Hao Defang's party had already departed, but the Netherworld Governor's Office hadn't even decided on a candidate to attend the wedding. The problem was that Miao Yi didn't seem to have any intention of sending anyone to attend.
The Governor's Office was peaceful. Miao Yi paced back and forth in the loft, fiddling with a crystal jar. Inside was a jade cicada that was as white as jade. When he fiddled with it, it would occasionally let out a melodious chirp, like a beautiful woman singing. It was very interesting. Who knew where Xu Tangran got this rare thing from.
In short, Xu Tangran managed Virtuous Assembly Hall. He had a lot of connections and would always think of a way to get something rare to show his respect.
"Milord, are you really not going to send anyone to attend the wedding? Won't it raise suspicions? "Yang Zhaoqing couldn't help but remind him.
Miao Yi fiddled with the crystal jar and said disdainfully, "What's there to attend? I know it's fake. Why would I send a hostage to Pang Guan? Besides, who will go? The weak ones won't be able to represent me. The strong ones will be the hostage. "
This was indeed a problem. Yang Zhaoqing turned to look at Yang Qing. Seeing that Yang Qing didn't have any reaction, and even Miao Yi didn't say anything, Yang Zhaoqing guessed that it wouldn't matter whether he sent anyone or not, so he didn't bring it up. He reminded, "The generals in the underground palace are asking when we're going to send troops again."
Miao Yi narrowed his eyes at the jade cicada in the crystal jar. "Tell them to wait patiently. Without my military orders, they are not to move. Everything will remain the same. They are not to reveal anything to anyone below them. Do not let the Heavenly Court notice anything unusual!"
The Mao Road Marshal's Manor was decorated with lanterns and colored banners. Guests came from all over the place, all of them rich and powerful.
The place to receive the guests was a luxurious courtyard a hundred miles away from the Marshal's Manor. Due to the demonic monk Nan Bo, the wedding seemed grand, but it was actually quite simple. For safety reasons, the wedding was held in this courtyard. When the time came, the bride would be brought from the Marshal's Manor to this courtyard. The bridal chamber would also be held here, saving them the trouble of going back and forth in the starry sky.
Wang Lao was dressed in a festive manner. He personally welcomed the guests at the courtyard's entrance. The smile on his face never faded, and his mouth was wide open.
Hearing the congratulatory words of the guests, or the congratulatory tone of the old acquaintances, he couldn't help but feel a little proud in his heart. If he hadn't been hot-headed and messed around, how could there be such a good thing? Sure enough, he had made a mistake. However, he was still grateful to Hao Defang in his heart. His highness really treated him well. Without his highness's support, there wouldn't be such a good thing. The only flaw was that his highness wouldn't come to his wedding this time. He could only go back and bring his new wife to pay their respects.
Pang Guan's two sons, Pang Zizhang and Pang Zilu, were also waiting at the gate to welcome the guests.
Obviously, the two of them couldn't smile as brightly as Wang Lao. Who would notice Wang Lao? The two of them snorted in their hearts. You'll cry later.
However, when there were guests, the two of them still tried their best to squeeze out a smile. Ordinary guests were led to the guest courtyards by the servants. If a distinguished guest came, Pang Zilu would directly lead them to the Marshal's Mansion to see his father. After all, not everyone could run into the Marshal's Mansion.
Everyone in the Marshal's Mansion was dressed in a festive manner today, and so was Pang Guan.
After sending off the guests and returning to the living room, Chen Huaijiu quickly walked to Pang Guan's side and transmitted his voice, "Master, I received a message from the Stargate guards. The old thief should have already entered Mao Road's territory."
It couldn't be helped that Hao Defang's whereabouts were exposed. They were already in Pang Guan's territory, and the guards at the Stargate were Pang Guan's men. It was hard for Hao Defang not to be exposed.
Pang Guan's ten fingers that were holding onto the chair's armrest tightly clenched, and a cold smile appeared on his face. "Good! Inform the subordinates to get ready. "
Chen Huaijiu said, "Should we arrange for Madam and the others to make preparations to retreat? Otherwise, if a fight breaks out, and we don't have time to inform the family members in the mansion to gather in time, there might be repercussions."
Pang Guan was silent for a moment, then shook his head. "No need. We can't make any suspicious moves at this time."
"Yes!" Chen Huaijiu agreed, muttering in his heart. He could only hope that everything would go smoothly.
Pang Guan suddenly asked again, "Has Niu Youde sent anyone over?"
Chen Huaijiu said, "According to Duan Chun 'er's report, Niu Youde doesn't intend to send anyone over. He is busy making arrangements and has no intention of coming over here. He has already secretly mobilized the army. Some of the troops have quietly left the land of the Netherworld, or are secretly stationed at the exit of the Netherworld, or are lurking at important places to make early preparations for the follow-up attack of the army."
Pang Guan nodded slightly. "That fellow is good at fighting, so we don't have to worry about the mobilization of troops. The morale of the army should not be a problem. A group of people who used to hold high positions in the Netherworld for so many years have a chance to take back what they have lost. Morale can be used. As long as they kill their way out of the Netherworld, they will definitely be like tigers and wolves!"
In the inner residence of the Marshal's Mansion, where the womenfolk lived, the relatives and friends of the bride gathered and were all taking a look at the bride.
The bride sat in front of the dressing table, and the servants were helping her to comb her hair. Her relatives and friends, of course, were all womenfolk. They walked in and out of the room, laughing endlessly as they watched the bustling scene.
Kou Wenqing, who had entered the room, also had a smile on her face. She stared at the bride in the mirror and covered her mouth as she laughed, "Sister, you are so beautiful today."
