"The groom has arrived!"
Hearing the boy's shout, all the Bi family members, attendants and maids quickly made way for a wide path.
"The auspicious time has come. Open the door and invite the bride!"
There was no urging from Xi Niang in the elegant room with the big red word "Happy" on it. After a moment, the door opened with a "squeak" sound, and then two pretty bridesmaids appeared in front of everyone, supporting Long Shengna.
There were countless guests watching the excitement, and their eyes lit up when the bride appeared.
Long Shengna was seen wearing a red phoenix crown on her head, and the fine golden beaded curtain hung down casually, completely covering her face. She looked like an orchid, only revealing a burnt blue psychic jade lying quietly in front of her neck. She was wearing a floor-length red wedding robe made of brocade with moiré patterns, and a gold belt around her waist, which stretched her slim figure, and her long black hair was tied softly behind her. Wearing small gold silk shoes, she moves lightly with lotus steps, looking graceful and dignified. The skirt is as thin as mist, adding a touch of elegance.
As the bride walked slowly, every step seemed to be dotted in the clouds, as if she were strolling in a courtyard without losing luxury and elegance. The eyes of the male guests all sparkled, and it was a feast for the eyes. The female guests were also eclipsed in front of this appearance that looked like a fairy coming to earth.
"Okay, okay!"
Bi Heng looked extremely satisfied and nodded. Although he had tapped some of Long Shengna's acupuncture points in advance to make her less noisy, nothing went wrong until this point in the wedding, and he even felt stable.
Even a battle-experienced officer like Li Bo couldn't help but look at it a few more times. It has to be said that although Long Shengna has no talent in cultivation, she is definitely one of the best women in Beikai City in terms of appearance and temperament when it comes to doing business.
"Master, the bride has arrived."
Li Bo reminded him in a low voice. Seeing that Li Siyuan still had no reaction, he simply took him to wait beside the sedan chair.
As Long Shengna walked further and further away, just as she was about to emerge from the Qianlong Chamber of Commerce's sedan chair, a beautiful woman beside Bi Heng covered her face with an embroidered handkerchief, stepped forward and began to cry.
This beautiful woman is Bi Heng's wife Zhao. Since Long Shengna's mother passed away very early and her father did not show up today, she took the initiative to take on the role of crying.
Many people who were watching this scene felt deeply and couldn't help but bow their heads and wipe away tears. Only those who knew about it were dismissive and secretly scolded him for being pretentious.
Although Long Shengna's movements were restricted, there was an expression of extreme disgust on her face under the bead curtain.
Finally arriving in front of the sedan, the two bridesmaids let go of their hands and stepped back. Since Long Shengna had no brother, Bi Hao, whose face was bruised and swollen into a pig's head, could only bite the bullet, cover his face in front of everyone's surprised eyes, and ran over, and hurriedly carried Long Shengna into the sedan.
The sound of firecrackers sounded, and the wedding reception was basically over here.
Li Bo carried Li Siyuan onto his horse and shouted loudly. The wedding team turned back in a mighty manner, followed closely by the Qianlong Chamber of Commerce's wedding team, heading straight for the city lord's palace.
Bi Heng did not follow to see off the sedan chair, but when he saw Long Shengna finally seeing her off, he took a leisurely sip of tea and couldn't help but think of the bright future of the Bi family.
Not long after, an attendant walked over quickly, half-kneeling on the ground and said: "Tell the master, there is a man dressed in rough clothes at the door who wants to see the president."
Bi Heng smiled contemptuously: "I am the president now. I am in a good mood today. Let's go see him."
After that, he put his hands behind his back, assumed an arrogant posture, and walked out slowly.
As the bride left, the people watching the excitement gradually dispersed, and the Qianlong Chamber of Commerce returned to its peaceful scene.
"Brother, when will your president arrive?"
Outside the gate, a tall man eight feet tall, with a thick beard on his face and wearing burlap clothes asked with a smile. It was Ouyang Lian.
A man dressed as a consul glanced at him with disgust and said coldly: "I don't know, Mr. President, he may be busy. You just wait."
Ouyang Lian rubbed his hands honestly and nodded.
"Where are you from? You're not welcome here, so get out of here."
At this moment, Bi Hao, who was dressed in fine clothes, came over with disgust on his face, pointed at Ouyang Lian and cursed rudely.
Ouyang Lian couldn't help frowning, suppressing the anger in his heart and asked: "Why did this young master insult me? If I remember correctly, I don't seem to have provoked him anywhere, right?"
Bi Hao touched the swollen and sore spot on his face, and just as he was looking for someone to vent his anger on, he yelled arrogantly: "You still said you didn't provoke me? You are standing here to bother me, why don't you get out?!"
When Ouyang Lian saw that Bi Hao looked like a human but had such a dirty mouth, he immediately became angry. With a fierce look on his face, he raised his big hand to strike.
Bi Hao was instantly frightened and backed away in fear. The consul on the side was secretly happy when he saw this, and had no intention of helping Bi Hao.
"stop!"
At this moment, a loud shout came from the distance. Bi Hao was delighted when he heard this and quickly ran over to ask for help.
"Dad! This man wants to hit me!"
Seeing a serious-faced middle-aged man walking towards here with several guards, Ouyang Lian thought that this person had an unusual identity, so he retracted his hand and saluted him with a cupped fist.
"Hey, I was joking with this young man."
