Chapter 9
The delicious dim sum did not change the taste of the past, but Ji Shuliu couldn't take another bite, so he went straight to the owner of the tea house with his money bag to pay the bill.He kept his voice to a minimum, and said slowly: "I didn't expect such a coincidence, but you are so good at pretending to be stupid, you don't look like a businessman with peace of mind at all. I found out... I really found out. You know I'm in What do you say? Give him a message for me, let go, escape wherever you want, what kind of miasma, bitter cold, drifting overseas by boat, which one is not okay?" He said while counting out copper coins from his wallet. The owner of the tea shop put it in his hand.
Wang Guitong accepted all of them, still smiling all over his face, with deep smile lines: "Guest officer, go slowly, come here often in the future!"
Ji Shuliu left the tea house and stood under the sun for a while to warm himself up a little before going to the inn.He was not sure what Wang Guitong was thinking, and planned to persuade Qin Songfeng to leave this place.
Back at the door of the inn, Qin Songfeng was standing on the side of the street talking to a tall young girl.Ji Shuliu recognized the woman as Sun Chengxiu, who had participated in the battle against Zuiri Fort, and also remembered that her parents and grandparents were killed by Li Xiao and Shang Tongtian successively.Qin Songfeng had already seen him, smiled and waved: "It's just in time to come back. You should pack your things first and go to a place with me and Miss Sun. It's a long story, and I will explain it to you slowly."
Ji Shuliu lied hesitantly: "Can you leave here first? I saw a familiar person on the road just now, and I seem to have seen him in Drunken Sun Castle before. I'm afraid he will be harmful to you."
Qin Songfeng frowned slightly: "What clothes is he wearing?"
"I didn't notice. He's half a head shorter than me, and a little bit muscular."
"Forget it, we're going to a nearby village, and we can just avoid it. This is Miss Sun Chengxiu, do you remember?"
Ji Shuliu lowered his head and felt that Sun Chengxiu was looking at him, so he didn't dare to look at her directly. He looked at her and bowed: "Remember...Hello Miss Sun."
Sun Chengxiu clasped his fists cheerfully: "Hello, Brother Ji."
Qin Songfeng pushed Ji Shuliu back to the inn room, and explained when he was packing his things: Back then, the Baidao Alliance spent a lot of money on weapons, board and lodging, and many enemies of Zuishibao had low martial arts skills and couldn't contribute, so they paid for support , the two who contributed the most money were Pei Yongguo and Lu Bing, both of whom had feuds with their parents.When Lu Bing's parents had an accident, his only daughter Lu Yuyan was also present. Although she was not dead, she suffered a severe blow to the back of her head and became demented.
A few days ago, Lu Bing took his wife and daughter to visit his old friend Zhou Tai and invited Sun Chengxiu to escort him.Zhou Tai lives in a nearby village, and he is also a member of the martial arts world. The youngest son in the family is Zhou Peng. good wife.The two sons and daughters have their own flaws, and they have always intended to form a family. It's just that Lu Bing is reluctant to let go of his stupid daughter, fearing that she will be shocked, and plans to talk about it in a few years.
Unexpectedly, during this visit to old friends, Lu Bing and his wife went out to relax one day, but when they returned, they suddenly disappeared their daughter, and they could not find any trace of the old friend's family. They only heard that wedding invitations for their daughter and Zhou's son had been handed out all over the village.Ask the servants and maids of the Zhou family, they all smiled and told Lu Bing not to be joking, how could such a happy event not be accepted.The couple was so anxious, Sun Chengxiu was at a loss as to what to do. Thinking that Qiyan Villa was nearby, she took them there to ask for help, but Qin Songming had already been invited to the wedding, so she could only leave the old couple in Qiyan Villa and pay according to the money. Rui came here to find Qin Songfeng.
The wedding invitation said that the wedding will be at dusk today, and there should be no delay.
Qin Songfeng said: "Old man Zhou has a bit of a temper, but he shouldn't be so reckless in his children's life-long affairs. He doesn't even have a marriage certificate. Maybe there is some difficulty? Let's not expose it first, and pretend to be passers-by to join in the fun. If someone asks , I just said that I took my younger siblings out to play and passed by here."
Sun Chengxiu interjected: "Brothers and sisters are also divided into big and small. Am I called Brother Ji, Second Brother or Younger Brother?"
"Shu Liu is two years older than you, so you should call him Second Brother."
Sun Chengxiu looked at Ji Shuliu: "Really? I can't tell, I thought you were very young." The topic changed, "Since you are older than me, can you let me go."
Ji Shuliu still felt guilty towards her, and nodded nervously.
Sun Chengxiu continued: "How about you call me Second Sister instead?"
Ji Shuliu vaguely suspected that she was joking, but seeing her serious expression, he couldn't think of an answer for a while, so he turned his head to look at Qin Songfeng in a little confusion: "Should I... call her Second Sister?"
Qin Songfeng smiled when he saw his expression, and Sun Chengxiu also smiled: "Look, isn't that right? I just look like the second sister."
