After looking at each other for a moment, Chang Sui Ning Si finally confirmed that the person who suddenly appeared in front of her was not an illusion.
Then she also dismounted.
Cui Jing subconsciously raised his hand to help her, but saw that she was still agile and jumped down steadily.
He then retracted his hand silently.
The next moment, the girl looked at him seriously with her clear almond-shaped eyes and said, "You have lost weight."
Cui Jing's eyes fell on her head for a moment, and he said warmly: "You're cumming."
"Maybe it's because I didn't open an umbrella inside the house?" Chang Sui Ning Sha said matter-of-factly.
Cui Jing was stunned for a moment, then smiled: "Well, that's right."
Chang Suining looked at him with a smile on his face.
Just when she was about to say something, Colonel Bai dismounted and came quickly, making a surprised voice: "... Commander Cui?!"
He and Cui Jing had known each other in Beijing and were trusted by Cui Jing, so Chang Suining had "borrowed a horse" from him before.
They didn't know each other. At first, he just borrowed the horse. Now he has "borrowed" himself as well, and he is about to become one of Chang Sui Ning's right-hand men.
Cui Jing and Bai Xiaowei nodded.
Lieutenant Bai quickly saluted him, then lowered his voice and asked, "How come Governor Cui is here?"
"By secret decree."
Colonel Bai was surprised and breathed a sigh of relief.
I see.
He thought that Governor Cui was suffering from a bone disease and that he would leave his post without permission and come all the way to see General Ningyuan secretly!
Soon, the people brought by Chang Suining all stepped forward to salute Cui Jing. Most of them had not had the chance to see Cui Jing's true appearance. At this moment, facing the prestigious Xuance Army General, they all had bright eyes and a look of excitement. Admiration, respect and curiosity.
Colonel Bai was about to speak, but was suddenly cut off by Yuan Xiang who came over: "...Have Lieutenant Bai brought Thief Xu's head back?"
Captain Bai: "Of course!"
He was hanging right away.
Yuan Xiang's eyes were eager: "Can you let me take a look too?"
Captain Bai: "?"
It’s just a human head, what’s there to see?
But Yuanxiang had already pulled him away and called the brothers of Xuance Army to come and see him too.
Everyone went, and the people Chang Suining brought stood in front of Cui Jing. After bowing, they all left and gathered around to look at Xu Thief's head. Although... they didn't know what the value of this thing was. Not to mention the ornamental value.
But life in the military is all about being gregarious.
Seeing this, Chang Sui Ning, as the holder of Thief Xu's head and as the "master", warmly invited Cui Jing: "Do you want Governor Cui to come and take a look?"
Cui Jing: "...That's not necessary."
As he spoke, he raised his right hand and took off his cloak.
The cloak fluttered in the wind, carrying the clean and refreshing smell of grass, and fell on Chang Sui Ning's body.
Chang Suining raised his head slightly in astonishment and looked at the young man in front of him.
But he lowered his eyes not to look at her, his eyes only fixed on his fingers tying her cloak.
There was no expression on his face, because he had a pair of particularly cold eyebrows. When he didn't express any expression, he looked very calm and indifferent. But only he knew clearly that at this moment, under her serious gaze that seemed to be inquiring, he saw He seems to be meticulous, but in fact he is beating a drum in his heart.
This weird feeling that shouldn't appear in him only occurs when facing her.
But in comparison, it is more important to tie her cloak.
She was wearing armor, but because she had been in the water, the robe under the armor had never been dry, and there were still drops of water hanging from the corners of the robe.
When the wind blows in spring, there is still a bit of chill.
But at this moment, this three-point chill was blocked by this cloak.
Cui Jing withdrew her hand, seemed calm, and said randomly: "Okay."
"Thank you." Chang Sui Ning raised his eyes with a smile and raised his hand to lift out the ponytail hair that was under the cloak at the back of his neck.
Her hair was also half-wet, and she had lost it somewhere during the pursuit of Xu Zhengye.
Cui Jing looked at the blood on her face and hands: "Are there any serious injuries?"
There is no need to ask, "Are there any injuries?" Since she was pursuing Xu Zhengye personally during such a close attack, injuries were unavoidable. She must have suffered a lot of injuries.
Chang Suining shook his head: "They are just minor injuries."
But Cui Jing still said: "It's better to get on the horse and talk."
He looked at her and said slowly, "Thank you for your hard work."
"A little bit." Chang Sui Ning exhaled lightly, with a relaxed smile on his face.
She really couldn't walk much anymore, so she listened to the advice and climbed back on the horse.
She subconsciously looked in the direction of Bianzhou and Luoyang.
In fact, it's not just a little hard work, it's very hard work, but if you can kill Xu Zhengye, it's "worth it".
In Bianzhou and Luoyang, not a single plant or tree was affected.
In the land of Jiangnan, those displaced people will soon be able to go home again. The pain that has been caused can no longer be undone, but being able to go home is the greatest comfort at the moment.
When Chang Suining looked into the distance, his fingers subconsciously grabbed the reins, but missed it.
She looked away and saw that the reins were already in Cui Jing's hand.
He was beside her, holding her horse and walking forward slowly.
Chang Suining was surprised, then stretched out his hand: "How can I let you hold the horse for me? I should do it myself."
After all, he is the high-ranking general of the Xuance Army, and many people are watching from behind.
"Why not?" Cui Jing looked forward without squinting: "You are General Ning Yuan who has made extraordinary achievements again. Anyone can lead your horse."
