Chapter 139 Two Young Masters
Chai Yue is very tall, with a long robe covering her figure, her back is slightly hunched, and her face always has a contemplative look on her face.
Han Ruzi didn't hate him, but he had to be wary.
Not long after arriving at the frontier, there were rumors that the Chai family was going to seek revenge against Marquis Juan, but Marquis Juan's status was there, and few people even dared to speak to him publicly, let alone to pick quarrels and stir up trouble. A few Chai family disciples, at most, behaved a little colder than others.
Chai Yue is the first person who dares to take action.
Han Ruzi admired him a little, but felt that the tricks were too straightforward, so he wanted to hear what Chai Yue had to say.
Chai Yue bowed his hands. He was the unnamed and positionless Hengyang Hou Shuzi. Han Ruzi sat on the bed, nodded slightly, deliberately showing arrogance, and did not return to the ground.
Chai Yue's politeness ended here, as soon as he opened his mouth, he seemed stiff and urgent, as if everyone was drunk and I was awake alone, and he had no idea why after he shouted loudly, everyone still refused to wake up.
"Can I have a few words with Juan Hou alone?" Without waiting for Juan Hou to respond, Chai Yue handed over to the two followers respectively, hoping they could go out.
Zhang Youcai and Loach did not listen to his orders.
Han Ruzi was still sitting on the bed and did not invite the guests to sit down.
Chai Yue stood there, her body slightly bent, as if she was afraid of hitting the top of the tent, but in fact there was still a long way to go, "Wanhou doesn't believe me?"
"Your plan? Well, I'm sure it's a good one, just too risky for me."
"No, no, it has nothing to do with the strategy, Hou Juan obviously doesn't trust me, because my surname is Chai?" Chai Yue asked in a daze, rather inquisitively.
Han Ruzi also knew a lot of noble children, but he had never seen such an unsophisticated son, Chai Yue was somewhat similar to Ma Da, who was born as a fisherman, so instead of getting angry, he smiled, "I ask you a few things. "
"Please say."
"do you hate me?"
Chai Yue was taken aback, "I have never met with Hou Juan before, how could I hate you?"
"Do you think I have anything to do with Chai Yun's death?"
Chai Yue shook her head, "I have already inquired clearly, that night, Hou Juan, like everyone else, just accompanied Chai Xiaohou to play around. Wherever he went and how to play was Chai Xiaohou's idea, his death... ...It has nothing to do with anyone else, the only one who should be responsible is the Jin family."
Speaking of that much-loved nephew, Chai Yue lowered her eyes slightly, showing a bit of caution.
"I brought the Jin family to the frontier and let them go back to the grassland."
Chai Yue shrugged, "Marquis Guiyi is already dead, so there is no point in pursuing further investigations. Now is a time of trouble, and the Chai family has to abandon their previous grudges when necessary."
The eloquence of the Chai family is far worse than that of those who are looking for gas. Han Ruzi asked seriously: "If you were me, would you trust a Chai family who met for the first time? And the Chai family wanted me to be the bait. ."
Chai Yue opened her mouth to think for a while, "It's me... I wouldn't trust the Chai family, but I think Hou Juan is not an ordinary person, and my strategy is related to the Jin family..."
The noise outside the tent suddenly became louder, and Zhang Youcai's shrill voice was clearly audible, as if preventing someone from breaking into the tent.
Although Han Ruzi did not have a clear military position, after all, he held the titles of Marquis of Juan and General of Zhenbei, and he was more than a prince.
Chai Yue probably felt that this was an opportunity to please Jianhou Hou and gain trust, and strode to the door, "I'm here..."
Before he could finish speaking, a man rushed in from outside and was bumping into Chai Yue's arms. Chai Yue pushed the man away with both hands, only glanced at him, and immediately let go, staggering back, as if he was really hit and could not stand firm.
The person who came was Cui Teng, the second son of the Cui family. He was also one of the followers of the noble family. The elder brother, Cui Sheng, stayed in his father's army. , which was a routine practice of showing loyalty to the court.
Cui Teng was obviously drunk, his cheeks were flushed, his eyes were fierce, and his body was swaying. He first stared at Chai Yue, not recognizing who it was, then turned his eyes to Han Ruzi, and a smirk slowly appeared on his face, "Hehe, brother-in-law. , why don't you... don't drink with us...?"
Zhang Youcai ran in and was furious, but he didn't dare to pull Cui Teng. The second son of the Cui family was famous for his violent temper. If he didn't agree, he would hit him with a fist.
Han Ruzi waved his hand to Zhang Youcai, saying that he could handle it, Zhang Youcai stood at the door, and Loach stayed outside, not letting others come in.
Chai Yue, who praised Haikou for the second half, nodded embarrassedly to Hou Juan and left in a hurry, he couldn't afford to offend Cui Teng.
Cui Teng didn't know his impression in the eyes of others at all. He walked to the bed step by step, sat beside Han Ruzi, hiccupped, and the smell of alcohol rushed straight to Han Ruzi.
"Brother-in-law..."
Han Ruzi turned sideways to avoid the strongest smell, "Call me Tired Hou."
"Hehe, there are no outsiders, so polite...why?" Cui Teng's face was usually white, but he looked particularly rosy after drinking, "Why don't you go drinking?"
"Too tired during the day..."
Cui Teng glanced at the book on the bed, took a look at it, and threw it back, "What kind of national history do you want to read when you're tired?"
"Do you have anything to do with me?" Han Ruzi couldn't help but think, if the general really let himself take charge of the Xungui camp, the first person to clean up would probably be this guy.
