"What? If you don't play like this, why should you be so bloody!"
Jiang Ling started to complain directly. When the bloody plot in this novel happened to him, he was convinced.
Then, he quickly inquired about the reason for this incident.
It turns out that the Wang family and the Shangguan family are both business families, and they still do the same business.
However, in the past few years, the Wang family has become more and more powerful, steadily overpowering the Shangguan family.
Even the markets in other cities are almost occupied by the Wang family.
This has put a lot of pressure on the Shangguan family's business.
At this time, the Wang family suddenly mentioned that they wanted to marry the Shangguan family, and the Shangguan family immediately agreed, and even wished they could get married as soon as possible.
"It's the person named Wang again. It seems that in the world of immortality, people named Wang are my lifelong enemies!"
Then he inquired about the person who was engaged to Shangguan Xuan'er - Wang Xinji!
This Wang Xinji is the eldest son of the Wang family and the heir to the next head of the family. He has been in love with Shangguan Xuan'er for a long time, but Shangguan Xuan'er has no interest in him and everyone knows it.
"It's full of conspiracy."
Jiang Ling touched his chin. Just as he was thinking about countermeasures, Shangguan Xuan'er's father actually came to him.
"I heard that you have been very close to my daughter recently, but she is a young lady and you are a guard. You have to clarify your position. This period is very important. I don't want any bad rumors to happen."
…
It was also on this day that Shangguan Xuan'er was placed under house arrest. It was said that she had a big quarrel with her father over the engagement.
"Things are starting to take a turn for the worst. Is this the real test?"
But will Jiang Ling be afraid?
Absolutely impossible!
"Let's go and listen to Xuan'er's thoughts first."
…
Shangguan Xuan'er, who was in a daze in her boudoir, suddenly saw a figure jumping down from the roof of her house.
Seeing the appearance of this figure, I was suddenly stunned. Isn't this Jiang Ling?
However, she smiled at this time.
"You, a guard, actually sneaked into the lady's boudoir. Do you know how treasonous this is?"
"Ah? It's so serious. It seems that I have no choice but to leave it to you, Miss." Jiang Ling looked sad.
"Puff——"
Shangguan Xuan'er couldn't hold it back and laughed directly.
"Don't laugh so loudly, there are still people watching outside." Jiang Ling reminded.
"Oh." Shangguan Xuan'er immediately stiffened her face.
"I've heard everything. I'm here to ask you what you think. If you don't want to, I can take you away. As long as you don't come, you won't be able to stop me." Jiang Ling said sternly.
"Oh, I don't want to, but my father has made up his mind. This is a marriage of interests between aristocratic families. Many people have tried to resist, but they may not succeed. I also want to try to persuade my father. He loves me the most. And
Don't come here during this period, if you are discovered, I'm afraid you will be kicked out of Shangguan's house." Shangguan Xuan'er sighed.
"I understand. As I said before, as long as you don't want to, I will take you away regardless of whether you agree or not."
After saying that, Jiang Ling left.
For a period of time after that, Jiang Ling didn't look for Shangguan Xuan'er again.
However, Shangguan Xuan'er has been under house arrest.
Until...the engagement day.
Shangguan Xuan'er and Wang Xinji were engaged, and Jiang Ling almost rushed forward and chopped Wang Xinji down.
And the wedding day was actually three days later.
While drinking the wine at the banquet, Jiang Ling felt very uncomfortable. Shangguan Xuan'er was deliberately avoiding him and didn't even dare to look at him.
"Brother Jiang, you must admire our lady." Pang Yong suddenly said.
"Is it so obvious?" Jiang Ling said with a smile.
"Miss, you have the appearance of someone who will captivate a country, and Brother Jiang, you are also handsome and unrestrained. You two are actually a good match, but... fate is a trick." Pang Yong sighed.
"Destiny?"
…
That night, Jiang Ling went to see Shangguan Xuan'er again.
She heard him coming, but didn't look back.
