Chapter 440

There were more and more commoners crowding in front of the Gathering of Treasures Gate, Zhan Ning 'er, Sister Sun, Mao Wenzhi and Hua Yunfei were also standing in the crowd, watching the two figures standing in the pavilion from afar. High up in the sky in the distance, a huge round moon seemed to envelop the two silhouettes.

Sister Sun excitedly grabbed Zhan Ning 'er's hand and said with surprise and joy, "It's Brother Xiaotian and Miss Yingying, how did Brother Xiaotian bring Miss Yingying out? They … they … are really good! Really good! "

Although Sister Sun's Chinese was becoming more and more proficient, she could only carry out daily communication, she did not know too many descriptive words, she only felt that this scene was extremely romantic, she could not help but look forward to it, but she did not know how to express it, thousands of words came to her mouth, but in the end only became the word "really good".

Mao Wenzhi exclaimed in admiration, "Oh my god, Big Brother is really … really too capable. He's so good at coaxing women, as long as he wants to make a move, which woman can escape from his palms? "

Hua Yunfei had a slight understanding of Ye Xiaotian's preparations these past few days, but seeing it with his own eyes, he could not help but be shocked. Hearing Mao Wenzhi's words, he only smiled slightly and did not say anything. Suddenly, Hua Yunfei seemed to have sensed something and secretly glanced at Zhan Ning 'er, he saw that Zhan Ning' er was staring at the pavilion, her black pupils like water, her gaze blurred.

"Hurry up, hurry up, take it, take it!"

On the Gathering of Treasures Gate, Zhao Si Gonggong urged a few people, hurriedly dismantling the huge lotus flower lantern, the interior of the lotus flower lantern seemed to be sewn with leather, after it was deflated, the surface area was not very big, those people hurriedly dismantled the lotus flower lantern and quickly dragged it away.

This lotus flower lantern only had external lotus flower decorations and lights, it was a temporary decoration added by Ye Xiaotian and his group of bad friends, its original shape was just a ball sewn with leather. This thing was originally invented by the skilled craftsmen of the military department, they originally planned to use it to spy on the enemy, it would be of great military use.

They even planned that once it was successfully developed, it would first be given to Qi Jiguang, to be used in the war against the Tartars in the north. But after several studies and tests of the finished product, they found that this thing was not practical at all.

First of all, they couldn't make this thing fly too high. The heat provided by the machine couldn't make it fly above an arrow's distance, and the crossbow could shoot it. Once it was shot by the crossbow, it would deflate and fall. Moreover, it was such a big target that it would be hard not to be shot.

Moreover, because the target was too big and couldn't fly high, it couldn't be used for covert reconnaissance at all. Once it moved out, it would be discovered by the enemy. In addition, this thing had another problem, after it was installed with a tail, it could adjust its direction and landing point when the wind was with it, but it could not fly against the wind.

In this way, once it was really used for military use, the army first had to seize the limelight, only then could it be used to fly. Also, once it flew out, it could not fly back, the heating materials on it could only allow it to fly a few dozen li at most, the speed depended on the wind speed, once it was released, it was destined to fall into the hands of the enemy.

These disadvantages could not be improved, Zhao Si Gonggong judged it to be worthless, in the end, only this finished product was left in the warehouse. Now that it was recycled, Zhao Si Gonggong gave it to Kuai Peng and the others, Zhao Si Gonggong did not feel bad, but he was afraid that others would find out where it came from and find out his weakness.

He was the godson of Eunuch Liu, and Eunuch Liu was the godson of Eunuch Feng Bao in the capital, after the death of Zhang Juzheng, Eunuch Feng did not have an easy time, at this time he naturally did not dare to pass on any information to others, so he personally came, as soon as they finished using it, he immediately took it away and destroyed it. Thus, this wondrous item disappeared from the world.

In front of the Gathering of Treasures, the lady boss of a shop had just scolded away a picky customer. Her husband had died early, and she had to support the shop alone, so it was impossible for her not to be fierce, but no matter how fierce a woman was, her heart still longed for warmth and romance.

Looking at the man and woman in the gazebo, the lady boss stood at the door of the shop, hands on her waist like a man, and said enviously, "Hey! In the past five hundred years, which man has ever pursued a woman so diligently? If someone treated me like this, this old lady would definitely marry him. "

The only waiter in the shop hurriedly came over, coughed, and said, "Shopkeeper, if I had that thing that can fly, I could do it too."

The female shopkeeper's face hardened, and she coldly said, "If you don't want to be beaten, then die far away!"

Xia Yingying lightly kissed him, her face flushed with excitement and happiness.

She was a proud daughter of heaven. She grew up under the care of countless people since she was a child. She could take whatever she wanted, but how could everything she got compare to the scene that her beloved man had painstakingly created for her, not to mention that all of this was so romantic, like a dream or fantasy.

During the Shangyuan Festival, her man descended from the sky, took her up into the sky, and in front of the whole city as a witness, he poured out his love to her. All of this made her so happy that her heart was about to explode. She wrapped her arms around Ye Xiaotian's neck, and said happily, "Little Brother Tian, I'm so happy!"

Ye Xiaotian's gaze swept slightly into the distance, and he saw a group of knights rushing over from the other side of the Changgan Bridge. Because of the crowd on the bridge, the knights had to slow down, and dozens of horses crowded together, a particularly obvious target.

The corners of Ye Xiaotian's mouth gently raised a beautiful arc. He held Yingying's soft waist, pointed to the Qinhuai River, and said, "Yingying, look over there!"

