Chapter 79 That is her father
Knowing that Chang Kuo asked this question out of concern, Cui Jing also said calmly: "Cui Jing has found what he wants in his life, so he has no plans to marry."
Chang Kuo was stunned when he heard this.
Have you found your dream? But you don't plan to get married? "What do you mean by your dream?"
If it was a girl, even if she was not from a noble family, if he wanted to marry her, given his rebellious nature, Cui would probably not be able to stop him.
If it's not a girl, then it can only be...? Chang Kuo's expression trembled, and he sat up straighter unconsciously.
Cui Jing: "Only the Xuan Ce Army and the swords and halberds in my hands - that's where my heart is, and where I will defend. That's all."
“…” Chang Kuo came back to his senses and reflected on himself.
It's his narrow-mindedness.
"You care about the Xuan Ce Army and the stability of Da Sheng, which is of course correct." Chang Kuo sighed, "But it's too lonely to be alone."
Cui Jing smiled for once, "General, you are alone too, so you don't feel lonely at all."
"I am not like that. I have a son and a daughter!" When talking about his children, Chang Kuo smiled and his wrinkles around his eyes relaxed: "And someone will take care of me in my old age and see me to the end of my life!"
"Life is all about living comfortably! If you really don't plan to get married, then don't force yourself. No one can force you anyway!" Chang Kuo said righteously, "If the Cui family doesn't do things properly, it doesn't matter. I'll let Sui'an and Sui'ning take care of you in your old age!"
Cui Jing was silent for a moment. He was touched, but not quite there. "General, would you like to calculate the age difference between me and your husband and wife?"
"Oh... I'm so confused!" Chang Kuo slapped his forehead and laughed, "It doesn't matter. When I have grandchildren... I can use them to support you in your old age!"
As he said this, he stood up with a smile and said, "There's nothing else to do... Let's go and take a look in the garden!"
Cui Jing wanted to say goodbye, but Chang Kuo was so drunk that he could hardly walk steadily, which made him feel uneasy. Moreover, Chang Kuo was so enthusiastic that he did not give him any chance to refuse.
Cui Jing wanted to let him sober up by getting some fresh air, so he accompanied him to the garden.
“…I won, I won again!”
Ah Dian stood by the pond and cheered with joy. With a shout of "Come again", another stone flew out of his hand and hit the water surface with a "bang", tearing a long crack on the water surface.
Wei Shuyi also threw the stone in his hand.
He stood under the spring willows by the pond, with the sleeves of his jade-green gown half rolled up. He seemed to be having a lot of fun, and from time to time he let out a clear laugh.
Chang Suining, who was standing on Tangxin Bridge, was quite puzzled - he didn't quite understand the man's obsession with skipping stones.
She yawned and looked up again, only to find that the sun was so hot that she could hardly open her eyes and it seemed as if it would melt her.
"Why aren't you tired yet? This is not skipping stones, this is clearly..." Xi'er couldn't help but say, "This is clearly, in ancient times, there was the Jingwei bird filling up the sea, and now there is the general and the Minister Wei filling up the pond."
If this kind of water splashing happens a few more times, the pond in the general's mansion will have to be re-drained soon.
As Xier was talking, she saw her daughter's face flushed, and she was startled: "Daughter, are you feeling unwell?"
"Yes, a little..." Chang Suining raised his hand slowly, touched his forehead, and his palms were burning hot.
Xier exclaimed: "Oh no, the girl must be drunk!"
Drunk? Chang Suining thought to himself, "How could such an outrageous thing happen?" However, his mind and limbs seemed to be out of control. He felt dizzy and took two steps back.
This bridge is a bluestone bridge, spanning the pond, with a gentle slope and no railings.
Chang Suining's retreat ended up in vain.
"Girl!"
Xier's scream suddenly broke the silence of the afternoon.
Xier reached out to grab it hurriedly, but in vain.
With a "splash" sound, Chang Suining fell face down into the pond, scaring away a group of colorful koi.
The girl suddenly fell into the pond, her skirt, shawl and half-loose black hair entangled and floating. The water was sparkling and dazzling in the afternoon, and koi fish swam quickly in the pond.
"Little Ah Li!"
"Mrs. Chang!"
The sound of Chang Suining falling into the water reached the ears of Adian and Wei Shuyi on the opposite side.
Adian dived into the water without thinking, but he was on the other side of the river. This pond was like half a lake. It would take time to swim across, which was not faster than walking on the shore. After weighing the pros and cons for a moment, Wei Shuyi quickly ran towards the stone bridge.
Xi'er couldn't swim, and jumping in would only cause trouble. In a panic, she hastily broke a bamboo pole beside the bridge, knelt down beside the bridge, threw one end into the water, and said urgently, "Girl, grab it quickly! I'll pull you up!"
The green bamboo had touched the floating sleeve, but Chang Suining in the water did not respond.
She closed her eyes, as if she had lost consciousness, and did not struggle.
A mouthful of cold water poured into her mouth and nose, causing her to suddenly open her eyes, and her look then became alert.
