Chapter 16 The Lord's Wedding 6
After all the people who should be removed were cleared away, in this grand and lively wedding banquet, except for Chen Baiqi standing alone on the high platform, only Fang Luo's guards were left standing guard.
There is no unnecessary expression on everything that happened before, just like a steel body sticking to its position.
The suddenly empty banquet felt like the tranquility on the eve of the approaching storm. She raised her neck and looked into the distance. The wind blew her long hair messily and floated behind her back. She hooked a bunch of it and hung it behind her ear, her eyes filled with emotion.
There was total silence.
Not long after, the silent air film seemed to be pierced by an external sharp weapon. A strong vibration that filled the eardrums came from the all-pervasive maple forest. The warm and festive wedding scene that had been skillfully arranged was suddenly filled with an unstoppable crowd of people.
.
There is a deep valley and stream in the mountain behind Nanshan Temple with no blocking barrier. Once the autumn wind is not restrained and rages, it will often rustle the trees beside Maple Forest Road. Under the white light of the sun, the tree heads will be blown crooked.
With a "Woo-Woo" sound, I watched the bright red paint painted on the maple tree from a high place, as if the surging flames were rolling, wave after wave.
The overly intense color occupied the eyeballs. The red army was far more dazzling than the red of the maple leaves. They rushed into the wedding venue from the forest with the force of breaking the floor. The crisp sound of horse hooves was like a rushing river.
The sounds produced together form a majestic movement. The sound is full of power. It penetrates all obstacles and spreads like sound waves, inducing the most nervous and uneasy emotions in people's hearts.
At this time, the Qin soldiers present were inevitably affected. It was not fear caused by fear of the other party, but a tough confrontation that was ready to go. It was like meeting a lion of the same kind. When it encounters a strong one, it gets stronger.
The opponent was provocative and his whole body was full of fighting spirit.
In an instant, the venue was controlled by this red team. In the middle of the split red tide, a man and a horse rushed out of the flood. The flowers trampled by the horse's hooves were blown up by the biting wind and destroyed into pieces. The fragrance of flowers filled the place.
In the atmosphere, the visitor stretched out his white fingers with clear bones and gently untied the cloak on his body. The cold wind blew the cloak away.
His movements among the thousands of troops were like an ink painting with colors ranging from light to thick, slowly raising his face amid still movement.
Among the flowers, there was a face that eclipsed everyone around him. His eyebrows were enchanting, his eyes were as bright as snow, thousands of red trees were cold and steep, and a world of pure ripples made it difficult to turn around.
Open your eyes.
The guards of the Qin State were dumbfounded for a moment, and many people recognized him. They knew the national emblem from the army, and it was rumored that he had a mole on his eyebrows. He was a strange color, but his face was cold and magnificent.
Momentum, just based on these various speculations, they can also come up with a definite answer.
The person coming will most likely be the unparalleled king of the Chu Kingdom—Chu Cangyue.
His appearance was so forceful and urgent, or more accurately, he rushed in like venting his anger, trampling most of the wedding decoration scene, and he didn't seem to hide his malice.
Compared with the army around him that was as blazing as the flames, he was dressed in a moon-white long robe and embroidery, frost-rolled twigs and jade flowers, light and elegant, his hair was not tied up with a crown, with a hairpin at the back of his head, and he was not decorated with valuables.
Even the horse on his crotch is a white horse. This plain dress does not look like he is attending a wedding, but rather like he is attending a funeral.
...Although, he was not here to congratulate, but to destroy.
He saw the girl on the wedding platform who couldn't tell whether she was happy or angry. The sun was not shining brightly today, and the thick and warm light cast a hazy light on her body, making her outlines incredibly soft. She was really beautiful today.
beautiful.
He had rarely seen her dressed so intensely in the past, or in other words, he had never seen her wearing such colorful clothes. Her icy skin concealed her jade bones. This red wedding dress seemed to exaggerate all the tenderness and charm in her body.
When he came out, if he hadn't been wearing this outfit for someone else, he would really be fascinated by it and forget what day it was.
But this one just hurt his eyes.
He came here today, specially adjusted his condition, and dyed his hair black. He wanted to make sure that he would not always look so miserable and pale in her eyes.
He curled his lips towards her and smiled, like the swaying branches of a thousand trees, lingering as low as possible: "Bai Qi, I know that I am not qualified to give you any decision. I will let you do whatever you want, even if you want to change your mind."
Even if this day and this place is over, I will not stop you in the slightest..." When he said this, he seemed to have reached a turning point, his tone suddenly changed, and his lips were as red as tears: "There is only one thing, you
Marrying someone else... is not okay."
Chen Baiqi stared at him quietly, her expression unchanged since he appeared.
"King Chu, what I want to do is not decided by you, but by me. I am no longer the Chen Jiaoniang I used to be. Now I am Chen Rui. You can't control me, and I won't obey your words.
"
This was the first thing she said to him. She didn't ask how he broke into Qinguan, nor did she care about his purpose of coming here. She was so unfeeling towards him that it was chilling.
