Chapter 18: The Water God Marries
Blessed is he with his servants to clean the streets for three miles.
Outside the city of Suzhou, the escort team from the capital stopped.
When Zheng Dechang heard that the envoy was coming, he hurriedly went out of the city to meet him.
"Xiaguan Zheng Dechang, meet Shangguan". Zheng Dechang, bent deeply.
"Get up, the hour is just right, go early and return early, and hope to return before dusk." The messenger's face was not good.
"Yes, the lower official will lead the way." Zheng Dechang summoned the horses, turned over and walked forward.
The frame of the messenger is five miles, the red and green flower tent, and the brocade car is long.
There are also yin and yang curtains, flying spirit BMW, and still incense is permeated.
There are also servants in the palace, and the chariot follows the horse.
Zheng Dechang guessed who else was coming in the team, when Li Ke came, the convoy was only one mile, but now the convoy is more than five miles away, and the composition is complicated, not like a wave of people.
He shook his head, who is coming, we will know later, there is no need to ask.
The messenger's convoy came slowly, and the blessed servants bent down to greet them, and the two sides exchanged briefly.
"I didn't expect it to be the envoy of the right to come in person, and the old slave came to see the prince on behalf of the prince." Blessed is a little handed.
"Is Your Highness alright?". Quan Wanji asked.
He has a complicated relationship with Li Ke, he is Li Ke's teacher, and he was killed by Li Ke and lost his fief. Originally, they were supposed to be close, but in the end they became strangers.
Now that the two are separated by heaven and man, Quan Wanji has mixed feelings.
"Okay very". Blessed, his voice is cold and hard.
Quan Wanji looked blessed, and probably understood his mood, and didn't mention other things.
"There is a decree from the Holy Father, does the blessed steward need to prepare anything?"
"The water god's mansion has been prepared, and the envoy is free to do so." Youfu said.
"Then begin, please decree". Kwon Wan Ji shouted.
A blue-clothed eunuch in the crowd walked out, opened a sandalwood box, and raised his hands.
Quan Wanji took a step forward and respectfully took out the holy decree with both hands.
"Li Ke, the king of Taihu Lake, received the order". The statue of Li Ke with the face of Quan Wanji.
"Wechen receives the order". Li Ke shook his head and sighed, and walked out of the statue. He was covered in a hazy golden glow and fell to one knee. Blessed are he also kneeling with his servants.
“...... Feng Li Ke is the Dragon King of Taihu Lake and enjoys the incense of the three cities". There are a lot of flowery words, only the last sentence is used again.
After reading the holy decree, Li Ke's soul body shone brightly, and from the inside out, Li Ke's divine domain spread, enveloping the lake for fifteen miles.
"Wechen receives the order". Li Ke was happy in his heart, and secretly said that this worship is not a loss, Li Ke is a virtual body, he bowed his head to indicate that he was blessed, and he was blessed to come up and receive the holy decree.
Li Ke bowed his hand and bowed down to the student: "It is rare for the teacher to come to the student's territory once, and I also ask the teacher to stay for a few days to enjoy the magnificent scenery of Taihu Lake."
"Your Highness is gracious." Kwon Wanji is respectful and distant.
Li Ke understood his mind and didn't want to have anything to do with him anymore.
Li Ke doesn't blame him, it is human nature to seek advantages and avoid disadvantages. He turned to look at an old gentleman.
"This gentleman looked at me, but he was relieved." This person is wearing a Confucian shirt, his beard and hair are all white, his crane hair is childish, his chest is straight and his back is straight, and he has a heroic and righteous spirit.
Li Ke saw his identity, he was a Confucian and Taoist monk, and his strength was extraordinary.
Even if Li Ke's body is inside, I'm afraid it can't withstand his palm.
"The righteousness of the prince". In admiration, the old Confucian monk nodded slightly, acknowledging Li Ke's words.
He has confirmed that Li Ke is dead, or that Li Ke has indeed turned into a god, is no longer human, and has completely cut off the imperial road.
"The student is in poor health, please forgive the student for being rude." Li Ke apologized to Quan Wanji and wanted to return to the statue of God after being reincarnated.
"The prince is contemptuous". The blue-clothed eunuch called out to Li Ke.
Li Ke was puzzled, he turned to look at this eunuch.
"The queen dares to read the righteousness of the prince to guard Taihu Lake for the people, and she has a special reward.
In addition, the prince is sixteen years old this year, and when he has reached the age of starting a family, the queen mother specially asks the emperor to give him a marriage." The blue-clothed eunuch said.
"Hehe, thank you for the love of the queen." Li Ke clasped his hands into fists and bowed to the north from afar.
"Before coming, Your Majesty asked Mr. Yuan to calculate, today is the auspicious day of the zodiac, and the day of marriage is today, please forgive the prince." The blue-clothed eunuch bowed.
"Hands-on". With the order of the blue-clothed eunuch, a wave of eunuchs and palace maids who obviously belonged to the palace rushed up, and they wore red and hung colors for the Water God Mansion, and by the way, they turned over the front yard and back room of the Water God Mansion.
