The road to Jianghu started from the martial arts hall

Chapter 343 The Big Wedding
Qi Huaishan agreed so readily that Fang Xun had no doubts.

The reason why the other party wanted to be a vassal of the Prince of Yue's Palace was to obtain cultivation resources.

Martial artists at different levels eat different things. The higher the level, the higher the level of their daily rations. Of course, the daily diet of a master of the divine will cannot be whole grains.

Supporting a master of divine will requires a huge amount of resources. Apparently, after Qi Huaishan broke through to Yang Shen, he felt that the Tianluo Sect could no longer afford the resources he needed to continue his advancement.

As far as Fang Xun knew, the Tianluo Sect did not have a long history. It was a newly emerged sect within a hundred years. Its rise was all due to Qi Huaishan's breakthrough of the Yin God and its fame.

The strength is there, but some foundation is lacking.

Now that Qi Huaishan has broken through to the Yang God realm, he feels this. Just the daily supply of spiritual rice and spiritual medicine to the Yang God realm is a bit stretched, so he has the idea of ​​becoming a vassal of the King of Yue.

When Qi Huaishan heard Fang Xun say that after robbing the Wen family, he could take away some of the Yangshen realm cultivation resources obtained, his eyes lit up.

Li Wujiu, who was standing by, saw Qi Huaishan's expression and felt that Grand Master Yangshen also needed to eat. At the same time, he was also shocked by the wealth of the Prince of Yue's Mansion.

Fang Xun opened his mouth and said that after he robbed the Wen family, he could take any Yang Shen realm cultivation resources he got, and he didn't show any reluctance to give them up.

Thinking of this, Li Wujiu's heart was also burning with heat.

For a moment, the three people in the Maple Forest Garden were talking in a very harmonious atmosphere, and elsewhere in the palace, a black-feathered hawk also soared into the sky.

After the carrier eagle left the palace, it soared all the way, crossing many mountains and rivers, and flew from Wuzhou to Jiangzhou.

When passing Lingzhou along the way, you can also see the swamp on the ground that covers nearly half of the entire state.

If you zoom in, you can see that the flood, like a vast ocean, is slowly receding, leaving behind a muddy ground.

The flood has receded a little over the past few months and is expected to stabilize in another six months.

But looking at the current situation, even if it is stable, Lingzhou will probably have a few more large lakes.

The carrier eagle in the sky ignored the endless tide on the ground. It flew back and forth nine times between sunrise and sunset, but still hadn't passed Lingzhou and reached Jiangzhou.

At this time, in Jianye City, the several long streets near the Prince of Yue's Palace were already crowded with people. The crowds of guests coming from all directions were so surging that the streets were almost blocked. They were all there to attend the Prince of Yue's wedding.

Fortunately, Xiao Zhen led thousands of Jiangnan guards, and the Six Gates, the government office, and the state army also dispatched a large number of personnel to maintain order.

Prime Minister Li Muzhi also managed all the trivial matters in an orderly manner and there were no problems.

According to Fang Xun and Yu Jiaolong's ideas, all the formalities and etiquette should be kept as simple as possible.

Otherwise, if we really follow the etiquette, we will have to go through all the procedures including proposing marriage proposal, asking for the bride's name, proposing good luck, asking for the date, making an engagement, and finally formally welcoming the bride, and we still don't know how long we will have to wait.

And now, Yu Jiaolong got engaged on the spot after the succession ceremony, and they will be officially married in just over ten days.

However, no matter how simple it is, the King of Yue’s wedding cannot be really that simple.

"Old man, I'm on my way!"

Inside the palace, all ceremonial preparations were complete, and when the auspicious hour arrived, a wedding sedan carried by four people was seen being escorted out of the palace and onto the street.

All of a sudden, ceremonial music sounded, gongs and drums roared, and a huge wedding procession surrounded the wedding sedan and began to move towards the Baoxuan Pavilion family branch.

In this marriage, Fang Xun had no father or mother, his master Wei Lin also died young, and Yu Jiaolong had just lost her father and mother, so Old Man Mo took on the role of the father-in-law.

However, as Yu Jiaolong was the King of Yue, it was obviously impossible for her to follow the procedure of marrying out of the family, so she followed the procedure of marrying into the wife's family.

The woman's side will send a four-person wedding sedan to pick up the man into the house, commonly known as "carrying the man's head".

"Please invite newcomers!"

Before they knew it, the team arrived at the Baoxuan Pavilion branch. After the matchmaker sang a loud "yes", Fang Xun walked out slowly surrounded by a crowd of people.

He was dressed in golden and red auspicious clothes and walked slowly into the sedan chair. The huge wedding procession set off again slowly.

However, Fang Xun, who was sitting in the sedan chair, was still thinking about the black-feathered carrier eagle that flew out of the palace nine days ago.

