The coat of the war horse was taken off, and Yun Chu felt as if he had been struck by lightning!
long long ago.
When Yunchu was still in high school, one boring afternoon, Yunchu passed by a girl.
To this day, Yunchu still remembers the weather that day, the advertisements on the streets, the mottled light and shadow on the green trees and red walls, and he even remembers the voice-over-like shouting, which was shouted by an apricot vendor.
The apricots are very yellow, very big, and they look plump and juicy...
Yun Chu subconsciously looked at the girl's back, picked up the apricots and ate them. When the girl's back disappeared from Yun Chu's eyes, who had excellent eyesight, he realized that the apricot seller was looking at him with evil intentions.
When I lowered my head again, I realized that I had eaten a lot of apricots.
That day, Yun Chu gave all his lunch money to the apricot seller.
And because he ate so many apricots, his teeth were sore and he couldn't eat anything for a whole day.
He remembered everything, even the obscene expression on the guy selling apricots, and the two long nose hairs sticking out of his nostrils.
I can't remember what that girl looked like, I just know that she was extremely beautiful.
Seeing the horse in front of him, Yun Chu couldn't help but think of that afternoon that had made him linger and mourn for many years.
Beautiful things are beautiful things. The reason why they are called beautiful is because they are really beautiful... This is nonsense, but it is the real thought in Yunchu's heart.
The beauty of this horse lies not only in its pearly fur, but also in its smooth body shape. All parts are extremely well-proportioned, not big, not small, not tall, not short. The most extraordinary thing is that Yun Chu can actually move from
There was a hint of charm in the horse's eyes.
This is very humane, and I don’t know if this trace of humanity is inherent in the horse itself, or if people voluntarily added it to it after seeing it.
This is a shining horse. The best part is that the light changes with the movement of the horse's muscles, alternating between light and dark, flowing like water.
This is a living light.
If it is extremely beautiful, then more beauty will be gathered into it. God is so unfair, and if it has more, it will give it more.
"It's over, Yu Chu, you can come in too, my brother has reserved a place for you." Wang Xiaojie's donkey-like voice sounded behind Yun Chu.
Yun Chu lowered his head to look at the bay-red horse that looked similar to a donkey, feeling emotional, then looked back at Wang Xiaojie, who had a pair of donkey ears, and finally said to Zhang Donghai, who had a vaguely donkey face, "Cover it up.
"
Zhang Donghai groaned and said to Yun Chu in a low voice: "Junhou, you can't take it. This thing is too eye-catching and cannot be concealed."
Yun Chu glanced at the horse-shaped pearl one last time, then looked back at Wang Xiaojie and said to Zhang Donghai: "Let him out."
When Zhang Donghai heard that Yunchu wanted Wang Xiaojie and not the horse, he immediately breathed a sigh of relief, quickly put a coat on the horse and released Wang Xiaojie from the cage.
Wang Xiaojie swung a pair of donkey ears and ran towards Yun Chu happily, but was kicked fiercely by Yun Chu in the side and kicked back into the cage.
All the unwillingness and anger were vented from this foot, and Yunchu finally returned to his normal state of mind.
Looking at the boy again, he saw that the child's two big eyes were full of grievances, so he took out a handful of fried soybeans from his sleeve and put it in his hand, letting the boy eat them in several mouthfuls.
Wang Xiaojie screamed and crawled out of the cage again, carefully came to Yun Chu and said, "You can't kick me anymore. I haven't been given food for two days. I'm weak and I don't need a beating."
The reason why Yun Chu beat Wang Xiaojie was entirely because this bastard had stayed in the Western Regions for so long that he began to think like a Westerner.
The difference between the Western Regions and the Tang Dynasty is that the Tang Dynasty is an extreme individual heroism, but the Tang Dynasty is a collective society.
In a society where individual heroism prevails, everyone wants to get the most beautiful woman, the fastest horse, and the most delicious food. Therefore, after Wang Xiaojie saw this Pegasus, his first thought was
Hide it for your own use.
The society of the Tang Dynasty was not like this. It was a collective society similar to a beehive or an ant nest.
Power comes from the queen bee and queen ant, who then delegate power in turn, and finally form a relatively stable society.
This status quo will not change. Ever since Qin Shihuang laid this social foundation, no matter how this nation changes over many, many years, it will always remain true to its origins.
In such a society, the pearl-like war horse that has been re-covered with a blouse can only belong to the emperor.
For anyone other than the emperor to obtain this horse, it would not be tolerated in the hive-like social system of the Tang Dynasty, and would disrupt the inherent social structure.
"Princes, generals and ministers, would you rather have the seed?"
This sentence was shouted by Chen Sheng and Wu Guang.
There is indeed no seed for princes and generals in China. You can overthrow the original princes and generals and become a prince and general yourself. Then, after you have become a prince and general, princes and generals will have the seed... In other words, you
He continued to perpetuate the hive-like social system and was a staunch defender of it until it was overthrown by other dissatisfied people.
Anyway, dragon-slaying heroes will eventually turn into evil dragons. This will not change. Yun Chu even doubts that even if all the people on this land die, new humans or other races will be born again.
