Chapter 1305 1305: Welcome Master Wang (Part 1) [Please vote for me]
Cui Xiao couldn’t wait for Cui Hui to come over.
In the middle of the night, he received a message from someone sent by Cui Long.
Cui Xiao hurriedly put on his clothes and stood up. He didn't have time to comb it. He was arranging it as he walked. The blind man could also see that he valued the female monarch.
“What happened?”
The steward of Cui Long's house was out of breath all the way, and his legs were shaking and smoking before he could barely catch up with Cui Xiao, who was walking leisurely but extremely fast. I secretly complained in my heart that these scribes had the same virtue, but they all had two legs. They could take two steps as far as ordinary people could trot. He wiped his sweat: "There was an assassination in the house."
"Assassination? Was your daughter-in-law frightened? Were there any casualties in the house? Who did it? Was it the rebels lurking in the city?"
Cui Xiao expected that these days would not be peaceful.
No matter Cui Long’s reason, it is an indisputable fact that she colluded with the Eternal Life Cultists to open the city, and it is also a definite fact that the wealthy households in the city were raided and harassed. Whoever suffered heavy losses hated Cui Long. An ambush and assassination is bound to happen, and Cui Xiao has already ordered people to set up defenses near Cui Long's residence to protect her from the crisis.
“Only two were caught alive, the others committed suicide.”
The clothes of these people were covered up so that they could not see their way out.
Cui Long was worried that the two survivors would find an opportunity to commit suicide and did not dare to deal with it without authorization. He hoped to borrow someone from Cui Xiao. Only by avoiding future troubles can you sit back and relax. When Cui Xiao heard that Cui Long was just frightened, he felt reassured and galloped all the way to the other courtyard where Cui Long was.
The third courtyard is brightly lit.
From time to time, you can see several teams of servants patrolling.
When Cui Xiao arrived, the atmosphere in the hall was a little subtle.
Cui Long was wearing a plain white dress and a moon-shadow gauze blouse. Her black silk stockings were not tied up, and she was lost in thought by leaning on her hand. She was probably getting ready for bed when the assassination happened. There is a young man sitting on the left and right, one is slightly older and the other is slightly younger. There are some similarities between the eyebrows and eyes, but they have two different charms. There was also a man standing in the hall, wearing martial arts armor and filled with a murderous aura.
Three men, Cui Xiao knows two.
The younger one, and the general.
As for the killer lying on the ground, tied up with five flowers and imprisoned with a spirit of words, no one cared. Without even looking at it, Cui Xiao stepped on the back of one of them's hands. The one who was stepped on screamed in pain but could not make any sound. He must have been silenced.
The arrival of Cui Xiao broke the almost solid atmosphere.
The three men exchanged glances with subtle expressions.
They also didn’t expect that the person coming was Cui Xiao, a very important figure within the Eternal Life Sect rebels! As soon as the news of the assassination was handed over, someone went there in person. This doesn't mean taking it seriously. What does it mean to take it seriously? However, it seems to be taking it too seriously.
The older young man cast his peripheral vision at Cui Zhujun who was sitting at the top, secretly hating her for being romantic, but there was nothing he could do about it.
The other two have dealt with Cui Xiao and have a stable mentality.
The military general cupped his hands and clasped his fists: "Excuse me, Cui Lang."
"With a little effort, it's good that the lady is safe and sound."
Cui Xiao nodded slightly and guessed the relationships present at a glance. His mood was so complicated that he didn't know where to start - Cui Zhi, is this how he taught his daughter? ? But thinking about the private chaos in the aristocratic family circle, I felt that Cui Long had restrained himself.
But, you still have to pay attention to safety.
Men become jealous and have more tricks than women.
Under the influence of Cui Xiaoyan, the two killers told the truth obediently and made everything clear. Not surprisingly, they were dead soldiers raised by high-ranking families in the city. Cui Long took advantage of the opportunity of the Eternal Life Sect rebels to enter the city and killed them. Those who escaped took revenge on her.
