In a deserted wilderness outside the capital city. In front of a newly erected tombstone, stood a handsome young man in flowing white clothes.
This man in white is Ling Yun.
Scenes from the past are vivid in my mind and appear before my eyes again.
When he rushed to Fengshadu, Xiaoshantun Village in a hurry, he finally found the residence of Yu's mother and son, but what he saw was a scene of blood all over the ground and a horrific scene.
Ying Chuanlin's wife Yu and his children Da Mao, Er Mao, San Mao and Zi Yan all fell into a pool of blood and had been dead for a long time.
In grief and anger, he was about to reach out to help them when he suddenly smelled a pungent smell of gunpowder and secretly yelled, "No!"
His body was as electric as lightning, his movements were rapid, and he flew out of the window with an elegant and unrestrained "kite turn" like a glimpse of light.
The wild geese fell on the flat sand and jumped several feet away. At this time, I heard a deafening explosion behind me.
Looking back, I saw raging flames behind me. The original small huts had collapsed and disappeared into ashes, filled with thick smoke and fire...
How dangerous. He was in shock when he suddenly heard a burst of wild laughter.
There were ambushes all around him, all of them masked men in green clothes; the leader was a graceful Taoist nun in white wearing a white scarf and a graceful figure. Next to her stood an enchanting woman with beautiful flowers.
"Kongse? Wu Chunxin?" He recognized them immediately.
Taoist nun Kongse narrowed her flirtatious and lustful eyes, slightly raised one lip, and said in a somewhat affectionate tone: "Ling Yun, you are indeed worthy of your reputation! Under the ambush of Pindao's clever trick, you can survive all over the body. You are probably the only one who has quit so far!
"But that's okay. If a beautiful man like you with first-class character, handsomeness and ease is really killed by a bomb, I will be a little reluctant to bear it! Hahaha..."
Ling Yun raised his sword eyebrows, a cold light flashed across his eyes, and angrily shouted: "Shameless bitch!——"
The long sword is unsheathed. Then there was a brutal fight, and he finally escaped. The thrilling and intense scene at that time is still lingering in front of my eyes, and I can't get rid of it.
He breathed a sigh of relief and looked at the cold stone tablet again.
Suddenly there were footsteps behind him. When he turned around, he saw Du Zhenghai, dressed in black and with an indifferent face, walking slowly towards this side.
Ling Yun frowned slightly and said in a deep voice: "Brother Du."
Du Zhenghai frowned, raised the corners of his mouth, and sneered: "Thank you for having such leisurely time to remember your old friend here. Do you know that a big event has happened in the capital?"
"What's up?"
Du Zhenghai's narrow eyes were slightly raised, cold and calm, "Master Huanyu is getting married."
"What?..." Ling Yun's expression suddenly changed, and after a while he asked: "With whom?"
Du Zhenghai said: "He Chengqi, the second son of the Marquis Mansion."
Ling Yun felt a chill all over his body, and his originally pale face became even whiter now.
He stood there foolishly, speechless for a long time; for a long time, he lowered his head in silence, staring deeply at the crystal-clear, beautiful and exquisite jade Ruyi on the jade belt around his waist with his deep and cold eyes, and gave a slight sigh without saying a word.
Du Zhenghai narrowed his eyes slightly, looked at him coldly and said, "Why don't you speak?"
Ling Yun's dark eyes were like thick ink that couldn't be melted away. There was a vague look in his eyes, and he said numbly: "I have abandoned her long ago, and she is no longer my wife. Will she get married?" , Who will you marry, and what does it have to do with me?"
Du Zhenghai said in a somewhat mocking tone: "Even if this is the case, if two brothers marry the same woman, if such a thing that disturbs human relations is spread, wouldn't it be ridiculous?"
There was a faint blush under Ling Yun's eyes, killing and bloodthirsty, "Stop talking!"
Du Zhenghai's eyes were sinister, and the words coming out of his thin lips were as cold as ice, "Why can't I say, don't you feel nothing at all when you see your married wife marrying your brother, named Ling? Are you still a man?"
With a flash of cold light, Ling Yun stretched out his hand and drew his sword, and the tip of the sword suddenly hit Du Zhenghai's chest. His pupils tightened, like the frost of winter, and he said angrily: "If you say one more word, don't blame me for being rude to you!"
Du Zhenghai sneered: "Ling Yun, this is the second time you have pointed your sword at me like this. Even if you are angry, you shouldn't vent it out on me!"
Ling Yun weakly lowered the tip of his sword. He raised his face, breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Brother Du, I'm sorry."
Then he turned around and walked forward step by step.
Du Zhenghai said from behind: "Where are you going?"
Ling Yun didn't answer, just walked forward without looking back. The wind rustled, fluttering his snow-white clothes, making him tremble...
Time flies, the sun and the moon fly by, and in a blink of an eye, the ninth day of September is here.
Today is the day when Princess Huanyu and He Chengqi get married.
