On the second evening of the first day of July, when the lights are on, Yan Yuan is full of lights, and the high friends are full. Although Zhang Juzheng, the envoy of the Qin Mission, had already gone to Nanjing, and although the news of the Nanjing Mutiny came, there was some panic in the market, but after all, he was the deputy envoy of the Qin Mission, and the eldest grandson of the first assistant of the dynasty took a concubine, and the local civil and military officials and gentry, how could it not be unreasonable?

In terms of the level of guests who came to participate, these officials and businessmen in Yangzhou naturally cannot be compared with Yan Hong's several marriages in Beijing. But in terms of financial resources alone, the vast majority of officials in Beijing can't actually compare with the big businessmen in Jiangnan. In addition, Emperor Tiangao was far away, Yan Hongqin sent this marriage, and Xishang Ma Zimian and others tried their best to help, and the pomp was naturally earth-shattering. Not only the big red sedan chair, but also the dragon and lion dances are here. Yangzhou people are not only complimenting Yan Xiaoxianggong for taking a concubine as a wife this time, but also taking advantage of this marriage to have an entertainment in the city.

Mo Qing'er dressed up and got on the big red sedan chair. Watching her daughter being carried out, Mrs. Liu had mixed feelings. When a daughter marries someone else, she naturally has to cry a few times, but looking at this grand wedding pomp, looking at the dense official cards headed by Wei Zhijie, the prefect of Yangzhou, in the family sending procession, and then looking at the celebratory posture in the city, is this a concubine? How many people in the world can get to this point in marrying a wife? Liu was so overwhelmed by the intense sense of happiness that he almost fainted.

However, Xue Yanniang kept calm. She also heard the rumors of the Nanjing Mutiny, and the local guards had indeed been transferred, and Yan Hong's teacher, Qin Chazheng, had also passed. So no matter how prosperous this Yangzhou is, it is difficult to guarantee that there will be no accidents. Xue Yanniang was born in the land of fireworks, and her knowledge and awareness of danger in times of peace. It is far stronger than the Liu family of the small jasper. In addition, she was not carried away by Mo Qing'er's grand marriage ceremony. Therefore, it is the servants who command the house. After sending his relatives away, he patrolled and guarded everywhere, and packed up the most valuable salt and some soft in the house. Yan Hong also sent ten brocade guards to the Mo family to guard them, and Xue Yanniang prepared wine and food to entertain them, preventing them from holding this thigh and fleeing for their lives in case of an accident.

Inside the sedan chair, Mo Qing'er trembled happily, not to mention the hijab and the sedan curtain. She still felt dazzled by the light. Since that magical night in the Teaching Workshop Division, she has secretly promised that Yan Hong is her own master. After Cixi met, she was able to save Yan Hong's life under the command of Erniang, and she completely tied her fate to this handsome Engong. Now, after several years of hard work, I am finally going to marry him as I wish, and it is in such a grand and luxurious wedding that I have become the center of discussion among all Yangzhou people, what an honor. How sweet!

In the Yan Garden, officials and businessmen gathered. More than fifty tables were set up. Originally, Zhang Ju was about to receive the gift as the man's parent, but as a result of the Nanjing Mutiny, Zhang Saijiu rushed to the rescue. Although there are quite a few local officials with higher ranks than Yan Hong, who is embarrassed to sit on them in a big way and take the place of Yan Ge Lao and Xiao Ge Lao? Fortunately, the Yan Song clan is also lush in Jiangxi, and some of its people are traveling around in Jiangnan. So everyone found a person in Yangzhou City, named Yan Bizhang, about fifty years old, who is the distant brother of Yan Song and Yan Ge, that is, Yan Hong's grandfather, and there is a talent and fame, so they just want this person to serve as the man's elder. Yan Bizhang was vigorously prevaricated at first, and he didn't even dare to say it, but later he was persuaded by the officials and wealthy businessmen in Yangzhou, so he reluctantly sat on the seat and accepted Yan Hong's salute with his buttocks sideways.

The interior of this hall is very richly decorated. The delicacies of water and land are displayed at the banquet, and the aged wine is deployed, which is really full of color, flavor and flavor. It's just that in the brocade guards standing at the door, there are a few big men holding inexplicable things in their hands, bamboo poles and sticks that are more than a foot long, and there are many strange-shaped twigs stretched out like tree branches, and the twigs are also tied with various ribbons and silver foils, shaking and rattling, and the candle is very dazzling. The guests all thought, what is this called a guard of honor, although it looks festive, but it is messy, what does it look like? Only a few military attachés muttered in their hearts, this thing is a little similar to Qi Jiguang's wolf in Zhejiang's army.

In the Yan Garden, the pond is full of strange stones, strange flowers and plants, and it is also eye-opening. It's just that in this courtyard, there are a few houses that have inexplicably added some bricks and stones, although they are also covered in red and colored, but they don't look very coordinated. Some local vassal and elegant businessmen and literati secretly ridiculed, this Yan Hong is really a martial artist, although Zhang Yongfu is stinking copper, his garden is still quite elegantly arranged, and now he has been tossed by Yan Hong for a while, and he has become a nondescript. Although the Jiangnan garden pays attention to a patchwork, but a mountain and a water, a flower and a tree are exquisite, do you think that a few random piles of bricks are called novel?

