Chapter 278: The Big Wedding (4)
The moment the snow falls.
The welcoming team has stepped into Gusu City.
The welcoming procession was unprecedentedly loud.
Folk marriage, eight sedan chairs are already the highest specifications, how many girls in the boudoir dream scene.
And the emperor's marriage is no longer something that ordinary people can imagine.
There are thousands of horses, ten thousand taels of gold, countless treasures, and endless flowers.
Along the way, there are the best musicians of the royal family playing the music to be used by the emperor's ceremony, the royal forest army of 500 people, black armor is draped, but it is also decorated with bright red ornaments on the body, and the steps are steadily stepping on the street of Gusu City, and the momentum is noisy as if it is a mountain.
But it is such a scene of extreme poverty and luxury, wealth and noisy, but no one comes to appreciate it.
Even the residents who stayed in Gusu City seemed to have learned some news in advance, and they all hid at home and didn't even dare to open the slightest crack in the window and poke out a single look, and everyone closed the door tightly.
In the end, the only people who witnessed this rare scene were the men and horses sent by Duke Chen's Mansion and the soldiers of Gusu County.
So, it was supposed to be a very festive moment, but the inexplicable iron armor corresponded, and it became iron-blooded.
In addition, the snow began to fall continuously, from small to large, covering the streets and alleys and the armor of the Royal Guards, adding a strong sense of mourning.
This big drama has just begun, and it already has a sad taste.
Along the way, the music was noisy, and the welcoming team finally came to the outside of Gusu Chen's house.
Outside the famous Baifa Street, the Imperial Forest Army stopped, and an official of the Ministry of Rites, who came to greet the emperor in place of the emperor, carried the "Nacai Certificate" issued by the emperor and several deacons who came with him, and headed towards the gate of Duke Chen's mansion.
The door of the Chen Mansion is wide open at this time, today is a big day, next to the main door that is never easy to open on weekdays, now standing respectfully the servants and housekeepers and deacons of the Chen Gong Mansion, they are all dressed in happy clothes, and they are full of joy.
It's just that everyone has a strong smile on their faces, making this scene, which has already become cold, more and more weird.
The official of the Ministry of Rites strode up the steps of Chen Gongfu, opened the "Nacai Book" in front of everyone, and read it out loud: "I inherit the order of the heavens, Qin Shao Hongtu, the way of the country, and the family is the foundation." The love of husband and wife, the righteousness of Qiankun. In fact, with the respect of the ancestors, the sincerity of the co-ordination......"
Nearly 100 words were sprinkled, and in the slightly high-pitched voice of the officials of the Ministry of Rites, they struck loudly in everyone's hearts.
After "welcoming the !!" and reading the "Nacai Book", the official of the Ministry of Rites shouted out a word.
The big play, staged.
The snow is getting faster and faster, and the sound of welcoming is from the door, all the way to the inner courtyard of Chen Gongfu, in the past few days, people from the palace have already come to Chen Gongfu to arrange everything, and the house slaves of Chen Gongfu have already been properly trained, and there is a sound in the middle, as if a mountain is connected to a mountain, and there is no mistake at all.
Then people heard footsteps.
It was unhurried, not light, not heavy, like some kind of graceful dance footsteps.
The sound of footsteps seemed to step on everyone's heart.
It's like playing some kind of music, and it's like responding to the falling snow in the sky.
Subsequently, the officials of the Ministry of Rites saw Chen Xiaotong.
He was stunned, not only because of the disagreement with the ceremony, how could the bride who got married come out by herself, it should be the officials who greeted the relatives step by step into the house, and then after various ceremonies, they could welcome them out.
Now Chen Xiaotong has come out on his own.
Moreover, because the snow was too big, Chen Xiaotong did not hold an umbrella, resulting in her red wedding dress already covered with dense snowflakes, making the robe that was originally festive look like a pure white mourning dress now.
This is very unusual, first of all, Chen Xiaotong is a person with the best martial arts, she has a thousand ways to keep her clothes from snow, but she is covered in snow.
Moreover, the palace sent people to serve Chen Xiaotong before, and those people were all old people in the palace, so they shouldn't have made such a mistake.
"County Lord, why don't you take an umbrella? Those minions really deserve to be killed, they actually let the county lord come out alone, if they catch a cold, they can't afford to pay for ten lives. The official of the Ministry of Rites said worriedly, "County Lord, you might as well go back and change your clothes first, the auspicious time will not be able to pass for a while, and the lower officials will just wait here." ”
"No, that's fine. Who knows, Chen Xiaotong actually said this.
"County Lord......" The official of the Ministry of Rites frowned suddenly, although he couldn't afford to offend the noble girl in front of him, but he was also the emperor's order now, and he couldn't handle this matter, so he had to speak hard.
"My father had just passed away, so it was a good fit. Chen Xiaotong said again.
The officials of the Ministry of Rites only felt a chill in their hearts, not only because of the snowflakes that were falling in the sky, but also because of the solemn meaning in Chen Xiaotong's words that made people can't help but want to turn around and flee.
She's going to kill.
Inexplicably, the officials of the Ministry of Rites thought of this sentence.
"County Lord, Grandpa Guo is gone, it's really heart-wrenching, but today is His Majesty's wedding, so ......" The official of the Ministry of Rites suddenly shuddered, and couldn't go on, just because he only found out now that Chen Xiaotong's hand was actually ...... Hold a sword!
The ghost sent the gods, and he asked: "County Lord, what about the grandmothers from the palace?"
"I killed them all. Chen Xiaotong said lightly.
The officials of the Ministry of Rites of ...... were speechless and could not say a word.
"I don't want to kill you, you get out of the way, today's matter is not something you can participate in, now go to Tiger Hill, and then jump into the Gusu River, maybe there is still a life to live." Chen Xiaotong said this and walked out of the door step by step.
The snow is already covering the sky.
Chen Xiaotong stood on the steps, glanced at the snow in the sky, and then said to the surroundings: "Don't hide, come out, it's time for the show to begin." ”
The world was lonely, and there was no reply to her words, only heavy snow fell.
The whole world seemed to be silent, including the five hundred Imperial Forest soldiers standing quietly outside the archway of Chen Gongfu not far away, their bodies hidden under the pitch-black armor, like statues.
Chen Xiaotong sighed, and just wanted to say something, but when he heard a shout, the official of the Ministry of Rites finally couldn't hold it anymore, shouted, turned around and ran in the direction of Tiger Hill.
Running with him were the deacons who accompanied him.
They shouted and ran wildly, and were about to disappear at the end, when suddenly, with a soft sound, their heads rose to the sky, and then fell to the ground with a series of sounds.
Chen Xiaotong sighed a second time, and her hand slowly grasped the hilt of the sword.
Then, she drew her sword.
The next moment, the heavens and the earth suddenly opened.
