Tie Zheng's wedding had mostly given up on the Empire of Yutang's traditional wedding customs for the sake of this grand event. He had brought the bride out with a veil, revealing her face in front of the public.
If it had been according to the Empire of Yutang's old customs, the wedding of a general of Tie Zheng's status would have been extremely troublesome. However, before Tie Zheng's promise, two old marshals had gone to Tie Zheng's father-in-law's home, the minister of the Board of Appointments, to persuade him with kind words. No matter how reluctant the old man was, he could only accept it.
Among them, Old Marshal Qiu had said something that moved the minister the most. "There won't be another woman in the entire continent who can be as glorious as your daughter's marriage!"
This is unprecedented, why are you still being so pretentious?
The old minister was enlightened when he heard it, beaming with joy and no longer had any objections.
…
Under the watchful eyes of the public, the four hundred thousand troops that had gathered here cheered at the same time when they saw Tie Zheng and the bride walking side by side.
The howls of wolves rose and fell in an instant. For a moment, it was as if a pack of wolves was howling at the moon outside the south gate. This group of men in the army finally had the chance to vent. All of them were straightforward men, and they were so excited that their faces and necks were red.
Tie Zheng was not offended at all as he guffawed and said loudly, "Silence! Silence! F * ck! You bastards, your father has already entertained the wedding today, why are you still making a fuss? Don't you know the rules? "
In front of the hundred thousand Steel Cavalry of the eastern troop, ten generals stood up abruptly and howled, "We want to see the bride! This is the rule, do you understand? "
The hundred thousand troops roared excitedly, "We want to see the bride! This is the rule! "
Then, it was the northern troop. "We want to see the bride! This is the rule! "
The southern troop …
The western troop …
One after another, from all directions, all of them wanted to see the bride's number, and all of them claimed to follow the rules!
Tie Zheng did not know whether to laugh or to cry. He hollered, "Your father hasn't even seen it myself, what the f * ck are you looking at!"
"What f * ck are you looking at?"
The four hundred thousand people roared at the same time, their words becoming more and more casual as they went straight for the color of the bride.
"Hahahaha …"
Immediately, the crowd laughed until they staggered from side to side.
On the stage, Han Sanhe and the other enemy generals exchanged glances and stood up at the same time, shouting in unison, "We want to see the bride too! We will abide by the rules too! "
Howl …
The entire area outside the south gate was in an uproar.
Howls of wolves could be heard everywhere, be it friend or foe.
There were even tens of thousands of fellows who were eager to see the world in chaos. They stuck their fingers into their mouths and whistled sharply!
Imagine, what would happen if tens of thousands of people whistled at the same time?
For a moment, roars of laughter, wolf howls, and whistles filled the air.
Tie Zheng guffawed and led the bride, groomsmen, and bridesmaids to the stage.
Behind the procession of the newcomers was the royal edict of congratulation. This was also His Majesty's order – no matter what, they must not steal Tie Zheng's limelight today.
Up on the stage, the eunuch who delivered the decree read it to Tie Zheng in a low-key manner before leaving quietly, almost as if he did not exist.
What followed was a sudden silence at the city gate.
A troop of men and horses exited the city slowly. They were clad in black armor and rode at an extremely slow pace.
The person leading the group was an old lady with a walking stick in her hand. She was strolling over while beside her was the Emperor of Yutang, who was dressed in bright yellow but was dressed casually.
His Majesty supported Old Mistress Shangguan as he walked over slowly.
Behind both of them was a huge plaque. There were four words painted in gold on it; it was His Majesty's handwriting.
"The Shangguan Family of Generals!"
What was more eye-catching than the plaque were the people who were carrying it. It was six children who were carrying the plaque forward with all their might.
Behind them were three thousand royal guards dressed in black.
The Shangguan Family of Generals had to be there for a militant event.
There was also the emperor of Yutang, His Majesty, Yu Peize. He had come personally, dressed in casual clothes, showing that he was attending this event in his private capacity.
On the stage.
Qiu Jianhan and Leng Daoyin stood shoulder to shoulder at the front of the stage while Tie Zheng stood beside them. The three of them stood there for a moment, pausing.
In the Empire of Dongxuan's camp, Han Sanhe stood up solemnly and walked forward slowly, standing shoulder to shoulder with Qiu Jianhan and Leng Daoyin.
Then, an old general with white hair and beard from each of the other three empires stepped forward at the same time.
Seven of the old generals stood in a row.
Standing solemnly, the old generals did not distinguish between friend and foe. Each of them stood straight, their gazes solemn as they watched the huge plaque approach slowly.
At this moment, a pin drop could be heard outside the southern gate of Tiantang City that was filled with close to five hundred thousand people.
Finally, the plaque stopped a thousand feet away from the stage. There was another stage that had been built there.
