Love for Three Lives: Cui Cui Rebirth
Chapter 60
Shen Hu didn't say a word about the competition, and let Long Tianze and Chi Rui do the daily training every day.
But Cui Cui seemed to be a little more worried after Tong Xiaotong's suggestion that day, she was afraid that Chi Rui would be in danger but still caring about her safety would mess up.
Seeing the days go by like this, the almanac in Cui Cui's hand quickly turned to the day of the competition.
Early this morning, Chi Rui came to the Governor's Mansion to look for Cui Cui, and leaned down against her stomach and said for a long time, "Xin'er, be good, dad will take you and mother home tonight..."
"So the prerequisite for bringing our mother and daughter home is that you are well." Cui Cui helped Chi Rui up, leaned her head gently on his shoulder, and said worriedly, "Miss Tong told me that the warlord You may use me and the child to disturb you, remember not to be impulsive, and you must protect yourself."
Hugging Cui Cui's waist back, Chi Rui dropped a kiss on her forehead, and solemnly promised, "I know, I will protect myself."
"Yeah." Cui Cui lay in his arms for a long time before she straightened up, "Go quickly."
After Chi Rui left the room, he went to Shen Hu's study, and Shen Hu and Long Tianze had already been waiting inside. Seeing him coming in, Shen Hu casually said a few words of encouragement, and took the two of them away from the warlord government.
The place for this competition is on the shooting range, so the first competition is naturally marksmanship.
The five fixed targets have different distances, plus five moving targets carried by people.
And Long Tianze and Chi Rui each had ten bullets in total, and they fired randomly. After all ten bullets were fired, it would be seen who had more hits.
Of course, moving targets naturally have higher scores than fixed targets, but the difficulty will also increase at the same time.
"drive--"
"drive--"
The two horses ran out together, Chi Rui held the gun and rushed towards the five moving targets without thinking, while Long Tianze fired several shots at the farthest one among the fixed targets Then he rode his horse to chase Chi Rui.
This is what Tong Xiaotong told him, seeking stability in danger.No matter what the competition is, first choose the one that you are more confident in, and then challenge the higher difficulty.
Shen Hu, who was sitting in the side stands, was a little surprised by Long Tianze's actions, and a hint of surprise flashed in his slightly narrowed eyes.
Then the people next to Shen Hu heard his warlord ask with a smile, "Who does Adjutant Long get closer to recently?"
Shen Hu knows Long Tianze too well, this calm look is not his character, someone must have said something to him.
Then the question arises, who is this person who can convince him?
"Who?" The man hesitated before answering, "It's nothing special. If I have to say it, it should be Ms. Tong Xiaotong. After Adjutant Long came back from the front line, she has been Adjutant Long's nurse and took care of him. a period of time."
"Tong Xiaotong? You mean the nurse who followed Wu Cuicui?" Shen Hu didn't have much impression of Tong Xiaotong.
"Yes." The subordinate nodded, and carefully reported the relationship between Tong Xiaotong and Cuicui, "This Miss Tong Xiaotong took care of Mrs. Chi when she went to the provincial capital for eye surgery before, and then came to Jincheng and became a The private nurse of the second young master of the Cheng family, she has been staying in Jincheng since the second young master Cheng was imprisoned."
"Isn't it...too a coincidence?" Shen Hu became more and more curious about Tong Xiaotong after hearing about her.
First came into contact with Cuicui Chirui, and then came to Jincheng, so come here, and later, the second young master Cheng was arrested, so why stay?
After staying, he actually got involved with Long Tianze again...?
"Send someone to watch her." For coincidences, Shen Hu mostly didn't believe it, "I'll find someone to go to the provincial capital to check her background. I want more details."
"Yes--"
Ten rounds of bullets is not too much, so while Shen Hu and his subordinates were asking and answering, Chi Rui and Long Tianze had already rode back.
"warlord."
The two nodded to Shen Hu, and then handed over the guns in their hands together.
At the same time, the soldiers also reported the situation of the two being hit.
Chi Rui's ten bullets were used to shoot live targets, and he missed one shot, which means he hit nine shots.But Long Tianze's ten bullets did not miss, there were five shots on the fixed target, and five shots on the live target.
From the point of view of quantity alone, Long Tianze should have won, because he made no mistakes in ten shots, but in terms of accuracy, Chi Rui's result was better.
So Shen Hu waved his hand, next item!
It is said that talking about a hundred battles on paper is not as useful as a real practice.So in the second competition, each person has a team to attack the mountain.
On a hill outside the city, whoever takes off the red flag first wins.
After Shen Hu gave Chi Rui and Long Tianze the same weapons, ammunition and troops, he found a place to wait under the cliff and observed the situation with binoculars at any time.
This mountain is not very high, and it does not take time to go up, so the real difficulty is the group of people guarding the mountainside.
"To the sky!"
"To the sky?"
After seeing the leader of that group, both Chi Rui and Long Tianze exclaimed in disbelief.
And the man sitting on the ground with his head bowed slowly raised his head after hearing their voices, and it turned out that it was Xiang Tian who was still in prison not long ago.
"Boom, boom—"
"Stop you, in exchange for my freedom." Xiang Tian plunged the dagger into the dirt on the ground, pulled out a gun from his waist, and shot at their feet, "I won't show mercy, come on. Bar."
Xiang Tian could give up his hatred for Shen Hu for Ling Xue and You You, but he couldn't stay and face him.
So Shen Hu promised him not long ago that as long as Xiang Tian can prevent the two of them from winning this competition, Shen Hu will agree to take his wife and daughter away.
Such conditions are really attractive.
"hidden--"
Xiang Tian has been in Qingfeng Mountain all year round, and he is very familiar with the terrain in the mountains and forests. It can be said that fighting in this kind of place is simply his strong point, so Chi Rui immediately ordered his men to find cover, and at the same time set up their guns and be ready at any time.
"Hello, Chi Rui." Long Tianze, who was hiding behind a tree on the other side, gestured to Chi Rui.
After all, they have been on the battlefield together, and there is still a tacit understanding at this critical moment. Chi Rui saw that what he wanted to express was 'cooperation', so he nodded.
Anyway, now Xiangtian has an advantage, Chi Rui and Long Tianze will not suffer from cooperation.
Seeing that Chi Rui agreed, Long Tianze subconsciously chuckled, and sure enough, Tong Xiaotong guessed right again!
She had told Long Tianze that she could cooperate with Chi Rui when necessary, so that the duel would come after the immediate predicament was resolved first.
"Tong Xiaotong, who are you?" Long Tianze was delighted but also a little worried, this Tong Xiaotong doesn't look like an easy-going lamp!
At the same time, in the governor's mansion, Tong Xiaotong, who was being naughty by Long Tianze, sneezed several times in a row.
"Have you caught a cold?" Cui Cui put down the clothes she made for Xin'er, and reached out to touch Tong Xiaotong's forehead, "Why do you keep sneezing?"
"Someone is probably talking about me." Tong Xiaotong smiled indifferently, pointed to the clothes in Cuicui's hand and said, "You have made so many girls' clothes, what if it is a boy?"
"If it's a boy, don't you still have He'er and Ning'er's clothes to wear?" Cui Cui continued to arrange the girl's clothes in her hands, "Anyway, be prepared, and Chi Rui and I both think that this baby will definitely be born." It's going to be a girl."
