Chapter 351 Prince Kang

Many of the poems and common sayings from ancient times to the present have certain reasons.

For example, "the spring breeze blows and grows again", and for example, "I am a hero again after eighteen years", it means that precious things can grow back after being lost, including the first kiss.

You don’t remember, and I don’t mention it. Wiping my mouth made me a brand new first kiss.

"Select the food soon, I'm hungry!"

After relaxing, his expression returned to normal. Gu Qing posed in a majestic style and sat at the table with a golden sword.

Huangfu Sisi gave him a blank look and turned into the kitchen.

Gu Qing pointed at Han Jie and said, "You protect me without any step. If you dare to neglect your duties, you will hang you on the flagpole and show it to the public. This is a military order, I will do what I say."

Han Jie was furious and finally realized that Gu Qing's words were really good, so he nodded solemnly, pressed his sword with one hand and stood behind Gu Qing like a door god, looking around with vigilance, as serious as Erha.

After a long time, Han Jie couldn't help asking: "What happened that night when the Marquis returned to the camp, and I was lost for several days..."

Gu Qing said with a cold face: "I lost my chastity. Do you think I should be lost?"

Han Jie was stunned. Seeing Gu Qing's serious expression and unable to tell whether it was true or false, he said carefully: "What the Marquis is talking about 'chastity', not 'conformity'? A man's chastity... what does this look like?"

"It's pink and tender, it hurts when you touch it..."

Han Jie blinked quickly, but the picture was still not formed for a long time, so he had to give up and sighed empathically: "Mr. Marquis, don't be lost, I think you will lose your chastity at the end of that year..."

"Shut up, I have no interest in your virginity, stand honestly and don't talk."

Gu Qing rubbed his face hard.

Suddenly I felt very tired, and the style of the following group of personal guards seemed to be wrong...

Soon Huangfu Sisi brought a few dishes and asked while wiping her hands: "Do you want to drink?"

Gu Qing leaned back alertly: "Why do you want to drink? What do you want to do?"

Huangfu Sisi was stunned for a long time? Suddenly she burst into laughter? Her cheeks suddenly became flushed, she covered her mouth and turned around and ran away.

Not long after? Huangfu Sisi suddenly ran back? He said, "I have a friend who wants to see the Marquis, but I don't know..."

"No!" Gu Qing replied firmly.

Huangfu Sisi rolled her eyes when she was choked: "Why didn't you see me?"

"I just ate your meals in vain? Is it okay if you don't see anyone?"

Huangfu Sisi sighed, "Hasn't the Marquis been looking for members of the Jiusen of Zhaowu? My friend is a member of the Jiusen of Zhaowu. He has been in exile in the Western Regions for several years? It is only now that the Marquis can see the light of heaven. I am sure that he doesn't want to see him?"

Gu Qing suddenly stopped raising the chopsticks? “The nine surnames of Zhaowu are not necessarily all talents, most of them are mediocre people, and they are useless to see them.”

"This friend of mine was once rich enough to rival a country. When he was at the peak of business, he priced most of the goods in the Western Regions."

Gu Qing's eyelids twitched? She put down her chopsticks and said, "So, let's see you."

Huangfu Sisi hesitated for a moment and said, "Mr. Marquis, this friend is a friend who is responsible for destroying the country and destroying the family. He is inevitably against the officials of the Tang Dynasty... Do you understand? I hope the Marquis will understand and don't bother with him."

Gu Qing said lightly: "It's okay? I won't be angry when I scold me a few words. I can't be slashed with a big blow? The talents in the world are not necessarily his."

Huangfu Sisi was shocked, and a sharp edge that had never seen flashed away from him? She knew that Gu Qing was not trying to scare people on purpose? On the land of Anxi? Gu Qing had the power to seize it, and a life was nothing at all.

Turning back to the backyard of the inn, Huangfu Sisi soon brought a middle-aged man.

The man has been staying in the inn these days and has tidied up his appearance. His hair and clothes are no longer dirty and messy beggars. He washed away the dirty and trimmed his beard and put on a clean dress. He looks like a handsome middle-aged and elegant scholar, but his eyes are still indifferent and he can't see any emotional color.

Gu Qing couldn't sit upright and looked at him calmly.

He walks with a good manner and obviously has good education. His right elbow remains bent and his fingers are rubbing something unconsciously. It is obvious that he was born in a wealthy and noble family back then. In the past, he used to rub his fingers with his jade pendants. When he walks, he looks ahead and is not moved by the scenery on both sides. He has a firm will and belongs to a more stubborn type of people.

During the first meeting, Gu Qing temporarily came to a rough conclusion about him from his expression and behavior.

The middle-aged man walked to Gu Qing and stood still three steps, bowed and said, "Kang Dingshuang, a man who lost his country, will pay homage to Deputy Commander Gu, Hou Qingcheng County, Datang."

"Kang Dingshuang?" Gu Qing curled his lips and said with a smile: "It's true that he is a person with the Jiu surname of Zhaowu. There is a proverb in the Western Regions: 'The fox of a thousand-year-old surname (Hu) is surnamed Zhao Zhang; the fox of a five-hundred-year-old surname is surnamed Bai Kang'. Is the one of Kang Guo?"

Kang Dingshuang said calmly: "Yes, I am not only from Kang, but also Prince Kang, whose real name is Duji. My father, the king of Kang, Duhu, was the emperor of Kang. The Emperor of the Tang Dynasty had enthroned my father as King Qinhua in the third year of Tianbao. In the ninth year of Tianbao, Gao Xianzhi, the governor of Anxi, destroyed the Shi Kingdom. My Kang Kingdom was also implicated. All my family fled. My father died on the way. However, Gao Xianzhi delivered the good news to Chang'an, but it was called "Destroying the Nine Kingdoms Hu". Those who destroyed the country and went into exile did not know where the crime came from."

