Chapter 630 Assassin
"Cousin Cui, long time no see!"

Wu Wuniang smiled softly, her voice was as soft as a pool of spring water, she stood in front of Cui Youbo, curtseying.

Cui Youbo was stunned for a moment, then returned to normal, he also smiled slightly, and replied: "It turns out that she is a cousin of the Wu family. I haven't seen you for a long time, is it safe?"

Wu Wuniang's expression was still gentle, with a bit of bitterness in her eyes, she twitched the corners of her mouth and said, "Shang Ke. But my cousin, I haven't seen you for a few years, and he is still as handsome and free as he was back then!"

Cui Youbo raised his eyebrows lightly, and said with a smile: "Cousin Wu is joking, a certain official has been up and down for several years, and has been entangled in mundane affairs all day, how can he be half-sexy and free and easy? Hehe, my cousin didn't say that I am vulgar, she is showing mercy !"

Wu Wuniang smiled brightly, and said in a crisp voice: "Why should my cousin be humble? Is there any vulgar person in the world who would admit that he is 'vulgar'? Cousin like this is vulgar and elegant."

The corners of Cui Youbo's lips curled up, he didn't say anything, but he was thinking in his heart, why did the Wu family come to Huangshui?

Wu Wuniang, however, still expressed the joy of "meeting an old acquaintance in a foreign land", and kept talking to Cui Youbo about the past few years and topics that both of them liked back then.

In the eyes of outsiders, this man and woman get along very well, at least in the eyes of Guo Jizu, the host who held the banquet today, he couldn't help but feel secretly happy, feeling that his strategy was half successful.

"Cousin, do you remember? That day we discussed poetry together by candlelight. My cousin talked about allusions, famous sayings, and elegant things from the pre-Qin period to the present. My little sister really benefited a lot..."

Wu Wuniang is still recalling the past, remembering that when she first met Cui Youbo, he was so handsome, elegant, and knowledgeable, she fell in love with this man almost at first sight.

It is true that Cui Youbo's surname and his family background are the biggest reasons for her heart, but Cui Youbo's outstanding appearance and talent also make her admire him endlessly.

At that time, she only wanted to stay by Cui Youbo's side, even if she committed herself to be a concubine, she was willing.

He only hated Xiao Shi for being jealous, even though he was so wronged, she actually pressed her every step of the way and forced her out of Cui's house.

Looking back, after Wu Wuniang was 'sent' back to the Wu family by the Cui family, I don't know what Mrs. Cui's people said to Wu Wuniang's father. Not long after she returned home, Wu's father made an appointment for her .

A marriage that has caused her pain to this day.

When Wu Wuniang thought of the marriage that almost ruined her life, she couldn't help feeling resentful——

She hates Xiao Shi, why is she so jealous, she has everything, but she is still so domineering;
She hates Mrs. Cui for meddling in her own business, she is obviously a fool, but she still has to intervene in everything;
She hated her father, who knew what was on her mind, yet married her off to a humble scholar, and sent her away from the capital...

Maybe life is too unsatisfactory, Wu Wuniang resents everyone around her, she even hates Cui Youbo, obviously he also has a good impression of her, why is she still so 'cowardly'?Letting a woman ride on his neck to do her best?
After a long time, this hatred turned into an obsession. She even forgot why she hated those people in the first place. She only had pure 'hate' in her heart.

It is also because of the word 'hate' that she will appear in front of Cui Youbo again today.

"what?"

Cui Youbo was keenly aware of the coldness that flashed in Wu Wuniang's eyes, he couldn't help wondering, and asked in a low voice: "Sixth Brother once mentioned that Cousin Wu's husband is an official in Sichuan, why don't you see my cousin's husband today?"

In fact, he wanted to ask more whether Wu Wuniang was visiting relatives or taking office with her husband.

Because if Wu's husband came to take office, why didn't he, the governor, know about it?

Wu Wuniang's gentle expression froze, and she smiled insincerely, and said, "Lang Jun, he died of illness three years ago. I, I came to join my mother's uncle."

Cui Youbo's complexion changed slightly, he was surprised and apologetic, and said in a low voice: "I'm sorry, I didn't know... Sigh, please express my condolences to the cousin of the Wu family..."

Wu Wuniang didn't show much sadness, she seemed to be used to it, her expression was a little numb, but there was a look of relief in her eyes, she concealed it very well, if you don't observe carefully, you really can't see it.

However, Cui Youbo has honed in the officialdom for nearly ten years, and what he is best at is observing words and expressions. He still accurately captured the strange look of Wu Wuniang, and the doubts in his heart were even heavier.

"...It's okay, the most difficult moment, I, I have already survived..."

Wu Wuniang lowered her eyelids and sighed faintly, "I was originally an ominous person. Since I married my husband, his body has not been very healthy. After the husband has gone, I have not been able to give birth to a child for him." Half girl, oh..."

In fact, Wu Wuniang is very fortunate that she and her late husband have no children. If she carries a bottle of oil with her, it will affect the quality of her remarriage.

Cui Youbo showed pity on his face, like a brother who cared about his sister, and persuaded softly: "Cousin Wu, why do you need to be like this, people have their own destiny, how can others control it? Cousin often says 'you don't say anything. Strange powers and chaos, why do you still believe in these absurd words of 'auspicious' and 'ominous'?"

