In his later years, Li Longji was by no means a qualified boss. He was conceited, suspicious, ungrateful, and dim-witted. He had all the bad habits of an emperor and was a true loner.

It's not that he has no friends, but he doesn't want to trust anyone from the bottom of his heart. He is always paranoid about being persecuted. He always feels that the people around him will rebel against him at any time, so he uses the coldest methods to treat his enemies and treats his ministers and blood relatives.

.

The so-called "holy family" is just an appearance. No matter how warm and friendly it is on the surface, it is just a performance. Only he knows best how long the shelf life of his life-saving grace is in Li Longji's heart.

Bian Lingcheng's courage was not weak tonight, and he was much stronger than the last time he saw him. Although his words were still respectful and polite, Gu Qing could still hear a hint of confrontation.

So, did Li Longji secretly give him any order? He gave a secret order to a supervisory army far away at the border. In addition to surveillance and containment, what else could it contain?

Gu Qing smiled even brighter.

The four towns of Anxi are really lively. One Jiedushi government actually has three forces, Gao Xianzhi, Bian Lingcheng, and Gu Qing.

The original plan was to sit on the mountain and watch the fight between Gao Xianzhi and Bian Lingcheng, while Gu Qing reaped the benefits. Now it seems that the situation has changed, and Bian Lingcheng seems to want to force him into the fight.

It has to be said that Li Longji is really good at it. Chang'an, which is thousands of miles away, can actually change the balance of the Anxi Jiedushi Mansion. Even if Gu Qing doesn't want to participate in the fight, he can force Gu Qing to participate. Bian Lingcheng is so talented.

The chess pieces have been put to their best use.

Now that the situation in Anxi has changed, Gu Qing's plan will also change.

After the banquet ended, Bian Lingcheng and the generals said goodbye to Gu Qing and left. Before leaving, Lingcheng smiled and said something in Gu Qing's ear.

"This slave is willing to accept the Lord as the lord of Anxi."

Gu Qing smiled and refused, as a pure man would not associate with a dead eunuch.

After everyone left, Gu Qing was still sitting at the table, drinking alone.

"Han Jie..."

"The end will be here."

"Send someone to ask Commander Gao Jie to come to Zuowei Camp for a military parade tomorrow."

"yes."

In the front hall of the inn where cups and plates were scattered, Gu Qing crossed his legs and filled a glass of wine. He looked at the amber wine in the glass, his expression falling into a daze.

I thought that after leaving Chang'an, I would be free of restraints, but after arriving in Anxi, I was still trapped in a mess of fights.

Time is getting tighter and tighter. Gu Qing has a lot to do, but now he still has to devote a lot of energy to deal with these internal conflicts and entanglements. The war that is about to affect the entire Tang Dynasty is getting closer and closer. If the war comes,

With Gu Qing's current weight in Anxi, all he can use is the 10,000 troops at the left guard. What role can these troops move to Guanzhong to stop the rebels?

In just over two years, he has reached this position. Is the future just going to stop here?

After drinking a glass of wine alone, Gu Qing was already a bit tipsy. He lowered his head and murmured in a low voice: "It's easy to let go when a boy is drunk in the countryside. When spring comes... don't compare your sorrows to flying flowers. There are countless flowers, but countless sorrows."

Behind Gu Qing, Huangfu Sisi's gentle footsteps suddenly stopped, his eyes flashed with light, he murmured this poem silently, then pursed his lips, and his charming eyes dimmed a little.

"As expected of a talented man, his long and short sentences are especially provocative. He has been appointed as Deputy Envoy of Jiedushi, and has been given the title of County Marquis. He is already so prominent in his twenties. What else does he have to worry about?"

The guests all left, leaving Gu Qing alone. Huangfu Sisi originally wanted to come over to use a beauty trick and flirt with the marquis, but after hearing Gu Qing's long and short sentences, Huangfu Sisi suddenly changed his mind.

In addition to beauty, a woman's weapon also includes gentle words. Sometimes a thoughtful and caring word can capture a man's heart more than beauty.

Turning around and taking a bottle of wine, Huangfu Sisi sat opposite Gu Qing, filled herself a glass of wine, bowed to Gu Qing, and then raised her neck to drink it all. Gu Qing only saw her white jade neck, like a bird looking up to the sky.

The singing white swan.

"Master Hou, drinking alone, don't you feel bored? Is it my honor to have a few drinks with you?" Huangfu Sisi said with a sweet smile.

Gu Qing pondered for a moment and then said slowly: "People like you are a very despicable type of drinker at the wine table. When everyone at the table is drinking, you remain calm, but when everyone is almost drunk, you jump out and offer a toast."

Respect that, turning over the table is just adding insult to injury, girl, you must have no friends, right?"

Huangfu Sisi was stunned, looking down at his wine glass stupidly, and then at Gu Qing.

It was really difficult to chat with this prince. How could he... come up with this idea? What a strange way of thinking.

Han Jie behind Gu Qing suddenly sighed and walked out without saying a word.

"If Lord Marquis is drunk, just don't drink. I don't force you." Huangfu Sisi said helplessly.

Gu Qing sneered: "To put it nicely, if you say 'I'll drink to you as you like' at the wine table, how many of the people being toasted would really be embarrassed to say 'whatever you want'? For the sake of face, you will do it even if you are drunk, so don't say anything you say."

