Hello Chang’an

Chapter 17 Is there any holiday?

Not far away from the courtyard, a soldier whispered: "It seems to be the voice from the courtyard of Governor Cui..."

"But how can there be a woman in Governor Cui's courtyard?"

"Don't talk too much about good things!" Chang Kuo frowned and scolded: "How can you behave like you with such nonsense?"

"yes…"

A few soldiers just bowed their heads obediently, but from the corner of their eyes, they saw their general walking out of the corridor quickly, walking to the base of the wall with his hands behind his hands, and put his ears to it, listening attentively.

Soldiers: "?"

What is the general who forbids their good deeds doing now?

Chang Sui Ning didn't notice the difference - it's not okay to gossip, but it's okay to eavesdrop. There is no conflict between the two.

After Chang Kuo listened attentively for a moment, he looked disappointed and wondered to himself: "Why are you still leaving..."

Cui Jing, that boy, never gets close to women, so he thought he would hear something strange this time.

When he came to his senses, he turned around and saw his little girl still standing there. Chang Kuo then put on a serious attitude and said to his subordinates: "I have checked and it is not a female assassin. Let's all disperse." ”

The soldiers who were standing far away looked at each other in confusion.

It seems that the only one who needs to be "dispersed" is the general himself, right?

Chang Kuo came back without changing his expression.

"If anything happens, just ask Ah Che to send a message..." It was getting late, so Chang Kuo whispered a few words to Chang Sui Ning and then urged people to go back.

As soon as Chang Sui Ning left this place, the faint sound of the woman's cries could be heard again.

"Why are you crying all the time?" A young man said dissatisfiedly: "No one beats or scolds you... Someone like you who hides in the governor's bedroom with impure motives is treated as an assassin and stabbed to death with a sword. It's normal. You should be lucky that our governor never despises other people's lives, otherwise you wouldn't have the life to cry at this moment."

The woman in cool clothes stopped crying when she heard this and said aggrievedly: "I'm crying because... I returned in vain this time and failed to serve the governor. My family will definitely scold me."

The young man was even more dissatisfied when he heard this: "But you can't have to sacrifice the innocence of our commander in order to complete your mission, right?"

The woman's feet stopped and she looked at him in surprise: "If a man wants to be innocent, he can't do it. Governor Cui is still -"

This is so true!

Before he finished speaking, the young man stopped him with a look.

The woman shut up obediently, but the strange look in her eyes lingered for a long time.

"Don't talk nonsense when you leave here!" Yuan Xiang threatened as coldly as possible.

But there was regret and self-hatred in his heart—it was all because he talked too much!

And this is all the fault of the chattering Wei Changji. In the past, in order not to embarrass his own governor, he had to fight with Wei Changji over time, and he also developed a good tongue. The negative effect is that he talks too much and cannot stop himself once he opens his mouth!

Based on this alone, he and Wei Changji would have sworn hatred!

"..." Chang Sui Ning was inexplicably thoughtful after hearing such a passage.

When a victorious army returns to the city, it is common for officials in each city to send some beauties to show their hospitality.

Of course, there are also people who refuse directly like Cui Jing, but ask their confidants to send people back. This is the first time she has heard of it.

Not only did he not despise human life, but he also never despised a woman who couldn't help herself. He knew how to treat people as human beings - this was rare among the nobles who believed that "all the people in the world except my clan are inferior commoners" .

From a young age, it turns out that this person is at least not warlike by nature and has no mercy for all living beings.

Some soldiers, after fighting in **** battles, will lose themselves if their will is not strong, and will gradually be swallowed up into cold and murderous people, and eventually become a knife that only knows killing - if Xuance's army accidentally falls In the hands of such people, it will undoubtedly be a disaster for the common people.

Fortunately, Cui Jing is not like this, at least not right now.

At first, when she saw him outside the city, she could only feel that he was full of killing intent, but now she felt a little more at ease.

"Chang Xiaolangjun."

A smiling voice sounded, and Chang Suining raised his eyes.

On the path ahead, a handsome young man wearing a moon-white robe with wide sleeves walked toward her.

In addition to the light scent of nard, there was also a very faint smell of alcohol on his body.

As if he knew she smelled the smell of alcohol, Wei Shuyi smiled and said: "Administrator Cui treats me very harshly. He never drinks when he leads the army. I saw that the officials were quite embarrassed, so I had to eat a few drinks." ”

Chang Suining walked forward and said casually: "There is indeed this military rule in Xuance's army."

"Talk about it, these are the rules set by the prince a long time ago." Wei Shuyi answered, walked with her, and then said with a smile: "I haven't thanked Mrs. Chang for saving my life today."

"There's no need to thank me. Minister Wei is already strategizing. Even if you want to thank me, you should also thank Governor Cui."

"He." Wei Shuyi smiled and shook his head: "He doesn't care about me thanking him. He doesn't like or disdain to be involved in any favors with others." Chang Suining: "...So why don't you use it in vain?"

