Chapter 18 The Cat and the Giant Kun
After a moment, Wei Shuyi said, "It's probably because he is born with a rebellious nature."
After saying that, he felt it was not enough and shook his head, "No, this is clearly a person growing out of a rebellious bone."
Chang Suining: “…”
How "rebellious" must he be to deserve such a description? Wei Shuyi sighed, "He would rather betray the Cui family and be scolded by his family than go to the battlefield to fight for his life. Others join the army to fight on the battlefield, either for survival or for fame and fortune, or for more righteousness, to serve the court, but he doesn't need these at all... What else can he be but a rebel?"
Maybe not? Chang Suining raised his head slightly and looked at the bright moon in the night sky.
She didn't know what kind of person Cui Jing was, or why he joined the ranks of military generals on the battlefield, but in the eyes of some people, the land under their feet, no matter what grows on it, is worth protecting with their lives.
Only when you stand on the land and look up at the moon of your hometown, can you see the bright moon.
Seeing that she remained silent, Uncle Wei turned his head slightly to look over.
The girl, still wearing her boyish ponytail, tilted her face slightly upwards, her fair face covered with the faint moonlight, giving it a hazy glow.
There was no expression on her face. It was a kind of quietness from the inside out, so quiet that people could not detect the slightest thought or emotional fluctuation in her. It was so quiet that people felt that only mystery was left, but there was no way to explore it.
Wei Shuyi narrowed his eyes slightly, and then looked at the bright moon.
In such an indescribable silence, he seemed to have walked a path he had never walked before.
After watching Chang Suining return to the courtyard, Wei Shuyi said this to himself with a thoughtful look in his eyes: "...It seems like I have never walked such a road before."
"But this is your first time here, and you have never walked this road before." Changji was realistic.
"..." Wei Shuyi pretended not to hear.
"My dear, how do you plan to repay Madam Chang for saving your life?" Changji followed and asked curiously.
Today at the stream, Madam Chang saved her husband twice, and he saw it with her own eyes - although it still seems incredible when he thinks back on it, Madam Chang clearly has no skills or strength, but it seems like she has an extra eye compared to others, and can always see the danger in the dark one step ahead.
"Mrs. Chang is unwilling to acknowledge the life-saving grace." Wei Shuyi walked with his hands behind his back, and said casually, "Instead, she taught me how to be a good person."
"Is there anyone in this world who can teach you, my lord..." Changji muttered as he thought of the great scholars who were driven away by him in the past.
Wei Shuyi laughed and sighed vaguely, "Yes."
After a moment, Fang regained consciousness and asked, "Have you delivered the things to Zhao Fu?"
"I have sent it over on my husband's orders. Zhao Fu will not dare to close his eyes tonight."
Under Wei Shuyi's arrangement, Zhao Fu had been secretly escorted here a day earlier.
What was sent to Zhao Fu was the severed head of the substitute on the prison car.
As for where the substitute came from, it was someone Zhao Fu's old acquaintance, the head of Zhoujia Village who was about the same age as him.
It is not known whether Zhao Fu dared to close his eyes that night facing the head of an old acquaintance, but after seeing Chang Suining, who was very happy, he indeed slept well.
The next morning, after breakfast, she went to Changkuo.
"Please wait a moment, my dear. Commander Cui is discussing matters with the general in the study." The speaker was Chu Xing, the deputy general beside Chang Kuo.
Chang Suining recognized him, but in her memory, Chu Xing was still in his early thirties.
More than ten years have made this person more sharp and reserved, like an old sword hidden in its sheath, solemn and heavy.
Chu Xing has been with Chang Kuo all year round. He is both his subordinate and his confidant. He naturally knows Chang Suining, but since they are outside, he calls her "My dear" and his tone can be described as relatively gentle: "My dear, please go sit in the hall and have some tea first."
Drinking tea alone is boring, Chang Suining is not someone who can sit still easily: "It's okay, I'll just wait in the yard."
"Then please take a walk, sir." Chu Xing subconsciously looked towards the yard while speaking - although... there was nothing to walk around.
The yard in the post house was naturally not big. Apart from the soldiers guarding it, there were only the weapon racks used by General Chen Zao and his men for martial arts practice.
This is obviously not something that a timid and delicate little girl would like...right?
Chu Xing had just finished speaking in his mind when he saw Chang Suining walking towards the weapon rack, so he temporarily stopped talking.
Seeing Chang Suining raising her hand to touch the bows, crossbows, scimitars and other weapons on the weapon rack, Chu Xing was about to speak out to remind her to be careful, but he saw that the girl had withdrawn her hand and walked towards a big knife that was stuck upright in the ground.
That is Chang Kuo's knife.
It was obviously after morning practice, and he casually stuck it into the martial arts training ground paved with extremely hard gravel that had been stepped on.
This is easy to insert, but it is not simple.
This sword is broad and sharp, with a thick back. Excluding the blade ring, it weighs 136 pounds. It was made specifically for Chang Kuo by a skilled craftsman ordered by the general who founded the Xuan Ce Army. The sword is named Zhan Xiu.
Chang Suining's thoughts suddenly became distant. She raised her hand to touch the handle of the knife and slowly grasped it.
The boy looked calm, holding the knife calmly.
Chu Xing was stunned and felt as if he was having an illusion, as if the "young man" was going to draw the big knife in the next moment.
——Wait, she really pulled it out! Chu Xing's breath was choked when he saw her move.
——The sword did not move at all.
Chu Xing let out a breath of relief and instantly returned to reality.
What on earth was he fantasizing about just now?
"Zhanxiu" is the general's sword. Not to mention the delicate little girl, there are only a handful of people in the army who can lift it with one hand.
But the "young man" did not give up. He used his other hand as well, and used both hands to draw the sword. He gritted his teeth, and his fair face turned red due to the effort.
Chu Xing gradually became amused.
Cui Jing, who had walked out of the study, turned around as if investigating something and saw this scene.
The thin "boy" tried hard to draw his sword, but the sword remained motionless like a mountain.
It is more likely that the knife pulled her up than that she drew the knife.
In Cui Jing's eyes, the situation was like a one-month-old kitten facing a giant Kun.
When the "cat" was so tired that its fur was about to explode, it seemed to finally realize its own weight. It shook its red hands, put them on its waist, and helplessly looked at the big knife that left it helpless.
"My dear, this knife is so heavy, we can't lift it even if we work together." Ah Che took out his kitchen knife with understanding: "My dear, use this!"
Looking at the kitchen knife handed to him, Chang Suining was silent for a moment.
"No need." She looked back at the 'Zhanxiu' standing there and said, "I will pick it up sooner or later."
The voice was neither light nor heavy, but it was full of confidence.
Suddenly, a hearty laugh sounded: "Good, good, you have ambition!"
Chang Kuo came out and clapped his hands, looking like he was trying to make a child happy.
Hearing the tone of coaxing a child, Chang Suining, who was standing under the weapon rack with his hands on his hips, looked at him helplessly.
When I turned around, I suddenly met a pair of deep and cold eyes.
Governor: Look, the cat and the big Kun! Ning Ning (calm and akimbo version): I am the big fish. (After all, Ah Li is the big carp (End of this chapter)
