Commander Qi inherited Li Chengjing's position, knowing that his prestige could not convince all the commanders to believe in him, and the top priority was to consolidate his position first, so he had to postpone the pace of external expansion.

During this period, the forces of all parties once again entered a situation of relative equilibrium.

Five months later, in early January

Duan Shaoling returned to his hometown with Xue Qingning, and after discussion, their wedding was scheduled for January 20.

Li Chengjing had sold all her property before she came to Pingle Town, and then bought a house in Pingle Town through the introduction of Master Duan.

According to the rules, the bride is not allowed to live in the groom's house before the wedding, but it is even more inappropriate for Xue Qingning to live in Chen Zui's place, and finally decided to live in Li Chengjing's place, and use Li Chengjing's place as her maiden home when she leaves the cabinet.

Xue Qingning sincerely invited Li Chengjing to be her bridesmaid.

After the invitation was sent, Shen Hong, Lu Baiting, and Zou Baoyi gathered in Pingle Town five days before the wedding.

Lu Baiting came with his wife and children, and Shen Hong also brought Chu Yanyan with him, and then announced to everyone that their happy event was also approaching.

The most surprising are Zou Baoyi and Wang Xiaoyan.

After Wang Xiaoyan graduated, she went to Nanyang with her family to do business, and since then she has lost contact with everyone.

Until the beginning of last year, the Wang family returned to Guicheng to develop and cooperated with the Zou family. Because of the frequent business exchanges, the two Zou and Wang not only found their former friendship, but also gradually developed feelings, and finally came together, their wedding was scheduled for the eighth day of the first month, 20 days later than Duan Xue and the two.

In addition, Chen Zui learned from Shen Lu and the others that the Xiao Gang was in full swing under Chen Youwei's leadership, and it was not inferior to his own reign, and he was greatly relieved that he was finally worthy of the Xiao Gang leader's deathbed trust.

That night, they got together and drank and talked, but they all tacitly kept silent about Chen Zui and Li Chengjing, and they all laughed at the past.

For several days in a row, everyone enjoyed and played in the mountains and rivers and fields, which was very pleasant.

Until the day before the wedding, the bride and groom could not see each other on this day, and there were still many things to arrange before the wedding, so everyone stopped going out.

The ladies accompanied Xue Qingning at Li Chengjing's place, and several big men stayed in Duan's mansion to accompany Duan Shaoling to arrange pre-marital matters and receive guests who arrived in advance.

At noon, Zou Bao'er also arrived early, Xue Qingning was overjoyed, and with Zou Bao'er's blessing, this wedding could be regarded as a happy one.

Everyone was chatting and laughing with Xue Qingning in the room, when Father Chen suddenly arrived. He stood at the door, but didn't come in, said a simple hello to everyone, and said, "Chengjing, dad has something to ask you for a favor." The words were very earnest.

Li Chengjing stepped forward to greet her and said softly: "Dad, if you have anything, just say it directly." ”

Daddy Chen said slowly: "You also know that I have rheumatism on my legs and need to soak my feet in wormwood regularly. I was trying to soak my feet just now, but I found that the wormwood was running out, I went to Duanfu to find Chen Zui, and he went to Xinglin Village to pick up his aunt for Shaoling first, so ......"

Before Daddy Chen finished speaking, Li Chengjing understood, and hurriedly said, "Dad, you go home and wait for a while, I'll go pick it for you." ”

Father Chen thanked him again and again and left.

At the beginning of last month, Li Chengjing accompanied Chen Zui to the slope across the river to pick wormwood, so he was familiar with the road. After Li Chengjing explained a little to everyone, she went up the mountain alone to collect medicine.

Li Chengjing had just walked across the river, and instantly noticed that there was something strange around her, and as soon as she stopped, suddenly a huge black shadow was about to press down from the top of her head.

Li Chengjing hurriedly turned to the right, and two men jumped down from the tree with a shout, and a large net was opened in their hands. If it weren't for Li Chengjing's quick reaction, I am afraid she would have become a fish in their net.

"Who are you?" Li Chengjing shouted.

As soon as the words fell, six more people appeared on all sides, each holding a short dagger, forming a circle around Li Chengjing.

One of them said loudly: "We are all Bai Dashuai's subordinates, and we are here to avenge his old man's family. After speaking, he attacked Li Chengjing like crazy.

These eight people were armed with daggers and made ruthless moves, Li Chengjing faced the enemy with her bare hands, did not dare to slack off, and knocked down the two with thunder as soon as she came up. When the other six saw their companions fall, they were not only not cowardly, but even more fierce and desperate. But their skills are too far from Li Chengjing, and after more than ten moves, two more people fell to the ground and grieved**.

In the blink of an eye, six people had already fallen, but this thing came too suddenly, even incredible, because Li Chengjing was determined to ask the truth.

Just when Li Chengjing knocked down the seventh person and was about to capture the eighth person to ask the truth, the man saw that he was invincible, took out the dagger in his hand, and threw it at Li Chengjing like a hidden weapon.

Li Chengjing leaned over, and the dagger fell to the ground. Just as she was about to fight back, the man took out the powder from his arms again and sprinkled it, Li Chengjing hurriedly hid her face and avoided it, and the powder only hit her sleeve.

They took advantage of Li Chengjing's face to hide her face, held back the pain, and rushed over with a shout. Li Chengjing's body turned to the right, her hands supported the ground, her legs swept, whirring, and several people fell down with a wail again.

Li Chengjing was just about to turn around, when suddenly a gravity blow was received on her back, and she tried her best to deal with the eight people in front of her, never expecting that someone would sneak attack from behind.