After the worship, Mrs. Xinru Mo Qing'er was sent into the back cave room. The groom Yan Hong wore red and hung colors, and went to the front to entertain the officials and gentry. Local officials, wealthy businessmen, which one is not satisfied? They all got up to toast, and they did it first as a respect, but they didn't dare to force Yan Hong. Yan Hong talked and laughed and walked around a lot, but he didn't drink a few glasses. It's just that he came down this circle, and secretly sneered in his heart. Zhang Yongfu and Zhang Bancheng, who were rectified by himself before, although he also came to the banquet and gave a generous gift, but when he drank with himself, he was only promised, and his eyes couldn't stop moving. Yan Hong said in his heart, Zhang Yongfu, I hope you were just scared by Lao Tzu last time, with a psychological shadow. If you dare to have a relationship with that wicked person from nowhere this time, hehe, you just wait and see.

At this time, the atmosphere of the banquet has reached its climax. Although Yangzhou also has officialdom, shopping malls, and rivers and lakes, after all, the political struggle is far less severe than Beijing. Among the full guests, there were also quite a few who really enjoyed the feast, eating and drinking, and were very happy. Yan Hong was about to go back to the back, when suddenly there was a commotion outside, and he could faintly hear an exclamation. Following the figure flashed, a brocade guard came to the door and said loudly: "Qincha, there is a fire outside!" ”

This sound was earth-shattering, and the whole audience was shocked. The originally noisy and jubilant banquet hall fell silent for a moment, followed by the sound of thuds, crackles, spoons and saucers falling to the ground. But seeing Yan Hong walk to the middle, he smiled slightly and said, "Gentlemen, don't worry. Left and right are just clowns and city fox rats, who want to take advantage of the opportunity of Ben Qin's mission to beg for a glass of wine. The official had already arranged for a stop, just waiting to entertain them. Come, ladies and gentlemen, please back off for a moment. As he spoke, he glanced at Zhang Yongfu out of the corner of his eye, and saw that the fat man was already shaking with fright.

Outside Yan Garden, it was originally crowded with idlers watching the excitement, waiting for alms called Huazi, scoundrels and second-rate people squeezing women, and artists playing tricks to beg for rewards. Now, these Yangzhou citizens have long been crying fathers and mothers, running around. Those who walked in a hurry trampled on each other, fell down and even rolled and climbed, and some fainted in fright. In the periphery, there was a sound of shouting and killing, and Li Jiahu, the nephew of Li Wenzao, who was to be criminalized by the imperial court, with hundreds of evil youths and holding all kinds of blades, had already surrounded him.

Outside Yan Yuan, Yan Hong originally arranged more than 100 guards and more than 200 stove guards to guard it. Although there are a lot of people, the combat effectiveness of these people is quite average, and they are not subordinate to each other, and there is also an internal response that Li Jiahu has already arranged. They were standing guard outside, originally just as a kind of beauty, where did they think of fighting with people to the death? Therefore, when they saw hundreds of evil young men rushing over with their teeth and claws, the undercover agents in the team made a noise, and immediately screamed and scattered, and some people joined the team of evil young people.

Li Jiahu looked at the outer defense line of Yan Yuan, which disappeared in an instant, sneered, and waved his hand: "Rush in from the front with me all the way, rush in from behind with the Chen family brothers all the way, and give me all the houses!" Stay outside with firearms, and some archers and swordsmen, and those who escape will kill one by one! ”

More than 200 thugs, wielding scimitars, spears, iron rods, and a few crossbows, swarmed through the open main entrance. The fallen lanterns, joy unions, and joy cards were trampled on the ground by them, as if they were inconsequential waste paper. The festive scene of a small Dengke at the good end instantly became a garbage heap. These evil young people who rushed in were all outlaws, not only had martial arts, but also had tempered their courage in the market brawls, and also tried their knives in the invasion of the Japanese invaders, and even some of them themselves had secretly committed murder and stealing goods. Ping Suli was in Suzhou and other places, and they didn't pay attention to the guards at all. Now that he is taking advantage of the momentum to rush into the Qincha Xingyuan, even if Yan Hong's three hundred brocade guards are here, so what? One to one, who are the grandfathers afraid of?

The thugs burst through the gate and there was no movement. A few guards guarding the door, who didn't have time to escape, screamed and were cut down by the evil boy. Two of them, who were not fast enough, were also shot in their vests by the team's crossbow arrows, fell to the ground, and were quickly hacked to death with knives. Several servants were so frightened that they knelt on the ground and shouted "spare their lives", and they were also rushed up by several people and killed one by one. The wicked young people don't want to stay alive, and they don't want to show any mercy here. A few evil young men set fire to the side houses on both sides, and Li Jiahu waved his hand and rushed towards the second gate with people. The guards of the second gate seem to have completely escaped. The two doors were closed. A few evil young men armed with iron rods and hammers stepped forward and smashed the guys in their hands fiercely. There was a few dull noises, followed by a click, and the latch on the top of the door was smashed, and the second door opened with a bang. Li Jiahu took the lead and rushed into the door. The wicked boys followed in waves.

Beyond the second gate, you will find a brightly lit banquet hall. Still no effective guards in sight. Yan Yuan occupies a lot of land, but more than 200 evil people came in, and the courtyard was still crowded. Li Jiahu laughed: "Yan Hong, your time of death has arrived!" Rush me! Don't let any of them go! ”

The evil boys shouted, first shooting a row of arrows at the main hall, and then strode towards the main entrance. Just when the evil young man at the front was about ten steps away from the main entrance, a gunshot like a popping bean suddenly sounded in the courtyard. Accompanied by a row of fires on the roof. The evil boys were knocked down several times. For the first time in the menacing team, there was a scream. (To be continued......)
