Qi Kuo ate his meal tastelessly, took a few bites, then put down the bowls and chopsticks, got up to pack his luggage.

The servant asked: "Master, do you want to eat?"

Qi Kuo said: "Don't eat it, take it away."

After collecting it for a while, he put the things down again: "Selaginella, hold the lamp, I'm going to the master's side."

The servant called Selaginella hurriedly went to light the lantern: "Okay, young master."

Qi Kuo didn't live with his uncle, who had many children and was too noisy, plus his special habit, which was unsightly, so after entering the Imperial Medical Center, he rented another house outside.

Qi Kuo's uncle, Qi Yue, has opened a medical clinic in the capital for more than ten years, and he has taken root, and his medical skills are quite good.What's rare is that Qi Kuo treats Qi Kuo as his own, loves him very much, and is heartbroken about his nephew's marriage.A while ago, my hometown sent a letter, saying that he had found a girl who matched Qi Kuo's horoscope, and he was very happy. No, he was planning to take Qi Kuo back to his hometown to propose marriage.

Seeing Qi Kuo coming, Qi Yue was very happy: "Have Kuo'er eaten?"

"Already eaten, uncle."

Qi Yue said, "Come and have a cup of tea with uncle."

Qi Kuo glanced at his aunt and cousins ​​who were enjoying the cool with his uncle, and said, "Uncle, I have something to say to you."

Qi Yue stood up: "Go to the study."

After entering the study, Qi Yue looked at his nephew: "Tell me, what's the matter?"

Qi Kuo licked his lips and said, "Uncle, I'm going to Chang'an tomorrow."

"So fast? Didn't you say you could stay for a while?" Qi Yue looked at him in surprise.

Qi Kuo said: "His Majesty issued an imperial decree temporarily, requesting to go to Chang'an as soon as possible. I can't go back to my hometown."

Qi Yue said: "You can't go back, then I'll go back and propose marriage for you."

Qi Kuo shook his head hurriedly: "Don't mention it, I don't know when I will be back after I go, don't delay the girl."

Qi Yue was in a hurry: "You kid, what nonsense are you talking about? You finally met a suitable one. How could you miss it? After passing this village, I'm afraid there will be no such shop. Don't you want to get married?"

Qi Kuo's throat slipped: "My nephew is gone, maybe he won't come back for several years, we can't let people wait forever. Thank you uncle for worrying about my nephew these years, and my nephew will remember it in my heart."

Qi Yue looked at him with a complicated expression: "You can't stay in the Imperial Medical Center and not go to Chang'an?"

Qi Kuo said: "The imperial court arranged for me to go, and I can't refuse. Besides, I specialize in trauma, and the battlefield is the best place to go. The robes need me even more."

Qi Yue was still unwilling to let him go: "You are just a doctor, how dangerous it is to run on the battlefield."

"It is precisely because I am a doctor that I should appear on the battlefield. There are more lives that I need to save. Uncle, that's it. I'm going back to pack my bags."

Qi Kuo didn't wait for his uncle to answer him, then turned and left. He was afraid that if he stayed for a while, he would not be able to refuse. After all, his uncle was the closest person in the world to him.

But he still wants to follow his own way of life, to be more comfortable, more willful, and more pursuing.

He originally thought that marriage was the order of the elders and the words of the matchmaker, and he cultivated feelings after becoming relatives.However, seeing Meng Sigui's childhood sweetheart, General Guan and Mr. Su also got to know each other first before staying together, how could he not be envious?

At least before you get married, you know each other and understand each other. You don't have to get married to know what the other person looks like, let alone understand each other. Whether you like it or not, you have to face each other all your life.

So I decided to go to Chang'an, it's hard to say that I didn't want to escape from something.

On the next day, a carriage came out of Qi Kuo's small courtyard, and it was Xiao Yao's personal companion: "My lord asked me to ask if Doctor Qi is going to Chang'an. If so, I will give you a ride."

Qi Kuo looked at his entourage, and glanced behind the carriage: "Where is the prince?"

The entourage said: "Your Majesty is practicing for the prince. They have already gone to the riverside. Is Doctor Qi going?"

Qi Kuo said, "Wait a minute."

He turned and went back to the house, took the package he had prepared and got into the car.Before leaving, he told Selaginella to return the house, anyway, he will not come back in a few years, and if he comes back, he will rent it again.

Under the shade of willows by the river, Xiao Yu and his brother Xiao Yao were sitting on the ground. Xiao Yu said, "There's no need to be in such a hurry. I haven't had a good rest for a few days."

Xiao Yao chuckled: "The faster I leave, the better it is for the emperor, and the sooner you will be reunited with General Pei."

The corners of Xiao Yu's mouth raised uncontrollably when he heard the words: "But it's not too late, why not stay a few more days? Your body has just recovered, and you have to travel again."

Xiao Yao turned his head and looked at the official road behind him, and said, "Some things cannot be kept."

"What's the matter?" Xiao Yu asked curiously, noticing that Xiao Yao had been looking behind him, he turned his head too, "Dr. Qi is here?"

Xiao Yao pretended not to care, "I don't know."

"Is he not going to Chang'an?" Xiao Yu raised his eyebrows and asked.

Xiao Yao said: "I don't know whether to go or not, and I didn't give me a definite answer."

Xiao Yu squinted at him: "If he doesn't go, then you just leave?"

Xiao Yao sighed: "If he doesn't go, can I kidnap him?"