The rising drunkenness made her unable to tell what day it was.
But the cold pool water all around her and the dangerous feeling of suffocation at any time have aroused her instinct for survival.
In a trance, she felt as if she had returned to the naval battle with the Japanese army at Baekgang River.
When the warship was damaged, she jumped into the water with injuries and was ambushed by several enemy soldiers hiding under the ship.
At this moment, someone suddenly swam towards her quickly and grabbed one of her arms from behind.
As expected! Chang Suining suddenly felt the killing intent, and when he turned around abruptly, he raised his other hand, bent his elbow and hit the opponent's face hard.
"?" The other party obviously didn't expect her to attack suddenly. He was caught off guard and fell back in pain.
Chang Suining took the opportunity to pull out his arm that was "clamped" by the opponent, and then pinched the opponent's mandibular cervical vertebra with one hand, and put the other hand behind the opponent's head, and used both hands to twist the opponent's head off.
“???” Cui Jing could only fight back, even though her strength was not enough to twist his head off.
The afternoon sun was dazzling, and it was reflected on the rippling and splashing water, making it even more dazzling. When Chang Suining fell into the pool and was floating, the water poured into his eyes, making his eyes sore and painful that he could hardly see anything.
On the premise of ensuring that Chang Suining would not be hurt, Cui Jing broke free from her "deadly move" and was about to grab her arm and pull her ashore, but she made a downward movement and muttered in amazement, "Where's my sword...?!"
Cui Jing: “???”
It doesn't matter if there is no sword. While Chang Suining's eyes were stinging, he vaguely caught a glimpse of the jade hairpin on the other person's head. He pulled it out without hesitation and was about to stab it across his neck.
Those moves to save lives and kill enemies are all ingrained in our bones.
Even if the mind is not there, the body is doing it.
Cui Jing, whose black hair suddenly fell down, dodged and grabbed her slender wrist.
Chang Suining raised his knees in the water and attacked him below the abdomen.
Cui Jing: “!”
Fortunately, she was slow in her movements due to being drunk, and her movements in the water would have weakened her, so she had no real killing power.
"Ah, why... why are you fighting again!" Adian, who had swam over with great difficulty, was confused when he saw this scene.
There were many other people who were also stunned.
Chang Kuo: “?”
Wei Shuyi: “?”
Xier: “?”
Changji: “?”
Yuan Xiang: “!!”
——Even though he had read countless military exercises, he couldn't figure out what he was doing! In the water, Chang Suining saw that he was no match for his opponent and thought things were not going well, so he didn't dare to fight. While making a feint to the east and attacking to the west to divert Cui Jing's attention, he took the opportunity to turn around and quickly swim to the shore, and climbed up on his own.
Everyone looked more and more stunned.
Cui Jing, with her hair spread out in the water, said: "..."
Very good, you are meddling in other people’s business again.
"Sui Ning!"
Chang Kuo had been mostly sobered up, and when his daughter swam in this direction, he ran over to meet her and quickly bent down to support her.
Chang Suining didn't have the strength to swim, and only because of the desire to survive did he barely maintain the last bit of consciousness.
Seeing Lao Chang at this time, he felt relieved, but he could no longer hold on, and his voice was unclear: "...The Japanese army is cunning, I leave it to you..."
After he finished speaking, he closed his eyes and lost consciousness.
Chang Kuo shook his daughter: "Sui Ning?!"
The crowd gathered around.
"General Chang, don't worry too much." Wei Shuyi took a closer look and concluded in a complicated tone: "Madam Chang is probably just drunk and unconscious."
"Quick, send Sui Ning back!" Chang Kuo quickly instructed, "Send someone to get a doctor to come and see him!"
Xier quickly picked up her girl easily.
Cui Jing went ashore silently.
The surprise on Yuan Xiang's face had not faded: "Commander-in-chief...are you okay?"
Looking at Chang Suining being carried away by the maid, Cui Jing didn't want to say anything at this time.
His mind suddenly echoed with Chang Kuo's words in the study just now, that he wanted the Chang brothers and sisters to take care of him in his old age and see him to the end of his life... Did the lady of the Chang family, seeing that taking care of him in his old age was not feasible, just want to see him to the end of his life?
Wei Shuyi suddenly laughed.
Cui Jing glanced over coldly.
"Forgive me, forgive me..." Wei Shuyi bowed without any sincerity: "I really couldn't help it."
It was the first time for him to see Cui Lingan in such a miserable state.
As for the time when Cui Ling'an was beaten by General Chang - he was busy preparing for the imperial examination at that time and did not make it in time to watch the fun.
Cui Jing didn't bother to pay attention to him. He walked away with water dripping all over his body and his hair disheveled.
"It's all my daughter's fault for being drunk... that's why she made such a fool of herself!" Chang Kuo sighed helplessly and quickly ordered his servants: "Hurry up and take the Grand Commander to change clothes!"
Adian also went over to change clothes.
Everyone left the garden. Changji walked beside Yuanxiang on purpose, crossed his arms and said quietly, "Your husband was beaten, but mine wasn't."
