Chapter Seventy-One: The Wedding of Wuji
The next day, Fei Wuji's mansion, dressed in red and hanging colors, treasure candles and smoke, the aroma of Qiong feast, drums and music, guests from all walks of life came one after another, bustling, both the ministers of the Chu State and the central government, and the heroes from all walks of life on the rivers and lakes, it was not lively for a while.
On the order of King Chuping, Nangwa sent a pair of jade pendants, white as fat, crystal warm and moist, Fei Wuji thanked King Chu. Then he listened: "The auspicious time has come, and the bride and groom worship heaven and earth." The drums sounded in unison, and the bride Kong Wan'er wore a red wedding robe and a red hijab, and was led out of the inner hall by a maid and handed a red cloth to Fei Wuji. The master of ceremonies shouted again: "Bow to ......" Before the word "heaven and earth" was spoken, he suddenly heard a long roar outside the gate: "You can't get married!" All the guests looked at the gate in surprise, and the hall was silent for a while. But as the sound of footsteps approached, a man in black appeared in front of everyone, and saw that the man's clothes were worn and full of dirt; Unkempt hair, unwashed for a long time; Looking at this person's face beyond recognition, it was all burn scars, no longer human, it was very terrifying, the dignitaries and nobles present only looked at it once, and they didn't dare to look at it again at the second glance.
Zhan Wuxian saw this person in Caicheng, and said in his heart: "Why did this mysterious man in black appear in Yingdu, and why did he stop this wedding?" Fei Wuji glanced at the man in black lightly, and secretly lucked his true qi in case of accidents. When Kong Wan'er heard the voice, she knew that something was wrong, she lifted her hijab, and when she saw the man in black, she immediately hated her slightly, and she was angry in her heart, and she didn't know what to do, so she said in her heart: 'Why is this man in black embarrassed me everywhere. He looked up at Fei Wuji unnaturally, expecting him to settle the matter.
I only heard the man in black say in a hoarse voice: "Childe, you can't marry Fei Wuji." When everyone heard this, they all looked at Kong Wan'er and Fei Wuji together. Kong Wan'er looked dazed, while Fei Wuji frowned.
The man in black said again: "Childe, Fei Wuji is your father-killing enemy. As soon as these words came out, everyone was stunned, and Kong Wan'er couldn't believe her ears. Kong Xuan died unexpectedly, and everyone in the world knew that it was Gongzi who defeated the enemy and the corpse beast pawn, and now the man in black said that it was Fei Wuji.
The man in black continued: "In front of all the heroes in the world, I will tell the truth, and if I don't say it, I'm afraid I won't have a chance." I am Wei Chong. Everyone was shocked when they heard this, Wei Chong's name was known to most of the people present that he was the first guard of the Confucian family of Wei Guo back then.
Wei Chong continued: "Three years ago, in order to snatch the Chengying Sword, Gongzi destroyed the Confucian Mansion with a fire, and at the moment of great danger, Master Kong took the Chengying Sword and hid in the Confucian Hidden Sword Pavilion. Because the Chengying Sword is also good and evil, when it is right, it is right, and when it is evil, it is evil. Master Kong was afraid that the Chengying Sword would fall into the hands of Childe's strike, and he previously stated that he would give the Chengying Sword to someone who could defeat Childe's strike, and everyone knew that this person was none other than Mr. Zhan Wuxian. Everyone present in this matter knows that Kong Xuan did say so, it was Zhan Wuxian who defeated Gongzi for the first time when he went out of the mountain, but later the Chengying Sword fell into the hands of Fei Wuji, and everyone was still suspicious at first, and later saw that Kong Xuan's daughter Kong Wan'er was close to Fei Wuji, so they all thought that Kong Xuan gave the Chengying Sword to Fei Wuji as a dowry. At this time, everyone first looked at Zhan Wuxian and then at Fei Wuji.
