Chapter 235 How about... we fight for this kiss after we finish the meal?
“Master…Ah! Save me…Master, save me!!”
The shadow guard, whose body was surrounded by emerald green flames, screamed for help. Yi Bu's face turned frighteningly black. The other fellow disciples felt sorry for him but could do nothing.
Everyone had no choice but to turn their gaze to Yi Bu. Yi Bu looked up to the sky and sighed. He unsheathed the sword in his hand and pierced the shadow guard's heart in an instant!
"Qin Zhuo, don't blame me for being cruel. I have no other choice but to give you a quick death!"
Yi Bu retracted his sword, closed his eyes, and muttered to himself. The other shadow guards also lowered their heads and sighed.
Wen Yanzhao raised his eyebrows and shook his head:
"Yibu, Yibu, you are such a good master. Instead of saving your apprentice, you stabbed him to death with a sword!"
Ib was extremely angry, his face was as red as pig liver:
"You scoundrel, what a vicious method you use! Everyone in the world knows how powerful your poison is. How can I watch my apprentice suffer?"
Wen Yanzhao tilted his head and smiled: "Since you know my methods, why are you guys trying to stop me? Are you looking for death?"
Ye Dingzhi shook his arm, and the black umbrella suddenly turned and transformed into an ancient long sword:
"Cousin, why waste time talking to him? No matter who stands in my way today, the result will be the same!"
Baili Dongjun leaned over to Ye Dingzhi and whispered:
"Brother Yun, if you marry Yi Wenjun in the future, Yi Bu will seem like your father-in-law, Taishan..."
"You drew your sword on him, wasn't that a bit disrespectful?"
Wen Yanzhao heard this clearly. He turned around and sneered,
"Even if your brother Yun acknowledges him as his father-in-law, he still won't look down on your brother Yun, a wanted criminal of the imperial court!"
Yi Bu saw the three young men below whispering to each other. He was already afraid of Wen Yanzhao. If he hadn't been ordered by the emperor to protect the palace, he might have slipped away by now...
A member of the Hawkeye Shadow Guard had just died, and now the morale was greatly reduced. Ib was anxious and hesitant, and for a moment he really didn't know whether to advance or retreat.
The sword-wielding young man with a broken eyebrow behind him whispered:
"Master, those guys down there don't seem easy to deal with...why don't we retreat first and wait for reinforcements from the Imperial Guards and the Jinwu Guards to arrive? Then we can join forces inside and outside to strangle these traitors...what do you think?"
Yi Bu felt relieved immediately and secretly praised the boy for his foresight in providing him with a ladder to get down when he was in trouble.
He deliberately put on a face full of bitterness and hatred and said, "Xue Yihang is right! Even if we can defeat the three of them now, we will inevitably suffer some casualties!"
"Master will go seek help from Lord Mu and Grand Supervisor Zhuoqing first. The five of you will cover our retreat!"
After saying this, Yi Bu summoned his inner strength, crushed the tiles beneath his feet, and fled towards the northeast...
When Wen Yanzhao saw Yi Bu running away, he didn't chase him sincerely, but just mocked him:
"Leader of the Shadow Sect... Hehe, is this all you have?"
When the remaining five people saw that their master had escaped, they did not dare to stop him by force. They chased each other and hated their parents for not giving them two more legs. They left the corpse that was burned to ashes and ran away!
Baili Dongjun and Ye Dingzhi exchanged a glance: "They all...all ran away? Then who are we going to fight?"
Wen Yanzhao scratched his ears and laughed:
"Why fight? Just go in and rob him!"
As soon as Wen Yanzhao finished speaking, the two vermilion-lacquered doors of the palace unexpectedly opened, and then a group of people came out to clean the gate and the street in front of it.
There were also several gatekeepers who carried huge red lanterns and silk and set up wooden ladders, ready to hang them on both sides of the gate.
Those people didn't pay any attention to the three handsome young men holding knives and swords outside the door. They were all concentrating on the work in their hands.
Ye Dingzhi held the Zhenwu Sword helplessly: "Hiss... How come they aren't nervous at all when they see us?"
"We are going to rob the bride, and the one we are robbing is the princess. This is a capital crime punishable by death and extermination of the entire clan!"
Baili Dongjun turned his head and said, "The servants of the palace are different. They have seen a lot of things, so they don't take us three seriously."
Wen Yanzhao looked at the two brothers as if they were idiots, then rushed to the door, pulled over a man who was tying red silk, and asked:
"Hey? Big brother...I want to ask you something!"
The man didn't even look up from his work. "What? Say it!"
Wen Yanzhao: "Is today the day of Prince Jingyu's wedding?"
The man was startled, then rolled his eyes at Wen Yanzhao: "Why else would we be hanging red silk and lanterns here so early in the morning?"
"Who doesn't want to take a nap early in the morning?"
Wen Yanzhao asked again, "What is the auspicious time?"
The man said impatiently, "Why are you acting so silly, young master? Didn't the invitation say 'Si 8 o'clock'?"
"Alas, the eyesight of young people nowadays is getting worse and worse. It's because they read too many idle books and unofficial histories..."
Wen Yanzhao was speechless for a moment and muttered, "So, we're here too early?"
The man finally put on the red silk and turned around to tease:
"I said, young master, you are so handsome, why are you so greedy?"
"Although our palace's wedding banquet is far superior to those held by ordinary people, you are a little too impatient to wait for the banquet so early in the morning, aren't you?"
At this time, another old man at the door who looked like a manager from his clothes cursed:
"Chatterbox Yu, how dare you speak to a guest like that?! How dare you! Go back to your business!"
Then he walked up to Wen Yanzhao, bowed with a smile on his face and said:
"Please forgive me, sir. I am Luo, the steward of the Jingyu Palace. You can just call me Old Luo! I beg for your forgiveness for any rude remarks from the servants of this palace!"
"I wonder whose family you belong to? Do you have an invitation to Prince Jingyu's wedding?"
This made Wen Yanzhao at a loss as to what to do, but fortunately Ye Dingzhi and Baili Dongjun also came over at this time.
When Baili Dongjun heard that Butler Luo wanted an invitation, his head turned and he said:
"Butler Luo, the three of us are fellow students of the young master of Jixia Academy..."
"The one in front of you is Master Zhuo Mo Lei Mengsha, the one holding the long sword is Master Qing Xiang Xie Xuan, and I am Master Qing Ge Luo Xuan!"
The butler rarely left the palace, so naturally he had never seen the real Eighth Young Master of Beili.
After hearing what Baili Dongjun said, and seeing that the three people in front of him all had extraordinary auras, sword-like eyebrows and bright eyes, of course he believed it.
He immediately bowed and said:
"Oh! It turns out that it's the Eighth Young Master of Beili who has come to visit. Please come in quickly..."
"I've long heard from the prince that the Langya King's fellow disciples are all outstanding heroes of the time. Seeing them today, they are indeed extraordinary!"
"You three gentlemen look like you stepped out of a painting!"
Then he invited the three people in...
It turned out that the three of them had arrived a little early. The auspicious time for the wedding was the end of the Si hour that day (around 10:45), and it was only the beginning of the Chen hour (around 7:15).
Neither the in-laws nor the guests showed up, and even the wedding venue hadn't been decorated yet.
The three of them looked at each other, and then at the hospitable palace steward. Wen Yanzhao raised the corner of his mouth and said with a wicked smile:
"How about...we fight for this kiss after we finish the meal?"
