"Let's go——!!!" Deng Fei shouted at the top of his voice after receiving Duke Dingguo's order.
The entire team marched toward the south gate of Tongshun City.
At the front of the team were the fifty cavalrymen who were responsible for leading the way and guiding them. Behind them were Yan Bing and Lingyue's carriages.
As for the other two vans, one was occupied by the old man, Uncle Qin, Feng Chen and Lu Liang, and the other was occupied by Xue Kui, Cai Yi and Wang Wenmiao.
At the end of the procession was a dowry carriage driven by a dozen soldiers.
The remaining thirty cavalrymen lined up in two rows and guarded both sides of the entire team.
Such a grand occasion naturally attracted countless people to watch. Based on the red silk gift at the end of the motorcade, it was inferred that this was a marriage proposal team. We also knew that this horse team came from Dingguo Duke's mansion, but who was proposing marriage to whom?
, no one knows.
Some people guessed that it was done on behalf of Senior Brother Ding Guogong, and some speculated that it was done on behalf of her fifteenth senior brother. But no one could guess that it was done on behalf of Duke Ding Guo himself.
At the military camp, Wu Qidao also ordered two thousand men and horses, loaded with guns and ammunition. He and two thousand households personally led the team, passed the west gate of Tongshun County, circled half the city, and set off in a mighty manner.
The scouting horses at the front of this army have frequent exchanges, which ensures that the army and the marriage proposal team are always about ten miles away and follow them silently. The soldiers responsible for escorting the marriage proposal team at the end also pay attention to these scouting horses.
Turn a blind eye.
After all, they are all in the same team.
As early as three days ago, Wu Qidao specially held a planning meeting, summoned all the members of the two thousand households and more than 20 hundred households who participated in the operation, and single-handedly formulated the route to Xuzhou and all the information along the way.
Even Deng Baihu, who was responsible for leading the marriage proposal team, personally selected the resting station.
Not only was this young man smart, but he was also one of the backbone of the two thousand soldiers who came out to fight. He was equal in ability and loyalty, so Yan Bing didn't notice anything along the way.
Because she herself was busy doing "self-examination" with her future wife in the carriage.
"Madam...I've been kneeling for almost half an hour...is it...it's almost time for me to get up..." Yan Bing begged while kneeling on the ground.
"Stop talking nonsense! What if I was staring at other women outside? Are you angry? Tell me! Are you angry?" Lingyue obviously hasn't calmed down yet, her tone is still strong.
Yan Bing secretly raised his eyes to glance at Lingyue, and whispered softly: "You are not a womanizer..."
As a result, Lingyue heard these words and became even more angry. She raised her finger and pointed at Yan Bing and said, "That's right!! I, a slutty woman, am already rubbing shoulders with you! What else do you want!?? Not so fast!
Kneel down for me!! Don’t talk too much!!”
Yan Bing lowered his head silently, feeling secretly sad.
And the other side.
Capital City, Imperial Palace.
"Your Majesty, Duke Ding's team has already set off." Zeng Ke came to the Imperial Study Room, bowed to Emperor Xuansi and reported.
"Oh?" Emperor Xuansi slowly put down the memorial in his hand, and then a smirk appeared on his face, and he said to Zeng Ke: "Then...just do what we said before."
"Yes." Zeng Ke responded with his hands raised and stepped back.
So, an hour after Yan Bing set off, a escorting team that started from the Imperial City, playing and playing all the way, passed through the west gate of Tongshun City and arrived at the gate of Duke Dingguo's Mansion.
Along the way, four-color candies and red envelopes containing copper plates were constantly thrown at the crowd.
Lin Wanquan, the eunuch who announced the decree, walked out of the team and first opened a red scroll, which was full of wedding orders for women. As he read out, boxes of gold and silver jewelry were moved into the Dingguo Palace by the guards.
Wang Li, Zeng Ke and Zhao Cheng, who were in charge of guarding the house, were completely confused.
Until Lin Wanquan read the last sentence: "Bank notes! One million taels!", the people eating melons took a breath of cold air!
I saw two palace guards working together to lift a wooden box covered with red silk and carried it directly into Yan Bing's bedroom.
