be better to put more effort into farming than studying.

Later, Gu Qing picked up a cane, kicked open their door, and drove them from home to school waving the cane like a shepherd dog.

One's background cannot be changed. Studying is the only chance to change one's destiny. Gu Qing, who has lived two lifetimes, understands this very well.

As luck would have it, people who don't like reading have a talent for reading.

The last time Zhang Huaiyu came to Chang'an, when talking about the schoolwork of the children in the village, Zhang Huaiyu specifically mentioned Duan Wuji and Feng Yu, thinking that they were outstanding among the children studying in the village.

Unexpectedly, two outstanding figures appeared in front of his handsome tent outside Kucha City today.

Unexpectedly, he looked at the two people for a long time, and after confirming that they were Duan Wuji and Feng Yu whom he knew, Gu Qing stepped forward to hold their arms, and said with a smile: "No need to be polite, and don't call me 'Master Hou', just press

The original way to call me was to call me Brother Gu."

Feng Yu said with a smile: "Yes, I haven't seen Brother Gu for a long time. Today I found that Brother Gu is a bit more handsome. He and Sister Huaiyu are a match made in heaven."

Gu Qing was immediately elated, well, finally here comes someone who can chat, he must be cultivated.

Duan Wuji, who was next to him, said in a deep voice: "Etiquette cannot be discarded. It is not easy for the Marquis to sit in his current position. We cannot mess up the etiquette and lose the Marquis's face. Let outsiders laugh at the Marquis's fellow countrymen who do not understand the rules."

A vulgar village man."

The smiling faces of Gu Qing and Feng Yu suddenly froze, and they quickly exchanged glances.

The meaning in Gu Qing's eyes is that this guy has been brainwashed by Song Gensheng?

The answer in Feng Yu's eyes was, no, this guy is born with such dull virtues.

"It's cold outside, come into the handsome tent and talk." Gu Qing greeted the two of them in and said with a smile: "You are in luck, I am roasting the leg of lamb, and you came just as the leg of lamb is cooked. It seems to be God's will."

Feng Yu said with a smile: "I smelled a fragrance from afar, which really appealed to my greed. Brother Gu's craftsmanship was already famous in the village. Now just by smelling the fragrance, I can tell that Brother Gu's craftsmanship has become even better."

Duan Wuji bowed his head respectfully and said, "Thank you so much, Lord Marquis."

Gu Qing pointed at him and sighed: "You... better not say anything."

There was a faint impulse in my heart, and I wanted to bury Duan Wuji just like the short video clip in my previous life. While digging in the soil, I sighed sadly, "It's gone, it's gone."

The three of them sat around the charcoal fire. Gu Qing used a dagger to cut off the mutton leg piece by piece and handed it to the two of them.

Feng Yu didn't feel raw at all. He took the meat and ate it. It was so hot that he inhaled and praised it endlessly.

Duan Wuji was quite cautious, holding the meat in his hands and blowing on it in small bites. When it was almost cool, he tore off a small piece and stuffed it into his mouth.

Gu Qing observed the performance of the two people calmly. He could roughly judge a person's character from the details of his words and deeds. This was a skill he had already practiced in his previous life.

Although they had just met for less than an hour, Gu Qing could already roughly tell that their personalities were completely different.

Duan Wuji is steady but too conservative and rigid, like an old scholar who has lived for most of his life and has been buried up to his neck in dirt.

Feng Yu has a lively and out-of-the-box personality, a lack of composure, and a high emotional intelligence. This type of person always has a broad network of friends and has friends all over the world.

The three of them ate meat and drank the little liquor Gu Qing had left, their faces glowing with food and drink.

Chewing the tender mutton in his mouth, Gu Qing said vaguely: "Why did you come to Anxi?"

Duan Wuji put down his wine glass and said respectfully: "We begged Sister Huaiyu, and Sister Huaiyu promised to let us come to Anxi, join the Marquis's account, and serve the Marquis."

Gu Qing said in confusion: "What about the scientific examination? Don't you want to take the scientific examination?"

Feng Yu said with a smile: "After studying for a few years, I feel it's boring. Come out and see the world. If you follow Brother Gu, you can see more of the world. Brother Gu won't drive us back, right? To be honest, when I came out, I had already followed

Folks, let go of your grandiose words. I say that if I go to Chang'an, I will achieve great success, otherwise I will never return home."

Gu Qing laughed: "I really wanted to drive you back just now, but you blocked your words. It seems a bit embarrassing for me to drive you away..."

Feng Yu chuckled and said, "Then don't drive us away. I can do anything. I can serve as a personal guard under Brother Gu's account, or I can just be a soldier or something."

Gu Qing said with a smile: "Being a soldier means going to the battlefield. Are you not afraid of death?"

Feng Yu smiled and said: "Of course I am afraid of death, so if I become a soldier, I will pray to God and Buddha every day to avoid war."

Gu Qing laughed: "You are very honest. As long as you tell the truth, no matter how timid you are, I will be happy to hear it."

Turning to look at Duan Wuji, Gu Qingxiao asked, "What about you? Are you also willing to be a soldier?"

