And as the identities of the selected clansmen were repeated one by one, the two clansmen who spoke also realized the strangeness in the process of this review, looked at each other, and one said: "Rokuro is ...... this"

I didn't pick this one?

It must be known that among the 29 people, although there are young people and middle-aged people who seem to be old enough to bluff people, the only difference between them is only the difference between "small waste" and "big waste......

These people are all recognized as useless in the clan, or they are not useful in their brains, or they are useless in their temperament......

And the Cui family is not a place that specializes in waste, and it is not an easy task to gather these twenty-nine people at the same time, none of them are useless, or by chance, they are all useless...... That must have been done on purpose by Rokuro?!

Rokuro: What is this?

After leaving Qinghe and going on the road, the clan elder once bitterly denounced Liulang as a giant rat who entered the rice tank...... When this big rat left, he didn't even forget to clean up the mouse feces in the rice bowl and take it away?

If it were normal, it would have been an unprecedented purification......

Rokuro knows how to minimize losses for the clan......

And from another point of view, how can Rokuro's move not be a kind of good use of people?

It looks like a random order, but it's not random at all...... Behind this is clearly out of the ultimate understanding of each ethnic group.

After a moment of eerily silence in the carriage, some clansmen said worriedly: "Liulang Mo is not...... Not planning to come back? ”

The more I thought about it, the more I felt that Rokuro's move was simply resolute-

A kind of decision called "aiming to eat the food of Fan Yang's army and vowing not to sacrifice a plan with Fan Yang's army......

After all, these people brought by Rokuro are really useless except for being very good at eating.

Rokuro chose to bring a group of such people over, which really gave people the feeling that there was no way back.

"No, Rokuro must come back safely." Clan veteran.

The boy who chose to push himself out to protect his people didn't know his true weight now.

"After arriving in Taiyuan, immediately send a message to the Jingshi and inform the head of the family of this matter......" The clan elder said again: "No matter what, it is necessary to bring Liulang back to the clan safely." ”

Several clansmen responded and urged the team to hurry up again.

They all knew very well that what Liulang used to deter Fan Yangjun was actually a half-truth. The truth is that Taiyuan will indeed send troops to meet them, if the Taiyuan defenders are only waiting a hundred miles away from Taiyuan, and cannot continue to leave Taiyuan further.

Therefore, they had to shorten the distance between them and the Taiyuan defenders as soon as possible before Duan Shiang found out about it.

There should still be a hundred miles away from the place where the Taiyuan defenders are waiting, and they are many of them are hurrying slowly, so they must be fast and fast at this time.

The fact is that after listening to Cui Lang's proposal, Duan Shiang still sent people to the direction of Taiyuan to investigate the authenticity.

When it was getting dark, the men sent by Duan Shiang returned to follow Duan Shiang's team.

"General, there are indeed Taiyuan defenders in front to meet the Cui clan, but those defenders are only waiting a hundred miles away from Taiyuan City, and they have never planned to continue to the east, so they only ordered less than a hundred soldiers to go west to investigate the situation of the Cui clan......"

Hearing the news that his subordinates had brought back, Duan Shiang looked in the direction of Cui Lang's carriage, and a sense of anger in his heart was born.

Cui Lang is indeed not lying, but the meaning of his words clearly exaggerates the truth...... made him mistakenly think that the Taiyuan defenders were coming, and did not dare to rashly use force against the Cui clan.

If you chase it now, it's naturally too late.

And he can't go to the same thing for this reason.

Duan Shiang swallowed this anger, wrote down this account, drove the horse in the dark, and shouted in a deep voice: "Speed up!" ”

Duan Shiang had been waiting for news from the rear, and the team had been moving slowly, but at this time, the horses suddenly accelerated, and Cui Lang and the others in the carriage shook for a while.

But Cui Lang breathed a sigh of relief: "Uncle, they must have already met with the Taiyuan defenders......"

Including Cui Lang, this carriage was crowded with a total of six Cui clansmen, and at this time, a fifteen or sixteen-year-old boy couldn't help asking: "Sixth brother, at that time, we were only a hundred miles away from the place where the Taiyuan defenders were waiting...... Since they are helping in the front, why does the sixth brother take the initiative to hostage? ”

"You're stupid." Cui Lang rolled his eyes: "What did you not see at that time?" That Duan Shiang is obviously a ruthless character who doesn't see rabbits and doesn't scatter eagles, if it really fights, even if we ask people to ask the Taiyuan defenders for help, the Taiyuan defenders are willing to take the risk to come, but before that, there must be many casualties in the clan, you can't even kill chickens, maybe the first one to die in vain is you! ”

The boy shrunk his neck.

