Chang'an is good

Yuan Xiang was born in Cui Jing's personal guard, and Cui Jing has the right to make arrangements.

The reason why Yuan Xiang has been with Cui Jing for so many years and has been reused is naturally not because of his close enough words.

To put it in Cui Jing's heart, Yuan Xiang has always had two heads, one is the head of the Huichun Pavilion, and the other is the head of the battlefield.

When not in war, dogs tend to ignore them when they see them, but when they are on the battlefield, their advantages are particularly conspicuous.

Chang Sui Ningzi has also seen this point, she has always loved talents, and in her dreams, she wants to bring talented people from all over the world into her bowl. Faced with the help of such good generals, it would be a lie to say that she is not tempted.

But out of the most basic principle of being a human being, she still hesitated: "But at this time, the south of the Yangtze River is even more dangerous than the northern border. If you stay, there will be no swords and guns on the battlefield. I can't guarantee that I will return you to Chief Cui without any damage in the future."

Beidi was just about to move, and there was a possibility of suppressing it, but Xu Zhengye's fangs and claws were all over the place he could see.

"Because of this, the governor knows that Mrs. Chang is employing people at this time, so she will let her subordinates come here! That is to say, the governor is now shouldering the heavy responsibility of building border defenses, and he really can't leave him... If not, he will definitely come here to help Mrs. Chang and General Chang!"

At this point, Yuan Xiang's expression became more determined: "Don't worry, Mrs. Chang, on the battlefield, life and death are fate, and everyone who marches and fights knows it all too well. If Mrs. Chang is not at ease, I can write a life and death statement to show my voluntary heart!"

Chang Suining was surprised for a moment: "That's not necessary."

Yuan Xiang's eyes lit up: "Then Mrs. Chang agreed to let her subordinates stay?"

Chang Suining smiled, and no longer refused, nodded from the heart: "I will trouble you more in the future."

Yuan Xiang: "This is the luck of my subordinates!"

Xi'er on the side looked at Yuan Xiang's mouth that was almost grinning behind her ears, and finally realized - she said that the other party must have a plan for being so polite and enthusiastic, so it turned out that he had made preparations to work with her in advance!

As soon as he won the title, Yuan Xiang couldn't wait to discuss an errand with Chang Suining.

Chang Suining looked at his dusty appearance, and felt that donkeys were not so capable.

So he said: "You have been busy for many days before arriving in the camp, go and rest first. These days, you are going around checking Li Yiyu's party, and you need to reorganize the army later, so there is no rush to arrange the errands."

Yuan Xiang complied and left the camp happily.

On the way, I just met Changji.

Seeing Yuan Xiang's expression, Chang Ji subconsciously frowned—did this man pick up money?

Yuan Xiang also saw him, and immediately puffed up his chest even higher, almost looking at him with his nostrils.

Changji was furious when he saw it, and couldn't help stabbing him: "Why, you are in a hurry to ask for a reward from Mrs. Chang?"

Yuan Xiang was not angry when he heard the words, but laughed "hey": "How do you know that Mrs. Chang agreed to let me stay and work?"

"...?" Changji frowned, and then became annoyed.

Too bad, I accidentally fell into the trick the other party wanted to show off!
Not to be outdone, he let out a "huh" and said with a sneer, "What am I talking about, I sold myself into slavery."

Yuan Xiang was still not angry, and grinned even wider: "What about selling yourself as a slave, you want to sell it, can you sell it?"

Saying that, he turned his face away, hummed a little song and walked away briskly.

"..." Changji stayed where he was, his face turned green.

Not long after, he returned to Wei Shuyi's tent and couldn't help talking about it.

"You mean... Mrs. Chang asked Yuan Xiang to stay?" Wei Shuyi paused and looked up at Chang Ji.

"That's right, that Cui Yuanxiang's proud tail is going to go up to the sky!"

Seeing that Changji was angry, Wei Shuyi came back to his senses, and smiled: "Why, you also want to stay and compete with him?"

