At the end of the Sui Dynasty

Chapter 782 Castration Gu?

Of course, Wujiang is not the Wujiang River that Xiang Yu, the overlord of Western Chu, committed suicide. It is the largest tributary on the south bank of the upper reaches of the Yangtze River and the largest river in Guizhou Province. It originates from Wumeng Mountain.However, there was no concept of Guizhou in the Sui Dynasty, because Guizhou at this time was basically an undeveloped primitive area, with a vast land and sparsely populated areas, and it was full of mountains and wild forests. The living environment was very harsh, and the Wujiang River at this time was not It is called Wujiang, but Zangjiang, Neijiang, Fuling or Yanshui.

Yang Qingruo wore a long gown, dressed as a scribe, and stood tall on the prow of the boat, holding a bamboo flute to her lips, and the smoky sound of the flute echoed in the mountains and rivers.The witch was wearing a cloak, her hair was still disheveled, and she was sitting cross-legged in the awning. Through the gaps in her messy hair, she was fascinated by the large red maple leaves flashing by on the cliff, as if she was remembering something.

There are three counties in the Banan area, namely Mingyang County, Qian'an County and Zangcang County, and Zangcang County is very large, named after the ancient Zangcang Kingdom, which is equivalent to most of the northern part of Guizhou.During the past three months, Yang Qingruo and the witch Miao Yingxiu traveled all over the 72 Miao villages in Banan, and there were [-] caves, and called on the local chiefs and barbarians. Most of the Miao people took refuge in Gao Qi, and recognized the king of Qi, Gao Changqing, as the co-lord of the world. Moreover, these chiefs and barbarians also agreed to send representatives to Linjiang County to meet the king of Qi with Yang Qingruo and the witch.

At the beginning, Yang Qingruo and Gao Bufan made an appointment to meet at Baimiao Village in Linjiang County. At this time, she didn't know that Gao Bufan was in Bajun, and he made such a big noise that the land of the six counties of Bashu was taken over. in the bag.

At this time, Yang Qingruo finally finished playing a song, and stood on the bow of the boat to look at the scenery on both sides of the strait, feeling joyful and full of longing, it was several months in the blink of an eye, and now she will see her husband again soon The key is that she has completed the task. At this moment, she is a bit like a primary school student who has scored [-] points in the test, and can't wait to be praised by her parents.

At this time, a boat suddenly appeared on the river downstream. The boatman on the boat seemed familiar. When Yang Qingruo was thinking about who this person was, the person's eyes lit up, and he waved excitedly while shouting loudly. : "Excuse me, is the opposite Mr. Gao Xiaofan Gao?"

Yang Qingruo was slightly stunned, but she woke up immediately. Isn't this person Zhong Laoliu who carried him and Gao Lang to Sichuan?
"Hey, it's Zhong Laoliu, why did this guy appear here?" The guards Gao Zhun and Xu Shi wondered, they obviously recognized it, and waved back: "Zhong Laoliu, where are you going?"

Zhong Laoliu naturally came to look for Yang Qingruo under Gao Bufan's order, and he couldn't help being overjoyed when he got the response, he hurriedly steered the boat closer, bowed and bowed and said, "My subordinate Zhong Laoliu, I pay my respects to Qingfei."

Yang Qingruo was stunned again, her pretty face flushed slightly, and she asked in surprise, "Subordinate? Zhong Laoliu, what did you call me just now?"

Zhong Laoliu said respectfully: "This subordinate is currently serving under the command of King Qi. Tian is the captain of the Yuzhou Navy, and was ordered by King Qi to come to welcome Concubine Qing."

What Zhong Laoliu said contained so much information, Yang Qingruo was a little dazed for a while, Xu Shi and Gao Zhun looked at each other, and said strangely: "Yuzhou Navy? Zhong Laoliu, what are you talking about?"

Zhong Laoliu grinned triumphantly and said, "It seems that Concubine Qing has not been aware of what happened in the past few months, please allow me to report it in detail."

Ever since, Zhong Laoliu started from Longhuya to suppress the bandits, and told Gao Bufan's deeds in detail over the past few months, even talking about Gao Bufan's taking Bai Yunshang to Ba County.

Yang Qingruo was shocked, but also felt a little sour in her heart. The vinegar jar showed signs of being overturned, while the witch was shocked. She had to know that Gao Bufan's attempt to recruit Xiao Yu, the prefect of Bajun, was actually not optimistic, but the final result was Yes, Gao Bufan not only recruited Berkshire, but also took Meishan County, Ziyang County and other five counties into his bag, and took a large piece of fat from Tang Jun's tiger's mouth, tsk tsk, this guy is really like the legendary That's what a capable person can't do. In addition, he also found the secret treasure of the Buddhist sect and gained the support of the Buddhist sect. It seems that Gao Changqing is indeed the right man, and his decision to persuade the Miao people to surrender to Gao Qi is really very correct!

After listening to Zhong Laoliu's narration, Gao Zhun and Xu Shi couldn't help but exclaimed with joy, regretting that they didn't follow King Qi to explore the treasure, tsk tsk, His Highness King Qi is His Highness King Qi, and they got it with bare hands in just a few months In the land of six counties, there are also treasures worth millions of taels, which is exciting to think about.

"I've wronged you two by following me?" Yang Qingruo said flatly.

Only then did Gao Zhun and Xu Shi realize that Concubine Qing was covered with frost, and they couldn't help shivering. Xu Shi, who was clever, immediately apologized and said with a smile: "It's nothing, Concubine Qing misunderstood, and it's good to be able to serve under your command." Our great honor, Xiao Xu, don’t you think so?”

