The fallen trees in the imperial city are pale and yellow.
The bright red cloth was pulled from the corner to the end of the street, and red firebirds and kites took off in the autumn wind and flew into the sky. In major stores, red lanterns are woven all night long, with exquisite and festive paintings. When the night gets late, it will be a scene of thousands of lanterns rising into the sky.
Lu Marry stood on the top of the palace and looked into the distance, and couldn't help but recall the scene when a sword illuminated half of the city in the autumn rain.
At that time, Lord Xueyu was making noise at the top of the city, and the old fox was peeking at the bottom of the city.
Everything is still the same as yesterday...
It was the eve of Zhao Xiang'er's wedding banquet, and the sun was shining brightly. The clouds in the sky are like long fishes, and the shadows of autumn geese are far away in the clouds. Looking around, the prosperity here is still new. They are built in the high city wall, and the flags on the city wall stand upright, with the word "Zhao" and the fire sparrow flying in the wind.
The person she loved was going to marry someone else, and she always felt that she should be angry, even if it was just a pretense. But now when she looked at the tower, she felt that she would always remember such beauty.
The autumn wind caressed the imperial city for the last time.
The calendar blows past today, and the winter solstice is coming.
This is destined to be a rich and colorful page.
The sound of gongs and drums sounded in the distance. Ning Changjiu and Zhao Xiang'er must be hiding somewhere talking about something at the moment. She couldn't help but laugh when she thought that the arrogant and proud girl was also anxious and worried.
This is a flower that will not wither in autumn.
That's what she thought.
…
…
"Do you still remember? When we were in Fengdu, Madam Bai built the Kingdom of God. We worshiped each other together on Jiuyu's back." Ning Changjiu said.
Zhao Xiang'er rubbed his head and said slightly painfully: "I can't remember clearly... My memory has always been bad recently."
Ning Changjiu and her sat on both sides of the desk, looking at each other, with a copper stove burning incense separated in the middle.
Ning Jiujiu remembered a certain folk saying and laughed.
Zhao Xiang'er felt that he was laughing at her and said angrily: "Why are you laughing?"
Ning looked at the incense for a long time, changed the topic, and said, "Is this an incense more expensive than me?"
This was the conversation they had on the fishing boat earlier.
Zhao Xianger said: "Why do you remember everything?"
Ning Jiujiu said: "Isn't this an imperial edict?"
"You have been expelled..."
"Aren't you going to bring your wife back?"
"you… "
“…”
Zhao Xiang'er held her chin in her hands and supported her face. When she thought about wearing a red wedding dress today, in front of everyone, shyly worshiping him like a little lady, and getting married, she felt ashamed, as if she had been created in the past. It's as if the majestic image has completely collapsed today.
"The surname is Ning!" Zhao Xianger said.
"Um?"
"I want to run away from marriage..." Zhao Xiang'er lay on the table, looking at the smoke rising and dispersing freely, feeling envious.
Ning Jiujiu said: "Just run away. Anyway, your mother is blocking you."
Zhao Xianger was slightly startled, and then felt even sadder.
"Don't you have the authority over that time?" Zhao Xiang'er had another sudden thought.
"What's wrong?"
"While you're waiting for worship, hurry up..."
“…”
This was the anxiety she felt before getting married. Many women would be like this to some extent on this day. She was obviously extraordinary, but she was still unable to escape the commonplace, which made her even more anxious.
The sun gradually rises and time passes.
The palace has been decorated.
She is an unprecedented empress in the Zhao Kingdom, so this is also an unprecedented wedding in the Zhao Kingdom.
The ministers in the court repeatedly praised His Highness for announcing the matter today because he must be afraid of extravagance and waste. But Song Tie and the female personal officers knew better—they knew that His Highness was leaving today.
Whether Zhao Guo can prosper tomorrow is still a mystery.
Nowadays, the treasury is very sufficient, so even if you meet a diligent and thrifty female emperor, the extravagance is still very scary.
It's just that the emperor seems to be too diligent and thrifty. When they were decorating the wedding venue, Zhao Xiang'er's female officials kept sending messages, saying that they would cut the red carpet in half... and then cut it in half again. They praised His Majesty for his integrity and caring for the people, but they didn't know that she really just wanted to leave less time. Some roads.
"After I leave, you have to treat Lu Marion well." Zhao Xianger suddenly said: "If you dare to bully her, I will beat you to death next time we meet..."
