Cui Jing, who was sitting cross-legged on the couch with her upper body naked and freshly applied medicine to the wound on her back, looked at a room full of subordinates who were kneeling down in a huff.
"Grand Governor, from now on you should be brave enough to stand on your own!"
Yuan Xiang took the lead and said: "You start a new family and open a new family tree. When the family tree is compiled, ask several great scholars to write a preface. You will be the first page of this family tree and be the real head of the family!"
Looking at the arrogant subordinates, Cui Jing was silent for a moment and asked: "...as the leader of this clan, who will I take care of?"
Do you take care of yourself?
"Take care of your subordinates!" Yuan Xiang slapped his chest loudly, glanced around, and said, "My subordinates have all discussed it. When the time comes, you will open the genealogy and add all the names of your subordinates!"
Vice General Yu nodded: "We are willing to follow the surname of the Governor!"
"That's right!" A young Xuance Army said: "It doesn't matter if you don't want to get a wife, then my subordinates will help you spread your wings!"
Vice General Yu turned to look at him:...Does the Governor not want to get a wife now?
But what he said is correct, and Vice General Yu also assured with confidence: "Yes, the Governor will just leave the matter to us. Within three to five years, our subordinates promise to add more than a hundred pages to our family tree."
!”
There are at least fifty or sixty of them, and the maximum number of children a family can have is two. With a family tree of 100 pages, wouldn’t it be enough to give birth to the governor?
Faced with such a "heavy" heart, Cui Jing's mood was very complicated. He subconsciously asked: "... So, in the genealogy, how should you and I be called?"
Having said this, Lieutenant General Yu smiled and said: "If you don't dislike it, Commander-in-Chief, you will adopt your subordinates as adopted sons!"
"..." Cui Jing's facial expression became slightly tense: "If I remember correctly, you are more than seven or eight years older than me."
Vice General Yu immediately said: "I don't mind!"
The Grand Governor is better than his reborn parents, so he can be called "adopted father" in the family tree!
Yuan Xiang and others also followed suit.
The doctor who was cutting the injured cloth with scissors opened his eyes wide when he heard this. Isn't this nonsense? How could Governor Cui agree to such a ridiculous proposal?
However, it’s really hard to say... What if the Cui family is heartbroken and wants to adopt adopted sons to liven things up?
Thinking of this possibility, the doctor hissed slightly, quickly put down the scissors, and made a decision in his heart that went against his ancestors.
Although he is fifty this year, he is well maintained and looks like he is only forty-five...
He is always a little older, but since Governor Cui wants to pursue excitement, why not follow through to the end?
The doctor quickly arranged his hair and hair, controlled his facial expression, and holding the cut wound cloth, he came to Cui Jing's side, coughed twice, and took the opportunity to show his face to make his presence felt.
Hearing the sound of coughing, Cui Jing turned around and saw the doctor's reserved yet respectful smile.
"..." Facing that wrinkled face, Cui Jing realized that the other person actually wanted to take care of him until he died, and he felt that he could be laid to rest in the next moment.
A group of subordinates were still expressing their determination. Cui Jing interrupted those voices with some confusion: "No need."
"Great Governor, we all do it willingly and don't care about those worldly eyes!"
Cui Jing: "...I care."
He was completely unprepared to be a foster father to so many people.
Hearing the repeated rejection by his chief governor, Yuan Xiang said with red eyes: "... naturally all of my subordinates know that no matter what, no one dares to bully and despise you by exterminating the clan. You also
There is no need to rely on the clan! The subordinates made this suggestion, just because they don’t want you to feel that you are alone from now on, and feel empty and uncomfortable..."
Cui Jing: "Thank you...I don't feel bad."
It's pretty good to just be "empty" like this.
Seeing that their chief governor really had no intention of doing this, Yuan Xiang and others couldn't force him to become adopted sons. In other words, the point of this matter was not to be adopted sons. They just wanted the chief governor to know that they would always be adopted sons.
The governor's family, in the past, now, and in the future, the governor is not alone.
Seeing everyone getting up one after another, Doctor Cao wanted to push them back. Hey, young people today are not very good at it, and they have no perseverance in doing things. Why don't you try to persevere?
Fortunately, Doctor Cao quickly figured out that although the road of adopted son failed, it should still be possible to properly advise Cui Dadu. It should be noted that when a nobleman is sad, it is best for him who wants to gain influence... No
, it was a motivated person like him who took advantage of the situation.
"I'm going to bandage the Governor's wound now. It may hurt a little, please bear with it..."