, will also continue this social system.
As long as there is a trace of ancient genes left in his or her genes, society will not change.
So - we are the descendants of the dragon!
Looking at Wang Xiaojie devouring his food, Yunchu asked Zhang Donghai: "Can this bastard be saved?"
Zhang Donghai said: "This is a bastard. It's not worthwhile to save him."
"Why?"
"He has destroyed the Tianshan Hanhai Protectorate. The people there have no means of living and the population has almost disappeared."
Yun Chu said: "The living habits of the herdsmen are like this. They live in pursuit of water and grass. This is very common in the Western Regions."
Zhang Donghai hesitated and said, "Then someone needs to take the blame."
Yunchu looked at Wang Xiaojie, who was still eating carelessly, and sighed: "His Protector's Palace is between the Beiting Protector's Palace and Anxi Protector's Palace, and there is still no clear subordinate.
Look, can this blame be thrown on Xue Rengui and Pei Xingjian?
As for the Turks and Uighurs who belong to the land, they have not disappeared, they have just changed their lives in another place. Anyway, the Western Regions all belong to the Tang Dynasty."
"Xue Rengui, are Pei Xingjian willing to be blamed for this?"
"They will be very willing, as long as they say that this horse is jointly presented to the emperor by everyone."
"Your Majesty, I heard that these two people are very good-natured, and they don't seem to like flattery."
"You are wrong. At this moment, the two of them want to flatter the emperor more than anyone else."
Zhang Donghai had no choice but to agree.
Just when Yun Chu finished dealing with Wang Xiaojie's affairs, Wang Xiaojie had eaten and drank enough and came over to Yun Chu and said, "I can rely on you as an old friend."
Yun Chu smiled and said: "The matter has been resolved, but you have offended Xue Rengui and Pei Xingjian at the same time. Aren't you afraid?"
Wang Xiaojie laughed and said: "No one is as terrible as offending Your Majesty. The most these two people don't want to see me is if they give me small shoes, Your Majesty will make me unable to wear a helmet in my life."
Yun Chu said in confusion: "You hate the Western Region so much that you would rather make a mistake than leave here?"
Yunchu didn't believe a word of Wang Xiaojie's explanation that he wanted to hide the horse.
Wang Xiaojie, who was originally showing off, wiped his mouth after hearing Yun Chu's question, looked at Yun Chu and said: "I have been in the Western Region for five years. After we accepted the selection together, you all went to Liaodong.
Only I was sent to the Western Regions.
I wrote a letter in blood, begging Your Majesty to allow me to go to Liaodong, but there was no response, so I have been in the Western Regions since the sixth year of Yonghui."
Yun Chu frowned and said, "Tired of you?"
Wang Xiaojie smiled bitterly and said: "In five years, you have become the Marquis of Lantian, a fifth-rank Wannian County Magistrate, and I am still a seventh-rank junior protector of the Tianshan Hanhai Protectorate. After seeing that you need to report, I have to
It depends on whether you are in a good mood or not.
No one can see me when I stay in the Western Region. If I don't make some noise, I will die in the Western Region and eventually rot in the Western Region.
At first, I thought that as long as the territory of the Protectorate was turned into a no-man's land, the imperial court would cancel the Protectorate and allow me to return to Chang'an.
As a result, it was of no use. There was not a single person from the Western Regions in my jurisdiction. The court still refused to allow me to leave and ordered me to stay in Hanhai with two regiments and some prisoners.
There are a thousand people, you look at me, I look at you, doing nothing all day long. Several camp prostitutes in the military camp were fucked over and over again. Finally, they got to the point where they vomited at the sight of them, and the imperial court's transfer order still didn't come.
In the past five years, eleven of my men have died in battle, but thirty-eight have committed suicide.
If we don’t go back, no one will be able to go back alive.”
"So, after you got this horse, you deliberately wanted to keep it for yourself, just because you wanted to return to Chang'an as a prisoner. Don't you feel it's a pity?"
Wang Xiaojie said with a smile: "A seventh-grade official is nothing. As long as I return to Chang'an, even if I have to start from scratch, within two years, it will be easy to become a sixth- or seventh-grade official."
Junhou, you also know that Chang'an is now employing people. People with real abilities like a certain family will not worry about finding people who appreciate them.
It's worth exchanging a small mistake for a chance to return to Chang'an."
After hearing what Wang Xiaojie said, Yun Chu asked Zhang Donghai in front of Wang Xiaojie: "How can we reinstate him?"
Zhang Donghai said: "Unless you are willing to take the blame."
Yunchu looked at Wang Xiaojie, who had a dull look on his face, and said, "Okay, I'll take the blame for you, and you can just go back to the Hanhai Protectorate and continue to be your little protector."
Wang Xiaojie came to Yun Chu with open teeth and claws, but retreated under Yun Chu's cold eyes.
Sitting on the stool and covering his face, he shouted angrily: "What are you going to do? Do you have to watch me die in the Western Region?"
Yun Chu said indifferently: "There are veterans in the Protectorate who came to the Western Regions in the 19th year of Zhenguan. It's really unfair for them to go back like this."
