Gao Yao led the two of them, walked through the hall, and came to the back house of Guo's mansion. Gao Jun saw that the sixth uncle Gao Shenxing had already eaten, and he was leaning on the head of the bed, holding a book and reading it with relish.

When he saw Gao Jun coming in, he was very surprised and asked, "Jun'er, why are you here too?" ”

Gao Jun told the sixth uncle about the situation in the past two days. Gao Shenxing said, "I didn't expect the great leader of Tubo to have something to do with you, and I don't know if this is a blessing or a curse for you." ”

Gao Jun was very puzzled by the words of the sixth uncle, and he didn't know what was wrong with his sympathy with Songzan.

"Tubo is located on the plateau, and the land is vast and sparsely populated. In midsummer, there is often ice, and the ground is cold. As far as I know, I am always peeking into the prosperity of the mainland...... But my Tang Empire is strong and strong, and the military power is shocking, so that Tubo does not dare to think about it. But as a male lord, Songtsam is also constantly studying the topography of the mountains and rivers inside and outside the Guan, and the town of Guanaizhou...... This time, he came to Xizhou, probably to explore the new frontier of the Tang Dynasty - the reality of Xizhou. ”

Gao Jun suddenly realized, but then thought about it, his swearing with him was purely a personal friendship, and there should be nothing wrong. He took out the oolong knife given by Songtsan and showed it to the sixth uncle.

Gao Shenxing took the treasure knife, gently pulled it out from the sheath, and looked at the knife under the light, the handle was eight inches long, and it could be held with both hands. The blade is forty inches long, the back of the knife is four minutes thick, and the blade is jet black, exuding a chaotic light, and it is very heavy in the hand.

The sixth uncle said, "I'm not very good at weapons, but look at this knife, it's absolutely extraordinary...... Songtsam gave this precious thing as a gift, and didn't he ask you about anything? ”

"Sixth uncle, Songtsan once asked me about some things in the Liuzhong Ranch, but I prevaricated."

Gao Shenxing nodded and said to Gao Jun, "Maybe I'm too worried, maybe Songtsan is just falling in love with you." ”

Gao Jun recognized what Uncle Six said, and thought to himself, Songzan and I are pure brothers, and besides, he is the son-in-law of Datang, Uncle Six must be worried. If he has turned his back on the Tang Dynasty, he will draw a line with him, or even the two armies will face each other.

The sixth uncle said that after the governor Guo returned from Liu Zhongmu, he took his eldest son Guo Zhizhao to the north court, and he couldn't ask more about what business trips he had, but Guo said that he would return to Xiao Nian at the latest, and let Gao Shenxing wait for him in the governor's mansion.

Gao Jun asked, "Why haven't I seen the second brother yet?" ”

Gao Shen said, "He hasn't been in the school for the past few days, and he can't come back every night." ”

"What are the exams?"

"You may not know that every year, the imperial court selects some people from the children of officials above the third rank to enrich the army of the Son of Heaven Yulin. At that time, Gaozu raised troops from Taiyuan and selected 30,000 elite soldiers as palace guards, and they were the emperor's personal soldiers for life, and the treatment was very generous. Later, the source of these forbidden armies was mainly limited to the children of high-ranking officials in the court, and if they were selected as Qianniuwei, their status would be the same as that of the official officials of the imperial court. ”

How did Gao Jun know about these things before. The sixth uncle, Gao Shenxing, is very fond of this nephew, so he also knows everything, and wants to take advantage of the rare opportunity to meet the uncle and nephew to tell him as much as he knows.

Gao Jun then knew: the emperor's forbidden army was divided into two systems, the first was Taizong's selection of 10,000 horsemen composed of 10,000 good marksmen, and later changed its name to the left and right Longwu Army, and the second was the Beiya Seven Battalions composed of Taizong's selected warriors, which was later renamed the left and right camps and the left and right Yulin Army. The left and right Longwu Army and the left and right Yulin Army are collectively referred to as the Yulin Pro-Army, and the Yulin General is the emperor's most confidant, and his status is much higher than that of other Zhuwei generals.

