Chapter 1305 Chapter 1305: Welcome the King’s Master (Part 1) [Please vote for me]
Cui Xiao couldn't wait for Cui Hui to rush over.
At midnight, he received news from someone sent by Cui Long.
Cui Xiao hurriedly put on his clothes and stood up. He didn't have time to comb them. He was arranging them 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 and said, "My house was assassinated."
"Assassination? Was your daughter-in-law frightened? Are 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.
Regardless of 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.
There are three men, and Cui Xiao knows two of them.
The younger one, and the general.
As for the killer lying on the ground, **** with five flowers and imprisoned with a spirit of speech, 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 didn't expect that the person who came was Cui Xiao, a very important figure in the Eternal Life Rebellion! 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 Lord Cui 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 general cupped his hands and said, "Excuse me, Cui Lang."
"With a little effort, the lady is safe and sound."
Cui Xiao nodded slightly and guessed several 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.
However, 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 officials 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 **** for tat."
"Witch, you fart!"
The dead man was so disheartened that he revealed his secret and there was no point in committing suicide. When I was desperate, I heard Cui Long say this, and I couldn't help crying and accusing Cui Long of his evil deeds. What kind of things are there to communicate with enemies from inside and outside, what are those things that take away people's lives, what are those things that harm lives for the sake of wealth... In short, she will definitely have retribution and will not end well. The Cui family will end up without heirs. Cui Xiao kept frowning after hearing this.
He said to the general: "Did you die?"
The general's angry reading was interrupted: "Huh?"
Cui Xiao said quietly: "Either cut his tongue or cut his neck. How can you humiliate the Lord and still stand aside and listen?"
He gave orders too naturally, which made it difficult for others, 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 it comes to spiritual cultivation, Cui Xiao's hand just now impressed the three of them.
Having talent and strength is better than a slave with a face who can see things through and only knows how to speak well.
but-
Cui Xiao's magnanimity is unparalleled by anything in the pool. If the master has a relationship with him, it will not end well if anything happens in the future.
Cui Long was also guessing what Cui Xiao wanted 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. Other countries may not be able to communicate with everyone..."
Cui Xiao's words were not only devoid of warmth and comfort, they were 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 stain on the ground with the knife fan in his hand.
"Cui doesn't know why the queen has enmity, and he can guess a thing or two. The means of fighting for power and profit are also divided into overt and covert. Some can be tolerated by the superiors, while some cannot see the light of day. It is best for the queen to take stock of herself these days. Fan, when it is broken, it is broken.”
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 not happy, but she had said everything, so he simply said it all in one sentence: "It's chaos to talk about superficial things and to talk about deep things. Cui also understands this truth, but he hopes that the lady will believe it. Cui I have no ill intentions towards you, I only wish you well."
His response was too blunt.
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 me everywhere...
Cui Long could only think that Cui Xiao was her father's man.
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 defect to Kangguo. Don't hide it from your daughter. Sir, Cui came from the northwest. The troops of the Yongsheng Cult are just a cover-up. The victory can be determined in at least half a year. Based on Cui's experience as an official for several years, the female monarch will not do it. Stop, I'm afraid it will harm Cui in the future."
Cui Long and others: "..."
They didn't know the relationship between Cui Xiao and Kang Guo.
Unexpectedly, Kang Guo dared 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 the weirdness. . 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.
Cui Xiao also knew not to be impatient.
After dealing with the assassination incident and sending extra people to strengthen patrols nearby, Cui Xiao got up and left with peace of mind. 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?"
Being of the same generation as his father, this title is unmistakable.
"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 looked like he was 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 my grandfather 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.
only-
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 kid really looks like you. 】
Not only do they look similar, 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 military training, he was thinking about other matters. He would laugh from time to time, which would make his friends goosebumps all over the floor. He suspected that Cui Xiao had been poisoned by someone - why is he laughing so horribly? ? Not so beautiful.
"What do you know?"
Cui Xiao was in a great mood and shook his knife fan.
He said slowly: "I, Mr. Cui, will have a successor."
Old friend: "…have you found your son?"
Cui Xiao's sword fan almost fell to the ground.
In his mind, his son's red lips and white teeth when he was young and his current appearance that was almost disfigured appeared in his mind, and he said disappointedly: "He, he can't do it."
Not like myself, nor like my sister.
A person who is weak and can be bullied can only become a rich man.
Old friend: "..."
Also coming with Cui Hui was the news that the new master of Qi State was forced into Gucheng and that the four armies of Kang State were advancing vigorously.
Cui Xiao used the resources of the Eternal Life Sect he currently had 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 stir up trouble. He used this force to first let the rebels of the Eternal Life Sect fight the local warlords. , Kang Guo took advantage of the opportunity and entered again.
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.
This year wars have been frequent, and natural disasters have occurred in various places without the ability to provide relief.
The more refugees there are, the more people will join the Eternal Religion rebels.
The larger the scale of the rebel army, the more unbearable the military defenses in various places will be.
With internal and external troubles adding to Kang's pressure, 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 we'll settle the score 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 over, we will unite the four parties and gather forces to sneak attack on her rear and cut off her way of survival."
Marching to fight is not just about capturing a city and then being done. 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 played loudly until—
They saw that the generals who took over the city were either disciples of the Cui family or had been favored by the Cui family... The riots they expected from the Eternal Life Sect refugees did not happen. Everywhere the Kang soldiers and horses arrived, they set up disaster relief points, and the food was as chaotic as if they didn't need money. spread.
With this kind of skill, the Cui family's great business cannot last for two days, right?
Cui Zhi: "..."
I really think highly of Ms. 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 been instructed by the oracle to serve Lord Shen for the rest of my life."
Gongyang Yongye took a lick of the relief food. The thick porridge water was still a little hot on his mouth. He laughed and said, "It's a trick of pretending to be a ghost."
"It's not respectable to eat someone's soft mouth and short hands. It's not honorable to eat what's mine and hurt me." Shen Tang, dressed in coarse linen clothes and dressed as a poor man, followed another inconspicuous barefoot doctor to drink porridge not far from the porridge shed. In addition to the porridge, there are 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.

I haven't been beaten by Duan. Shiitake mushrooms mainly focus on PV. I touch pets and buy dungeon pendants and so on. Recently, the front and back legs of the big and small sizes have two fleeting years (is this a very powerful and difficult adventure? Is this also called peerless? Refers to Point, point, point).