Tong Xiaotong pursed her lips, touched Cui Cui's stomach and said, "Baby, tell Auntie, are you a boy or a girl?"
"Hehe—" Cui Cui chuckled lightly, "He never told me whether he was a boy or a girl, so how could he tell you?"
As soon as Cuicui finished speaking, a maid came in with a bowl of medicine, "Miss Chi, it's time to drink medicine."
"Oh, good." Cui Cui took the medicine in the tray and blew it twice, then drank it all, and returned the empty bowl to the maid, "Thank you."
"Who are you?" Tong Xiaotong grabbed her wrist just in time before the maid turned around to go out, a slight flash of defense flashed in her eyes, "Isn't the second lady's personal maid who usually comes to deliver the medicine? Why did you change someone today?"
During this period of time in Cuicui's Governor's Mansion, besides Huan'er and Tong Xiaotong, Yurong's personal maids came more often. It's no wonder that Tong Xiaotong was a little surprised when someone suddenly changed.
Even though Tong Xiaotong caught this maid, she was not afraid at all, and said calmly, "This is what the governor asked me to send."
"Overseer?" Tong Xiaotong frowned suddenly, and asked vigilantly, "What the hell is this? Why did the Overseer suddenly ask you to bring the anti-fetal medicine?"
Hearing Tong Xiaotong's question, Cui Cui also became tense, and there seemed to be a faint pain in her lower abdomen.
Just at this time, the servant girl answered Cui Cui and Tong Xiaotong's question, "This is not an anti-fetal drug, it is an oxytocin specially ordered by the warlord..."
"Bam—"
Tong Xiaotong suddenly held the maid's hand, and pushed her to the ground. The bowl on the tray also smashed to the ground and broke, "Obtronics? Is the governor going to gamble with the lives of their mother and child?"
The maid was not angry at being treated so rudely by Tong Xiaotong, but slowly got up from the ground, raised her head and said calmly, "Please don't worry, Mrs. Chi, the warlord has found the best doctor to wait, and I won't let you and Your child is in danger, as long as Staff Chi wins the ongoing competition, the doctor will arrive immediately."
As long as Chi Rui wins, the doctor will be here right away?What if you don't win?
Before Cui Cui had time to carefully comprehend the meaning of her words, the bursts of pain in her abdomen made her scream, "Ah——, Xiaotong, I, I really want to give birth. "
"Lie down quickly." Tong Xiaotong supported Cui Cui to lie down, and then yelled at the maid in a cold voice, "Get out!"
This bowl of labor-inducing medicine is very strong. Although I just drank it just now, the reaction was very violent.
Cui Cui was lying on the bed, exerting all her strength when she felt the pain, but at the same time it was accompanied by bursts of screams, "Ah——"
"Don't be afraid, the baby is full-term. Anyway, the due date is in the next few days. You will be fine." Tong Xiaotong wiped the sweat from Cuicui's forehead while holding her hand tightly to encourage her .
"what--"
Cui Cui tried her best to respond to Tong Xiaotong, but opened her mouth again with a heart-piercing scream...
After ordering Huan'er to go to the outskirts of the city to inform Chi Rui of the situation here and asking Yurong to find someone to help prepare things for production, Tong Xiaotong turned back to the room.
While Cui Cui was still awake, Tong Xiaotong said calmly, "Cui Cui, listen to me. Now I can't find a doctor or Mrs. Xiang, so I have to come by myself. I only did postpartum care before, and I didn't I have never delivered a baby myself, but I also knew about it when I was studying. You have given birth to two sons, do you still remember the methods those midwives taught you?"
Cui Cui nodded slightly, "I, I can."
"Cry out if it hurts, don't bear it." Tong Xiaotong has never given birth to a child, but seeing Cui Cui's pale face, she knew that it must be very difficult. She quickly helped Cui Cui's pants take off, and took a deep breath Taking a breath, try to calm yourself down.
Yu Rong stood guard outside the door, also very anxious.
This time, Shen Hu should have made up his mind. She asked many people to call the doctor, but they were all blocked, and Ling Xue disappeared early in the morning.
Now only Huan'er, the maid who went to Chi Rui, could get out of the Governor's Mansion.
On the hillside in the outskirts, the number of Long Tianze and Chi Rui was much smaller than that of Xiangtian, but their cooperation in two groups was not bad, temporarily balancing the situation.
After Huan'er stumbled to the suburbs, it was Chi Rui's adjutant Ah Si who saw her first, "Huan'er? What are you doing here so well?"
"Huhu——" Huan'er ran away in a hurry, panting for a long time before she could say a complete sentence, "The young mistress drank the medicine to induce labor, and the warlord refused to ask for a doctor, saying that the young master won the competition before he could invite a doctor. "
Ah Si did not participate in the competition this time, he glanced in Shen Hu's direction, and found that Shen Hu was also looking at him with a calm expression, and even nodded slightly.
"I'll go find the young master." Ah Si had followed Chi Rui for so long, so he naturally knew what he was thinking, so he left Huan'er and ran up the hillside.
Not only did Shen Hu not stop him, but he also looked at it with a smile on his face, as if he had expected it a long time ago.
When Ah Si ran halfway up the mountain, Chi Rui had an ominous premonition when he saw him, "What happened?"
After repeating Huan'er's words, Ah Si also pulled out the gun from his waist and joined the battle, "Master, let's fight quickly. We can wait, but young mistress can't wait."
Long Tianze, who was hiding on the other side, was a little surprised to see Chi Rui suddenly increase his firepower, "Is this kid crazy?"
"Adjutant Long, it seems that Young Mistress Chi is about to give birth." A soldier with a binoculars said, "Just now I saw someone coming up from the bottom of the mountain, so I went over to take a look. It's Chief Chi's follower Ah Si."
"Is it about to give birth?" Although Long Tianze didn't know when Cui Cui's due date was, it couldn't be such a coincidence, could it?Just at this juncture?
"Someone went down again." The soldier with the binoculars looked down the mountain, "It seems to be Ah Si."
"Ah Si?" Long Tianze became even more confused, grabbed the binoculars and pointed it at the mountainside. After seeing the man's back clearly, a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, "That's Chi Rui."
What the hell is attacking the mountain? Chi Rui heard that something happened to Cuicui, so why would he want to compete?
Putting on Ah Si's clothes, Chi Rui ran down the mountain all the way with his head down, bypassing Shen Hu and the others, went straight to the rear, took a horse and rushed to the Governor's Mansion.
"Overseer, Chi staffed him—"
"Let him go." Shen Hu interrupted the soldiers with a wave of his hand, "This competition is to see who can conquer this mountain first, it doesn't matter whether the commander himself goes up or not."
"Ah?" The soldier who came to report was a little surprised.
not important?Isn't today the time for Staff Chi and Adjutant Long to compete on who will be the next warlord?Is it really unimportant that Chief Staff Chi just left?
After Chi Rui left, Ah Si presided over the battle for him, but slowly, he discovered that Long Tianze's side had turned off.
Just when Ah Si was puzzled, Long Tianze suddenly signaled his subordinates to shout to Xiang Tian, "General Xiang, Adjutant Long said that if he becomes the warlord, he can still let you and Madam Xiang leave. This is not the best of both worlds." Is it?"