Her hands were injured and the reins rough.
He didn't care about the eyes of others or his subordinates, or in other words, he didn't think it was beneath his dignity to hold the horse for her.
Seeing him like this, Chang Sui Ning no longer insisted on taking back the reins. It happened that she had something to ask him.
At this moment, everything has been settled and there is no rush. The soldiers and horses are very tired. They walk slowly and take a rest.
Cui Jing was leading the horse for Chang Suining. Bai Xiaowei Yuanxiang and others, as well as dozens of Xuance troops brought by Cui Jing, were behind. Many of them were leading the horses or sitting on the horses and walking slowly.
As the horses walked, they swung their tails and nibbled on the tender grass.
Having just experienced a bloody war, this short leisure at this moment is even more precious.
The scenery along this journey is very beautiful, the wind is clear and the grass is green, and it is far away from the crowds. Both people and horses can feel the natural comfort and healing given by heaven and earth on this journey back.
And being too relaxed is not a good thing. The nearly a hundred men and horses following behind stretched their heads to look at the two men and one horse in front, wishing they could break their necks.
Lieutenant Bai looked very calm and did not show any signs of scratching his head and head. However, he once again felt regretful that he "wants not to be born as a fly in order to realize the freedom of gossip."
As for why not take a closer look? Do they not want to?
No, it was Yuan Xiang who was not allowed.
Yuanxiang walked in front of them, like a shepherd's hound, guarding the sheep behind him, not allowing any sheep to leave the team.
The Grand Governor finally got to see Mrs. Chang. He did not allow any sheep, no, anyone to disturb the Grand Governor and Mrs. Chang's conversation.
No gossip was allowed at close range, so everyone had no choice but to fawn over Yuan Xiang, talking about Brother Yuan Xiang, trying to get something from Yuan Xiang, even if it was just scraps.
Yuan Xiang's status today is particularly outstanding.
Everyone was whispering behind each other and divided into two factions in a tacit understanding. The Xuance Army belonged to the enthusiastic and unrestrained faction, while the "Ningyuan Army" was half reserved and one half reserved. They never imagined that they would be able to show up in front of Xuance Army in their lifetime. Born with a sense of superiority.
The bold faction repeatedly praised enthusiastically: "Your General Ning Yuan is really powerful..."
When he mentioned his own Grand Governor, he acted like a grandma selling melons: "Look, our Grand Governor sees so much work!
"
He gave me a cloak, and he led a horse... He was so attentive that he could stupefy several Qinghe Cui clan members at random.
"Did you intercept Xu Zhengye's 10,000 elite cavalry?" Chang Suining asked Cui Jing.
"Yes." Cui Jing answered her, "I secretly dispatched a thousand subordinates to intercept Xu Zhengye's cavalry."
Chang Suining looked at him.
Trying to use one thousand to stop ten thousand would be judged as arrogant and ignorant by others, but he is Cui Jing, and he leads the Xuance Army.
[An app that has been running stably for many years, comparable to the old book-chasing tool, used by all old bookworms.
, will definitely take all the credit to the greatest extent possible.
At that time, the only thing left for her would be "to overcome the problem".
She had planned all of this by herself, and outsiders should not help her, but at least they should not rashly disrupt her plan, take away her credit, and blame her for non-existent faults.
In this matter, he is also an "outsider".
The reason why he "stayed out of the situation" was because he knew that she did not need a hero who descended from the sky in times of crisis, because she herself was one.
What he has to do is to ensure that her plans are not disrupted and to deal with some possible changes for her in the dark.
No one would know that he had appeared here afterwards. In this glory that belonged to her, he didn't need to have any name.
Chang Suining held the horse's back for a while, then said: "But, how did you know that I set an ambush here?"
During the period when he lost information, she had no contact with Yuan Xiang. In order to prevent the possibility of leaks, she did not let Yuan Xiang leak any news at that time.
Cui Jing turned his head and looked at the girl on the horse: "You told me a long time ago."
Chang Suining was stunned: "How did I tell you?"
In a dream?
"You told me in your letter." Cui Jing said, "You said you would take Xu Zhengye's life, so you will definitely do it."
Chang Sui Ning smiled: "Then shouldn't I also tell everyone in the world?"
She once used that piece of paper to declare to the world that she would kill Xu Zhengye.
But among the uninformed people in the world, he was the only one who believed it.
He believed that she would do it, and that she was not talking nonsense.
And his trust is not frivolous, it is not just words, this trust is very "solid", so solid that he can analyze step by step how she will set up the situation.
Moreover, he cut off any possible troubles for her where no one could see her.
But before today, she knew nothing about it.
At this moment, she heard the young man holding her horse say: "I know you don't care where the credit goes."
But, he cared about her.
Because: "But you need to take the credit that belongs to you."
She needs to use the prestige gained from these achievements to do more of what she wants to do.
Chang Sui Ning said: "No, I still care about such a big contribution."
Cui Jing smiled.
"Cui Jing..."
Hearing this shout, the young man turned his head again and looked at the person on the horse with soft eyebrows.
Chang Suining looked at him with a smile on his face, bright eyes and white teeth: "Thank you."
"No need to thank you, I didn't do anything."
"Then thank you for holding the horse for me."
Cui Jing did not say that there was no need to thank you this time, but said with a smile: "You should."
The next moment, Chang Suining was seen holding the horse's back, lowering his body slightly, moving closer to him, and his voice was much lower: "I have one last question to ask you."
