Chapter 218 Fake Phoenix Void Phoenix
Cui Shihao, who agreed to enter the city to contact Xu Shiye and others, said that he had not forgotten what the young man Cui Hengxue said before: "Emperor Hengxue..., what items are stored in the Third Uncle's Mansion? You can take them back together when you go there. Emperor Hengxue..., there is no need to go to Qinghe City in person!"
"Mr. Yang is going to stay in the village for two days..." Cui Shihao asked the young man Cui Hengxue seemed to be a little confused and muttered. Her clear eyes instantly glanced at Xu Shiye who was sitting on the side, but her face flushed for no reason: "Then, Hengxue will stay in the village for the seventh uncle to accompany Lord Yang!" [..com]
After finishing his words softly, the young Cui Hengxue realized that he was answering the question. Therefore, the red tide on his jade face hurriedly said to Cui Shihao: "Geng Xue's 'green ears' are stored in the Third Master's mansion. Uncle Seven can bring it back to Hengxue..."
Maybe it was because he was worried that the young Cui Hengxue would mention that he would enter the city again? So Cui Shihao immediately agreed: "Okay, okay, okay! Uncle Qi will definitely bring it back to Hengxue's virtuous nephew...!"
Cui Shihao and Cui Hengxue finished what they wanted to say. However, the dialogue between the uncle and nephew made Xu Shiye feel a little confused again: What is this "green ear"?
....
Even without Xu Shiye, just the visit of Yang Shanhui and Yang Yuanhong, two local officials, the Cui family, who are rich in wealth, wide-ranging and very particular about interpersonal relationships, will welcome everyone very enthusiastically regardless of whether they can answer what they ask for. Therefore, when the afternoon meal was over, Cui Shihao, the owner of the house, immediately arranged a banquet to entertain guests.
Xu Shiye and others, who came to visit, still had to wait for the final result, were programmed and humble. Thanks to him, they accepted Cui Shihao's invitation and prepared to stay in Cui's Manor for a short wait for news for one or two days.
The larger the family, the stricter and more rules within the family are; the little boy Er Yu'er is absolutely not qualified to take the seat. The young Cui Hengxue, although the owner of the manor Cui Saihao had invited him to participate, he was shirked by him. Therefore, at the beginning of the banquet, only the owner of the manor Cui Saihao was accompanied by everyone.
However, Xiong Kuohai, who had always stood behind Xu Shiye, was still held back by Xu Shiye, who did not pay much attention to these things and joined the seat together. Naturally, because Xiong Kuohai led his troops to be the main force when he broke the siege of Zheng County and also killed Zhao Junde, it can be said that he was directly kind to Yang Shanhui and Yang Yuanhong; therefore, Yang Shanhui and Yang Yuanhong also tried their best to retain them.
Because everyone has a big event to do in their hearts. Therefore, although the banquet was arranged very richly, everyone just stopped it. The symbolic slightest part of the symbolic ended in a hurry. Perhaps the only thing among everyone was the "busy" Xiongkuohai filled the "round belly"?
However, socializing, talking, eating, etc. will still cause time to pass quickly, and the daytime will be shorter after the winter; after the banquet, time is approaching the twilight time.
The Cui family, a wealthy family, is a wealthy family member, even Cui Shihao, who is like a "intermediate manager" in the family industry, has a very generous private residence in the manor. In his private residence, there are separate side courtyard rooms for reception of guests. Naturally, these rooms are classified and exclusive depending on the status of the guests.
Visitors like Xu Shiye and others should also be considered middle and high-level for Cui (in fact, it is mainly measured by the identity of the local officials of Eryang). Similarly, if you think of the Cui family in the past, there were more than 20 ministers of the imperial court who were "below one person and above ten thousand people" (of course, the most famous one is Cui Hao, known as the "famous prime minister"), you can confirm that Xu Shiye and others are still at a certain distance from the highest-level visitors.
After the banquet, Cui Shihao personally arranged Xu Shiye and his party and sent him to the guest room for rest. He personally accompanied him to the place and arranged the servants to serve tea and water, Cui Shihao said goodbye and left. As for the iron cavalry led by Xiong Kuohai, he was naturally arranged by Cui Shihao to the outer compartment of the guest room.
Regarding Cui Shihao's trip to Qinghe City tomorrow, what should be said has been basically explained before. It involves the relationship between the Cui family and Xu Shiye, which is equivalent to the "anti-Sui Dahao". Cui Shihao, who is not a low identity in the Cui Shi family, is actually not qualified to talk too much. Therefore, Cui Shihao is quite self-aware and does not speak too much.
At present, Qinghe City has just been occupied by Dou Jiande's troops for a short time, and it is still in the stage of war between the two armies being on the verge of conflict. Therefore, the guards and inspections of Qinghe City will inevitably be extremely strict, and the time limit for the city gate opening and closing must also be strictly stipulated, which is likely to be the limited opening of the daytime.
