Chapter 373 Solution
Yan Xingchuan and Lin Qingning eventually parted ways on bad terms.
Lin Qingning has her own expectations, and Yan Xingchuan has his own bottom line and persistence.
After Lin Qingning left, Yan Xingchuan walked out of the hall and sat on the steps.
It was afternoon, the sun was high in the sky, and the sunlight was shining on the earth. The September sunlight was still slightly warm, but it could not reach his heart, let alone warm his body.
After an unknown amount of time, Yun Gang stepped forward and advised him, "Master, why don't you go back and rest for a while? You must be exhausted from the journey. Once you wake up, perhaps you will find a solution."
Yan Xingchuan nodded. He was indeed tired. The long journey was understandable, but Lin Qingning had exhausted him mentally and physically.
You said that if he agreed to Lin Qingning, he would feel sorry for his wife, and he really didn't dare.
But if I don't agree, I will feel guilty. I will feel sorry for the Lin family, my parents, my brothers, and Lin Qingning.
He said, "Regarding the bride's reception, I plan to have you take the Yanyun Guard with you. This will also give Qingning enough face so that no one will dare to look down on her."
He didn't go, but his personal guard Yan Yunwei went to pick up the bride in person, which was considered to give Lin Qingning enough face.
Yun Gang nodded naturally: "Then I will take people there that day."
Lin Qingning was going to marry into the Yan family, and marry the former prince, so they naturally had no objection. Moreover, they were not allowed to be grooms, but only guards for the wedding, which was a small matter.
Yan Xingchuan sighed: "It's about the wedding ceremony, I really don't know how to do it best..."
This wedding ceremony is missing a groom. According to common sense, either the groom's brothers will perform it on his behalf, or someone will be found to hold the tablet to complete it.
The latter would really bring shame to the bride and cause people to talk about her, which Yan Xingchuan didn't want to see.
The former would require him to come in person, but he was unwilling to do so.
He had some understanding of Cui Si's character in this life. She would rather not have unclean things, and would never tolerate him slapping her in the face again and again.
More importantly, he was afraid of making her sad.
He kept saying that he wanted to marry her and get married to her, but he ended up putting on his wedding dress, welcoming someone else into the house, and having the wedding ceremony first. What kind of thing is that?
If he really did that, he would have no chance against her.
Yun Gang was at a loss for words and could only stammer and utter nothing.
At this moment, someone suddenly came to report: "My Lord, General Shen has returned."
Yan Xingchuan suspected he had misheard: "Who did you say is back?"
The man replied, "General Shen has returned and has just entered the city. He should be coming this way to pay his respects to the Lord."
"Why is he back?" Yan Xingchuan frowned immediately. "Isn't he with the military advisor in Xiling?"
After taking Xiling, Shangguan Tong accepted the surrender of Nanhuai on behalf of Northern Yan. The newly acquired seven states were temporarily named the Seven Southwestern States. With Shangguan Tong in charge of internal affairs and Shen Sui leading the troops to intimidate the kings of the southwest, and to guard against the return of the escaped King of Xiling, the state could be considered stable.
It's not a good thing for him to leave like this.
Yun Gang also frowned. Before Yan Xingchuan came back, he transferred Cui Jing back to Miaozhou. Now that Chen Sui has returned to Beiyan City, Xiling may be unstable.
But Yun Gang suddenly thought of something and clapped his hands in joy: "My Lord, in fact, the matters of welcoming the bride and the wedding ceremony can also be handled by General Shen!"
"General Shen and the Crown Prince are like brothers. Since the Lord is unable to come forward, it wouldn't be disrespectful to Madam Lin to let General Shen take his place, right?"
The more Yun Gang spoke, the brighter his eyes became. He felt that he had finally found a perfect way to solve this unsolvable problem.
Yan Xingchuan suddenly became alert. This idea... well... seemed to have some merit.
But he had concerns: "He's getting married soon, isn't this inappropriate?"
Yun Gang said, "What's wrong with that? The Princess of Nanhuai has been married three times. Even if General Shen is marrying the Crown Prince once, what can she have any objection to? It's General Shen who wants to marry himself."
"And General Shen must be willing too."
Yan Xingchuan had concerns, but Chen Sui did not. Moreover, Shen Sui would not care about a woman's thoughts when it came to what he was going to do.
Yun Gang felt that Shen Sui would fall sooner or later if he continued like this, but he didn't care about the general's affairs.
Yan Xingchuan was immediately convinced: "Then I will tell him to invite him in when he comes."
I would rather die than let my friend die. Since Chen Sui bumped into me at this time, don't blame him.
With a solution in mind, Yan Xingchuan felt a little better. He asked someone to bring him some water and washed off the dust. When he came out of the shower, Shen Sui had just arrived and was invited in by Yun Gang.
"My Lord." Shen Sui bowed and saluted.
Yan Xingchuan walked by in clogs and asked him, "Does the military advisor agree with your return?"
Shen Sui avoided answering and talked about something else: "I received a letter from Madam Lin. I heard that she was going to marry the prince. After thinking about it, I came back."
Yan Xingchuan stretched out his hand and frowned, then asked, "Does the military advisor agree with your return?"
Shen Sui lowered his head: "Military Advisor disagrees."
Yan Xingchuan's face suddenly darkened: "Military Advisor disagrees, so how did you come back? Did you leave your post without permission?"
Upon hearing this, Shen Sui knelt down and pleaded guilty: "Please punish me, my lord. I am willing to accept all the blame."
Yan Xingchuan was almost heartbroken: "You will bear all the blame. If something goes wrong, can you bear it?"
This is treating military affairs as a joke!
Is this great general really reliable?
Chen Sui said, "Before I left, I dispatched a deputy general to guard the area. I also sent a letter to the military advisor, asking him to arrange all matters. With the military advisor's ability, there will definitely be no major problems with guarding the area."
"Defending the city isn't a big problem, but what if all the kings join forces to attack us?"
"I asked the King of Nanhuai for help."
Yan Xingchuan was so angry that he was speechless. In the end, he could only sneer: "It seems that you have had a lot of dealings with King Nanhuai. You actually trust him so much."
Shen Sui fell silent again.
Yan Xingchuan did not doubt that the King of Nanhuai really wanted to surrender, but in the current situation, Northern Yan had not yet completely taken over the seven southwestern states. Once the King of Nanhuai changed his mind and led his troops to rebel against Northern Yan and establish his own regime, it was not impossible.
Shen Sui stayed there originally because he was on guard against the King of Nanhuai, but he trusted him so much.
Yan Xingchuan stretched out his hand and frowned, feeling that his master was really tired. "Did you come back for Qingning's marriage?"
"Exactly."
Yan Xingchuan said, "I asked her, and she said it was her wish. Since it's her wish, I can't stop her. You and my brother are as close as brothers. Since you're back, how about you pick her up on my brother's behalf on the ninth day of the lunar month?"
Shen Sui paused, then agreed: "Okay."
Yan Xingchuan added, "Also, completing the wedding ceremony for my elder brother and her is now in your hands."