"Are you giving in to your fate so quickly?" Jiang Ling asked.
"...I'm going to be a married woman soon. It's not appropriate for you to come here." Shangguan Xuan'er said softly.
"In my impression, you are not someone who would admit defeat... Do you remember the many bandits you encountered in the past two months? I have checked and they are all sent by Wang Xinji."
"Although the Wang family is powerful, as long as your Shangguan family is a stumbling block, it cannot monopolize this business, so it can only destroy or annex your Shangguan family."
Speaking of this, Jiang Ling keenly noticed that Shangguan Xuan'er's delicate body trembled a few times.
"Let me guess, when you are avoiding me, is it because your father told you that if you don't obey his arrangements, he will kill me?" Jiang Ling said with a smile.
Suddenly, Shangguan Xuan'er turned around and burst into tears.
"You all know why you are still here. You don't know how determined I am... Wuwu~"
Jiang Ling hugged the pretty girl in front of him and refused to let go even though she struggled hard.
"Fool, who do you think I am? That any cat or dog can kill me?"
"You are not allowed to scold my father!"
"I didn't scold him, it was you who thought so."
Afterwards, the two hugged each other in silence.
Jiang Ling knew that Shangguan Xuan'er was struggling in her heart. Now, it all depends on her choice.
Finally, Shangguan Xuan'er gently broke away from his arms.
"Jiang Ling, it would be great if there was no obstruction from the Wang family and my father. We are not destined to be together in this life. I hope that I can stay with you for the rest of my life in the next life."
After saying that, Shangguan Xuan'er took a deep look at Jiang Ling and turned her back.
"The next life...if you fail in this life, you won't survive in the next life."
Jiang Ling left silently.
Three days passed by in a flash.
This day is the day when Shangguan Xuan'er and Wang Xinji get married.
When the wedding team left, Jiang Ling disappeared.
…
"I pay my respects to the high hall..."
"Oops, there's someone killing people outside... there's someone killing people outside!"
When Shangguan Xuan'er and Wang Xinji were preparing to go to the church to get married, a servant ran in in a panic.
"What?!"
The head of the Wang family and the head of the Shangguan family immediately stood up suddenly.
Killing people in the city is not a trivial matter, and it happened at a wedding banquet between their two families.
"Who is it?"
"yes……"
Just as the servant was about to say something, several figures covered in blood suddenly flew in from outside the door and hit him directly.
"it's me!"
Jiang Ling strode over with a bloody sword in his hand, chopped off Shangguan Xuan'er's red hijab with one sword, and pulled her delicate body into his arms.
"It's you!"
The head of the Shangguan family was extremely shocked. He did not expect that this guard was so bold and dared to come directly to kill people and steal their marriages.
"How did you come?"
Shangguan Xuan'er was also shocked, but apart from the shock, she was also a little surprised for some reason.
"I have already said that as long as you don't want to, I will take you away regardless of whether you agree with it or not. Even if you are willing, I am not willing!"
"You are so domineering."
"Let's go!"
Jiang Ling held Shangguan Xuan'er with one hand and rushed out the door.
"Here comes someone, chase him quickly!"
Then, Wang Xinji, with a furious look on his face, chased after him with his sword in hand.
"You are a country bumpkin, how dare you steal my son's hand, you are seeking death!"
"With your three-legged cat skills, you dare to play swordsmanship with me. Even if the world's best master comes, you will have to kneel down!"
With just two swords, Jiang Ling cut off one of Wang Xinji's arms!
In the end, the two of them struck a sword, killing people when they were blocked, and killing dogs when they were blocked by dogs. Those who were killed did not dare to come near. Jiang Ling grabbed a horse and drove away, leaving Luoyun City.
"Hurry up and gather the people and the reporting officer. If you dare to break my son's arm, I will make him pay with his life!"
[Author's digression]: This is the heaviest emotional scene in the book. The first life will be longer and more intense, and I will write a little more about it later, but fellow Taoists with fragile hearts, please prepare paper, quack quack~.
