Nodding is not an answer (Part I)

The moontop treetops, the autumn breeze is slightly cool.

A few stars in this world hang in the sky, but it adds a bit of loneliness.

Lone star, cold moon, tree shadow.

Even the rats on the ground flashed out of the moonlight with their hard-earned food, turning their heads in the shadows, revealing their smug front teeth.

The inn was silent, except for the occasional shadow, whose wings were like an umbrella stretched out, leaving the tree a little, slowly growing larger, and then slowly becoming smaller and falling onto the roof.

These are birds that have been awakened by the autumn wind, they are not noisy, in the house, as long as no one comes to round up, but it is just a matter of sleeping in a different position.

A few shadows suddenly appeared in the air, and landed lightly on the roof, like the birds that had just left the roof. However, this shadow was not comparable to a few birds, and a few stubborn leaves fell on the treetops they had just left.

These figures are people, people in night clothes.

This inn is not simple, and its not simple place is mainly reflected in the people who live in the inn.

The reason why this person is not simple comes from the famous Fang family in Yangcheng.

This inn is the inn where Lan Yu, Xu Chang'an and Li Daoyi lived, and during the day, the dowry worth 10,000 taels of silver walked out from here and headed towards the Fang family.

A few figures landed on the roof, quietly peeled off a few tiles, and looked down through the cold moonlight.

Their arrival startled the birds nearby, but the winter was getting stronger, and there were not many birds, and the movement was not enough to wake up the people in the bed.

They were busy on the roof, and finally one of them showed a glistening eye, nodded to his companion behind him, and several of them took out the paper and gathered together.

It was the inside of the house that could be seen from the roof.

Several people put the pictures together, and then made eye contact, as if they had reached a consensus, and fell lightly to the ground.

They pulled a thread out of their bosom and reached through the crack in the door.

He fiddled in the doorway for a while, then gently pushed the door open.

Several people poked their heads out, carefully looked at everything in the house, and after perceiving that there was no one, they entered the house with a cat waist and quietly closed the door.

The group entered the inn, each took a picture, pointed at each other, and then scattered.

It didn't take long for several people to gather in the hall, nod to each other, and then go out, then took out the silk thread and carefully pulled the deadbolt back.

They looked around and felt that they had done a great job of concealment, and then left.

The night, after a brief period of bustle, was calm again.

Just because it's hidden, doesn't mean it's not seen.

When the departing birds saw the group going out, they quietly returned, and after a moment of curiosity on the rooftops, they flew again to the treetops.

......

The first ray of sunshine with a hint of coolness woke up the entire Yangcheng.

The people got up, their clothes were wrapped a little tightly, although there was sunshine, but on this late autumn morning, when they opened their mouths at will, the air that came out was white mist.

On the mountain dozens of miles away from Yangcheng, there is a sect with three big characters written on the plaque.

"Dry Sword Sect. ”

The young man in white stood on top of the attic, and the person standing in front of him was about the age of confusion, with his hands behind his back, and his face was covered with the wind and frost of time. He looked at Yangcheng in the distance, and then asked the white-clothed young man behind him, "Geng'er, are you sure about this?"

The young man in white bowed down respectfully, and then said: "Father, no matter whether that Fang Yu Nian is the best furnace or not, but for his son, he must not miss this opportunity. If she isn't, then after entering the door, feel free to send away. ”

He paused, thought for a moment, and then said, "Even so, the Fang family doesn't dare to say anything more. ”

The middle-aged man didn't look at his son, and only replied after a while: "I'm talking about the three boys." ”

When Xu Geng heard this, he immediately replied: "Back to my father's words, I invited a few senior brothers to go to the inn last night to investigate, but I didn't find any trace of them. ”

When Xu Geng said this, his heart also relaxed slightly, and he also showed a hint of pride.

The middle-aged man turned around, frowned, and looked at his son.

Xu Geng hurriedly put away his expression and looked extremely respectful.

After all, tens of thousands of taels of silver, if it is someone with a background, it doesn't hurt to send it, but I have been entrenched in Yangcheng for many years, and I have never heard of these three people, and I sent someone to check, but there is no result, and I think the power will not be too great. ”

When Xu Geng heard this, he peeked at his father in surprise.

The father's meaning is obvious, the silver ticket cannot be given, these three people will die when they die, and there is no power behind them.

He immediately realized that he naturally couldn't ask for the lives of these three people in Yangcheng, but if he left Yangcheng and did not know what to do, then it would be okay.

"I'll send someone to find out immediately!"

When the middle-aged man heard this, he didn't nod or shake his head, but just turned around.

"I will also enter Yangcheng today to meet the adults from Chang'an. ”

When Xu Geng heard this, he suddenly raised his head and looked at his father.

"Although the rivers and lakes and temples are irrelevant, after so many years, the friends that should be made should always be made. Remember, all you need to know is this. ”

A smile appeared on Xu Geng's face, and he hurriedly bowed his head and replied, "Yes, father." ”

After the middle-aged man finished speaking, he turned around and went down to the attic, Xu Geng lowered his head and watched his father leave.

"By the way, with you, these three people seem to have a certain relationship with the people who the nobles of Chang'an want. ”

......

The Fang family had sent someone to look for their uncle since noon, but when they arrived at the inn, there was only the shopkeeper and the shopkeeper.

