Cui Xingzhi is two years younger than Zhou Gu, and he is the most brilliant person in the younger generation of the Cui family.

If nothing happens, Cui Xingzhi deserves to be the next patriarch.

But now, Cui Gong said that he would send Cui Xingzhi to Nanchu to seek refuge in Zhou Gu, and Cui Xingzhi also agreed to this decision. It's unbelievable.

One of the patriarchs of the clan stammered, "This is not a joke, the current situation in Nanchu will not be said for the time being, but in the end, it is a small subject country, even if the princess can fight the Nangong family and repel the conspiracy of the Great Wei, but in the end it is also a small country......"

Cui Gong sighed, "Uncle Sheng, your vision can't be too narrow, today's Nanchu is a small subject country, yes, but who knows the future?" He paused, "Of course, I'm also gambling, the current situation in Nanchu is indeed not optimistic, the two hundred secret guards I gave to Zhou Gu are only more than ten people left in the fight, and this situation is indeed unknown in the future." That's why I said it's a gamble, if you don't want to, don't force it, it's just my family's decision. ”

"What do you decide to do? Do you want to send it away? "Uncle Sheng is in a hurry.

"In addition to Xingzhi, there is also Jing Cheng, and there are also several juniors of the Cui family who are expected to have a future." Cui Gongdao: "Uncle Sheng, the Cui family has been self-styled for too long, and the old protector and the prince of the East Palace and the prince of Qin are all willing to take care of it, why can't my Cui family give up one of them?" ”

Uncle Sheng choked.

Cui Gong looked at everyone: "Although this matter is urgent, but it is not a time without consideration, everyone will go back tonight, they will carefully consider it, tomorrow at noon, the line will set off, before he sets off, you make a decision." Those who are willing to follow, they will follow the line, and those who are not willing will continue as always. ”

Everyone, you look at me, I look at you, when it comes to this, everyone has their own thoughts in their hearts, thinking that they should think about it, and they all nodded silently.

After the elders left, Cui Xingzhi was surrounded by juniors, some who were a few years older than him, and some who were a few years younger than him, including Cui Jingcheng mentioned by Cui Gong.

Cui Jingcheng is the same age as Cui Xingzhi, quite talented, and has been compared with Cui Xingzhi by the elders, what is rare is that he does not look down on Cui Xingzhi, and he is not jealous.

After everyone gossiped around Cui Xingzhi for a while, Cui Jingcheng looked at Cui Xingzhi's expression and said, "Okay, how could you agree to go to Nanchu?" Obviously, we said that we would end up together and let Cui's regain its glory. ”

Cui Xingzhi replied seriously, "Jingcheng, what my grandfather said makes sense, my grandfather failed to turn the tide on the Cui family, my grandfather and the elders in the clan spent their lives, but they also failed to reverse the decline of the Cui family, we can only see that the Cui family is going downhill day by day, our younger generation has the ambition of the bird, and also has the heart of upward, but today's prince, not the family, it can be seen from this year's scientific expedition that the talents needed by the imperial court are half of the talents. But there are many talents. You and I, after three years, will not be able to guarantee that we will do better than my grandfather and the elders in the clan in the future. In that case, why not take a different path? ”

"But Nanchu doesn't have half of our Cui family's foundation." Cui Jingcheng said.

"That's the truth, but the princess and her cousin have only just been to Nanchu, and they have no foundation either." Cui Xingzhi said: "I heard that before leaving Daliang, Wang Nu took in several talented and capable people. Zhang Ping's sister-in-law Zhang Mao, the third son Zhang Yun, the second son of the Marquis of Nanping, Ning Ze, the eighteen-village Jiang Zhu, and the most surprising thing is Qin Ruo, the former concubine of the imperial history who was exiled to the bitter cold land. ”

Cui Jingcheng was surprised, "I vaguely heard that Zhang Ping died violently, Zhang Mao and Zhang Yun took refuge in the prince of Southern Chu, and the eighteen villages also took refuge in the imperial court, and the youngest and most talented master of the ten villages, Jiang Zhu, took refuge in the prince of Southern Chu, among these people, only Ning Ze, the second son of the Marquis of Nanping, was not famous, and he was called a waste before, not as good as Ning Chi, the prince of the Marquis of Nanping, but how could Qin Ruo also be taken away by her from the bitter cold land?" I don't know. ”

"I also heard what my grandfather said, not many people know about Qin Ruo's affairs, it is said that the princess specially asked the prince of the East Palace for the person, the prince gave permission, and the princess personally went to the bitter cold land, took the person away, and for him, placed his family to no longer suffer." Cui Xingzhi: "I want to go to Nanchu, one is to help my cousin, and the other is to fight again for our surname Cui." ”

Cui Jingcheng nodded when he heard this, "Then I ......"

Cui Xingzhi looked at him, "Jing Cheng, you stay!" You are different from me, your uncle is the only son, but my father still has children, and after I left, my parents and grandparents were filial to me, and there were brothers and brothers. Besides, it is indeed unknown what will happen to Nan Chu in the future, and the reason why my grandfather did not act arbitrarily and let the elders of the clan discuss and decide this matter together is just a gamble. Maybe I'm going here, the future is bright, and maybe I'm going, it's possible if I don't go back. ”

Cui Jingcheng was silent, "It's so dangerous......"

"Wealth is in danger." Cui Xingzhi patted him on the shoulder, "I'm going, maybe I can change the downhill path that our Cui clan is walking day by day, if not, there are still you." ”

Cui Jingcheng nodded, "That's it!" Then you should be more careful of my secret guard, and give you some to take away. ”

Cui Xingzhi shook his head, "Grandfather has his own arrangements for me, keep your people, after I leave, the burden on your body will be much heavier, after all, the roots of the Cui family are here." You have a lot of places to use people, so don't worry too much about me. ”

Cui Jingcheng sighed, "Okay! ”

After the two finished speaking, a young man in his teens, with a sword on his waist, pulled away the people surrounding Cui Xingzhi, squeezed in, and said to him with a raised face: "Brother Xingzhi, I'll go with you." ”

"Yan Jin, you are also the only son in the family, and the fourth cousin and aunt agree?" Cui Xingzhi asked.

"They agreed, I just ran back to tell them, and they said let me be." Cui Yanjin said happily.

Cui Xingzhi was silent, "Uncle Sitang and Aunt Sitang agreed so quickly? You're not fooling me? ”

"No, I don't believe you." Cui Yanjin said: "My father said, anyway, I don't know how to learn, it's a big deal that I die, and he and my mother will have another one." ”

Cui Xingzhi: "......"

Although he had long known that the fourth uncle and the fourth aunt were out of tune, and raising children was like playing, he was also stunned by these words.

He looked at his little cousin and felt that he had such parents, he really didn't know whether to envy him or pity him, he could only nod, "Okay, since the fourth cousin and the fourth aunt agree, I will take you, but since you go with me, you must listen to me." ”

Cui Yanjin nodded happily, "Okay, I will definitely listen to you, and I will also listen to Cousin Zhou Gu." ”
