Please, marry a white snake wife. It’s super cool.

Chapter 249 Welcome Her Royal Highness the Princess back home!

The bandit leader, who was hit on the head by a heavy hammer, felt dizzy.

Another Jinyiwei said: "You hit him really hard. This is our reward money. If you kill him, we will have no money left."

The Jinyiwei who hit the bandit leader with a heavy hammer said: "We have to wait here. Most of our brothers are in the imperial capital. If they patrol, they will definitely get rewards."

"That's true." After hearing this, the Jinyiwei thought it was indeed unfair, so he turned around and gave the bandit leader another big punch.

"you."

The resentful Jinyiwei could only vent their anger on these bandits.

The gang leader protested: "You, you are enforcing the law violently!"

"Hey, you are a gangster and you still know about 'violent law enforcement'? I will let you know whether it is violent or not in a moment!"

A Jinyiwei grabbed the bandit leader by the throat and threw him to the ground.

Another Jinyiwei joined in, stepped forward and kicked hard, muttering:

"Is it violent or not? Is it violent or not?"

This funny scene caused the surrounding Jinyiwei to burst into laughter.

"whoosh whoosh"

Accompanied by a sharp sound of breaking through the air, several arrows shot from the powerful crossbow pierced through the chest.

The two Jinyiwei who were kicking the bandit leader looked down at their chests in disbelief.

His eyes were wide open, blood was oozing from the corners of his mouth, and then he fell to the ground and died.

The sudden attack caused many Jinyiwei and tied-up bandits to fall to the ground after being shot by arrows.

"Enemy attack! There is an enemy attack!" the Jinyiwei who reacted shouted.

The remaining five Jinyiwei fell to the ground, using the corpses on the ground as shields to block the arrows shot from afar.

These Jinyiwei were all in disguise and had no weapons to defend against arrows.

The bandits who were tied up were not so lucky.

After several rounds of volleys, there were countless holes on his body, but he didn't make any sound before he died.

The surviving Jinyiwei knew very well that they had encountered a master, and the bows and arrows they used were not available on the market.

The bandit leader who had been knocked to the ground earlier was thrashing around, paddling hard, looking for cover, thinking:

"Damn it, who are they talking about? Why are they killing people randomly?"

Soon, a group of masked men rushed over on war horses.

The Jinyiwei who were crawling on the ground stood up and fought with him at close range.

With equal strength, cavalry can easily defeat infantry.

Long sickle-hook spears reaped the lives of the Jinyiwei.

A sickle-hook spear cut through the ropes on the bandit leader, kicked him, and said, "Get up, don't lie down!"

The bandit leader stood up quickly without even having time to brush off the dust on his body, and saw only corpses all over the ground.

You have to know that most of the people on the ground were slaughtered indiscriminately by these masked men holding sickle-hook guns.

Even so, the lone bandit leader did not dare to show the slightest displeasure.

The bandit leader bowed and said, "Thank you for saving me!"

The masked man asked directly: "Is it done?"

The bandit leader bowed his hands and bowed again and said, "Don't worry, my son, everything will be done properly, there will definitely not be any mistakes!"

"There is still one flaw." said the masked man.

"What's the problem?"

泚.
"It's gone now, let's go!" The masked man jumped on the horse and galloped away!
After a while.

When another team of Jinyiwei arrived, no one at the scene could breathe.

"Quick! Report to the commander!" shouted a Jinyiwei.

In the imperial capital, Lu Yuan and Gu Ziyue had finished their work.

Gu Gaoxu walked up to the two of them and said with a smile, "Brother Lu, you look really handsome today. You're almost as handsome as me."

Gu Ziyue, who was wearing a wedding dress, interrupted and said, "How disrespectful! This is Uncle Lu!"

Gu Ziyue is the emperor's youngest daughter, and Gu Gaoxu is the second son of Prince of Yan Gu Di. The two are aunt and nephew.

But Gu Ziyue is a few years younger than Gu Gaoxu.

Gu Gaoxu never called Gu Ziyue "Auntie", and only in private, when he couldn't persuade her any more, would he call her that reluctantly.

"This..." Gu Gaoxu scratched his head, looking embarrassed.

Lu Yuan watched with a teasing look from the side, teasing Gu Gaoxu with his eyes from time to time.

Instead, Gu Gaochi on the side bowed and said, "Congratulations to Princess Xi Ning on her wedding today. We, as the younger generation, have come here to congratulate you!"

Gu Ziyue responded repeatedly, stepped on Gu Gaoxu's foot, and came closer to him and said, "Your nephew is not as polite as others."

"Yuer!" Queen Ma called out from the side.

Gu Ziyue left after hearing the sound.

Gu Gaoxu grabbed Lu Yuan's clothes and said, "Brother Lu, long time no see, shall we have a drink later?"

Lu Yuan brushed away Gu Gaoxu's hand and patted his shoulder. He could clearly feel that Gu Gaoxu's body was stronger than before.

