Bai Shanglu was startled. He saw that Old Man Jiang's expression had changed. He was usually kind and amiable, but now he looked like a hawk, grinding his teeth and sucking blood as he spoke, as if he wanted to kill someone.
"I..." Bai Shanglu hesitated, "Can I?"
"Why not? You are Wanzhi's husband! The son-in-law I approve of!" Old Man Jiang slammed his fist on the table and roared.
Like a bolt from the blue, Bai Shanglu suddenly sobered up, covered in cold sweat. He clenched his fists and recalled every moment he had spent with Jiang Wanzhi over the past three years.
Everyone in Kunshan treated him like a joke, but he himself was also a disappointment.
But Old Man Jiang and Jiang Wanzhi, father and daughter, never looked down on him, and never spoke ill of him.
He should have stood up for that trust, instead of hiding in the wine cellar drinking.
"What if... Wan Zhi hates me? What if I ruin her plans?" Bai Shanglu hesitated again.
Old Man Jiang smiled.
"You didn't even invite your father-in-law. Do you think Wanzhi did it voluntarily or was forced?" he asked.
Bai Shanglu understood. He had always known this in his heart, but when Jiang Wanzhi brought up divorce, he couldn't accept it at first and lived in a state of decadence, indulging in a life of debauchery.
I can give up alcohol now, but I can't give up my wife.
Rise up!
Bai Shanglu and Old Man Jiang left the house and saw a group of cronies from the business circle standing at the door.
To put it bluntly, they were all Jiang Wanzhi's sycophants, and they were all in the "Down with Zhao Xuzhen" group.
Some members of the "Down with Zhao Xuzhen" group betrayed him because of the high profits he promised, but others remained true to their original intentions and continued to fawn over him.
"Idiot! If you don't come out, I'll go save Wanzhi myself! I'll be a yellow-haired bastard for once!" the fat leader laughed and cursed.
"I'm sorry," Bai Shanglu said in a deep voice, not angry. He looked at his comrades and said, "I was wrong these past few days. I was a complete idiot. But don't worry, brothers, I won't be an idiot anymore."
"Wanzhi is my wife, I can't let Zhao Xuzhen have her!"
"You don't need to emphasize that!"
"Brothers, we only have one slogan: For Wanzhi, defeat Huang Mao and kill Zhao Xuzhen! Charge! Charge! Charge! Charge! Charge!" Bai Shanglu shouted, raising his arm.
"Alright! Bai Shanglu! Just for your last words, we brothers will charge in for you one more time!" the fat man said.
The wise men responded.
"It's just that Zhou Minhao is such a disloyal guy. Everyone was counting on him to step up and save face. He and Wanzhi were the best match among us," someone complained. "But he ran away and we haven't heard from him for days."
Bai Shanglu's lips twitched: "Don't tell the truth! I just made some bold statements, and you're already undermining me. It's really affecting morale!"
"Mine, mine."
So, where is Zhou Minhao?
There's a traffic jam.
Inside the taxi, Lu Mingfei looked at Zhou Minhao, who confidently declared, "Damn it, Zhao Xuzhen set this up!"
Chapter 138 The Mysterious Steed Steps on Water, Making a Dazzling Debut
Lu Mingfei remained silent, but caught a glimpse of a bicycle parked on the sidewalk out of the corner of his eye. "I have an idea."
Seeing this, Zhou Minhao guessed Lu Mingfei's thoughts and hesitated before asking, "Will we make it in time?"
“You ride your bicycle, I’ll carry you and run. We’ll make it in time,” Lu Mingfei said confidently.
Zhou Minhao: "??"
……
After some twists and turns, Bai Shanglu finally climbed onto the main ship and saw the wedding ceremony on the stage, where the couple was exchanging vows.
"Ms. Jiang Wanzhi, would you be willing...?"
"She doesn't want to!" Bai Shanglu shouted immediately, raising his hand to stop her.
Zhao Xuzhen saw Bai Shanglu and frowned in displeasure. What was wrong with the bodyguards on the shore? Were they just sitting around doing nothing? They didn't even stop Bai Shanglu.
In fact, the bodyguards on shore also felt wronged.
Apart from Old Man Jiang having some skills, they had never seen such a large group of kidnappers.
However, Bai Shanglu has the protagonist's halo, just like the common plot in TV dramas, the protagonist's friends and family cover the rear one by one, handing over the opportunity to face the big boss directly to the protagonist.
Now, except for Bai Shanglu, the entire kidnapping gang has been wiped out, and there is no need to fight anymore.
Jiang Wanzhi was both surprised and delighted when she saw Bai Shanglu.
But then Zhao Xuzhen noticed that he had signaled the bodyguards on the ship to throw the white pokeweed into the sea to feed the crabs, and suddenly pulled out a dagger from inside his wedding dress and stabbed Zhao Xuzhen.
"Snapped!"
Zhao Xuzhen gripped Jiang Wanzhi's wrist tightly with one hand and sneered, "Wanzhi, I knew you'd pull some dirty tricks."
Feeling the immense force binding him, Jiang Wanzhi delivered a high kick to Zhao Xuzhen, who released his grip and retreated, skillfully dodging the attack.
The guests below the stage looked at each other, wondering what was going on.