Ning Jiujiu looked at the girl who was about to be driven crazy by the wedding banquet, and asked tentatively: "Your Highness, are you... playing hard to get?"
Zhao Xiang'er looked at him talking about the art of war and wished he could summon a hundred thousand cavalry to run over this hateful face...
Ning Jiujiu stood up with a smile, combed her hair, picked out hair accessories, put a bronze mirror in front of her and made faces for her to make her happy.
Zhao Xiang'er knew that he was considerate and hardworking, but she couldn't laugh.
Vaguely, she had a strange, unexplained bad feeling.
"That's right." Zhao Xiang'er covered the bronze mirror with her hands so as not to see him.
"What's wrong?"
"When the time comes, I want to wear a killer suit under my wedding dress..."
"ah?"
"Well, otherwise I wouldn't feel safe."
"I am your killer suit."
“…”
Zhao Xiang'er let go of the bronze mirror and looked at Ning Changjiu's open hand towards her with a blank expression.
…
In the afternoon, at the highest place in the palace, Lu Marian and the soon-to-be newlyweds watched the sun slowly move.
Zhao Xiang'er leaned on Lu Marian's shoulder, looking calm, as if they were the newlyweds about to get married.
"Sister Marry, look, there are two Marries in your name, does it mean that the two of us are going to marry together..." Zhao Xianger's mind was particularly strange today.
Lu Marry looked at the girl who was gradually becoming stupid with some compassion and said: "I am the leader of the Sword Sect, and you are the empress of the Zhao Kingdom. If we marry together, I am afraid that your people and my disciples will not be able to accept it. I'm afraid this will make the world talk about it for decades."
Zhao Xiang'er said calmly: "It doesn't matter, I'm leaving today anyway, and you will be the only one to lose the shame in the future."
Hmm... It seems that I haven't become stupid...
Lu Marian pushed her away from his shoulder.
Zhao Xiang'er leaned on Ning Changjiu's shoulder.
Lu Marian stared at this scene for a while, feeling it was not pleasing to her eyes, so she pulled the girl over again.
Time finally came to night.
Zhao Xianger looked at the setting sun on the horizon, stretched out her hand, pointed at the clouds dyed red by the sunset, and said slowly: "That one looks like a bird."
"That one looks like a dragon."
"That... looks like a coral fish."
"That one looks like a mountain."
"That Chen Kee glutinous rice dumpling looks like the sesame seeds flowed out after taking half a bite."
"that… "
Zhao Xianger slowly withdrew her hand.
The clouds in the sky faded away.
Night finally arrived.
The imperial city has exploded, and they are noisily looking for traces of His Majesty, but they don't know that His Majesty is looking at the dim sky in a daze, wondering why there are no clouds.
Lu married Ning Jiujiu and winked. Ning Chang responded with a "Are you sure?" look. Lu Marry nodded casually, then looked away.
Ning looked at Zhao Xiang'er's profile for a long time, moved closer, and kissed her boldly.
"ah!"
Zhao Xiang'er was like a roly-poly who had let go of his hands. He sat upright all of a sudden, raised his head and raised his chest, a little surprised.
Ning Changjiu kissed her lips again.
Zhao Xiang'er turned around in panic, touched her lips, looked at the figure in snow clothes with her back to her, rubbed her hot face, and suddenly woke up.
"You... what are you doing... she..." Zhao Xianger was a little at a loss.
Ning Changjiu smiled and helped her pull a lock of hair.
"We're getting married," he said.
"Yeah, what are you waiting for? They are all looking for you." Lu Marianjian also stood up, looked at the noisy imperial city, and said with a smile.
"Yeah!" The girl's pupils regained their brightness.
…
…
Zhao Xiang'er put on a fiery red wedding dress, wore a hijab with pearls and jade pendants, and stepped on the red down carpet.
She walked very slowly, a little reserved and reserved.
She couldn't even remember how she was dressed up by the palace maids. In short, she finally put a red hijab on her head and came. Now she and Ning Changjiu were holding a ribbon with a big red peony flower and slowly walked forward.
It was very lively around.
She could kill a ferocious monster without blinking an eye, but it was always difficult for her to face this kind of problem calmly.
The word "marriage" did not appear in her life in the past. Even a few days ago, she still replaced it with the idea of "willing to accept defeat."
