Chen Xiang is a fierce general of the Chu State, and he is a good hand at fighting, but his methods are cruel, not only have he killed the surrendered army, but sometimes he has killed the common people.

Zhong Ruying was angry that he often killed civilians in the Chu-Liang conflict, and used this to discredit the Chu State many times, and every time he encountered General Chen's army, there would be a big battle.

How much do literati look down on Chen Xiang, let alone those celebrities?

Chen Xiang once killed people when he failed to subdue, and the impact was extremely bad, and Emperor Chu belittled him for this, but he did know how to fight, and within a few years, he accumulated military merits and returned to his original position.

This man has a violent temper, and if the brothers and sisters have a conflict with their words, they are afraid that they will really kill people.

Xiang Min didn't care that Cui Ling might have other calculations, and hurriedly asked, "Then what do you mean?" ”

"Write to Senior Brother and ask him not to have a hard time with Chen Xiang, if it really doesn't work, just follow the other party's orders first." Cui Ling said: "Anyway, even if the senior brother is an official in the Chu State, he will serve in Jiangling first, for the sake of the people of Jiangling Mansion, so that he doesn't mind in his heart." ”

Xiang Min looked at him suspiciously, "You will be so good?" Isn't that recruiting talents for my Chu State? ”

Cui Ling rolled his eyes and said, "You think I'm willing?" If it weren't for Chen Xiang in Jiangling, I would have wished that Senior Brother would be far away from you Chu people. However, in the face of the safety of the elder brothers, everything else is temporarily suspended. ”

Xiang Min was a little ashamed, "I'm narrow-minded, but why don't you write a letter in person, you have to let me write it?" ”

"I don't have to write it," Cui Ling rolled up his sleeves and said: "I can write, but I want to borrow your seal in the end, no way, who makes Chen Xiang suspicious, in case he sees that it is the people of the Liang Cui clan who call them senior brothers and they obey him, he probably thinks that we want to ask the spies." I'm afraid that he will cut down the senior brothers in a fit of rage. ”

Xiang Min hurriedly held down the paper and said, "I'll write it myself." ”

Stamp his seal, isn't that his letter in Chen Xiang's eyes?

But Senior Brother, they knew at a glance that it was Cui Ling's words, who knew if they would make a code word or something?

Xiang Min knew that he was not as good as Cui Ling and others in terms of these talents, so he coaxed people out very self-consciously, so as not to be influenced by him when choosing words and sentences, and write down something he didn't know.

Xiang Min closed the door and wrote the letter himself.

waited until he finished writing to show Cui Ling, Cui Ling didn't ask him to change it, nodded and said, "That's it, can I attach a letter?" ”

Xiang Min glanced at him and refused, "No." ”

"What can we talk about now, do you want to be so defensive of me?"

Xiang Min snorted: "It is only a matter of time before the two countries go to war, and I have to take precautions early in the competition for talents." ”

"You have the ability to take your brothers and sisters to the state of Chu."

Xiang Min choked and pursed his lips: "I would like to, but Mr. has already left something to say, and they will not go to Chu State where they go now." ”

After Mr. Ji was brought to the Chu State, he immediately contacted Yao Shi and the others, asking them not to go to the Chu State easily.

It is implied that if they come, they may become his weakness.

If Emperor Chu treated Mr. Ji with courtesy, these students might consider following Mr. Ji against his master's orders, but the recent reviews are not good, not to mention Cui Ling and others, even Xiang Min did not dare to encourage his brothers and sisters to go to Chu State, for fear that he would not be able to come back if he went, where would he cry when the time came?

Xiang Min kept sighing.

However, he didn't dare to take his brothers with him now, but he wanted to try his best to win them over, and when His Majesty changed his attitude, the Xiang family got a promise from His Majesty that he would take them back.

So of course he would try his best to isolate Cui Ling's contact with them.

Cui Ling still couldn't put the letter in the end, so he could only watch with regret as Xiang Min sent the letter away.

As soon as the letter left, the conflict between the two came to an end temporarily, and Xiang Min and his brothers seemed to put their arms on his shoulders and asked, "Go to the reading building?" ”

Cui Ling took his hand, "I'm going to the other courtyard, you can go by yourself." ”

Xiang Min frowned and asked, "Your brother hasn't covered the coffin yet?" ”

"The second uncle of my clan is coming soon, and we have to wait for him to arrive."

Fortunately, the weather is cold now, and if it is summer, it will be so difficult, and the corpses will stink.

Xiang Min touched his chin and asked, "When my father came here in person, could it be that he suspected that your brother's death was not simple?" ”

Cui Ling nodded and sighed: "Even I have doubts, it's too sudden." "It's not easy, but he can't say.

Xiang Min looked at him like a fool, "Then you are still so good?" ”

Cui Ling was stunned and said with a serious face: "What do you say, I'm very sad, okay?" ”

Xiang Min rolled his eyes, "Are you stupid, don't forget, you are also in Suzhou now." ”

Cui Ling hadn't turned the corner yet, and nodded ignorantly: "Yes, I'm in Suzhou." ”

"So you're one of the suspects."

