Back Off, Let Me Come

Chapter 1138 Chapter 1138: Damage to the house (Part 1) [Asking for monthly votes]

The man seemed not to have expected that the king would summon him at this time, and asked in his usual slow and whispering tone: "Is there something important?"

The waiter's smile seemed to be extremely flattering, but in fact he pushed back the man's words without mercy: "How can I dare to guess your superior's intentions?"

 The specific things will naturally have to wait until the man comes over to find out.

The man glanced at the sky. There were only wisps of afterglow left by the golden crow, and most of the sky was stained with ink. He worriedly warned his son on his side: "Take good care of your mother. Being a father will be back in as little as one hour, and as long as two hours."

　　This was said to my son, but someone else really listened.

 “There is no need to rush so quickly. When the leader of a country summons his most important ministers during a meal, he should leave a meal for the sake of emotion and reason.”

The waiter had a pair of triangular eyes with hanging tips. The eyeballs were relatively small. When he stared at people, he had an indescribable gloomy temperament, as if he was being targeted by a poisonous snake. He squinted at the woman with his peripheral vision and said dissatisfiedly: "Mr. Cui, which female member of the family is this? How can a mere woman discuss the dignity of the head of the country?"

The atmosphere became inexplicably anxious and tense.

 The man said: "It's my wife."

The chamberlain gave in appropriately, and then wondered: "I heard that Mr. Cui has been single for many years. Is this your new wife? Congratulations!"

 The words of congratulations are spoken on the mouth, but there is no sincerity in the eyes.

 When he lowered his head and frowned, there was a flash of disdain and ridicule in his eyes. I don't know what kind of temper Cui has. Many aristocratic families in the capital wanted to send their beautiful daughters to his bed, but he refused them all, so he chose such a rustic old woman instead.

"I have never been single, and she is not a new wife." The man passed the chamberlain and got into the carriage, and said softly, "You are an old man serving the emperor. You should know that being carefree will hinder your future."

It's good if it only hinders your future, but it's not good if it hinders your life span.

When the chamberlain heard this, the nerves around his eyes twitched unnaturally, his thin lips were pursed tightly, and the anger from his triangular-shaped eyes was even stronger.

He responded unnaturally: "What Mr. Cui said is true."

As the carriage picking up people from the palace was only a small spot at the end of the street, the young man frowned and said angrily: "That **** just now was really looking for death! Do you really think that serving in front of the emperor is nothing? Provoking Mistress Cui in front of his father , it’s really…”

 The woman interrupted what her son was about to say.

He said displeasedly: "Why is your father so passionate?"

 How many years have they been away from each other?

Is that piece of He Li Shu a piece of waste paper?

The young man restrained his murderous aura and said softly: "Father also doesn't want you to be looked down upon by a eunuch. Even if you are divorced, you are not the mistress of the Cui family, but also the biological mother of the future Cui family. If a **** humiliates you, isn't it humiliating his son? Father?"

The woman said: "If he kills people, don't use me as a raft."

In the eyes of outsiders, my ex-husband should be a polite scholar. When I first met him, I felt that this man's daily life consisted of burning incense, drinking tea, listening to the rain, playing the piano, drinking wine and playing chess with friends in his free time, and meeting friends when he was interested. I went to Houyue in the middle of the night to find the quiet place.

 In fact?

 The murderous nature is hidden under this skin.

 What he just said was undeniable to defend himself, but what was the main purpose? The Cui family and the leader of Qi State did not have an indestructible alliance. Occasionally expressing dissatisfaction was also a means to make allies pay attention to their discretion. The more the woman thought about it, the less interesting it became. She said slightly tiredly, "I'm tired. Let's prepare the guest room."

 The young man trotted to follow.

　　murmured: "How can I let my mother stay in the guest room?"

The woman ignored her son's nagging at all and raised her finger to point at Shen Tang: "Look at your cleverness. Wait for me first and learn from it. Then you won't be in a hurry when you serve the queen in the future."

 The young man’s steps became more hurried.

 “Mother, my son has made arrangements...”

　What greeted the young man was the door slamming shut.

Had he not reacted quickly, the closed door would have pinched his nose. Feeling disappointed, the young man stamped his feet anxiously outside, feeling so aggrieved that he started to cry: "Mother, mother—"

It’s just that the mother dislikes the father, why does she still dislike him?

 He begged and called without knocking on the door, but instead heard the footsteps gradually receding in the courtyard. Seeing that there was no room for change, the young man could only slump his shoulders in frustration and look back three times. After passing the corner of the corridor, there is no grievance on the young boy's slightly immature face.

Those eyes that resembled his father's were misty, but through the mist you could see the coldness in them, like a cold pool.

 “That eunuch, let him die!”

 There seemed to be a figure moving in the darkness.

　　A vague response sounded in the air: "After all, he is from the Imperial Palace."

