Chapter 94

  "I have an engagement here, Xu Lan cannot marry you!"

  Lu Zikai held up a marriage certificate in his hand.

  In this era, getting married involves three matchmakers and six betrothals, with procedures such as asking for the bride's name and presenting gifts being indispensable. If the marriage certificate in Luo Zikun's hand is real, then today's wedding really can't be held.

  "Get out of here!" The groom shouted.

  "Jia Wu, you despicable scoundrel! You pretended to be close to me, but behind my back, you seduced Lan'er. I was wrong to consider a wolf-hearted and dog-lunged person like you as a friend." Ro Zi Kao shouted loudly.

  The groom Jia Wu's face was somewhat unbearable, he shouted: "What are you all doing, come and hit me!"

  Several tall and sturdy house servants rushed out, today's events were a loss of face for the Jia family no matter what. Luo Zikai suddenly pulled out a kitchen knife from his body and shouted loudly: "Whoever dares to come over, one knife will take two lives, I won't live today either."

  Cheng Dalai curled his lips: "For a woman, you're so crazy, it's unbecoming."

  They were so scared that they didn't dare come over once Luo Zi Kai started playing with his life.

  Jia Wu was an officer in the army, skilled in wielding a spear and stick. He snatched the large club from the hands of his family's servants and with just one move knocked Luo Zi Ka to the ground.

  "You also want to play with my life, you're also worthy." Jia Wu had already lost face today, so he might as well lose even more: "It's not my fault, it's yours for not having the ability to keep a woman, running here to cause trouble, someone come and beat him up!"

  "Tsk, this woman is still so arrogant and unrepentant." Cheng Dairen continued to mock.

  A group of family members rushed over and started punching, kicking and beating Luo Zikai, who was no match for them as a bookworm with limited physical strength. Before long, he was beaten to the point of being half dead.

  He hugged his head and ran wildly on the ground, suddenly bumped his head against a table leg.

  "Beat me to death and throw me into the chaotic burial mound outside the city." Today, Jia Wu's temper was defeated, and the anger in his chest was burning. With the status of the Jia family in the city, killing a few people wouldn't be a big deal.

  If it were the former power of the Luo family, it would be different, but now that the Luo family has declined, as the saying goes, a phoenix with its feathers plucked is no better than a chicken.

  Luo Zikai fell to the ground, his eyelids stuck with blood. How much life was left in him was hard to say. He lay on the ground in a daze, his heart as dead as ashes. Even if he died today, it would be just another death.

  "Hello? Hello......"

  In a daze, he felt a hand patting his shoulder, and with great effort, he opened his eyes to see a big face staring back at him.

  "Hey, kid, do you believe in justice?"

  Lu Zikai's mind was a bit unclear, and in his daze, he heard this sentence, which made him pause.

  Cheng Dalai burst out laughing, stood up tall, kicked over the table with one foot, and drew out the sword hanging from his body.

  "Hedgehog Fort is handling this matter, today we're only looking for trouble with the Jia family, all unrelated people quickly retreat!"

  Xu Shenji and Liu Bei also stood up at this moment, pulling out the short knives from their bodies. Although they were not warriors, but after all, they were mountain bandits, and their ferocity in killing people was absolutely superior to that of ordinary people.

  The sound fell to the ground, like a sudden thunder on a calm lake. A group of people shouted and scrambled, some running outwards, others hiding under the table.

  Jia Wu charged at Cheng Da Lei with a large stick, and Cheng Da Lei fought back with his sword for several rounds. However, he was no match for Jia Wu. In terms of skill, the two were not much different, but Cheng Da Lei's weakness lay in his weapon.

  The sword as a weapon is quite good for showing off, but on the real battlefield, it actually has very little killing power.

  Cheng Dali felt a little uneasy in his heart. If he continued to fight like this, he would lose. This first kick had to be effective, or else things would get out of hand later on.