Cui Ling's face sank, "What nonsense, we don't have a contradiction, what should I do to harm him?" ”

Xiang Min snorted: "As long as there is a relationship, there will be contradictions, what if someone thinks that you are jealous of your brother, so you kill the killer?" ”

Cui Ling looked at him silently, and Xiang Min said: "Don't think there won't be such speculation, let me tell you, there are many such people." When I was a child, my second uncle bought fun things from outside and came back to my cousin, and when my cousin showed off to me, my second aunt always looked like she was guarding me, as if I couldn't help but rush up and grab my cousin's toys at any time. And you're a brother......"

Xiang Minle said: "Although I haven't seen him, I haven't heard of him. We are far away in Jiangling, but as long as Cui Jiazi is mentioned as your brother's name, obviously you are not bad among your brothers, but even Senior Brother Du is famous all over the world, but you are not famous, why? ”

Why?

First, because the eldest brother didn't let him be too public, he had to be low-key and calm; The second is that his fame seems to be suppressed, and he is okay in Gangneung, but he doesn't hear about him as soon as he comes out of Gangneung.

In the same literary meeting that the brothers and sisters attended, he won the third place, but the articles that came to Daliang's side would definitely go to him.

He had doubts before, but the eldest brother told him not to worry about it, just concentrate on his studies, and come back later.

Xiang Min saw him pondering, so he said in a low voice: "That's why I said you have to be careful, I'm afraid that as soon as your second uncle comes, the first person to suspect will be you." Because skepticism starts with the people you know best. ”

Cui Ling's brows furrowed fiercely.

"So don't go too often to the other courtyard, just go once every other day," Xiang Min pulled him and said, "Come with me to the reading building, I found a good thing in it yesterday, you would never imagine that Lord Lin would put that thing in the reading building." ”

"What's that?"

Xiang Min smiled and lowered his voice: "The construction drawings of the Qingjiang Dam." ”

Cui Ling was taken aback, "Where did you find it?" Could it be misplaced? ”

"What a mistake, that row is full of books on arithmetic, geology, physics and the like, the drawings are sandwiched in a wooden box like a thick fingernail, and next to it are miscellaneous books on water conservancy construction."

If his second uncle hadn't written to him to find more books on water conservancy engineering and copy them back, he wouldn't have found out.

He decided to draw down the picture and bring it back to his second uncle.

Cui Ling was even more silent, he felt that Cui Liang's matter must not be known to the second uncle, otherwise the fight between the Cui Lin family would be a big loss to Da Liang.

Cui Ling temporarily decided not to go to the other courtyard, and followed Xiang Min to the second floor of the Reading Building, he quietly pulled Cui Ling to a corner and took out the thin wooden box, and opened it for Cui Ling to see.

Lin Wen appeared behind them with a smile, and said with a smile: "The two sons have good eyesight, and they can actually find this baby." ”

This voice suddenly appeared, which frightened Cui Ling and Xiang Min almost weak.

The two of them turned around, lowered their voices and said, "Mr. Lin, don't you have a sound when you walk?" ”

"It's forbidden to make noises in the reading room, so I've developed the skill of walking without making a sound."

Xiang Min looked sad.

The smile on Lin Wen's face deepened, and he glanced at the drawings in their hands and laughed in a low voice: "You can copy it, but you are not allowed to get dirty, and you are not allowed to take it out without permission. ”

Xiang Min and Cui Ling nodded again and again, saying that they would definitely keep it.

Lin Wen limped away on tiptoe.

Xiang Min looked at him with admiration, he was lame and could walk without making a sound, which was really amazing.

Cui Ling pushed him and motioned for him to hurry back to his senses and do something.

The two of them took pen and ink, found a remote place and sat down to copy the picture.

The two brothers cooperated a lot, one drew half of it, and the cooperation was seamless, and if you don't look carefully, you can't see that it was copied by the two.

The two of them were busy for a day and a half to finish the picture, because they had been concentrating for a long time, their eyes were sore and sore, so they put away their things and prepared to go back to rest.

As a result, when he returned to the gate of the Lin Mansion, a subordinate rushed out and said: "Mr. Cui, someone from the Cui family's courtyard said that your second uncle had arrived and wanted to ask you to talk, and the little one was about to go to the reading building to find you, but who knew that you would come back." ”

Cui Ling didn't care about the pain in his eyes, and hurriedly turned around and said, "Then I'll go to the other courtyard first, Senior Brother Xiang, you can go back first." ”

Xiang Min handed over the contents of the basket to his subordinates, followed behind him and said, "I'll go with you, don't worry, I won't bother you, just meet Cui Erbo, and give your brother a pillar of incense and wait for you on the side." ”

Knowing that he was not worried about him, Cui Ling was moved in his heart, thought about it and said: "It's okay, I may not have seen my second uncle for many years, so I may not have much to say." ”

He is really not familiar with Cui Jie, he is okay when he was a child, he can meet once in a while, since he went to Gangneung at the age of twelve, it has been difficult to see each other, and he visited when he went home to visit relatives halfway, but the relationship is not deep.

So when it comes to closeness, Cui Jie is not as good as his brothers.

After all, they have been together for many years.

When Cui Ling ran to the other courtyard, there was a cry inside, and as soon as he entered, he saw a middle-aged man with gray hair stroking the coffin and crying bitterly, He Xiu and Wuyang and other noble sons were standing aside with their heads down, wiping their tears from time to time.

Cui Ling hurriedly stepped forward and saluted, "Nephew to see the second uncle, the second uncle, you mourn and change." ”
