CHAPTER TWENTY-TWO HAPPENED SORRY
The spirits followed the sound and arrived at the back of the mountain. Sure enough, they saw the familiar figure of Zhu Jiuyin. He was still standing there, dressed in a black robe and holding a leaf in his hand. He had a unique smile on his face as he gazed at the hidden spirit.
He spoke in a secretive tone, ”Brother, we have finally met again after parting in the Hundred Miles Bamboo Forest.”
”That's right, Junior Brother Ling. I was passing by Taixuan today and miss you very much, but the Taixuan Sect rules are strict, so it's hard for outsiders to enter. Thus, I had no choice but to invite you here with the flute music. I really didn't think that Junior Ling would be so familiar with the flute music.”
”The main thing is that my brother's flute music is so beautiful that it's memorable. Brother, what brings you here this time? ”
Candle Jiu Yin smiled, ”No, I just miss you a bit when I pass by. Have you been in Taixuan's capital all this time? ”
”That's right, but we're going to Jade Wall City next month. We have to go congratulate Mayor Murong on his golden wedding.”
Zhu Jiuyin said, puzzled, ”Oh, many years ago, I met City Lord Murong once. I'm sure that his daughter is not young anymore, right?”
”That's right, Lin Lang and I are the same age, nineteen years old.”
Zhu Jiuyin continued to ask, ”The grand marriage of the Murong City Lord must have been very spectacular. The twelve pots of wine from the four cities of the Qing Qiu Mountain should all be there to celebrate the wedding.”
”That's right, who would dare not to give face to Mayor Murong? Besides, this is a joyous occasion for the Qing Qiu Mountains, who would be absent?”
Zhu Jiu thought darkly, perhaps this was a good opportunity since all the elites of the Qing Qiu Mountains had gathered in Jade Wall City.
After bidding farewell to the hidden spirits, Zhu Jiuyin quickly returned to Tianmu Yye to report the news. After listening, he said: ”This is a good opportunity, quickly inform Demon Realm's Li Feng to sleep over. We will discuss the plan together.”
Marriage is the most important thing in life. It is the sign that one person is about to mature. It is also the beginning of two people sharing responsibility and entrustment. The grand and luxurious appearance of the wedding, bright and beautiful, the exquisite and precious gift, cannot replace the essence of the wedding - the two of them love each other. The happier the marriage, the less likely the love, the less need for ostentatious ceremony. Most of the time, the wedding ceremony is often covered by a fragile marriage.
That was exactly what Lin Lang's marriage was like.
She was born into the Murong Family and enjoyed a lot of wealth. As Murong Kongming's daughter, she was doted upon as the apple of her eye. From birth, she had more and more than her other children. But such people have a common problem: the love and marriage of a child is so harsh that they only impose their own opinions on the child, believing that the child can live a happy life only if he or she wants to live it according to his or her own wishes. They would rather imprison their children than let them be free to challenge and pursue their own happiness.
Mu Rong Kongming was such a person. He doted on, doted on, indulged in, and met all of Linlang's material requirements, but he did not allow Linlang to fall in love without permission. As a influential family in the Qing Qiu mountain, the Murong Family had to give way to even the Tai Xuan, so Lin Lang's other half had to be worthy of the Murong Family's fame. He would not allow those children from normal families to get ahead of them, and covet the Murong Family's wealth and power.
This was truly Lin Lang's sorrow! Under the strict rules of the Murong family, she had always been living in pain due to her feelings. Even her husband, who was about to get married, had only seen her a few times due to his family's arrangements, so he had no impression of her. That's right, how much impression could he leave on a person who had only seen a few of them? Furthermore, Lin Lang's mind was filled with only one person — — Zhang Feng.
This was the secret between Lin Lang and Chang Feng. The two of them had known each other for a long time and loved each other deeply. When their feelings were ruthlessly rejected by Mu Rong Kongming, their determination to stay together became even stronger. However, ever since Linlang had gotten engaged to Su Ling, one of the largest families in Jade Wall City, Mu Rong Kongming had strictly guarded Lin Lang. Anyone who went in and out of the city had to follow them, so they had no way of interacting with Changfeng. This Zhang Feng was a roaming scholar of Jade Wall City. He had practiced swordsmanship since he was young, roamed the martial arts world, and was a chivalrous hero. He was quite famous in Jade Wall City. However, this kind of person did not enter Mu Rong Kong Ming's eyes. He believed that only the seven disciples of the Supreme Profound Capital could match up to Lin Lang in terms of swordsmanship.
