"walk slowly"
After being polite, Cui Si left the cabin. Niu Yuan and others were so excited that they didn't fall asleep in the middle of the night. When Niu Yuan finally fell asleep and woke up again, they heard bursts of crying.
“Woooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo [ooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooah...
Niu Yuan got up and went over to ask. It turned out that an old brother passed away peacefully in his sleep.
well
With a sigh, Niu Yuan couldn't help but shed tears. Everyone had gone through ups and downs together for so many years, and they were about to arrive home but left again.
Can't you wait a little longer?
After all, they have occupied the land of their own country.
But fortunately, at least he can be buried in his own country. If Cui Si agrees, maybe he can be sent home.
The cries of Niu Yuan and the others naturally alerted the servants outside. The servants called Cui Si. Cui Si came in and listened to Niu Yuan's narration and couldn't help but sigh.
"Human, if you say no, it's gone, hey."
Niu Yuan raised his hand towards Cui Si: "Niu Yuan knows that the invitation is a bit excessive, but he still wants to talk about it."
Cui Si: "Please speak"
Niu Yuan: "I wonder if my benefactor can send this old brother home for burial."
Cui Si thought for a while and shook his head: "I'm sorry, we can't let this old brother go home now. Your affairs must be kept secret first." After a pause, Cui Si continued: "After this matter is settled, I will definitely send this person to you." The soul of an old brother has returned to his hometown.”
Niu Yuan is not one of those ignorant people who blindly ask for things. He knows that what Cui Si said is the most reasonable arrangement. He bows to Cui Si and thanks him: "Thank you so much."
Cui Si held up Niu Yuan's arm: "No need to be polite, my brother doesn't sound like a white man in his words. Can I ask about your background?"
Niu Yuan thought for a while and then told Cui Si the truth: "My dear Niu Yuan, whose courtesy name is Jinyi, is originally from Longxi and is from Leize, Puyang. He was drafted into the army to serve in the Kokang Army. Later, he was injured in the siege and recuperated in the supply camp. The army The evacuation was just a matter of internal chaos within the army, and he was separated from his family. Due to the inconvenience of his legs and feet, he later became a prisoner."
Niu Jinyi?
Cui Si's heartbeat quickened and he quickly asked Niu Yuan: "Is there any other brothers in my brother's family?"
Niu Yuan didn't know why Cui Si was in such a hurry, so he replied: "When I was walking down, I joined the army with my brother. There are brother Niu Xiu, younger brother Niu Hui, and younger sister Niu Hui at home."
Niu show?
ヾ(??｀Д????)
Cui Si almost jumped up, Niu Xiu, a military member of the Tang Dynasty's military cabinet, a first-level official of the Tang Dynasty, worshiping General Youwuwei, Niu Jinda of Langya County~!
"Brother, what's your brother's name~!"
"Jinda"
Niu Yuan looked at the excited Cui Si and couldn't help but asked him hurriedly: "But my benefactor knows my brother?"
Cui Si shook his head: "I don't know you, but there are not many people in the world who don't know your brother."
Cui Si's words almost caused Niu Yuan to have a heart attack. It took him a long time to regain his breath and continued to ask Cui Si: "Can my benefactor explain to Niu Yuan?"
Cui Si hugged Niu Yuan's arm and hurriedly explained to him: "If I guess correctly, my brother's brother is still alive. He is currently a first-class official in the Tang Dynasty. He is worshiped as General Youwuwei and Duke of Langya. Members of the Military Cabinet of the Tang Dynasty have been trusted by two generations of His Majesty the Tang Dynasty and are currently handling military and government affairs in the Military Cabinet of the Tang Dynasty~!"
What~!
Niu Yuan couldn't believe his ears. How could it be possible? Is that his brother?
It’s incredible~!
Niu Yuan went from being excited at first to looking suspicious. In the end, he didn't believe himself anymore. He lowered his head and said, "It must be the same name. It must be like this..."
Life goes up and down too fast, which is obviously not good for elderly people. It is not like Cui Si has never seen those old people out of breath due to excitement, and hurriedly comforted Niu Yuan.
"Brother, don't get excited. I don't know if this is true. Let's dock first and then send someone to deliver the message. If so, we will arrange for you to go to Chang'an City to meet Duke Langya and we will know."
Cui Si's words spoke to Niu Yuan's heart. Niu Yuan nodded and agreed: "Then I'll trouble my benefactor."
Amid the anxiety of Niu Yuan and Cui Si, the ship arrived at the mouth of the Yellow River. The senior naval officers guarding the mouth of the Yellow River had been notified. Although they didn't know what the Cui family was busy with, they didn't foolishly come to check.
Along the way, they sailed to the port in Shandong Province. Cui Si took Niu Yuan and others down to have a rest. Then he immediately told Niu Yuan's matter personally and rushed towards his family's residence. He wanted to report the matter to his family head personally.
Cui Si came in a hurry, which shocked Cui Shijie, the head of the Cui family, but he quickly calmed down and told Cui Si: "Old Si, you take people back immediately and settle Niu Yuan and the others properly. I will immediately Set off for Chang'an City."
Cui Si saw Cui Shijie and asked him, "But will going to Duke Langya's house like this disturb others?"
Cui Shijie thought for a while: "I will go to Chang'an City in the name of visiting my daughter. When the time comes, let Cheng Yaojin get in touch with Duke Langya. Then I will have a good talk with Cheng Yaojin. If both of them are willing to Let me tell you something from my Cui family. In the future, His Majesty will not punish me anymore, just the Cui family."
After saying this, Cui Si looked a little unhappy and complained to himself: "It's all my fault. I leaked my identity when I received the goods with Xiao Qi."
Cui Shijie waved his hand: "Don't say that. If I hadn't been lucky enough to get the upper hand, I wouldn't have been noticed by the court, and our family wouldn't have been where we are now. I regret it. I almost ruined the Cui family for thousands of years."
Cui Si comforted Cui Shijie and said: "As the saying goes, good fortune and misfortune depend on each other. Isn't this also an opportunity for our family? We have accepted the task given by His Majesty. If we do well, we will be able to outweigh the merits. This time we will also find Duke Niu's brother and rescue him." Having killed so many people of the previous dynasty, Your Majesty wants to make clear the rewards and punishments of my Cui family. There will be no reward if we fail to protect them all."
Feeling that Cui Si's words made sense, Cui Shijie couldn't help but pick up the conversation and continued: "That's true. I didn't expect that these people brought in by your wit, Si, would be of great help to our Cui family."
Cui Si also said happily: "Our Cui family no longer has anything to worry about. I will go back and take good care of them. I will take people to Chang'an City as soon as the news of the family master arrives."
Cui Shijie nodded: "Go ahead, I have to hurry up. After all, I don't know whether it is good or bad that Jin Sanshun wants to contact our Datang this time, but we don't have that much goods and we have to go to Cheng Yaojin."
Cui Si and Cui Shijie separated, and each headed towards their destination with their own horses and horses.
The head of the Cui family came to Chang'an City to visit his daughter. Who could believe that he was traveling so fast? He must have found Cheng Yaojin through the back door.
Cui Shijie was smart enough not to refute this conjecture, which would reduce the exposure of the matter.
When Cui Shijie came to the door, Cheng Yaojin heard Cui Shijie's intention and said something leisurely, and Cui Shijie almost didn't get scared.