People who drink actually have bad intentions in order to retreat in order to advance..."

Huangfu Sisi looked at him blankly.

Is this Marquis a born bully?

"Master Hou, I don't want to drink anymore. You and I don't drink, so how about we just sit and chat?" Huangfu Sisi said in compromise, swallowing her anger.

Gu Qing snorted and said: "The two of us are sitting face to face and doing nothing. Are they enlightening or practicing Zen? Why should I waste my time with a strange woman?"

Huangfu took a deep breath.

It seems... I can't bear it anymore.

As a female shopkeeper who runs an inn, she deals with merchants from all over the world all day long. Of course, Huangfu Sisi's temper cannot be too docile. When she meets merchants who understand etiquette, she will show off her charming charm to retain their hearts.

If she encounters an unreasonable merchant, she will show another fierce face and overwhelm him in terms of momentum.

At this moment, Huangfu Sisi couldn't help but get angry. What kind of beauty trap, what kind of seduction of men, what the hell, is the Marquis so awesome? I'm willing to give up!

boom!

Huangfu Sisi slammed the table and stepped on the table in front of Gu Qing with one leg, revealing the slender flower shoes embroidered with lotus green edges under her skirt. Her almond-shaped eyes widened and she shouted angrily: "Not on the left, not on the right, either.

Do you want to drink or not? If not, get out of here. It’s late at night and the shop is about to close. If you want to drink, you can drink as much as I want. So much nonsense. Did the Marquis rise to the official position just by talking? In one sentence

, have a good time, do you want to drink?"

Gu Qing was startled and did not recover for a long time.

Outside the door, Han Jie and his guards heard the noise and rushed in one after another. They saw Huangfu Sisi stepping on the table and staring at Gu Qing with a fierce expression. Gu Qing was stunned, as if he had seen a ghost. Seeing this scene in front of him

, Han Jie’s eyes flashed, this... is this flirting?

So Han Jie pretended not to see anything, turned around decisively and called the guards out.

Gu Qing saw Han Jie and his guards coming in and out, and couldn't help but became anxious: "Don't leave! Beat her to death!"

Han Jie and the guards didn't seem to hear it.

Gu Qing was helpless, pointed at her and said harshly: "You...just wait for me, I will ask my fiancée to beat you to death."

Huangfu Sisi stared at him unwilling to be outdone. For a long time, he suddenly laughed. The laughter became louder and louder. He laughed so hard that his crescent-shaped eyes filled with tears.

"Master Hou, you are really... so interesting, haha."

He was so angry. This crazy woman was sick. She was seriously ill. Gu Qing reflected on his performance just now. He seemed a little embarrassed to be frightened by a crazy woman...

"Do you want to see my more interesting side?" Gu Qing suddenly asked with a smile.

Huangfu Sisi was still smiling and nodded: "Of course I want to see the more interesting side of the Marquis..."

"Girl, are you short of money to open this inn?"

"Who is not short of money? No amount of money is enough." Huangfu sighed quietly.

"Congratulations, girl, your good luck has come."

Huangfu Sisi blinked her almond-shaped eyes, not understanding what he meant.

Gu Qing put the wine glass on the table, stood up, dusted off the hem of his clothes, walked out, and said lightly: "I've had enough wine and food, I'll say goodbye."

Huangfu Sisi stared blankly at his figure disappearing into the front hall.

Just as his eyes were a little confused, he suddenly heard Gu Qingyang shouting from outside: "Smash this shabby inn and pay for it!"

A group of personal guards suddenly accepted the order, and then Huangfu Sisi saw a group of wolf-like personal guards rushing in, smashing things and throwing down furnishings...

…………

On the way back to the camp, Han Jie looked at Gu Qing with a puzzled expression and hesitated several times.

Finally, Han Jie couldn't help it anymore and asked, "Did the Marquis just become enemies with that girl?"

"What's the point of enmity? Didn't you see that I had a very happy conversation with her? To be honest, she almost fell in love with me." Gu Qing said without changing his expression.

"We were having such a good time and you still smashed up her shop?"

"There are many ways to express love. Mine is a flirting style. The more you do it, the happier you will be."

Han Jie sighed: "Master Hou, it is really a pleasure to chat with you..."

Gu Qing said with a smile: "Civilization and barbarism are actually opposites and unified. A civilization built with countless efforts, barbarism can destroy it overnight. However, after destruction and reconstruction, it often surpasses the previous civilization. Human beings are constantly evolving.

Slowly progressing in its destruction and reconstruction.”

Han Jie was confused and didn't understand a word Gu Qing said.

"You see, I smashed that girl's shop, and I lost money after that. After she took the money, she naturally wanted to rebuild the inn. You can be sure that the rebuilt inn is newer and more beautiful than the original one. I was the one who destroyed the old one.

Civilization, and at the same time helping her rebuild a new civilization, do you think she should thank me?"

Han Jie finally understood and couldn't help but said: "But Mr. Hou smashed the store and lost money, what is he trying to do? Is he hiding his power and biding his time to show it to people like Bian Lingcheng?"

Gu Qing smiled and said: "Don't think too complicated. I smashed the store because she scared me just now, so I want revenge. I lost money because I have money and I am happy. She got a new store and I vented my anger. It's the best of both worlds. It's more
