23 Candles in the Cave
Ling Dongwu stepped back again, and bumped into Mu Zicheng's arms, Mu Zicheng took the opportunity to grab Ling Dongwu, held her hand tightly, and met Yi Zhikuo's gaze without fear: "Yi Zhikuo, thank you for saving Dong'er many times, but she is already my wife!" ”
"Get out of here! Stinky boy, King Ben Khan really regrets why he didn't cut you with a knife in Green Pearl City! ”
Ling Dongwu saw that Yi Zhikuo was such a heroic and reckless man, and at this time, there were tears on his hideous face, which made people dare not look at it, and they couldn't bear to look at it!
So he leaned into Mu Zicheng's arms again, looked at the sky that was gradually darkening, and said in a low voice: "The person I love is Mu Zicheng, he and I have decided to marry in a day, I won't go back with you, and you don't have to go all the way to find me with wishful thinking, you are your Khan King in Green Pearl City, burning, killing and plundering, doing whatever you want, how alive, don't think of me." Thank you for saving me many times before! ”
Yi Zhikuo heard Ling Dongwu say this, and couldn't help but take a step back, his eyes as if they were about to erupt fire: "You want to marry him, what about King Ben Khan?" Have you forgotten that we are a couple who have visited the church? ”
"Yi Zhikuo, you should know under what circumstances we worshipped at the beginning, I was completely coerced by you, and I have never seen you as a 'husband'! If the robbed women are all your wives, Yi Zhikuo, do you know how many wives you will have? You've rescued me many times before, and I'm so grateful that you saved me. But I can't marry you out of gratitude! I don't like you, I don't like you at all! Not only that, as soon as I see you, I will be afraid, and I will think of the most terrible nightmare in Green Pearl City, which is a thousand times more terrible than being beaten and scolded, you just let me go, don't haunt me, if you want me to go with you, I'd rather die right away......"
Yi Zhikuo was stunned by Ling Dongwu's words, Ling Dongwu's words and sentences, like the sharpest thin blade in the world, pierced into his whole body, leaving him covered in scaly wounds, blurred flesh and blood, and heartbroken in pain.
Although Yi Zhikuo was obsessed with Ling Dongwu, he was also a bloody man, and when he saw Ling Dongwu treating him like this, he stood up straight, and asked in a dumb voice: "Little fairy, do you mean that you will never return to King Ben Khan in this life?" ”
"That's right! I will never come back to you, no matter if you are coercing me or forcing me, I will never marry you, I would rather die than marry you! ”
Although Yi Zhikuo is a rough man, he also knows that there is no other point in stalking now than to make himself appear more humble. The people I have found through so much hard work have nothing of their own in their hearts.
Ling Dongwu said indifferently: "Yi Zhikuo, you go back to be your King of Xiaoyao Khan, marry a wife and have children, I don't want to see you in this life and this life!" ”
Yi Zhikuo stared at her with dead eyes, Ling Dongwu didn't know why, she felt that her eyes were blurry, she didn't dare to let Yi Zhikuo see the tears in her eyes, and turned her head to the side.
Mu Zicheng held her hand tightly, and for some reason, he was also very sad, and he didn't know if he was sad for Ling Dongwu, or for Yi Zhikuo, who had been born and died many times to rescue Ling Dongwu, how could this be a sentence that would never see each other from now on!
Yi Zhikuo sneered: "Why is the big husband without a wife!" Little fairy, don't think that King Ben Khan has to marry you, we have nothing to do with each other from now on! After Yi Zhikuo finished speaking, he laughed, turned around and strode towards the garden wall, although he received two swords from Ling Dongwu on his legs, his strong body was still like a sensitive tanuki, flying up the wall and disappearing in a blink of an eye.
No matter how tragic and miserable it is, it will not help after all, Ling Dongwu's ruthless and resolute words echoed in Yi Zhikuo's ears, and he didn't sit down on the ground until he ran out of the ground, his shoulders and thighs were already stained with blood, and he cried like a wild wolf in a desperate situation: "Little fairy, this king will never forgive you!" ”
Ling Dongwu couldn't say how sad she was when she saw Yi Zhikuo like this, but what could she do, Yi Zhikuo couldn't give what she wanted, so it was better to let him die early.
On the first day of October 16, the general's mansion in Mu Zicheng was full of lanterns, and the carved giant candles were burning with red flames. In front of the door, there are cars and horses, and guests are like clouds.
Today, Mu Zicheng and Ling Dongwu got married. On the day of the wedding, Ling Dongwu had to get on a sedan chair in the cross-courtyard of the General's Mansion, and then bypassed a street and carried it into the General's Mansion.
Ling Dongwu sat on the bed, looking at the delicate and intricate patterns on the red wedding dress, embroidered with mandarin duck lotus, which contrasted with each other, and the gold embroidered wedding dress was complex and exquisite, She smiled slightly, today, she really wants to be a bride, thinking of the red wedding dress given to her by Xiao Haotian in Wukou City; remembered the red wedding dress that Yi Zhikuo forced himself to wear in the Green Pearl City; Looking at the red wedding dress that Mu Zicheng prepared for himself in front of him, this time, he is really going to get married!
The three girls helped her put on the red wedding dress layer by layer, and finally the red Xia curtain, around the neck, draped on the chest, with a gold and jade pendant hanging at the lower end, and a heavy nine phoenix crown Xia curtain in her hair.
