Chapter 1269 1269: One battle determines the southwest (6) [Please vote]
Cui Hui is much softer than she thought.
Old grievances over the years turned into sighs in front of my mother’s mourning hall.
She held on to her tiredness and looked down at him.
In her memory, her father, who was always gentle and elegant, with a graceful air all over his body, was actually old, and she had already lost a close blood relative. The remaining one had his own shortcomings, and she was afraid that she would regret it. spend the rest of your life. Cui Huidao: "Before she died, my mother... left you a last word. She said that she didn't hate you much about what happened back then, she just hated God's will to trick people."
I hate this world where it is difficult for ordinary people to live in peace.
Cui Xiao had no reaction to her words, and Cui Hui didn't bother to care whether he could hear it or not: "My mother also said that in fact, she also has something against you. If Aweng hadn't been childless in his life, he would have been too obsessed. , with your temperament, you may not go into those troubled waters. "
How can your ancestors be good people who were bandits?
In Aweng's generation, the world is even more chaotic.
It is difficult to raise a male, and Aweng only has one daughter, Aniang, in his whole life, so it is too difficult to continue the bloodline. Perhaps it was God's blessing that he unexpectedly adopted a young adopted son-in-law, who happened to have the cultivation talent that only high-ranking people had, so Aweng couldn't help but have other thoughts. If this son-in-law can succeed, won't the past of Lao Cui's family be wiped out?
Future generations can also live an upright life, instead of continuing to live in the mountains and forests, being on tenterhooks all day long like mice.
Over time, this became a problem for Aweng.
As for my father, he also agreed with Aweng’s plan.
Times have changed, and Cui Hui also tried to understand his parents' difficulties.
The mother also tried to untie her daughter's knot before she died.
[Some things cannot be entirely blamed on my filial brother. 】
He didn't feel much when he stayed in the village, but after leaving the village, his life experience, status, talent, background... these were naked realities that he had to face. The gap is so big that the people he regards as treasures become scum that everyone else can despise.
Don't talk about anything else, just that his children will discuss marriage in the future, and his in-laws will ruin his flesh and blood because of this. He goes crazy just thinking about it.
His sister should be given a title, and his children should be hereditary officials. This lineage of the Cui family can shine in the family. From then on, they have completely got rid of their background as a bandit, and no one dares to ridicule them with their background. Talk about things. However, he never thought that this road would cost so much. How could he not hate Qi Yuanliang for interfering? How can you not hate yourself as the executioner?
Cui Xiaomuran listened to his daughter's story.
He smiled weakly: "She is to blame."
At least this time she is to blame.
Cui Hui didn’t understand the implication, but he didn’t delve into it.
The son brought a bowl of warm water to Cui Xiao and sighed: "The nunnery has limited resources. My father drinks some warm water to moisten his throat first. Don't make yourself too embarrassed. I'm afraid my mother will feel uneasy after seeing it." ”
Cui Xiao finished his drink in silence.
Passing the wooden bowl back, he finally saw his son clearly.
The son felt uncomfortable staring at him. He touched his face, which was shiny and shiny after not washing for two days, and the fat bulges under his fingertips. He stretched out his handsome features when he was young, and looked at There was more than one sign of swelling: "Isn't this... gaining weight in middle age?"
He squatted next to his old father, one person equal to the latter's two.
Making clothes all year round costs money.
Cui Xiao couldn't finish his words and looked away, saying in a hoarse voice: "It's not easy for your mother to still be willing to recognize you."
Kewu likes good colors, how could my sister not have this hobby?
His son was so cute when he was born. He was beautiful from a baby to a teenager. He thought he would last for a long time, but he never imagined that he would look like this in middle age. The son turned to look at the coffin, with a slight twitch in his mouth: "Mother doesn't think her son is ugly."
It won't be that he will not recognize him if he gets fat.
Speaking of which, during the holidays, his mother was indeed closer to his children and Big Bear Ermi, and spoke concisely to him, but he thought this was because of his maturity and stability. Parents and children are getting older, and it is no longer appropriate to cuddle and cuddle as before.
Cui Xiao looked at the coffin: "I will find it objectionable."
My sister said that she would not like the child if it was too ugly.
The son muttered angrily: "That must be a joke."
The more he spoke, the less confident he became.
When he was young, he was also a handsome boy from all over the country, but his life was too comfortable and he couldn't keep his mouth shut. In just six months, his cheeks became more rounded and his jawline was clear before he ran away from home. At the Mid-Autumn Festival family dinner that year, my mother came from the nunnery to reunite. Her eyes widened when she saw him, and his expression seemed to speak a thousand words, but in the end she said nothing.
Looking back now, I guess it was not a good thing to say.
He pursed his lips like he did when he was a child, and was about to make a few excuses - when he reaches middle age, his children will be able to flourish in two years. If they are fatter, they will be fatter, and if they are uglier, they will be uglier. He needs to be someone's son-in-law, as long as his wife doesn't dislike him - but before he could even start his defense, he saw his father look away.
Son: "..."
Cui Zhi: "..."
The mother-in-law may not be entirely responsible for Ke Wu's color problem.
