The ninth day of the ninth lunar month, suitable for marriage, taboo for traveling far away.
Junior Leopard got up early in the morning and tore down an almanac in front of his bed. Looking at the words "suitable for marriage, taboo for traveling far away", his face suddenly became full of bad luck.
Although he was a staunch communist and atheist in his previous life, he had become a little superstitious ever since he inexplicably transmigrated, and it was his soul that had transmigrated. From time to time, he would look at the almanac before going out when he had to do something.
Today, this almanac made him very unhappy.
In a sense, this group of guys who only thought about snatching the bride belonged to the category of traveling far away. The word "taboo" on the almanac was taboo for Junior Leopard.
"Nothing is taboo, nothing is taboo!" Junior Leopard put his hands together and pretended to bow in all directions. He took a big parcel from under the bed and went out.
Today was the day that Governor Ma married his daughter. For Qinlingjun City and even the whole Yunzhou, there was no difference between Governor Ma's daughter and the marriage of the emperor's daughter. It was even of a higher level. After all, the marriage of the emperor's daughter had nothing to do with Yunzhou. However, Governor Ma was different. He brought safety, prosperity, and hope to the people of Yunzhou. Therefore, although the government didn't ask the people of Yunzhou to do anything, now every house in Qinlingjun City was spontaneously decorated with lanterns and streamers. The big red lanterns were hung from the street to the end of the street. The passers-by on the street were all happy and jubilant, especially the middle-aged women walking on the street. Judging from their expressions, it was as if they were getting married.
Early in the morning, when the sky was just beginning to brighten, the main street of Wuyang Gate was bustling with noise and excitement. A procession of newcomers marched from the main street of Wuyang Gate to the Governor's Mansion. Lu Shaoyou was dressed in a bright red auspicious robe with a big red flower on his chest. His face was pale and it was obvious that he had applied some pink powder on his face. His face was red and his teeth were white, making him look like a pretty boy.
He was riding on a tall maroon horse. Behind the horse was a large sedan chair. Around the sedan chair, several rows of people were blowing and beating. The sound of the loudspeakers almost spread across half of Qinlingjun City. Behind the sedan chair, dozens of people were carrying various gifts and walking leisurely. The procession was actually hundreds of feet long. On both sides of the procession, there were several warriors on horseback. These warriors were dressed in black clothes and emitted a faint Qi Power. Among the crowd of onlookers, some meddlesome and excited people wanted to come closer, but before they could get close, they were blocked by the Qi Power of these warriors. Their faces turned pale and their hearts were beating fast. They stayed in the crowd obediently and didn't dare to do anything excessive.
In addition to the people carrying the sedan chair, the gifts, and the blowing and beating, there was another person following the eight sedan chair.
This person looked to be in his 40s. He was dressed in a red robe and looked quite festive. However, if one looked at his face again, all the festive atmosphere was dispelled by the gloomy look on his face. The most exaggerated thing was that he was holding a long sword with his hands in front of his chest. His eyes were cold and he seemed to be out of tune with everything around him. His body also emitted a kind of cold Qi. Even the strong man beside him who was picking gifts subconsciously took a few steps away from him.
"Gao Yulou is still the same. I don't understand why you don't want to fight with him. Is it because he used to pursue you?!"
On the second floor of Yunlai Building, about a mile away from Wuyang Gate, Wang She and Nian Wushuang stood in front of the window and looked at the procession going to the Governor Mansion to welcome the bride. Wang She did not change his clothes, but Nian Wushuang's face was covered with a layer of veil. However, this layer of veil added a mysterious beauty to her face and made her more attractive. It was better not to cover her face.
"I naturally have my reasons for not fighting with him. I don't need to report it to you!" Nian Wushuang said lightly, "But you are really quiet today. There are so many rats around, but you don't even care about them!"
"Yes, rats!" Wang She's mouth slightly curved. "Today is a good day. I don't want to be stained with too much blood!"
"A good day!" Nian Wushuang looked at Wang She thoughtfully and then set her eyes on the other side of Wuyang Gate, on a large house. "That should be the Lu Mansion, right?!"
"Yes, that's the Lu Mansion. In Yunzhou, apart from the Governor Mansion and the Wu Mansion, only the Lu Mansion is so domineering. It seems that the Mingyi School really wants to use Lu Shaoyou as a nail to stick in Yunzhou!" Wang She sighed. His voice was not low. Not only Nian Wushuang heard him clearly, but also the diners in Yunlai Building. Several diners with ulterior motives listened to their conversation and their expressions changed. At a table near the corner, a young man in cyan clothes quietly stood up and turned downstairs. His body stopped there before he stepped on the first step of the stairs. Then, with a "bang", his body exploded like a crushed watermelon. Blood mixed with bones and flesh splashed on the floor, table, cup, bowl …
After a short silence, the second floor of Yunlai Building burst into a burst of exclamations.
