Comprehensive film and television: Make trouble before lying down
Chapter 243 Cloud Feather 2
On the outskirts of the Old Dust Valley, red lanterns were hung all over the streets. At the dock, festive boats carrying many brides slowly came to the shore.
One of them was the most conspicuous. It was larger than any other ship and had a deeper draft, but the bridal dress on it was the same as all the others.
"What's going on? Didn't we agree to meet each other? If I don't like you, I can still go home. Why do I have to wear a wedding dress?"
"Miss, you've been complaining all the way. This is the palace rule, so just bear with it!"
"Everything in the boat is my dowry, so you better be careful with it."
Her family loved her, and if she hadn't insisted on coming to see them, her family wouldn't have agreed to this marriage.
"Here we are, my lady. I will help you get off the boat. Please be careful."
Jiu Ning picked up the veil at hand and put it back on. The maid also took her hand and led her forward step by step.
Suddenly, the sound of orderly footsteps was heard all around, extremely light. It was obvious that they were well-trained. As soon as this group of people arrived, they aimed their bows and arrows at everyone.
Before she could lift her veil, a blunt arrow hit her shoulder and neck. The brides around her fell down one by one, and Jiuning was no exception.
"Master Chief, there are some dowries for this girl on this boat. Please take them with you."
The maid who had just been holding Jiuning's hand came forward at the right time and told her about Jiuning's situation.
The chief put down his bow and arrow and walked to the maid unhappily.
"Hasn't the bride's dowry been delivered in advance? Hasn't the palace guards checked it and sent it in?"
"Sir, this girl's dowry is too large, a full sixty carriages, and these are not enough to accommodate it."
The chief sighed. He really knew about this matter, and he had even given special permission, allowing people to bring in some prohibited items.
Even if it was weapons or poison, as long as it was registered, it would be ok. It was so lenient. Even the Lady of the Blade did not have such treatment in her lifetime.
"Okay, I understand. Carry her away carefully and find her a better cell..."
When Jiuning woke up again, she was being held in solitary confinement, surrounded by bars. The ground outside was flooded, and only the cell was dry.
The brides around woke up one after another, began to inquire and ask each other, but they were more afraid.
"What happened? Why are we being held here? Aren't we here to choose a bride?"
"That's right. We are all a wealthy family. How can we accept such an insult?"
Jiu Ning looked at everyone through the railing and found that not everyone was panicking. Some people even pretended to be panicking to find out what was going on. This was interesting.
The cell gradually became quiet, with only a few torches flickering. Just when everyone was dozing off, two light footsteps came towards them.
"Master Yu, why are you here?"
"The young master asked me to take these people to the Zheng Palace to test the medicine. Please open the door quickly."
The guards didn't dare to stop them and turned around to take the two people in, but were stopped by one of them and kept guarding outside.
The footsteps were getting closer and closer. Jiu Ning saw a tall but extremely thin man wearing a black cloak. It was obvious at first glance that he was the kind of naive young man who had not experienced the evil of human nature.
"Don't be afraid, I'm here to save you."
The woman who had appeared calm in the cell before, became pitiful and tearful when she saw the person coming.
"Sir, what happened?"
"There's a Peakless assassin among you."
After the man in black finished speaking, he kept looking at all the brides, but the next moment his sleeve was grabbed by someone.
"What is Wufeng?"
The most active bride in the cell was named Song Si. She looked very proud and was the first to speak up to help everyone.
"You don't know this. Wufeng is a well-known assassin organization in the martial arts world. Anyone who dares to resist them will be exterminated. Only the Gongmen and the Jiangnan Jiang family can compete with them."
"I also heard that Wufeng wanted to attack the Jiang family and killed several people in the Jiang family. In anger, the Jiang family killed Wufeng with just one person. Since then, many noble families have turned to the Jiang family to save their lives."
"That's true, but the Jiang family is a low-key family. They allow aristocratic families to settle around them, but they don't actively protect them. Perhaps it's because they have been developing for too short a time and don't have a deep foundation!"
The man in the black cloak nodded, agreeing with what they said.
"Yes, Wufeng is brutal. So when Lord Zhiren learned that Wufeng's men had infiltrated, he decided to execute them all."
There were immediately cries all around, and some people even grabbed the sleeves of the people who came and refused to let go.
"Okay, I'm here to save you, stop crying."
Zheng Nanyiyi, who had been silent all this time, was now looking at the person who came with vigilance.
"Just now they called you Master Yu. You are the young master of Yu Gong, the son of the Blade Master. You will be kind enough to come and save us. Everyone, don't listen to him."
Gong Ziyu looked at the brides with eyes full of pity, especially the woman named Yun Weishan and Shangguan Qian beside him.
These two should be considered the prettier among them, no wonder they are so attractive.
"I'm not a blade bearer. I can't be so heartless. If you're willing, follow me."
The guard on the side came forward with the key to unlock the door for everyone. Gong Ziyu grabbed Yun Weishan's hand and pulled him up.
"Young Master..."
"Come with me!"
Gong Ziyu didn't even look at the others. The cell doors opened one by one, and everyone followed Gong Ziyu and fled quickly.
Jiuning also lowered his head and followed them, falling behind the team.
The group was walking further and further away, and the woman who was being pulled by Gong Ziyu had no idea when she left the group and ran away alone.
But not long after, Gong Ziyu found her again and comforted her gently along the way.
"arrive···"
Gong Ziyu stepped forward, raised his hand and pressed on a dark stone, and the hidden door rumbled open.
"This secret passage leads to the outside of the Old Dust Valley, but it's full of traps, so you better be careful..."
Before he could finish his words, a cold voice sounded above the crowd.
"Gong Ziyu, didn't you want to send someone to test the medicine for me? Why did you bring them here?"
Jiu Ning looked up again and saw a familiar face on the roof. It was still as arrogant as before, but seemed very different.
"Master Zheng..."
The guard beside Gong Ziyu saluted, but Gong Yuanzheng just glanced at him.
