Section 10 Barricades

Today is the day of Ning Wangfu's marriage, as early as yesterday, the long street outside the door of Ning Wangfu was full of red lanterns and ribbons, and the courtyard was sprinkled and decorated, waiting for the arrival of the hostess. Although he is a noble son of the heavenly family, the bride is the daughter of one of the five major families - Fanyang Lu's family, even if it is a royal family, she can't be lazy, so before dawn, Li Xian, the king of Ning, went out of the mansion and went to the prime minister's mansion to pick up his relatives in person.

As soon as King Ning left the house, there were palace guards lined up on both sides of the long street, one was to prepare to maintain order, and the other was to be on alert early to ensure that His Royal Highness King Ning and his hostess returned to the house safely and smoothly.

As the sun got higher and higher, more and more people came to watch, and finally, in the anticipation of everyone, a burst of joy sounded from far and near, and a long procession of red and green surrounded a sedan chair decorated with red curtains. At the front of the car was Li Xian, the king of Ning, riding a white horse.

Since Li Xian returned home from the dock, this son of the Tianjia family, who did not often appear because of his poor health and long-term illness in the past few years, has become one of the most frequently mentioned Langjun in the boudoir chatter of many girls in Chang'an City, especially when he smiled gently at the woman in the car that day, and after several performances, he entered the spring dreams of countless women. And now the person in their dreams is about to marry a wife, and they are about to become someone else's husband, which made countless women have a sleepless dream the night before, and they came early this morning to prepare to see Li Xian for the last time before he got married.

The deafening sound of firecrackers and gongs and drums sounded from the end of the street to the gate of Ning Wangfu, in this noisy joy, the sedan chair slowly stopped at the gate of Ning Wangfu, and at this time, the bride behind the dowry was carried into the gate of the palace like a stream. There are good deeds as soon as they lift and count, there are one hundred and twenty-eight lifts, not only that, but the servants who carry the dowry walk heavily, it can be seen that each dowry box is tightly stuffed, and it is said that from a few days ago King Ning just came back from the palace, the moment he received the holy decree, the dowry of the Lu family began to be sent to the palace of King Ning, and now with the bride, only a part of it, which shows the importance that the Lu family attaches to this eldest daughter.

After all the dowry was sent to the palace gate, Li Qi jumped off his horse, and the attendant next to him immediately handed him a longbow and an arrow with an arrow drawn and covered with red satin. The bow and arrow started, Li Xian tried the bowstring, and then the arrow was put on and full. As he let go of the bowstring, the arrow flew out with a "whoosh", and then with a "thud", it hit the car door.

With a burst of applause from the surroundings, the matchmaker immediately stepped forward and opened the car door, and at this time, Li Xian also arrived in front of the car, lifted the curtain with his own hands, and helped the bride down from the car.

At this time, the road from the carriage to the palace and even the new house was already covered with red felt, and a brazier was placed in the middle of the felt at the gate. As soon as the bride got out of the car, someone immediately handed the red silk tied with hydrangeas to Li Xian and the bride, and asked them to hold one end, and then Li Xian was in front, slowly leading the bride and walking towards the gate of the palace.

The sound of firecrackers, gongs and drums sounded louder at this moment, and the sound of joy was also played again at this time, which was deafening, and the surrounding crowd immediately resounded one after another cheers, and the outside of King Ning's mansion became a sea of joy and blessings.

Holding his bride slowly towards the door, Li Xian was also full of joy, but seeing that the two of them arrived at the gate, he was about to help his bride cross the brazier and enter the mansion, but he heard a voice behind the couple: "Wait a minute, His Royal Highness King Ning, are you really sure that the ...... you are holding in your hands now"

However, before the voice could finish speaking, someone shouted: "There is an assassin, take it!" ”

With this voice, more than a dozen guards dressed as guests poured out from all directions and rushed towards the person who made the sound.

The man who spoke out was also very skilled, although he was surrounded by these dozen people, he was not immediately caught by them, and as a puff of black smoke dispersed, the guards who rushed towards him immediately let out a violent coughing sound and fell to the ground one by one.

This situation surprised everyone, no one expected that someone would be bold enough to take advantage of King Ning's wedding to assassinate at the gate of King Ning's mansion, but at this time, he heard a voice shouting loudly: "What are you doing in a daze, don't you hurry up to protect Lord Ning, dare to assassinate King Ning, there is no mercy!" ”

As soon as he finished speaking, more guards suddenly rushed out of the buildings on both sides of the street and rushed towards the assassin.

And this time, as another puff of black smoke poured out of the sky, although some of the guards fell, as everyone went forward, someone finally rushed to the front of the assassin.

I don't know who shouted "His poison is gone", so with this voice, another group of guards rushed out of the crowd.

However, although this man did not spill poisonous smoke again, the guards only narrowed the encirclement a little, but the assassin took out a soft sword out of nowhere and protected his body impenetrable, still making people unapproachable.

It happened suddenly, and the newlyweds who were about to cross the threshold also stopped, the bride had a hijab to cover her head, and she didn't know what was happening, and King Ning saw everything in her eyes from beginning to end. It's just that, although he has already recognized who it is, looking at the chaos in front of him, there is no expression on his face, just standing quietly in place, as if all this has nothing to do with him.

Not only that, but he was probably a little anxious because he hadn't been able to cross the threshold for a long time, and a trace of impatience flashed on Li Xian's face, and he couldn't help urging: "Why can't you enter the door yet?" ”

The prime minister on the side was stunned for a moment, then came back to his senses and said loudly: "Yes, yes! The newcomer entered the door, the jade phoenix raised her feet and stepped into the brazier, hiding on both sides of the fierce and evil, and she was happy to fall from the sky to the blessed nest......"

As soon as he was halfway through his words, he suddenly heard a small voice from the guests on the side: "Li Xian, is the person you want to marry really her?" ”

This voice is not loud, if it doesn't sound next to him, it won't be noticed at all, but it is this small voice that makes Li Xian, who was in a hurry to take the bride into the door just now, suddenly stunned, and then, he slowly turned his head and looked to the side.

At this time, the face sank, and he pointed at a woman and shouted: "There is also a female assassin here, kill her!" ”

At his voice, some of the guards stopped besieging the previous assassin and rushed towards the woman.

Seeing these people rushing towards her, the woman's hand clutched a pack of poisonous cigarettes tightly but refused to spill it out, but stared at Li Xian and shouted in her loudest voice: "Li Xian! Li Qi! I'm Lu Youyou! Are you really sure that the person you're going to marry is the woman next to you? If you say yes, I'll be gone, never to come back!" ”