Sometimes, fighting to the death is not the best result.
Moreover, both sides of the confrontation are soldiers of the Shen army, and neither of them has the heart to fight ruthlessly, so the battle has continued until now, only to consume ammunition.
It is better to attack the heart than to flow blood into rivers.
After hearing what Long Tianze and the others shouted, Xiangtian's side also gradually turned off the fire.
"Xiang Tian, think about it for yourself, the warlord wants you to stop us, can you really stop Chi Rui and me?" After the gunfire stopped, Long Tianze's voice was very clear, "Why don't you help me win, I can also let you and my cousin go, how about it?"
What Shen Huhe once said to Cui Cui was not unreasonable, the position of warlord symbolizes the ruler of Jincheng, and his words can decide a person's life or death.
Now Shen Hu is the warlord, so he can control Xiangtian's freedom, and even decide the life and death of Cuicui's mother and son.
But one day he is not it?
Then the newly appointed warlord is the real master of this city!
"Xiang Tian, I'll give you half an hour to think about it." Long Tianze took out his pocket watch and glanced at it, "After half an hour, if there is a war or a peace, you give me the answer."
This half an hour tormented the hearts of everyone on both sides of the confrontation.
But at the same time, Chi Rui's heart was in his throat.
He rode his horse all the way to the governor's mansion, knocked down a few guards blocking the door, and rushed in. Fortunately, those guards didn't shoot when they saw him.
"Rui'er, why are you here?" Yu Rong, who was waiting in the hall, greeted Chi Rui as soon as he saw him, "Didn't you compete with Tianze in the outskirts of the city?"
"Where's Cuicui? Is the doctor here?" Chi Rui asked eagerly, "How is she doing?"
"She's on the second floor." Yu Rong didn't look anxious at the moment, but comforted Chi Rui, "The doctor came after Huan'er left the mansion to look for you."
Shen Hu is not a fool, if Cui Cui and the child are really killed, Chi Rui will definitely turn against him, all he wants is to give Chi Rui a stimulus.
So when his confidant saw Huan'er running out anxiously, he took the doctor to Cuicui's room.
"I'll go and see her." Chi Rui nodded to Yu Rong and ran to the second floor, although he had roughly guessed what Shen Hu meant now, since he came back, he should go and accompany Cui Cui.
In the corridor on the second floor, as soon as Chi Rui walked over, he heard screams and a strong smell of blood coming from one of the rooms.
"Cui Cui—" Now he didn't care about anything else, Chi Rui immediately opened the door and went in.
In the room, two midwives were squatting beside the bed, and a doctor was pressing Cui Cui's bent knee, while Tong Xiaotong held Cui Cui's hand tightly and wiped the pimples on her forehead. sweat.
Seeing Chi Rui's sudden appearance, Tong Xiaotong was taken aback for a moment, "Why are you here?"
"Cui Cui." Chi Rui ignored Tong Xiaotong, sat on the other side of the bed and held Cui Cui's other hand, "I'm back, don't be afraid, I'm here."
Chi Rui just glanced at it and was shocked by the blood on the bed. When Cui Cui gave birth to Heer last time, he waited for the servants to finish the treatment before entering the delivery room. Now he personally saw this blood dripping. Only then did I know how difficult it is to have a child.
"Chi Rui?" The familiar temperature in her palm brought back Cui Cui's rationality, she turned her head slightly, and said with difficulty, "Why did you come in? This is the delivery room, get out quickly."
"I'll stay here with you." Chi Rui smiled slightly, and leaned into Cui Cui's ear and said, "Xin'er is our two children, there's no reason to let you suffer alone."
His firm voice was like a reassurance, and Cui Cui's heart suddenly felt warm, "Chi Rui—"
"Young Mistress, hurry up, you can see the baby's head." The midwife said excitedly, "It will come out soon."
When Cui Cui listened to the midwife's words, her sharp fingertips involuntarily left deep scratches on the hands of Chi Rui and Tong Xiaotong, "Ah——"
"Wow-"
Finally, after a long while, a crisp cry sounded in the room.
When Chi Rui turned around in surprise, the midwife just picked up the baby, "Congratulations to Staff Officer Chi, congratulations to Young Mistress Chi, she is a daughter."
Looking at Chi Rui and Cui Cui who were looking at and smiling at each other, Tong Xiaotong heaved a sigh of relief, "Phew, it's finally over."
Whether it's the child's difficult delivery or the competition given by Shen Hu, it's all over.
When the servants were tidying up the house, Cui Cui had already fallen asleep from exhaustion, and Chi Rui kept guarding her in the room with the child in her arms.
And Tong Xiaotong came to the gate of the Governor's Mansion and waited for others.
In the evening, Shen Hu finally came back with Long Tianze and Xiang Tian, Tong Xiaotong didn't ask about the result, but just saw the joyful expression on Long Tianze's face, he knew he had won.
When Shen Hu and Xiang Tian passed by Tong Xiaotong, he suddenly stopped and sized her up carefully.
"Overlord." Tong Xiaotong nodded to Shen Hu with neither humble nor overbearing, "Miss Chi, mother and daughter are safe."
"Mm." It took Shen Hu a long time to withdraw his gaze and lead the person in.
With his hands folded around his chest, Long Tianze slowly walked to her side, the smile on his mouth couldn't be concealed, "Tong Xiaotong, do you want to guess what the warlord told me just now?"
"What else can I say, saying all this is actually a lesson for you, right?" Seeing Long Tianze's stunned look, Tong Xiaotong raised his chin triumphantly, "He is not the one you have admired the most since you were young. The object? Why don't you understand his mind at all?"
"You—" Long Tianze's astonishment was indescribable, why does this Tong Xiaotong look like a monster?
The result of the peace negotiation between him and Xiang Tian just now was naturally successful, so with Xiang Tian's help, he climbed to the top of the mountain first and won the game.
But when he went back to find Shen Hu with the chess pieces, Shen Hu gave him an even bigger surprise!
Shen Hu said, "Tianze, in fact, you have always been my most valued successor. I never thought of letting Chi Rui or Xiang Tian take over from me, do you understand?"
Is Shen Hu a person who likes to do useless work?Of course not!
If he really wanted Chi Rui to take over his position, then what was his careful cultivation of Long Tianze all these years?
Marching and fighting is not growing flowers in a greenhouse, and being an heir is not enough just to rely on his personal guidance.
Long Tianze must be given enough blows and tempers so that he can grow into a qualified heir by himself. This is Shen Hu's ultimate goal.
When Shen Hu said, "Tianze, the lesson I gave you was very profound, right?", Long Tianze was completely relieved.
An excellent warlord must not only be able to march and deploy troops to judge people's hearts, but more importantly, he must be able to cultivate the next excellent successor.
But if Shen Hu surprised Long Tianze, Tong Xiaotong's shock to Long Tianze was even greater.
"How did you know?" Long Tianze asked, grabbing her wrist, "Tong Xiaotong, I realized that I really underestimated you."
"How do I know? Heh, sixteen characters." Under the setting sun, Tong Xiaotong raised a bright smile, "Onlookers are clear, authorities are confused. Comparing your heart with your heart, empathize with yourself."