Wei Shuyi walked with his hands behind his back and laughed twice: "Ms. Chang is really smart, and she revealed the secret with one word."

"But you almost died twice today." Chang Sui Ning had no intention of joking with him, and asked as he walked: "Do you really believe that nothing will happen to you?"

"In the court, even if there is no such bright sword, there will still be hidden arrows... Fortunately, I have always been lucky and can always turn danger into safety." Wei Shuyi's smile remained on his face and he turned to look at her: "It's the same this time."

Good luck?

Chang Sui Ning didn't believe what he said, and had no intention of refuting. He just said: "That is Wei Shilang's luck, not mine."

Wei Shuyi was startled for a moment and asked with a smile: "Ms. Chang, are you blaming me for not informing me beforehand?"

"The affairs of the court have nothing to do with me, and in the eyes of Minister Wei, there is no need to tell me, a girl in my boudoir."

There was no resentment on the girl's face, nor was she showing off her temper. She seemed to be innately incapable of showing off her temper, and she only expressed her dissatisfaction matter-of-factly: "But now that I am involved, that's different. I don't It’s unfair and inappropriate to put your life in the hands of others without knowing anything.”

Wei Shuyi was really stunned this time.

He was always good at talking, quoting scriptures and scriptures, and he could always deal with everything calmly no matter how casually he talked. But at this moment, he felt speechless.

I was speechless because of what a little girl said.

Wei Shuyi looked at her.

The girl's slightly dull face still had a hint of childishness, and she was not looking at him at this time. However, those calm eyes seemed to penetrate all the splendor and splendor, and she could clearly see the arrogance in his bones at a glance. .

But what about arrogance?

He has outstanding talents and is born as an extraordinary person. With many auras attached to him, it is normal for him to be somewhat arrogant.

But the girl's words are sharp yet plain, straightforward yet reasonable.

Wei Shuyi couldn't describe what he was feeling at the moment. It was far from shameful and angry. It was a bit unexpected, a bit stunned, and a bit inexplicable and strange. It was like someone suddenly opened a door in the mountains -

After a while, he said: "What Mrs. Chang said is absolutely true. It's Wei who didn't think carefully. He will definitely not do it next time."

Chang Suining: "There will definitely be no next time."

Wei Shuyi was stunned for a moment, then smiled and agreed: "Yes, that's right."

Chang Sui Ning walked forward, and after he had said it all, he revealed it. Without continuing the topic, he just asked: "Are you leaving tomorrow?"

"There are quite a few wounded among the guards and they need to rest for a day or two." Seeing that she did not "tangle" on the matter, Wei Shuyi was inexplicably relieved in his heart, as if he had made a mistake and escaped - but he was a young boy. Sometimes you make mistakes in front of your parents, but you never feel like this?

It's so weird, but also funny.

Wei Shuyi suppressed his inexplicable smile and continued the topic at hand: "...Xuan Ce's army will also rest outside the city. At that time, they may be able to set off back to Beijing together, and they can also have someone to take care of them on the way."

After thinking about it, he added with a smile: "Cui Jing will definitely not be happy for me to follow, but he will still give it to General Chang Da."

"Is there any holiday between you?" Chang Suining asked casually.

"There are no festivals worth mentioning." Wei Shuyi chatted with her: "We played together for a while when we were young, but his upbringing was strict, and Cui Gong valued this eldest grandson very much, treating him as a child. He was cultivated and educated by the future head of the Cui family... We, the mere children of a humble family, naturally have no chance to have a close relationship with him. "

"I remember one time, a group of us children went out with Cui Jing. There was no naughty child of five or six years old. I don't remember what mistake he made... I just remember that his father punished him in the snow in front of a group of us. We have been kneeling for most of the day." Wei Shuyi said with emotion: "Cui always pays attention to the rules and respects in doing things and never scolded or blamed us. But after this incident, no one dared to play with Cui Jing anymore."

A child of five or six years old knelt in the snow and shivered. His father stood on the porch with a cold face, and his servants stood by. The child in the snow could not bend even a little, and had to kneel straight at all times.

The wall of Cui Mansion was extremely high, so high that he couldn't see the outside scene, and it was covered with thick snow, which isolated everything. He still remembered the suffocating, depressing and cold feeling back then.

But he just watched, and only saw it once, so he remembered it to this day -

"If the rules at home are so strict, then why did he become a military commander?" Chang Suining asked this question that had confused him ever since he heard Cui Jing's name.

"This..." Wei Shuyi paused, seeming to consider his words.

There are almost 3,000 words today. Rounding up means adding more words!

(Recently, the children in the kindergarten class at home have been humming a song. To be precise, it is a folk tune. Although it is a bit strange, let it go...but I never heard what he was singing clearly until my uncle told me today. , the first line of the lyrics is: Get up early in the morning to pick up dung...

Has been brainwashed.