Cui Jing nodded: "Thank you."
Doctor Cao bandaged Cui Jing's wound with great care, and he made a sound of praise from time to time——
"Captain Cui is really strong..."
"The numerous battle wounds on your body are all testimonies of your meritorious service."
"Look at your figure, your bones, your texture, you are truly a beauty rarely seen in the world..."
"..." Cui Jing was determined to write down this person, and next time he would need to replace the medicine with someone who talked less.
When the bandage was completed, Doctor Cao did not forget to tie a beautiful and delicate bow. Fortunately, the knot was tied on the side of the waist, so Cui Jing did not take a closer look for the time being.
At this time, a soldier came in from outside to send a message, saying that it was General Ning Yuan who came to inquire about the Governor's injury.
Chang Suining came back with Cui Jing. She estimated the time and thought that his wounds had been treated and bandaged, so she came to ask.
Cui Jing hurriedly said: "Bring me your robe."
Yuan Xiang agreed, took out a clean and comfortable long-sleeved robe and brought it to his Grand Governor, then hugged him into his arms and suggested: "Grand Governor... why don't you stop wearing it first?"
Cui Jing looked at him.
Yuan Xiang crazily hinted: "You are already injured, so let's show Mrs. Chang a look by the way..."
Dai Changshi once said that the more powerful a man is, the more he must know how to be miserable!
"Yes, Commander-in-Chief, why don't you just lie down!" Lieutenant General Yu also came up with an idea. Isn't it more miserable to lie down than to sit down?
"I have a suggestion!" Doctor Cao hurriedly gestured sideways: "In this case, why don't you lie on your side and hold one in your hand like this..."
With such a stick, doesn't the body texture of the upper body all appear?
Anyway, it’s already a trap, so why not add a beauty trap?
Yes, he admitted that lying on his side might cause injuries to his back, but it would pass quickly if he endured it. As long as he could show it off in front of his sweetheart and endure a little hardship, could it be said that it wasn't worth it?
It is no exaggeration to say that if such a coveted body shape were placed on him, he would do nothing else every day but just think about how to make others see him! But there is no one around him who doesn't know that he has such a perfect body.
He couldn't even sleep due to the shape!
"..." Cui Jing found it hard to believe that this was what a senior medical doctor could say.
What is gratifying is that he is not treated as a patient. What is silent is that he is not treated as a human being.
He stretched out his hand to Yuan Xiang: "Bring it here."
Meeting the young man's non-negotiable eyes, Yuan Xiang hesitated to speak. He didn't dare to say more. He hesitantly handed over the robe. Halfway through, he came to his senses: "Are you injured, or are you a member of the family?"
Let me help you put it on."
Yuan Xiang carefully dressed his Grand Governor, and at the end, he secretly loosened the collar a little. Seeing his Grand Governor's gaze coming towards him, Yuan Xiang raised his face and smiled silly, trying not to feel guilty and said: "You have just applied medicine to your wound.
, don’t wear clothes that are too tight…”
Chang Suining walked in quickly.
All the soldiers raised their hands to salute her, shouting "General Ningyuan" one after another.
Chang Suining nodded to them, walked straight to Cui Jing, and asked Doctor Cao about his injuries.
"Fortunately, no vital parts were injured, but it still needs to be cured for at least a month..." Doctor Cao elaborated on the injury, and finally concluded: "Fortunately, I only received thirty lashes. If I continued to take it, my muscles and bones would be injured.
It will be hard to say then..."
Vice General Yu immediately answered: "Fortunately, General Ning Yuan arrived in time!"
Yuan Xiang was about to speak, but his own chief governor rushed in front and chased away the people: "Everyone, please step aside."
It was clear that he was exterminated today, but his subordinates showed a more abnormal mental state than him, which gave him a sense of insecurity full of uncertainty. It was really difficult for him to predict what these people said.
What amazing words will come out in the next moment.
Yuan Xiang and others had no choice but to retreat.
"You heard it, luckily I got there in time." Chang Suining stood four or five steps away from Cui Jing, crossing his arms and looking at the young man sitting cross-legged on the couch, only to realize that he looked very different from before.
He was wearing a large, wide-sleeved indigo green robe. Compared with the neat buns in the past, his black hair was temporarily half-tied with a hosta on his head, and the ends of his hair were hanging down casually. The sunlight outside the window behind him shone on the loose fabric of his robe.
His shoulders gave him a somewhat relaxed and youthful air.
"I heard it." Perhaps because he was a little weak, his voice also had a rare relaxation: "The grace of saving my life will be engraved in my heart."
