Overlord's Road to Ancient Emperors

This is probably the most special wedding ceremony in history. It is not uncommon for an army to send a wedding, and it is not uncommon for people to send them off, but along the way, people frequently send various gifts in various forms. He actually took off his shoes, took out an ancient coin from the insole, said it was a treasure handed down from his ancestors, and insisted on going to Li Xu to give it to him.

Not to mention how long this thing has been hidden in the shoe, how much smell it has, and the form of this gift is too casual, Li Xu rejected him in person: "Since it is your family heirloom, it should be handed down Give it to your children and grandchildren, the king will not accept it."

He saw that the people chasing on both sides were all holding things in their hands, and some followed the team directly with live animals. For a while, even the sound of beating gongs and drums could not cover up the roar of the animals.

Li Xu made a gesture to stop the team, and the sound of gongs and drums also stopped. He raised his hand and waved to everyone, and shouted loudly: "Fathers and elders, the king is getting married today, and the busy people in the house are on their backs. Your blessings have been received by the king, there is no need to prepare congratulatory gifts, just go to the palace to have a glass of wedding wine, today the king put a big wine vat at the door, everyone has a share, thank you for your blessings."

"My lord, this is the little tiger cub captured by the grass people from the mountain. It is cute and smart. How about giving it to you and the general as a pet?"

Li Xu looked at the half-grown tiger cub in the man's hand, twitched the corners of his mouth, cupped his hands at him, and said, "Thank you brother, but the palace doesn't keep wild animals, you should release them to the forest. "

The man was a little disappointed, but the gift must be given to someone who likes it. Since the prince doesn't like it, he can't force it.

Someone even brought two cranes and wanted to give them to him, saying it had a good meaning. Li Xu thought to himself: I don't open a wild animal park, so I really don't need to rush to give me animals.

"I really don't need to give gifts. Thank you for your kindness. My king has been taken care of by everyone since he came to South Vietnam. I appreciate everyone's kindness. It is the best gift that everyone can send blessings today."

An old man squeezed over, hugged the steed that Li Xu was sitting on, and cried out: "My lord's wedding is a joy, and we all want to send blessings. The gift is just a little thought. If the lord doesn't accept it, he will look down on our gift lightly." ?”

Li Xu frowned. He doesn't like being threatened the most, even if it's for his own good. He was about to speak, when the other party continued: "I have nothing else in this life, only a Lingshi, I want to give it to the prince and General Kou, I hope you two will accept it."

As he spoke, he stretched his hand into his bosom, and the people around stretched their necks to see what the so-called spirit stones looked like. Li Xu wanted to refuse, but he thought: If they are all such difficult old men, it will be fine if they don’t accept them. I have to pay.

Li Xu glanced around, the number of people accompanying them was much larger than their welcoming team, if everyone put in a gift, then their team would definitely not be able to return to the palace before the auspicious time, they shouldn't have stopped just now.

Just when Li Xu was thinking of countermeasures, a voice suddenly shouted in his ear: "Be careful!" He came back to his senses, first saw a flash of light, and then saw the old man scurrying up against the horse's neck in a strange posture, A gleaming dagger in his hand was facing Li Xu's face.

And it was Kou Xiao who reminded him to be careful just now. He kept staring at the old man. At first, he just felt that his behavior was different and his appearance was a little funny. It was impossible to see the piece of something he took out from his arms. When it is a stone, you know you have been fooled.

Li Xu only had time to fall backwards, the man was extremely fast, and the stab was so fast and hard, Li Xu thought he was doomed, but Kou Xiao was faster than the opponent, and one hand grabbed the man with incredible speed. He only held the arm holding the dagger, twisted it hard, and only heard a "click", that arm twisted, but the other party didn't even yell as if he didn't know the pain.

With this step in the way, He Zun, who was behind Li Xu, also came to his senses. He jumped up from his horse and kicked the assassin directly. With all his strength, he kicked the old man away. go out.

The man twisted in mid-air, and landed steadily, but at this time the surrounding Kou family army had surrounded him, and dozens of people surrounded the assassin. In this situation, even the gods could not escape.

But the most troublesome thing at this time is not the assassin, but the people around who are terrified by this scene. Ordinary people have never seen such a scene, and they screamed immediately when they saw the weapon. Subconsciously want to escape from this unsafe environment.

But there were people everywhere around, and there was no way to run. The people who were calm at first were bumped into, and some were even knocked to the ground, screaming endlessly.

Part of the Kou family's army controlled the assassins, and the rest set up a human wall to isolate the messy people from the team.

