Chapter Eighty-Three: Long Jie Comes to Xuancheng
Except for Jia Qianqian and Fang Gu, everyone in the martial arts arena was shocked, especially Nie Wuzheng.
Although Mu Sichen is not good-looking, he is calm, has a good temperament, and has a prominent family background, he is the grandson of Elder Mu, and what does it matter if a man is ugly, so there are still some girls who want to marry him, but he openly proposed to Jia Qianqian, an outsider who has no power position, and who has no appearance of the country and the city, and also behaves as an alternative woman, which is still beyond everyone's expectations.
After Nie Wuzheng was shocked, he blurted out: "No! You can't propose to her! β
Fang Gu, who had changed into a simple and elegant lilac gauze dress and came back, asked loudly in the audience, "Why?" Why can't my brother propose to her? β
Nie Wuzheng naturally couldn't say that Jia Qianqian was the person he wanted to propose, so he had to find another reason, "Miss Jia has a special identity. β
Fang Gu pressed step by step, "What the young master means is that Jia Qianqian is a foreigner, so my brother can't marry her, does that mean that she can't marry someone from Xuancheng in the future?" β
These words suddenly forced Nie Wuzheng into a corner, if he said yes, then he would not be able to marry Jia Qianqian in the future, if he said no, then he would have no reason to stop. In fact, there are also people in Xuancheng who marry out, and some people who marry in, although this situation is very rare, but it is not nothing, for example, Lu Dong'er's mother remarried to the Qi State, and the mother of Nie Kaiping, the head of the inner city defense, is the daughter of a prince in the Khotanese State.
Nie Wuzheng was speechless, and suddenly remembered that Jia Qianqian had the right to refuse, as long as she was unwilling, then there would be nothing, and immediately said: "Miss Jia was originally just a guest, since Brother Si Chen proposed to her, that's fine, as long as she agrees." Nie Wuzheng confidently thought that Jia Qianqian would never agree to a strange man's marriage proposal.
However, the shock happened again, when everyone's eyes were focused on Jia Qianqian, Jia Qianqian's expression was calm, and he said clearly: "I agree to his marriage proposal!" β
This time, Nie Wuzheng was really like being struck by lightning, his face was pale, and he was stunned for a while before he asked uncertainly, "Qianqian, are you joking?" β
"No, I'm not kidding." Although his words were clear and calm, Jia Qianqian's heart was already overturned. People are not plants and trees, who can be ruthless? Nie Wuzheng's kindness to her and her feelings for her, she didn't feel it, but she knew that Xuancheng would not be her final destination.
Nie Wuzheng didn't have any reason to stop it, he stood there blankly, he never expected that Jia Qianqian would agree to a strange man's marriage proposal, this really didn't look like Jia Qianqian's character? At this time, remorse filled the whole body, and if I knew this, I should have proposed to her earlier.
Mu Sichen had already stepped down from the stage and handed the golden flower to Jia Qianqian, officially announcing the relationship between the two fiancΓ©es. Everyone in the arena was silent, and no one opened their mouths to bless them. The pale face of the young master and the dejected situation made them unable to say words of blessing. Although no one wanted the young master to marry Jia Qianqian, when Jia Qianqian really agreed to marry someone else, and the young master's hopes were disappointed, they were all unhappy, very contradictory, but it was the mood at this time.
If both parties agree, then from that moment on, the two must play in pairs on the martial arts arena to announce the relationship between the two, and at the same time, they can only watch the excitement and cannot participate in any games.
Although Jia Qianqian was very playful, she didn't have any interest in watching the excitement at this time, and Nie Wuzheng's loss of soul made her suddenly feel guilty, as if she had betrayed him and done something sorry for him. Under the pretext of having a headache, he smiled apologetically at Mu Sichen, and left the martial arts arena in a hurry with the golden flower.
She left, Mu Sichen also breathed a sigh of relief, she only agreed to her sister to act in this scene for the sake of brother and sister love and consideration for Xuancheng's future, if the two continued to stay together, I don't know how embarrassing it would be.
Not long after Jia Qianqian returned, Nie Wuzheng broke in. Jia Qianqian sat at the table, holding the golden flower in his hand, but he was wandering outside the world. Nie Wuzheng, who was excited, rushed over, pressed her shoulders, and forced his eyes on her: "Tell me, this is not true!" You're just playful, right? You don't like him at all, do you? β
Nie Wuzheng's gaze full of pain, eagerness, disbelief and anticipation made Jia Qianqian almost surrender, and he couldn't help but tell him the truth, but reason prevailed over emotion after all.
Taking a deep breath, Jia Qianqian tried to say in a steady tone: "I want to find someone to marry, and it just so happened that he proposed, so I agreed, it's as simple as that!" β
Nie Wuzheng violently pulled her into his arms, buried his head in her neck, and said in a low but warm voice: "You can marry me!" I was looking for an opportunity to propose to you in public, why didn't you wait for me? Don't you understand my feelings for you? β
Jia Qianqian was shocked, it wasn't that she didn't feel it, when Nie Wuzheng really said it, it still gave her a huge impact, this man turned out to really like himself!
However, the fake show has already begun, is this the end of it? And, do you really love him in your heart? Are you really willing to marry him and spend your life with him? Suddenly, Shangguan Lei's figure appeared, and even the ruffian-like Long Jie, who was inseparable from good and evil, also came to his heart. Perhaps, it's really time to think deeply about your future.
