Shangguan Yi went to Goguryeo. At the same time, Jie Balian dressed himself up as a farmer bowed his head and covered his face with a hat. There were very few people entering and leaving Shanhaiguan. Several guards stopped Jie Balian and walked out of Shanhaiguan. "What are you going to do?"

"Several officials." Jie Baliang explained with a smile, "I want to go to Changbai Mountain to find some herbs, but someone at home is sick."

"Where are you? Do you have any way to guide you?" The officers and soldiers finished their battle.

"Some, some." Jie Baliang smiled honestly and took out the fake road intent that had been prepared from his arms, "Xiaomin is from Youzhou."

The officers and soldiers looked at Lu Yin and nodded, glanced at Jie Baliang who was smiling and honest, and took out an axe from the side, "It's not peaceful in front of you recently, take it and defend yourself."

"Thank you, the official," Jie Baliang said with a smile, "Xiaomin came back and returned it to the official after collecting the medicine."

"Go, go, go and go back early, pay attention to safety." The officers and soldiers returned the road to Jie Baliang.

"Xiaomin understands." Jie Baliang walked out of Shanhaiguan and turned his back to everyone's face. The honest smile disappeared, and he returned to his gloomy and cold face.

A sound of horse hooves came from far to near, Jie Baliang accelerated his pace and left everyone's sight, and then ran towards Changbai Mountain.

"See General!" Several officers and soldiers saw Li Junxian kneeling on one knee when they saw him wearing armor.

Li Junxian turned over and got off the horse and looked at the dilapidated Shanhaiguan solemnly, "Are there any suspicious people passing by recently?"

"Return to the general." A sergeant replied, "No people pass by in the Shanhaiguan area on weekdays, some of them are just some herb collectors."

Li Junxian handed the sword in his hand to the generals around him, "Call people to repair Shanhaiguan and clear Hebei Road, and it is about to fight east!"

"Yes!" the soldiers replied.

Walking into Shanhaiguan, Li Junxian was very worried about the broken pass. He looked down and saw a pair of footprints leaving Shanhaiguan. Looking at the footprints, it should have just left, and asked the officers and soldiers who wanted to guard the pass, "Has anyone just gone out?"

"I went back to General, and I was a person who went to Changbai Mountain to collect herbs. He said he was from Youzhou. There was no problem seeing him passing by."

"No problem?" Li Junxian asked in confusion, "How long have you been away?"

"I just left for a while, less than a cup of tea." The officer and soldier said.

Li Junxian walked out of Shanhaiguan a few steps and looked in front of him. The person was gone. "Was that person so anxious? Should he run away or collect herbs?"

The guards immediately understood and knelt on one knee, "I am negligent in my duties, so I will chase you!"

Chang'an, the suburbs of Daning Temple

Gu Qing was still living a comfortable life here. In a corner of the temple, Gu Qing held a card in his hand and said to several monks, "You guys are playing cards, why are you trying hard?"

“One-on-six!”

“One-on-eight!”

...

The little monk hurried over and said, "Donor Gu, someone is looking for you."

"Who?" Gu Qing held a card in his hand.

"He is an official, looking in his thirties." The young monk said, "and he was talking to Mr. Gu about the affairs of the Secretariat."

Gu Qing stood up, put down the card, and took the peach in the little monk's hand in one hand, "You guys continue playing."

"Donor Gu is my peach." The little monk looked aggrieved.

...

Now, Yang Shidao, the Minister of Personnel, was in the temple. Seeing Gu Qing coming and smiling, "Mr. Gu."

"Who are you?" Gu Qing slapped his mouth and bite the peach.

"I'm going to the Yang Shidao." The other party replied, "It's the Minister of Personnel appointed by Your Majesty yesterday."

"Are you here to arrange for me to do things for the Secretariat?" Gu Qing looked at the other party, "I tell you that I don't want many people! As long as I can do it."

"That's natural." Yang Shidao took out the roster, "This is the roster. The marquis will see if it is suitable. After the marquis is selected, I will give it to His Majesty for a look."

Gu Qing took the list and looked at these names. When he saw Gu Qing hesitant, Yang Shidao said, "Mr. Marquis, it would be fine if he had a circle of bets he liked."

"Do you usually choose people just by looking at the names? At least you can give a brief introduction or resume." Gu Qing looked at these names and walked to his room to pick up a brush, his eyes turned to the official booklet of the Ministry of Personnel, and with a big stroke, he circled all the officials of the Ministry of Personnel except the Minister of Personnel, and added the list to Yang Shi, "I want these people."

"Mr. Marquis, this is probably..." The Minister of Personnel kept silent, looking like he wanted to speak but stopped.

Gu Qing sighed and patted the Minister of Personnel on the shoulder, "We are officials, we can raise any opinions, but just mention them. Don't mess with those useless ones."

“…”

"Mr. Marquis!" Yang Shidao, the Minister of Personnel, had a bitter face, "Mr. Marquis, you have taken away all the people from the Ministry of Personnel, what should you do if you ask me to do?"

"What does it have to do with me?" Gu Qing ate peaches, "It's what you said that I like. Besides, you are the Minister of Personnel, you can just find a few officials by yourself. Isn't there a lot of idle officials on your list?"

Yang Shidao put away the list aggrievedly, "I understand."

"The same sentence." Gu Qingyu said earnestly, "If you have any opinions, you can mention them. If you mention them, forget it. Don't mess with those useless ones."

Yang Shidao left Daning Temple in disappointment.

The little monk came to Gu Qing with another peach in his hand, "Why did that guy leave with a sad face?"

"It's nothing." Gu Qing threw the peaches in his hand casually, took the peaches in his hand and started eating them.

The little monk pouted and looked at Gu Qing, "You snatch my peach again!"

The peaches are soft and hard in their mouths, sweet and juicy. Gu Qing turned a blind eye to the grievance of the little monk, "Where did you pick peaches? I didn't see any peach trees nearby."

"It was sent by people from nearby villages." The little monk sat aside with grievance.

"Don't be wronged." Gu Qing touched the little monk's bald head, "I'll make a roast chicken for you to eat."

"I won't eat it!" The little monk turned his head, blushing his face until his ears.

Under the clear sky, Gu Qing took the little monk to the river, stood barefoot on the shallows of the river, bent down to catch fish.

Wu Mei brought things from home to visit Gu Qing. When she saw her husband and the little monk catching fish in the river, she smiled gently and looked at this scene. She always felt that her husband could live so freely no matter where she was.

Gu Qing and the little monk slammed in the river for most of the day but didn't catch a fish. When they saw a group of people standing by the river, they were Wu Mei.

"Girl!" Gu Qing called and walked over, "Why are you here?"
