Not long after Sima Rulan came to the Middle-earth continent, Xiong Bailing led the Xiong family's large tribe across the sea and followed her. In the past five years, all enemies who threatened the eldest lady of the city had to pass through the great tribe and fell at their feet. There are many sects
These two hundred guys, who are comparable in size to black bears, are already very famous in the Central Plains martial arts world. Now, standing in the small courtyard of the Si Ma Hall are eight giant men carrying machetes on their backs, who are members of the Dazhen tribe.
Hua Bushi walked into the front hall of the courtyard of the Si Ma Guan. The three people in the hall stood up and saluted. He clasped his fists in return and stretched out his hands and said, "No need to be too polite. Everyone, please sit down."
Since he lost an arm in the secret cave of Swallowing Whale Island, Xiong Bailing made a prosthetic hand out of fine copper and mounted it on his right elbow. Although this prosthetic hand is not as flexible as the real arm, it can still freely perform the "Frightening Bear Claw" move. And he is not afraid of the sword and has become a weapon when fighting with others.
At this time, Xiong Bailing sat down on the wooden chair. His fine copper prosthetic arm pressed against the chair and made a "cluck" sound, almost breaking the chair handle. He looked at Hua Bushi, but his face looked like he was hesitant to speak.
Hua Bushi felt a little strange in his heart and asked, "Did Old Uncle Xiong and his Dazhen tribe encounter some trouble when they were stationed outside the city?"
"How can there be any trouble if any of the brave enemies of our Xiong family dares to offend?" Before Xiong Bailing could speak, a rough voice shouted first. It was Xiong Tiannan who was standing next to him [
"Dad and I came to the city this time just to ask you one thing, that is, when do you plan to marry my sister Lan'er?"
Hearing this, Hua Bushi was stunned, with a look of disdain on his face.
That day in Kaifeng City, under the pressure of Guolou Meng, the young master had to agree to marry Sima Rulan. The marriage was settled. However, the "Evil Dog Gate" immediately began to wreak havoc in Henan, Shandong, Zhejiang and Hebei. Expansion Hua Bushi led his subordinates to travel here and there to form branches and develop forces. The date for the wedding was delayed again and again.
In fact, this is the third time that Xiong Bailing asked Hua Bushi about the date of their marriage. The first two times, Xiong Bailing asked someone quietly when someone was nearby. But this time, he came directly to the door with a full speech. Xiong Tiannan, the cannon barrel of Guji, has obviously made up his mind to ask for a result.
Hua Bushi was speechless and turned his eyes to Chu Yiyi for help, hoping that she could help out. Chu Yiyi pursed her lips and said with a smile: "I am an outsider, and I shouldn't interfere in the matter between the young master and sister Lan'er, but this marriage has already been done." We have been engaged for five years, but we haven’t even formally bowed down yet, even though I’m still complaining about my sister Lan’er.”
Hua Bushi felt even more embarrassed and could only say: "Miss Lan'er is the lord of Okura City. The wedding ceremony must be grand and grand. Now the 'Evil Dog Gate' is at the critical moment of expanding its power. The sect is busy with affairs." I’m really free…”
Before he could finish speaking, Xiong Tiannan interrupted him with an angry snort and said, "This excuse you are looking for is too lame. Sister Lan'er is the eldest lady of our 'Wan Jin Tang'. Of course, she has a noble status. It is true that it is the wedding date." We can’t keep delaying it. If you want to regret your marriage, we don’t care. I will take Sister Lan’er back to Okura Island tomorrow.”
Xiong Tiannan had always been deeply in love with Sima Rulan and had made up his mind not to marry Lan'er's sister in this life. It was only after going through some twists and turns on the Whale Swallowing Island that he finally understood that Sima Rulan didn't love him. He had no choice but to hope. Don't give up this idea
Although the love in the heart of Mr. Xiong for sister Lan'er has disappeared, it remains the same as before, and is even deeper than before. Hua Bushi has repeatedly delayed the wedding. Bu Shi wants justice for Sima Rulan
When Xiong Tiannan said this, Hua Bushi blushed even more and hesitated: "Brother Tiannan, what are you talking about? I promised to marry Miss Lan'er, of course I will not break my promise."
Xiong Tiannan curled his lips and said: "You have always been a cunning boy who never breaks your promise. Who would have known that Sister Lan'er has spent so much effort helping you to develop your sect over the years and that you have also taken away our 'Wanjintang' and 'Okura Castle'?" If you still have any conscience at all, you should repay the favor instead of delaying and scolding me."
Seeing his son clenching his paws into fists and speaking aggressively, Xiong Bailing coughed heavily and scolded: "Nan'er, shut up and ignore me."
He stood up from the chair, took two steps, walked to Hua Bushi, bowed and said: "The unkind words of the dog without restraint are due to Mr. Xiong's lax upbringing. I am going to apologize to Mr. Hua."
Hua Bushi quickly returned the courtesy and said: "Young Master Xiong is outspoken, how dare you blame me?"
