Chapter 621 Did not forget (one more)
At noon on the second day, in the Cui clan of Qinghe, only Cui Yanjin, who was ten and a half years old, walked with Cui Xingzhi.
After a night of consideration, the others felt that it would be too risky for their descendants to go to Southern Chu, and they might never return. Cui Gong asked his most promising grandson to give up his original path and go to Nanchu, but they still didn't think it was wise.
Think about how long it took him to send two hundred hidden guards to Zhou Gu, and the news came back that there were only a dozen people left? Thousands of miles away in Southern Chu, the letter was received by the Duke’s wife and passed on to Cui Gong. It has been a month since then. During this month, anything can happen, maybe even Zhou Gu lost his life.
Cui Gong saw Cui Yanjin, who was only ten and a half years old. To be honest, he was actually disappointed, but he also felt that the prudent decisions made by everyone were normal. After all, the situation in Southern Chu is indeed not optimistic.
He patted Cui Xingzhi on the shoulder, "All right, you take good Yanjin, you two brothers, after entering Nanchu, don't be too public, find out the situation, find your cousin Zhou Gu as soon as possible, and listen to him."
Cui Xingzhi nodded, "Don't worry, grandfather."
"If you see that the situation is not good and Nan Chu is hopeless, you can come back with Yan Jin." Uncle Cheng asked from the side. In fact, what he wanted to say was that if something happened to Zhou Gu, don't be stupid and come back quickly. .
Cui Xingzhi won't save face from his elders, so he agreed, "Okay."
Gong Cui glanced at Uncle Sheng, said nothing, and waved to Cui Xingzhi, "Let's go!"
Cui Xingzhi bid farewell to his grandparents, parents and relatives, and got on the horse.
On the other side, Uncle Sitang and Aunt Sitang were talking to Cui Yanjin, and Uncle Sitang said carelessly: "Boy, give your father and me a little bit of courage, and let your cousin venture into the world in Nanchu, and let him Your father and I feel proud."
Aunt Sitang was eating melon seeds, "Have you brought the sword manual? Have you brought the hidden weapons and poison? When you were a child learning martial arts from your grandfather, you threatened to grow up to walk the rivers and lakes. Now let you go, don't disgrace your grandfather. If it's really embarrassing, don't say that you are a disciple of the bishop of Guishamen."
After finishing speaking, she rubbed her stomach, "After you leave, your father and I will work hard to give you another brother. Don't worry about our filial piety, just take care of your own life."
Cui Yanjin patted his chest and assured, "Dad, don't worry."
puffed up her chest again and said, "Mother, don't worry, if you lose face, I will definitely say that you are my mother, and I won't mention my grandfather."
Aunt Sitang spat out the melon seeds and stared angrily, "You can't even mention me, my face is also a face."
Cui Yanjin stuck out his tongue, turned around and ran away.
Cui Xingzhi just sat on the horseback when he saw his little cousin running over, grabbed the reins of the horse, climbed on the horse neatly, and said to him proudly: "Brother Xingzhi, let's go."
Cui Xingzhi was silent, nodded, "Let's go!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the little cousin squeezed the horse's belly with his legs and rushed out first.
Cui Xingzhi turned his head to look at Uncle Sitang and Aunt Sitang, and saw that the two did not look at Cui Yanjin. Aunt Sitang seemed to be annoyed. Uncle Sitang was hugging her to coax her. He averted his eyes speechlessly and said to the elders He cupped his hands again, and without further ado, he rode away on his horse.
Gong Cui brought thousands of guards to Cui Xingzhi, and gave him half of the gold, silver and other property in his house yesterday. It's just that Cui Xingzhi has to go to guard Zhou Gu first, pack lightly, belongings and other things, and then send them to Nanchu by the Escort Bureau.
He still trusts his grandson Zhou Gu very much. He believes that Young Master Zhou of the Duke Protector's Mansion is such a talented and intelligent person. The skills he has learned since childhood are enough to save his life. Easy to break off.
"Yes." Cui Gong nodded, "We can't just let him go to fight with others in such a severe situation in Southern Chu."
Uncle Sheng stopped talking, thinking that he didn't mean it that way, but he felt that it was too willing, what if it didn't work out.
"Wealth and wealth are in danger, Uncle Sheng, there is no free lunch, and there is no free pie." Cui Gong was tired and didn't want to talk anymore.
Uncle Cheng sighed, "That's right, hey, I always feel that it's still too risky, and I can't bear to let this kid go."
As he said, he gritted his teeth and ordered to the person beside him: "Let Chang Sheng point out two hundred people, catch up with Xingzhi, and send them to him. Just tell him what I gave him, and let him accept it. As a great uncle, I always You can't just watch him go to die, you have to save your life and come back."
"Yes." The man went immediately.
Cui Gong smiled, "Thank you, Uncle Sheng."
Uncle Sheng also waved his hands tiredly, "Okay, thank you for what? You gave up your most beloved grandson, and it was also for the sake of the family. I can't give up everything. I hope he can succeed, and if he doesn't, he can come back safely."
Cui Gong said with a smile: "Yes."
Cui Xingzhi and Cui Yanjin went out of the city, walked thirty miles, and a group of people chased after them. Chang Sheng took the order of Uncle Cheng, handed them over to Cui Xingzhi, and conveyed Uncle Cheng's words.
At the same time, Cui Jingcheng also sent over a hundred guards, saying that they would be taken away by him, hoping that he would have a bright future.
Cui Xingzhi's eyes were reddish, "Thank you, Grand Uncle, thank you Jing Cheng."
He really didn't expect that Uncle Sheng, who was the most opposed, gave him two hundred people. As far as he knew, his family only had three hundred guards, and Jing Cheng was similar. He said yesterday that he didn't need it. He still gave him a hundred guards.
After accepting the person, Cui Xingzhi led the person to continue walking.
Cui Yanjin said heartily: "Brother Xing, I just remembered that none of my parents took me away."
Cui Xingzhi looked at him inexplicably, "Did you just find out? Is it too late now?"
Cui Yanjin touched his nose, "Maybe my parents forgot?"
Cui Xingzhi wasn’t sure if the incomprehensible couple had forgotten, “It’s okay, we have enough people. Grandfather gave me all the guards in the house, and he only left a few people around himself.”
Speaking of his grandfather, Cui Xingzhi was also reluctant. At that time, he was firmly opposed to asking him to take all the guards away, but his grandfather said that he was going here to help cousin Zhou Gu, who must be short of manpower. Otherwise, my aunt would not have sent a letter begging him to send some more people to help my cousin. In addition, it is also for Cui's future, and he deserves it. He is at home, there is no danger, and he can train manpower, and it is urgent for him to bring enough manpower to Nanchu.
Cui Yanjin nodded, patted his bulging luggage in front of the saddle, "Brother Xing, don't worry, I have enough hidden weapons and poison."
Cui Xingzhi nodded.
The two of them traveled day and night with people, and half a month after they walked out, they were stopped by a large group of people in a small town. The large group of people were of various heights, including men, women, old and young. Among them, an ordinary-looking man in his thirties bowed his hands to Cui Yanjin, "But young master Yanjin? I'm a low-ranking person. I'm here to wait for you, according to the order of the head of the sect. From now on, I will live with you. Die with you."
Cui Yanjin: "..."
Hey, it turns out that his unreliable parents didn't forget him.