Tong Xiaotong's smile was always contagious, and Long Tianze couldn't help laughing too.
Holding her hand and pulling her into his arms, Long Tianze tried his best to deepen the hug, "Thank you——"
How long is three months?
It has been a long time since Jincheng has undergone earth-shaking changes.
Shen Hu resigned from his position, formally handed Shen Jun over to Long Tianze, and appointed Chi Rui to continue as a staff officer and was awarded a military rank. After that, he took Yu Rong to find a suburban house for retirement.
But Ling Xue and Xiang Tian decided to leave.
Long Tianze's first order after he became the warlord was to relieve Xiang Tianhe of his position and ask him to take Ling Xue and Youyou away.
In front of the platform, Cui Cui hugged Ling Xue reluctantly, and carefully reminded her, "Take care of yourself, your health is not good, and remember not to get separated from Xiang Tian when you are outside. I am really worried about you..."
"Sister, you are the one. Now you have to take care of three children. You are much more tired than me." Ling Xue took out a jade pendant from her arms and handed it to Cui Cui. "This pendant is custom-made by me. It is engraved with A word 'he', you bring it to Heer, it is the proof of Heer and Yoyo's engagement."
Cui Cui took the jade pendant and smiled a little embarrassedly, "What, shouldn't my mother-in-law prepare such things?"
"My heart is so noisy now, as a younger sister, I naturally have to be considerate of my elder sister." Ling Xue glanced at Xiang Tian and You You who were not far away, and smiled knowingly, "Sister, I am already very happy, Thank you."
"Have a safe trip." After sending you off for a long distance, there will be a farewell. Cui Cui couldn't help her eyes getting hot when she saw Ling Xue and Xiang Tian's family of three embracing each other.
The happiness that they could not get in the previous life, they finally got it in this life.
Recently, it seemed destined to be the day of parting. After Xiang Tian and Ling Xue left, Tong Xiaotong also decided to leave.
Cui Cui hugged He Er to see her off, "Oh, Ling Xue is gone, now you have to go too, I will be left alone in the future."
Cui Cui doesn't have many friends, Ling Xue is one, and now Tong Xiaotong is also one.
"Who said that?" Tong Xiaotong squeezed He'er's smiling face, and said with a light smile, "You have Chi Rui, and three children, why are you alone?"
"When are you coming back?" Cui Cui sneaked a sidelong glance at Long Tianze who was blustering at the side, lowered her voice and approached Tong Xiaotong's ear, "Also, do you have any interest in him? If so, Then tell him frankly."
"I don't know either." Tong Xiaotong shook his head slightly distressed, "Maybe I can find the answer after I leave this time and come back."
At the beginning, when Tong Xiaotong first met Long Tianze, he hated him, then he had some sympathy for him, and in the end, he seemed to be moved by his deep affection.
Knowing that Cuicui only has Chi Rui in his heart, he still loves her as always.
There is an old saying that all men in the world are unlucky, but the few people Tong Xiaotong met after coming to Jincheng, Xiang Tian, Chi Rui, and Long Tianze, are all long-term lovers.
To be honest, if she hadn't had to leave because of something, she would really be reluctant to stay here.
"I hope you can think about it clearly." Cui Cui patted Tong Xiaotong's shoulder lightly, "The journey is smooth, the scenery in Guangzhou is nice, and it's good to relax."
In her previous life, Cui Cui was fortunate to have been to Guangzhou once, and the scenery there was indeed much wider compared to Jincheng.
"Have you been to Guangzhou?" Hearing Cuicui's words, Tong Xiaotong's eyes flashed with surprise.
"Uh—" Chi Rui was not far away, Cui Cui didn't say anything, "Forget it, let's do it."
Tong Xiaotong fell silent suddenly, stared at Cui Cui for a long time, then opened his hands to give her a hug, and left a word in her ear by the way——
She said, "Wu Cuicui, do you believe that China will have a new tomorrow?"
Tong Xiaotong's voice was soft, but it seemed to reach Cuicui's heart directly through Cuicui's ears...
This is not the first time Cui Cui has heard such words, and she also understands what such words represent.
After finishing speaking, Tong Xiaotong didn't care about Cui Cui who was still in a daze, and walked directly to the carriage with the suitcase.
"Ugh-"
The heavy whistle sound pulled back Cui Cui Piaoyuan's thoughts, seeing that the train was about to start, there was only one thought in her subconscious mind for a moment, and that was that Tong Xiaotong couldn't just leave like this.
Cui Cui wants to ask clearly!
To ask why she would say that sentence?
Want to know who she is?
Handing He'er in her arms to Chi Rui, Cui Cui ran forward recklessly, grabbed Tong Xiaotong's wrist a second before she stepped on the train, and asked slightly panting, "Tong Xiaotong, what did you just say?" mean?"
"Young Mistress?" Tong Xiaotong was obviously startled by Cui Cui, "You—"
"Tell me first, are you going to listen to Mr. Sun's speech when you go to Guangzhou this time?" Cui Cui pulled her to the side, leaned in front of her and asked in a low voice, "Are you...?"
"I——" Tong Xiaotong originally asked that question just now, but after seeing Cuicui's reaction, she was relieved and nodded generously, "As you guessed it, my trip to Guangzhou this time is indeed For Mr. Sun's speech, the reason why I asked you that question is because..."
After a short pause, Tong Xiaotong looked at Cui Cui with firmer eyes, "It's because I think you will become the same person as me."
"Of course." Cui Cui nodded in surprise, with a confident smile on her lips, "Your belief is my belief, and of course we will become the same people."
In her previous life, Cui Cui met a teacher when she was teaching. He was a revolutionary party member. Because of his introduction, Cui Cui also had a certain understanding of revolution. .
As early as Cui Cui saw Tong Xiaotong at the Lantern Festival, she had a faint feeling that this girl was not simple.
Sure enough, the woman's premonition was accurate, and Tong Xiaotong's identity really gave Cui Cui a huge shock, but it was also a surprise in disguise.
"Xiaotong, let me go to Guangzhou with you. I missed it once and was unable to listen to Mr. Sun's speech. This time I want to listen to it." Cuicui said sincerely, holding her hand.
"It's okay, it's just..." Tong Xiaotong cast a guilty glance at Chi Rui who was walking this way with Heer in his arms, "Are you sure Staff Chi will agree?"
"Yes." Cui Cui forgot that she was not alone in this life, "Chi Rui doesn't know about this yet."
"I don't know what?" Chi Rui's voice suddenly rang in Cui Cui's ears, "Cui Cui, the train is about to leave, how long are you going to hold Miss Tong?"
After his reminder, Tong Xiaotong saw that there were very few people on the platform, "Cui Cui, I'm leaving first, and I'll talk to you when I have something to say."
Watching the train go away, Long Tianze also came over, "Miss Chi, you seem to know Tong Xiaotong very well?"
This is the first time that Long Tianze has called Cui Cui so correctly since we have known each other for so long. Chi Rui immediately asked in a good mood, "Yes, who is she?"
Cui Cui stared ahead, without giving the two of them the slightest look, but calmly dropped a bomb, "Revolutionary Party."
Chi Rui and Long Tianze knew exactly what a revolutionary party was. Cuicui's answer made them frowned deeply, and they asked in unison, "How do you know?"
