When the first rays of morning light poured down through the clear sky, the faint mist that shrouded all parts of Hanzhong City soon began to dilute and gradually dissipate. In mid-to-late November, the late autumn is gradually gone, the morning breeze is slightly cool, the people in thickened clothes are already busy putting up lanterns, most of the streets of Hanzhong City are festive and peaceful, plastered with big red happy characters and lanterns, and even the billboards and station billboards of many buildings have published the news of the marriage of Zhang Liu's two families.

The northwest is vast and sparsely populated, how can it be rare? Hanzhong, for example, covers an area of nearly 30,000 square kilometers, but has a population of less than four million. However, Guangzhou and Zhouzhou are only more than 7,000 square kilometers, but their population is 15 million, almost four times more than that of Hanzhong.

Of course, Guangzhou and Zhou are first-tier cities, not to mention the degree of prosperity, and it is reasonable that there are large foreign populations; However, Hanzhong is only a fifth-tier city, except for some major urban areas, counties, towns, townships and other places are almost surrounded by mountains, and it is extremely difficult to develop, which is also the main reason why only three cities in the northwest with an area of 3.2 million square kilometers and more than 30 cities have opened subways.

"Brother Li, where do you yearn for more?"

While eating at the restaurant, Lu Li poured Li Changjing a glass of beer and asked.

"I yearn for Jiangnan." Li Changjing smiled slightly, "I like the water towns in the south of the Yangtze River, the stone arch bridges, the winding paths paved with blue bricks, the women holding oil-paper umbrellas, the old black tile houses, and the turquoise river ...... There are also those weeping willows by the river, as if everything is very soft and fascinating. ”

Lu Li nodded, "Jiangnan is good, the scenery is old." ”

Li Changjing raised his cup, "The sunrise river flowers are red, and the river water is as green as blue in spring." ”

"Can you remember Jiangnan?" Lu Li also raised his glass and touched it with Li Changjing, and the two drank all the wine in the cup.

Look at each other and smile.

After eating, the two returned to the hotel, simply packed their luggage, put on the masks that Du Ruolin had prepared for them, and turned into two brothers, Chen Sanyuan and Chen Sixi.

After that, I changed my clothes and disguised my voice until I could no longer see the traces of the original, and I was satisfied.

At noon, Li Changjing called Du Ruolin and said that he and Lu Li planned to go to the wedding by themselves, so they would not go with her. Du Ruolin said hello and told them to pay more attention to safety.

At the end of the chat, Li Changjing casually asked, where is there a repair jewelry shop in the city?

Du Ruolin asked what kind of jewelry was being restored, gold, silver, or jade? Li Changjing replied that it was jade.

So Du Ruolin gave him an address, saying that this shop was opened by the Yang family of Chengtianfu, selling a very magical potion, which can seamlessly connect the broken jade and restore it as before, without the slightest trace of the fracture, that is, it is a little far away, on the outskirts of the city, and it takes almost three hours to drive back and forth.

Li Changjing looked at the time and found that it was already more than eleven o'clock in the afternoon, so without saying a word, he took a car and went straight to the store, which took more than three hours, and rushed back at about half past two in the afternoon.

Without further ado, Li Changjing and Lu Li came to the wedding venue at three o'clock according to the instructions on the invitation.

I have to say that a fifth-tier city like Hanzhong cannot be compared with Daye City at all, and the wedding venue is in the Zhangjia compound in the city center.

As a well-known big family in the entire Northwest, the building of the Zhang family can be regarded as relatively magnificent, with more than ten small villas, auditoriums, artificial lakes, and martial arts training grounds, especially the large courtyard in front of the main house, which is very spacious, almost the size of two football fields, and is full of guests' cars.

The most striking thing is the thick wall that surrounds the entire Zhang family, two stories high, nearly one meter thick, made of boxy boulders, and there are sentry posts on the city wall, and there are guards walking around patrolling on it, very vigilant.

Of course, I have seen the resplendor of the Huo family, the park-style villas of the Xu family, and the Wang family's construction against the mountains, and the Zhang family is already shabby.

Li Changjing and Lu Li showed the invitation at the door, but their identities were not recognized, and they entered the venue smoothly.

I have to say that the Zhang family is indeed heavily guarded today, in addition to a large number of sentinels on the fence, there are patrolling security personnel everywhere in the courtyard, Li Changjing and Lu Li were about to follow the flow of people to the living room, but they saw a woman wearing a long red dress, blocking their way.

