3. The jade tiles are broken
At dusk, the convoy of ink cars to welcome relatives has returned to Yanfu, and the guests from all over the world are still arriving one after another, the car and riding team blocked the passage of the alley, and the noise of people and horses is endless.
Inside the jubilant mansion, the lights illuminate the inside and out. The banquet was full of guests, all kinds of congratulatory gifts were piled up into a small mountain, and all kinds of slaves and maids ran back and forth, presenting delicious food and wine for the guests to enjoy.
Among the guests present, in addition to many parents and children with the old surname of Guanzhong, there are also a number of high-ranking officials such as Jingzhao Taishou Yan Zhu, Ji Shu Zuo Fu Gan, Literary Peng You Chu, Cao Peng Shi Fazheng, Meng Da, Yan Gan, Li Yi, Ma Jun, Yang Fu, Yan Wen, etc., and even the hussar general Yan Xing, all sent their younger brother Yan Gui to participate in the wedding banquet on their behalf and sent corresponding congratulatory gifts.
If it were Yan Xiang alone, he would never have invited so many illustrious guests. But because Yan Xiang is the leading talent of the Duling Yan clan, and now the first person in the Hussar General Shogunate, Yan Zhu, is also from the Duling Yan clan, with this layer of relationship, coupled with the relationship network of the Pingling He clan and the Duling Yan clan in Guanzhong, this is the lively scene of today's guests.
When they saw so many illustrious guests here, many of the guests who came to the door were even secretly guessing that after the marriage of the Gaomen clan, the careers of the Yan and He families, as the biggest beneficiaries, would go to the next level.
The newlyweds who tie the knot in the back hall also need to carry out the wedding ceremony links such as wo yu, the same prison, and the new wedding ceremony, the front hall full of friends has been feasted, and the banquet has been extended from the front hall to the courtyard, and the wedding music and bamboo sound of the wedding music in the hall echo, and the guests during the banquet are arrogance, pushing the cup and changing the lamp, and the wedding music and laughter are intertwined.
Suddenly, a scream came from the back hall, and then several servant maids who were waiting in the back hall ran out of the ground with rolling belts, shouting:
"There are assassins!"
"Quick, come on, catch the assassin!"
As soon as these words came out, everyone was shocked. The guests present were officials who had been in the world for a long time, and their faces also changed greatly, and they hurriedly stood up and looked at the back hall with their eyes.
···
Inside the back hall.
At this time, the candlestick on the table was toppled over, the cups and plates were in disarray, millet, millet, meat, and sauce were sprinkled on the ground, the fan where the bride was hiding her face was gone, and Yan Xiang, dressed in the bride's dress, was kicked to the ground and groaned in pain.
Ma Chao, who pretended to be a guest and infiltrated the Yan Mansion, stood with a sword in the dim back hall, his sharp eyes were like the cold glow of the long sword in his hand, he glanced at Yan Xiang who fell to the ground, and then turned his head to look at He E, who was dressed up.
He E, who is married today, is more beautiful than usual.
The tortoiseshell on the head, the step is shining, the smooth and fair face, the cheeks are made of peach blossoms, the autumn waves of flowing water, the delicate nose, the lips are like a golden pill, and the ears are decorated with pearls.
A look of pain flashed in Ma Chao's eyes, and he slowly walked towards He E in front of the Red Luo Tent with his sword.
"You're here after all, your legs—"
He E laughed miserably and noticed Ma Chao's left leg, which was moving a little abnormally.
"Hehe" Ma Chao looked down at his lame leg, sneered, his face turned cold, and he raised his sword and stabbed at He E's pink neck.
Blood! Red blood.
The sharp blade easily cut through the smooth skin, and blood spilled on He E's dress.
But this sword, after all, still did not pierce down.
He E was not smiling or crying on her face, the wound on her neck seemed to have no feeling for her, she slowly took out the Qiang flute from her sleeve and reached out and handed it to Ma Chao.
"Kill me and find a good woman!"
Seeing the Qiang flute in He E's hand, the anger in Ma Chao's eyes ignited again, he snatched the Qiang flute, threw it out of the window fiercely, and yelled in his mouth:
"Die, at this time, it's too late!"
"Meng Qi."
He E still wanted to speak, but was pushed down by Ma Chao, he turned around, and pointed at Yan Xiang, who had quietly struggled to stand up.
"You, you're Ma Chao?"
Yan Xiang, who originally wanted to escape outside the hall, looked at Ma Chao who looked like an angry beast, and was angry and scared in his heart, he was neither willing to bow to Ma Chao, nor dare to further provoke Ma Chao, so he could only puse on the spot and said in a trembling voice, hoping to delay time and save his life.
At this time, many guests and strong servants had already rushed to follow the sound, and some people who rushed into the back hall also recognized Ma Chao, although they didn't know what was going on, they still shouted fiercely:
"Ma Chao, don't be presumptuous!"
"Abandon the sword!"
Seeing that he had relied on, Yan Xiang's waist facing the sword blade straightened again, and his voice raised a little higher as he endured the humiliation.
"Ma Mengqi, you are making such a fuss today, you can't escape, give up your sword and bind yourself!"
"Hahaha-"
Ma Chao laughed when he heard this, and with a sword in his hand, he stabbed a strong servant who was the first to pounce to the ground, he moved the blade of the sword, pointed at the guests and servants who did not dare to come forward and sneered:
"I'm in the midst of ten thousand armies, and it's not a problem to break the army, and these people also want to stop me. Today's matter is between me and this man and woman, and if you want to die a few more, take a bold step. ”
"Ma Chao, you deceive people too much...
