The cannon fodder female supporting role is busy in the book, and she gets mad when she disagrees wi

Seeing that his younger brother insisted on going on a long journey and refused to bring anyone with him, Cui Yujie trusted Shi Lidie's words even more.

He thought for a moment and asked:

"Second brother, have you left the villa today and gone somewhere else?"

Cui Yuwei was stunned and asked:

"Did you hear someone say something, brother?"

After asking this, he remembered what Shi Lidie had said before, whether his brother would mistakenly think that he wanted to fight for the family property?

This is not okay.

He and his brother have had a good relationship since childhood, and they cannot let their relationship be hurt by such a misunderstanding.

So he took the initiative to explain:

"Brother, you are right. I did go out this morning and visited the famous 'Sooner or Later, the First Tavern'."

"But please rest assured, big brother. I didn't go there to buy alcohol or indulge myself. I don't have any other intentions. It's just that I have a friend who is very interested in the tavern business. I originally planned to buy Miss Shi's tavern and give it to my friend to run."

"It's just that Miss Shi's words woke me up and prevented me from making a mistake."

After hearing this, Cui Yujie became more interested in Shi Lidie and asked:

"How did Boss Shi wake you up?"

Afterwards, Cui Yuwei repeated Shi Lidie's lies.

One has to admit that although she was just fooling people, her words made a lot of sense to the Cui brothers, and they both agreed with her.

Therefore, Cui Yujie sighed:

"Boss Shi is a kind man."

"Brother is right. Miss Shi did not blame me for my abruptness. Instead, she advised me to be more careful in doing things. I will keep this in mind." Cui Yuwei nodded.

"Do you really have to go to Changyuan County?" Cui Yujie asked again.

"We must go." Cui Yuwei said firmly, "After all, this opportunity is rare."

"Okay, I got it. You pack up well and I'll see you off tomorrow." After Cui Yujie said this, he gave a few more instructions and left the villa.

Cui Yujie went straight back to the Cui family and found his father, Cui Dafu.

He told his father every word of his conversation with Shi Lidie today, and mentioned that his younger brother Cui Yuwei had gone to Shi Lidie to buy a tavern, and then said:

"Dad, Boss Shi is indeed a rare kind person."

"She did not get angry or hold a grudge against my second brother because of his impulsive behavior. Instead, she tried to persuade him kindly. She was also sincere in doing business with me and did not vent her anger on me because of my second brother's problem. After we closed the deal, she kindly reminded me that my second brother was in trouble recently, so we could prepare in advance."

"If my second brother returns safely this time, then our Cui family will owe Boss Shi a great favor."

Cui Dafu thought for a moment and said:

"Boss Shi reminded you privately instead of reminding your second brother in person. He must have known that your second brother is a scholar and a single-minded person, and would not believe it."

"Well, go find Cui San and ask him to gather the best people in the family and follow your brother out secretly tomorrow. If he is safe along the way, Cui San won't have to show up."

But if they really encounter trouble, Cui San bringing so many people with him is also a trump card.

"Yes, I'll do it right away." Cui Yujie responded with a bow.

***

Early in the morning.

The Cui family sent out two groups of people.

A group of people went to Shi Lidie's tavern, bringing a cart and enough silver and money. They exchanged the money and the goods as written in the contract.

Shi Lidie took the money, asked them to inspect the goods, and then loaded the wine, jar by jar, into the car and asked them to take it to Weixiangju.

Another group of people quietly followed the carriage of the second young master Cui Yuwei, left Luoyun Town, and headed towards Changyuan County.

Things developed just as described in the original book.

On the third day of the first lunar month, around noon, Cui Yuwei, with his servant boy and boy servant, arrived in Changyuan County. As long as they crossed the mountain in front, they would reach the county seat.

"Sir, there is no post station or tavern nearby, and there is no place to rest. But I see a lot of people making fire and cooking in the woods ahead, why don't we go and take a look?" Adong asked.

There are many inconveniences when you are away from home.

Fortunately, they had enough money with them, so it wouldn't be a problem for them to ask other people to buy some food.

Cui Yuwei nodded, and led the two into the forest, only to see more than twenty people sitting scattered in the open space in the forest.

Some were gathered together in groups of three or five to eat dry food, while others were lying alone under a tree with their eyes closed to rest.

The most exquisite one was a large family, a couple with four children, one of whom was still in swaddling clothes. They rode in a luxurious carriage and looked like rich people.

They brought servants and guards, about seven or eight people in total, who were busy making fire and cooking. The aroma filled the air and was very tempting.

It should have been a beautiful picture of human life, but the sudden change destroyed it all.

"I planted this tree, I built this road, if you want to pass by here, you have to leave money for passage!"

As soon as he finished speaking, a dozen burly men with knives rushed out of the woods and surrounded all the people resting on the ground.

Apart from the robbers, most of the people in the forest are ordinary people.

Only the guards brought by that big family had some martial arts skills, but the guards were few in number and could not compare with the ruthless bandits.

The two sides fought, and the guards quickly lost the upper hand.

Just when everyone thought they were doomed, Cui San showed up with nearly twenty good fighters, joined the battle, and together with the guards, subdued all the bandits.

"Second Young Master, I'm late and I'm sorry to have scared you." Cui San bowed to Cui Yuwei.

Now, everyone knew that the helper who suddenly appeared was Cui Yuwei's servant, so everyone came forward to express their gratitude.

As soon as Cui Yuwei saw Cui San, he knew that he was arranged by his brother to follow behind.

He couldn't help but admire his brother for taking precautions. If Cui San hadn't shown up in time, he probably wouldn't have survived to return—

Because he saw clearly that these criminals did not just want to steal money.

Although they did it in the name of robbery, they were ruthless and aimed at taking lives. If the guards were not capable, they would not have survived until Cui San and his men arrived.

"Cui San, you and your brothers will be responsible for guarding these bandits. When we arrive at Changyuan County, hand them over to the government office for handling." Cui Yuwei ordered.

"I will follow your instructions, sir." Cui San agreed.

Soon he got busy and took his men to tie up all the bandits with ropes.

The rope was also asked by the eldest son to be brought by him. Besides these, he also brought a lot of other things, such as weapons and medicines. The eldest son said that they might all be useful.

Unexpectedly, what the eldest master said came true.

Cui San distributed the medicine to the guards, which made people grateful.

The rich couple came over with their child in their arms and thanked Cui Yuwei. During their conversation, they found out that they were going to the same place.

The man said:

"My last name is Sun, and I am from Changyuan County. I was accompanying my wife and a few children to stay at my father-in-law's house. I didn't expect to encounter something like this on the way back."

"If it weren't for Brother Cui, I'm afraid our whole family would have died here. When we get to Changyuan County, I'll prepare some wine and treat Brother Cui well. Please don't refuse."