On this day, the Marquis's house was decorated with lanterns and colorful decorations, gongs and drums were beating loudly, and guests were like clouds, chatting with joy and laughter. There was a big banquet inside and outside the house, people came and went, and it was very lively. He Luwei, the housekeeper of the Marquis Mansion, was greeting the guests who came to congratulate him outside the house, smiling and beaming with joy.
There are so many guests coming to congratulate me today. The entire dynasty was filled with civil and military officials and celebrities, including many ordinary people who came to join in the fun and have relatives and friends.
Princess Chang Qing forced a smile on her face, and together with He Yuting greeted the guests, arranging many matters in the mansion.
Prince Jinling and Ding Jinzhi also arrived. They sat at the top, watching the endless flow of people coming and going, with a spring breeze on their faces.
The Queen Mother also sent Liu Hong to deliver congratulatory gifts. The He family father and son hurriedly welcomed Liu Hong, treating him as an honored guest, and treated him with great respect and enthusiasm.
He Chengqi's biological mother Yu is particularly happy today. Wearing heavy makeup and freshly dressed, she went in and out to greet the guests, smiling and in high spirits.
For many years she had been living a life of humiliation and humility, but now she could finally be proud and proud.
At this time, she felt quite proud that mother is more precious than child. In contrast, although Princess Chang Qing forced herself to look cheerful, her mood was much more depressed.
What is regrettable is that Lu Wenzheng did not come today. He only sent Yang Zhen to deliver a congratulatory gift, saying that he was not feeling well and asked the consort and the princess for their forgiveness.
He Yuting was a little embarrassed, but Princess Changqing weakly waved her hand and said: "Forget it."
There was a burst of joy and laughter outside, and the bride's sedan chair had already arrived at the door of the house.
The groom, He Chengqi, surrounded by everyone, went out to greet him with a smile on his face. The bride, draped in red and colorful, with brilliant embroidery, was supported by the bridesmaids, maid Xiangyun and others, and walked slowly to the front of the hall, where she stood side by side with He Chengqi.
Everyone's eyes were focused on the bride and groom. I saw that the man was handsome and free and easy, like a jade tree in the wind; the woman was radiant and beautiful, like a fairy in the moon.
Everyone couldn't help but praise and admire him, and there was a sound of flattery all around.
"Oh, the man, the talent, and the woman are such a perfect match!"
"What a talented and beautiful woman, a perfect match!"
"Consort, princess, you are so lucky!"
"Prince Jinling, congratulations!"
Princess Changqing just smiled bitterly. Prince Jinling nodded noncommittally, unable to tell whether he was happy or worried.
Started to worship heaven and earth. The master of ceremonies said loudly: "The bride and groom worship the heaven and the earth! - First, the heaven and the earth! The second, the high hall! The husband and wife bow to each other!..."
Mrs. Yu was so excited that she smiled from ear to ear.
Princess Huanyu's face was covered with a hijab. No one could see the expression on her face at this time, and no one could understand her mood at this time.
She just did the actions she was supposed to do mechanically, and there was nothing chic or happy about her behavior.
At this time, the housekeeper He Luwei walked in. His face was alternately blue and white, and there were undetectable beads of sweat on his forehead. His face was complicated and difficult to distinguish, with a somewhat anxious look.
He walked directly to He Yuting, and whispered in He Yuting's ear: "Master Hou, there are clouds outside... No, the eldest young master is back, and he brought a gift specially for the second young master. Mr. Hou, look... "
As he spoke, he carefully observed He Yuting's face and muttered.
Although He Luwei's voice was low, Princess Chang Qing on the side still heard it.
Her eyes lit up and she murmured: "What?... Is Zhichao really back? It's been almost a month since he left. It's so great that he's finally back!..." Her eyes were filled with excitement. Incessantly.
He Yuting frowned and thought to himself: "You said this Zhichao, he didn't come early or late, so why did he come here at this time? This matter was already embarrassing and embarrassing enough, but he You came to join in the fun at this time. Do you think the joke in the Marquis's Mansion is not big enough?
"You said he is usually a very smart and capable person, but why does he always act stupid at critical moments?..."
He Yuting's eyes wandered, showing a thoughtful look; he pondered for a moment, lowered his voice and said to He Luwei: "Steward, go and tell him. He has been tired from traveling and traveling all the way, and he should be already exhausted. It’s very hard, I’d better take a shower and change clothes first, and then have a good rest, so there’s no need to come here.”
He Luwei responded, turned around and walked out. Before she had even taken a few steps, she was stopped by Princess Chang Qing behind her, "Butler, wait a minute."
He Luwei hurriedly stopped and said with a smile: "I wonder what the princess has ordered?"
Princess Chang Qing raised her eyebrows and said: "Today is Cheng Qi's happy day. You see, Zhichao is back at this time. It's such a coincidence that it's better to come sooner than later! As an elder brother, he is an important member of the Houye family. , how could he not be there - Butler, go and invite him in right away!"
