The ultimate rebirth of the abandoned woman

Chapter 622 The Fall
"welcome!"

Cui Youbo remained calm, and raised his voice to order.

The thing is like this, even if people in the whole city and even the whole state know that the governor and Bie Jia are at odds, and have secretly fought several times, as long as the two of them don't openly tear each other apart, they still have to have the proper etiquette on the surface.

Everyone also suppressed their smiles, took two steps back unconsciously, moved the venue away, and waited curiously and eagerly for the performance of the good show.

There are still those who are active in their minds, and have already begun to speculate, Guo Jizu suddenly ran up to the city gate, what happened?
They didn't believe a word of Xiaobing's report just now.

It was not the first time for He Lu to attack the city. Compared with today, the first time he attacked the city that day was quite noisy. The sound of explosions made the ground in Huangshui tremble.

With such a big battle, it is slow to say that people are pretending to be sick, even if they are really sick, they probably have to jump out of the house to find out.

But Guo Jizu held back, and kept pretending to be deaf and dumb and not knowing.

At that time, it was not that no one had guessed Guo Jizu's intentions in this move.

For example, Liang Ke, who has worked under Guo Biejia for several years, knows a little about Guo Biejia, but this time he is a little confused.

In private, Liang Ke also exchanged ideas with his father. He said this to Liang's father: "Aye, Guo is a scoundrel in small things, but he is quite clear about big things. But this time he knows that Huangshui has It’s really difficult, but you still stand by and watch, it’s a bit abnormal.”

Liang's father had already guessed what Guo Jizu was thinking, but his son had grown up. What he had to do was not to teach his son how to do it step by step, but to slowly inspire his son to think for himself.

What you want to understand is far more impressive than someone else telling you the answer directly.

"Oh, then what do you think?" Father Liang asked slowly, taking a sip of tea.

Liang Ke frowned slightly, and after concentrating on thinking for a while, he replied: "Er, I think he is waiting for the new assassin to come to 'ask for advice'."

Father Liang's eyes lit up, but he was not in a hurry to affirm or deny, but continued to ask: "Oh? How do you say that?"

The more Liang Ke thought about it, the more he felt that it made sense, and his train of thought gradually became smoother. He said, "Now Mr. Cui Lang is taking the lead on Guo Biejia for the time being, but this does not mean that Guo Biejia will give up completely. In terms of family background, knowledge, connections, etc. In terms of respect, Guo Biejia is not as good as Cui Langjun, but he is also good at—”

Guo Jizu is best at fighting and killing people.

After all, he was a person who fought against the late emperor. Although he didn't know the art of war, he was adept at fighting.

Guo Jizu's specialty may still be a disadvantage in normal times (people who love to fight are hot-tempered and prone to trouble), but in wartime, especially when the city is besieged by enemy soldiers, it is a great advantage.

Liang Ke knew Guo Jizu well, he didn't like to make money-losing business the most, this time he finally had a chance, he would definitely take advantage of his own advantages.

It would be even more perfect if he could use this to make the new governor subdued and plead for mercy, and let Cui Xiaozi know who is in charge of Shanzhou.

Therefore, even though he knew that Huangshui was in danger, Guo Jizu resisted not to show up, and only waited for the new assassin to come to 'ask for advice'.

Liang Ke could even imagine Guo Jizu proudly showing off to the new governor: I can't make connections; you can't fight wars!

It's a pity that the new governor is not only well-connected, but also very capable, and has a capable wife. He insisted on not begging someone from Guo, and still beat the Turkic people who attacked the city to pieces.

And with the momentum of thunder, he once again frightened the crowd, unintentionally inserting willows and willows into shadows, and the prestige of the new governor reached a new high.

The plan fell through, and while Guo Jizu regretted it, he also began to think about the next move.

He can't stay at home to 'recover his illness'. If this continues, Huangshui really won't be able to get back.

For this reason, when Guo Jizu heard that He Lu attacked the city again, his heart moved, and he decided to take the initiative to invite Ying, and at least let Cui Xiaozi see that he, Mr. Guo, is not a coward. Although he is old, he can still fight the enemy.

Regardless of whether he can retreat from the enemy or not, he must at least show some performance.

However, God seemed to be deliberately embarrassing Guo Jizu. As soon as he rushed to the downstairs of the city gate in armor, the battle ended.

Moreover, it was Cui Youbo who retreated from the enemy with all his strength, and his own side did not hurt a single soldier, but the enemy even destroyed the large tent of the Chinese army. This, this...

Guo Jizu really wanted to scream up to the sky, God, are you playing with me? !
After all, Guo Jizu is not an ordinary person, and he has been in the officialdom for many years, his old face has long been tempered to be extremely thick, he only changed his face slightly, and then returned to normal, he still supported the servant with one hand, and went up Watchtower.

Since the second plan also failed, it could only be the trump card.

Guo Jizu went up the steps step by step, his mind was spinning rapidly, when he came to Cui Youbo, he had already thought of a new way, and his expression was adjusted to 'annoyed' and 'guilt'.

He pushed the servant away, staggered towards him, clasped his fists, saluted Cui Youbo, and said with self-blame: "Your official is late, please don't blame Mr. Cui Lang!"

Cui Youbo's eyes slid across Guo Jizu's body slowly, and after he finished his salute, he put his hands up and said with a smile: "Oh, don't be in good health yet, how can you be so busy? Come on, why don't you hurry up?" Bring me a bed for you?"