The embroidered shoes walked across the red carpet, and every step was so gentle and slow.
At some point, her hand was held.
It was Ning Jiujiu's hand, which was a little warm.
She felt slightly reassured.
At this moment, if she lifts the hijab and looks back, she can see hundreds of lanterns slowly flying into the sky in the autumn wind.
They came one after another, like a long dragon or a flying goose.
The whole city seemed to be flying with the lanterns.
Lu Marian watched the newlyweds walk into the hall, never understanding what role she was playing. Alas, it seemed that it was better to drink in Baicheng... She suddenly felt that being gentle and kind was no good, and it was better to be a bad woman and be more comfortable.
If I were a bad woman, I would think that today's wedding banquet would be extremely lively.
Ning Changjiu and Zhao Xianger walked along the long red carpet under the gaze of everyone, and walked into the hall at the end together.
There was a sound of water in the main hall, the lights were bright, and the paper paintings on the walls were reflected brilliantly. There are no too gorgeous decorations here. If it weren't for the big 囍 characters on the walls, this place would even look quiet.
On the crystal lamppost, the red shadow of the wedding dress flashed across.
"Don't be afraid." Ning Chang held her hand and said softly.
"Who's scared?" Zhao Xianger held on tighter.
Having said that, she now wishes for an old monster to attack the city and interrupt the wedding banquet. Then she can tear off her wedding dress, take her sword out of the city, and kill in darkness... It's a pity that the country and the people are too peaceful now, and they are killed every year. After recruiting the little devil, he memorized it in several booklets.
Ning Jiujiu said: "We are married to a clear matchmaker."
Zhao Xiang'er said: "I think you have a guilty conscience!"
The two of them gathered their voices in the hall of the Holy Land and started chatting.
"Your hand doesn't shake when you hold the sword. What are you afraid of now?"
"It's obviously you who's shaking."
"you're lying… "
“It’s the puppies that lie.”
“…”
Ning held her hand for a long time and stopped at the end of the hall. The parents of both parties were supposed to be sitting in front, but there was no one at the moment.
The female officer has already begun to say her congratulations.
Zhao Xiang'er felt a little irritated.
She even began to doubt herself.
The sound of fireworks exploding behind her was already heard. The sky above the imperial city should be bright and beautiful. She could see it when she opened her consciousness, but she did nothing and just stood quietly.
Suddenly, the divinity in her body seemed to surge out, and she felt that everything was so void... Was this a sign that Suzaku was coming...
She was lost in thought and had no idea what the female officer said.
"Send me a promise." Ning Jiujiu suddenly said.
"Huh?" Zhao Xianger was slightly startled.
Ning Jiujiu repeated it again: "Send a promise."
Zhao Xiang'er took a deep breath and said calmly: "It refers to the alliance between lovers."
Her thoughts were pulled back, and her divinity gradually retreated into her body.
"Your Highness, long."
"Hmm?" The words didn't seem right, but Zhao Xianger continued: "Let's get married together."
These were the words in their marriage contract. They shouted about breaking off the engagement every day, but in fact they remembered it by heart.
"It means each other's pledge of faith." Ning Changjiu said.
"Together we have the divine bird and jade toad."
The marriage letter was like a spell to purify the heart. Zhao Xiang'er no longer felt irritable at all, but recalled many beautiful things in the past, and the corners of her lips under the red hijab slightly curled up.
"The red rope is tied early, and the beautiful candle is cut." Ning Jiujiu said gently.
"Black hair and white head, great road and companionship." Zhao Xiang'er's words gradually became firmer.
"May the couple be a perfect match." Ning Jiujiu suddenly said, startling the female officer.
Zhao Xiang'er also spoke slowly: "We will always be united..."
After they finished speaking, they held hands and gently knelt on the ground.
The first worship is heaven and earth.
They knocked down gently.
A perfect match, forever united... What... The female officer slowly came back to her senses, breathed a sigh of relief, looked at the beautiful woman kneeling on the ground, and said loudly: "Second bow to the high hall."
Neither of them moved.
The female officer was startled again, but then she thought about it and thought it was because there was no Gao Tang on the stage.
In fact, they just think that for them, the high hall and the heaven and earth are the same existence. They have already prayed the first time, and there is no need to do it again.
Fortunately, this female official had been serving Zhao Xiang'er for a long time and was not too panicked. After waiting for a while, she calmly said: "Husband and wife bow to each other."
