Siao Tieying looked down from his horse and waved at Chu Li. Chu Li closed fist saluted and smiled.
Amidst the music, the crowd moved forward.
Chu Li and Tian Shi were in the middle of the crowd, surrounded by people. It was as if they were in the middle of the sea, they could not help but be carried forward.
Chu Li was like a fish in the sea, moving swiftly and smoothly. He patted a person lightly, then went out and patted another person.
Tian Shi saw him patting the shoulders of three people in the crowd. The three people's faces turned pale, they were injured.
Chu Li's body movement technique was fast and his inner energy was strong. The three people were masters in hiding but they could not escape his eyes. One by one, they were injured and could no longer jump out to cause trouble.
Tian Shi could not help but praise him. What a good technique!
Chu Li had such a reputation and it was not by luck that he had such a reputation. He had a real ability that people could not compare to. There was no way to be jealous.
Chu Li moved through the crowd like a fish. He looked at the shaking red bridal sedan and shook his head with a smile.
Master Xiao Tieying also knew how to play tricks. There was no one in the sedan. It was an empty sedan. The bride had probably already entered the Public House or would sneak into the Public House later.
This was a foolproof move. If there was an assassination, the bride would not be hurt.
The crowd moved. Chu Li moved through the crowd and stopped the six masters. He protected the wedding procession all the way to the Public House's main gate. Once they entered the main gate, they would be safe.
He was finally able to take a good breath and completely relax.
As soon as he stepped into the Public House's main gate, Linquan quietly came over and whispered, "Chief Chu, someone from the Imperial House is here!"
Chu Li raised his eyebrows, "The Imperial House?"
"It's the Scribe from the Imperial House. They brought a lot of rewards. I'm afraid it's from the Emperor." Linquan lowered his voice.
Chu Li frowned and slowly nodded, "Alright, I'll go welcome them."
He was afraid that they did not come with good intentions. The Emperor would not welcome the marriage between the two Public Houses.
Linquan said, "The Scribe from the Imperial House is already outside the town. Master Xiao Tieying is entering the Public House. I thought it would be better not to disturb Master Xiao Tieying."
Chu Li replied, "Mm, I'll greet the scribes from the imperial house first. Then, I'll observe the situation and send someone over to inform Master Xiao Tieying if they're going to officially welcome him. What a coincidence!"
"Yes," Lin Quan replied in a low voice and quietly retreated.
Chu Li, on the other hand, brought along a few Protectors and traveled along a secluded path using his Light-body Technique.
Not only did the noise in the city not dissipate, it became even more fervent.
When Chu Li arrived outside the city gate, he saw a few young men in purple robes sitting on horses outside the city.
There were a total of six of them, and they were surrounding two carriages. They were sizing up Chong Ming Town and wanted to enter the town.
"Are you Scribes from the Imperial House?" Chu Li greeted them with a fist salute. "I am Chu Li, Chief of the High Duke's Public House."
The knight in the lead was a handsome young man with a tall and straight figure. He was indeed a rare handsome man.
With a sincere smile on his handsome face, he jumped off the horse and cupped his fists, "Chief Steward Chu, this lowly one is Lin Yuanshan. I have come under the emperor's orders to congratulate Xiao Gongye on his wedding!"
The rest of the Scribes also jumped off the horse and cupped their fists to return the gesture.
Chu Li smiled, "Lin Feng Zhao, Master Xiao Gongye could not come and greet you personally, so he ordered me to greet you on his behalf. I hope that Lin Feng Zhao will not be offended!"
He could see Lin Yuanshan's official rank. The Scribes from the Imperial House also had official ranks, and their ranks were similar to those from the Imperial House.
Lin Yuanshan was a rank five Fengzhao. In the Imperial House, which was even stricter than the Imperial House, it was rare for him to be so young. He had a bright future ahead of him.
"Hehe, what are you talking about!" Lin Yuanshan waved his hand and smiled, "Master Xiao Gongye has just brought the bride in. If we were to ask Master Xiao Gongye to leave the bride behind and come and greet us, that would be rude!"