Cui Teng put away his smile and said solemnly, "You have been promoted."
"Promotion to what?"
"Hehe, do you want to hide from your own family? The general will appoint you to protect the army, lead three thousand troops, and five hundred scattered junior generals, all of which are under your control."
Han Ruzi was indeed "little and ignorant", and even knew his own affairs one step later than others.
"I haven't been appointed yet."
"It's a matter of a day or two. Congratulations, everyone asked me to invite you to drink and celebrate."
Han Ruzi shook his head and said, "The Huns are far away, we haven't accomplished much, and the Zhonghu Army is not a big official. What's there to celebrate?"
"It makes sense, as expected of my brother-in-law." Cui Teng wanted to vomit, Han Ruzi hurriedly got down to the ground and let him aside, Cui Teng patted his forehead and smiled: "It's okay, I can hold back. Brother-in-law, help me a busy one."
"Call me Tired Hou."
"Brother-in-law, let me go back to the capital. I really can't stand this ghost place. It's hot during the day, cold at night, and the wind and sand are heavy. If it goes on like this, I'll die here."
"It's only been a month since you came here, and you can't take it anymore?" Han Ruzi didn't have a good impression of Cui Teng at first, and now he looks down on him even more.
"One month? I think it's been ten years. I want to go back to Beijing. Laojun and my mother are also looking forward to my return. The Cui family's men are all in the northern Xinjiang. One must stay at home. This is also human nature. After Beijing, I will fight for your merits and make you a bigger official to replace that old guy Han Xing, who was delayed until he refused to send troops to attack the Huns. All winter, brother-in-law, at least let me Go home for a new year, I will come again next year, and come back as soon as spring begins."
Han Ruzi shook his head helplessly, "I can't help you, even if I really become the Central Protector Army, I don't have the right to release people back to Beijing at will."
Cui Teng stood up hard, leaned over and whispered, "I'll watch your sister for you after returning to Beijing, and don't let her touch other men."
Han Ruzi said angrily, "Who do you take Xiaojun to be?"
Cui Teng tapped on his forehead, "I'm wrong, my sister isn't that kind of woman, I mean I'll help you watch Hou's mansion, and don't let other men approach, I know all the experts in the city who are looking for flowers and willows..."
Han Ruzi got even more angry, winked at Zhang Youcai at the door, and said to Cui Teng, "It's getting late, you can go back to rest and stop drinking."
"I didn't drink much, really, I'm in a bad mood, and the wine here is not good either. Brother-in-law, you must let me go back to Beijing, and my family will help my family. Do me a favor, and I will definitely be tenfold, a hundredfold. In return..."
Zhang Youcai came over to hold Cui Teng and lead him to the door.
Han Ruzi did not want to argue with the alcoholic, so he remained silent.
Cui Teng had already reached the door, turned around suddenly, pushed Zhang Youcai who was caught off guard, and rushed towards Han Ruzi. Han Ruzi's calf screamed like a ghost: "I want to go home! Brother-in-law, I want to go home! I don't want to die here..."
With such a commotion, Cui Teng lost even the last three points. Han Ruzi couldn't laugh or cry, and Zhang Youcai and Zhang Youcai quickly exerted force, and finally broke the two hands of Cui Ergong's legs.
"Hey, he actually fell asleep!" Zhang Youcai both despised and admired.
Cui Teng turned his back to the sky and fell asleep.
"I'll call Young Master Cui's entourage and carry him back." Zhang Youcai said.
Han Ruzi shook his head. After all, this is Cui Xiaojun's brother, so he cannot be treated with the usual courtesy, "Put him on the bed and let him sleep here."
"Let him sleep in my bed."
"I can't sleep anyway, I'm going out for a walk."
Han Ruzi and Zhang Youcai carried Cui Teng onto the bed together, Zhang Youcai sighed, "Madam, such a rare person in the sky and unparalleled on earth, actually has such a brother."
Han Ruzi couldn't explain it clearly, and said with a smile: "Go and call the Cui family's entourage and let them guard. When he wakes up, he will leave."
Cui Teng brought five entourages, all of whom were guarding outside the tent. When he heard the call, he immediately came in and kept apologizing to Hou Juan.
Han Ruzi came out of the tent, and the loach who followed from Chaojia Fishing Village sighed, "I thought it was here to fight. Seeing these guys, I can understand why the people are living so hard."
It was getting dark, and even the Xungui camp was quiet. Han Ruzi could not walk around at will, so he came to the large tent next to him, and wanted to hear what the East Sea King had to deal with Cui Teng. After the second son woke up, he would definitely make trouble again. .
The King of the East Sea really didn't sleep, and smiled at Han Ruzi who came in: "Have you learned about Cui's second child?"
Han Ruzi didn't care about the schadenfreude of the King of the East Sea, and was surprised by the presence of Chai Yue.
Chai Yue was sitting opposite the King of the East Sea, but now she stood up and said, "I'm sorry I haven't explained it clearly. Marquis Juan doesn't know yet. The Jin brothers and sisters have fallen into the hands of the Huns, and they are at stake."
Donghai Wang said: "It's useless to say this, I told you long ago, if you want to be in danger, you have to provide greater benefits."
"Yes." Chai Yue affirmed, "My strategy is very beneficial to Hou Juan."
Han Ruzi motioned for the two entourages to step back, came to the two of them, sat on a stool, looked at the leftovers at the table, and said, "Pour me some wine."