They acted hastily and were not fully prepared, and Cui Long was protected by his side. Before the blood revenge is avenged, I will be exposed first.
Cui Long didn't even move his eyelids.
“It’s just tit for tat.”
“Witch, you fart!”
The dead man was so disheartened that he revealed his secret and there was no point in committing suicide again. . When I was desperate, I heard Cui Long say this, and I couldn't help crying and accusing Cui Long of his evil deeds. There are things like liaising with enemies from inside and outside, things that take away people's lives, and things that harm people's lives for the sake of wealth... In short, she will definitely have retribution and will not end well. The Cui family will end without heirs. Cui Xiao kept frowning after hearing this.
He said to the general: "Are you dead?"
The general's angry reading was interrupted: "Huh?"
Cui Xiao said quietly: "Either cut out his tongue, or Cut his neck. Humiliate the master, and still stand aside and listen?"
He gave orders too naturally, but it made others unable to do anything, including Cui Long. One of the two killers was killed, and the other was dragged down for custody. Use this person as bait to draw out other fish that have slipped through the net, and finally catch them all in one fell swoop.
Cui Xiao walked around the blood spatter on the ground and stepped forward to close the distance with Cui Long. Before he spoke, the other three people present looked at each other, wondering if they should be more sensible and make room.
When talking about spiritual cultivation, Cui Xiao's hand just now impressed the three of them.
It is better to have talent and strength than a slave with a face who can see things through and can only speak glibly.
But——
Cui Xiao’s magnanimity is unparalleled in the pool. If the master has a relationship with him, it will not end well if something happens in the future.
Cui Long is also guessing what Cui Xiao wants to say.
"...The female monarch comes from a high family, and has seen and heard more broadly than ordinary people. She also has an understanding of the current situation, otherwise you would not have helped Cui open the city gate. Times have changed, and the rules of Qi State have been put aside. In other countries, you may not be able to get through everything..."
Cui Xiao's words were not only devoid of warmth and comfort, but more like giving advice, without emotion, and were all a confrontation of interests.
Cui Long said: "Sir, you can speak frankly."
Cui Xiao tapped the blood on the ground with the fan in his hand.
"Cui didn't know why the female monarch had enmity, and he could guess a thing or two. The means of fighting for power and profit are also divided into light and dark. Some can be tolerated by the superiors, while others cannot see the light of day. The female monarch is like this It’s best to take stock and reflect on yourself for a while, and then cut it off.”
He just doesn't understand.
Did Ms. Cui deprive her of her treatment?
Cui Long's face turned cold.
Cui Xiao could see that she was unhappy, but she had already said it, so he simply said it all in one sentence: "It's chaos when we talk about shallow friendships." Cui also understands this truth, but he hopes that women Jun, I believe that Cui has no ill intentions towards Jun. He only wishes you well."
His response was too straightforward.
Cui Long was not only unmoved, but also suspicious.
She asked: "Are you my father's guest?"
The same surname is Cui, and he helps himself everywhere...
Cui Long can only think that Cui Xiao is her father's people.
Cui Xiao smiled and said: "If Cui dares to admit it, your father will not dare to accept it. It will shorten his life! However, we do have some friendship with him. Now Cui has only one way to go, to completely change sides. Kangguo. To be honest with you, Cui came from the west. Coming from the north, the troops of the Yongsheng Cult are just a cover-up, and the victory can be decided in at least half a year. Based on Cui's experience of serving as an official for several years, if the female monarch does not stop, she will be afraid of it in the future. It will harm Cui.”
Cui Long and others: "..."
They don't know the relationship between Cui Xiao and Kang Guo.
I didn’t expect Kang Guo to dare to expose his identity in public.
No, can they still walk out of this door alive?
"You said this, nothing happened?"