A gaily-painted boat was stopped on the water in front of the bridge, and there were many dancers in colorful clothes on the deck, each holding a lantern. They were performing a lantern dance. There were more than 200 kinds of lantern dances, the most common being the lantern dance, the lantern dance, the lantern dance, and the lotus lantern dance. Among them, the lantern dance was the one that paid the most attention to the lighting effect, and with the help of the light, various patterns were displayed.

At this moment, the dancers danced gracefully, and the red lanterns in their hands gradually formed a big red heart. The dancers with the lanterns paused for a moment, then continued to dance. From afar, the red heart suddenly became bigger and smaller, as if it was a heart that was constantly beating. Gradually, the red heart turned into two red hearts that overlapped each other, jumping with the same rhythm.

In the cabin, Zhang Hongyi crossed his legs, sipping tea with relish. A mother next to him smiled and said, "Childe Zhang, what are you doing today?"

Zhang Hongyi ignored her, looked outside, and said with a smile, "This boy is good!"

Looking at the jumping red heart, Yingying's eyes also seemed to have red hearts popping out. Ye Xiaotian held her waist, and in the constant sound of firecrackers, he took the opportunity to shout, "Yingying, I love you, do you love me?"

"I …"

Yingying was not a girl who liked to be reserved. She looked at Ye Xiaotian affectionately, and was about to say her heart openly, but the onlookers around the pavilion couldn't help but wave their arms and shout, "Love! Love! Love! "

"Get out of the way, get out of the way!"

The horsemen shouted rudely, driving the crowd to make a path. Li Guojiu, Old Master Xia, Third Master Gu, and the rest rushed to the pavilion, and their faces turned pale when they saw what happened.

Yingying saw them rushing to the pavilion, riding on their horses, and looking at her with a pale face. She could not help but secretly stick her tongue out, and whispered to Ye Xiaotian, "My father and the rest are here."

Ye Xiaotian seemed like he did not hear or see it, he looked at Yingying and shouted loudly, "Yingying, I want to marry you, will you marry me?"

Since her old father was under the pavilion, Yingying was a little shy. She pursed her lips, and just when she was about to say yes softly, the onlookers under the pavilion began to wave their arms and shout again, "Marry! Marry! Marry! "

Li Guojiu was furious, he was so angry that he was shaking. Old Master Xia looked pale too, he really did not know what to say in such a situation.

The Xia brothers looked at each other, but they saw something different in each other's eyes. To be fair, ever since they found out that Ye Xiaotian was the Gu God Cult's Venerable, they did not want their little sister to marry Ye Xiaotian. However, seeing Ye Xiaotian's earth-shattering scene, they sincerely admired him.

The idea, the ability, the courage, and the grand scene, they could not help but ask themselves, if they were women, would they say yes if someone put in so much effort for him?

As if responding to their thoughts, Yingying lifted her head, she stared at Ye Xiaotian shyly and happily, and said with a voice that was not very loud but clear, "I do!"

The people under the pavilion immediately cheered. Everyone wanted to see the lovers get married. They did not understand the man and woman in the pavilion, but everything that Ye Xiaotian had done had conquered their hearts. They felt that such a beautiful woman should marry such a man. Such a man should have such a woman.

Li Guojiu's face was ashen. He did not say a word, he just turned his horse's head and went against the flow of people towards the Changgan Bridge.

"Imperial Uncle …. You stinking girl, get down here!" Old Master Xia shouted at Li Xuancheng, but Li Xuancheng did not seem to hear him. Old Master Xia turned to the pavilion again and shouted at his precious daughter in exasperation.

Ye Xiaotian looked at Li Guojiu who turned his horse and left, the smile on his lips rising even higher.

Love was like a battlefield. If the enemy was too strong, what should he do? Whether it was family background, status, or looks, Li Guojiu was not someone that Ye Xiaotian could compare with. He knew very well that Li Guojiu liked Yingying, which was a huge threat to him.

No matter how much Yingying liked him, if Yingying's family liked Li Guojiu and decided to marry Yingying to Li Guojiu, it would be a huge problem for him to solve. He was only a small figure, how could he fight against two powerful families?

He believed in Yingying's sincerity and courage, but sometimes it was not enough. Compared to the means and power of a powerful family, an individual's strength was sometimes insignificant, no matter how determined you were.

After the incident with Shuiwu, Ye Xiaotian became especially cautious. Once this kind of danger was discovered, it should be quickly strangled and nipped in the bud. So after knowing the method that Kuai Peng could provide, Ye Xiaotian immediately thought that he could play a little bigger. He was no longer satisfied with just seeing Yingying, he wanted to use this opportunity to announce to the world, "Yingying is mine!"

Big figures have resources and power that small figures can't use, but big figures also have restrictions and troubles that small figures can't imagine. For example, Ye Xiaotian's actions tonight, he could do it, but Li Guojiu could not.

If someone confessed to Yingying like tonight, and even got Yingying's consent, he still refused to give up until he won Yingying's heart, everyone would praise him for his ability, but the same thing could not be done to Li Guojiu.

If Li Guojiu still refused to give up in this situation, he would encounter strong pressure from his family and the whole society. His family would blame him for disgracing his family and prevent him from marrying a woman who was no longer pure and flawless in their eyes. In the secular world, people would scold him for bullying the weak. This was his weakness, but Yu Xiaotian's advantage.

Small figures also had great wisdom. After this incident, Ye Xiaotian had basically eliminated the possibility of Li Guojiu and Yingying. Of course, it was inevitable that it would cause Li Guojiu's jealousy and revenge, but with Ye Xiaotian's unscrupulous character, would he care? The only one who could restrain him was probably his father-in-law. As for others, even if it was the Emperor, he was not afraid.
