The Book of Troubled Times

Chapter 53 Cui Yuanyong

Xiao Er also died on the spot together with the shopkeeper, and escaped from the disaster of a severed arm. The drinkers had already run away. Zhao Changhe looked around and curled his lips: "Just now someone said they saw me and wanted to buy me a drink. They ran faster than a rabbit."

He went directly to get the non-toxic wine and meat that had been eaten on someone else's table, sat in the middle of the wine shop and ate it, and invited him as that person.

A clear laugh came from outside: "The rivers and lakes are fighting, and the dead body is on the spot. No decent person would dare to sit here and drink. How about I treat you?"

Zhao Changhe didn't raise his head: "Aren't you a decent person, Mr. Cui?"

Cui Yuanyong sat across from him and said with a smile, "Maybe not."

"So who is going to invite whom now? Our children are still eating together, but they are really not serious people." Zhao Changhe poured wine for him casually: "Where is your sister? Why are you alone? Treat her to a meal Forget it, please, you seem a little weird."

Cui Yuanyong smiled slightly: "Why, are you interested in her?"

"Forget it, I'm not interested in fools." Zhao Changhe rolled his eyes: "But no matter how stupid you are, she's still a cute little girl. She looks good. You're almost as handsome as me, and I'm even more upset."

Cui Yuanyong laughed dumbly and said: "I think you have some resistance because I suspect that I have a little friendship with Yue Hongling?"

Zhao Changhe chewed the beef, looked Cui Yuanyong up and down for a while, and suddenly smiled: "I dare not say whether you like her or not, but I know she won't like you, so there is nothing to object to."

Cui Yuanyong was a little curious: "Oh? Why are you so sure? Because you think you're the one she's looking for?"

"No." Zhao Changhe shook his head: "Her heart is in Jianghu, and she doesn't know when she will return home. In short, it will not belong to anyone now, whether you or me."

Cui Yuanyong smiled: "Why do I think you are the same? Whether Xia Chichi or Yue Hongling."

Zhao Changhe was expressionless: "If the person who knows me so well is your sister, maybe you can chat with me. What do you want to do because you know me so well? I heard that your family often has that kind of atmosphere..."

Cui Yuanyong looked into Zhao Changhe's eyes, and couldn't tell if he agreed with his own judgment, or he was just making fun of it. Cui Yuanyong didn't get to the bottom of it, but just smiled: "That kind of atmosphere is not limited to aristocratic families. In fact, many cottages are richer. Perhaps the owner of the village is more familiar with it."

Zhao Changhe: "...grass."

Cui Yuanyong finally raised his wine glass and signaled: "This is the first meeting, Cui Yuanyong."

"It's a pleasure to meet you." Zhao Changhe raised his glass and clinked to show that he was actually friendly.

Before that, he planned to ask Yue Hongling to recommend him one or two times. He didn't want to get tense with anyone. These aristocratic families are related to his current career as a fake prince, and they are also related to the decryption of the background of the world. He still hopes to have a good communication.

Especially this one doesn't seem to be annoying. The battle with Mr. Yue Hongling, as far as I can tell, they all have the intention of cherishing each other. Afterwards, I thought that Yue Hongling was caught by the bandits, and he came to rescue him with wounds. After that, he didn't talk about that Mrs. Yazhai was Yue Hongling herself... so far So far, Zhao Changhe has a pretty good impression of him.

Moreover, Cui Yuanyong helped him with a task intentionally or unintentionally... He tied all the people from Beimang Shanzhai to the Yamen of Mangshan City that night, announcing that the gangsters who dominated for a while were wiped out by the government, and the local government made a great contribution.

Although this incident may make people think that Zhao Changhe fell to the Cui family, and that killing Fang Buping was a forerunner for the Cui family, but in the same way, the Cui family took down the "mastermind", and the Blood God Sect and even the Four Elephant Sect The eyes will mainly fall on the Cui family. And when other people want to deal with Zhao Changhe, they have to worry about the Cui family's attitude.

This trip was all plotted by the rats, and I didn't see a few serious people, which is also related to this. Fake princes only exist in the imagination of myself and Xia Chichi so far. Others may not think so. In fact, it is the Cui family that serious people are concerned about now. This is the truth...

At present, since everyone knows that he started from Beimang, the location is clear, if others want to block him, they can always catch fish by blocking the main roads around Beimang, so there are many thorns along the way. But as the steps get farther, it becomes more difficult for others to locate. If Cui Yuanyong helps to cover one or two, then there is no need to tighten the strings like these days. Seeing a beggar and a second child are all nervous Yes, this kind of life is honestly impossible.