Fei Wuji heard this, and secretly had a bad heart, he was afraid that after Mr. Zhan defeated Gongzi and defeated the enemy, Master Kong would give Mr. Zhan the Chengying Sword. Therefore, in the Hidden Sword Pavilion, Fei Wuji took advantage of Lord Kong's unpreparedness to kill Master Kong, seized the Chengying Sword, and burned down the Hidden Sword Pavilion, creating the illusion that the prince had defeated the enemy. At that time, I was outside the gate of the Hidden Sword Pavilion, watching all of this. Wei Chong finished speaking in one breath and looked at the people present, hoping that they would believe that what he said was true.
"According to what you said, why didn't you expose Fei Wuji at that time?" Ava asked maliciously
"It's because I know I'm no match for Fei Wuji. At that time, if I escaped, I would be discovered by Fei Wuji; If you go to fight with him, you will definitely be killed by him, then Master Kong's revenge will always sink into the sea and will never be avenged, and the people of the world will not know that Fei Wuji is an ungrateful hypocrite who is ungrateful and unavoidable. Fei Wuji killed Master Kong, seized the Chengying Sword and burned the Hidden Sword Pavilion, just as a purlin burned and fell, I was afraid that Fei Wuji would find out that he was killing people, so I lay under the burning purlin and was stoned to death, so that the fire burned all over my body and I didn't dare to move. Wei Chong pointed at Fei Wuji and said, "Fei Wuji, did you find a burning corpse when you came out of the Sword Pavilion, that is my Wei Chong." After Wei Chong finished speaking, everyone began to talk about each other. Some say that Wei Chong is pitiful, some say that Fei Wuji is cruel, and some say that it is a pity that Kong Xuan died.
After hearing this, Fei Wuji was not excited, nor did he pay attention to other people's discussions, but said lightly: "What nonsense, you said that I killed Master Kong, what evidence do you have?" Heroes all over the world know that Master Kong has promised his daughter Kong Wan'er to me, and the Chengying Sword is the dowry. Would I have killed my future father-in-law for the sake of the Shadow Sword in my possession? After listening to Fei Wuji's words, everyone nodded again, thinking that what Fei Wuji said made sense, and that Wei Chong was here to make trouble.
Fei Wuji said again: "You say you are Wei Chong, how can you prove that you are Wei Chong?" ”
"Haha......" Wei Chong pulled out his long sword violently and said, "This sword can prove that I am Wei Chong." He asked Kong Wan'er again: "Childe, do you know this sword?" ”
When Kong Wan'er saw the sword, her mind was dizzy, she stumbled, and almost fell. Fortunately, Mo Wuqian was not far from her, hurried over, and helped Kong Wan'er. That sword is Wei Chong's sword, and there is no doubt that that person is Wei Chong.
Fei Wuji looked at Kong Wan'er and asked lightly, "Wan'er, do you believe what this person said?" ”
At this time, Kong Wan'er's brain was blank, the world was spinning, everything in front of her was so blurry, and she couldn't hear any other sounds in her ears except for the buzzing sound. She subconsciously shook her head, not knowing whether she believed all this, or whether she didn't believe this person. But people all heard Fei Wuji's question, and they also saw Kong Wan'er shaking her head.
Wei Chong didn't feel strange about all this, he smiled instead, and said: "Fei Wuji, I knew you wouldn't admit it, so I disfigured and swallowed carbon, making my own people not like people, ghosts like ghosts, and I couldn't assassinate you a few times." Today, in front of all the heroes, I can only prove to the truth with my death. As soon as the words fell, Wei Chong pulled out his long sword and killed himself.
Due to the suddenness of the incident, everyone present was still thinking about who was telling the truth and who killed Kong Xuan, and saw Wei Chong falling in a pool of blood. At this time, Kong Wan'er had already cried into tears, and when she saw Wei Chong killing herself, she stood there motionless. Kong Wan'er felt that the figure in front of her swayed, a burst of white, a burst of black, and a burst of red. I don't know how long it took, the figure disappeared, the surroundings were quiet, and she was left alone.
