Crossing the Sword

Just when Ye Shisan didn't know how to answer, he heard Ding Feng say, "Why are you guys just chatting? Brother-in-law, please teach me martial arts!"

When Ding Xiang heard this, her eyes immediately turned red and she said coquettishly, "Xiao Feng, don't talk nonsense!" Ye Shisan also echoed, "When did I become your brother-in-law? Don't call me that!" After she said that, she felt something was wrong and kept silent.

Ding Feng said nonchalantly: "Aren't you going to get married in a few days? I'll call you in advance so that you don't forget to change your mind when the time comes."

Ye Shisan hurriedly explained: "Isn't that fake? It's just a strategy to deal with the monster."

"Shh." Ding Feng put his right index finger to his lips, made a gesture to keep quiet, and whispered mysteriously: "Didn't Dad tell you? Don't make this public."

Ye Shisan was completely speechless this time, with an expression that showed he was defeated by you, and he replied helplessly: "I surrender to you!"

"Xiao Feng!" Ding Xiang said angrily, "You actually made fun of your sister. I will ignore you." After saying that, she turned around and left with a red face.

Watching Ding Xiang's disappearing back, Ye Shisan casually said, "Xiao Feng, I have a question for you." Neither Ding Yuan nor Ding Xiang wanted to talk about their family's difficulties, so it seemed that they could only find a breakthrough from Xiao Feng.

Ding Feng answered quietly, "My sister was targeted by the son of the current governor of Guizhou. He once tried to steal my sister away, but I beat him away. Later, he found a few masters. I couldn't beat them, but after they heard about the monster, they were scared away again."

Ye Shisan smiled and said, "It seems that you are really smart. You can actually guess what I am going to ask."

Ding Feng did not seem proud, and there was some distress in his eyes. He replied: "Actually, I also wanted to find an opportunity to talk about this matter with Brother Ye, but my father and sister wouldn't let me. So as soon as you asked, I knew it was this matter. It's not that I'm smart." No wonder, no one would be proud when talking about this kind of thing.

Ye Shisan nodded, thought for a moment and asked again: "If that's the case, why didn't your father and sister say it? They know I'm from Shangdang, so it's possible that they are able to help you."

Ding Feng shook his head and said, "Of course it's not just that. The prefect and the wife of the eldest son of the Marquis of Qinglong are sisters. Even in Shangdang, I'm afraid few people dare to mess with such people." After a pause, he continued, "I told Brother Ye that I didn't want you to cause trouble for them, but I just hoped that you could take my sister away and not let her get hurt."

After hearing this, Ye Shisan immediately asked back, "Have you forgotten what I said was the most important point?"

Ding Feng understood and said, "Not being bullied by others. But..."

"Yes!" Ye Shisan said firmly: "If it is someone you can't afford to offend, of course you can't fight against him with an egg. But if you are provoked by such a person, you must endure it if you can, and there is no need to endure it anymore if you can't bear it anymore. Of course, the best way is to retaliate when you have the strength. But the prefect you mentioned is within the range of people I can afford to offend." As he said this, a sneer hung on the corner of his mouth.

Ding Feng was no longer a child. After hearing what Ye Shisan said, he immediately understood something and asked, "No way, Brother Zhang, who are you to be able to offend the Azure Dragon Marquis?"

Ye Shisan shook his head and said, "Of course I can't afford to offend Qinglong Hou Mengzhang, but only with him personally!" After a pause, a murderous look flashed in his eyes and he said, "Leave this matter to me. If that prefect doesn't know what's best for him, Emperor Yan may have to think about the next prefect."

Ding Feng's whole body went cold and he said, "Brother Ye, the look in your eyes just now was so scary."

Ye Shisan smiled again and said, "I am an easy-going person, am I not? Hehe, but of course this is under normal circumstances. Treating enemies is a completely different matter. Well, come on, let's not talk about this for now. Let me see how your basic skills are."

Ye Shisan and Ding Xiang’s wedding was scheduled for ten days later.

I didn't expect Ding Yuan to make such a big fuss about it. Of course, he only said that his daughter was getting married, but he didn't say anything about dealing with the monster. But they had already decided to leave, so it shouldn't have a big impact on Ding Xiang's reputation. Ye Shisan thought to himself, I really admire that old guy Ding Yuan, who could make such a sacrifice for the village.

Ye Shisan had already thought about it. After dealing with the monster, he would take the imperial sword and go to the prefect to "talk."

******

In the Guizhou Prefecture, the prefect slammed the table and stood up, shouting at his disappointing son: "You little bastard! I wouldn't say anything about you always fooling around, but you actually want to rob the bride? Do you know that girl is the daughter of the previous prefect? ​​If you do this, what impact will it have on my reputation? Do you know?"

"Dad!" A young man with a bloated figure, dull eyes, and a pale complexion due to excessive drinking and sex said coquettishly, "But I really like her. If I don't take action now, she will marry someone else. By then, even if I snatch her away, she will be a fallen woman. What's the point of playing with her?"

"Absolutely not!" the prefect said angrily, "If you dare to go, I will break your legs!"

"You..., my son is just going to rob a woman, are you afraid that it will affect your reputation? Haven't you robbed women over the years? Why don't you seem to be afraid of damaging your reputation?" At this time, a charming woman walked up to her son, rolled her eyes at the prefect and said, "Son, go ahead, if he dares to touch a hair on your head, I will twist off his ears!"

Being insulted by the woman, the prefect's face changed several times, but he finally held back and said, "But the boy who wants to marry the girl from the Ding family is said to be from Shangdang. And I heard a while ago that a newly appointed Eight Prefectures investigator from Shangdang has just left Beijing. What if..."

"What's the chance of that happening?" The woman glared at the prefect and said, "Even if it's really the Eighth Prefecture Patrol, so what? With my brother-in-law protecting you, would the Eighth Prefecture Patrol dare to touch you? Why was I so blind to marry a worthless thing like you?"

The governor said helplessly: "But you also know that there have been monsters there in recent years..."

When she heard about the monster, the woman finally stopped talking. After thinking for a while, she finally advised her son: "Xiaofu, listen to your mother and don't go. If you are caught and eaten by a monster, your mother will be heartbroken."

The dandy boy called Fu'er once again said coquettishly: "Mom, if Dingxiang wants to marry someone else, I can't even eat. It will make you sad to see her like that. In order not to make you sad, I have thought of a way. I will take a few experts to hide, and when the monster takes the groom away, I will snatch him away. The monster can't come back so quickly."

After hearing this, the woman smiled and said, "My Fu'er is the best. He is smart and sensible. I'll do as you wish."

The governor sighed, "What a loving mother who spoils her son!"

The woman retorted bluntly: "It should be said that the upper beam is crooked and the lower beams are crooked." The prefect was speechless.
