Chapter 126: The Marriage Is in Trouble
For Xiao Fan, it was only in his mind that the county lord of Jiangdu and Geng Xuan would not be allowed to marry smoothly.
What Xiao Fan is afraid of is Zhu Yuanzhang's reaction, once Zhu Yuanzhang is ignored, he can come up with an idea to stir up the marriage between the county lord of Jiangdu and Geng Xuan.
Xiao Fan now has to admit that sometimes he really doesn't look like a righteous gentleman.
However, he still had some reservations about what he said to Moyu.
He said that "for the time being, he will not let the county lord of Jiangdu marry Geng Xuan", but he did not promise to marry the county lord, because he was really not sure that he would be able to make Zhu Yuanzhang change his mind.
Xiao Fan thought about it, this was the only thing he could do for the county lord.
The two pillars of incense passed, and Cao Yi hurriedly entered the gate of Xiaofu.
"My lord, I heard that you are looking for me?" Cao Yi strode into the inner hall, and asked urgently before he sat down.
Xiao Fan raised his hand, then glanced at Taixu, and said, "Let's go, let's find an open place where no one is there to talk." β
Of course, the empty and uninhabited place is the small peach forest in the front yard of Xiao Mansion, which is not only quiet, but also can be seen clearly by the wind and grass within a radius of more than ten zhang.
This matter is too important, Xiao Fan has to be careful, the fewer people who know about this matter, the better, and even the people of Jinyiwei can't be mobilized, who knows how many people in it are Zhu Yuanzhang's secret agents?
Therefore, Xiao Fan feels that this matter can only be handled by the most trusted person, Cao Yi and Taixu are the best candidates, they have kung fu, and they will never leak half a sentence, it can really be regarded as seamless.
After turning his head and looking around, after making sure that there were no outsiders around, Xiao Fan lowered his voice and said with a solemn face: "Brother Cao, there is something that the junior brother wants to trouble the master and you to help." β
Cao Yi raised his eyebrows and said, "Although Brother Xiao speaks, Cao will never refuse." β
Xiao Fan stared at Cao Yi and said, "Brother Cao, let me tell you first, this matter is a matter of losing your head, are you willing to do it?" β
Cao Yi laughed and said heroically: "Lao Tzu has fought countless times on the battlefield in his life, which one didn't he almost lose his head?" What's so unusual! β
Xiao Fan smiled movingly, and said emotionally: "Brother Cao, brother is not thankful here, if it fails, it is my brother who has affected you, and I will pay you with my life." β
Taixu was so moved by the brotherhood of the two that his eyes were red, and he kept raising his sleeves to wipe away his tears.
Cao Yi glanced at Taixu and said with a smile: "Your master is not afraid of death at such an advanced age, Cao is afraid of a bird!" If things fail, we will go on the road together, and we will be a good man again twenty years later. β
Xiao Fan hurriedly stopped: "Brother Cao, don't be too hot-blooded, my master is a cat crying mouse, you can completely ignore him, if the matter is revealed, he will slip faster than a rabbit...... It's just us two on the road. β
Cao Yi: "............"
Taixu's old face gradually turned red: "............"
After being silent for a long time, Cao Yi smacked his lips and said, "Let's just let us two, we can finally get a white-haired person to send a black-haired person ......"
"Brother Cao, the white-haired man had already run away without a shadow at that time......"
Taixu was buried so that his old face became more and more embarrassed, and he hurriedly coughed dryly: "You can be optimistic, the poor road has pinched your fingers, this matter must be no surprise, the wind and waves are calm, and no one can send anyone ......"
Cao Yi asked, "Brother Xiao, after talking for a long time, you haven't said what you want Cao to do." β
Xiao Fan said in a low voice: "Ming said that the county lord of Jiangdu and Geng Xuan got married, what we have to do is to stir up this marriage." β
Cao Yi was taken aback: "Huh? That's the Son of Heaven himself......"
