After looking at each other for a moment, Chang Sui Ning Si finally confirmed that the person who suddenly appeared in front of her was not an illusion.
Then she also dismounted.
Cui Jing subconsciously raised his hand to help her, but saw that she was still agile and jumped down steadily.
He then took his hand back silently.
The next moment, the girl looked at him seriously with her clear almond-shaped eyes and said, "You have lost weight."
Cui Jing's eyes fell on her head for a moment, and she said warmly: "You're cumming."
"Maybe it's because I didn't open an umbrella inside the house?" Chang Sui Ning said matter-of-factly.
Cui Jing was stunned for a moment, then smiled: "Well, that's right."
Chang Suining looked at him with a smile on his face.
Just when she was about to say something, Lieutenant Bai, who dismounted from his horse and came quickly, made a surprised voice: "... Governor Cui?!"
He and Cui Jing had known each other in Beijing, and Cui Jing trusted him very much, so Chang Suining had "borrowed a horse" from him before.
They didn't know each other. At first he just borrowed the horse, but now he has also "borrowed" himself and is about to become one of Chang Sui Ning's right-hand men.
Cui Jing and Lieutenant Bai nodded.
Lieutenant Bai quickly saluted him, and then lowered his voice and asked, "How come Governor Cui is here?"
"By secret decree."
Colonel Bai was surprised and breathed a sigh of relief.
I see.
He thought that Governor Cui was suffering from a bone disease and that he would leave his post without permission and come all the way to secretly see General Ningyuan!
Soon, the people brought by Chang Suining all stepped forward to salute Cui Jing. Most of them had not had the chance to see Cui Jing's true appearance. At this moment, facing this prestigious General Xuance Army, they all had bright eyes and a look of excitement.
Admiration, respect and curiosity.
Colonel Bai was about to speak, but was suddenly cut off by Yuan Xiang who came over: "...Have Lieutenant Bai brought Thief Xu's head back?"
Captain Bai: "Of course!"
He was hanging right away.
Yuanxiang's eyes were eager: "Can you let me take a look too?"
Captain Bai: "?"
It’s just a human head, what’s so good about it?
But Yuanxiang had already taken him away and called the brothers of Xuance Army to come and see him too.
Everyone had gone, and the people Chang Suining had brought stood in front of Cui Jing. After bowing, they all left and gathered around to look at Xu Thief's head. Although... they didn't know what the value of this thing was.
Not to mention the ornamental value.
But life in the military is all about being gregarious.
Seeing this, Chang Sui Ning, as the holder of Xu Thief's head and as the "master", warmly invited Cui Jing: "Do you want Governor Cui to come and take a look?"
Cui Jing: "...That's not necessary."
As he spoke, he raised his right hand and took off his cloak.
The cloak fluttered in the wind, carrying the clean and refreshing smell of grass, and fell on Chang Sui Ning's body.
Chang Suining raised his head slightly in astonishment and looked at the young man in front of him.
But he lowered his eyes and did not look at her, his eyes only fixed on his fingers tying her cloak.
There was no expression on his face, because he had a pair of particularly cold eyebrows. When he didn't express any expression, he looked very calm and indifferent. But only he knew clearly. At this moment, under her serious gaze that seemed to be inquiring, he saw
He seems to be meticulous, but in fact he is beating a drum in his heart.
This weird feeling that shouldn't appear in him only occurs when facing her.
But in comparison, it is more important to tie her a cloak.
She was wearing armor, but because she had been on the water, the robe under the armor had never been dry, and there were still drops of water hanging on the corners of the robe.
When the wind blows in spring, there is still a bit of chill.
But at this moment, this three-point chill was blocked by this cloak.
Cui Jing withdrew her hand, seemed calm, and said randomly: "Okay."
"Thank you." Chang Sui Ning raised the end of his smiling eyes and raised his hand to lift out the ponytail hair that was under the cloak at the back of his neck.
Her hair was also half-wet, and she had lost it somewhere during the pursuit of Xu Zhengye.
Cui Jing looked at the blood on her body, face and hands: "Are there any serious injuries?"
There is no need to ask, "Are there any injuries?" Since she was pursuing Xu Zhengye personally during such a close attack, injuries were unavoidable. She must have suffered a lot of injuries.
Chang Suining shook his head: "They are just minor injuries."
But Cui Jing still said: "It's better to get on the horse and talk."
He looked at her and said slowly: "Thank you for your hard work."
"It's a little bit." Chang Sui Ning exhaled lightly, with a relaxed smile on his face.
She really couldn't walk anymore, so she listened to the advice and climbed back on the horse again.
She subconsciously looked in the direction of Bianzhou and Luoyang.
