In Jueping City, the Ninth Prince and Princess Ji'an got married. In the capital, the Yao family's wedding banquet was held from morning to night. In addition, there was another place that was bustling all day because of the wedding of the two. That was Ji'an County, which was reborn because of Feng Yuheng's arrival!
For Ji'an County, Princess Ji'an is the soul of the county, and the people of Yuzhou also worship Feng Yuheng. The news of the princess's wedding has long been spread here. Qian Fengshou is happy for Feng Yuheng, and he has arranged the collective celebration of Yuzhou and Ji'an County early on. Firecrackers were set off early in the morning, followed by dragon and lion dances, and near noon, a wedding banquet was set up on the main street of Ji'an County.
The people who came to congratulate came from as far away as Haizhou, and they all brought gifts. Although they could not meet Feng Yuheng in person, the gifts showed their sincerity, and they felt at ease.
Qian Fengshou accepted all the gifts, but he did not put them into his own pocket. Instead, he set up a public account. After discussing with the Sixth Prince Xuan Tianfeng, the two simply made the decision for Feng Yuheng. The food and daily necessities were sent to the Ji'an County Princess's residence, and the valuable antiques and furnishings were exchanged for money at a discount. The gift money was directly added to the account. This public account was used as a donation raised by Ji'an County Princess for the people of Ji'an County and Yuzhou, specifically to help the poor people.
People highly recommended this approach, and the support for Ji'an County and Princess Ji'an became even higher after this incident.
At that time, the Sixth Prince Xuan Tianfeng did not attend the wedding banquet in the middle of the street. He was in the study room in the courtyard of Princess Ji'an's mansion, writing big "喜" characters on pieces of rice paper. There was a hint of sadness on his face, but soon, that sadness was replaced by relief. He opened his mouth softly and said to himself: "The girl who always gives people endless hope is finally married. Sixth brother wishes you happiness." After speaking, he put down his pen and wrote another "喜" character.
There are still ceremonies after the wedding, but the ceremony does not need to be completed by the master of ceremonies, but by experienced maids in the mansion who have both sons and daughters and are in good health. They let the bride and groom sit on the edge of the wedding couch, tie the corners of their robes together, pour the wedding wine, and watch them drink the wedding wine with auspicious words. Then they hold up plates of red dates, peanuts, longans, and lotus seeds, let the two of them have a bite of each, and then say auspicious words again, and it is over.
The groom does not need to lift the veil now. He needs to go out first to greet and toast the guests. The bride will sit here and wait until the wedding banquet is over and the groom returns. Only then will they enter the real bridal chamber.
Before leaving, Xuan Tianming leaned over to Feng Yuheng's ear and said, "I won't drink much, so we need to be more energetic tonight. Most of the soldiers in the camp have entered the city to attend the wedding banquet. I always feel that General Gu Shu will not miss such a good opportunity. He may launch a counterattack tonight."
Feng Yuheng was startled, and immediately nodded, saying, "Don't worry, if he dares to come, we will fight to Yueping City, and we will take Yueping City as a gift for our wedding, okay?"
Although separated by the veil, Xuan Tianming could still feel the playful look of his young lady. He couldn't help but laugh, and stretched out his hand to pinch the little face under the veil, "No woman would be as happy as you when she heard that there was a war to fight."
She also replied: "That's why I can stand by your side and be your wife."
Xuan Tianming did not stay any longer. With a smile, he turned around and left the house to go back to the front yard to meet the guests. The two maids in the wedding room were savoring the conversation between the newlyweds and were full of envy. A woman who can go to the battlefield, a woman who can say that she wants to use a city as a wedding gift, how domineering is she! In the past, everyone thought that Princess Ji'an had a good life, but they didn't know that the one who had a good life was the Ninth Prince. There is no other daughter-in-law like him in the world.
The wedding banquet in Jueping City was very grand and lively. Not only were distinguished guests from the capital present, but soldiers from the three armies also flocked to the city to celebrate. The common people in Jueping City also had a common topic to talk about because of this grand wedding.
However, the city defense was not neglected because of this. Xuan Tianming even quietly told Xuan Tiange and others that they must not go out and not leave the mansion. Although he absolutely did not believe that the ancient Shu army could break into the city, precautions could not be reduced at all. After all, the people in this mansion were all his and Feng Yuheng's closest relatives, and they were all people they desperately needed to protect.
Xuan Tiange was a royal girl after all, and was very familiar with this. As soon as her ninth brother said this, she immediately understood his intention, and even discussed with Xuan Tianhua in a low voice: "Seventh brother, if the ancient Shu people really come to attack the city tonight without knowing what's good for them, will my ninth brother and Hengheng rush directly to the ancient Shu capital in anger and take off the head of that dog emperor?"
Xuan Tianhua looked at his sister and shook his head: "How can it be so violent? If the battle between the two armies was as simple as you said, we in Dashun wouldn't have to maintain so many soldiers and horses."
