Not only Liu Zongmin was stunned, but Commander Yuan, who was always calm about changes, was also dumbfounded. Liu Ziguang's move was too outrageous. Although the two armies had always had conflicts, it would not be like this. Taking advantage of someone's happy day to cause trouble was really too much.
Liu Zongmin is a big horse thief who controls Henan in Guanzhong. He has tens of thousands of elite men under his command. Yuan Chonghuan spent a lot of effort to recruit this powerful team. To be honest, Yuan Chonghuan's family depends entirely on this experienced cavalry. Wu Sangui
After all, the troops trained in Huguang were still too young to be useful against the Xixia people, so Yuan Chonghuan was very arrogant towards Liu Zongmin, giving him the rank of Commander-in-Chief, not disrupting the reorganization of his subordinates, and even allowing his troops to do some unethical things.
, For example, when Liu Zongmin got married this time, Governor Yuan would not interfere even though he knew that his wife was snatched away. Anyway, Liu Zongmin was an official of the imperial court, and marrying any Guanzhong woman would not be regarded as an insult to her, so why bother disturbing other people's good affairs.
Liu Zongmin has strong martial arts skills and a rough personality. He is a rare general, and he is also an extremely difficult character to control. It is Yuan Chonghuan's strategy to deliberately maintain the conflict between him and Liu Ziguang's red shirt army. Only in this way will Liu Zongmin lean on him.
He followed him wholeheartedly, but he didn't expect that the conflict would get bigger and bigger, and it would lead to the situation today. If Liu Ziguang really disturbed Liu Zongmin's wedding, this balanced situation would be broken.
If they don't recognize him and lead his troops out of Chang'an, this will be a big trouble!
In the flash of lightning, Yuan Chonghuan had already thought so much in his mind. Wu Sangui beside him was in the same mood, wondering why his eldest brother was so reckless this time. Forget about the usual friction, this time he led troops to barge into someone else's wedding. This time
It was too shameless, and it intensified internal conflicts in the Western Army, which was not a good thing. However, Wu Sangui, who was careful, discovered something. After hearing Liu Ziguang's voice, the bride who had been struggling suddenly stopped.
He stopped moving, as if he had taken a reassurance.
Yuan Chonghuan had just stood up from the chair, and before he had time to speak, Liu Ziguang had already strode over, put his arm around Liu Zongmin's shoulders, and said with an unobtrusive look: "Old Liu, you are too ungrateful, brothers take concubines.
I still want to trouble you to go out of your way to help, but you still don’t want to take a big buck, you are just a cold brother to me!"
Liu Zongmin was stunned and didn't understand what the other party said. He only felt a big hand grabbing his shoulder and it hurt. He tried to break free but couldn't. Liu Ziguang faced everyone and said: "Dear guests and friends, today it's me.
On the day when Liu Ziguang accepted his concubine, my brother Liu Zongmin saw that I was too busy, so he helped arrange the matter. The ceremony was also held in his house. I was a little late due to my busy schedule, so it was all thanks to old brother Liu to arrange it. Here I want to
Thank him very much."
This time Liu Zongmin understood, he was trying to steal my wife! It was okay, Liu Zongmin immediately jumped up, but there were no double swords around him, and his bare hands were no match for Liu Ziguang. He was pinched by Liu Ziguang before he could get up.
Holding it down like a chicken, Liu Ziguang said fiercely: "The groom is here, and you, the best man, should leave. You have nothing to do here!" As he said this, he pulled off Liu Zongmin's red cross.
Liu Zongmin's subordinates in the hall were furious when they saw this. They were carrying knives. They stood up and drew their knives out of their sheaths. But before the knives were completely drawn out, dozens of firecrackers were already pressed against their waists and walls.
On the street, red-shirted fire gun soldiers also appeared on the eaves. Everyone was in an uproar. The guests were so frightened that they didn't dare to move. They were afraid that the fire gun would make a hole in their body if they moved a little. The hundreds of birds were playing all the time.
Feng also stopped.
Liu Zongmin said angrily: "Liu Ziguang, don't go too far!"
Liu Ziguang sneered twice, pulled Liu Zongmin over, and said close to his ear: "I'm here to help you get off the stairs, don't be shameless!" After saying that, he shook him off and walked straight to the bride. The two
The woman was so frightened that she had already let go of her hands and hid aside in fear.
Liu Ziguang paused in front of the bride, and suddenly made a surprising move, reaching out and lifting the red hijab. The audience was in an uproar again, but this time they were not frightened, but shocked by Dong Xiaowan's beauty. Dong Xiaowan did not wear any makeup.
As the saying goes, hibiscus comes out of clear water and naturally becomes carved. The reputation of Qinhuai's famous prostitute is not just blown. The beautiful and refined appearance of the Moon Palace Fairy made everyone present open their mouths in surprise, and the saliva dripped half a foot long, which made them
What was even more surprising was that the bride actually had a piece of cloth stuffed in her mouth!
Liu Ziguang took away the handkerchief from Dong Xiaowan's mouth, and Dong Xiaowan, who had been wronged for a long time, cried out. People from the capital are so generous, and in front of so many people, they actually cried on Liu Ziguang's shoulder. Liu Ziguang patted her gently while
Holding her back, he explained to everyone: "Dear guests and friends, to be honest with everyone, this is Dong Xiaowan, the famous Dong family in Jiangnan. This time he came to Guanzhong, named Lao Jun, to marry me.
I have been busy with official duties and have not had time to deal with this matter. Unexpectedly, Mr. Liu, Commander-in-Chief Liu, has a warm heart and is eager to meet people's needs. He arranged a banquet in his house with lights and colorful decorations, invited everyone, and sent elite soldiers to pretend to be in charge.
