Chapter 895 Inviting Qi Heng to Attend the Ceremony
By noon, the dishes in the kitchen were already prepared.
Lin Yuesha went straight to the main kitchen and cooked a large New Year's Eve dinner, inviting the Medicine King and Yan Yan to sit at the same table.
The camp was filled with the aroma of food. Just as Lin Yuesha had designed, the soldiers were overjoyed and the atmosphere was high as the food was served in a self-service manner.
The Qiuyue Troupe and the performing soldiers took turns on stage, and cheers echoed everywhere.
During the meal, Lin Yuesha took the initiative to toast Old Man Yao, showing great respect. Others were unaware, but only she knew how important that bottle of Jade Complexion Cream was to her.
The tattoo was like a nightmare. Lin Yuesha thought she would have to live with the mark for the rest of her life, but unexpectedly, it was easily erased without leaving a scar.
"Lin girl, the old man and Yan girl get along very well. Of all the disciples and grand-disciples, we can't find one as talented as her."
The old man, known as the Medicine King, ate to his heart's content. He had finally found a long-term meal ticket through his own abilities, and he was willing to do hard labor in order to eat.
He had already prepared to pass on the recipe for the Jade Complexion Cream to Yan Yan. Some of the ingredients were not found in the Northwest and had to be searched for deep in the northern mountains.
If even one of those medicinal herbs is missing, the finished product will be completely different. This is why Yu Rong Gao (Jade Complexion Cream) cannot be mass-produced like Chinese cabbage.
"Uncle, this is fate between us."
Lin Yuesha was extremely grateful. She found a new pair of chopsticks and frequently served food to the old man, Yao Wang.
Qi Heng was in the camp, while Lin Yuesha's side consisted entirely of women, except for the old man.
The old man, known as the Medicine King, not only had expertise in processing medicinal herbs but also possessed miraculous healing abilities. He took Jiang Baozhu's pulse, prescribed a decoction, and Jiang Baozhu's complexion visibly improved.
The meal was in full swing when Lin Yuesha had just put down her chopsticks when Bai Cha came in to report, "Miss, Lord Xu has come to fetch you."
"Pick me up?"
Lin Yuesha apologized and hurried out to find Xu Da.
"Cousin, I've discovered you're a real jinx; your bad predictions always come true, never the good ones."
Xu Da urged Lin Yuesha to get into the carriage quickly, as it was New Year's Eve and the foreign tribes were coming to challenge them, hurling incredibly foul insults.
The soldiers were celebrating Lunar New Year's Eve when these unlucky things spoiled their mood.
"Come on, I'll take you to the city wall to see what new tricks Helian City has come up with."
Not only did Helian Cheng come, but Yuwen Kun also came with Miaoyin to challenge them. The two were dressed in bright red wedding attire, so it was unclear whether they were already married.
"So fast?"
Lin Yuesha's brow twitched. Ever since Yuwen Kun overheard their conversation, the two of them had made rapid progress.
The great demon married Miaoyin, and Lin Yuesha was relieved that when she was lurking by Yuwen Kun's side, he hadn't gone completely insane yet.
Xu Da muttered, "That imposter is a bit stupid, but if he doesn't talk much, it's really hard to tell the difference."
The same face, two people who look exactly alike, they are too similar, no wonder Yuwen Kun was fooled.
Why did Yuwen Kun bring Miaoyin along to challenge them?
Lin Yuesha couldn't figure out what the snake spirit was thinking. At this hour, he should be in his room drinking the nuptial wine and waiting for their wedding night.
"Cousin, you don't know this."
As a man, Xu Da understood Yuwen Kun's actions; it was clear he wanted to show off to Qi Heng.
Marrying the woman his mortal enemy admired felt amazing, and Yuwen Kun was naturally eager to let everyone know.
Lin Yuesha twitched her lips. Well, she was being narrow-minded.
As the two talked, they arrived at the city gate, where Qi Heng was already waiting.
