don't fight the general

Chapter 16

After leaving Yan Jing's place, Cui Wei suddenly became idle. He rode his horse aimlessly around the paddock, but he didn't know what to do next.

Today's occasion is really not suitable for him. If it weren't for the elder sister, he would not have traveled all the way back from the northwest.In the final analysis, the Northwest is better. Although the situation is complicated, friction with Beiliang cannot be avoided, and sometimes there are many crises, but for Cui Wei, he is able to handle it with ease.Unlike Chaozhong, which seems to be calm, it is actually undercurrents, with all kinds of suspicions and temptations, as well as a lot of helplessness and helplessness.

For example, I just met the second prince and those from the Zheng family.

Cui Wei has always been clear that because his elder sister took the position of queen, the members of the Zheng family will inevitably have a lot of opinions. Normally, if he doesn't know, he can pretend nothing happened. In front of him, using his elder sister to threaten and mock King Rui, he couldn't sit idly by.

Cui Wei shook his head slightly on the horseback, recalled what he said just now, and felt that there was nothing wrong with it, and then thought about the reactions of those people, it seemed that there should be no major problem.He was not afraid of anything, but if he accidentally made an omission in his words and was caught by these people, and it would be blamed on the Cui family and the eldest sister, that would be something he cared about.

That's why he didn't want to get in touch with these people in the DPRK. He was really not good at this kind of communication that was beating around the bush, probing and ridiculing, superficially calm and actually eccentric.Cui Wei feels that sometimes one has to seek advantages and avoid disadvantages, and it is better to try to avoid such things that are not good at.

As for these two active contacts with King Rui, it can be said to be helpless.

Others said that this King Rui is an idiot, but Cui Wei only thinks that this person is really weird and difficult to get along with. Every time he talks to him, he has to think twice, for fear that he will be misunderstood by this person and cause more troubles. trouble.If he met such a person on a normal day, Cui Wei would definitely have taken a detour and walked away early, but this time he was guilty of the first, so he could only face the difficulties.

Although it was very difficult, at least I finally had the opportunity to apologize to that person today, and the apology was accepted. When I returned to the northwest, I would prepare a generous gift and visit him again. The misunderstanding between the two should be Can it be resolved?

Thinking of this, Cui Wei couldn't help heaving a sigh of relief, raised his eyes and looked around, finally chose a direction where no one was around, flicked his horsewhip, and galloped away.

Cui Wei always felt as comfortable as a fish in water on the horse, and the mountain wind whistled past his ears, blowing away the rare melancholy just now.The paddock covers a huge area, and I didn't see anyone along the way. It felt like I was the only one in the world.

But he still felt that it was a little less interesting. Compared with the vast Gobi in the northwest, this paddock was a bit more restrained after all.It had been more than half a month since he left the Northwest. Although he knew that Fu Yue and the generals in the army were there for everything, he was still a little worried. After the eldest sister's birthday passed today, it was time to leave tomorrow.

While his thoughts were drifting, Cui Wei suddenly noticed a horse appeared in front of him. The man on that horse was holding a longbow and staring intently at the bushes not far away.

Cui Wei hastily reined in his horse, watched the man draw an arrow from a distance, then drove his horse forward, and said softly to the man, "Why didn't sister rest in the tent?" Halfway through speaking, he looked around I looked around and saw no other figures, "Are you here alone?"

Cui Qiao turned her head and watched Cui Wei coming in front of her, with the corners of her lips slightly raised: "It's a rare opportunity to leave the imperial city, of course I have to walk around." She glanced in the direction where she shot the arrow just now, regretting Said, "It's just that some things have been thrown away for too long, and it's impossible to pick them up again."

Cui Wei couldn't help but follow along, the arrow looked clean just now, but in the end it just fell into the bushes and missed its original target.In fact, if it is a woman from an ordinary family, it is not easy just to draw the longbow and shoot the arrow.But, why is his elder sister a woman from an ordinary family?

Cui Wei turned his head and looked at Cui Qiao's face. Although she was still smiling, Cui Wei felt a little lonely inexplicably.

The Cui family is no different from those aristocratic families in the court, they have never had too many rules and concerns in raising their children. Although Cui Qiao is a daughter, she has practiced martial arts since childhood like other children in the family, and she has all the skills of riding and shooting.Cui Wei's mother, Hu Shi, came from a famous family. When she first married into Cui's house, she was quite critical of this. She felt that her daughter's family should not be so public, but Cui Wei's father, Cui Jun, didn't care. Since Cui Qiao likes it, let her go, but since she has chosen this path, she can no longer be arrogant and weak just because she is her daughter's family.

