Li Shimin faked his death? Then I will be powerful enough to conquer the world!

Chapter 160 We don’t make plans together!

Hearing Cui Jingming's decisive words, Cui Shouren felt as if he had been struck by a bolt from the blue.

The whole person collapsed instantly, and his face turned ashen and lifeless.

His lips couldn't stop trembling violently, his eyes were full of guilt, and he slowly looked around at the Cui family members around him who also had expressions of reluctance on their faces, as if he was saying his final goodbye, and as if he was praying for a little forgiveness.

Then, he staggered and slowly moved out the door like a zombie.

Along the way, his body was shaking and he almost fell several times, but he continued to move forward with determination.

Finally, he arrived at the top of Beizhou City.

The soldiers guarding the city wall were doing their duties when they suddenly saw Cui Shouren appearing in such a distraught state. They were stunned, stopped what they were doing and stared at him blankly.

Cui Shouren walked slowly forward to the edge of the city wall. He raised his hands and tightly covered his face full of pain and regret.

Suddenly, he raised his head to the boundless sky and shouted with all his strength, "I, Cui Shouren, am the eternal sinner of the Cui family!"

The voice resounded through the sky, filled with sorrow and self-blame, and echoed over the city walls for a long time.

Before anyone could react, he resolutely jumped down from the top of the city wall.

His body fell straight down like a kite with a broken string, and finally hit the ground headfirst. With a dull thud and blood splattering everywhere, he died on the spot.

……

Inside the Cui family mansion.

The servant who was responsible for following Cui Shouren came running all the way, staggering and looking panicked.

He rushed into the hall and fell to his knees with a thud, his voice trembling and sorrowful: "Master, the elder Cui Shouren jumped from the top of Beizhou City and died for his clan!"

Cui Jinghuai sat in the upper seat. Upon hearing this, he slowly closed his eyes and was silent for a long time. Then he nodded slightly and said, "I understand. Go down."

His tone was as flat as stagnant water, without a single ripple of emotion.

The elders of the Cui family around looked at each other, and most of them chose to remain silent.

Although those clansmen who were close to Cui Shouren tried their best to suppress their tears, one could still see them secretly wiping their tears with their sleeves.

The little details of my past interactions with Cui Shouren kept coming to my mind.

Even though she knew that he had committed an unforgivable crime, she could not easily give up the affection that had accumulated over the years, and it still entangled her deep in her heart.

Cui Jinghuai slowly swept his eyes over the crowd, sighed softly, and said, "Cui Shouren still has some backbone of the Cui family."

After saying that, his gaze fell on the group of Cui family elders below, with a hint of disappointment and loneliness in his eyes.

"Cry, cry, everyone. We have lost the people's hearts. Everyone in my Cui family will follow in Cui Shouren's footsteps."

"I only hope that, at this moment when the Cui family is at its end, you can show some backbone like Cui Shouren."

When Cui Huaide heard Cui Jinghuai's pessimistic words, he was immediately puzzled. He frowned and raised his voice: "Jinghuai, now that Shouren has died for his clan, this matter should come to an end."

"You keep talking about the people's will, the people's heart. Is the people's will really that important?"

"We are the Cui family of Qinghe, the head of an aristocratic family!"

"How can those untouchables help us?"

"We still have 600,000 soldiers and horses. Even if we lose the support of the people, it is impossible for the imperial court to take us down so easily!"

"A noble family is a noble family. Which of our families' foundations cannot compare to the imperial court?"

As he spoke, he straightened his back, his face full of arrogance.

Hearing Cui Huaide's words, Cui Jinghuai was stunned at first, then a sarcastic smile appeared on the corner of his mouth. The smile gradually spread and finally turned into a laugh towards the sky.

"Hahahaha, you little bastard, we can't make plans together!"

"Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha………"

His laughter echoed through the hall.
