9. Fighting horns and hooks (8)
The envoy sent by the Western Qiang was Qi Zhai, which had been reported before he arrived in Kyoto. Therefore, when He Rongjin saw Qi Zhai, he did not show any surprise, but saluted respectfully.
Qi Zhai slightly opened his body as if he was giving a gift to Etulu, and smiled and said, "It turns out that the little Khan's mansion is hidden in it. You can tell that it is not an ordinary person at first glance."
Quezhu said: "This is the head of the mansion, He Rongjin and Etulu."
Qi Zhai recited the names of the two people awkwardly.
Quezhu said: "He Rongjin is well versed in the Western Qiang language. If the envoy does not abandon it, he will lead the way."
Qi Zhai retreated the translator he brought from the Western Qiang, looked at He Rongjin with a smile and said, "Then it's a blessing."
He Rongjin clasped his fists in Turkic words and said, "A person with broken legs greeted the noble envoys of the Western Qiang, which would lose his national constitution."
Quezhu didn't say anything, just looked at his eyes and narrowed slightly.
Qi Zhai's eyes turned between the two inadvertently, and turned around and pointed at the door with a smile: "The Turkic gate is very similar to my Western Qiang." He spoke in the Western Qiang language. Except for Qi Zhai himself, only the translator and He Rongjin he brought with him could understand. The translator had been resigned by Qi Zhai before, so naturally he would not come forward rashly at this time, so everyone's eyes fell on He Rongjin.
He Rongjin sighed inwardly and said his words in Turkic words.
Quezhu smiled and said, "This further shows that the Turks, Western Qiang and other countries are brothers."
Qi Zhai said: "What the little Khan said is very true!"
The two looked at each other and laughed. Although they needed someone to explain their communication, they didn't need to smile.
Quezhu led the way, Qi Zhai followed closely behind, and Etulu pushed He Rongjin's wheelchair and walked at the end with the interpreter.
The Turkic mansion was not as particular as the people in the Central Plains, and it was over. Quezhu arranged him near He Rongjin's room, and Qi Zhai sent the translator away very casually. This surprised Quezhu. After all, Qi Zhai was speechless, so the translator who sent him away undoubtedly handed over his mouth and mouth in the mansion to the Little Khan's Mansion. This can be said to be a great trust. Therefore, when Qi Zhai proposed to ask two servants who were used to live with him, Quezhu agreed immediately.
"Little Khan has a lot of things to do every day. He doesn't have to accompany me, so he just asks this manager to talk to me." Qi Zhai said.
Quezhu really wanted to repay Qi Zhai's words and deeds in the mansion to Shanari, so he agreed. Before leaving, he said to He Rongjin: "The envoys of the Western Qiang are related to the friendship between the Turks and the Western Qiang, so the envoys must feel at home."
"Yes." He Rongjin whispered.
Quezhu stared at his hanging head and wanted to explain something, but with Qi Zhai on his side, she could not speak freely.
After Quezhu and Etulu left, only Qi Zhai and He Rongjin were left in the room.
Qi Zhai walked to the door, listened carefully for a while before turning around and saluting He Rongjin, "Qi Zhai has seen General He Gu."
He Rongjin lowered his head without any response.
Qi Zhai said: "The general suffers."
He Rongjin snored softly.
Qi Zhai's lips moved, and finally sighed, turned around and sat down on the chair, waiting quietly for He Rongjin to wake up.
This wait was one afternoon.
In the evening, Quezhu personally invited Qi Zhai to have dinner together.
Qi Zhai couldn't understand Turkic words. He looked back at He Rongjin, but found that he had woken up at some point and was translating with a smile.
"It's better to obey your orders than respect." Qi Zhai glanced at He Rongjin and walked out.
Quezhu waved his hand, and the servant behind him immediately stepped forward to help He Rongjin push the wheelchair.
He Rongjin naturally could not serve at a dinner like this, so he could only sit among the two as an interpreter.
Qi Zhai showed interest in the customs and customs of the Turks, and asked questions from time to time, and Quezhu patiently answered them one by one.
Although the meal lasted for a long time, it was very pleasant.
After dinner, the concierge reported that the two men claimed to be envoys of the Western Qiang and wanted to see Qi Zhai.
Qi Zhai said, "It must be my servants who have arrived. Let them wait in my room. I will go back now." He paused and said, "Or, let them meet the little Khan first?"