"It's not a life-saving grace." Chang Suining looked at him and asked, "So why do you want to stay and be punished?"
Naturally, he is not someone who will obey the rules and advice of his clan, otherwise Cui Ling'an would not be what he is today.
"Since we have to break up, the handling of this matter must be convincing enough." Cui Jing said: "If I don't want to accept the punishment and leave here, Cui will have to be stopped in accordance with the rules. Once both sides take action, there will inevitably be casualties.
"
This matter is destined not to end lightly, otherwise Cui will be suspected of being staged.
Furthermore, when he was willing to kneel down to receive the punishment, it was not the Cui family clan that he knelt down on, but the family head order that represented his grandfather.
No matter how inconsistent he is with the Cui family's way of living, he is a descendant of the Cui family. His body was given to him by the Cui family. What he learned since childhood was taught by the Cui family. The Cui family once regarded him as the future head of the family.
Cultivation gave him imprisonment, but also gave him wings.
Especially my grandfather, he was indebted to his grandfather.
Even if he received this punishment today, he deserved it.
Chang Suining understood his feelings, or in other words, she could empathize with him. She had always cut off family ties and always had to skin and bones.
But Cui Jing's situation is still different from hers. She said with relief: "It's not necessarily a bad thing at this time."
Cui Jing nodded, he understood.
At this time, looking at the girl in green robe with her black ponytail hanging down behind her head and standing with her arms folded, he asked: "What is the second option?"
Before she handed him the sword, she said, giving him two choices, either to stand up and leave with her, or—
"It's better to stay and be maimed." Chang Sui Ning said in a matter-of-fact tone.
Before Cui Jing had time to answer, he saw her take two steps forward, sit down casually in the chair in front of the couch, and said: "I'm lying to you, I was thinking, either you get up and leave with me, or I
Knock you out and take you away."
Cui Jing curled her lips, this was indeed something she could do.
He said: "So I am glad that I am knowledgeable enough to avoid being knocked unconscious."
Chang Sui Ning raised his chin slightly and nodded: "Yes, yes."
She was wearing a gauze robe embroidered with flowing clouds on top of her robe today. The color was soft and bright, and the temperament of her body contrasted with it, making her really look like a noble young man.
She hurried back this time and only had time to drink a cup of tea.
When she put the tea cup down, she heard Cui Jing ask: "So, can you reconsider me now?"
Chang Suining raised his eyes and looked over, meeting a particularly serious face of a young man.
His voice was low but full of sincerity: "Now that I have nothing to worry about, I am suitable to go with His Highness."
Chang Sui looked quietly at those deep eyes. He was injured and his face looked paler, making his eyebrows and eyelashes darker. The warm sun outside the window behind him shone on him, making him look pious and persistent.
.
Chang Suining suddenly thought of many things.
At first, when they were not acquainted with each other, he gave her a bronze talisman to protect her. At the Furong Banquet, he, who never wanted to get too involved with others, took the initiative to rescue her. In the Tower of the Goddess, she was not honest with him.
But he secretly broke the formation for her. When he killed Xu Zhengye that day, he knew her plan, understood her needs, and never tried to compete with her.
There are too many things like this.
He is firm and measured, and stands with her every time.
As for those things that happened a long time ago, Wu Jue said that he found the jade for her to cast a statue, and Lao Chang said that he did everything he could to take over and preserve the Xuance Army.
He was protecting her sword, her horse, and her point.
Long before she "came", he was already walking towards her.
The four eyes looked at each other, Cui Jing's eyes were clear and firm.
He could also sense that there seemed to be a pull from fate, but every decision he made was made by himself. All of this was not pushed forward by fate, but what he wanted in his heart.
On this long journey, crossing the river of life and death, he didn't know where the end point would be at first, until he met her again.
At this moment, Chang Suining stood up and walked towards him.
"You're not worried, and I happen to be alone." She stretched out her hand: "Then why don't we go together."
Cui Jing also raised his hand, holding it sideways with both hands together, like an alliance.
The green bamboo forest outside the window swayed, making a soft rustling sound, and a breeze blew into their eyes.
After a moment, Chang Suining let go of his hand and said with a smile: "To be honest, I should thank the Cui family this time."
Thanks to the Cui family for not wanting him, he can be hers.
He said before that he wanted to go with her, and she claimed that she would consider the matter, and that was where her concerns lay. Who knew that after a natural disaster or a man-made disaster, this concern disappeared in the blink of an eye.