Wu Wuniang suddenly raised her head, stared at Cui Youbo with burning eyes, and said in a trembling voice, "You don't dislike me, cousin?"

This is so...it is easy to cause misunderstandings!
Cui Youbo's heart trembled, and a very uncomfortable feeling arose spontaneously.

He suppressed the displeasure in his heart, and said with a smile: "Look at what my cousin said, you are the cousin of the sixth sister-in-law, that is, a relative of my Cui family. Between relatives, what are you talking about 'dislike' and 'not dislike'? By chance, I'm the elder, if I don't take good care of my cousin, I won't be able to explain when I see my sister-in-law, right?"

When it comes to the latter, Cui Youbo's words are also somewhat joking.

But if you take a closer look, you will find that it is tricky: Uncle Cui only took care of Wu Wuniang, a relative who had turned around several times, for the sake of his sister-in-law. As for other relationships, he didn't even think about it.

Wu Wuniang is a smart person, she immediately understood the meaning of Cui Youbo's words, her excited expression darkened in an instant, and she said, "Then, thank you cousin!"

After that, she bowed her head in silence.

In order to break the somewhat awkward atmosphere, Cui Youbo took the initiative to change the subject and asked: "By the way, just now my cousin said that she is here to visit relatives. I don't know which family it is from. Is everything going well?"

Wu Wuniang raised her head, glanced at the guests around, and said in a low voice: "Everything is going well, my distant uncle is Guo Biejia, he is my mother's elder brother, although he has been out of five clothes, He took good care of his mother and uncle.

Four years ago, when my husband and I went to Lanzhou to be an official, I ran into Uncle Guo, who took great care of us and my wife.The two also exchange letters from time to time.Later, when my uncle heard about my husband, he wanted to pick me up to Huangshui, but I had to keep my filial piety for my husband at that time, so—"

Guo Jizu is Wu Wuniang's uncle?

Cui Youbo frowned slightly, and the uncomfortable feeling became more intense.

Now his relationship with Guo Jizu is very delicate. Last time when He Lubing surrounded Huangshui, Guo Jizu took the initiative to take a step back and reminded him of something.

As for Cui Youbo, he didn't want to form a deadly feud with Guo Jizu.Since the other party intends to give in, he will show one or two in a timely manner.

Everyone is in the officialdom, so they understand the truth of 'there is no absolute enemy, only eternal interests', the enemy is present, and the common interests of the two are threatened, so they naturally formed a temporary alliance, with the same guns foreign.

But this temporary reconciliation lost its effectiveness as early as the moment He Lu withdrew his troops.

Today, the two stand on the opposite side of their interests.

It's just that Guo Jizu learned to be smart this time, and he no longer confronted Cui Jieshi with open flames, but moved everything underground. In the past year, the two had no major conflicts, but they often made small moves in private.

Don't look at Cui Youbo who seems to have an absolute advantage and has firmly controlled Shanzhou.

But Guo Jizu's more than ten years in Shanzhou was not in vain. His old acquaintances were all over the big and small yamen in Shanzhou. Attracted.

After Guo Jizu's series connection, using real money as a stepping stone, he really won over many people.

Therefore, there was a situation in Shanzhou where the governor and Biejia were fighting again, and there were many middle and low-level officials behind each side.

In general, Cui Youbo won more.

At such a moment, Wu Wuniang suddenly appeared with such a strange identity. Is this accidental or artificial?

Cui Youbo narrowed his eyes slightly, his brain was running fast.

Why did Cui Youbo say that Wu Wuniang's identity is weird?
To be honest, he also had a crush on Wu Wuniang back then. Wu Wuniang was good-looking, good-tempered, well-educated, and well-educated. No matter how you look at it, she was a very suitable candidate for a confidante.

It's just that the time the two spent together was too short, and Xiao Nan was staring at him from the sidelines, that's why they didn't continue to develop.

But in the depths of Cui Youbo's heart, he still retains the best memories of Wu Wuniang. He also felt faintly happy when he saw Wu Wuniang for the first time.

For a man, especially an ancient man, it is simply a fantasy to want him to be devoted to a woman and only willing to live with a woman.

Of course, he didn't think about what to do with Wu Wuniang. At present, Cui Youbo still prefers and relies on his wife more.

But it's not a bad thing to have a confidante with a common language, especially when he is alone in a foreign land, he still sincerely welcomes the appearance of Wu Wuniang, an "old friend".

But why is this confidante the enemy's distant niece?

Is this another trick by Guo Jizu?
Cui Youbo was thinking full of doubts, when suddenly, there was a commotion not far away, the guests who had been chatting leisurely and drinking tea fled in all directions, and four or five men in black Hu suits came in with a machete in their hands .

"No, there are assassins!"

The alarm bell in Cui Youbo's heart rang loudly, and then, a terrified female voice came from next to his ear: "Cui Lang, be careful!"

Before he finished speaking, a feathered arrow pierced through the air from Cui Youbo's back, aiming at his back...

PS: Make up yesterday's as usual.

 The younger sister and daughter-in-law were discharged from the hospital, and Mosa was finally able to relax.A certain Sa's mother died young, so I dare not say that my elder sister is like a mother, but for her only biological brother, a certain Sa still wants to do more things for him.So, I'm really sorry for the past few days, dear ones. In the next few days, a certain Sa will probably continue to work with diapers and feeding bottles. However, a certain Sa will try her best to ensure normal updates. Please forgive me!
