Chapter 236: Only One Wife
Because of the happy event, there was a joyful atmosphere everywhere in Sikong Mansion, and most of the guests knew each other, and they gathered in groups to chat and laugh. The people in the house also shuttled through the crowd, constantly busy.
Yuan Quanquan and Meditation Cultivators chose the most hidden corner, sat at the table and looked at the crowd around them, talking as they watched.
"Tsk, this pomp is quite big, worthy of being the lord of a city!" Jieya grabbed a handful of melon seeds on the table, and his eyes slipped around while knocking.
Although this Yanbo City also has the official office of the local steward, this city was originally not under the control of the imperial court, and the entire city belonged to the city lord. The specific reason for this outsider is naturally not clear, but he only knows that the affairs of the rivers and lakes in Yanbo City are still managed by the city lord, while other matters are handed over to the officials.
The current city lord Sikong Yi is still a decent man, but there is one thing that people don't agree with, that is, he is extremely favored. Sikong Yi is old enough to have a daughter, and his wife died in childbirth in order to give birth to this daughter, in order to make up for it, Sikong Yi is extremely fond of this daughter, basically she gives whatever she wants, and obeys in every way. Fortunately, although this Miss Sikong is a little pampered, she is not a bad-hearted girl, and she occasionally has some willful requests, which are also harmless trivial things.
Only this time, she fell in love with Bai Yan, and Bai Yan rejected her, so she forcibly tied someone to marry her. In order to satisfy his daughter, Sikong Yi also turned a blind eye to her behavior and did not stop it.
At this moment, the wedding has been planned, and the guests have also come to the door, most of them are people from the rivers and lakes, and only a small part of them are eating official food.
They hadn't seen Sikong Yi in the Yuan Circle, but through observation, they basically determined that the middle-aged man in an ochre-colored robe in the center of the lobby was him.
Sikong Yi was about fifty years old, with a sturdy figure, tall and burly, and at this time his red face was full of energy, and he was smiling and receiving visitors from all over the world.
"Hey, do you say that this Sikong City Lord tied up young men and forced him to marry for the sake of his daughter, so he was not afraid that he would fall into a bad reputation and be disgraced by the people of Yanbo City from now on?" Yuan Quanquan also grabbed a handful of melon seeds and knocked them up with a rattle.
"Who knows! Maybe people don't care. Jieya knocked the melon seeds for a while, couldn't help but take out the life and death book and flipped it over, looked at it casually and then took it back, but didn't say anything.
The city lord's mansion is quite large, and there are hundreds of people in just one front yard, and there are dozens of tables on the wine table for the wedding banquet, which is especially spacious.
It is precisely because of the large number of people that the Yuan Circle can go unnoticed by their group of uninvited people.
They sat quietly in the corner, waited for a while, and seeing that it was still early, Yuan Quanquan asked Jieya, Qi Dui, and Xiao Zhi to sit here and watch, and she and Shen Xiu went to the small attic to see Bai Yan's situation.
The front yard is bustling with people, but the small attic is much quieter.
The sky has slowly darkened, the attic has been lit up, and the corridor on the second floor is probably for the occasion, and a circle of red lanterns has also been hung, which adds a touch of festivity.
It's just that the people in the attic are in a completely unmatched mood.
Miss Sikong, as tonight's bride, is not here at this time, she should be dressed up in her own boudoir at the moment, waiting to marry the man she likes tonight and become his wife. This side of the attic is still the same as during the day, and there are guards arranged outside, watching the groom officer tonight.
The Yuan Circle and the Meditation Cultivator did not eavesdrop outside the door this time, but went directly into the house.
Bai Yan looked at the two strangers who suddenly appeared, startled.
"You ...... Who is it? What do you want to do? Bai Yan sat at the table, and on the bed behind him was the wedding dress sent by Miss Sikong that he saw in the Yuan circle during the day, and it was still folded well, and it was estimated that Bai Yan had not touched it since he brought it in.
took a step forward and smiled gently: "Hello, you don't have to be nervous, we are not bad people." We...... Uh, it's here to save you. ”
Bai Yan looked her and the meditation cultivator up and down with vigilant eyes, and doubted, "Who are you?" Why save me? ”
"It doesn't matter who we are, what matters is whether you want to get out of here or not?"
Although the two people in front of him are unknown, they have been trapped here for a long time at this time, and the Miss Sikong insists on forcing him to marry her and marry her tonight. Although he knows some kung fu, he is not the opponent of the guards outside the door at all, and he will never be able to escape by himself. He has only Xiao Han in his heart, except for her in this life, he will not marry another woman as his wife, if he breaks his promise, he would rather cut himself off and accompany Xiao Han below.
“…… Think. ”
Looking at the two people in front of him with anticipation, Bai Yan now desperately hopes that the other party can take him out as soon as possible, and he can also hear the lively movement in the front yard here, plus the wedding dress on the bed, which makes him uneasy at the moment.
Yuan Quanquan saw his anxiety, but he didn't take him out immediately, but asked a question: "Do you love Miss Xiaohan very much?" ”
Hearing Xiao Han's name, Bai Yan was stunned suddenly, and his eyes looking at the Yuan Circle were even more puzzled, "How do you know ......" only half of the question was asked and then stopped abruptly.
Half of the people in Yanbo City know about him and Xiao Han.
Xiao Han unfortunately drowned, and he made a vow since then that he will never marry a wife again in this life, and his wife is only Xiao Han.
Others call him stupid and say that he is brainless, only he knows how important Xiaohan is to him. If it weren't for taking care of his seriously ill sister, it was very likely that he would have gone with Xiaohan.