Gao Jun told the sixth uncle about the official business to be approved in Xizhou this time. Gao Shenxing said, "Your plan to expand the ranch and ranch village should not have any major problems, it is always a good thing for the benefit of the country and the people...... It's just that I'm not in Xizhou for the past two days, and all big and small things are handled by Wang Da, but I hope everything goes well when things come to an end. ”

Thinking that it was already late today, Gao Jun made up his mind that he would find the two people mentioned by the sixth uncle tomorrow and do it first.

The uncle and nephew talked again, and Gao Yao ran to find Gao Jun over there, "Brother Jun, Sister Chang didn't come back at this time, do you want to look for her?" ”

As soon as Gao Yao came back, he pulled Liu Yuru to his room, and the two had endless words, so she said that she would lie with Liu Yuru and Gao Chang tonight, and continue to talk at night.

Until the two wanted to rest, they found that Gao Chang had not come back, so they came to find Gao Jun.

Gao Jun was very troubled by this cousin who had repeatedly had bad intentions for him, but looking at today's situation, he had to go out to find it by himself, so he took the newly obtained oolong knife, went out of the gate of the mansion, and went to the street to find it.

Because it was nearly a young year, several streets in Xizhou were very lively. Some people buy New Year's goods, some people invite friends to the street to watch the excitement, and the hawker stalls selling all kinds of New Year's goods are next to each other.

There are also blonde and blue-eyed beauties from Persia, who dance boldly and unrestrainedly in public with the accompaniment of the butterfly piano. There were a lot of people around, and from time to time some people applauded.

Gao Junyin saw his cousin at the gate, and remembered that she wore a colorful skirt, which was a long skirt made of two or more colors of skirt materials, sewn longitudinally, and was fashionable in terms of width. Whether this kind of skirt is at a palace banquet or a village celebration, once it is whirled and danced by a woman in the skirt, it will be like a flower fluttering in the wind, which is very beautiful.

Therefore, young women in the Tang Dynasty like to wear them regardless of dignity and inferiority, the difference is in the materials and workmanship. A woman from a poor family may only be able to afford a skirt made of two-color fabrics, while Gao Chang wears a lot of red, orange, yellow, green, and purple colors.

Therefore, Gao Jun did not look at his face, but only looked at the skirt of the young woman in the crowd, looking from one place to another, street by street.

Seeing that the last street was coming to an end, there was no way to see her. , still not Gao Chang's figure. Thinking in her heart, this crazy girl doesn't know where she has gone, don't she have walked through the opposite side, Gao Chang has now returned to the Governor's Mansion.

I was about to turn around and go back to take a look, but I unexpectedly heard a high cry from one of the most marginal alleys, as well as the voices of several men:

One person said, "This eldest sister, don't be ignorant, you scratched our master's face, and it is unreasonable not to follow our master to the house to make amends." ”

Another person said, "My lord Wang has always only loved to tame fierce horses, so I went with our lord Wang, and let him discipline you well, so that you will become docile and pleasant from now on, and you will not have to cause trouble in the public in the future." ”

I heard Gao Chang yell, "Phew! A bunch of shameless people, what do you say, lord, adult, I think you are scoundrels, acquaintances hurry up and let this girl go, otherwise, my family will find you in a while, so that you can't eat and go around! ”

The place where Gao Jun is located is the southernmost of the three main streets in Xizhou, which is relatively deserted compared to the other two streets. However, because the end of the year is approaching, it is time to close, and all kinds of trading merchants have not yet closed their stalls.

At the mouth of this alley, there are two Uighur barbecue stalls, with steaming smoke and rich meat. There are also artists from the Zhu Luo Kingdom who picked up the lamp and played monkeys, and there were many people around him, all gossiping.

If it weren't for Gao Jun's good ears and his attentive attention to Gao Chang, the situation in the alley would not have made him notice either.

Gao Jun followed the sound, came to the mouth of the alley, and did not make a noise, but looked into the alley. It was a cul-de-sac, with tall dwellings on both sides, and a wall on the other side, which was only three or four people wide, but it was deep into the street, five feet long, and there was no light in it.

Gao Jun saw four or five figures inside. One of them is wearing a colorful skirt, and his size must be high.