Yuan Xiang was so angry that he blurted out, "My husband has the chance to be beaten, but your husband doesn't!"
Changji's mind was confused and he was stunned after hearing this.
Yuan Xiang was filled with a sense of self-admiration—what a quick wit! He could come up with such a perfect counterattack!
Hey, it seems that this is inseparable from his daily accumulation of military books. This must be the beauty of accumulating knowledge over time.
Changji took a while to sort out his tangled mind and twitched his lips speechlessly - there was nothing to say to a mentally ill person.
Manager Bai ordered someone to bring Chang Sui'an's new clothes that he had never worn and sent them to the guest room in the front yard.
After Cui Jing changed his clothes, Yuan Xiang politely declined the maid from Chang's family who came to serve him. He took the hair-combing tools and went inside to dry his own commander's hair and then tied it up.
After finishing, he couldn't help but feel that he was really clever and skillful, so he quickly took the bronze mirror beside him and handed it to his own governor: "Governor, how do you think it looks?"
Cui Jing looked at the purple bruises at the corners of his mouth in the mirror: "...Not very good."
This was because he was caught off guard at first and was injured by Chang Suining's elbow.
Yuan Xiang put the bronze mirror away awkwardly, and couldn't help but whisper: "It's ok for the Chang family's wife to beat people on weekdays, but why does she beat people when she's drunk..."
Beat someone? Cui Jing turned around and walked out, correcting him, "I'm afraid she wants to kill someone."
In other words - kill the enemy.
Cui Jing subconsciously raised his hand and touched his neck.
The scene of the flashing water light reappeared before his eyes, and the girl who was also covered in water light suddenly approached him, her eyes and eyebrows covered with water droplets were hazy but full of murderous intent, one hand pinched his jaw and neck bone, and the other hand went around the back of his head -
This was because she was drunk. If she had been sober, if he had been an ordinary person with weaker physical strength, he would have been dead when she twisted his neck.
Her martial arts skills are still mediocre now, but her killing moves against the enemies are amazing.
"Yes... I just watched from afar and felt that Madam Chang's moves seemed to be used on the battlefield..." Yuan Xiang pondered and said, "Maybe General Chang taught her?"
Cui Jing said nothing, but there was a thoughtful look in his eyes.
Chang Kuo and Wei Shuyi were waiting not far away. When they saw Cui Jing coming out, Chang Kuo apologized again: "... Next time I will host a banquet to apologize on my daughter's behalf!"
Cui Jing: “…”
Should we hold another banquet? If she gets drunk again and attacks him, I'm afraid there will be endless banquets.
It's better not to express my apology.
Cui Jing then politely declined: "It's okay, Madam Chang didn't do it on purpose."
I don’t know if he heard the voice in his heart, but Wei Shuyi beside him laughed again.
Hearing that the doctor had gone to Chang Suining Courtyard, Chang Kuo was really worried about his daughter, so he rushed over. Before leaving, he asked Steward Bai to personally escort Cui Jing and Wei Shuyi out of the house.
After exiting the gate of the General's Mansion, Wei Shuyi looked back at the plaque and sighed, "...It can be said that Grand Admiral Cui and General Chang's Mansion have a deep connection. Looking around the capital, no one dares to embarrass Grand Admiral Cui, but Grand Admiral Cui's valuable experience of being beaten twice is all here."
When I came to visit my father as a young boy, I was beaten by him.
Now he has become the majestic general of Xuan Ce Army, but he was beaten by a girl.
As Wei Shuyi spoke, he couldn't help laughing again.
Cui Jing's face darkened slightly, and he mounted his horse and left.
…
In the dream, Chang Suining was also beating people.
But she is still the same in the dream.
Axiao was bullied by the third prince again. The already weak boy developed a high fever after falling into the water.
But my mother did not dare to seek justice.
She was so angry that she changed into her brother's robe, tied up her hair to cover up her rosy and healthy complexion, hid beside a path that the third prince must pass, and when he appeared, she threw him to the ground and beat him up.
"Li Xiao...you dare to hit me!"
"You sickly idiot, are you stupid or crazy?"
“Stop it now!”
"Wuwuwu, stop hitting me, stop hitting me. I promise I will never bully you again..."
This is exactly what she wanted, and she was willing to let go only after hearing it.
When she turned to leave, a bright yellow figure appeared in her sight and blocked her way.
She was still very young and needed to look up to see the man clearly - he was the emperor of Dasheng and her father.
"Father, Li Xiao hit me!" The third prince came over, supported by the crying palace maid, and pointed at her and said.
The king's eyes fell on her, and she subconsciously took a step back.
She and her brother were never the focus of their father's attention.
She thought she would not be able to escape punishment.
But she is not afraid of being punished.
So he straightened his back.
But she never thought that her father would say such a thing -
And it was on that day, just because of that one sentence, her fate changed.
Cui·The Great Injustice·Jing——Beaten by the Chang family all his life.
Ningning: I never thought that the person who responded to the last sentence of Chapter 076 would be me.