"Stop". Blessed roared, they took the opportunity to rummage through the prince's things.
Li Ke waved his hand to stop Youfu and the servants, and he looked at him coldly.
"I heard that the prince still has a courtyard, today is a big day, you guys, go and clean up for the prince." The blue-clothed eunuch didn't seem to see Youfu's angry face.
An hour later, the Water God's Mansion took on a new look. The eunuch and the maid also returned to the main hall.
"Stand back". The blue-clothed eunuch said.
"Slow". Li Ke drank: "Take down these dog things and chop off their dog paws for me."
The guards, who had long been angry, immediately pounced on him when they heard this.
"Presumptuous, stop me". The eunuch stopped him, and immediately ordered the eunuch to save people.
"Is there any misunderstanding on the part of the prince?" At this time, Quan Wanji had to speak, if the eunuchs clashed with Li Ke and caused bloodshed, none of them would have a good time after they went back.
"Give them bodies". Li Ke's eyes were cold and emotionless.
"Whoever dares, they are all people from the palace". The blue-clothed eunuch shouted.
The guards were unmoved, and gave themselves according to Li Ke's words.
Bang, jingle, dang.
The guards seized belongings and gold and silver jewelry from the eunuchs and palace maids and threw them on the ground.
The face of the blue-clothed eunuch is ugly, they are from the palace, they can't take some money from anyone's house, and no one should not see it, a prince who has lost power, what if he takes some of his goods.
"Today I am very happy, I saw the red festive, pulled out and chopped my hands and feet." Li Ke coldly ordered.
"The prince spares his life, the slave and maid don't dare, the prince spares his life." The palace maid and eunuch knelt on the ground and begged for mercy.
Li Ke's face was as cold as frost. They found that it was useless to beg Li Ke, so they turned to the blue-clothed eunuch.
Quan Wanji was silent, and he sighed in his heart, in the end, he is the heir of the royal family, and he is rigid and decisive.
The blue-clothed eunuch looked at Li Ke deadly, and did not beg for mercy for these eunuchs.
"Sir, how is this slave in my house?" Li Ke pointed to the blue-clothed eunuch.
Quan Wanji thought in his heart, this matter has something to do with me, he didn't hear it, and looked at the beams in Li Ke's hall.
Zheng Dechang looked at the door frame, he couldn't wait to give himself two slaps, why did he want to follow.
"I don't know what he thinks when he has a dog that bites his master." Seeing that no one cared about him, Li Ke muttered to himself.
The eyes of the blue-clothed eunuch were even more vicious, and a prince who had lost his power dared to be arrogant.
He speculated in his heart that how to take revenge on Li Ke when he went back, it was best to demolish his temple, destroy his statue, and let his soul fly.
Quan Wanji's eyes swept the face of the blue-clothed eunuch, and he didn't know that he was dying.
The prince is the prince after all, and with Li Ke's words just now, when he returns to Chang'an, this blue-clothed eunuch will definitely die, no matter who is behind him.
Quan Wanji has nothing to do with him, there is no need to remind this eunuch.
After a few screams, the guards reported that they had been executed.
The sound of wailing and screaming can be faintly heard in the main hall.
The hall was quiet, no one made a sound, Quan Wanji watched the passage of time, and said: "The auspicious time is approaching, let's start the wedding."
The blue-clothed eunuch shook his hand and left, and when he saw this, Wan Ji directly took over the leadership of the wedding.
Married in a different place, coupled with Li Ke's special circumstances, everything is simple.
Ancient society paid attention to the words of the matchmaker of his parents, Li Ke did not object to marriage, and he had no right to oppose it.
Moreover, there was a red light in the team, even if it was pressed by the Holy Decree of Taizong, it still emitted a dazzling light, and now it seemed that this thing was on the woman.
Li Ke followed Quan Wanji out of the Water God Mansion and walked all the way to a gorgeous big red carriage.
After a few simple rituals, the bride was invited out of the carriage with her head covered.
She stood beside Li Ke, Li Ke frowned, this woman was only about one meter five, and she was petite and thin.
Dissatisfaction flashed in his eyes, who picked this, so short.
The mother-in-law was afraid of Li Ke, she had only heard of the river god marrying.
The mother-in-law handed the red to Li Ke in fear, it has reached this point, let's be shorter. Anyway, he can't enjoy it like this now.
Li Ke is virtual body, he used his divine power to grab the red lead, and the other end of the red was caught by the bride in his hand.
Her hands were clenched tightly, as if she was nervous, or afraid, she must have heard who she was going to marry, and what was going on with the other party.
Li Ke didn't guess what she thought, followed the mother-in-law, led the red forward, and the bride followed the red step by step.
After entering the hall of the water god, Quan Wanji read out the holy decree, and after worshipping heaven and earth, he was sent to the cave room.
Youfu was happily busy, but Quan Wanji retreated with the team.
Li Ke didn't care, he paid more attention to what treasures were on the bride's body, the red light was shining, and he was not afraid of the suppression of the emperor's luck.
