On the official road, a group of carriages and horses were moving forward.
The wind was blowing, blowing the flag with the word 'Xie' in the middle. The dozens of horsemen in the surroundings were all clad in armor. Their mounts were tall and mighty, without a trace of impurity. As they moved, they seemed to be in sync with each other, like a magnificent army.
Each of the horsemen was skilled in martial arts. Their physical bodies were at least at the Earth Energy realm, and there were a few Grandmasters among them. Their horses were ferghana horses that could travel a thousand miles in a day and eight hundred miles at night!
Even an ordinary county might not be able to gather such a large number of horsemen.
The carriage was made of the best Deep Sea Agarwood. Although it looked simple on the outside, one could smell a sweet fragrance from inside that could refresh one's mind. The decorations inside were clean and refreshing, and there was a pot of Ambergris incense. Combined with this Agarwood, it could cleanse the impurities in the body and prolong one's lifespan.
On a small table beside the Ambergris incense, there was a stack of papers filled with information. A jade-like hand pressed on the first line with Wu Ming's handwriting. She said in a deep voice, "The Wu siblings are unfathomable!"
If Wu Ming was here, he would see that his name, ancestral home, and even the things he had done since he was young had been recorded. Some of the ink hadn't even dried yet, so it was obvious that they were newly added.
When such a huge organization was in operation, it could penetrate through any hole.
"I think he's just so-so!"
A young man picked up the report and glanced at it. Then he sneered, "This Wu Ming has a bad track record. He's simply a playboy. If he was born in the Xie family, he would have been beaten to death by the family rules! On the other hand, his sister, Wu Qing, can become a Daoist Master at such a young age. She also has a phoenix character. Her future is limitless! "
"Brother, don't underestimate this person. If he doesn't have true ability, how could he make Wu Jiedu marry him?"
As the woman spoke, a look of fascination appeared in her eyes.
"Sister, do you think highly of Wu Zhi?"
The young man asked.
The woman smiled and said, "It's not that I think highly of you, but I admire you. You can do what we women can't. Sister Wuzhi is really not inferior to a man and has set a good example for us women. I'm afraid there are many women in the world who have the same thoughts as me!"
"Sister, you can only say this to me. Otherwise, if someone else hears it, you'll be punished. I wonder if my Fifth Uncle will be so angry that he won't be able to eat for a few days after hearing this information. He'll scold you for reversing moral principles and confusing right and wrong."
The youngster stretched lazily. "But I think that Wu Ming is just lucky … Wu Zhi was born in the southern phoenix, so he can't marry into a big family if he wants to keep his family business. Maybe he just randomly chose a talented man of low birth …"
With Wu Zhi's current status, it was indeed impossible for her to marry into another aristocratic family. Otherwise, it would be tantamount to handing over the family's foundation to someone else.
"Wrong!"
The woman said, "If that's the case, you should marry into our family. Why do you have to lower yourself to marry? If you underestimate this person, I'm afraid you'll suffer greatly! "
"Forget it, forget it!"
The youngster half reclined. "I won't argue with you, sister. Aren't we going to congratulate him? We can take a closer look … In reality, those uncles are worrying for nothing. Our Luo River Xie Family is famous throughout the world. Even if the world is in chaos, after the new dynasty is established, they will definitely appease us … "
"Your knowledge is far inferior to my Shuang Zhu's! Unfortunately … the heavens are jealous of heroic talents. If they were still here, they would definitely be overjoyed and want to compete with you after hearing about Wu Zhi, right? "
As the woman spoke, a trace of sadness appeared between her brows.
Luo River Xie Family!
This was the world famous dao family, and it was also where Xie Xiao Yu and Xie Xiao Di were born!
Of course, this pair of siblings didn't know about the entanglement of karma, and Wu Ming wouldn't be so kind as to tell them.
…
Fifth year of Ping An, fifth day of the twelfth month. It was a good and auspicious day for traveling and getting married.
The entire Chu Feng County City had been bustling with people and carriages since a few days ago. It was packed to the brim with guests from all over.
Fortunately, with Wu Tiehu, Chen Jingzong, and the other capable generals doing their best to maintain order, and with Ceng Yu taking care of the internal and external affairs, everything was handled in an orderly manner without any trouble.
Because they knew the ins and outs, some complicated formalities could be skipped. According to Wu Ming and Wu Zhi's intentions, it was to be simple.
Immediately, according to the ancient etiquette, they went through the procedures of accepting gifts, asking for names, offering gifts, accepting gifts, and asking for a date. Next, they decided to welcome the bride on this day.
"Mm, not bad! Little brother has finally grown up! "
Wu Qing personally tidied up Wu Ming's clothes, and the corner of her eyes became a little moist.
"Sister … I'm going!"
After all the preparations were done, when the auspicious time arrived, Wu Ming immediately went out and mounted a white horse. The ceremonial music was played, and the huge procession began to head towards the county city.
The bride's family was naturally the provincial governor's residence in the Chu Feng County City. At this moment, Wu Ming was riding on a horse, and he immediately complained in his heart, 'I didn't expect to be Prince Charming today … This ancient marriage is really troublesome …'
However, he also knew that this etiquette was for others to see. Putting aside the matter of fate, it was for the sake of announcing it to the public.
Moreover, the more complicated the process, the more solemn it was, and the greater the price of regret in the future.
"I've taken care of quite a number of rats. Finally, there aren't any jumping around today …"
Looking around again, Wu Ming wore a smile on his face.
