Chapter 1708: Swords flare at the touch of a button

The sound is not that loud, and everyone is making a noise in the lobby, but everyone still hears it, but the reason is not because the sound is loud or thick, but because the sound sounds strange, as if two pieces of rust The blades were rubbed out and had a harsh feeling.
As soon as I heard this sound, I felt a pain in my ears.
Everyone immediately looked up and looked out.
At this moment, a group of people followed, these people were very neatly dressed, all wearing dark red robes, covered with a black coat, and tall, one by one, as if coming in neatly It's like a curtain. The person walking in front is not the same as the person behind him. His clothes are more gorgeous than others, and he is tall, but he is very thin. He can almost be described as strangely thin. The body, like a bamboo pole, flutters in the wind, without the elegant sense of grace, but has the feeling of a boneless snake.
I don't know why this thought came up in my heart. I wanted to laugh subconsciously, but immediately blocked my face with the wine glass in my hand.
This person naturally did not know that I slander him in the belly, but just glanced at the lobby with his savvy eyes like foxes, and immediately, his eyes fell on Pei Yuanxiu.
When he saw him, everyone around him frowned subconsciously.
And I recognized at a glance that he was right next to this person, the young man who was similar to him in clothing and had a similar eyebrow and eyebrow, was the one who visited the station with Song Xuan that day to meet Pei Yuanxiu.
It seems that this should be named in Cangzhou and the Song family, the Cui family.
At this time, Song Huaiyi has taken a step forward: "Brother Cui Tai, why are you here?"
Cui Tai, this reputation, in fact, I am no stranger.
His father is the close guard Cui Shi next to the emperor. It is said that Pei Ji trusted him quite much. He even wanted to make this Cui Shi an official. However, Cui Shi ’s son, which is Cui Tai in front of him, is weak and sick since childhood. Cui Shi resigned and returned to accompany his wife and children. Pei Ji felt his loyalty and released him to return to his hometown. When he remembered him often, he was rewarded with something from the palace. Those officials naturally had a wink. When the emperor loved the Cui family so much, he naturally took care of him, and the Cui family developed in Cangzhou.
And this Cui Tai seems to have survived the most dangerous condition of those two years. Although it still doesn't look very healthy, this way, it should not be a problem to live another few decades.
I was still thinking, Cui Tai had come in from the outside, and his eyes and brows were cold, and he looked at Song Huaiyi and said, "Why am I here? If I don't come, I'm afraid I won't see Where is the boy? "
As soon as this word came out, everyone around felt that the atmosphere was a bit wrong.
He doesn't seem to come to see the son, but more like trouble.
Song Huaiyi frowned, and closed his mouth immediately, while Pei Yuanxiu stood up beside the table, Cui Tai immediately walked in front of him, and extended his gift with a long arm: "Meet the son."
Pei Yuan said: "You are here."
Cui Tai said: "Since the son has arrived in Cangzhou, why not tell the next, at least it should be the next landlord's friendship."
Pei Yuanxiu said calmly: "It wasn't originally intended to come here so early, but it was because of-light body discomfort, and just happened to talk to Huaiyi that day, and it was convenient to come and go."
Cui Tai raised an eyebrow and turned to look at me: "This is it, Miss Yan?"
I blinked and looked at him. Seeing that he just wanted to confirm my identity, and didn't mean to say hello to me, I didn't move.
Pei Yuan said: "Yes."
"Then, Madam ..."
This time, Han Ruoshi stood up.
Cui Tai immediately bowed her salute to her: "Meet my lady."
Han Ruoshi raised his chin slightly and said with a smile: "In fact, Yuan Xiu and I had wanted to see Brother Cui for a long time. Yuan Xiu also often mentioned you with me. I didn't expect to get what I wanted today."
Pei Yuanxiu glanced at her.
I think that Pei Yuanxiu had mentioned Cui Tai with her. Since going north to Cangzhou, it is inevitable to meet up, but the kind of deliberate closeness in Han Ruoshi's words must not be heard by Pei Yuanxiu alone.
So, Song Huaiyi's face changed a bit immediately.
However, in the end, he was still a master, and he was still so calm. Seeing that Cui Tai had entered the lobby, it was naturally impossible to drive people out. He coughed, and the servants behind him immediately approached him Around him, he whispered two words, and the people below were immediately busy, adding two more chairs on both sides of the original round table.
Pei Yuanxiu is a noble guest, of course, sitting on the top. As the master, he is sitting next to Pei Yuanxiu, and since Cui Tai is the two pillars of Cangzhou City, which is just as important to him, he must sit on the other side of Pei Yuanxiu. It was only that Han Ruoshi was sitting next to Pei Yuanxiu, and Cui Tai naturally moved a place.
