Sitting cross-legged on the couch with his upper body naked, Cui Jing, who had just applied medicine to the wound on his back, looked at his subordinates who were kneeling down in a room.
"Grand Commander, from now on, just be bold and set up your own business!"
Yuan Xiang took the lead and said, "You will set up a new family and a new genealogy. When you compile the genealogy, please invite a few great scholars to write the preface. You will be the first page of the genealogy and be the true head of the family!"
Looking at his subordinates, Cui Jing was silent for a moment and asked, "...As the leader of this clan, who do I manage?"
Do you take care of yourself?
"Take care of the subordinates!" Yuan Xiang patted his chest loudly, looked around, and said, "The subordinates have discussed it. When you open the family tree, please add our names to it!"
Deputy General Yu nodded: "We are willing to follow the surname of the Grand Commander!"
"That's right!" A young Xuan Ce soldier said, "It doesn't matter if you don't want to get married. We will help you have children when the time comes!"
Deputy General Yu turned his head and glanced at him: ... The Grand Commander doesn't want to get married now? But what he said was true, and Deputy General Yu assured confidently: "Yes, the Grand Commander will leave the matter of branching out to us. Within three to five years, we will guarantee that our family tree will add a hundred pages!"
There are at least fifty or sixty of them, and a family can have at most two children. Wouldn’t the hundred-page family tree have given birth to the Grand Commander?
Faced with such a "heavy" feeling, Cui Jing felt very complicated. He subconsciously asked: "...So, in the family tree, how should I address you?"
At this point, Deputy General Yu smiled shyly and said, "If you don't mind, Grand Commander, you can adopt us as your sons!"
"..." Cui Jing's facial expression tensed slightly: "If I remember correctly, you are still seven or eight years older than me."
Deputy General Yu immediately said, "I don't mind!"
The Grand Commander was like his adopted father, so it was okay for him to call him his adoptive father in the family tree! Yuan Xiang and others also followed suit and expressed their opinions.
The doctor who was cutting the wound cloth with scissors on the side widened his eyes when he heard this. Isn't this nonsense? How could the Grand Commander Cui agree to such a ridiculous proposal? However, it's hard to say... What if the Cui family is hurt and wants to recruit more adopted sons to make things more lively? Thinking of this possibility, the doctor let out a light "hiss" and quickly put down the scissors. In his heart, he made a decision that went against his ancestors.
Although he is fifty this year, he looks only forty-five because he has taken good care of himself...
He was a little old, but since Commander Cui wanted to pursue excitement, why not carry it through to the end? The doctor quickly fixed his hair, managed his facial expression, held the cut wound cloth, came to Cui Jing's side, coughed twice, and took the opportunity to show his face and make his presence felt.
Hearing the cough, Cui Jing turned around and saw the doctor's reserved yet respectful smile.
"..." When Cui Jing saw that wrinkled face and realized that the other party also wanted to take care of him in his old age and see him to the end of his life, he felt that he would be able to rest in peace in the next moment.
A group of subordinates were still expressing their determination. Cui Jing interrupted them with a confused look on his face: "No need."
"Grand Commander, we are all willing and do not care about those worldly eyes!"
Cui Jing: “…I care.”
He was totally unprepared to be a godfather to so many people.
After hearing his own commander-in-chief's repeated refusal, Yuan Xiang said sincerely with red eyes: "...our subordinates naturally know that no matter what, no one dares to use the expulsion of the clan to oppress and look down on you. You don't need to rely on the clan! The subordinates made this suggestion only because they don't want you to feel lonely and uncomfortable in your heart..."
Cui Jing: "Thank you... I'm not feeling bad."
It’s also good to be “empty” like this.
Seeing that their Grand Commander really had no interest in this matter, Yuan Xiang and others did not want to force them to be his adopted sons. Or rather, the focus of this matter was not originally about being adopted sons. They just wanted the Grand Commander to know that they would always be his family, and that the Grand Commander was not alone in the past, present, and future.
Seeing everyone standing up, Doctor Cao wanted to push them back. Alas, young people nowadays are not very good. They lack perseverance in doing things. Why don’t they try to hold on a little longer?
Fortunately, Doctor Cao figured it out quickly. Although the path to becoming an adopted son failed, it should still be possible to show some kindness to General Cui. You know, when a noble is sad, it is most suitable for people like him who want to curry favor with him... no, it is for people like him who are ambitious to take advantage of the situation.
"I will bandage the wound for the Grand Commander. It may be a little painful, please bear with it..."