But Xiong Bailing shook his head and said: "Xiong received the great favor of Brother Sima for saving his life. He also made a vow on Swallowing Whale Island that day. Everyone in the Xiong family will sacrifice their lives to serve him. Wanjintang. Mr. Hua and Lan'er's niece are engaged. It's the future." The master of Jintang, Quanzi, should never do the following things to the young master."[
He glared at Xiong Tiannan and shouted: "Nan'er, why don't you kneel down and kowtow to Mr. Hua to apologize? Then when you go back, you can face the wall for three days and think about it carefully."
Xiong Tiannan has always been arrogant, but he has never been wronged like this. But after seeing his father's stern voice, he still felt awe in his heart and knelt on the ground and said: "It's my fault for shouting at you. I'm sorry to Master Hua."
Hua Bushi was about to reach out to help Xiong Tiannan, but he already bent down and "bang bang bang" banged his head three times, then stood up and strode outside the house.
Seeing Xiong Tiannan leave angrily without looking back, Hua Bushi was a little confused and didn't know what to do.
Xiong Bailing said: "When Quan Zili goes back, Xiong will definitely be punished. But this time I come to the city and I really have something to ask Mr. Hua."
He stared at Hua Bushi's face and said solemnly: "I don't know when the marriage between Mr. Hua and our city lord's eldest lady will be held. I and Elder Yao, Elder Chai and the others should make some preparations early."
Uncle Xiong pretended to be scolding his son, and it turned out that he was here for something.
Facing Xiong Tian, Nanhua Bushi could still find some excuses to be considerate, but when he questioned Xiong Bailing, he had to give a clear answer because Xiong Bailing and Sima Zhufeng were sworn brothers and Sima Rulan's authentic uncle. It is only natural for elders to ask questions about their niece’s marriage.
Hua Bushi could only say: "What Old Man Xiong said is that the wedding ceremony should indeed be arranged earlier, but this matter should not be too hasty. You have to report it to your father first, and you have to post to invite relatives and friends. This will take a lot of time. At least it can be done properly by the end of the year. I think the wedding might as well be tentatively held in the spring of next year. What does Mr. Xiong think?"
However, Xiong Bailing's face darkened and he said: "It's not yet the Dragon Boat Festival in May, and it won't be until the spring of next year that we have to wait for nearly a year to get married. How can this be done? I have made an agreement with Chai Lin, and now he is setting off for your father-in-law in Xiangjing. Mr. Hua, there is no need to worry. As for the messenger method you mentioned for inviting relatives and friends to Qianhuafang, it will take more than ten days to inform everyone in the world. Are you right, Mrs. Yiyi?"
Chu Yiyi smiled sweetly and said: "Master Xiong said that even if Mr. Hua's friends live in Qianhuafang at the end of the world, the wedding invitations can be delivered to them within ten days."
Xiong Bailing said: "If you calculate it this way, all these things can be done in ten and a half months. I have checked that the sixth day of the sixth month in the lunar calendar is the most auspicious day to hold a wedding banquet. According to Xiong's opinion, we decided to get married on that day." What do you think of Mr. Hua's salute?"
Hua Bushi was surprised and said: "You must not do it. The sixth day of June is only one month away. Now that we have not completed our important things in the capital, how can we return to Wuyang to get married so soon? In my nephew's opinion, we have to wait until the end of the year at the earliest." At that time, the wars in various regions will probably be calmed down, and then my nephew can hold the wedding with peace of mind."
"It's still too long to wait until the end of the year." Xiong Bailing frowned. "Even if you include the round trip from the capital to Wuyang, it's only a month. If that doesn't work, just set it on the first day of July. That's also an auspicious day..."
Hua Bushi is very eloquent. He was originally the best at negotiating conditions for doing business, but he didn't expect that Xiong Bailing, who usually seemed rude, was not as good at negotiating terms as Hua Bushi.
The two of them negotiated the date of their wedding just like businessmen doing business. Hua Bushi wanted to postpone the day, but Xiong Bailing tried his best to move forward. The two of them came up with their own reasons and argued with each other. Finally a compromise was reached and the wedding date was set for August 8th, three months later.
"Since the wedding date has been decided, Mr. Hua must always be careful not to delay Xiong and Elder Yao with any excuses. Elder Chai will make preparations in advance and use our "Wanjintang"'s strength to ensure that Lan'er's niece gets married. The ceremony was carried out perfectly and thoughtfully." Xiong Bailing finally showed a smile and said: "In this way, I won't disturb Mr. Hua too much, so I will say goodbye and leave the city."
After saying this, he bowed his hands to Hua Bushi and walked out of the door.
Seeing the Xiong family father and son leaving with several giant men from the Dazong tribe, Hua Bushi sat blankly on his chair for a long time, unable to speak.
Seeing the eldest young master's sad face, Chu Yiyi smiled sweetly and said: "Getting married is a great joy. Ordinary people are too late to be happy. The young master looks like this. Aren't you afraid that sister Lan'er will be sad when she sees it?"
