Chapter 641 The mantis stalks the cicada
"I see!"
Zhang Xuetao responded silently, then turned his head to the outside of the car, looking at the bustling streets outside at night, wondering what he was thinking.
After everyone from the Zhang family had left, Lianyi went to see Duan Zongqing in high spirits.
"Father, I have already given in and agreed to reconcile with Zhang Xuetao."
"Well, that old fox Zhang Fenglin has sent Yun Siyu to his house. I have had her locked up. Let's see how you deal with her."
"Don't worry, there will be a chance for her to appear."
"Lian Yi, what are you going to do next?"
"Zhang Xuetao came to me and acted pitiful, showed weakness, made promises, and swore, just to marry me, but I didn't see a trace of love or regret in his eyes, only his cruel calculations. In this case, I will fulfill his wish and see who is more powerful in the end."
Ripple said lightly.
"I've long seen that he has no remorse at all. He only admitted his mistake to me in person because of the pressure from Zhang Fenglin."
Duan Zongqing shook his head.
"Father, have the people you sent to the north arrived?"
"It was just a good time difference. Zhang Fenglin came here to clean up the mess for his son, and Duan Cheng had already gone there with his men."
"That's good!"
"Zhang Fenglin is afraid that things will get complicated if the night goes on, so he wants to arrange your marriage with his son as soon as possible."
"No problem, father. You can keep Zhang Fenglin here on the pretext of arranging the wedding so that our people can take over the various fortresses in the north as soon as possible. The two commanders of the Zhang family are both here. Without someone who can really make the decision, the family is a mess, which is convenient for our people to act."
Lianyi touched her bracelet and said with a smile.
"I understand. We will gradually send troops there to try to peacefully take over the northern troops."
The next day, Zhang Fenglin brought Zhang Xuetao to the Marshal's Mansion again and brought up the marriage of the two children. This time, Duan Zongqing agreed.
"Brother Zhang, I don't want to be laughed at by others, and I don't want people with ulterior motives to sow discord between you and me. Lianyi came to me last night and she said she had forgiven Xuetao. Let's do what you said!"
"Well, Lianyi is a girl who knows the big picture. She is nothing like those mediocre girls."
Zhang Fenglin started to criticize them in front of the two of them.
"But getting married is not a trivial matter, and time is so tight. Brother Zhang, you have to stay here and help. After the two little ones' weddings are over, I can go back to the north with you. What do you think?"
Duan Zongqing asked.
"Of course! We can't let Lianyi down even if we are pressed for time. We have to do a good job with the wedding. I'll be more at ease here! They are just little kids who don't know anything. In the end, we have to do it together."
Zhang Fenglin said with a smile.
After the matter was settled, Zhang Xuetao often went in and out of Marshal Duan's mansion, and accompanied Lianyi to go shopping every day. He was responsible for paying the money and carrying the bags, and made sure to make Lianyi happy.
On the day before the wedding, Zhang Xuetao went to the Marshal's Mansion specially and proposed to Lianyi solemnly. He gave her a ring made of pigeon blood gemstone, set off fireworks, and sang love songs. In short, the proposal ceremony was very romantic, and everyone in the Marshal's Mansion went to watch the fun.
No one cared that Zhang Xuetao's men sneaked into the garage of the Marshal's Mansion.
Lianyi was very cooperative with Zhang Xuetao who was putting on a big show in front of her. After putting on the pigeon blood ring, she even went to the cell to show off in front of Yun Siyu before going to bed peacefully.
The next day, Marshal Duan's residence was decorated with lights and colors, exuding a festive atmosphere everywhere. Everyone was busy preparing the young lady's dowry.
The Zhang family mansion on the other side was also all red. Zhang Fenglin saw that the time was almost up, so he said to his son:
"It's almost time. Go pick up the bride first. I'll wait for you at Baoli Hotel. Don't delay the auspicious time."
"I'm leaving now."
Zhang Xuetao was wearing a dark blue military uniform today and a pair of black boots. He looked energetic, handsome and tall. Anyone who saw him would say that he was handsome.
Zhang Xuetao got on the car with a smile on his face, but the smile did not reach his eyes. He whispered to the people around him:
"Is everything done?"
"Don't worry, Marshal, it's all done!"
"Didn't it attract the attention of the people in Marshal Duan's residence?"
"No!"
"Wait until I pick up the people and arrive at the entrance of Baoli Hotel. Keep some distance between our car and the bride's car. Don't get too close!"
"yes!"
"Is the sniper ready?"
“Ready!”
"At that time, take action at the same time and don't miss the best opportunity."
"yes!"
"Set off!"
Following Zhang Xuetao's order, black cars tied with red ribbons drove one after another towards Marshal Duan's mansion.
When Zhang Xuetao and his men arrived at the gate of the Marshal's Mansion, they were blocked outside the door. The groom was forced to compose a poem praising the bride before he was allowed to enter. The people watching around were watching with great interest and picked up wedding candies and cakes. This kind of grand scene is not often seen.
Zhang Xuetao led his men through many difficulties and finally arrived at the yard where Lianyi was. He was forced to drink three glasses of wine before he could successfully meet his bride.
Lianyi is getting married today. She is wearing a bright red wedding dress with a golden phoenix spreading its wings. She looks so bright and charming that Zhang Xuetao secretly sighs that it is a pity. Then he holds Lianyi's hand affectionately and goes to say goodbye to Duan Zongqing.
Duan Zongqing also had to go to Baoli Hotel to meet Zhang Fenglin. The wedding ceremony was held there and all the guests were invited there.
Lianyi held Duan Zongqing's arm and made a reluctant expression. Zhang Xuetao immediately said with understanding:
"Uncle, why don't you and Lianyi take a car and go directly to Baoli Hotel. I'll lead the way. When we get there, I'll pick Lianyi up and go in together. It'll be a good opportunity for you and your daughter to have a chat."
"Is it really possible?"
Ripple asked in surprise.
"Why not?"
Zhang Xuetao said with a smile.
"Father!"
"Okay, I'll take you there myself."
Duan Zongqing didn't object and got into his car with his daughter. Zhang Xuetao diligently helped them close the door and then turned around and got into his own car.
The convoy circled Marshal Duan's residence before arriving at the Baoli Hotel. Someone had already gone to inform Zhang Fenglin that the father and daughter of the Duan family had arrived together.
He straightened his suit and took his people to the door to greet them. The entrance and surroundings of Baoli Hotel were filled with soldiers from the Duan family and the Zhang family, who protected the entire hotel tightly to prevent anyone from causing trouble.
After the convoy stopped, Zhang Xuetao's bodyguards just opened the car door and heard a loud "boom". Black cars exploded one after another and were thrown into the air. Then gunshots and screams rang out, and the whole street immediately fell into chaos.
The onlookers were frightened and fled in all directions, and the entire Baoli Hotel became a battlefield.
In Marshal Duan's mansion, the four concubines gathered together to pray, and then a group of soldiers rushed in, pointed their guns at Chunxiao and said:
"Excuse me, take us to the cell!"
My dears, Feng Ling is going through a tribulation today, and her waist is about to break, so I have only written four chapters. Please accept them. See you tomorrow.