Xu Shi immediately nodded and agreed: "That's right, and Empress Qing has traveled all over thousands of rivers and mountains, recruited barbarians from 72 Miao villages and [-] caves, and acquired several counties in Banan. Your Highness is weak, and the two subordinates are also honored."

Yang Qingruo's expression turned pale when he heard the words, but there was still a jealous anger in his heart and he wanted to find someone to vent, so his eyes fell on Zhong Laoliu with malicious intentions. The latter suddenly felt cold and said quickly: "My subordinate Hurry back to Ba County first, and report the good news of Concubine Qing's return to His Royal Highness King Qi, so that His Highness is ready to welcome you, and leave!"

Zhong Laoliu picked up the penny resolutely, and the boat galloped downstream like an arrow. Gao Zhun and Xu Shi secretly complained, but they were in the same boat as Yang Qingruo, and they couldn't escape anywhere, so they had to be careful with their tails between their legs. He continued rowing without hesitation, not even daring to let out the air.

Fortunately, Concubine Qing didn't seem to have the intention of venting her anger on the two of them, but continued to stand on the bow of the boat and play the flute, but the sound of the flute was no longer a melodious and joyful tune, but a desolation, like swords, lights, swords and shadows intertwined. It was like thousands of troops and horses fighting, blood flowed, and river corpses piled up like mountains.

Gao Zhun and Xu Shi couldn't help being startled, and clamped their buttocks even tighter.

Finally, after Yang Qingruo finished playing, she returned to her icy appearance, turned around and returned to the cabin of the Upon, and said to the witch, "I want to learn Gu art, is there still time?"

The witch said lightly: "That depends on what Gu you want to learn."

"What Gu is the most effective at curing men?"

Gao Zhun and Xu Shi shrank their necks subconsciously, and looked at each other in horror. It's over, His Royal Highness Qi Wang, please ask for blessings.

The witch smiled lightly and said, "I have the Gu that cures men the most, but I'm afraid you won't dare to use it."

Yang Qingruo raised her eyebrows lightly: "Why don't you dare, bring it!"

The witch took out a bottle and threw it to Yang Qingruo. The latter opened it and took a look, only to find that there was only one leaf in it, covered with insect eggs the size of sesame seeds. He frowned and asked, "What kind of Gu is this?"

The witch said frankly: "Castration Gu!"

Gao Liu and Xu Shi kept pricking up their ears to eavesdrop, and when they heard the words, they felt cold down there, oh my god, just hearing this name is extremely vicious, making all male creatures in the world frightened.

Yang Qingruo's face changed slightly immediately, and his momentum became weaker. He said in a stuttering manner, "What...does this work?"

The witch said indifferently: "Naturally, the man is eunuched. A man who has been infected with this kind of poison will lose his desire like an eunuch. Naturally, he will not mess around outside. How about it, don't you dare to use it?"

Yang Qingruo said angrily: "Why don't you dare, Gao Zhun Xu Shi!"

Micro Motion and Xu Shi, who were steering the boat at the bow and stern, almost jumped into the river and fled in fright.

"How long will it take to reach Ba County?" Yang Qingruo asked coldly.

Gao Zhun and Xu Shi couldn't help but heave a sigh of relief, and immediately said flatteringly: "Go back to Empress Qing, I will be there tomorrow morning at the earliest."

Yang Qingruo hummed, and put the porcelain bottle into her bosom, a smile appeared on the corner of the witch's mouth, and she said calmly: "I almost forgot to tell Miss Yang, this castration is still a bug egg, and it will only hatch after the spring of next year. It has to be fed carefully, and it will be effective when it grows up."

Yang Qingruo frowned and said, "So troublesome? Could it be that you feed on blood again?"

"That's not necessary. The larvae of castration gus like to eat mulberry leaves. The tenderest ones can't contain dew, so they must be dried before feeding, and it is best to cut them into thin strips." The witch reminded enthusiastically.

Yang Qingruo looked at the witch thoughtfully, and said lightly: "I don't take advantage of you, you teach me how to raise Gu, how about I teach you how to play flute?"

The witch hesitated for a moment, nodded and said, "Alright."

Soon, there was intermittent flute sound in the cabin, Xu Shi and Gao Zhun secretly heaved a sigh of relief, fortunately, it was calm again, as for castration, they didn't believe that Empress Qing could do it, If you give this thing to your own man, isn't it asking for trouble? Which woman would like to be a widow by herself?

Let's say that Zhong Laoliu rushed back to Baxian City as quickly as possible, and immediately went to see Gao Bufan, and reported: "His Royal Highness, the Queen of Shu has found Concubine Qing, and she should be able to arrive at Linjiangmen Wharf tomorrow morning."

Gao Bufan couldn't help being overjoyed and said, "Really?"

Zhong Laoliu nodded, and told the story of meeting Yang Qingruo. Gao Bufan was even more pleasantly surprised after hearing it. Qingruo and the witch really succeeded. The barbarian head of the hole brought him back to meet himself.

It was getting late at this time, but Gao Bufan still summoned Xiao Yu and ordered him to arrange to meet Yang Qingruo and Miao people's representatives tomorrow.Xiao Yu was overjoyed to hear that the Hmong Mantou from Banan had come to seek refuge. Although there were not many Miao people and barbarians living in Banan, they were a serious headache. Sending someone to solve it, the emperor who obeyed his destiny really has his own blessing from heaven.

At that moment, Xiao Yu left in a hurry, preparing for tomorrow's reception. If it was just Miao people and barbarians, naturally there was no need to be too grand, just send a few low-level officials to greet him. The specifications are naturally higher, and it can be seen that King Qi dotes on this concubine Qing very much, not just attaching great importance to it.
