Chapter 97
The strong smell of gunpowder made it difficult for people to breathe. Those who could be avoided had already avoided were already on the side. The crowds besieged by the avenue had already been in a mess, some were running for life, some were watching the fun, and some were gloating. The soldiers kept rushing into the crowd to find the people who threw firecrackers and messed up, but where could they find it? After a while, when the initiator was not found, the sound of firecrackers stopped and the smoke slowly dissipated with the wind.
After a while, the soldiers cleaned up the wedding road, and the team continued to move forward, and came to the gate of the Chu Palace amidst the music. But when they saw the Chu King, the little prince and others had already knelt outside the gate to greet him. An old man whispered loudly, "Welcome the Queen Mother, the bride! Play music!" The festive music sounded again, followed by the sound of firecrackers. A voice came from the empress dowager's sedan chair: "Flat." Everyone stood up and welcomed the three sedan chairs into the interior.
The three large sedan chairs walked all the way to the King of Chu Hall in the center before stopping. The King of Chu, the little prince immediately knelt down to welcome the three of them out of the sedan chair. But when he saw one person coming out of the first sedan chair, wearing a red and green body, but wearing a red scarf on his head, he couldn't see his appearance clearly. But everyone knew that she was the queen mother, so he didn't care. Then, one person walked out of the second sedan chair, wearing a phoenix crown and a red veil, and thought that it was the bride Chen Ruxin. The person who walked out of the third sedan chair was tall, but still wearing a red scarf on his head. Even so, everyone knew that he was Chen Ruxin's father Chen Zhixin. But why the empress dowager and Chen Zhixin also wore red scarfs on his head were unknown, and they were embarrassed to ask questions, so they had to pretend not to see him.
While the empress dowager was sitting, the King of Chu sat on the left side of the empress dowager, and the princess was on the side of her. Chen Zhixin sat on the right side of the empress dowager. After sitting down, the empress dowager said, "To avoid delaying the auspicious time, hurry up and give a tribute." Hearing his voice was thin and thick, it seemed to be coming out of his throat. Everyone didn't care, but just thought that feeling the wind and cold made the sound thicker.
Because of the influence of firecrackers thrown into the wedding road just now, the auspicious time is about to pass. Therefore, the old man who loudly welcomed the empress dowager at the gate quickly presided over the wedding. After the worship, after drinking the wine, he shouted loudly: "Send the groom, the bride into the bridal chamber!" The gongs and drums became loud, and the band played joy again. The little prince Zhu Shunmin walked into the house with Chen Ruxin's slender jade hands.
The Empress Dowager stood up and said rudely: "Prince, I will go back to the capital to report to the emperor." Chen Zhixin also stood up and prepared to leave. The King of Chu was shocked and did not expect that he would leave just after the worship. The wedding banquet was ready, but it had not started yet. Without the Queen Mother, what kind of wedding banquet would be? The King of Chu hurriedly got up and followed and asked: "Empress Dowager, why did he leave in a hurry? No matter how urgent the Emperor's order is, he had to go back after the wedding banquet." The Empress Dowager shook his head and said: "No need!" He continued to walk out the door with Chen Zhixin.
Suddenly, a voice came: "Slow!" Everyone looked in the sound and saw a person standing at the gate. He was in his forties or fifties, and seemed to be sad between his eyebrows, with deep eyes, holding a black dry tobacco pipe about five feet long. The person who spoke just now was him. King Chu said happily: "General Yan, you are here at the right time. Please leave the Queen Mother and Lord Chen." The man was Yan Rufeng, known as the "No. 1 Hero of Huguang". Yan Rufeng said: "
Prince, his subordinates appeared to keep them. However, he would keep them without hesitation." As he said, his cigarette pouch was placed in front of his chest and said sternly: "Removing the red scarf above his head, otherwise don't blame me for being rude!" Seeing this, the King of Chu said in shock: "General Yan, you must not be rude to the Queen Mother and Lord Chen!" Yan Rufeng said: "Prince, my subordinates naturally dare not be rude to the Queen Mother and Lord Chen, but they are ruthless to these two people."
Yan Rufeng jumped towards the empress dowager and waved his cigarette in the air to hit her in the face. The King of Chu exclaimed: "Stop!" But how could Yan Rufeng listen? Just as he was about to hit the empress dowager's face, the empress dowager suddenly took two steps back and avoided easily. Yan Rufeng made three moves in a row, but they were all easily avoided by the empress dowager. Yan Rufeng stood still and asked: "I have never heard that the empress dowager today can actually be martial arts. Who are you?" The King of Chu was shocked to see this and asked: "Who are you? You dare to pretend to be the empress dowager today! This is going to be beheaded!"
