stand back, let me come

Chapter 1270: One Battle to Decide the Southwest (Part 1270) [Seeking a Monthly Ticket]

"Why are you so stubborn?"

The old friend wanted to change the subject, but thinking of Cui Xiaogang's grief over the loss of his wife, it was hard for him to listen to anything at this critical moment, so he swallowed his words. He had known Cui Xiaogang for so many years, and although he didn't know how he felt about his deceased wife, he knew that he was not someone who would commit suicide for love and ignore the overall situation. Even if it was for the sake of his master's ambition, he would hold on to the end.

"Your ex-son-in-law has a great background, be careful of being robbed."

"Robbery? Unless you want to take away a corpse."

The old friend hissed in his heart.

It must be a sin in the previous life to meet such an old Taishan.

Before Lao Taishan met Cui Zhi, he had a bad impression of him. No matter what, divorcing an ordinary woman who had given birth to two sons and a daughter for him and letting her wander around, he was not a good man. Cui Zhi suspected that he was joking.

He asked bluntly: "Is my father-in-law talking about me?"

Cui Xiao: "I never said I was deeply in love."

No matter how anxious Cui Zhi was, he knew it would be difficult for him to escape, so he could only stay as a prisoner and wait for the right opportunity. Before the mat had even warmed up, he heard Lao Taishan cough several times, and the yellowed handkerchief with frayed edges was stained with glaring blood spots.

Cui Xiao put away the handkerchief without changing his expression. Then a soldier came over and said that someone outside wanted to see him, and the other person introduced himself.

The person who came was Cui Hui.

Cui Xiao sighed: "Girls should not be kept at home when they grow up."

Although he said this, he still forced himself to meet Cui Hui. As soon as the father and daughter met, he told Cui Hui: "You can't take Cui Zhishan back with you. Considering that he is the father of your children, it is not impossible to turn things around. As a father, I will not harm his life. You can go back."

The son who accompanied Cui Hui down the mountain turned pale. He couldn't help but beg in a low voice: "Father, do you have to do this? My sister lost her mother, and you want her to lose her husband right after?"

Cui Xiao just glanced at him coldly: "What do you know?"

The son was choked and his face turned red with anxiety.

"You are the old and confused one!"

  My brother-in-law was busy with my mother's funeral. If he wasn't there, my sister wouldn't be able to hold on these days. Looking back at the past, when they needed Cui Xiao the most, this father was always away. They met again after many years, and this happened?

Cui Xiao sneered: "You are the one who has no brains."

After scolding his son, he softened his expression when facing his daughter.

Said: "Ke Wu, you go back."

"My daughter wants a reason."

"Now that Cui Zhishan knows your father's identity, how can he not doubt you? He is your loving husband, but he is also the head of the Cui family, and a trusted minister of the King of Qi. Before, you didn't have any evidence in his hands, so he was just suspicious of you at most. Considering the years of friendship, he could still live in confusion. Can he do that now? Everything has been made clear, can he still pretend to be deaf and dumb?"

These words made Cui Hui's face change suddenly, and his son was stunned.

"W-what?"

He was just a middle-aged wealthy man in Tianqing County. He was really unaware of the great events in the outside world. His life was simple and clear. He served his mother, supported his family, and lived a simple life. With his brother-in-law as his backer, his life was not difficult.

What Cui Xiao just said was a bit like a heavenly book.

  Is his sister doing something big?

His eyes switched back and forth between his old father and his elder sister, hesitating: "Sister, are you hiding something from me?"

"There is no need to report to you what you are not supposed to know. Why hide it?" Cui Hui's words almost made her brother withdraw. She looked at Cui Xiao with a complicated expression, knowing that what he said made sense. With her and Cui Zhi's emotional temperament, the couple would not become enemies, but a quarrel was inevitable. Cui Zhi was imprisoned by his father, which saved him from this storm.

Cui Hui got the answer and didn't force it.

She turned and left without saying a word.

"Sister, are we leaving just like this?"

"What else? Stay and be a prisoner?"

"But, but brother-in-law..."

Before he could finish, Cui Hui frightened him with a glare. He blinked aggrievedly, but he had gained weight greatly in middle age. The passionate and charming watery eyes in his youth were squeezed several sizes smaller by the fat, and he could not get the slightest sympathy even if he blinked his eyelids until they cramped.

Faintly, Choi Hyo heard his son asking worried questions.

"If, if something happens to my brother-in-law..."

Cui Hui did not answer, but Cui Zhi was also curious about this question: "If my son-in-law dies, how will my father-in-law explain it?"

Cui Xiao asked back: "What do you want to tell me?"

He was satisfied with the fear in Cui Zhi's eyes.

He sneered: "If something unfortunate happens to you, what will happen? It's just that Cui's family changes the head, and Ke Wu changes the husband. All your children are born by Ke Wu. No matter how cruel I am, I will not harm my descendants. I will naturally keep your bloodline safe."

For him, there is no harm at all, only benefit.

