All the way into Weicheng, Lin Ji said goodbye to Geng Ran and headed eastward.
I saw that every house was brightly lit, and red lanterns with happy words on them were hung everywhere.
Young and old alike were all smiles, and even the beggars on the street were full of belly and eyes.
A group of young children, each holding a small flower drum, were playing around in the street, singing in unison:
"The gong in the left hand comes with the drum in the right hand,"
"Let Lin Tian catch you from Weicheng."
"Killed countless demon kings,"
"All the people rejoice and have abundant crops."
"The Lu family hijab and the Zhong family candle,"
"Tianguan Tianguan is so blessed."
"The golden beams and jade pillars that frame the sea,"
"I won't endure hardship with Dingtianguan."
Lin Ji couldn't help but smile bitterly after hearing this. If the Qin Dynasty was still around, this nursery rhyme alone would be enough to sentence me to death!
Nowadays, Jiuzhou is uncertain and the world is in chaos.
But he used my marriage to act out a happy and prosperous scene, and made up this nursery rhyme.
Its purpose is self-evident!
"Brother Lin?!"
Just then, the man walking towards me suddenly stopped and shouted half-surprised and half-joyed.
Lin Ji took a look and saw that it was Han Li, the rich second generation of the Xian family of the Qingcheng sect.
"Ha! It's really Brother Lin!" Han Li ran over quickly with a smile on his face.
Lin Ji took a look and saw that this kid had darkened a lot and had a long scar on his forehead. It seemed that he had been going out for a while and had a lot of hardships, but he still gained something by risk. He was already at the late stage of the Night Travel Realm.
.
Lin Ji was also very happy to see Han Li again, and asked with a smile: "I haven't seen you for a long time, why did you come to Weicheng?"
"I originally wanted to go to Yunzhou," Han Li said quickly, "but on the way I heard that big brother, you were making a big splash in Weicheng, killing three demon kings in a row! I wanted to come over and see you, but when I arrived at the border of Xuzhou, I heard
He said that you were getting married, so he rushed here day and night! Brother Lin, it is such a big event for you to get married, brother, can I not come to congratulate you?!"
"Haha, you came just in time!" Lin Ji patted Han Li on the shoulder and said, "Come on, follow me to the dragon boat for a drink."
"Okay! Have a good drink!" Han Li had been grinning widely since he met Lin Ji.
The two of them were talking as they walked. As soon as they arrived at the pier, the magnificent scenery of picking up and dropping off guests happened to be right in front of them.
Following the flow of people waiting on the shore, as soon as the two of them boarded the boat, a little maid hurriedly ran towards them and said: "You two gentlemen, Miss Yujiao invites you upstairs."
"Hey? What's the point of this?"
Before Lin Ji and Han Li could take a step forward, they saw a young man wearing a gold silk shirt stepping in front of him. He asked the maid sternly: "I am here to congratulate the Lu family, and we are boarding the ship together. Miss Yujiao
But why do you favor one over the other? Just invite them upstairs to see them alone?"
The maid didn't know the reason, so she hesitated and said: "I...I don't know, it was Miss Yujiao who gave the order."
Han Li was quite unhappy. He glared at the man and said, "What's going on? You're jealous when we go upstairs alone? Just because of your appearance?!"
The man's face turned cold when he heard this, and he glanced at Han Li up and down and said, "You foreign bumpkin, be careful with your words! Do you know what relationship Lin Ji, Lin Tianguan, who is about to marry the daughter of the Lu family, has with me?"
Han Li glanced at Lin Ji and said, somewhat dumbfounded: "Then tell me, what is your relationship with Lin Tianguan?"
When he asked, everyone on board the boat was no longer in a hurry to take their seats, and they all turned to look at the young master.
"Listen up!" The man pulled out a folding fan with a snap and said loudly and sternly, "My surname is Ma Gang, my aunt. My aunt is my aunt! She is the seventh wife of the former head of the Lu family, Lu Guangshou!"
"So what?" Han Li asked with dissatisfaction.
"So what?" Ma Gang glanced at Han Li as if he was an idiot and said, "The two Mr. Lu are brothers of the same clan! So after all, Lu Zhaoer, the daughter of the Lu family, is my cousin! Lin Tianguan is my brother-in-law! Now the whole world
The Lu family has the final say in Weicheng! My brother-in-law is famous all over the world!"
With a snap, Ma Gang unfolded the folding fan, pretending to instigate it slowly, raising his neck slightly and looking at Han Li with an arrogant expression: "Did you understand this time? I am Lin Tianguan's uncle! With this status,
But aren't you more qualified than you two country bumpkins to sit upstairs alone?"
When Han Li heard this, he was both angry and ridiculous. He stepped out of Lin Jidao and said, "Then do you know who he is?"
Ma Gang glanced at Lin Ji nonchalantly and said, "Whoever he is, what does it have to do with me?"
At this moment, there was a slight noise upstairs.
It was Hu Yujiao who came with two maids. She bowed in front of Lin Ji and said, "Lin Tianguan, my little girl just didn't comb and dress her clothes properly, so I couldn't greet her personally. I hope you'll forgive me."
"Lin Tian...this!" Ma Gang couldn't help being shocked when he heard it. He stared in disbelief and said, "You, are you that Lin Tianguan?"
It was only then that Lin Ji turned to look at him and said with a stern expression: "You are given three days to leave Weizhou. If you continue to use Lin's name in the future, you will be killed without mercy!"
Then he ordered Han Li: "Don't talk about sitting alone, he is not even worthy of boarding the ship! Get him off!"
"Okay!" Han Li responded with a smile, picked up the guy like a chicken and got off the boat with a pop.
"Ah! Help, help..."
After the horse fell into the water, it choked several times and kept flopping around. It seemed that it didn't know how to swim.
What's more, just as the boat sailed not far away, several waves knocked him back to the shore.
At this time, Ma Gang's hair was disheveled and his gold silk shirt was stained with mud. He was not as arrogant as before.
"Ah!" Ma Gang, who was paralyzed on the shore, suddenly shouted loudly and pulled repeatedly.
When everyone took a look, they saw a big crab biting hard on the crotch. The horse was so painful that it rolled over on the ground and screamed.
Everyone on the boat laughed loudly, and then saluted Lin Ji and said, "I have met Lin Tianguan!"
Lin Ji returned the greeting and said: "Everyone, if we see such a person again in the future, we will beat him up without any hesitation! There will be a heavy reward for overpowering the Lu Mansion!"
"Heavenly Official and Great Virtue!"
"The arrival of the Heavenly Official is truly a blessing to Weicheng!"
Everyone on the boat sang in unison again.
It is undoubtedly pleasant to be praised by others, but hearing it too much makes Lin Ji feel goosebumps.
He quickly turned around and went upstairs with Han Li.
The Zhou family seen outside the city relied on their status as monks to bully the people unreasonably, so they naturally had to deal with it ruthlessly.
As for Ma Gang, he was just using his name to show his prestige, and there was no serious harm. He could just give him a warning and drive him out of Weizhou.
Lin Ji, who has been in the Jian Tiansi for many years, knows that if he allows them to do whatever they want, his reputation will be scolded in the future even if he is praised highly now!
After entering the building and taking their seats, Hu Yujiao personally came forward and filled Lin Ji and Han Li's glasses with wine. Then she said very carefully: "Senior, a big event is approaching. I, this junior, shouldn't ask to sit alone, but there is something very important, so I have to."
Word!"
"Say!" Lin Ji clinked glasses with Han Li and drank them down without even looking at her.
