Chapter 209 White Ginseng General
He poured a bowl of hot tea on his own, and then Gu Xianfo turned his eyes to Bai Qi who was kneeling on the ground. He smiled and said, "Sir Bai Yi, please get up quickly. I have ordered someone to apply for a new household registration certificate for you. From today on, you will be the sixth-grade Wushen Bai Qi of Xiliang. You can no longer claim to be a criminal citizen, General Bai Shen."
The last three words Gu Xianfo spit out were like a sledgehammer, which directly shattered Bai Qi's last rebellious heart. People like Gu Xianfo naturally would not know how excited Bai Qi was to transform from a lonely ghost into a living person. Not only could he stand openly in the sun from now on, but his wife, son and daughter can live in a normal way.
Nowadays, Gu Xianfo's ability to play with people's hearts is becoming more and more like Gu Huai. A light sentence can capture the most longing and fearful part of the hearts. Even though people know that there is a fire pit ahead, they still have to jump and have to jump.
Bai Qi kowtowed three times in conscience, and when he raised his head, he was already full of tears. He said in a deep voice: "I will thank Bai Qi for the prince's priests. Bai Qi swore with his ancestor tablet here. As long as the prince is alive, I, Bai Qi, will be the prince's front guards for the three generations, and will be the prince's man; if I die, I will be the prince's ghost. If I violate this matter, both people and gods will abandon it, and thousands of arrows will penetrate the heart!"
Damn it, I feel like calling myself a last general, it’s so fucking good!
Gu Xianfo smiled and held a chopstick of white radish and put it into the rice porridge in front of him. He gently blew the hot air on the rice porridge and said with a smile: "Why do you have to say this? I will tell you a brief moment. I know your difficulties and hope that you will also understand your difficulties. I know that I do not have the ability to accept the head and worship it, so I don't ask you to die. I just hope that when I am still in power, you can make it easier for you, and there is no need for you to die. I just hope that when I can use you, you can not shrink back. Do you think this is possible?"
Bai Qi smiled and nodded, and the tears on his face were not dry. He smiled and said, "The prince's words are realistic and reasonable. The prince will only give the prince a brief hand. The prince's subordinates have the six thousand horse thieves, but the real prince's command and mobilization power is only 3,000. The real prince's confidants are only about 1,200. The real prince can kill the prince. As long as the prince can leave three hundred family assets for the prince, everything else is easy to say!"
Gu Xianfo chuckled and helped him, saying, "The three realities of General Bai Shen make me feel at ease when I listen to it. Come and get up and speak, don't kneel on the ground. From then on, General Bai Shen and I will be the robes of that pirate ship."
Bai Qi kowtowed another time and thanked the prince Long's affection before standing up. He sat opposite him at Gu Xianfo's instructions, saying that he was sitting down, but in fact only one-third of his butt was placed on the seat.
Gu Xianfo poked half of the salted duck egg in the bowl in front of the bowl with bamboo chopsticks. Seeing the golden egg oil flowing out, he felt inexplicably happy. He carefully poked the egg yolk into his mouth, and took a sip.
Bai Qi said carefully: "If the prince has an appetite, why not taste the sharp-horned sheep unique to our Yumen Pass? This clay pot of mutton was made by Wu Jiang, who was staring at the master of the palm. From killing the sheep to serving the table, Wu Jiang never left for a moment. It is guaranteed to be the purest sharp-horned mutton."
Gu Xianfo continued to eat his white radish shreds and smiled and said, "General Baizin is intent, but if I didn't eat meat when I got up in the morning, this rule would still be..."
Speaking of this, Gu Xianfo was stunned. This rule was something Hai Chan forced him to agree to. Although he had long since Xiliang returned, he had been thrown away by him, but he still remembered Hai Chan's words.
Things are right and people change, and the four simple words summarize how much wandering in this world is.
Gu Xianfo put down his chopsticks and sighed softly.
Although Bai Qi didn't know why Gu Xianfo sighed, he also knew that he had flattered himself on the horse's hoof. He immediately slapped himself hard and said in a deep voice: "I will make a mistake, please punish the prince!"
The slap was so fierce that a distinct slap immediately appeared on his face.
Gu Xianfo shook his head and said, "Mo Duoxin, it's not your fault for this matter. I am thinking too much. You just said that only half of the thieves at the 6,000 horses at Yumen Pass have the right to mobilize them?"
Bai Qi smiled bitterly and said, "It's better to put it in the future. If there is a pricking idea - that is, large caravans will come and go, the last general can gather 3,000 horse thieves to fight an ambush, but it is only limited to fighting such a smooth battle. If there is such a fierce battle, the last general can gather about 1,000 people. Don't think that the last general is the so-called "the 32 ridges of Yumen Pass" in the world. In fact, they are just false names. First, the Yumen Pass has been without a leader for a long time, and everyone wants a person who can match the situation. Second, the last general has had the support of Chang'an City, and the government has provided some convenience for the people, so that the people can take advantage of this opportunity to gain a firm foothold in Yumen Pass. But in the final analysis, most of the people who are horse thieves are wolf cubs who only recognize money but not people."
