Chapter Twenty-six

"Go back to the mansion first, then change your carriage and go to the eldest princess's mansion together." As soon as the carriage drove out of the gate of Zhangjiazhuang, Cui Xi lay down heavily, whispered with his eyes closed.

"My husband, can you find his mouth?" The concubine Li Gu frowned gently, and the question immediately brought a slight reproach to her. "The princess hasn't given us much time."

"I've heard it clearly. He wants a subordinate to the Secretariat..." Cui Shi shook his head and answered weakly, "The title of the third rank of the Secretariat. In addition, food, equipment, military sources, and manpower, he hopes to double the current basis. In addition, if there is an emergency in Zhenxi Protectorate, he needs to have the right to make arbitrary decision."

These words are not completely true. Some of the requirements were indeed made by Zhang Qian himself. There are also some requirements, especially in terms of official positions, that he secretly added codes for Zhang Qian.

In his opinion, many principles in the officialdom are consistent with the business world. Since the price is asked, you cannot be too low at the beginning. Otherwise, if the other party cuts it in half, the rest will not satisfy Zhang Qian's appetite. The two sides will have to take many weeks to fight back and forth. Therefore, it is better for him to raise the price for Zhang Qian first. Even if others cut it in half, the rest will be barely satisfying Zhang Qian.

"Since you have learned it clearly, why does the Langjun look like he just lost a battle?" Li Gu couldn't guess Cui Shi's complicated thoughts, but she could clearly see the fatigue and depressedness on Cui Shi's face, and frowned again, and continued to figure it out.

These words do not contain any concern, but are just a habit that the two partners have developed over the years. Although Cui Xi is now considered a prime minister, in her eyes, she is still a slave raised by Princess Taiping. Her status is similar to that of herself, and her relationship with her master is far less than that of herself.

"Although he is young, he is a powerful general who has come out from the sea of ​​corpses and blood. When I deal with him, I have to be careful at all times. How can I not be tired?!" Cui Shi raised his hand and waved his sleeves. A little impatient suddenly appeared in his answer, "Okay, stop asking, if you meet the eldest princess, you will naturally report to the eldest princess carefully. At that time, you will definitely know everything you should know. Now, I want to close my eyes and nourish my spirits for a while!"

"Ye, Cui Pingzhang is still pretending? You don't think about it..." Li Gu snorted coldly from her nose, followed by a sarcastic words. However, after half of her words, the instructions from Princess Taiping to her a few days ago sounded in her heart. She bit her silver teeth a few times, and then decisively swallowed the remaining half back into her stomach.

Princess Taiping specifically instructed her that the situation is complicated at the moment and Cui Xi's role is very important, so she must put herself in the position of a concubine and can no longer rely on the support of the princess's mansion to have any disrespect to Cui Xi.

In addition, if you find that Cui Xi is abnormal in behavior, you must report it in time to avoid Cui Xi from having any unpleasant intentions towards the eldest princess or even turning back.

Is this situation considered "abnormal"? Li Gu is a little confused. The intuition developed by sharing a bed with her over the years told her very clearly that Cui Xi was unwilling to help Princess Taiping deal with Zhang Qian from the bottom of her heart. However, Cui Xi claimed just now that she had successfully completed the task assigned by the Princess, which made it difficult for her to point out doubts.

However, as long as you try hard to find the doubts, you can still find them. After sorting out all Cui Shi's words and deeds from beginning to end, a cold light flashed in Li Gu's eyes, "When you were just about to board the bus, that sentence, if I were you, I would definitely be eager to go further as far as possible. What does it mean? If I understand well, you seem to be reminding Zhang Qian to leave Chang'an as soon as possible!"

Cui Shi's body was obviously stiff. It fell into Li Gu's eyes, which made her increasingly convinced that there was no deviation in her intuition.

However, the next moment, Cui Xi suddenly sat up, raised his hand, and slapped her hard, "Bang!"

The crisp sound seemed particularly clear in the closed carriage. Cui Xi's words suddenly became extremely loud, "Bitch! How do I speak and do things, I still need you to teach you?! I am just reminding him to leave Chang'an as soon as possible, so what's wrong? If you are not satisfied, just report to the eldest princess! The eldest princess has said that let him go further as far as possible. If he really listens to me, why bother to satisfy his greedy appetite?!"

"You, you, you beat me?" This is the first time since the two of them were ordered to get together, Cui Shi was treated with such a bad attitude. He forgot all his mission in an instant, and tears rolled down his beautiful face. "How dare you? You, the unscrupulous one, if the eldest princess had not been pushing you up, you still don't know which yamen you are struggling in..."

