Records of the Cattle and Horses of Chang'an

"What do you mean, Mr. Cui?" Displeasure flashed across the guards' faces. The leader's expression also froze, and he also frowned. The hand holding the long sword couldn't help but tighten.

His behavior not only shows that he doesn't take them seriously, but he even doesn't take the prince seriously!

"The Crown Prince asked you to do something, not me. I am the Junior Minister of the Dali Temple. I only need to follow His Majesty's orders. When will it be your turn as a mere guard to order me around?"

Cui Bianxu's words became more and more impolite. His words were no different from saying that the prince was not even the emperor yet and was now pretending to be a big shot.

After he finished speaking, the guards who had been wandering in the mountains for several days and were full of anger were ready to go forward and teach him a lesson.

The head of the guard raised his hand to hold the man down, squinting his eyes at the back of Cui Bianxu's head. Suddenly, he smiled: "Master Cui, always leave a way out. Who can predict what happens in the court? Although Master Cui looks down on us brothers, we have always respected the Qinghe Cui family."

As he spoke, he raised his head slightly and twitched his chin towards the others. The filthy and weak Zhao Ji was pushed out by them and thrown to the ground. "I heard that the third wife of the Cui family is from the Zhao family of Dunhuang. Shaoqing Cui is arrogant and looks down on us brothers, but we have always respected him. Look, this third master of the Zhao family claims to be Shaoqing's great-uncle. We see that he is in trouble, so we have to save him."

Cui Bianxu, who was about to throw the dragon poison out of his arms to do his work, paused and turned to look at Zhao Ji, who was lying on the ground groaning in pain. "Why aren't you dead yet?"

After hearing this, everyone in the room's minds went blank for a moment, and confusion was all on their faces.

No, this is how you younger generations of the Cui family greet your elders, right?

Jiang Shangxian on the roof couldn't help but burst out laughing.

When Zhao Ji was dragged in, she felt that he looked familiar, but her brain was working too much and she couldn't tell who he was at first.

After listening to them, I realized that it was my cheap 'uncle'. I didn't expect Cui Bian's words to be so shocking.

Zhao Ji's face, which was already pale from excessive blood loss, turned blue in an instant, and his teeth chattered involuntarily.

He would reveal his identity to these people just to be prepared for both situations. He was seriously injured and could not get out of the mountain on his own.

Either these people couldn't find Cui Bianxu at all, and finally took him away.

Even if he found him, it wouldn't matter. Cui Bianxu didn't kill him in Guazhou, and he didn't think Cui Bianxu would kill him now.

At least he was his uncle, and he didn't believe that Cui Bianxu would dare to kill his elders!

But he forgot that the injury on his body was caused by Cui Bianxu's new bride!

The guard leader had sharp ears. Although Jiang Shangxian covered his mouth at the first moment, he still heard the chuckle. He felt it was strange at first. Cui Bianxu had brought a lot of people into the mountains. Zhao Ji said that Cui's new bride also went into the mountains with them. But now he was the only one left. He was completely unprepared against these people. It was possible that there was an ambush in secret.

These thoughts flashed through his mind in just a flash, and the next second he raised his hand and threw out a sharp silver hidden weapon.

Jiang Shangxian ducked, her heart pounding. She vowed to put hidden weapon lessons on her schedule when she got back!

Seeing this, Cui Bianxu's eyes showed murderous intent. Before everyone could react, he swung out his right hand, and a cold light flashed. A strange gurgling sound came out of Zhao Ji's mouth. At the same time, a line of blood splashed, and Zhao Ji lost his life in an instant.

The head of the guards had not expected him to be so brutal. Without having time to investigate who was hiding in the dark, his eyes bulged and he shouted sternly, "Cui Yi, how dare you kill an elder in your family! You are unfilial and unbrotherly, and you are unworthy..."

Before he could finish his words, blood suddenly spurted out of his mouth, and then his whole body became limp, and the long sword in his hand slipped away. The same thing happened to the guards behind him. For a moment, the room was full of people lying on the ground with blood spurting from their mouths.

Jiang Shangxian was startled and didn't bother to hide himself. He turned his head and looked at Qiqige: "You did it?"

No, sisters are so awesome?

If something happens, you really have to do it!

Xiao Jiang suddenly felt that he was a bit too stingy with Qi Qi Ge. Even if he hired someone to kill so many people at once, the little gold he gave would not be enough, right?

Qi Qi Ge was completely bewildered, staring and shaking his head violently: "It's not me, I didn't!"

She was lying there watching the show obediently, and all the gourds around her waist were intact!

Cui Bianxu, who was about to take out the dragon poison to kill them all, was also confused by the sudden blood-spraying incident. He jumped away from the main range of the blood spray with a few steps, but his clothes were still stained with some blood.

Soon, the dying guards on the ground and his gaze all fell on the same person - Ruyi.

No, it should be Zhou Ping'an.

Among those present, except for the two people lying down to watch the show, he and Cui Bianxu were the only ones still standing.

"You, you poisoned me!" The head of the guards stared at Zhou Ping'an with murderous intent in his eyes. If he hadn't been in such unbearable pain from the poison that he wanted to roll on the ground, he would have already picked up his knife and chopped the eunuch to pieces!

Zhou Ping'an didn't even spare him a glance. His charming demeanor vanished, replaced by a faint smile. He bowed solemnly to Cui Bianxu again, and then chatted casually, "Mr. Cui, it's been a long time since we've met. I heard you got married a while ago, but due to my status, I didn't come to congratulate you in person. I hope you won't blame me. I've heard that Madam Cui Jiu is gentle and virtuous, especially skilled in cooking. It must be wonderful to see her in person. I wish you and your wife a loving and harmonious marriage."

Cui Bianxu didn't respond to his congratulations. His face was stern at this moment. He glanced at the guards lying on the ground, almost dying. "How are you going to report back after acting like this?"

Zhou Ping'an's smile persisted, his eyes seeming to be looking at Cui Bianxu, yet also as if lost in memories: "Shaoqing, when Hui Niang was born, I was just a little child. My mother passed away shortly after giving birth to her. My father raised my brother and me alone. He had to earn money to support the family, so Hui Niang was always on my back. I was also a child at that time, and I often couldn't take good care of her and would drop her to the ground. Even when I was combing her hair, I would often pull out a few strands. She was very well behaved, and she didn't make a sound even though tears welled up in her eyes from the pain..."

Jiang Shangxian on the roof had already figured out who this person was, and tears instantly welled up in his eyes.

In fact, she could no longer remember what those young ladies with their mouths gagged and hands and feet tied looked like in that dark room.

But those pairs of frightened eyes were as if carved into my mind with a chisel, and I could never forget them.

Cui Bianxu remained silent and said nothing.

Zhou Hui Niang, no, it should be those nine young ladies, who are a hurdle in his heart that he cannot get over.

Officials serve the people and the country.

He didn't do it and felt guilty about it.
