Hello Chang’an

Chapter 654: Love Is Not Encountered in a Hundred Years (If you don’t like emotional dramas, don’t enter)

The sound of horse hooves slowed down, and as the distance shortened, the waiting officials were able to see the leader.

Many officials had not seen Cui Jing for a long time, including Chang Kuo. They had not seen each other for nearly five years. When they met again, they saw that the young man was still as eye-catching as they remembered. Time and war had given him an even more awe-inspiring aura. .

Sweat washes his handsome face like a clear spring, refreshing and cleansing him. When he dismounts from his horse, his robes flutter with the warmth and freshness unique to the summer wind.

In this situation, if you focus on that face first, it will inevitably seem to be taking precedence over others. Self-disciplined people have begun to reflect on whether they are too shallow, but after repeated questioning, they feel that it is really not the case. ...Such a level of beauty is truly rare in the world. It is only human nature that they would be deprived of their sight.

Everyone reconciled with their love for beauty very well, but they just reminded themselves repeatedly not to be deceived by this beauty, thereby ignoring the danger of this person.

All the officials consciously lined up on both sides to greet this young general who had made extraordinary achievements.

Cui Jing dismounted ten steps away from everyone, and at this moment he only looked at the figure walking towards him.

Everything in the world was quiet, and the chirping of the cicadas seemed to have disappeared out of thin air, but he clearly had not lost his hearing. He could clearly hear her brisk footsteps, and even the sound of her clothes gently blowing in the wind as she walked. Also clearly audible.

She walked over with a smile, and when she was about to reach him, Cui Jing belatedly raised her hand. Just when she was about to salute, Li Suining quickly reached out and held his left wrist.

 In Cui Jing’s feeling, time and the sound of wind suddenly slowed down.

The sleeves of her gown were as soft as flowing clouds, and her fingers were clean, white and strong. When Cui Jing looked at them, he subconsciously felt at ease. It seemed that after separation, she should not be injured again. Although she must be in a hurry, at least she would be It's really good to take good care of yourself.

Now that he is back, he will definitely not let her get hurt or put in danger again in the future.

All thoughts occurred in just a moment, and the sound of violent beating in the chest quickly covered everything.

Li Suining picked up Cui Jing and turned around to walk towards the crowd.

The summer wind blew up the corners of their clothes. Li Suining was in front and Cui Jing was behind. She pulled him with a smile, and he let her pull him in a daze.

 Some officials in the front couldn't help but be stunned when they saw this.

This...this, although it is said that the holding of hands between kings and ministers has been a good story since ancient times, and the general should be treated differently for such a great achievement, but...this scene looks like it is hard not to think too much!

 Is it because there are differences between men and women among the monarchs and ministers? Is there something wrong with their perspective on this matter?

Everyone's hearts were stirred up, and there were many speculations in their minds, but no one dared to reveal anything. The leading officials raised their hands and saluted, and their voices were as usual: "I congratulate the general on his triumphant return!"

 Sounds of salutes and congratulations come and go.

Li Suining calmly pulled Cui Jing to the front of the crowd, and at this moment he naturally let go of him, letting him return the favor: "Excuse me, all of you, sir, please wait here."

As everyone stepped forward to greet Cui Jing, Chang Ji, who was standing not far away, looked at the young general who was surrounded by the crowd but was not overwhelmed due to his height advantage... Chang Ji felt his eyes were stung. It hurts.

What he saw at this time was completely different from what Changji had imagined.

The Governor Cui in his imagination - rushing in the scorching summer sun, he must have a tanned and red face, a stubble on his face, dry lips and flaky skin, and a sour smell of sweat all over his body!

 But why is the Governor Cui in front of him as clean and attractive as a hibiscus? The beauty and beauty are even better than before!

The beauty in this world can not make sense, but it doesn't make sense to be so. If you have not dressed up early, Changji will not believe it!

He suspected that Governor Cui must have been hiding in the car all the way. At least he was wearing a hat to protect himself from the sun. More importantly, he must have washed his hands and changed clothes early when he was five miles away at most...

He is worthy of being a member of a noble family. In terms of scheming, he is not comparable to ordinary generals!

 Can no one see such serious scheming? Couldn’t a concubine who has experience in marching not see this?

In the midst of helplessness and resentment, Changji noticed a pair of eyes looking towards him. He glanced at them with his peripheral vision and knew it was Cui Yuanxiang, so he deliberately avoided the eyes.

Yuanxiang pursued Changji's gaze, but Changji continued to avoid it, looking to the right or left, looking at the sky, or staring at the weeds on the roadside, refusing to look at Yuanxiang and vowing not to leave Yuanxiang behind. Opportunity to show off demonstrations.

However, Yuanxiang persisted and walked closer and closer, almost putting his eyes on Changji's face.

“Changji, you have something wrong with your eyes too?” Yuan Xiang asked, “The other injuries shouldn’t matter, right? How is your health these days?”

