Chapter 51: The Wedding (2)
Wei Dong and his group came to the front of the main hall on the top of the mountain, and a vacant lot had already been demarcated in front of the hall. I saw a female general, with a golden helmet and golden armor, her left hand crossed her waist, and her right hand held a giant hammer obliquely, this person was today's bride - Hong Xiaoyun.
"Wei Dong, you come here, compete with me, win me, you can enter the door of this hall, if you lose, get down the mountain!" Hong Xiaoyun waved the giant hammer in his hand, and shouted at Wei Dong with a disgusted face.
Wei Dong and a group of disciples Du Mu looked at the bride in military uniform in a daze, and the sound of gongs and drums suddenly stopped. Look at me, I look at you, and there was no sound for a while.
Wei Dong turned his head and looked at Chen Fei, decisively shook off the hero, and jumped over. came to Hong Xiaoyun's side and arched his hand and said, "Senior Sister Hong, today is our wedding day, it's not good to use weapons?
After hearing this, Hong Xiaoyun put away the 'Regretful Sky Hammer' according to his words, and fought with Wei Dong in one step. Today is the wedding day of the two, and this fight is just a symbol. Therefore, although Hong Xiaoyun said fiercely, in fact, the two of them did not use their full strength, you come and go, like butterflies wearing flowers, which is very good-looking. After not playing much, Hong Xiaoyun withdrew from the circle with a shy face and ran back to the main hall. The sound of gongs and drums sounded again, and this time it shook the heavens and the earth.
Chen Fei handed over the hero in time, and Wei Dong looked at it with disgust after taking over, "On such a hot day, I would have worn a lot, and I had to put it on, it was like covering people", but there was no way, so I had to put it on again, and then strode into the door of the main hall.
The hall has long been furnished with a new look and splendor. Both sides were already full of guests, because the 'Giant Spirit Sect' has a special status in the Great Barbarian Country, so there are many family members and children of the official eunuchs who came today, and even His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was sent by His Majesty the Emperor to congratulate.
Wei Dong was holding one end of a red ribbon in his hand at this time, Hong Xiaoyun was holding the other end with a red lid on his head, and he slowly walked in from the door step by step. Outside the main hall, gongs and drums sounded in unison, and firecrackers were set off.
Since Wei Dong has no relatives here, his only uncle is far away in Beidi, and his father Dongfang Jing is there, but he is just a spirit, and it is inconvenient for him to come out to see many guests, so the seat in the high hall is the two people who sit on the seat of the sect master Hong and the wife of the sect master.
Wei Dong and Hong Xiaoyun were standing side by side in front of the two high halls, kowtowing and bowing······ After a series of tedious wedding ceremonies are completed, it is time for a large wedding banquet to entertain the guests. Wei Dong was held up by all the brothers to drink again, although Chen Fei stepped forward to drink very righteously, but it was a pity that he fell to the ground first due to poor drinking, and the drunk person was unconscious.
The candle night in the cave room is a great blessing in life, and the little couple lingers overnight.
In the early morning of the next day, Wei Dong and Hong Xiaoyun got up at the same time and started a day's morning exercise.
After the practice, the two of them had breakfast and went to the residence of the sect master and his wife for their daily greetings.
As soon as they entered the door, the two of them were pulled into the study by Sect Master Hong.
"Father, is there anything urgent? Because in his room, Hong Xiaoyun used to call his father.
Sect Master Hong cautiously closed the door, turned around and said softly to the young couple, "There is a secret matter to discuss with you. ”
The two glanced at each other and didn't ask any questions, just looked at Sect Master Hong and waited for him to continue talking.
"What do you think of the current situation in the court?" Although the question was addressed to the two of them, Sect Master Hong's eyes kept staring at Wei Dong.
Wei Dong scratched his head and thought for a moment, and said in a low voice, "I have not been in the Great Barbarian Country for a short time, but I have also seen some clues. ”
"Keep talking!" Sect Master Hong urged.
"Even now, His Majesty the Emperor is old and his health is declining, and he is afraid that he will not be in power for long! Although the crown prince has been established, it is difficult for the prince to win and be weak, and the strength of the second prince, Prince Rui, is too strong, I am afraid that there will be changes in the future?" Wei Dong analyzed some of the rumors he heard and saw after coming to the barbarian country.
"Good insight, the analysis is very reasonable, continue to talk!" Sect Master Hong urged again.
"Originally, our status was detached, no matter who was in power, we just had to accept the order and obey it, but after this incident of the three martial arts competitions, my mind changed!" Wei Dong shook his head and sighed lightly.
"Oh, do you have any new ideas?" Sect Master Hong looked at Wei Dong with great satisfaction.
"If it is really Prince Rui who is in power in the future, our life will not be easy, and he actually uses foreign forces to suppress his own sect, which is really despicable. "Wei Dong has been taught by Sima Bin since he was a child, and it is a compulsory course to see the current situation and analyze the general trend.
"If you were the Sect Master, what would you do?" Sect Master Hong continued to ask.
"Only by uniting with the crown prince to unite against Prince Rui, there may still be hope!" Wei Dong said his thoughts ruthlessly.
