Wei Tuqi cannot be considered a bad person, it just means that he is a connoisseur of value and knows what is beautiful and what is ugly.
Why didn't he propose to someone else, but only to you? In the final analysis, it's because you are too beautiful and too detrimental to the country and the people.
Li Hong looked at Wei Tuqi. Apart from being a little older, he was fine in other aspects. He looked like a bear. Standing together with An Xiaohe, they were a typical beauty and the beast.
"You really don't know who I am?" Li Hong took two steps forward and patted Bai Qi's head lightly, asking him to stop grinning as if he was a wolf that could bite so many people.
Wei Tuqi looked a little flustered. The Grand Protector was a very high-ranking official. In the Western Regions, he was like a god. Naturally, he had never seen him before, so of course he didn't recognize him.
"I...know, I don't know." Wei Tuqi was a little unsure and said with some stammering.
"I don't know about that. It's a good thing to fulfill your duties, but it's not good to use your position to make things difficult for others. Send her goods over intact later." Li Hong said, looking at Wei Tuqi's guilty face.
"Yes." Wei Tuqi believed that the young man in front of him was the Grand Protector of Anxi Protectorate.
After all, not everyone can remain calm in the face of so many ferocious people, unless they have something to rely on.
...
...
But it looks like this wolf... this wolf is indeed a real one. Even if the boy is not the Grand Protector, he must be an important person around the Grand Protector. Otherwise, this wolf would not be so dedicated to protecting them.
Li Hong listened to the light "yes" from Wei Tuqi and smiled. He walked up to him and patted his shoulder: "It's hard for you to have such a strong physique. Are you interested in going to the Protectorate? My personal guard is still short of a captain."
Wei Tuqi couldn't help but make a gurgling sound in his throat. He looked at Li Hong with a guilty look on his face and murmured, "You are...?"
"That's the person you want to talk about. Go to Hua Meng in the mansion and take it to him. He will test you to see if you are capable of doing the job."
Li Hong took off Bai Qi's name tag from his neck and threw it to Wei Tuqi.
Such an action naturally aroused Bai Qi's dissatisfaction, and he made threatening sounds.
It was as if he was warning Wei Tuqi, "Don't lose it, it's made of pure gold."
Wei Tuqi weighed the pure gold nameplate in his hand, his expression was shocked, and he said, "Yes, I promise to live up to your expectations."
After saying that, he began to call upon the dozen or so people behind him to open the door, take out all of An Xiaohe's goods, and prepare to load them onto the truck for transportation.
Li Hong looked at An Xiaohe who was standing there motionless, walked over, took her hand, and started walking back.
An Xiaohe let Li Hong pull her back, still feeling unhappy. She originally thought that she could ask Li Hong to teach Wei Tuqi a lesson, but she didn't expect that in the end he would find a personal soldier for him.
No one would be happy about this matter. It is a typical case of losing more than gaining.
Watching the two men and the wolf leave, looking at their backs, Wei Tuqi wiped the sweat from his forehead in fear and said softly, "That was a close call."
"Boss, you have become very successful now, but you are the captain of the personal guard of the Grand Protector."
"Yes, Boss. To use the Tang language, it is a blessing in disguise for you."
"You are the captain of a team and you are in charge of fifty people. This is incredible. You have suddenly become the confidant of the Grand Protector."
Wei Tuqi listened to the whispers of several people who were moving goods, and naturally felt a little elated. After all, it was a great blessing to suddenly become the captain of the personal guard of the Grand Protector-General.
However, Yu Tuqi also knew that he would never have a chance to meet An Xiaohe, the swan from the Western Regions.
"Hurry up and work. I still have to go to the Governor's Office after finishing the work." Wei Tuqi shook his head, getting rid of those distracting thoughts. Now he had a goal to strive for.
Li Hong's personal guards were not equipped with 300 people according to the Tang Dynasty military system, but were always equipped with 200 people, divided into four teams.
Each squad consists of fifty people, led by a captain, and a regiment of two hundred people is led by a brave captain of the fifth rank.
A Guoyi Duwei, a fifth-rank official, he was the brigade commander of a large Zhechoufu.
"If something like this happens again in the future, let Xiaoxue help you. I'm the Grand Protector of Anxi Protectorate, and it's not even worth the money for me to run errands for such a small matter myself." Li Hong scolded An Xiaohe who was following behind him.
"It's all your fault. If you hadn't killed my father..."
"Are you done yet? Can't you change it to something else besides this?"
"Hmph, I won't change. Then you can bring my father back."
"As a local official, I have no say in the affairs of the court. Besides, your father has a good job in Chang'an." Li Hong avoided the question and spoke absentmindedly.
"Who are you?" An Xiaohe suddenly ran in front of him, her beautiful eyes bright and moving. She walked backwards while looking at Li Hong and asked.
"He is the Grand Protector of Anxi Protectorate."
