The First Young Master of the Tang Dynasty

Chapter 302

After leaving the Qianjin Medical Center, Xuan Shijing found a teahouse by the Xuanwu Lake. He said he wanted to drink tea, but in fact he just wanted to rest here and have some snacks. This little day has been so nourishing.

"Shi Hu, these two days I've been either at the Zhuangzi or in the mansion, is there anything new in Chang'an City?" Xuan Shijing asked.

"What else can you do?" Shi Hu, who was sitting on the other side of the table, said, "It's nothing more than the big exam next spring. Now Chang'an City has students from various states staying in major restaurants and inns. They are all literati. Ascot, I'm a rough guy, but I can't go with them."

Hearing this, Xuan Shijing smiled: "It's true, if you are asked to deal with them, it is better to let you go to the mountain to fight with Xiong Xiazi. What about other news?"

"Hou Junji, chief officer of the Jiaohe Road march, led the army to attack Gaochang King Qu Wentai. Now that the army has arrived in Liuzhou, it is estimated that Gaochang Kingdom is not far away from being destroyed." Shi Hu said.

"I didn't expect you to care about these important national affairs." Xuan Shijing teased.

"I heard about this in Chang'an City. If you walk in the street or sit in a teahouse, you can hear all kinds of news. Most of them are from some caravans who returned to Chang'an. I just heard the news, it’s not sure if it’s true or not.” Shi Hu said: “However, Hou Junji’s fight against Gaochang, it sounds like our Datang’s chances of winning are really high, it’s a pity. , If I were in the army, no matter what, I would be able to kill a hundred people or something like that."

"Hundreds of people beheaded? The battlefield is extremely dangerous, and you can't beat it through mere bravery." Xuan Shijing smiled and said: "No matter how powerful you are, can you compare to Xiang Yu, the overlord of Chu? Or can you compare to Wen Hou Lu Bu ?”

"Master Hou, it's clear how much a small person can be capable of. A small person is not suitable to be a general, but it is still possible to be an ordinary brave soldier who charges into the battle." Shi Hu laughed.

"Oh? Shihu, are you in the Italian army?" Xuan Shiqing asked.

Hearing this, Shi Hu scratched his head, and said with a smile, "It's okay, but now it's pretty good to be by Lord Hou's side."

"Don't play sloppy with me. If you like it, you like it. If you don't like it, you don't like it. An imposing man, he doesn't even dare to say what he likes. If he goes out in the future, don't say he's from my Dongshan Marquis Mansion. It's embarrassing." Xuan Shijing Said pretending to be contemptuous.

"Then since you said that, Lord Hou, then I will tell the truth. I know that I am simple-minded. The water in Chang'an City is very deep. It is not suitable for a rough man like me. Perhaps the Northwest battlefield is what Shihu likes. land!" Shi Hu said.

"Come on, I got it. In the spring of next year, I'll ask brother Chu Mo. If you have a chance, you can follow him. Think of it as helping me protect brother Chu Mo on the battlefield." Xuan Shijing said.

"Thank you for the promotion, Master Hou!" Hearing what Xuan Shijing said, Shi Hu quickly got up and cupped his fists to thank him.

"Why are you being polite, you are all rare talents from Zhuangzi, you should have a wider world, Gao Jun stays in Chang'an, stays with me, it's because of Long'er, and you are different." Xuan Shijing said with a smile .

"Brother Xuan!"

Xuan Shijing was talking to Shihu, but he heard someone calling him in the teahouse.

"Gu Feng?" Xuan Shijing looked back, but saw an acquaintance, it was Gu Feng, the caravan guard who he asked him to help deliver the message on the way back from Longxi.

Gu Feng walked over with his own tea bowl, and asked with a smile: "Brother Xuan, don't you mind sitting here?"

"You and I have met once, so there is no need to be cautious." Xuan Shijing replied with a smile: "Please sit down."

Gu Feng sat down opposite Xuan Shijing, looked at Shi Hu sitting next to Xuan Shijing: "Who is this?"

"This is my guard, Shi Hu." Xuan Shijing introduced: "Shi Hu, this is when I came back from Longxi, I met on the road, Gu Feng, Brother Gu."

Shi Hu cupped his hands towards Gu Feng: "Young Master Gu."

When Gu Feng heard Shi Hu addressing himself, he waved his hands again and again: "I'm just a mere caravan guard, I don't dare to be called a son, I don't dare to be called a son."

"Brother Gu came to Chang'an this time, but to visit Mr. Gu Yuancheng?" Xuan Shijing asked.

Gu Feng nodded and said: "Exactly, next spring, my younger brother will take the big exam, so I resigned as the leader of the caravan and made a special trip back to Chang'an to visit my younger brother. Lay down and go visit your brother."

"Alright, the northwest is not peaceful recently. Brother Gu is a guard in the caravan, and it is really dangerous. If my brother goes to high school next year, Brother Gu will not have to go to the bitter cold place in the northwest to suffer." Xuan Shijing Said.

"A vulgar person like me wants to go to the Northwest to join the army, so as to make a career for himself, but it's just that he has no connections." Gu Feng said.

Hearing this, Xuan Shijing glanced at Shi Hu, Shi Hu also seemed to sense something, and Xuan Shijing wanted to take care of each other, neither of them spoke.

This Gu Feng should know his identity, Xuan Shijing thought to himself, Shi Hu's voice just now was not low
Xuan Shijing chuckled: "It's already the end of the year. Brother Gu wants to join the army. There is no need to worry. Now that the world is at peace in the Tang Dynasty, even if you join the army, you may not have the opportunity to go out and make contributions. It's better to stay. In Chang'an, isn't Young Master Gu Yuancheng still in Chang'an? As an older brother, Brother Gu has to wait until Young Master Gu Yuancheng gets married or Brother Gu himself should start a family too."

When Gu Feng heard this, he said with a smile: "Which girl would like me from such a family background? And whose parents would marry their daughter to a person who wanders around and has no fixed place to live."

"So, what Brother Gu is thinking about now is not how to go to the battlefield, but to start a family. As the saying goes, there are three ways to be unfilial, and the greatest thing is to have no descendants. Brother Gu has worked so hard for his younger brother for so many years, so he should also think about it." It's up to me." Xuan Shijing said.

What Xuan Shijing didn't mention to Gu Feng was that the Gu Yuancheng he saw didn't seem to be as simple as it appeared on the surface, but Gu Feng had spent most of his life on his only younger brother, and Xuan Shijing couldn't bear to go Breaking through his longing, maybe Gu Feng staying in Chang'an is also a kind of supervision for Gu Yuancheng.

Seeing Gu Yuancheng for the first time, after getting in touch with him, Xuan Shijing felt that Gu Yuancheng was a Fangzheng student, but later he was in the backyard of the Imperial College with Gu Yuancheng, and there was nothing wrong with his conversation, but Xuan Shijing always felt that there was something wrong with him. The slightest bit of something wrong is Xuan Shijing's intuition, but I don't know if this intuition is credible.

Gu Feng thought about it carefully, and felt that what Xuan Shijing said was quite reasonable, he nodded, and said: "Brother Xuan is right, the most important thing about eyeliner is the big exam of my younger brother next year. After the big exam of my younger brother, a certain It’s not too late to think about your own affairs.”
