Drunk House

  Chapter 647 is wrong (second update)

  Ning Ze and Zhang Mao were shocked when they heard Cui Xingzhi's words, thinking that the Cui clan of Qinghe also sent someone to Nanchu to seek refuge with the princess. And the person who came was Cui Xingzhi.

  They also knew Cui Xingzhi when they were in Daliang. The most talented and outstanding descendants of the Qinghe Cui family. Someone once asserted that Qinghe Cui's generation has many promising descendants. If Zhou Gu and Donggong can make use of the line, then Qinghe Cui's might rise again in Daliang.

  But no one expected that Zhou Gu would follow Su Rong and come to Nanchu to be the king's husband.

   And the Qinghe Cui family, hey, is really capable, and even sent the most promising descendants to Nanchu to seek refuge.

  Ning Ze wanted to give his thumbs up. He hooked Cui Xingzhi's shoulder and said, "Well, brother Cui, how did your family make such a big decision to let you come to Nanchu? It must not be easy, right?"

  Cui Xingzhi smiled, "It's very easy. My grandfather summoned his relatives to discuss this matter, and within an hour, it was decided."

  Ning Ze: "..."

  Is it so simple to make such an important decision in such a huge family?

  Cui Xingzhi explained to him, "Grandfather received news from my aunt and knew that my cousin's situation in Southern Chu was not optimistic, so he made a quick decision. Grandfather has always acted decisively. If other relatives disagree, grandfather will not force him."

  Ning Ze came to a sudden, "So, the huge Cui family has countless descendants, so you two are here, that is to say, the rest of your Cui family are not optimistic."

  Cui Xingzhi said: "They don't understand the situation in Southern Chu, and they dare not take risks. It is understandable."

  Ning Ze sighed, "You have also seen that Nanchu is too dangerous. Your relatives are all smart people. After you came, did you regret your decision?"

  Cui Xingzhi smiled, "That's not true, I just feel lucky to be here."

  Ning Ze nodded, "No, it's a good thing you are here, otherwise...", he sighed, "If something happens to the princess, we will all be finished."

Cui Xingzhi smiled, "When I came, I saw 200,000 soldiers and horses on the border of Southern Chu. It was the second and fourth sons of the Zhou family who led the troops. Daliang would not have sent troops to the border of Southern Chu for no reason. It must be my cousin who asked me to leave." His Royal Highness the Crown Prince of Daliang prepared a reserve force, right?"

"Yes." Ning Ze nodded, "But none of us expected that Prince Wei would bring 800,000 troops to attack Southern Chu. A few days after the news was sent away, Feiying sent a letter to the Daliang border as soon as possible. The young master and the young master on Wednesday saw the letter and rushed to march, and it will be half a month later. We don't know if we can last until half a month later."

  Cui Xingzhi said: "Do your best!"

  Zhang Mao said from the side at this time: "Once the situation is not good, it is better to retreat to the Ghost Crying Mountain according to the princess's earlier plan. It is said that if the ghost enters the Ghost Crying Mountain, the ghost will hit the wall and get lost."

Cui Xingzhi shook his head, "When we came, we passed Ghost Crying Mountain. If it was not a last resort, we still had to guard Heiya Pass. Heiya Pass is known as the natural barrier of Southern Chu. If Heiya Pass is abandoned, Ghost Crying Mountain won’t be able to stop us for a day. We can only retreat again and again until we reach the capital. In that case, even if Daliang’s 200,000 reinforcements come, there will be countless casualties, too passive.”

   Zhang Mao felt reasonable when he heard the words, "Brother Cui is right, you can't retreat until it is absolutely necessary."

   The three chatted for a while, and then began to prepare for the battle again.

   There is still more than an hour before dawn, Cui Xingzhi feels that if Wei wants to attack the city, it should be soon, and he must do it before dawn.

When Cui Xingzhi got up and left, his movements were very light. Cui Yanjin immediately opened his eyes and was about to follow him. He was held down by him, and he asked in a low voice, "It's still early, you can rest with your cousin for a while. City, even if you go there, you will still have time."

  Cui Yanjin gave up, and lay down obediently.

  Zhou Gu seemed to be aware of something. He woke up, opened his eyes and took a look. It was pitch black and it was still dark. He closed his eyes again without saying anything.

  Cui Yanjin whispered, "Cousin, are you awake?"

"Um."

Cui Yanjin said: "Cousin is going to guard the city gate, let me accompany you first, Doctor Zhang said you can't use force, is it true that you can't go to the city gate today? Or don't go? Don't worry, there are me and you Cousin is here, we must guard the Black Cliff Pass."

  The implication is that you are obedient and don't let people stare at you. I want to leave and I don't want to be with you anymore.

  Zhou Gudao: "Even if I don't use force, I can still be with you. When the Great Wei attacks the city, you just go and fight, and I will stay behind and command."

  Cui Yanjin felt that if he didn't use force and just stayed behind to direct, he could do it reluctantly, right? He nodded, "Then I will leave you two people to watch you."

  Zhou Gu ignored him, "Sleep."

  Cui Yanjin shut his mouth, thinking to himself, he can't fall asleep, he really wants to leave, but he has no choice but to take care of his cousin.

   Half an hour later, there was movement next door. It seemed that someone was shouting in surprise, "Master, are you awake?"

   Zhou Gu listened and immediately sat up.

  Cui Yanjin also sat up, "Cousin, is my cousin awake?"

  Zhou Gujing listened for a moment, then nodded, "Hold the lamp."

  Cui Yanjin hurriedly got out of bed to light the lamp, Zhou Gu also got out of bed, when Cui Yanjin put down the flint and turned around, he saw Zhou Gu had already left the door. He hurriedly followed.

  Next door, Su Rong is indeed awake.

  She wanted to sit up by herself, but her whole body hurt, and she couldn't move even a little bit, her heart sank.

  Lanzhi hurriedly said: "Master, you are seriously injured. Doctor Zhang has repeatedly instructed you not to use force in a short time. Otherwise, even if he is the Great Luo Jinxian, he will not be able to save you and the Fourth Young Master from tormenting like this."

  Su Rong felt weak all over, "How long have I been in a coma? One night?"

  Lanzhi nodded, "It's been a whole night, and there is still half an hour before dawn."

   "Who is guarding the city gate now?" Su Rong stretched out her hand to Lanzhi because she had no strength, "Help me up."

Lanzhi stretched out her hand to help her sit up slowly, and answered her, "It's Qinghe Cui's son Xing Zhi, the fourth son entrusted him with post-war affairs and fortification of the city wall. It is said that the person with the ghost gate reinforced the city gate. And the city wall, Young Master Zhang Mao and Young Master Ning also went to the city gate after waking up not long ago."

  Su Rong nodded, just about to ask Zhou Gu, when the door was pushed open, Zhou Gu walked in from the outside, his face was still tense, his eyes were dark, obviously angry.

  Su Rong had no choice but to shout, "Zhou Gu."

  Zhou Gu came to the bed and looked down at her coldly, "I have made a white-headed covenant, we will live and die together, what is it if you abandon me?"

  Su Rong apologized quickly, "I was wrong."

  Zhou Gu snorted coldly, "You always apologize quickly, but if you don't think you have done something wrong in your heart, you are sure I can't do anything to you? You just bully me like this, don't you?"

   "No, no, you are very good at me. You can be my home and be my master." Su Rong was very eager to survive, and reached out to pull him with difficulty, "I'm sorry."

  Zhou Gu really wanted to get rid of her, but because of her injury, he didn't move, and said coldly, "Don't do this with me."
