Chapter 497
Liangzhou is located in the central part of Gansu Province. It is the gateway to the Hexi Corridor, the hub and important town of the famous "Silk Road" in history, and a rich city in Hexi.It connects Monan, Mobei and the Western Regions. In ancient times, it was known as an important place "connecting the front line to the vastness and controlling the throat of the five counties". It was once the military and political center, economic and cultural center of the Northwest.There is also a famous Hetao Plain in Liangzhou, which is an important grain-producing area in the north and produces the well-known Liangzhou Dama.Moreover, this place is still on the border between Han and Qiang, and the folk customs are fierce and fearless.Because of the proximity, people from the Western Regions often come to buy food and items, and from time to time they have various conflicts with the local Han and Qiang people.

To put it bluntly, it is a Guangzhou with at least a hundred times more chaos.

In the past, most of the officials who came here to govern here were military generals.Because this place is too chaotic, if any disturbance occurs accidentally, the officials will need to use force to suppress it.

Now such an important place has been given to Cui Pu, who has just shown a little military talent. Does this mean that the court has too much trust in him, or someone wants to take the opportunity to show him how powerful he is, so that he can go there and see for himself Witness the real turmoil, and then be scared out of your wits and obediently go back to the Central Plains to be a peace officer?Or, wish he could just die here?
In fact, Cui Pu was very excited when he received this appointment.

Finally, he can get in touch with the real army!And it is very likely that I can seize the opportunity to put on armor and mount a horse to fight fiercely on the battlefield!A dream that he has been thinking about since he was a child is finally about to come true!

However, after the excitement and joy, he was more worried.

"Liangzhou is located in the northwest, where the loess is everywhere, the wind and sand are extremely strong, and the folk customs are too tough. It is far from the environment here in Guangzhou. I am not worried about you, Mr. Erlang, but you have always been in poor health. The lady and the little lady have been raised and raised since childhood. I am worried that you will suffer too much if you take your mother and daughter over there."

Therefore, he still hesitated in his heart.

But Mu Jiaojiao said: "You just ask yourself, do you want to go?"

"As far as my own mind is concerned, I definitely want to go. After all, who doesn't want to see a wider world? And I heard that the desert in the northwest is desolate, empty and vast, which is completely different from the small and graceful south. A real man , If you don’t go to the desert, you don’t know how broad your mind can be in this world. Dalangjun Erlangjun, I also intend to let them go there to temper.”

"In that case, let's go!" Mu Jiaojiao said.

"Ah?" Cui Pu was startled when he heard this, "But..."

"Your but, it's all your own wishful thinking. Have you ever asked me, the big lady and the little lady what they think?" Mu Jiaojiao said, "Maybe we are willing too!"

"Of course I know that you are willing to go with me. However, I am worried that you will suffer if you go." Cui Pu said.

The delicate wife, the two young ladies who are delicate and soft, just thinking about the appearance of the three of them being ashamed by the yellow sand in the northwest, he began to feel distressed.

"What does it matter if you suffer a little bit? Although a daughter needs to be pampered, she can't be too arrogant. Besides, do you think you, a dignified governor of Liangzhou, can't provide us with a good life?"

Once there, no matter how good life is, it can only be relative.Anyway, compared with Yangzhou and Guangzhou, the standard of living must drop a lot.Cui Pu secretly thought.

However, since Mu Jiaojiao has said so, he is still a little emotional.

"Then let's call the big lady and the little lady over to ask!" He thought for a while and said.

The nurse quickly called the eldest lady and the younger lady together.

In a blink of an eye, the eldest lady was ten years old.The little child appeared slim and tall, wearing a bright red cloak, showing his slender stature and good manners.Because of Madam Lu's strict teaching these years, she stood there quietly like a graceful lotus, extremely beautiful.But once she moves, she reveals a bit of heroic spirit, every move is well-behaved but full of strength.It's really as quiet as a virgin and as moving as a rabbit.

The little lady is only over one year old. This child has always been dull and slow to respond. What she loves most is eating.Of course, if her brothers and sisters come to play with her, she will be too happy to find Bei.Now she is a small ball, wearing a red cloak that is exactly the same as the big lady, but it makes her round and cute little face like a ball.Being led by my elder sister to walk forward, she couldn't cross the threshold even if she raised her calf, and she was so anxious that tears rolled in her eyes.

Seeing this, the nurse wanted to hug her, but the eldest lady waved her away.The eldest lady hugged her with her own hands, and the little lady immediately smiled again: "Sister... good!" After saying these three words in a childish voice, she hugged the eldest lady's neck tightly, and gave her a hug. Salivating kisses.

The eldest lady quickly wiped her face: "How many times have I told you, don't kiss me indiscriminately! Kiss me well, look, now my face is full of saliva again!"

The little lady grinned and continued to giggle, not taking her words seriously at all.After wiping her face clean, the eldest lady stopped being angry, and continued to walk forward holding Amei's little hand with a gentle face.

Seeing the interaction between the two daughters, Cui Pu's eyes softened, and he hurriedly called the two daughters to his side, hugging them in his arms from left to right.

The little lady climbed to Cui Pu's knee and sat down again.The eldest lady insisted on standing beside Cui Pu like a grown-up, and said: "I have grown up, so I don't want my father to hug me anymore!"

"Well, my eldest lady has indeed grown up to the height of my father's waist." Cui Pu said helplessly.

The eldest lady immediately put a stern face on her face: "I'm still growing! Wait for another two years, and I'll be as tall as you!"

"Yes, yes, Dad is also waiting for this day!" Cui Pu nodded quickly.

You can tell at a glance that he is perfunctory.