Afterwards, before Chang Ji could reply, he continued to write the official document, and said in a slow voice, "But Mrs. Chang doesn't accept everyone, you and I should not take it upon ourselves."

She can accept Yuanxiang, which shows her trust in Cui Jing, even acceptance.

"?" Changji's eyes widened when he heard the words, and after a while, his defenses were completely broken.

So, is he really inferior to Cui Yuanxiang?

Although Wei Shuyi didn't look up, he seemed to be able to see the expression of his subordinates, and casually said a word of relief: "You can't blame you for this matter, who makes your husband not as good as Cui Ling'an."

He was joking to himself, writing every word, but much more slowly.

Yuan Xiang, who was writing a letter, was different. He was writing furiously, with all the excitement in his pen - he wanted to tell the governor quickly the happy news!
The degree of confidentiality of Yuan Xiang's words is not only reflected in his mouth, but also in writing.

He wrote until late at night before handing over the letter to his subordinates who were about to drive back to the northern border.

But after thinking about it, I feel that there is still a lack of icing on the cake...

The next day, Yuan Xiang reported to Chang Suining early.

Chang Suining was on the martial arts field, teaching Lady Shepherd's Purse, A Che and others how to ride and shoot. In the morning light, the horseshoes raised waves of smoke and dust.

Yuan Xiang obediently waited at the side, and waited until Chang Suining got off the horse, then hurried forward, snatched the job of leading the horse from Xi'er, smiling attentively.

The two exchanged a few words, seeing that Chang Suining was not busy, Yuan Xiang lowered his voice and asked, "Miss Chang, can I take a moment to talk?"

Chang Suining nodded and left the crowd with him before asking, "What's wrong?"

Yuan Xiang's expression was cautious: "It's like this... This subordinate accidentally misplaced and lost some discarded letters when sorting out some discarded letters for the governor. I wonder if Mrs. Chang has seen them?"

This ah.

Chang Suining nodded: "Yes."

And read it word for word.

Yuan Xiang immediately covered his mouth and looked panicked: "This..."

Chang Suining didn't take it seriously, and turned on the kettle to drink water.

Yuan Xiang continued his turmoil by himself: "...this is all due to a subordinate's mistake in handling affairs, and the governor doesn't know about it yet!"

"I know." Chang Suining finished drinking the water, wiped the corners of his mouth, and looked at him: "If not, would you still have a chance to stand here?"

Yuan Xiang scratched his head in embarrassment: "It's all my subordinate's carelessness... Can this subordinate dare to ask Mrs. Chang to keep this secret temporarily?"

It's true that he made this request for his own sake, but it was also for the sake of his own governor. Just imagine, if this matter were exposed, he was afraid that the governor would be overwhelmed and he would be ashamed to see Mrs. Chang again.

Chang Suining nodded: "It's easy to say."

Yuan Xiang acted as if he had received an amnesty: "Thank you, Mrs. Chang!"

Chang Suining screwed on the kettle and asked, "Is there anything else?"

Yuan Xiang quickly shook his head: "I don't know if Mrs. Chang has something to tell her subordinates to do?"

"Let's wait until the day after tomorrow. There is something you need to do in person." Chang Suining said, "You might as well follow Vice General Jin and the others to familiarize yourself with the affairs of the camp in these two days."

Yuan Xiang nodded in response, "Okay", and flicked his right wrist.

"What happened to your hand?" Chang Suining noticed and asked, "Are you injured?"

Yuan Xiang shook his head with a smile: "No, I was in a hurry to write a letter to the governor last night, and accidentally wrote a few more letters, I was tired..."

Chang Suining was silent for a moment, now that Xuance's army writes letters, are they all in terms of weight?

But this sentence also reminded her: "Your people are going back to the north?"

"Yes, we are leaving today."

Chang Suining: "Can you wait first? Send me a letter too."

Yuan Xiang nodded hurriedly.