"It's the eldest princess who has been cultivating Cui, but it's not you, you!" Cui Feng's depressed aura suddenly found the vent, and it became uncontrollable in an instant. He suddenly reached out and grabbed the collar of the Li Gu's clothes, pressed the other party hard on the carriage board, and continued to angrily shouted: "I have always been tolerant of you, and I am also thinking about the relationship between the eldest princess, instead of owing you. I can buy three of the sluts like you for ten yuan, and I can kill you. If I throw them out of the city, the government will not ask!"

"You fight, you can beat me to death with the ability! It depends on whether you have the courage!" Li Gu finally recovered from the shock, and while struggling to resist, she threatened sternly.

"I don't need to do it myself!" Cui Shi let go of his fingers in disgust, and set a distance from Li Gu again, and sat up straight. "Go back to the mansion, clean up the bed and get out with the maid, don't let me see you again! Otherwise, next year's day will be your death day!"

"You, dare you hit me? You dare you hit me? The surname Cui, you are looking for death!" Li Gu waved her arm angrily, trying to pounce on her and grab Hua Cui's face, but she couldn't raise any courage.

She is a woman, and she will never be stronger than Cui Xi no matter how hard she is. When conflicts occur in the carriage, she must be the one who suffers a loss. Cui Xi's carriage is definitely worthy of his identity as a subordinate of the Tong Pingzhang. No matter how loud she cries inside, no one outside the car will hear any sound.

"Don't force me!" Cui Shi put his eyes straight and the scolding sound fell into Li Gu's ears, like thunder, "Otherwise, I will order my servant to throw you out of the car and die for yourself!"

"You..." Li Gu was so scared that she shivered, her face turned pale in an instant, and her body was soft and slumped on the carriage.

It is true that she is Princess Taiping’s confidant, but she is a maid after all. In the Cui family, her identity is just a favored concubine.

It is natural for Cui Shi to beat her by himself, or to order her servants to tie her up and impose family rules. Even if she kicked her out of the carriage in public, the world can only say that Cui Pingzhang was frivolous and could not tolerate a concubine, and would not criticize Cui Shi any more.

However, if she was kicked out of the house by Cui Xi at this critical moment, it is hard to say whether Princess Taiping would support her!

Cen Xi was just driven out of the court and inspected the place with courtesy. Li You's status in the court is far less important than Cui Xi. Jia Yingfu's work is far less neat than Cui Xi. In this case, even though Princess Taiping knew that Cui Xi was not loyal to her, in order to win over this person, she would only send another beautiful woman to Cui Xi as a concubine, but ignored her and even sent someone to take her life to vent her anger!

"Brush-" The carriage suddenly became brighter. However, Cui Wei felt frustrated and pulled open the curtains with his own hands. The bright spring light immediately shone in through the carved glass window, making the inner wall of the carriage mottled.

Li Gu raised her head and looked at Cui Xi with resentment. Suddenly she found that Cui Xi's face was actually full of masculine flavor.

Gently supporting her body with her arms, she crawled towards Cui Xi like a kitten, rubbing her head against the other person's arms, and her voice became as gentle as a cat's meow, "Mr., I know I'm wrong. Mr., if you want to beat me, you'll scold me, and don't be angry. Mr., I can't bear to leave you!"

Worried that Cui Shi was still angry, she tried to turn her face to the former's lower abdomen and her body was slightly curled up so as not to be too seriously injured when she was slapped or pushed by the other party again. Unexpectedly, Cui Shi had no response to her behavior and voice, and her eyes continued to look out the window with her eyes as if Buddhism was manifesting at this moment outside the window, and dragons and snakes were flying in the sky.

"Mr. I know I am wrong, I am willing to accept my punishment!" Worried that Cui Shi deliberately ignored her, Li Gu continued to rub her head gently against the other person's lower abdomen, and her voice was as soft as a kitten acting coquettishly. "Mr. Don't drive me away, I really can't bear to part with you."

"Don't mess around, let's talk about your affairs!" Cui Shi seemed to suddenly become Liu Xiahui, raised his hand and pushed her head away impatiently, "I just saw Dou Huaizhen and Sun Qi."

"Who?" Li Gu was shocked, her body stretched out alertly, and quickly looked up at the frosted glazed window.

The glass produced by Liushen Workshop is very strange in technology, which allows people in the carriage to see outside the window in one direction, and peek out of the window into the carriage, but only see a fog. So, she was not worried at all, that her movements were discovered by people outside the carriage.

The carriage was still on the official road outside Chang'an City, and there were not many pedestrians coming and going nearby. Through the frosted glass window, she clearly saw several strong servants riding by in a hurry. From the dressing, they must have come from a wealthy family, but they didn't know who their master was and where was the destination of this trip?