Duan Wuji pondered for a moment and said: "The student has studied, but in his heart he is still not willing to be a soldier. I originally thought that I could serve as a counselor for the Marquis, but then I thought about it. I only studied for a few years.

My knowledge is not advanced, and I am not familiar with the art of war. How can I be a counselor? So, Lord Marquis, you can arrange whatever you want. Just like Feng Yu, you can also be a soldier. One day, the student will have a little knowledge of military matters.

Once I understand, I will prove my ability to the Marquis, and then I will no longer want to be a soldier, I will be a counselor."

Gu Qing nodded and praised: "Not bad, a very practical idea. You are much better than that guy Song Gensheng, haha."

Feng Yu said with a smile: "Brother Song is now a fifth-rank official of the governor's office in Shuzhou. I heard he is very prestigious."

A trace of longing appeared in Gu Qing's eyes, and he sighed: "I haven't seen him for about two years, and I don't know how much he has changed..."

After calming down, Gu Qing looked at the two of them and said slowly: "Since you have come thousands of miles to join me, it would be unfair to let you serve as soldiers, but if you become an official, I will not be able to convince the public, so you will be my relatives for the time being."

Wei, follow me day and night."

"I treat everyone equally and impartially. If you have talent, just show it, no matter whether it is civil or military, I will not bury your talent and arrange you in the right position. I will say ugly things in front of you. If I think you

If you don’t have the ability, how about I ask you to go back to Shiqiao Village, study for a few more years, take the scientific examination and become an official honestly, and become a conscientious scholar?"

Duan Wuji and Feng Yu stood up at the same time, with sparks of fighting spirit flashing in their eyes, they saluted and said in unison: "Yes."

The young man came down the mountain with his sword in hand. The sword was not yet unsheathed, but it had already seen its edge.

…………

Chang'an City, Xingqing Palace.

A eunuch held a memorial in both hands and walked hurriedly to the calyx tower.

When walking by the dragon pond, he met Princess Wanchun's Luan Jia. The eunuch hurriedly stepped aside and bowed his head in obedience.

Princess Wanchun was wearing a black blouse today, with her cloud-like hair tied into a man's bun. She was waving a riding crop in her hand, slapping the dead grass and flower stems on the roadside out of boredom.

She had just returned to the palace from the royal racecourse and played a game of polo with the palace guards.

The Queen of Princesses ended up in person, and the soldiers of the Habayashi Guards naturally did not dare to fight her. They were half-humiliating and half-giving, mixed with a few idiots who were defeated by their exaggerated acting skills. The polo match ended with the princess's victory.

But Princess Wanchun felt very disappointed.

She was almost twenty years old and was no longer a child. Whether Habayashi Wei was trying his best, she could tell at a glance that playing polo with these soldiers was very boring, and even if he won, it would be meaningless.

"If Gu Qing is here, you can invite him to Huang Gu's Taoist temple to rest for a few days. That guy is full of evil, he does bad things calmly, and he dares to kill people. It will be a lot of fun to play with him..." Wan

Princess Chun stared at the bleak winter water in the Dragon Pond and murmured to herself absently: "...When will my father transfer him back to Chang'an? It's been almost a year."

Walking gloomily on the path beside Longchi, he saw the eunuch ducking aside by the road, holding a memorial in his hand. Wanchun glanced at him sideways and said: "State affairs are important, there is no need to be formal. I will submit the memorial to my father soon."

King."

The eunuch hurriedly saluted and said, "This slave is very frightened."

Wan Chun, who was bored, asked curiously: "Where did you send the memorial?"

The eunuch smiled and said: "Returning to Your Highness Princess, this is a memorial from the Anxi Protectorate, sent by Gu Houye, the deputy envoy of Anxi Jiedu."

Princess Wanchun's eyes lit up. Just hearing his name, her heart beat suddenly much faster. Could it be that she was sick?

"Show me." Wan Chun stretched out his slender hands as white as jade towards him.

The eunuch was embarrassed and said: "This..."

Snapped!

A whip struck the eunuch, and the eunuch screamed in pain.

"If you don't know how to praise me, how dare you disobey me!" Wan Chun's eyes grew colder.

The eunuch endured the pain and handed over the memorial with both hands.

Wan Chun couldn't wait to open it and burst into laughter after reading only one line of words: "Haha, such ugly words! Hahahaha!"

Then he continued to read and saw the strategy proposed by Gu Qing to pacify Tubo. Wanchun's mocking expression froze, and his expression gradually became serious, and he began to read carefully word by word.

After reading it from beginning to end, Wanchun exhaled softly and exclaimed: "It is really a pillar of talent. If this plan can be sold, it can alleviate the problems of the Tang Dynasty for hundreds of years."

Thinking that he had a good eye and saw the right person, the person he was longing for was really not a mediocre person. He had a great victory over Tubo in the past, and today there was a thunderous strategy to defeat Tubo. Thinking of this, Wan Chun couldn't help but feel proud.

His look and expression were even more arrogant.

The man I like must be a hero who can equal the world.

"Go and show this memorial to your father. Remember not to let anyone know..." Wan Chun thought for a moment, then raised his nostrils proudly and said, "That's all, I will deign to condescend you and personally give you
