Chapter 162 Hot Potatoes

Qi Maosheng responded, and turned his head when he didn't hear the following, and seeing Gu Xiyan looking at the book in his hand with a face full of disappointment, he smiled and rubbed her hair, and said apologetically: "I was thinking about it just now. I didn't hear the matter clearly. What's the matter, is there something wrong with Fang Shaoqin?"

Gu Xiyan shook her head, her interest was greatly reduced, and she briefly said the words again.

Qi Maosheng just smiled and nodded.

Gu Xiyan murmured: "It's not funny at all, such a coincidence, you don't show any expression after hearing it."

Qi Maosheng laughed: "As soon as you said it last night, I asked someone to check it this morning..."

Gu Xiyan thought of him ignoring her just now, so she hugged his waist and acted like a baby: "Well, anyway, you shouldn't have such an expression, such an attitude..."

Qi Maosheng couldn't help laughing, and hugged Xiyan: "Okay, okay, okay, it won't be like this again. Come, watch the spy with me..." As he spoke, he put Gu Xiyan in his arms with a little effort. into his arms.

The two were lying on their sides with their chests against their backs, and Qi Maosheng habitually put his hand into Gu Xiyan's skirt, "Hey, this is from Gaochang."

Gu Xiyan moved her body in Qi Maosheng's arms, and found a more comfortable position for herself. She tried her best to ignore the hand on her chest, and turned her attention to the espionage: "I always listen to you talking about Gao Chang. Gaochang, what kind of place is Gaochang?"

In the fields he knew well, Qi Maosheng became a completely different person.With deep eyes and a serious expression, he began to draw figures in the air: "Our two families are separated by the Yinghe River and the Joint Mountain. Our land is like a square raft, but they are like narrow paths. , meandering down, separated from Jindi by a sea of ​​bottles, so the climate there is hot and humid in summer, cool and dry in winter, even at the lowest temperature, it is just like autumn here. Gaochang is a highland, almost There is no fertile land. But because of the Ying River, the Pinghai Sea on the right, and the distant sea on the left, the fishing and navigation industries are very developed, which can be compared with Nanhai County in Meixizhao.”

Speaking of this, Qi Maosheng sighed and said: "It's really strange to say that the upper reaches of the Yinghe River are in our Yandi, and the lower reaches are in Gaochang. Beads, the east mountain of the joint mountain is rich in ginseng fruit..."

Gu Xiyan couldn't help laughing: "Maosheng, it's not because of this that you went to fight Gaochang!"

This is of course a joke, and Qi Maosheng didn't take it seriously, and said with a smile: "The main reason is that Gaochang is like a cash cow. After so many years, do you know why the five of us dare not move?"

Gu Xiyan knew that the "Five Families" he was talking about were the five clans that had been made dukes of the state, and said, "Of course it's because of the firecrackers! The Shen family and Xizhao are confronting each other, and once this balanced situation is broken , the world will be in chaos..."

Qi Maosheng gave a "hmm" and said, "There is another reason that none of us have the financial resources..."

Gu Xiyan nodded: "If you have Gaochang, you don't have to worry about the military salary!"

Qi Maosheng couldn't help but kissed Gu Xiyan's cheek: "You're so smart!"

"Of course!" Gu Xiyan said triumphantly, "Who am I? I am Qi Maosheng's wife..."

Qi Maosheng laughed out loud again, lost the information, held Gu Xiyan's face in his hands and kissed him hard.

"Hmm, um, um..." Gu Xiyan pushed him, "You kissed my face so badly!"

"Oh!" Qi Maosheng's brows and eyes were full of joy, "It's the first time I've heard that kissing the face can make the face ugly!"

"Of course," Gu Xiyan said confidently when she saw that he had let go of herself, "You kissed me so much that my face was full of saliva, so I have to wash my face. If I wash my face too much, the oil on my face will be washed less If there is less oil, there will be no luster, and naturally it will not be beautiful..." She was full of flattery, just to make Qi Maosheng happy.

Qi Maosheng couldn't help but burst out laughing again.

Seeing Qi Maosheng's bright face, Gu Xiyan was also in a happy mood, and she climbed onto Qi Maosheng's neck with a smile.

Qi Maosheng hugged her tightly behind his back.

What a leprechaun!

I just don't know how to hurt her!

Qi Maosheng was so happy that his heart softened a little.

Gu Xiyan was hugged by Qi Maosheng, she leaned over and saw the spy information he had left aside, she picked it up casually: "What's on it?"

Qi Maosheng looked at her hand, and said with a smile, "Is it the movement of Gaochang people in the past few months?"

Gu Xiyan lay in Qi Maosheng's arms and went to the Kang table to watch the spy.

Qi Maosheng looked at Gu Xiyanyu's earnest look on his brows, and couldn't help tightening his arms a little more.

Xi Yan, I am really interested... Never afraid of him, never perfunctory, looks fragile like delicate fine porcelain, but actually it is raw jade, the more we get along, the more I can feel the secret hidden in the unknown corner The lustrous brilliance shines out bit by bit, illuminating his heart...Will it one day turn into a jewel, emitting a bright light...