Guo Jizu's posture was very low, not at all arrogant and domineering like that day, he waved his hands again and again, "No way, no way, this official is here to assist Cui Langjun to defend the city, not to recuperate, how can he be too comfortable?! By the way, sir, how is the battle going?"

As if he didn't hear the loud roar just now, Guo Jizu asked eagerly: "I heard that the old thief He Lu has kidnapped the people in the suburbs. I wonder if those people are still safe?"

Cui Youbo raised his eyebrows, and said with a slight smile, "Don't worry, He Lu has already retreated, and the people have all entered the city smoothly."

He figured it out, Guo Jizu made up his mind to 'talk' with him, and he definitely couldn't send him back with just a few words.

That being the case, Cui Youbo decided to help others. He deliberately looked around and frowned slightly, "This is not a place to talk. Since the Turkic people have retreated, we don't need to guard here anymore. Others are fine, but Guo Biejia's My body can't bear it."

Everyone was very knowledgeable, knowing that the two bosses wanted to talk in private, so they all retreated under the pretext of going back to work.

Cui Youbo and Guo Jizu walked at the end, they went downstairs with their arms together, their attitude was very intimate.

If people who don't know it look at it, they will think that this is a pair of harmonious uncles and nephews, or that they are friends who have forgotten each other.How could they have imagined that these two were choking each other like sworn enemies a few months ago.

Guo Biejia is still 'recovering from illness', so he came here by horse-drawn carriage.But Cui Youbo and others came on horseback.

Guo Jizu warmly invited Cui Youbo to ride with him, the reason being: "It's cold, the governor must not catch a cold."

Cui Youbo didn't refuse. He also wanted to hear what Guo Jizu wanted to say to him. He let Guo Jizu get into the car first, and he followed.

The charcoal basin was burning in the carriage, and it was very relaxing. Cui Youbo and Guo Jizu sat a few pairs away, and there was a pot of freshly brewed tea on the small table.

Guo Jizu got up and poured a cup of tea for Uncle Cui, with a very humble attitude, just like all lower officials, he served Shangfeng very respectfully.

Cui Youbo raised his eyebrows again, and thought, this Guo Jizu is a character, and he is better than most people in the single 'able to bend and stretch'.

Reciprocity, people lowered their posture, and it was not easy for him to put on the airs of a Shangguan and thank him politely.

After the two exchanged pleasantries, Guo Jizu went straight to the topic: "Mr. Cui Lang, we have been besieged in Huangshui for nearly a month, but the reinforcements have not yet arrived. Do you know the reason?!"

Cui Youbo's heart trembled, that's right, this situation is too abnormal, Xue Niangzi and Zhao Liu broke through at the same time, the reinforcements from the capital have all arrived, no matter how slow Zhao Liu's speed is, he should have climbed in half a month Arrived at Duhufu.

Now whether it is the Duhu Mansion or the Pingxi Army, they have never shown up. Is there something wrong with Zhao Liu on the way, or is there something wrong with the reinforcements? !

……

"Oh, I don't know what's wrong with Mr. Lang."

Xiao Nan was sitting in the main hall, and Yuzan was kneeling beside her, slowly reading the invitations sent by several families, she had two things to do, listening to Yuzan's report with one ear, but she was thinking about Uncle Cui in her heart.

"...I just hope that Li Rong will be more reliable this time and transport the things to Shanzhou as soon as possible,"

Xiao Nan kept rubbing his fingers on the Bansi hidden pouch, and his thoughts had already flown to Huangshui thousands of miles away, "I hope those information will be useful to Mr. Lang, alas, I never thought that the Chai family would be with—"

"Ma'am, on the sixteenth day of the first lunar month, the Chai family will hold a plum-appreciating banquet. You, Dalang (referring to Changsheng) and Da Niang (referring to Lingxi) are invited to enjoy plum blossoms together. Liu Langjun and his wife will also go with their children."

Yuzan spoke in a calm voice, and from the corner of her eye, she saw that Xiao Nan seemed to be distracted, her voice could not help but pause, hesitating whether to remind the master.

"Oh, Qiang Qiang is going too?"

Xiao Nan was startled, and sighed silently in his heart, wondering if this turmoil would affect Chai Jiuniang's family.

She remembered very clearly that in her previous life Chai Concubine was convicted, and the official statement was that he colluded with the Wei family with evil intentions.

But in fact, Xiao Nan had never heard of any disobedience by the Wei family, and when the emperor condemned the crime afterwards, only a few lords of the Wei family were exiled to Lingnan, and the head of the Wei family was still in the capital. Not being affected, Concubine Wei Shu and her children stayed in the palace well.

Only Chai Consort's family, the princess was given to death, Chai Concubine's body was still stabbed after committing suicide, and all the children were displaced for three thousand miles.

If Princess Pingyang was not still there, even Chai Consort's elder brother would be implicated.

At that time, Xiao Nan had quietly asked Li Jing, what did Consort Chai do to make the emperor so angry.Li Jing talked about him from left to right, but refused to tell the truth, and diverted the topic to other places.

This matter has also become an unsolved case, except for the person involved and the person in charge (Li Jing), it is estimated that no one knows.

Yuzan nodded, "That's what the person sent by the Chai family to deliver the invitation said."

Xiao Nan nodded slightly, indicating that he understood, and signaled her to continue.

Yuzan was about to speak, when suddenly a heavy bell sounded from outside, coming from the direction of Taiji Palace one after another.

Xiao Nan sat up straight and counted the times carefully. Finally, her heart sank and her face changed suddenly—it was the death knell, the empress dowager passed away!