Kong Wan'er walked over slowly, hugged Wei Chong, who was covered in blood, and cried: "Wei Chong, Wei Chong......" She didn't dare to ask who killed her father, she was afraid that she would not be able to accept the truth of the matter, she would rather believe that it was Gongzi who killed his father.
"Sister, get up." It was Mo Wujun's voice.
Kong Wan'er stood up and saw that there were only Zhan Wuxian and Mo Wuya. Kong Wan'er said: "Brother Zhan, Sister Mo, please help me ...... Wei Chong's body" and then Kong Wan'er couldn't speak.
Mo Wuqian said: "Sister, don't worry, we will take Wei Chong's body away, where are you going?" I'll send you with a shirtless. ”
"I don't know." Kong Wan'er said, her eyes a little dull: "I want to go out for a walk alone." ”
Kong Wan'er walked alone on the streets of Yingdu, always cool, empty, she didn't know where to go, she walked aimlessly almost every street in Yingdu, and finally stopped in front of Fei Wuji's mansion, how familiar it was here, and how strange it was now.
Kong Wan'er was hesitating whether she should push the door open. A day ago, she was still living here, almost marrying Fei Wuji, and a day later it was so deserted that there was no one here. The red lantern in front of the door was dim and crumbling. Yesterday it was a vivid red, but today it has almost turned gray, and yesterday's hustle and bustle came to an abrupt end, so suddenly, so without warning. Kong Wan'er didn't want to accept it, but she had to accept it.
"Wei Chong died, but he said that his father was killed by Fei Wuji, is this true? No, it's not true, Brother Fei likes me, how could he kill my father? That was his future father-in-law. But why did Wei Chong frame Brother Fei? They don't have any grudges, is what Wei Chong said the truth? No, no...... I think that Brother Fei was injured and lived in my house at that time, I took good care of her, he took care of me in every way, told me stories, and saved my life under the claws of the corpse beast, how could Brother Fei kill my father? Is it for the Shadow Sword? No, Brother Fei said that his father would give him the Chengying Sword as a dowry, and Brother Fei would not kill his father for the Chengying Sword. But what if it was him, how should I face him, should I kill him with my own hands......? No, no, if it's really Big Brother Fei, then why does he still marry me. Kong Wan'er was full of thoughts, she didn't dare to think about it anymore, she preferred to believe that none of this was real, and all that happened was a dream.
Kong Wan'er was lonely and helpless at this time, she looked at the door, how she hoped that the door on the other side would be opened, and the person she expected would appear, reach out to her, let her in, and end everything that was "unreal".
At some point, Kong Wan'er was soaked, and it rained heavily in the gloomy sky, and the raindrops stabbed her heart like sharp arrows. The rain and tears were intertwined, and Kong Wan'er didn't wait for Fei Wuji to open the door. She lost her home and wandered to the reckless land of Qin in the west, and by chance, she returned to the Central Plains, returned to the eldest brother she missed, and thought that she would live a happy life, but now someone told her that Fei Wuji was her father-killing enemy, and destroyed everything for her in an instant. "No, the door is still there, and my happiness is still there."
Kong Wan'er walked to the door in the rain.
Seven days later, on a barren mountain northeast of Yingdu, Kong Wan'er buried Wei Chong, with no tombstone, no name, and only a few stones piled up in front of a small grave. In the past seven days, Kong Wan'er has been guarding Wei Chong's body in this barren mountain, but every day the mother-in-law in Fei Wuji's mansion comes to deliver a meal. On the day of the burial, only Zhan Wuxian, Mo Wuya and Wu Zixu came. Others, whether they were people in the rivers and lakes who were familiar with Wei Chong before his death, or officials and eunuchs who were familiar with Kong Xuan, avoided them. Now, Fei Wuji is a popular person in front of King Chuping, and his martial arts skills are very good, no one dares to offend him.