Until the dress stopped, Ling Dongwu stood up, spread her red sleeves, and looked at herself in a delicate and luxurious gold silk embroidered dress in the bronze mirror.
The maids looked at her with a smile on the side, and couldn't help but praise: "Miss, you are so beautiful!" ”
"Miss! Are you all dressed up? It's been a long time since I picked up my kiss! Outside the door, there was the urging voice of the mother-in-law.
"Alright, alright! Coming soon! ”
The colorful clothes lingered, the warbler was tactful, and the maids surrounded Ling Dongwu and walked on the sedan chair in the hustle and bustle.
Playing fine music, the sound of firecrackers is deafening, attracting countless onlookers along the way, and it is very lively.
Ling Dongwu sat in the sedan chair, listening to the noisy human voices, horses' hooves, drums, and firecrackers outside, the sedan chair walked steadily and steadily, and the sedan chair curtains embroidered with gold swayed slightly, as if rippling golden ripples, and all this seemed like a dream.
The sedan chair turned around, walked into the main gate of the general's mansion, Mr. Yin and Yang, who had been waiting for a long time, sang a happy song, sprinkled grain beans, and the matchmaker helped Ling Dongwu down from the sedan chair, Ling Dongwu stepped on the red felt ground that had been paved earlier, and someone held a bronze mirror in front of her, helping her to cross the brazier and introduce her into the mansion door.
Mu Zicheng was wearing a red wedding dress embroidered with gold today, a handsome face with an unconcealable smile, a dignified figure, a jade tree in the wind, his eyes looked at Ling Dongwu's big red tassel head cover through the sea of people, and his eyebrows were full of joy.
Most of the guests who came were powerful officials and businessmen, Xia Wenxuan and Song Chengxiang also came, sitting in the center, and the emperor also sent people of comparable status to come to congratulate.
The feast began at the auspicious time, and the sound of firecrackers was staggered, and everyone was immersed in this beautiful day. Eat and drink, talk and laugh.
There was a lot of noise in the happy hall, but in the cave room in the backyard of the general's mansion, it was quiet, full of joy with infinite spring love. Ling Dongwu wore a hijab, his heart was sweet, and he repeated Mu Zicheng's name over and over again.
After three glasses of wine, the bride was helped out of the room, Ling Dongwu looked out from the dense tassels under the Xipa, and could only see Mu Zicheng's big hand holding the red silk, and he only felt abnormally warm.
"Worship heaven and earth." The matchmaker sang loudly.
A couple does what they say.
"Two worship the high hall." After the salute, he sang again, "Husband and wife worship each other." ”
At this moment, I suddenly heard the sound of miscellaneous footsteps outside, and the unique shrill voice of the internal official, "The holy decree has arrived, Mu Zicheng has received the decree!" ”
When everyone in the hall saw the arrival of the holy decree, they immediately fell to their knees, Ling Dongwu was helped by the maid to kneel on the ground, and his heart jumped out, he had long known that the emperor would not let her and Mu Zicheng go easily, and he really came!
She listened to the meaning of the eunuch in a daze, the Eastern Xiongnu led the army to raid Nyingchi Mansion, and now it has broken through Nyingchi Mansion and attacked in the direction of Xining Mansion, the emperor ordered Mu Zicheng to immediately lead the army to set off, day and night to rescue Xining Mansion.
Although the wedding was forced to be interrupted, Ling Dongwu was relieved when he heard that he only asked Mu Zicheng to lead the troops to the battle, this news was relatively difficult for them, and it was still a lot better to not allow them to marry.
The military order was like a mountain, Ling Dongwu knew that Mu Zicheng could not be delayed for a moment, and was about to set off, reaching out to remove the hijab on his head, facing Mu Zicheng's helpless eyes.
"Brother Zicheng, I'll go with you too!" Ling Dongwu didn't care about the bride's etiquette, and took off the heavy phoenix crown on his head as he spoke.
"Dongwu, you can't set off with Zicheng this time for the time being!" Xia Wenxuan, who was sitting on the side, stood up and walked to Ling Dongwu's side.
Ling Dongwu was shocked and anxious: "Why? ”
"Dongwu, don't be impatient, you must know that you are also a six-rank official of the imperial court now, and all actions must be ordered by the emperor. The emperor has an edict handed down, the Nanzhao Kingdom has been in war for many years, the treasury is empty, and the food and salary of the Purple City Western Expedition have become a problem. The emperor knows that you are very capable of doing business, so the emperor ordered you to move into the household department, and from tomorrow onwards you will go down to inspect the shops in various places, expand the various commercial outlets of 'Ling Ji', increase taxes, and support the front line. ”
Ling Dongwu suddenly found that he had been "trapped" - he could no longer go into battle with Mu Zicheng and fight side by side.
However, for the emperor's arrangement, she couldn't find any loopholes, and she had no way to refute it.
"Okay, then let me pack up for Brother Zicheng!" Ling Dongwu said in a dry voice.
Xia Wenxuan knew that the two of them must have something to say, so they simply did it to the end, and gave Mu Zicheng a quarter of an hour to pack his luggage.
Mu Zicheng and Ling Dong danced a vigorous wedding, but they didn't expect such a dismal ending, the two were still wearing wedding clothes, but the smiles on their faces could not hide their sourness. Both of them knew that there was not much time left, so they walked hand in hand to the back room, intertwined their fingers, looked at each other from time to time, and smiled slightly. The more he walked to the back, Ling Dongwu's feet became softer and softer, as if he was stepping on the clouds with every step.