Lu Yuan said earnestly, "My dear nephew, let's go out for a drink with your aunt, and we'll talk about it later. Tomorrow your uncle will treat you to a drink!"

Gu Gaoxu was stunned by Lu Yuan's serious words, and bent down and said, "Okay, aunt. Bah, bah, bah, Brother Lu, you go ahead!"

"Hahahaha" Lu Yuan laughed a few times and then left with Yue'er.

Gu Gaoxu looked at his elder brother and said, "Brother, is this bullying?"

Gu Gaochi said nothing, just patted his shoulder and went to the banquet.

"In the past, we were brothers, but now he is one generation older than us. Damn it!" Gu Gaoxu muttered to himself, and looked for someone to have a meal and chat with in a depressed mood.

The burning of the posthouse outside the imperial city and the attack and killing of the Jinyiwei were soon reported to the ears of the Northern Pacification Office.

The Northern Pacification Envoy was stunned at first, and after hesitating for more than ten seconds, he reported the matter to the Jinyiwei Commander Mao Xiang.

Jinyiwei Commander Mao Xiang suppressed the matter and said, "Send someone to deal with the scene. This matter will not be raised until after Princess Yuening's wedding!"

When the Northern Pacification Envoy heard his superior speak, he gave the order.

Lu Yuan was a little drunk, mostly because he drank for Yue'er.

"Sir, I am the abbot of the Tianchao Palace. A few days ago, the great elder of the Tianchao Palace offended me. Please forgive me!" said an old Taoist with white beard and white eyebrows, holding a cup of tea.

Lu Yuan had never seen this old Taoist before, but he was very familiar with the Great Elder Kong of the Heavenly Palace. This man coveted the Heavenly Master Sword in Lu Yuan's hand and openly snatched it away.

The Grand Elder of the Tianchao Palace did not come, perhaps because he was afraid that it would be a bit awkward to meet Lu Yuan.

The princess is getting married today, and the hosts from Tianchao Palace and Leshen Temple are here.

Lu Yuan said drunkenly: "It's okay, it's no problem, we'll visit you tomorrow!" "Then I'll be waiting for you!" said the host of Tianchao Palace with a smile.

The two of them clinked their glasses and drank the wine (tea) in the glasses.

The abbot of Leshen Temple, who was not far away, saw that the old man from Tianchao Palace had taken the lead and cursed in his heart, "You old Taoist priest with a cow nose!"

After the abbot of Tianchao Palace left, the abbot of Leshen Temple and the great elder followed closely and came forward.

"Elder! I am the abbot of Le Shen Temple. I didn't see you the last time you came to my temple. It's such a pity!" The abbot of Le Shen Temple came over with a wine glass.

It was another old Taoist priest with white beard and white eyebrows, and he looked no younger than the previous one.

The Grand Elder of Leshen Temple also held up his wine glass and called out, "Elder Lu!"

Lu Yuan raised his wine glass to cover half of his face and whispered:

"Master, Great Elder, please don't tell anyone that we have the Taoist Elder Order. And don't call me elder in front of everyone. It's embarrassing."

The "elder" here is a respectful title, referring to the Taoist elder, not the elder of a certain Taoist temple. The status of the two is very different.

The abbot of Leshen Temple also has a Taoist elder order in his hand. When other Taoist temples see it, it is not wrong to respectfully call him "elder".

"My young friend, you are right. I will be more careful in the future." The host of Leshen Temple always has a smiling face and behaves very kindly.

When Lu Yuan and the two held the cups together, he asked in confusion, "Can you two drink?"

I'm afraid he's not a Taoist priest who loves wine and meat.

The host of Leshen Temple drank it all in one gulp and said with a smile: "Wine and meat pass through the intestines, but what remains in the heart of the ancestor~"

Lu Yuan responded: "Senior is still very insightful~"

"My dear friend, you are too kind!"

The entire imperial capital was busy all day, with ministers toasting each other.

It was getting late, so Lu Yuan was about to take Princess Yuening out of the imperial capital.

The eunuch from the Imperial Household Department told Lu Yuan early on, fearing that the prince consort would make another mistake and lose face.

On the Ten Princes' Mansion Street in the imperial city, the third house on the right is the mansion prepared for the young couple. There is red silk hanging at the door of the mansion, making it easy to recognize them.

This mansion is where Princess Yuening will temporarily live in the imperial city after her marriage.

Lu Yuan didn’t have a house in the imperial city, and as a princess of a country, she couldn’t just sleep in an inn.

Of course, after Gu Ziyue married Lu Yuan, she would return to Taining City. She would not live in the imperial city for a long time, and she would not be allowed to enter the imperial capital to meet the emperor without being summoned.

Before leaving the imperial capital, Gu Ziyue said goodbye to her father and mother one by one. Her eyes were filled with tears, the corners of her mouth were trembling, and it was unknown what she wanted to say.