She was an old acquaintance of Miao Yi's. Back when Miao Yi was participating in the trials of the Lifeless Lands, she had even helped him out. Speaking of which, she still had to address Miao Yi as Uncle. However, she was no longer the young lady she was when she first met Miao Yi. She had long since married off to one of Kou Mian's trusted aides, a Lieutenant. She was now the mother of a child and dressed like a married woman.
It was not strange for the Heavenly King's granddaughter to congratulate the Marshal's daughter on her marriage. Moreover, the two of them knew each other.
Kou Wenqing congratulated Pang Yuniang in front of the mirror. She could see that Pang Yuniang was not in a good mood, and she could understand it. Back then, she did not want to marry that Lieutenant, but her father was very enthusiastic and insisted on matchmaking. She had no choice but to marry him. Now that she even had a child, she would probably have two more in the future when the time was right. It was meaningless to talk about whether she was willing or not. Generally speaking, that Lieutenant still respected her. She did not know if it was because of her background, but she always felt that there was something lacking between husband and wife. However, her life was not as bad as she imagined, and she managed to get through all these years.
After Kou Wenqing went out, she chatted with the women in the courtyard.
Not long after, Guang Mei 'er and Huangfu Jun- Y entered the room together. Y entered the room again. Huangfujun? Y came purely as a friend, while Guang Mei 'er came as a representative of the Guang family.
Seeing the two people in the mirror, Pang Yuniang looked as if she could not bear to look back at them. She slowly closed her eyes.
This caused the two of them to be unable to say the congratulatory words they wanted to say. They could not help but recall the night of the incident.
'Huangfu Jun?' Y sighed inwardly. As soon as she saw Pang Yuniang, she could not help but ponder the meaning of Miao Yi's words to her that day. Many things had happened recently. Her grandfather had passed away, and the Huangfu family was a secret.
Guang Mei 'er's eyes were stung by Pang Yuniang's reaction. She blamed herself in her heart. It was all her fault. If she had insisted on not leaving, if she had not left Yuniang alone, then this would not have happened.
After the two of them left the room, Huangfu Jun? Y's eyes searched everywhere. Logically speaking, the Governor's Office of the Netherworld would also send someone to congratulate Pang Guan's daughter's wedding. Who would they send? Yun Zhiqiu or Fei Hong?
Alas, he could not find anyone after looking everywhere. Instead, his eyes met Guang Mei 'er's, who was also searching everywhere. Guang Mei' er had the same thought.
The two of them looked at each other blankly, then smiled at the same time. Soon after, they looked away with their own thoughts in mind. They were both thinking that Miao Yi might not be close to Pang Guan. He did not come here, and was probably at the guest house.
As the auspicious hour approached, the ladies gathered there could not stay any longer. One by one, they left the Marshal's Residence and headed to the guest house where the wedding was held, waiting to witness the ceremony.
At that moment, Pang Guan and the others were also hurrying to the starry sky. Hao Defang had already arrived in this star sector and had already sent a message to Pang Guan about her arrival. Pang Guan naturally had to come out to welcome her.
After waiting for a while in the starry sky, Wang Lao and the others had also rushed over. They bowed to Pang Guan and said, "Your son-in-law greets Father-in-law. I heard that His Highness had urgently settled the matter at hand and rushed over?"
The way he addressed Pang Guan disgusted him. In the past, the two of them used to call each other brothers.
Pang Guan forced a smile on his face and nodded. "Mm. I am quite surprised that His Highness would take the time to come. It shows how much His Highness values my son-in-law."
Wang Lao said politely, "Not at all. I am also basking in Yuniang's glory." However, the joy on his face could not be concealed. He always felt that Hao Defang was lacking something when she did not come to his wedding. Now that it was a satisfactory result, at least he was proud.
Not long after, Chen Huaijiu muttered beside Pang Guan, "They're here!"
Hundreds of people appeared in the depths of the starry sky. Their leader was Hao Defang. She had already taken off her disguise, and Su Yun was by her side.
Seeing the welcoming formation, the number of people behind Hao Defang suddenly increased. A dense army appeared, ready to set up defenses and control various important places. A large group of people crowded around Hao Defang.
However, at that moment, there was a sudden change. Hao Defang's trusted general, Li An, suddenly roared, "Kill!"
Two million soldiers among the ten million immediately tore off the white scarves around their necks and turned into rebel soldiers. They gathered and charged at Hao Defang.
Under such a shocking turn of events, Hao Defang's bodyguards reacted quickly. The moment Li An shouted "Kill!", they quickly gathered around Hao Defang and engaged in close combat with the rebel army. As the Left Commander Yan Xiao stood in front of Hao Defang, he let out an urgent roar. The hidden army that accompanied Hao Defang appeared. Another ten million soldiers surrounded the rebel soldiers while protecting Hao Defang.
Hao Defang's expression was cold. Ignoring the rebel soldiers, he suddenly turned around and looked coldly in Pang Guan's direction.
It was a joke to want to rebel with such a small number of people. However, they knew that it was a dead end, yet they still rebelled at this time. Hao Defang was horrified.
Sure enough, he saw a sinister smile appear on Pang Guan's face. He quickly grabbed the shocked Su Yun, and the two of them disappeared into the protection of the army.
"…" Wang Lao was also stunned. He immediately fished out his spear and rushed to help. He shouted, "Wang Lao is here!"
Before he could get close to Hao Defang's defensive camp, he suddenly froze. The people who had lined the road to welcome Hao Defang had suddenly expanded into a dense army. They were divided into several groups and surrounded Hao Defang's camp. Countless magic-breaking bows were drawn.
Wang Lao turned around to look at Pang Guan and shouted angrily, "General!"
"Kill!" Pang Guan roared and gave the order.
