Soon, Wei Lin reorganized the wedding team, mounted a white horse, and slowly moved forward. Now there were several knights accompanying him. He was not afraid that anyone would dare to come out to cause trouble again, but when he thought about what the beast left behind when he left, he couldn't help but
I was a little worried, but after thinking about it carefully, those few people just wanted to protect Yun Rou, so they tightened their grip on the horse's rope and decided: "Since they are benefactors, no matter what the man named Ma plans to do, I will protect them and leave safely.
"
At the back of the team, Hua Yuan'er put her hands behind her head and looked contented.
Tang Ji was a little confused and couldn't help asking: "Brother Hua, do you know that you are not afraid of the county magistrate's son?"
"Afraid? Why should I be afraid?" Hua Yuan'er seemed to have heard something interesting, and she laughed twice and comforted her casually: "Brother Tang Ran, just keep your heart in your belly, I'm here."
, no one dares to touch you, just eat in peace!"
After hearing what he said, Tang Ji shut his mouth. If the other party really had a particularly powerful identity that could suppress the man named Ma, then he wouldn't have to leave Yanshui County in a hurry. After all, he was really tired now.
In this way, several people followed the team and finally stopped in front of a gorgeous and majestic mansion. It was very festive and decorated with lights. There were also many onlookers standing outside the gate. They were smiling and chattering.
What are they talking about.
Tang Ji took a few people and stepped aside to let Wei Lin complete the normal ceremony.
Then, two servants of the Wei family came over quickly, and one of them said with a smile: "Thank you to the knights for rescuing my young master and young lady. The young master asked the villain to entertain several of them first. Please invite some knights."
Come with me."
"Let's go and see what good food you have!" Hua Yuan'er stretched and walked towards the mansion first.
According to the current custom, the bride is usually received in the morning and worshiped in the evening. If the woman's family is particularly wealthy, she may also stay at the woman's house for lunch at noon. However, Chu Yunrou's family is poor, and Ma Chun'an has evil intentions, so she was taken into the hospital early.
Home.
However, although they worshiped in the evening, the Wei family had already gathered many guests at noon, so it was natural for them to have a banquet.
Going back and forth along the way wasted a lot of time, and now it was only about an hour before noon, so the kitchen had already started to get busy, and guests were already seated at the banquet in the main courtyard. Hua Yuan'er randomly picked a pretty good one.
He took his seat and greeted Tang Ji: "Brother Tang, come on, come and sit down."
Tang Ji did not move, but looked at him like a fool. This side was located at the far east side of his eyes, and the table was a bit larger. It was obviously the main seat. Usually only the owner and his immediate family members could sit here. This was the first time for the four of them.
A stranger coming to Wei's house is definitely not suitable.
The servant next to him also looked embarrassed and reminded softly: "Young hero, this is the chief seat."
Hearing this, Hua Yuan'er raised his head and looked around. He scratched his head in embarrassment, but still retorted stiffly: "What's wrong with the chairperson? Can't I sit down? If it wasn't for me, your bride would have been taken away.
If someone robbed them, the wedding banquet might have been gone long ago...hehehehe."
In the middle of what he said, he was dragged away by Tang Ji. The latter did not forget to add with a smile: "You make normal arrangements and ignore him."
The two servants breathed a sigh of relief, otherwise they would have been unable to explain to the master for a while. They forced a smile on their faces and followed quickly.
Soon, the four of them chose an empty table and sat down. Hua Yuan'er took the water from the servant and turned to Tang Ji and asked: "Brother Tang, your accent doesn't sound like you are from Hengzhou. From now on."
Where did it come from?”
Tang Ji raised his eyebrows slightly and replied with a natural expression: "Lao Cheng and I are both from Huaizhou, and Lao Su is from Kyoto."
"Huaizhou? Kyoto? So far?" Hua Yuan'er seemed to be interested. He crossed his legs, pushed back his hair covering his eyes, and asked: "You should also know what dogs in the northwest look like now, right? You guys
What are you doing here?"
Tang Ji and Su Qing looked at each other, then smiled lightly and said: "I have a relative in Dingzhou, and I came here to find and take him away."
"Dingzhou? That's a long way around!" Hua Yuan'er took a sip of tea, picked up the cold dishes on the table and stuffed it into his mouth.
