"The Red Sedan Bridge is ahead."

Jiang Xianyu said something but did not order a rest.

Because the strange bride of Hongjiao Bridge only chooses one man, the others will be fine. They don't have to fight, nor do they have to waste energy, so there is no need to rest.

The men in the team grabbed the mud on the ground and smeared it on their faces and bodies. Some even picked up horse manure and smeared it on themselves. The whole team suddenly stunk.

"This is?"

Xu Lian felt confused.

Xiao said playfully with a smile, "I'm pretending to be ugly, so I don't want the tricky bride to notice me."

Xu Lian asked, "Is it useful?"

Xiao Xixi shook his head, "It's actually useless, I just want to seek comfort."

Seeing that every man was covered in dirt and smell, even Zhou Xin who always loved cleanliness was like this, Xu Lian thought about it and smeared some mud on himself as well. No matter if it worked or not, he would just follow suit. Otherwise, he would be the only clean man and it would be too conspicuous.

The team moved forward dully, every man tensed up, praying in his heart not to be noticed by the evil bride.

Walked more than ten miles.

Xu Lian saw an ancient stone bridge. Some parts were damaged, some were covered with cracks, and the bridge was covered with vines. It was unknown how many years old it was.

Under the stone bridge, there was only a dry riverbed, without any water at all.

At first glance, there is a desolate feeling.

Jiang Xianyu, who was walking at the front of the team, stopped. He did not cross the bridge or step onto the bridge, as if he was following some kind of rule.

One carriage after another also stopped.

Xu Lian and Xiao Xixi, who were at the end of the team, had to stop and wait.

After a while.

Red petals came from somewhere and flew all over the sky.

Hearing the sound of water splashing, Xu Lian looked towards the riverbed under the bridge. His scalp numbed at the sight. He saw a large amount of blood and water rushing in from upstream and flooding to the edge of the bridge. It was a horrific scene.

Suddenly, a gorgeous red sedan chair appeared from the valley not far away. Eight maids in festive clothes were holding lanterns, covering their mouths with their hands and laughing as they walked towards the crowd.

Everyone was silent.

The men's scalps were tingling, their faces were stiff, and they looked down at the ground, trying their best not to attract the attention of the strange bride.

soon.

The red sedan chair and eight maids swayed across the stone bridge and stopped in front of the crowd.

"Our young lady has reached the age of marriage, but she has not found a suitable husband yet. It is rare that so many men pass by today. It is just the right time to find a suitable man for our young lady."

"Are you interested in our young lady?"...

The eight maids asked while laughing.

All the men in the team responded in unison, "Yes!"

Anyone who dares to say that he has no intention... will violate the rules here and will be wiped out immediately.

"Miss, they are all interested in you, come out and pick one."

"Our young lady is so naturally beautiful, every man who passes by says he is interested in her."...

The eight maids giggled.

Everyone was silent, cursing in their hearts, why did you say "intentional", don't you have any idea, you cunning guys.

The curtain of the red sedan was slowly lifted, and a small foot in red embroidered shoes stepped out, followed by another one.

I saw a person covered with a red veil coming out of the red sedan chair. This was undoubtedly the evil bride.

The strange bride walked gently, passing by each man.

The men all lowered their heads, as still as quails.

The strange bride walked up to Old Yuntou and stopped. Old Yuntou trembled all over and his face turned pale with fear, for fear that he would be chosen.

"Such an old man is interested in me. That's a nice thought."

The strange bride said with disdain, her voice full of charm.

Old Yuntou breathed a sigh of relief, smiled and bowed quickly, "Miss is right... I have had improper thoughts about you, which is really a sin."

The strange bride snorted coldly, walked towards the next man, stretched out her pale hand, and touched the man's face.

The man was also trembling with fear.

Fortunately, the strange bride did not stop and moved on to the next one.

When the strange bride came to Xu Lian, she stopped.

This made Jiang Xianyu and Xiao Xixi change their expressions. Of course, they didn't want the strange bride to choose Xu Lian.

The spooky bride sniffed Xu Lian's face and body with great interest, and then fanned him in disdain, "You are so young but you have quite a lot of strength, which is barely worthy of me, but you have too much feminine smell on you, and you look like a playboy, which really makes me feel embarrassed."

Can you smell this

Xu Lian sniffed. Why couldn’t he smell it

The strange bride circled around him a few times, seemingly hesitating whether to choose him as her groom.

But don’t... Xu Lian was extremely unwilling.

After much consideration, the strange bride gave up and walked towards the next man.

that's all.

She walked over one by one.

When she came to Zhou Xin, she stopped walking. "You are young, you have good strength, and you are not too feminine. You are a perfect match for me. I'll choose you."

Zhou Xin's face was grim and his whole body was trembling. It was obvious that he was about to collapse.

All the men in the team breathed a sigh of relief and smiled. The evil bride had chosen Zhou Xin, which meant she would not choose them.

After being happy, they couldn't help but look at Zhou Xin with pity. He failed to get Jiang Xianyu's marriage fortune at Guitong Ridge, and was even chosen by the strange bride at Hongjiao Bridge. This young man was really miserable.

"Congratulations, young lady, on finding your ideal husband."

"Hello, uncle."...

The eight maids were all smiling happily.

Seeing Zhou Xin's pitiful look, everyone couldn't bear to look at him and turned their eyes away.

Old Yuntou took out a jade bottle and threw it to Zhou Xin with a smile, "Young Master Zhou, take it. I hope you can survive three days and three nights. If you really can't make it, I will have to go to your Zhou family to get the spirit stones for this bottle of Spring Breeze Pill. Everyone, be my witness."

Zhou Xin caught it subconsciously, and wanted to throw it away in anger, but on second thought, he put it away quietly... It's better to be prepared.

The strange bride got on the red sedan chair and left surrounded by eight maids.

Zhou Xin followed with stiff steps, looking back every few steps, as if he was nostalgic for the beauty of this world.

Watching the red sedan chair and Zhou Xin disappear into the valley, Xu Lian sighed, "The wind is whistling and the Yi River is cold. The warrior will never come back once he leaves."

Old Yuntou said with a smile, "Mr. Zhou may not die."

"Is there any chance of survival?"

Xu Lian was curious.

Lao Yuntou said, "Based on past experience, for every ten people chosen by the Trickster Bride, about one or two can come back alive. Young Master Zhou is young and capable, so he may still make it."

The team did not stop for long, Jiang Xianyu ordered them to continue on their journey.

After crossing the Hongjiao Bridge, a few days later, the terrain began to become noticeably flatter.

Jiang Xianyu took out a flag and stuck it on the front carriage.

Xu Lian noticed that there was a word "Jiang" on the flag, "Is this the Jiang family's banner?"

Xiao said jokingly, "Yuanfu County is in chaos, with all sorts of forces intertwined and demons and monsters running rampant. Although the Jiang family's banner may not be able to completely guarantee safety, it will at least make people more cautious and reduce unnecessary trouble."
