Chapter 87 My Lord, He Has No Other Choice
"Is this the Jiang family?" Shen Mo, who was wearing silver armor and a white cloak, dismounted and asked the guard standing in front of the door.
"Exactly. I wonder if you are..."
"I am Chen Mo from Beiyan."
"General Shen... General Shen."
"No need to be so polite. Is Madam Cui Liu in there?"
"Yes, yes."
"Please inform them that Chen Mo wants to see you."
The guard hurried in and sent a maid to report.
At this time, Cui Si and Cui Hao were drinking tea in the garden pavilion. Cui Hao was worried: "Sister, if we leave like this, will the Fifth Lady be angry?"
"Yes." Cui Si said calmly.
"Yes...ah, if so then..."
Cui Si glanced at her and said, "Why are you afraid of her? From now on, you are Cui Jiuniang, the fiancé of General Shen, the King of Northern Yan, who is like a brother to you. In the future, you will be the general's wife. Why are you afraid of her?"
"Ah Hao, as a family, we should work together to face the outside world, but if we are bullied internally, there is no reason to give in for the sake of family harmony."
"You have to know that if someone steps on you once and you back off and endure it, they will step on you a second time and a third time."
Things are different now. In the past, Cui Hao's identity was awkward. Both her parents were dead, and her grandmother, Old Mrs. Xu, didn't like her. She was cautious and tolerant, which was right. But from now on, she can no longer be like before and must stand on her own feet.
"It's not just about being Cui's daughter, it's about being General Shen's wife. He can't always be by your side. I don't ask you to do too much, but you have to protect yourself from being bullied."
At this moment, a maid came and said that Shen Mo had arrived.
"Him?" Cui Si was surprised for a moment, then a little happy. "Have all the matters in Pingzhou been settled? Is he here to see Ah Hao?"
Could it be that Shen Mo came to propose marriage?
Cui Si was delighted.
But the maid replied: "General Shen is here to ask to see the Sixth Lady?"
The smile on Cui Si's face faded slightly: "General Shen wants to see me?"
"Exactly."
"Why does he want to see me?" She is not his fiancée, why would he want to see her?
"I don't know about this."
Cui Si was unsure what Shen Mo was going to do, but thinking that Shen Mo was a decent person, and wondering if he had something urgent to do, she agreed: "Then please invite General Shen in."
"yes."
After a while, Shen Mo was led in by a maid. He felt a little embarrassed when he saw the two people, but he still bowed: "Greetings to Madam Cui Liu, Madam Cui... Madam Cui Jiu."
Cui Hao's face turned slightly red, and he felt a little embarrassed.
Chen Mo also scratched his head in embarrassment. He didn't know how to get along with his fiancée!
However, he had urgent matters to attend to and could not take care of these things for the time being, so he immediately stated his purpose: "Madam Cui Liu, could you please accompany me to Chongshan Pass? If you agree, we can leave now."
"Going to Chongshan Pass? What are you going to Chongshan Pass for?" Cui Si's face changed slightly, "Could it be..."
"Yes, my Lord." Chen Mo nodded vigorously. "Madam Cui Liu, you don't know what the Lord has done wrong. In the battle of Chongshan Pass, the Lord wants to fight that Crown Prince Jiang to decide the outcome and determine the ownership of Chongshan Pass."
"What?" Cui Si was shocked. "He wants to fight Jiang Shao to the death?"
Is Yan Xingchuan crazy?
Didn’t she ask Cui Jing and the others to keep an eye on him?
Why is it still driving him crazy?
"This is simply nonsense!" Cui Si gritted her teeth in anger. "When did this happen?"
"It's what happened today."
"Today?" Cui Si's pupils shrank slightly and her face darkened.
"Today." Chen Mo was so anxious that his mouth was about to bubble. "I received an urgent summons the day before yesterday. They asked me if I had finished handling the matter. If I had, I should rush back to Yuanzhou City immediately."
"Madam Cui Liu, I've noticed that the master has been acting strangely lately, and you're the only one who can persuade him. Please come with me to Chongshan Pass."
Cui Si's face looked ugly. She strongly disapproved of Yan Xingchuan's behavior, but she was unwilling to persuade him.
"What's the point of me trying to persuade him? Don't you know that once he makes a decision, even nine oxen can't change it?"
Even though Yan Xingchuan was humble in front of her, sometimes he didn't even dare to say a word when being scolded.
But he is a man with a rebellious nature. Once he makes a decision, he will never change it even if he dies.
"Since he wants to go crazy, I have no right to care. I just hope he doesn't drag me, Cui, down into the gutter. I'll be thankful."
"Look at what you said, as if the master is so terrible." Although Chen Mo complained that Yan Xingchuan had taken the wrong medicine, he still defended him.
He sighed deeply, "In fact, the master is in deep pain. I understand what he is thinking about the matter of Chongshan Pass.
Chongshan Pass is easy to defend but difficult to attack. If we force an attack, and the person guarding it is Crown Prince Jiang, I am afraid that half of the Northern Yan army will be defeated at Chongshan Pass."
"If the outcome of the two armies were determined by the victory of the Lord and Prince Jiang, we could avoid a war and prevent the Chongshan Pass from being littered with corpses."
"My Lord, he has no other choice."
Cui Si flew into a rage and slammed the table. "What does it have to do with me if he has no other choice? Do I owe him anything?"
There is no other choice.
Well, there's no other choice.
That annoying word again!
This bastard Chen Mo is actually very loyal to Yan Xingchuan.
In the previous life, after Yan Xingchuan died and his body was transported back to the Imperial City, he said the same thing, hoping to gain her forgiveness.
What else can I say? I didn't want Yan Xingchuan to have such a hard life. When he left, the people he loved still blamed and hated him.
Husband and wife become strangers, father and son become enemies.
This wasn't supposed to be his ending.
However, Cui Si had her own pride and persistence.
She thought she didn't owe Yan Xingchuan anything.
She and he are one as husband and wife. If he feels that he owes the Lin family something and needs to repay it, she will repay it with him, even if it takes a lifetime.
But he chose to stab her to repay the Lin family's debt. What qualifications does he have to ask for her forgiveness?
Is she really that cheap? Does she deserve it?
She never owes Yan Xingchuan anything!
Didn’t he owe the Lin family and Lin Qingning?
Then she would bury them together, let them be husband and wife forever in the underground, and let him repay his debt for generations to come.
Meeting someone like him is really unlucky.
Chen Mo didn't expect Cui Si to suddenly get angry, and was a little confused.
But he didn't dare to offend Cui Si, so he could only say cautiously, "Why are you so angry? I don't mean any other harm. I just hope you can persuade the Lord not to do it next time. If you don't want to, then forget it."
"Sixth Lady, Ninth Lady, I'm going to Chongshan Pass..."
"Hurry and go."
They are all unlucky things, don't let them get in her way.
