Hello Chang’an

Chapter 18 The Cat and the Giant Kun

 After a moment, Wei Shuyi said: "Probably because he is a rebellious person by nature."

After saying that, he felt it was not enough and shook his head: "No, this is obviously because someone has grown out of his bones."

Chang Suining: "..."

How "reverse" does it have to be to be worthy of such a description?

Wei Shuyi sighed: "If the distinguished and noble head of the Cui family did not do this, he would rather betray the Cui family and be scolded by his family than go to fight for his life on the battlefield. Others surrendered to the army to fight on the battlefield, either because they were forced to survive or because of Victory, fame and wealth, and more righteously, serving the court, but he doesn't need these at all... What else can this be but rebellion? "

Not necessarily?

Chang Sui Ning raised his head slightly and looked at the bright moon in the night.

She didn't know what kind of person Cui Jing was or why he joined the ranks of military generals on the battlefield, but in the eyes of some people, the land he stepped on, no matter what grew on it, was worth protecting with his life.

Only when you step on the land and look up at the moon in your hometown will you see the bright moon.

Seeing her silence, Wei Shuyi turned his head slightly and looked over.

The girl, still wearing a young ponytail, raised her face slightly, her fair face covered with a faint moonlight, giving it a hazy brilliance.

There was no expression on her face, it was a kind of quietness from the inside out, so quiet that no one could detect her slightest thoughts and mood swings, so quiet that it felt like there was only mystery left, but there was nowhere to explore.

Wei Shuyi narrowed his eyes slightly, and then looked at the bright moon.

In such an unspeakable silence, he seemed to have walked a road he had never walked before—

After watching Chang Suining return to the courtyard, Wei Shuyi said these words to himself thoughtfully: "...It seems as if he has never walked such a journey before."

"But this is the first time Langjun has come here, and he has never walked this journey before." Changji said matter-of-factly.

"..." Wei Shuyi just pretended not to hear.

"Mr. Lang, how do you plan to repay Mrs. Chang's life-saving kindness?" Changji followed up and asked curiously.

Today by the stream, Mrs. Chang rescued Lang Jun twice. He saw it with his own eyes. Although thinking about it in retrospect, it was still incredible. Mrs. Chang obviously had no physical strength to speak of, but she seemed to have one more eye than others, so she could always save him earlier. One step sees the danger in the dark.

"Ms. Chang doesn't want to accept this life-saving grace." Wei Shuyi put his hands behind his back and said in a casual tone, "You taught me how to be a good person."

"Is there anyone in this world who can teach you, Lang Jun..." Changji muttered, thinking of the gentlemen and scholars who were angered by Lang Jun in the past.

Wei Shuyi laughed and sighed vaguely: "Yes."

After a while, Fang Lian lost his thoughts and asked, "Have you sent anything to Zhao Fu?"

"I have been sent there by Langjun's order. That Zhao Fu must not dare to sleep a wink tonight."

Under Wei Shuyi's arrangement, Zhao Fu had been secretly escorted to this place a day earlier.

What was sent to Zhao Fu was the severed head of the stand-in on the prison car.

As for where the substitute came from, he was an old acquaintance of Zhao Fu. It was Li Zheng who was close to him in Zhoujia Village.

It was unclear whether Zhao Fu dared to close his eyes that night, facing the head of an old acquaintance, but seeing Chang Kuo's Chang Sui Ning, he did have a good sleep.

Early the next morning, after eating her breakfast, she went to Chang Kuo's place.

"Mr. Lang, please wait a moment. Governor Cui is discussing matters with the general in the study." The person who spoke was the deputy general Chu Xing next to Chang Kuo.

Chang Suining recognized him, but in her memory, he still looked like Chu Xing in his early thirties.

More than ten years have sharpened one's sharpness and become more restrained, like an old sword hidden in a sheath, solemn and heavy.

Chu Xing has been with Chang Kuo all year round. He is a subordinate and a confidant. He naturally recognizes Chang Sui Ning. It was only now that he was out and about, so he called her Lang Jun, and his tone was relatively gentle: "Mr. Lang, you can Let’s go sit in the hall and drink tea.”

Drinking tea alone is boring. Chang Suining is someone who can't sit still easily: "It doesn't matter, I'll just wait in the courtyard."

"Then, sir, you can take a walk as you like." Chu Xing subconsciously looked towards the courtyard as he spoke - although... there was nothing to take a walk around.

The yard in the post house is naturally not big. Apart from the soldiers guarding it, there are only weapon racks used by General Chenchen and others for martial arts training. This is obviously not something a timid little girl would like... right?

Chu Xing had just finished saying something in his mind, and when he saw Chang Sui Ning walking towards the weapon rack, he temporarily bent his tongue.

Seeing Chang Suining raising her hand to touch the crossbow, scimitar and other weapons on the weapon rack, Chu Xing was about to remind her to be careful when he saw that the girl had already retracted her hand and walked towards the big knife stuck vertically on the ground. .

That's Chang Kuo's knife.

It was obvious that he had finished practicing early in the morning, but he casually inserted it into the training ground paved with extremely hard gravel.

This is easy to put in place, but it is not simple.

This sword is wide and sharp, with a heavy back. It weighs one hundred and thirty-six kilograms excluding the ring. This sword was specially made for Chang Kuo by Ming Neng Craftsman, the general who founded the Xuance Army. The sword was named Zhan Xiu.

Chang Suining's thoughts became distant for a moment. She raised her hand to touch the handle of the knife and held it slowly.

The "young man" looked calm and held the knife calmly -

Chu Xing was stunned when he saw it, and felt that he was hallucinating, as if the "young man" was about to pull out the big knife at the next moment.

-Wait, she really pulled it out!

Seeing her move, Chu Xing's breath suffocated.

—The broadsword did not move at all.

Chu Xing's hanging breath was released, and he returned to reality instantly.

What was he inexplicably fantasizing about just now?

"Zhan Xiu" is the sword of the general. Not to mention the delicate little girl, there are only a handful of people in the army who can pick it up with one hand.

However, he saw that the "young man" did not give up, and also used his other hand to pull out the knife. He gritted his teeth and his fair face turned red from the exertion.

Chu Xing gradually became happy.

Cui Jing, who walked out of the study, turned her head and saw this scene.

The thin "young man" was trying his best to draw the sword, but the sword was motionless.

It was more likely that the knife would pull her out than that she would pull it out.

In Cui Jing's eyes, the situation seemed like a full-moon kitten confronting a giant kun—

When the "cat" was so tired that it was about to explode, it seemed that it finally recognized how much it weighed. It shook its red hands, put them on its waist, and looked helplessly at the big knife that left it unable to do anything.

"Lang Jun, this knife is so heavy, we can't lift it even if we work together." A Che took out his kitchen knife considerately: "Lang Jun, use this!"

Looking at the kitchen knife handed to him, Chang Suining was silent for a moment.

"No need." She looked at the 'Zhan Xiu' standing there again and said, "I will pick it up sooner or later."

The voice was neither light nor heavy, but it was full of determination.

Suddenly a hearty laugh rang out: "Okay, okay, be ambitious!"

Chang Kuo came out, stroking his hands, looking like he was making the child happy.

Hearing this coaxing tone, Chang Sui Ning, who was standing under the weapons rack with his arms akimbo, looked towards him helplessly.

When he turned around, he suddenly met a pair of deep and cold eyebrows.

Governor: Look, Cat and Kun!

Ningning (calm akimbo version): I am the big fish. (After all, Ah Li is a big carp.