Seeing that the evil Ma Chao was so rampant, the guests scolded and blamed one after another, but after all, no one dared to take a step.
"Ma Chao, you-"
Yan Xiang, who couldn't get out, also realized that something was wrong, but before everyone, how could he, who had already suffered great shame, beg for mercy in a low voice, and could only point at Ma Chao with a halberd, and he was ashamed and angry and speechless.
Ma Chao looked at Yan Xiang who was in distress again, and spoke again:
"Yan Xiang, if you want to take away this woman, you have to fight a duel with me today, and you won't die!"
"You-"
Yan Xiang, who continued the string, regretted his intestines at this time, he knew that this Ma Chao was such an arrogant and fierce character, how could he have a relationship with the Pingling He family, and now he is on fire, and he will lose all his face on the day of the wedding.
"Why, you don't dare?"
Ma Chao looked at Yan Xiang and asked with a sneer, and with a flick of his hand, he threw the other sword in the hall at Yan Xiang's feet.
Yan Xiang looked down at the saber on the tip of his toes, his eyes moved, but he didn't bend down.
"If you don't hold the sword yet, I'll take out the sword!"
Ma Chao pressed forward step by step, and at the same time stabbed a sword mercilessly.
Ahh
In the exclamation of many guests, the already embarrassed Yan Xiang's high crown of hair was picked up by Ma Chao with a sword, and Yan Xiang, whose hair was spread out, was instantly distributed, looking so embarrassed.
At the same time, Ma Chao's sword turned and stabbed a slave who was eager to protect the master and pounced on him.
This time the sword in his hand showed no mercy, and the slave was hit in the thigh and fell to the ground on the spot, blood gushing out, and he cried out in pain as he stained the blood.
"Ah, Ma Chao, I'll fight with you!"
Finally, Yan Xiang, who was embarrassed and angry in front of people, seemed to be driven crazy in public, he frantically grabbed the sword in his hand, and made a gesture to pounce on Ma Chao.
It's just that in the next moment, Yan Xiang, who was scattered from his head, unexpectedly regained his composure, he threw the sword in his hand at Ma Chao, and turned around to flee.
It's a pity that Ma Chao, who is excellent in martial arts, was deceived by Yan Xiang.
In his sneer, Yan Xiang's thrown sword was picked off, and before Yan Xiang, who turned around, could flee, he was stabbed in the thigh by a sword that followed, and fell to the ground miserably, groaning in pain.
"Hahaha." Ma Chao arrogantly raised his leg and stepped on Yan Xiang's back, and scolded with a contemptuous smile:
"Old dog, I was going to kill you today. But if you want the He family to break the contract, you have to spread them out, and you have to marry a woman with a heart like a femme fatale, which is miserable enough, so spare your life! ”
After finishing speaking, Ma Chao glanced at He E who fell to the ground again, put away his sneer, came out with his sword, and rushed towards the crowd quickly.
When everyone saw Ma Chao rushing over, they exclaimed again and again, and immediately retreated to both sides.
Yan Xiang is the home of the scholars, although there are many slaves in the house, but there is no good fighting family soldiers, many guests are also afraid of Ma Chao's ferocity, no one dares to come forward to intercept it, so he rushed out of the house with a sword.
"Catch up with Ma Chao, don't let this shaft escape!"
Seeing that Ma Chao, who was rampant today, rushed out of the house and galloped away on horseback, many guests reacted again, spoke loudly, and panicked to call others to chase after him.
"Don't chase it!"
Yan Zhi, whose face was full of iron, shouted loudly, shocking the audience, and the others who wanted to catch up also stopped in their tracks.
Being so troubled by Ma Chao today not only ruined a couple who were a natural couple in the eyes of everyone, but also greatly damaged the family reputation of the Duling Yan family and the Pingling He family, and even humiliated the old surname of Guanzhong, and even every guest at the banquet.
Ma Chao caused such a catastrophe, and he couldn't escape it.
"Chang'an City is the shogunate's residence and the place of the rule of law, if he Ma Chao can't put on his wings today, he will definitely not be able to escape if he goes south and Hu Di in the north!"
Yan Zhi said loudly, and he looked at Yan Gui on the side again.
"Ma Chao is a new military captain, a lieutenant general in the army, and his rank is not low, this matter is very important, now I want to show the general, Zhengdu, go with me quickly!"
"No."
Yan Gui hurriedly replied.
"Fu Shuzuo, You Cao Peng, the two of you also saw Ma Chao doing evil and rampant with your own eyes, so let's go together."
Fu Gan and You Chu looked at each other when they heard this, a wry smile appeared on their faces, they didn't dare to be resentful, and they could only nod their heads in agreement.
After Yan Zhi ordered Yan, Fu, and You to go with them, his face softened slightly.
Looking around, at this time, the slaves and maids hurriedly found a doctor, and helped the injured newlyweds into the room for medical treatment, and the slaves who were wailing in the sword were also carried down, and the disturbing guests gradually receded like a tide after this farce, leaving only a few pools of blood in the back hall in an instant.
Looking at this scene, there is still the joy of the previous high friends and good marriage.
Yan Xiang, the leading talent of the Duling Yan family, is almost at the end of his career.
When Yan Zhu thought of this, his brows furrowed again, he glanced at everyone a few times, and shook the sleeves of his new robe.
"Let's go, let's go to the general together!"