"What can happen? The soldiers and horses in the city are all Cui's. Those around the female monarch... shouldn't be able to overturn the situation." Cui Xiao glanced at the three people who were suspected of being the grandson's son-in-law, and tried hard to suppress it. weird. He was a little curious, how other people felt about the younger concubines in their family? Will it be as awkward as him?
Go back and ask Cui Zhi.
Cui Long: "..."
She didn't agree to Cui Xiao immediately, she just said she would think about it again.
It's not that Cui Long doesn't know what's good and bad, but the more she operates secretly, the more people are involved in every link, and many people rely on these businesses to make a living. She gives orders at will, which affects the livelihoods of dozens and hundreds of families... not to mention those partners who have direct interests involved.
Cui Xiao also knew not to be impatient.
After handling the assassination crisis and sending extra people to strengthen patrols nearby, Cui Xiao got up and left with confidence. Cui Long got up to see him off. After learning about the relationship between Cui Xiao and his father, Cui Long thought about changing his name. Personal terms of address can bring people closer together.
"Can I call you Shibo?"
As someone of the same generation as my father, this title cannot be wrong.
“It’s okay for your father to call me Shibo...” Cui Xiao almost stepped on the ground, “If you don’t mind, call me grandpa.”
With these words, Cui Xiao got on his horse and rode away.
Looking at his back, he seemed to be running away.
He didn't dare to stay for a moment.
A grandfather who has never appeared in his life, if he asks himself, Cui Xiao does not recognize him. He was afraid that Cui Long would resist, and even more afraid that Cui Long would refuse to admit it... so he chose to escape. Clumsy, but practical.
Cui Long: "...???"
He stood there dumbfounded, suspecting that his ears were hallucinating.
"What did he say just now? What did you call him?"
The older young man put her blouse neatly on her head.
“Call Grandpa.”
Cui Long was confused: “But wasn’t Grandpa long ago...”
She did not doubt that Cui Xiao was engaging in abstraction to take advantage of herself. After all, it was not impossible for his grandfather to descend from heaven. With Cui Xiao as her backer in the city, her safety is more secure, and she is happy to see it happen. In troubled times, close support is more reliable than family background.
It’s just——
I can’t help but think of my grandmother.
Does he know the news about his grandmother?
The other three people also breathed a sigh of relief.
It is much better to be the ancestor of the Lord than to be the newcomer to the Lord.
One night passed, Cui Long sent someone to deliver a message to Cui Xiao.
She will seriously consider Cui Xiao's proposal, but the interests are complicated and cannot be sorted out in a day or two. I hope Cui Xiao will give her some time to sort out the accounts. This decisive and sharp energy made Cui Xiao feel happy for several days.
【Sister, this child really looks like you. 】
Not only are they similar in appearance, but they also have similar temperaments.
The same decisiveness, the same quickness to cut through the mess.
While Cui Xiao was dealing with the trivial matters of Yongsheng's teaching soldiers and horses, he was thinking about other matters. He would laugh from time to time, which made his friends goosebumps all over the floor. He suspected that Cui Xiao had been poisoned by someone - it's okay. Why are you laughing so horribly? Not so beautiful.
“What do you know?”
Cui Xiao was in a great mood, shaking his knife fan.
Slowly said: "I, Mr. Cui, will have a successor."
Old friend: "...have you found your son?"
Cui Xiao's knife fan almost fell to the ground.
I remembered my son's red lips and white teeth when he was young and his current appearance that was almost disfigured, and he said disappointedly: "He, he can't do it."
Not like me, nor like my sister.
A person who is weak and can be bullied can only become a rich man.
Old friend: "..."
Coming with Cui Hui, there was also news that the new leader of the Qi State was forced to isolate the city, and that the four armies of the Kang State were advancing vigorously.