"This won't work, there are too many people, and stampedes are prone to occur!" Li Xu said worriedly, he really wanted to dig up the eighteen generations of the ancestors who caused the evil.

No one responded to his words, only a red figure leaped high beside him, I don't know how he did it, a leap appeared in front of the assassin, and he didn't even stop, and his foot smashed The opponent's chest was visibly limp and collapsed!

"Don't waste time, procrastinate, just make sure you don't die today!" If it wasn't for his and Li Xu's big wedding today, the kick he just made would directly break his throat.

He mobilized his internal strength and shouted to the surroundings: "Don't move!"

This roar was penetrating enough, and his voice was so recognizable that the people stopped subconsciously, and then someone saw the assassin who was like a corpse, and was even more frightened and put his hands on his head.

How could they forget that General Kou is not King Shun? The halberd will pierce the man's chest!

The scene was too quiet for a while, and there were only panting sounds on the street of thousands of people, and many people were sweating coldly, feeling overwhelmed with fear.

The two Kou family soldiers dragged the half-dead people who were still on the ground and retreated to the side. The rest gathered the team and surrounded Li Xu tightly, fearing that there would be assassins hiding among the people.

Kou Xiao returned to Li Xu's side and asked him in a low voice, "Will you continue walking?"

Li Xu let out a foul breath, stretched out his hand to hold Kou Xiao's hand, and held it with fingers crossed, "Let's go, we can't miss the auspicious time."

He raised his head and said to the people around him: "I've surprised everyone, the old and the weak, women and children should go home first, and those who are brave can follow me to the palace to have a cup of wedding wine. Later, the king will send people door-to-door. wedding cake."

Someone shouted: "Why don't I wait here for a while, and go to the palace after the welcoming team leaves us, so as not to be taken advantage of by the enemy." If no one followed the team, it would be impossible to hide the assassin .

Everyone agreed, nodded one after another, and then stepped aside spontaneously and orderly, so that the team could pass through more smoothly.

Li Xu thanked him, led the people away, and didn't let go of Kou Xiao's hand all the way. It was a lie to say that he was not afraid, but it seemed that Kou Xiao solved the fear before it was full, and all that was left was anger.

He Zun walked to Li Xu's side and whispered, "My lord, this matter must be strictly investigated. Recently, South Vietnam has strictly entered and exited, and assassins have mixed in, which shows that the defense is not tight enough."

"No matter how tight the defense is, there are loopholes. What's more, this person may have lived in Minzhou City all the time. Even if there are no outsiders, the people in this city may be bribed, and it is hard to guard against."

Kou Xiao heard their conversation, his eyes darkened, "A person's trajectory is always traceable, let's have someone check it in the afternoon, and it is really necessary to screen the city again, no matter which force The spies can’t stay anymore, otherwise they will have an opportunity to take advantage of us when we can’t spare any more.”

Li Xu held his hand firmly, and said apologetically, "It's a good wedding, and this kind of thing happened at the very beginning. I'm too confident."

Kou Xiao rolled his eyes at him, put his hand on his mouth and kissed him, fortunately there were no accompanying people at this moment, otherwise he would definitely pass out.

"This kind of thing belongs to the scope of my duties. I have only heard of people who take credit, but I haven't heard of people who take responsibility." Kou Xiao waved his hand, "Speed ​​up, don't delay the auspicious time!"

The team began to trot, and the sound of gongs and drums began to beat again, but it seemed a bit monotonous compared to the lively crowd.

But in front of the palace gate, all of this is not so important, because the guests waiting here are gathered at the gate, waiting eagerly, a vast expanse.

Kou Xiao jumped off the horse first, and then hugged Li Xu. This step was a bit redundant. Li Xu secretly rolled his eyes, knowing that this was caused by his machismo. After all, he was the one who got married today, and he had to get some back. save face.

He leaned into Kou Xiao's ear and asked, "Do you want to carry me in?"

Kou Xiao's ears trembled, he put him on the ground, and then stretched out his hand, but he didn't take Li Xu's hand, but was stuffed with a red hand.

Kou Xiao looked back and saw Liu Shu standing between the two of them with a smile on his face, he gave the other end of his hand to Li Xu, bowed his waist and said, "It's time for the two newcomers to come in and get married. From now on, Please keep quiet and... distance."

Kou Xiao had nothing to say, holding hands with Li Xu alone, he took a steady step, and every step he took, he seemed to be able to see the wonderful changes in the expressions on the faces of the guests in front of him.