Cui Shihao went there for more than a hundred miles, and not to mention that for such a major matter, Cui Jinglong, the head of the city, must also ask clearly, consider it clearly, and arrange it carefully, so it is very unlikely that Cui Shihao will return on that day. But as the head of the world's wealthy family, as long as Qinghe City is not completely besieged, it should be easy for the family members to enter and exit Qinghe City.
After Cui Shihao said goodbye and left, it was actually the time to hold the lights in the winter when night fell earlier. Before bedtime came, Xu Shiye sat with Yang Shanhui and Yang Yuanhong in the main hall of the guest room, drinking tea and chatting some gossip...
During the chat, Xu Shiye accidentally remembered the "Green Ears" mentioned by the young man Cui Hengxue, and asked Yang Shanhui and Yang Yuanhong casually.
"Oh! General Xu really forgot about this matter without mentioning this!" The first person to blurt out was Yang Shanhui, who had been an official in Qinghe for several years: "It's quite strange to think about it carefully! Haha! However, when I think about it again and compare the posture and appearance of the young master of the Cui family, I suddenly realized..."
If you understand, just say it! What kind of clues to buy for no reason? Xu Shiye, who was confused by Yang Shanhui, couldn't help but secretly resent in his heart.
"Green ears, green ears..., what I said was not from King Mu of Zhou's eight horses? In this way, it should be a good horse!" On the contrary, Yang Yuanhong, who seemed quite knowledgeable and knowledgeable, pondered at Yang Shanhui.
"What my brother said is very true! This 'green ear' should be a good horse." After nodding, Yang Shanhui continued:
"I have been an official in Qinghe for many years, so I have naturally heard that the old patriarch of the Cui family once spent a huge sum of 10,000 yuan to buy a rare horse that was just like the legendary "green ears" of the eight horses. However, what I was surprised at the time was: I also heard that the old patriarch of the Cui family gave this rare horse that was also named "green ears" to his beloved daughter grandson who had been loved as a gift for his birthday..."
"Ha, hehe! That's it, that's it! Brother Wei was also surprised at that time why the young master of the Cui family still had a flirtatious spirit, and the owner of the Cui family respected him quite much. It turned out that he was a female prince who was regarded as the bead by the old leader of the Cui family! Hehe!" Before Yang Shanhui finished speaking, Yang Yuanhong, who had already realized it suddenly, chuckled and said.
"The two adults said that 'Green Ear' is a horse? Then, that young man Cui Hengxue is a girl..." Instead, Xu Shiye opened his mouth in surprise for a moment, and asked in a daze. At this time, Xu Shiye also reacted: No wonder Cui Shihao always had a tail sound when he called 'nephew', and it turned out that the word 'female' was called 'female'!
"Natural, natural! Moreover, in my opinion, this female prince of the Cui family is quite interested in the general! Haha, ha!" Yang Shanhui's face showed a very ambiguous expression. He looked at Xu Shiye and replied with a chuckling.
"This, this, where is this? How could I..." Xu Shiye also felt the heat on his cheeks, his expression awkward, and his voice was sluggish. However, as soon as he said, he suddenly thought: Is this statement from Yang Shanhui really possible?
Nothing else, Xu Shiye recalled the attack on him and the daughter of Cui...
In the early morning, Xu Shiye, who was young and unavoidably restless, got up early when the morning light first appeared, and practiced his weapons in the courtyard with the frost flowers all over the ground and the Xiongkuohai who also got up early.
It’s true that after months of supervision and persistent practice, Xu Shiye’s skill level has indeed improved dramatically, and the use of the magic weapon “口机” has become more slew of style, and the movement is so strong that Xu Shiye can’t help but feel endless gratitude and longing for Dou Shiny, who has been separated from each other for a month.
But it has to be said that Xu Shiye is still incomparable to the current situation compared to Xiong Kuohai, who has been hard work and diligently practiced since childhood. If Xiong Kuohai has accumulated strength and only used three points of strength, Xu Shiye can barely resist thirty or twenty moves; if Xiong Kuohai has made all his strength, Xu Shiye may be able to resist three or five moves, and he does not dare to fight with Xiong Kuohai's weapons head-on, so he can only dodge and unleash his strength.
There is no way, Xiong Kuohai’s great power is born with. Until now, not only Xu Shiye himself, but also Xu Shiye heard or saw, but never had anyone who could compete with Xiong Kuohai in terms of strength.
Xu Shiye thought to himself: In this life, he should not imagine being able to withstand Xiong Kuohai's full-strength attack head-on! If he wants to see someone who can compete with Xiong Kuohai in strength in this life, he can only hope that Pei Xingyan (Pei Yuanqing in Unofficial History) can do it!
