Mo Yanbai never expected that Qi Ning would actually set up the Mo family's ancestral card here. He did not dare to neglect, and immediately walked over and knelt down. When Qi Ning saw him kneeling down, he raised his hand and patted it twice hard, and then he heard the door Mo Yanbai was a little surprised when he heard the sound of footsteps outside. He was about to turn around when he felt three or four people behind him holding him down. Mo Yanbai was shocked when he heard Qi Ning say in a deep voice: "Don't move, let them help you!"
Mo Yanbai didn't have time to think about what was going on, but he felt a few people grabbing his clothes with all their hands. He was horrified. At this time, one person had already ran to him and pulled his belt. By the candlelight in the room, Mo Yanbai However, he saw clearly that this person was his second in charge, Gu Haiqing. Mo Yanbai was surprised and said: "Second brother, what are you doing?"
Gu Haiqing said with a smile on his face: "Brother, don't move. Today is an unusual day. Just let us serve you." He picked up Mo Yanbai and looked around, only to realize that this These people were all his brothers, and he saw several people walking in outside, and one of them turned out to be Qin Yuege.
Qin Yuege has not fully recovered from his injury and walks slowly, but with a smile on his face.
"Brother Mo, the Marquis has arranged this festive event for you today, so just listen to the Marquis' instructions honestly." Qin Yuege came over and said with a smile: "The groom only comes once in his life. Although the wedding is in a hurry, everything should be kept simple. But it can’t be too shabby either.”
At this time, Mo Yanbai finally saw that the two brothers behind him had unfolded a bright red robe, which was the wedding dress of the groom.
Qin Yuege turned around, and a person behind him held a box and handed it to Qin Yuege. Qin Yuege took the box and handed it over, saying with a smile: "Brother Mo, you are a martial arts practitioner. I should have given you a sword. It's just that I am not a rich person, so I cannot afford to give away such expensive things, and today is a happy day, so it is not appropriate to give away those weapons. This is a calligraphy and painting that has been passed down by our Qin family for many years. It is interesting. Let me express my feelings. !" Put the box on the table next to him.
Mo Yanbai was grateful and was about to salute, but Gu Haiqing shouted: "Brother, don't move, open your hands!" The two people standing next to him grabbed Mo Yanbai's arms and asked him to open them. Mo Yanbai couldn't laugh or cry, and several elders The man took off Mo Yanbai's coat and helped him put on the wedding clothes. Gu Haiqing personally helped him tie his belt and said with a smile: "Brother used to eat and drink with us, and even slept with us at night. Together, it won’t be possible from now on.”
Everyone on the side burst into laughter.
Another person came up from behind, holding the box in his hand and said: "Uncle Mo, this is a congratulatory gift sent by General Xin. General Xin is busy with military affairs and cannot come in person today, so I would like to invite Uncle Mo Haihan." Put the gift on the on the table.
As soon as he left, someone came up and said, "Uncle Mo, I came here to congratulate you on the orders of the Governor. The small gift prepared by the Governor is not respectful, so please accept it with a smile!" He also gave the gift. Let it go.
Mo Yanbai was even more surprised.
He knew very well that he had been a bandit at sea before. Although he accepted the recruitment, the court's decree had not yet come down. In fact, he was not pardoned. Even if he was pardoned, he was just an ordinary citizen with no official or salary. Xin Ci The commander of the East China Sea Navy is an imperial general, and Chen Ting is the governor of the East China Sea. These are unattainable figures in the eyes of ordinary people. It really surprised him that these two people could send people to send congratulatory gifts.
He naturally knew that by sending gifts, these two people had given Tian Da face, and they did not come in person, presumably to avoid suspicion.
He understood better that Xin Ci and Chen Ting were certainly not doing it to give him face, but only for Qi Ning's face.
"Brother Mo, today is your wedding day. You must give the bride a gift later." Qi Ning smiled at this time and said: "I know you don't have anything good, so I specially prepared it for you." He took a box, walked over, and delivered it to Mo Yanbai: "When the bride comes out, you can give this gift to her in front of us. She will definitely be very happy when she receives this gift."
Mo Yanbai was not stupid. At this time, he understood everything and knew who the bride was.
More than ten years ago, his family was destroyed and he was alone. He had no relatives in the world. The only thought that kept him alive was to avenge his family. After killing his enemy Shen Liangqiu, Mo Yanbai felt at a loss. , I don’t know what the way forward is.
However, Qi Ning pointed out a new path for him, and with the dignity of a noble marquis, he even arranged his marriage himself. Mo Yanbai was a man with clear grudges, but Qi Ning was so kind, which made him extremely grateful. .
He was a man of the world, so he knew that he could not express his gratitude for such a great favor, so he did not say much. He took the box sent by Qining and bowed slightly without saying a word.
Suddenly I heard a voice from outside: "The bride is here!"
Mo Yanbai immediately turned around and saw a woman wearing a festive red robe and a phoenix crown walking in from the door. A dignified but glamorous woman beside her helped the bride in. , Mo Yanbai recognized that the beautiful woman was Mrs. Tian, and saw Mrs. Tian with a smile on her face, helping the bride into the house, and said with a smile: "Make way for the bride!"