Xiao Yu patted him on the shoulder: "Don't worry, I think he will definitely go." Qi Kuo loves surgery so much, it is impossible for him to give up this opportunity.

"Who knows." Xiao Yao really didn't have any confidence in his heart. Marriage is a major event in life, and no one but himself would know what Qi Kuo would choose.

The carriage soon approached, Xiao Yao pretended to be calm, neither got up nor looked back, but pricked up his ears to listen to the movement behind him.

He jumped off the horse and said, "Doctor Qi, we're here."

This sentence was not loud, but Xiao Yao heard it clearly. The corner of his mouth was raised, and then he pulled it down abruptly. He stood up slowly, patted the robe on his body, and then turned around, looking at the Qi Kuo held a burden in his hand: "Hey, little doctor Qi has figured it out?"

Qi Kuo glanced at him, and hurriedly bowed to Xiao Yu beside him: "I've seen Your Majesty!"

Xiao Yu could hear that Xiao Yao's voice when talking to Qi Kuo was obviously much more cheerful. He stood up and said to Qi Kuo, "Excuse me. Doctor Qi has not been back for a few days, and he will return to Chang'an again. Thank you! Ah Yao, Doctor Qi is a rare good doctor, and he must be taken care of and cultivated well."

Xiao Yao grinned amusedly: "Don't worry, brother emperor, the minister will save it naturally. Now that everyone is here, we will board the ship."

Xiao Yu said: "Go, be careful on the road, take care of yourself, and take care of each other."

So Xiao Yao led Qi Kuo and his entourage into the boat. When he came back, the boat was not big, but when he left, it was a huge merchant ship.

Standing at the bow of the boat, Xiao Yao waved goodbye to Xiao Yu who was on the shore until the people on the shore could no longer be seen, and the people on the deck dispersed one after another.

Xiao Yao looked back at Qi Kuo who was behind him: "I thought little Doctor Qi would not come."

Qi Kuo said, "Why don't you come?"

Xiao Yao said: "Your uncle is not going to take you back to propose marriage, I thought you would stay and marry."

Qi Kuo blushed slightly: "No."

"Don't mention it?"

"Ah."

Xiao Yao grinned happily, pretending to be sorry: "Ah, it's not easy to come across a match, it would be a pity to miss it!"

Qi Kuo squinted at him: "Didn't the prince teach me that it's superstition?"

Xiao Yao's face beamed with joy: "It's really a superstition. You just refused, and your uncle agreed? He didn't say anything?"

Qi Kuo said: "The prince is so interested in his subordinate's private affairs?"

Xiao Yao narrowed his expression: "I care about my subordinates, His Majesty has already said that he will take care of you."

Qi Kuo turned around: "Since the prince wants to take care of his subordinates, why don't you find a marriage for me after arriving in Chang'an."

Xiao Yao smiled happily: "Okay, just wrap it on me."

Qi Kuo's cabin is next door to Xiao Yao's, so he doesn't seem surprised.After entering the cabin, I opened the small window and looked at the passing scenery outside. For some reason, I felt a sense of relief. Sure enough, I felt more comfortable without the elders around me.

After Xiao Yao left Chang'an and returned to Beijing, Pei Linzhi began to negotiate with Tuyuhun. In order to show sincerity, Pei Linzhi and Tuyuhun Shanyu negotiated in a small border town between the two countries.

The process was trivial and lengthy, but Pei Rinzhi insisted on the principle of getting more and more, fighting for every cent.Naturally, An Guo took over the former Xirong's territory, and those who were taken over by Tuyuhun taking advantage of the chaos were also returned.

Tuyuhun also ceded to Anguo a piece of mountain land next to Weizhou and Dangxiang, which is not within Tuyuhun's actual control range, and Dangxiang people often haunt it.Giving up to Anguo, on the one hand, is to repay Anguo for helping to restore the country, and on the other hand, he actually wants to divert the disaster of Dangxiang to the east, so that Anguo can directly confront Dangxiang.

Could it be that Pei Linzhi didn't know what he was planning, but since he gave it away for nothing, there's no reason not to, Dongxirong has never been afraid, and he is afraid of other party members?

Tuyuhun Shanyu also promised to provide Anguo with [-] horses every year, of course at market prices.Pei Linzhi agreed to communicate with Tuyuhun in the border market for business and trade. Tuyuhun needs tea, porcelain and other daily necessities, while Anguo needs Tuyuhun's mules, furs, medicinal materials, etc.

In the future, if the overland Silk Road is connected through the Tuyuhun territory, Anguo merchants will enjoy the same preferential treatment as Tuyuhun merchants.

After he finished all the details, Xiao Yao came back.Pei Linzhi was completely overjoyed: "Why did you come so fast?!"

Xiao Yao said foolishly: "If I don't come quickly, I will be killed by the resentful eyes of the emperor's brother."

Pei Linzhi knew he was joking: "Your Majesty is not such a person!"

Xiao Yao smiled and said, "You don't believe that my brother misses you day and night?"

"Of course I do, but he will never blame you." Is there anyone who knows Xiao Yu better than him, "Since you have arrived, I will hand over the affairs to you and prepare to go back."

Xiao Yao said: "It's better to go back as soon as possible. There is a Yellow River as a barrier between Dongrong and Dongrong. The places with greater pressure are Yuzhou, Yongzhou and Yanzhou, which are adjacent to Dongrong. If you sit in town there, they will be afraid of three times." points, don’t dare to act rashly.”