If I hadn't read a lot of martial arts novels and paid attention to such routines, I might have already learned the truth...

So everyone is not actually "meeting for the first time", the two of them have been hanging around for several days, and Zhao Changhe has seen Cui Yuanyong's face many times behind his back. I don't know why I haven't come to communicate, but I just came here for a drink today.

The two clinked a glass and drank each of them. Cui Yuanyong took out a silk scarf and wiped his mouth leisurely: "Is it strange why we have been with you for a few days and haven't communicated with each other, watching you fight wits and bravery all the way, and it's only now that you've overcome all obstacles. Show up."

Looking at his silk scarf, Zhao Changhe couldn't help twitching the corners of his mouth, and could only say, "I'm really curious, what are you thinking about?"

Cui Yuanyong sighed: "If I said that it was just to let my sister learn the tricks of the rivers and lakes, would you think I was lying..."

The corners of Zhao Changhe's mouth were almost twitching like epileptics, and he said after a while, "I think it's the truth."

Cui Yuanyong laughed: "It is indeed the truth. I took her out and never encountered any troubles. The only incident I encountered was when you set up a card to rob us. In the end, you didn't stop us and let us go. We had a good impression of you then."

"...It turns out that those two passers-by are you, I forgot what they looked like."

"The males in my family are prosperous, and there is only one younger sister... She is really loved by everyone since childhood. She has never seen the dangers of people's hearts, the evils of the world, and she is innocent. Practicing well is all up to her, and no one is willing to say a word about her. This time, I did not listen to my advice, and attacked Zhaizhu Zhao privately at night and was arrested. Fortunately, Zhaizhu Zhao is called a bandit, but he is actually a gentleman, so she is her Luck, otherwise it would be a hard lesson to bear."

Zhao Changhe lowered his head and sipped his wine: "It's true... a bit stupid..."

"This time, Zhao Zhaizhu let her go out of righteousness, and she was accused by the helmsman afterwards. Her life was hanging by a thread. She was about to die." Cui Yuanyong smiled and cupped his hands: "I feel that she has grown up a lot overnight. It is really Zhaizhu Zhao who made her experience an important growth in her life, and Cui is here to thank you."

Zhao Changhe had no choice but to say: "It shows that she is pure in nature...Zhao must also thank her for the elixir."

"It's true. Although sister She is a bit spoiled, she has always been kind in nature." Cui Yuanyong said: "So when she saw you coming out of Beimang alone, she seemed to be a little weak, and she kept pushing me to protect you. I Then tell her, there is no reason for people to protect the tiger going down the mountain and the dragon entering the sea? Not only should she not be protected, but she should be allowed to gain experience by the way... Let her get to know others. She's pretty honest."

Zhao Changhe: "..."

Cui Yuanyong drank another glass of wine and sighed: "Do you know why I came to you today without taking her?"

Zhao Changhe shook his head.

"Because she has seen how many turbulent times you have gone through on this journey, and she knows that she will die so many times when she encounters you, but you are full of demons and ghosts, like a god descending from the earth... I feel that her eyes have changed a bit, and if I continue to look at it like this, I am afraid that it will not be a gain of insight. Now, there will be something else... So someone dragged her home, and she lost her temper with me quite a bit."

Zhao Changhe coughed dryly, bowed his head and drank without speaking.

There are several masters in the Cui family's Tiandiren list, Cui Yuanyong is also the eighth level of Xuanguan, the third in Qianlong, and the world is in a state of affairs. As a result, the younger sister in the family looked at a wild man with a mere porch and thought it was called a god descending to earth... Thinking about Cui Yuanyong, it would be bloody old, but Zhao Changhe did nothing wrong, and he is still the benefactor of the younger sister. I can't cut it, and I have to help out a little bit.

Cui Yuanyong really felt that the big grievances were not as grievous as himself. When he said this, he finally sighed: "Since the little girl has gone back, Cui also thinks that he should sit down and have a good drink with Brother Zhao. Let's make friends. Also ask brother Zhao what his plans are in the future."

Zhao Changhe said: "Could it be that the Cui family really wants to recruit me?"

Cui Yuanyong shook his head: "Brother Zhao is not a subordinate, this is meaningless... What we want to know is what is the relationship between Brother Zhao and Tang Shouzuo?"