"Because..." Cui Cui's tone was so long that she chuckled after a long time, "Because I am too."
But Cui Cui seemed to be a little more worried after Tong Xiaotong's suggestion that day, she was afraid that Chi Rui would be in danger but still caring about her safety would mess up.
Seeing the days go by like this, the almanac in Cui Cui's hand quickly turned to the day of the competition.
Early this morning, Chi Rui came to the Governor's Mansion to look for Cui Cui, and leaned down against her stomach and said for a long time, "Xin'er, be good, dad will take you and mother home tonight..."
"So the prerequisite for bringing our mother and daughter home is that you are well." Cui Cui helped Chi Rui up, leaned her head gently on his shoulder, and said worriedly, "Miss Tong told me that the warlord You may use me and the child to disturb you, remember not to be impulsive, and you must protect yourself."
Hugging Cui Cui's waist back, Chi Rui dropped a kiss on her forehead, and solemnly promised, "I know, I will protect myself."
"Yeah." Cui Cui lay in his arms for a long time before she straightened up, "Go quickly."
After Chi Rui left the room, he went to Shen Hu's study, and Shen Hu and Long Tianze had already been waiting inside. Seeing him coming in, Shen Hu casually said a few words of encouragement, and took the two of them away from the warlord government.
The place for this competition is on the shooting range, so the first competition is naturally marksmanship.
The five fixed targets have different distances, plus five moving targets carried by people.
And Long Tianze and Chi Rui each had ten bullets in total, and they fired randomly. After all ten bullets were fired, it would be seen who had more hits.
Of course, moving targets naturally have higher scores than fixed targets, but the difficulty will also increase at the same time.
"drive--"
"drive--"
The two horses ran out together, Chi Rui held the gun and rushed towards the five moving targets without thinking, while Long Tianze fired several shots at the farthest one among the fixed targets Then he rode his horse to chase Chi Rui.
This is what Tong Xiaotong told him, seeking stability in danger.No matter what the competition is, first choose the one that you are more confident in, and then challenge the higher difficulty.
Shen Hu, who was sitting in the side stands, was a little surprised by Long Tianze's actions, and a hint of surprise flashed in his slightly narrowed eyes.
Then the people next to Shen Hu heard his warlord ask with a smile, "Who does Adjutant Long get closer to recently?"
Shen Hu knows Long Tianze too well, this calm look is not his character, someone must have said something to him.
Then the question arises, who is this person who can convince him?
"Who?" The man hesitated before answering, "It's nothing special. If I have to say it, it should be Ms. Tong Xiaotong. After Adjutant Long came back from the front line, she has been Adjutant Long's nurse and took care of him. a period of time."
"Tong Xiaotong? You mean the nurse who followed Wu Cuicui?" Shen Hu didn't have much impression of Tong Xiaotong.
"Yes." The subordinate nodded, and carefully reported the relationship between Tong Xiaotong and Cuicui, "This Miss Tong Xiaotong took care of Mrs. Chi when she went to the provincial capital for eye surgery before, and then came to Jincheng and became a The private nurse of the second young master of the Cheng family, she has been staying in Jincheng since the second young master Cheng was imprisoned."
"Isn't it...too a coincidence?" Shen Hu became more and more curious about Tong Xiaotong after hearing about her.
First came into contact with Cuicui Chirui, and then came to Jincheng, so come here, and later, the second young master Cheng was arrested, so why stay?
After staying, he actually got involved with Long Tianze again...?
"Send someone to watch her." For coincidences, Shen Hu mostly didn't believe it, "I'll find someone to go to the provincial capital to check her background. I want more details."
"Yes--"
Ten rounds of bullets is not too much, so while Shen Hu and his subordinates were asking and answering, Chi Rui and Long Tianze had already rode back.
"warlord."
The two nodded to Shen Hu, and then handed over the guns in their hands together.
At the same time, the soldiers also reported the situation of the two being hit.
Chi Rui's ten bullets were used to shoot live targets, and he missed one shot, which means he hit nine shots.But Long Tianze's ten bullets did not miss, there were five shots on the fixed target, and five shots on the live target.
From the point of view of quantity alone, Long Tianze should have won, because he made no mistakes in ten shots, but in terms of accuracy, Chi Rui's result was better.
So Shen Hu waved his hand, next item!
It is said that talking about a hundred battles on paper is not as useful as a real practice.So in the second competition, each person has a team to attack the mountain.
On a hill outside the city, whoever takes off the red flag first wins.
After Shen Hu gave Chi Rui and Long Tianze the same weapons, ammunition and troops, he found a place to wait under the cliff and observed the situation with binoculars at any time.
This mountain is not very high, and it does not take time to go up, so the real difficulty is the group of people guarding the mountainside.
"To the sky!"
"To the sky?"
After seeing the leader of that group, both Chi Rui and Long Tianze exclaimed in disbelief.
And the man sitting on the ground with his head bowed slowly raised his head after hearing their voices, and it turned out that it was Xiang Tian who was still in prison not long ago.
"Boom, boom—"
"Stop you, in exchange for my freedom." Xiang Tian plunged the dagger into the dirt on the ground, pulled out a gun from his waist, and shot at their feet, "I won't show mercy, come on. Bar."
Xiang Tian could give up his hatred for Shen Hu for Ling Xue and You You, but he couldn't stay and face him.
So Shen Hu promised him not long ago that as long as Xiang Tian can prevent the two of them from winning this competition, Shen Hu will agree to take his wife and daughter away.
Such conditions are really attractive.
"hidden--"
Xiang Tian has been in Qingfeng Mountain all year round, and he is very familiar with the terrain in the mountains and forests. It can be said that fighting in this kind of place is simply his strong point, so Chi Rui immediately ordered his men to find cover, and at the same time set up their guns and be ready at any time.
"Hello, Chi Rui." Long Tianze, who was hiding behind a tree on the other side, gestured to Chi Rui.
After all, they have been on the battlefield together, and there is still a tacit understanding at this critical moment. Chi Rui saw that what he wanted to express was 'cooperation', so he nodded.
Anyway, now Xiangtian has an advantage, Chi Rui and Long Tianze will not suffer from cooperation.
Seeing that Chi Rui agreed, Long Tianze subconsciously chuckled, and sure enough, Tong Xiaotong guessed right again!
She had told Long Tianze that she could cooperate with Chi Rui when necessary, so that the duel would come after the immediate predicament was resolved first.
"Tong Xiaotong, who are you?" Long Tianze was delighted but also a little worried, this Tong Xiaotong doesn't look like an easy-going lamp!
At the same time, in the governor's mansion, Tong Xiaotong, who was being naughty by Long Tianze, sneezed several times in a row.
"Have you caught a cold?" Cui Cui put down the clothes she made for Xin'er, and reached out to touch Tong Xiaotong's forehead, "Why do you keep sneezing?"
"Someone is probably talking about me." Tong Xiaotong smiled indifferently, pointed to the clothes in Cuicui's hand and said, "You have made so many girls' clothes, what if it is a boy?"
"If it's a boy, don't you still have He'er and Ning'er's clothes to wear?" Cui Cui continued to arrange the girl's clothes in her hands, "Anyway, be prepared, and Chi Rui and I both think that this baby will definitely be born." It's going to be a girl."