Gu Qing said lightly: "You can ask Gao Xianzhi for this question. Don't look like a questioning tone to me, I feel uncomfortable."

Kang Dingshuang took a deep breath, tried to calm down, and bowed and said, "Yes, I'm talking nonsense, please forgive me."

Gu Qing nodded and said, "I was dispatched by the Emperor of Tang Dynasty and took office as Anxi a year ago. What happened before I took office, whether it was kind or revenge, had nothing to do with me. If your mind couldn't even understand such a simple thing, I would be a waste of time when I saw you today, and you were not worthy of my meeting."

Kang Ding lowered his head and said, "I have figured it out, it has nothing to do with the Marquis. The Marquis issued a notice and issued an amnesty order, and he has great kindness to me, the nine surnames of Zhaowu, and I am grateful to you."

Gu Qing smiled and said, "No need to say anything false and clichés. In fact, you know in your heart that my amnesty order is worthy of your Zhaowu Jiusen. For you, the officials of the Tang Dynasty have just corrected their previous mistakes. How can there be a 'great kindness'? It would be good if you don't come back to ask for compensation from the Tang Dynasty. You are grateful, but in fact you don't have any gratitude in your heart, only full of unwillingness and hatred."

Kang Ding was shocked and couldn't help but look up at Gu Qing.

With a word, Kang Dingshuang never dared to underestimate this young marquis again.

He was named a county marquis by the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty at a young age and was well-known as a scholar. This young man was really worth it.

"Mr. Marquis forgive me and I will no longer deceive me. Yes, I am only full of reluctance and hatred."

Gu Qing smiled again: "The same thing, I will go to Gao Xianzhi to take revenge. I won't take the blame. If you want to do something other than revenge, you can come to me. Let's sit down and chat calmly."

Kang Dingshuang hesitated for a moment, and suddenly bowed respectfully to Gu Qing and said, "Mr. Marquis, this gift is a blessing to the Marquis on behalf of the members of the Jiu clan of Zhaowu. Thank you for the amnesty order issued by the Marquis, so that I, the members of the Jiu clan of Zhaowu, will see the light of the day from now on."

Then Kang Dingshuang stood up straight, looked straight into Gu Qing's eyes, and slowly said, "I am grateful for this gift, and there is no falsehood."

Gu Qing smiled and said, "Okay, I believe you, sit down and drink with me."

When Huangfu Sisi saw that the two of them had a great time talking, she couldn't help but look at Gu Qing happily and diligently filled the wine for them.

Gu Qing held the cup and greeted him from afar and drank it all in one gulp.

After wiping his mouth, Gu Qing suddenly looked at Kang Dingshuang with interest and said, "If Gao Xianzhi stood in front of you at this moment and there happened to be a knife in your hand, what would you do?"

Kang Dingshuang said without hesitation: "I cut him with one knife. If there is enough time, I want to cut him into pieces with one knife to sacrifice to the spirit of heaven of the innocent people of the nine clan surnames of Zhaowu."

"What after you have avenged your grudge? If you kill the Anxi Jiedushi, the emperor of the Tang Dynasty, I will naturally cancel the amnesty order. From then on, the Tang Dynasty's royal army will definitely chase and kill people from the nine surnames of Zhaowu. Even if you chase them to the ends of the world, you will destroy you. Have you ever thought about these consequences?"

"I thought about it, but I still have to do it. The irreconcilable enemy stood in front of me and didn't dare to take the knife. I will be a useless waste in this life. It is better to die than to live. So many innocent people are looking at me in the sky, waiting for me to kill my enemies. How can I let them down?" Kang Dingshuang said, his eyes were filled with tears and his body trembled slightly.

Gu Qing sighed sadly and let him vent his emotions.

After a long time, Kang Dingshuang sniffed hard and said with a forced smile: "I lost my composure for a while, and the Marquis laughed."

Gu Qing changed the topic and said, "I heard that you are very good at doing business. How can a dignified prince still do business?"

Kangding Shuangdao: "The Kang State is different from the Tang Dynasty. It has a small country and has few people. There are not so many etiquette and rules. It is said that it is a country, but it is actually a family. Our Kang State is located between the Dashi and the Western Regions of the Tang Dynasty. For thousands of years, the commercial roads in the Western Regions must pass through the territory of our Kang State, and it is bustling with profits. Therefore, almost all the people in the Zhaowu Jiu family are businessmen. Isn't it a pity to not make money that has flowed under my nose? It is normal for a prince to do business."

"I heard that when you were at your peak, was it true that you could decide the price of goods in half of the Western Regions?"

Kang Dingshuang smiled bitterly and said, "It's just a rumor. Kang's country has a small land and few people are surrounded by big countries. How can I dare to decide the price of goods? Aren't I afraid of causing the disaster of destroying the country?"

Gu Qing pondered for a while and said slowly: "Brother Kang, I don't care about how you deal with your previous hatred, but I hope I can help me for a few years before you take revenge. The main thing is to help me do business and make money. I wonder what Brother Kang wants?"

Kang Dingshuang said in embarrassment: "Mr. Marquis forgives the crime. It's not because Kang doesn't know how to politely. It's really... The nine surnames of Zhaowu can see the light of day. I'm busy summoning the nine surnames and arranging the lives of the surviving clans. I really have no time to care about other things..."

Gu Qing's eyes flashed and suddenly laughed, "How about a deal between you and me?"

“What deal?”
