The most important thing about friends is caring, but the degree of caring between friends varies.

Some people regard the other person as a confidant they only meet in this life, the kind of person who can be loyal to Jinlan, but the other person often only treats him as a familiar stranger, and sometimes does not even treat him as a human being.

Ge Shuhan and Gu Qing looked like this at the moment.

Gu Qing felt that Ge Shuhan was a close friend with whom they could play the music of mountains and rivers, but it was obvious that Ge Shuhan did not want to be Gu Qing's close friend. Since he met Gu Qing, Ge Shuhan had been swallowing his anger most of the time. Gu Qing suddenly said a sentence

The words could drive him half to death.

When you think of him as a human, he is not necessarily a human, but when you think of him as a dog, he is a real dog.

Seeing the unhappy look on Ge Shuhan's face, Gu Qing also felt a little unhappy.

You personally sent someone to invite me as a guest outside Yumen Pass, and then you showed me this face of debt collection?

This year's host is not good at all. He can't make Gu Qing feel at home at all.

The guards led the way, and Ge Shuhan and Gu Qing were walking in the middle. After walking for a while, Ge Shuhan suddenly asked: "Gu Jieshuai was transferred back to Chang'an by Your Majesty and appointed as the Right Guard General. I can't say whether he will be promoted or demoted."

It is clear that although he is no longer an official in the feudal territory, he still always accompanies the Holy Master, and his grace will not be less. Gu Jieshuai must not be discouraged, sooner or later he will rise again."

Gu Qing knew that Ge Shuhan was comforting him, but he really didn't feel discouraged at all. He knew that he would be able to return to Anxi soon.

So Gu Qing said with a half-smile but not a smile: "Anxi is no longer my favorite. Brother Shujieshuai, don't have other thoughts. Again, the war horses, weapons, food and grass allocated by the imperial court in the future will not be used at all when passing by your Hexi Festival Mansion."

move."

Ge Shuhan sneered: "You are no longer the governor of Anxi, can you still control me? If I are detained, can you still lead the army to start a provocation?"

Gu Qing blinked: "Jie Commander, you can give it a try. Although I am not the Jiedushi Commander of Anxi, I may be transferred back to Anxi inexplicably before long..."

Ge Shuhan was stunned. This sentence contained so much information.

"Are you confident that His Majesty will transfer you back to Anxi? Or is it that the uprising in Anlu Mountain in the north is about to happen, and His Majesty has no choice but to transfer you back to Anxi?"

Gu Qing smiled mysteriously, but avoided answering.

Some things are too sensitive, so just leave it at that. If it weren't for the fact that he might have to help Ge Shuhan when suppressing the rebellion in the future, Gu Qing would not even reveal the slightest hint of it.

"Ahem, Ge Shujieshuai, what are the specifications of the banquet at Hexi Jiefu?" Gu Qing asked curiously.

"Specifications?" Ge Shuhan was stunned for a moment and said: "There is wine and meat, and by the way, there is also kabuki. Isn't that what happened in the Tang Dynasty?"

Gu Qing sighed and said: "Brother Shujieshuai, you are so unhospitable as a host. I came all the way here just to say, 'wine and meat'? Do I need your meal of wine and meat?"

"How else will you treat me?"

"I am well-fed and well-fed in Qiuci City. For wine, I want authentic and high-quality grape wine from the Western Regions. It is usually given to me by Hu merchants who have just entered the city. It is fresh and mellow. For meat, I want to eat the tail of an antelope lamb.

The nose of the yak, the wings of the wild goose, the tongue of the lark..."

Ge Shuhan was stunned: "Can these things you mentioned...be eaten? If you don't eat good meat, why would you eat these weird things?"

Gu Qing sighed, looked into the distance with a lonely expression, and said quietly: "I have been working in Kucha City for several years, and my life has been a little luxurious. What kind of delicacies have I not eaten in the past few years? In my handsome tent, there are dishes

There are hundreds of gold vessels in my body, and all kinds of birds and beasts in the sky and underground water have eaten them. I feel that my spirit has become so empty that I have lost my purpose in life. I can only use rare food to fill my increasingly scarce spiritual world..."

Ge Shuhan took in a sharp breath.

You can't smoke the guests you invite for being a bad person, you can't smoke...

Gu Qing withdrew his lonely gaze, glanced at him silently, and said softly: "Can Shujieshuai understand my emptiness?"

Ge Shuhan held back his anger and stroked his beard and said: "I..."

Just after he said two words, Gu Qing suddenly interrupted him and said firmly: "No, you don't understand. How can you understand the world of rich people if you are so poor?"

Ge Shuhan was silent for a moment, then suddenly raised his voice and roared: "Come here, see me off!"

"Gu Jieshuai, don't speculate or conspire with your words. I really can't bear to have a banquet with you in the same room. I'm sorry for not entertaining you. You should leave Liangzhou City as soon as possible and take care of yourself along the way. See you again!"

After speaking, Ge Shuhan decisively mounted the horse, kicked the horse in the belly and galloped away, leaving a few words in the distance.

"Gu Qing, don't let me see you in Chang'an and beat you every time I see you. It's too much to bully someone!"

Gu Qing watched in shock as Ge Shuhan and his guards left, with a look of disbelief on his face.

Just... just left like that? Where's the treat you promised? You invited me all the way from Yumen Pass to Liangzhou City, but before I even entered the Jie Mansion, I actually turned against you. I wanted to treat you because I thought your Jie Mansion was yours.

Are you too poor to entertain a wealthy man like me?