Gao Jun saw that this invincible cousin was in trouble for the first time, and not only did he not get anxious when he saw it, but he had a kind of schadenfreude. Looking at those few people at the moment, they were just teasing with words, and they didn't move their hands and feet, and they had the intention to hide in the dark and watch the excitement for a while, so they didn't go in.

It turned out that Gao Chang was pulled out of the street by Gao Yao, and after meeting Gao Jun and Liu Yuru at the gate, Gao Yao immediately abandoned himself, pulled Liu Yuru to ask questions very affectionately, and his heart was a little sour.

Later, I saw that Liu Yuru gave Gao Yao a newly obtained silver fox fur cloak, although she didn't say anything, and her face tried her best to show that she didn't care, but the sour taste in her heart was a little stronger.

I walked out into the street with emotions like this, and I always felt unhappy in the face of the very lively street. You must know that Gao Chang is the daughter of a princess, and she didn't dare to give the moon when she asked for a star since she was a child, and she has long developed a domineering character. There is a fire in my heart, and it is absolutely uncomfortable not to spill it.

She first came to a noodle kneader's stall, chose the style, and when they kneaded it for her, she said that it didn't look good, and threw the kneading noodle man on the stall, and they all fell out of shape, and she didn't give money, turned around and left. The vendor of the dough kneader was an honest craftsman, so he didn't bother with her and went with her.

Later, Gao Chang went to the fabric stall again, chose a three-foot red cloth, said the price, waited for the scissors, and said that he didn't like it, turned around and left, the stall owner saw that she was a young lady from a big family, and dared not speak out. In fact, she doesn't look at the cloth of this fabric at all, it's purely to find fault.

Finally came here. This time, she grilled two skewers of meat first, and while eating, she watched the artists of the Chola Kingdom play monkeys. But the crowding of people can't really be seen, Gao Chang has always been used to only himself in his eyes, and he can't wait to eat shi, so he squeezed in regardless of it, and stepped on a person without paying attention.

This man has a round face, a round nose, big pockmarks, squinting eyes, and is wearing civilian clothes. I had already noticed this gorgeously dressed woman, who looked very cute, but she raised two skewers of barbecue very indecently, and ate it so that there were stains on her cheeks, and when she saw that Gao Chang had no entourage around her, she had the intention to tease. So he borrowed his head, stretched out his hand and grabbed Gao Chang's arm, and couldn't help but say that he pulled Gao Chang out of the crowd and had to make her apologize.

Where did Gao Chang receive this, he got angry after saying two words, and scratched this person's face, and a finger mark immediately appeared on this person's face. This person followed three entourages, and when he saw that the master was angry, he surrounded him, pushing and shoving Gao Chang into a dead end.

"Your family? Looks like you have a home? Don't scare us with big words, see that you are a person who no one cares, relying on cheating to eat and drink, wearing a set of good-looking outfits to bluff people, today you obediently follow our master and it will be fine, otherwise, don't blame us for using strong, put you in a sack and leave, see what you are still hard! ”

"Yes, find another piece of cloth to gag her mouth, so that she doesn't have to shout."

Gao Chang was not afraid at first, thinking that there were so many people next to him, and he would not suffer. But one is late, and the other is that these people only care about the excitement, who cares about the disputes of several people. Besides, on the streets of Xizhou, where the three religions and nine streams gather, this kind of dispute happens all the time.

Hearing these men say this, Gao Chang felt scared in his heart, regretted that he shouldn't have come out alone, glanced at the mouth of the alley, saw that it was getting darker and darker, and thought that no one in the family knew that he was suffering here, and there was really no way out. If these people are arrested, where will the girl's face go?

Another person said, "When you have time, you can go to the street and inquire, whose woman does we have a crush on this land, not the creation of this family!" It's good that you still push back and don't know how to lift. Who told you to provoke us first and then tickle us? Today, if you don't go with us, I'm afraid you won't be able to get out of this alley! We are not afraid of you suing Xizhou Mansion! ”

As he spoke, he pulled Gao Chang's sleeve.

"Stop!" A deep angry shout came from the mouth of the alley.