They had already been taught in Kou's mansion before, so they were not too surprised. These people were roaring in their hearts: Damn it!what happened?Where is the bride?What about Kou Sanniang?Why is it that the prince and General Kou led the way here?

Those who can come to the palace to drink wedding wine are all people with a head and face, their brains are countless times smarter than ordinary people, and they can figure out the key points after a turn, and then... Then of course they can only greet them with a smile and say a bunch of congratulations.

"Oh, my lord brought the bride... oh no, I brought the groom back. They are truly a pair of lovers, a match made in heaven." The first one to speak was Master Xie. Wang's diehard fan, no matter how shocking things the prince has done, he will praise him.

There are quite a few idiot fans like him. Soon, all kinds of congratulatory words rang out in front of the palace. Li Xu even heard someone shouting "Birth early", and then that person hid his face. He probably regretted it. The intestines are all green.

Liu Shu squeezed in front of Li Xu, opened the way for him, and said loudly: "Thank you, my lords, for your blessings, but the auspicious time is coming, everyone should go to the lobby and wait for the new couple to pay their respects."

"Yes, go in quickly, it will be bad if you miss the auspicious time." But they can't tell what's wrong, anyway, it's two men getting married, so there shouldn't be any rules and etiquette, right?

The meeting hall of the palace was arranged in a very festive manner, there was no high hall sitting at the top, only Liu Shu stood aside to act as the master of ceremonies, and he sang a lot of festive words, abruptly elevating this absurd wedding up grade.

Song Wang was also in the crowd, standing with Ji Hanyu, he frowned and asked his junior brother: "Look at your shocked expression, did you just know about King Shun's actions today?"

Ji Hanyu didn't know how to answer. He remembered that he had made a suggestion to the lord before, but the lord didn't agree at that time, saying that it was unnecessary. He thought it was because the two of them didn't need such an empty ceremony, but it turned out that it was such a high-profile wedding. .

He smiled wryly and said: "It's not considered ignorance, the prince actually didn't hide it, it's just that everyone didn't think about it, but the matter between him and General Kou is well known."

Song Wang is an outsider. He is walking outside these days. No one will reveal this kind of news in front of him at all. What is said inside and outside is that the prince is going to marry the princess. The princess is his beloved and has not yet had a child. Woolen cloth.

Tsk, look at this slap in the face, he glanced at the people around him, and asked inexplicably, "Why don't everyone object? Are South Vietnamese officials so spineless that they dare not stand up and speak out?"

As a former imperial censor, Song Wang is the most daring to speak out, right is right, wrong is wrong, someone should stand up to stop a farce like today.

Ji Hanyu held him back, fearing that he would come forward to disrupt the situation, and hurriedly explained: "Brother, don't worry, you just came, I don't know that these two have already made it half public, everyone in Nanyue knows it, everyone thinks there is nothing wrong, after all, it is the prince. private matter, why should we stop it?"

"Are you kidding? The prince is the son of the emperor, the lord of the fiefdom, and he has only one prostitute under his knees. He wants to marry a man. You guys think it's okay? What about ordinary human relations? What about children and future generations? Don't you care?"

Ji Hanyu smiled sheepishly, "It's nothing to worry about, the lord is such a sensible person, and General Kou is not an impulsive person. They must have thought about it before they dared to go this far. As for the difficulties and obstacles, couldn't they have thought of them? Since The thought of staying together shows that they are all emotional people, and nothing is more important than this."

Song Wang looked confused, feeling that he had come to a different time and space, why did their ideas differ from his own?Is it too narrow?Or was he spoiled by the atmosphere of the capital?Is South Vietnam a place with simple folk customs?

"Eldest brother, I know it's difficult for you to accept it for a while, but I hope you don't object. If you really can't accept it, I will send you to leave South Vietnam another day."

Song Wang took a deep look at him, and snorted coldly: "If you don't accept it, you will leave? Is this how the prince employs people? Hmph, is he so self-willed?"

"No, I'm not afraid that you will complain and have trouble with the prince?"

Song Wang took a step back and looked at the two equally tall figures in the center, who were performing the etiquette of a normal married couple. From his angle, he could see the smiles on their faces. That kind of smile was unfamiliar to him. , but also what he longed for.

"Okay, I'll talk about it tomorrow. I'll listen to the prince before making a decision." Song Wang thought that someone would mock the couple in private, but he pricked up his ears and listened for a long time, and most of what he heard was "So So" "I knew it was going to be like this" "Liar liar" "We're all fools".

He thought to himself: Nanyue's officialdom is really hard to describe!What innocent officials are these!
