Chapter 35: The Day of Marriage Knows the Truth
After Gu Yu cleaned up, he was served by a group of maids from the Western Regions and put on the traditional wedding clothes of the Western Regions. One of the maids said www.biquge.info "The prince's figure is really good, this wedding dress is prepared by our princess for her future husband, and the princess herself did not know the width of her shoulders and the height of her future husband at first, so she made it by imagination." It shows that our princess is still destined for the prince!" Gu Yu smiled helplessly and asked, "I don't know where your princess is now?" The maid covered her mouth and smiled shyly and said, "The prince is really anxious, is he in a hurry to see our princess again?" A maid standing next to her with an official hat cleared her throat and said: "I'm afraid the prince doesn't know the customs of our Gumo marriage, no matter which prince marries our princess, he will stay in our Gumo for the rest of his life, and he will not meet the bride for the first three days of the wedding, so he has to be aggrieved by the prince to endure for a while." When Gu Yu heard this, he couldn't sit still in a hurry, so he stood up and said, "I want to see your city lord!"
As soon as Gu Yu got up and walked outside the door, he heard the attendant outside shouting: "The city lord has invited the prince to go up to the east city wall to gather!" Gu Yu opened the door and followed the attendant towards the east city wall.
"I've been looking for it all these days, and there is still no news from Brother Gu Yu, what should I do!" Wushuang anxiously dragged Feng Chen's arm back and forth.
"Don't worry, let's ask the merchant in front of us again!" Feng Chen comforted Wushuang as he quickened his pace and walked in the direction of a group of people in front of him.
Feng Chen pushed away the crowd and found that there was a notice posted at the gate of the city, and the notice was written in the Western Regions, and Feng Chen and Wushuang couldn't understand it. But there were some businessmen dressed as merchants in the Central Plains next to him, Feng Chen walked up to the tall man and asked, "Big brother, do you know what is written on this?" Brother Shangjia glanced at Feng Chen, smiled and said, "Little brother, you are out of play." Princess Alena has chosen a husband, who is said to be the crown prince of the Ming Dynasty, Zhu Cihong. This news really startled Feng Chen, and he hurriedly took a few steps back, and Wushuang supported him: "Are you okay! Why is this Alena going to get married just after she goes back?" The other businessmen standing on the side sneered: "Little girl, you only have envy." “
Wushuang helped Feng Chen aside and sat down, and whispered to him, "I think there is something strange about this matter. Feng Chen nodded in agreement: "Not long after Brother Gu Yu and the princess left, the news spread from all over the city. Who is this Zhu Cihong?" Wushuang didn't feel funny when he looked at Feng Chen's stupid appearance, and then said after grinning at him: "Zhu Cihong is the son of Emperor Chongzhen of the Ming Dynasty, and he should still be regarded as a prince now. It is said that he has been living abroad for the past few years, and was later caught by Emperor Li Zicheng of Dashun, and no one cared about this down-and-out prince later. Feng Chen nodded as if he didn't understand: "Then the Ming Dynasty won't fall into the wind and rain." Wushuang sighed: "Who can say what will happen in the future." It's good that we can go back now!" Feng Chen came back to his senses and patted Wushuang's shoulder: "Don't worry! I'll take you back!" After speaking, a trace of excitement seemed to flash in Wushuang's eyes.
Gu Yu climbed the eastern city wall and saw the city lord pulling out his bow and arrows not far away, but there were no arrows on the string. The guard shouted: "Report to the city lord, the prince has arrived!" The city lord threw his bow and arrows to the ground, walked to Gu Yu and said: "Prince Zhu Cihong may catch turtles in the urn that you have never seen! Today I will play a game with you to see who shoots the most people!" Saying that, the city lord took Gu Yu's hand and walked to the edge of the city wall, Gu Yu looked down, there was no way to go under the gate of this east city, it was an urn city. The city lord's personal attendant who was hunched was also there, he picked up the bow and arrow from the ground and handed it to Gu Yu: "Prince, please!" The city lord took the golden bow handed by the guards behind him, as well as the arrow feathers, and said while aiming: "How can the prince have the kindness of a woman? Otherwise, if the guys below who have broken their hands and feet spread the news of the prince's sneak attack on the other thirty-six princes, I am afraid that your Central Plains will inevitably escape." The personal attendant who was hunched on his back casually added: "Yes, the prince doesn't want to be a short-lived colt!" Gu Yu pulled his bow wide open, and the arrow was on the string, but it pointed straight at the sky.
I only heard a 'whoosh' in my ears, and the arrow feathers on the golden bow had flown out of the string. The last attendants under the eastern city wall had already fallen to the ground, and in the panic, the people below were rolling in the dirt like earthworms. Mountains of corpses had been piled up beneath the city, and many of the living had come out of the pile of dead people, their hands covered in blood and desperately crawling up the walls. Gu Yu looked at the innocent people of the Western Regions below and felt a little ashamed, in that broken temple, he thought that they would take the opportunity to escape, but unfortunately he was arrested again. In the bloody crowd, there are other princes who have seen them in the past few days. Just when Gu Yu hesitated, the wind rose again in his ears. The shrill sound of a flute was heard, and three more attendants fell to the ground below. Seeing that the city lord in front of him was using the living people below as a moving target for the game, Feng Chen was inevitably angry, but he couldn't act rashly, he could only wait for the opportunity.
Suddenly, someone under the city wall pointed to Gu Yu on the high city wall and shouted. The city lord ordered someone to bring the attendant who was yelling just now, and Gu Yu's face changed suddenly in an instant. Afraid that the matter would be exposed, he had to pull out his bow and aim at the attendants below, close his eyes and let go of his hand, only to hear the instant silence below. The lord of the city leaned down and looked under the city wall, and found that the arrow of the prince had pierced through his attendant and shot the screaming prisoner to death. Clapped his hands and shouted: "Good archery! I don't know that Prince Zhu Cihong has such superb archery skills, which really impresses the widow." Gu Yu trembled on the side and handed the bow and arrow to the attendant beside him, holding on to the cold soil on the city wall, feeling the cold sand of the Western Regions blowing into his mouth, making his heart cold. I saw the city lord raise his right hand and throw the arrow feather in his hand down the city wall. A thousand archers on the city walls, full of bows ready to fire. Gu Yu shouted: "Don't!" Before the words fell, the city was already bleeding. The 'urn city' was already covered with corpses, and the bloodstains stained the earth-colored yellow sand city walls.
The city lord patted Gu Yu on the shoulder: "Prince, don't forget! These people are all dead because of you! How can you Ming be the enemy of the world? Hahahaha." Gu Yu got up and walked down the city wall. I only listened to the city lord behind me: "Send the heads of these princes of other countries to the Ming Emperor, and it will be a gift from me in return." “
Gu Yu didn't know whether he had harmed others or himself by doing this, but he knew in his heart that all of this was under the control of the witch queen, from his entry into the city to the dilapidated temple to his later escape and return to the temple with Alena. All of this should be under the control of the witch queen, and she lost. But Gu Yu thought about it, and Zhihan was waiting for him to bring back the black mandala flower seeds to her, so he had the strength to regain his composure and walked towards the temple.
Wushuang and Feng Chen inquired everywhere in the city, but no one had seen Brother Gu Yu. Wushuang felt strange and asked Feng Chen suspiciously: "Could it be that Brother Gu Yu has already entered the temple?" Feng Chen suddenly woke up: "Could it be that the so-called prince of the Ming Dynasty on the notice is ......." Wushuang nodded: "Brother Gu Yu's scene is really hard. “
