I didn't take the lie seriously at first, but to fulfill this lie, I have to pay a considerable price.
Xu Yunyan's mouth is dry now. From being a pawn in the Tang Dynasty to unexpectedly gaining military merit and becoming an eighth-grade official, Xu Yunyan's mouth is dry.
After hearing Xu Yunyan's experience that was more exciting than a novel, Xu Guichang and Wang Huan couldn't help but applaud.
"I didn't expect Brother Xu Ying to have such an experience. I really admire him."
Xu Guichang and Wang Huanhuan admired them for a while but still had no intention of leaving. Xu Yunyan was embarrassed there.
"Two brothers, it's already late at this time. Let's all take a rest?"
As soon as Xu Yunyan said this, Xu Guichang said from beside him, "It's still early. The sun hasn't set yet, and it's not time for dinner yet. Why rest? After hearing Brother Xu Ying's heroic story, we can't wait to do it." Joining the army, but I can’t carry it on my shoulders or lift it, which makes Brother Xu Ying laugh a bit.”
As soon as Xu Guichang finished speaking, Wang Huan couldn't help but look at him with a look of despair.
"Why are you so eager to be a scholar? If you want to join the army, you must first gain fame. Otherwise, as you said, you can't carry your pen on your shoulders and join the army, how can you make a name for yourself? My sister is betrothed to you. , you can't let my sister live a homeless life with you, and I don't want my sister to be a widow."
Although Wang Huan's words were suspected of being a joke, Xu Yunyan and Xu Guichang knew that Wang Huan had definitely gone through something, otherwise they would not value their sister so much.
Wang Huan has always said that his parents ordered a matchmaker, but Wang Huan was able to decide his sister's marriage. Is he another miserable person?
Every family has a difficult problem to recite. Xu Yunyan hadn't even dealt with his own family's problem, so he stopped caring about what kind of difficulties Wang Huan had.
It's not that Xu Yunyan is heartless, but that Xu Yunyan is also a clay Buddha and cannot save himself when crossing the river.
If you are under the command of the serious King Qin Li Shimin, you can ask him what trouble he has. If you can't solve it now, it is not impossible to wait until King Qin ascends the throne in two years to solve the problem for him.
But who makes his current identity so embarrassing?
This person is not under the command of King Li Shimin of Qin, nor is he a general from the original Tang Dynasty. Instead, he was selected from among the rebels, and now he is a person from Prince Li Jiancheng...
Just thinking about it brings tears to my eyes.
Just when everyone at the scene fell into silence, there was a sudden knock on the door, which made Xu Yunyan very curious.
Who will knock on the door at this time?
Then he looked at the door, and saw that the cow was eating grass and that the cow had gone up the mountain and was still with Yue'er, so he could only stay by his side. He was not one of his own at all.
Xu Yunyan took a step forward and said, "Who?"
Although it was very slight, he was on full alert, fearing that something might happen.
But what shocked Xu Yunyan was that soon a low but familiar voice came from outside the door.
"Little old man Cui Jinte came to visit you, sir."
It turned out to be the target of the water bandits. I didn't expect that his surname was Cui and his name was Cui Jin. With such wealth, could he be a branch of the Cui family in Qinghe?
It's so-called not to hit the smiling person, not to mention that now I don't know what Cui Jin is doing. Xu Yunyan opened the door and saw Cui Jin standing alone outside the door with a package in his hand.
After Cui Jin saw Xu Yunyan opening the door, he hugged Xu Yunyan again and said, "Mr. Xu, it's polite for me to come in here."
No matter what the matter was, Cui Jin was older than him, so he couldn't let him salute him. Xu Yunyan hurriedly stepped aside and gave him a salute in return.
"Brother Cui Jin, why do you need to be so polite? Come in quickly."
Under Xu Yunyan's polite gesture, Cui Jin nodded with satisfaction and entered the room where Xu Yunyan was.
As soon as I entered, I saw two mighty men guarding a girl who was at most ten years old.
Sure enough, Xu Ying was an official.
Cui Jin nodded and confirmed what he thought, otherwise where would such a strong guard come from?
However, Cui Jin is indeed a businessman. Even if he is sure of what he wants and is proud of here, he will not show it on his face.
Cui Jin handed the package in his hand to Xu Yunyan, "Thank you, Mr. Xu, for saving your life. Otherwise, I might not be able to return home alive. My money is actually missed by these water bandits. This is a small token of my gratitude. Mr. Xu, please be kind." Take it."
Feeling: Did Cui Jin come to give him a gift to thank him for saving him?
Did he think so or did he guess it because he was an official?
But just when Xu Yunyan was thinking this, Cui Jin had already placed the package in his hand next to Xu Yunyan, where he lowered his head and waited for Xu Yunyan's reply.
Xu Yunyan looked at the package at his feet, then looked at Cui Jin and clasped his fists at Cui Jin, "How does this work? Aren't we soldiers just to protect the country and the people? What else can we do if we encounter these water bandits? You mean? Of course we have to deal with them, so how can I tolerate my brother’s things? Please push me to take this thing back as soon as possible.”
As Xu Yunyan said this, he picked up the package on the ground. He saw that the package was quite small just now, but he was surprised when he lifted it up.
"Why is it so heavy? What's in it? Is it gold?"
When Xu Yunyan thought about it, Cui Jin was a little at a loss when looking at the returned package.
"Does Mr. Xu think it's too little? Don't worry, if Mr. Xu thinks it's too little, I will go back and prepare it for Mr. Xu."
This suddenly made Xu Yunyan a little unhappy.
"I said, brother, we didn't help him just for the money. What's more, didn't I say it? Isn't it that we, the soldiers, want to protect the country and the people? How can we be so indifferent to water bandits? "
Cui Jin saw that Xu Yunyan was not faking, and pushed the package in Xu Yunyan's hand.
"This is really a little bit of gratitude from the old man. Please accept it, Mr. Xu. Having a good official like Mr. Xu to maintain peace is definitely a blessing to the people like us.
Xu Yunyan was polite to Cui Jin here again, but did not let Cui Jin take the package away. He had no choice but to signal, "Niu come up the mountain and collect this package."
"Okay, Master!"
Niu Shangshan agreed and took the package aside. Seeing Cui Jin hesitate to speak in front of him, Xu Yunyan was very curious.
"Brother Cui Jin, what's the matter? Why are you so hesitant when you just say it's okay?"
Cui Jin couldn't help but sigh when he saw Xu Yunyan accepting his package and being so approachable, and finally gritted his teeth as if he had made up his mind.
"Little old man, please ask Mr. Xu for help here."
Cui Zhu knelt down, and everyone present was a little confused about what kind of medicine Cui Jin was selling in his gourd.