In fact, it was more than a little hard work, it was very hard work, but if I could kill Xu Zhengye, it would be "worth it".
In Bianzhou and Luoyang, not a single plant or tree was affected.
In the land of Jiangnan, those displaced people will soon be able to go home again. The pain that has been caused can no longer be undone, but being able to go home is the greatest comfort at the moment.
When Chang Suining looked into the distance, his fingers subconsciously grabbed the reins, but missed it.
She looked away and saw that the reins were already in Cui Jing's hands.
He was beside her, holding her horse and walking forward slowly.
Chang Suining was surprised and stretched out his hand: "How can I ask you to hold the horse for me? I should do it myself."
After all, he is the high-ranking general of the Xuance Army, and many people are watching from behind.
"Why not?" Cui Jing looked forward without squinting: "You are General Ning Yuan who has made extraordinary achievements again. Anyone can lead your horse."
Her hands were injured and the reins were rough.
He didn't care about the looks of other people or his subordinates, or in other words, he didn't think it was beneath his dignity to hold the horse for her.
Seeing him like this, Chang Sui Ning no longer insisted on taking the reins back. It happened that she had something to ask him.
At this moment, everything has been settled and there is no need to worry. The soldiers and horses are very tired. They walk slowly and take a rest.
Cui Jing was leading the horse for Chang Suining. Bai Xiaowei Yuanxiang and others, as well as dozens of Xuance troops brought by Cui Jing, were behind. Many of them were leading the horses or sitting on the horses and walking slowly.
As the horses walked, they swung their tails and nibbled on the tender grass.
Having just experienced a bloody war, this short leisure at this moment is even more precious.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! The scenery along this journey is very beautiful, with clear wind and green grass, far away from human habitation. Both people and horses can feel the natural gift from heaven and earth during this journey.
Soothe and heal.
And being too relaxed is not a good thing. The nearly a hundred men and horses following behind stretched their heads to look at the two men and one horse in front, wishing they could break their necks.
Lieutenant Bai looked very calm and did not show any signs of scratching his head and head, but he once again felt regretful that "I wish I could not be born as a fly in order to realize the freedom of gossip".
As for why they didn’t take a closer look? Did they not want to?
No, it was Yuan Xiang who was not sure.
Yuan Xiang walked in front of them, like a shepherd's hound, watching over the sheep behind him and not allowing any sheep to leave the team.
The Grand Governor finally got to see Mrs. Chang. He did not allow any sheep, no, anyone to disturb the Grand Governor and Mrs. Chang's conversation.
No gossip was allowed at close range, so everyone had no choice but to fawn over Yuan Xiang, talking about Brother Yuan Xiang, trying to get something from Yuan Xiang, even if it was just scraps.
Yuan Xiang's status today is particularly outstanding.
Everyone was whispering behind each other and divided into two factions in a tacit understanding. The Xuance Army belonged to the enthusiastic and unrestrained faction, while the "Ningyuan Army" was 50% reserved and 30% reserved. They never expected that they would be able to show up in front of Xuance Army in their lifetime.
A sense of superiority born out of two points.
The bold faction repeatedly praised enthusiastically: "Your General Ningyuan is really powerful..."
When he mentioned his own Grand Governor, he acted like a grandma selling melons: "You see, our Grand Governor has so much work in his eyes!"
He gave me a cloak, and he led a horse... He was so attentive that he could stupefy several Qinghe Cui clan members at random.
"Did you intercept Xu Zhengye's 10,000 elite cavalry?" Chang Suining asked Cui Jing.
"Yes." Cui Jing answered her: "I secretly dispatched a thousand subordinates to intercept Xu Zhengye's cavalry."
Chang Suining looked at him.
Trying to use one thousand to stop ten thousand would be judged as arrogant and ignorant if anyone else said this, but he is Cui Jing, and he leads the Xuance Army.
If an ordinary Xuance army can block ten of them, then in his hands, one can defeat a hundred.
As the saying goes, a thousand troops are easy to get, but a general is hard to find. This is exactly the case.
Chang Suining asked him again: "How come you know their marching route so well?"
In the past, when she talked to him, she would always use the words "Captain Cui" in every word, but after saying goodbye that night in Tiannv Pagoda, she knew that he knew her secret. At this moment, no one else was around, so she tacitly changed her mind and changed her mind naturally.
a title.
She said "Cui Jing" on the left and "you" on the right. Others might think it was a bit rude, but to Cui Jing, it was particularly pleasant to their ears.
When answering her questions, his tone was particularly gentle and patient: "It's not difficult to know their marching route."
At least it's not difficult for him.
Chang Suining asked again: "Have those Xu troops surrendered to you?"