"But haven't you heard of the legend of the sky thunder?" Xuan Tiange pulled Xuan Tianhua's sleeve and said excitedly: "Since entering Shaping City, I have heard that Brother Nine has a kind of sky thunder in his hand. It can kill large groups of people when it is fired. The sound is exactly the same as the thunder in the sky. The people call it sky thunder. Brother Seven, where do you think that thing came from?"
Xuan Tianhua had heard about this, but he had never asked Xuan Tianming about it. His intuition told him that the thing couldn't possibly belong to Xuan Tianming. If nothing unexpected happened, it should have been made by that girl, right? In their impression, that girl always came up with all kinds of weird things, most of which they had never even seen before.
But he didn't want to tell Xuan Tiange this. His sister was always naive. If she knew too much, she might accidentally let it slip one day. Xuan Tianhua always felt that Feng Yuheng's ability shouldn't be known to too many people. So he shook his head and said to Xuan Tiange, "People always exaggerate. I heard that it was just a large dose of gunpowder, which is similar to the principle of firecrackers! A skilled craftsman can make it. Gu Shu lost because they were not prepared and had no precautions, so they fell into the trap. Don't think that thing is magical, especially after you go back, you can't tell everyone in the capital, understand?"
Xuan Tiange nodded, "Don't worry, Seventh Brother, Tiange knows the seriousness of the matter. Uncle Huang told me a long time ago that we should know about the matter between Ninth Brother and Ah Heng, but we can't tell outsiders about it. It will easily arouse the jealousy of those who are jealous, and it will be easier to attract people with evil intentions to cause trouble for Ninth Brother."
Seeing that the girl was sensible, Xuan Tianhua finally felt relieved. However, even he himself wanted to see the thunder. It was certain that the desert would not be peaceful tonight. He just didn't know when the war would start, how capable the ancient Shu would be, and how many miles they could travel north.
The wedding banquet lasted until very late. The common people dispersed, the distinguished guests rested, but the soldiers quietly left the city under Xuan Tianming's arrangement and went to the camp to prepare for tonight's battle.
What they expected was correct. Yueping City did receive the news of Xuan Tianming's wedding, but the news arrived very slowly. Halfway through the wedding banquet, Bi Xiu and Fu Ya were still enjoying the pleasure of love on the bed in Yueping City.
Fu Ya was still a virgin when she followed Bi Xiu, but she became more and more proficient in this art under Bi Xiu's development, and even became a little obsessed. And Bi Xiu, because Fu Ya had asked him to imagine himself as Feng Yuheng in order to please him at the beginning, became addicted, and unknowingly, he was actually a little obsessed with the Ji'an Princess of Dashun. He often thought, if it was the real Ji'an Princess under him, how sexy would that be? Being able to have a woman like that is the most proud thing for a man!
Gradually, he began to indulge in a fantasy. He wanted to leave his position as the legal wife to Feng Yuheng. In the future, when that woman became his wife, she could not only accompany him on the battlefield, but also forge steel for Gu Shu, and even bring the thunderbolt to Gu Shu. With the new steel and thunderbolt, Gu Shu would no longer be afraid of Da Shun. He didn't want to help anyone, whether it was the Ninth Prince or the Eighth Prince. He would take Feng Yuheng all the way to Da Shun, straight into Kyoto, and let Gu Shu become the master of the world. Then the king of Gu Shu would regard him as a benefactor, and his family would become the first family of Gu Shu. Who dares to touch him?
With such a fantasy, Bi Xiu worked harder on Fu Ya. Although Fu Ya didn't know what this man was thinking, she could guess a little from his eyes. But she was not afraid at all. She knew the abilities of Feng Yuheng and Xuan Tianming, and she knew that Gu Shu was no match for Da Shun. She just wanted Gu Shu to be defeated quickly, and Bi Xiu could take her back to Gu Shu's capital to live a stable life. Of course, she also thought that Bi Xiu could do better and defeat Xuan Tianming, so that she could be more proud. Unfortunately, that was simply impossible.
The two of them were exercising with their own thoughts, and the bed kept creaking. Fu Ya was always worried that the bed would collapse, but Bi Xiu felt that this kind of sound was more stimulating and he never got tired of it.
Finally, the news from Jueping City reached Bi Xiu's ears. When the deputy general passed the message through the door, even Fu Ya was stunned, and then she realized that the Ninth Prince had said that he would marry Feng Yuheng when she reached the age of marriage. This man really kept his word. She felt a little melancholy, but immediately came to her senses. Times have changed, and she is no longer the Fu Ya she used to be. It's better not to think about those things, so as not to be seen by Bi Xiu and lose her life.
As a general, Bi Xiu didn't think about such a small matter in bed all day long. When he heard that Xuan Tianming, Feng Yuheng and all the soldiers of Dashun were drinking in Jueping City, he immediately realized that this was the best time to counterattack. What if there is a thunder? I will block you all in the city, and kill you back to Jueping City when you are drunk and can't tell east from west. Xuan Tianming, this time, you can't run away!
Bi Xiu laughed loudly and immediately ordered his men to call for troops. At the same time, he also said loudly what was in his heart: "Leave that Princess Ji An to me. She must be captured alive!"