Chang Suining didn't want to delay their departure, so he had to go back to the camp to write a letter.

Speaking of which, she should have written back to him when she received his Yan Ling Jia, but she hurried to Shouzhou that day, and under a series of unexpected situations after that, she didn't take this matter into consideration.

Yuan Xiang was extremely considerate, and said to the girl's back, "Don't worry, Mrs. Chang, please write slowly!"

Write slowly to write more!
But no matter how Chang Suining writes, she is destined to be inferior to Cui Jing. She writes without waste. First, she talks about her own experience and the situation in the south of the Yangtze River, and then briefly explains her future plans, and then she expresses her thanks to him.

Thank him for his good knife, thank him for his good armor, thank him for his good subordinates, and thank him for his kindness.

In fact, according to the agreement between the two, she should give each other a chestnut as a thank-you gift at this moment.

But there are no chestnuts in the Winter Barracks.

Chang Suining thought for a while, then picked up a pen and carefully drew a chestnut on the letter paper.

After admiring the painting for a moment, she nodded her head. As we all know, she is always an excellent painter, and this chestnut made her paint lifelike.

And add a line of small characters below - although this chestnut is not edible, it can last for a long time.

Well, in ancient times, there was a painting of cakes to satisfy one's hunger, but now she is painting chestnuts to express her gratitude...

It seems a bit perfunctory to say it at first, but Cui Jing must know the sincerity of her writing.

She has said it before, every chestnut represents her gratitude, if he encounters difficulties in the future, if he shows his chestnuts, she will try her best to help.

Of course, she hoped for the day when he didn't use chestnuts.

At this moment, Xi'er opened the curtain and walked in with a basin of hot water.

During this gap, Chang Suining saw the endless morning sky through the tent door.

She also thought of the sky in the north, which was higher, wider, and lonelier.

The words Yuanxiang said yesterday formed a picture in front of her eyes at this moment. She seemed to see Cui Jing lighting up the lamp to take care of the official business, riding a horse on the snowy field, standing on the tower in the northern border, looking at the Dasheng territory in the distance.

If it wasn't for the noble temperament that the other party was born with to remind her, it would be really hard for her to imagine that such a person is actually a child of the Cui family from Qinghe, and is regarded by the Cui family as the future head of the family.

He should have been like most of the Cui family's children, arrogant and arrogant, with no dust in his eyes, only concerned about the rise and fall of his family.

The Cui family is the head of the world's gentry, and they regard the world's people as humble and common people. They collect books and proclaim themselves, monopolize official careers, and build a god for themselves.

Cui Jing is the one who stepped down from this lofty "God Altar".

Wars are impermanent, life and death are only in the morning and evening, but he left home to join the army at the age of 12, and has been in the army for ten years, with many scars and countless meritorious deeds.

It is generally accepted that the northern border is bitterly cold, and it is almost the end of the new year. Other Cui's children can enjoy the snow and plum blossoms in Beijing, cook wine and play chess, but he went to the northern border alone, worrying about the great prosperity of the frontier defense - and this matter was obtained with great difficulty after he wrote many times.

What kind of person is such a person?
Chang Suining thought carefully.

She thought of the towering mountains in the north, the frozen lake, the feather-like snow, and the setting sun like blood.

At this moment, these indescribable landscapes of mountains and rivers are all closely connected with a person named Cui Jing. He is in it, and what he guards is this mountains and rivers.

She felt that this should be a kind of sincere, cold, magnificent, gorgeous, majestic, moving, and out of the secular sense, boundless romance that only exists in thousands of miles of mountains and rivers.

It just so happens that she has been a human being in the two lives, and her heart is only in these mountains and rivers.

But now, she saw an independent figure holding a sword and wearing armor and leading a horse among the boundless mountains and rivers, resonating with the bell in her heart.

Suddenly, she blinked slowly and lightly, as if she suddenly sensed the words that Wujue had said to her, Wujue said that Cui Jing was the "chancer" who returned from her soul.

Chance and resonance, induction and fate.