And the force of this blow was like a thunderbolt, Li Chengjing's eyes went black and she fainted.

When Li Chengjing woke up slowly, she found that she was tied to a tree like a zongzi, and her mouth was stuffed with cotton cloth, and she couldn't speak, the only thing she could feel was that those people were behind him, they didn't make much movement, and they seemed to be waiting for something.

After another moment, Li Chengjing saw that there was a person in front of her who was coming this way, and when the person got closer, Li Chengjing saw that it was Chen Drunk, and she was shocked and anxious, and wanted to tell him not to come, but she couldn't move.

At this moment, a hand suddenly removed the gauze from his mouth. Li Chengjing shouted: "Chen Zui hurry up, there is danger here, go back and find Shaoling and ...... them."

Chen Zui saw Li Chengjing tied to the tree and the people behind her. Reason told him that he should listen to Li Chengjing and go back to move the rescuers, but when he saw Li Chengjing like this, it was impossible for him to leave no matter what, in case those people saw him running back and killed Li Chengjing in a rage, then he would regret it for the rest of his life.

Chen Zui rushed up desperately, those people seemed to know that they couldn't beat Chen Zui, and they had no intention of doing anything with him, but a gun was aimed at Li Chengjing's temple, and then motioned for Chen Zui to stand in place.

"Who are you?" Chen Zui asked.

Li Chengjing said: "They are Bai Jingyi's old department. ”

One of them hated and said: "The handsome father and son are as kind to us as a mountain, but they died at your hands, and we are desperate to find an opportunity to avenge them." ”

Chen Zui said again: "Their father and son died in my hands, and it has nothing to do with her, you let her go." ”

The man laughed and said, "Okay, Gang Leader Chen, since you want to be a hero to save the beauty, then I will give you this opportunity." "You tied him up for me." Then a look signaled, the person with the gun pulled the trigger, and as soon as Chen Zui resisted, he shot Li Chengjing

Li Chengjing shouted: "Chen drunk, don't fall for them, even if you are caught, they will not let me go, and then both of us will die here, you go quickly." ”

The man said in a strange manner: "Commander-in-chief, don't waste your efforts anymore, Gang Leader Chen will not leave, because he knows that as long as he leaves, we will kill you immediately." It has long been rumored that Gang Master Chen has a deep affection for you, and he will not gamble with your life. ”

The two came over to tie up Chen Zui unscrupulously, and Chen Zui really did not resist, and finally the two were tied to a tree together.

Li Chengjing scolded: "Why are you so stupid to accompany me to death?" ”

Chen Zui looked at her and said softly: "If I want to watch you die, then I would rather die with you, because if I can die with you, I will die without regrets." ”

Li Chengjing's heart was shocked, this is what she said when she jumped off the cliff with Chen Zui, it turned out that Chen Zui was the same to her, thinking of this, she was suddenly not so scared.

The man suddenly applauded, and then sneered: "Wow, it seems that you are really more affectionate than Jinjian, I am really moved!" You're going to die soon, anyway, I might as well do something good, give you another three minutes, and if you have anything to say, just hurry up. ”

Although Chen Zui was also tied, his palm could still move, just enough to hold Li Chengjing's palm, so he reached out to hold Li Chengjing's right hand, "Chengjing, I love you, from beginning to end." ”

Li Chengjing looked at him and smiled softly, "Me too, from beginning to end." ”

They clasped hands and slowly closed their eyes.

After a few moments, what they were waiting for was not the sound of a deadly gunshot, but the sound of the rope being cut on their bodies.

Just when they didn't know why, Duan Shaoling, Shen Hong, Lu Baiting, Zou Baoyi, the four of them walked over from the grass in front of them with a smile.

At this time, they had regained their freedom, and the few people who had tied them up just now bowed respectfully to them and apologized: "Please forgive me for the offense just now." ”

"What the hell is going on?"

Duan Shaoling confessed to them that all this was a plan that the four of them and Father Chen had come up with: Father Chen came forward to trick Li Chengjing into going up the mountain to collect medicine, and the people of the Sun Society had already been ambushed here, and after they caught Li Chengjing, Father Chen would trick Chen Zui up the mountain in the same way......

Chen Zui couldn't help but be a little angry, "Don't you think it's too much to play us like this?" ”

Duan Shaoling said solemnly: "It's you who is really excessive, you keep saying that you are not envious at first, but you put her last words behind you, and refuse to face your sincerity for your so-called guilt."

Do you know that your father's temples are white because of your affairs, but he is still afraid that you will feel uncomfortable and dare not persuade you, are you worthy of your father's kindness? ”

These words poked at Chen Zui's heart that he didn't dare to mention the most, and for a while, the past came to his heart, thinking of Leng Chuxian, thinking of his father, and ...... just now

He turned around and hugged Li Chengjing tightly, at this moment, his heart was completely released, and then the two hugged each other tightly......

The next day, Duan Xue and the two became close with the blessing of everyone.

On the second day of the wedding, Chen Zui and Li Chengjing announced that the two were going to be together, and everyone was happy, and Daddy Chen was even more anxious to pick a date for them to get married.

Chen Zui bluntly said that he and Leng Chuxian already had the name of husband and wife, and the marriage would have to wait for another two years, so Father Chen had to agree.

On the sixth day of the first lunar month, Chen and Li came to Leng Chuxian's tomb, Chen Zui shook Li Chengjing's hand and told Leng Chuxian: "I'm with Chengjing, you will definitely bless us, right?" ”

Li Chengjing said: "Yes, because Chu Xian has been watching us from the sky." ”

Under the sun, they seemed to see Leng Chuxian showing a blessed smile!