Mu Rong Kong Ming's power and Lin Langfeng's love for him had cast an ominous shadow over the marriage. It was destined to be filled with regret, tears, disappointment, and strangulation …
At this moment, Jade Wall City was in a festive mood.
The streets of the city were decorated with lanterns and decorations, and bright red words of ”double happiness” hung in the air. Even the Hall of Returning Spring, which usually saved lives and helped the injured, was celebrating. Murong Kongming had ordered for all the restaurants and restaurants in the city to be opened for free for three days. During this period, all the expenses would be borne by the Murong Family.
Taixuan's wedding procession was very powerful, and Yin Baoyun led Ning An, fifth Hidden Spirit, Zhao Yuyi, Lang Gong Yuan, Yu Duanyue, and Li Zongyin. They walked along the streets and looked at the joyous scene of the entire city with envy in their eyes. After all, Jade Wall City's splendor and splendor could not be compared to Taixuan's serene and serene nature.
Lang Gongyuan and Yu Jiu looked at the wine in the tavern with envy, while Zhao Yuyi also stared at the fresh fabric in the silk shop, while Li Zongyin respectfully followed behind Yin Bao, turning a deaf ear to everything that was happening around them. Only the fifth hidden spirit and Ning An looked around, but they also seemed to be observing something.
Lang Gong glanced at Li Zongyin and said impatiently, ”Ai, Junior Brother Li, please don't put on your usual pained look when you're training. Can't you just look at the bustling city? Can you not work so hard?”
Li Zongyin said, ”Why do you keep staring at me when there are people all over the street? Senior brother, when did I offend you?”
The two bickered happily.
The fifth hidden spirit and Ning Anshi simultaneously sized up the group of people who had come to congratulate them. These people seemed very ordinary, but their actions were always different from those around them. They didn't seem to care much about the bustle around them. They lowered their heads and whispered to each other as they hurried to walk. When normal people entered Jade Wall City, they would always be attracted by the bustling scene within the city, and there were only two types of people who didn't seem to care about it. One was the people who lived in Jade Wall City for a long time, and they were already used to this kind of scene; the other was the people who came to carry out a mission, because they had a mission and had no time to pay attention to it.
”Senior Brother, I keep having the feeling that this group of people's movements are strange and unfriendly.”
”It seems like Mayor Murong's friends are not just in the Qing Qiu Mountains!”
”How do you know he's Murong City Lord's friend? These people can also come uninvited!” Yin Bao Chen said.
He said in a secretive tone, ”Master is enlightened. So Master had discovered this long ago.”
Yin Bao Yun said, ”You guys keep an eye on this group of people and don't let them get into any trouble. Today, four cities, twelve altars are gathered here and no one is allowed to cause any trouble here!”
The wedding took place in the most luxurious Dragon Tongue Aperture in Jade Wall City.
In the back room, a group of maids and maids were making their preparations in an orderly manner. Lin Lang's heart was already as dead as a grave, thinking that he was going to marry that vulgar, devoid of meaning, Su Ling, she was in so much pain that she wished she were dead. He could not marry the one he loved. Only Lin Lang could understand the pain and suffering.
At this moment, Lin Lang's heartbeat quickened. The predetermined hour had arrived, so why hadn't Changfeng arrived yet? Perhaps eloping at this time wasn't a good idea, but for the two of them, there was no better way. At this very moment, leaving was the best way, the best way to escape.
Before the wedding began, the bride covered her head and waited alone in the back room. This was the most relaxed time. Long Wind jumped in through the window and grabbed Lin Lang's hand. She was too familiar with these hands. These hands that she had held a thousand times were the things she needed the most now. She wanted to lead her away from this place and lead her to a life like the wind.
Changfeng said, ”Follow me, there's no time!”
Lin Lang nodded with all her might and shook off her veil. She hugged Long Wind tightly, hugging the man she loved as if she were embracing the happiness of her life. They flew lightly out of the window, skimming over the rooftops, heading for the unknown.