Xiao Fan nodded and said, "So I said, this is a head-losing thing." β
Cao Yi thought about it, and his face suddenly showed a look of realization: "You have a personal relationship with the county lord of Jiangdu?" β
"Nope!" Xiao Fan categorically denied it.
"Geng Xuan offended you?"
"No, I haven't even met him."
Cao Yi was puzzled and said: "Then I don't understand, there is no grudge and no hatred, why are you messing with other people's marriages?" β
"The county lord of Jiangdu is unwilling to marry him."
"So?"
"Jinyi Wei is all a living Lei Feng!"
"Clear."
"County Lord, County Lordβ"
Mo Yu ran into the Zhaoren Palace with a sweat on his head.
In front of the bronze mirror in the side hall, the lord of Jiangdu was like a puppet with no thoughts and no feelings, looking at himself in the mirror blankly.
Red candles, phoenix crowns, xia curtains, and bronze mirrors blur a wooden shadow like mud casting, and under the festive costume, a walking corpse-like shell is wrapped.
When a woman struggles and has to obey the arrangement of fate, her heart is dead, leaving only an empty shell, loved, hated, life is like an epiphany, instantly blooming with the most beautiful brilliance, and then withering and withering, for her, it doesn't matter who she marries or who she starts with, and she can no longer have half a ripple in her heart,ββ except for the man she once loved and disappointed.
As soon as Houmen entered the deep sea, Xiao Lang was a passer-by from then on.
The infatuation of the past has become delusional, and it is okay to be gone.
"County Lord, County Lordβ" Mo Yu ran into the side hall with a look of surprise that could not be concealed.
Seeing that the county lord was still sitting in front of the mirror and did not react, Mo Yu couldn't help but feel distressed and pity and stepped forward, gently shaking the county lord's fragrant shoulders.
"County Lord, things have taken a turn for the better, don't ...... like this"
The county lord still didn't react, like a beautiful but lifeless puppet, letting the black jade shake.
"County Lord! Xiao Fan said, he promised not to let you marry that Geng Xuan! Did you hear that? Princess! β
The hollow eyes of the county lord of Jiangdu like a dead man finally changed, and some vitality returned to his eyes, like a clear spring, injected into the dry soil that had dried up for many years.
After a long time, the county lord finally spoke, his voice hoarse and sad.
"Moyu, you...... What did you just say? β
"The maid went to see Xiao Fan just now, and he said that he promised that you would never marry that Geng Xuan!" Mo Yu saw that the county lord's pretty face was alive, so he hurriedly repeated.
The clouds in the beautiful eyes of the county lord dissipated, and gradually glowed with brilliance, and the waves of his eyes flowed, looking so vivid and flexible, and the walking dead just now.
The soul that had been lost for a long time had finally returned to her body, and she was alive.
Blinking quietly, the county lord looked at the blushing pretty face in the bronze mirror, she gradually pursed her small mouth, and her big eyes slowly bent into two lovely crescent moons.
Xiao Fan...... Is that really what you say? The county lord's voice was inaudible, mixed with the girl's inexplicable shyness.
"Yes, it's true!"
The pretty face of the county lord finally bloomed with a smile, like a begonia in early spring, bright and moving, showing his most beautiful moment for those who please themselves.
"Moyu ......," the county lord called softly.
"The servant is here."
"Dress me."
Mo Yu looked at the uncontrollable county lord with joy on his face, and couldn't help but pouted quietly. Women are the stupidest ,ββ but also the most beautiful when they are always lost in themselves.
"County Lord, how can you believe that Xiao Fan will definitely have a way for you not to marry Geng Xuan? You and Geng Xuan are married by the Son of Heaven, and they are easy and immutable......"
The county lord's smile is still the same, and there is a willing stupidity in the beauty.
"I just believe! Xiao Fan is a man of his word, and he will definitely do what he says,ββ he is a gentleman! β
"Remember, what we're doing tonight is a head-off thing, don't tell anyone anything about gentlemanly demeanor, bastard is a gentleman!"
