Chapter 1635 Ren Zijuan is approaching (4)
Taking a concubine is no different than marrying a wife. It does not require so many red tapes and does not require a lot of fanfare. Many people even advocate keeping things simple and doing things quietly.
However, for Feng Ziying, he still hopes to give the Spring Festival a beautiful mark as much as possible, so that people can remember everything about this day for the rest of their lives.
As the carriage drove into the east corner gate of Rongguo Mansion, several men who had been hibernating in a courtyard at the entrance of Rongning Street let out a heavy breath.
"Shimian, I'm afraid it won't work today. This man named Feng is too cautious. Have you noticed that there are several people following him to welcome the bride, five men and one woman, all of whom are from the Lian family. I know one of the men, and the one who is the best The thin one is Su Bojun, the second disciple of Dahe Gang leader Mu Changhe. He has already mastered the twelve transformations of the Eagle and Snake. He is second only to Mu Changhe and his senior brother Mu Tianen in the Dahe Gang." The bearded man has a masculine look. He was calm and his eyes were bright, "Unless you use a crossbow or a musket to make a surprise attack, if Su Bojun and the rest of us fight alone, except for Brother Shimian and me, I'm afraid no one can be sure that we can win in the 20th round." It’s affordable.”
"I know that woman." Another short, thin and agile man leaned on the eaves and tiles and kept observing until Feng Ziying and his party entered the corner gate of Rongguo Mansion, then flew down lightly.
"She is the concubine of Peng Jinpeng, the master of the Wuhu Duanmendao sect, and also his junior sister. She is the so-called fire lady Qi Wuyan in the North. She usually wears a fiery red dress. Today she changed her clothes and changed her clothes. As for her makeup, she also has the skill of posing the legs in a lotus leaf skirt, and the edges of her embroidered shoes are full of razor blades, which are extremely sharp, and those who don’t know it are the king of **** who accepts his fate.”
These words made several men interested. The leader, Feng Shimian, remained silent, but the other guy, who was a bit oily, couldn't help but tease, "Little flea, have you ever suffered a loss?"
The dry and small man is a well -known runner -up to help the underworld figure.
Wei He didn't pay attention. He stroked his left arm and pulled up his sleeve to his shoulder, exposing it. His left upper arm looked like a torn wound, extending from the elbow to his shoulder. It was as hideous as a thousand-legged centipede. Horrible, although it is an old scar, it is still shocking.
"I met this hot lady five years ago. I just looked at the knife in her hand. I didn't know that she was also hiding her legs under her skirt. I suffered a loss." Wei He said it very calmly, but there was hatred in his eyes. But it is difficult to hide.
Everyone couldn't help but take a breath when they saw the injuries. They didn't know how Wei He escaped with such a serious injury. The Wuhu Door-Breaking Sword was a well-known sect in the North, with a ruthless style. Once they meet, it won't be easy for you.
But Wei He was just recruited into the religion, so Feng Shimian would naturally not care about the bad things he did a few years ago.
"I also recognize one, the short fat guy walking at the back who is a little slow." The oily man also joined in the conversation, "If I'm not mistaken, he should be a bald donkey, but I don't know why he returned to secular life. The guy carrying the burden was covered up. It should be a Zen rod with iron and water grinding. The head of the Zen rod was wrapped in cloth, hiding its features. I remember that when I met him the year before last, he was still hanging orders at Pu'an Temple. What if It’s not that his walking posture is too special, I don’t even dare to recognize him.”
"Pu'an Temple?" Feng Shimian's eyes flickered, "Pu'an Temple in the west corner of the river channel?"
"Well, the year before last, I was at the gate of Pu'an Temple and watched him enter the mountain gate. Later, I inquired about it and found out that he had been staying at Pu'an Temple for two or three years, but he didn't follow the rules very well. He likes to eat meat and drink alcohol. He is a typical wine-meat monk." The slick man nodded.
The burly man with beard nodded solemnly, "Shimian, Pu'an Temple is the territory of Shaolin Temple."
"Well, that guy was born in Shaolin. Later he was kicked out of the mountain gate for unknown reasons. He has been wandering around Henan and Shandong. He just came north to Shuntian Mansion two years ago. I wonder if you have heard of Temuyu Hongen? "
Wei He, the bearded man, and another thin man dressed as a scribe in a long gown who had been squatting by the door all nodded with heavy expressions. They all lived in the Northland and heard the name of the person and the shadow of the tree. I said he was a ruthless character from Shaolin.
The man with the beard smiled bitterly. He was also from a well-known family, but he had committed a crime and couldn't help but wander around. He couldn't survive anymore, so he gritted his teeth and joined the White Lotus Sect.
Even an upright sect must survive. How can the Shaolin Temple be as powerful as it is today just by relying on the thousands of acres of land under the mountain? How can Wudang stand side by side with Shaolin by relying only on the little land in the mountains and rewards from the court?