"..." Changji looked at Yuanxiang's concern that didn't seem to be fake. He felt that this was clearly the relaxation and generosity of a winner. He didn't bother to treat him as an opponent anymore, and he was so friendly to him just now!

Chang Ji felt humiliated. Yuan Xiang noticed his emotions, patted him on the shoulder, and said with a smile: "I'll treat you to a drink later. When I was in Lingzhou last time, I promised to celebrate your success!"

Not far away, among the officials, Wei Shuyi smiled and said to Cui Jing: "Wei has been waiting for Governor Cui in the capital with Her Royal Highness for a long time. Today we finally waited for Governor Cui to return in triumph."

Cui Jing looked at him: "Thank you, Prime Minister Wei, for doing your duty and thinking about Cui so much. I will have a banquet and wine to thank you in the future."

"I'll serve the wine! Come back to my place!" Chang Kuo smiled heartily and walked over with a tiger stick.

Cui Jing raised her hand and saluted him: "General Chang."

Chang Kuo nodded with a smile, stretched out a hand, first patted Cui Jing's shoulder, then hit Cui Jing's chest, and nodded with satisfaction: "Not bad, not bad!"

Although it was hard to avoid being tired when traveling in the scorching heat, he was still quite strong, and he was very satisfied.

He has heard Meng Lie's general remarks. In a certain respect, he can be regarded as half a father-in-law. It is reasonable to be a father-in-law.

After finishing what his father-in-law should do, Chang Kuo asked what a father should ask: "By the way, is my brat also in the vanguard?"

Cui Jing nodded and looked back at the men and horses who were gradually following him.

Qiao Yubai quickly stepped forward to greet him, waving to the figure who had just dismounted: "Happy New Year!"

 “Yu Bai!”

Chang Sui'an dropped the reins and walked over quickly, hugged Qiao Yubai, and patted Qiao Yubai's back hard. Qiao Yubai felt that his heart and lungs were about to be beaten out: "...The battle was really not in vain. , you are so strong!"

"Of course, we haven't seen each other for almost five years! Yu Bai, you have changed a lot, you look like an adult!" Chang Sui'an looked at the crowd and asked, "Are my father and Ning Ning here?"

 “They’re all here!” Qiao Yubai confessed, “But please remember...”

However, before he finished speaking, Chang Sui'an couldn't wait and ran over quickly.

 Li Suining and Chang Kuo came over.

Chang Sui'an was as happy as a three-year-old child, almost jumping up and shouting: "Dad, Ning Ning!"

　　"Pa!" Chang Kuo slapped his son on the head and glared: "What Ning Ning? Call your highness!"

Qiao Yubai was not surprised when he tried to remind him, well...after all, he was beaten by his father because of this.

"Dad..." Chang Sui'an's eyes suddenly turned red. It’s not because of pain, Dad didn’t use even 20% of his strength, otherwise he would have flown two feet away, he just... missed Dad’s big ear scraper too much!

You know, he hasn’t seen his father for 1,800 days!

Chang Sui An dropped his robe and knelt down to Chang Kuo, choking and kowtowing: "Dad! My son is unfilial and has never been able to serve you..."

Chang Kuo felt very embarrassed. Just as he was about to drag him up, he suddenly heard a sound behind him, accompanied by the sound of slightly hasty footsteps: "Sui'an is back!"

Chang Sui'an raised her head and saw the eldest princess coming quickly with Li Tong. Chang Sui'an first called "Sister Li Tong", and then wanted to call the eldest princess, but she didn't know what to do on such occasions. How to shout appropriately? He looked at the grandmother whom he had already recognized with a questioning look.

He knelt there with tears in his eyes. He was weak and well-behaved. In the eyes of a mother, he was naturally pitiful and cute, and she couldn't refuse. In addition, the eldest princess thought this was a good opportunity to show off, so she asked Chang Kuo from an angle that Chang Kuo couldn't see. Sui'an nodded quietly and cast a loving and encouraging look.

Hence, Chang Sui'an's mouth tightened, and he let out an earth-shattering cry: "Aniang!"

 Then, an equally loud and choked response sounded: "Hey! My son!"

Chang Kuo's eyes widened and his scalp tightened: "?!"

 Just shout it out in public?

 He is still waiting to get Qiao again and let this woman Li Rong spend more time on him!

The response to this shout was clearly transmitted to the ears of many people present.

Except for the dumbfounded Qiao Yubai, everyone looked at her in shock. Everyone saw the eldest princess Xuan'an stepping forward and holding up General Chang Xiao who had returned from the battle with tears in his eyes.

Most people didn’t react.

First of all, His Royal Highness of the Grandma is holding the general of the general. I wonder if it is the princes and ministers and the other internal affairs?

At this moment, I suddenly heard that Princess Xuan'an and General Chang Xiao were called mother and son. I wonder if the mother and son are related by blood, or because Zhongyong Hou Gan is the minister of the princess? !