Qin Songfeng helped to explain: "Chengxiu is teasing you, but she is right, you have too little experience in the world, and you are very tender at first glance. You are her brother, but you will attract attention. It is better to let her be your sister, and you pretend to be a sister." An obedient little brother, try not to make a sound when encountering anything."
Sun Chengxiu added: "And I usually call him Second Brother Qin, but now calling you 'Second Brother' in front of him is easy to make mistakes."
Ji Shuliu patted his head, called "Big Brother" to Qin Songfeng, and "Second Sister" to Sun Chengxiu, and laughed with the two of them, the nervousness at first seeing Sun Chengxiu eased a lot.

The three rested until the afternoon and set off from the city on foot, and arrived at the Zhou family's village in the evening. They claimed to be passers-by for sightseeing, and found a random family to stay overnight.Not long after, the welcoming team came towards the head of the village, and the children in the village ran out to join in the fun, and the adults were also preparing to go out to drink the Zhou family's wedding wine.
Sun Chengxiu seemed to be a different person, blinking innocently: "Brother, it's so lively outside! I haven't seen anyone get married yet."
Qin Songfeng took advantage of the situation and said in a conniving tone: "If you are curious, let's go ask if we can make up a gift money and go to drink wedding wine to get happy?"
The hosts lived in an old couple who were over sixty years old. The old lady was very hospitable and said with a smile, "You guys go together, it's okay. The one who got married is Zhou Tai's family in our village. They are famous for their hospitality. Love is lively, not afraid of many people, but afraid of few people." Sun Chengxiu quickly thanked sweetly.
As expected, the three of them entered Zhou Tai's courtyard smoothly.
The weather was fine and the moon was bright that day. The Zhou family’s spacious backyard was filled with wine tables, and candles were lit on the tables, illuminating the sumptuous wine and dishes, and the smell of hot meat wafted out of the wall.Most of the people sitting in the courtyard were villagers from the nearby villages, and there were also wine tables in the house. Those tables seemed to be guests from afar invited by the Zhou family and elders from the village.
Sun Chengxiu sat among the women by himself, Qin Songfeng and Ji Shuliu found a wine table near the hall and sat down together, no one asked about their identities at all.
Qin Songfeng whispered: "Let's keep our heads down as much as possible and don't talk. My brother brought my eldest nephew and second nephew here, so don't be seen by them."
Ji Shuliu let out a "hmm", then picked up a wine glass and put it to his lips, pretending to be drinking, but in fact he only dipped it once.
With Qin Songfeng and Sun Chengxiu watching all directions and listening to all directions, he can't help much, just come to experience it.There was a lot of people in the courtyard of Zhou's house, but it seemed that the sedan chair hadn't been lifted to the door, so he couldn't see the bride, so he was bored, so he started thinking wildly.
Qin Songfeng called Sun Chengxiu's boudoir name directly, which sounded a bit intimate; before Liu Junwen and others were idle guessing about Qin Songfeng's next wife, they also mentioned Sun Chengxiu's name.Xiao Rong has been married to someone else for a whole year, and even gave birth to a son. It seems that Qin Songfeng should really marry another one?
Sun Chengxiu is handsome in appearance, straightforward and capable. In terms of appearance, she is not as charming as Xiao Rong, but in terms of temperament, she is more suitable to be Qin Songfeng's wife than Xiao Rong who is always worrying about gains and losses.Moreover, she is still young, and she doesn't care much about wandering in the rivers and lakes. If she dresses up carefully, maybe her appearance will be a little more beautiful.
Ji Shuliu couldn't help finding Sun Chengxiu's figure from the crowd.From a distance, she was looking around pretending to be curious. Although the innocence was just a disguise, she still set off her young face very cutely.He imagined how Qin Songfeng stood with her, and he thought it was a good match.
This conclusion made him feel inexplicably anxious, as if some treasure was about to be snatched away.
Ever since he divorced his wife, Qin Songfeng likes to get together with him whenever he has nothing to do in Qiyan Villa.The master of the second sect has good swordsmanship and sharp eyesight, but everyone admires him, but the light on his body is too dazzling, and he is much more stable than his peers. There are not many friends in the same sect who can talk and play.Only Ji Shuliu saw his weakness and misery when he detoxified him, and instead of worshiping him as a god, he got closer to him than anyone else.
But if he got married at this time, he would have to spend more time with his new wife instead of playing with his buddies all the time.It was the first time in Ji Shuliu's life that he made such a close friend, and he felt very reluctant, wishing that he would not marry again within three to five years.
Just looking at Sun Chengxiu with fascination, Qin Songfeng suddenly glanced at him: "What are you looking at? There are beautiful women?"
Ji Shuliu blushed immediately.Qin Songfeng was making fun of him casually, but when he saw him like this, he thought he had hit the mark: "Have you learned how to look at beautiful women? Not bad. You are already twenty, do you want me to help you talk to your aunt and ask her to find you a girl?" ?”
Ji Shuliu blushed and said in a deep voice, "I didn't see the beauties!"
"Then what are you looking at? There are big girls and young wives over there."
Ji Shuliu stared at Qin Songfeng provocatively: "Where are there beauties over there? I think they are not as beautiful as you."