Jia Qianqian suddenly pushed Nie Wuzheng away, and said in a complicated mood: "I'm tired and want to take a break, you go out first." β
Nie Wuzheng looked at this girl who made him puzzled in a daze, Jia Qianqian, what are you thinking in your heart? Am I really not in your heart at all? Or do you actually like Shangguan Lei? So why would you say yes to a marriage proposal from a strange man?
watched in a daze as Qianqian walked into the inner room, put down the curtains, and isolated each other, and for a long time, he slowly left with floating feet.
Jia Qianqian threw herself on the bed, recalling the happy and carefree life in Anyang City, and suddenly there was an irrepressible homesickness, thinking of her parents, thinking of those gangsters in Anyang City, thinking of the children of the Salesian Bureau, thinking of Shangguan Lei, thinking of Brother Xu who had not been married for a long time, and even thinking of that ruffian-like Long Jie.
Coming to Xuancheng was originally forced, and he didn't belong here in the first place, so there was nothing to hesitate about leaving. But why, when I thought of Nie Wuzheng, I felt a heartache again? The young man who took on the heavy responsibility prematurely and was lonely and lonely in his heart unconsciously also occupied a piece of territory in his heart!
The matter has come to this point, there is no turning back from the bow, continue to perform the fake show, leave Xuancheng, and there will be no more harassment brought by the jade chapter, maybe, you can live back to the happy days in the past!
The next day, Xuancheng, which had been closed for a day, resumed its usual hustle and bustle, and traders from all over the world began to line up to register for entry into Xuancheng with their goods.
Long Jie wore a hat, wore a coarse cloth shirt, pushed a cart of high-quality brocade, and slowly followed behind Boss Yang, a silk merchant. This Boss Yang is the spy arranged by Emperor Yongan of the Dayan Kingdom in Xuancheng. Xuancheng's vigilance is extraordinary, merchants from other places can only trade goods in it and have fun for a few days, if they stay for a long time, they will immediately provoke their interrogation. So Boss Yang had to keep going in and out of Xuancheng with goods. After a long time, these people in the base camp who guarded the city gate also got to know him, and they only made routine registrations to him, without interrogating him in detail.
But today he had a new man, and the guards took the two of them to the registered room to check the records.
Boss Yang said to the registered leader with a smiling face: "The original guy was sick, so I found a novice, his name is Ajie, he is very honest and diligent. β
Long Jie took off his hat, pretending to be sincerely scared and had never seen the world, and asked the registered person to record his appearance and characteristics. At this time, Long Jie secretly sighed in his heart that Xuancheng's defense was so strict, no wonder it could be entrenched here for decades.
Although Long Jie was dressed as a complete man, his handsome appearance and noble temperament that could not be hidden still made the registered leader frown and look at him carefully for a long time. It wasn't until Long Jie deliberately blew his nose rudely and made a few indecent gestures that the leader waved them out and could enter the city.
Long Jie, who had just arrived in Xuancheng, was also dazzled by the dazzling array of alien goods, and Boss Yang whispered on the side: "I have to work hard for the master to push the goods to the place where his subordinates usually trade, and when the business is done, you can go to hang out." β
Long Jie said with a smile: "This Xuancheng's vigilance is really not ordinary strict, it seems that it is really difficult for me to complete the task." β
Boss Yang said in a low voice: "My subordinates have already bought off the owner of a restaurant, and he has a good relationship with the leaders of the guards who manage the inner city, so I'll ask him later if he has collected any useful information." β
Long Jie snorted, and continued to push the goods hard, thinking that Qianqian was in this city, and his heart was excited again. Alas! I wonder what happened to her now? That Nie Wuzheng, shouldn't be willing to hurt her, right?
After Boss Yang successfully traded the goods at a slightly lower price than his peers, Long Jie couldn't wait for him to take him to the restaurant owner.
All the long-term industries in Xuancheng, restaurants, gambling houses, green buildings, inns, etc., are opened by people in the base camp. Anyway, Boss Yang just asked him to collect some movements and news in the inner city, as well as some major events that happened in the base camp, and these tasks were not difficult to do.
Boss Yang led Long Jie to a small private room in Yipinxiang Restaurant, and not long after he sat down, Boss Lu, who was in his forties, with a shrewd face and a mouse beard, came in.
Boss Yang introduced Long Jie to him, only saying that he was his own person, and did not reveal his name and identity. Boss Lu didn't ask, so he took the initiative to introduce the situation in Xuancheng in the past few days.
Long Jie suddenly asked, "Do you know that your young master brought back a girl named Jia Qianqian?" β
Boss Lu smiled, "Everyone in Xuancheng knows it, that girl was hanged overnight by Lu Dong'er, the most delicate eldest lady in our Lu family, as soon as she came, causing the young master to search for her whereabouts throughout the city, and I was also interrogated several times that night." β
"Hung overnight?" Long Jie's heart tightened, and his expression changed.
"However, the next day, the young master avenged her, and even didn't give Elder Lu face, and hung Miss Lu all night with a tooth for a tooth, after this incident, everyone understood that this new foreign woman was not easy to mess with."
It turned out that Nie Wuzheng was protecting her like this, and Long Jie couldn't tell for a while whether he was relieved or lost.
Boss Nalu continued: "There is an even more shocking thing, just yesterday's Marriage Festival, that noble Mu Gongzi, who is the grandson of Elder Mu Mu, the most prestigious Elder Mu in the House of Elders, actually proposed to her in public yesterday. β
"Ahh Long Jie asked urgently, "What about later?" β
Later, Miss Najia agreed! So the noble son proposed to her, can she not agree? β
What Boss Nalu said later, Long Jie couldn't listen to it anymore, and there was only one thing in his mind, Jia Qianqian turned out to be someone else's fiancΓ©e again.