Gu Xianfo gently tapped the table and said, "Every family has a difficult sutra. It is indeed not easy for General Bai Shen to be in charge of mobilizing the 6,000 horse thieves. It is also a big number for people to eat horses every day. General Bai Shen, I am very curious, how did you hook up with Chang'an City?"
When talking about this sensitive topic, even though there was only a foreign girl in the cave who did not understand the official language of the Central Plains, Bai Qi still looked embarrassed. Gu Xianfo naturally would not be unable to get along with Bai Qi in such a trivial matter. He half turned around and smiled at Xiaoman who was squatting in the corner with a bitter face and drinking tea carefully. He reached out and pointed to the cave on one side. Although Xiaoman didn't understand the official language of the Central Plains, he was not stupid. He immediately held the remaining food and tea and carefully got into the cave inside and put down the curtain.
Bai Qi then lowered his voice and said, "Prince, this matter is still a bit strange now. At that time, a caravan with a population of about 800 had to pass Yumen Pass and enter Xiliang. The caravan with 800 people was the largest among all caravans in the past three years. Since the news of the MoJiang received, he has been secretly preparing to make his vote. He is not afraid of the prince's jokes when he said it. In the past few years, the horse thieves at Yumen Pass have been fishing out of the water, resulting in fewer and fewer caravans who dared to pass Yumen Pass, and the brothers have recovered less and less oil. Therefore, this caravan will be bound to win."
Gu Xianfo used bamboo chopsticks to fiddle with the spicy oil in the dishes and nodded without saying a word.
Bai Qi thought for a moment and continued to preach: "Three days before the caravan arrived at Yumen Pass, his subordinates had already figured out the general information of the caravan. This caravan belonged to the Sihai Commercial Bank of Boxie County. This time he used the banner to go to Xiliang to purchase horse skins. In fact, it was to sell private salt. At that time, the general thought that since this was a caravan that was openly repairing a plank road and secretly traveling to Chencang, even if the general cheated him, he would not dare to make a statement. So the general took more than 3,000 people and started on a dark and windy night for a month."
Gu Xianfo saw through this trick at a glance and smiled: "I guess you were only asking for money but not killing people, but unfortunately they still killed the people in the caravan in the chaos. Moreover, the caravans were pitiful and not enough for you, the three thousand horse thieves to share the spoils. The most important thing is that this time, the government responded very quickly to your caravans in the Sihai Commercial Bank. General Bai Gan, what I said is right?"
Bai Qi was dumbfounded, and after a while he admired, "The prince is so amazing. What the prince said just now is not bad!"
Gu Xianfo smiled and waved his hand to Bai Qi to continue, and poked a chopstick and put the chili oil in his mouth. The chili peppers at Yumenguan were indeed tasted enough. Just a little spicy oil kept pulling to the bottom of people's hearts.
Bai Qi smiled bitterly and said, "I believe the prince can guess what happened next. The government is really tight about this matter. We have lived a short life over the years and don't have much money to manage. I thought we would die. But that night, someone suddenly visited late at night. Of course, he did not come empty-handed. In addition to bringing three boxes of snowflakes, there was also a document of exemption. Even though he knew that the adults who depended on him were the only way to survive, he gritted his teeth and became a dog. Since then, the man has sent things to the ridge, sometimes food and sometimes weapons. The most recent time, he also sent horses, with only one purpose, which is to ask us to intercept the prince at all costs!"
Gu Xianfo smiled and nodded, and said softly: "I understand what General Bai Shen said, but I am even more curious. According to General Bai Shen, the big man in Chang'an City is quite good at talking to General Bai Shen. Why... I want to ask for help from this king?"
Bai Qi smiled bitterly again and said, "Why should the prince ask me knowingly? Although the general is stupid, he still understands the most basic principle. Why should Chang'an City send such a god? If the general insists on cooperating with Chang'an, we will die; if we fail, we will still be unable to escape death. Since Chang'an does not give us a way to live, the general will have to die to survive."
Gu Xianfo did not see the sad expression on Bai Qi's face, and lowered his head and slowly stirred the rice porridge in front of him with a spoon, as if he asked casually: "Since that's the case, how could General Bai Shen know how to cooperate with me... Isn't it a matter of making a fuck with the tiger?"
Bai Qi was silent for a moment, and sweat began to seep out of his forehead.
Gu Xianfo looked up at Bai Qi, smiling.
Bai Qi took a deep breath and said slowly: "Since the prince is open and honest, the general will not flatter the prince. The general is still in Yumen Pass, and it is quite a bit of a family fortune. This Yumen Pass is born to be a place where horse thieves are gathered. Even if the prince strangled us for this group, a new horse thieves will appear in less than three years. Rong Mo General said that it is good to be ruthless. There are too many people in this world who cannot survive, and there are not many horse thieves. The general thinks that the prince lacks is a Yumen Pass that although there are horse thieves, overall, it is still more stable, and a Yumen Pass that can enable Xiliang to trade with Dagan."
After saying this, Bai Qi's palms were soaked with sweat.
Is this considered wielding the emperor to command the princes?
