In late August, the temperature in Dunhuang was about 178 degrees. In the golden autumn season of Middle-earth, it resembles late autumn. The weather is getting clearer.

The sun fell on the golden silk nanmu chairs in the exquisite hall, and the long shadow dragged the floor. Mu Yan and Miao Qi sat separately.

Mu Yan looked at Miao Qi with blazing eyes.

He is not a native of Tuyuhun, but a native of the Yue clan. He wasn't interested in Guli. This fat man is very arrogant in Dunhuang City. Moreover, the merchant smells of copper. Readers disdain to be in company. However, in this matter, he had to speak for Guli.

As soon as Jia Huan, the left senator, arrived in Dunhuang, and at his reception banquet, he showed a tough attitude towards the Hu people. Now, it is even more blatant revenge. Such a dangerous person made him very insecure. He hoped that Vice General Miao would be able to stop Jia Huan.

Miao Qi is in his forties, with a handsome appearance, and his facial features are like carved out of a knife. There is a kind of sharp handsomeness. But his style of dealing with people is very gentle. At this time, his mind was still weighing.

In fact, last night, his favorite concubine was crying in her bed, begging him to take charge of Guli. Guli is the nobleman of Tuyuhun, and his favorite concubine is the Tuyuhun noblewoman who is matched by Guli, who speaks Chinese since she was a child, knows Chinese characters, and follows Chinese customs.

However, he fears that this is a trap.

In the current situation, everyone can see that Jia Huan is deliberately venting his anger and helping the Guo family get ahead. However, the world-famous Jia Tanhua, the well-known prodigy of the dynasty, and the creator of a series of records of the youngest age in officialdom, are they really so superficial?

Mu Yan seemed to see Miao Qi's hesitation, and then persuaded: "Master Miao, Guli is a Tuyuhun nobleman, if you sit idly by." What does the famous king of Tuyuhun think? What do the tribes living in Dunhuang think? Next time, can Master Miao summon Hu Qi again? ”

Miao Qi thought for a moment and nodded lightly, "Hmm." "Whatever Jia Huan's intentions are, it will indeed hit his prestige. He had to react.

Mu Yan breathed a sigh of relief in his heart and smiled slightly. With Vice General Miao's move, he will definitely be able to suppress Jia Huan, who is acting "unscrupulously".

This gave him a sense of security.

…

…

After Mu Yan left, Miao Qi paced in the hall with his hands behind his back. The air is cold. The residual tea on the table and chair has cooled.

Although he promised Mu Yan to take care of Jia Huan and rescue Guli. But this matter is not easy to do. He and Jia Huan, the left senator of the Western Regions, are not subordinate to each other. And Jia Huan, as the transfer envoy of the Western Expeditionary Army, has not yet visited his mansion.

To put it bluntly, when he speaks, Jia Huan may not listen.

So, how should he put pressure on Jia Huan and show his attitude? He didn't want to have a direct conflict with Jia Huan from the beginning, and there was no room for maneuver. He can be a deputy general, he can have a good relationship with the Hu people, and the level of interpersonal communication is not low.

Miao Qi thought for a moment and shouted, "Someone." ”

An old man in his fifties came in from outside the door, knelt down and said, "Master..."

Miao Qi instructed: "Uncle Wang, send someone to take my post and ask Yang Guerrilla to come to my house tonight to eat and drink." ”

His prestige in the army was brought to him by the battles to hold the front line of Dunhuang and Guazhou. The generals supported him.

…

…

On the morning of the 25th, in the camp tent of Yang Ji, a guerrilla of the Shenwei Battalion in the military camp north of Dunhuang City, there were some melons, fruits, and tea on a round table.

Yang Ji entertained Shen Qian and said with a smile: "Yu Qiao, come, drink tea." I came to you today because I want to understand something to you. "There were only two people in the spacious tent. Yang Guerrilla put on a posture of a long talk.

Shen Qian was 20 years old and wore a moon-white robe. He has a slender figure and a handsome appearance. Although he is young, he can do everything on the scene. At this time, he hurriedly smiled and said, "Uncle Yang, you say, nephew listen." ”

Yang Ji raised his head and smiled, patted Shen Qian's shoulder, and said, "What do you think about Senator Jia's transfer of troops to grasp the bones?" ”

That night, Jia Huan did not show up at all. It was his classmate, friend, and assistant Pang Ze who showed up. and Guo Guan, the third master of the Guo family. However, this account is recorded on Jia Huan's head by the powerful figures in Dunhuang City.

