Records of the Cattle and Horses of Chang'an

Chapter 424 Business trip

Cui Bianxu's pleasant schedule was interrupted. He frowned slightly, put down his pen, and called someone in: "Why did you write at this time?"

Li Sheng: I know shit!

"Maybe it's the end of the year, so they want to wish each other a happy new year." Li Sheng made what he thought was a reasonable guess.

The first time Cui Bianxu sent people to follow Zhou Chaogui, he sent two people out. One came back to report the news, and the remaining one stayed there to support and observe the situation.

When the second wave of people were sent, ten guards and one Huirong were sent out. When they came back, the unlucky guy was still staying there. This was Li Sheng's decision. They took Liu Manqiang and ran away, so they had to leave someone behind to see what would happen to the Zhao family next and report the news at any time.

Li Sheng said this at this moment because he actually guessed that his brother could not stay in Guazhou anymore and wanted to come back, so he sent a letter to test the waters.

"Happy New Year? I think he wants to come back." Cui Bianxu shared the same idea as him. These guards asked them to go out on missions, and they had nothing to say. Anyway, they could come back after completing the mission.

It is the most difficult thing to stay in one place and see what happens. Who knows how long you will have to stay there?

They have been brothers for many years, and Li Sheng also wanted to fight for him: "Jiulang, if everything is fine over there, why not let him come back after the New Year?"

Cui Bianxu didn't respond. There were still things he didn't know about the Zhao family in Dunhuang that he had to find out. However, he said, "When the New Year comes, you pick two people and go over to exchange him back."

It's okay to take shifts, and two people are better than one person sitting there miserably, at least there's someone to look after you.

Li Sheng agreed immediately. He heard that the war in Guazhou might be a protracted one and it was unknown how long they would have to stay there. He would have to make some arrangements when he returned and his men would have to take turns going.

Cui Bianxu opened the bamboo tube, and inside was a rolled-up piece of paper. When he unfolded it, it said: Three imprisonments, chaos in the Zhao family.

There were only six words in total. Cui Bianxu stared at the note and read it twice before burning it. He pursed his lips and began to ponder in silence.

The Zhao family was in chaos. Why was it in chaos? Was it just because of Liu Manqiang's departure?

The legend of carrier pigeons also takes time. When the letter was written, the Zhao family was in chaos. What about now?

The third branch of the Zhao family was imprisoned? Why?

According to her narration, there was not much intersection between Liu Manqiang and the third branch of the Zhao family.

He quickly went through all the clues related to the Zhao family in his mind, and then quickly caught Wu Sanniang pretending to be Zhao Dieyi and tricked the incomplete ancient book from the third couple.

I just felt that something must have gone wrong.

"Go pack up, pick ten people, and follow me to Guazhou."

In a moment, Cui Bianxu made a decision. Jian Ming, who had taken the initiative to stand guard outside for personal safety, heard the commotion and immediately ran in: "Jiulang, I am willing to go!"

If Jiulang was not at home, wouldn't it be easy for Granny Zheng to deal with him?

Madam will definitely not help him!

Jian Ming thought very clearly that no one at the Jiang family was willing to swap posts with him, and there was no room for him there. It would be better for him to go out and do things with Cui Bianxu than to stay in the mansion!

Cui Bianxu glanced at him and said, "Go pack your things."

Jian Ming, who was scolded, immediately became happy. He turned around and ran to pack his things, fearing that he would be left behind if he was a step late.

This was an urgent mission. It was already the countdown to the New Year, so he had to go and ask Liu Dewei for permission to go on an overseas business trip.

I also need to take some time to go to the Jiang family and talk to Jiang Shangxian.

"Tell my wife once you've made the arrangements, then meet me at the Golden Light Gate."

"Yes."

Cui Bianxu rubbed his face and went straight to Liu's house. Liu Dewei was a little confused about why he wanted to apply for a business trip at this time: "I remember that you also wanted to apply for marriage leave in early February, right?"

Others might go on business trips because they are short of money and want to earn some extra allowance for their trips, but Cui Shi can't possibly be short of this little bit of money.

If I go to Guazhou to investigate the caravan robbery and murder case at this time, wouldn't it delay my marriage?

"If we ride as fast as we can, we should be able to get back by the end of January." Cui Bianxu calculated that a month would probably be enough.

If this matter did not involve the Liu family, he would not have made the trip in person.

"If the road is blocked by heavy snow, it will be difficult to travel." Liu Dewei also started his career as a warrior, so he naturally knew that it would get colder the further northwest he went.

Cui Bianxu was also worried about this, but only when the Zhao family was in chaos would he have the opportunity to find out what the Zhao family was trying to do, so he had to go out this time.

Seeing that he insisted and looked like he was ready to sacrifice his life for the Dali Temple, Liu Dewei approved his leave with a rather complicated expression, signed a note for him to leave the city, and waved his hand to let him go.

I have never seen him so dedicated to his work. I don’t know what he is up to now. He has delayed the good day for his wedding, and I am not the one who is anxious!

Cui Bianxu came out of Liu's house and headed straight for Jiang's house. On the way, he ran into Wang Mingqian, who had just finished his meal and was out on patrol. "What are you doing?"

It's curfew, why are you still running around? I didn't hear there was a case at the Dali Temple today?

"Let's go to the Jiang family. I have to leave the city tonight to investigate a case in Guazhou." Cui Bianxu said what he could say and left in a hurry.

When Wang Mingqian heard that he was going to Guazhou, he frowned at first. What was he going to investigate in such a cold weather?

Then his eyes suddenly lit up. Cui Yi had gone to Guazhou! He had to quickly send someone to the Cui family to propose marriage!

Hold on tight, you must hold on tight!

As long as the marriage can be settled before Cui Bianxu comes back, this guy can't make trouble!

Thinking of this, Wang Mingqian couldn't help but burst into tears. He pulled the reins and ran home.

Is Wang Hui finally going to have a wife?!

Jiangjia

There were several lamps lit in the room, the heater was burning brightly, and a blanket was spread beside the bed.

As the biggest idler in the family, Xiao Jiang was soaking his feet leisurely. His round and plump toes rubbed against each other from time to time, splashing out a few drops of water, which fell on the blanket and quickly disappeared.

Jiang Shangxian was holding a booklet that she had glued together with glue and a charcoal pencil in her hands. She was recording the key points of her next storybook. She couldn't stop telling stories.

She finally discovered that when she was talking about "The Legend of the Condor Heroes", she was treated particularly well.

Zhao Yue and Cui Shuhua, even the maids of the Cui family were so enthusiastic and responsive to her requests. Xiao Jiang was extremely addicted to the feeling of being surrounded and cared for by girls.

If you want to maintain your treatment, you have to keep producing.

Yingzi was stringing yellow wintersweet flowers one by one with needle and thread. The wintersweet flowers in Chang'an City tend to bloom later than those in the south, and they used to start blooming in early January. These were picked by Cui Shuhua and placed in the house to stimulate their growth.

Her aunt was very kind and gave her a lot of flowers and asked her to learn flower arrangement at home.