In the dark night, Xiao Fan told Taixu and Cao Yi with a serious face.
Cao Yi nodded vigorously: "Don't worry, Lao Tzu has never understood what a gentleman is in his life!" β
Taixu hehe smiled: "In the eyes of the poor road, the gentleman is a fool, and the poor road is not stupid......"
Xiao Fan looked at Cao Yi, who was full of violence, and Taixu, who was smiling obscenely, and couldn't help but sigh a long sigh: "Among the three of us, maybe only I am the closest to the gentleman......
Too vain sneered: "Come on, you, if you don't bring gold on your face, do you want to be embarrassed?" Just count you as the most wilted, kill without seeing blood, and the tricks of the yin people are worse than the other, so you can accumulate some yin virtue. β
Xiao Fan grimaced and said in a deep voice: "Brother Cao, you help me kill this old guy first, it's so annoying!" β
It's too void and thunderous.
Cao Yi stopped: "Let's get down to business first!" Brother Xiao, you said that you want to stir up the marriage between the county lord and Geng Xuan, how do you do it? Kiss grabbing? β
Xiao Fan shook his head and said, "It's too bloody to rob relatives, there's nothing new." β
Turning his head to look at Taixu, Xiao Fan asked, "Master, you have the highest kung fu, let me ask you, have you ever stolen someone?" β
ββ¦β¦ Stealing a woman. β
"How about stealing a man?"
"The poor road does not take the dry road......"
"It's a good way, it's a very good way, you must steal it! Only you can do it. β
Cao Yi realized: "You mean, steal Geng Xuan out of Geng's mansion?" β
Xiao Fan nodded, looked up at the sky, and said: "It's the second watch now, and tomorrow as soon as the day dawns, Geng's Mansion will prepare to welcome the Son of Heaven to canonize Geng Xuan's golden book, and at this time, Geng's Mansion must have already fallen asleep." Master, it is not difficult for you to make light power fly over the walls of Geng's Mansion, and it is not difficult to dodge the guards who patrol the Geng's Mansion at night......"
Taixu said with a bitter face: "But how did Poor Dao steal Geng Xuan's kid out?" If there are two people, it's not easy to do the light work of the poor road......"
Xiao Fan smiled and said: "This depends on Master's extraordinary wisdom and extraordinary courage, any method can be used, hijacking, binding, dripping wax, leather whip, whatever you want......
Taixu pondered for a moment and said, "If you bring him out in batches, Poor Dao is very sure......"
Xiao Fan and Cao Yi's eyes straightened: "What do you mean to bring him out in batches?" β
"It's just to chop Geng Xuan's kid into pieces, and run a few more times on the poor road, won't you bring him out?" Too void with a lustful face.
Xiao Fan's face turned black in an instant, he gritted his teeth, viciously wrenched Tai Xu's shoulder, and lowered his voice: "Master, you must remember as if you were playing with your life, you must not slaughter Geng Xuan, you must let him live, so that people can't get married, he is unlucky enough, and he has to pay for his life, which is too unkind." β
Taixu nodded bitterly and agreed.
Xiao Fan patted him on the shoulder with satisfaction, pointed to the wall outside Geng's mansion and said, "Okay, Master, you can act, fly in with a kind of wind scratching posture, and then take Geng Xuan's kid out, go!" β
Taixu lifted his breath, and then stomped his feet on the spot, and his thin body rose into the air, and the black sleeves of his robe were wide open, like a big bird gliding across the sky, blending with the night, and silently flew into the wall of Geng's mansion.
Cao Yi watched Taixu's figure disappear, and couldn't help but say with envy: "Your master is really a peerless master,...... Brother Xiao, can you help me ask him about the old man, does he still accept apprentices? β
As soon as the words fell, I could only hear a very slight "plop" inside the wall, and then there was a cry of "oops" from Taixu.
