Fan Zhonghou frowned and was surprised for a moment. His expression gradually relaxed and became calm. He raised his hand to support his forehead and said: "We are indeed ordered to protect the Khan, but this is Lanzhou. If the Khan goes out for a walk to relax, what danger can there be?
?”
Gao Xianzhi took half a step forward, put his hand on the hilt of the knife and asked angrily: "Jiqijue Khan left for no reason. As the Khan's guards, you have no idea that you have violated the holy mandate. What crime should you do?"
This Fan Shao was a free-spirited guy. He did not fear the general of the Anxi Protectorate at all, and directly retorted: "General Gao, it is not for you to decide whether our Longwu Army is guilty or not.
The purpose is to protect the Khan, not to monitor him. You, the Anxi Protectorate, can just take care of yourselves and do not need to interfere with the safety of the Khan."
"How should you, a small seventh-grade middle officer, talk to your superiors? Has no one ever taught you the rules?" This was the voice of Fumeng Lingcha. The voice was low and oppressive, causing the Longwu officers present to fall silent.
Half a moment.
"Long Wujun is the bodyguard of the saint, and now he is the bodyguard of Jiqiu Khan. Let alone you, the envoy of Anxi, even the envoy of Longyou Dao has no right to question him!"
Fan Zhonghou wanted to carry out his tough-to-the-end style, but unconsciously his tone and tone of voice dropped.
The guards outside the door heard what seemed to be a quarrel inside, so they didn't need to watch the situation and rushed in directly with their swords raised. What is our duty as guards, isn't it to safeguard the authority of Zhongcheng?
Bai Xiaode held the two guns in his left and right hands: "Whoever dares to compete with the Prime Minister of my family, stand up! I will poke his head off!"
Several Longwu Army soldiers drew horizontal knives from their waists. Although they were not covered with armor, the momentum of the Longwu Army could not be lost: "No one has ever dared to bluff with the Longwu Army! Brothers, show him the sword."
Come out and see whose sword is faster!"
For a moment, the atmosphere in the post was extremely tense. The post commander and the post guards hid in the corner, fearful and strange at the same time. They didn't expect that the officers and soldiers could start to bite each other.
Fumeng Lingcha didn't expect that the trouble would reach this level. These imperial guards were so stubborn that they didn't even take him as the governor of the four towns. He was now a third-rank official, and it was hard to compete with a group of middle- and lower-level officers.
Lost face.
Li Siye and Ma Li heard the commotion from the other side, and followed them into the post house. They were shocked when they saw the situation. Fumeng Lingcha's temper was too... He had already become a military governor and still wanted to engage in such a fight.
matter?
"Yeah, drink!" Ma Fu began to display his gossiping spirit: "The Seventh Rank Zhonghou of the Longwu Army and the Anxi Jiedu Envoy are facing each other with swords and weapons. This is an offense against the superiors. Fu Meng Zhongcheng has the exclusive authority to bring this matter to light."
A memorial was presented to the saint, but Chen Xuanli couldn't bear it and walked away. If General Chen is punished, wouldn't you who were the instigators have to be punished twice as much if you go back?"
Fan Zhonghou, who refused to give in, felt even more guilty at this moment, but when the situation reached this point, he was unable to step down, but he asked Anxi Jiedushifu Meng Lingcha to let him step down, which was just a daydream.
Li Siye suddenly said from the side: "Long Wujun, don't worry! If something happens to Ji Qijue Khan in Lanzhou City, will General Chen Xuanli be able to save your heads?"
This was not a step, at most it was a crack in the door. Fan Shao frowned and snorted: "Put away the knives."
As soon as Long Wujun put away his sword, Gao Xianzhi winked at the Jiedushi guards, Bai Xiaode put his gun back in his back, and the soldiers also put their swords back into their sheaths.
Fan Shao bowed his hands to several members of the Anxi Army in a distant manner: "You don't have to worry about the matter of finding Khan Jiqijue. We, the Longwu Army, will handle it. If the Khan has any shortcomings, you don't have to bear the responsibility.
I, Fan Shao, will go back to apologize to General Chen and the saint."
He immediately stared at Tong Ling with his big eyes, turned around and shouted to the Longwu soldiers behind him: "What are you waiting for? Go find it quickly!"
The soldiers of the Longwu Army hurriedly walked out of the post gate from both sides with their heads lowered, flew to the horse-tethering racks on both sides of the road, got on their horses, and whipped the horses violently: "Drive!"