"How far is it?" Tang Ji looked puzzled, then looked at him and asked: "Isn't Dingzhou right next to Yingzhou? Normally it's only three to five days' journey, so why bother talking about a long way?"
Hua Yuan'er blinked: "You don't know yet? Yingzhou was closed five days ago. Yingzhou City can only be entered but not exited. Lintian Pass in the northwest is also inaccessible. You want to go to Dingzhou?
We can only go around to Xuyuan from Jin County in the north, and then enter Dingzhou from Xuyuan."
After hearing what he said, both Tang Ji and Su Qing were a little surprised. The former thought for a while and was about to continue asking questions, but was interrupted by someone.
A middle-aged man wearing a reddish-brown satin gown and with a shiny face came over, raised his hands and said, "I'm Wei Long, thank you to the four knights for coming to my rescue. Please accept my compliments."
Tang Ji immediately returned the greeting: "Master Wei, you're welcome."
Hua Yuan'er pursed her lips, held her chopsticks in her mouth, and said in ventriloquism: "Old man, is the food ready? I'm almost starving to death."
"Come on, come on, young hero, please wait a moment." Wei Long replied with a smile, but even so, he felt a little unhappy when he heard the other party say such rude words. He actually didn't want to be with these people.
There was too much contact, and after a few polite words, I found an excuse to leave.
Looking at his back, Hua Yuan'er complained: "If I had known, I wouldn't have made such a mark, I haven't had breakfast yet!"
After saying that, he found Cheng Tie chewing on the buns. He couldn't help but licked his lips and said with a smile: "Brother Cheng, give me some buns!"
"Okay, there are three left, so I'll give them all to you." Cheng Tiehan replied with a smile, and then handed over all the buns wrapped in oil paper bags.
"Thank you." Hua Yuan'er took it and took a big bite. After chewing two mouthfuls, he said, "It's a little cold, but it tastes pretty good."
Cheng Tie nodded slightly, but looking at him eating so deliciously, he suddenly remembered something. After thinking about it over and over, he patted his head in realization: "Old Suntou is probably going to starve to death..."
In an inn dozens of streets away from Wei's house, an old man with messy white hair and a black eye patch walked down from the second floor in a daze, lying on the counter and looking at Shopkeeper Lu who was sitting inside.
Shouted: "Hey, have the three boys who came with me come back?"
Shopkeeper Lu was so frightened by his posture that he shook his head in panic: "Not yet... not yet."
"Damn it, where have these three brats gone to fool around? They really don't care about the old man's life or death!" Sun Yufu looked at the door and scolded twice, then fixed his eyes on Shopkeeper Lu behind him: "You,
Go buy some food for the old man, put it on the boy's account, and give you a quarter of an hour. If you don't come back then, don't blame the old man for blowing up your shabby shop!"
After saying that, he fell asleep directly on the bench nearby.
Shopkeeper Lu was so frightened that he almost shed tears. He ran out the door without any delay.
The perspective switched back. In a short time, the main courtyard of the Wei family was filled with people. The servants also brought many delicacies to the table. Hua Yuan'er didn't care about so many etiquettes, eating only one dish and one steamed bun.
It was a joy, but it also scared away the guests who originally planned to share a table.
Seeing his starving look, Tang Ji helplessly covered his forehead, and then asked: "Brother Hua, is what you just said true?"
"What did you say just now? Oh, of course the news you said about Yingzhou is true. I just came back from Yingzhou three days ago." Hua Yuan'er filled her mouth so much that her words were a little unclear.
After chewing the food and swallowing it, he picked up the flask and poured a glass of wine to drink: "Tsk, tsk, tsk, the wine is not bad. Brother Tang, please stop thinking about it and take a detour. Yingzhou city is quite chaotic.
It's not a good idea to squeeze in, but if you insist on going into the city, it's not impossible."
Hearing this, Tang Ji's eyes lit up: "Do you have any idea?"
"You can only enter and not leave Yingzhou City now, and you have to be someone who doesn't know martial arts. You should be fine. As for Brother Su and Brother Cheng, it's definitely not possible." Hua Yuan'er replied casually, and then picked up another piece of mutton.
Put it into his mouth: "If you really want to go in together, then you can only..."
Halfway through his words, he was interrupted by a servant who suddenly stumbled over from the front yard: "No, no, the Ma family is knocking on the door!"
