Chapter 986: The couple bows to each other and is escorted to the bridal chamber
Just as Lin Zhongtian said, Yun Ye got married today, which was a great day. What was even more rare was that he and Xin Yue were in love, which could be said to be double happiness.
On such a day, unless necessary, Lin Zhongtian really didn't want to kill people himself, so as not to ruin today's good mood.
But unfortunately, the power of the Tiger Gang was really beyond his expectations.
In Chang'an City, under the feet of the emperor, the Tiger Gang actually had more than 20 armors.
With such strength, it was no wonder that after seeing the martial arts displayed by Lin Zhongtian, the White Tiger was still confident and thought he could keep the uninvited guest here.
In this case, Lin Zhongtian would not pretend.
He sighed quietly and walked over with a stick wrapped in iron at both ends.
More than 20 soldiers in the hall stood firm and looked at the young man in white who was not like an ordinary person in front of them with doubts.
White Tiger came to his senses and could not help but take two steps back. He pointed at the young man in white and said angrily: "Kill him and get a reward of fifty taels of gold!"
Money is attractive. As soon as this was said, many soldiers' eyes turned red, raised their weapons, and rushed forward with shouts.
"Bang--"
Lin Zhongtian swung the iron rod and smashed it on the chest of the person in front of him.
The originally hard armor was as fragile as paper in front of this barely good iron rod.
The iron hoop wrapped stick had not yet approached, and the energy filled with it had already touched the armor first, like a crusher at full power, easily crushing the fine iron and bombarding the chest of the soldier.
There was only a loud bang, and the soldier in front flew up, knocking over three or four people in succession like a cannonball, and then fell to the ground, spitting out a mouthful of bright red blood.
At this time, the armor on his chest had been twisted and sunken, as if there was a hole the size of a football out of thin air.
The soldier was covered in blood, and he struggled to move on the ground, then his head tilted and he was silent.
Seeing this scene, White Tiger and the strong crossbowmen around him were all shocked.
The other soldiers were also extremely shocked, but they had no time to react, because the young man in white had already turned around and rushed towards them.
"Bang! Bang! Bang!"
Countless loud noises like beating drums sounded almost at the same time.
The stick in the young man's hand was like water splashing, dancing with stick shadows all over the sky.
In just a few seconds, the young man in white was like a tiger entering a flock of sheep, unstoppable.
Those soldiers who weighed at least 200 kilograms after wearing armor were like light balls in front of the young man in white, and were easily picked up by the shadow of the stick danced by the young man in white, and smashed away with a bang.
Seeing the young man in white knock down half of the soldiers in the blink of an eye, Bai Lao Hu was terrified. He immediately turned his head and glared at the crossbowmen beside him who were also frightened and retreated repeatedly, saying:
"What are you doing? Shoot!"
The crossbowmen came to their senses and hurriedly pulled the trigger.
"Swish, swish, swish--"
Seven arrows flew out of the air and shot towards the young man in white.
Before they hit him, the young man in white shook his energy and blew away the arrows like a gust of wind, causing them to fall to the ground one after another.
Seeing this scene, the crossbowmen looked terrified. One of them couldn't help but fall to the ground and muttered: "Monster...monster!"
"He is a monster!"
"...This is impossible!"
White Tiger grabbed the crossbow angrily, looked at the young man in white who knocked down four more people in the blink of an eye, and hurriedly pulled the crossbow string.
When the crossbow was loaded, the young man in white had knocked down all the soldiers and came in front of Bai Lao Hu.
White Tiger suppressed his fear, raised his crossbow, and pulled the trigger.
"Buzz——"
The crossbow arrow had just been shot out, and before it flew a foot away, it was caught in the air by a slender big hand.
The young man in white held the bloody stick in his right hand and the arrow in his left hand. In the stunned eyes of White Tiger, he raised the three-edged iron arrowhead on the top of the arrow to his eyes.
"...Ordnance?"
Lin Zhongtian released his left hand, glanced at the dull face in front of him and said lightly: "White Tiger, you have a lot of hands and eyes!"
"Plop!"
White Tiger knelt heavily on the ground, looking at the expressionless young man in white in front of him, and forced a smile.
"Big... Big..."
"Bang!"
The shadow of the stick flew out, and the heads of the crossbowmen around White Tiger exploded like watermelons.
Blood splashed out and fell on White Tiger's sickly pale face, making the fear in his heart reach the extreme.
Lin Zhongtian swung the stick, and seeing that the blood and brains on the iron hoop could not be shaken off, he shook his head, threw the stick away, and then squatted in front of the white tiger, looking straight into his eyes, and said lightly:
"What do you answer when I ask? Do you understand?"
"Understand...understand!"
...
...
On the other side, Yun Ye and his best man group went through untold hardships and finally took the bride out.
Seeing the eldest brother of the Xin family, Yun Ye's father-in-law, carrying his daughter Xin Yue out of the door, the eunuch who had been waiting in the academy stepped forward and handed the imperial edict to Madam Yun in the envious eyes of the Xin family.
Poor her grandfather, Mr. Yushan, worked hard all his life, but he was only a fourth-rank official, and he couldn't even catch up with his granddaughter's marriage.
After the bride sat in the carriage, the entire Yun family's military support finally came out, and twenty-four guards in bright helmets and armor led the way in front, all wearing scarlet cloaks, looking very majestic.
Yun Ye was riding a tall horse, walking in the front. Lao Zhuang next to him was smiling. With a loud shout, the team started marching.
The Wuhou family’s wedding was different from that of civil officials and common people. The way was opened by war drums. Three drums sounded to inform heaven and earth, and all evils retreated.
