Chapter Twenty-Three: Born Out of Thin Air

Everyone was taken aback, but when they looked at it, it was a young man in white, about twenty years old, who seemed to be on par with Shen Ruo. Looks like a complete picture, dragon eyebrows and phoenix eyes, heroic posture, graceful, eyes flashing with kindness and intelligence, holding a clear spirit sword, white scarves and white clothes are extremely calm on the bright red wedding platform, and Shen Ruoliao, who is dressed in red, is in stark contrast, as if it is an immortal who has fallen from the mortal world from the heavy snow, the elf of snow and wind.

Shen Ruoyu looked at this handsome young man, and only felt that his heart was jumping; He seemed to have seen this person somewhere, but he couldn't remember it for a while, only that the face was so familiar and kind, as if it was a brother who had been reunited after a long absence.

The young man stood still, looked directly at Shen Ruoliao, and said clearly:

"Shen Rufeng's only son, I heard that he is also a master in the world, but I don't know if Your Excellency is the same as Ling Zun back then, invincible in the world? I'm going to compare myself with you, but I don't know if you're willing to appreciate your face? ”

Shen Ruoyu was inexplicably surprised. He raised his hand, saluted, and replied politely:

"I'm not qualified to appreciate faces, I just answer orders. Dare to ask your Excellency's surname? ”

The young man smiled, "When I win, it's not too late to tell you." If I lose, wouldn't it be too shameful to let you know my name. I have a condition to compete with you. If I win, I'm going to win. ”

Shen Ruoyu was very fresh and said with a smile: "That's nature; I just don't know what you mean by the jackpot? ”

The young man said: "I'm afraid you can't afford it; Still, I have to. I want your bride. ”

Shen Ruoyu was slightly stunned and didn't hear clearly.

"What?"

"I want His Royal Highness, who is dressed in scarlet over there," said the young man clearly, "I love her, and I have never seen a more beautiful girl than her." If I win, I want her to be my wife. ”

Shen Ruoyu glanced back at Nangong Qiu in surprise, but was even more surprised to see that she had lifted her hijab and was standing there looking at this side dumbfounded. He shouted:

"Qiu'er! - Put the hijab on! ”

Nangong Qiu came back to his senses, stuck out his tongue, hurriedly covered his hijab, and sat down.

Shen Ruoyu said coldly: "This is impossible; She's already my wife. We've already worshipped. ”

The young man was unimpressed: "I saw you worshipping the church." But isn't there no cave yet? Even if it's already a cave house, I'm still going to grab it with you. ”

This is an open fire stubbornly robbing someone else's daughter-in-law - in the entire Duanlimen Square, everyone was stunned, thinking that there was something wrong with their eyes and ears.

Shen Ruoyu asked incredulously: "Dare to ask where Your Excellency comes from and where does the teacher come from?" Looking at your appearance in Han costume, how can you have the custom of snatching marriage? ”

The young man said, "I am Han, and my master is also Han. However, this has nothing to do with my desire to marry His Royal Highness the County Lord. Good birds choose trees to perch, and even if His Royal Highness the county lord marries, he has the right to choose. ”

Shen Ruoyu felt that her brain was no longer enough. He had never thought that there would be such a thing in the world--it was not uncommon to rob someone else's daughter-in-law, but it seemed that he had never seen such a blatant and justified person, in front of thousands of people, in front of his parents, at a wedding--I am afraid that it was the last time in the past, and he should be allowed to run into it-

Shen Ruoyu said: "Since you think that she has the right to choose; You forcibly tried to snatch her, and why did you ask her what she meant? ”

The boy said, "If she doesn't want to, of course I won't force her." But now is not the time to ask her, she still doesn't know me, and I'm going to let her see what I'm true before making a decision. So, I have to win you first. ”

Shen Ruoyu said: "You don't really imagine that I will agree to your request, right?" ”

The young man said, "It's your business whether you agree or not." I must marry her, whether you have visited the church or not. I got Master's permission before I came to power. My master is right thereβ€”"

He pointed with his hand, and everyone looked in the direction of his finger and was immediately shocked. On the tower of Duanli Gate, on the high heavy eaves, an old road is sitting firmly on the mountain beam, leisurely looking down on the square and the happy platform.

Zhu Di was also taken aback, and looked at the old Tao carefully for a while. On the side, Yao Biao saw the old man, but he couldn't help but stand up and stared at the figure on the mountain beam, dumbfounded.

The young man said, "Master supports my decision; Master said that even strangers can't watch an innocent woman suffer such a fate. Not to mention the woman I love; So, even if I lose today, I won't give up, and I'll always fight with you to the end. I must not tolerate the woman I love falling into the hands of Shen Rufeng's son. ”

Shen Ruoyu was slightly stunned, and did not speak for a long time. Above the platform, above the square, thousands of people watched him in silence, holding their breath, waiting for his answer.

Behind him, from beginning to end, King Yan didn't seem to react, just looked at him without saying a word, his face expressionless. He knew that Qiu'er had lifted her hijab again, and was looking at them motionlessly, but she didn't say a word.

At this time, Shen Ruoliao suddenly realized the seriousness of the matter. King Yan didn't say anything, and Qiu'er didn't say anything.

Lu Jiang and Yuan Hui's faces were full of surprise and anxiety, but the two of them didn't say a word. Yao's face was gloomy, and he couldn't tell what he was thinking. Luo Yang and Ma Sanbao were also looking at him in surprise, as if they were still looking forward to it. Zhang Yu, Qiu Fu, Zhu Neng...... The generals of King Yan, the officials of the imperial court, all the soldiers and people in the square and the city tower all stared at him silently, and even a group of monks chanting scriptures on the west side of Xitai stopped and looked at him intently with Master Daoyan.

Everyone was just waiting for him to make a statement.

At the wedding of the county lord, someone robbed the bride, and used his sinful father as an excuse; Hit him in the face, and also hit King Yan in the face. King Yan did not express his position.

Qiu'er is not King Yan's biological daughter after all; The prince named her the county lord and held a wedding for her, all for Shen Ruoyu. Right now, the prince is naturally waiting to see how the Yi Binlang, whom he has high hopes for, will deal with this matter, and see how capable he is to save the face of himself and King Yan's family at the same time.

The bride didn't say anything.

With Qiu'er's character, if she clearly opposes something, she will definitely tell the world loudly at the first time; Once she also said to herself that she didn't care about his background, his father; She looked down on those who used this as a basis to discriminate and attack him. Now, however, she was silent in the face of the handsome teenager's insults and provocations.

a huge crisis; For the first time, Shen Ruoyu felt that he had fallen into an unprecedented panic - the girl he loved was stolen by another person in an instant.

A cold flame burned quietly in his chest. He couldn't tell what kind of flame it was; Anger, shame, grievance, disappointment, unwillingness, jealousy?

King Yan said that only by freeing himself from this burden can he calmly deal with the eyes of the world. At this moment, he clearly felt the existence of the scar between his eyebrows, the hot temperature. He doesn't want to believe in fate, he has a choice.

He was silent for a long time, glanced at the red Nangong Qiu, turned his head, faced the white and flawless opponent, looked directly at the other party, and said very politely:

"Have you ever thought that when you do this, the first thing you will damage is the reputation of the county lord? Just because you don't first ask her wishes, just for you to jokingly call her 'Caitou', because you know so little etiquette, and don't know how to respect her, I will defeat you today; the whole city is here to testify, if you are defeated, I want you to give justice to the county lord, and apologize to her and the king of Yan; if I am defeated, I will kill myself on the spot under the autumn wind, and I will never watch her be humiliated by your hands. Please make a move. ”