Before the wake, Cui Xiao had to deal with some things.
For example, waiting for news at the foot of the mountain.
"If I don't come back for a long time, I'm afraid there will be a misunderstanding and disturb my sister's final peace." Cui Xiao bent down to pick up the dusty knife fan and patted it. He closed his eyes and opened them again. If you ignore the red and swollen eyes, you can no longer see the obvious sadness on his face.
Cui Zhi stood up and followed him: "My son-in-law gives my father-in-law a ride."
Cui Xiao looked at Cui Zhi who was following him and sneered.
“You have the guts to come.”
Cui Zhi also said calmly: "My mother has not passed the first seven years."
If the other party is really shameless and takes advantage of him to send him down the mountain, Cui Zhi can only admit that he is unlucky. Weng and son-in-law were silent all the way, and Cui Zhi stopped a few miles away from the Eternal Life Cult. His face was calm, but he was carefully observing in his heart.
Most of the Eternal Life believers are a mob.
How do the rabble know how to organize troops?
Everywhere I go, it’s like locusts passing through, leaving a mess.
Just scattered sand can hardly form a climate.
The one in front of me is different.
It can be seen from the various positions that they have been trained by others. Even if they are not comparable to regular soldiers and horses who have experienced hundreds of battles, they are still better than the ragtag group of people who generally fight on their own. I've passed a lot, and I'm afraid it has something to do with him, Old Taishan.
Cui Zhizheng was thinking when Lao Taishan came out.
I was dressed as a mourner, and all the bright colors were removed.
Cui Xiaodao: "It's done, let's go."
There was another silence when going up the mountain.
Cui Zhi used his peripheral vision to secretly observe Lao Taishan, sighing inwardly at his tenacity. If the person lying in the coffin was Ke Wu, he might not be able to regain his sanity in a short time. Not only did Lao Taishan calm down, he still had business in mind and even made a special trip to explain it.
He can understand the other party, and he may be unkind in Ke Wu's eyes.
In a short while, the night was quiet.
Cui Zhi and his brother-in-law accompanied Lao Taishan to watch the funeral.
Cui Xiao looked at his son: "What are you doing here?"
The son almost choked and said angrily: "Even if I continue to 'things are different and people are different', father You shouldn’t dislike me in front of my mother-in-law. I'm worried that you'll cry so hard that the sky is dark and the earth is dark... Good intentions are just like a donkey's liver and lungs, and I will definitely sue you one day when I fall asleep!"
Cui Xiaodao: "It's an eyesore."
My son is so angry that he has veins on his forehead. Jump violently.
But he still didn't throw up his sleeves and leave.
Even if he had to leave, it was his father who should leave!
Cui Zhi: "..."
Cui Xiao looked at the altar table and murmured: "No way."
No one in the world can make him cry like this. .
The first seven nights passed extremely long. Cui Xiao looked outside the door from time to time, expecting a gust of night wind to bring her news, but unfortunately there was no wind until dawn. Cui Zhi had chosen a geomantic treasure spot on the mountain two days ago and ordered people to dig a grave. "Time is tight, we will build a new grave for my mother in the future."
The coffin was carried for burial, and the grave was buried with new soil until the face was completely covered.
Cui Xiao laid out the sacrifices and stared at the unengraved tombstone for a long time: "Sister, I won't let you wait too long."
Because something happened in the nunnery, Cui Hui Go down the mountain one step early.
After the processing was completed, she waited left and right, but only her brother came.
“Where are my father and Zhishan?”
“Brother-in-law, didn’t they come down with you?”
Cui Hui shook his head: “No.”
“There’s only one way up the mountain, and I’ve just been I haven't seen anyone coming down here..." As he said this, he wanted to go up the mountain to look for him again. He knew his father. Except for his eldest brother, he had never recognized anyone else as my sister's husband. "My father would not take the opportunity to follow me. Brother-in-law, is he acting like Lao Taishan? His temper..."
I want to speak but stop, I stop but I want to speak.
My father had been Aweng's deputy for several years, so no matter how much he learned about poetry, books and spirituals, he could not completely eradicate the predatory and tyrannical nature of bandits. His brother-in-law would suffer a terrible disaster.
Cui Huihan's face turned pale: "I don't dare to forgive him!"
That's what he said, but he was still honest in his actions.
The siblings turned back and went up the mountain to search.
Apart from the newly renovated solitary grave on the top of the mountain, nothing else was seen. The two searched carefully and finally found a lost jade pendant in an inconspicuous corner. He swallowed nervously, his hands trembling: "Brother-in-law's jade pendant?"
The children of the aristocratic family restrain themselves with jade ornaments and will not let go of them easily.
Not to mention his brother-in-law, the head of a wealthy family.
In addition to the jade pendant, the two looked for other clues.
“This fan...has words on it?”
The fan of knives belonged to their father.
At first, I thought my father left the knife fan to accompany my mother, so I didn’t look carefully when I checked it. I just discovered that there was writing on it. Before, the knife fan was blank: "What was written?"< br>
"Borrow...Cui Zhishan...for use?"
At this moment, the wind on the top of the mountain was a little noisy.