After this analysis, he really wanted to kill his ex-son-in-law.

He and his sister were childhood sweethearts, and his sister had long been accustomed to his service. It would be lonely to travel alone, so it would be better to send her a caring son-in-law to serve her as soon as possible. As soon as he thought about it, Cui Zhi immediately caught the flash of murderous intent in Old Taishan's eyes.

Cui Zhi pursed his lips, closed his eyes and stopped communicating with the other party.

An old man who has lost his wife is really unreasonable.

For a regular army like Kangguo, it was basically impossible to sneak into the camp quietly. Those with low strength could not break into the tightly guarded defense line, and those with high strength would be discovered by the masters stationed in the camp. However, the group in front of them was a mob.

There are not many brave warriors, and the rest are ordinary believers.

After being trapped, Cui Zhi secretly released the news.

After all, he is the head of the Southwest Branch, and the connections he has made cannot be underestimated. In order to ensure that he is not secretly killed by his political enemies, he has spent a lot of money to raise assassins. These assassins are not geniuses, but they all have their own unique skills, which can be very useful at critical moments. When Cui Zhi was trapped this time, they came to rescue him.

But Cui Zhi forgot what it means that old ginger is the spiciest.

Your father-in-law is your father-in-law after all.

Cui Zhi clearly felt that the lurking assassin was already nearby, but the other party failed to find him, resulting in the failure of the rescue.

no--

Is it so difficult to find him among two or three thousand people?

Or should we look for him among the two or three thousand ragged believers? Wouldn't it be easy to lock onto the target at a glance? Cui Zhi had his hands tied behind his back, leaning against a wooden stake in a trance. When he came to his senses, he saw his father-in-law's half-smiley eyes, and he immediately remembered that the other party was behind it.

"The Cui family is indeed wealthy and powerful, and the assassins they raise are also unique. It's a pity that their abilities are limited, so it was a wasted trip."

Cui Xiaoyou made some sarcastic remarks that could choke someone to death.

Cui Zhi: "..."

It is right for some men to be abandoned by their wives.

Cui Xiao used his spiritual power to eavesdrop on his thoughts: "Are you looking for death?"

His expression suddenly became kind and he said, "Weren't you also divorced by Ke Wu? You make it sound as if Patriarch Cui already has a wife."

All in all, he and his sister have not officially divorced, and the couple are still registered under the same household, unlike some people.

Cui Zhi: "..."

But this is far from the limit of Old Taishan’s shamelessness.

Cui Zhi watched helplessly as the other party used his Wenxin seal to impersonate his handwriting to write a letter, not knowing what he was going to do with it. "The Cui family is not so easy to deceive."

Although the Cui clan is now managed by the young master Cui Xiong, the elders and the old patriarch of the clan are not pushovers. They will not sit idly by and watch Cui Xiong being deceived into doing something that would harm the Cui clan. After saying this, Cui Zhi saw that Old Taishan smiled subtly, and even his haggard face had a different look: "When did I say what I wanted from the Cui clan? The Cui clan is the future property of my grandson."

To weaken the Cui family would be to damage the future inheritance of the grandson.

Seeing that Cui Xiao regarded Cui Shi as his own, Cui Zhi had a deeper understanding of the old Taishan bandit's behavior: "What is that?"

Cui Xiao's smile made people feel creepy.

"The Southwest Main Society, right?"

"How do you know?"

The Gods Club is a legitimate organization, so it's not surprising that Old Taishan knows about its existence, but it's very shocking to know that he is the head of the Southwest Branch. You know, whether it's the main club or the branch, the members will basically hide their appearance and identity when they get together, and they will only be open and honest when they have the intention to cooperate with each other.

Not many people in the outside world know the true identity of the main club.

Cui Xiao: "My colleagues are also so-called chiefs."

Cui Zhi's expression was numb: "..."

Yes, Qi Yuanliang is the chief of the Northwest branch.

The main societies all knew each other's identities, so it was reasonable for Qi Shan to tell his father-in-law the information. He couldn't help but think of Cui Hui's role in the middle, and closed his eyes and chose to turn a blind eye.

No matter what the father-in-law does, how bad can the situation get? It's just that Qi State is destroyed, Shen Tang wins, and the Cui family changes their nationality. Cui Xiao raised an eyebrow at Cui Zhi's reaction.

"I thought you were going to curse."

"My son-in-law's upbringing and cultivation won't allow it."

"Humph, so weird."

Cui Zhi let things take their own course and let them do whatever they want.

He acted calm, which made Cui Xiao feel uneasy: "I only said that I would ensure that your lineage would be safe, but I didn't say that the entire Cui family would be safe. It would be better to get rid of this burden that is holding us back."

Cui Zhi said: "No."

Seeing that Old Taishan didn't believe him, he smiled and said, "Since my father-in-law is Mr. Shen's confidant, do you know who Zhongli Fu is? Is she Qi Yuanliang's man, or Shen Youli's man? Who sent Ke Wu? Is the You Bao of the You family really the real You Bao? Or has the real You Bao already met with an accident, and someone has replaced him?"

