"You already guessed that I was here before you came here with the army, however, you despise me in your bones, so knowing that I have defeated Li Yanlong and He Zhizhen and many other elites of the White Lotus Sect, you still feel that with your resourcefulness, you will definitely be able to crush me to death, after all, strategy and tactics are an extension of wisdom, and it is a cornerstone that can make up for weak combat effectiveness." Shen Yan looked at the constant change in the expression on Cui Shaonian's face, a hearty smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and he said with a chuckle.

"However, the truth has made you suffer a dumb loss, even so, you still feel in your heart that you are high above, and losing in my hands is just a moment of bad luck, it is the strength of the White Lotus Sect that is not enough, not your resourcefulness is not enough."

"Shut up." Hearing Shen Yan pointing out the pain in his heart that he didn't want to mention, Cui Shaonian's eyes flashed with a strong anger, and he looked at Shen Yan coldly, as if he had forgotten that he was still Shen Yan's prisoner at this time.

"To be angry is to prove the hypocrisy in your heart." A hint of mockery appeared at the corner of Shen Yan's mouth, and he didn't take Cui Shaonian in his eyes at all.

"You are indeed a little smarter than Cui Mingshi in some aspects, but when it comes to who can get a bigger position, you are a big cut behind Cui Mingshi."

"Don't use such words to stimulate me, the more you stimulate me, the more it means that you don't have enough confidence in your heart to dare to dispose of me, let alone send me to Jinling." Cui Shaonian calmed down his somewhat angry mood, his face showed a trace of pride, glanced at Shen Yan, and said loudly.

"You show a very calm demeanor on the surface, as if you have eaten me, and you are not worried that I will send you to Jinling, but in your bones you are afraid that I will dispose of you now, as long as I dispose of you, you will be finished, so you desperately show such a demeanor." A faint smile appeared on the corner of Shen Yan's mouth, and with a hint of confidence, he said slowly.

"The more I told you so much, the more you felt that I didn't dare to deal with you, so the arrogance in your bones unnaturally sprung up again, however, you didn't realize that I didn't have any intention of telling you this, just to pass the time, and to wait for the casualty report."

"No way, you can sit in the position you are today, you are not a reckless person." Hearing Shen Yan's words, a faint panic flashed in Cui Shaonian's eyes for the first time, staring at Shen Yan's eyes tightly, and said loudly.

"It's a pity that you don't know enough about me, if you know me well enough, you don't have such a look and reaction." A hint of indifference appeared at the corner of Shen Yan's mouth, and he said slowly.

"I have come to this position step by step, not by calculation, but by virtue of my sincerity to the emperor, to clear all obstacles for the emperor."

"I see." Seeing Shen Yan's expression, a touch of sadness flashed in Cui Shaonian's eyes, Shen Yan, who has only been in the office for more than a month, can get to this position today, it is indeed not by calculation, let alone by the emperor's so-called favor and weight, without Shen Yan's sincere heart, why would the emperor favor and respect.

"The most critical point is that you still don't realize that I can have the privilege of cutting first and then playing, in addition to my sincere heart to the emperor, more importantly, in addition to controlling the army, I also hold a privileged organization, Jinyi School, and at the same time, I also have a natural ally by my side, the Eighteen Princes, these factors are scattered separately, I don't necessarily have the privilege to dispose of you, but after these factors are added together, I have this power." A faint smile flashed in Shen Yan's eyes.

"Say, if there's anything else to say about this world, I'll give you a chance."

"I, you want to trick me, want me to speak my heart, and you actually use this despicable means." Cui Shaonian was hit by Shen Yan's words, and wanted to say that he still had some nostalgia for this earthly word, but he suddenly realized in his mind that this was not a ploy of Shen Yan, so he quickly changed his words, and said loudly with a hint of mockery.

"It seems that you really don't know me." Hearing Cui Shaonian's words, a faint smile appeared on the corner of Shen Yan's mouth.

"Come, press this person down, and when the battlefield is cleaned, execute him on the spot in front of all the surrendered troops."

"You don't dare to deal with me." Cui Shaonian's eyes still had a look of disdain and disbelief, and he showed a hint of sarcasm towards Shen Yan.

"Waiter, do you really want to execute this Cui Shaonian?" Seeing Cui Shaonian being escorted down by Lu Xuanyu, a trace of worry flashed in Xia Yuanxu's eyes, his brows furrowed tightly, and he said loudly.

"The prince is worried that I will deal with Cui Shao and bring a lot of trouble after the year." Shen Yan's eyes revealed a hint of indifference.

"In any case, Cui Shaonian is the son of the Cui family, even if he commits a crime, the Cui family will not be so easily willing to be dealt with by the law of the country, the Cui family will definitely use this matter to launch countless overt or covert attacks on the servant, and at the same time will attack his father. It can be said that once the waiter chooses to dispose of Cui Shaonian, he will stand on the cusp of the storm. A trace of worry flashed in Xia Yuanxu's eyes, and he looked at Shen Yan, who had a calm face, and said with some puzzlement.

"Thank you for your concern." Hearing Xia Yuanxu's words, a trace of emotion appeared in Shen Yan's eyes, no matter whether Xia Yuanxu's concern for him was sincere or not, he should express his gratitude.

"With my current identity and status, I really can't shake the Cui family. However, the Cui family is not monolithic, at least Cui Mingshi will not treat me well. When Shen Yan said this, a faint smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

"Regardless of whether I dispose of Cui Shaonian or not, the Cui family will not let me go easily, because I interrupted part of the conspiracy of the Cui family, and even broke the layout of the three princes for nearly ten years, so what is in front of me is not only to suffer from the attack of the Cui family, but also to suffer from the attack of the three princes."

"My status and strength are like a lonely boat on the waves set off by the wind on the sea, and the boat will capsize anytime and anywhere."

"The waiter knows this, why do you do it?" Hearing Shen Yan's words, Xia Yuanxu's eyes showed a look of doubt.

"When I led everyone to step into the land of Huaibei County again, I was already destined to become a thorn in the side of the Cui family and the three princes, unless it was inaction." A faint wry smile appeared on the corner of Shen Yan's mouth.

"Inaction is not my character at all, in addition, I also have to protect the eighteen princes to get greater credit, but also to fulfill my promise to the soldiers of the Great Xia Royal Army, more importantly, as a courtier, I must not throw this problem to the emperor, let the emperor have a headache, I may not be able to do the best, but I will definitely strive to do better, and solve these troubles before the emperor."

"That being said, it's still very risky." Hearing Shen Yan's heartfelt words, a trace of emotion flashed in Xia Yuanxu's eyes.

"Therefore, I need the cooperation of the prince and Boss Gao, and we will inform the emperor of the beginning and end of this matter respectively, so that the emperor can prepare in advance." A confident smile appeared on the corner of Shen Yan's mouth.