The eldest lady snorted unhappily, but immediately smiled brightly at Cui Puyang: "Father, I heard that we are going to the northwest this time, is it true?"

He hasn't told her yet, why did this girl take the initiative to ask him?And he was so excited that he really felt that his previous worries were in vain.

"Yes." He said, "To Liangzhou."

"Wow, that's Dunhuang? I heard that there are many camels in Dunhuang, and there are also Mogao Grottoes, and many murals inside are very beautiful! Dad, I want to go there to play! I want to ride a camel! Let's pack up and go there! "The eldest lady's eyes sparkled suddenly, she hurriedly grabbed Cui Pu's hand, jumped and screamed non-stop.

Just now he said that he had grown up, but in the blink of an eye he started acting coquettish and cute to him.

And the little lady was so happy to see Elder Sister, she smiled and waved her little hand. "Camels! Camels!"

Seeing that a pair of sons and daughters are so happy, what else can he say?

Cui Pu let out a long sigh: "But I have to say the ugly words first. The environment in that place is not even comparable to Guangzhou. You have to be prepared to endure hardships when you get there."

"I'm not afraid of suffering, anyway, my parents are here!" The eldest lady said indifferently.

The little lady also threw herself into Cui Pu's arms. "Father!"

Cui Pu is completely speechless now.

Why are his daughters so distressing?Originally, he wanted to tell them about the situation in the Northwest, so that they could think about it.If they really can't bear it, then he will send them back to Chang'an and give them to Madam Cui to raise them.But now, just at the beginning of the conversation, the two children had already expressed their endless trust in their parents, so he felt that he didn't need to say anything.

Is there anything in this world that is more comfortable and happy than a happy family together?
However, he deliberately put on a serious face and said: "This is your own decision. When the time comes, if you feel that you can't bear hardships and cry, I won't condone you anymore."

"Father, don't worry! A Niang is so fierce, she won't let me cry! Besides, she has never indulged me!" The eldest lady smiled and nodded, sticking out her tongue at Mu Jiaojiao.

The little lady followed suit, sticking out her little pink tongue to Mu Jiaojiao.

In the future, I can't let the little lady hang around with her anymore.Look at what she has taught Amei to be?The good ones have not been learned, but the bad ones have been learned!Mu Jiaojiao shook his head weakly.

However, since the two young ladies are willing to go with them, Mu Jiaojiao is even more noncommittal about this matter, and Cui Pu is also completely relieved.

As for Mr. Dalang and Mr. Erlang, we just need to wait for them to be notified during dinner and the matter will be over.

After this matter was settled, Cui Pu began to order people to pack up and prepare to go northwest.Guangzhou is at the southernmost point of the New Tang Dynasty, while Liangzhou is almost at the northernmost point.From the south to the north, it is almost necessary to go through the entire Xintang Dynasty, and it will take two or three months at the shortest time.If you leave after the next year, you will have to wait until April or May to arrive at your destination.

Knowing that Cui Pu was promoted and that he had gone to such an important place, the officials in the south of the Five Ridges admired Cui Pu even more.Even though they knew he was leaving, they still came to visit him one after another. They only hoped to have a good relationship with him now, and maybe they could take advantage of him when Cui Pu became prosperous in the future!

When Pei Jinglue heard the news, he specially set up a banquet for Cui Pu's family.

"Going to Liangzhou now, the burden on Cui Jieshi's shoulders is even heavier. But the old man thought that with Cui Jieshi's ability, he would be able to spread his wings in that wider place. Maybe when we meet again next time, we will have already It's equal. The old man is waiting for that day to come!"

He really has confidence in Cui Pu.Look, when he first arrived in Yangzhou, he didn't have anything. How could he manage Tianchang County prosperously?Later, when he arrived in Guangzhou, facing many difficulties, he still stepped out, firmly trampled under his feet all those who wanted to suppress him, and made all other people who wanted to see jokes bow down obediently.He has already learned so many lessons. Even if the situation in Liangzhou is complicated and difficult, he firmly believes that with Cui Pu's wisdom and skill, he will definitely open up the situation as soon as possible, then gain a firm foothold, and then slowly expand the situation. Lu Zi finally made everyone look at him with admiration.

This young man has this ability!

Cui Pu has been with Pei Jinglue for four years, and Cui Pu also admires this Lingnan aborigine very much.He was very excited when he heard Pei Jinglue's words: "With your kind words, I also hope that I can show my glory somewhere."

He wasn't humble either.

However, he doesn't need to be humble, he has proven it countless times that he is such a high-profile person!He also has high-profile capital!
Pei Jinglue laughed out loud and hurriedly toasted to persuade him to drink.

After pushing and changing cups several times, the two parties drank very happily.After eating the wine, envoy Pei Jinglue personally sent Cui Pu out, and when he reached the Chuihua Gate, he suddenly asked: "By the way, the environment in Liangzhou is not good, will King Hejian go with you?"

As soon as these words came out, Cui Pu's complexion sank.

"No more." He said coldly.

Pei Jing was slightly taken aback.Why did Cui Pu hate this person so much?Obviously he wasn't like this the last time we met.

However, Cui Pu obviously didn't intend to say more about this matter, so he said goodbye quickly, and led his wife and children back home.

At the same time, at the gate of Hejian County Prince's Mansion.

After loading everything into the carriage, King Hejian helped Liang Changshi's hand to get into the carriage.

Sitting down in the carriage, King Hejian closed his eyes: "Let's go!"

"Your Majesty, did you really not inform Governor Cui and the others? And the eldest lady..."

"No need, let's go!" Prince Hejian said calmly.

Liang Changshi had no choice but to put down the curtain, and waved: "Let's go!"

This time, they are going back to Chang'an for the New Year.
