At the gate of the military camp, the six guards waiting outside the fence saw Niu Youdao and Yuan Gang coming out and wanted to approach the gate to greet them, but they were stopped by the guards again.
When the two came out, Niu Youdao waved, "Carriage!"
A carriage was immediately brought over. Yuan Gang put the heavy box on the carriage and turned around to ask Niu Youdao: "Is there any danger if you stay here?"
Niu Youdao: "As long as you keep things clean over there, I'll be fine."
One of the guards asked curiously: "Master Dao, aren't you leaving?"
Yuan Gang turned around and shouted: "Stop talking nonsense, let's go!" He also got on his horse.
Niu Youdao warned from the side: "Make more noise!"
Yuan Gang nodded, indicating that he understood, and turned around to greet a few people and leave quickly.
When Ju came to the fence, he stared at the scene in front of him and found that even the carriage was ready. This meant he was sure that he could borrow money from the general!
Niu Youdao turned around, saw her, nodded slightly and smiled, passed her by, and returned to the military camp.
Ju turned her head and looked at him, then quickly left the military camp and followed Yuan Gang's direction.
And Yuan Gang did not go far. As soon as he reached the corner of the street, he immediately called six personal guards to come forward. Some got into the carriage, while others blocked the outside of the carriage and watched.
Yuan Gang in the carriage opened the box. A box of gold coins was dazzling. Everyone couldn't help but let out a small cry and looked at each other. He actually got so much money in a blink of an eye. He obviously got it from the military camp. That Taoist master is really capable.
!
Yuan Gang began to divide the money, put a bag for each of the four people, and ordered them to go shopping in pairs. The location and price of the purchasing items had already been prepared for them, and they were asked to go directly to the designated place to buy.
, buy the things and then bring them to the designated place to meet. There is only one requirement, not only should things be done well, but also quickly.
The two groups of people took the money and dispersed. They didn't know what Yuan Gang meant by this order, but they just followed it anyway.
Yuan Gang took the remaining two people and most of the money and left.
Ju, who was following behind, saw that a group of people were divided into three directions. She didn't know which one to follow, so she finally followed Yuan Gang. After all, Yuan Gang was the leader of the group at first glance. However, she did not let go of the other two groups, and came from nearby.
A few shopkeepers were pulled out of a shop. As soon as she revealed her identity, the shopkeepers naturally did not dare to disobey her and followed her instructions and ran to keep an eye on the movements of the other two groups of people.
Yuan Gang's first stop was a silk and satin shop. After entering, he purchased a batch of the best silk and satin, paid a deposit, and asked the store to deliver it to the designated place within the designated time. The store was very happy and touched
After being hired by a big customer who was bold and generous, he repeatedly guaranteed that there would be no mistakes, which made Yuan Gang absolutely assured.
After leaving the silk and satin shop, the second stop was the best jewelry shop in the city. Just like before, I paid a large deposit and ordered a bunch of fine jewelry.
This journey has truly been a waste of money.
Ju followed behind, a little confused as to what Yuan Gang was going to do. Finally, he saw Yuan Gang going to a theater troupe and bringing out a group of people who played, played, and sang. He didn't know where he was going.
After arriving in the center of the city, Ju found that the place was very lively. There were carts and carts of things pulled by horses, and behind them there were flocks of cattle and sheep, and loads of chickens, ducks, and geese. Three groups of people had already joined Yuan Gang.
We met here. The people from the jewelry store arrived with drawers of jewelry, and the shopkeeper from the satin shop also arrived with the things sent by the guys. According to the requirements made in advance, they provided considerate service and helped load the car.
I picked it up and helped tie up the other items in the car with festive red silk.
Yuan Gang ordered everyone else to wear red and colorful clothes, and the group of people was very busy.
Crowds of people continued to gather on both sides of the street to watch the excitement. Many people looked envious and talked about, "Whose family is getting married? It's such a big deal!"
Ju, who was watching in the crowd, was also wondering. This indeed looked like a wedding ceremony. Is this a send-off or a wedding ceremony?
The guards who came to cooperate were also a little confused. What was Master Yuan doing?
Seeing that everyone was dressed in red and colorful, Yuan Gang signaled six people to form guards in front, left, and right, and immediately led the horse in front, shouting to the troupe lining up behind: "Come with me when it's fun!"
The sound of gongs, drums, and laras instantly became noisy and lively, attracting cheers from many people on both sides.
Yuan Gang waved his hand, rode a tall horse in front, and led the mighty team all the way. Many people followed along the way, wanting to see which family was hosting the wedding. Ju was also wondering among them.
Ling Ju was a little dumbfounded when the mighty team finally arrived at the destination: the prefect's mansion in the county!
The area around the Prefect's Mansion was heavily guarded. There was an open space in front of it, and there were horses on the outside. A group of soldiers were guarding it. When they saw a group of people approaching, the defenders were highly vigilant. In an instant, there were swords and guns. However, when the guards saw this festive and lively scene, they were surrounded by soldiers.
The wedding team was also stunned, not knowing what was going on.
A group of sergeants came out from behind Juma and stopped the approaching wedding procession. The leader shouted: "Who is it?"
Yuan Gang, who was sitting on horseback, shouted loudly: "Prince Shang Chaozong of Yongping County has come to marry Feng Ruonan, the daughter of the prefect of Guangxi County!"
'Yongping' is the title of the Shang Dynasty clan. Since the Shang Dynasty clan was imprisoned in an accident in the capital, the hereditary prince's title 'Ning' has been deprived of his title.
Chaozong's attitude.
As soon as these words came out, Ju who was watching was a little confused. Marrying the general? Are you here to marry the general after making trouble for a long time?
