When Shi Zucai was still alive, the business scope of Yinmen Zhuohong he ran was not limited to the Western Regions of the Tang Dynasty, but also had business dealings with Turks, Tubo, Tuyuhun, Dabolu and even Dashi.
Such a huge assassin group spread across dozens of countries and thousands of miles of land, but most of them were hanged in Yanqi.
This news was like thunder, alarming the entire Western Region.
Although it was revealed that Shi Zucai and others were killed by the Anxi Protectorate, Zhou Jun's name gradually spread among the world.
On the other hand, Huayue led the Yinmen people to find the secret treasures from Kuchabai Mountain. The gold and silver utensils alone filled nine carts, and there were countless other items such as luminous pearls, gems, silks and other items.
.
After the first trip of Longbu Wuwei Transport was completed, they set off from Yanqi again and loaded the empty truck for the second trip.
Master Kujing, who is responsible for counting and counting the supplies, initially estimates that the property in the red treasure house can be converted into Tongbao, which is probably more than one million. If the transfer speed is accelerated, even if it is rushed, it will be completed before the end of the year.
In the next few days, Zhou Jun originally wanted to find Fei Weng, Mu Sheikh and others to discuss the training of the Zhanfeng Camp and the internal strife in Dashi.
However, the Yinmen General Altar was to be moved from Qiuci to Yanqi, and these people were so busy that they could not spare any time, so Zhou Jun could only postpone the negotiations.
After some days of rest, Zhou Jun's body has recovered as before.
He deeply felt the importance of personal ability, so he picked up the body-training method taught to him by Gongsun, and exercised diligently every day without daring to relax.
On this day, Zhou Jun, who had finished his training, accompanied Hua Yue to the backyard of Fei's house to check on the construction progress of the Hidden Gate Treasure House.
Basically every wealthy family in the Western Regions would dig a cellar in their house.
Due to the particularity of geographical location and climate environment, the cellars of houses in the Western Regions have, first, a basically constant temperature of around 10 degrees; second, the humidity is around 20%, which is relatively dry; and third, the oxygen content is 5.8%, which is only
A quarter of the time outdoors, oxidation is very slow.
Therefore, cellars in the Western Region are very suitable for storing food and supplies.
Although the cellar in Fei's house was three times the size of an ordinary house, it was still too small to store so many belongings, so the construction of a treasure house was put on the agenda.
Zhou Jun and Huayue arrived at the door of the cellar and saw Long Qi, who was in charge of guarding the cellar door. He was holding a piece of wooden stick with his broken arm and holding a knife in the other hand, whittling absentmindedly without noticing the former.
near.
Huayue wanted to speak out, but Zhou Jun stopped her.
When Zhou Jun got closer, Long Qi finally noticed.
Putting down the utensils in his hands, Long Qi knelt down on one knee and shouted: "I have seen the master's house."
Zhou Jun gestured to Hua Yue, telling the latter to go down and check the cellar.
Huayue nodded and walked underground along the stone steps, leaving only Zhou Jun and Long Qi alone.
Zhou Jun: "Get up and talk."
Long Qi did not get up, but lowered his head and said, "I made a big mistake."
Zhou Jun: "You mean Hanguli?"
Long Qi: "A few years ago, when the tribe was poor, I worked for the Yinmen, and Hanguli was my introducer. I have known her for several years, and I thought I knew her well, but I didn't know what she was like.
"
Zhou Jun: "Everyone has his own story, and it's normal for others not to know."
Long Qi raised his head, his face full of vicissitudes of life, in addition to regret and resentment, there was also a hint of unnoticeable reminiscence...
Zhou Jun's heart moved: "Do you have any history with Hanguli?"
Long Qi said with a sigh: "I don't know what my relationship with her is. Maybe... I can only be regarded as a passerby."
Zhou Jun thought for a while and asked: "Before we came to Yanqi, did Hanguli take the initiative to contact you?" Long Qi nodded lightly: "A few months before the master was assassinated in Dunhuang, Hanguli once
He wrote and asked me to have a drink and reminisce in Shazhou."
