Chapter 338 I'll Just Accept This
Cui Jingdu put all these compliments on Shen Sui. If Shen Sui disagreed, there would be no way to end it.
At that time, he will be called a hypocritical, shameless, disloyal and unkind person, who harms his compatriots. Anyone who knows about this will despise him and despise him and will not want to associate with him.
He couldn't find a foothold.
Shangguan Tong knew that Chen Sui had fallen into a trap, but he still wanted to save Chen Sui. He said, "If we want to get married, the Wu family should have a woman of the right age. Why not change the candidate?"
Even if you really want to get married, at least give Shen Sui a young unmarried woman, that would be better.
However, Cui Jing slapped his thigh and said, "Military Advisor, you don't understand. The Wu family also had a suitable young man of the right age. Why didn't General Shen choose him? It was because General Shen felt that Prince Nanhuai was the best candidate. There was no one more suitable than him."
Doesn’t the Wu family have any unmarried men of marriageable age?
Of course there were, but Shen Sui refused to choose. His heart was vicious and dirty. He insisted on pushing Cui Si to the old man, King Nanhuai, and made her a concubine, under the pretext that King Nanhuai was the most suitable candidate.
Now the eldest daughter of the Wu family is the Princess of Nanhuai. She is just a little older and has several children. Why is she not suitable?
What's wrong with putting yourself in a difficult position for the sake of Northern Yan's cause?
Shangguan Tong sighed again when he heard this. He did not insist, but asked Chen Sui again: "Do you agree or not to this marriage? If you agree, then it's settled. If you don't agree, we can discuss it later."
Whether you want fame or a wife like this, it’s your choice.
Cui Jing said from the side: "If you don't agree, and the peace talks fail, and Northern Yan and Southern Huai go to war in the future, the people who die will all be General Shen's fault. If he is recorded in history books one day, it will all be General Shen's fault..."
"That's enough, stop talking." Chen Sui's face was as dark as the bottom of a pot. "I'll just agree to this matter."
Agree?
Cui Jing was delighted, his brows relaxed immediately, and he was extremely happy.
He said, "If that's the case, then the people of the world will certainly be grateful to General Shen. General Shen is indeed loyal and willing to give everything for Northern Yan."
"My previous speculations about General Shen were due to my shallow knowledge. I am really sorry. I hope General Shen will forgive me and not hold it against me."
Chen Sui was holding his breath, unable to spit it out or swallow it, and was so angry that he was about to explode.
"shut your mouth!"
"Okay, okay, I'll shut up."
Cui Jing is flexible and since he has achieved his goal, he doesn't care about these trivial matters. A few words spoken against him don't matter. As long as it doesn't affect Beiyan and can make Shen Sui suffer, he will be happy.
Seeing that both parties had agreed, Shangguan Tong said to King Nanhuai, "Then let's settle this matter."
Prince Nan Huai nodded and said, "Okay, once Xiling is pacified, it will be time for the two of you to get married."
The two sides agreed that the next step would be to discuss how to jointly attack Xiling.
The two sides dispersed only after the sun set.
Before leaving, Prince Wu asked Cui Jing, "Mr. Cui, where is my Dalang?"
Cui Jing said: "Don't worry, it will be returned to your Wu family intact in three days at most."
Prince Wu heaved a sigh of relief after receiving a firm promise. He looked at Cui Jing and asked, "Mr. Cui seems to have broken off the engagement. I wonder what kind of wife he wants to marry?"
Cui Jing waved his hand and said, "I'm traveling everywhere now and haven't been home for more than a year. I'll talk about getting married when I meet a wife later."
Now he understood clearly that the world was changing, and if the clans of the old era could not rise again, they would have to prepare to leave. If he wanted to get married, marrying a woman from the clan would not be of much use to the Cui family, and there would be too many people and too much trouble. If the other party committed a crime, he would be a drag.
In this case, it is better to find a rising star with a simpler family background to avoid a lot of trouble.
Prince Wu knew that he meant to refuse, so he smiled and said, "Then I wish Mr. Cui to find a good match soon."
Look, it's so comfortable to talk to someone who understands you. Cui Jing nodded: "Then wish us good luck in this battle. Let's meet up someday and have a few drinks together."
.......
Both sides dispersed at the foot of the mountain. After dark, they continued their journey in the dark. It was not until noon the next day that they returned to the camp.
Cui Jing sighed, "I'm exhausted after this day. Military Advisor, General Shen, I'm going back to rest first."
"Go ahead." Shangguan Tong was tired and didn't want to talk to him, so she told him to get out.
"Thank you, military advisor." After hearing this, Cui Jing turned around and left, running faster than a rabbit.
Chen Sui's face turned black: "Just let him go like this?"
Shangguan Tong turned to look at him: "Then what do you think we should do?"
Chen Sui: “…”
What else does he want? What can he do to Cui Jing? Can he beat him up or even kill him?
Chen Sui finally understood Cui Jing's feeling of being so angry that he wanted to kill someone to vent his hatred but was unable to do anything about it.
Shen Sui gritted his teeth, his eyes filled with frustration.
Shangguan Tong walked with him into the tent, saying as they walked, "You've had it too easy these past few years, and you've been flattered too much. You don't take anyone seriously. As long as you think you're doing something right, you don't consider anyone else's thoughts or circumstances."
"For your own selfish reasons, you were disloyal, disloyal to the emperor, and unkind, backstabbing your colleagues. This incident should be considered a lesson for you."
Shangguan Tong also felt that Chen Sui deserved ninety percent of what he got, and the remaining one percent was out of sympathy from the only elder he had because he had watched him grow up.
Shen Sui's expression turned grim: "Do I really want to marry the Princess of Nanhuai?"
Shangguan Tong said: "Since the matter has been decided and you have agreed to it, it is natural to marry her."
"It's true that you can fight, you're very good at it, and you're very brave, but you also need to learn how to behave. Whether it's the Cui family or any other family, as long as they don't commit evil and don't harm Northern Yan, you shouldn't harm them like this."
"You did what you did, and it's only right that they retaliate against you. This matter ends here. Don't cause trouble for the Cui family in the future."
Cui Jing's move this time was indeed ruthless, but it was just tit-for-tat, and it did not affect Northern Yan or the surrender of Southern Huai, so Shangguan Tong could not say that Cui Jing did anything wrong.
To be honest, Shen Sui underestimated the Cui family and hit a wall, which brought him bad luck.
"You go and assemble the troops. We will dispatch them in three days. If we win this battle, you will have accomplished a great feat. Afterwards, I will discuss this with the Lord and inform him that you acknowledge your mistakes. Perhaps you can be exempted from the punishment of guarding Tianmen Pass."
"You will also have a role in the future crusade against the Great Zhou."
Shangguan Tong was also worried that Chen Sui would be hit hard by this and lose his fighting spirit. In this case, he could only put something in his place to keep him hanging.
When Shen Sui heard that there was a chance of a turnaround, his expression softened slightly: "Military Advisor, rest assured, we will win this battle. I will definitely make sure that King Xiling never returns."
"Okay, then you will be the commander in chief of this battle, and I will be the military advisor, coordinating the entire army."
"As you command."