"You bastards of the Great Qi, do you dare to accept the challenge? Your grandfathers are coming!"
Helian Cheng unleashed a torrent of passionate insults, finding great joy in his rant.
At the Qi camp, the soldiers were singing and dancing, completely ignoring the challenges from the foreign tribes.
Not only that, the harsher Helian Cheng and his men cursed, the less the soldiers paid attention. Instead, they toasted each other and tried the new dishes prepared by the cooks.
The young general said that's exactly how it should be done. He'll make things difficult for Helian Cheng and his gang during the New Year. They'll curse until their throats are dry, but no one will listen to them. They'll be furious.
In fact, Helian Cheng had been shouting for almost half an hour and was almost exhausted.
On New Year's Eve, who wouldn't want to enjoy the holiday? He was having a good time drinking and having fun with Hanlu when the leader ordered him to come out and challenge them.
The reason is simple: Yuwen Kun, for some unknown reason, after attending the ceremony with Miaoyin, suddenly had a whim and decided to marry Miaoyin that very night.
The wedding ceremony of the city lord of Sishui City had to be grand and impressive. Yuwen Kun especially wanted Qi Heng to attend the ceremony, but he couldn't go to Daqi to find him, so he had to resort to a challenge to get Qi Heng to come out.
Sure enough, with his exertion, Qi Heng had already reached the city wall.
"Lord Yuwen, Qi Heng has arrived. Are you preparing for the ceremony?"
Helian Cheng was parched and helpless with Yuwen Kun, this lunatic. He hoped that Yuwen Kun would leave Jinyu Pass as soon as possible after the New Year to avoid being tortured.
"Wait a little longer."
The imposter Lin Yuesha hasn't appeared yet; Yuwen Kun is waiting for the imposter.
Miaoyin was filled with anxiety. She realized that disguising herself as Lin Yuesha and constantly walking on the edge of death was a truly arduous task.
Today, Yuwen Kun took Miaoyin to a merchant's house to watch a variety show. Miaoyin thought that she could have two days of peace during the New Year, so she acted very relaxed. However, Yuwen Kun overinterpreted this and thought that she envied the rich man's son getting married and wanted to get married herself.
Halfway through the ceremony, Miaoyin was forcibly dragged away, and Yuwen Kun took her to the wedding shop.
The shop was already closed for the Lunar New Year and would reopen after the Lantern Festival.
Ignoring everything else, Yuwen Kun smashed the door open and entered. They had to rob several shops to find a well-fitting bright red wedding dress.
Yuwen Kun said, "There's no time like the present. Since Jin Yuguan has the custom of getting married on an important day, I decided to follow the local custom and perform the rites of marriage with Miaoyin."
Qi Heng is a scumbag; there's nothing worth staying for. A woman only finds true belonging after she gets married.
Miaoyin was on the verge of tears. She wanted to explain, but was misunderstood as still thinking about Qi Heng.
"What other wishes do you have? Tell me, and I, the city lord, will grant them."
"I would like to invite Qi Heng and the imposter to attend the ceremony together."
Miaoyin deliberately created a difficult situation for Yuwen Kun, thinking that he would have no choice but to postpone the marriage. Who knew that Yuwen Kun would make such a big fuss?
If she could end it all with death, Miaoyin really wanted to die; she was in despair.
Now I finally understand why Lin Yuesha firmly chose Qi Heng. Yuwen Kun's personality is truly terrifying.
"Qi Heng has arrived. The imposter was taken to the city wall by Xu Da. Now everyone is here."
Yuwen Kun observed with a telescope made of bamboo tube and said with certainty.
"Moonlight Veil, are you willing to marry this city lord?"
Yuwen Kun asked this question seriously. He had no ulterior motives; thinking of Lin Yuesha's companionship in the days to come, Yuwen Kun revealed a genuine smile.
She didn't want to, but she didn't dare say it.
"willing."
Miaoyin's voice was weak. At this moment, did she have any other choice?