Li Changjing was taken aback, although this young woman looked ordinary, this familiar outfit, and the lengthy aura, as well as the proud posture of clasping his hands and holding his chin, still made him recognize the identity of this woman at a glance.

"Xu Huairou? Didn't you say you were going to settle some personal matters, why did you come here? Li Changjing's face was a little unsightly, and his intuition told him that it would be no good to meet this woman at this moment.

Sure enough, Xu Huairou, who also wore a mask, sneered: "The surname is Li, it seems that you don't like to see Miss Ben?" What, come in here to rob the marriage? You look at me with that nasty look again, believe it or not that I'm revealing your identity? ”

"You're crazy!" Li Changjing walked up and said in a low voice, "What do you want?" At times like these, you must not mess around. ”

Xu Huairou smiled slightly and patted her slender shoulder, "If you don't want to be exposed, just do what I say honestly, and rub Miss Ben's shoulders first." ”

Li Changjing was a little angry, but with Xu Huairou's character, if he annoyed her, he would really do anything, and when the heavens and men were fighting for a while, he still chose to compromise, obediently came behind her, and rubbed his shoulders for her.

"Let's go, Miss Ben will take you to see a good show." Xu Huairou pointed forward, walked forward unhurriedly, and took Li Changjing and Lu Li to a large auditorium.

The three of them found a place in the corner and sat down, and soon a few young girls brought up a lot of melon and fruit snacks on a tray for the guests to enjoy. The whole auditorium was very lively, the guests were eating a variety of food, talking and laughing, many people spoke the local dialect of Shaanxi, Li Changjing didn't understand it very well, and Lu Li gave him a commentary.

Since coming in, the mobile phone signal has been blocked, and it should be that the Zhang family sent someone to prepare a signal jammer to prevent the wedding scene from being transmitted to the Internet.

Li Changjing finished rubbing Xu Huairou's shoulder, and was called to the side to beat her legs, like a dog's legs.

After a while, I heard a burst of firecrackers outside, and a master of ceremonies stood at the door and shouted, "Welcome to the bride and groom!" ”

The whole auditorium suddenly became noisy, and the guests stood up and scrambled to look outside.

In the innermost two positions, there are two middle-aged men in their early fifties, one with an extremely long beard, a thin body, blind in one right eye, sitting upright, with his eyes closed; The other is tall and magnificent, even if he is over half a hundred years old, he is still handsome and extraordinary, with sword eyebrows and starry eyes, the only fly in the ointment is that his lips are thin, slightly pursed, and with that sharp gaze, he is very fierce.

"The man with a long beard and blind eyes is the current head of the Zhang family, named Zhang Juran; Another person with extraordinary bearing is the head of the Liu family, Liu Zhengting. Lu Li quietly explained to Li Changjing.

Xu Huairou glanced at him and said unexpectedly: "I didn't expect you to know a lot, so do you know who that person is?" She pointed to a thin old man in his sixties who sat inconspicuously in the crowd across from her.

"Naturally, I know, that one is the famous forging master Yang Jingtian, who is now the master of Chengtian Mansion." Lu Li lowered his head and said with sincere admiration: "The forging skills of Yang's predecessors are unparalleled in the world, and I was fortunate to experience his forging skills with my father when I was young, which is really amazing and breathtaking." ”

Li Changjing raised his eyebrows, and couldn't help but look at the old man a few more times, and found that this blacksmith who was famous in the entire northwest was so inconspicuous and ordinary, just like an elderly farmer in the countryside, with dark skin, except for his deep eyes and elegant manners, there was nothing too special about it. And it's unbelievable that such a famous person would sit with ordinary guests.

"Yes, people who can recognize Yang Jingtian at a glance are generally not simple." Xu Huairou glanced at Lu Li again, the corners of her mouth were hooked, and her face was a little meaningful.

"Look, the bride and groom are in." Lu Li pointed to the door and reminded.

Li Changjing's heart tightened, looked in the direction of the gate, and sure enough, he saw Zhang Qilin wearing the groom's official uniform, with an indifferent smile on his face, and walked inside.

Beside Zhang Qilin was a tall bride wearing a red cheongsam, covered with a red hijab, and she couldn't see clearly.

But from her familiar and proud figure and amazingly white skin, Li Changjing still recognized it at a glance.

It's the sweetheart I'm thinking about all the time, every minute and every second.