After doing all this, Lin Wanquan gently put the red scroll into the sleeves of his robe, clasped his hands behind his back, and led everyone back to play and play again. He did not read out any of the emperor's decrees, but just stood in front of the Dingguo Duke's mansion and read a copy.
The gift list did not explain any origin, but anyone can listen to the content of the gift list, and it was also a dowry for a woman.
A group of common people came and dispersed in confusion, talking and speculating among themselves, completely unable to understand what His Majesty is doing today.
As for Wang Li, Zhou Zeng, and Zhao Cheng, looking at the red silk gifts all over the yard, they looked like a monk two feet tall and couldn't figure it out. They were in a daze, and in the end they could only carry all the gift boxes piled in the yard angrily.
In the main hall, we will wait for the master of the house to come back.
As for Yan Bing, his kneeling legs were already a little numb at this time. He could only use the sea of qi to dredge his blood vessels, and his expression softened slightly.
After all, Lingyue still felt sorry for Yan Bing. She let out a long sigh, raised her hand and patted the seat next to her, and said softly: "Okay, come and sit!"
Yan Bing quickly stood up with a chuckle, brushed off the dirt on his skirt, sat next to Lingyue, and tilted his head on her shoulder.
"Why are you so shameless!? If I give you a pole, just climb along it, right!? Sit up straight!!" Lingyue scolded with a straight face.
Yan Bing, on the other hand, looked like a pig who was not afraid of boiling water. He slid down and simply lay on Lingyue's knees, saying coquettishly: "My legs hurt... I can't sit up straight..."
"I've really convinced you!" Lingyue was defeated again by Yan Bing's shameless behavior. She turned her anger into a smile, pushed Yan Bing and said, "Turn your legs over and I'll rub them for you."
Yan Bing smiled evilly and nodded, turned around, put his legs on Lingyue's knees, and rested his head on his arms, with a very comfortable expression.
However, Lingyue suddenly wrapped her legs with one hand and punched her hard. Yan Bing sat up in pain, but was pushed down by Lingyue's palm, and then hit her legs with another punch.
, Yan Bing screamed in pain.
"Do you still remember what I told you yesterday? You can't remember, can you!!?? Let me help you deepen your thoughts! There will be another time!! Let's see if I don't break your legs directly!!" Lingyue
As he spoke, he punched her down one after another. The force was controlled just right so that it would not hurt her muscles or bones, but still cause her to suffer. The tragic screams in the carriage resounded through the sky.
"These two people!!! Even if they are getting married soon, they have to be together, right!? In front of so many people! And on a carriage!! How unbecoming!!" The old man's van was behind Yan Bing's car.
, while shaking his head and yelling, it was obviously a misunderstanding.
Feng Chen immediately stood up and said with a wicked smile, "How about I get out of the car and scold her! It's really too much!"
The old man rolled his eyes at Feng Chen and then said: "Don't come here! I don't know you yet!? You just want to get into the girl's car in Caiyi! You two are not married yet! Don't taint my innocence!"
"Then junior sister is sleeping in the same room as Lingyue! Master, why don't you care!?" When Feng Chen heard this, he was completely unconvinced.
The old man looked directly at Feng Chen and said slowly: "How can you compare with your junior sister!? Your junior sister relies on her own ability. What about you? In addition to being able to sit in the car and make silly fun of other girls, what else can you do?
What do you want!? Stop embarrassing yourself! This is for your own good as a teacher, otherwise the duck you get will be eaten away by you!"
Feng Chen was speechless by the old man's words. He could only vent his anger on Lu Liang and turned around and said, "Why are you so happy? You will be the only old virgin left in the whole family! You still have the nerve to be happy!"
!”
"Cough cough!!! Cough cough cough cough cough!!!" Uncle Qin, who was sitting beside him, was innocently lying on the gun. He couldn't breathe smoothly and almost choked himself to death. He started coughing violently...
"These two are really... It's broad daylight and they're still on the road... ugh~" Cai Yi blushed in the car and lamented to herself.
