He led his personal guards to rush out of Chang'an. The majestic and majestic Chang'an city walls behind him became smaller and smaller, and finally gradually blurred and disappeared on the horizon of the Guanzhong Plain.

When you go out of the city and go west, the first stop is Longzhou.

It was already the season when spring was in full bloom, but the weather was still a little cold. Gu Qing rode on the horse, wrapped in a thick sheepskin on the front, but it still couldn't stop the cold wind from pouring it on his body.

While galloping, he turned his head to look at Han Jie, and Gu Qing asked, "Have you and your brothers arranged the family members?"

Han Jie shouted loudly in the wind: "The family has been transferred. Following the orders of the marquis, he went southwest. Those who have relatives and good deeds will go to the relatives, and those who have no relatives and no reason will be given some money to find a prefecture and county to buy a house to live in."

Gu Qing said again: "If brothers don't have enough money, you must tell me that supporting a family is the most important thing. If you follow me and work hard, I can't let your family feel cold."

Han Jie grinned and said, "Don't worry, my brothers have been following the Marquis over the years, but they have been cheaper. The rewards they receive from the Marquis every now and then are enough for their local owners, and there is no problem in supporting their family."

Gu Qing couldn't help but look back at the guards behind him.

They were vivid faces. They loved life and supported their families. They did not hesitate to work hard. They never hesitated.

I hope that after this war, everyone can live and smile.

"Mr. Marquis, there should be no change when we go back to Anxi this time, right?" Han Jie hesitated and said, "The general was worried that if His Majesty changed his mind again, or that the Marquis would kill someone he should not have killed, and he would be punished by His Majesty..."

Gu Qing smiled and said, "This time it's different. From now on, I don't have to compromise for anyone."

Han Jie was stunned and stumbled Gu Qing's words. He felt that after the Marquis left Chang'an City, his temperament and spirit were different, but he couldn't say what was different.

Calm and domineering, like a sharp sword that had just been pulled out of its sheath.

Sixty miles away from Chang'an City, everyone came to a fork in the road. Han Jie suddenly pointed to the front and said, "Marty, there is a team of people in front, which seems to be the Yulin Guard... and a carriage."

Gu Qing slowed down his horse speed, and then looked at the flags of Yulin Guard, which turned out to be Princess Wanchun's guard of honor.

So Gu Qing and his guards hurriedly dismounted and walked to the imperial carriage.

Princess Wanchun had obviously been waiting for a long time, so she specially chose an unobtrusive wilderness.

Yulin Guard got the order and did not stop Gu Qing and let him go.

Gu Qing came to the imperial carriage and bowed and saluted: "My minister Gu Qing, pay homage to His Highness the Princess."

The bead curtain of the imperial carriage was lifted open, and the palace maid helped Princess Wanchun walk down.

Wan Chun seems to have dressed up specifically today. She did not wear a formal palace outfit, but a purple ground-length palace dress. Her hair was tied up high, her cheeks were slightly pink, and her fair skin was a little bright red.

After Wan Chun walked down from the imperial carriage, he stood in front of Gu Qing and looked at him resentfully. Gu Qing coughed twice uncomfortably.

With his arms stretched out, Wan Chun turned around in front of him and said softly: "Gu Qing, does this dress look good?"

Gu Qing nodded: "It looks good."

Wanchun smiled, with a bit of sadness in her smile.

"This is the clothes I chose specially. In order to choose it, I took a long time, about... Well, I tried hundreds of clothes for two days and two nights, but I was satisfied with this one. It was cut from Shu brocade that paid tribute to Shu. The clothes were inlaid with hundreds of pearls of the same size. The lace was embroidered by the most outstanding craftsmen in Chang'an. The thread sewing the lace was pure gold thread. It took craftsmen three days and three nights to make it. This garment took a few feet of gold thread..."

Listening to Wan Chun talking about how rare and expensive the clothes on her body were, Gu Qing was confused.

Why are you talking about this with me, a man? Don’t talk hard without a common topic. You always feel that the more you talk, the more embarrassing you are.

Wan Chun, as if she was unaware, still said to herself: "Gu Qing, how is my makeup today? Does it look good?"

Gu Qing coughed dryly and said, "Okay, good-looking..."

Wan Chun smiled again and said, "I painted today's makeup by myself. The most expensive makeup used in Chang'an City. The leaves on the eyebrows are also carefully pasted with three-leaf flowers. My hair bun is the most popular double cloud bun in the folk. The red hairpin on the bun is a gem tribute from the Western Regions. It was made by craftsmen after half a month... I didn't sleep all night, and I started to dress up my makeup at midnight last night. I left the city until dawn and waited for you here. If you don't come again, my makeup will be spent."

Gu Qing became more and more uncomfortable when he heard it, and said, "Uh, Your Highness the Princess..."

But Wan Chun interrupted him and smiled and said, "Do you know why I want to tell you this?"

Gu Qing lowered his head and said, "I don't know."

Wan Chun smiled sadly and said, "I said these things to tell you that I have used all my strength to dress myself up as the most beautiful appearance and appear in front of you to see you off."

"I have never liked a man in my life. I don't know how to please a man's heart, and I don't know how to get into his heart. My way is to dress up clumsyly and try my best to make myself the most beautiful so that he can remember me deeply, remember my most beautiful appearance, and me, a person who doesn't understand the world but is not bad."

