Chapter 724: Chapter 197 the bride leaves, the siege begins
The Imperial Army imposed martial law and guarded the two sides.
All the high ranking officials and nobles who were worthy of being on the stage had arrived early with generous gifts, and there were three long lines from the door.
The Butler’s hands were cramping from receiving the gifts.
After breakfast.
Zi ‘er tidied up Xiao ran’s clothes, held his face, and kissed his forehead.”Come back early for dinner tonight.”
“Yes.” Xiao ran nodded.
Reaching out, he cupped her face and kissed her on the forehead.
“I’m off. ”
He turned around and left.
He didn’t leave from the Vermilion Bird Lane, but went to Jingwen Lane.
He didn’t go to the ninth Prince’s Mansion, as Shen Yiming’s men were keeping an eye on it. He didn’t need to worry about it. He left the city through the north gate and headed toward long an An County.
He had a feeling that the battle would start from here.
They stopped ten miles away from long an An County.
He jumped up and stopped on a big tree. Sitting on the tree, he took out the elemental spirit wine and looked in the direction of long An County “I hope my hunch is right.”
He took a sip of wine and waited calmly.
Long An County.
The cui family.
The cui family was getting married today, and they were going to marry a daughter to the ninth Prince.
All the families, including the county Magistrate, the common people, and even the beggars on the streets knew about it.
It started yesterday.
Guests from all walks of life came to visit. The people who came and went were either rich or noble, carrying generous gifts. Some people who couldn’t even enter the cui family’s door would silently put down their gifts.
It was as if this could give them a sense of achievement, as if it was amazing to climb up to the cui family’s high branch.
Today was the right day.
However, most of them couldn’t even enter the gate of cui Manor; instead, they could only loiter outside.
No matter how lively the front yard was, it did not affect the back yard.
In the room.
With the help of the maidservants, cui Xiuqing had changed into a Phoenix Coronet and a robe of red clouds, and was wearing all kinds of expensive jewelry.
Besides her, cui Lao and the two elders of yin and yang were also there.
The atmosphere was oppressive and heavy.
It wasn’t like the outside world, which was filled with joy and activity.
After a long time.
Cui Lao broke the silence and tried to make his words sound more relaxed.”Qing ‘er, today is your big day. Even though zhangyun and Xiuxin are no longer here, Grandpa is still here. Don’t worry! I promise you that I will find the murderer and take revenge for them!”
“Qing ‘er naturally believes in grandfather.” Cui Xiuqing said.
Her voice was pleasant to the ears, like an Oriole, crisp and pleasant, with a bit of charm.
He told her his guess.
“I’m thinking that since they dared to make a move on the engagement team, they will definitely not let the wedding go easily. They will definitely send people to stop it. I’m afraid that there will be another bloody battle. ”
“You don’t need to worry about this. The ninth Prince has asked His Majesty to send a hundred Imperial Dragon guards and five hundred dragon blood Warriors. In addition, he has also sent experts.”
He paused for a moment and looked at the two elders.
“Other than the ninth Prince’s men, there’s also your Grandpa yin-yang. With them and the ninth Prince’s men, we’ll definitely be able to escort you to the capital safely.”
“What if they send people to deal with our cui family? Directly destroy our cui family?” Cui Xiuqing expressed his concern.
“Hmph!” Cui Lao snorted.
His eyes were filled with killing intent, and his baleful Qi condensed into a physical form.
The temperature in the hall dropped to a terrifying level in an instant.
“As long as they come, I’ll kill as many as they come! In long An County they don’t have the right to do as they please. ”
“Yes.” Cui Xiuqing nodded.
The killing intent on his face disappeared, and he became gentle like a normal grandfather. He said to his granddaughter,”when you get there, you will be the ninth Prince’s man and will be involved in the fight for the Crown Prince. No matter what, you must protect him and put his interests first.”
She was even more gentle.
“If you feel wronged, you have to learn to hide it. Tell Grandpa, Grandpa will make the decision for you! As long as the cui family exists, no one can bully you, not even the ninth Prince. ”
“Thank you, Grandpa!” Cui Xiuqing smiled from the bottom of his heart.
“Other than that, you have to learn to be ruthless sometimes. No matter who it is, as long as they threaten your status or life, you have to find a way to get rid of them.”
“Yes.” Cui Xiuqing remembered.
He took out a Jade box and solemnly handed it over.
“The Holy relic of our cui family is in here. As long as it’s here, our cui family’s inheritance will not end. You have to keep it safe, there can’t be any mishaps. ”
Cui Xiuqing was puzzled and asked the question in his heart,”Grandpa, how do you restore it?”
“Silly child.” Cui Lao smiled.
“You don’t have to do it on purpose. As long as you marry the ninth Prince and your name is written on the royal family’s genealogy, the Dragon Qi of great Xia will nourish it. As time passes, it will recover completely.”
He muttered to himself.
“According to grandpa’s calculations, it will only take three years for it to fully recover.”
“Will it harm the ninth Prince’s fate and Dragon Qi?”
“I won ‘t,” Cui Lao smiled confidently.
“For example, if it’s like a fish and water, the Tai Yuan God Source is the fish and the ninth Prince’s dragon energy is the water. The fish lives in the water, so how can it hurt the water?”
“Qing ‘er will remember.” Cui Xiuqing put away the jade box solemnly.
He also felt that it was unfair to her. Although she was raised by the family, she was still his own granddaughter.
