Chapter 265 May I ask Princess Wang, what constitutes punishment?

Scholars are different from warriors. Warriors believe most in their own abilities and think that as long as they have enough strength, they can break anything. But some scholars like to play tricks.

Just like Cui Jing, before every battle he would make a move, claiming justice, and with his mouth, he would slaughter the entire army and kill the enemy's morale first.

Some even surrendered directly after he spoke.

Today, Mr. Cui Si did the same thing. He first took justice and then asked others to take action. Even if Shen Sui died here today, it was Shen Sui's own fault.

Seeing that the Cui family was really serious about wanting him to stay, Shen Sui felt annoyed and resentful, but he knew that if the situation continued, who knew how many people would die. The more people died, the greater his guilt would be.

In the end, he had no choice but to lead his soldiers to resist while retreating from Xianyang City and returning to Pingzhou City.

They came with great momentum, but left in a mess, like a defeated army.

"Xianyang City is so beautiful," said Mr. Cui Si with a sigh. "It would be terrible if the houses and plants were damaged."

He sighed, then gave another order: "Send 3,000 troops to pursue him to Pingzhou City. If he dares to enter the city, inform Lao Qi to close the city gates and trap General Shen to death inside."

"As for the rest, I'll write to Saburo and let him make the decision."

Nowadays, the Cui family head is still the head of the Cui family, but Cui Jing is different now. Even though he is from the younger generation, he has great power in the affairs of the Cui family and is almost on par with the Cui family head.

Since this matter concerns Cui Si, it is better to let Cui Jing make the decision.

.

"Who did it? Shen Sui?"

When Cui Changyou was helped back to the second branch of the Cui family, Cui Si's head buzzed and the blood in her body began to flow backwards.

Her pupils widened slightly, her eyeballs were bloodshot, and her fingers were clenched into fists.

Cui Changyou clenched his fist to his mouth and coughed: "A Si, don't be angry, I'm fine."

"If something happens, you'll die." Cui Si stared at his pale face for a few seconds, then turned her head away. "Send someone to call a doctor to take a look."

"Someone has already gone to call for help. They will be here soon." Cui Changyou was hit hard by Chen Sui's palm. He held his breath forcibly, and his blood flowed backwards. He vomited two mouthfuls of blood. It was indeed time to see a doctor.

"A'si, please don't tell mother. If she finds out, she'll probably beat me up first."

Cui Si glared at him angrily: "Do you think you can hide it? If you don't want to be beaten, you'd better admit your mistake."

Cui Changyou: "..."

He covered his chest and coughed twice, only to feel the wound hurt even more.

Cui Si warned him: "Uncle, don't do anything stupid next time, or I and my grandmother will beat you together."

After saying this, Cui Si left and went to the outer courtyard to meet Yan Nanxiang and others.

After hearing what happened, Cui Si frowned.

"He really is. For Lin Qingning's happiness, he doesn't care about other people's lives or deaths."

He led his troops to the Cui clan's territory, and regardless of his brother's marriage alliance, he said, "Let the Cui family reconsider" and "Cancel the marriage."

This relationship is not my own, so it doesn't matter even if he is gone.

He wanted to force her to admit her mistake and apologize, but since he was not the one who had to admit his mistake and apologize, he naturally didn't care.

It is others who suffer losses, hardships, and grievances and make life difficult for others. It doesn't matter to him if he doesn't suffer any losses.

Cui Si's eyes grew cold, and after a long pause she suddenly said, "Although Pingzhou isn't as strong as Chongshan Pass, it's also the only way for the four states of Northern Yan to move south. If we close the gates of Pingzhou, do you think we can cut off the southern route for the four states of Northern Yan?"

Yan Nanxiang broke out in a cold sweat.

"Princess Wang, I'm afraid this isn't a good idea. If we close Pingzhou, cutting off the four states of Northern Yan from the southern states, it might be suspected of... treason, and then this matter will become a big deal."

"Big fuss?" Cui Si smiled. "The Northern Yan army marched south, starting from Pingzhou. In less than two years, they captured Yuanzhou, Yunzhou, Laizhou, and Miaozhou. The Cui family may not have made great contributions, but they also made contributions to Northern Yan."

"General Shen, as the general under the Northern Yan King, did not attack the enemy. Instead, he led his men to attack our Xianyang City. I want to know what the Northern Yan King is thinking."

"Do you think my Cui family is no longer useful? Are you planning to do something like 'when the birds are gone, the slingshot is hidden; when the rabbit dies, the running dog is cooked'? You think there is no room for my Cui family anymore."

It was as if a strong wind was sweeping through Yan Nanxiang's mind.

He was busy defending Yan Xingchuan: "Princess Wang, what is the master thinking? Others may not know, but do you know it? Not to mention that with you in the Cui family, he would never dare to touch it. Even if the Cui family has nothing to do with you, he would not do such a thing as crossing the river and destroying the bridge!"

Regardless of whether the Cui family has any merits or faults, even if the Cui family has no merits, as long as they have no faults, Yan Xingchuan will never touch the Cui family.

The Cui family has been operating in Pingzhou for many years. Although they are a clan, they are also a kind family. In troubled times, Pingzhou can live in peace and stability, all thanks to the Cui family. Such a clan cannot be touched for both emotional and logical reasons.

"My Lord, he is the most righteous, benevolent and tolerant monarch in the world."

"There is some truth in this." Cui Si still believed this.

The biggest reason why she didn't hate Yan Xingchuan that much was that he had never touched the Cui family. The Cui family boarded the ship of Northern Yan and really survived this chaotic world, and even became the top clan.

As an emperor, he did have many qualities of benevolence, righteousness, and morality that many other emperors did not have. He also never learned the ruthlessness and cruelty of an emperor in his entire life, and always put the country and the people first.

Fortunately, he died early in his previous life. If he had lived another ten or twenty years, his subordinates would have held too much power and who knows what would have happened.

Several people from Yannan Township breathed a sigh of relief when they heard this, but they were secretly worried about Yan Xingchuan.

"But..." Cui Si frowned again.

Several people's hearts were lifted again.

"However, some people do not take my Cui family seriously and think that they can be bullied at will. In this matter, I also want to seek justice for the Cui family.

Don't worry, the Cui family isn't really planning a rebellion. All the King of Northern Yan needs to do is punish General Shen and bring justice to the Cui family, and this matter will be over."

Yan Nanxiang was worried: "May I ask, Princess Wang, what constitutes punishment?"

"In short, we can't let this go lightly." Cui Si said calmly, "Today, the Cui family lost face, so we must step on his face and return the Cui family's face. Today, a member of the Cui family was injured, so he must suffer the same injury, only then can we be equal."

"By the way, there's also the marriage between General Shen Xiao and Ah Hao. General Shen Da has also said that the marriage is over. In this case, if the Shen family still wants to marry, then General Shen Da must personally come to the gate of my Cui family and apologize to my Cui family."

“If he can’t do it, then please ask General Shen to find another good wife and don’t come to my Cui family anymore.”