"Besides, how can we easily ask for help from the defenders of Taiyuan." Cui Lang's voice lowered: "It's already an adventure for them to leave Taiyuan for a hundred miles, at such a juncture, isn't the safety of Taiyuan more important than ours?" ”

"And once they use swords with the Fan Yang army, Taiyuan and Bingzhou will be involved in this war and dispute."

Cui Lang said: "They are willing to open the gate of Taiyuan City to accept my Cui clansmen, all because of the eldest brother's explanation. And the eldest brother is now in the north, busy with the war, it is not easy...... We are only taken care of by the eldest brother, but we have never helped the eldest brother for anything, how can we drag the eldest brother and the state so carelessly? ”

After a moment of silence in the car, a young man said seriously: "Rokuro is reasonable...... Rokuro's move today is to take advantage of the suspicion of the general to minimize the loss, which is really a good policy, there is no doubt about it. ”

The young man said, looking at the young man left and right: "It's just...... Why did Rokuro bring the Ryūtsu and Shoufan and the others? ”

With all due respect, the remaining twenty-nine people brought by Rokuro are simply useless except for him.

"Naturally, it's because you ......" Cui Lang said this, and when he met the cousin's puzzled and self-conscious eyes, he coughed lightly and changed his words: "Naturally, it's because they are all waste." ”

In fact, his cousin Cui Chen is not much better, this cousin's brain is not stupid, he has three points of intelligence, but the bad thing is that he has a very confident mind, and when the two are offset, he often owes seven points of brain.

A teenager was aggrieved and dissatisfied: "Sixth brother, what do you mean by this......"

"What's the hurry, I didn't say I'm not." Cui Lang sighed: "I'm also a waste, everyone." ”

Cui Chen patted Cui Lang on the shoulder: "Liulang doesn't have to be so arrogant, you can think of such a good way to deal with it, and choose to take me with you, it is already wise." ”

Cui Lang smiled reluctantly at his cousin, nodded, and then looked at the others and explained: "Think about it, we are not of much use on weekdays, even if the clan chooses to give us up, it won't be too painful-"

If you choose some excellent belts, won't that affect the choice of the clan?

"And after this incident, the foolish things we did in the past can be written off in the clan." Cui Lang continued to comfort everyone: "Isn't it a matter of blood to exchange our thirty people for the safety of the clan?" ”

"Earned is earned......," said a teenager, his voice choked up, "but I'm afraid...... Sixth brother, I listen to the meaning of your words, can we just wait for death? ”

"The word death is at your fingertips, so why wait." A middle-aged man in a long shirt leaning against the corner in a decadent manner sat up slightly straighter, and took out a dagger from his sleeve: "I might as well wait for it to end immediately, and save the clan embarrassment." ”

Seeing him pull out his dagger, several teenagers in the car hugged each other in fright.

Cui Lang hurriedly said, "...... Uncle, don't be in such a hurry! ”

"There is still a nephew here, why does my uncle talk about death?" Cui Chen twisted his eyebrows: "Uncle can't trust his nephew?" ”

"......" looked at his nephew's confident and responsible eyes, and the middle-aged man silently looked away a little and did not speak.

Cui Lang took the opportunity to put away the dagger for him and reassured: "Uncle, let's take a step at a time." ”

"In this case, when you need your uncle to do it, just say it." As the middle-aged man spoke, he leaned back into the corner and nested again.

Cui Lang nodded: "Okay uncle, you rest first." ”

His uncle was also one of the outstanding sons of the clan when he was young, but when he was twenty years old, he fell in love with a commoner girl and insisted on divorce and remarry, and the Cui family could not allow such a ridiculous thing to happen.

The girl was also a vigorous love brain, and then committed suicide by throwing herself into the river.

From then on, his uncle's mental state was not very good, he was depressed and decadent, his family was in a mess, and his only hobby was to persuade others—if anyone was troubled, he would persuade him to die rather than to live.

The encounter in the past two days has made everyone very tired, and no one in the car has gradually stopped talking, only his cousin Cui Chen is still working tirelessly to make a wise appearance, thinking hard about how to get out.

Cui Lang pushed the window and looked at the deep night.

After a moment, he reached for the letter in the placket of his shirt with a slightly regretful expression.

Since Fan Yangjun approached Xingzhou, he has been in a hurry, and he hasn't had time to reply to Qiao Xiaoniang's last letter...... She won't see a reply for a long time, so she will worry about him, right?

