Tiantang Splendid

Chapter 385

Autumn in the Western Regions comes relatively late, but it comes very intensely, very briefly, very brightly and very splendidly.Just like changing a drawing board, suddenly a cold air came over, and the hot and green summer changed into cool and golden autumn clothes in a blink of an eye...

In a few days, a bitter frost will fall, the autumn wind will be rustling, the leaves will fall, and the true autumn will come.

At this moment, Guanzhong, I am afraid that it has been withered everywhere, and it is frosty like snow, right?
Half a month later, the scout sent a message that the team that came to take over had already traveled outside the Qijiaojing Canyon.

Fang Jun naturally led the soldiers of the Shenji Camp and dignitaries from all walks of life in Gaochang to greet him.

"The grapes in Turpan are ripe, and Anerhan's heart is drunk..." Fang Jun hummed a song while riding on his horse, thinking that he was about to return to Guanzhong, his mood became irresistibly happy. He felt that the wind was sweet and the fields were sweet. It's sweet, people are sweet too...

Xi Junmai leaned forward, approached Liu Rengui, and asked in a low voice, "Lord Commander, who is Anaerhan?"

"Little boy, don't ask more!" Liu Rengui scolded Xi Junbuy with his eyes wide open.

Xi Jun buys but is not afraid at all.

Although Liu Rengui was the commander of the Shenji Battalion, and he was in charge of a battalion of more than 500 soldiers, the relationship between the two had always been very good.Liu Rengui admired Xi Junmai, this clever and strong boy, and he has been taking care of him since the day Xi Junmai was asked to come by Fang Jun from the left guard army.

As for Anarhan...

Although he reprimanded Xi Jun for buying, Liu Rengui was also burning with the fire of gossip. He kept thinking about the Gaochang women who Fang Jun had been in contact with during this period of time, but after thinking about it, he did not expect any girl to be called this name.

Could it be that it was the lady from the house that the Admiral had his eye on?
Well, this is entirely possible...

Xi Junmai asked again: "Also, where is Turpan?"

"Turpan..." Liu Rengui frowned, his face like an old peasant full of doubts: "This should be a Turkic language, right?" It sounds like it should be a Turkic language, but I am not sure.

"Turkic language?" Xi Junmai rolled his eyes, looked behind him, and waved at a soldier not far away.

The soldier quickly trotted over, accompanied by a smiling face: "Team leader, what's the matter?"

Xi Junmai asked in a low voice, "Can you speak Turkic?"

This soldier was a scout from Guazhou, under the command of Qi Bi He Li, who grew up in the Western Regions since childhood, and was a native of Tiele.A few days ago, while investigating in the field, he accidentally fell off the horse and injured his leg, so he did not return to Guazhou with Qi Bi He Li.

Hearing the words at this time, he quickly said, "Yes!"

"Turpan...what do you mean?" Xi Junmai asked.

"In Turkic dialect, it probably means oasis, or it can be said to be fertile land?" The soldier said uncertainly.

Xi Junmai and Liu Rengui looked at each other, and their doubts deepened...

Fang Jun heard the two chattering behind him and didn't know what to say, but he didn't care at all.

Not far ahead, Qijiaojing Mountain Pass is already in sight!
Just when they reached the mountain pass, a group of people had already turned out.

The flags are fluttering, and the army is majestic!
The two groups of people were just walking to meet each other, Fang Jun dismounted first, and walked to greet him as a show of respect.

No respect is not enough, if it is not bad, this Qiao Shiwang, but he is about to become the first Anxi Protector of the Frontier, whether he supports or not directly affects the success or failure of Fang Jun's strategy for the Western Regions!
Among the crowd, the minister who thought the purple official robe jumped out of a luxurious carriage and strode up to greet him.

"Hehe, Erlang is indeed a young hero. This time, he is willing to be the queen of the army and appease Gao Chang. It can be said that he has worked hard!"

From a distance, the purple-robed official laughed heartily and gave Fang Jun a tall hat!

Moreover, instead of calling him an official position, he called out "Erlang", his posture was very low, and he seemed very close, as if he wanted to talk about relatives...

Fang Jun looked at this, the corners of his eyes jumped.

It's not that he has any opinion on this Qiao Shiwang, he is just jealous of this purple robe...

Perhaps, this time back in Beijing, His Majesty Li Er has found out in conscience that he can also give us a piece of clothing?
"Inspector Qiao is too famous, but I don't dare to be an official..." Fang Jun replied with a smile.

The prefect of Shangzhou is from the third rank, Fang Jun's highest official and staff minister is from the fourth rank, which is a few steps away.Fortunately, Fang Jun's Xinxiang Hou is from the third rank. In terms of it, the two are considered equal. Of course, Fang Jun's qualifications are too far behind.So even though Qiao Shiwang is of equal rank, Qiao Shiwang can express closeness.

