Chapter 92 I came back this time to invite you to Chongshan Pass
At night, Cui Si had another nightmare. She dreamed that Yan Xingchuan was covered in blood and lying in a pool of blood.
I was awakened by a nightmare in the middle of the night and couldn't fall asleep again.
Cui Si sat in the house, listening to the lightning and thunder outside and the heavy rain pouring down, and was a little dazed for a moment.
The night light on the bedside lampstand in the room swayed slightly, flickering.
Song Lu, who was keeping watch on a temporary bed in the Ming Hall, was also awakened by the thunderstorm. When he pushed the door open quietly, he was shocked to see Cui Si sitting in the room in a daze.
"Madam, what's wrong with you?"
Cui Si regained consciousness and lowered her eyelids: "I'm thinking about something."
"What are you thinking about?"
"You said Yan Xingchuan, our King of Northern Yan, could something have really happened to him?"
"So that's what happened. My wife has been worrying too much." Song Lu breathed a sigh of relief.
"Our King of Northern Yan is so brave and valiant, how could he lose? As far as I know, he has led troops for many years and has rarely suffered a defeat."
"That's different. He's facing Jiang Shao."
Jiang Shao is such a cunning, hypocritical and scheming person, and he is not inferior to Yan Xingchuan in terms of personal martial arts or leading troops in battle.
In their previous life, it took them more than ten years to reach the Imperial City because there was Jiang Shao from the Duke Ping’s Mansion in the imperial court.
In the previous life, in the battle of Chongshan Pass, although Yan Xingchuan won by a narrow margin, it also cost human lives.
Looking up, there were mountains of corpses and seas of blood everywhere.
That scene was so shocking.
Although Yan Xingchuan might be able to defeat Jiang Shao to some extent after his rebirth, if Jiang Shao attacks from behind, he will be hard to defend against and he still has a chance of winning.
If Yan Xingchuan was more cautious, perhaps things would be safer. What she was afraid of was that Yan Xingchuan would be provoked crazy by Jiang Shao and fall into a trap.
"But it's useless for my lady to worry. Otherwise, I will send someone to Chongshan Pass tomorrow to check and ask Mr. Sanlang."
"That's all we can do."
On the second day, before Cui Si had time to arrange for people to set off, someone came to say that a man named "Wu Tu" came to ask for an audience.
"Brother Wu?" Cui Si was surprised, but she immediately agreed, "Hurry up and ask him to go to the guest garden and tell him I'll be there soon."
Cui Si changed her clothes and went to the guest garden to meet Wu Tu.
Wu Tu was sitting in the room with a young man. The young man stood behind him. When he saw Cui Si coming, he stood up and took the young man to pay his respects to Cui Si.
"Sixth Lady."
"Brother Wu." Cui Si returned his greeting and asked him to take a seat. "Please take a seat."
Cui Si stepped forward and sat down in the main seat, and Wu Tu also sat down in the lower seat.
Cui Si asked Wu Tu, "Brother Wu, why did you come to Cui's today? Did something happen?"
"Nothing." Wu Tu laughed heartily twice.
"Didn't Sixth Lady ask me before if I wanted to serve the King of Northern Yan? Didn't I say I needed to think about it?"
"Oh, Brother Wu, have you figured it out now?"
"What do you mean, I was worried that no one would look after my pork stall, and I was really worried. So, I found an apprentice for myself and taught him for a few days. I will hand over the pork stall to him in the future."
"If Sixth Lady wants to buy some pork, just go find him."
The young man was about thirteen or fourteen years old, dark and thin. He looked a little reserved when looking at people, but he also smiled, showing a few teeth.
"Sixth Lady, my name is Heishan, and I am Master's new disciple."
This pork stall is looking for a successor. Cui Si wanted to laugh, but she also showed great respect: "Okay, you will inherit your master's skills in the future. You must butcher the pigs well and not bring disgrace to your master's reputation."
"As for me, I have to come to your stall occasionally to buy a couple of pounds. When I do, you must pick out a good piece for me."
"Of course, of course." Heishan agreed repeatedly, smiling a little disoriented.
Cui Si said, "You should sit down too, don't stand."
Cui Si had tea served, and then asked Wu Tu, "Brother Wu, what are your plans?"
Wu Tu said, "I am hesitating whether to go find your fifth brother or your third brother."
Cui Si suggested: "Fifth brother and the head of the family are still in Pingzhou, so there is nothing serious. If you want to go, go to Chongshan Pass to find third brother."
"Chongshan Pass?"
"That's right. The King of Northern Yan is currently attacking Chongshan Pass. Beyond Chongshan Pass are Yunzhou, Miaozhou, and Laizhou. If you wish to achieve merit, this is your battlefield."
"After conquering these three states, Northern Yan should rest and recuperate for a while."
"Then let's go to Chongshan Pass." Wu Tu made the decision without much thought.
"Okay, then I'll write a letter and ask you to take it to your third brother. He will introduce you to him when the time comes." Cui Si was very happy that the general had returned.
"However, on the battlefield, swords are merciless and life and death are unpredictable. You must be careful."
Wu Tu laughed heartily: "Thank you for your concern, Sixth Lady. I will do it. It's just that my pork shop is under my control, so please take care of it."
"It's a small matter."
After talking to Wu Tu, Cui Si went back and wrote a letter, gave it to Wu Tu, and asked him to take it to Chongshan Pass to find Cui Jing.
This letter firstly described Wu Tu's situation and asked him to help introduce someone, and secondly asked him about the situation at Chongshan Pass and asked him to write back.
After receiving the letter, Wu Tu went back to pack some clothes and dry food, and set off on horseback the next day.
For the next three or four days, Xianyang City was peaceful and quiet. The sun, however, grew hotter day by day, and the cicadas on the branches kept chirping, which was very irritating.
Cui Si became much more irritable and restless, as if everything she saw annoyed her.
It was also in the evening of that day that Cui Jing and Shen Mo suddenly returned to Xianyang City.
Upon hearing the news, Cui Si hurried to greet them. As soon as she reached the door, she saw that they had already arrived.
“Third brother, General Shen.”
Cui Jing had become darker and thinner, his face looked a little haggard, and there was darkness under his eyes. When he got off the horse, his legs felt a little weak and he almost fell down.
It was Shen Mo who helped him up and prevented him from falling.
Seeing her brother like this, Cui Si's face changed and she stepped forward to help him: "Third brother, what happened to you?"
What's wrong?
He has been traveling day and night for three days to get here!
Now my butt hurts and my legs are weak.
"Ahem! No, nothing."
Although Cui Jing risked his reputation on the battlefield, he still felt that he had to maintain his face as the eldest brother in front of his younger sister.
"I just traveled day and night all the way back, and I'm a little tired."
"Is everything okay at home? Is grandma in good health?"
"All is well, all is well." Cui Si heaved a sigh of relief when she heard that he was in a hurry.
"By the way, Brother Wu went to Chongshan Pass to look for you. Did you meet him?"
"And how is Chongshan Pass doing now?"
When talking about the situation in Chongshan Pass, Cui Jing's expression faltered.
Chen Mo said, "Sixth Lady, the situation at Chongshan Pass is okay, but the Master... he's not feeling well... We came back this time to invite you to Chongshan Pass."
