Chapter 132: The Yanyun Guard's Departure
Cui Si was returning home in a carriage. As soon as she arrived at Qingwu Courtyard, Aunt Deng, who was with Old Lady Xu, came to invite her over.
"How's it going? Is that miracle doctor easy to talk to? Did he give you any trouble?"
Compared to Jiang Cinian, the unknown disciple of the miracle doctor, Baili Boqin is the world-famous miracle doctor. Even an old lady from a noble family like Mrs. Xu dare not offend him.
"That's not the case." Cui Si shook her head, her brows slightly furrowed. "It's just that he doesn't seem to agree with this marriage and wants to take Mr. Jiang away from Xianyang."
"What?" Old Madam Xu's expression suddenly changed. "He doesn't agree? Could it be that he still looks down on you? No, I have to have a good talk with him and let him know that we, the Cui family, are not to be bullied."
It was already Jiang Cinian's dream that Cui Si could marry her, but he actually dared to look down on her. It made him so proud!
Seeing that Old Madam Xu was so angry that she stood up and was about to go to the Jiang family to argue, Cui Si quickly supported her and advised her, "Grandma, don't be angry. It's not that he looks down on me. I see that he is still very satisfied with me."
"Then why doesn't he agree?"
"Perhaps he has some concerns. Let them have a good talk first. We can talk about the marriage later."
Mrs. Xu was a little worried: "What if they can't reach an agreement?"
Can't reach an agreement?
Cui Si frowned. "There are very few parents in this world who don't love their children. Mr. Jiang wants to marry me. He's raised a child for twenty years, how could he bear to separate us? If that's the case, he still doesn't agree, perhaps he has some compelling reason."
"In this case, perhaps Mr. Jiang and I are not destined to be together."
Mrs. Xu paused when she heard this. She looked at Cui Si and said, "If we're not destined to be together, then you... you won't get married? Can you bear that?"
She saw that Cui Si still liked Jiang Cinian very much. At least she was quite happy when the two of them were together.
Cui Si was also feeling a little uneasy. The current situation was really beyond her expectations, and the path ahead, which had been clear, seemed to become confusing again.
If she and Jiang Cinian were to be separated like Liang Shanbo and Zhu Yingtai, what would they do?
Should I force it or let it go?
Thinking of this, Cui Si felt complicated and confused. For a moment, her heart was as if it was tied with thousands of knots that could not be untied.
After a long pause, she said, "Grandma, I don't want to think about these things now. Let's wait until they reach a conclusion. When the waters diverge, we always choose a river to go down."
Mrs. Xu thought about it and said, "If you have some free time, go visit the old man more often. Jiang Xiaolang has been very polite to the Cui family and has put in a lot of effort. You should also be more attentive to his family."
"If Divine Doctor Baili likes you very much, he might agree."
Cui Si nodded: "I understand."
After leaving Old Lady Xu and returning to Qingwu Courtyard, Cui Si sat down on the Arhat chair feeling somewhat tired. She put her hand on her brows, feeling somewhat exhausted.
"What is this?"
At this moment, Yanzhi hurried back from outside and reported to her: "The Yanyun Guard said that they are following the orders of the King of Northern Yan and want to stay with you."
"Stay with me?" Cui Si frowned.
Previously, Yan Xingchuan sent the Yanyun Guards to escort her back. She was not quite agreeable at first, but she considered the safety issue. In addition, since she was a princess, having the Yanyun Guards escort her would make people take her status more seriously. So she did not refuse Yan Xingchuan's kindness.
After arriving in Xianyang City and resting for two days, Cui Si asked Yanzhi to send some money as a thank you gift to thank them for their escort along the way, and then let them return to Yan Xingchuan.
"Please invite them over so I can meet them in person."
There are only thirty-six people in the Yanyun Guard, known as the Thirty-six Generals of Yanyun. All of them are brave and good at fighting, and are fierce generals picked from thousands of miles away. They have accompanied Yan Xingchuan through life and death for many years. No one in Northern Yan dares to treat them as ordinary soldiers.
The same was true for Cui Si.
"yes."
Yanzhi sent someone to invite them over. Cui Si drank a cup of tea and went to the guest garden in the outer courtyard to wait. After a while, the ten Yanyun guards arrived.
"Greetings, Princess Wang."
Everyone bowed and saluted, and even though they tried their best to suppress their emotions, the murderous aura on their bodies was difficult to conceal.
"Please sit down." Cui Si asked them to sit down and asked the servants to serve tea.
"I want to thank you for escorting me all the way back from Chongshan Pass."
"Your Majesty, your words are too kind. I don't deserve your thanks."
One of the leaders spoke back. He was the deputy commander of Yanyun Guard, known as Yun Gang, a calm and composed soldier.
He said, "The Lord has already instructed us to protect the princess. We are just following orders."
Cui Si glanced at the ten people present. Some of them looked familiar. She vaguely remembered that in her previous life, these people seemed to have been with her. Later, some of them fell on a battlefield, and some survived to the end.
Yan Xingchuan, are you planning to send all the people who used to be around her to live with her?
Cui Si frowned: "Then you want to stay with me, is it also in accordance with your master's order?"
Cui Si felt that Yan Xingchuan was not doing the right thing in this matter. In her previous life, she was the Queen of Northern Yan. These people followed her, protected her, accompanied her in guarding Northern Yan, and accompanied her in defending and attacking cities. These were all legitimate things to do.
But in this life she only wants to be a princess living a stable life in Xianyang City. Isn't it a waste of talent for him to send these people here?
Besides, people serve as Yanyun Guards not to live a stable life, but to make achievements and have a good future.
Yun Gang said, "First, the Lord's orders are unbreakable, and we will naturally obey them. Secondly, Princess Wang is the Princess of Northern Yan, and your safety is also very important. We should also protect Princess Wang."
"Princess Wang, you should know that even in Xianyang City, there is no guarantee that there will be someone who wants to kill you. It is our responsibility to protect you. Also, next time you go out, please take us with you."
Cui Si was speechless. After a moment's thought, she said, "Actually, you don't have to worry too much. Xianyang City is the Cui family's territory after all. If I go out in the future, I'll just bring more people with me."
"And if you have the ability, you should follow the master and make great achievements. If Northern Yan conquers the world in the future, you will definitely become a third or fourth rank general."
"If you stay in Xianyang City like this, it will be a loss for you and Beiyan. Then I will be guilty of a great sin."
This made sense, and everyone looked at each other in confusion.
Cui Si thought for a moment and said, "How about this? You guys think about this first. If anyone really wants to stay and doesn't want to go to the battlefield and fight, then just leave two or three of you behind. Based on your abilities, you'll be more than enough to protect me."
"The rest of you, return to your master and do what you should do."
