"Bang!" A Dian said: "As soon as I poked it, it exploded with a 'bang'!"
So He Wuhu, Shepherd's Purse and others looked at Chang Sui Ning.
A Dian took two steps forward, approached Chang Suining, poked her right cheek curiously, and then said, "But she's not very angry either!"
Chang Suining, who was completely temperless after being poked by him: "..." She would like to thank General A Dian for clearing her name?
General A Dian was very fair, and poked the other half of her face, and finally said: "I testify, it's not like that!"
And criticized: "Xiao Jing, you are talking nonsense, you have wronged her!"
Cui Jing suppressed the smile on her lips and nodded: "Well, that's what senior taught me."
After Senior A Dian taught him a lesson, Chang Sui Ning also glanced at him.
Cui Jing could no longer suppress the smile on her lips and looked forward with a smile.
The group of people were walking and talking, and when the rain was getting thicker, A Dian held up his cloak and placed it on Chang Suining's head, like a roc with its wings spread, protecting the little bird that had just emerged from the nest.
When they went out of the city to do errands, they mostly rode horses and prepared raincoats but no umbrellas, but the servants of the Governor's Mansion quickly brought umbrellas.
But A Dian was so playful that he pushed Chang Sui Ning to run, letting his cloak float high behind him. He happily shouted: "...Fly!"
Chang Sui Ning was happy to play with him, running forward with him under his cloak in the rain, his shoes stepping on the bluestone, splashing tiny drops of water.
Cui Jing held an umbrella and followed behind, watching the figures of one big and one small running in the rain, and no one caught up with them to disturb them.
Many times, he would envy Senior A Dian.
This is true now, and even more so in the past.
Because in the past a long time ago, he did not have the opportunity to go to the real her, but could only vaguely construct her from the traces of the Xuance Army, the moon-drawing bow, and the military books she left behind.
The way it should be.
But now, he can stand beside her and follow her.
From then on, every step he took was brand new and generously gifted by God.
The young man walked with an umbrella, his eyes following the two figures walking in the rain in front of him.
The Governor's Mansion is very busy today. Although it is raining, busy servants can still be seen everywhere. They are preparing for tonight's celebration banquet.
The servants or officials they met along the way saluted Chang Suining and Cui Jing.
When he learned that Chang Suining and Cui Jing were back, Junjun, who was beside Hu Governor, personally came to send a message and invited them to drink tea and talk in the front hall. He said that Li Xian had just arrived.
When passing through a long corridor, A Dian was intercepted by the young man and the young ladies from the Governor's Mansion.
They asked A Dian where he had gone, and A Dian said proudly: "...I am not an idle person. I have many errands to do every day!"
"I know, I know, General A Dian is a great general!"
"General, have you finished your errands? Can you play eagle and catch chickens with us?"
A Dian used his big eyes to ask Chang Sui Ning for instructions.
You always have to give your children face outside. Chang Sui Ning smiled and said, "General A Dian has completed his errands today."
A Dian and the children cheered together.
Chang Suining only said, "Be careful," and then continued to the front hall with Cui Jing.
She made this confession for a reason. When A Dian was making chicken tails yesterday, she was too nervous. She exerted force on her hands and accidentally pulled the young gentleman in front of her backwards. The young gentleman fell to the ground.
On A Dian's body, the young man in front of him also fell down, one dragging two, two dragging three, the original eagle catching the chicken became a stack of arhats.
The sound of children playing behind them gradually faded away, and Chang Sui Ning and Cui Jing soon came to the front hall.
Everyone in the hall stood up to greet him.
Except for Hu Min, Xiao Min and others, most of the other officials who came to the banquet met these two "rumored figures" for the first time.
One is Governor Cui, whom I have only heard of in rumors for many years.
The other one is a rising star who’s ears are getting calloused recently.
Cui Jing gained such respect because of her official position and many years of prestige. Compared with him, Chang Suining is indeed a real rising star. Her current military exploits are not many, but her victory is great and amazing, even for her daughter.
Even though he is a person, he cannot be looked down upon.
Li Xian also stepped forward to salute Cui Jing: "Captain Cui, I haven't seen you for a long time."
Cui Jing raised her hand and returned the salute: "General Li."
Li Xian's face was warm, his eyes then turned to Chang Sui Ning, and he raised his hand: "I, Li Xian, have long admired the name of General Ningyuan."
Faced with such a humble attitude from the other party, Chang Sui Ning also smiled slightly and said, "General Li, I hope you can give me more advice in the future."
Li Xian smiled and said: "General Ningyuan is in trouble."
With smiling eyes, he looked at the girl in front of him who was wearing a green robe and behaved calmly and calmly. Suddenly, the words he heard in the Ganlu Hall before leaving the capital rang in his ears——
The sage ordered him to guard Luoyang and also "guard" Xuance's army.