Since it was related to the young master's wedding, Wu Tiehu naturally had to do his best. Even if Wu Ming wasn't afraid, Wu Zhi was afraid of losing face. Naturally, he sent people in secret, and the journey was very safe.
"Invite the newcomer!"
When they arrived at the provincial governor's residence, Wu Zhi walked out with the help of a few old women. Around him were valiant and heroic female soldiers from the Phoenix Camp, and they looked solemn and dignified.
She wasn't wearing a phoenix crown and a red cape, but a black auspicious robe similar to Wu Ming's. The black was tinged with red, and it symbolized heaven and earth, holiness and peace.
Although she was wearing a veil, her charm still made the onlookers secretly admire her.
At this moment, Wu Ming stepped forward and welcomed the bride into the procession.
After three cannon salutes, the procession mixed with the soldiers of the Personal Camp immediately returned. It was already dusk when they arrived at the Wu Family Fortress, which was the auspicious time.
At this moment, the hall was filled with guests, and the voices of children and girls started singing.
"The heavenly peach, its brilliance shines. When the son returns, it is fitting for his family. "
Amidst the solemnity and elegance, the two newlyweds solemnly saluted and were immediately welcomed to the table in the center. On it was a roasted lamb and two ladles of wine.
Wu Ming and Wu Zhi sat opposite each other and ate together. They also offered wine to each other.
The "Book of Rites, Muddleheaded Righteousness" said, "Eating together in the prison, becoming one with the other. Therefore, being one with the same status and being close."
This meant that the husband and wife loved each other from then on and became one.
This was an ancient ceremony. All the guests in the hall were solemnly witnessing it. If anyone looked around or made a loud noise, it would be impolite. If it was light, they would be asked to leave. If it was heavy, they would directly become enemies.
After a simple ceremony, the two newlyweds were sent into the bridal chamber.
"Husband …"
Under the light, Wu Ming lifted Wu Zhi's veil and saw that her face, which had always been heroic, was a little shy. He could not help but smile.
However, he sighed in his heart.
In the ancient ceremony, the husband and wife were of one heart, which meant that their luck was connected.
However, he had the Third Eye, so he could see clearly that Wu Zhi's luck was quite accepting of him. However, he had the Marquis Pearl to suppress his luck, so he had not connected his luck and truly matched the ancient ceremony.
Although he and Wu Zhi were married, he still had too many secrets that he could not tell Wu Zhi.
However, what kind of person was Wu Ming? He had changed with the world and was not tired when encountering love. In an instant, he got rid of all distracting thoughts. His eyes showed the light of innocence and infinite love, "Exi, you are so beautiful today!"
"My figure and appearance are shallow, please take pity on me, husband!"
Wu Zhi said in a low voice like a mosquito.
The candlelight was immediately extinguished, and the night was silent …
…
"The flowers in the hair are beautiful, and the buyao is golden. The hibiscus tent warms the spring night. The spring night is short, and the sun rises high. From now on, the king does not attend morning court … "
On the second day, the soldiers of the Fire Phoenix Camp entered to groom the two newlyweds.
Wu Ming stretched his back and let out a long sigh.
"You are so shameless. Are you comparing yourself to the king?"
Wu Zhi was helped up by the maidservants. She looked even more charming.
"No … I'm sighing that the spring night is short, and the good time is fleeting …"
Wu Ming shook his head, but Wu Zhi's face turned red.
As the provincial governor, she really could not leave for a day. She could not help but say, "It's my fault …"
She glanced at the maidservants beside her and said with a slightly red face, "If you are lonely, you can use them at will. They have followed me for many years and have long decided to follow me for the rest of their lives …"
"We are newlyweds now. Let's talk about this kind of thing in the future!"
Wu Ming picked up the eyebrow pencil and drew Wu Zhi's eyebrows. He smiled again, "I'm afraid that I will neglect you when I focus on my cultivation in the future …"
"Love is stronger than gold, and the Great Dao is unforgettable …"
Wu Zhi held Wu Ming's hand. They were both people who pursued the Great Dao. However, Wu Ming took the path of personal detachment, while Wu Zhi took the path of the world and wanted to lead the whole world to detachment. Although their paths were different, they understood each other and felt closer.
"After you worship your ancestors and see your sister, it's time to deal with the proper business …"
After breakfast, Wu Ming's face became solemn, "Marquis Ding once sent someone to destroy this marriage and was taken down!"
"This person refuses to give up. One day, I will send troops to deal with him!"
Wu Zhi also sneered and regained the decisive expression on the sofa.
"And the guests in the hall, they have to be sent away one by one … Even if the two of us do things separately, I'm afraid we will be busy for a few days. Fortunately, when the marriage is over, I will not interfere anymore. These things, I will let you handle!"
Wu Ming laughed.
…
"Young Master, Miss Xie asks to see you!"
A few days later, Wu Ming was wearing a cloth robe and was busy reading Taoist books when he heard Steward Wu's report.
"Miss Xie? Xie Ling 'er? Looking at the time, it's about time. Let her in! "
A smile appeared at the corner of Wu Ming's mouth.
This Xie family was quite fated with him. Unfortunately, it seemed to be an ill-fated relationship. The Xie family's twin pearls died in two of his missions, leaving a deep impression.
If there was no karma, he would not go to see this messenger.
"I am Xie Ling 'er, greet Young Master Wu!"
Not long after, a graceful lady with creamy skin and a palace dress that dragged on the ground strolled in and bowed respectfully. "Please forgive me for disturbing you, Young Master!"