Fan Shao turned around and walked out of the back hall door of the hotel, came to the backyard, turned around and looked around, saw two soldiers on duty at the back door, stepped forward and asked with a sullen face: "Did Khan Jue go out through the back door just now?
"
The two soldiers looked at each other in fear, not daring to hide anything, and lowered their heads at the same time: "Yes!"
"Why don't you come and tell me!"
"We... thought this matter should not cause alarm..."
Fan Zhonghou swung the scabbard of his horizontal sword, aimed it at the two men's cheeks and slapped them hard twice, until their molars flew out. The soldiers hurriedly covered their bloody mouths with swollen faces and lowered their heads to admit their mistake.
"Your Majesty, please forgive me. We are willing to accept the punishment."
…
Li Siye walked out of the door of the post house, walked around Shi Xin's ink cart, turned around and looked at Gao Xianzhi and her husband Meng Ling and said, "I know where this Shi Xin has gone."
"Where have you gone?"
He turned around and pointed at the ink cart: "Two chicken coops were missing. This guy got itchy and went to the market in Lanzhou City to fight cocks."
Fumeng Lingcha said with a dark face: "Since Long Wujun has taken care of everything, we don't need to go looking for it. We can just tell Long Wujun the exact news."
"Here," Li Siye crossed his hands and walked into the post house.
It took less than half an hour for Shi Xin to be brought back by Long Wujun. He and Chuulu brought two chicken coops and squatted on the ground of the room in the post house, lowering their heads like students who had made mistakes.
Silent.
Now not only Fu Meng Lingcha was angry with Shi Xin, but even Fan Zhonghou was so angry that his mouth was filled with smoke. If it weren't for this guy, would they be able to form a relationship with Anxi Jiedushi? But they really didn't dare to do anything to him.
After all, he was the Jiqujue Khan, the Protector of Mengchi, and the Khan of the Ten Turkic surnames who was personally conferred by the saint. Although the Tang court did not define the rank of the Khan, in terms of specifications, he was treated with courtesy according to the standards of the princes and princes.
, even if Shi Xin is a fool, they still have to offer sacrifices according to etiquette.
Fumeng Lingcha coughed, crossed his hands in embarrassment and said, "Khan Jue, it's better to have a good rest and set off tomorrow morning."
Originally, I wanted to teach him some strategies today and teach him how to use the sudden cavalry to fight against the black and yellow surnames to cultivate his own power west of the Suiye River, but now that I see his virtue, I am not in the mood to tell him that.
Fumeng led Gao Xianzhi, Li Siye and Ma Phosphorus back to the inn. He walked around on the floor twice with his hands behind his back and said: "Perhaps I should advise the saint and reevaluate the candidates for the ten surnamed khans. Such people should stay in the inn."
In Talas City, not only will it be of no help, it will also have adverse consequences."
Gao Xianzhi quickly crossed his hands and persuaded: "Zhongcheng, please think about it. Now the court can't find a more suitable person than Shi Xin to be the Khan of the Ten Surnames. No matter whether they are given the surname Huang or the black surname of Tuqi, it will inflate their ambitions and lead a single family."
Big, no second Sulu can appear in the north and south of the Tianshan Mountains. They were granted to the remaining Zuo Nu. Not only did they not have the strength to survive, but they also had no such thing as prestige. At least Shi Xin... and the surname Ashina
exist."
Fumeng Lingcha nodded silently. It was true that multiple-choice questions were difficult to answer.
He turned his attention to Li Siye, who was standing aside and thinking intently, and asked: "Siye, what do you have in mind?"
Li Siye held his chin and muttered: "I'm thinking that Shi Xin's behavior was not caused by himself, but Chang'an turned him into this state."
"What are these words?" Gao Xianzhi laughed and retorted: "You want to say that the prosperous and comfortable life in Chang'an took away his ambition? How can this kind of fault be placed on the city of Chang'an? According to you, living
Everyone in the city of Chang'an is no longer striving for advancement like him, and that kid Chuulu has lived with him in Chang'an for more than ten years, so why hasn't he turned into a cockfighting boy?"
Fumeng Lingcha was not interested in participating in this kind of debate. He thought Li Siye could think of a solution this time, but Li Siye's head seemed to be out of order. That's right. If you think of a solution to everything, wouldn't it look like we are all crazy?
Are you eating dry food?