"It's been nine days in a flash. I guess Dongfang Que and Yan Ming haven't received the letter yet. With such low communication efficiency, it was a wise decision to come up with the 'telegraph' earlier."

For Fang Xun, who has lived in the information age for more than 20 years, this information transmission efficiency is extremely low.

He was about to get ready for the wedding, but Jiangzhou Sixingtang hadn't received the letter yet. Correspondingly, the day when Qinglong Society would get back on track would be delayed by more than half a month.

'No wonder people in previous lives said that the imperial power in ancient times did not extend below the villages and towns. In this world, every dynasty has enfeoffed princes to rule the local areas, even though they knew there were great disadvantages, they had to do so.

With this level of information transmission and transportation, there is nothing we can do even if we want to.' While thinking, the team moved forward. The branch of Baoxuan Pavilion was not far from the palace.

However, it still took us almost half an hour to arrive after walking on the busy and noisy street.

By this time, noon had long passed and a hint of sunset glow could already be seen on the horizon.

When Fang Xun arrived at the Prince of Yue's Mansion, it was the auspicious time of dusk.

The mansion was filled with guests, and all the important figures in Jianye City had come.

As for other major martial arts sects and prominent families in Jiangnan, even if the heads of the other sects did not come in person, they still sent their core members with valuable gifts to congratulate.

"The peach tree is young and tender, its flowers are bright and beautiful, the young man is suitable for marrying into the family."

Accompanied by the high-pitched singing of a pair of boys and girls, Yu Jiaolong was seen strolling out, supported by several old women. She was surrounded by maids dressed in tight clothes, looking heroic.

She herself was not wearing a bright red wedding dress or a phoenix coronet or bridal robe, but a black and red auspicious dress, which was solemn and auspicious.

Although her face was covered by a red veil, her graceful figure still astounded all the guests.

Yu Jiaolong then stepped forward, welcomed Fang Xun out of the sedan chair, and they exchanged solemn greetings.

Soon, the newlyweds were welcomed to the table in the center of the lobby in an elegant and solemn atmosphere.

There was a sheep (a sheep used for sacrifice in ancient times) and two glasses of wine on the table.

Yu Jiaolong and Fang Xun sat opposite each other at the table. They ate from the same pot and drank from the same cup, thus forming a unity, treating each other with the same respect and affection.

This means that the couple will love each other and share weal and woe from now on.

At this moment, all the guests in the room had solemn expressions, so solemn that one could hear a pin drop, as they witnessed the etiquette of the newlyweds.

Anyone who dares to look around or make a noise is considered rude and may be directly regarded as an enemy who comes to disrupt the wedding!
Yu Jiaolong and Fang Xun ate from the same pot. Once this ceremony was completed, they became official husband and wife, a fact that no one could change.

After the ceremony, the two newlyweds stood up immediately and the hall became noisy again.

The sound of toasts to congratulate was heard continuously, and Fang Xun and Yu Jiaolong also responded one by one.

After a while, the two of them were surrounded by a group of heroic maids dressed in formal attire and were about to be taken to the bridal chamber.

At this moment, a clear voice sounded in the hall.

"Today is your wedding day, so we shouldn't come and spoil the fun."

In an instant, the other guests also fell silent, looking towards the source of the sound with a hint of surprise in their eyes.

Fang Xun and Yu Jiaolong frowned and stopped.

Then a young man dressed in white, with his hair tied up and a tall crown, dressed like a Confucian scholar, slowly walked out of the crowd, his eyes looking indifferently at the newlyweds in front of him.

The eyes of the several scholars in long gowns following behind him seemed a little emotional, and there seemed to be a hint of resentment in their expressions.

After Fang Xun glanced at the other person, he turned his gaze slightly and saw that Wen Ruhui, the head of the Wen family, was standing on the side not far away, but he was also frowning.

It looked like he wanted to say something to the scholar in white, but didn't have the chance to open his mouth.

But after the scholar in white walked out of the crowd and stood still, the voice did not stop.

".But I still want to ask, what is your relationship with the Ghost-Faced Man?"

Suddenly, the crowd in the hall went wild.

They all looked at the scholar in white in surprise, and a hint of murderous intent flashed in Yu Jiaolong's eyes. When she was about to say something, she was stopped by Fang Xun's secret message.

"Don't pay attention to him, let's go into the new house."

While Fang Xun was transmitting the message, he looked at the scholar in white with an indifferent look.

"Who do you think you are to ask us?"

After saying this, she no longer paid attention to the other party, and together with Yu Jiaolong, she was surrounded by maids and walked deep into the hall, preparing to enter the bridal chamber.

The faces of several people, including the white-robed scholar, turned pale and blue.
