Chapter 111 The Eve of Leaving

"Who is making the noise!"

Yan Rong, who was disturbed from his dream, yelled angrily. He didn't wait for the slave to reply. Listening to the sound, Yan Rong, who had been on the battlefield for a long time, immediately realized that something was wrong. The roaring sound of horse hooves was clearly caused by a large-scale cavalry race.

movement.

There were many cavalrymen in Qingzhou, but without his orders, only three thousand cavalrymen under Cui Che were left who dared to rush into Licheng at night.

Thinking of this, Yan Rong no longer felt sleepy. He didn't even have time to put on his clothes. He took his saber and rushed out of the door shouting:

"Someone! Come quickly!"

But no one responded to him.

Qin Qiong led dozens of cavalrymen into the post house first, and Yan Rong finally saw the missing followers.

"He is Yan Rong!"

The followers pointed it out.

When Yan Rong saw this, his eyes were about to burst. He never imagined that he would end up betrayed and separated from his relatives.

"I treat you badly, but how dare you betray me for glory!"

"No rewards for meritorious service, but punishment for no faults. How can it be said that it is not too thin?"

Wang Xi retorted.

Yan Rong was so angry that he never imagined that the good dog he used to be around would one day devour his master.

‘Clang!’

Yan Rong drew out his saber and was about to slash at Wang Xi. Wang Xi was frightened and was about to turn around to escape, but saw Qin Qiong striking Yan Rong to the ground with his horse.

This scene was seen by Cui Che, who happened to come in, and thought to himself:

'Now that Qin Qiong is only eleven years old, he has such strength that he can defeat Yan Rong. If he waits until he reaches adulthood, it will be better. No wonder the "Old Book of Tang Dynasty" praised Qin Qiong for his good use of horses and his ability to always stand in front of thousands of armies.

Rush into the formation and kill the general.'

In fact, it is true that Qin Qiong was very powerful, but it was Yan Rong who was only focused on chasing and killing Wang Xi and did not pay attention to Qin Qiong's swing.

Seeing Yan Rong being knocked to the ground, everyone swarmed up and tied him up to subdue him.

"Cui Che! How dare you do this!"

Yan Rong struggled and roared.

Cui Che crosses over to see the seductive Qin Qiong.

No matter how you say it, Yan Rong is a strong soldier in the army. Being able to beat him down, regardless of whether it was a young man who carried out a sneak attack, would be a shameful thing.

Cui Che faced Yan Rong and smiled:

"Manager Yan, if you have anything to say, please wait until you return to Daxing City to talk to the saint."

The next day, the drums announcing dawn resounded throughout Licheng, but every door was closed tightly. The people looked at the streets outside their houses through the window paper, but there were no rioters wandering around as they had imagined.

"Yan Rong has conspired to rebel! He has been captured by Commander Cui! He will be taken to the capital to be punished!"

A cavalryman galloped past.

After hearing the news, the people of Licheng finally walked out of their homes. They whispered in groups of twos and threes:

"Yan Rong was caught?"

"Did Cui Shijun enter the city last night? No wonder there were no rioters and looters!"

"Yan Rong shouldn't be able to come back from here, right?"

"He committed a serious crime of treason, how can he come back!"

The people of Licheng finally realized that Yan Rong, the highest military and political officer in the four prefectures, seemed to be about to fall.

For a time, people spontaneously rushed to tell each other. When the people in neighboring counties heard about it, they all clapped their hands and celebrated.

In the afternoon, Suwei rushed back to Licheng.

The grand scene in which the people of Licheng celebrated Yan Rong's capture also left a deep impression on Su Wei.

In the post house, Su Wei and Cui Che sat opposite each other and asked:

"Now that the truth has been revealed to the world, Su must also escort Yan Rong back to Beijing to resume his life. What are Mr. Cui's plans?"

While Cui Che poured tea, he replied:

"Cui was ordered to go east to help the victims. Now that everything has been settled, it's time for me to return to Beijing and resign to the saint."

After saying that, he handed a cup of hot tea to Su Wei.

After Su Wei took it, he smiled and said:

"In this way, you and I can walk together."