The sage told him to pay more attention to whether Cui Jing had any alien intentions, and also asked him to pay more attention to General Ningyuan.
When he first heard this, he was puzzled. How could Chang Kuo's adopted daughter, who had just gained a reputation and had no power in her hands, be treated with such "different eyes" by the saint? She would be born out of such importance.
His fear was as much as that of Cui Jing.
Until he heard about the great victory in Bianshui, this woman actually killed Xu Zhengye with her own hands.
This may be due to luck, but it can never be achieved by luck alone.
At this moment, even though it was his first time meeting her and he didn't know much about her yet, the aura surrounding this woman gave him the feeling of someone who had been immersed in a battlefield for a long time. She was not at all like a girl who had been raised in a boudoir for many years.
While Li Xian silently looked at Chang Suining, Chang Suining was also judging him.
Apart from anything else, the son of the late Korean princess looked very much like his mother, with a good appearance.
Beneath this good appearance is a fairly calm character.
It is expected that the person who refused to support Bianzhou before, can sit firmly in Luoyang, and has good calculations about making profits as a fisherman, is naturally a calm person.
Li Xian had previously refused to send troops to assist Bianzhou in time. Naturally, everyone present had concerns in their hearts. Li Xian was also aware of everyone's concerns, but he was doing everything as usual, and there was nothing unusual about it on the surface.
At the celebration banquet in the evening, he also exchanged glasses with everyone, integrating well into the celebration banquet.
There was dancing and music at the banquet, and the wine sent from Luoyang was probably quite strong. The smell of wine filled the hall, and Changsui Ning even felt drunk even though he didn't drink it.
She even had a bad feeling that she would get drunk and hit someone if she stayed there for two minutes.
Therefore, when the banquet was coming to an end, Chang Suining left in time to avoid harming others and herself, and ruining her newly established reputation. This was her celebration banquet and must not be exposed to the public.
Declining to see off those people who, although they had human form, were no different from walking wine jars in her eyes at the moment, Chang Sui Ning left the banquet hall and walked to her residence.
The rain outside had not stopped, and the night wind blew, and the smell of alcohol on her robe was dissipated along the way, and she felt her mind clear.
Now awake, looking at the dark night in the rain, I couldn't help but pause slightly and look back in the direction of the banquet hall.
"Girl?" Xi'er, who was holding the umbrella for her, also stopped.
"Nothing." Chang Suining turned around and said, "Let's go."
She just waits for him to come find her.
When Chang Suining returned to his residence, Yao Ran came out to salute and asked softly: "Has the general been drinking?"
Chang Suining shook his head: "No."
Yao Ran then asked: "Is the general sleepy?"
Chang Suining shook his head again, his eyes moved down from her face, and saw several booklets she was holding.
Chang Sui Ning understood and walked in front: "Let's go."
Not to mention that she had never felt sleepy, even if her eyes were drowsy at the moment, it was just right for her to have a cantilevered head and a thorn in her buttocks - what serious boss could refuse such a hard-working subordinate?
Yao Ran quickly followed and went to the study room with Chang Suining.
…
At this celebration banquet, several Bianzhou officials drank to their heart's content. Looking around, there were many drunk people, but there were still people holding up their wine glasses to invite them to drink.
Cui Jing left the table at the right time.
When Li Xian saw this, he also put down his wine glass with a smile: "Everyone, drink slowly."
"Captain Cui, please stay."
Li Xian left the banquet hall, called to the young man in front of him, and walked a few steps quickly to follow him.
"I just couldn't ask any more questions during the dinner. I haven't had time to ask about Governor Cui's injury..." Li Xian looked concerned.
Cui Jing walked down the stone steps and said, "Thank you, General Li, for your concern. Cui is fine."
"That's good." Li Xian followed Cui Jing and asked following this topic: "I wonder where those assassins came from? Who ordered them?"
"They are still being interrogated."
Li Xian nodded: "This matter must be thoroughly investigated."
He asked some other questions, seemingly concerned, but actually testing.
Cui Jingduo answered with only a few words. He didn't say much and didn't reveal much, but it also made it impossible to detect any mistakes.
At the end, Li Xian said thankfully: "It's good that Governor Cui is safe and sound."
"Previously, Li was waiting in Luoyang and had no news from Governor Cui. He was still uncertain and did not dare to order the Li army to leave Luoyang without authorization..." He sighed: "Fortunately, General Ningyuan and Commander Xiao had already responded."
Part of the reason for not rescuing Bianzhou in time was attributed to the delay in news about Cui Jing.
When he expressed his apology to the governor of Bianzhou for not being able to come to the rescue in time, he also revealed his last resort. Cui Jing did not argue with him, but just listened.
Seeing that he was silent, Li Xian no longer mentioned the matter, but invited: "It is inconvenient to talk about old times during the dinner. I wonder if Governor Cui will have time to talk to each other at this time?"
