Chapter 2 Cui Si, Don’t Fall into My Hands
By the Jiang River.
A middle-aged man in a blue shirt and a turban on his head was sitting by the river fishing.
The spring breeze is warm and the wind is gentle.
In the near distance, the lake surface is rippling with green water and fallen flowers floating on the waves; in the far distance, the green mountains are returning to spring, the mountain mists are verdant and dotted with a few flowers, adding a lot of spring to the world.
At this time, the middle-aged man was feeling the spring breeze on the river and said with emotion: "Fishing by the river is a beautiful thing in life!"
Of course, it would be even more beautiful if there wasn't someone squatting next to him, grabbing the grilled fish and munching on it.
What a disgrace, what a disgrace!
The young man was wearing silver armor and a white robe, with a fair and tender face, just like the pretty boy with red lips and white teeth. It was a pity that his energy, like a hungry tiger pouncing on a sheep and gnawing on a fish, was like that of a starving ghost reincarnated.
"Sir, do you think the master really wants to marry a girl from the Cui family?" The pretty boy couldn't help asking while eating.
The middle-aged man who was fishing stroked his silver-white beard with his hand and said, "After crossing the river and going forward, we will reach Pingzhou. In three days, we will reach Pingzhou City."
The Cui family wanted to form an alliance with the Yan family, and Yan Xingchuan married a Cui daughter as his queen. The Cui family was willing to follow the Yan family's lead, and the first great gift was to offer the Pingzhou land as Yan's territory.
Yan Xingchuan led his troops south this time to take over Pingzhou. Since he had accepted Cui's generous gift, there was no reason for him not to marry Cui's daughter.
"But I'm still a little uneasy. So many people have wanted to marry me to you before, but you've always refused. And yet you actually agreed this time. Tell me, why did you agree?"
"Maybe he's getting older and knows he should get married."
"Puff!" The pretty boy nearly spat out the fish in his mouth. He finally managed to swallow it and immediately started cursing, "Shangguan, old thief, stop talking nonsense. Do you think you are the master? You think about getting married every day."
"That's wrong, that's wrong, you silly boy, you're just too young. There's no man who doesn't want to marry a woman.
The master is not a god in heaven, so naturally he would want to marry a wife..."
The spring light shines on the river surface, the wind blows across the water, the waves ripple slightly, and the water light sways.
Fishermen came with bamboo rafts, creating long ripples on the water...
A long arrow flew through the air, and the wind whistled—
Yan Xingchuan woke up from a dream in which the light flickered. When he sat up, he reached out and touched his heart, but the arrow that took his life was not there.
Outside the tent, there were hurried footsteps coming and going.
The young general in silver armor and white robes, carrying a red-tasseled spear, hurriedly lifted the tent curtain and walked in. Seeing that Yan Xingchuan had woken up, he was overjoyed: "My lord, you are awake."
Three days ago, the Northern Yan army arrived at the bank of Jiangshui River and encountered an ambush. Yan Xingchuan was distracted and almost hit by an arrow, but he was so frightened that he fell off his horse and fainted. He woke up after a day and a night.
After waking up, I had an unbearable headache and could not fall asleep. The lights and shadows in front of my eyes were shaking and it was difficult to see things.
After discussion, the few people who could speak well set up camp on the bank of Jiangshui River and waited for Yan Xingchuan to get better before crossing the river.
"Chen Mo." Yan Xingchuan recognized the person. "What's going on outside?"
"A few scoundrels." The young general in silver armor and white robes had a cold expression on his red lips and white teeth. "Don't worry, my lord. There's nothing to be afraid of."
Yan Xingchuan nodded, stood up and put on the armor hanging on the rack nearby. Seeing this, the attendant beside him came up to help.
He was tall and slender, with a cold and imposing aura. When he stood in front of people, he was like a mountain, pressing them down to the point of suffocating them.
Chen Mo keenly noticed that Yan Xingchuan's aura had changed over the past two days, and it seemed that he gave people a stronger sense of oppression.
"Why is your lord wearing armor? They are just a few ruffians. With my brother outside, nothing will happen to them."
Yan Xingchuan said, "After we take care of those people, we'll order our troops to break camp and cross the river."
"But the master's body..." Shen Mo wanted to say.
"My body is fine." He turned his head, his stern face with sharp lines, as if it was stained with the solemnity and coldness of the north wind. When his sword-like eyebrows were slightly frowned, it seemed as if the scorching sun in the sky and the earth had retreated.
In fact, he is not that old, only twenty-two this year, but when he was thirteen, he led the soldiers of the northern border and used Northern Yan as a base to rebel against the Great Zhou, and was called the King of Northern Yan. In the years after he became king, he gradually annexed the territories to the west and south.
To date, it has become one of the major trends in the fight for supremacy in the world.
After receiving Cui's surrender, the Yan army crossed the river and headed south. When they reached the other side of the river, they would be met by Cui's clansmen. Then, the Yan army could occupy Pingzhou without losing a single soldier, and then use Pingzhou as a stronghold to continue their march to the east, west and south.
"We have been delayed for three days and have yet to cross the river. The Cui family has been waiting for a long time but has not seen anyone. They think that our Yan family is not keeping its promise. Moreover, if we delay too much, the Cui family will be in danger. We should fight quickly and capture Pingzhou."
In the previous life, the Cui clan members were waiting on the other side of the river and were also ambushed. Even though the Cui clan was well prepared, many people still died.
In this life, although Yan Xingchuan sent soldiers across the river in advance, it was indeed inappropriate to delay too long.
"Get people ready to cross the river."
"yes."
Chen Mo took the order and left, while Yan Xingchuan continued to put on his armor. When he was done and was about to reach out to adjust it, a flash of light and shadow appeared in front of him, and a slim woman in red appeared.
She leaned over and reached out to help him adjust his armor. Her beautiful and gentle face still had a gentle smile, just like before. Finally, she said to him, "Husband, take care of yourself."
Yan Xingchuan was stunned and reached out to touch it.
But at the moment of touch, the light and shadow disappeared.
Yan Xingchuan felt a sharp pain in front of his eyes again.
He still remembered the last time he left and asked her to wait for his return.
When he has pacified the world, he will retire with her and never concern himself with worldly affairs again.
It’s a pity that he never came back after he left.
His great revenge was achieved and the world was at peace, but he couldn't bear to leave his wife and children, so he kept wandering around the world.
When he returned to the imperial city in a daze, his son had already ascended the throne and presented a number of carefully selected handsome men to his mother.
And he declared:
Mother, look at these people. They are more caring and stronger than father. I promise they will serve you well.
This is really his great son!
And she accepted it with a smile, letting these handsome men serve her, one of them massaged her shoulders, one gave her a back rub, and one fed her grapes.
When Yan Xingchuan saw this scene, he almost went crazy and felt that his coffin lid could not hold it down.
However, this anger made him go back south to marry Cui's daughter.
"Cui Si..." Yan Xingchuan gritted his teeth, his face darkening, "Don't fall into my hands!"
......
"Cui Si... don't fall into my hands..."
Cui Si woke up from her dream with a start, and broke out in a cold sweat.
"Sixth Lady, we've arrived at the main residence."
The driver's voice coming from outside made Cui Si wake up completely. She remembered that she had fallen asleep on a soft pillow on the way to the main house.
I think she is crazy, how could she hear Yan Xingchuan's voice.
Besides, it is unlikely that she and he will ever meet again in this lifetime, so what else can he do to her?
