Chapter 19: Practicing the Snake and Ju Gu
"Even dogs can eat meat until they are full, and they won't even eat shit?"
Chen Tuwei narrowed his eyes and looked at Gu Liubai's green eyes, and smiled sinisterly, "Brother Fifteen, do you think you are Tangren?"
"Then what do you think is a Tang people?" Gu Liubai smiled coldly, "What do you think the Tang Dynasty became the Tang Dynasty because of?"
Chen Tu smiled rarely and said in a sequel: "Of course I cut it out with a knife and a sword."
"It's up to here."
Gu Liubai pointed his head. Before Chen Tu got angry, he said calmly, "The Emperor of the Tang Dynasty said, 'Since ancient times, they have always valued China and were inferior to barbarians. I love them as one.' It is because of such a brain that the Tang Dynasty can tolerate everything and have a unique spirit of a great country. Because of such a brain, this won him the title of Tian Khan and shocked the four barbarians."
"Do you think that the people he brought when he raised his army can conquer such a large territory?" Gu Liubai glanced at Chen Tu and continued, "There are many of the people who help the Tang Dynasty fight now, the Hu people you mentioned. According to the emperor's idea, as long as these Turks abide by the etiquette and laws of our Tang Dynasty, these Turks can naturally be regarded as the people of the Tang Dynasty. If they are used here by the Tang Dynasty, they can make the Tang Dynasty's strength reach places that were originally unreachable."
Chen Tu looked straight into Gu Liubai's eyes and said, "So that's how do you really think?"
Gu Liubai nodded and said, "And a person must have the simplest view of right and wrong. Whoever treats me will be nice to him. These Turks have faith and righteousness to me, and I will have faith and righteousness to them."
Chen Tu squinted his eyes and smiled.
He seemed to be convinced.
But Gu Liubai knew that there was only a moment when Chen Tu felt that his actions were not conducive to the Tang Dynasty and that he was establishing a powerful enemy for the Tang Dynasty, then he might really chop him off here.
The second son of the Xie family in Chen County only considered his own interests and his family. He would never care even if he corrupted many holes into the Tang Dynasty.
But Chen Tu and others are different.
They look like leopards on the Tianshan Mountains. They eat meat with their own abilities and are unruly and difficult to control, but in fact they have a strong sense of territory. When encountering things that will cause serious harm to the Tang Dynasty, they may sacrifice everything they have.
Chang'an is clearly so far away from them, but it seems to be growing in their hearts.
They will not be willing to die under the conspiracy of some big shot.
But they can die for the Tang Dynasty in their minds.
...
After walking out of the warehouse where Cui Yunshen and others were staying honestly, Gu Liubai and Liu Muyu told Xie Wan in detail about his plans and explained some of his plans. Before the arrival of the Turkic Black Rider, he returned to Chunfeng Tower.
Just as he had pinched the time, when Gu Liubai sat down by the window in Chunfeng Building, Chen Tu saw the old man he called Uncle Gui brought steaming soup with steaming noodles.
"Uncle Gui, I'm ready to leave."
When Gu Liubai looked at the old man with some reluctance to say, Chen Tu suddenly smelled a very dangerous aura from the old man.
The old man looked and dressed too ordinary, but when he heard Gu Liubai say this, the old man nodded, there seemed to be a scent that made Chen Tu feel extraordinary and emanating from his body.
"Your mother has something to leave for you, so I'll give it to you until you leave." The old man nodded, and even his facial features seemed to have become a little three-dimensional in Chen Tu's eyes, with an indescribable calmness, a kind of smell that no one can mess with me.
Gu Liubai said, "I guess so."
The old man said, "If we ask for help, I will send someone to bring a letter."
Gu Liubai said, "Okay, I just want to ask Uncle Gui for something."
The old man had already turned around and was about to get things. When he heard Gu Liubai say this, he slowly turned around, "What's the matter?"
"After we separated from the Turks, we walked into the pass, and our whereabouts were uncertain. A clan child from Lucaoyi arranged a sword competition. This sword competition took five days to ten days. And he needed this sword competition to be seen by many people. Where do you think he would choose to take action?"
"As you say, it may be in Heshawar."
"Black Shawar?"
"Yes, Heishawa Killing Festival. Lucaoyi is close to Yumen Pass, but there is no one watching the sword there. And if it is related to Yumen Pass, it will probably be difficult for you to enter the pass even if you get there."
"I forgot about the Day of Killing Animals."
"This year is the high-sacrifice year of Heishawa, and the war horses raised by the imperial court have also been delivered in large quantities, so the emperor may attach great importance to it."
"Well, even if the emperor does not pay attention to it, because of the delivery of war horses, there should be many officials going to. There will also be a large number of livestock and fur transactions in Longtoukan and Kushaying, which is very convenient to enter the pass."