Qin Songfeng said solemnly: "Thank you for your love, don't dare to be worthy."
Ji Shuliu was left speechless by him, and just about to laugh, Qin Songfeng stretched out his hand to pull him up: "The bride is out, let's go ahead and have a look." As soon as he turned his head, he saw Sun Chengxiu standing up, and exchanged glances with Qin Songfeng .This tacit understanding made Ji Shuliu feel a sense of irritability.
There are quite a few people who like to join in the fun, and the three of them mixed in the chaotic crowd and squeezed forward desperately to get to the front.There were dozens of people playing drums, and the sound was so loud that it almost resounded through the entire village. Many children in the village were playing with colored satins for weddings, and the scene was extremely chaotic.
In the middle of the front yard, the bride was wearing a red wedding dress and a red hijab on her head. She was supported by a young maidservant who was dressed up beautifully as she stepped on the felt mat.Her demeanor was not at all dignified, and she kept shaking her head, as if eager to look through the hijab.
The bridegroom officer was beside her, but instead of standing, he was sitting on a chair covered with red satin, being carried by two strong servants, one tall and one short.He looked to be in his late thirties, his face was gloomy, his eyes were half-closed, and his eyes were tired and blurred.
The crowd whispered to each other amidst the clamor of drums.
Sun Chengxiu asked in a low voice, "What's going on?"
Qin Songfeng shook his head slightly: "Wait a little longer."
The bridesmaid brought a concentric knot made of red satin, handed it to the bridegroom while handing it to the bride, and led them to the hall.The bride was playing with the ribbon on her side, tangled it around her fingers, and barely moved forward under the pull of the maidservant.
A loud voice in the crowd said to the people next to him: "Where's Zhou Tai? Why hasn't he come out yet, and his other sons are nowhere to be seen..."
I don't know if it was because of hearing this sentence, or just a coincidence, the bride suddenly let out a sharp snort from her nose, it sounded as if her mouth was blocked by something.The onlookers immediately went into a rage, but the maidservant beside her and the servant carrying the groom looked as steady as Mount Tai, and continued to carry the couple to the main room.The groom was still sitting on the chair with his head drooping without any resistance. The bride struggled violently, and was almost dragged away by the maidservant's two arms.
Everyone has already begun to speculate whether Zhou Tai abducted a good family's daughter and forcibly rationed his own lame son.Qin Songfeng turned his head and said to Sun Chengxiu: "It's a little strange, this marriage may not be Zhou Tai's intention at all. Zhou Peng seems to have been drugged, but since they have drugs, why don't they give Yanyan the drug?"
Sun Chengxiu also hesitated: "Do you want to make a move?"
Suddenly, the bride finally broke free from the shackles of the maidservant, threw away the concentric knot in her hand, and rushed towards the crowd of onlookers, screaming and screaming, and squeezed into the backyard full of dining tables, wine and food.The crowd suddenly became chaotic, and several streams of people rushed to different directions, and Qin Ji and Sun were scattered in an instant.Qin Songfeng used lightness kung fu and body skills, and jumped up from the gap in the crowd to the bride who was wearing a hijab and circling around, holding her down and shouting loudly: "Yanyan, Yanyan! Don't be afraid, do you still recognize me?"
He raised his hand to lift the bride's hijab, when a villager next to him was squeezed hard by someone, and hit him hard on the back.He staggered forward, not standing still, as if he sensed some kind of danger suddenly, he dodged to the side as hard as he could, and the short dagger in the hand of the "bride" changed his moves eagerly, and cut obliquely into his left arm, blood was splattered Fast springs.
The red hijab of the "bride" was also taken off, revealing a ferocious face. Not only was he not gagged by anything, but he was actually an ugly man who had shaved his beard and smeared some rouge and powder indiscriminately!
The villagers near Qin Songfeng could see clearly and scattered in all directions, but the people farther away didn't know what happened, and the crowded people couldn't escape for a while.The fake bride tore off her wedding gown to reveal the fine clothes inside, and took advantage of the chaos to press on Qin Songfeng step by step with the two servants carrying the groom's seat. .
Sun Chengxiu shouted loudly: "The bride is a fake, a bandit in disguise! Run, everyone!" Gradually, the villagers came to their senses and ran out the door. The sword, half surrounded Qin Songfeng, half surrounded Sun Chengxiu and dragged her, making her unable to help.
The skills of these "villagers" are average, but their moves are more vicious, but the moves of the two young men carrying the groom are neat and sophisticated.The man posing as a bride threw a dagger, took a big knife from a "villager" and used it.
Qin Songfeng's left arm was seriously injured, the blood stained half of his clothes red, and he struggled to cope with the siege of the fake bride and two servants, and he had to take time to counter other people's slashing. Turning the tide of the battle, he was even entangled by the three masters around him so that he had no time to attack those "villagers" who were not very skilled in martial arts.
Sun Chengxiu had a little room to fight back, and the long knife pointed at him, and the killer had already begun.She anxiously looked at Qin Songfeng from time to time, the fake bride had a ferocious and vicious face, and her moves were not far from the vitals. Obviously, she had a clear purpose and intended to kill someone!