His Majesty and Old Mistress Shangguan ascended the stairs.
The plaque of the Shangguan Family of Generals was hung high on the stage. On both sides of the stage, there were eight flags that were raised at the same time, twice the height of all the other banners.
There were four big words on each flag.
Shangguan Family of Generals!
Old Mistress Shangguan sat in the middle while her six grandchildren stood in a row behind her.
His Majesty stood up and walked to the front of the stage. He turned to face Old Mistress Shangguan.
Silence reigned.
Qiu Jianhan and the other seven famous generals spoke at the top of their lungs.
"The night is filled with stars, the Big Dipper!"
The four hundred thousand troops chanted at the same time.
"Warriors of the world honor Shangguan!"
"A grand event of militants, one family for all eternity; worshipping from all directions, heroes on all sides; no militant in the world doesn't revere; a family of martyrs, Shangguan Family of Generals!"
Qiu Jianhan said loudly, "A grand event of militants, worshipping the Family of Generals first. All militants, salute the Family of Generals!"
The seven old marshals straightened their bodies at the same time and bowed deeply.
Four hundred thousand warriors saluted at the same time!
On the stage, His Majesty bowed deeply as well.
Old Mistress Shangguan sat upright, unmoving like a mountain as she accepted the salute.
The six children behind her knelt down to return the salute.
Being worshipped by the world's warriors was the honor that the Shangguan Family of Generals deserved; it was also the willingness of the militants! The Shangguan Family of Generals had always been the highest spiritual belief of the militants in this half of the continent. A belief, a label!
The struggle for hegemony between nations had been going on for years and generations. It had been like this for thousands and tens of thousands of years. However, to be able to achieve such great feats like the Shangguan Family of Generals and to be so tragic, their beliefs remained unwavering and unwavering even in death. They were a family of generals who had always protected their home and country loyally.
There was only one family; there was no other!
Old Mistress Shangguan's eyes flashed, as if she was looking at the memorial tablets in her ancestral hall.
This supreme honor of facing the worship of the soldiers of the world was exchanged for the densely packed memorial tablets! Do any of you know what is happening right now? Can you guys feel it?
Turning to look at her six great-grandchildren, she felt a wave of exasperation in her heart.
The faces of the six little fellows were glowing, and their faces were filled with glory. All of their little bodies were perfectly straight!
Their gazes were resolute, proud and excited as if they were about to spew fire.
This is my home!
This is the Shangguan Family of Generals!
When I've grown up, I'll guard the Shangguan Family of Generals' honor as well!
This was the common thought in the hearts of the six children.
However, the old mistress could see through the children's thoughts and could only sigh inwardly.
Guard the family of generals' honor … it's easy to say, but do you know what you need to pay?
It's something that you dare not even think about.
If one of these six children could have a good end in the future, I believe that the ancestors of the Shangguan Family of Generals would be smiling in the afterlife!
However, the Shangguan Family of Generals had gone through four generations and more than a hundred and fifty years, but none of the men had been able to escape the fate of dying in battle. Could anyone among these six children really break this?
The ceremony of the world's famed generals paying homage to the family of generals announced the official start of today's military wedding.
Old Mistress Shangguan stood up and invited His Majesty to take a seat.
Today, everyone, including His Majesty, was actually just a spectator.
The main character today was Tie Zheng and all the soldiers present!
Qiu Jianhan and Leng Daoyin went over to sit, their seats right next to Han Sanhe.
Han Sanhe nodded with a smile.
Qiu Jianhan snorted and turned his head away while Leng Daoyin rolled his eyes, ignoring him as well.
He had suffered at the hands of this bastard on the battlefield for decades, how could he still be nice to him? Moreover, there might be a series of battles after today and it would all be started by this person.
Han Sanhe smiled. "The Saber and Sword Duo … are still as straightforward as ever."
Qiu Jianhan and Leng Daoyin could clearly tell that the 'Saber and Sword Duo' Han Sanhe was referring to was definitely not a hero but a bear. Exasperated, they turned around and said, "Han Sanhe, your father will make you drunk today!"
Han Sanhe shrugged, smoothing his hair as he smiled faintly, "This old man is so scared."
Leng Daoyin was so angry that his stomach hurt as he panted heavily.
"This old man is the master of ceremonies today and bears great responsibility. I won't hold a grudge against an old thing like you." Qiu Jianhan's expression was dark.
A few old generals from the three empires looked over in a gloating manner. "It's really been a long time since I've seen the Saber and Sword Duo, you bears. You're even more glorious than before, even more deserving of your name …"
If the first half of the sentence was not taken into account, it would be a compliment, but the first half of the sentence was even more heart-wrenching!
Qiu Jianhan stood up abruptly, his aura exploding like never before, scaring the three old men into taking a step back.