The foxtail grass near the new grave sways gently.
Cui Zhi knew that Lao Taishan might use dirty tricks to deal with him, but he didn't expect that the dirty tricks would come so quickly and so shamelessly!
“A sneak attack is against the principles of a gentleman...”
What’s more, they are still in a relationship between son-in-law and son-in-law!
Cui Zhi thought he was used to big winds and waves, but this scene before him was really unexpected! Cui Xiao sneaked up on him from behind, half carried and half dragged him, and swaggered down the mountain in front of his brother-in-law. Cui Zhi wanted to call for help, but the pill palace was blocked, and his throat was blocked by Wen Qi and he couldn't make a sound - the other party's [Suppressing Words and Seizing Sound] was so skilled that it could be used instantly, catching him off guard!
Cui Xiao sneered: "pedantic! Soldiers are deceitful. I have to tell you in advance to deal with you? Isn't it stupid?"
Does Cui Zhi believe this?
Cui Zhi really didn’t believe it, he just wanted to remind Lao Taishan to save face. Before going down the mountain, he was still stable. The only way down the mountain was guarded by people, including his own men. There were many brave and capable warriors to guard him. Cui Xiao could not take him away.
"Isn't my father-in-law afraid that this will make Kewu sad?"
"The old one won't go away, the new one won't come, and you have reconciled with her. Why is she sad for you?" Cui Xiao didn't have enough money, so he stabbed his son-in-law with a knife. He also kindly reminded Cui Zhi, "Don't expect it." Your men can come to save you.”
Cui Zhi initially thought that there was Cui Xiao in the mountains, so he could be so unscrupulous, until he saw his old Taishan swaggering through several layers with [Chasing the Wind and Sneaking the View]. At the checkpoint, the guard was unconscious, and Cui Zhi's calm face finally cracked.
"...Moreover, you are the leader of the Cui clan of Qi State and a confidant of the leader of Qi State. I don't need to say anything about your importance. Forget it if we haven't met each other. Since we have met, how can we return empty-handed?"
Cui Zhi She laughed angrily at his words.
As soon as the mother-in-law's first seven days passed, Cui Xiao robbed someone on the back foot.
Is this still something that humans can do?
Cui Zhi, the head of the Cui family and the head of the Southwest Branch, never dreamed that he would fall into the hands of the enemy in this way.
Cui Xiao brought back a big fish.
“Why are you back now?”
Cui Xiao’s old friend was surprised to see him.
“Who is this young descendant?”
“My former son-in-law, Cui Zhi, the head of the Cui family.”
Old friend: "Real or fake???"
Cui Xiao sneered: "It's true."
Cui Zhi also laughed angrily.
It is not without reason that his old father-in-law was abandoned by his wife and hated by his children! It's purely his own fault!
My old friend frowned: "There is no use in catching him here."
After all, he is Cui Xiao's son-in-law, so he cannot leave the sacrificial flag to the Lord.
Cui Xiao: "How can it be useless? As long as it is closed, Cui will have no one to take charge. How many obstacles will it cause for us?"
Can we sell a good one later? Price.
My old friend nodded thoughtfully: "That's true."
Cui Zhi can't be killed, so he can only take care of him, leaving this hard job to Cui Xiao. However, he still wanted to say something about Cui Xiao: "It doesn't matter whether the battle situation is good or bad. If you have something to do at home, just take care of your family first. No matter how long it takes, seven or eight days will still take care of you."
Cui Xiao's face darkened: "No need."
He then said: "Send someone to go to the mountain to get the medicinal materials."
Cui Zhi was almost shocked by his shamelessness.
"My father-in-law took my people and still wants Cui's medicine?"
Cui Xiao was noncommittal about this.
He ordered people to take Cui Zhi down and keep him under strict supervision.
After he left, he spat out a mouthful of black-red blood under the horrified look of his old friend, and his whole face was so white that it was almost transparent. The old friend held his wrist to support him, and the next moment he panicked: "Cui Shanxiao, what happened to your meridians and elixir..."
Not only that, even the heart veins were damaged.
This pulse does not seem to be a sign of longevity, but rather...
"Someone hurt you?"
Cui Xiao pulled his hand away and coughed: "It's just self-inflicted."
When his friends thought about the reason why Cui Xiao went up the mountain for a night, they swallowed back their words of persuasion. Cui Xiao didn't want others to pity him.
"Put away your eyes!"
My old friend did not let him be willful: "Xinglin doctors can heal."
Cui Xiao changed the subject: "It's just a little The child has internal injuries, why should we alert the medical department? At this point, there is no need to waste the opportunity for such trivial matters. Cui Zhishan is in our hands, whether it is to restrain the Cui family or to instigate civil strife in the Cui family, the Lord does not have much time, and the Southwest Continent is not worth wasting time."

I went shopping today and paid with cash for the first time in three or four years. Then the boss asked me for 64 and gave me 4 coins. I thought it was a dime, and I was about to say that I gave it by mistake. As a result, the boss said that the current one is like this_(:з」∠)_
The one-yuan coin in my memory was not so small. The gloss looked like a dime before.
When I got it, I thought I had got counterfeit money.
