Chapter 18: The Good Death (8)

There have been constant storms on the rivers and lakes, but it is the first time that the situation has happened like this in the past half a month.

First Wujiabao, then Wulin League, the two major forces in the rivers and lakes, one after another.

It's just that what happened in the Martial Arts League was good and bad, and it could be regarded as a mixed blessing.

is worried about the funeral - the wife of the leader of the martial arts alliance couldn't survive the tuberculosis for many years a few days ago, and finally left. It is said that it was a few days ago, but in fact, a few days after the fire in Wujiabao, it is said that part of the reason for the death of the wife of the alliance leader was also due to the disaster in Wujiabao - Wujiabao's wife was her playmate when she was not out of the cabinet, and the relationship between the two was very good, and I heard that the marriage contract between the two families was also made by the two ladies at the beginning.

is also based on this unexpected funeral, and this happy event of the leader of the martial arts alliance has become a lot more ironic - Zhuang Qianyuan is going to marry his successor wife.

As soon as the original partner left, the newcomer was about to enter the house, which was hard not to think, but no one dared to say a word.

The reason is not only the coercion of Zhuang Qianyuan alone, but also his new wife Nie Hanyun is also quite powerful.

The name Nie Hanyun has never been heard of in the rivers and lakes, but since her marriage to Zhuang Qianyuan was announced to the world, everyone has known her identity, and she is actually the second daughter of the imperial captain or the concubine.

Although the position of Taiwei is a fictitious position, it is related to the imperial court. Moreover, although the position of Tai Lieutenant has no real power, it is linked to the army, and he is an important minister of the imperial court, so naturally countless people want to tie up, and the connections under his hands can be said to be very wide.

The combination of Zhuang Qianyuan and Nie Hanyun can be said to have united the two major forces of the rivers and lakes and the imperial court, plus Wujiabao has fallen because of the sudden fire, and the future Wulin League will be the leader and no one can beat it.

At such a time, who would dare to say a few more words of gossip as the first bird? Without arguing to say two words of congratulations at the wedding banquet, it is already considered reserved.

But then again, who wouldn't want to join in this kind of excitement?

There are constant disputes over small things in the rivers and lakes, but when it comes to big things, there are really not many things that can be said, Zhuang Qianyuan spent a lot of money on this wedding, it can be said that those who come do not refuse, as long as they accept the inspection of the Wulin League, most of them can drink a glass of wine at this wedding banquet.

It's the only thing that Shang Shi didn't go for this wedding wine and the newcomer.

When she heard these news on the road, she became more and more sure that the matter of Wujiabao was related to Zhuang Qianyuan.

The martial arts league is red at the scenery of Wujiabao, the imperial court is afraid of the power of Wujiabao, and secretly there are Wujiabao's side lines coveting the status of the master's family, these factors are almost to the point of a little fire, under the influence of Zhuang Qianyuan's heart, how can the master of Wujiabao escape?

If it weren't for this, would Nie Hanyun be able to marry Zhuang Qianyuan so easily? Is it really that the imperial court can afford him, the concubine of the Taiwei, and at worst, the person who can become the concubine of the prince and the prince, marrying a reckless man, if it is just because of love, it can really make people laugh off their big teeth.

Shang Shi also admired Nie Hanyun's ability to observe words and emotions and deal with people and things at the beginning, but now that he thinks about it, maybe people are cultivated according to the standards of the imperial concubine or princess, and how bad can they be?

It's just that the position of Zhuang Qiong, the eldest lady of the Wulin League, is very embarrassing in the eyes of outsiders, and whether she will attend this wedding banquet is still two different things.

It stands to reason that judging from the status and power of Wujiabao a month ago, someone will definitely come, and there is still a surviving young master and many collateral relatives in Wujiabao's main family, and there is a relationship at the level of marriage contract, so it should be coming, but whether it will really come, no one can say for sure.

Shang Shi wasn't sure if she would meet the young master of Wujiabao at the wedding banquet, but for now, it seemed that this was her only chance to infiltrate the Martial Arts League.

Zhuang Qianyuan and Nie Hanyun's big day was set on the ninth day of October, and the next three days were the wedding banquet of the flowing water banquet.

Shang Shi really didn't see the young master of Wujiabao and the eldest lady on the wedding day, but she heard the two of them together in her mouth, and thought that the young master did come to the Wulin League.

The relationship between the two seems to be very good, and Shanshi has heard more about the two of them than from the mouth of one of the subordinates.

It is said that the eldest lady has been very depressed because of her mother's death, and it is the young master who has always been by her side; and she has made a fuss in the Wulin League because of her dissatisfaction and refusal to her father's marriage, and every time the young master is playing a round and appeasing her, and even blocked Zhuang Qianyuan's slap when he was angry for the eldest lady.

It's just that the people in the Wulin League seem to be very well-behaved, and no one talks much about the new lady and the young lady, and Shang Shi didn't inquire about where Zhuang Qiong and the young master are now.

However, I am afraid that even Zhuang Qianyuan and Nie Hanyun did not expect that the two would appear together on the last day of the banquet.

The scale of the wedding banquet was not small, Shang Shi knew that the news that the two had finally appeared was at the banquet on the other side, and when they rushed over, Zhuang Qianyuan and Nie Hanyun, who happened to be still wearing wedding clothes, also rushed over.

At that time, Zhuang Qiong was wearing a begonia red skirt and was holding the hand of a man in white standing opposite Zhuang Qianyuan.

The man was tall and slender, and looking at it from a distance, it made Shang Shi feel a little familiar.

The onlookers who thought they would see a farce gradually lost interest and left one after another, which made Shang Shi walk into Zhuang Qiong and the others lightly.

To be honest, Shang Shi thought that Zhuang Qiong, the eldest lady of the Wulin League, would be a bold woman, after all, the rumors she had heard these days, whether it was a big quarrel with her father or running away from home, each one showed a trace of her pungency.

This is clearly a meek and gentle woman.

It's just that she didn't have the slightest smile on her face, and only showed the woman's gentle nature in her every move and words and deeds.

She seemed to be admitting her mistake to her father in a low voice, Zhuang Qianyuan also had a smile on his face, and nodded at Zhuang Qiong with satisfaction, and after a while, he patted the shoulder of the man in white with a smile, and his lips opened and closed and said something.

Shang Shi was still a little far away, and there were many people at the banquet, so Shang Shi never heard what they were saying, so he could only continue to squeeze forward.

There was a crowd in front of him, and Shang Shi's eyes fell far away on the man in white, and seeing his gentle movements, he touched the head of the woman next to him, as if he was assuring Zhuang Qianyuan of something. Seeing him take Zhuang Qiong's hand again, he suddenly turned around.

The face engraved in Shansh's mind suddenly appeared in front of him, making Shansh stunned in place.

Is that...... Dao Chief?

It was clearly a homeless man dressed in plain white clothes.