Perhaps, only when she gets married will Gu Ziyue realize that there are still many things she has not had time to say.

Do you want to thank your parents for bringing you up? Do you want to say how much you are reluctant to leave? Do you want to say that you have grown up and become sensible?
Gu Ziyue had so much to say, and in the end, it all turned into two drops of hot tears, dripping into the imperial capital.

In the past, Gu Ziyue always liked to sneak out of the imperial capital, infatuated with the colorful world outside.

But today, after the wedding ceremony, she will follow her man out of the gate of the imperial capital.

Once you take that step, it will be difficult to come back.
As the saying goes, marry a chicken, follow the chicken; marry a dog, follow the dog. Whether the future days are sweet or bitter, Gu Ziyue will have to bear it by herself.

As long as the family works together, things will get better slowly. Besides, Lu Yuan is not a poor boy.

"Father, Mother, we are leaving. Father, please take care of yourself. Mother, please make sure to eat on time and don't worry." Gu Ziyue said with a sob before leaving.

The emperor didn't say anything and just patted his daughter's head as usual.

The queen suppressed her reluctance, held her daughter's hand, and said, "If you encounter something you can't solve outside, remember to tell father and mother."

"Don't worry, we will!" Gu Ziyue replied.

Lu Yuan stood aside, cupped his hands firmly and said, "Your Majesty, Queen, please rest assured that I will definitely treat the princess as the apple of my eye and will not let her suffer any grievances."

The emperor was very pleased after hearing this. He patted Lu Yuan on the shoulder and said, "It's getting late. Go."

After bowing again, Gu Ziyue climbed onto the carriage and slowly drove out of the imperial capital with Lu Yuan's wedding procession.

The streets of the imperial city were filled with common people joining in the fun; some bowed, some clasped their hands, but no one dared to point fingers.

Lu Yuan's convoy had just driven out of the imperial capital's gate.

Lu Yuan, who was riding a foreign horse, saw from afar his wife holding his mother-in-law's arm, standing on the side of the street.

The rest of the trusted men and palace guards, with swords slung over their waists, surrounded the mother and daughter.

"This is not right! Why are my wife and mother waiting for us at the gate of the imperial capital? Didn't we agree to meet them at the posthouse?"

Lu Yuan was extremely puzzled, "Could it be that something happened?"

The wedding procession moved slowly past, and Lu Yuan stretched out his hand to signal the procession to stop.

Gu Ziyue, who was sitting in the carriage, felt that the convoy had stopped, but it was not easy for her to show up. She thought that something was hindering the convoy's progress.

Lu Yuan got off the horse, walked up to his wife, and asked, "Mom, wife, what's wrong?"

The people around were also confused when they heard it, "Wife?"

Lu Yuan is really brave and doesn't shy away from these things at all. This shows the status of Su Liyan in Lu Yuan's heart.

Su Liyan lowered her head and said, "Brother, it's all our fault. We failed to protect the property of the innkeeper, and the bad guys set the house on fire."

Lu Yuan asked his wife to turn half a circle, then he turned half a circle himself, and asked, "Are you not hurt?"

"No, but the bad guy got away!" Su Liyan said aggrievedly.

Lu Yuan held him in his arms and comforted him, "It's okay, as long as you're okay!"

Su Liyan coughed, glanced at the carriage behind Lu Yuan, and said in a voice transmission: "Sir, the princess is still waiting in the carriage."

Su Liyan's mother was quite sensible and did not ignore others just because her son-in-law doted on her daughter.

At his mother's reminder, Lu Yuan stood up and said, "Mother, wife, please excuse me and squeeze into the carriage at the back. We will stay there and not go back to the inn."

There was another carriage behind the convoy, which was originally loaded with some valuable gifts to be sent to the imperial capital.

The queen sent some more gifts back, and there was still some space in the carriage, enough for two people to sit in.

Su Liyan's mother said, "Daughter, let's get in the car first, and we can talk about it later if there is anything!"

"Yeah!" Su Liyan responded.

Before Lu Yuan mounted his horse, he secretly took out a stack of banknotes from his bosom and stuffed them into the sleeve of a trusted confidant.

Lu Yuan said to him, "You and Xiao Li, go to the posthouse outside the city and give the shopkeeper some silver as compensation."

"Okay, nephew." The confidant responded.

Lu Yuan jumped on his horse, and the person leading the convoy shouted, "Make way, make way, let's go!"

After walking for dozens of minutes, the convoy arrived at Shiwangfu Street.

As soon as the convoy turned into the street, we could see a red cloth hanging in front of the door of the third mansion on the right. I guess this is the one.

When the convoy arrived at the gate of the mansion, several guards and maids ran down the steps to greet them, bowed and said:
"Welcome back to the mansion, Prince Consort and Princess!"

　Feel sorry!
　　Please criticize me gently!!!

　　May 5th, no updates for one day!
　　On May 5th, Lu Yuan and Gu Ziyue will have their wedding night!
