Chapter 188 His nephew is Jiang Cinian
It was already midnight, and the winter wind was blowing, making the sky cold and bleak.
Yun Gang personally held a lantern and asked Cui Jing to meet Yan Xingchuan.
He slowed down his pace a little to give Yan Xingchuan more time, but his dawdling was so conspicuous that Cui Jing became a little impatient.
Cui Jing patted his shoulder and said, "If all the Yanyun Guards act like you, I really doubt whether Northern Yan still has a future."
These words were not pleasant to say, and usually everyone avoided them and dared not say them, but Cui Jing was not afraid at all at this time.
Yun Gang's expression changed, and he quickly said, "Look at what Mr. Cui said. I just got here and didn't remember the way well, so I walked a little slowly."
"Have you remembered it now?"
"Of course I've made a note of it." Yun Gang didn't dare to provoke him again and hurriedly invited him over. "Please come this way."
Cui Jing nodded: "It should have been done long ago. The Yanyun Guards should behave like Yanyun Guards. Otherwise, I would have thought that Beiyan looked down on my Cui family and wanted to humiliate me and drive me away."
"You overthink it."
When Yun Gang brought Cui Jing over, Yan Xingchuan had just finished drinking a bowl of medicine. There was some light snow outside. When the wind blew, the snowflakes rushed in with the wind and two pieces fell on the doorstep.
Cui Jing stepped over the threshold and took a look at the furnishings in the house. It was clean and tidy with only some tables and chairs. It seemed that no one had lived there for a long time.
"Please sit down." Yan Xingchuan said.
Cui Jing turned his head and looked outside the house. The wind was still cold. Although the snow was small, it quickly accumulated on the ground.
Cui Jing looked down at his cuffs and said, "You said you wanted to talk to Liu Niang in person and let her decide whether to marry or not. I believed you and helped you.
I thought that even though there was a difference between the monarch and his subjects, there was still some affection between them. I also thought that even though you liked Liu Niang, at least you, the King of Northern Yan, should have some sense.
But what Yan Xingchuan did was a slap in the face to him.
"Rational?" Yan Xingchuan lowered his eyes. "I have never been so rational."
After traveling thousands of miles and spending many days, he finally snatched her from someone else.
He is sensible and knows what he is doing.
In fact, before he met Cui Si, he was still thinking about whether he could talk to the Cui family, but after meeting her, he made up his mind to take her away.
"But it's my fault after all. How about I take responsibility?"
"Take responsibility! How will you take responsibility?" Cui Jing turned to look at him, his calm and composed face torn apart, revealing disdain and anger. "King of Northern Yan, what a King of Northern Yan!"
"I'm responsible. She'll marry me." Yan Xingchuan said calmly, "I'll give her the best of everything in the world. Whatever she wants, as long as I have it, I can give it to her."
"You are dreaming! What are you dreaming about?" Cui Jing sneered.
It's really wishful thinking. He stole the bride and wanted the girl to marry him.
"A'si won't agree, I won't agree, and the Cui family won't agree either."
Don’t the Cui family have any respect for their reputation?
Cui Jing's breathing was heaving, his heart burning with anger, his face flushed crimson. "I won't argue with you about this. Return Ah Si to me, and I'll take her home."
"You can't take her back."
"Yan Xingchuan!" Cui Jing's face was filled with rage. He took a few steps forward and grabbed him by the collar. "Don't force me to hit you now!"
Yan Xingchuan lowered his eyes and took a look, his face expressionless. He said, "If you want to attack me, go ahead. I will never fight back."
He robbed someone, so he deserved to be beaten by the other person's brother.
If this beating could make the Cui family feel better, he would be more than happy.
"You think I don't dare?"
"If you dare, then do it. Today, we are not talking about status, but individuals. Even if you do, no one will dare to say anything wrong."
"You're so brave." Cui Jing was so angry that he walked out when he saw Yanyun Guards guarding the door, then reached out to pull out the sword at the guards' waist.
Yan Yunwei's expression changed drastically, and he reached out and held his hand.
"Mr. Cui, it's passed."
In the end, Yan Xingchuan was wrong in this matter. Cui Jing wanted to beat him, and Yan Xingchuan accepted it willingly. It was not the turn of these personal guards to say anything. But if Cui Jing used a sword, it would endanger Yan Xingchuan's life, which was not allowed.
Yun Gang plopped down and hugged Cui Jing's legs: "Mr. Cui! Please calm down, you must calm down."
"It is indeed the Lord's fault. If you are angry, you can beat him up, but please do not use a sword. A sword has no eyes and can kill someone if you are not careful!"
"The master hasn't married yet and doesn't even have a child. If something really happens, what will Beiyan do?"
When Yan Xingchuan heard the words "You haven't even gotten married yet and don't even have a child", the corner of his mouth twitched.
Although it is the truth, it is so harsh.
"All of you, let go." Yan Xingchuan said calmly, not caring about these things. He just looked at Cui Jing and said, "If you have the courage, go ahead and do it. No one will hold you accountable for what happened today."
"No one will hold you accountable? That's more plausible than anything else." Cui Jing sneered, loosening his grip and giving up the thought of drawing his sword. "If you die, Beiyan is finished, and the Cui family is finished. I am the sinner of Beiyan and the Cui family!"
It's a disgusting thing that the situation is stronger than people.
Cui Jing didn't want to argue with Yan Xingchuan anymore: "I'll say it again, give me Ah Si. If you force me again, I will make sure you never have the chance to marry Ah Si in this lifetime."
"You have to understand that Ah Si and I are from the same mother and are siblings. If I don't agree with her marrying someone, she will definitely not agree. You have no moral principles or loyalty, and you are simply a piece of shit. As a human being, I would never push my little sister into this fire pit."
This move is simply a sure kill.
Yan Xingchuan's expression finally changed.
He was not afraid that Cui Jing would attack him. If Cui Jing really had the courage to do so, even if he died, it would be what he deserved, and he would have no complaints.
But he also bet that Cui Jing would not dare.
But if Cui Jing really holds a grudge against him, he will probably face another obstacle in his pursuit of his wife in the future.
This is a big deal.
Yan Xingchuan didn't dare to delay any longer and had to tell him about Jiang Cinian's situation: "Jiang Shao prepared a gift in Piaomiao City and planned to send it to Xianyang City to congratulate his nephew on his wedding."
"His nephew is Jiang Cinian."
Cui Jing's expression also changed, and then he frowned: "He is actually Jiang Shao's nephew? No, Jiang Shao doesn't have any nephews at all."
Duke Pingguo had only one son and one daughter. The eldest daughter married the deposed crown prince in her early years, and Jiang Shao was just the only son born to a concubine.
"Of course not." Yan Xingchuan raised his eyes to look into Cui Jing's. "Didn't the former Crown Princess Jiang give birth to a child in her early years?"
Cui Jing was stunned: "The former Crown Princess Jiang?"
"The former Crown Prince had a son who died in the Eastern Palace only a few months old. Have you ever heard of this story?"
