Liangzhou is located in the central part of Gansu Province, is the gateway of the Hexi Corridor, the famous "Silk Road" in history and the important town, Hexi Fuyi. It connects the south of the desert and the north and the western regions, and was known as the important place of "connecting the first line in the vast desert and controlling the throat of the five counties" in ancient times, and was once the military and political center and economic and cultural center of the northwest. There is also a famous Hetao Plain in Liangzhou, which is the grain production and farming land in the north, and produces the well-known Liangzhou horses. Moreover, this place is still on the border of Han and Qiang, and the people are fierce and not afraid of death. From time to time, people from the Western Regions came to purchase food and goods, and then from time to time there were various conflicts with the local Han and Qiang people.

To put it bluntly, it is a Guangzhou that has strengthened its chaos by at least a hundred times.

In the past, most of the officials who came here to govern were military generals. Because the place is too chaotic, if there is any unrest, it will be necessary for officials to use force to suppress it. Now such an important place has been given to Cui Pu, a person who has just shown a little military talent, which shows that the imperial court trusts him too much, or does someone want to take the opportunity to give him a little bit of power, so that he can see the real turmoil with his own eyes, and then be frightened and go back to the Central Plains to be a peace officer?

In fact, when he received this resignation, Cui Pu was very excited in his heart.

Finally, he can come into contact with the real army! And it is very likely that he will be able to seize the opportunity to put on his armor and fight on the battlefield! A dream he had in his heart since he was a child is now finally coming true!

It's just that after the excitement and joy, he is more worried.

"Liangzhou is located in the northwest, where there is loess, the wind and sand are very large, and the folk customs are too strong, which is far from the environment here in Guangzhou can be compared. Da Lang Jun and Er Lang Jun, I don't worry, but you have always been in poor health, and the eldest lady and the little lady have been pampered since childhood. Take your mother and daughter with me, I'm afraid you'll suffer too much. ”

Therefore, he still had a little hesitation in his heart.

Mu Jiaojiao said, "You only ask yourself, do you want to go?"

"As far as I could see, I'd definitely like to go. After all, who doesn't want to see the true face of my New Tang Dynasty? And I've heard that the desert in the northwest is desolate, empty and vast, and completely different from the small and graceful in the south. A real man, if he doesn't go to the desert, he doesn't know how broad his mind can be in this world. Da Lang Jun and Erlang Jun I also intend to let them go over to temper it. ”

"In that case, let's go!" Mu Jiaojiao said.

"Huh?" Cui Pu was stunned when he heard this, "But ......"

"Yours is all wishful thinking on your own. Have you asked me, asked the big lady and the little lady what they think?" Mu Jiaojiao said, "Maybe we are also willing!"

"Of course I know you'll be willing to go with me. However, I'm just worried that you will suffer if you go. Cui Pu said.

The delicate wife, the two little ladies who were still young and delicate and soft-looking, just thinking about the three of them being blown to dust by the yellow sand in the northwest, he began to feel distressed.

"What does it matter if you suffer a little? Although my daughter should be pampered, she should not be too arrogant. Moreover, do you think that you can't provide us with a good life with a Liangzhou assassin history?"

Over there, no matter how good life is, it can only be relative. Anyway, compared with Yangzhou and Guangzhou, the standard of living will inevitably drop a lot. Cui Pu said secretly.

However, since Mu Jiaojiao said so, he was still inevitably a little moved.

"Then let's call the big lady and the little lady over and ask!" he thought for a moment and said.

The nurse soon called the big lady and the little lady together.

In a blink of an eye, the eldest lady is ten years old. The little child was slim and slim, and he was wearing a bright red cloak, and he showed his slender stature. Over the years, because of Mama Lu's strict teaching, she stood there quietly like a lotus flower, beautiful and unforgettable. But once he takes action, he faintly reveals a bit of heroism on his body, and his every move is well-behaved but full of power. It's really quiet, like a virgin, moving like a rabbit.

The little lady is only more than a year old, this child has always been dull, slow to react, and what he loves most is to eat. Of course, if her brother and sister come to play with her, she will also be happy not to find the north. Now she is a small ball, wearing a big red cloak exactly like the eldest lady, but her little face like eating dumplings is more and more round and lovely. was led forward by Sister A, and when she reached the threshold, she couldn't raise her calves and cross it, and she was so anxious that tears rolled in her eyes.

Seeing this, the nurse wanted to hug her, but was waved away by the eldest lady. The eldest lady hugged her by herself, and the little lady immediately smiled again: "Sister...... Okay!" said these three words in a milky voice, and she hugged the eldest lady's neck hard, and sent a kiss full of saliva.

The eldest lady hurriedly wiped her face: "How many times have I told you, don't kiss me! Kiss me well, look at it, now my face is full of saliva again!"

The little lady grinned and continued to giggle, not taking her words seriously at all. The eldest lady wiped her face clean, so she was not angry, and continued to take Ah Mei's little hand with a soft face and walked forward.

Looking at the interaction between the two daughters, Cui Pu's eyes softened, and he hurriedly beckoned the two daughters to his side, and hugged them into his arms one left and one right.

The little lady took advantage of the situation and climbed to Cui Pu's knee and sat down. The eldest lady insisted on standing beside Cui Pu like a little adult, and said: "I'm growing up, don't want Daddy to hug me!"

"Well, my eldest lady has indeed grown up, and she is so tall as Daddy's waist. Cui Pu said helplessly.

The eldest lady immediately made a small face: "I'm still growing tall! Wait another two years, and I will be as tall as you!"

"Yes, yes, Daddy is also waiting for this day!" Cui Pu nodded hurriedly.

At first glance, you can tell that he is perfunctory.