Chu Li laughed, "Lin Feng Zhao is here on behalf of the emperor. How can we neglect him? Let's enter the Public House first, and then let Master Xiao Gongye toast everyone. Come, please!"
"Alright, alright, then let's not stand on ceremony," Lin Yuanshan smiled.
Under Chu Li's company, everyone entered the town.
Looking at the bustling Chong Ming Town, Lin Yuanshan smiled, "It seems that Master Xiao Gongye is indeed a virtuous person, and has the support of the people!"
Chu Li smiled, "Let's all join in the fun. It's rare to have such a happy event. As for saying that it's for Master Xiao Gongye, that's just flattering Master Xiao Gongye."
"Hehe, Head Chief Chu Li is too humble. We've heard of Master Xiao Gongye's virtuous name in the Imperial House." Lin Yuanshan shook his head and smiled, "As the saying goes, hearing about him is not as good as meeting him in person. This time, I've finally witnessed Master Xiao Gongye's prestige."
Chu Li said, "It's fine if it's just the Public House, but once we leave Chong Ming Town, there aren't many people who know Master Xiao Gongye. I've even caught a few assassins just now. There are many people who like Master Xiao Gongye, but there are even more people who hate Master Xiao Gongye. Sigh … This is the fate of the Public House. There's nothing we can do about it."
"Yes, yes." Lin Yuanshan quickly nodded, "The Public House has worked hard. It's really tough."
Chu Li smiled, "Lin Feng Zhao has such thoughts. On behalf of the Protectors of the Public House, I want to thank you."
"Hehe, everyone understands the hard work of the Public House," Lin Yuanshan smiled.
Chu Li shook his head and sighed, "Everyone understands the hard work of the Public House, but they tend to overlook it. They think that it's the Public House's business and that the Protectors of the Public House deserve to die."
"Sigh …" Lin Yuanshan sighed, "Everyone is raised by their parents. Who would have such thoughts?"
Chu Li said, "There's always a group of people in the Imperial Court who are against the Public House. They think that the Public House is too powerful and should be abolished."
Lin Yuanshan nodded, "Yes, these people don't know the dangers of the martial arts world. They think that the Public House is too powerful. However, most people understand the Public House and know the severity of the situation."
Chu Li sighed, "It's all thanks to the Emperor's insight."
"That's right, that's right." Lin Yuanshan closed fist saluted towards the Fairy's Capital, "The Emperor's insight is vast. No one can deceive him!"
Chu Li knew that Lin Yuanshan was here to deliver gifts, but he also had the responsibility of visiting the Emperor. He had to report everything he had seen and heard along the way to the Emperor. Naturally, he could not let the Emperor feel that Chong Ming Town was like an iron bucket, where everyone was crowding around Master Xiao Tieying.
When they arrived at the Public House, there was already a group of people standing outside the Public House. Master Xiao Tieying had received the news from Chu Li and was waiting with everyone.
When Lin Yuanshan saw this, he closed fist saluted and laughed, "Master Xiao, you're too kind. I'm here on the Emperor's order to congratulate you on your wedding. The Emperor has given me a number of gifts. Please allow me to read the list of gifts!"
"Thank you, Lin Fengzhao!" Xiao Tieying closed fist saluted.
Lin Yuanshan took out a booklet from his sleeve and started reading, "Ten pieces of Eight Jewels … A pair of Jade Scepter … Six sets of Natural Silk Quilts …"
Everyone was speechless. The Emperor was generous and all of them were treasures.
After Lin Yuanshan finished reading, he kept the booklet and waved his hand.
Two carriages slowly approached each other. A Scribe from the Imperial House got on the carriage and opened up four big boxes. Instantly, the smell of pearls and jewels filled the air.
Xiao Tieying smiled and closed fist saluted. Chu Li and his men kept the carriages and entered the Public House.
Everyone took their seats. Lin Yuanshan sat on the main seat with Chu Li accompanying him.
