The largest open space in the front hall of the mansion was already crowded with people who came to beg for drinks. The surrounding corners are already filled with all kinds of fruits and vegetables, and the exquisite handicrafts, although they are all worthless items, contain the blessings of the people who come to ask for wine.
Countless people were drinking and laughing, and the younger disciples in the mansion also tied red belts around their waists and shuttled back and forth among the guests, hoping to contribute.
"The time has come, it's time to welcome the bride." Hearing the deafening sound of firecrackers outside the door, Ranchen gently flapped the folding fan with his left hand, said with a smile, and pushed the door open at the same time.
The noise that originally seemed to be blocked by something was no longer blocked by anything, and it bloomed in everyone's ears.
Nan Liyu patted the two grooms on the shoulders: "Okay, get ready to go."
The dragon and phoenix red candles on the table behind him were burning sizzlingly. A moth circled around the red candle for a long time, and finally crashed into the flame desperately, making a tiny popping sound.
But amidst the deafening sound of firecrackers, no one noticed the flying insects that turned into flames.
Everyone stepped out of the room together. Ye Xinghe, who was walking at the end, wanted to turn back and close the door, but saw disciples from the Wuqing Pavilion hurriedly coming at the other end of the corridor.
The night was gradually getting darker, and the big red lanterns shrouded the entire ground in a red festive atmosphere.
The disciple who came leaned over and whispered a few words into Ye Xinghe's ear, but his expression changed drastically.
"Hurry back, I'll be here right away." He ordered in a low voice.
"What happened?" The disciple of Wuqing Pavilion had just left, and Nan Liyu's voice came from behind him. It turned out that just a few steps out of the door, Nan Liyu found that Ye Xinghe had not followed and wanted to turn back. When he went to look for it, he saw the disciples of Wuqing Pavilion and Ye Xinghe whose expression changed greatly.
"Brother." Ye Xinghe hesitated for a moment, but he knew that no matter what happened to them, Nan Liyu could see through it at a glance, "The disciples of Qingqing Pavilion came to report that someone was attacking twenty miles away. However, the identity of the visitor has not yet been determined.”
"It seems that this wedding banquet has attracted some enemies who covet Yunzhong City."
Ye Xinghe's words did not surprise Nan Liyu. This time the wedding banquet was held very grandly. Although it was only a happy event for the people around the young master, and the city did not send invitations to entertain people from all walks of life, it was a grand occasion during the preparation. Many people still knew the news.
People are most likely to let their guard down when they are having a happy event, not to mention that tonight so many people are gathered together, if someone really attacks, there will be a bloody storm.
"Brother, I will not attend the wedding banquet," Ye Xinghe saw Nan Liyu's silence and said, "I will go and see what happened. Even if there is any abnormal movement, I think with the ability of the disciples of Wuqing Pavilion, I should be able to block it. You're right here, if I can't stop you, you might as well have someone to take care of you."
"That's fine," Nan Liyu muttered, "be careful."
Ye Xinghe nodded, pointed his toes, and disappeared into the corridor.
The night was getting darker and darker, leaving only a trace of whiteness in the distance.
A sedan chair made of brocade was placed quietly in the clearing in the forest, and the bearers stood quietly around it. However, those who know some skills will find that the eyes of the bearers, although they are wearing coarse cloth, reveal something. He showed a sharp gaze that ordinary people would not have.
There is no light in the forest at night, but for martial arts practitioners, there is no problem.
The road ahead looks close, but in fact it is extremely winding and quite far away.
A man in black night clothes jumped down from the tree quietly without making a sound.
"My father-in-law, the people from Yunzhong City have discovered us. They have sent a large number of disciples here, and there is also a leader. The subordinates have not yet seen who it is."
"Well done," an old but high-pitched voice came from the sedan, "The disciples of Yunzhong City are usually scattered in various places. Today there is a wedding event in the city, and the disciples should be busy maintaining the order of the guests. Now there is such a situation. Many people have been attracted here by you, so now, it must be a good time to enter the city, order to go down and kill all the Yunzhong City disciples who come."
"Yes." The man in black clasped his hands into his fists, turned around and disappeared into the vast darkness.