On the way, the scattered men of the Yun family and the more than 100 elites sent by the emperor were busy in the forests on both sides, and they were swift to eliminate those desperate people who were instigated by greed.
In this way, Yun Ye took Xin Yue home, and his aunts and uncles stood in front of the gate to greet him.
Xin Yue’s maid Xiao Qiu helped her get off the carriage. Two felts embroidered with rich peony patterns were spread in front of the carriage. Every time Xin Yue took a step, someone picked up the felt at the back and spread it in front.
This is one of the rules for officials to get married, which means to rise step by step without getting muddy.
After entering the door, Xin Yue stepped over the saddle and the brazier, and then officially entered the courtyard with Yun Ye.
The next process was to worship heaven and earth, ancestors, parents, and finally the couple worshiped each other.
During this process, all the guests who came to attend the wedding banquet had to watch the ceremony.
With so many people, the house could not accommodate them, so the ceremony could only be completed in the yard.
Under the watchful eyes of the crowd, Yun Ye walked over with Xin Yue holding red flowers with a smile on his face.
But when he looked forward, he found that on both sides of the table where the spirit tablet was placed, only the old lady was sitting there with a smile on her face, and the other chair was empty.
Seeing this scene, Yun Ye's smile froze on his face, and then slowly withdrew.
At this moment, dark clouds rolled in the sky and thunder roared.
The guests in the yard looked up and looked at the sky in astonishment.
Yun Ye also looked up, and his face gradually became a little gloomy.
Cheng Chumo, who had already accepted the reality, frowned, and couldn't help but approach the housekeeper aunt, and whispered: "Didn't you calculate the auspicious day? Why does it look like it's going to rain?!"
"This..."
The housekeeper aunt looked embarrassed, and it seemed that she didn't expect such a thing to happen.
The guests had different expressions, whispering to each other, some worried, some gloating.
In the whole yard, only the old lady was smiling, as if she was not worried about the wedding at all.
Sure enough, the next second, the sky, which had been gradually overcast, changed color again.
The thunder dissipated, and the water vapor accumulated in the dark clouds did not fall, but rose to the sky, refracting the sunlight from the horizon into a rainbow.
The sun passed through the clouds, rendering the white clouds golden, and rays of light penetrated from behind the golden clouds, faintly outlining a vague "囍" character in the sky.
Yun Ye stared blankly at the natural wonders in the sky, and the guests beside him also changed their colors and looked at the sky in astonishment.
Only Xin Yue wore a red veil, with a curious face, not knowing what happened.
"After the rain, the sky cleared up, the auspicious clouds came from the east, and the rosy clouds appeared everywhere. This is a great auspicious sign!"
Amid the whispers, a slightly smiling voice came and was clearly heard by everyone.
Yun Ye was slightly startled, and immediately looked forward with all his might, only to see the handsome young man in white clothes appear at some point, sitting on the chair on the other side of the old lady.
Seeing this scene, Yun Ye finally smiled.
Lin Zhongtian smiled at him, then turned to look at the old lady and nodded gently.
The old lady understood, and immediately smiled and said that the wedding ceremony should proceed as usual.
After this, Yun Ye had no more worries in his heart, and took Xin Yue to worship the heaven and earth, the ancestors, and the two parents in front of him, and then, under the witness of the old lady and Lin Zhongtian, he and Xin Yue and her husband worshipped each other.
After the worship, a bridesmaid cut a strand of their hair, braided it into a braid, and put it in a small box.
This is the so-called married couple.
The bridesmaid handed the box to Xin Yue, and then sent the bride to the bridal chamber.
As for the groom, he naturally couldn't run away at this time. Yun Ye got married, and all the civil and military officials in the court came to celebrate. Even His Majesty specially adjourned for this. Yun Ye naturally had to repay such courtesy.
The wedding banquet finally began. As a junior, Yun Ye first accompanied the elders to drink happily, and then entertained the prince and the princes with Cheng Chumo, Niu Jianhu, and Chang Sun Chong.
As for the juniors brought by the ministers in the court, as long as they were not particularly familiar, Yun Ye didn't have to give them face.
After the banquet, Yun Ye drank at least a hundred cups if not a thousand cups.
Fortunately, at this time, his internal strength was just beginning to form, and his true energy was self-generated and continuous. A mere hundred cups of fine wine could not make him drunk.
When it got dark, the front yard was still very lively and full of guests, but at this time, the groom Yun Ye claimed that he could not hold his liquor, and finally quietly got away from the table and entered the bridal chamber.
Looking at the back of Yun Ye walking into the bridal chamber, Lin Zhongtian, standing behind the tree, smiled slightly.
The lanterns hanging on this tree have been removed, and this is the darkest place in the entire backyard.
The people standing behind the tree are not only Lin Zhongtian, but also another old acquaintance of Yun Ye, Hong Cheng, the leader of the Baiqi Division.
Hong Cheng opened his eyes wide and tried his best to read the note in his hand under the dim tree. The more he read, the more frightened he became.
After reading it, he stuffed the note into his arms and said solemnly: "Thank you, sir, I will report it to your majesty right away!"
Hong Cheng paused and asked in a low voice: "Sir, don't you want to discuss this matter with Yun Hou?"
Lin Zhongtian shook his head: "Today is his big day. Even if he wants to talk, he has to wait until after the wedding night. Otherwise, it is not a good thing for the groom to enter the wedding night with a heavy heart."
Hong Cheng understood what he meant, and immediately raised the corner of his mouth, bowed, and left in a hurry.