Cui Jing nodded: "Thank you."
Doctor Cao bandaged Cui Jing's wound with extra care, and from time to time he uttered words of praise:
"General Cui is really strong..."
"You have so many battle wounds on your body, all of which are testimony to your achievements."
"Look at your figure, your bones, your muscles. It is truly a beauty rarely seen in the world..."
“……” Cui Jing decided to remember this person and replace him with someone who is less talkative to exchange the medicine next time.
When the bandage was completed, Doctor Cao did not forget to tie a beautiful and delicate bow. Fortunately, the knot was tied on the side of the waist, so Cui Jing did not take a close look at it for the time being.
At this moment, a soldier came in from outside and said that General Ning Yuan came to inquire about the injury of the Grand Commander.
Chang Suining came back with Cui Jing. She estimated the time and thought that his wound should have been treated and bandaged, so she came over to ask.
Cui Jing hurriedly said, "Bring me the robe."
Yuan Xiang agreed, took out a clean and comfortable wide-sleeved robe and held it in front of his own Grand Commander, but then he hugged it in his arms and suggested: "Grand Commander...why don't you wear it first?"
Cui Jing looked at him.
Yuan Xiang hinted wildly: "Since you are injured, why don't you let Madam Chang take a look at it..."
Dai Changshi once said that the stronger a man is, the more he should know how to play the victim appropriately! "Yes, Grand Commander, why don't you just lie down!" Deputy General Yu also came up with an idea. Wouldn't lying down look more miserable than sitting?
"I have a suggestion!" Doctor Cao quickly turned sideways and gestured, "How about you lie on your side and support yourself with your hand like this..."
With this, wouldn’t the shape and texture of the upper body be fully revealed?
Since we have already used the self-torture strategy, why not add the beauty trap as well?
Yes, he admitted that lying on his side might hurt his back, but it would pass quickly if he endured it. Would it be not worth it if he could show it off in front of his sweetheart, even if he endured a little bit of hardship?
It is no exaggeration to say that if he had such a coveted figure, he would do nothing but think about how to let others see him! If there was someone around him who didn't know that he had such a perfect figure, he would not be able to sleep!
"..." Cui Jing found it hard to believe that such words could be said by a senior medical practitioner.
It is gratifying that he was not treated as a patient. What is frustrating is that he was not treated as a human being.
He extended his hand to Yuanxiang: "Give it to me."
Facing the young man's eyes that held no room for negotiation, Yuan Xiang hesitated to speak, and in the end he did not dare to say more. Hesitantly handed over the robe, and halfway through, he came to his senses and said: "You are injured, let me help you put it on."
Yuan Xiang carefully dressed his Grand Commander, and at the end, he secretly loosened the collar a little. Seeing his Grand Commander's gaze sweeping over him, Yuan Xiang raised his face and smiled foolishly, trying not to look guilty and said, "Your wound has just been medicated, so don't dress too tightly..."
Chang Suining walked in quickly.
The soldiers raised their hands to salute her, shouting "General Ningyuan" one after another.
Chang Suining nodded to them, walked straight towards Cui Jing, and asked Doctor Cao about the injury.
"Fortunately, no vital parts were injured, but he still needs to recuperate for at least a month..." Doctor Cao described the injury in detail and concluded: "Fortunately, he was only whipped thirty times. If he had been whipped any more, his muscles and bones would have been injured. It would be hard to say what would happen then..."
Deputy General Yu immediately responded: "Fortunately, General Ning Yuan arrived in time!"
Yuan Xiang was about to speak up, but his own Grand Commander-in-Chief drove him away in front of him: "Everyone, leave."
It was clearly him who was expelled from the clan today, but these subordinates of his showed a more abnormal mental state than him, which gave him a sense of uncertainty and insecurity. He really could not predict what shocking words would come out of these people's mouths the next moment.
Yuanxiang and others had no choice but to retreat.
"You heard it, right? Fortunately, I got there in time." Chang Suining stood four or five steps away from Cui Jing, folding his arms and looking at the young man sitting cross-legged on the couch. He felt that he looked very different from the past.
He was wearing a loose indigo robe with wide sleeves. Compared with his neatly tied hair in the past, his jet-black hair was temporarily half-tied up on top of his head with a jade hairpin, and the ends of his hair hung down casually. The sunlight from the window behind him shone on his shoulders, whose robes were slightly loose, making him look quite relaxed and youthful.
"I heard you." Perhaps because he was a little weak, his voice was also relaxed, "I will remember your life-saving grace in my heart."