Xiao Fan's heart tightened, and he hurriedly asked through the wall, "Master, what's wrong with you?" β
ββ¦β¦ ! Thatched pit! β
Xiao Fan and Cao Yi wiped their sweat: "............"
"Brother Cao, what did you just say?"
"Ah...... Nothing, when I didn't say. β
β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦ Taixu really lived up to expectations, half an hour later, a black shadow was thrown out of the wall, and then a figure rose to the sky, twisted in mid-air, slowly opened the sleeves of the robe, and gently fell to the outside of the wall like a divine eagle.
Xiao Fan stepped forward and said happily: "Succeeded?" β
Taixu stroked his beard with a smug face: "How can you miss a horse when you are poor?" Poor Dao is a peerless master......"
Xiao Fan and Cao Yi pinched their noses and took a step back.
"Master, those who have just fallen into the pit should keep a low profile......"
Taixu: "............"
Cao Yi pointed to the black shadow thrown out by Taixu and said, "Dao Chief, this kid is Geng Xuan?" β
"Yes, Poor Dao wandered around the Geng Mansion for two pillars of incense for an hour before he found his bedroom."
"How did you get him out?"
Tai Xuan smiled proudly: "It's very simple, after Poor Dao restrained him, he put a knife against his neck and asked him, do you want to be beaten or knifed?" This kid was a smart man, and he immediately said that he would be beaten, so I knocked him unconscious and brought him out. β
Xiao Fan looked at the unconscious Geng Xuan sympathetically, wiped his sweat and said, "It's a difficult choice to suffer him." β
Xiao Fan bent down and pulled Geng Xuan's head, and by the moonlight, he saw that Geng Xuan's eyes were closed, his face was handsome and fair, he could be said to be a handsome guy, and his handsomeness was no less than Xiao Fan.
Xiao Fan frowned, what does the handsome guy like to see the most? - Another handsome guy.
With a long sigh, Xiao Fan muttered, "...... I really want to pour some sulfuric acid on his face. β
Cao Yi said: "Brother Xiao, people have come out, what should we do next?" β
Xiao Fan said in a deep voice: "Stuffy him! β
Cao Yi was stunned and said: "What is 'stuffy'? β
Xiao Fan explained seriously: "It is to put a sack on his head, and then knock him with a stuffy stick, referred to as 'stuffy hemp'......"
Cao Yi suddenly said: "As soon as you say this, I will understand......"
β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦ So, in the dark night, outside the walls of the Changxing Marquis Geng's Mansion, the three of them carried out inhumane suffocation on Geng Xuan.
When the panting trio stopped, poor Geng Xuan woke up and fainted several times.
Xiao Fan stepped forward to take a closer look at Geng Xuan's injuries, and then nodded with satisfaction with his masterpiece.
"This injury is estimated to be enough for him to lie in bed for three or five months......" Cao Yi said in an authoritative tone of a forensic doctor.
Xiao Fan said with a smile: "That's enough, at least he will definitely not be able to marry the county lord of Jiangdu tomorrow, and the marriage will be mixed up by us." β
Turning his head to look at Taixu, Xiao Fan said, "Master, I have to trouble you again and send this kid back." β
Taixu looked up at the sky and said thoughtfully: "Poor Dao has a question, which has been hidden in his heart for a long time, and he is not unhappy. β
"Then vomit, hurry."
Taixu slowly glanced at the two of them, and said in a deep voice: "Since our purpose tonight is to beat up this kid Geng Xuan, why don't you just let Poor Dao beat him in his bedroom?" I have to get him out, and after beating him, I will send Poor Dao back, this ......"
Xiao Fan and Cao Yi looked at each other.
Silent for a long time...... "Brother Cao, what Master said seems to be very reasonable......
ββ¦β¦ Right. β
The next morning, the Shohito Palace was busy.
All kinds of wedding gift boxes were piled up on the flat ground outside the palace into one hill after another.
