Chapter 369: Darkness and Light at the Wedding!

The large and grand hall of St. Paul's Church in Macau, with its high dome, not only depicts many angels and miracles, but also the light wells inlaid with stained glass.

And the hall facing the innermost part of the gate, the wall was made up of a huge wall of stained-glass windows from top to bottom, and in front of it was a huge cross, on which was the suffering Jesus, and the stone wall was covered with stone carvings of the sun, moon and stars, and monsters with plant motifs and fantasies.

There is also the faint echoing and lingering chant of the whole hall, which makes the whole hall seem to be in a kind of trance of the gods, and strengthens the sacred religious color of teaching.

Archbishop Rhone stood on the steps in front of the altar, dressed in his splendid and solemn episcopal robe, and looked at His Royal Highness the Eldest Princess of Spain to his right with a kind and loving expression, this beautiful and noble princess was now dressed in a gorgeous and elegant white wedding dress, and shyly covered the hot gaze of her fiancé with her long thick eyelashes.

Archbishop Rhone glanced at the lucky man to his left, this young man from the East could be regarded as a great man even by the eyes of Westerners, but the thought of a beautiful and noble princess would become the wife of these Orientals made him feel a little uncomfortable in his heart.

But, as a shepherd of God, he must fulfill his duties at the holy wedding. Clearing his throat, he continued his presiding words: "As the Bible says: 'If the Lord had not built the house, the builder would have worked in vain.'" The Bible also says: 'Judge Him in all your things, and he will direct your paths.' ’

…… Let us bow our heads and pray that God Almighty and Eternal cares about you in our actions. Give us a pure heart and an upright spirit, so that our desires do not hinder us from knowing your will, and our weaknesses do not hinder us from obeying your will, so that we may see light in your light through Jesus Christ and find true freedom in you. Be with us at this now and now, and bless us according to your faithfulness in what we call this gathering......"

--------------------

The bishop's lengthy presiding speech continued, and the guests invited to the wedding represented almost the highest echelons of the Western colony in the East, including the Dutch Colonial Governor Groening and his wife, the Spanish Colonial Governor Marcello and his wife, and the French Commander of the Army in the East, Brigadier General Cameron and his wife...... Of course, there was also a special guest, who was Edmund Edmund Brown, a member of the Board of Supervisors of the British East India Company. Viscount Burke, in fact, the person invited by Liang Pengfei to the East to attend Liang Pengfei's wedding should be Lord Dundas, chairman of the British East India Company's supervisory committee.

However, Lord Dundas, after hearing that the East India Company's fleet had become someone else's spoils of war and left a suicide note, committed suicide by swallowing opium, and Edmund, a senior member of the Supervisory Committee and one of the twenty-four shareholders of the East Indias, had to represent the East India Company at the wedding, and he was accompanied by the British diplomat, Lord Macartney.

Viscount Edmund's appearance was even older than when Macartney saw it half a year ago, but Macartney could not give the other party any comfort, but fell into a deep self-blame, if he did not think that the time had come for the British Empire to knock on the door of the country, and transferred almost all the warships from India, and most of the army to the East, then the British could not have given away their colonies in India and Bengal that they had carefully managed for more than a hundred years in such a short time.

"Well, dear George, don't worry, in fact, I think exactly the same as you, even if it were not for your advice, our committee would have made the same decision." When Viscount Edmund saw Macartney's expression, he comforted his good friend with words.

The two had been good friends when they were in England, but neither had imagined that in India, after their first pleasant meeting in Calcutta, they would meet again at the wedding of the culprit who had caused the British Empire to lose most of its colonies and wealth in the East.

"Look around us, do you think they've been the winners? No, look at their expressions, under those hypocritical smiling faces, there is fear and worry lurking, although they occupy the pearl of our British Empire in the East, but they are like a group of people lying on the beds covered with gold coins and jewels, not only do they have no way to sleep peacefully, but also make them fearful, for fear that some more violent robber will break into the door......" Viscount Edmund's mouth hung a slight sneer with a little madness and cruelty, His gaze fell meaningfully on Liang Pengfei, who was wearing a pure black tunic with a half-open neckline, revealing a white and beautiful stand-up collar shirt inside, standing to the left of Bishop Rhône, with a happy face.