Tong Xiaotong pursed her lips, touched Cui Cui's stomach and said, "Baby, tell Auntie, are you a boy or a girl?"
"Hehe—" Cui Cui chuckled lightly, "He never told me whether he was a boy or a girl, so how could he tell you?"
As soon as Cuicui finished speaking, a maid came in with a bowl of medicine, "Miss Chi, it's time to drink medicine."
"Oh, good." Cui Cui took the medicine in the tray and blew it twice, then drank it all, and returned the empty bowl to the maid, "Thank you."
"Who are you?" Tong Xiaotong grabbed her wrist just in time before the maid turned around to go out, a slight flash of defense flashed in her eyes, "Isn't the second lady's personal maid who usually comes to deliver the medicine? Why did you change someone today?"
During this period of time in Cuicui's Governor's Mansion, besides Huan'er and Tong Xiaotong, Yurong's personal maids came more often. It's no wonder that Tong Xiaotong was a little surprised when someone suddenly changed.
Even though Tong Xiaotong caught this maid, she was not afraid at all, and said calmly, "This is what the governor asked me to send."
"Overseer?" Tong Xiaotong frowned suddenly, and asked vigilantly, "What the hell is this? Why did the Overseer suddenly ask you to bring the anti-fetal medicine?"
Hearing Tong Xiaotong's question, Cui Cui also became tense, and there seemed to be a faint pain in her lower abdomen.
Just at this time, the servant girl answered Cui Cui and Tong Xiaotong's question, "This is not an anti-fetal drug, it is an oxytocin specially ordered by the warlord..."
"Bam—"
Tong Xiaotong suddenly held the maid's hand, and pushed her to the ground. The bowl on the tray also smashed to the ground and broke, "Obtronics? Is the governor going to gamble with the lives of their mother and child?"
The maid was not angry at being treated so rudely by Tong Xiaotong, but slowly got up from the ground, raised her head and said calmly, "Please don't worry, Mrs. Chi, the warlord has found the best doctor to wait, and I won't let you and Your child is in danger, as long as Staff Chi wins the ongoing competition, the doctor will arrive immediately."
As long as Chi Rui wins, the doctor will be here right away?What if you don't win?
Before Cui Cui had time to carefully comprehend the meaning of her words, the bursts of pain in her abdomen made her scream, "Ah——, Xiaotong, I, I really want to give birth. "
"Lie down quickly." Tong Xiaotong supported Cui Cui to lie down, and then yelled at the maid in a cold voice, "Get out!"
This bowl of labor-inducing medicine is very strong. Although I just drank it just now, the reaction was very violent.
Cui Cui was lying on the bed, exerting all her strength when she felt the pain, but at the same time it was accompanied by bursts of screams, "Ah——"
"Don't be afraid, the baby is full-term. Anyway, the due date is in the next few days. You will be fine." Tong Xiaotong wiped the sweat from Cuicui's forehead while holding her hand tightly to encourage her .
"what--"
Cui Cui tried her best to respond to Tong Xiaotong, but opened her mouth again with a heart-piercing scream...
After ordering Huan'er to go to the outskirts of the city to inform Chi Rui of the situation here and asking Yurong to find someone to help prepare things for production, Tong Xiaotong turned back to the room.
While Cui Cui was still awake, Tong Xiaotong said calmly, "Cui Cui, listen to me. Now I can't find a doctor or Mrs. Xiang, so I have to come by myself. I only did postpartum care before, and I didn't I have never delivered a baby myself, but I also knew about it when I was studying. You have given birth to two sons, do you still remember the methods those midwives taught you?"
Cui Cui nodded slightly, "I, I can."
"Cry out if it hurts, don't bear it." Tong Xiaotong has never given birth to a child, but seeing Cui Cui's pale face, she knew that it must be very difficult. She quickly helped Cui Cui's pants take off, and took a deep breath Taking a breath, try to calm yourself down.
Yu Rong stood guard outside the door, also very anxious.
This time, Shen Hu should have made up his mind. She asked many people to call the doctor, but they were all blocked, and Ling Xue disappeared early in the morning.
Now only Huan'er, the maid who went to Chi Rui, could get out of the Governor's Mansion.
On the hillside in the outskirts, the number of Long Tianze and Chi Rui was much smaller than that of Xiangtian, but their cooperation in two groups was not bad, temporarily balancing the situation.
After Huan'er stumbled to the suburbs, it was Chi Rui's adjutant Ah Si who saw her first, "Huan'er? What are you doing here so well?"
"Huhu——" Huan'er ran away in a hurry, panting for a long time before she could say a complete sentence, "The young mistress drank the medicine to induce labor, and the warlord refused to ask for a doctor, saying that the young master won the competition before he could invite a doctor. "
Ah Si did not participate in the competition this time, he glanced in Shen Hu's direction, and found that Shen Hu was also looking at him with a calm expression, and even nodded slightly.
"I'll go find the young master." Ah Si had followed Chi Rui for so long, so he naturally knew what he was thinking, so he left Huan'er and ran up the hillside.
Not only did Shen Hu not stop him, but he also looked at it with a smile on his face, as if he had expected it a long time ago.
When Ah Si ran halfway up the mountain, Chi Rui had an ominous premonition when he saw him, "What happened?"
After repeating Huan'er's words, Ah Si also pulled out the gun from his waist and joined the battle, "Master, let's fight quickly. We can wait, but young mistress can't wait."
Long Tianze, who was hiding on the other side, was a little surprised to see Chi Rui suddenly increase his firepower, "Is this kid crazy?"
"Adjutant Long, it seems that Young Mistress Chi is about to give birth." A soldier with a binoculars said, "Just now I saw someone coming up from the bottom of the mountain, so I went over to take a look. It's Chief Chi's follower Ah Si."
"Is it about to give birth?" Although Long Tianze didn't know when Cui Cui's due date was, it couldn't be such a coincidence, could it?Just at this juncture?
"Someone went down again." The soldier with the binoculars looked down the mountain, "It seems to be Ah Si."
"Ah Si?" Long Tianze became even more confused, grabbed the binoculars and pointed it at the mountainside. After seeing the man's back clearly, a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, "That's Chi Rui."
What the hell is attacking the mountain? Chi Rui heard that something happened to Cuicui, so why would he want to compete?
Putting on Ah Si's clothes, Chi Rui ran down the mountain all the way with his head down, bypassing Shen Hu and the others, went straight to the rear, took a horse and rushed to the Governor's Mansion.
"Overseer, Chi staffed him—"
"Let him go." Shen Hu interrupted the soldiers with a wave of his hand, "This competition is to see who can conquer this mountain first, it doesn't matter whether the commander himself goes up or not."
"Ah?" The soldier who came to report was a little surprised.
not important?Isn't today the time for Staff Chi and Adjutant Long to compete on who will be the next warlord?Is it really unimportant that Chief Staff Chi just left?
After Chi Rui left, Ah Si presided over the battle for him, but slowly, he discovered that Long Tianze's side had turned off.
Just when Ah Si was puzzled, Long Tianze suddenly signaled his subordinates to shout to Xiang Tian, "General Xiang, Adjutant Long said that if he becomes the warlord, he can still let you and Madam Xiang leave. This is not the best of both worlds." Is it?"