The Empress Dowager said angrily: "Bold! How dare you attack me! Seeking death!" After that, he slashed at Yan Rufeng with a palm. Yan Rufeng was shocked. Unexpectedly, the other party's palm power was so strong that he hurriedly avoided it. At the same time, he waved his cigarette to pick the red scarf on the other party's head. However, after several moves, Yan Rufeng could not touch the red scarf. Suddenly, he shouted loudly, and the cigarette bus was as fast as the wind, covering all the vital points of the other party's upper body. The Empress Dowager had to step back and avoid it. Then, Yan Rufeng
Rolling forward, jumping over the head of the empress dowager, and before landing, he shook his tobacco pipe, the red scarf above the empress dowager was lifted up and fell to the ground. Everyone suddenly saw the face of the "Empress dowager", and all exclaimed "ah". It turned out that the "Empress dowager" was dressed up by Guo Rong. He just changed into the empress dowager's clothes. The King of Chu took off the red scarf of "Chen Zhixin" and was even more shocked. It turned out that "Chen Zhixin" was made by Tan Hui to change into his clothes.
Yan Rufeng shouted, "Who are you? You dare to make trouble on the happy day of the little prince!" The King of Chu immediately called soldiers to surround the hall. Guo Rong said, "A gentleman has the beauty of adulthood. We are here to fulfill their relatives!" At this time, Zhu Shunmin had already returned to the hall with his bride. He was shocked and opened the veil and looked at him. A smiling face looked at him. It was Zhen Zhu. Another person in the hall fainted with a "ah" and said, "The man was no one else, but Zhen Zhu's father identified. Seeing this, Zhen Zhu hurriedly shook Zhu Shunmin's hand, ran over to help his father up, and shouted softly: "Dad, Dad! You
Wake up!" But how could he respond? He had already lost consciousness. Yan Rufeng said: "Hmph, Miss Zhen, who are you?" Zhen Zhu often went in and out of the palace and had feelings for Zhu Shunmin. Everyone knew about it. Usually, everyone envied this couple. The man had a noble status, a beautiful woman, and a pair of talented and beautiful women. Everyone even thought that Zhen Zhu was the best choice for the future little princess. Therefore, there were almost no one in the palace who didn't know Zhen Zhu. Zhen Zhu said: "I'm my friend. Let them go, I'll take care of everything!" The King of Chu shouted: "Can you afford to offend the Queen Mother and disturb the palace?"
Yan Rufeng asked proudly, "Who are they you?" As he said that, two young men were brought in from outside the door, Xiong Feibai and Wanlijiang. It turned out that the emperor ascended the throne at a young age, and the empress dowager has always been the one who held the power of the court. He was powerful and powerful, and he was so noble. Therefore, the King of Chu had already made arrangements to let Yan Rufeng protect him secretly to avoid making mistakes. Yan Rufeng saw the firecrackers chaotic formation and immediately lurked beside him. Seeing Guo Rong lit the sedan chair
The three of them were then secretly replaced by pillars and three of them sat in the sedan chair. The real empress dowager, Chen Ruxin and Chen Zhixin, were locked in a small house beside them, guarded by Xiong Feibai and Wanlijiang. Guo Rong and others thought that the plan was perfect, but Yan Rufeng had already seen it. Then, when Guo Rong and others entered the mansion to pay their respects, they asked soldiers to rescue the empress dowager and other three, and at the same time arrested Xiong Feibai and Wanlijiang and brought them into the royal palace.
Guo Rong said anxiously: "Don't hurt them. Is it Yan Rufeng, the 'No. 1 hero of Huguang?" Guo Rong knew from the few moves he had just taken. The opponent's martial arts were unfathomable. Who else would be there besides Yan Rufeng? Yan Rufeng said coldly: "Good boy, knowing the name of this general, he actually dares to make trouble. He really took the courage of the bear heart and leopard!" Zhen Zhu said on the side: "Young Master Guo has no intention. They just can't bear to see this girl sad and want to make a pair of mandarin ducks. Unfortunately, you discovered it. Zhu
The sister accepted her fate." As she said that, she turned to look at Zhu Shunmin. The two of them looked at each other, and Zhen Zhu burst into tears. Zhu Shunmin said, "Father, let them go, it's all the fault of the child. Zhu Mei was also infatuated and did not maliciously hurt the prince's house, and she dared not offend the queen mother." The King of Chu suddenly laughed and said, "Since you have already worshipped, why do you say let go if you let go?" Zhen Zhu and Zhu Shunmin both looked at him in shock. Zhen Zhu said, "If you want to cut off your clothes, you can listen to the emperor, but please let my friend go." Zhu Shunmin said, "Father, Zhu Mei..." but couldn't continue.
