Chapter 138 The Xie Family Has Prospered for Too Long
It is indeed rude to swear at others, but it is unreasonable that you can swear at me but I cannot swear at you.
Cui Jing is not the kind of person who would swallow his anger and suffer losses.
Besides, he is not in a hurry now, so he can just play with the Xie family members. No matter what they want to do, he will accompany them to the end. Just don't be anxious or cry.
The Xie clan member was the direct descendant of the Xie clan, from the generation of the Xie clan master. He had lived for thirty or forty years, and was scolded by a junior like that. He was so angry that he almost fainted: "You, you, you..."
"Okay." Xie Fangyuan felt a little tired. He hadn't even met the King of Northern Yan to discuss the affairs of Laizhou yet, and already so many troubles had occurred.
"Old Four, you shouldn't have said such outrageous things and cursed at others. Apologize to Jingzhi. Jingzhi, although he did something wrong, he is still your elder. It's wrong for you to disrespect the elders. Apologize to him as well."
Does this mean that both sides can just give each other a slap on the wrist and let the matter go?
But since Xie Fangyuan has already spoken, I have to give him face.
Cui Jing didn't want to offend the entire Xie family, and winning or losing in a verbal dispute didn't mean much, so he bowed respectfully to Fourth Master Xie and said, "I'm sorry for my rudeness, please forgive me."
Xie Siye accepted Cui Jing's gift and sneered, "Then don't do it again next time."
Xie Fangyuan asked them to apologize to each other. He accepted Cui Jing's gift but did not return it, and even said such words.
"Fourth Brother." Xie Fangyuan's tone turned cold. "Apologize."
"Uncle." Fourth Master Xie's face turned grim. "Could it be that Uncle is so eager to boost others' morale and destroy his own prestige, or is it that our Xie family is afraid of the King of Northern Yan?"
Tsk!
You are really brave.
It seems that the upper beam is crooked and the lower beam is crooked. The boy outside the city gate is so arrogant, it turns out that the upper beam is crooked.
"He's nothing but a traitor—"
Before Mr. Xie Si could finish his words, an arrow flew through the air and pierced his heart. He was then shot out and hit a tree nearby, then rolled down.
When he landed, his face was already pale and he was breathing out more than he was breathing in.
"Fourth brother!"
"Fourth Master!"
The Xie clan members started to panic. Seeing this, Cui Jing quietly retreated to avoid being accidentally injured.
He really has the disease of 'wealth, honor and power', and thinks he is the emperor, doesn't he?
Standing on the territory of Northern Yan, he actually dared to insult the King of Northern Yan. He really didn't know how to die.
What? Do you think the Northern Yan army that emerged from the sea of blood and corpses is made of cotton balls?
If someone says to kill you, then kill you.
It would be a waste of life if he died, and even his family might have to pay the price for it.
"Insulting the Lord is a crime worthy of death."
At this moment, two soldiers wearing black armor and with stern faces appeared on the attic not far from the roadside.
Just after this man opened his mouth, thousands of archers suddenly appeared from the surrounding houses.
"Since you are so disrespectful, there is no need to discuss peace talks anymore. Everyone, please stay here."
Everyone, please leave your lives here.
It was at this moment that Fourth Master Xie stuttered for a while and then died.
The Xie clan members were in chaos.
This is really murderous...
The head of the Xie family was even more furious. He killed the Xie family members in front of them, which showed that he did not take them seriously.
"You're going too far! You're going too far!"
"Do you think that the Xie family is easy to bully?!"
Your Xie family is not easy to bully, but the Northern Yan army is even harder to bully.
As soon as Patriarch Xie finished speaking, arrows rained down, and in a short while, hundreds of people were killed or injured.
"Retreat! Let's retreat!"
"Master, it's bad, the city gate is closed."
Upon hearing this, the head of the Xie family almost vomited blood: "Good, good! If the Northern Yan army acts like this, I wonder who will be willing to follow them in the future. My Xie family will definitely fight to the death with Northern Yan..."
"Shut up!" Xie Fangyuan's expression changed. "Stop talking nonsense!"
"Old Four's words were disrespectful and he deserves death. There's no need to say more. Those of you on the other side, we've come here to pay our sincere respects to the King of Northern Yan. Please put away your weapons."
"Uncle, they—"
"Shut up! Do you want to look at where you are?" Xie Fangyuan was really angry.
However, in the short time he had been in the city, he had first offended Cui Jing and caused many troubles, and now he was being killed because he dared to disrespect the King of Northern Yan.
This is Yunshang City. The garrison here is the Northern Yan Army. The city gates are closed again. They are like the turtle caught in the jar. If the other party is a little stronger, they will really kill you all if they say so.
If they all died here, half of the Xie family would be destroyed.
Patriarch Xie came back to his senses in a daze, and then he remembered where he was, and his face froze for a moment.
In the current situation, Yunzhou has become the Yunzhou of the King of Northern Yan. It is no longer the place where the Xie family of Laizhou could act tyrannically in the past. If you are not careful, others may really dare to kill you.
Xie Fangyuan closed his eyes: "Everyone, please put away your weapons."
"You are not allowed to be disrespectful to the master. If you are caught again, you will be executed on the spot." Yanyunwei said.
"Okay." Xie Fangyuan agreed.
Only then did the Yanyun Guards stop and retreat the archers.
Cui Jing reappeared in front of the Xie family. He bowed to Xie Fangyuan and said, "Old sir, considering that our two families are closely related and have supported each other for many years, I would like to give the Xie family a few words of advice."
"Times are different now. It's time for those who understand the current situation to be heroes."
The present is different from the past, and the Xie family is no longer the same Xie family. If they want to survive this chaotic world safely, the family members must be well-educated and learn to give up some of their possessions.
Xie Fangyuan glanced at Cui Jing and said, "I'm grateful for your advice. Many people don't see things as clearly as you do."
Cui Jing said: "That's not the case. I'm not the only smart person in the world. It's just that some people are always in a dream and only want to stay drunk and not wake up."
Is there no smart person in the Xie family?
Of course there are, but some people can't bring themselves to give up their dignity, and some people are unwilling to give up the wealth and power in their hands, the beauty of holding the world in their hands.
I just want to be drunk forever and never wake up.
That’s all.
Xie Fangyuan raised his eyelids and looked at Cui Jing: "The Xie family has been prosperous for too long."
It has been so long that they thought they were the king of Laizhou, and so long that they even ignored the imperial court and the King of Northern Yan.
"Take me to see the King of Northern Yan."
Cui Jing said, "Sir, please don't be surprised. The King of Northern Yan ordered Mr. Fang and I to discuss the matter with the Xie family first. Once the results are in, we will report to him and he will make the decision. Sir, are you ready to go?"
"If you don't go, Jingzhi will have the city gates opened and send you away."
Xie Fangyuan was surprised: "I thought we were going to be detained here."
Cui Jing said: "Northern Yan is a righteous army."
Xie Fangyuan looked at Fourth Master Xie who was shot to death by an arrow.
Cui Jing's expression remained unchanged, righteous and calm: "Insulting the Lord is punishable by death."
"He should be executed."
