Qin Dynasty: Starting with a free Fire Kirin Sword

This is contrary to ancient etiquette! Traditionally, the groom should enter the bridal chamber to greet the bride and guide her to the sedan chair, which is the established custom.

He immediately objected, "General, this is not in accordance with regulations..."

Unexpectedly, before he could finish speaking,

A gust of wind swept across my face.

Si Le was thrown several feet away by the blow and crashed heavily onto a wall near the ground.

A dull thud followed.

"Cough cough..."

A large amount of blood flowed from his mouth, clearly indicating that he was severely injured and unable to continue.

Today was, after all, Ji Wuye's wedding day, so he deliberately restrained his strength and did not use force.

Otherwise, Si Le would probably be dead already.

"Rules? What are rules to me, Ji Wuye!"

"I'll ask you one more time, when will Princess Honglian appear, or don't blame me for being ruthless!" Ji Wuye's voice revealed an unyielding authority.

Faced with such a powerful and intimidating attitude, Si Le felt a surge of fear and quickly promised, "Yes, yes, General, please don't be angry. I will immediately send someone to inform the princess." At this moment,

He knew that the young general before him was not only an outstanding warrior, but also a powerful ally and adversary who held authority and could not be underestimated—Ji Wuye.

He actually made a direct marriage proposal to the King of Han, forcing Princess Honglian to marry him. This kind of person was so fearsome that even the King of Han was powerless to resist.

What's even more outrageous is that he dared to order Ji Wuye to personally enter the mansion and greet Princess Honglian, as if he had just escaped death.

Despite his injuries, Tai Chang rushed into the mansion.

A moment later, Princess Honglian, dressed in a gorgeous wedding gown and with a red veil on her head, slowly walked out of the mansion and was then welcomed into the bridal sedan chair.

Seeing all this, Ji Wuye smiled with satisfaction.

He then waved his hand and ordered, "Set off immediately and return to the General's Mansion!"

The grand wedding procession proceeded towards Ji Wuye's general's mansion.

Soon, the group arrived safely at the General's Mansion.

"General, should we hold a simple ceremony, such as a wedding ceremony?" the Grand Master of Ceremonies asked cautiously inside the General's residence.

Ji Wuye waved his hand and replied, "No need, all the ceremonies are unnecessary."

"Just take the princess directly to her room, and I'll go after I've finished drinking with the guests." "Huh...?"

Upon hearing this, Tai Chang was about to speak when a sharp pain shot through his body, causing him to shiver immediately.

He quickly replied, "Okay, I'll arrange it right away!" and then hurriedly left to begin making the arrangements.

 Late night

As night quietly fell, in a huge room in Ji Wuye's mansion, which covered an area of ​​over a hundred square meters.

In the deepest part of the room, a woman of exquisite bearing sat quietly.

The red veil beside her had long been thrown aside.

The woman wore a golden phoenix crown, inlaid with rose-red jade beads, and the silver tassels hanging from the wings were particularly eye-catching.

She wore silver oval earrings, a short bright red gauze dress with gold patterns on the collar, a long bright red skirt underneath, and a bright red sash with a bow tied around her waist.

She was dressed in a magnificent gown, and her beauty was beyond compare.

She is Princess Hongryeon of South Korea.

Although Princess Honglian was dressed in her wedding gown, she showed no joy whatsoever as a newlywed.

Her eyes were filled with despair and helplessness, and she seemed to have lost all vitality, her face pale.

Only the rosy blush on her cherry lips proved that she was still alive.

With just one sentence from Ji Wuye, her father didn't even have the courage to resist, and in the blink of an eye, he sold her off.

They claimed it was for the sake of South Korea, for the royal family, and for the future.

Honglian knew in her heart that this was just an excuse.

What the emperor fears is that Ji Wuye will seize the throne or find someone to replace him.

Therefore, he chose to surrender without resistance, even sacrificing his daughter to preserve his throne.

For my father, the throne is above all else!

What does his own daughter matter? "Yes!"

"What am I? Just a sacrifice!" Red Lotus parted her red lips slightly, a cold smile appearing on her face.

The deepest sorrow is a heart utterly dead; the next deepest sorrow is death.

Honglian finally understood Zhuangzi's words: No matter how deep the grief, it could no longer hurt her heart, because her heart had died the moment her father abandoned her without hesitation.

"There is no reason for me to live in this world anymore."

"After tonight, everything will turn to dust." With a soft sigh, a resolute glint flashed in Princess Honglian's eyes.

It seems she has made a decision.

At the same time, beneath her long red robe, her slender, jade-like hands tightly gripped a sharp weapon.

It gleamed with a cold light and exuded a faint black aura.