The King of Chu asked, "Shunmin, what would you do if your father killed Zhen Zhu now?" Zhu Shunmin looked at Zhen Zhu with tears, and felt a hidden pain of separation from life and death, and slowly said, "The child does not want to live alone!" Zhen Zhu heard it, and cried loudly, and rushed over and threw himself into Zhu Shunmin's arms. The King of Chu continued to ask, "Zhen Zhu, what would you do if I let you never meet Shunmin again forever?" Zhen Zhu looked at him with tears, gritted his teeth and said, "It would be better to be together than to be able to meet!" After hearing this, the King of Chu laughed to the sky and said, "One is affectionate, the other is righteous. A pair of infatuated men and women with affectionate and righteousness, how can I bear to separate you?" After hearing this, everyone looked at him in shock, wondering what he would say.
After laughing, the King of Chu said, "I said that since I have already worshipped, I am a member of the Zhu family. Zhu'er, don't regret it." Zhen Zhu heard it, and didn't understand what it meant, and was still stunned. Xiong Feibai said loudly: "Sister Zhen, the prince recognizes you as his daughter-in-law!" The King of Chu nodded with a smile. Zhu Shunmin immediately pulled Zhen Zhu to kneel down on the ground, and said loudly: "Father, my son and Zhu sister thank you for your accomplishment!" The King of Chu said, "I will have more."
What's wrong with being a daughter-in-law, let alone a fairy-like daughter-in-law, what's wrong with it? Hahaha!" Zhen Zhu also kowtowed and claimed to be "father". The King of Chu said: "However, since the emperor issued an order to betroth the daughter of Lord Chen to Shunmin, then Zhu'er had to be wronged and lived in a small house. I wonder if he would?" Zhen Zhu said: "Zhu'er is just a minority girl. She should recognize Sister Chen as her sister and serve her sister and the little prince for the rest of her life." The King of Chu was even more happy after hearing this, and nodded repeatedly and said "good".
Guo Rong and the other four felt apologized. Guo Rong said, "Prince, since that's the case, let's say goodbye." King Chu said, "Since you are Zhu'er's friends, it's not too late to stay and have a wedding banquet before leaving." Guo Rong thought that he wanted to inquire about his senior sister in the palace, so he agreed to stay. He also woke up from the screening. He heard that his daughter had become the little princess, so he couldn't stop talking about him and said to King Chu: "Prince, I didn't expect that we will be in-laws. If there is something wrong with the little girl in the future, please discipline her more." The two in-laws met and were extremely intimate.
Then, the host of ceremonies presided over the wedding again. The true empress dowager rescued by Yan Rufeng sat down in the middle. Chen Zhixin sat on the right side of the empress dowager. Chen Ruxin put on a phoenix crown and robe and married Zhu Shunmin. After the ceremony, the banquet was held. Guo Rong and others chose a remote seat to sit down. First, they wanted to seek peace, and second, they could observe the whole audience.
After three rounds of wine, the King of Chu brought Zhu Shunmin and Zhen Zhu to toast. Zhu Shunmin and Zhen Zhu thanked him repeatedly. However, the King of Chu said, "Today's plan to replace the pillars is very good. Xiong Feibai is not only extremely courageous, but also brave and resourceful at a young age. As expected, the King of Chu learned from Zhen Zhu that it was arranged by Xiong Feibai, and he couldn't help but look at him differently. Xiong Feibai was praised but not proud, and sighed, "It's a pity that he was still seen by General Yan. The prince doesn't have to talk about this anymore. The boy feels ashamed." The King of Chu smiled and said, "Don't be ashamed."
Heart, a young hero. I heard that your family is poor and you are a talent that can be made, it is better to stay in the royal palace. I have the best gentleman in Huguang. Mr. Lu has always loved heroes and young men. If you join his disciples, you will definitely give them all. Maybe you will be the top scholar in high school in the future and serve the court and serve the king." Xiong Feibai was overjoyed when he heard this and kowtowed and called the King of Chu "Mr.". Wanlijiang was even more envious and wanted to stay in the King of Chu with Xiong Feibai. The King of Chu agreed to the friendship between Xiong Feibai.
The King of Chu looked at Guo Rong and Tan Hui and said, "Guo Yingxiong, Tan Yingxiong, you might as well stay in the royal palace for a few more days." Guo Rong and Tan Hui agreed. The King of Chu left with a smile. Xiong Feibai and Wan Lijiang were very excited. Guo Rong said, "Feibai, you are determined to serve the court. Now is the best opportunity. Should you let down the efforts of King of Chu and your teacher?" Xiong Feibai said, "Master, why not stay here to assist the King of Chu." Guo Rong said, "There is something important to be a teacher. Come on, I will only drink today, not talk about anything else." As he said, everyone drank happily and rock-scissors.