Someone in the shadows beside the sedan spoke: "Father, the people on the other side of Yunzhong City have already made arrangements. We can start after the people inside have had enough wine and food."
"Tonight's battle has been prepared for a long time, don't let Master down."
It was completely dark.
The bright spots of light in the city in the clouds are like stars in the night sky, filling the entire night.
In order to celebrate this rare grand and happy event in Yunzhong City, the people in the city also hung lanterns at the entrances of their homes and on the streets. For a while, the city was as bright as day.
The aroma of Yubingyaki seems to have merged with the air.
The sound of cheers and the sound of glasses and lamps resounding throughout the night.
Xi Niang's voice shouted: "The groom is here."
The two groomsmen, dressed in red robes, walked slowly with a gentle smile on their lips, surrounded by everyone.
"Good luck and good fortune, and a happy marriage for a hundred years."
The maids standing at the door threw out the rice cakes in their baskets, and the flying rice cakes fell in the air and landed on the shoulders of the two newcomers.
Gu Jianghe and Jiu Xia, who were originally supporting the two brides, stood at the door with smiles on their faces: "Good luck and good luck, bring me the rouge money."
"Yes Yes Yes."
Feng Fanxiao and Nan Liluo quickly took out a letter of silver sealed in red paper from their arms and handed it over. Seeing their slightly red cheeks, Gu Jianghe and Jiu Xia also looked at each other and smiled before accepting it. The red envelope they handed over.
When Xiniang saw it, she quickly shouted: "The groom is carrying the bride out on his back."
"oh-
oh--
oh--"
Cheers and shouts continued.
The onlookers were applauding.
Feng Fanxiao and Nan Liluo had practiced martial arts since childhood, so it was natural for them to carry a woman on their backs with ease. The guests all made way for the groom to carry the bride through.
Nan Liyu glanced at the direction of Ye Xinghe's departure with some worry, secretly hoping that nothing would happen to him, but in this moment of distraction, Ran Chen caught his eye.
Deliberately being last, he grabbed Nan Liyu, causing him to turn around in surprise.
"You don't look right. What happened? Where is Xinghe?"
"Just now the disciples of Qingqing Pavilion came to report that someone was attacking Yunzhong City at night. There were many people. Xinghe was afraid that something would happen, so he rushed over with other disciples." Nan Liyu glanced at the direction in which the groom was leaving and whispered, "Master, In the past few years, no one has dared to launch a large-scale sneak attack on Yunzhong City. Today, there is a happy event happening in the mansion, and most of the people in the city came to join in the fun. I'm afraid something will happen."
When Ranchen heard this, his heart tightened. He had been worried when he was preparing for the happy event. After Master Wen entered the city, his worries were probably even worse, but he didn't expect it to come true.
Now I just don’t know why the visitor is here. If he is just an ordinary Jianghu visitor, Yunzhong City’s defense is impeccable. If the Holy One comes to kill him and Wen Jirou, I’m afraid there will be a bloody storm tonight.
"What's wrong?"
The scene tonight was grand, and Wen Jirou was happy and relaxed. She changed her appearance a little, and hid in the crowd to watch the excitement. But seeing Fang Cai Ranchen and Fang Cai Ranchen looking solemn behind the crowd, they vaguely had a very bad premonition in their hearts.
Ranchen knew who was speaking before he turned around, so he expressed his worries: "Someone is attacking Yunzhong City at night. I'm worried that they are coming for you."
Wen Jirou was a little surprised when he heard this: "The person who wants to kill me the most is the current Holy Emperor. I have only been in the city for more than ten days. He knows that I am here so quickly. It seems that Yunzhong City already has his spies."
But then I thought about it. Is there anyone in the world that is not Wang Tu? What he wants to know will naturally have his own method: "The Holy One wants to kill me, so he naturally wants to kill you. It seems that tonight is aimed at the two of us."
"We will discuss this later. The most urgent task now is to get the people to disperse as soon as possible. We cannot let them suffer such an unreasonable disaster."
The suona had started to play outside, and Xipo hurried in. When she saw Ranchen, she didn't care about anything else. She pulled up his sleeves and started to move forward: "City Lord, don't delay, the bride and groom are about to pay their respects. You have to do this." Why are people still here?"