Sometimes, fighting to the death is not the best result.
Moreover, both sides of the confrontation are soldiers of the Shen army, and neither of them has the heart to fight ruthlessly, so the battle has continued until now, only to consume ammunition.
It is better to attack the heart than to flow blood into rivers.
After hearing what Long Tianze and the others shouted, Xiangtian's side also gradually turned off the fire.
"Xiang Tian, think about it for yourself, the warlord wants you to stop us, can you really stop Chi Rui and me?" After the gunfire stopped, Long Tianze's voice was very clear, "Why don't you help me win, I can also let you and my cousin go, how about it?"
What Shen Huhe once said to Cui Cui was not unreasonable, the position of warlord symbolizes the ruler of Jincheng, and his words can decide a person's life or death.
Now Shen Hu is the warlord, so he can control Xiangtian's freedom, and even decide the life and death of Cuicui's mother and son.
But one day he is not it?
Then the newly appointed warlord is the real master of this city!
"Xiang Tian, I'll give you half an hour to think about it." Long Tianze took out his pocket watch and glanced at it, "After half an hour, if there is a war or a peace, you give me the answer."
This half an hour tormented the hearts of everyone on both sides of the confrontation.
But at the same time, Chi Rui's heart was in his throat.
He rode his horse all the way to the governor's mansion, knocked down a few guards blocking the door, and rushed in. Fortunately, those guards didn't shoot when they saw him.
"Rui'er, why are you here?" Yu Rong, who was waiting in the hall, greeted Chi Rui as soon as he saw him, "Didn't you compete with Tianze in the outskirts of the city?"
"Where's Cuicui? Is the doctor here?" Chi Rui asked eagerly, "How is she doing?"
"She's on the second floor." Yu Rong didn't look anxious at the moment, but comforted Chi Rui, "The doctor came after Huan'er left the mansion to look for you."
Shen Hu is not a fool, if Cui Cui and the child are really killed, Chi Rui will definitely turn against him, all he wants is to give Chi Rui a stimulus.
So when his confidant saw Huan'er running out anxiously, he took the doctor to Cuicui's room.
"I'll go and see her." Chi Rui nodded to Yu Rong and ran to the second floor, although he had roughly guessed what Shen Hu meant now, since he came back, he should go and accompany Cui Cui.
In the corridor on the second floor, as soon as Chi Rui walked over, he heard screams and a strong smell of blood coming from one of the rooms.
"Cui Cui—" Now he didn't care about anything else, Chi Rui immediately opened the door and went in.
In the room, two midwives were squatting beside the bed, and a doctor was pressing Cui Cui's bent knee, while Tong Xiaotong held Cui Cui's hand tightly and wiped the pimples on her forehead. sweat.
Seeing Chi Rui's sudden appearance, Tong Xiaotong was taken aback for a moment, "Why are you here?"
"Cui Cui." Chi Rui ignored Tong Xiaotong, sat on the other side of the bed and held Cui Cui's other hand, "I'm back, don't be afraid, I'm here."
Chi Rui just glanced at it and was shocked by the blood on the bed. When Cui Cui gave birth to Heer last time, he waited for the servants to finish the treatment before entering the delivery room. Now he personally saw this blood dripping. Only then did I know how difficult it is to have a child.
"Chi Rui?" The familiar temperature in her palm brought back Cui Cui's rationality, she turned her head slightly, and said with difficulty, "Why did you come in? This is the delivery room, get out quickly."
"I'll stay here with you." Chi Rui smiled slightly, and leaned into Cui Cui's ear and said, "Xin'er is our two children, there's no reason to let you suffer alone."
His firm voice was like a reassurance, and Cui Cui's heart suddenly felt warm, "Chi Rui—"
"Young Mistress, hurry up, you can see the baby's head." The midwife said excitedly, "It will come out soon."
When Cui Cui listened to the midwife's words, her sharp fingertips involuntarily left deep scratches on the hands of Chi Rui and Tong Xiaotong, "Ah——"
"Wow-"
Finally, after a long while, a crisp cry sounded in the room.
When Chi Rui turned around in surprise, the midwife just picked up the baby, "Congratulations to Staff Officer Chi, congratulations to Young Mistress Chi, she is a daughter."
Looking at Chi Rui and Cui Cui who were looking at and smiling at each other, Tong Xiaotong heaved a sigh of relief, "Phew, it's finally over."
Whether it's the child's difficult delivery or the competition given by Shen Hu, it's all over.
When the servants were tidying up the house, Cui Cui had already fallen asleep from exhaustion, and Chi Rui kept guarding her in the room with the child in her arms.
And Tong Xiaotong came to the gate of the Governor's Mansion and waited for others.
In the evening, Shen Hu finally came back with Long Tianze and Xiang Tian, Tong Xiaotong didn't ask about the result, but just saw the joyful expression on Long Tianze's face, he knew he had won.
When Shen Hu and Xiang Tian passed by Tong Xiaotong, he suddenly stopped and sized her up carefully.
"Overlord." Tong Xiaotong nodded to Shen Hu with neither humble nor overbearing, "Miss Chi, mother and daughter are safe."
"Mm." It took Shen Hu a long time to withdraw his gaze and lead the person in.
With his hands folded around his chest, Long Tianze slowly walked to her side, the smile on his mouth couldn't be concealed, "Tong Xiaotong, do you want to guess what the warlord told me just now?"
"What else can I say, saying all this is actually a lesson for you, right?" Seeing Long Tianze's stunned look, Tong Xiaotong raised his chin triumphantly, "He is not the one you have admired the most since you were young. The object? Why don't you understand his mind at all?"
"You—" Long Tianze's astonishment was indescribable, why does this Tong Xiaotong look like a monster?
The result of the peace negotiation between him and Xiang Tian just now was naturally successful, so with Xiang Tian's help, he climbed to the top of the mountain first and won the game.
But when he went back to find Shen Hu with the chess pieces, Shen Hu gave him an even bigger surprise!
Shen Hu said, "Tianze, in fact, you have always been my most valued successor. I never thought of letting Chi Rui or Xiang Tian take over from me, do you understand?"
Is Shen Hu a person who likes to do useless work?Of course not!
If he really wanted Chi Rui to take over his position, then what was his careful cultivation of Long Tianze all these years?
Marching and fighting is not growing flowers in a greenhouse, and being an heir is not enough just to rely on his personal guidance.
Long Tianze must be given enough blows and tempers so that he can grow into a qualified heir by himself. This is Shen Hu's ultimate goal.
When Shen Hu said, "Tianze, the lesson I gave you was very profound, right?", Long Tianze was completely relieved.
An excellent warlord must not only be able to march and deploy troops to judge people's hearts, but more importantly, he must be able to cultivate the next excellent successor.
But if Shen Hu surprised Long Tianze, Tong Xiaotong's shock to Long Tianze was even greater.
"How did you know?" Long Tianze asked, grabbing her wrist, "Tong Xiaotong, I realized that I really underestimated you."
"How do I know? Heh, sixteen characters." Under the setting sun, Tong Xiaotong raised a bright smile, "Onlookers are clear, authorities are confused. Comparing your heart with your heart, empathize with yourself."
Tong Xiaotong's smile was always contagious, and Long Tianze couldn't help laughing too.
