"Check it." Gu Qing nodded and said.

Xue Ji hesitated for a while and said, "Then I will accept it, but the Maritime Trade Department has many matters, so it is not convenient to stay for a long time..."

"It's okay, you go back." Gu Qing said calmly.

"Then let's go." Xue Ji took the silver cake handed over by Fan Jian and quickly left. After walking away from the Gu family, he breathed a sigh of relief. He held a heavy bag of silver cakes in his hand and felt scared. What would happen if he didn't accept these silver cakes? This time he helped Gu Qing. Gu Qing gave himself money to repay favors. People like Gu Qing should not have too many entanglements with him. Is Gu Qing so owed favors so well?

How miserable is in Japan now, it is caused by Gu Qing. From the bottom of his heart, he knows how terrible Gu Qing is.

After Xue Ji left, Gu Qing ate the pastry and said, "This pastry is quite delicious. Why doesn't Xue Ji taste this?"

Fan Jian smiled and said, "It's true that eleven people are correct, the same as what we reported to the fleet yesterday."

"A person who is flexible and honest in doing things." Gu Qing nodded with a smile, "We, Your Highness, King Jin, did not use the wrong person."

Fan Jian nodded, knowing in his heart that the head of the family really wants to repay Xue Ji, but it also depends on whether Xue Ji will take the initiative to say this. If Xue Ji doesn't say it, this person may be out of reach for Haima in the future.

Although Haimao is hosted by His Highness King Jin, Haimao was founded by Gu Qing, and this foundation has always been in the hands of the Gu family.

Eating pastries and drinking tea, Gu Qing fell into deep thought again, "What should I eat today?"

After thinking for a while, Gu Qing found a fishing rod that he had not used for many days, "I haven't been fishing for a long time."

When he arrived at the river bank, Gu Qing threw the fishing line into the river.

"You didn't put the bait." Cheng Chumo didn't know when he appeared behind him.

Gu Qing was shocked, "Why are you here?"

"My father went to the Hai Trade Department to share the accounts. I originally wanted to pay attention to the goods at home. His Highness King Jin was thoughtful, so I had nothing to do." Cheng Chumo sat next to Gu Qing, "How long have you been here in Chang'an?"

"I'm lazy." Gu Qing looked at the fishing line, "It seems that some fish have taken the bait."

Seeing the float on the fishing line sinking, I hurriedly lifted the fishing rod and caught a crucian carp the size of a palm.

"Haha!" Gu Qing took back the line, put the fish into the bamboo basket beside him, and then fished.

Cheng Chumo looked surprised, "Why are the fish in Chang'an going back more and more? If there is no bait, I will still bite the hook?"

"Maybe the fish in Chang'an are as idle as me, and they bite them when they are idle." Gu Qing said.

Cheng Chu nodded in defence and said, "This incident tells me that being too idle is easy to be caught by others."

"Where is Xue Rengui preparing?"

"It is said that I have been training troops all the time, and I don't know how he is now." Cheng Chumo said, "But there is someone who should know that he should be coming soon."

"Who is coming?" Gu Qing looked back in confusion.

A figure walked out of the shade of the tree, and Su Dingfang came to Gu Qing step by step, "Gu Qing, we have been missing for a long time."

"Lao Fang!" Gu Qing hurriedly stood up, "Why are you here? Don't you have to be in charge of Zuo Wuwei?"

Speaking of this, Su Dingfang lowered his head sadly.

"Don't you know?" Cheng Chumo said while eating the fruit, "Lao Fang has resigned now, has removed his official position and returned to the field, and has no choice."

"Yes." Su Dingfang breathed a sigh of relief and said to Gu Qing, "It's finally here. Now Chang'an is so peaceful, and no one will come to attack the Tang Dynasty. Just like you, Cheng Chumo, said before, resigned from your post when you were free."

"Did Li Chengqian agree?" Gu Qing continued, "He didn't make things difficult for you."

"Where did Li Chengqian dare to make things difficult for him?" Cheng Chumo looked at Chang'an disdainfully, "Li Chengqian knew that Su Dingfang and you were born and died, and it was too late to beware of Su Dingfang. However, Su Dingfang had too high achievements. Li Chengqian was not easy to move him after several wars. Moreover, General Li Jing and the veteran generals in Chang'an valued Su Dingfang very much. Li Chengqian could only stare blankly. Su Dingfang had too much military achievements and had a life-and-death friendship with you Gu Qing. He was not easy to whine and could not chew on him."

Cheng Chumo spitted out, "Lao Fang resigned, and he, Li Chengqian, is afraid that he would wake up laughing in his dreams, but Li Chengqian is too unauthorized. No matter what, Lao Fang said, he made great contributions. He didn't give any benefits and let Lao Fang leave directly!"

Su Dingfang said with a wry smile, "Actually, Li Chengqian gave me a few acres of land, and I changed my hand and sold it again."

"Just these acres of land? Where are you sending beggars?" Cheng Chumo said with his big eyes, "The three of us were fighting outside and fighting with their lives. The Tang people were proud of the people of the Tang Dynasty and the foreign countries dare not act rashly. Now the task is done. We are now cowardly. After Li Chengqian ascended the throne, he has been hindering the power of Lao Fang and me in the army and putting people everywhere to decentralize power. Li Chengqian didn't believe us at all. We were bleeding and crying when we fought, and Li Chengqian ate it all afterwards."

"Okay." Su Dingfang comforted Cheng Chumo and said: "Actually, Li Chengqian planned to give me gold and silver, and I refused myself."

"What gold and silver, and title?" Cheng Chumo said angrily, "I'm angry when I say that, why don't you even give me a title, and I can inherit my father's title without talking about myself. You Gu Qing's family is rich and you don't have to worry. Look at Su Dingfang, he has nothing. It's not easy for him to be a commoner to get angry today. It's okay if you're not angry after leaving, but you don't even have a title after you leave. If my old man hadn't stopped him, I would have entered Chengtian Gate to settle the score with him. "

Cheng Chumo turned and said, "Gu Qing, has my axe fallen to you?"

"Ah? What!"

Cheng Chumo turned the subject too quickly and didn't react for a while. Cheng Yaojin's two Xuanhua axes were indeed detained by himself.

"Why are you talking about Lao Fang? What's your axe?" Gu Qing patted Su Dingfang's shoulder and said.

"Yes, yes, yes, Lao Fang." Cheng Chumo said to Su Dingfang, "Our brothers are born and die, and I am not afraid of Gu Qing and I! But you, Lao Fang, are different. You come to Chang'an without anything, and you can't go back without anything, Gu Qing, don't you?"

Judging from Su Dingfang's military merits, it was not too much for Su Dingfang to get a title, without a county official, at least one county waiter, and Su Dingfang fought several times outside the pass, once in Yanmen Pass, once in Hexi Corridor, once in Tubo, and once in Goguryeo. No matter what, it was not a battle that was sacrificed.

Looking at Su Dingfang and Gu Qing, he said, "Lao Fang, this title is to be fought for."

"No need." Su Dingfang waved his hands repeatedly.