His face turned pale, his snow-white face and red lips were cold and magnificent. He restrained the surge of energy and blood in his chest, but did not show any emotion on his face.
He glanced around briefly, but did not see anyone else at the wedding venue. The wedding seemed to be an empty city, with all the guests and relatives who came to attend the ceremony, and even the most important groom, missing.
If the traces left around here hadn't proved that the wedding had indeed taken place, he would have thought that all this was just a fraudulent farce, just to lure him into being deceived.
But after thinking about it for a moment, he realized the cause and effect.
She deliberately brought the wedding forward to catch him off guard, breaking all the plans she had prepared and rushing over. However, it turned out that she had made preparations in advance and mobilized everyone to prevent him from having any chance to hurt Xie Yingyi.
.
He looked at her, his face expressionless, but there was a dense line of sadness in his eyes, and the deep gloom of the web seemed to envelope her whole body. He said in a hoarse voice: "No matter what you are now,
Who, but Chen Baiqi, please be fair to me..."
He calmed down his emotions and slowed down his breathing: "I was wrong, but my mistake will not lead to death. I have guarded you for so long, and I have waited for you for so long. Without you in this world, I have no interest in life, but you survived.
Even my old age is so scary...I can't bear to ask you about you, how you survived, how you became another person..."
"You can forget Chu State, forget everyone, including me... You can leave everything behind and turn around and leave resolutely. But I didn't even dare to catch up. I kept forcing myself to stand where I was, because
You are patient, just waiting for you to look back at me occasionally, but...how can you just choose to marry someone else so casually?"
At the end of his speech, he felt sad and desolate, and his lips turned pale: "——Do you really want to force me to death?"
When Chen Baiqi heard him mention "fairness", he actually made his humble feelings public and only begged her to give him a chance.
Her fingertips trembled slightly, and there was a slight pain in her heart that was being pulled, but her face was indifferent, even indifferent.
She often felt that these years had made her grow up a lot, at least she would no longer blame others innocently, but it turned out that he understood her, and she kept using her freedom and ease as an excuse to cover up the resentment deep in her heart.
She was able to be relaxed and understanding with other people, but she couldn't be with him.
Because she had been in love with him before.
Even if it's not deep, it's still unique at the time.
Because he was the first lord she assisted, she had no experience and did not understand the routines, but she was devoted to him. With all her emotions blended together, he became a being that was higher than her mission and more important than herself.
.
Therefore, the love between man and woman occupied the least part of her heart.
But precisely because of her absolute trust in him, she never thought that one day he would use his selfish desires to create a cocoon, tie her limbs, and finally be killed by the poison that had been hiding in the dark and waiting for opportunities.
, and ended up dead without a burial place.
She didn't know how many people in the world had experienced resurrection from the dead, but the "death" before "resurrection" would definitely leave a deep shadow on people, especially when she was about to become famous and show off her ambitions.
She "died" miserably at all times, and the person who murdered her was his most trusted confidant. The "sword" in this person's hand was handed over by him, and the "power" used by this person to round up was released by him. There are also those who have been with him.
The comrades she fought alongside betrayed her and killed her relatives and friends, all because they were afraid that she would be superior to her master and bewitched by her charming appearance.
She didn't know what she did wrong. Was it because she had been with him for too long? Was it because she was a female figure who stood too high? Was it because she was too defenseless... What was wrong with her?
Already?
Or should I say, she was wrong everywhere.
It is very simple to "kill" a person. Just reject all her efforts and tell her that everything she has done is wrong, and she will be destroyed bit by bit.
Although she doubted herself, she was not destroyed because she had a system and a heart far stronger than ordinary people, so she stood up with a new identity.
In the dead of night, she would reflect on herself. Everything she had worked so hard for had been wasted because she underestimated human nature and people's hearts. She recognized her fault, but she couldn't help but hate and complain.
There is a saying that is right, people tend to be stricter with people who are closer to them, and the more pure their feelings are, the easier they are to be hurt.
She could kill the original mastermind without hesitation, but she had always been a little sloppy when it came to Chu Cangyue. In the past, when she faced him, she only wanted to stay away from him and avoid him.
When this happens, you can't just treat it like a stranger and just watch with cold eyes.
Later, she really let go of the past grudges from the bottom of her heart, but fate played tricks on people, and they were destined to be unable to go back to the past...
She took a step back, gathered her sleeves and robe to her chest, and gave a graceful salute. She could not get up for a long time: "Chen Rui is lucky to be favored by the King of Chu. It's a pity that Luo Fu has a husband now, so she can only regret that she will be with Chu in this life.
The king has no fate."
Chu Cangyue's eyes reflected her figure declining to salute him, and his eyes were filled with light. He felt his eardrums buzzing, and his heart felt as if someone had hollowed out a piece of it.
He half-covered his long and narrow eyelashes, and the shadow cast a dark light on his light-transparent pupils. He smiled stiffly: "It doesn't matter. Once Gu kills him, you will be single again."