Holding her hand and pulling her into his arms, Long Tianze tried his best to deepen the hug, "Thank you——"
How long is three months?
It has been a long time since Jincheng has undergone earth-shaking changes.
Shen Hu resigned from his position, formally handed Shen Jun over to Long Tianze, and appointed Chi Rui to continue as a staff officer and was awarded a military rank. After that, he took Yu Rong to find a suburban house for retirement.
But Ling Xue and Xiang Tian decided to leave.
Long Tianze's first order after he became the warlord was to relieve Xiang Tianhe of his position and ask him to take Ling Xue and Youyou away.
In front of the platform, Cui Cui hugged Ling Xue reluctantly, and carefully reminded her, "Take care of yourself, your health is not good, and remember not to get separated from Xiang Tian when you are outside. I am really worried about you..."
"Sister, you are the one. Now you have to take care of three children. You are much more tired than me." Ling Xue took out a jade pendant from her arms and handed it to Cui Cui. "This pendant is custom-made by me. It is engraved with A word 'he', you bring it to Heer, it is the proof of Heer and Yoyo's engagement."
Cui Cui took the jade pendant and smiled a little embarrassedly, "What, shouldn't my mother-in-law prepare such things?"
"My heart is so noisy now, as a younger sister, I naturally have to be considerate of my elder sister." Ling Xue glanced at Xiang Tian and You You who were not far away, and smiled knowingly, "Sister, I am already very happy, Thank you."
"Have a safe trip." After sending you off for a long distance, there will be a farewell. Cui Cui couldn't help her eyes getting hot when she saw Ling Xue and Xiang Tian's family of three embracing each other.
The happiness that they could not get in the previous life, they finally got it in this life.
Recently, it seemed destined to be the day of parting. After Xiang Tian and Ling Xue left, Tong Xiaotong also decided to leave.
Cui Cui hugged He Er to see her off, "Oh, Ling Xue is gone, now you have to go too, I will be left alone in the future."
Cui Cui doesn't have many friends, Ling Xue is one, and now Tong Xiaotong is also one.
"Who said that?" Tong Xiaotong squeezed He'er's smiling face, and said with a light smile, "You have Chi Rui, and three children, why are you alone?"
"When are you coming back?" Cui Cui sneaked a sidelong glance at Long Tianze who was blustering at the side, lowered her voice and approached Tong Xiaotong's ear, "Also, do you have any interest in him? If so, Then tell him frankly."
"I don't know either." Tong Xiaotong shook his head slightly distressed, "Maybe I can find the answer after I leave this time and come back."
At the beginning, when Tong Xiaotong first met Long Tianze, he hated him, then he had some sympathy for him, and in the end, he seemed to be moved by his deep affection.
Knowing that Cuicui only has Chi Rui in his heart, he still loves her as always.
There is an old saying that all men in the world are unlucky, but the few people Tong Xiaotong met after coming to Jincheng, Xiang Tian, Chi Rui, and Long Tianze, are all long-term lovers.
To be honest, if she hadn't had to leave because of something, she would really be reluctant to stay here.
"I hope you can think about it clearly." Cui Cui patted Tong Xiaotong's shoulder lightly, "The journey is smooth, the scenery in Guangzhou is nice, and it's good to relax."
In her previous life, Cui Cui was fortunate to have been to Guangzhou once, and the scenery there was indeed much wider compared to Jincheng.
"Have you been to Guangzhou?" Hearing Cuicui's words, Tong Xiaotong's eyes flashed with surprise.
"Uh—" Chi Rui was not far away, Cui Cui didn't say anything, "Forget it, let's do it."
Tong Xiaotong fell silent suddenly, stared at Cui Cui for a long time, then opened his hands to give her a hug, and left a word in her ear by the way——
She said, "Wu Cuicui, do you believe that China will have a new tomorrow?"
Tong Xiaotong's voice was soft, but it seemed to reach Cuicui's heart directly through Cuicui's ears...
This is not the first time Cui Cui has heard such words, and she also understands what such words represent.
After finishing speaking, Tong Xiaotong didn't care about Cui Cui who was still in a daze, and walked directly to the carriage with the suitcase.
"Ugh-"
The heavy whistle sound pulled back Cui Cui Piaoyuan's thoughts, seeing that the train was about to start, there was only one thought in her subconscious mind for a moment, and that was that Tong Xiaotong couldn't just leave like this.
Cui Cui wants to ask clearly!
To ask why she would say that sentence?
Want to know who she is?
Handing He'er in her arms to Chi Rui, Cui Cui ran forward recklessly, grabbed Tong Xiaotong's wrist a second before she stepped on the train, and asked slightly panting, "Tong Xiaotong, what did you just say?" mean?"
"Young Mistress?" Tong Xiaotong was obviously startled by Cui Cui, "You—"
"Tell me first, are you going to listen to Mr. Sun's speech when you go to Guangzhou this time?" Cui Cui pulled her to the side, leaned in front of her and asked in a low voice, "Are you...?"
"I——" Tong Xiaotong originally asked that question just now, but after seeing Cuicui's reaction, she was relieved and nodded generously, "As you guessed it, my trip to Guangzhou this time is indeed For Mr. Sun's speech, the reason why I asked you that question is because..."
After a short pause, Tong Xiaotong looked at Cui Cui with firmer eyes, "It's because I think you will become the same person as me."
"Of course." Cui Cui nodded in surprise, with a confident smile on her lips, "Your belief is my belief, and of course we will become the same people."
In her previous life, Cui Cui met a teacher when she was teaching. He was a revolutionary party member. Because of his introduction, Cui Cui also had a certain understanding of revolution. .
As early as Cui Cui saw Tong Xiaotong at the Lantern Festival, she had a faint feeling that this girl was not simple.
Sure enough, the woman's premonition was accurate, and Tong Xiaotong's identity really gave Cui Cui a huge shock, but it was also a surprise in disguise.
"Xiaotong, let me go to Guangzhou with you. I missed it once and was unable to listen to Mr. Sun's speech. This time I want to listen to it." Cuicui said sincerely, holding her hand.
"It's okay, it's just..." Tong Xiaotong cast a guilty glance at Chi Rui who was walking this way with Heer in his arms, "Are you sure Staff Chi will agree?"
"Yes." Cui Cui forgot that she was not alone in this life, "Chi Rui doesn't know about this yet."
"I don't know what?" Chi Rui's voice suddenly rang in Cui Cui's ears, "Cui Cui, the train is about to leave, how long are you going to hold Miss Tong?"
After his reminder, Tong Xiaotong saw that there were very few people on the platform, "Cui Cui, I'm leaving first, and I'll talk to you when I have something to say."
Watching the train go away, Long Tianze also came over, "Miss Chi, you seem to know Tong Xiaotong very well?"
This is the first time that Long Tianze has called Cui Cui so correctly since we have known each other for so long. Chi Rui immediately asked in a good mood, "Yes, who is she?"
Cui Cui stared ahead, without giving the two of them the slightest look, but calmly dropped a bomb, "Revolutionary Party."
Chi Rui and Long Tianze knew exactly what a revolutionary party was. Cuicui's answer made them frowned deeply, and they asked in unison, "How do you know?"
"Because..." Cui Cui's tone was so long that she chuckled after a long time, "Because I am too."