Ning Changjiu and Zhao Xiang'er turned around and knocked down gently.
"May the two be a perfect match."
"To tie the knot… "
Their hands were clasped together.
At this moment, there was a commotion outside the imperial city, and all the lanterns rising up in the night sky looked like a dream. Long dragon-like carriages and horses also galloped through the square of the palace carrying fireworks. Bundles of fireworks roared into the sky. They tore through the night, like seeds, greedily absorbing everything in the night, and then exchanged it for a moment of youth. .
Fireworks are like day.
This is the city that never sleeps.
It is also the grandest night in the imperial city.
This is a day that will be talked about for many years to come.
No one could imagine Her Majesty the Empress getting married or having a bridal chamber, but on this day, this scene really happened. Even the most staid ministers talked happily with others in a tone of praise.
This is intoxicating wine and a frenzied tide.
The crest of the wave lifted them.
Zhao Xiang'er was a girl after all, and her mind was also aroused at this moment. Suddenly, she gently lifted a corner of her red hijab.
The beautiful contours of her cheeks contrast with the redness and fire of her wedding dress.
She looked up at Ning Changjiu and smiled sweetly: "How about we try to defy fate tonight?"
These words are the most brilliant fireworks in the night sky.
Ning Jiujiu was also ignited. He looked into her gentle eyes, leaned down and picked up her legs, and hugged the girl.
Zhao Xiang'er didn't struggle at all.
Just like the heavy rain that day. They ran wildly and rushed into the palace.
But this time it was so gentle.
Tonight they are the newlyweds who are being blessed by the whole city.
…
"You said... will I regret it in the future?"
"Xian'er is so rebellious, I'm also worried about you."
"Look, the sky is full of fireworks, and so are we. They have to bloom anyway, so why not bloom the most beautifully... I am also very curious whether every one of my mother's words can come true."
"but… "
"You want to resist the decree?"
"My husband obeys the decree..."
They talked and laughed under the fireworks.
I don't know if they will regret it later.
At this moment, Ning Jiujiu held her like this.
They walked gently into the good night.
…
…
The splendor of the imperial city is like a dream.
Outside the dream, a sword made of wind and snow hovered in the air.
The girl on the snow sword looked at the night sky with a carefree expression.
"Married?" Xue Yuan confirmed the scene in front of her again and again, a look of disbelief flashed in her eyes.
How can my mother's daughter get married
Although Shi Yu was defeated by me, he is still respectable. What does it mean for you to be married now
Xueyuan traveled day and night and spent nearly a month to get here. When she saw this festive city, she even thought she was in the wrong place.
"Fire Phoenix...you disappoint me so much!"
Xueyuan sighed softly.
Under her feet, the ice and snow blade was as sharp as hair, and the snow at the edge was blown away, revealing the sharp blade.
Nanzhou is no better than China.
Here, Ziting Peak is already almost invincible in the world.
She can be more unrestrained than in the Kingdom of Thunder.
Even if they penetrate the city-state, they will not hesitate.
The snow sword pushed towards Zhao Guo's dazzling imperial city.
"etc!"
The void opened, and the white cat jumped onto her shoulder and stopped her.
"What's wrong?" Xue Yuan's voice was filled with respect.
The white cat stared at the city with its blue eyes, and said in a cold voice: "There is a ghost in this city."
Xueyuan frowned slightly: "Ghost? Just kill it."
The white cat said: "If you step on it, even I may not be able to save you."
Xueyuan was not impulsive. She believed the white cat's words unconditionally: "I understand."
What kind of tricks can this girl who has devoted herself to sex have? At most, her mother would favor her more.
Xueyuan thought like this and stretched out her index finger towards the dark night.
…
In the imperial city, Lu Jianxin suddenly sounded the alarm.
She raised her head and narrowed her eyes instantly.
A piece of snow suddenly fell among the fireworks.
The piece of snow stretched its crystal clear body in the firelight, and rolled colorfully in the hexagonal crystal color. It fell down lightly, as if it had strayed into the world.
Cold followed.
Under the moonlight, it seemed that mist had filled the air and occupied the entire imperial city.
She looked in a certain direction outside the imperial city.
On top of the huge snow sword, Snow Kite sat cross-legged, waiting for Fire Phoenix to find out, and then kill her on the night when she was supposed to be in the bridal chamber with candles.
