Chapter 180: Meet Cui Yongan Again

The next day, the sky became increasingly darker, and Fuda told us that it was likely to snow heavily soon.

It is difficult to travel in snowy weather. If you want to go to Liangzhou, you must set off immediately.

"I want to go with you."

Mo Xunyan didn't care whether Chen Shiyi agreed or not, and went straight into the carriage.

Bo Yuan rolled up his fur coat, looked at Mo Xunyan, and leaned towards the corner of the carriage.

Mo Xunyan smiled and patted Chen Shiyi's shoulder.

"You are really good. No wonder you have such a beautiful person who is so obedient to you. Why would you bother to look at Wen Zhiheng's old face, which is always uncertain? If it were me, I would not want Wen Zhiheng."

Chen Shiyi chuckled twice, picked up the book in his hand, and stopped talking.

Mo Xunyan tugged at Chen Shiyi's sleeve.

"Stop reading those books. Let's talk. Otherwise, it's really depressing."

Bo Yuan said hurriedly.

"Girl, let me talk to you. The boss is reading the provincial annals here. Besides, the boss doesn't like to be disturbed when she is reading."

Mo Xunyan looked at Bo Yuan and smiled.

"I didn't expect you to be so considerate to your employer."

There was plenty of charcoal fire in the carriage, making it very warm. As it swayed, I heard a few knocks outside.

Chen Shiyi hurriedly lifted the curtain and went out.

"What happened?"

"According to the front, a large number of troops are coming in our direction."

After hearing what Fu Da said, Chen Shiyi frowned.

"This is the first batch of people we have encountered along the way?"

"eighth."

Fu Da continued.

"But there are more people coming this time. Should we change our route?"

Chen Shiyi gazed up at the sky for a moment.

“It’s going to snow.”

"Yes."

"We'll find an inn in a nearby town and prepare for defense in case someone comes with bad intentions."

"OK."

They had just found an inn and had rested for a short while when they heard from their friend from Fuda that a group of people were coming straight towards them and they were afraid that they would have to face a tough battle.

They set up defenses outside the inn, and even Chen Shiyi prepared her bow and arrow.

Mo Xunyan and Bo Yuan hid in her guest room, both with solemn expressions.

Chen Shiyi smiled at them.

"Don't be afraid. Our friends at Fudan University are more than capable of defeating a hundred enemies. We will be fine."

Snowflakes were rustling in the vast sky and earth. From afar, they could see a row of neat and orderly people rushing towards the small inn where they lived.

Chen Shiyi looked out the window and saw a black horse charging towards the group of people, but after a while, it turned back.

Fu Da lifted his feet from the ground, stepped lightly on the haystack beside him, and flew lightly to land in front of Chen Shiyi's window.

"It's the Lan family army."

Chen Shiyi was very confused.

"Lan Family Army?"

Behind him, Mo Xunyan's voice was heard.

"These are the generals who protect the territory of Daye. They are the most admirable army."

Chen Shiyi's eyes were filled with confusion. If they were such a powerful army, why were they chasing after him?

She looked at the hidden food and was deeply troubled.

"Meet them and see what they want."

Fu Da passed the message on, and soon three generals walked in.

The leader was wearing a silver helmet and a feather crown. He had an extraordinary demeanor and sharp wolf-like eyes. When he saw Chen Shiyi, a smile flashed in his eyes.

Chen Shiyi's head exploded.

In just that instant, the past sealed in her memory flashed through her mind like a passing scene.

She lifted her skirt, ran down the stairs, passed through the backyard, the lobby, stepped over the threshold, and ran towards the man.

She stood in front of him, eyes filled with tears of joy, looking him up and down.

"Brother Cui."

The person who came was Cui Yongan, who had not been seen for many years.

After hearing this, Fu Da was even more shocked. No, this is her hometown? How come she knows so many people?

Moreover, this man is also a cavalry general of the Lan family army.

Cui Yongan had never thought that he would meet Eleven here.

The information we inquired about at that time was that it was Chen Dongjia who came from Anzhou. The specific name was not revealed, but we didn't expect it to be Chen Shiyi.

I remember that she used to be a little maid of Wen Zhiheng, but now she has transformed herself into a wealthy businessman.

It turns out that we cannot underestimate this little girl.

She has grown taller, more mature, and more beautiful. The Eleven before was like a hungry child, but now she is a woman with a quiet temperament. The change is quite great.

"Eleven, long time no see."

"Long time no see."

Cui Yongan was not as excited as Chen Shiyi. He looked around and asked hurriedly.

"Do you have anything to eat here?"

Chen Shiyi nodded quickly.

"have."

He turned around and said to the shop owner.

"Shopkeeper, serve the best food and wine. I want to entertain my old friend."

The food on the square table was simple and plain, a big bowl of noodles in clear soup, a large plate of cooked beef, and a jar of good wine.

This is already a very good meal.

After all, in winter, there was a shortage of food and clothing, and this was a barren place.

Cui Yongan was very satisfied. It seemed that he hadn't had a delicious meal for a long time.

Chen Shiyi watched him finish eating and couldn't help but ask.

"Brother Cui, is that enough? I'll ask the store to bring another serving."

Cui Yongan shook his head.

"No, I'm full. Thank you for your hospitality."

He paused and continued.

"Eleven, we know each other well, so I'll get straight to the point. Give me the food you brought. I can use it."

Chen Shiyi lifted the wine glass to his lips, his eyes slightly closed to hide the surprise in them.

She put down her glass and said.

"Brother Cui, what do you want the food for?"

"Of course, it will be used by the military."

"It took a lot of manpower and resources to transport this food here, and I took a lot of risks. I was attacked no less than seven times on the way. I had to make arrangements for each state capital I passed through, so the price of my food was very high."

Cui Yongan smiled.

“It’s natural.”

After saying this, he gestured to the soldiers standing outside.

The soldier came in, took off the package he was carrying, and opened it, revealing a pile of gold and silver jewelry, jade pendants and the like.

Chen Shiyi picked up the gold hairpin and silver jewelry and took a general look at them.

These were all second-hand items worn by women, and the patterns and styles varied greatly. This jade pendant was of high quality, but compared with her food, it was not worth mentioning at all.

Chen Shiyi put the gold and silver back to their original places and smiled at Cui Yongan.

"Brother Cui, how much do you want?"

"All the food you brought."

Chen Shiyi sighed.

"I'm afraid the money you have is far from enough."

Cui Yongan looked embarrassed.

Chen Shiyi asked again.

"The army has its own food and fodder, why do you need to go out and prepare it yourself?"

Cui Yongan sighed heavily.

“It’s hard to put it into words.”

After a while he continued.

"Eleven, to be honest with you, I don't have much money now, but I want all your food."

Chen Shiyi pursed his lips and smiled.

Today, we can talk about old times, but without enough food and money, we can’t continue the conversation.
