Tome of Troubled Times Chapter 60: The crisis of the central government
The rain was still falling. Cui Yuanyang followed Zhao Changhe through the mountains with his head in his hands. He found a cave with great familiarity and got into it, and then pulled out some dry dead branches and leaves in the cave. The fire was lit.
Soon a warm little nest was formed.
The reason for changing the place was not just because there were corpses everywhere and people infiltrating there, but more importantly because he didn't want to encounter someone "sheltering from the rain" again. Now that strange murderous intentions are coming towards Cui Yuanyang, Zhao Changhe has to be more cautious. If you find a cave in a barren mountain, no one will be able to find it!
Cui Yuanyang sat hugging his knees by the bonfire, shaking his hands here and there, warming his slightly damp rabbit fleece clothes, wanting to take them off but not daring to do so.
There is only a small bellyband inside, and it is still a mandarin duck swimming style.
Zhao Changhe didn't care about her so much, he just took off his coat and dried his clothes naked.
Cui Yuanyang didn't dare to look at his muscular body, so he turned his head and muttered: "Bandit."
Zhao Changhe is too lazy to pay attention to her. You have been peeping at me practicing my sword this morning. It's not like you haven't seen it before. Now you are pretending to be shy... I don't have the animality to push you to the ground.
Cui Yuanyang couldn't scold Zhao Changhe, so he had to give the blame to God: "What the **** is the weather? It's so annoying."
"Continuous spring rain is normal. Without this spring rain, there would be no autumn harvest for your family." Zhao Changhe baked clothes and sighed: "I said that your current brain circuit should be racking your brains. Are you wondering who wants to kill you? Have you ever offended anyone before?"
Cui Yuanyang shook her head in fascination. She has been a girl who has been surrounded by stars at home since she was a child. She is really the kind of girl who is loved by everyone. How can she offend anyone? If I have to say it, I have occasionally reprimanded the servants. I don’t think anyone would hold a grudge and pay someone to kill someone for such a trivial matter, right?
This is too weird...it's impossible to guess.
Zhao Changhe also felt extremely puzzled, who could this little girl offend? Competing interests? She doesn't have any interests related to anyone.
It is normal for the Cui family to have enemies, but is there any point in targeting such a little girl? You say it's understandable to kidnap him and display him in various ways, but why do you just want to hire a murderer to assassinate him? Just to vent your anger?
Of course, it wouldn’t be strange if someone was just venting their anger. There is no one else in the world... But if that’s the case, then there’s really no way to guess.
No!
Zhao Changhe suddenly felt something stirred in his heart: "How many people know that you came to me halfway?"
Cui Yuanyang was stunned for a moment: "Everyone in the family should know it... From outsiders, I don't know..."
"Yes." Zhao Changhe snapped his fingers: "Even if your family urgently asks someone to look for you, how long have you been running away? It is only right now that the various places have just received the news and started looking for you, but the assassins have already come to the door. ! This timeline is unlikely to be caused by outsiders."
Cui Yuanyang was agitated and murmured in disbelief: "Is it a family member? Someone in the family wants to kill me?"
"Not only is he a member of your family, but he is also someone who knows that you ran away to find me. Only in this way can we find Mei Nai as quickly as possible." Zhao Changhe said expressionlessly: "Do you think it will be possible? Is it Cui Yuanyong? He meets this condition best."
Cui Yuanyang shouted: "Impossible!"
Zhao Changhe shook his head. He also thought it was impossible. If Cui Yuanyong wanted to kill his sister, this fool would have been tricked to death in a hundred ways, why did he wait until now? Even if you deliberately wait to get rid of the relationship after leaving, in fact, you can't get rid of the relationship. Everyone knows that your sister went on a trip with you and died outside. How can you escape the responsibility? You will definitely be held accountable.
The most anxious person right now is Cui Yuanyong.
"It's not Cui Yuanyong, but it's possible that he wants Cui Yuanyong to take the big responsibility for not taking good care of his sister and causing her death." Zhao Changhe smiled: "It seems that there is a heir apparent in your family? The Cui family Is Cui Yuanyong the only one in this generation to be on the Hidden Dragon List? "
Cui Yuanyang bit her lower lip and said nothing.
Whether someone is on the Hidden Dragon Ranking does not mean that others are not as good as Cui Yuanyong. After all, the book of troubled times is based on performance. Others may not have outstanding performance, but they are strong enough.