Guo Rong kept paying attention to the audience and did not find his senior sister. Suddenly, he caught a glimpse of the emcee of the wedding and asked the person in the palace beside him. The man was a guard of the palace named Wang Wei. Wang Wei said: "The man is the prince's cousin's husband, named Lu Yuantian. It is said that he is well-educated and is deeply loved by the prince. He is in charge of the school of the King of Chu." Xiong Feibai heard that Lu Yuantian was in charge of the school, and he was the "best gentleman in Huguang" mentioned by the prince, so he could not help but look at it a few more and murmured: "Teacher Lu is the kind of person who is full of knowledge at first glance."
That night, Guo Rong and others stayed in the Chu Palace and lived in the guest room on the south. At the second update, Guo Rong claimed that he would go back to his room to sleep, so he escaped. He took advantage of the vague moonlight and sneaked towards the center of the palace.
As soon as he ran a while, he saw a figure running eastward. Guo Rong saw that the figure was a little short, and he couldn't help but think of Wei Xiaopeng. But when he looked closely, he seemed to be half a head taller than Wei Xiaopeng, and it seemed that he was not him. Looking closely at his figure and footwork, he seemed to have mediocre light skills. He couldn't help but think of Zhen Zhu last night, and laughed in his heart: He dared to act wildly in the Chu Palace with such martial arts! He was curious and ran behind him.
After a while, the figure came to the east of the Martial Arts Hall, and saw that the door was wide open and the light was bright, so he walked straight in. When the man walked to the light, Guo Rong found that this person seemed familiar and had seen him somewhere. He became more concerned and continued to follow. In fact, the young man was no one else, but Wen Siyang's apprentice Cao Yifeng.
After Cao Yifeng entered the Martial Arts Hall, he was immediately stopped by two martial artists and asked, "Boy, why are you here for?" Another martial artist asked, "Looking at you, you don't look like a man in the palace, you dare to break into the Chu Palace!" Cao Yifeng smiled faintly and said, "Who is the one who called Jiang Shun on the Sky?" One person laughed and said, "What are you doing with Lord Jiang? Are you a disciple?" Cao Yifeng shouted, "Call him out so that you won't suffer!" The man laughed louder and said, "Why, do you still want to show off your power in the Martial Arts Hall of the King of Chu Palace? You know where this place is
Do you know how many martial arts masters live here?" Cao Yifeng hit the man in the chest with a "bang" punch. The man groaned, fell to the ground, screaming loudly. Another martial artist was shocked and rushed to Cao Yifeng's face. Cao Yifeng took a step back and avoided him, jumped high, and kicked the other party's face. The martial artist covered his face and screamed loudly, and blood had already oozed out of his fingers. Guo Rong did not expect that the martial artist's martial arts were so bad that he was seriously injured by Cao Yifeng in just one or two moves. He felt that the scene was very good, and he couldn't help but watch it secretly.
Suddenly, four more martial artists jumped out, stopped Cao Yifeng, and shouted, "Bold thief, dare to come to the Martial Arts Hall to act wild!" As soon as the words were finished, the four people raised their fists to attack Cao Yifeng. Cao Yifeng stepped back and avoided, jumped up, and kicked the two people in the air in the air. The two of them hurriedly retreated and avoided. Cao Yifeng rolled in the air and rushed down, grabbing the feet of the two people with both hands. Pulling back with both hands, the two fell to the ground immediately. The other two martial artists rushed over and kicked Cao Yifeng on the ground. Cao Yifeng made a move to "carp thrust" on the spot, rolled over and kicked in the air, kicking both feet together, hitting the two people's face. The two screamed in terrible voice, hurriedly avoided, and covered their faces with their hands. Cao Yifeng was kicking their eyes just now, and the pain was unbearable.
The two martial artists who fell to the ground just stood up. Cao Yifeng took two steps and jumped high, and kicked the two of them in the face. The two screamed and retreated. Suddenly, one of them pushed away the two of them and asked, "Boy, looking for death!" As he said that, he swung a sledgehammer and smashed Cao Yifeng. Cao Yifeng retreated and avoided, and asked, "You are the Sky Hammer Jiang Shun?" The man said, "That's right, it's your grandfather! What's the matter?" Guo Rong also recognized that this man was Jiang Shun who had fought with him on the big ship. Cao Yifeng asked, "Did you remember that an old lady had been hammered to death in front of the Chu Palace?" Jiang Shun said, "I killed countless people, no matter whether he is an old lady or an old man, how can I remember so much?"