The royal wedding girl, of course, its grandeur is much grander than the commoner's house, before dawn, the honor guard of the relatives has been waiting outside the Chengtian Gate, the officials of the Ministry of Rites are sweating profusely outside the Chengtian Gate to carefully count the number of carriage honor guards, as well as the dowry of the county lord.
In the Zhaoren Palace, the maids were also sweating and shuttling, busy dressing and changing clothes for the county lord, pasting yellow on the mirror, and in a joyful atmosphere, it was full of inexplicable weirdness.
The county lord of Jiangdu sat honestly in front of the mirror, letting the maids fiddle, but the slender hands in his sleeves were clenched tightly, and his knuckles were even white due to excessive force.
The guard of honor is about to leave, and Zhang Zhen, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, has already taken the holy decree and went to Geng's mansion first, read out the emperor's marriage decree, and awarded Geng Xuan the golden book of honor, the golden book was issued, and her fate was set from then on, and it could not be changed, Xiao Fan...... Why hasn't there been any news yet?
Mo Yu stood behind the county lord and paced back and forth, running outside the palace gate from time to time and standing on tiptoe to look around, looking very anxious.
Time passed slowly, and there was still no news from outside the palace, and the pretty face of the county lord gradually turned white, and the beautiful eyes that glowed brightly became more and more dim.
Xiao Fan...... Will it lie to me? Or maybe he can't think of a way to stop me from marrying Geng Xuan?
The county lord carried a heart, and told himself again and again in his heart, no, Xiao Fan is a believer, he is a gentleman, and he will definitely do what he says!
A wave of faith supported her, until a melodious bell rang from the Wufeng Tower above the noon gate, and then a eunuch screamed outside the palace: "The auspicious time has arrivedβthe honor guard is ready to leave!" β
The county lord's pretty face became more and more pale, and his trembling delicate body couldn't help but shake slightly, and he was about to fall, but he was supported by the fast-eyed Mo Yu on the side.
"County Lord! Wait, wait, there's good news! Mo Yu shook the county lord's shoulder and said anxiously.
"Moyu...... I, I believe in him! Always believe in him! The county wept silently.
"County Lord, hold on, and the servant will go out to see ...... again"
As he was talking, suddenly a eunuch carried the dust, hurriedly ran into the hall, he looked frightened, sweating profusely, and hurriedly knelt down after seeing the county lord, and said in a trembling voice: "The county lord, Changxing Hou Gengfu, there is a ...... With a little ...... Accident ......"
The county who was silently crying took the initiative to make a pause, and then stared at the eunuch with surprise on his face.
Mo Yu was even more overjoyed, and hurriedly urged: "What happened to Geng Mansion?" Say it, say it! β
The eunuch trembled and said: "The county lord's guest of honor, Geng Xuan, the son of the Marquis of Changxing,...... Seriously injured, I'm afraid, I'm afraid that the county lord's marriage will not be able to be done for the time being, and the county lord will be angry, and ...... angry."
The county lord's eyes lit up: "Seriously injured?" β
"Back to the county lord, this morning Geng's mansion was ready to meet the holy decree, but Geng Xuan couldn't be found in the whole mansion, and later, Geng Bingwen, the Marquis of Changxing, lost his temper and ordered the people of the mansion to search for it, and finally ...... Finally found the unconscious Geng Xuan in a thatched house, that Geng Xuan was scarred all over his body, his hand was broken and his leg was broken, and the marriage between His Royal Highness the county lord and him was probably ...... It's impossible to do it today......"
"Great!" Mo Yu jumped for joy, and then found that he was speechless, and hurriedly covered his mouth silently, but his eyebrows were full of happy smiles.
"How so? It's just too ......" The county lord was just about to cheer, but he saw the eunuch looking at him with a strange face, the county lord was shocked, and his pretty face immediately turned into joy, and he cried sadly: "...... It's just unfortunate! Woohoo......"
"That's right! It's so unfortunate! Mo Yu happily agreed.