The eldest lady snorted unhappily, but immediately smiled brightly at Cui Puyang: "Daddy, I heard that we are going to the northwest this time, is it true?"

Before he could tell her, why did this girl take the initiative to ask about him? And he was so excited that he really felt that his previous worries were in vain.

"Yes. He said, "It's going to Liangzhou." ”

"Wow, that's Dunhuang? I heard that there are a lot of camels in Dunhuang, and there are Mogao Grottoes, and many of the murals in them are very beautiful! Daddy, I'm going to play there! I'm going to ride a camel! Let's hurry up and pack up our things!" The eldest lady's eyes suddenly flashed, and she hurriedly grabbed Cui Pu's hand and jumped and screamed.

I just said that I had grown up, but in a blink of an eye, I began to be cute to him.

And the little lady was so happy to see Sister A, she also smiled and waved her little hand. "Camel!

Seeing that a pair of children are so happy, what else does he have to say?

Cui Pu let out a long sigh: "But I have to say ugly things first." The environment of that place is not even comparable to that of Guangzhou, and you have to be prepared to endure hardships when you get there. ”

"I'm not afraid of hardship, anyway, there is a father and a mother!" said the eldest lady disapprovingly.

The little lady also threw herself into Cui Pu's arms. "Father!"

Cui Pu is now completely speechless.

Why are his daughters so distressing? Originally, he wanted to give them a good talk about the situation in the northwest so that they could think about it. If they really feel that they can't stand it, then he will send them back to Chang'an and hand them over to Mrs. Cui to raise. But now, at the very beginning of the words, the two children had already expressed their endless trust in their parents, and he felt that he did not need to say anything.

What could be more comfortable and happy in this world than being together happily as a family?

However, he still deliberately kept a straight face and said: "It's your own decision. When the time comes, if you feel that you can't endure hardships and cry, I won't indulge you anymore. ”

"Daddy, don't worry! Auntie is so fierce, she won't let me cry! Moreover, she has never indulged me!" The eldest lady nodded with a smile, and stuck out her tongue at Mu Jiaojiao by the way.

The little lady also did the same, and spit out her little pink tongue at Mu Jiaojiao.

In the future, I can't let the little lady follow her anymore. Let's see what she has taught Ah Mei to? The good ones haven't learned, but the bad ones have all been mastered! Mu Jiaojiao shook her head weakly.

However, since the two little ladies were willing to go with them, Mu Jiaojiao was even more noncommittal about this matter, and Cui Pu was completely relieved.

As for Da Lang Jun and Er Lang Jun, then just wait for them to be notified at dinner and it's over.

After this matter was decided, Cui Pu began to order people to pack up their things and prepare to go to the northwest. Guangzhou was the southernmost part of the New Tang Dynasty, while Liangzhou was almost the northernmost point. From the south to the north, it is almost necessary to travel through the entire New Tang Dynasty, and it will take two or three months at the shortest. When you leave after the year, you will not be able to reach your destination until April or May.

Knowing that Cui Pu was promoted and went to such an important place, the officials in Lingnan admired Cui Pu more and more. Even if they knew that he was leaving, they came to visit him in an endless stream, just looking forward to having a good relationship with him now, maybe in the future, Cui Pufei and Huang Tengda can still take advantage of his east wind to fly!

After Pei Jingluo heard the news, he also specially set up a table to invite Cui Pu's family.

"When I go to Liangzhou, the burden on Cui Tingshi's shoulders is even heavier. However, the old man thought that with Cui Tingshi's ability, he would definitely be able to spread his wings and soar in that broader place. Maybe by the time we see each other next time, we'll be equal. The old man is waiting for that day to come!"

He really has confidence in Cui Pu. Later, when he came to Guangzhou, he still came out in the face of many difficulties, and he also firmly trampled all the people who wanted to suppress him under his feet, and also made other people who wanted to see jokes obediently bow down. has already learned so many lessons, no matter how complicated and difficult the situation in Liangzhou is, he firmly believes that with Cui Pu's wisdom and skill, he will definitely open up the situation as soon as possible, and then gain a firm foothold, and then slowly broaden the road, and finally make everyone look at him with admiration.

This young man has this ability!

In the past four years, he has been in contact with Pei Jingluo, and Cui Pu also admires this Lingnan native very much. After Pei Jingluo's words, he was very excited: "With your auspicious words, I also hope that I can show my strength somewhere." ”

He's not modest.

However, he doesn't need to be modest, he has proven countless times that he is such a high-profile person! He also has capital and a high profile!

Pei Jingluo laughed and hurriedly raised his glass to persuade him to drink.

After pushing the cup and changing the cup several times, the two sides drank very happily. After eating, Pei Jingluo personally sent Cui Pu out, and when he arrived at the door of the hanging flowers, he suddenly asked: "By the way, the environment in Liangzhou is not good, will the king of Hejian County go with you?"

As soon as these words came out, Cui Pu's face sank.

"Not anymore. He said coldly.

Pei Jing was slightly stunned. Why did he look at Cui Pu's face and dislike this person very much? Obviously, he was not like this the last time they met.

It's just that Cui Pu obviously didn't plan to say more about this matter, so he hurriedly said goodbye, and led his wife and children to go home.

At the same time, at the entrance of the palace of the king of Hejian County.

After loading everything into the carriage, the king of Hejian also helped Liang Changshi's hand into the carriage.

After sitting down in the carriage, the king of Hejian closed his eyes: "Let's go!"

"The king of the county, did you really not inform Cui Tingshi of them? and the eldest lady......

"No need, let's go!" said the King of Hejian lightly.

Liang Changshi had no choice but to put down the curtain, so he waved his hand: "Let's go!"

This time, they are going back to Chang'an for the New Year.