"It's not like I saved your life." Chang Suining looked at him and asked, "So why did you stay and be punished?"
He is certainly not someone who would obey the clan's rules, otherwise there would be no Cui Lingan today.
"Since we have to end it, the handling of this matter must be convincing enough." Cui Jing said: "If I don't want to accept the punishment and leave, Cui's rules must be followed to send people to stop me. Once both sides start fighting, there will inevitably be casualties."
This matter was destined not to end lightly, otherwise Cui would be suspected of putting on a show.
Furthermore, he was willing to kneel down and accept the punishment at that time, but what he was kneeling was not the Cui family's patriarchal law, but the order of the head of the family representing his grandfather.
No matter how contrary he is to the Cui family's way of survival, he is a product of the Cui family after all. His body was given by the Cui family. What he learned since childhood was taught by the Cui family. The Cui family once cultivated him as the future head of the family, imprisoned him, but also gave him wings.
Especially his grandfather, he felt he owed him something.
Even if he receives this punishment today, it is only right.
Chang Suining understood his feelings, or rather, she could empathize with him. It has always been the case that if one cuts off the relationship with a relative, the victim will be skinned and torn apart.
But Cui Jing's situation was still different from hers, so she consoled him: "It's not necessarily a bad thing at this time."
Cui Jing nodded, he understood everything.
At this moment, looking at the girl in green robe standing with her arms folded and her black ponytail hanging down behind her head, he asked, "What is the second choice?"
Before she handed him the sword, she said, giving him two choices, either to stand up and leave with her, or -
"Just stay and get beaten up." Chang Suining said as a matter of course.
Before Cui Jing could reply, she took two steps forward and sat down casually in the chair in front of the couch. She said, "I was kidding. I was thinking, either you get up and leave with me, or I knock you out and take you away."
Cui Jing curled the corners of her mouth. This was indeed something she could do.
He said: "In this case, I should be thankful that I was sensible enough to avoid being knocked unconscious."
Chang Suining tilted his chin up and nodded: "Yes, that's right."
She was wearing a gauze robe embroidered with flowing clouds over her robe today. The color was soft and bright, and with her whole temperament, she really looked like a noble and extraordinary young man.
She rushed back this time and only had time to drink a cup of tea.
When she put down the teacup, she heard Cui Jing ask: "So, can you reconsider me now?"
Chang Suining looked over and met the face of a young man who looked extremely serious.
His voice was low and full of sincerity: "Now that I have nothing to worry about, it is the right time for me to go with Your Highness."
Chang Suining looked into those deep eyes quietly. He was wounded, and his face looked paler, which made his eyebrows and eyelashes look even darker. The warm sun from the window behind him shone on him, making him look pious and persistent.
Chang Suining suddenly thought of a lot of things.
At first, when they were still unfamiliar with each other, he gave her a copper talisman to protect her. At the Hibiscus Banquet, he, who never wanted to get involved with others, took the initiative to help her out. In the Heavenly Maiden Tower, she was not honest with him, but he secretly helped her break the formation. And when they killed Xu Zhengye that day, he knew her plan and what she needed, and never tried to compete with her.
There are so many things like this.
He was firm and measured, and he stood with her every time.
As for those things that happened long ago, Wu Jue said that he looked for jade for her to cast the statue, and Lao Chang said that he did everything he could to take over and preserve the Xuan Ce Army.
He took good care of her sword, her horse, and her Adian.
He was already walking towards her long before she "came".
The two looked at each other, Cui Jing's eyes were clear and firm.
He could also sense that there seemed to be a pull of fate in this, but every decision was made by him. All this was not pushed forward by fate, but was what his heart desired.
He traveled all the way, crossing the river of life and death. At first he didn't know where the end would be until he met her again.
At this moment, Chang Suining stood up and walked towards him.
"Since you have nothing to worry about, and I happen to be alone." She extended her hand: "Why don't we go together?"
Cui Jing also raised his hand, and the two hands clasped together and clasped sideways, as if to sign an alliance.
The emerald green bamboo forest outside the window swayed, making a rustling sound, and a breeze blew into the eyes of the two.
After a while, Chang Suining let go of his hand and said with a smile: "To be honest, I should thank the Cui family this time."
Thanks to the Cui family for "not wanting" him, he could belong to her.
Before, he said he wanted to go with her, and she claimed that she would consider it, and that was her concern. But after a natural disaster and a man-made disaster, her concerns disappeared in the blink of an eye.
Good night!!
