Hello Chang'an Chapter 438

Chapter 438 Cui Ling'an, a warrior

In the sight, the man was wearing a civil official robe with wide sleeves, a jade crown and a face like the dawn on a spring mountain. It was originally a refreshing appearance, but at this moment, in Cui Jing's eyes, it felt inexplicably an eyesore. —

And the "eyesore" had already smiled and raised his hand, congratulating him with a salute: "Congratulations to Commander Cui on the triumphant return of the army."

This was no one else, but Wei Shuyi who had returned from Dongluo.

Soon, seven or eight other officials wearing robes of different grades appeared, and they all came forward to congratulate Cui Jing.

Cui Jing raised her hand to return the salute, with no emotion on her face: "Cui Jing didn't know that all of you might be disrespectful when you come here, so please forgive me."

Wu Siqing quickly waved his hand and said: "I heard the good news about Governor Cui's defeat of the Mohe cavalry on the way, so I came here to congratulate you in order to make my own decisions..."

Wei Shuyi nodded with a smile: "Exactly, we came here uninvited, and we need to ask Governor Cui for his forgiveness."

On the twelfth day of the first lunar month, they set off from Dongluo and returned to Dasheng. After learning from the Andong Protectorate that Kangding Mountain was dead and the war situation in Jizhou and Yingzhou had been calmed down, Wei Shuyi chose to change his route.

On the way, they heard that Cui Jing had won a great victory. At Wei Shuyi's suggestion, the envoys simply stayed in Youzhou for a few more days, half to rest and half to congratulate and thank him.

The thank you was naturally due to Cui Jing sending troops to help.

"Cui was of no help at all." As Cui Jing spoke, he looked at Chang Sui Ning, who was listening to Chang Sui'an's low voice.

Some officials could not hide their admiration and said: "This time, Governor Cui took back Jizhou and Yingzhou without spending a single soldier, and made the Pinglu rebels turn back in time. This is not only a great achievement, but also a great achievement." The kindness is immeasurable.”

Cui Jing still looked at Chang Suining and said meticulously: "This matter is all due to the fact that Chang Jishi came all the way to help. Cui, a martial artist, is just following Chang Jishi's policy."

Hearing this, Chang Sui Ning raised his head and looked at him: "?"

She is indeed somewhat powerful, but why does this power belong to her alone?

Wei Shuyi silently clicked his tongue - what a "warrior Cui Ling'an".

Not far away, Chang Ji also twitched the corner of his mouth - how is this different from his husband's sentence "Wei Shuyi is old and pearls are old"?

After hearing Cui Jing's words, the officials naturally shifted the focus of admiration and flattery to Chang Sui Ning.

Tan Li sincerely admired: "It turns out that the plan in Jizhou City came from Chang Jishi! In the past few days, I have never heard Chang Jishi mention it... Such an interlocking and ingenious plan without killing a soldier is really a genius in planning. also!"

When Chang Sui'an heard the word "genius", his eyes lit up and he looked at Tan Li - his confidant!

Chang Sui An and You Rong said honestly: "If my sister doesn't become a general, she would be a first-rate genius as a military advisor!"

Chang Sui Ning Congshan Ruliu nodded: "Well, if there is no more fighting one day, I will change my career to become a military advisor."

"The birth of such a strategist will surely lead to competition from all quarters!"

"Isn't it overkill?"

The officials were joking and laughing, and the atmosphere was uniquely harmonious.

There has never been harmony between Dasheng's civil servants and military commanders, but at this time, this situation has created a different atmosphere.

As far as Wu Siqing and other officials were concerned, they had to be rescued first by Chang Suining and Cui Jing, and at this time they had a great victory, and it was such a rare great victory -

They were in the territory of Guandong this time, and this victory directly guaranteed their safety. Otherwise, if Youzhou fell and the Mohe cavalry were allowed to enter the territory, it would be difficult for them to return to the capital.

Of course, the interests of the country and the country are on one side, but what is more likely to make people feel grateful and happy is their own safety at hand. This is the most practical reason for human nature.

Furthermore, along the way, they have seen too many tragic scenes in the war, and they are increasingly able to understand the devastation of the brutal war on the national strength and the people's livelihood. This time they were able to regain Jizhou and Yingzhou so safely. , it becomes really valuable.

This time, in addition to repelling and expelling the Mohe alien tribe, this forced external war was indeed worthy of being fought without bloodshed internally.

Wei Shuyi looked at Chang Sui Ning.

So, when she said "there are more important things to do", was it because she came here to fight without bloodshed?

Reciting these four heavy words in his heart, and being surrounded by a group of armored soldiers at this moment, he seemed to see what she looked like when leading the army "in the past".

Throughout last year, he had read through her Xuanhe's achievements many times, but in the end he had only read through them. Until now, seeing such a person standing in the army she founded in the past, all the written records became clear. The true form came out of those merit books and became her sword, her armor, her war horse, her high spirits and perseverance, and at the same time, she finally condensed into a real and complete "her".