Everyone immediately divided into two sides. Mrs. Tian sent the bride directly to Mo Yanbai, smiled at Mo Yanbai and said: "From now on, you must treat her well. The Marquis said, if you let Miss Qi suffer... If he feels wronged, he will come back to settle the accounts with you personally!"
"Qi... Miss Qi?" Mo Yanbai was startled.
Qi Ning came over and said with a smile: "I have recognized Miss Tingxiang as my god-sister, and Miss Tingxiang is willing to have the same surname as me. From now on, there will no longer be Miss Tingxiang, but Miss Qichunqi."
Everyone around was shocked when they heard this.
Qin Yuege was so smart that he understood it instantly and said with a smile: "Brother Mo, Miss Qi is Jin Yihou's god-sister, and she is more than worthy of you. Let me see if you have the courage to make the Marquis's sister suffer in the future!"
Mo Yanbai was extremely grateful.
Of course he knew what Qi Ning meant. Tingxiang came from a brothel. In the eyes of the world, her status was extremely humble, but Qi Ning accepted her as his god-sister. In this way, as the god-sister of Jin Yihou, her status was of course different. Just like Qin Yuege said that Jin Yihou's god-sister was more than good enough for him, Mo Yanbai.
And Mo Yanbai knew another layer of Qining's deeper meaning. Even Jin Yihou did not despise Tingxiang's background and accepted him as his god-sister. Who would dare to laugh at him in the future, Mo Yanbai, for marrying a brothel girl
Mo Yanbai took a deep breath. He had been at sea for many years and was a casual man. He stepped forward and said, "Chun'er, Brother Mo will take good care of you for the rest of his life and will never let you be wronged again." .”
"Brother Mo, I... I have been waiting for you...!" Qi Chun's voice was trembling and crying. Everyone present knew that Qi Chun was naturally crying with excitement.
Mo Yanbai felt in his heart that the last time he separated from Qi Chun, he had the thought of never returning. He didn't know if we could meet again in this life, but when he didn't want to meet again, it was already at this wedding. Above, things are changing. Mo Yanbai wanted to go up and hug Qi Chun, but Qi Ning coughed and said loudly: "Don't be impatient, the bridegroom. The ceremony has not been completed yet, why are you so impatient?"
Everyone around suddenly burst into laughter.
Mo Yanbai was also a little embarrassed and laughed. Mrs. Tian led the two of them over. Surrounded by everyone, they simply completed the etiquette. After the two stood up, Mo Yanbai gave the box that Qining gave to him. Opening it, there was a bright luminous pearl inside, which was worth a lot of money at first glance. Mo Yanbai closed the box and sent the luminous pearl to Qi Chun. Everyone suddenly shouted, and Mrs. Tian was about to lead the two of them there. In the bridal chamber, they heard footsteps coming from outside. Everyone looked to follow the sound, but only saw Wu Dalin running towards him.
Seeing this, Qin Ning stepped forward to greet him. Qin Yuege knew that Wu Dalin was Qin Ning's bodyguard. He came suddenly at this time, and something big must have happened. Wu Dalin stepped forward, cupped his hands and said, "Master Hou, there is an urgent report!"
"What's the matter?"
"General Xin sent someone to deliver the news." Wu Dalin said: "Jiang Yishui's fleet returned to Haifeng Island at midnight the day before yesterday, and was caught by an ambush. All six cargo ships led by Jiang Yishui were captured. Most of the people on board were not alive. After the battle, Jiang Yishui tried to take advantage of the chaos to escape, but was killed by random arrows. His head was sent to the navy camp. A total of 327 people were captured in this battle, and 104 enemy heads were beheaded. They escaped at night. There are more than ten people, but it has nothing to do with the overall situation.”
Everyone thought it was some bad news at first, but when they heard Wu Dalin's report, they all cheered. Mo Yanbai was pleasantly surprised and said: "The Marquis is extremely resourceful. This move to lure you into the urn is really exquisite."
Qi Ning also let out a long breath, feeling relaxed all over his body. He looked up at the bright moon that had risen in the sky and murmured: "The battle in the East China Sea can be regarded as a complete victory today."
"Master Marquis, today is truly a double happiness." Wu Dalin said with a smile: "Not only is the good news coming from the sea, but it is also a happy day for Brother Mo."
Qining laughed and said, "That's right, there's enough wedding wine for today. It's not only brother Mo's wedding wine, but also the celebration wine for this battle. Come on, come on, send the bride into the bridal chamber, and the groom will come out quickly to drink with us."
Everyone cheered again, and then Mrs. Tian led the newlyweds to the wedding room that had been prepared long ago, while the others went to the room on the side. The wedding banquet had also been prepared there, and someone would order the wedding banquet. All the lights were on, the house was brightly lit, and the atmosphere was festive. Everyone present, regardless of their status, all sat down at the table. Qining was a person with no airs, and he was in an indescribable mood today. Everyone came and went, drinking and drinking. , but they are all very happy.
In fact, Qining has always been worried that Jiang Yishui is smarter than he thought and will not fall into traps easily. As long as Jiang Yishui does not fall into the trap, he will have six cargo ships in his hands. Once he cruises on the route to Nanyang in the future, he will have a new understanding of the next step. The opening of Nanyang trade has posed a huge threat. Now that Jiang Yishui has been arrested and killed, the obstacles he was worried about have been completely eliminated.
