Chapter 299 Reunion

After breakfast, everyone set off for Piaomiao River.

Since Yan Xingchuan was traveling with her, Cui Si didn't need to bring so many people. She asked eight people from Yan Nanxiang to accompany her, and selected another ten people. The rest stayed in Piaomiao City.

She also left her rouge in Piaomiao City.

Yanzhi likes literature and Songlu likes martial arts. After running around for half a month, Songlu is full of energy and feels as good as new after a good sleep. However, Yanzhi, who has never been far away, looks a little listless.

Cui Si simply left her in Piaomiao City to see if there was a chance to buy a couple of shops or farms to add to her assets, and at the same time take care of these guards and assign them some tasks.

Piaomiao City is the capital of Miaozhou, located in the southeastern center of Miaozhou. Once you arrive at Piaomiao City, you are not far from the Piaomiao River. If the carriage goes faster, it will only take three days to arrive.

If we ride faster and travel day and night, we can reach the destination in just one day.

After crossing the Piaomiao River, you will reach Lizhou of the Great Zhou Dynasty. Therefore, Miaozhou is not as stable as Chongshan Pass, and no one dares to bring his family here for reunion like Xu Dazhi did.

Because there was no urgent matter, the team did not move fast. They traveled during the day and found a place to rest at night. Therefore, it was not until the evening of the third day that the carriage arrived at Rong'an Town, a newly built border town on the Piaomiao River.

It would be more appropriate to call Rong'an Town a military camp rather than a town. There are no permanent residents here. There are armies stationed here for training, living, and defense, as well as some civilians recruited to build border defenses.

After all, building border defenses requires manpower, and a lot of it, so conscripting civilians is necessary.

Before the carriage reached the shore, the sound of waves could be heard from afar, crashing against the shore as if it had been going on for thousands of years.

Cui Jing, Cui Yi, Chen Mo and others had received the news long ago and were waiting at the city gate.

"Little sister!"

"Little sister!"

The two brothers of the Cui family have not been home and have not seen their family for more than a year. Now that the brother and sister meet, even someone as calm as Cui Jing is very happy.

Cui Si didn't wait for Song Lu to get off the carriage. She lifted the curtain and was about to get out.

"Third brother! Fifth brother!"

Seeing that she was about to jump off the carriage, Yan Xingchuan, who had just dismounted, quickly reached out to help her down: "Be careful, don't fall."

The two Cui brothers then noticed that Yan Xingchuan was also there, and bowed to him and said, "Greetings, Master."

"No need to be so polite." Yan Xingchuan nodded, then said, "It's windy here, let's go inside and talk."

"Yes, let's go inside." Cui Jing nodded quickly, "A'si, let someone check the carriage and we'll go inside."

Because it was a border garrison area, anyone who sent anything had to be carefully inspected, even Yan Xingchuan was no exception, and Cui Si was naturally no exception.

"Well, okay." In times of war, nothing can be taken lightly. She has seen a lot of investigations like this and has no idea what to do. Although she believes that she will not do anything detrimental to Northern Yan, it is possible that someone may have hidden something in the carriage when she is not paying attention.

Yan Xingchuan and Shen Mo walked aside, while the three siblings Cui Jing, Cui Yi and Cui Si walked together, asking about each other's well-being.

"A'si, has everything been alright on your journey? Why did you suddenly come to Miaozhou? Is your grandmother at home well, and is your uncle doing well?"

"Brother Three and Brother Five, are you doing well here these days?"

Cui Si looked at her two brothers whose skin had become much darker due to tanning, and felt very emotional for a moment. It seemed that they had indeed suffered a lot in the past six months.

Cui Jingdu has lost weight.

"It's all good, everything is fine."

Yan Xingchuan looked at the three siblings, feeling happy and envious. He was happy that she had such close brothers, but also envious and regretful that he also had two older brothers, but unfortunately they were both gone.

After the group entered the town, Chen Mo pulled Yan Xingchuan aside and stopped disturbing the brother and sister's reunion. Seeing that Yan Xingchuan was still looking at him frequently, he stretched out his hand and waved it in front of him.

"do what?"

"I want to ask what the master is doing?" Shen Mo looked around and saw that Cui Si's people had followed her, so he asked Yan Xingchuan, "How are you and Wang Ji doing?"

"What happened?"

"Don't play dumb. You rushed over as soon as you got the news. There must have been some progress along the way, right?"

Yan Xingchuan reached out and patted Chen Mo's shoulder vigorously, then said, "You should just focus on your own affairs. The Cui brothers have been giving you a lot of trouble these days, haven't they?"

"Why are you making things difficult for me?" Chen Mo scoffed. "How is this possible? I'm the Cui family's son-in-law."

"Cui Jing is here."

Shen Mo was startled and turned around abruptly. Seeing that Cui Jing had not come at all, he realized that he had been deceived.

Yan Xingchuan smiled and walked forward. Shen Mo quickly caught up with him and said through gritted teeth, "Master, even if you are unhappy, you can't bully me!"

Yan Xingchuan: "You were the one who brought it up first."

Come on, since we are brothers, let’s hurt each other.

Chen Mo almost rolled his eyes at him: "Okay, okay, considering that you are in a bad mood, I won't bother with you."

There are many newly built houses in Rong'an Town, most of which are local mud brick houses, some covered with tiles, some with tree bark, and some directly with thatch.

Brothers Cui Jing and Cui Yi, as well as other members of the Cui family, were assigned a house and now live together.

The things brought by the carriage were quickly inspected and were delivered to them as soon as they arrived at their residence.

Cui Si took out the things and divided them up. Half of them were for the two Cui brothers, including a few sets of clothes and some supplements and food. The other Cui brothers also prepared two sets of clothes, and even Wu Tu prepared two sets.

"He's alone. Although he's a general now, his subordinates are all soldiers. They're not careful. I've prepared two sets for him. Brother Wu will bring them to him later."

"General Wu is at Fangkou Town upstream. I'll send someone to deliver it to him tomorrow."

Beiyan set up three defense towns along the Piaomiao River, namely Rongsheng, Rong'an and Rongping.

The general guarding Rong'an Town was actually Chen Mo, while the brothers Cui Jing and Cui Yi were in charge of construction work. All three towns were running around, and he became so thin that he had no desire to live.

"It's all fine." Cui Si didn't have any requirements for this. She just had some friendship with him, and seeing that he was alone, she just arranged some for him. It would be best if they could be delivered to Wu Tu.

"The border defense has been stable these days. Is there any invasion from the imperial court?"

"That's not the case." Cui Jing shook his head. "The court has sent General Wen to garrison the west bank of the Piaomiao River. There's been no activity so far. Duke Ping is probably planning to deal with the others before engaging us."

Cui Si frowned: "Then will Duke Ping come in person?"
