Li Chengqian walked to Di Renjie step by step and whispered: "You are Gu Qing's disciple, but I have never suspected you. You are in charge of Dali Temple. I feel relieved. But if something happens to you on the battlefield, who will I give the important task of Dali Temple to such a huge Chang'an?"

"Now there is one of the academy students named Zhang Jiuling. If I can't come back, Your Majesty can see the character Zhang Jiuling." Di Renjie whispered.

"Zhang Jiuling?"

"That's right." Di Renjie continued: "This person's academic studies in the academy have always been very good. Many masters also praised Zhang Jiuling very much, but for some reason, he was preparing for the imperial examination, but he left the academy without saying goodbye. However, it was told that he was just going back to his hometown to visit relatives. I thought he wanted to go and experience it. This is an ambitious person and he will definitely return to Chang'an in the future."

"Is Zhang Jiuling?" Li Chengqian secretly wrote down the name.

"I plan to set off for Tubo tomorrow." Di Renjie bowed and said.

"Come back safely." Li Chengqian patted Di Renjie on the shoulder.

Gu Qingluo sat at home and listened to Sun Simiao saying, "If that kid Di Renjie doesn't catch the Fu Zheng, he will definitely be unwilling to accept it."

"That boy is stubborn." Gu Qing whispered: "It means Di Renjie has become the minister of Dali Temple. This mansion is the first opponent to make him feel frustrated. At the beginning, because I stopped him and checked the mansion, he felt depressed for a long time. It is good to have such a heart. At the beginning, I stopped him for his safety, because I don't know about the mansion. Now I don't want to extinguish his passion anymore. Forget it once or twice, I'm afraid that the perseverance in his heart will be extinguished by me."

"Why did you save him a life?" Sun Simiao asked.

"You don't know anything about it, but I really want to kill him, but I don't have a chance. There is always a feeling that I can't kill him. This feeling was brought to me by him. I also want to leave a bottom line, and it is also to satisfy a guess in my heart. I have been verifying this idea for so many years in the Tang Dynasty."

Sun Simiao narrowed his eyes and leaned on the recliner, shaking the palm-leaf fan in his hand, "The ups and downs you have experienced in the past few years have changed a lot."

"It's ridiculous." Gu Qing touched his nose, "I have always wanted to change everyone, but I was changed by others unknowingly. I almost forgot what I was like back then."

"When I picked you up in the mountains, I didn't think so much. I just thought that a little baby could not die in the forest, so I saved you." Sun Simiao shook his head and smiled bitterly, "I didn't expect that a child I saved back then became such a person."

"Do you regret it?" Gu Qing turned his head to look at Sun Simiao who was smiling.

"I don't regret it. If I start over, I will still save you." Sun Simiao whispered.

Enjoying the peace here, Gu Qing took a sip of hot tea. There were few clouds on the clear blue sky, and the blue sky looked very comfortable.

After finishing the affairs of the Hai Trade Department, Xu Jingzong came to the door of the Gu family and said to the doorman in front of him: "Xu Jingzong of the Hai Trade Department is here to ask for a meeting with Mr. Gu Hou."

"Come in." Gu Qing's lazily speaking came from the yard.

Xu Jingzong walked into the Gu family and smiled at Gu Qing and said, "Mr. Gu Hou, it's been a long time since we saw each other."

Gu Qing sat up from the lounge chair and signaled Xu Jingzong to sit down and said, "It's rare that you have seen me in the Hai Trade Department now."

"Mr. Gu remembers the kindness of my husband's understanding and never dares to forget it." Xu Jingzong whispered: "I came today because I have something to ask me for."

"Though said it." Gu Qing nodded.

Xu Jingzong sat down and said, "Mr. Gu still remembers the second son of the Zhao family in Guanlong that year, Zhao Rui."

"Of course I remember, what's wrong?" Gu Qing recalled: "After the fall of the Guanlong Zhao family, he thought about re-establishing the Zhao family. He also did something in the Maritime Trade Department for a while."

"It's this person." Xu Jingzong said again: "This person made many businessmen when he was in the Hai Trade Department, and some of these businessmen were willing to make money with him. During this period, the people from the Xie family in Jiangnan had business dealings with Zhao Rui."

"Is this happening? Why don't I know?" Gu Qing asked in a low voice.

"Actually, I met Zhao Rui, the second son of Zhao, a few years ago. At that time, I was still the Shangshu Ling of the Shangshu Province. He really wanted to cling to him, but he was not easy to refuse and did not agree. Now that such a disaster occurred in Jiangnan, Zhao Rui, who is far away in Guanlong, sent someone to deliver a letter to me."

As he spoke, Xu Jingzong handed the letter in his hand to Gu Qing, "This is the letter Zhao Rui brought to me."

Gu Qing opened the letter and looked at the contents. Zhao Rui was asked about the status of the Xie family in Jiangnan.

After watching, Gu Qing looked at Xu Jingzong and said, "It's hard for the Xie family to protect themselves now, I'm afraid I can't take care of him, Zhao Rui."

"That's true." Xu Jingzong said again: "Mr. Gu Hou, let alone the grudges between the Guanlong family and the Marquis in the past few years, this time Zhao Rui was able to gain a foothold in Guanlong. The Jiangnan Xie family made a lot of efforts. What he is worried about now is whether he will be dragged into the water by the Jiangnan Xie family, otherwise the efforts of these years will be in vain."

"Do you think I should keep Zhao Rui?"

"It all depends on the Marquis's meaning, so I dare not make decisions." Xu Jingzong said.

"Xu Jingzong, you have changed a lot. You were not like this before." Gu Qing looked at Xu Jingzong.

Xu Jingzong just smiled awkwardly.

"You won't have any handle in Zhao Rui's hands."

After hearing Gu Qing's questioning, Xu Jingzong hurriedly said, "There is no handle in his hands of Zhao Rui. I just think that Zhao Rui is a useful talent. This person is good at doing business. The four major members of Guanlong were in Guanlong. The position of Guanlong also had its own unique benefits. I think that this time I will keep Zhao Rui and sell him a favor, which will help Gu Hou more in the future. Although I have no ability, these tricks are not blind. If Zhao Rui protects him, he can do more things for Hou Hou in the future."

Gu Qing smiled and took another sip of tea as if thinking.

Gu Qing was not saying anything, Xu Jingzong said again: "It's a pity that Mr. Hou abandoned him."

Putting down the teacup, Gu Qing said slowly: "The Yuezhi people were destroyed by the Xiongnu and crossed the Pamirs to the west. The branches and monks divided the kings and took Zhaowu as their surname. In the Han Dynasty, they lived in the Qilian Mountains and then divided the nine surnames Kang, Shi, An, Cao, Shi, Mi, He, Huoxun and Wu, and they also had the nine surnames Zhaowu. Nowadays, they mostly make a living by doing business. Many of them are merchants and often do business with people from the Turks and the Northern Desert."
