The wedding of the Great Qin is a morning welcome and a night walk.
Although the woman is in the manor, the formality still has to go one way.
So, in the morning, Yushu was sent to a residence in the city to wait for someone to come to welcome the bride.
“The girl is truly blessed, she will certainly be blessed with many sons in this life.”
The people around said auspicious words as they freshened up.
Yu Shu, however, was indifferent.
She knew, of course, that she was just a tool.
Just then, Wei Yi came through the door and shooed everyone out.
Then with a smile on his face, he spoke to Yushu and said
“Maiden, today is your big day, congratulations.”
Yushu looked at herself in the bronze mirror and said indifferently that
“You are congratulating yourself, right? When you return this time, you will be reappointed.”
“After all, exchanging a useless daughter for so many craftsmen, and an ally, is a good deal.”
Wei Yi said, with a leathery smile.
“What a thing to say, girl, we are also the kin of the lord of the country, and it is only right that we share the country’s worries.”
“Besides, the Zhao family’s son is the best in terms of looks and talent, so what is your complaint?”
Yu Shu was silent.
Yes, what did she have to complain about?
Wei Yi spoke up at this point and
“Maiden, the procession to welcome the bride is on its way, so please prepare properly and don’t miss the auspicious time.”
Hearing the threat in the words, Yushu responded indifferently that
“Understood.”
Only then did Wei Yi reveal a satisfied smile and retreated.
Soon, the cheerful sound of gi music rang out in this frontier county.
And the incessant stream of guests added a rare touch of liveliness to the county.
Welcoming the bride, performing the rituals…
By the time all the formalities are completed and the bride is escorted into the bridal chamber, it is already evening, when the man has to toast his guests.
“Congratulations.”
Everywhere Zhao Xie went, there was a chorus of congratulations.
But he left as soon as he touched it, he had a big event to do today and he couldn’t get drunk.
It was only when he reached the magistrate and General Zhang Han that he gave a real toast.
After exchanging pleasantries, Zhao Xie did not notice that one of General Zhang Han’s attendants was looking at him with a stunned expression.
Then to Win Yin Man, who was dressed as a man next to him, he said
“Am I seeing things? Why do I feel that this groom looks like one of Long’s schoolboys from the previous Zhuang!”
Hearing this, Ying Yin Man said fiercely.
“If you dare mention him again, I’ll castrate you!”
The two of them immediately argued again and no one noticed.
A figure flashed across the roof of the house in the night.
On the roof, Ji Wushuang looked at the lively wedding feast below and was in a trance.
If she hadn’t run away, perhaps there would have been such a wedding feast too?
But she quickly snapped back to her senses and spoke to a side of
“Aryan, you and the others will take over on the outside.”
“It’s heavily guarded inside, so it’ll be hard to get out if you’re spotted.”
Aryan froze for a moment and said that
“Holy Maiden, it is still too dangerous for you to be alone, just let the others be on the outer perimeter and I will follow you.”
“It’s good to have a lookout.”
Ji Wushuang thought for a moment and said that
“It’s good, you come with me, if there’s any danger, hide behind me.”
“The others, meet them outside.”
When he finished, he felt his way inside.
As Ah Liang looked at Jie Wushuang’s back, a hint of hesitation flashed in his eyes, but then he became firm and
“A few personal feelings, how can they be compared to national hatred!”
“If you want to be blamed, you should be blamed for being too upright!”
Then following up, he said to Ji Wushuang
“Holy Maiden, I know of a courtyard where there is no one and it’s close to that bride’s courtyard! We can sneak in there!”
Ji Wushuang nodded her head at once.
Soon, the two of them walked over towards that side.
And on the other side, Zhao Lang stood on the roof and spoke to the few people who had gone to their deaths, saying
“Stay here and watch our back, I’ll meet up with you once I’ve got it.”
Go Dead nodded, then took his lance and led the men to scatter.
Bringing the lance was just in case, it wouldn’t do to rely on a dagger when it came time to really kill a way out.
Zhao Lang recalled down and then leaned towards a courtyard.
That was the place he had looked at yesterday, a place where the servants of the master’s house were specially dressed to live.
The courtyard was not large, but it was secluded and still close to the bride’s courtyard.
As he stalked along, Zhao Lang noticed a faint hint of something wrong.
When he had come to check it out yesterday, there were some guards in various parts of the courtyard.
But today, these guards were all gone.
Zhao Lang frowned, so he became more and more careful when he arrived at the location he had chosen.
But a shock went through his heart and he lowered his body in a hurry!
Because he could see that outside that one courtyard, there were many guards slowly leaning over!
At that moment, Ji Wushuang was in the hut in the courtyard, smiling and saying that
“Ah Liang, you have done well, this is indeed a good place.”
“How did you find it?”
Aryan said at this point, but in answer to the question
“Holy Maiden, is it true that we have no room for manoeuvre with the Zhao family?”
“The Zhao family is after the state of Zhao, and is an indispensable force against the tyrannical Qin!”
“They are also capturing artisans to build up their strength, so what is wrong with a little sacrifice for the sake of the great cause?”
Ji Wushuang heard this and immediately frowned and said
“Ah Liang, didn’t I tell you yesterday? You have seen how cruel that man is!”
“We have already arrived here, there is no need to say more about this matter.”
“You rest in the house while I go outside and watch. ”
After saying that, Ji Wushuang headed outside.
A Liang sighed at this time, looked at Ji Wushuang’s back and took out his own short sword.
It was bared.
There was a sound of a sharp blade entering the body.
Ji Wushuang then saw an additional sword blade at his right shoulder.
Ji Wushuang’s eyes were full of incredulity as she looked back, and saw Ah Liang holding the bloodied sharp sword and spoke fiercely, saying
“Holy Maiden, you forced me to do this.”
Ji Wushuang did not understand what was happening at that moment, and her right hand tried to pull out the sword, but a sharp pain interrupted her.
But she didn’t hesitate in the slightest, and with a kick, she sent Ah Liang straight through the house, flying out!
Just as she wanted to follow up and kill the other side, a large group of guards suddenly poured in!
At the head of the group was none other than Zhao Xie, who was dressed in auspicious clothes.
Zhao Xie looked at Ji Wushuang, who was already injured, and said that
“Sage of the Agricultural Family, we have finally met.”
Ji Wushuang’s face turned cold as she forcibly drew her sword and then charged towards her opponent.
Even if it meant death, she would not compromise with such a person!
But what greeted her was a large net, making it impossible for her martial arts to be used.
Looking at Ji Wushuang’s piteous appearance, Zhao Xie’s heart moved slightly.
He might even be able to take this opportunity to master the peasants of the entire Liaodong County!
On the side, Ah Liang also climbed up and covered his stomach and said that
“Surrender, Holy Maiden, no one will come to save you, and the surrounding peasants will be cleared away, too.”
Ji Wushuang closed her eyes straight away, she felt sick to her stomach even looking at this man now.
Zhao Xie frowned and spoke coldly.
“Lock her up with those artisans and don’t let her die.”
“After my big wedding, I will have a good talk with her again.”