The young man slowly took out his handkerchief and wiped away the glistening water from the corners of his eyes due to emotion: "So what if you are in front of the emperor? Do you really think that a **** who has been the king's mouthpiece for a few times is the same as the king? A useless abandoned child. , just kill him."

 “But on the parents’ side…”

"Do you think he will stop me?" A sneer escaped from the young man's mouth, "If this is the case, it is normal to be abandoned. That face is not fresh enough to retain people, and now even the brain is soaked. I have written a lot of poems about family complaints, Did he give one away?"

Dark Guard: “…”

—

The woman sighed: "Let me just say, sooner or later, problems will arise in the education of a family like Cui's, and it can drive everyone crazy."

After shutting her son out, the woman did not walk away directly, but winked at Shen Tang. With Shen Tang's help, the two secretly listened in the corner and unexpectedly saw another side of her son that was rarely seen. Shen Tang asked: "Kewu, is your son's mental state okay?"

 “It should be okay.”

 There is no worry on the woman’s face.

  Shen Tang: “…”

 Then he looked at the woman with great confusion and asked a question he had been holding back for a long time: "Kewu, how did you recognize me?"

 The woman is Cui Hui, Cui Kewu.

Cui Hui confessed: "I thought you were Miao Ximin."

  Shen Tang: “…”

Cui Hui: "But considering that Miao Ximin's character cannot do the things you did, I guessed that you are an internal agent arranged by Qi Yuanliang - the things sent by Lord Kang are too big, and it is unrealistic to expect me to complete them alone. , there must be help.”

 The "Miao Ximin" in her mouth is Miao Na.

Cui Hui walked with Miao Na for a while, and the two had a pleasant conversation, but they were afraid that her ex-husband would notice and part ways when they approached the border of Qi State. Miao Ne took another route and went around to find a suitable identity to meet him again. Cui Hui has been paying special attention to the strange women appearing around him these days. Everyone looks like Miao Ne. Having said this, Cui Hui became angry again.

 “The person named Cui is simply not a person.”

 “At my age, he can eat it all.”

 “He is really hungry…”

"Why did you come so late? If it had been earlier, I would have suffered less. Cui, who was on good terms with Li back then, now sees me as if he has caught an enemy. If I hadn't been so thick-skinned and refused to leave, I would have been killed long ago. He rushed out of Qi State and suffered the same crime!"

 Shen Tang then interjected: "Blast out of Qi country?"

Cui Hui nodded: "Yes, his people drove me away."

Since these people did not dare to do anything to him, Cui Hui refused to leave. When he saw his ex-husband, he exploded - they were strangers after they divorced. Could his surname Cui be the king of Qi State? Why don't you let yourself set foot in Qi country?

 She came to see her son and old mother. He has nothing to do with his surname Cui!

Cui Hui can enter the country only after a good talk.

Shen Tang guessed: "Maybe he knows your purpose?"

Cui Hui thought for a while: "This shouldn't be possible. In my opinion, there should be some conflict between the Cui family and the leader of the Qi State. He is worried that the leader of the Qi State will take me as a hostage. Although we have reconciled, I will be the next parent of the Cui family. So I have some value."

 “Why do you say that? Because of the chamberlain?”

Cui Hui said: "Yeah."

The chamberlain who serves the emperor is the mouthpiece of the king. Some words and attitudes that the king cannot express are usually left to the chamberlain. Cui Hui didn't believe that the leader of Qi State would show a bad attitude because of such an outrageous reason as jealousy.

 It is possible for ordinary people, but that woman is a rare female country leader in the world and a powerful leader. The love between children can only be adjusted, and it can be easily abandoned if it affects interests. No matter how popular the man named Cui was when he was young, he is now a two-handed man. How can the leader of the country be so mean for him?

Shen Tang chewed the words: "It makes sense."

 Her next words almost knocked Cui Hui out of his mind.

 “However, I am not an insider.”

Cui Hui: “…”

The moment he heard Shen Tang's words, Cui Hui threw out the dagger hidden in his sleeve without thinking. The sharp blade left a streak of white light in the darkness and stabbed directly into Shen Tang's eyes. She moved quickly, and Shen Tang's movements would only be faster. While capturing Cui Hui, he completed the second half of the sentence: "But I am Shen Youli, Cui Nujun is so brave!"

　　Cui Hui's dagger was thrown away because of the pain.

Shen Tang picked him up before he even hit the ground.

It seemed that he was afraid that Cui Huineng would fly away with wings. There were guards outside the courtyard, and the sound of weapons falling to the ground would alarm these people. In the darkness, laughter burst from Shen Tang's throat: "Nvjun Cui, it's really me, and I didn't mean to scare you."

Cui Hui suspected that he had tinnitus.

 What did you just hear?

 Who does this little girl in front of me say she is?

"you-"

 Shen Tang handed the dagger back to her: "Shen Youli."