"Who is Bai Chun? Is she beautiful? I heard from Xiaoxue and others that Bai Chun is very beautiful, even prettier than me. Is that true?" An Xiaohe backed away briskly, not afraid of bumping into anyone.
"This guy's sister is indeed prettier than you." Li Hong pointed at Bai Qi who was looking at him with rolled eyes and said.
"Then I must get to know her. Will she come to the Western Regions? Remember to tell me when the time comes. I want to recognize her as a sister." An Xiaohe looked relaxed and bright, without showing any of the talent that a woman should have at this moment: jealousy.
"Aren't you afraid that she is prettier than you?" Li Hong was a little surprised.
"Why should I be afraid? The girls around you, Xiaoxue, Xiazhi, Banmei, and Xunlan, are all beauties. I'm not afraid at all. I even like playing with them."
"That's true. They are indeed not worse looking than you." Li Hong kept staring at An Xiaohe who was jumping and walking backwards.
An Xiaohe's rapidly developing chest now had a landscape that she could be proud of. As she jumped, waves of flesh appeared on her chest, forcing Li Hong to look directly into An Xiaohe's eyes.
At the door of Xiaohe Teahouse, An Xiaohe's mother was already waiting there. When she saw the elf jumping back, she immediately smiled knowingly.
"Thank you very much, Grand Protector, for taking the trouble to come here in person."
"It's okay. She's just sitting there doing nothing. If she gets financially strapped or has difficulties in the future, let her come to the Governor's Office to find me." Li Hong waved his hand, said goodbye to An Xiaohe, and then led Bai Qi back.
This trip was totally not worth it. I was just being used as a tool for nothing.
But on second thought, it’s not so bad. At least I found a bear. If it’s good, it won’t be unfair.
When I returned to the Governor's Mansion and came to the backyard, I saw Hua Meng fighting with a tall man. Every move and shout seemed to carry the sound of wind and the aura of murder.
When Xiaoxue saw Li Hong coming back, she hurried over to him, spread out her jade hands, took out Bai Qi's pure gold nameplate, and said, "Master, just now someone brought this to Hua Meng, saying that you asked him to come and he wanted to be the captain of your personal guard, and Hua Meng was testing him."
"Put it on Bai Qi, you pervert, where is your big head?" Li Hong kicked Bai Qi.
This pervert, when he saw Xiaoxue squatting down to put the name tag on him, he rubbed his big head against Xiaoxue's plump and towering breasts.
"Awoo..." Bai Qi protested, he was misunderstood, it was Xiaoxue who hugged him too tightly and she was taking advantage of the baby.
Pei Xingjian did not delay. After resting for about an hour, he took his men away. Now he still needed to look after Li Zhapu personally.
Xue Rengui and Heichi Changzhi have now deployed their troops in the northwest direction to prevent Li Zhapu from breaking out from there and escaping to Tokharistan and other places.
Hua Meng had just taken a cold shower with the help of Xia Zhi and Ban Mei, and appeared at the door covered in sweat.
He threw a cup to Hua Meng, asked him to pour the wine himself, and then asked, "How is it?"
"Very good, brave and resourceful, a good talent, but if he wants to be in your personal guard, I'm afraid he needs more polishing, as he lacks the aura of killing."
After Hua Meng thanked Li Hong, he picked up the grape wine on the table and poured himself a glass.
"That's perfect. Quan Yi hasn't left yet, right? Let him take the fifty guards to the desert for some training." Li Hong said leisurely.
"Quan Yi is jealous. He has been hoping that I would be ruthless so that he can take the person away." Hua Meng said while standing and drinking grape wine.
"He has a nice idea. Tell him that a batch of goods will be shipped from Tubo in the near future and have already left Yumen Pass." After Li Hong finished speaking, he handed a letter from Bai Chun to Hua Meng.
It contains both the detailed route of "Jingwei" against the Tubo camel caravan and the detailed details of the cargo.
“Master…”
"We haven't found out yet. It's been more than a year, but we still haven't found out who the cement, crystal, and even soap and perfumed soap were supplied from." Li Hong bit his lip involuntarily, his brows twisted into a rope.
Li Hong held on to Loulan because it was the last stop for Western Region merchant caravans heading to various places after Yumen Pass. After that, they would enter a desert with few people and no smoke from cooking for thousands of miles.
After all the goods pass through the Yumen Pass checkpoint, they need to be checked again, because until now, the cement can still be transported out from the Central Plains one after another.
But in more than a year, he has not found out where these people got these things from.
And the person hiding in the dark in the Central Plains seemed to be a lingering ghost. He knew that he would fail every time, but he still transported the goods blatantly, as if to provoke him.
Once Pei Xingjian captures Li Zhapo, he will have to set off soon. By then, Loulan will be without him.
I'm afraid that the person inside Yumen Pass who seems to be deliberately against me will transport cement and other goods here even more unscrupulously.
"This must be supported by strong financial resources. Otherwise, each shipment of cement would cost a lot of money. Where would they get so much money to squander?" Li Hong frowned, unable to figure out the reason.