However, they found that Wang Wenmiao and Xue Kui, who had just been chatting and laughing together, now had long white faces and were silent.
"What's wrong with you two? Your faces are so pale? Do you feel a little dizzy?" Caiyi looked at the two of them with concern.
Xue Kui sneered twice, gritted his teeth and said: "It's true that I feel dizzy...but I feel like vomiting...!!"
Wang Wenmiao had a gloomy expression. He opened the curtains, looked out the window, and kept sighing...
Cai Yi can understand why Xue Kui is like this, but why is Wen Miao also in this attitude?
At this moment, the carriage gradually became quiet. Caiyi was the only one with a question mark on her head.
…………
………………
Although the marriage proposal team was huge, fortunately they were all sitting on horseback or carriages. They gradually distanced themselves from the army behind them and led the way into the first stop of the trip, Cangzhou.
Deng Fei, the leader of the team, saw that it was getting dark, so he rode to Duke Dingguo's carriage and asked in a low voice: "Mr. Dingguo, Cangzhou is ahead of us. It's getting late. Do you want to go to the city to rest?"
"Okay... I'll rest in Cangzhou tonight..." Yan Bing, who had just suffered "torture", responded weakly.
Deng Fei took the order and retreated, shouting at the top of his lungs: "Enter the city——!!!"
One of the leading cavalry guards immediately ran out, urged his horse to go straight to Cangzhou City, and notified the gatekeepers of Cangzhou City. The gatekeepers immediately opened the city gate completely and lined up to greet him.
A group of people drove into Cangzhou City in a mighty manner.
After Wu Qidao's advance deduction and arrangement, the cavalry team naturally led the team straight to the largest inn in Cangzhou, "Jiahe Building".
When he arrived in front of the building, Deng Fei got off his horse, walked into the inner hall, and said two words to the shopkeeper: "Clear the building!"
The shopkeepers are all stupid...
Everyone who was drinking and eating in the inn hall was also dumbfounded...
Deng Fei, on the other hand, took out the Dingguo official seal that Yan Bing had given him before leaving, and a one hundred tael banknote, and reiterated: "Clear the building! Immediately!"
The shopkeeper was looking at the official seal in a daze, and the diners in the lobby had already walked out of the building consciously, but... no one gave them money...
Deng Fei saw that the shopkeeper's face was getting more and more ugly, so he didn't say much. He took out another hundred taels of silver notes from his wallet and put it on the counter. At this time, the shopkeeper's face gradually changed from sadness to joy, and he looked at the hall
He shouted: "Don't even look at it! Clear out the guests quickly!! Tell the Hakkas!! Room and board are free!! Please forgive me!!"
The waiters then took the order and knocked on the doors of each room one after another.
Li Bing had just limped out of the car at this time. Seeing people walking out in groups in the brightly lit restaurant, he felt something was wrong and stumbled into the inner hall again.
Deng Fei, who was urging the guards to check the kitchen, saw Ding Guo Gong coming in and quickly bowed and saluted.
“Dong Guo Gong!”
Yan Bing nodded, pointed at the crowd, and asked slowly: "What is this...?"
Deng Fei lowered his head and cupped his hands, and replied loudly: "To ensure the safety of our country, I have ordered people to clear out the inn." As he spoke, he looked up and saw Yan Bing's brows frowning slightly, and quickly added: "Xiaguan
I have already given the innkeeper two hundred taels of silver as compensation."
Yan Bing gradually felt relieved. He limped up to Deng Fei, patted him on the shoulder and said, "My Lord, I won't say anything this time. Don't do this again in the future."
"Yes!" Deng Fei nodded.
However, Deng Fei's operation did have some benefits.
At least we don't have to worry about not having enough room.
A huge restaurant with three floors, even the guards don't need to find another inn.
People carried luggage, those who drove horses to the hospital, and those who drove carriages.
The old man who had just gotten out of the car grabbed Uncle Qin's arm with a mysterious look on his face, pulled him aside, and said to Old Man Qin mysteriously: "Brother... in a moment, junior brother will take you to a place...
…”
After saying that, the curve of the corners of his mouth gradually lengthened and rose, making Qin Ming look confused...