This pattern is certain, and the faces of these people have become very complicated.
I sat at the young man brought by Cui Tai. This person should be his son. Then he looked at the complicated expressions on the face of a table. I couldn't help but feel a little funny, but of course it was not easy to speak at this time. Strikingly, it is best to keep everyone from paying attention to me, so I twisted the wine glass in my hand, waiting for the host to announce the opening.
Song Huaiyi went through this small change, but it was still calm, and he was instructed to fill the Cui family with the wine, and then said, "We still have a glass of water and wine, and respect the son and wife first ... and Miss Yan. "
Seeing everyone around me stood up, naturally I stood up obediently and drank this cup with them.
The drinks are also selected, warm and mellow, and it feels refreshing to drink.
But Cui Tai drank the drink, and frowned, "I said, Lao Song, the son and wife are rare. Why do you come out with such a wine, why not bear with your good wine?"
Song Huaiyi's face sank.
Before he could say anything, Cui Tai raised his hand and greeted the person he brought to him: "Take out a good wine I brought and give it to my son and wife."
His servant immediately scooped out a wine jar from the back and patted the mud seal. Sure enough, he smelled a strong scent of wine. It was like a heavy punch hitting people's heart. The wine just taken by Song Huaiyi has another flavor.
The servant poured the wine into a jade pot, and then served it to him. Cui Tai said, "My son and wife come and wine."
There was no expression on Pei Yuanxiu's face, but his lips were lined up.
Usually at this time, it's probably time for him to be vigilant.
Sure enough, Song Huaiyi was repeatedly face-faced by Cui Tai. At this time, his face couldn't stop, and he said coldly, "Lao Cui, what do you mean?"
When Cui Tai heard this, his face seemed to show a little pleasure, and he turned around and looked at him: "What? I bring my own wine to drink for the boy, is there anything wrong?"
Song Huaiyi snorted coldly with his nose: "I heard for the first time that I came to visit and brought wine myself."
Cui Tai laughed twice: "Lao Song, if you have good wine here, why should I come over in a snowy day and bring a bottle of wine myself?"
I want to come to these two collections, each has its own advantages. Even if the Cui family surpasses the Song family in drinks, it may not be something to brag about, but Cui Tai's repeated mention at this time will inevitably make Song Huaiyi's face even worse. But in the end he was jealous of Pei Yuanxiu's presence.
But he held back, but Cui Tai didn't plan to stop there.
He sneered and went on to say, "Like I said just now, you have the heart, and wish your son the horse is a success, but it's because Cangzhou City hasn't been able to attack for a long time now."
"...!"
At this moment, Pei Yuanxiu's brow frowned.
And Song Huaiyi's complexion has completely changed. Although Cui Tai has been provocative everywhere, he is still talking about insignificant gossip. As a host, he can tolerate but can't help but also sees that he is not in harmony with Cui in front of Pei Yuanxiu. If you think about it, you can mention that Cangzhou City can't be attacked for a long time. This has already involved major events, which obviously cannot be said with confidence.
As soon as Song Huaiyi gritted his teeth, his eldest son Song Hua who was sitting next to him had patted the table and stood up, "What do you mean ?!"
Cui Tai glanced at him in the corner of his eye, but didn't speak, and his son Cui Jiancheng behind him patted the table and stood up: "Are you rude ?!"
"I'm rude? This is the site of my Song family. Who is the one who walks into the sky without a doubt!"
"My father is just asking business, why is it lawless?"
"Ask the matter? Is this how you ask ?!"
"How else to ask? Obviously your siege is not good!"
...
Seeing the already tense atmosphere on both sides, Pei Yuanxiu suddenly cleared his throat.
In the end, these people are still reasonable. As soon as they heard his voice, the two angry young men immediately calmed down.
Song Huaiyi immediately said: "Hey, sit down!"
Cui Tai also raised an eyebrow, and said with a smile: "Jiancheng, it's rude."
The two young men were yelled at, but they were still very unconvinced. Like two angry lions about to rush up, Song Huaiyi with a blue face, still arching to Pei Yuanxiu: "My son, the next godson has no way, and disturbed the son."
Cui Tai sneered: "Teaching a child is a small matter. If you are afraid, teaching a child is a small matter, and it will affect the big things."
Song Huaiyi raised his head and stared at him like a knife.
Pei Yuan Xiu'an was quiet, at this time slowly said: "I just said, siege is not good, what's going on?"