Every time he asked a question, Cui Xiao's expression changed.

Cui Zhi: "Just because my son-in-law didn't ask and acquiesced doesn't mean he knew nothing. Should Shen Youli accept this favor?"

Now it was Cui Xiao's turn to be speechless.

Judging from Cui Zhi's words, the head of the Southwest Branch may not know the whole story, but he has seen some of the truth and inferred that someone in the court is not in the right position. Cui Zhi knew this but did not report it to the king, but pretended to be deaf and dumb, which is suspicious.

He served the State of Qi, but acquiesced to "Zhongli Fu".

  Of course, this was done to protect Cui Hui and he didn't want to involve her, but wasn't it also because Cui Zhi was betting on multiple sides?

Right from the beginning.

Since it was a long bet, the little bit of implicit understanding between them was not enough. Without evidence, wouldn't it be easy to turn against each other? So there had to be real chips so that people couldn't deny it. Otherwise, Cui Zhi would not allow Cui Mi to run away from home.

Cui Xiao ground his back teeth.

"Master Shi, I have seen it."

Cui Zhi said: "My father-in-law has also opened my eyes."

They are a father-in-law and son-in-law, so don't laugh at each other. Tear off this fake human appearance, and you will find that it is all filthy underneath.

"The final winner must be Kangguo. I want to see what good things you, the master of the Cui family, can get." He can have a career in the government, but he will never get to a high position. As a person like Cui Zhi, he is probably not happy with the awkward position of being neither up nor down.

It's simply self-destructive!

  What is he so proud of?

Facing Cui Xiao's merciless ridicule, Cui Zhi was calm instead: "No need to be nice, didn't my father-in-law just say that the Cui family will be handed over to my son-in-law's eldest son Cui Xiong, your grandson. If the destiny is not in Qi State, can my father-in-law let him suffer in the court?"

Cui Xiao himself still owed Cui Hui a lot of debt.

In the end, doesn't it have to make up to Cui Xiong and the others?

It's just retirement, Cui Hui is more important! The moment Cui Zhi chose to return from the battle, he was mentally prepared.

Cui Xiao: "..."

  This bastard in front of him, with thousands of tricks on his body, is the son-in-law his daughter found for him?

The internal injuries that had just stabilized almost relapsed.

"Okay, okay, you have nothing to fear!"

Qi Guosheng, the Cui family definitely made a huge profit.

If Kang Guo wins, Cui family can also break even.

Good, good, what a great plan!

Cui Zhi shook his head: "It's just a precaution."

You can't expect him, a head of a noble family, to be completely free of scheming, to not care about the family at all, and to be obsessed with love, right? He has calculations, but he also has sincerity, so you can't just judge him by one thing. Cui Zhi was so angry that his father-in-law walked away.

Although he was a prisoner, Cui Zhi had a very good mentality. From the moment he left the front line, the outcome of the war was no longer meaningful to him and the Cui family. With Cui Xiong and others around, Cui Xiao was cautious and would not affect the Cui family no matter how crazy he acted.

He couldn't help but think of the secret letter.

The secret letter that could speed up the progress of the war.

The secret letter came from Lin Anzhi of the Central Branch.

Who is Lin Anzhi?

He is also dangerous man number one.

Cui Zhi loosened his wrists that were bound till they were numb, lowered his eyes and murmured, "As soon as the bait came down, the fish that usually hid in the water all jumped out. I just don't know who is behind the fishing net..."

The situation seems to be gradually becoming clear.

Although he was mad at his former son-in-law, he had to admit that his identity was indeed useful. The identity of the head of the Southwest Branch Society was more important than that of the head of the Cui family. After a series of operations, the rebellion of the Eternal Life Cult, which was already out of control, became even more powerful after the end of "Cui Zhi's head society". The members who received hints from the head society turned a blind eye to the chaos in the country.

Passive resistance of resistance.

Passive counterinsurgency.

Don’t ask, the answer is that the main company is playing a big game.

As the forces in the southwest are reshuffled, the interests will naturally be redistributed. This is also one of the unspoken rules of the game within the Society of the Gods.

There is nothing wrong with Cui taking the lead in reshuffle.

However, not everyone was deceived, and some people found some inconsistencies in the details of the situation. However, these people either chose to remain silent or wanted to take advantage of the situation.

  It may not be impossible to replace Cui!

(ゝω)

Isn’t National Day coming soon?

  Xianggu planned to hang a car-mounted national flag on the SU7 at home. When he opened the JD APP, he found that many links were sold out and there was no stock locally_(:з」∠)_

In the end I can only buy it on Tmall.com, hoping it’s in time.

PS: I have been feeling a little emotional lately, and I wanted to play games to relieve myself, but the four knights all had to drink 120 tea cakes before they came out, which directly broke my mood. It is so unfair to force someone to marry me after paying krypton gold.
