Bai Shan nodded, and he said: "After two days, we will settle the rest of the money to you?"
Da Yu laughed immediately, "It's easy to talk about."
In this way, it would be difficult for them to live together again. He decided to take someone to find the inn again when he went back, and he could move out tomorrow.
Alas, the places where these aristocratic masters live are too expensive.
After this matter was finished, everyone talked about other things. Nie Canjun said, "We don't need to go to the barracks here?"
Bai Shan nodded, "Go to Duhu Mansion tonight, if General Guo brings up this matter, I will explain it."
If they didn't mention it, they naturally didn't need to mention it on purpose, but the other party acquiesced at that time.
Nie Canjun was relieved, and now he had time to worry about other things, "Why does General Guo seem to have a problem with our mission?"
Everyone turned their heads to look at Liu Huan.
Liu Huan: "... why do you look at me, I, I'm still a child, I don't know anything."
The youngest Zhou Liru couldn't help despising him, "You're still a child at this age?"
Mr. Zhuang smiled and told him, "When you go to Duhu Mansion, follow Bai Shan and the others, don't go alone."
Liu Huan agreed.
Mr. Zhuang continued, "Don't drink the drinks from the Duhu Mansion indiscriminately. In short, you eat what Bai Shan and the others eat. Be careful."
Liu Huan complied, but he always felt that the instructions were very familiar, much like what his grandmother told his cousins.
Such a comparison made Liu Huan feel a little frustrated.
In the end, Mr. Zhuang only took two bolts of cloth and went to the banquet. There was no way. Although they had a lot of things, this kind of commodity was the most. They really didn't bring any interesting local products.
The Anxi Protectorate's Mansion was located in the former palace of Gaochang.
The entire palace was converted into a yamen for handling affairs, and General Guo's family lived in the palace.
Although the Gaochang Palace is still far inferior to the palace in the capital, it is also extremely luxurious, far better than ordinary Jiedu ambassadors' mansions.
The main reason is that the door is too high and too big, which has already violated the regulations, but General Guo, who lives inside, seems to have no intention of changing it.
They entered the palace... oh no, after entering the mansion, there were servants to guide them. Fortunately, they entered through the side entrance. Once they entered, it was the place where General Guo's family lived. If they entered through the front entrance, they would have to pass through many yamen Just arrived at the place of work.
After Hou Ji invaded the royal family of Gaochang, they ransacked a lot, but they couldn't take away such things as houses, and many things inside were not damaged, so they saw a lot of strange scenes along the way.
The banquet was held in a large hall, which seemed to be the main hall of the original royal family. The room was quite large, with desks and couches on the left and right sides. Fortunately, the desk at the head was not high above, otherwise Zhou Man would have to consider whether to give it to him or not. The emperor complained that General Guo had plotted against the law.
Man Bao breathed a sigh of relief, she didn't like getting involved in such things at all.
Bai Shan didn't like it either, so after they sat down in their seats, they fell silent.
General Guo didn't seem to want to embarrass them in terms of seats, and Zhou Man's official rank was considered high in the Western Regions. As for the fifth rank, General Guo and the two lieutenants in the army were above her. The rest, including Guo All orders are under her.
Little General Meng also came early, because he was here to support, he was considered a guest, and he got a good seat, just diagonally opposite Liu Huan, as soon as he saw them, he got up slowly, clutching his stomach, and walked over to say hello , "Master Zhou, I still want to find you."
Man Bao's eyes fell on his stomach, and asked: "The wound is open again?"
Little General Meng let out a "hiss". He had split once when he charged, and the second suture felt more painful than the first time. He said, "It didn't split, but it was bleeding."
He lowered his voice and said, "Doctor Zhou, I don't think my wound medicine is as good as you used before."
Man Bao said: "There is notoginseng powder added in that one, it has already been used up."
Little General Meng looked regretful, and Man Bao said: "But I plan to make some more hemostatic ointment and hemostatic powder. Although there is no Panax notoginseng, the effect should be better than yours. Later, you can send someone to come to me to get them."
After finishing speaking, he warned: "Little General Meng, you can't drink alcohol or eat too greasy things at the moment, and you can't move around casually."
She said quietly: "You shouldn't have come to the banquet."
Little General Meng said, "...that can't be helped, this is a dust-cleaning banquet specially organized by General Guo for me, if I don't come, it will be too disrespectful to him, and it will be difficult to explain to my father later."
"It's no wonder that you people who fought in the war always have all kinds of hidden wounds and old diseases, not only because you are always injured, but also because you haven't been properly taken care of when you are injured." Man Bao paused and said: "But tonight's banquet is not for Is it the dust-cleaning banquet organized by our mission?"
General Meng: "...the steward clearly said it was for me."
Man Bao: "Coincidentally, the steward also said that it is for our mission."
The two stared at each other.
Bai Shandao: "There's nothing to argue about. The two sides just got together. That's what General Guo said. You can just listen to it. Tonight is mainly to connect with each other and prepare for the next dispatch of troops to Kucha, right?"
Little General Meng turned to look at him, "How do you know?" Guo Zhao had told him about this in private.
Bai Shan raised his chin, and motioned them to look at the generals who were standing not far away and talking together, "They were too loud, and they kept scolding Kucha for not knowing what to do, and they were still as sweet as honey before next year." , it’s just a rumor, and after a year, they will speak ill of each other.”
Little General Meng was still a little confused, unable to react, "What rumors?"
"Your Majesty also got smallpox. Isn't it rumored in the Western Regions?" Bai Shan looked at him curiously and asked, "Why, you don't know?"
"Oh, I know." Little General Meng looked indifferent, of course he knew, Guo Zhao had mentioned these things to him, but why did Bai Shan know everything
Obviously no one told him about this.
Bai Shan had already turned his head and said to Man Bao: "We'll find someone later and ask them. If it's close to Kucha, we'd better take Nie Canjun and them."
Man Bao nodded.
Little General Meng couldn't help but ask, "Who are you looking for?"
Bai Shan said: "A group of people."
So perfunctory
Little General Meng still wanted to ask, but Bai Shan had already changed the topic with a smile, and asked, "Does Little General Meng want to stay and participate in the Battle of Kucha?"
Little General Meng was silent for a while before he said: "Since I'm here, I naturally follow General Guo's orders."
However, General Guo is likely to transfer him to deter the Tubo army so that they dare not attack when the Anxi army attacks Kucha.
The reason why the Anxi army asked for help at this time was firstly to reopen the trade route, and secondly because they would not be able to guarantee the rear if they wanted to attack Qiuci.