The visitor was Bi Heng. He saw Ouyang Lian greeting him, but he didn't take it seriously. Instead, he asked Bi Hao, "What's going on?"
"Dad, it's him who beats people indiscriminately."
Bi Hao ignored Ouyang Lian's instructions at all, but the villain complained first.
Bi Heng tugged at his goatee on his chin and said in a disdainful tone: "He's just a rough man from the countryside. Why should he be acquainted with him? Otherwise, he won't be worthy of the clothes you are wearing. You go in first."
After Ouyang Lian saw Bi Hao leaving arrogantly, he suppressed his anger and said, "That young master just insulted me first. I had no intention of fighting with him."
Bi Heng stretched out a hand impatiently and interrupted Ouyang Lian's words.
"Let's leave it at that. Let's talk about the purpose of your coming here, right?"
Bi Heng deliberately changed the subject, and Ouyang Lian did not argue with him. He said seriously: "Are you the President Long of the Qianlong Chamber of Commerce? I, Ouyang Lian, have something to ask of you."
Ouyang Lian? I have never heard of this person.
Bi Heng thought to himself, and once again looked at the man in front of him, his worries seemed to be gone.
"President Long is in ill health and it is difficult to see people. I am Bi Heng, and I am acting as the president of the Qianlong Chamber of Commerce. If you have any questions, please tell me directly and I will tell him for you."
Bi Heng pretended to be deceptive and just wanted to send Ouyang Lian away as soon as possible.
"A young man named Jingfeng has visited your Chamber of Commerce recently. If you have his whereabouts, please let me know."
After hearing this, Bi Heng's expression changed and he immediately asked seriously: "Who are you?"
Ouyang Lian obviously heard that the other party knew Jingfeng, but he didn't know that Jingfeng and him were not getting along. He smiled and replied: "I... am his uncle. This kid left home in a hurry, so I specially sent him something." .”
With that said, Ouyang Lian took off the package on his back and pushed aside the long cloth wrapped around it, revealing a whip tail.
"It turns out it's Brother Ouyang. Jingfeng is visiting our Chamber of Commerce at the moment. I'll take you to see him."
Seeing that the man in front of him was defenseless, Bi Heng suddenly felt murderous intent and raised an imperceptible sneer at the corner of his mouth.
"Why bother bothering President Bi? Just tell me the place and I will go find him myself."
Ouyang Lian seemed to be aware of it, but he still replied calmly.
"Oh, what's the trouble? Come, Mr. Ouyang, please take a seat."
When Bi Heng saw Ouyang Lian taking the bait, he immediately changed his face and greeted him feigning enthusiasm.
Just like that, Bi Heng invited Ouyang Lian into the Qianlong Chamber of Commerce.
At the same time, Jingfeng took advantage of the break between the Li family's wedding and went to other chambers of commerce in the city to buy some equipment, and then went to Ran Qian's previous residence to seek his help.
Unfortunately, the store owner told Jingfeng that Ran Qian had moved away long ago and did not know where he went.
As for Bian Yue, although she was one of the few people Jingfeng knew and happened to be in Beikaicheng, Jingfeng didn't think he could ask her to help, not to mention he didn't know her whereabouts.
There is no way, now I can only rely on myself.
Jingfeng adjusted himself well, followed the path that the wedding team must pass, and came to the top of a tall building, waiting for the opportunity.
The cold wind whizzed past his ears, making him extremely awake.
Soon, the sound of gongs and drums sounded in the street market below, getting closer and closer. Jingfeng's heart was filled with excitement and he jumped down.
Li Bo was sitting on the horse at this time, looking very worried.
"Originally, the general agreed to let me greet the royal guests, but unexpectedly he let Li Nong go at the last minute. It's clear that he doesn't take me seriously!"
Just when he was feeling angry, he heard several "bang" explosions in his ears, which suddenly brought him back to reality.
Thick smoke filled the street, and the crowd suddenly became chaotic.
"What's going on? Where did all this smoke come from?"
"Enemy attack! Is it an enemy attack?"
"Someone threw a smoke screen, who is it?"
Something happened suddenly, and the wedding team was thrown into chaos. Everyone could only see blurry white smoke, and they couldn't even touch their own hands.
Li Bo was still calm. It was clear at that moment that someone must be robbing the bride, so he shouted: "Everyone be quiet, everyone gather behind to protect the young master and the bride!"
Li Bo reached out and grabbed hold of Li Siyuan beside him. After confirming that Li Siyuan was safe and sound, he jumped up from the horse and ran towards the sedan chair behind him.
Long Shengna, who was sitting on the sedan chair, almost resigned herself to her fate when the sudden noise outside startled her.
"What happened?"
Long Shengna's acupuncture points were pressed and she couldn't get up. Just when she was confused, the bead curtain of the sedan chair was suddenly opened by someone, who then picked her up and ran away.
"Ah! Who are you? Let me go!"
Long Shengna was so frightened that her face turned pale and she shouted anxiously.
"Don't make any noise, it's me, Jingfeng."
The person said in a low voice, and quickly moved away from the crowd under the cover of smoke.
When the familiar voice reached her ears, Long Shengna felt happy and gave up her struggle.
"I thought you wouldn't come."
Long Shengna felt her nose was sore, her beautiful eyes under the phoenix crown instantly became moist, and she murmured aggrievedly.
Jingfeng turned his head and looked at Long Shengna with complicated eyes, but said nothing.
At this moment, an angry shout came from behind the two of them.
"Thief, where are you running?"
