There were more than 500 people waiting for Cui Yanjin. Cui Yanjin had reasonable doubts that his grandfather had given him the entire Guishan sect.
He hugged the horse's neck and said happily: "From now on, if you follow me, I will make sure you eat well and drink spicy food."
These words are very bold and bold.
The leader was named Chen San. He laughed and said, "Then it's settled. We believe in you, young master."
Cui Yanjin was very happy and said to the side: "Brother Xingzhi, my mother is quite reliable."
Cui Xingzhi also felt that it seemed that the fourth uncle and the fourth aunt were quite reliable. After all, how could they not give him a hand for his own son? But he didn't expect that the fourth aunt would actually write back to her parents' house and ask for the entire Guisha family to be used by her little cousin.
These people from the Ghost Sect are much more useful than the secret guards they have trained. They appear and disappear and kill people invisible.
He smiled and said, "Aunt Fourth still loves you."
"After all, she is my mother." Cui Yanjin chuckled and said to everyone, "This is my cousin, Cui Xingzhi."
"Young Master Xing." Chen San led everyone to greet him, "Thank you for taking care of Young Master Yan Jin. Please take good care of Young Master Xing in the future."
Cui Xingzhi nodded and cupped his hands, "It's easy to say, thank you for your hard work."
After everyone exchanged pleasantries, they continued their journey.
Cui Xingzhi discovered that except Chen San, everyone else had disappeared and disappeared behind them.
After walking for another ten days, they came to the border of Nanchu. The secret guard inquired about the situation. After returning, he reported to Cui Xingzhi, "Sir, there are 200,000 Liang soldiers and horses guarding the border. The troops are led by the second son Zhou Shen and the third son Zhou Che of the Protector's Mansion. ."
Cui Xingzhi nodded.
Cui Yanjin said from the side: "Brother Xingzhi, do you want to see me?"
Cui Xingzhi shook his head, "No need, let's go to Nanchu first. My cousin is in urgent need of manpower, so we won't waste any time. Liang Chen's 200,000 soldiers are on the border of Nanchu, and they must have a purpose. Send someone to say hello, and just leave."
"Okay." Cui Yanjin nodded.
So, a group of people entered Nanchu.
Zhou Shen and Zhou Che also got the news that the two young masters of the Cui family had brought someone into Nanchu. After the guards reported the news, the two looked at each other.
Zhou Che asked: "Which two gentlemen?"
"Cui Xingzhi, Cui Yanjin."
Zhou Che took a breath, "Cui Xingzhi? He traveled thousands of miles to enter Nanchu. Why?"
Zhou Shen speculated, "Perhaps the fourth brother asked Cui Gong for help, so Cui Gong sent people to Nanchu to rescue him?"
They all knew that the eldest aunt asked the Cui family for two hundred secret guards for her fourth brother.
At this time, another person came to report that Mr. Xingzhi of the Cui family had sent word that he and Mr. Yan Jin were going to Nanchu to seek refuge with the Fourth Young Master. Since the Fourth Young Master lacked help around him, they were in a hurry and had to go to help him earlier. , I didn’t come here specifically to see you.
Zhou Chen was sure of it when he heard it.
Zhou Che immediately said: "It's my fault that my eldest brother mentioned this matter. He said that the manpower provided by his grandfather to the fourth brother was short and might not be enough. He asked his grandfather to send more men to him, but his grandfather shook his head and said that the rules of the Protector's Palace were not allowed. break."
He sighed, "When my fourth brother left the capital, I gave him my hand privately, but he refused to accept it. I am a commoner, and I shouldn't be like my brothers."
Zhou Shen said: "Eldest brother and I also gave it, but he didn't accept it either." He paused and then said: "Third brother, don't think like this. In our Duke Protector's Mansion, you are the same as us. You have already Put it in my aunt’s name.”
He also sighed, "I don't blame grandpa, our Duke Protector's Mansion is not as rich as the Cui family. Although the Duke's Mansion has been famous for so many years, everyone thinks that the Duke Protector's Mansion should be a big family and a big business, but everyone knows that, Your Majesty has withheld military pay over the years, and the Protectorate has to provide financial support to the retired soldiers from time to time. Even if there are gold and silver mountains, it is not enough. Each of us can support a limited number of guards. Unlike Cui of Qinghe, The ancestral family property is huge, it is true that there is a mountain of gold and silver, accumulated over hundreds of years, to train manpower for the use of promising children in the family, which is much more abundant than our Protector's Palace, which can be deployed. "
"I was wrong, and it was not easy for my grandfather. I shouldn't have made any rash remarks about my grandfather." Zhou Che said immediately.
Zhou Shen patted him on the shoulder and said, "Cui Gong actually sent Cui Xingzhi. You are so willing."
Zhou Che nodded, "Yes, it turned out to be Cui Xingzhi. It's a pity that he was in a hurry. Otherwise, we would have carefully asked him what news he had about the fourth brother. We have been here for so long, but we haven't got any news about the fourth brother, and we don't know anything about him. How's it going."
"The fourth brother Jiren has his own destiny, so he can naturally turn disaster into good luck." Zhou Shen said.
"I also want to go to Nanchu to help my fourth brother." Zhou Che sighed, "But the military orders are like mountains. His Highness the Crown Prince asked us to stay here, so we can only stay here and cannot move."
Zhou Shen nodded, "I hope we won't be used. Otherwise, the situation in Nan Chu will be so critical."
Zhou Che thinks about it too.
The two brothers suppressed their temper. Three days later, unexpectedly, another group of secret guards from the Protector's Mansion arrived. They just said hello and quietly entered Nanchu.
Zhou Shen and Zhou Che were both shocked, and their expressions changed. Zhou Che said: "It can be seen that the situation in Nanchu is very serious, otherwise my grandfather would not have broken the rules."
Grandfather sent five hundred secret guards. These should be all the secret guards in the Duke Protector's Mansion, right?
"It must be very serious. I'm afraid the fourth brother will be in great danger." Zhou Shen couldn't sit still, "The princess has brought 300,000 troops and horses. Although there are not many people around the fourth brother, but including what Cui Gong gave, the total is quite large. Bai, how can it still be very dangerous?"
"Second brother, should we also send someone to Nanchu to inquire about the situation? We can't just wait and know nothing. Although we can't leave, we can also send secret guards there." Zhou Che said.
Zhou Shen nodded, "That's fine."
So, the two of them ordered hundreds of secret guards and sent them to Nanchu.
Zhou Gu didn't know that his mother, his grandfather, and his grandfather were all anxious after learning that the situation in Nanchu was very serious, and sent people to Nanchu to help him.
There are indeed not many men left around him. When he entered Nanchu, he brought hundreds of people with him, but now there are indeed only a few dozen left. All of them were seriously injured and had the same fate as him, but they survived in Wanren Mountain.
Now, he, Su Rong, and others were hearing an urgent report that the Wei Crown Prince Yuan Zhao, with 800,000 troops, had returned to Qihuan Mountain under the leadership of Nangong Zheng.
Su Rong's face changed. Eight hundred thousand, but she had not yet joined forces with Zhang Mao, Jiang Zhu and others, and she only had a few hundred thousand troops in hand. If these 800,000 yuan come, they can crush ten of her to death.
She immediately said decisively: "Withdraw!"
"Yes, retreat quickly." Zhou Gu also said.
Xie Yuan nodded, "Indeed, we can only withdraw."
So, everyone broke camp and quickly retreated in the direction that Zhang Mao, Jiang Zhu and others were pursuing, in order to quickly join the 300,000 soldiers and horses.