Master Qiao strode forward, grabbed Fang Jun's hand, and smiled affectionately: "It's worth it, it's worth it! My generation is already old and about to die. The future of the Tang Empire depends on the civil and military like Erlang. Only an all-rounder who cultivates at the same time can bear it, and let us have no worries, hehe!"

Qiao Shiwang is actually not very old, less than fifty years old, but his hair is still more than half gray, but his body is very tough, and he walks like a fly, no less than a young and strong man.

With a square appearance, gentle and elegant, there is a humble and gentle temperament between his words, which makes people feel good.

This should not be a very strong person...

Fang Jun was a little awkward when he was holding hands by him. I don't know why people in this era always like to hold hands when they meet...

However, he couldn't get rid of others, so he had to endure the discomfort in his heart and said with a smile: "The remarks made by Qiao Shishi made Fang Mou ashamed..."

Qiao Shiwang smiled and said, "Why should a talented person be too modest..."

Just as he was talking about this, someone suddenly said behind him: "Master Qiao has already stepped down from the post of governor, and now he is the Protector of Anxi, appointed by His Majesty. He is a high-ranking official from the second rank. Shouldn't the Marquis of Xinxiang have an audience with him?"

Fang Jun's face darkened instantly.

Uh, it was pretty dark originally, but it's darker now...

The smile on Qiao Shiwang's face suddenly froze, and there was a faint anger in his eyes, but he did not express it.

Fang Jun followed the reputation, but saw a scribe in a green shirt glaring at him.

This guy is sick...

You are so uncivilized and impolite to me, I am not angry yet, why are you staring at such big eyes?
"Who are you?" Fang Jun asked in a deep voice, feeling a little puzzled, does this person have a grudge against me?
The scholar shook his robe and said proudly, "The new deputy governor of the Anxi governor's office, Hou Wenxiao!"

Fang Jun was stunned for a moment and said, "Sorry, I haven't heard of it..."

He was telling the truth.

Hou Wenxiao?Who knows what rock you came out of!
Hou Wenxiao's face was red and his ears were red, and he was furious!

In his opinion, this is Fang Junchi's contempt, the most direct insult!
The deputy chief guard of the dignified Anxi Duhufu is a high-ranking official from the third rank, and he can be on an equal footing with Fang Jun!
And in Hou Wenxiao's mind, Fang Jun, the marquis, is completely fortunate, a gift from His Majesty, and his official position is a real deal!

Why do you despise me?
Hou Wenxiao stared at Fang Jun, gritted his teeth, and said, "Hou Wenyi, it's my brother-in-law!"

The anger in his eyes seemed to be sprayed out, burning Fang Jun to the bone!

Fang Jun is simply inexplicable, does this person have a brain disease?I don't even know you, so who is your brother?
Duan Zan pulled his sleeves behind him, Fang Jun turned his head in surprise, Duan Zan leaned over and whispered, "This person is Hou Junji's nephew. Hou Junji's son has been demented since he was a child, and outsiders don't know it. Hou Junji attaches great importance to his two nephews and regards them as the basis for inheriting the family business. The Hou Wenyi he mentioned is the one who was executed by your lord a few days ago according to military discipline..."

"Oh—" Fang Jun suddenly realized, and blurted out, "It turned out to be that dead ghost!"

Feeling this Hou Wenxiao wants to avenge his brother?

No wonder we look like a fly seeing shit, so I have to take a bite... bah bah, what a metaphor!
But this Hou Wenxiao can actually serve as the deputy chief guard of the third-rank Daduhufu?It's really surprising.But Fang Jun thought about it and understood the mystery.

Fang Jun ignored Hou Wenxiao, whose face was like a pig's liver, and asked Qiao Shiwang with a smile: "Is that Hou Dashuai was punished by His Majesty?"

It must be His Majesty Li Er who punished Hou Junji heavily, and even cut his official position to enforce military discipline.However, Hou Junji is an old brother who followed His Majesty Li Er to the front and back, although he had to be punished due to military law, but after all, he had a relationship in the past, so that he could promote Hou Junji's nephew as compensation...

Sure enough, Qiao Shiwang said indifferently: "Exactly, Duke Lu was impeached by the censor and has been taken into prison by His Majesty, awaiting the review and ruling of Dali Temple."

Fang Jun glanced at him and stared at him, wishing he could rush up to Hou Wenxiao who bit him to death, his eyes narrowed.

This guy is obviously immortal with himself, and this person has an impulsive personality. If he stays in Gaochang, I am afraid that it will hinder his own strategy.

But this guy is a deputy protector from the third rank, can he still kill him?

Seems like a lot of effort...