Wei Shuyi suddenly felt that he finally really knew "her".

People in the world are afraid of ghosts, and they are afraid of evil ghosts and resentful ghosts. But how has such a "she" ever shown resentment to the world, and how has she ever shown evil to the world?

Facing such an incomparably radiant soul, it would be too ignorant and shallow for him to only be afraid, wouldn't it?

"Shilang Wei?"

A soft call brought Wei Shuyi back to his senses.

Tan Li smiled and did not delve into why Minister Wei was distracted in this bustle. He just said: "Servant Wei, let's go too."

Only then did Wei Shuyi notice that everyone had followed Cui Jing to the tent.

Most of the officials just sent Cui Jing to the tent, exchanged a few words of greetings, and then left at the right time, without taking up too much time after Cui Jing returned to camp.

Cui Jing invited them to stay for two more days and leave before leaving after the military celebration banquet.

Wu Siqing and others readily agreed.

After all the officials left one after another, only a few familiar generals were left in the tent. Chang Sui'an couldn't help it anymore and talked about his achievements with his sister. He killed the enemy bravely and even killed A general with some surname in the Mohe army.

Chang Sui'an described how embarrassed he was, but that didn't stop him from vividly recreating the situation at that time: "... He used exactly the same set of marksmanship that we had practiced in Beijing!"

"Ning Ning, I didn't realize until I got to the battlefield that the marksmanship you used when we were sparring in the past didn't seem to have much to offer, but it was actually more practical and extremely accurate in defeating the enemy!"

Kang Zhi, who was standing beside Chang Sui Ning, was shaken when she heard this, with a look of longing on her face.

After listening to Chang Sui'an's tireless words, and several other generals also full of praise, Chang Sui Ning smiled and nodded: "It sounds like my brother is really brave, and he has achieved considerable military exploits during this trip."

"Girl." At this time, the sword boy suddenly spoke, cupping his fists at Chang Sui Ning, and said with a steady gaze: "My subordinate wants to expose Lang Jun for three reasons-"

Chang Sui'an, who still had a smile on his face, looked at the sword boy in disbelief: "?"

Why do you want to expose him?

The sword boy said with an upright expression: "First, Lang Jun did not listen to dissuasion and left the team once without authorization. Second, Lang Jun ignored the danger and rushed into the enemy's formation. Third, when he was resting in the middle, Lang Jun still secretly I practiced shooting all night, not caring about conserving my strength.”

Chang Sui'an was stunned when he heard this: "Sword boy, you..."

He didn't know when the sword boy had recorded so many black accounts of him!

What a battlefield judge!

Chang Suining sighed. She knew that some of the injuries on her brother's face were self-inflicted.

She originally thought that Sui'an's temperament was much more peaceful than that of Lao Changyuan, but this time on the battlefield, wasn't it the impulsive behavior of Lao Changyuan when he was young?

It's true that Zhenno was carved from the same mold.

Hearing his sister's sigh, Chang Sui felt guilty: "Ning Ning, I..."

Sensing the change in the atmosphere, Vice General Yu coughed lightly, found an excuse to resign, and left. Several other generals quickly followed, and the lively scene where they all praised Chang Sui'an just now no longer existed.

This atmosphere is like holding a child. Everyone is happy to hold a smiling child, but if the child looks like he wants to cry, then he should hug him as far as possible.

Seeing that everyone was gone, Chang Sui'an became even more flustered. Chang Sui Ning sat there cross-legged and looked at the restless young man: "Of course I have said that my brother is like my father, he is very talented, but generals are also honed. If they are honed halfway, they will not be able to do it." If it's gone, why should we talk about being a general?”

"Brother is back safely this time. In addition to being protected by my colleagues, there are also many good fortunes. But brother must not regard this luck as his true ability."

Hearing Chang Suining's gentle tone, Chang Sui'an's expression slowly changed from uneasy to introspective.

"On the battlefield, swords and guns have no eyesight. No matter where you are, there is no reason to retreat, but the method of martyrdom is divided into high and low. As a soldier, dying under the sword of a powerful enemy is to get a deserved death. But if you die on your own Under the arrogance and carelessness, it is worthless.”

"Brother, can you understand?"

Changsui An was ashamed and solemnly nodded: "Ning Ning, I took note of it."

In fact, he was also afraid when he had several brushes with death, but the joy of victory and military success quickly made him put that fear behind him, and he did not even bother to think about it.

But my sister was so kind. She didn't get angry with him or blame him. She just advised him in a persuasive way.

When Chang Sui'an was moved, she saw her younger sister turning to look at her superior: "Captain Cui—"

Hearing this voice, Cui Jing nodded: "I also wrote it down."

Chang Sui Ning: "...what is Cui Dadu Governor doing?"

What's the difference between this and the number one scholar who has already won three yuan in a row, coming to listen to her lecture on elementary education?

But that person was very serious: "What you said makes sense."

Seeing that there was no hint of hypocrisy or flattery in his expression, Chang Sui Ning was speechless for a moment before he said what he wanted to say: "Since he is a soldier under the command of Governor Cui, I have to bother Governor Cui to decide the rewards and punishments for his merits and demerits."