"Cui has other important matters, so why not wait for another day?"
"Oh? I don't know what the important matter is. Do you need Li to go with you?" Li Xian asked politely.
"No need."
The smile in Li Xian's eyes did not diminish. He stopped when he heard this and raised his hand to send Cui Jing off.
Cui Jing nodded to him and left with Yuan Xiang and others.
Seeing the young man's back walking away, the smile on Li Xian's face faded and turned into a very light sneer.
Sure enough, he is still the same as before. He thinks he is superior to others just because he is a member of the Cui family. The arrogance in his bones is really annoying.
The four major noble families?
Li Xian laughed again.
He would like to see how long these so-called high-ranking nobles can continue to dominate the world. And without the support of the family behind him, how will Governor Cui be able to stand above the court?
To gain a foothold?
No matter if you can come back alive this time, let's live first, preferably until the day when the Cui family is destroyed.
At that time, he would have to take a good look at how the other party's noble and proud character was shattered bit by bit.
Li Xian left here with a smile and his entourage, saying with unclear meaning: "Let's go. Although we are not fighting, we still need to have a good rest."
He will not have time to participate in the battle ahead, but the battle in Luoyang City belongs to him and he can fight it.
Ahead, Cui Jing, who had walked far away, was asking his subordinates who had just arrived from Luoyang today: "Are you all ready?"
"Go back to the Commander-in-Chief, everything is ready."
Yuan Xiang was curious, what should he prepare? What was the "important matter" that the Governor had just mentioned?
…
"Thank you for your advice, General. It's getting late. General, please take a rest early."
In the study room where Chang Sui Ning was, Yao Ran closed the book in his hand and said to Chang Sui Ning who was covering his mouth and yawning.
Chang Suining nodded, and after Yao Ran left, he looked at the night outside the study and held his chin in a daze for a while.
Cui Jing must have forgotten that, right?
Ordinarily it shouldn't be the case. With a living ghost like her hanging around in front of him, wouldn't he be curious or have anything to ask?
If there is a person who can resurrect the corpse by her side, it would be considered a kindness of her not to ask him if he is tired or cry.
Chang Suining frowned and thought for a while, but in the end no one asked Cui Jing.
If he didn't come, he would be breaking his promise. She wanted to see if the dignified Cui family was really so dishonest.
Xi'er asked someone to prepare hot water. Chang Suining ignored the matter and went to the ear room. As soon as he took off his coat and let down his hair, he heard A Zhi's voice calling outside the door, saying that Cui Jing was here and was outside the hospital.
waiting.
Chang Suining: "..."
If you don’t come early, you won’t come late.
She continued to take off her robe: "Let him wait."
As soon as Ah Zhi said "yes", Chang Suining put on his robe again: "Forget it, I'll go see him."
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! It was rainy and cold on a spring night, and his injuries have not really healed yet. It is said that he really took a dip in the icy lake. She can't afford to fuss over trivial matters inexplicably.
people.
Chang Suining tied up his robe again and picked up his cloak. He didn't sit down to comb and tie his hair again. He only picked up the ribbon and tied a piece of loose black silk behind him casually as he walked.
Cui Jing, who was waiting outside the courtyard gate, saw her coming, with a smile on her eyebrows and said, "Let's go."
Chang Suining asked: "Where to go?"
“You’ll know when you go there.”
Chang Sui Ning made a soft "嘁" sound and said as he walked: "How could I not know that Governor Cui was so good at selling people off before?"
Cui Jing smiled but did not explain.
Chang Suining followed him all the way out of the Governor's Mansion, rode his horse at night, and dismounted in front of a courtyard in the city.
Chang Suining walked into the other courtyard and looked around: "Where is this?"
"A separate courtyard in the clan."
Chang Suining: "..."
A random courtyard in Bianzhou City that no one lives in is so elegant. Along the way, you can see stone lanterns, countless exotic flowers and plants, and everything is luxurious under the elegance.
Once we entered the hall, there was no need to describe what we saw.
Chang Sui Ning stood in the hall, looking at the paintings and calligraphy of famous artists from the previous dynasties hanging in the hall, and couldn't help but sigh in his heart. He was really a vicious and extremely rich man, and he was worthy of being the head of the four most evil noble families in the hearts of a humble family.
At this moment, a Xuance soldier followed from outside, holding a long and heavy box in his hand, and placed it on the small table next to Chang Sui Ning.
The Xuance soldier retreated. When Cui Jing signaled him to open the long box, Chang Suining subconsciously asked: "Given it to me?"
Cui Jing shook his head: "No."
Chang Suining: "..."
Seeing her expression, Cui Jing smiled and said, "You can open it first and take a look."
Chang Sui Ning didn't say much. He raised his hand to open the long box. He was caught off guard and saw the contents inside. He was stunned for a moment.
"It's not a gift."
The young man's serious voice sounded: "It is returned to His Highness."