Quezhu smiled disconcerted and said, "The envoy was exhausted and it was very hard, so I won't disturb the envoy's rest." After that, he called the servants to take him back to his room.
Before leaving, Qi Zhai looked at He Rongjin. Seeing that he had no intention of following him, he sighed invisibly and turned back to the room.
After Quezhu waited for him to leave, she said, "Come and eat."
He Rongjin took off the gourd and took a sip and said, "I only greedy for wine, not delicious food."
Quezhu frowned and said, "Drinking alcohol on an empty stomach hurts your body."
He Rongjin said: "It's sad not to drink."
Quezhu said, "I remember when I first met you, you were not so addicted to alcohol."
He Rongjin said: "When I was not under the command of the little Khan, I didn't have so much spare money to drink wine every day."
"In that case, did I harm you?"
"No, the little Khan stopped a wine thief." He Rongjin raised his hand to drink, but was held down by Quezhu.
Quezhu grabbed a piece of meat and sent it to his mouth.
He Rongjin stretched out his left hand and took the meat over before stuffing it into his mouth.
"I will stay in the study until midnight tonight. You can come to me if you have anything." Quezhu stood up, "You can also talk to me."
I'm afraid what he needs now is not heart-to-heart talk...but be careful.
He Rongjin touched the gourd, her eyes covered with clouds.
Late at night.
People are quiet.
Mid-hour has not arrived.
The door of He Rongjin's room was gently opened. He held the wooden stick he ordered to find in one hand, jumped out of the door, and then gently covered it.
The full moon is in the sky, and the white light is like frost.
This is naturally not conducive to night travel, but He Rongjin can no longer wait.
He was about to jump up to the roof with a wooden stick, but suddenly he heard the sound of footsteps in his ears. He moved his heart and immediately turned around and pushed the door. But it was too late, and Quezhu's voice had already come from the other end of the corridor, "So late at night, where do the manager want to go?"
He Rongjin slowly turned around and said, "I can't sleep. I remembered that Xiao Khan once said that if I had something to come to you, I thought of going to the study to have some wine and talk to Xiao Khan."
Quezhu said, "Then why did you turn around when you walk to the door?"
He Rongjin said: "I suddenly remembered that Xiao Khan said that he would fall asleep at midnight and look at the sky. It was approaching. I dare not disturb Xiao Khan's rest."
Quezhu said: "Your reasons are very good."
He Rongjin said: "Everything I say is true."
"Is that right? Including you broke your leg when you stepped down the ladder?" Quezhu said.
He Rongjin said: "If a person fails, a horse will fail. In life, he will inevitably do a few stupid things that even he doesn't want to remember."
Quezhu said: "Do you really think I am so clumsy that I can't even tell whether my legs are broken or broken?"
He Rongjin said: "There are tens of millions of wounds, and there are always one or two cases that are special."
Quezhu slowly walked up to him and frowned and said, "What are you afraid of?"
"Fear? If you say you are afraid, the only thing I am afraid of is that you don't have alcohol to drink."
Quezhu said: "I have taken back the ban."
"Thank you little Khan."
"Then should you take back your mind to leave?"
He Rongjin said: "I don't understand what Xiao Khan means."
"From you let go of the important matters of General Sheng Wen and guide the newcomers everywhere, I know what you think." Quezhu lowered her voice and said word by word, "But I didn't expect that you would really make up your mind to leave."
He Rongjin lowered her eyes and said, "There is a banquet that will end in the world."
Quezhu took a deep breath, as if she was making a very difficult decision, and said for a while: "If I want you to stay?"
He Rongjin raised his eyes and looked at him with a burning look at him. He suddenly realized that the misunderstanding that day had become uncontrollable. He wanted to explain, but he didn't know where to start. Because he clarified one, he had to admit the other, which made him more difficult to accept than clarification. When he was in a dilemma, he heard a footstep.
A footstep that was so familiar that it made him creepy.
Quezhu raised her hand, gently stroked his face and said, "Rong Jin, I hope you stay."
Due to his sudden shock in his heart, when He Rongjin reacted, Quezhu's hand had already been withdrawn. "It's late at night, don't go to bed late."
He slowly left, leaving only the strange touch on his face, and...
The unignorable anger from behind.