His eyes were obsessed and burning, and Wan Chun whispered with tears in his eyes: "Gu Qing, do you remember me?"

Gu Qing was moved by this woman for the first time and nodded when he heard this: "I remember that the most beautiful appearance of Your Highness, I will never forget it in my life."

"In front of you, I am not Your Highness, my name is Li Zhi."

Gu Qing remained silent.

Wan Chun sighed sadly and said, "Forget it, it's good to remember me. The world is full of separation. Gu Qing, you can quell the rebellion well. When you are in the triumphant day, I will wait for you in Chang'an City. At that time, I was still the most beautiful, just for you."

Gu Qing pursed his lips and whispered: "I thank Your Highness for your wrong love."

"It's not a wrong love, I don't have a wrong love, you deserve it."

Wan Chun was just here to say goodbye, and what he should say was finished. Wan Chun stared at Gu Qing, imprinted his appearance deeply into his mind, engraved it in his memory, and then turned around and boarded the chariot.

Just as Gu Qing was about to bow and salute, Wan Chun stood on the chariot and suddenly turned around and shouted: "Gu Qing, can you forget the bad looks of me in the past, okay?"

Gu Qing smiled and said, "I have forgotten it long ago."

Wan Chun pointed to his face again and said seriously: "You must remember what I am now. For this, I really did my best."

"Your Highness today is more beautiful than ever, more beautiful than all the women I know."

Wanchun smiled with tears in her eyes. When she turned her head, Gu Qing clearly saw tears rolling down, falling to the ground and turning into frost, like a piece of unmelt snow in spring.

…………

The most difficult thing to get the kindness of a beauty.

After saying goodbye to Wan Chun, Gu Qing's mood was always depressed. He rode his horse for several days, left Guanzhong and entered the Longyou territory, and Gu Qing's mood was slightly better.

This time the itinerary was very fast. Gu Qing and his personal guards marched day and night. Every time they ran for hundreds of miles, they would change horses at Guanyi. The horseshares would not stop and they would almost arrive in Liangzhou City in less than ten days.

Compared with the chaos of wars in Henan, Hebei and Beijing, the boundaries of Longyou and Hexi do not seem to be greatly affected. This place is as peaceful as ever. Pedestrian caravans on the road are rushing calmly without any panic. The people passing by are also quite leisurely.

Only in these small border towns can you feel the afterglow of the prosperous Tang Dynasty.

When he was about to arrive in Liangzhou City, Gu Qing finally felt a nervous breath.

The troops were frequently mobilized, and from time to time, we encountered the Tang army heading eastward on the road, including cavalry, infantry, and carriages carrying huge siege ordnance parts, which were struggling slowly.

Gu Qing knew that these were the army that led the kings to set sail on Chang'an under the order, and should be the army under the jurisdiction of Longyou and Hexi.

"Mr. Marquis, the convenience is Liangzhou City. Should we go to the city to meet Brother Shu Jieshuai?" Han Jie asked immediately.

Gu Qing thought for a while and said, "I should meet you, walk and enter the city."

After leading his personal guards into the city, Gu Qing walked straight towards Hexi Jiefu. Looking at the prosperous scene in Liangzhou City that was completely different from the time it was, Gu Qing nodded secretly.

Kangding Shuang is quite good at doing business. This person is indeed a talented person. Unfortunately, he is a prince. He will help him restore his country in the future. He has not had much time to use for himself.

When passing by the market in the city, a Hu merchant on the side of the road pointed at Gu Qing and said, "Mr. Gu! It's Marquis Gu! Marquis Gu is back!"

Gu Qing was shocked. The Hu Shang had already come to Gu Qing to salute and said in surprise: "It's Marquis Gu, have you been transferred back to Anxi? Are you going to Kucha City on this trip?"

Gu Qing looked at him and found that he didn't know him.

Hu Shang hurriedly said: "The villain went to the Kucha City Market and bought two shops half a year ago. Later, the Marquis was transferred from Anxi and Pei Jieshuai took over as the governor. Many merchants were worried, so they left Kucha and came to Liangzhou to conduct business..."

Gu Qing suddenly realized that he was about to speak, but there were a large group of merchants around him, including Hu merchants and Tang merchants, all saluting Gu Qing. Almost half of the merchants in the market ran out after hearing the news.

Gu Qing curled his lips and said loudly: "Dear shopkeepers, merchants, right? I, Gu Qing, was transferred back to Anxi by His Majesty to serve as the governor of the army. This trip was about to go to Kucha City..."

"The market in Kucha City needs everyone. After I took office as the governor of Anxi, the taxes of the four towns in Anxi can be reduced by half. Kucha City will also issue more preferential decrees. Everyone is welcome to go back to Kucha City, which is the pearl in the desert, and you can make a fortune by hand."

The crowd was excited, and Gu Qing incited the merchants to the point of being reluctant to do so.

Finally, Gu Qing simply turned over and rode his horse and incited him: "Go back to Kucha City, Liangzhou can't compare with the discounts for our Kucha City. Go back and prepare quickly and I will go with me tomorrow."

The crowd was boiling, and the businessmen were excited, and they didn't know what they were excited about, and they all responded loudly to Gu Qing's call.