  Just then, a stick flew through the air and landed heavily on Jia Wu's waist. Jia Wu's body tilted to one side, half kneeling on the ground, and Cheng Dalai immediately pressed his sword against his neck.

  "Move it, use your head!"

  Qin Man, Lin Shaoyu, and Zhang Fei also fought their way out from inside. This club was lost by Qin Man. With Qin Man leading the way, no one could stop them. The most eye-catching was Zhang Fei, holding two kitchen knives. Among the three of them, his skills were the weakest, but he shouted the loudest.

  Qin Man came over and with a few quick moves, he tore off Jia Wu's arm guard. Jia Wu's shoulders were dislocated and his arms hung down powerlessly.

  Xu Shenji's knife pressed against Jia Wu's neck, and he shouted loudly: "Kill him! Kill him!"

  "Kill what kill, if you don't leave now, you won't be able to leave." Cheng Dalai kicked Xu Shenji and his gaze fell on the bride beside him.

  Just now it was a big mess, the bride was already trembling with fear, her face still covered with a veil, which could only be lifted by the groom.

  Cheng Dairen's sword easily opened the way for her, and as the red cloth fell, a delicate face was revealed. Trembling with fear, the expression in her eyes was even more captivating.

  "What a beautiful girl!" Cheng Dairen stretched out his big hand and pinched the other's chubby cheeks, leaving a black mark: "Indeed, you're so beautiful, it's no wonder two men fought over you."

  The bride who was as beautiful as a flower and jade was frightened pale, but she didn't dare move.

  "Cheng Dangjia, Cheng Dangjia..." An old man in brocade rushed out from inside: "Cheng Dangjia, we have no grudges with you in the past or present. We beg of you to spare our son's life. What treasure do you need, I will definitely satisfy it."

  "What is called no injustice, I ordered you to disperse all your family's wealth, did you do it? Today, I caught you red-handed while you were forcibly taking a civilian woman!" Cheng Da Lei said: "You also said that if you can't keep your woman, you can only blame yourself for not having the ability. Today, Ben Da Wang wants to take your daughter-in-law, will you agree?"

  "If Master Cheng thinks it's worthy, I'll give it to him. Just spare the child's life."

  "Hmm..."

  Cheng Dalai was speechless, with different worldviews, it's really impossible to communicate. He didn't bother talking nonsense with the old man either, and instead delayed time here, probably arranging people to call the city guards inside.

  "Take it away! Take it away!"

  Dragging Jia Wu, several people left in a hurry. As soon as they left the Jia Mansion, the Jia family's servants rushed out. This matter cannot be taken lightly, so several people took Jia Wu and quickened their pace.

  All the way from the small road out of the city, sleds and horses were hidden in a secluded area outside the city. As long as they got on the sled, the pursuers' speed couldn't keep up with everyone.

  One after another jumped down from the wall, with quite a lot of snow accumulated, and didn't need to worry about getting hurt.

  Cheng Dalai's eyes swept around in a circle, and suddenly froze: "Ma, where is my horse?"

  The place where the horses were originally hidden was empty and desolate, with only scattered horseshoes, without a single horse hair.

  "Master Da, won't you be taken away by passersby?" Xu Shenji asked.

  "This place is basically deserted, did you think I didn't consider that when I hid the horse?" Cheng Dalai was furious: "This is a deliberate move against me!"

  "Bury him on the spot."

  Qin Man struck Jia Wu with a stick and knocked him unconscious, burying him in the snow with only his two feet exposed.

  The city was filled with the sound of shouting and chasing, the pursuers were closing in. But there were no horses, and trying to shake off the pursuers in the snowy terrain was even more difficult than climbing to heaven.

  "Damn it! After spending all day hunting geese, I was pecked in the eye by a domestic sparrow. How dare you come to me and let me know who did it? I won't forgive him!"

  "What's going on now?" Xu Shenji asked.

  Cheng Dalai listened to the approaching pursuers and gritted his teeth: "Into the city!"