Cui Hui: “…”

 She was dumbfounded.

Who would have thought that instead of staying in his own territory, the leader of Kang State actually went to Qi State and even walked around in front of the person named Cui. After Cui Hui was shocked, he gave a serious admonishment: "Do you know that a gentleman would not stand under a dangerous wall, let alone put himself in danger?"

Cui Hui was so shocked that he forgot to verify Shen Tang's identity.

Shen Tang said: "It's okay, I'm safe."

How can Cui Hui be trusted?

She repeatedly stressed the seriousness of the matter: "Master Shen, please don't underestimate Mr. Cui and Mr. Cui's current parents."

"I don't underestimate it. How could a man who can be chosen as a husband by Ke Wu be a mediocre person? It's just that my situation is a little special and I have to be like this." Shen Tang was vague about this experience. Cui Hui also knew better than to get to the bottom of the matter, "If the Cui family really has a conflict with the royal family..."

Then you can use the topic to your advantage.

 Cui Huidao: "It won't be an irreconcilable contradiction."

 At most, the two sides can get along for a while and then put aside their past grievances.

 Cooperation is also a process of mutual compromise.

  She knows her ex-husband too well, and there is only one possibility that can really make him flip the table - the harm of continuing to cooperate far outweighs the advantages, and the cooperating party is determined not to give in, seriously damaging Cui's interests.

My ex-husband was probably talking about this when he was called over.

Shen Tang said: "Don't be in a hurry, take your time."

 Be patient and you will always get a chance.

She also studied the situation of Qi State carefully. The leader of Qi State was stepping on the shoulders of her father and brother. The start is high and the explosive momentum is strong, but everything has its pros and cons. She took away the foundation of her father and brother and achieved today's great achievements, but she also lost the perfect opportunity to "break and then build", absorbing the good and bad of Qi Guo.

 Want to eradicate and strip away the bad ones in the future?

 Haha, it’s not that easy.

If Qi Guo is a physical body, the forces headed by Cui are a tumor that absorbs nutrients. Will this tumor absorb nutrients peacefully or worsen and threaten the life of the physical body?

 It is estimated that only the owner of the body knows best.

—

 The carriage slowly drove into the temporary palace.

 It is said to be a palace, but it is actually an exquisite house.

The original owner of the house encountered misfortune during the siege, and now he had asked the Lord of Hell for Meng Po soup. After the house was confiscated, it was packed up for the ruler of Qi State to stay. When the head of the Cui family arrived, candles were already lit in the main hall of the house.

 In addition to the king, there are also a number of familiar civil and military figures in the hall.

The head of the Cui family is sitting first on the lower left, opposite Mei Jinghe who has no expression. Perhaps it was the sequelae of the successful failure of the scribe's way, Mei Meng's eyebrows showed a little haggard. The head of the Cui family and his colleagues greeted him silently, and then nodded to Mei Meng, who rarely responded. But soon, some people with poor eyesight jumped out to make trouble for him: "Mr. Cui is really a big arrogant person. You asked me to wait here for you for more than an hour."

 “What are you waiting for Cui to do?”

The head of the Cui family currently only holds a false title. Every time I come here, it's just a routine. I don't want to make attendance too ugly. I only come five times out of ten at most. In fact, if you don’t come these five times, it won’t affect anything. He was really flattered that a group of people were waiting for him.

 “What are you waiting for? Does Mr. Cui not know?”

 “Please let me know, General.”

This sentence touched the opponent's pain point. He stood up and stared directly at the Cui family head with a pair of big copper bell eyes. The hatred bursting out of his eyes seemed to make him cramp, and the knuckles of his fists cracked loudly: "If it weren't for Cui Gong's secret instructions, how could they have the guts to act against the will? Is the Qi State the master, or is it your surname Cui?"

This question is a bit pointed.

The smile on Cui's family's lips disappeared completely: "General, has he drank too much yellow soup and is not clear-headed? The king is here, how dare you act so arrogantly! The Cui family is loyal to the king from top to bottom, and they are absolutely loyal! You are talking empty words and making no distinction. Throwing sewage on someone who is innocent is a destructive thing!"

"Can you be punished? Because your surname is Cui?"

 The quarrel between the two did not last.

“Why don’t we make room for you two to quarrel over the outcome?” The woman sitting upright hit the corner of the table with her cigarette in her hand, and there was a crisp thud, a silent threat like an invisible hand grabbing her throat. The military commander looked ugly and swallowed back the curse words.

 “I don’t dare!”

The head of the Cui family also bowed his head.

With a snap, the woman waved her hand and swept a simple book on the table in front of him: "Cui Qing, take a look, does it look familiar?"

  (_)

 In addition to the signature, you can still read it, but other words are like a dog crawling. So I thought of a way to write the signature first and practice the other sentences separately. Practice and write at the same time.