The band also stopped playing.
Zhao Xuzhen turned his head and ordered, "Continue! Keep the music playing, keep the dance going!"
His pupils were golden yellow, with what appeared to be swirling mandala patterns.
So the guests on the ship continued to laugh and chat, clinking glasses and enjoying themselves, while the band continued to perform, and beautiful music flowed gently.
More than a dozen bodyguards surrounded Bai Shanglu one after another.
Bai Shanglu saw Jiang Wanzhi and Zhao Xuzhen fighting and had no time to care about himself, but he was the one who kidnapped the bride, so how could he rely on his wife in the end?
Bai Shanglu realized that Jiang Wanzhi was indeed being coerced, and a surge of courage rose within him. No longer hesitant, he displayed astonishing talent in the face of the bodyguards' encirclement, dodging and weaving, pushing over tables and chairs, and causing a ruckus at the wedding.
Zhao Xuzhen berated the bodyguard team for being useless, saying that he had spent a lot of money and this was all they got?
They couldn't even catch one drunkard.
If it weren't for his capable secretary being on the shore to handle the reception, he would have captured Bai Shanglu long ago.
Zhao Xuzhen gave the order directly, and the guests also got up to arrest people.
The scene suddenly became eerie.
Jiang Wanzhi was anxious, but her strength was limited. She was only an A-level mixed-blood and had a three-year gap in her life. She was quickly brought under control by Zhao Xuzhen.
Zhao Xuzhen grabbed Jiang Wanzhi from behind, sniffing the fragrance on the back of her neck, and chuckled: "Wanzhi, give up. You are the bride chosen for me by the Temple. It is your honor to be with me."
Jiang Wanzhi cursed loudly, but to no avail.
She watched helplessly as Bai Shanglu was also trapped.
My heart sank to the bottom, and I was plunged into despair.
Everything is over.
"hiss!"
Suddenly, a high-pitched, long neigh came from afar and quickly approached.
Everyone, including Zhao Xuzhen, was stunned.
Where did the horse neighing come from on Yangcheng Lake?
Zhao Xuzhen, Jiang Wanzhi, Bai Shanglu, and the others looked in the direction of the sound and saw a scene they would never forget.
The ancient Chinese story of "Horse Trampling a Flying Swallow" describes a large horse trampling on the back of a galloping swallow. The swallow turns its head in surprise to look back, showcasing the majestic and swift movement of the horse.
Now, a black steed treads on the water, its four hooves shattering the shimmering blue waves of Yangcheng Lake, splashing silvery-white water half a meter high with its hooves.
They were clearly riding the waves, yet their bodies never sank.
Two figures stood out on horseback, one in front of the other. Lu Mingfei supported Zhou Minhao in front of him with one hand and gripped the horse's mane with the other. The wind made their clothes flutter.
Zhou Minhao has really made it big, enjoying the same treatment as Nuwa, but it feels a bit strange.
It turns out that Lu Mingfei's suggestion that he carry Zhou Minhao, who was riding a bicycle, was just a joke.
It's not that it's impossible, but it's too eye-catching and would easily become a news headline.
Riding a horse on the street would be much more discreet, wouldn't it?
Sleipnir made great contributions in the "Heaven Mending Operation" half a month ago, and Lu Mingfei rewarded it with some of the Blue Dragon's flesh and blood.
With the nourishment of dragon flesh and blood, Sleipnir grew at an astonishing rate.
Its size far exceeds that of ordinary stallions; its body is jet black without a single blemish, and its mane is like splashed ink.
As it sped across the water, its long, piercing cries shook the lake's surface, causing waves to surge. That cry that had just pierced through the clamor was none other than Sleipnir's.
Its golden eyes were cold and arrogant; it would have refused to carry Zhou Minhao if its master hadn't spoken.
In Sleipnir's mind, only Lu Mingfei was worthy of riding it.
The entire room fell silent. The guests and bodyguards on the ship were all frozen in place, some at a loss for what to do.
Only Jiang Wanzhi's beautiful eyes shone with hope. She didn't recognize Lu Mingfei, but she could clearly see Zhou Minhao.
Zhou Minhao has brought reinforcements!
Among the bodyguards, the one who looked like a reincarnated starving ghost froze, muttering, "Am I dreaming? I think I saw Mingming..."
"Enough!" Zhao Xuzhen couldn't help but shout. He didn't know why, maybe it was because the people trying to kidnap the bride were endless, or maybe the young man on horseback had stolen his thunder.
Sleipnir was incredibly fast, and in the blink of an eye, he reached the side of the main ship.
With a final leap, his massive body soared into the air, kicking up a cloud of water mist, before landing steadily on the wedding deck.
The horseshoes slammed heavily onto the solid wood floor, causing the entire cruise ship to sway slightly.
Lu Mingfei flipped over and landed smoothly, his eyes sweeping across the scene like lightning, immediately identifying which minotaur was who.
"Who are you?" Zhao Xuzhen asked with a gloomy face.
“Tauren hunters,” Lu Mingfei said in a deep voice.
Upon hearing this, Zhao Xuzhen felt it was absurd. Where did this lunatic come from?
But Lu Mingfei's extraordinary appearance immediately stunned the audience.