It's time to put it on the show!

Shen Qian was stunned for a moment, pondered for a while, and said, "Uncle Yang, this matter is not taken care of." The Guo family cooperated with Jia Ziyu, but Guli went to blackmail. Jia Ziyu's temper, how can he not care? ”

Yang Ji stared at Shen Qian, and said slowly: "Yu Qiao, you have your position and angle on this matter. However, Senator Jia arrested people in the governor's palace and tortured them in this way, and it was General Miao's face that fell on him. The 50,000 soldiers inside and outside Dunhuang City will not allow a civil official to ride on the head of the main general so wantonly! ”

Shen Qian was obviously stunned. An extremely uncomfortable feeling rises in my heart! Obviously, some people have characterized this incident as involving the more sensitive civil and military disputes. But shouldn't the bones be punished? Absolutely!

After the uncomfortable emotions floated in his heart, Shen Qian immediately felt a great pressure, and suddenly pressed on his shoulders!

50,000 soldiers!

This is no joke. provoked a mutiny. Investigate it, Ziyu may not be able to stay in the Western Regions!

Shen Qian was silent for a while, and said bitterly: "Uncle Yang, I understand what you mean." I will explain the situation to Jia Ziyu. ”

Yang Ji smiled and nodded.

…

…

In Dunhuang City, Deputy General Miao's attitude towards Jia Huan's capture of Guli was released through different channels: this was to lose his face and kill the mighty stick.

Many generals and colonels in the army were dissatisfied with this. Some people even threatened to hit Jia Huan's black gun. Some celebrities in the city spoke out on different occasions, thinking that Jia Huan slandered Guli, was really despicable, disregarded the law of the country, and was bold.

At the gate of the post station where Jia Huan lived, from time to time some Tuyuhun people rode horses to scold. Various dialect slang greetings to Jia Huan's ancestors for eighteen generations and his daughters. named and named, how to Xue Baochai, how to Lin Daiyu, and how to make the language filthy. Then, laughing wildly, he left.

Jia Huan did not leave the post house for several days and went to the governor's palace to work. was blocked by the Hu people in the post station.

And this extremely humiliating scene is displayed in front of the civil service system of the entire Western Regions. Most of the civil servants who were evacuated lived in the post stations in the eastern part of the city. Rumors abruptly arose. For example, Jia Huan's little servant Qian Huai heard the official concubine on the wall mocking the two housewives and the third master in private. He will gnaw his angry teeth to pieces. But there is nothing to be done.

In the city, the heavy pressure, the general trend, and the atmosphere are like heavy water, pouring in from all directions, and it is suffocating!

On the 26th, Hu Chi, who arrived in Dunhuang, immediately felt that the situation in the city was very wrong. After going to the Governor's Mansion to meet Cheng You, he went back to the house to wash, and in the evening, he went to the post station to see Jia Huan. King Hu Qian had already sent people to buy a large mansion in the street behind the governor's palace. He was not an official and did not need to live in a caravanserais.

Post station, in Jia Huan's small courtyard. The afterglow of the setting sun falls on the earthen walls. The cold wind blew the clothes drying in the courtyard.

Hu Chi took the nephew of the Hu family, carrying the gift box, and walked into Jia Huan's hall.

Jia Huan was talking and laughing with a black scribe at the moment! got up and said with a smile: "Brother Hu, welcome to Dunhuang." I'm busy these days. You're coming, and I'm going to save a lot. ”

He stretched out his hand again and introduced: "This is my friend in the academy, Qin Hongtu, the word Gongzhai." In the seventeenth year of Yongzhi, he has not been a second-class jinshi. Now he is a propaganda envoy in the army, and he does copywriting work under the account of Deputy General Le. ”

Qin Hongtu is dark-skinned, tall, powerful, and born as an Orion. At first glance, they all think that this is a military general. But he is a very introverted person, and he was born in two lists. He followed Yang Wei to Dunhuang yesterday.

Qin Hongtu bowed, "I've seen Mr. Hu below." ”

"Lord Qin is polite." Hu Chi immediately had a good impression of him and hurriedly returned the salute.

After greeting and sitting down, Hu Chi was surprised by Jia Huan's state at the moment. In his imagination, Jia Huan is very likely to be depressed! Scolding ancestors and wives to others has long been angry! When he came in just now, there were more than a dozen Tuyuhun people shouting and scolding at the door.

"Brother Jia, what's going on here in Dunhuang? You..."