"Xiaohan is the only wife in my life, and I love her more than life."
Bai Yan's expression was bitter and sweet when he said this, his eyes showed a thick longing, and after he finished speaking, he seemed to be caught in a certain memory, and a light smile appeared on his face.
The white back seen in the moat appeared in the Yuan Circle's mind, and he thought: Is that Xiaohan girl also reluctant to leave because she loves this young man too much?
For the time being, he didn't tell the other party about Miss Xiaohan's soul, and the Yuan Circle decided to take people away from here first, and then wait to see if Miss Xiaohan would appear.
The two of them looked at each other, and there was no need to say anything more, and the meditation would understand what she meant.
I saw that the cultivator raised his hand, and a stream of black qi flowed out from his fingers, and he rushed towards Bai Yan's face. Bai Yan had just come into contact with the black qi, his expression was stagnant, his eyes immediately became blank, and the whole person was sluggish.
Yuan Quanquan was stunned for a moment before he understood what was going on, and hurriedly urged the meditation cultivator to leave here quickly.
Shen Xiu lowered his eyes and hooked his lips at her, smiled helplessly, grabbed her waist, and disappeared in place in an instant, even with Bai Yan.
When they reappeared, it was the same table they had sat at earlier. Afraid that Bai Yan would be discovered, the meditation cultivator simply cast a blinding method on him, and in the eyes of others at this time, Bai Yan was just an ordinary-looking young man, and he couldn't see his original appearance at all.
Jieya and Qi Dui could naturally see through this simple trick and recognize who he was. But Xiao Zhi and Xiang'er looked at this strange man suspiciously, and asked Yuan Quanquan in a low voice: "Miss, who is this person?" ”
Yuan Quanquan blinked mysteriously: "You'll know in a while." ”
The sun has completely set, night falls, the lights are lit up in the Sikong Mansion, a festive time, the auspicious time is almost here, the guests are seated, are waiting for the wedding to begin.
Because Bai Yan's family conditions and the fact that this wedding was proposed by the woman, the number of ceremonies is slightly different from the inherent wedding, but the Sikong City Lord is from the rivers and lakes, and he is not informal, so he will not care about this.
The dozens of tables in the entire front yard were almost full, and in the hall of the front yard, Sikong Yigao sat in the first place, ordering the wedding to begin.
As a result, as soon as he finished giving the order, a subordinate ran over in a panic and whispered in his ear, and some guests who were close to him found that Sikong Yi's face changed suddenly after listening to the report of the subordinate.
"What do you say? People are gone? ”
Although they were far away, with the cultivation of meditation, he naturally heard the conversation between the subordinate and Sikong Yi clearly. Raising one eyebrow, he glanced at Bai Yan who was sitting next to him, he was still controlled by the spell of meditation, his expression was still dull, and he sat quietly, like a wooden man.
At this distance, it is a bit difficult for the Yuan Circle to eavesdrop. But even if she couldn't hear it, just by looking at Sikong Yi's expression, she could guess what the next person was talking about.
Tut-tut, there is no groom's wedding, see what they have to do.
Sikong Yi just got the news that the groom was missing, and Sikong Mi, who was preparing to go to the front yard hall, also raised his face in shock, and his foot that had just stepped out of the door paused suddenly: "What? Ran away? ”
The guards in the mansion who came to report the news lowered their heads and said, "...... Yes, the subordinates listened to the fact that there was no sound in the house for a long time, and they were afraid that something would happen to Bai Gongzi, so they wanted to go in and take a look...... People disappear inexplicably. ”
"Can a big living person disappear in vain? What do you eat? I can see that everyone is gone! A bunch of rubbish! ”
Sikong Mi was so angry that she flicked her wide sleeves and walked quickly to the small attic.
Except for a set of wedding clothes on the bed, there was still the figure of the man in the whole room, and the doors and windows were closed, and there were people guarding the doors, so it stands to reason that he couldn't escape anyway, but the person was gone.
Sikong Mi stood on the side of the bed, staring at the wedding dress and gritting her teeth, "Go find it for me!" The person must still be in the house, and he must bring the person back to Miss Ben! ”
"Yes!"
The next people went to find someone, and only Sikong Mi and her stickers were left in the house. Body ring.
"Xiaohuan, you say, does he hate me so much? I'm like this, but he still doesn't want to marry me, I really like him! ”
Xiaohuan stood aside, and for a while she didn't know whether to persuade her to give up, or to scold Bai Yan for not knowing each other, and her expression was tangled and she didn't know how to speak.
"I know he has other women in his heart, but they're all dead! He's still so young, he can't be lonely for the sake of a dead man all his life, right? The woman named Xiaohan is just a civilian woman, is she as beautiful as me? Is it so good to have me? Why can't he just look at me? ”
"Miss......"
"I don't care, I like him, I have to get him! No matter where he flees, I will definitely get him back and let him marry me willingly! ”
Sikong Mi seemed to be talking to Xiaohuan, and it seemed to be saying it to herself, and after she finished speaking, she shook her head, turned around and prepared to leave the attic and go to her future husband.
However, as soon as she turned around, a drop of water suddenly "clicked" and fell on her forehead.
She paused slightly, looked up, and looked out the window with a puzzled face, it hasn't rained yet, where does this water come from?
Just as she was casually wiping the water from her forehead and preparing to continue walking, there was a clear sound of "dripping" water falling on the floor suddenly sounded in her ears.
She looked around the room, but still found nothing, but the sound of water droplets in her ears was getting louder and louder, and it felt like it was coming closer to her, closer and closer, closer and closer......