Zhou Jun was helpless and thought to himself that at that time, he probably already had a red reward on his body. It was also from that time that Ayimu and Hanguli started to plan the internal strife in the hidden gate and design the kidnapping.
Zhou Jun glanced at Long Qi again.
The man in front of me from the Dragon Division has excellent martial arts skills, but he is obsessed with infatuation.
Zhou Jun stared at Long Qi's broken arm and asked, "I haven't asked you yet, what's wrong with your arm?"
Mentioning the broken arm, Long Qi had a sad look on his face: "Back then, when I took on my first job as a red-catcher, due to my lack of experience, I accidentally fell into the trap of a thief. One of my arms was cut off, and I escaped with serious injuries.
"
Zhou Jun: "Someone rescued you?"
The sad look on Long Qi's face became even worse.
Zhou Jun was stunned and asked tentatively: "Is it possible that the person who saved you is Hanguli?"
Long Qi nodded: "When I woke up in the desert, my broken arm was bandaged with medicine, and I was lying in a carriage, and the person who saved me was none other than Hanguli."
Zhou Jun let out a long breath. The story between these two people was truly a bad relationship.
Zhou Jun was silent for a moment and said to the kneeling Long Qi: "Hanguli is lurking among us. Taking advantage of this hidden incident, he poisoned the guards and put me in danger. If you could have put me in danger back then.
Her words and deeds told me the truth, and these disasters could have been avoided. But you chose to conceal it because of your personal affairs. This is a serious dereliction of duty."
Long Qi knelt on his knees instead, buried his head on his chest, and said sadly: "The master's family has found a way for the Long tribe to survive, and he is the benefactor of the clan. Long Qi almost caused a catastrophe because of his personal abandonment of public affairs.
Even if it means being executed, I am willing to do so."
Zhou Jun lowered his head, looked at Long Qi and said, "I don't intend to kill you, but I want to ask you something, and you must answer truthfully."
Long Qi: "Please ask the master a question."
Zhou Jun asked word by word: "If Han Guli appears again, can you kill her?"
Long Qi's body trembled and he was silent for a moment.
It was this moment of silence that made Zhou Jun understand something.
Long Qi is an excellent subordinate, but he is definitely not a competent guard.
Listening to the difficult answer that Long Qi spit out from his mouth, Zhou Jun waved his hand and said: "I recommend you to the Yinmen and become the leader of the hall. Firstly, it is to introduce the forces of the Dragon Division into the Yinmen and balance the power;
Secondly, it is to allow you to develop your special skills and put your tracking, tracing, disguise, tracing and other skills into practical use. As for the Hanguli incident, you no longer need to blame yourself, just do the things I have assigned you.
, just make up for it."
When Long Qi heard this, he understood something in his heart, lowered his head lower and responded.
At this moment, Hua Yue, who had inspected the cellar, also walked out of the steps. He saw Long Qi kneeling on the ground and walked aside calmly.
Zhou Jun came to Hua Yue's side and said softly: "Let's go."
When the two of them walked away, Hua Yue asked, and Zhou Jun repeated the conversation with Long Qi.
Hua Yue frowned and said, "Will Long Qi show favoritism in the future because of Han Guli?"
Zhou Jun: "On one side he is a lover and on the other side he is a clansman. Although Long Qi is hesitant, he can make the right choice. However, he is no longer suitable to be a guard in the inner courtyard. External ministry may be more suitable for him."
Hua Yue: "How about transferring Long Qi back to Shazhou?"
Zhou Jun said with a smile: "This is tantamount to killing one's heart and is inappropriate... People are not saints, and everyone has their own ties. People who care about friendship are easier to guess their thoughts and gain insights than those who are hard-hearted.
Think about it. When arranging them, they should not be placed in positions that emphasize discipline and acceptance. External work will be more suitable."
Huayue asked in confusion: "How do you know this?"
Zhou Jun: "There is a book called "Police Psychology"... I won't talk about it anymore, I'm going too far..."