He closed his eyes and buried his face in Gu Xiyan's hair.

I really hope that time can stop at this moment and have this unknown beauty forever...

Gu Xiyan looked at the spy information seriously, and the more she looked at it, the more surprised she became, and she couldn't help but said: "Maosheng, no way, you have occupied Gaochang, not only no one secretly resisted you, but some rich and famous people in Gaochang are still in a village called Ou Lin. Local gatherings, discussing sending people to send money and beautiful women to negotiate peace with you, asking Yandi to protect them so that they can do business in Jiangnan..."

Qi Maosheng restrained his emotions, and said with a smile: "In the past few decades, Gaochang relied on superb shipbuilding skills and natural ports to carry out long-distance trade and made a lot of money. When fighting Gaochang, they spent money to hire people from Jindi and Liangdi to help them fight, and they even sprinkled gold barley before the battle to encourage those soldiers to charge..."

Gu Xiyan opened her mouth wide: "This, like this, I'm afraid it will only make Yandi's people jealous, let's fight harder!"

The corners of Qi Maosheng's mouth curved slightly: "That's right, because of this, Qi Xiao insisted on being the first person to rush into the Gaochang Palace, and he was injured because of it!"

Gu Xiyan's expression showed some hesitation: "Isn't his wife from Gaochang? He's like this, okay..."

Qi Maosheng was stunned, and said: "There should be nothing wrong with it? Anyway, this is all about men... She marries a chicken and follows a chicken... Something happened to our Qi family, and she can't get rid of it either... ..."

There was a gloomy look in Gu Xiyan's eyes.

Qi Xiao's attitude is the normal attitude of men towards women in this world!
Duanniang always said in front of her how good Qi Maosheng treated her, but she never took it seriously... Let's think about it from a different perspective, from Qi Maosheng's standpoint, he is really good to herself ...,
Qi Maosheng saw that she was a little unhappy, and thought that she thought of her position because of this.He hesitated for a while, and said: "Xiyan, maybe one day, I will confront Xizhao...I hope you can understand...you are the Qi Gu family, you are from the Qi family first, and then She's the girl from the Gu family..."

"Well, I know." Gu Xiyan nodded solemnly to Qi Maosheng, "Don't worry, I'm not one of those ignorant little girls." As she spoke, she touched the white hair on his temples lovingly, "Without you , how can we have a stable life..."

Qi Maosheng's eyes were bright, and he put Gu Xiyan's hand on his chest, the corners of his mouth twitched slightly, but he couldn't say a word.

Xiyan understands him... It's like a bone in his body, protecting his heart from harm!
Gu Xiyan was a little ashamed under those gazes, her face was blushing, and she couldn't help but raise her voice guiltily: "You, how long will you stay in Gaochang this time?"

Qi Maosheng looked at Gu Xiyan and smiled clearly.

Xiyan, there are times when she doesn't dare... She is willing to do anything for herself, but she can't say it out loud. She also has her own reserved way!

Qi Maosheng cooperated with her and changed the topic: "Well, I may stay in Gaochang for the whole summer, and I will try to come back in autumn to host the celebration of the Qiuxi Festival."

Both of them thought of parting, Gu Xiyan couldn't help but sighed sadly: "Will you be stationed in Gaochang in the future?"

"No," Qi Maosheng said with a smile, "but I always go there two or three times a year."

Gu Xiyan hesitated and said, "You're not there, what about Gaochang? What, let it grow naturally, there will always be weeds..."

Qi Maosheng understood what she meant, and said with a smile: "I was thinking about this just now, and it would be better to send a trustworthy and capable person to stay in Gaochang. They will garrison Jindi in the name of nest bandits. At that time, Yandi will inevitably be affected. It is not impossible that the court may even take this opportunity to attack Yandi. At that time, let Yuzhi take charge of the daily life of Yandi However, Qi Xiao has to hand over the military fodder, food and salary, Gong Tao has to stay with me in Yongzhou, Lin Yongzhao cannot support himself, and Yuan Zehuan has to be transferred back...Gao Chang, hey, has become a hot potato...Jiang Qingfeng He's a talent, but I'm going to let him continue to act like a bandit. This year, the imperial court successively used troops in Jindi and Wujuncheng, and the horses were severely damaged. Now the horses on the black market are sold for 35 taels of silver each... When the time comes Yandi's horses are sold on the black market, which can make up for the military pay... It must be basically settled before summer... Otherwise, it will be troublesome if it is delayed until autumn..."

Maosheng, the psychological pressure is also quite big!

I have a heart that can't be finished every day, but I am still willing to separate my mind to coax myself...

Gu Xiyan was so distressed that she leaned over to kiss the white hair on his temples.

It would be nice to be able to withdraw from these specific affairs.

Her mind raced quickly.

As the saying goes, three cobblers are worth one Zhuge Liang... Is there any way to help Qi Maosheng...