She seemed to suddenly understand the sense of traction in the dark.

At this moment, Chang Suining suddenly no longer wonders who Cui Jing is loyal to, she is suddenly very sure that what he is loyal to must be the same as her, only the people of the country.

After a while, she lowered her eyes, picked up the pen, and wrote a few more lines of poems.

【The body is like foam, like a candle and like the wind. 】

[Running around the world, suffering for all worries. 】

...

[Everyone is a guest in a foreign land, and they look at each other like autumn birds. 】

...

[Efforts in the road, thousands of miles from the same wind. 】

The world is so big that the mountains and rivers are far away, but if we work together and converge, we will follow each other thousands of miles away.

……

The ink was air-dried, the letter was folded neatly and put into the envelope, sealed with wax oil, and then embarked on a trip to the north.

……

The news of Li Yi's plot to rebel and put him to death quickly spread throughout the states and districts.

At the same time, the name "Chang Sui Ning" was born out of nowhere.

……

All matters related to Li Yi had been taken care of properly, and it was time for Wei Shuyi to return to Beijing soon.

Chang Suining also asked him to bring letters, and there were many letters, some for Duan Zhenyi, some for Qiao's family, and some for Yao Xia and the others.

The news about her must have reached the capital, and these letters can be regarded as a personal report of safety. After all, when she left Beijing, she was still seeking medical treatment for her brother.

Speaking of this, Wei Shuyi also mentioned: "...Speaking of which, when Mrs. Chang left Beijing, didn't she seek medical treatment for Mr. Chang?"

He wants to return to Beijing to return to his life, and to face the saint in the future, so he naturally needs to have an explanation for this matter.

"I'm looking for a doctor." The girl said calmly, "While walking along the way, I asked about it. I heard that there are many famous doctors in the south of the Yangtze River. After looking for it, I came here. Is it normal?"

Seeking a doctor and looking for a father, there is no conflict between the two, right?
Wei Shuyi nodded approvingly: "That's the reason...Since that's the case, I will report the truth to the Holy Majesty."

Chang Suining nodded, "Thank you."

Wei Shuyi smiled and raised his hand to her: "Miss Chang, take care, Wei will return to Beijing first, waiting for Madam Chang's triumphant return."

Chang Suining also raised his hand: "Be careful on the road."

Looking at each other, the girl's eyes were open and clear, Wei Shuyi nodded to her, and said "Take care" again.

This sound seemed to have a more sincere and simple feeling that was rarely seen in him than the sound just now.

Chang Suining smiled at him: "Don't worry, I will."

Wei Shuyi nodded again before turning to salute Chang Kuo and the others respectively.

After saying goodbye, the young man in the uniform of the imperial envoy got into the carriage.

The team was moving, the wheels were rolling, and the young man sat in the car without looking back.

He took out the letters in his sleeve, and each envelope had her handwriting on it, describing the person who was close to her, and the strokes on the envelope were vigorous and stretched, like a white crane with outstanding strength and soaring freely.

She has many kinds of handwriting, and he has seen most of them. Hezhou first met the confession books left by her, and then Dayun Temple copied scriptures...

But the handwriting at this moment should be the real "her", the one who is no longer bound.

The young man's finger like white jade brushed over the writing on it, with a slight smile in his eyes, he thought to himself: "It seems that now... I am really at ease."

However, where did the "uncomfortable" in the past come from?

Why is her "truly comfortable" place on the battlefield?

He seems to have gained something from this trip, but the income is not yet clear.

Perhaps he should ask his mother.

……

Due to the success of the errand, the way back to Beijing was smoother than when he came here. Six or seven days later, Wei Shuyi and his party arrived in the capital.

It's the end of the new year, and Beijing has begun to look younger.But perhaps because of the war, it was not as lively as in previous years.

However, there are still lively voices everywhere, and most of these frying pan-like lively voices are related to the name "Chang Suining".

4400 words, is it worth adding more?Good night!