Seeing Viscount Edmund's expression, Macartney knew very well how painful Viscount Edmund's heart was, the opium trade of the East India Company was planted in his hands, and the normal trade share of the East India Company was also said to have been reduced by his hand, so that the East India Company had to buy the tea, porcelain, and silk that Britain urgently needed from merchants from other countries.

The East India Company's mighty fleet in the East, which he had used to deter other Western colonists, was now in his hands, and he held more than 10,000 British prisoners of war.

It was he who secretly planned and led the Western countries to unite and annex the British colonies of India and Bengal, or this guy took advantage of the faith of the Indian niggers to turn the originally impregnable Kolkata Fortress into the slashed thighs of the slut.

Seeing this Oriental, whom he had never met, but who had been completely destroyed by his series of insidious and vicious actions, British interests in the East. Viscount Edmund had the urge to rush forward and make numerous holes in his body if he had a knife in his hand, and then sprinkle the salt into his wounds.

However, it was only impulsive, and the murderous aura of the powerful Chinese soldiers scattered throughout the church and beyond, as well as their careless but flashing blood-devouring and fierce eyes, were warning these ill-intentioned people who had come to the wedding.

"If I had a gun in my hand, I would gladly point it at him." Macartney's whispering beside him also spoke to Viscount Edmund's heart.

And to their left and right, there are many Western colonial officials and those Western businessmen who are also whispering secretly, of course, they are trying to be careful not to let people find out.

"Her Royal Highness the eldest princess of Spain has become his wife, which is not necessarily a good thing for Spain, you know, although the current colonial situation in the East seems relatively calm, but His Excellency the Führer will certainly not let this calm last long."

“…… Who knows, anyway, if the Spaniards thought that they would be able to do whatever they wanted in the East with the support of this guy, it would infuriate us all. ”

"Shhhh This guy has always turned his face and didn't recognize people, think about the countries planted in his hands, low-key, try to be low-key. I don't want to get in trouble......"

--------------------

Liang Pengfei swept down the Western guests who were invited with the corner of his eye, among this group of people, there are really a lot of people with ghosts, but Liang Pengfei is not afraid, at least, they really don't have the capital to make Liang Pengfei afraid now.

Inviting them here today to attend his wedding with Her Royal Highness Princess Maria is not only to tie the relationship between the two parties, but also to let these Westerners witness this wedding and give a perfect explanation to Dear Maria, a grand and luxurious wedding.

Of course, Liang Pengfei, who has a ghost in his heart and has eyes all over his body, has more than this idea, because as long as the Holy See recognizes the legal surname of this wedding, then in the future, Liang Pengfei's big hand stained with the blood of Westerners can reach out to Europe.

After all, the identity of the husband of the eldest princess of Spain is not a joke, but Liang Pengfei is really sincere to Maria, a beautiful young woman of Western religion.

Liang Pengfei looked at his beloved Maria with a smile, wearing a white and gorgeous wedding dress today, which completely showed off her hot figure, her bright eyes and bright teeth were so charming, and the joy and expectation on her cheeks added a little more delicate.

At this time, the lengthy prayer, after consuming a lot of Bishop Rhône's saliva, finally came to the point.

"Carlotta. Her Royal Highness Princess Ruoachina, would you like Liang Pengfei to be your husband and live together as a friend and partner? Do you love him and respect him? You are willing to share happiness with him as equals, whether it is pain or poverty......" As Bishop Narona's voice rose again, all the whispers disappeared without a trace, for the wedding had arrived.

Maria raised her head and looked at Liang Pengfei, who was standing opposite, dressed in a decent black coat and a very flattering black knot on his white shirt, looking at the tenderness and pampering on his face, as well as the strong love in his eyes, Maria closed her eyes intoxicated, took a deep breath, and replied reverently: "I do!" I am willing to be Liang Pengfei's wife, I am willing to be equal to him, and share happiness together, whether it is pain or poverty......" Clearly, a beautiful voice like a nightingale instantly spread throughout this vast church.

The echoes from near and far came one after another, and the faint sound of the hymn was echoed, as if the angel were singing...... Her voice resounded in the tall and majestic St. Paul's Church, as if this church existed to witness this wedding that the world will always remember.

"No one thought that this wedding would change the pattern ......of the entire West and even the world," said Xiao Staunton, who was fortunate enough to see this wedding decades later.