The mountain wind is cold, the twilight is vast, and the remnant sun is gradually disappearing in the western mountains. Kong Wan'er's eyes were red and swollen, tears welled up in her eyes, and she said to herself as if she was talking to Zhan Wuxian and Mo Wuya: "I don't believe that Brother Fei killed my father, I don't believe it, do you believe it?" Zhan Wuxian and Mo Wuya glanced at each other, not knowing what to say, and they didn't want what Wei Chong said to be true.
After a while, Mo Wuya said, "Sister-in-law, what are your plans in the future?" Actually, he wanted to say that he wanted to go back to find Fei Wuji, but something like that happened, and Mo Wuqian didn't say it.
Kong Wan'er said: "Sister doesn't have to call me like that, I and Brother Fei haven't worshiped heaven and earth yet, so we don't count as married." She paused and said, "I'm homeless, where can I go?" Where have I been? The implication is that she can only go back to find Fei Wuji.
Fen Yang heard Kong Wan'er's desolate words, and immediately felt compassion, and said: "Childe wants to open some, if Childe doesn't give up, you can come to my house to live temporarily." ”
Kong Wan'er said: "Thank you, son, I have my own place to go." After speaking, he stood up and walked towards Yingdu.
Outside the gate of Yingdu City, Fen Yang saw Zhan Wuxian: "The king ordered me to wait for Mr. Zhan, let me take Mr. to Yunmengze, and the two masters of Gan Jiang and Mo Ye are already waiting for Mr. in Yunmengze, when we will leave and ask Mr. to decide." Because Wei Chong made a big fuss about Fei Wuji's wedding, Zhan Wuxian didn't want to stay in Yingdu anymore, he wanted to go to Fei Wuji to say goodbye, but he didn't know what to say after meeting, how could outsiders explain the relationship between the two people, it was better not to go. So Zhan Wuxian said: "I'll go back and pack up the things that are applied, and we'll set off immediately." ”
On the way back to Wufu, Zhan Wuxian asked Fen Yang: "Have you seen Senior Brother Fei in the past few days?" Fen Yang replied: "The day before yesterday, the king summoned Fei Shaofu into the palace, saying that the prince had reached adulthood, and sent Fei Shaofu to Qin to welcome his relatives, and he had set off to Qin yesterday. ”
Mo Wuya said: "I saw Kong Wan'er going to Yingdu, she must have gone to find Fei Wuji, so isn't she going to pounce into the air?" Zhan Wuxian sighed and only said, "Let's go back first." ”
Zhan Wuxian and the others returned to Wufu, packed up the things they used, and then marched towards Yunmengze with Fenyang. Before leaving, Wu Zixu prepared a cart of food and clothing and a box of coins to give to Zhan Wuxian. Zhan Wuxian looked at it and said: "I am refining swords in the deep mountains, and I don't need money, I will accept these things for food and clothing, and the coin brothers will take them back." Wu Zixu thought about it, so he asked someone to get the coins back and sent the Zhan shirtless couple to Yunmengze with Fenyang.
Coming to Yunmengze not far away, Fen Yang stopped and said: "The king has an order, just ask the villain to send Mr. Dao Xingyuan, and no one else is allowed to enter Xingyuan." "In that case, let's leave it at that." Zhan Wuxian said: "I have something to ask the two of you for help, Wei Chong's death Kong Wan'er son was deeply hit, and now I don't know where to go, I am afraid that she will be bitter and hateful, and she can't think about it for a while, and do something unexpected." During this time, my senior brother is going to Qin State on an errand again, and I want to ask the two of you to return to Yingdu, find Kong Wan'er's son, and take more care of her. I would like to thank you in advance. ”
"I will." Fen Yang arched his hand, even if Zhan Wuxian didn't say that he would. Wu Zixu didn't speak, he secretly felt in his heart that it was best not to have too much contact with Fei Wuji.
