Chapter 114： behind the scenes

Chapter 114 Behind the scenes

In front of Li Jing, it's not easy for him to do something out of style, but he can't continue chatting with Li Jing here either.

Choosing her hands towards Li Jing casually, Cui Lan said, "I'm going to see my mother, I think I was frightened by the corpses and blood in this place", and then left without looking back.

Li Jing and him are not speculative at all, and Cui Lan wants to leave, Li Jing can't wait for it.

He returned the gift calmly and watched the other party leave.

Another quarter of an hour later, the members of Ye Anlan's guard team completed the finishing work of the battle at a speed far beyond the imagination of the Cui family.

They buried all the corpses of the bandits, packed all the valuable things together and loaded them into the cart, and even the dead and injured horses that had lost their ability to move were quickly decomposed into horse meat, It was stuffed into the wooden trolley in the team with every stitch.

Chang’an, who was in charge of bypassing Cui’s family and going ahead to collect the loot, sent a member of the guard back to report, “Girl, the road has been cleared.”

Ye Anlan nodded, "Go and tell that Mr. Cui."

The guard scratched his head, bit the bullet and went to talk to Cui Lan.

Cui Lan was as expected by the guards, with a haughty attitude full of disgust and disapproval.

Of course, the guards had expected this. What really made the guards depressed and wondered was that it had been such a long time, and the Cui family hadn’t even buried all the bodies of their own guards.

The guards couldn't figure it out. Aren't they afraid that the bandits will kill them? If you don't finish your work quickly, leave this place of right and wrong quickly, and still work hard like embroidering flowers, is this because you are afraid that you will die too slowly?

He has been busy in the front, so he has no idea that the masters of the Cui family have actually been scared out of their wits by those bandits. Even though the bandits had retreated, they still left most of their guards to protect themselves at any time.

There are only a small group of guards left, who are sent by the master to bury the corpse of the companion. This small group of guards totaled less than twenty people. With such a small number of people, the tools for digging holes were not handy, so it would be a ghost if they could speed up.

"Don't care about them, let them bury themselves slowly." Ye Anlan was not used to the other party's fault. He heard from the guard that Cui Lan refused to leave immediately. Suddenly she changed her mind - she didn't wait for "later", she was going to overtake now.

She called Yang Xiaotao, "Go and call a hundred people, and ask them to level the road on the side of the mountain for me."

Yang Xiaotao responded and went to work. Cui Lan, who was standing by the carriage and fantasizing about Ye Anlan and the others coming to help bury the guard's body, was dumbfounded.

He watched helplessly as a hundred or so young and middle-aged men in Ye Anlan's team rushed towards them with tools, and then those who dug the soil, those who laid the planks, and those who moved the stones moved the stones next to their carriage. That section of the mountain road was repaired enough to pass cars.

Then, Li Jing came to say goodbye to the Cui family on behalf of Ye Anlan.

He is personable and smiling, standing opposite Cui Lan, who is amiable as a puffer fish but has a hard time speaking, his temperament and demeanor can be said to be judgmental.

Cui Lan, who has been favored since childhood, really wanted to throw things, swear at people, or even beat people, but thinking that Li Jing is a man of great character who has been overshadowed by great scholars, if he twisted his mouth and said something bad about him, he might want to kill him right away. Reputation ruined.

In addition, Cui Lan's mother intends to investigate whether Li Jing is a suitable son-in-law candidate, and has instructed Cui Lan to invite Li Jing to accompany them all the way.

Concerned about all the above, Cui Lan did not dare to show her son's temper.

He held back his anger, tried to squeeze out a smile with a stiff face, "Brother Li, instead of being with those refugees, it's better to walk with our Cui family all the way. Don't worry, our Cui family's ancestral house is very close to your Li family's clan land." , then I will personally bring the guards to send you back." It just so happens that you can take this opportunity to get acquainted with the real aristocratic family of the Li family.

Cui Lan made a good plan, but Li Jing didn't accept the move at all. He shook his head and rejected Cui Lan's invitation, "Thank you, brother Cui, for your kindness, but I don't intend to return home for the time being, and I don't want to go with brother Cui."

After sending Ye Anlan and the others to their destination, Li Jing still plans to continue traveling. When he finds a bright master he is satisfied with, he will settle down, and then help the other party to conquer the troubled times, and return thousands of people to a prosperous world and peace, Haiyan and Heqing as soon as possible.

This is his lifelong ambition, not to mention that it is just a small Cui family, even if his grandmother and mother, or even the patriarch and elder of their Li clan come in person, he will not come back just because the other party wants him to come back. Home, he just went home obediently without saying a word.

"Aren't you going home?" Cui Lan was so surprised that he even forgot to maintain his superficial politeness. He stared at Li Jing, "The world is so chaotic now, if you don't go home, you won't be afraid."

Li Jing smiled lightly, "I brought the guards with me."

He didn't say a word about his ideals and aspirations, but unlike Cui Lan, he has the haughty idea of ​​"summer insects can't speak ice". He just prefers to work hard silently rather than boasting.

Cui Lan didn't know how to respond to what he said. It can't be said that there are more of them, so it's safer to stay together, right? He was a survivor who was almost picked up by bandits just now, what right did he have to say this in front of Li Jing who had rescued him?

He didn't speak, but Li Jing didn't intend to stay longer, he nodded slightly at Cui Lan, "Brother Cui, take care, and I'm leaving."

After speaking, Li Jing rode away, leaving only Cui Lan behind.

Cui Lan stretched out her hand subconsciously, but she couldn't stop her in time. In desperation, she could only hang her head and report the latest situation to her grandmother and mother.

Not to mention solving the younger sister's marriage, even the idea of ​​using Li Jing to climb into the Li family was lost, Cui Lan was depressed and irritable.

He came to the carriage with a lot of thoughts, and briefly explained the matter to the female family members in the carriage.

Mrs. Cui and Mrs. Cui were fine, they just felt a little bit sorry, but Cui Ting almost didn't tear the veil in his hand.

Although she didn't like Li Jing very much, she always believed that she was born noble and beautiful. She showed up, but Li Jing had no intention of getting close to her family at all, and even preferred to follow those refugees. Willing to stay with their Cui family, which makes Cui Ting very unhappy.

She couldn't hold back, and complained to her brother through the car window, "What kind of Joe is he taking? Do you really think you are a nobleman? So what if you come from a wealthy family? It's just a side child, and the family still doesn't know how to be down. He is a sick child raised by a widowed mother, who grows in the hands of a woman, and is not as good as an official like us."

Before he finished speaking, Cui Ting suddenly heard a voice from his elder brother outside the car, "What are you doing?"