If it was the latter, according to the temperament of the eldest princess, why was she so moved and lost her composure?

If it's the former... doesn't it mean that Marquis Zhongyong and the eldest princess secretly gave birth to a child many years ago without telling everyone? !

Everyone's head was buzzing.

 But they are all mature officials. On the surface, they should not make a fuss about other people's private affairs, and they are even less likely to inquire about it face to face - even though they really want to.

An official saluted Her Royal Highness, and then offered a salute to General Cui Jing, suggesting: "It's hot here, and noon is approaching. Please, General, and all the soldiers enter the city as soon as possible."

 They were really a little impatient and eager to go back to chatting.

Li Suining looked at Cui Jing and said with a smile: "General, please come back to the city with me."

 “Yes, Cui Jing obeys the order.”

After Cui Jing bowed his hands and agreed, he did not get on the horse immediately. Instead, he followed Li Suining to the front of the carriage and raised one arm.

Li Suining naturally supported his raised arm and boarded the carriage.

Everyone who witnessed this scene couldn't help but feel surprised when they looked at Governor Cui - what kind of rebellious General Xuance was, this was clearly the wolfhound of Her Royal Highness!

 He waved and he immediately followed!

They have been working with Governor Cui, who has wielded great power at a young age, for many years. Have they ever seen this person so obedient?

This man's attitude towards His Royal Highness is particularly loyal, but he also shows love and affection. What is the secret...

 Seeing the Queen's chariot driving, Cui Jing also got on his horse to follow. An official finally couldn't help but stopped Wei Shuyi and asked in a roundabout way: "The Prime Minister Wei is a close confidant of His Highness the Queen... I wonder how Prime Minister Wei views this matter?"

Wei Shuyi smiled slightly and said bluntly, "You don't need to worry. Cui Ling'an is wise and courageous. Although he is worthy of being feared, he unfortunately has a love brain that is rare in a century. This is where this person lies."

Everyone had different expressions when they heard this. Some people doubted the belief and said: "But what if...he just used this to gain the trust of Her Majesty the Queen?"

Someone also whispered: "Even if it is true at this time, people's hearts are the most changeable. How can we simply rely on this?"



 “That’s right, this person has to be guarded against…”

“Prime Minister Wei should also advise Her Royal Highness to think more carefully...”

There is nothing private to say when it comes to the Emperor. Although some of the people who spoke had their own calculations, what they said was all good advice that was in line with the balance of pros and cons—

They will never look down upon the Queen who has come all the way here, and naturally they will not superficially think that the Queen is deceived by her beauty. On the contrary, this may be the Queen's check and balance...

However, the advantages and disadvantages of this strategy are obvious. The disadvantage is that if the emperor's wife chooses someone with a heavy army, even if the emperor's wife has no different intentions, it is equivalent to handing over a sword to those who have different intentions. This will be a huge hidden danger, even if it is not An immediate outbreak would not be conducive to the stability of the people of the country and the DPRK.

Wei Shuyi didn't think there was anything wrong with the thoughts of these adults, but they really didn't understand Cui Ling'an enough - Cui Ling'an's obedient attitude, wasn't it just telling everyone that "I am very obedient"?

The way Cui Lingan looked just now, he looked like a dangerous wolf trying to control his aura, even trying to learn to wag his tail twice to make himself look obedient and safe enough.

 Wei Shuyi wanted to laugh a little. He really didn't expect that he would be able to see Cui Ling'an today in his lifetime - could this be regarded as one thing descending upon another, one monkey tied to another?

 But Cui Ling'an probably underestimated how dangerous he was in the eyes of everyone.

 Wei Shuyi smiled, put his hands behind his back and got into the car. He didn't say anything more. It would be useless to talk more. He just looked down.

Not far away, Chang Sui'an helped his mother-in-law get on the carriage. Chang Kuo saw this scene and threw down the carriage curtain with a groan: "You bastard, you have a mother and forget your father... let's go!"

Chang Sui'an originally wanted to help his grandma and then his dad, but in the blink of an eye, his dad's carriage had already driven away.

Chang Sui'an was about to mount his horse, but Qiao Yubai, who finally took the opportunity, pulled him aside and asked in a low voice: "Sui'an...the eldest princess Xuan'an, is she really your biological mother?"

Haven’t Sui’an’s biological mother died long ago and was buried outside the city? In the past few years when Sui'an was away, he had added to graves, pulled grass, and burned paper... What on earth was going on?

“I haven’t asked Dad about the details yet…I’ll tell you later when I find out more about it.”

Seeing that he was also confused, Qiao Yubai had no choice but to nod, and then asked: "What about Ning Ning and Governor Cui..."

Qiao Yubai felt a little embarrassed after asking. He was not such a garrulous person to begin with...but these two things were really too exciting to stop.

When asked about Ning Ning and Governor Cui, Chang Sui'an had something to say, and he even looked slightly proud.
