Hello Chang’an

Chapter 19 Where did you hear this?

It was Cui Jing.

He was not marching today, so he was not wearing any armor. He had changed into a dark blue round-necked arrow-sleeved robe with dark patterns and a wavy belt around his waist, outlining a straight and smooth waist line.

When I saw him yesterday, I couldn't see his face clearly. Now that he was standing in the morning light, it dissipated like mist, and I finally saw the true appearance of Qingshan.

As his name suggests, he is as bright as jade.

This person's eyebrows are well arched and his nose bridge is high and straight, which makes his eyebrows and eyes even more profound, like a steep valley, hiding thousands of brilliance.

Looking further down, the light green stubble is still there -

At this moment, after seeing this face clearly, Chang Suining roughly understood why this person had a beard.

In the past, King Lanling was too handsome to impress his enemies, so he covered his face with a mask every time he went to the battlefield.

Of course, the appearance of the person in front of me was indeed too great, and it was not covered up too much by the layer of stubble, but it was still better than nothing, and it did add a bit of majesty.

"Come and meet Governor Cui!" Chang Kuo smiled and waved to Chang Suining.

Chang Suining had no choice but to walk over.

Under Chang Kuo's smiling gaze, she suppressed her discomfort, lowered her eyes and raised her hand towards Cui Jing: "I have met Governor Cui."

Chang Kuo didn't mention her identity, she didn't give her last name, and Cui Jing didn't ask any more questions. Maybe he knew about it, maybe he didn't intend to investigate, and he just nodded slightly and said "hmm".

"The memorial prepared by the governor will be sent back after I take a closer look at it," Chang Kuo said.

When returning to court after a battle, all soldiers in the army must prepare memorials and submit them to the saints. In addition to the details of the battle, there are also details of the meritorious service and casualties of each soldier - whether those who have meritorious service can be rewarded according to their merit, and whether the families of the casualties can receive pensions. On this.

Cui Jing personally drafted this memorial table, and then asked Chang Kuo to review it to see if there were any errors or omissions, and strived to be meticulous and meticulous.

Cui Jing nodded again and raised his hand to salute Chang Kuo. Chang Kuo raised his hand to return the salute and asked Chu Xing: "Send to Governor Cui."

Chu Xing sent people out of the courtyard and stayed behind at Cui Jing's signal.

At this time, Wei Shuyi happened to be coming towards this place.

"Captain Cui is here, what a coincidence." Wei Shuyi saluted.

Cui Jing looked calm: "What are you doing here?"

"I have come to pay a visit to General Chang." Wei Shuyi said with a smile: "As an official in the same dynasty, I am both a subordinate and a junior, both in public and private matters, so I come here to pay a visit."

As he said that, he looked at Cui Jing with a smile: "I originally planned to pay a visit to General Chang and then go to Governor Cui's office. Firstly, I want to express my gratitude. Secondly, I got some good tea when I came to Hezhou. It is suitable to have a drink with Governor Cui and reminisce about the past."

Cui Jing glanced at the things Chang Ji was carrying next to him and said, "I've collected the things. There's no need to go."

"...?" Wei Shuyi's smile faltered.

Yuanxiang has stretched out his hand towards Changji.

Changji's expression twisted and struggled, and he handed the things out stiffly.

Yuan Xiang snatched it slightly, with four big characters written on his slightly raised chin - Bring it to you.

"Let's go." Cui Jing walked away with no expression on her face.

Seeing that the person was walking away, Changji glared and said, "Lang Jun... what should we do now?"

That tea was brought by Lang Jun to General Chang Da!

As for why Lang Jun said it was for Governor Cui, apart from "Lang Jun's behavior is very ill", based on past experience, it is certain that Governor Cui would not pay attention to Lang Jun's words -

But who knew that Governor Cui would not act according to common sense!

"This Cui Ling'an... deliberately wants me to go in empty-handed." Wei Shuyi said "Hey" and looked at Chang Sui Ning and Chang Kuo who were already looking towards him in the courtyard - it was too late to send people back to prepare gifts.