"The most important thing is that it is indeed more convenient to obtain a serious identity there, but you naturally know that you can't get an identity and pass certificate there, as it must be in other people's calculations."
"I know this."
"Be careful, even if you are like loaches hiding in the mud, this person will find a way to drive you out of the mud and go to that place."
"Then I can only find a way to set up the Heishawa first. Anyway, at least the officials from Taipu Temple and the Ministry of War are there, this person will not be too big."
Listening to such a simple dialogue but with a lot of information, Chen Tu once again deeply realized that the people here in Mingbaipo were not good people. Thinking about Liang Fengning and Guo Beixi from Canglang Sword Sect all died here. He felt that Mingbaipo was like a strange and bizarre place to raise a monster like Gu Liubai.
The two hundred black cavalry of the Turks blocked Mingbaipo for nearly two hours, and then took five people away.
After all the Turks left, the caravan where He Fenglin was also located left Mingbaipo as soon as possible, but the rest of the caravans did not dare to leave Mingbaipo for a while. Until some people got a definite reply from Gu Liubai, and until this group of Turks no longer made things difficult for any caravans that went out here, all the caravans stranded in Mingbaipo became busy again.
Although I don’t know what happened here from beginning to end, and being innocently involved in it did cause a lot of trouble for these caravans, there was not much actual loss. After a while, almost all caravans sent some gifts, and even the two poorest horse gangs sent a lot of jerky that was harder than stones.
Looking at the posture of these people, Chen Tu knew that they had less flattering to Gu Liubai before they were upset.
"It is not easy to get to your level in such a ghost place. If you stay here, I am afraid that all the caravans passing by here will provide you with you in the future. Without your promise, I am afraid that they will not even sleep on this trade road. If you can ensure their safety, maybe they will build a temple for you in the future. Why do you have to leave?"
He twisted a jasper-colored glass cup with his fingers, letting it look at the noon sunshine, squinted, "Look at the glass cup they gave them, this kind of business that may not have such a way to ask people for business in Chang'an."
"The wolf at the foot of Kunlun Mountain wants to eat sheep, and the golden eagles flying on the Tianshan Mountain want to eat rabbits. This is something that Changshengtian cannot change. How can I be able to ensure the safety of all the fat sheep and rabbits on this trade route."
"When will you go?"
"After sunrise tomorrow, the snow will freeze when the time comes, making it easy to walk on the road, and there will be fewer traces."
"Aren't you already ready to use your own tricks, you're going to fall into the trap anyway, and you're still afraid of leaving traces?"
"You can't think that you don't take people seriously after you have calculated it clearly. Such people do big things, and he is likely to try again and again."
Chen Tu sighed.
He used to think that the smarter people are, the better. The easier it is to use their brains, the easier it is to think of useful methods. However, after he really got to know Gu Liubai, he began to think that being too smart was not a good thing. He always knew those potential dangers, as if there were always many bright big knives pressing on his neck, and he felt that his head could move at any time.
He was silent for a while before he made up his mind, looking at Gu Liubai and said, "I really can't be sure whether it's a good or a bad thing to ride a boat with someone like you, but since you really did what you said, you saved us from the Turks, and you also knew the idea of the Xie son of Lucaoyi fighting Yin Shiniang. We can do what you say and do what you say, and we will tell you first."
Gu Liubai frowned deeply, "My situation is in trouble next."
Chen Tu narrowed his eyes slightly, "What does Brother Fifteen mean?"
"According to your behavior, Brother Chen Tu, after I know some of your foundation, if I do things that make you feel unsatisfied, you must have to silence me, right?" Gu Liubai smiled slightly.
Chen Tu smiled a little stiffly, "Not."
"Good word!"
Accompanied by a sigh of praise, the middle-aged man who appeared on the mountain road in the west walked into Chunfeng Tower. The white-bearded Hu Laosan also walked in.
The snow on the exterior wall of Chunfeng Tower has peeled off, Gu Liubai has no nonsense, and a line of words is revealed, which is exactly "Smiling in the spring breeze when you are in the hut".
This line of characters is indeed a good character, very powerful, and the ink penetrates into the rocks like it seeps into paper. There are probably many people who know the goods in the caravans, obviously brushing a layer of transparent grease outside, and it is shiny when the sun shines on it.
The middle-aged man carried a long sword with a snow-white sword hilt. He looked very bookish, but his words and deeds were very heroic. He thrust the long sword he was carrying upwards, and sat down beside Chen Tu. He looked at Gu Liubai and laughed, "There is another sentence before, Hu Ji looks like a flower. I guess this person probably wanted to say to your mother back then, but he heard that your mother is so powerful, so he only dares to write this sentence."
Gu Liubai didn't answer, but turned around and looked at Chen Tu with contempt, "It must be you who asked him to inquire about my mother?"