Hou Yiming brought Miss Dong here because he wanted to give me a surprise. I really have to thank him in front of everyone today."
Seeing Dong Xiaowan's actions and listening to Liu Ziguang's words, everyone finally understood that this beautiful woman was the famous Dong Xiaowan. Dong Xiaowan and Liu Ziguang had a marriage contract for a long time, but they were seen by the bandit Liu Zongmin.
In a fit of lust, he actually plundered it with the intention of being the overlord. Fortunately, Marquis Zhenwu arrived in time. Otherwise, by the time the raw rice is cooked, the mess would have been huge, and at least thousands of people would have died.
It can be said that the Marquis of Zhenwu is very capable, he speaks so artistically, and he can speak clearly without hurting Liu Zongmin's face, making him seem like a really good colleague who is willing to help others.
If the direction of public opinion just now was slightly biased in favor of Liu Zongmin, now it has become completely one-sided. It is not Liu Ziguang but Liu Zongmin who is playing too outrageous. Anyone who loves his concubine dares to steal it, and who else dares not
Rob, everyone decided to hide their daughters, concubines, etc. when they got home, so that they could not be seen by the lawless General Liu.
Yuan Chonghuan was also very angry, thinking that Liu Zongmin was too bold to touch Liu Ziguang's woman. Who in Jiangnan didn't know the story of Zhenwu Marquis and the eldest princess? What could Liu Ziguang do to his own woman?
It can be done. Fortunately, today's matter ended in time. If Dong Xiaowan really let Liu Zongmin sleep... what would the outcome be? Yuan Chonghuan no longer dared to think about it.
Furthermore, who is Dong Xiaowan? She is a socialite in the capital who has a wide range of friends. Her friends are all celebrities from the south of the Yangtze River, literary figures, and can talk to many big shots in the court. How can such a woman be just a mere mortal?
How can a general be married? To say the least, he, Liu Zongmin, didn't know the heights of the world and robbed Dong Xiaowan, causing a lot of trouble. When the capital comes to blame him, he will still treat him as a thief if he slaps his butt.
But it was a disaster, so after all, Liu Zongmin went too far in this matter, and even Yuan Chonghuan could not stand on his side at all.
Wu Sangui was also shocked. He never expected that the woman Liu Zongmin was going to marry was Dong Xiaowan. If he had known earlier, he would have been the first to refuse because Dong Xiaowan was a close friend of his wife Chen Yuanyuan. If he allowed Dong Xiaowan to be insulted, he would also be the same in the future. Don't even think about getting into Chen Yuanyuan's bed.
The atmosphere at the scene was very awkward for a while. No one dared to speak. They could only hear Dong Xiaowan's cry. After a while, Yuan Chonghuan said: "Since Mr. Liu is kind enough to arrange the wedding in his mansion, let's go ahead with it." Go down."
Only then did everyone react. The drummers continued to play "Hundred Birds of Phoenix", the frightened servants continued to serve food and wine, and the firecrackers on the roof also put away their weapons and disappeared into the darkness. Only Liu Zongmin and the generals under him had extremely ugly faces with black and red faces. Liu Zongmin's eyes were red with jealousy. He turned around and walked into the back hall to get his two swords, but was hugged by Hao Yaoqi: "Mr. Whistle, what are you doing?"
"Damn it, let's fight! The worst is, I won't be the commander-in-chief anymore." Liu Zongmin was furious.
"Commander, wake up! There are cannons at our door. There are three layers of soldiers inside and outside, with a total of 2,000 people. They are a barrage of fire and blunderbuss. There are only a hundred brothers in the mansion. How can we fight? For one Is it worth it for these little ladies to risk the lives of so many brothers?" Hao Yaoqi persuaded sincerely without relaxing his grip.
Liu Zongmin suddenly lost his temper, sat down on the ground, and hit the wall with his fist: "That little bitch is so beautiful, I really can't bear to give in! Liu Ziguang is so hateful, he always goes against me, one day I will I will crush him to ashes!"
Hao Yaoqi advised: "Commander, if you want to be more liberal, we have to be patient today! It's not a big deal if Liu Ziguang takes this little girl away. After a while, brothers can help the commander get it back. Quan is a good horse." The horse was stolen and was recovered after being ridden for a few days. Commander, do you think this is the case?"
This was a good thing to say, and it immediately relieved Liu Zongmin's heart. He muttered a little unwillingly: "Damn it, this horse was stolen before I even got it. It's too cowardly." In this way, the action is no longer intense.
In the hall, Liu Ziguang and Dong Xiaowan are going to the hall to get married. They do a full set of dramas. It is still in this auditorium, and Yuan Chonghuan is still the temporary elder. The two of them bow to heaven and earth and then to the high hall, and then after the couple bows, the process of sending them to the bridal chamber is naturally unnecessary. Liu Ziguang He bowed his hands to express his gratitude to everyone, and then said: "The bridal chamber will not occupy Mr. Liu's mansion. I will take my concubine to leave first. Please use it for your convenience."
A small sedan chair was carried directly to the hall and took Dong Xiaowan away. Liu Ziguang and his men followed him away. In the end, he did not forget to take away the pile of silver notes at the reception desk. After all, this was the concubine of the Marquis of Zhenwu. , not Liu Zongmin getting married.
The newlyweds had left, and the guests did not dare to stay for long, so they all fled on the pretext that they had had enough food and wine. Yuan Chonghuan originally wanted to say something to Liu Zongmin, but after thinking about it, he decided not to stay, and left with Wu Sangui in annoyance.