"They have surrendered, but they are still in the rear and are being taken here." Cui Jing explained to her: "What you just saw was not Xu's army, but bandits wearing Xu's military uniforms."
Chang Suining looked at him: "bandit?"
Cui Jing told her what happened: "On the way from the north, I encountered a group of bandits blocking the road and trying to steal my horse..."
There is no need to go into details about the process. In short, in the end, these bandits packed up their belongings and surrendered to follow him.
Chang Suining: "..."
When you were robbed, you had nothing, but after you were robbed, your family and business became great?
These bandits also know how to pick people to rob.
Cui Jing: "There are many capable people among these people. It is not their wish to become bandits. If you don't dislike their background, you can use them for your own purposes and let them stay under your command in the future."
So, does this count as kidnapping someone for her?
Chang Suining, who was short of talents, thanked Cui Jing rudely.
Therefore, it was those bandits who took off Xu Jun's military uniforms and mounted Xu Jun's war horses.
But Xu Zhengye looked at them from a distance and thought they were his own soldiers, so he misunderstood them.
Of course, it is not ruled out that Cui Jing did it on purpose and deliberately confused the line of sight. Otherwise, why would he let those wearing Xu Jun's military uniforms clear the way in front?
The marchers have their own plans. There is no need to ask these questions in detail. Chang Sui Ning is even more curious: "Since Xu Zhengye threw himself into your trap just now, why didn't you kill him?"
"This is your credit." Cui Jing said, "It's up to you to take it."
Chang Sui Ning was startled and asked him: "So, is it because of this that you never showed up and went to Luoyang to meet Li Xian and Xuance's army?"
Is it all because you don’t want to take away her credit?
Thinking about it, if Xu Zhengye heard about him in Luoyang, he might back off and not fall into the trap she had laid.
She had thought about many reasons just now, but she didn't expect that the reason was so simple, yet it was something she had never seen before.
Cui Jing acquiesced.
"If I show up, I'm afraid I will alert the enemy." He said, "Besides, if the Xuance Army participates in this war, even if your name is on the merit list in the future, it will at least be shared equally with everyone else.
The deliberate gossiping by people above the court has obscured your achievements and plans. In the end, I am afraid that the fault of Xu Zhengye coming to Luoyang will still be blamed on you."
Especially, he fairly understood Li Xian.
If this person participates, he will take all the credit to the maximum extent possible.
At that time, the only thing left for her would probably be the words "make the best of it".
She had planned all of this by herself, and outsiders should not help her, but they should at least not disrupt her plan rashly, take away the credit that belongs to her, and blame her for non-existent faults.
In this matter, he is also an "outsider".
The reason why he "stayed out of the situation" was because he knew that she did not need a hero who descended from the sky in times of crisis, because she herself was one.
What he has to do is to ensure that her plans are not disrupted and to deal with some possible changes for her in the dark.
No one would know that he had appeared here afterwards. In this glory that belonged to her, he did not need to have any name.
Chang Suining held the horse's back for a while before saying, "But, how did you know I had set an ambush here?"
During the period when he lost information, she had no contact with Yuan Xiang. To prevent the possibility of leaks, she did not let Yuan Xiang leak any information beforehand.
Cui Jing turned his head and looked at the girl on the horse: "You told me a long time ago."
Chang Suining was stunned: "How did I tell you?"
In a dream?
"You told me in your letter." Cui Jing said: "You said you would take Xu Zhengye's life, so you will definitely do it."
Chang Sui Ning smiled: "Then should I also tell everyone in the world?"
She once used that piece of paper to declare to the world that she would kill Xu Zhengye.
But among the uninformed people in the world, he was the only one who believed it.
He believed that she would do it, and that she was not talking nonsense.
And his trust is not frivolous, it is not just words, this trust is very "solid", so solid that he can analyze step by step how she will set up the situation.
Moreover, he cut off possible troubles for her where no one could see her.
But before today, she knew nothing about it.
At this moment, she heard the young man holding the horse for her say: "I know you don't care where the credit goes."
But, he cares about her.
Because: "But you need to take the credit that belongs to you."
She needs to use the prestige gained from these achievements to do more of what she wants to do.
Chang Sui Ning said: "No, I still care about such a big contribution."
Cui Jing then smiled.
"Cui Jing..."
Hearing this shout, the young man turned his head again and looked at the person on the horse with soft eyebrows.
Chang Suining looked at him with a smile on his face, bright eyes and white teeth: "Thank you."
"No need to thank me, I didn't do anything."
"Then thank you for holding the horse for me."
Cui Jing did not say that there was no need to thank you this time, but said with a smile: "It should be."
The next moment, Chang Suining was seen holding the horse's back, lowering his body slightly, moving closer to him, and his voice was much lower: "I have one last question to ask you."