Cui Qiao was a person who would never admit defeat. From then on, he studied martial arts every day and never slack off in the slightest. When he was a teenager, he followed his father to the army to practice. At that time, everyone in the army, Everyone, including the young Cui Wei, thought that Cui Qiao would become a general capable of conquering and fighting like all the Cui family members, even if she was a woman.

Unexpectedly, a few years later, Cui Qiao actually married into the palace and became the master of the harem in one fell swoop.

The palace walls are deep, completely isolating her from her past life, and those swords, guns, swords, halberds, and arrows that she used to deal with all day are rarely seen again.Unknowingly, ten years passed in a flash, and when she was mentioned again, she was just the enviable and jealous Empress of the Central Palace. No one remembered the high-spirited Miss Cui's back then.

In fact, even to this day, Cui Wei still doesn't understand why the eldest sister suddenly married into the palace. At that time, he was young, and no one would answer if he asked, and today, he doesn't want to ask again.

Because he knows his elder sister best, since she made this decision, she has her reasons.

And it's been too many years, and it doesn't make much sense to bring up some things.No matter what the reason was for that day, his elder sister always gave up something to make this decision.Even after ten years, the things that were discarded will still cause some waves in my heart when I think about them again, right?

Cui Wei blinked, and said to Cui Qiao: "Sister, if she wants to, she can definitely pick it up." Speaking of this, he turned back and took the bow off his back, "Even if Sister is inconvenient now and can't pick it up for a while, And I'm still here."

Cui Wei quickly set the arrow and drew the bow, his palm-sized face was still young, but his eyes were extremely firm: "No matter what sister wants, I will achieve it."

After the words fell, the arrow flew out, flying into the bushes with the sound of the wind, Cui Wei drew his bow and urged his horse forward, leaned slightly, and returned to Cui Qiao with a fat rabbit in his hand.

Cui Qiao glanced at his hand, and couldn't help but be amazed, this little thing actually took his life from Cui Wei's hand. Although he was injured, he still had enough energy.

Cui Wei couldn't help but look down, sniffled his nose, and said in a low voice, "I've been busy dealing with military affairs these days, neglected to practice riding and archery, and have fallen back. I can't even handle a rabbit."

Cui Qiao looked towards Cui Wei's face, the other party had been looking down at the rabbit in his hand, but the roots of his ears were already faintly red.The child was not good at lying, but he still thought of such a way to comfort himself.Cui Qiao frowned, stretched out his hand and gently pinched Cui Wei's face: "You and I are really siblings, if Dad finds out, I'm afraid he will punish us to practice in this paddock until dark."

After saying that, she raised her eyes again and saw the prey that Cui Wei was hanging on just now, and couldn't help laughing: "However, although Ah Wei occasionally misses, today's harvest is still quite a lot."

Cui Wei glanced back, and hurriedly explained: "I didn't hunt these, but King Rui..."

"Huh?" Cui Qiao was stunned, "So you went hunting with King Rui just now?" She rolled her eyes, as if she was thinking, "I thought King Rui was too lazy to attend such occasions. But just now I I always wondered if you would be bored by yourself, and it would be nice to have someone as a companion."

"He really doesn't seem to want to participate," Cui Wei tilted his head, his eyes a little confused, remembering Yan Jing's words just now, "King Rui seems to be a bit strange. Among them, he is an embarrassing and useless waste material, but I have been in contact with him a few times, and I don’t think that’s the case. At least when he was just hunting, there was nothing wrong with his posture, movement or strength. If you practice hard , may not be able to hit every shot."

Cui Qiao raised his hand to touch his abdomen, and smiled softly: "I don't have much contact with this person, King Rui, so I really don't know much about him. But when do you count the evaluations of these people in the court?" .They find King Rui embarrassing, or maybe it's just because King Rui wants them to feel that way."

"Huh?" Cui Wei was taken aback, unable to understand the deep meaning of Cui Qiao's words.

Cui Qiao smiled and shook his head lightly: "It's nothing, just talking casually. However, no matter what King Rui is thinking, there is nothing wrong with his conduct. In the future, if you are both in the northwest, if you want to make friends with him, you can Don't have too many scruples."

Cui Wei thought about Cui Qiao's words carefully, and finally shook his head: "It's better not to."

"Well, why?"

"That His Royal Highness King Rui..." Cui Wei frowned slightly, "I can't say enough about him."

Cui Qiao was stunned for a moment, then laughed, and then took the rabbit in his hand with the other hand: "It's lucky that this little thing survived from your hands, so let's keep it. Call someone over later Look at the wound, it will be raised in Zhaoyang Palace from now on, and looking at it can relieve boredom when you are idle."

"This was given to me by Awei, so naturally I have to keep it by my side and watch it every day." As she spoke, she tapped the rabbit with her finger, then raised her head to look into Cui Wei's shining eyes, "Our Awei grows up When I grow up, I can protect my sister."