She waited calmly. Because she knew that if she didn't take the initiative to enter the city, it would take time for Fire Phoenix to notice it.
But after just one breath, Xue Yuan's pupils suddenly shrank.
In the sky, when all the heavy snow condensed by ice clouds first fell, they were gathered and rolled back by a wall of sword energy.
That was the wind and snow she created, but now they have all turned into other people's swords.
All the chill turned into pure sword intent.
That sword cut through the sky filled with fireworks and the cold, dark night. Oncoming.
Xueyuan has never seen such pure sword intent.
There was a fire in her heart.
The girl stretched out her hand, and the snow sword surged like a huge boat across the river.
Wow!
The collision between the two happened in an instant.
The wind and snow exploded densely, swallowing their figures instantly.
A sword cry sounded in Xueyuan's ears.
There was also the faint sound of birdsong among the sound of the sword... That kind of birdcall actually made the snow kite on the shoulder frighten.
This snowy kite is the divine bird of the North. Among all the divine birds today, it can even be ranked alongside the thunderbird and the fire phoenix. Besides Suzaku, to whom does it need to bow
Xueyuan couldn't understand.
The next moment, something happened that she didn't understand even more.
After the swords of both sides collided, the huge impact was pushed towards them.
All her sword energy was assimilated by the opponent, turning into unstoppable sharp blades, which instead rolled back towards her.
After a moment of confrontation, Xue Yuan's figure was forced to retreat dozens of feet.
At her feet, the sword named Hanque exploded and turned into a real divine bird. It stood in front of her like a shield and finally neutralized the opponent's subsequent sword moves.
The snowy kite hung in the air, reaching out to scatter the blinding snowflakes.
She narrowed her eyes and looked at the girl who was also hanging above the imperial city.
When she first looked at it, she felt that the other person's figure was very similar to the mysterious woman who could control time a month ago, and her mind couldn't help but freeze.
The woman in front of her has dark hair and white robes, and her figure is extremely beautiful. Her shadow in the night sky looks like a standing sword.
"You are not Fire Phoenix..." Xue Yuan judged her identity: "Who are you?"
Lu Marry looked at her as well.
Her sword spirit body has now been hammered to an almost terrifying level.
This was different from her long-lasting fight with Ning. This was the first time she had used a sword after her sword body was fully developed.
The opponent's sword was instantly assimilated into her own.
The same is true for the opponent's sword energy.
The enemy's blades are all his own daggers.
How to fight this battle
Xue Yuan's eyes flashed as she felt the pure sword intent on her body.
This woman's strength is definitely not inferior to Shi Yu...
"Who are you?" Lu Married asked coldly.
Xue Yuan said, "I'm here to look for Huo Feng. Who are you?"
"Fire Phoenix?" Lu Jianjiao was slightly startled and asked, "Zhao Xiang'er?"
Xueyuan said: "It turns out her name is Zhao Xianger..."
"What is her relationship with you?" Xue Yuan asked again.
Lu Marry said angrily: "Love rival."
Xueyuan's expression softened slightly: "It seems that we are friends."
Lu Marian asked: "Are you here to kill her?"
Xue Yuan nodded and said, "Yes."
Lu Marry looked at her quietly.
The next moment, the night clouds, city towers, fireworks, everything was covered with a faint sword intent.
But when Xueyuan was briefly distracted, a staggered sword field had already been established, like a crystal lotus blooming in the night sky.
Lu Marry held behind her back with one hand and held it empty with the other.
There was no sword in her hand, but she seemed to be holding a peerless sword.
Xue Yuan was convinced that she was only in the Purple Court Realm, so she was even more surprised by the power she exerted.
Another unreasonable peak of Ziting
When she was fighting Shi Yu, they were actually evenly matched until the final moment. Killing her mainly depends on the favor of gods...
Now, Xue Yuan is more determined in her thoughts.
She wanted to kill the woman named Zhao Xianger before returning to the Kingdom of God!
Although the woman in front of her is powerful, Zi Ting is just Zi Ting after all.
"Don't take action yet, let me get to know her properly." Xue Yuan said to the white cat hidden in the void with her heart.
She was going to use this woman as a whetstone!
The girl took off her mink fur coat and threw it away.
There was only an ice silk skirt left on her body.
There is fluorescent light under the skirt.
That is the tattoo of the Snow Kite Divine Bird.