"Don't scream, it's useless!"
In the chaos, Wang She's calm voice came into everyone's ears. "Now stay here obediently. No one is allowed to leave before we leave, including the three rats on the beam and the four on the roof. I'll kill anyone who moves!"
Nian Wushuang frowned slightly, as if she wanted to say something, but finally said nothing.
The second floor of Yunlai Restaurant also quietened down. Everyone silently endured the flying flesh and blood as they returned to their respective seats and sat down. There were a few unlucky fellows whose heads and faces were covered in flesh and blood. They were also the ones who had screamed the loudest earlier, but they were the most well-behaved. They obediently found a quiet and secluded place to sit down, not even bothering to wipe off the disgusting flesh and blood on their bodies. They did not move at all, as obedient as rabbits that were about to be pampered for the first time.
After saying this, Wang She didn't say anything else. Instead, he once again looked in the direction of the Lu Mansion. Looking at the layers of buildings, the sneer on his face became more and more intense. Finally, it turned into an extremely cold aura and his eyes became gloomy.
"I've never understood why you are so hostile to Lu Shaoyou. And Ji Zhongtang, we really don't understand your attitude towards him!"
Nian Wushuang said. As she spoke, an invisible barrier appeared around her, gathering her voice and not letting any of it leak out.
"I just want to take back something that belongs to me. In addition, I want to shatter a person's lifelong belief!"
"A person's lifelong belief? You mean Ji Zhongtang?!"
"Yes, that's him, Ji Zhongtang!" Wang She nodded. Speaking of this, his voice paused for a moment. "When did you become so concerned about my affairs?"
"I'm not concerned, I'm just curious!" Nian Wushuang shook her head and said, "That's why you made a very simple matter so complicated!"
"Simple? It's not as simple as you think! "
"No, although the mountain and the Mingyi School have reached an agreement on this matter, if you, me, and Lei had opposed it at the beginning of the agreement, even those old guys on the mountain would have had to pay attention to it. It would have been very difficult to reach an agreement. However, you didn't do that. Instead, when the agreement was reached and the outcome was a foregone conclusion, you instigated Lei and forced him to take a stand. Moreover …!" "You're wrong.
I didn't force him or say anything. On this matter, he would never give up. You and I both know that. As for what you said just now, it makes sense. I do have my own selfishness. However, my selfishness won't hinder your interests, including Lei's. Without me, we three Chiefs can't stop the agreement on the mountain if we don't agree. But you know, Lei has his interests, and so do I. From this matter, I can see my own interests, and at the same time, I can also take into account Lei's interests. Why don't I do that? If I only care about Lei's affairs and delay my affairs, don't you think it's unfair to me?! "
"Fair or unfair, it depends on how you say it. You've made such a big deal out of it, which is unfair to the mountain. This will make the mountain bear the reputation of treachery!"
"Then why didn't you stop me?!" Wang She sneered and said, "After all, it's also good for you to do this, isn't it? I heard that some old men on the mountain seem to think that they can get more benefits by marrying you out. Now that we've done this, they will have scruples when they act, and you won't always be so annoying, right?! "
"So, you're also very concerned about my affairs!" Nian Wushuang chuckled softly. Nian Wushuang chuckled and said, "But you're right. We all have our own interests. As for the mountain, humph, as long as our interests are protected, the interests of the mountain will also be protected. As for our reputation, let those old guys worry about it. Otherwise, they'll be too bored to think about the messed up Mandarin Duck Chart all day long!"
"Hahahahaha —!" Hearing this, Wang She closed the small fan in his hand and fiercely slapped it on his palm, laughing out loud, "That's right, it's time to find something for them to do, so that they don't have to think about it all day long. Hahahaha …!"
… …
… …
The wedding procession went very smoothly. Not long after, they arrived at the Governor's Mansion. Lu Shaoyou dismounted from his horse and entered the Governor's Mansion surrounded by a group of people. He then began to play the game of picking up the bride. The process didn't take long. It seemed that Governor Ma didn't attach much importance to this custom of picking up the bride. He didn't make things difficult for the bridegroom. About an hour later, the bride was picked up and entered the eight-bearer sedan chair, which was carried towards the Lu Mansion.
This time, they walked on Zhengyang Street instead of Wuyang Street. This was somewhat similar to the custom of Junior Leopard's previous life. It was to pick up the bride, so there was no reason to turn back.
The distance from Zhengyang Street to Lu's Mansion was shorter than that from Wuyang Street, but the procession was very slow. In fact, this was also a blunder. No one expected that picking up the bride would be so smooth. It was not noon yet. It was still too early to take the bride home, which was against the rules. Even if they arrived at the gate of Lu's Mansion, they would have to wait for a long time. It was unreasonable for them to wait too long. It was better to waste time on the road, and it would be better for them to wait for a long time.