She is in Jiangdu, and she may hear about him from others in the future, and if she knows what he is doing today, will she feel that he is responsible? Do you think he's a bit of a man?

Such a he, he should be worthy of her a little, right?

Thinking like this, Cui Lang couldn't help but smile "hey".

After a few moments, he whispered, "I don't want to die......"

He hadn't replied to the girl he liked, and he hadn't had time to tell her that he wanted to marry her.

Cui Lang looked at Jiangdu from afar, the night was dark and he couldn't see his five fingers, he couldn't see anything, but his eyes were full of brilliance.

In Chongyang in September, after a rain, Jiangdu added two points of coldness.

September 15 is the day when the medical hall of Wuer Hospital is closed, and many students will choose to sleep well, but Qiao Yumian has no intention of sleeping, and the sky has not yet fully brightened, so she got up from the bed.

After dressing, washing, and combing her hair, it was already dark, and when Qiao Yumian was about to go out, a scholar who was in charge of receiving and distributing letters from teachers and students in the medical hall ran over and said that there was her letter today.

When Qiao Yumian thanked him, he hurriedly took the letter, looked at the handwriting on the envelope, but lowered his shoulders in a lost way.

It's a letter from Daddy.

Naturally, she didn't want to see the letter from home, but recently she wanted to see a reply from the north.

Qiao Yumian walked out of the Wuji Courtyard, and after getting into the carriage, he opened the letter and read it.

At first, when they learned that Qiao Yumian had gone to Yuezhou, Qiao's family couldn't sleep day and night. But for Qiao Yumian to choose to follow Chang Sui Ning to Jiangdu later, Qiao Saijiu was very supportive.

But Qiao Yumian has never been away from home for such a long time since she was a child, and Qiao's family will inevitably miss it, and they will send a letter to their family almost every half month.

This time, Qiao Xijiu still cared about his daughter's situation in Wueryuan in the letter, and also said some things at home, and finally said: [Everything is fine for father, mother and brother, no need to worry. 】

I specially added another sentence: [Ah Wu is good, the autumn fat is very good, and he is getting fatter day by day. 】

Seeing this last sentence, Qiao Yumian pursed her lips and smiled, and her mood eased slightly.

However, she also misses Ah Wu a little.

The carriage stopped at the back door of the Assassin's Mansion, Qiao Yumian got out of the carriage and knocked on the door, and the guard guarding the door recognized her and hurriedly invited people in.

When Qiao Yumian passed by the back garden, Ah Dian saw her and waved at her.

Qiao Yumian walked over with a smile and saluted in turn: "General A Dian, Master Xuanyangzi, Master Xuanjingzi......"

Wu Jie, who had just finished his morning exercise, smiled and nodded to Qiao Yumian.

Like the previous two times, Qiao Yumian couldn't help but look at the Taoist in front of her twice, and the strange sense of familiarity became more and more profound, especially when the other party and Ah Dian were standing together......

There is another thing that seems a little strange...... This Master Xuanyangzi, why didn't he speak?

Qiao Yumian thought about it carefully, in the three meetings, she had never heard the other party's voice, and the other party did not look like she was suffering from a dumb disease.

Seeing the little girl staring at her, she grinned.

This smile made Qiao Yumian stunned, and her expression was sudden for a moment.

Or because Fang had been thinking about Ah Wu in her heart, she seemed to understand a little bit of where that familiarity came from at this moment...... This Master Xuanyangzi is like her family's Ah Wujing!

But the same and the same master was born very similar...... So, why didn't she feel that Master Xuanyangzi was similar to Master Wuji before?

Qiao Yumian carefully discerned and pondered, and soon had an answer—probably because Master Wuji had no hair, and this Master Xuanyangzi had a gray and dense bun......

And if you don't look at it......

Thinking of this and trying to do it in her heart, Qiao Yumian's eyes widened slightly, and Wu Ji couldn't help but laugh "haha" anymore.

Hearing this laughter and seeing this demeanor, Qiao Yumian was shocked: "You are ...... without a "

Because he was afraid that the master of "Xuanjingzi" was also there, Qiao Yumian could not hold back his words, but the shock on his face became more and more intense.

"It's me, it's me!" Wuji smiled and said, "I'm waiting to see when your girl will recognize me!" ”

The heavenly mirror, who was meditating on the stone, also laughed.

When Qiao Yumian saw this, he knew that he could say it clearly, so he dared to express his surprise: "Master Wuji...... So you're alive! (End of chapter)
