Chapter 267 I told you not to mess with her
"Where is Princess Wang? What's her attitude towards this matter?" Yan Xingchuan clenched his hands, tightening and loosening them again, his palms full of sweat.
"Princess Wang, she..." Everyone in the court hesitated, not knowing how to start.
Yan Xingchuan was worried: "How is she?"
Manting said: "Princess Wang hopes that the Lord will deal with it impartially."
"Handle impartially? What does it mean to handle impartially?" Yan Xingchuan wiped the sweat from his palms, feeling unsure.
"this......"
"Just say what you need to say. When did you start hesitating?" Yan Xingchuan became a little impatient when he saw that he couldn't even speak properly.
Man Tingzhang sighed and could only say: "Wang Ji said that she would not be wronged, and the Lord also promised that he would never let her be wronged in this life.
If...if the Master cannot do it, then those promises will be void, and the Master will...no longer need to see her."
What Manting didn't dare to say was that he felt Cui Si shouldn't be like this. She seemed to only care about her own happiness and didn't care about Yan Xingchuan's life or death at all.
Chen Sui was the general of Northern Yan. There were only three such generals in Northern Yan, one stationed in Northern Yan City and one stationed at the border. Chen Sui followed Yan Xingchuan south to expand the territory for Northern Yan.
As Northern Yan was vying for supremacy in the world, this person was naturally indispensable.
"Is... is that so?" Yan Xingchuan's face turned pale. "Is that what she said?"
"That's what I said." No one in the court dared to look up at him, and then he said, "Princess Wang has ordered people to stop General Shen in Pingzhou City, waiting for the Lord to come and deal with it and make the decision for the Cui family."
"My Lord, this incident was caused by General Shen. If it weren't for the Cui family's explanation, I'm afraid the matter would have been difficult to resolve."
"Wang Ji also said... that if the Lord feels that the Cui family is no longer useful now that Miaozhou has been conquered, and wants to cross the river and destroy the bridge, the Cui family will intercept Pingzhou and cut off the southward route of the four states of Northern Yan..."
"My lord, if it really comes to that, it will be a big deal." Manting was very uneasy.
The Cui family and Cui Si both care about face. The last time Yan Xingchuan kidnapped the bride, Yan Xingchuan was the King of Northern Yan and made promises to the Cui family, so the Cui family reluctantly accepted it.
But there is absolutely no reason to be slapped in the face again and again.
If Shen Sui led the trouble to Cui's family and finally escaped unscathed, who would take Cui's family seriously in the future?
The Cui family also has to defend their own face and dignity.
But if the Cui family really cuts off the southward movement of the four states of Northern Yan, even if they might be able to wipe out the Cui family, Northern Yan will be ruthless and Pingzhou, Yuanzhou and other places will inevitably be in chaos, and the situation that has just stabilized will also become unstable.
Thinking of this, Manting also felt a little annoyed and resentful.
"There is also the matter of General Shen's marriage. The Cui family questioned General Shen, and General Shen also said that the marriage should be dropped."
"Give it up?" Yan Xingchuan's pale face darkened. "How ridiculous!"
When the engagement was first made, Shen Sui did not put in any effort and was completely indifferent. After the other party finally got engaged, he just casually called off the marriage.
"Let's go, let's go now."
Yan Xingchuan could no longer stay in Chongshan Pass, so he immediately set out for Pingzhou.
On the way, he roughly understood what had happened, and his face looked worse.
Six days later, we arrived at Pingzhou City from Chongshan Pass. The city gates were already closed. Looking up, we saw silence all around. Only the autumn wind blew through the high walls, leaving traces of time inch by inch.
The garrison general was standing on the city wall. Seeing Yan Xingchuan coming from afar, he quickly ordered people to open the city gate and then came to greet him in person.
"Master, you are finally here."
The garrison general also felt that he could not live like this. It was too terrible. A few days ago, the Cui family soldiers were surrounding the city, a full three thousand people. He thought that the enemy was attacking.
It was only when they saw that Chen Sui was staying peacefully in Pingzhou City that these people retreated.
"Where is Chen Sui?" Yan Xingchuan asked with a stern face.
"Living in Pingshan." The garrison general wiped the sweat off his forehead.
"Very good, I'm looking for him." Yan Xingchuan sneered, patted the horse's buttocks, then rode quickly into the city and headed all the way to Pingshan Residence.
Riding through the streets along the way, the once prosperous and bustling streets are now deserted with no one around. Occasionally, I meet a few pedestrians, but they are in a hurry.
Thinking about how bustling Pingzhou City was when he and Cui Si lived in Pingshan years ago, Yan Xingchuan's face darkened again.
.
"Brother Shen, let's go back to Beiyan City." Lin Qingning had been feeling very uneasy these days. "If we leave here, even if the Cui family is very capable, they won't be able to go to Beiyan City to cause trouble for us."
"No." Shen Sui's face looked grim.
Not to mention that there were people from the Cui family guarding them outside their residence in Pingshan, even the Pingzhou governor, Mr. Cui Qi, had come personally to warn him.
If he left, the Cui family would think that Northern Yan could not tolerate people with the surname Cui, and would close the gates of Pingzhou, cutting off the southward movement of the four states of Northern Yan.
This is very unfavorable to Northern Yan.
When Shen Sui thought of this incident, he was annoyed and resentful. He was annoyed that Cui was unreasonable and made the matter worse, and he hated Cui for setting up a trap to plot against him, trapping him in this quagmire and making him unable to escape.
"It's all my fault." Lin Qingning's eyes turned red again, and she sat aside wiping her tears. "If I had known you would get into trouble in Xianyang City, I should have stopped you."
"It's all my fault. I'm useless... If I were braver and stronger, I wouldn't be so sad because of Cui Liuniang's contempt, and in the end, I wouldn't have implicated you."
Seeing her crying so hard, she was swaying and about to faint, so Shen Sui tried to persuade her, "How can this be your fault? It's all...it's all because of Cui Liuniang. If she had agreed to come and see you, how could this have happened?"
"Madam Lin, rest assured. No one in this world can punish me except the Lord. I have worked hard for Northern Yan and made great contributions. In the future, when Northern Yan competes for supremacy, there will be many places where my efforts will be needed. Even if the Lord wants to punish me, he will not do anything to me."
"Really?" Lin Qingning paused and blinked, seeming a little surprised.
"Of course it's true, don't worry."
As soon as Shen Sui finished speaking, someone came hurriedly to tell him that Yan Xingchuan had arrived.
"How could it be so fast?" Shen Sui had just stood up when he saw Yan Xingchuan walking towards the yard.
Lin Qingning paused, then tears welled up in her eyes, and she took a few steps forward and pounced on him.
"Third cousin... uh—"
Lin Qingning had just shouted three words when Yan Xingchuan grabbed her neck with one hand, with a colder expression on his face than she had ever seen before.
"Lin Qingning, how many times have I told you? How many times have I told you not to provoke her? You ignored my words, didn't you? Didn't you?"