Gu Qing stood on the street of Liangzhou City. He stood there for a long time and was finally brought back to his senses by the cold wind. He turned around and looked at Han Jie and other personal guards. They all looked at him with speechless faces, and both sides looked at each other silently.

For a long time, Gu Qing curled his lips in disgust and said: "As you can see, you can't be too Shu Han. He calls it 'people are poor but have short ambitions'. People can be poor, but their way of life must not be poor. Ge Shuhan is such a person."

This is a typical negative teaching material, and we should learn from it."

Han Jie sighed and said bitterly: "If it weren't for Mr. Marquis, you just...whatever, everything Mr. Marquis said would be right."

"Let's go out of the city and continue on our way," Gu Qing got on his horse and suddenly said: "After returning to Chang'an, you must follow me every time I travel. No one is missing."

"Why?"

"If you see Ge Shuhan in Chang'an City, beat him every time you see him."

…………

Chang'an City, Zhang Jiuzhang Mansion.

Zhang Huaiyu and Zhang Huaijin were sitting in the boudoir with complicated expressions.

When they heard the news that Gu Qing had been dismissed from the post of governor of Anxi and transferred back to Chang'an, the Zhang family sisters felt both happy and worried.

The good news is that Gu Qing is finally going back to Chang'an, but the bad news is that Gu Qing only came back this time after being dismissed from office.

"Counting the days, Gu Qing should have entered Yumen Pass. After passing Liangzhou and Longyoujie Mansion, he will not be far from Chang'an." Zhang Huaiyu said leisurely.

Zhang Huaijin hummed and said in a low voice: "Sister, after Brother Gu comes back, should I look happy or sad when I see him? I don't even know what kind of expression I should use to see him..."

Zhang Huaiyu raised the corner of his mouth and said: "Of course I have to welcome you with a smile. Returning to Chang'an is a happy event."

"Why is it such a happy event? Brother Gu has been dismissed as the military governor of Anxi. People in the market say that what Brother Gu did in Anxi dissatisfied the emperor, so he was dismissed. He must feel very sad, right?"

Zhang Huaiyu said calmly: "I believe that he has his own reasons for everything he does, and I also believe that he has fully considered the consequences of everything. I also believe that even in the worst situation, he will

Lay the groundwork in advance and wait for the opportunity to rebound."

Zhang Huaijin pursed his lips and said, "Sister, do you believe him that much?"

Zhang Huaiyu laughed and said: "Aren't you always determined to be his woman? If his woman doesn't even have this little trust, how will she live in the future?"

Zhang Huaijin said aggrievedly: "It's not that I don't trust him, but... oh, I don't understand the military affairs you told him, let alone the strategies and layouts of men's families. I just want to be happy with Brother Gu.

Live a peaceful life, play with me every day, eat with me, make mischief with me and get into trouble..."

"Sister, what about you? What do you want him to do with you?"

Zhang Huaiyu looked at the bleak scenery in mid-winter outside the window and said calmly: "I don't want him to do anything with me. I just want to pave a road with him. Back then, he once said that he wanted to pave a new road for the world. This sentence makes me

I always remember that I really wanted to see what that new road looked like. He said... with this road, there would be no need for knights and knights in the world to exist."

Pursing his lips, Zhang Huaiyu suddenly stood up, looked at Zhang Huaijin, smiled, and said, "Huaijin, I suddenly miss him..."

Zhang Huaijin was stunned: "I miss him... so what?"

"If you miss him, go see him, that's all." After leaving these words, Zhang Huaiyu turned around and walked out the door.

Instructing his servants to prepare horses and bring some dry food and drinking water, Zhang Huaiyu left Chang'an City on horseback and set off on his way back to Gu Qing.

Chang'an City, Xingqing Palace.

In the spacious dormitory, Wan Chun was slowly trying on clothes. The floor was a mess, filled with new clothes that she was not satisfied with. After trying them on, she threw them on the ground in disgust.

What she is wearing at the moment is a purple palace skirt, which reaches the floor. The skirt is embroidered with delicate peonies. The skirt is decorated with lotus leaf patterns, and her graceful appearance exudes a bit of youthfulness.

"How do you like this dress?" Wan Chun stood proudly in front of the bronze mirror, raised her nostrils and stared at herself in the mirror proudly, and asked the palace maid who was waiting for her to change without looking back.

The palace maid lowered her head and said tremblingly: "Your Highness wears this purple dress that is graceful and luxurious. It is worthy of the noble status of the Princess. I think it is extremely beautiful."

Wan Chun obviously didn't take the palace maid's flattery to heart. He was neither happy nor angry when he heard this. He frowned and looked at himself in the mirror, but for some reason, he became more and more dissatisfied with the purple dress on his body.

For a long time, Wan Chun sighed quietly: "There is not even a piece of clothing worthy of me in the world, let alone a man..."

This damn noble status has nowhere to be placed.

Perhaps the only one who barely deserves it is Gu Qing, right?

In the past few days, Wan Chun had tried on hundreds of clothes in the palace, all because she learned that Gu Qing had been dismissed from his post by his father and returned to Chang'an to be promoted to General Youwei.

A woman wants to please her appearance, so Wan Chun wants to choose some beautiful clothes before Gu Qing returns to Chang'an, so that he can't pull his eyes out after seeing them.

To be honest, Wan Chun was quite happy when he heard the news.

She didn't understand what it meant to be transferred from Jiedushi to Youwei General, and what a significant impact it would have on Gu Qing's future career. She only knew that Gu Qing was coming back from that desolate and barren border town, and being transferred to Youwei General meant that Gu Qing

From then on he became the general guarding the Forbidden Palace, and from then on he could be seen every day.

A man like Gu Qing must stay for the whole year.
