Chapter 141 Sir has been lying in the clouds for too long

This trip might not be very smooth, and both Xie Fangyuan and the head of the Xie family knew it.

But they didn't expect that Beiyan would ask for such a high price and be so powerful.

It's like they're hoping you'll disobey them, so they can send troops to attack you, uproot you, and take over everything.

Patriarch Xie was so angry that his face turned red: "Do you really think that my Xie family is so easy to bully? If so, then there is nothing to talk about."

"Then let's not talk about it." Cui Jing said coldly.

Patriarch Xie: “…”

Patriarch Xie was nearly suffocated by anger. It was not right for him to stay here and suffer the humiliation for a while, nor was it right to leave in anger.

"Why is it so?" Xie Fangyuan sighed. "If war breaks out, the people of the world will suffer. So, why not both sides give in a little?"

Xu Daozhen said, "Sir, you are wrong. A short pain is worse than a long one. Since the people are suffering, after this battle, the world will be at peace. Why should the people fear war?"

"Sir, you are a man of high character and integrity, and the world truly admires you. But you've been living in seclusion for too long, and people have assumed that the Xie family are all good men, filial, kind, and well-educated. Little do they know that to the people of Laizhou, the Xie family is no different from those vicious, evil, and heinous demons."

"If we take from the people and return it to them, then we can settle all grievances. Beiyan is willing to forgive the Xie family's sins. If the Xie family is unwilling, then Beiyan can only seek justice for the people themselves."

Xie Fangyuan frowned. Xu Daozhen's comments on the Xie family made him feel very uncomfortable. In his opinion, even though there were some naughty and dissolute people among the Xie family members, they were not so unbearable.

Xie Fangyuan said, "The Xie family needs to discuss this matter together and give you a reply later."

Even though Xie Fang was the pillar of the Xie family, he could not agree to the 70% land and money offer.

Xu Daozhen nodded, not forcing the other party to agree now: "In this case, sir, please take the Xie family back. When you have considered it carefully, send another letter. If you really want me, I will come to see the master."

Cui Jing stood up and said, "Jingzhi will see you off."

Since they couldn't reach an agreement, he stopped talking nonsense and immediately asked the person to leave. He was very quick and efficient.

Xie Fangyuan took a deep breath and had to get up and leave.

Cui Jing escorted the Xie clan members to the city gate, then said to Xie Fangyuan, "The common people don't know what the Xie clan has done, but many people know it very well, and Northern Yan also knows it very well. If you really want me as a minister, then don't make those moves to conceal it."

"As a human being in this world, wealth and honor are merely external possessions. Only with life can everything else be restored. Goodbye, sir. Jingzhi will not see you off."

This is to remind the Xie family not to think that they can do things without being noticed.

Xie Fangyuan nodded, then got on the carriage and left with the Xie family members.

After everyone left, Yun Kui appeared beside Cui Jing and watched the Xie family members leave with him.

After a long while, Cui Jing sighed, "I hope the Xie family can behave themselves."

"Honest? I don't think that's possible." Yun Kui shook his head. "They've enjoyed immense wealth and power for too long. Who would be willing to give it all up? Today is the day to keep them."

Cui Jing laughed and said, "Then why don't you stay?"

"Northern Yan is an army of justice." Yun Kui straightened his expression and spoke righteously, "Detaining people and threatening the Xie family will have a great impact on the reputation of the master and the Northern Yan army. The master will rise to a high position in the future and cannot tarnish his reputation. Don't you think so too?"

"That's true." Cui Jing smiled, looked up at the clear sky, then turned around and walked back.

He had to write a letter to Cui Si and ask her if she had any good ideas to better capture Laizhou.

So seven days later, the eight people newly selected by Yan Xingchuan also arrived in Xianyang City. Led by Yun Gang himself, they went to pay a visit to Cui Si. Also delivered with them were letters from Yan Xingchuan and Cui Jing.

Cui Si didn't rush to read the letter, but looked at the eight people.

Among the eight men, four of them had extremely murderous auras and resolute faces. They had a kind of iron-blooded murderous aura that only the Yanyun Guards had. What came to their faces was the steady killing spree of the battlefield.

The other four people had different auras.

Yun Gang introduced them, "Their names are Nanxiang, Nanshan, Nanting, and Nansong. They were injured in the past and could no longer stay in Yanyunwei. The code name of Yanyunwei has disappeared. These four are their lives. The Lord personally gave them the surname Yan."

Xiang, Shan, Ting and Song, these are the names of these four people.

"Greetings, Princess Wang." The four of them bowed respectfully.

"No need to be so polite, just sit down. You've all had a hard time along the way."

Yun Gang continued to introduce the other four people: "These four are Yilan, Shaoyou, Guiliang, and Liuchun. Although they were not selected into the Yanyun Guard for some reason, they all have their own strengths and powerful martial arts skills, which are more than enough to protect the princess."

The four of them also saluted.

Cui Si asked them to sit down and then asked them, "I wonder if your master has ever told me that I never force anyone. You are here of your own free will. Do you wish to stay by my side?"

Yan Nanxiang was the first to answer. He said, "Please rest assured, Princess Wang. The four of us are here on our own accord. Princess Wang is the princess of Northern Yan, and the Lord has always been concerned about her safety. Whether for Northern Yan or for the Lord, we are willing to be with Princess Wang."

"Besides, the four of us were injured before and we can't return to the battlefield for a year or so. If we stay with Princess and recuperate well, Your Majesty will be relieved."

"In that case, you can stay." Cui Si nodded and looked at the other four people. "What about you guys?"

One of the young men said, "I like to drink. The Yanyun Guards told me to quit drinking, otherwise they wouldn't let me in. There's not much good wine in the barracks. My lord wanted to arrange for someone to protect the princess, and I heard that she was the daughter of the Cui family of Xianyang, so I came here."

He likes to drink and drinks often, which is why he cannot join the Yanyun Guard.

Cui Si glanced at him, she didn't recognize these people.

In her previous life, she married Yan Xingchuan, and Yan Xingchuan left Yun Gang and ten other people by her side, while Yan Yunwei filled the number, and at one point the number reached 48.

"Wine. Xianyang City has a lot of good wine. I have some good wine here too. But if you stay, I have to make an agreement with you. You should take turns on duty in the future. You can't drink alcohol the day before or on duty."

The young man was dumbfounded at that time.

No way, so even if he came to Wang Ji's place, he couldn't drink?

Seeing his dumbfounded look, Cui Si laughed and said, "Don't worry. Unless I have to go on a long trip or something important happens, you two will be on duty together, one day every four days. You can drink on two of those four days."