Cui Xiao used the resources of the Eternal Life Sect currently in his hands. Whenever Kang Guo’s troops arrived, he used the influence of the Holy Son of the Eternal Life Sect among the believers to cause trouble. With the help of his strength, he first let the Eternal Life Sect The rebels were at war with the local warlords, and Kang State took advantage of the situation.
If that doesn’t work, then use the public opinion of believers to spread rumors. It is not accurate to say that it is a rumor. There is indeed a shortage of food in the southwest countries. On the one hand, war is on the one hand, and on the other hand, it is the right time.
Wars have been frequent this year, and natural disasters have occurred in various places and there is no way to rescue them.
The more refugees there are, the more people will join the Eternal Religion rebels.
The larger the scale of the rebel army, the more difficult it is for local military defenses to withstand it.
Domestic and foreign troubles coupled with Kang's pressure on the country, the pressure can be imagined.
The influence of the Eternal Life Religion is not limited to those at the bottom. Many warlords from aristocratic families are also believers, but these believers like to use the Eternal Life Religion to make more profits. In order to escape from the military disaster, many people simply defected to the Eternal Life Sect, and the entire southwest was basically ruined.
Those who refuse to defect?
Shen Tang has no time to deal with them now.
"Keep them all locked up first, and settle the accounts later."
The army raced against time to attack the city. Every time I arrived in a city, I would make some arrangements and then set off immediately. Someone sniffed out an opportunity: "We will pretend to surrender. When Shen thief leads his troops, we will unite the four parties and gather forces to attack her rear and cut off her way of life."
Marching to fight is not about capturing a city. Even if everything is over, the most important thing is to stand firm and turn the captured city into your own fortress. Advance to attack, retreat to defend! She only cares about knocking her down and doesn't care about anything else. If she steps forward, others will move backward.
Once deep into the hinterland, it is easy for the enemy to make dumplings.
The abacus was loud and clear, until——
They saw that the generals who took over the city were either disciples of the Cui family, or those who had been favored by the Cui family... The riot by the refugees from the Eternal Life Sect that they expected did not happen, and the Kangguo soldiers and horses every day Disaster relief points were set up wherever they arrived, and food was scattered as if there was no money.
With this skill, the Cui family’s great business cannot last for two days, right?
Cui Zhi: "..."
I really think highly of Mr. Cui.
The savings of the entire Southwest Gods Association branch could not last for two days, let alone the Cui family. It takes time for food to grow from the ground. If the land doesn’t give you face, you can’t buy it no matter how much money you have. He thought that the Kangguo army's food supply was at its limit, but he did not expect that they planned to rely on disaster relief to distribute food and solve the food gap of millions!
Use food to directly buy millions of Eternal Life Cult rebels.
Food suppression is far more effective than force suppression by the 19th-level Guan Nei Hou. No matter how strong the latter is, they will fight to the end without fear of death. But the former is different. Who would have trouble with food?
Is it because the Eternal Life Sect rebels can expand to millions because they are so hungry that they have no way to survive? Whoever gives them food is their god! Only God would not give them food in return.
Here comes the more exciting operation.
The Holy Son of the Eternal Life Religion requested to return to his throne.
"I have received an oracle and will serve Lord Shen for the rest of my life."
Gongyang Yongye took a meal of the disaster relief food. The thick porridge water was still a bit hot to his mouth. He laughed and said: "You are pretending to be a ghost. Trick.”
"It's not honorable to eat people with soft mouths and short hands. It's not honorable to eat what's mine and hurt me." Shen Tang was dressed as a poor man in coarse linen clothes and followed another inconspicuous barefoot doctor to drink porridge not far from the porridge shed. , in addition to porridge, there are also two thick-wheat steamed buns.
A steamed bun is as big as two fists.
"Which high-ranking person would not put gold on his face and perform some mysterious and mysterious miracles? Otherwise, how can he deceive ordinary people?" Shen Tang just did what his predecessors would do, "This place in the southwest is either wet and cold or hot and humid. , It’s really life-threatening.”
She still likes Northwest.