The six guards were also dumbfounded. The prince is getting married?
Some people in the surrounding area were shocked, some cheered. For some people, the Shang Chaozong, the Prince of Yongping County, was very famous. But for the people far away from the capital, many people did not know who the Shang Chaozong was at all. They only heard the word "prefecture king"
Just two words tell you that he is a person of great status. Which prince wants to marry General Feng?
The men and horses who came to stop him were also confused. The men and horses behind Ju Ma looked at each other in confusion. Is this happening? Why haven't you heard anything about it? Why is there no news at all about such a big event in the Prefect's Mansion?
The young general who asked the question was dumbfounded. Shang Chaozong jumped off his horse and presented a red gift list with both hands, "This is the wedding gift list. Please submit it to the prefect, general!"
"..." The young general hesitated to speak. He really couldn't make the decision on such a big matter, so he had to ask Yuan Gang to wait and trotted all the way into the prefect's mansion to report.
Yuan Gang calmly raised his hands to the applauding crowd around him, thanking everyone for watching the ceremony.
There is nothing we can do about this surprise attack here. The Shang Dynasty Sect has a bad reputation due to the influence of King Ning. If we come to visit directly, we may not even see Feng Lingbo's people. Feng Lingbo most likely does not want to cause such trouble.
As soon as the news here reached the Prefect's Mansion, there was an immediate uproar in the Prefect's Mansion. Some people ran to the door to look outside to see the movement, and some climbed up the wall to look outside. It was really a long list of wedding gifts.
I can’t count how many cars have been loaded.
After a while, the young general ran back and invited Yuan Gang to the prefect's mansion, but no one else was allowed in.
Ju Ye walked out of the crowd. No one else could get in, so she had no problem entering the prefect's mansion. She was still a little confused now, so she had to go in and find out what was going on, so she could report it to Feng Ruonan.
A lot of people gathered outside the main hall of the Prefect's Mansion, including men and women, and were whispering.
There were only a few people in the main hall. A tall, thin man with a short beard and a brocade robe was pacing back and forth in the hall with his hands behind his hands. He was very dignified and dignified, but his face was a little ugly. He was none other than Feng Lingbo, the prefect of Guangxi County. There was also another person.
A tall woman in Chinese clothes sat upright, holding a gift list in her hand and looking at it. She was Feng Lingbo's wife, Peng Yulan.
"I'm afraid the items on this gift list cost no less than ten thousand gold. As expected of a county king, he will spend ten thousand gold for fun as soon as he makes a move!" Peng Yulan sneered.
As soon as Yuan Gang entered the prefect's mansion, he was immediately tied up by swordsmen and axemen from both sides. He also received several punches and kicks. However, Yuan Gang did not resist and allowed himself to be captured and tied up.
The tied-up Yuan Gang was pushed into the main hall and stood there rigidly, looking unworried, unfazed, and unfazed by favors or humiliations.
At first glance, he knew it was not an act. Feng Lingbo's eyes flashed, and he secretly praised him, what a man! But what he said was a cold snort, "Who are you, how dare you pretend to be Yongping County Prince to welcome the bride?"
Yuan Gang said calmly: "Yuan Gang, the prince's subordinate, is indeed here to welcome the bride on the prince's order, and he has never been fake!"
Yuan Gang? Feng Lingbo looked him up and down. According to the news, there was indeed a person named Yuan Gang under the Shang Chaozong. "Even if you are from the Shang Chaozong, when did Feng promise to marry his daughter off?"
He? He's a royal family, doesn't he even know some etiquette?"
Yuan Gang said: "It is inevitable that there will be some shortcomings in haste, but the wedding gift given by the prince is full of sincerity!"
"What a joke!" Peng Yulan stood up, smashed the gift list on Yuan Gang's face, and said angrily: "You want to marry my daughter with this little thing?"
Yuan Gang said: "The gift list that Madam just looked at was just a show of good etiquette for others to see. The real gift was never shown. The other gift list is in my arms. It is absolutely a great gift. I guarantee that the prefect and Madam will like it after reading it.
!”
The couple looked at each other, and Feng Lingbo nodded. Someone immediately stepped forward and reached into Yuan Gang's arms to touch it. Finally, Guzhen pulled out another gift list and handed it to Feng Lingbo's hand.
Feng Lingbo opened the gift list, glanced at it briefly, and then his eyelids jumped immediately. He quickly closed the gift list with a snap, and looked at Yuan Gang with eyes full of surprise and uncertainty.
Peng Yulan was surprised, what kind of gift could make her husband lose his composure? Then he reached out and took the gift list from Feng Lingbo's hand, opened it with some curiosity, and unexpectedly, after just one glance, his pupils suddenly shrank, and he snapped.
He quickly closed the gift list with a sound, as if he was afraid of being seen by others.
After suppressing the doubts in his heart, Feng Lingbo pointed at the person peeking outside the door and shouted, "What are you looking at? Get out of here!"
The men and women outside the door immediately dispersed and ran away, leaving the courtyard clean.
Feng Lingbo looked at Yuan Gang and said in a deep voice: "Are the things on the gift list serious?"
Yuan Gang said: "I am not the official official to welcome the bride, and I have not read the list of gifts. I don't know the meaning of it. I am just following orders. There is another official official to welcome the bride, and he should know it."
Feng Lingbo narrowed his eyes and said: "Since you are here to welcome the bride, why don't you see the official? Wouldn't it be rude? Is there anyone who welcomes the bride like this?"
Yuan Gang said: "It's not that the envoy doesn't want to come, it's that he can't come even if he wants to. At this time, the envoy is being detained in the military camp by his daughter Feng Ruonan. He is afraid that his life may be in danger at any time."