What's more, the family's choice of head is not necessarily based on strength, but the status of the heir apparent is more important. As long as the strength and character are not too ugly to cause opposition from the whole family, basically no one can shake the status of the heir apparent.
Cui Yuanyong and Cui Yuanyang are both descendants of the eldest son. Cui Yuanyong does not seem to be the eldest son. He has an elder brother...but this elder brother is the offspring of a side chamber. In other words, don't look at it. Cui Yuanyang calls Cui Yuanyong his second brother, but actually Cui Yuanyong is his eldest son.
He has the best status, is the third Qianlong, and is the most famous. He is basically the destined next generation head of the Cui family. Others really have no competition in front of him.
But what if something happens to him?
Is killing my sister enough? It’s hard to say, but it’s a good weight.
At least Cui Yuanyang's eldest brother is not just Cui Yuanyong. Not to mention the eldest son, there is also the second son. No one knows whether other rooms are also watching with eager eyes.
In this generation of the Cui family, men are prosperous.
However, according to this reasoning, the most likely one seems to be Cui Yuancheng, Cui Yuanyang's second son and half-brother. This possibility made Cui Yuanyang numb and speechless for a long time.
Zhao Changhe said: "Why don't you say anything? I don't know anything about your family. I need you to explain the situation to help analyze it."
Cui Yuanyang muttered for a long time before stammering and briefly explained the situation.
Zhao Changhe's expression was a little twitchy. What about the eldest son, the eldest son, and the eldest son of a concubine? His head swelled three or four times after hearing this. It took him a long time to figure it out. There are so many things to do in a big family.
He pinched his head with a headache: "Don't look like the sky is falling. It may not be your brother, it may be someone else. The more important problem we have to face now is - I may not be able to defeat the killer. ”
Cui Yuanyang also thought of this level.
If a member of the Cui family had paid for the bounty, her bounty might be even more outrageous than Zhao Changhe's thousand taels of gold. The killer who was greedy for this property was not a third- or fourth-level assassin, and it was hard to say how strong he was.
In fact, Zhao Changhe's own bounty may also attract terrifying enemies, so he needs to cover his whereabouts.
At present, there are no strong people coming to the door. It’s just because I’m not that lucky. How could there be any killer who happens to be interested in the bounty and also happens to be very strong nearby? Even if they were close by, why did they happen to be found?
Han Wubing also came all the way here from nowhere. The assassin should have just gone to the mountain temple to take shelter from the rain and happened to pick up a dead rabbit. The real factor in the encounter was that everyone was taking shelter in the mountain temple. Instead they turned on the radar. So there must be stronger people. We haven't encountered them for a while. How many of them can Zhao Changhe handle at the third level of the entrance hall?
It would be very simple if there was only Zhao Changhe himself. No one knows which direction he will go. As long as he stops showing off his heroic spirit and goes to the martial arts gym to reveal that he is Zhao Changhe, the day after tomorrow will know where he is? Soon nothing happened.
But Cui Yuanyang always has to go home. Qinghe is right there. Others don’t need to come to them. They just need to send people to wait for them on various routes to Qinghe. How can they get there?
"Now it depends on the reaction of the Cui family. Will they send elite soldiers to cover all roads..." Zhao Changhe said and quickly denied himself: "It seems unrealistic. How could they know that you are being raped?" Assassination? I probably thought you ran away with the wild man and didn't even dare to say anything."
Cui Yuanyang’s head drooped, and his rabbit ears were almost hanging down.
It felt good to run away from home, but God knew there would be such trouble... At this moment, the girl really felt that Zhao Changhe was right before he scolded her, and he was a fool.
"I have an idea." Zhao Changhe touched his chin: "Maybe your reputation is over."
Cui Yuanyang asked curiously: "What's the idea?"
"As long as we don't go to Qinghe, we do the opposite, such as going to see the misty rain in the south of the Yangtze River and the scenery in Mobei. I don't even know where I'm going, and they haven't opened their eyes, so how can they find us? ? When your family knows your whereabouts in the future, maybe six months and a year have passed, and they may have already thought about the name of their grandson, and everyone in the world will know..."
Cui Yuanyang opened his mouth, not knowing how to respond.
Zhao Changhe leaned against the cave wall and closed his eyes to rest: "There is another straightforward plan. We are now rushing back to Qinghe day and night. The reward has just begun, and not many people know about it. How many people can really block your possibility? In fact, it does not exist. In other words, if you want to go back, you must go back as soon as possible. People who are looking for profit will not move. You and I have reached Qinghe."
