The high platform was bustling with activity.
Shi Qian, one of Wei Jinzhong's godson and the head of the Langya Prefecture Martial Arts Management Division, held up a glass of wine and smiled as he spoke to Wei Jinzhong.
"Godfather, since everyone is in a good mood, why don't you and godmother drink a toast together to liven things up?"
You should know that this Shiqian is already eighty-five years old, hunched over, and has lost all his teeth when he smiles.
He looked old and frail, even older than Wei Jinzhong.
But in order to rise to prominence, this old man disregarded all propriety and shame, and actually recognized Wei Jinzhong as his godfather.
Without this connection, he wouldn't have been able to become the head of the Langya Prefecture Martial Arts Management Division.
Shi Qian's suggestion was immediately met with enthusiastic support from everyone present, who cheered loudly.
"good!"
"Drink the nuptial wine."
"Crossing the cup of wine."
Wei Jinzhong, who was slightly tipsy, glanced approvingly at Shiqian upon hearing this and said happily.
"My son understands my thoughts best."
After saying that, he grabbed a glass of wine from the side, turned around and handed it to Ye Wushuang with a lewd grin, saying it with a lewd look.
"Come, my lady, drink a toast with your husband."
"From now on, you're my woman. I'll treat you well tonight, hehe..."
Ye Wushuang was tied to a chair, her mouth gagged. She was both angry and anxious, unable to make a sound. She really wished she could kill this old eunuch with a single blow.
She struggled desperately, but couldn't break free at all.
However, because the movement was too large, the wine that Wei Jinzhong handed over was spilled.
Clang—
The wine glass fell to the ground, splashing wine all over Wei Jinzhong.
In front of so many people, Wei Jinzhong was very unhappy. A hint of hostility flashed in his eyes, and he turned to signal to his left and right.
Two old women rushed forward and forcibly restrained Ye Wushuang.
Another person stepped forward, grabbed a glass of wine, lifted the red veil, and was about to force-feed Ye Wushuang the wine.
"stop!"
Just then, a loud shout came from outside.
Everyone turned to look in the direction of the sound.
Then a group of people came walking quickly, looking travel-worn.
The person in the lead was Qin Ming, the leader of the Dongsheng Prefecture Martial Arts Alliance branch, followed by a group of his subordinates.
Even Wang Hongshen, the acting governor of Jiangnan Prefecture, rushed over.
In addition, there was the legendary physician Hu Qingniu from Guigu, accompanied by several old companions, all of whom came from Guigu.
Hu Qingniu's gaze swept across the high platform and quickly landed on a middle-aged man, his eyes instantly filled with hatred.
His old buddies beside him also noticed the middle-aged man one after another, and they all gritted their teeth, their eyes burning with anger.
This man had a beard and a round, angular face, typical of Koreans.
It was Che Haohan, the chief national doctor of South Korea, who colluded with the deputy master of Guigu Valley and seized control of the entire Guigu Valley.
If Hu Qingniu and his men hadn't run fast, they would have been killed long ago.
In his anger, one of the Guigu elders was about to rush up the platform and fight Che Haohan to the death.
But Hu Qingniu stopped him, lowering his voice to speak.
"Don't act impulsively."
"After all, this is the old eunuch's territory. We'll wait until the young master arrives before discussing anything else."
Behind them was Dongfang Sheng, dressed in a blue long gown, holding a calligraphy brush. He walked with an elegant demeanor, exuding the air of a scholar, like a schoolteacher.
Behind him followed a group of martial artists from Jiangnan Prefecture, including Ghost Servant.
The one who spoke just now was Dongfang Sheng. He immediately recognized that the woman sitting on the high platform, dressed in bridal attire, was Ye Shao's younger sister, Ye Wushuang.
How dare they make a move on Young Master Ye's sister!
That old eunuch really has the guts of a bear and the courage of a leopard.
Enraged, Dongfang Sheng was about to rush onto the stage to rescue Ye Wushuang.
But Qin Ming grabbed him from the side and said in a low voice.
"Mr. Dongfang, please don't act rashly."
"This is, after all, the old eunuch's territory. If things go wrong, both of us might lose our lives."
Dongfang Sheng said urgently.
"But we can't just stand by and watch Ye Wushuang fall into the tiger's mouth."
Qin Ming thought for a moment and then said.
"I'll go up and try first, and we'll see if it works."
After speaking, Qin Ming parted the crowd and stepped onto the high platform.
He strode up to Wei Jinzhong, took out a check from his pocket, and respectfully handed it to Wei Jinzhong with both hands, smiling.
"Greetings, Elder Wei. I am Qin Ming, the leader of the Dongsheng Prefecture Martial Arts Alliance branch. I came in a hurry and did not have time to prepare any gifts."
"This is a check for two million, presented as a birthday gift to Mr. Wei. I hope Mr. Wei will accept it with pleasure."
Wei Jinzhong didn't answer, but coldly glanced at Qin Ming and asked.
"Qin Ming, I see you've come here with a menacing air. Are you here to wish me a happy birthday, or to cause me trouble?"
An invisible pressure, like mercury spilling out, instantly enveloped the entire platform.
Everyone felt like they couldn't breathe.
It should be noted that Wei Jinzhong was originally a sixth-grade innate martial artist, a true master in the entire Great Xia Dynasty.
Qin Ming, a second-grade innate martial artist, was unable to withstand the opponent's pressure. He took two steps back, groaned, and spat out a mouthful of blood.
He covered his chest with one hand and said, forcing himself to speak.
"Mr. Wei, today is your 80th birthday, how could I dare to cause you any trouble?"
After saying that, he pointed to Ye Wushuang beside him and pleaded.
"I just hope you can release Ye Wushuang."
"After all, she is Young Master Ye's younger sister. I think Young Master Ye should be on his way here."
"If things escalate and a fuss breaks out, it'll probably make everyone look bad..."