That famous sect doesn’t make a living? Relying on land rent to make a living is the most reliable and safe business, but also the least cost-effective. Escort agencies, horse and carriage shops, boat shops, and medicine shops are all the most popular businesses for wealthy people.
It can not only take advantage of the sect's military deterrence, but also digest a large number of disciples who have little talent in the sect, and find a way for them to beg for food. There are thousands of disciples in Shaolin Wudang, how can there be so many talents who can practice unique skills? More than 90% of them are just ordinary people who practice martial arts to strengthen their bodies and become stronger than ordinary people. Relying on the sect is just to find a way to make a living.
As a sect, you naturally have the obligation to find a way out for your disciples, so it is the unshirkable responsibility of the leaders of each sect and gang to find various resources to plan a living. And who has the most resources in the world is, of course, the court. The government is gone.
"Could this be a trap?" The bearded man asked: "Although the man named Feng is accompanied by guards, they are only two or three people. It's just that his route is too reasonable. The Five Cities Soldiers and Horses Division and patrol officers There are too many people in the camp on this road, and the three teams of policemen in Shuntian Mansion have also been reorganized. Many new people have entered, many of them are disciples of the sects in Shuntian Mansion. There are many arrangements in this line, and there seems to be no one there today. The guards all pretended to be his entourage and wore makeup. If you don't recognize them and attack rashly, you will suffer a big loss."
"It's not a trap, but this guy is indeed timid and cautious." Feng Shimian sighed with regret, "Last time we failed to succeed at the Gu River Ferry, this guy became alert all of a sudden. Today it's him It is impossible for him to set up an ambush for this kind of thing on the day when he takes a concubine. I am afraid that he has not realized at all that we have people watching him all the time."
If it weren't for the news from Feng's house that he was going out early in the morning to get married, they wouldn't have thought of setting up an ambush here, but they didn't expect this guy to be so defensive.
“What should I do?” asked the bearded man, “How should I explain it to you, Master?”
"Young Master only said that we should try our best, but Brother Sizhong specifically warned us not to scare the snake away, not to act rashly, and not to take action unless we are absolutely sure. We still have big things to do." Feng Shimian pondered for a moment, "Actually, I think Brother Zhong doesn’t agree with the young master’s order, for he is afraid of alarming the enemy, but the young master always feels that Feng Keng is too dangerous, and is worried that the longer it drags on, the harder it will be to take action, and the fewer opportunities there will be, so he wants to get it done once and for all..."
"Then do we still need to wait any longer? Let's see if there is a chance when he comes out to get married..." The bearded man hesitated. This group is headed by Feng Shimian, and he is his deputy.
"No more waiting, retreat!" Feng Shimian decisively ordered: "Shuntianfu Yamen is sorting out the situation of various buildings in the city these days. If there is any suspicion, they will come and check again and again. We cannot stay in this place for a long time. It is said that the place was closed the day before yesterday. The yamen and city officials came to check, but they were dealt with by the people we left here. I'm worried they won't give up..."
The group of people quickly evacuated from the back door. An hour later, Li Zheng from Jinchengfang led people from Wanping County Government to knock on the door again, but no one answered.
Feng Ziying naturally didn't know what was going on behind this. Taking a concubine required riding a horse or riding a car and swaggering through the city. Wu Yaoqing and the others would naturally consider safety issues.
In the past, Feng Ziying's routes were relatively fixed, and he always chose a route that was a little farther away but densely populated with patrol camps and Wucheng Military and Horse Division posts. Moreover, the three squadrons of Shuntian Prefecture's policemen often had people on this route. .
This time, we have to take a major road to get married, not the original route, so we naturally have to prepare all the escorts. In addition to these accompanying guards, Wu Yaoqing even quietly greeted He Huchen, who had officially entered the Fifth Army Camp, and let He Huchen familiarize himself with it. On the grounds of the capital city, a team of gunmen was mobilized as a backup.
After entering the Rongguo Mansion, Feng Ziying, dressed in new clothes, walked to the gate of the Grand View Garden. Naturally, the other girls were not allowed to show their faces. When passing by the Xiaoxiang Pavilion, Feng Ziying could still see Zijuan, Xueyan and other maids and other people watching with smiles. In the Didui Pavilion, Tanchun's personal maid Cui Mo, Shi Xiangyun's maid Cui Lu, and Li Wan's maid Suyun Biyue, all looked forward to it.
Taking a concubine cannot be done with gongs, drums and loud noises like marrying a wife, but you can make a fuss about the attire along the way. This line is all decorated with flowers and colors, all the way to Zhujin Tower. Jia She and his wife are also waiting at the entrance of Zhujin Tower. When he saw Feng Ziying and his entourage arriving, he entered the house. Naturally, the procedure was inevitable, but it was much simpler than marrying a wife.
Seeing the hijabed Yingchun walking out with lotus steps, her fragrant shoulders trembled slightly, Feng Ziying's heart was filled with sweetness. After all the twists and turns, she finally hugged the beauty back home.