The two of them seemed extremely happy, as if they didn't know that someone had searched the inn inside and out last night. The people of the Fang family couldn't find their future uncle, and they didn't dare to do it, so they went back to resume their lives. After a while, a group of people quietly inquired to see if anyone had seen the future uncle.

Although it is said that Lan Yu can be regarded as a wealthy person, he can save the step of picking up the bride, but the groom official is gone, which is a big deal!

But on the contrary, the Yangcheng Fang family is famous far and wide, and they can't afford to lose this person, so they can only try their best to find it.

Seeing that everything was ready for the Fang family, but he was as anxious as an ant on a hot pot, Zhu Qianhao arrived at the Fang family. When he went to the Fang family, he naturally met the old lady Fang and the head of the Fang family directly, and the three of them didn't know what to talk about secretly. However, when Zhu Qianhao left, the Fang family recalled the people who were looking for their future uncle outside, and the Fang family was full of joy and did their best to arrange the wedding.

In the afternoon, when it was about three to five o'clock in the afternoon, there were already guests arriving one after another, but the people of the Fang family didn't feel anything, and they still had joy on their faces. But the few people who spoke in this Fang family fell into sorrow.

Especially the old lady of the Fang family.

His face was a little gloomy, and it was small to lose face, but if he didn't do well at this time and couldn't get medicine, I'm afraid he wouldn't have much time.

The head of the Fang family looked at his father sitting on the chair and didn't dare to speak.

"Will the person surnamed Zhu lie to us, look at the jokes of our Fang family. ”

The head of the Fang family thought about it for a while, and then replied, "No, a lot of his Zhu family's business has to rely on us. He will not give up his interests for the sake of a little face. ”

With that, the room fell silent, except for the incense from the stove.

"He's a good businessman. Seeing that his father didn't speak, the head of the Fang family added.

The grandfather of the Fang family closed his eyes, sniffing the incense, and his eyelids drooped. Because of the long-term incense, the body exudes a faint fragrance.

"Okay, let's go out and do things!"

He waved his hand, not glancing at his son.

The head of the Fang family walked out of the door and let out a long breath, facing his father, he had a strange sense of alienation and fear.

......

More and more people came to Fang's house, and even many business friends carried expensive gifts. After all, taking this opportunity to make friends with the Fang family may lay the foundation for future cooperation and business.

There were more people slowly, and the time was also moving towards the unitary hour (five to seven o'clock in the afternoon), and cold sweat broke out on the forehead of the head of the Fang family, searching for Zhu Qianhao's figure in the crowd.

Finally, he saw Zhu Qianhao and hurriedly walked over.

Facing the question of the head of the Fang family, fine beads of sweat also appeared on Zhu Qianhao's forehead.

He's just talking, but now the wedding is about to start, and the three of them haven't shown up yet, and the party is looking for him.

At this moment, Xu Geng walked over with a smile on his face.

Although the people he sent did not find any trace of the three, they did not appear at the wedding, which was his greatest victory.

"Dare to ask where the groom is?" he deliberately asked the head of the Fang family.

Cold sweat broke out on the forehead of the Fang family, and he didn't dare to speak.

"Are you feeling a little unwell?"

The head of the Fang family could only nod and say, "He's resting." ”

As he spoke, he casually coped with the past.

But time passed slowly, and it was about to come to the auspicious time that had been selected before.

All the guests looked at the luxuriously decorated wedding hall, and Fang Yunian saw this scene that everyone was looking forward to in the next room, biting his lip tightly, feeling a little sour in his heart.

The time has come!

When the master of ceremonies saw that the time was up, he shouted: "The good day has arrived, and the newcomer has entered the hall!"

Large beads of sweat had already appeared on the forehead of the head of the Fang family, and he had never greeted the master of ceremonies, let alone said it.

In the end, only the maidservant girl slowly walked out with her arms in her arms.

Everyone looked at the wedding hall with doubts, but because of the power of the Fang family, they didn't dare to speak.

Fang Yunian stood alone on top of the wedding hall, and she seemed to see some eyes looking at her. No! To be precise, to stab yourself! Like a knife!

"Did something happen to the groom?" suddenly someone said.

Everyone turned their heads and saw that it was Xu Geng, who failed to grab the hydrangea. But when everyone learned Xu Geng's identity, they dared to be angry and didn't dare to speak, especially the people of the Fang family.

"Don't waste time, isn't there anyone who wants your Fang family's daughter!" Xu Geng continued, looking at the beams tied with red cloth flowers with a smile on his face.

Anger appeared on the face of the head of the Fang family, sitting on the main seat, he was squeezing the armrest of the chair and gritting his teeth, eager to crush the chair!

As soon as these words came out, everyone began to talk about it.

It's not uncommon to run away from marriage, but the man runs away from marriage, and it's still a big family like the Fang family, which is very rare!

The face of the head of the Fang family was about to be unbearable, Fang Yunian bit his lip tightly, and tears fell down in large pieces. But with a red hijab, no one noticed.

"Go, go, no one wants it!"

Xu Geng added fuel to the fire, watching the fire from the other side, gloating.

When many of the guests heard this, they were a little moved, and some even turned around and prepared to go out.

At this moment, a voice sounded in everyone's ears!

"I'm sorry, everyone, I went to prepare a big gift for my newlywed wife, so I came a little late!"

As soon as the words fell, Xu Geng's face changed!

Revise frequently, please look for the vertical and horizontal!
