Chapter 363 As for the Lord, let him fend for himself

This does sound a bit depressing.

Alas, the dignified King of Northern Yan, who could change the world with just a wave of his hand, ended up being a complete failure in love.

If Jiang Cinian hadn't had problems himself, Cui Si would have married Jiang Cinian long ago, and he wouldn't have had anything to do with her.

As a result, even now that they have a child, Cui Si still doesn't have him in her heart. She doesn't even let him know about the child, and the idea of ​​them getting married is nowhere in sight.

Yanzhi thought about what Cui Si had done, and felt that Yan Xingchuan was indeed a little aggrieved. However, although she thought so in her heart, she could not lose her attitude. After thinking for a while, she said, "You are wrong to think so. If you ask me, the master is lucky."

"If the master hadn't been lucky enough and favored by heaven, there would be no place for him in this. Now the child is his after all. Although getting married is difficult, sincerity will move mountains and break stones. There will always be a day when that happens, right?"

This makes sense. Even if it is a bit frustrating, it is better than not having the opportunity to feel aggrieved at all.

And now that they have a child, who would have the courage to argue with him?

Seeing Yan Nanxiang's expression relax, Yanzhi continued, "As for you and me, we should just do our respective duties. Song Lu and I will take care of Madam's daily life, and you will protect Madam's safety. As for the rest, we will not interfere."

"Although we all want them to reconcile, you should understand my lady's temperament. If you report this to the Lord, she will see you as a traitor. Since you are disloyal to her, you are no longer useful to her. When the time comes, you will go back to where you came from."

When Yan Nanxiang heard this, his face changed again, and he immediately dared not think of reporting the news.

"Don't worry, I know the seriousness of the matter."

As for the master, let him wish for the best.

......

In the middle of the night, it rained heavily again.

Yan Xingchuan held talks with the kings, but the results were not very good.

When he went out, a personal guard held an umbrella for him. The rain hit the umbrella and dripped onto the ground.

He stepped on the rain-soaked bluestone slab, his face frighteningly cold.

"King of Northern Yan - King of Northern Yan, please stay -" Someone came out of the house and chased after him with an umbrella.

"King of Northern Yan, look at you, you are just young. If the terms are not suitable, you can just talk slowly. How can you be so arrogant as to turn hostile if the negotiation fails?"

This person is the King of Southern Qi among the kings. His surname is Qi and he is a prince who controls two states. He is over fifty years old and is a two-faced person. He always tries to take advantage of the situation between several kings and princes in the south.

Yan Xingchuan didn't even look at him, and said coldly: "Talk about conditions. Beiyan has already given the conditions. I came here in person to give you face. If it is changed to other conditions, I think there will be no room for negotiation."

"Since you are so capable, I am waiting for you to join forces and fight against Northern Yan."

"This king is also waiting for your abilities."

Yan Xingchuan had a tough attitude and his demands were a bit excessive. He wanted the kings to submit to Northern Yan, but he didn't want to leave too much power to the kings, so as not to cause trouble in the future.

According to what he said, he came here today for the sake of humanity. He couldn't bear to start a war again and wanted to give everyone a chance to make a new choice.

Either surrender like Nanhuai or try to see if you have the ability to compete with the Northern Yan army.

Someone overturned the table and cursed, then turned and left.

Some people scolded him for being shameless, self-righteous and youthful.

Some people tried to negotiate with him. They didn't want to fight with Northern Yan, but they were unwilling to give up their power and status. They wanted to continue to be a king who dominated the area.

What's more, he even wants to use Beiyan.

It’s really wishful thinking.

Yan Xingchuan's patience ran out, and he didn't want to argue with these people anymore.

His good intentions were wasted. He thought that since he had the chance, he should not have committed so much bloodshed like he did in his previous life. Since he was rude and refused to give in, don't blame him for not considering his compatriots.

Just fight. Once the army arrives, all the money and land will belong to Northern Yan.

After Yan Xingchuan said this, a carriage drove up to him. He stepped onto the carriage and prepared to leave.

Before leaving, he said to the King of Southern Qi: "I will only give you three days. After three days, I will return to Piaomiao City. Come to see me when you have thought it through. If you don't come..."

"What if you don't come?" the King of Southern Qi asked quickly.

Yan Xingchuan said, "If you don't come, I will think that you have chosen to fight for the world with me. If we meet in battle one day, don't blame me for being ruthless."

Yan Xingchuan lifted the curtain and entered the carriage, leaving in the rain with the Yanyun Guards. The wheels rolled around, and the horse's hooves made a clattering sound as they landed on the ground.

Yan Xingchuan sat in the carriage, leaned against the soft pillow, closed his eyes and rested, no longer paying attention to what was happening outside.

When the King of Southern Qi saw that everyone had left, he returned to the original hall.

This place is a temporary palace of the Great Zhou Dynasty, not far from Laizhou, and was chosen by Yan Xingchuan as the place for talks.

"How is it? What did that kid say?"

"Yes, what did the King of Northern Yan say?"

Several people present asked the King of Southern Qi.

The King of Southern Qi shook his head helplessly: "From my perspective, his attitude is truly arrogant. I'm afraid he won't change."

"Of course we can't listen to him. Beat him up if you dare!" A middle-aged bearded man slammed his hands on the table. "He really thinks we're afraid of him! This is too much! This is really too much!"

"King Xi Zhao, it's easy for you to say that. If you have the guts, fight a duel with Northern Yan first.

"But the situation is now in Northern Yan's favor. If a war really breaks out, we won't gain any advantage unless we join forces. You should think twice before acting!"

"It's all the fault of the Prince of Nanhuai. He doesn't want to fight for the world anymore, so he shouldn't have! Now he's given away seven states to Northern Yan for nothing. Once Northern Yan recovers, I'm afraid we, and the court, will be finished!"

The crowd was arguing endlessly, their faces red and ears flushed as they were about to roll up their sleeves and start fighting. They didn't look like powerful kings, but rather like a crowd of random people who had gathered to have a fight.

Yan Xingchuan said three days and it meant three days. He waited at the border of Laizhou for three days, until sunset, but only waited for three princes whose territories were relatively small.

Yan Xingchuan stood in the corridor of the mountain residence, looking at the golden sun setting in the distance, the rosy clouds dyeing the sky, and the tired birds returning to their nests chirping incessantly.

"Have you thought it through before coming?" he suddenly said. "Since you have come to see me, you must bow down and submit. However, a subject will behave like a subject, and your former power and status will no longer exist. How far you can go in the future will depend on how much merit you have rendered to Northern Yan."

"Furthermore, if you are not clean, Beiyan will also settle accounts with you."

The three of them looked at each other, thought for a moment, and finally sighed.

"Since we have arrived, we have thought it through clearly. We are willing to serve you as our Lord and follow you to pacify the world."