Cui Che picked up his tea cup and asked:

"Isn't Mr. Su afraid that the saint will misunderstand our relationship and think it is seeking favoritism?"

Su Wei blew the tea in the cup and said indifferently:

"If it were anyone else, Su would have avoided suspicion, but Yan Rong went against the grain and the evidence of his crime was clear. Look at the turbulent public opinion in the city. Su acted upright and sat upright. A saint would have noticed. How could he be afraid of gossip and alienate himself from the wise men?"

."

"To be praised by Mr. Su, Mr. Cui must drink a few more cups today, otherwise he will never be able to extinguish his pride."

Cui Che and Su Wei joked.

Su Wei laughed so hard that he leaned forward and backward, patted his thigh and praised:

"Interesting! Interesting! I never thought that Cui Jun was also a wonderful person in private!"

At night, Dou Wei, Qin Ai, and Pei Xiu also came to Licheng, and even Huang Baiji, the magistrate of Zhua County next door, also came over.

Several people sat around the stove, Cui Che told:

"I will return to Beijing with Su Shangshu tomorrow. Wen Wei (Dou Wei), Shaocai (Pei Xiu), you two should pack your bags early."

Dou Wei and Pei Xiu nodded in agreement, especially Dou Wei. He missed his beloved wife and secretary's collection of books at home and wished he could leave now. He hurriedly said goodbye to everyone and went to pack his books first.

Cui Che looked at Qin Ai again and asked:

"Mr. Qin, are you willing to go with me?"

"To be honest with you, the envoy, Qin was forced to apply for the draft that day because of helplessness."

Saying that, Qin Ai smiled at Pei Xiu, and Pei Xiu scratched his head in embarrassment.

Qin Ai continued:

"Qin once served as an official in the Qi Dynasty. He entered the Xianyang Prince's Palace and saw with his own eyes that his entire family was murdered. His official career was dangerous. Qin has no interest in fame for a long time. I hope you will allow me to resign."

The so-called King of Xianyang is Hulu Wudu, the son of Hu Luguang. Twelve years ago, he and his father Hu Luguang were unjustly killed by Gao Wei, the later lord of the Northern Qi Dynasty.

Cui Che also knew that forceful melons were not sweet, but he did not want to let Qin Qiong go.

"Although Mr. Qin has no intention of becoming an official, your son has been diligently practicing martial arts since he was a child. He also has ambitions and wants to achieve something. Why not let him stay with Mr. Cui. Sooner or later, he will have the opportunity to establish his career."

Qin Ai was speechless when he heard this. Of course he knew that Qin Qiong had great ambitions and did not want to follow his mediocre life.

Just when Qin Ai hesitated, Qin Qiong answered himself:

"Qin Qiong is very grateful for Cui Shijun's kindness. However, his parents are here and they will not travel far. Qin Qiong is determined to serve his parents at home. Please forgive me."

"Don't refuse in a hurry."

Cui Che smiled and said:

"Why don't you and I make a deal? Today I won't force you two. But if Cui can win the respect of the Qingzhou manager, how about Shu Bao following Cui? This won't prevent you from visiting your parents from time to time."

A few days ago, Qin Qiong started to help Cui Che with work, so Qin Ai gave him the cousin name Shubao in advance to make it easier to address him.

Hearing this, Qin Qiong glanced at his father, Qin Ai nodded and said:

"Just follow what the envoy said."

In fact, Qin Ai also knew that if Cui Che could tell this agreement, he would be sure of his position as the general manager of Qingzhou.

Everyone here is a smart person. When Huang Baiji heard that Cui Che was interested in the position of Qingzhou Governor, his face was filled with smiles.

I never thought that I, a county magistrate, could surpass the governor and governor and become the lackey of the chief steward.

Cui Che looked at Huang Baiji and said solemnly:

"When I leave Qingzhou, you must do your job with all your heart. If I hear that you have acted illegally when I return, you should know the consequences!"

"I will keep your teachings in mind and never forget them for a moment!"

Huang Baiji quickly stood up and responded to the order.

Cui Che nodded and encouraged:

"If I really remember what Cui said, I will never treat you badly."