"Alas, how easy it is to say! Who caused the prince's weakness? I have been in the barbarian country for a long time, and I have long seen that it is none other than the current saint! Step by step, I will elevate Prince Rui and suppress the crown prince!" Sect Master Hong sighed.
"Why is this, since the crown prince has been established, why do you still want to suppress it?"
"This is a harem battle, don't you explore," Sect Master Hong stopped Wei Dong's question, "Now, His Majesty the Emperor has the intention of abolishing Prince Lirui!"
"Huh, how did my father-in-law find out?" Wei Dong asked in surprise, and even Hong Xiaoyun beside him was taken aback.
"Just yesterday, the crown prince was ordered to come to congratulate us, and he sent a message to us to save us!" said Sect Master Hong.
"Things have come to this point, and there is no way around it. Let's prepare for a long-term surrender first!" Wei Dong shook his head and spread his hands and said helplessly.
"What if, I don't want to bow my head to the second prince?" said Sect Master Hong fiercely.
"Father-in-law, you, you are ······" Wei Dong looked at Sect Master Hong in surprise again, because he had also thought of a way, but he didn't dare to say it.
"You must have thought of it! It's ······" Sect Master Hong's right hand spread out and went down.
"Ah!" An exclamation came from Hong Xiaoyun's mouth, and then she immediately covered her mouth.
"Father-in-law, you have figured it out!" Wei Dong asked softly.
"Well, come and see!" Sect Master Hong took out a secret letter from the drawer of his desk, shook it open, and handed it to Wei Dong.
Wei Dong took the secret letter and took a closer look, and was immediately surprised, "Father-in-law, is the content of this letter true?"
"Well, the last time General Chen came here, he was to discuss this matter with me, when I was still hesitating, now I have made up my mind!"
Wei Dong looked at the contents of the letter again: Chen was willing to betray Prince Rui and join forces with Jun to assassinate this fang.
"Burn it!" Sect Master Hong said to Wei Dong.
Wei Dong lit the secret letter with fire, and threw it into the jar next to him with a flick of his hand. I was still thinking quickly in my mind: that day, Prince Rui sent someone to blow up the Panlong Mine Cave and forced General Chen to surrender to him, and after General Chen surrendered, he abandoned Prince Rui in one turn and assassinated him instead. So did General Chen take refuge in the crown prince? The answer should be yes. But Wei Dong's intuition told him that there must still be something wrong with this. This is something that he or even Sect Master Hong doesn't know.
"Who will be sent to assassinate you?" Wei Dong said calmly as he looked at Sect Master Hong.
"I have thought about it again and again, it is most appropriate for you and Yun'er to go: first, because your skills are the highest among the disciples of my sect, and second, because you are about to enter the palace to meet the emperor, don't forget that Yun'er is the identity of the county lord! This can openly enter the capital without being suspected. Third, you can approach Prince Rui for a reason, so that it is convenient to assassinate him!" Sect Master Hong immediately said what he was thinking.
"But, father-in-law, after the assassination, if you want to track it down, it will be easy to find out!" Wei Dong asked eagerly, "The skills of the two of us are too ostentatious, and a discerning person can guess it at a glance." ”
"Don't worry, Yun'er will go with you, even if I will give you up, will I still return my daughter?" said Sect Master Hong with a frown.
"Father, don't hide it anymore at this time, tell us everything! Don't hide it anymore!" Hong Xiaoyun was also anxious beside her.
"I'm also for your good! In that case, then I'll tell you the truth, the two of you will assassinate Prince Rui, and someone else will kill His Majesty the current Emperor! Their father and son will die on the same day!" Sect Master Hong lowered his voice and said to Wei Dong and Hong Xiaoyun.
"Ahh
There were still five days left before the two of them went to the capital to meet His Majesty the Emperor, and the 'Giant Spirit Sect' had already prepared the carriage and entourage, this time escorted by Elder Chen all the way, and Chen Fei was also one of the entourage.
It generally takes three days to get from the 'Giant Spirit Sect' to the capital, and of course, when they arrive in the capital, Wei Dong and his wife have to be trained by the Ministry of Rites, and they can only enter the palace after learning the etiquette of the audience. The etiquette is very tedious, and it takes one to two days just to learn.
There was nothing to do all the way, and the team of the 'Giant Spirit Sect' came to the capital smoothly, half a day earlier than expected.
The etiquette of the Ministry of Etiquette training is not only cumbersome but also exaggerated, and Wei Dong and Hong Xiaoyun are like fools. After two full days of torture, it was finally done.
On this day, Wei Dong and his wife took a luxurious carriage to the outer gate of the palace, waiting for the announcement inside. After waiting for a long time, when the sun was about to set, a shout finally came from the face, "Hong Xiaoyun, the princess of Xuan's 'Giant Spirit' County, and Wei Dong, the princess of the county, are here!"
The husband and wife straightened the official uniforms and phoenix robes on their bodies, straightened the official hats and phoenix crowns on their heads, and then went up the stairs step by step to the palace hall.