Changji, who followed his husband to the courtyard empty-handed, felt that his face was really dull.

Not only because he paid homage to General Chang empty-handed, but also because he lost face in front of Cui Yuanxiang!

But who told my husband to be arrogant? Chang Suining roughly saw in his eyes the overturn of "what you owe will come to you" just now.

Chang Kuo was not a careless person. When he saw Wei Shuyi coming, he welcomed him warmly and agreed to set off together tomorrow.

…

Early the next morning, the army set off on time.

After that, we were on the road for four or five days.

When passing through cities and towns, Cui Jing refused to enter any of them. Local officials invited him to banquets, but he refused them all. During the day, they marched on their way, and at night they camped and rested with the soldiers.

Traveling in this way saves a lot of time.

"...Following Cui Jing, you don't have to worry about being intercepted and killed again. You can rest easy, but the Temple of the Five Internal Organs is suffering." In the tent, Wei Shuyi, who was cleanly dressed, sat cross-legged behind the small table, drying his vegetables and porridge in front of him. There is no way to eat the cake.

"Shilang Wei is more like Mr. Cui than Governor Cui." Chang Sui Ning drank a bowl of porridge and put down the bowl.

During the march, it was nice to have hot meals to eat, but sometimes I was in a hurry and didn't have time to set up a pot and light a fire. This was also the way back, so I wouldn't be too anxious.

"That's true." Wei Shuyi sighed with a smile, but he was sincere: "Cui Jing left home to join the army when he was twelve years old. At first, he even used his identity as a fake. He has already suffered a lot and is used to the life in the military camp. Indeed, It’s something I can’t compare to.”

"But... Miss Chang, who needs to eat meat every day, can eat this military food. It would be outrageous for Wei to continue to pick and choose." Wei Shuyi looked ashamed and picked up the porridge bowl. .

After taking two sips, he stopped silently.

Chang Sui Ning had no intention of watching him swallow, so he said, "Servant Wei, please use it with caution", then stood up and left the tent.

She was going to have dinner with Chang Kuo, but because Cui Jing was discussing matters in Chang Kuo's tent, she took the initiative to avoid it.

Chang Kuo ordered someone to set up a tent for her alone, and the servant girl was still cleaning it at this time.

"Mr. Lang!"

As soon as Chang Sui Ning arrived in front of Chang Kuo's tent, he saw A Che running over. With bright eyes, he stretched out his hands towards Chang Sui Ning: "Mr. Lang, look!"

The boy was seen holding a grass carp in each hand, and one of them was still wagging its tail.

Chang Suining was a little surprised: "You went to catch fish?"

"Yeah!" A Che nodded heavily: "Lang Jun hasn't eaten meat for two days, so I thought of trying my luck in the river behind... What do you want to eat, Lang Jun? I'll borrow a pot from them to make soup. Bar?"

It was still a cold spring night. Chang Suining glanced at his soaked trousers and sleeves and said, "It's troublesome. Let's just cremate him."

"Ah?" Ah Che was stunned for a moment, then nodded with a grin.

There was a fire next to the tent. Ah Che took out a kitchen knife and quickly cleaned the two fishes. After cleaning them, they salted them and put them on the fire.

When the fish was almost finished roasting, A Che's wet robe was also roasted dry.

Chang Suining sat aside, looking at the fire in trance, not knowing what he was thinking.

"Lang Jun, it's almost ready!" A Che turned the fish around and asked, "Would you like to send one to General Chang Da?"

Chang Suining's mind had not yet been completely withdrawn. He looked at the fire and said subconsciously: "No need. Since he almost lost half his life when a fish bone got stuck in his throat in his early years, he no longer eats fish."

"Huh?"

There were footsteps behind me and Chang Kuo's confused voice: "Sui Ning...where did you hear about this?"

Chang Suining was startled and immediately came back to his senses.

When she turned back like this, she happened to face Chang Kuo's big bearded face and a pair of eyes that were widened with curiosity, who was slightly bent over and looking at her with his hands behind his hands.