Cui Jing looked at Chang Sui'an and nodded: "Okay, I'll punish you."

Chang Sui'an had a bitter look on his face for a moment, but he knew that he had committed the crime and did not complain. He cupped his hands and said, "I am willing to accept the punishment."

Cui Jing asked Yuan Xiang to take Chang Sui'an to find Deputy General Yu.

Chang Sui'an went there with Judge Jiantong.

The situation on the battlefield is changing rapidly, and it is more important to adapt to the current conditions. There are always mistakes, but in the end the merits outweigh the faults, and even punishment will never reach the point of using a military stick. At most, they would run around the military exercise ground afterwards, carry sandbags and hit the horse's feet with small punishments and big warnings, just to improve their memory.

When Chang Suining was about to leave, Wei Shuyi, who had just fallen behind, came over alone.

Wei Shuyi thanked Cui Jing alone. It was he who wrote the letter asking for help, and Cui Jing agreed to help without a moment's hesitation. He was grateful for this and expressed his gratitude.

Seeing Cui Jing's indifferent expression, Wei Shuyi sighed: "There are no outsiders here, Cui Ling'an, even if you admit that you and I are inseparable and have a deep friendship, what can you do?"

Cui Jing's expression did not change: "How come there are no outsiders? Aren't you the right one?"

Wei Shuyi didn't feel hurt, but smiled: "No, I am not an outsider, but a thief."

As he spoke, his eyes seemed to be looking at Chang Sui Ning who was sitting opposite.

Chang Sui Ning is confused, what is a thief? Why are you looking at her?

She subconsciously looked at Cui Jing with doubtful eyes, but she saw that although Cui Jing was sitting upright, he felt uncomfortable.

The next moment, Cui Jing started to chase people away: "Cui is tired from the journey. If Minister Wei has nothing important to do, please help yourself."

Wei Shuyi nodded with sympathy in his eyes: "Yes, it can be seen that Governor Cui is indeed very tired. He is covered in dust and dust, and his demeanor is no longer what he used to be. This shows that he is really working hard."

"..." Cui Jing lowered his head subconsciously. Through the tea soup in the tea bowl in front of him, he saw that he was dusty and bearded, and his body suddenly stiffened slightly.

He has been marching and fighting for many years, and has become accustomed to military life. He will not look in the mirror once a year, and ignores his appearance. In order to deter the enemy, he often deliberately makes himself look rough -

At this time, Wei Shuyi had stood up and raised his hands to salute with impeccable manners. The word "Fengya" seemed to be written from head to toe.

Cui Jing considers herself not a person who cares about her appearance, and even once felt very troubled because her face was too good-looking.

Naturally, he is by no means a shallow and boring person who would compare his appearance with others...

but…

now…

In front of Chang Sui Ning, looking at Wei Shuyi who became more and more elegant under such deliberate efforts, it was difficult for him not to feel like a first-class rough man or even a savage who had just returned from hunting in the mountains.

For the first time in my life, I felt uneasy because of my appearance.

Wei Shuyi achieved his goal and turned to Chang Sui Ning with a smile: "Chang Jishi, Governor Cui is tired, so you and I won't bother you anymore, right?"

Chang Sui Ning was about to leave, but at this moment he nodded and stood up, saying to Cui Jing: "Then you go and rest first. If you have anything to do, we can talk about it later."

Cui Jingwei nodded: "...that's fine."

Watching the two people leave together, Cui Jing closed her eyes, and when she opened them again, she said: "Here comes -"

Soon a soldier came forward and asked, "What are the orders from the Grand Governor?"

Cui Jing: "Prepare water for me to wash away the dust."

The soldier was stunned for a moment, now?

In broad daylight, the Governor unexpectedly wanted to take a bath immediately, uncharacteristically?

The soldier responded and did as he was told.

When Yuan Xiang heard about this, he felt like a mirror - he had already seen it in his eyes, and it was obvious that Wei Shilang was showing off in front of the governor every day!

Yuan Xiang, not willing to lag behind Chang Ji, quickly took over the matter and brought a brand new robe for his governor. He also caught the doctor Cao who happened to be looking for him and asked about the method of quickly rejuvenating his appearance.

Doctor Cao was refreshed and couldn't be more happy, "God, finally!" He finally waited for the day when Governor Cui was willing to make good use of his face!

Due to the interference of Yuan Xiang and Doctor Cao, Cui Jing was forced to bathe for nearly half an hour.

Just as he was neatly dressed and **** his hair, he heard someone outside the tent tying his hands and asking for forgiveness.

The ones who came were Shi Man and several generals from Pinglu Army.

Shi Man and others **** their upper bodies and tied their hands behind their backs. They entered the tent and knelt down one after another: "The sinner Shi Man, come here to plead guilty."

But when they raised their heads and saw the young man sitting at the head, they couldn't help but be stunned.

4200 words, good night my dears~
