Chapter 622 Reliable (second update)
There are more than 500 people waiting for Cui Yanjin. Cui Yanjin reasonably suspects that Grandpa gave him the entire ghost family.
He hugged the horse's neck and said happily: "From now on, you follow me, and I will make you eat delicious food and drink spicy food."
These words are very brazen and bold.
The leader is Chen San, he laughed, "Then it's settled and I'll trust you young master."
Cui Yanjin was very happy, and said to the side: "Brother Xing, my mother is quite reliable."
Cui Xingzhi also felt that it seemed that Uncle Sitang and Aunt Sitang were quite reliable. After all, how could he not have his own son? But he also didn't expect that Si Tang's aunt would write back to her mother's house asking for the entire ghost family to be used by the little cousin.
These ghostly people are much more useful than the trained dark guards, they are elusive, and they kill people invisible.
He smiled and said, "Aunt Sitang still loves you."
"After all, my mother." Cui Yanjin smiled and said to everyone: "This is my cousin, Cui Xingzhi."
"Master Xingzhi." Chen San led everyone to greet him, "Thank you for taking care of Mr. Yanjin, and please take care of Mr. Xingzhi in the future."
Cui Xingzhi nodded and cupped his hands, "It's easy to say, thank you for your hard work."
After exchanging pleasantries, everyone continued to set off.
Cui Xingzhi discovered that, except for Chen San, the rest of the people had disappeared and disappeared behind them.
After walking for another ten days, they came to the border of Southern Chu. The secret guards inquired about the situation. When they came back, they told Cui Xingzhi, "My lord, there are 200,000 soldiers and horses guarding the border. They are the second son Zhou Shen and the third son Zhou Che of the Duke of the Protectorate. .”
Cui Xingzhi nodded.
Cui Yanjin said from the side: "Brother Xing, do you want to visit?"
Cui Xingzhi shook his head, "No need, we advanced to Southern Chu, and my cousin is in urgent need of manpower, so there is no delay. The 200,000 Liang Chen soldiers are on the border of Southern Chu, so there must be a purpose. Send someone to say hello, and just leave."
"Okay." Cui Yanjin nodded.
So, a group of people entered Nanchu.
Zhou Shen and Zhou Che also got the news that the two sons of the Cui family had brought someone into Southern Chu. After the guard reported, the two looked at each other.
Zhou Che asked: "Which two young masters?"
"Cui Xingzhi, Cui Yanjin."
Zhou Che took a deep breath, "Cui Xingzhi? He traveled thousands of miles to South Chu, why?"
Zhou Shen speculated, "Perhaps it was the fourth brother who asked Cui Gong for help, so Cui Gong sent someone to Nan Chu to rescue him?"
They all knew that the eldest aunt asked the Cui family for two hundred secret guards for the sake of the fourth brother.
At this time, someone came to report again, saying that Young Master Xingzhi of the Cui family had delivered a message, saying that he and Young Master Yan Jin were going to Southern Chu to seek refuge with the Fourth Young Master. Because the Fourth Young Master lacked support, they were in a hurry and went to help him earlier. , I didn't come to see you specially.
Zhou Che immediately said: "It's my grandfather's elder brother who mentioned this matter. He said that the grandfather has few manpower for the fourth brother. I am afraid that it is not enough. He asked the grandfather to send some more manpower for him, but the grandfather shook his head and said that the rules of the Duke Protector's Mansion are not good enough." break."
He sighed, "When the fourth brother left the capital, I gave him a hand in private, but he refused to accept it. I am a concubine, so I shouldn't be like brothers."
Zhou Shen said: "Brother and I also gave it, and he didn't accept it either." After a pause, he said again: "Third brother, don't think so, in our Duke Protector's Mansion, you are the same as us, you have already It's in my aunt's name."
He also sighed, "I don't blame my grandfather, our Duke's Mansion is not as profound as the Cui family's. For so many years, although the Duke's Mansion has a great reputation, everyone thinks that the Duke's Mansion should be a big family, but they don't know. Your Majesty has been deducting military pay these years, and for the soldiers who have retired from the army, the Protector's Mansion still needs to help them from time to time. Even if there are mountains of gold and silver, it is not enough. Each of us can support a number of guards. Unlike Qinghe Cui, The ancestral business is huge, and it is true that there are mountains of gold and silver accumulated over hundreds of years to train manpower for the promising children of the clan, which is much more generous than our Duke Protector's Mansion, which can be deployed."
"I was wrong, and grandfather is not easy, I shouldn't talk about grandfather." Zhou Che said immediately.
Zhou Shen patted him on the shoulder, "Gong Cui actually sent Cui Xingzhi, I'm so willing."
Zhou Che nodded, "Yeah, it turned out to be Cui Xingzhi. It's a pity that he was in a hurry, otherwise he would have to ask him carefully what news he got about the fourth brother. We stayed here for so long, and we didn't get any news about the fourth brother, and we don't know him. How's it going."
"Fourth brother, auspicious people have their own celestial features, so they can turn bad luck into good luck." Zhou Shen said.
"I also want to join Southern Chu to help the fourth brother." Zhou Che sighed, "But the military order is like a mountain, and His Royal Highness asked us to stay here, so we can only stay here and not move."
Zhou Shen nodded, "I hope we won't be used, otherwise, the situation in Nanchu will be so critical."
Zhou Che thinks about it too.
The two brothers suppressed their temper. Three days later, unexpectedly, another group of secret guards from the Duke's Mansion came. They just greeted each other and entered Nanchu silently.
Both Zhou Shen and Zhou Che were startled, and their faces changed. Zhou Che said: "It can be seen that the situation in Southern Chu is very serious, otherwise grandfather would not have broken the rules."
Grandfather sent 500 hidden guards. This should be all the hidden guards in the Duke Protector's Mansion, right?
"It must be very serious. The fourth brother may be very dangerous." Zhou Shen couldn't sit still, "The princess brought 300,000 soldiers and horses. Although the fourth brother has not many people around, but counting the ones given by Cui Gong, there are quite a few in total. Bai, why is it so dangerous?"
"Second brother, let's also send people to Nanchu to find out about the situation? We can't just wait, we don't know anything. Although we can't leave, we can also send secret guards there." Zhou Che said.
Zhou Shen nodded, "Alright."
So, the two ordered hundreds of dark guards together, and sent them to Nanchu.
Zhou Gu didn't know that his mother, his grandfather and his grandfather were all anxious when they learned that the situation in Southern Chu was very serious, and they sent someone to help him in Southern Chu.
There are indeed not many people left around him. When he entered Southern Chu, he brought hundreds of people with him, but now there are indeed only a few dozen people left. All of them were seriously injured and had the same fate as him, and they survived in Wanren Mountain.
Now, he, Su Rong and the others are listening to an urgent report that the Crown Prince of Wei Yuan Zhao, with 800,000 troops, has returned to Qihuan Mountain under the leadership of Nan Gongzheng.
Su Rong's face has changed, 800,000, and she has not reunited with Zhang Mao, Jiang Zhu and others, and only has hundreds of thousands of soldiers in her hands. As long as the 800,000 came, ten of her could be trampled to death.
She immediately said decisively: "Withdraw!"
"Yes, withdraw quickly." Zhou Gu also said.
Xie Yuan nodded, "Indeed, we can only withdraw."
Thus, everyone pulled out their camp and quickly retreated in the direction where Zhang Mao, Jiang Zhu and others were chasing, in order to quickly reconcile with the 300,000 soldiers and horses.