Clearly, the ** was coated with a highly toxic substance.

Honglian's hand, holding **, trembled slightly, as if she had made up her mind.

This is a highly poisonous substance; even a Grandmaster-level expert would die from contact with it.

Princess Honglian had already made preparations, planning to assassinate Ji Wuye during their wedding night.

If it weren't for the fact that such a death was too feeble, she might have ended her own life long ago when she learned that her father had abandoned her without any mercy.

But how unwilling she must have been to pass away so silently.

Therefore, she decided to continue living.

The plan was to wait until the wedding night to kill Ji Wuye in one fell swoop.

Even if it doesn't kill him instantly, as long as the poison can be injected into Ji Wuye's body, it will severely injure him.

indoor.

After making up her mind, Honglian gently raised her left hand and took the red veil that had fallen to the side, covering her face with it.

Afterward, she sat quietly in a corner, awaiting the moment of the final showdown.

Time passed by, second by second.

No one knows how much time has passed.

Suddenly, a soft sound came from inside the room.

Then came the sound of light and steady footsteps, getting closer and closer.

The man slowly walked towards Princess Honglian's bed.

"Shh!"

Hearing the sound approaching, Honglian tensed up, her fair wrists, hidden in her sleeves, clenched tightly.

Beneath the red veil, a pair of eyes suddenly widened, their faces showing a resolute expression.

When the person stopped in front of her, through the thin veil, Honglian saw a figure standing still, seemingly gazing at her silently.

At this time.

The shadow slowly stretched out a hand, gently touched the red veil on Honglian's head, and gently lifted it.

"The opportunity has come!"

This is exactly the time that Honglian has been waiting for!

The moment the red veil was lifted, her wrist moved beneath her clothes, and a sharp blade concealing deadly poison in her hand reflected a cold glint.

He suddenly thrust his sword towards the abdomen of the figure in front of him.

"Crack!"

but!

A piercing metallic clang followed.

Honglian's attack, which she was certain would hit, was blocked, as if it had struck a solid rock, leaving her completely unaffected.

"not good!"

"Mistake!"

Sensing the failure of her attack, Princess Honglian was startled, but quickly regained her composure and raised her sword again.

Without hesitation, he aimed at his own chest and plunged in with all his might.

Since the assassination attempt failed and there was no way to save her, dying to uphold her purity was her last choice.

"Snapped!"

however!

Just as it was about a hair's breadth from her heart, a giant hand swiftly seized her slender hand as if struck by lightning.

This prevented her from taking any further action.

"it's over!"

Trying to struggle was futile.

Honglian felt a dizzying sensation as the world spun around her, and her entire body trembled with fear.

Because at this moment, even the freedom to die has been taken away.

From this point on, her fate would no longer be in her own hands.

How could she face something she couldn't even bring herself to die for?

Her face turned deathly pale, and her eyes were filled with despair.

A deep sense of helplessness filled my heart. "Could it be that I really have to..." Just as despair enveloped me.

A calm yet teasing voice rang in my ears.

"Princess Red Lotus, are you so reluctant to become my bride?" "I'm unwilling..."

Almost instinctively, Princess Honglian retorted with words full of resentment, but before she could finish speaking, her body froze.

Because everything has changed! Those words did not come from Ji Wuye, whom she had hoped to assassinate.

Almost at the same time,

Before her, the person gently lifted her veil.

When the veil was lifted, what came into Honglian's eyes was a flawless face, whiter than snow, incomparably handsome, with deep eyes that seemed to hold the brilliance of a starry sea.

At that moment, all doubts and panic vanished.

His face wore a gentle smile, both warm and bright.

A single glance is enough to make one's thoughts tremble involuntarily.

"Such an astonishingly handsome man, I doubt any woman could remain calm!" This thought flashed through Honglian's mind.

Even her nearly desperate heart trembled slightly.

However, Honglian quickly regained her composure.

Her lips parted slightly, and she asked with a face full of suspicion, "Who...who are you? How did you end up in Ji Wuye's room?"

Who else could it be but Lin Qi?

Lin Qi gently shook his head, not immediately answering Honglian's question.

Instead, he smiled and asked, "Honglian, do you remember what I asked you just now?" Honglian was taken aback: "What question?"

Lin Qi smiled and said, "Marry me, don't you think that's a wonderful thing?" "What?!" Hearing this, Honglian slightly opened her red lips and was stunned again.

Then, she quickly shook her head and replied sincerely, "Stop making trouble and leave now." "This is Ji Wuye's mansion, and also his bedroom."

"I reckon it's already late at night, and he'll soon send all the guests away and return here." "If he finds you in the house, you're dead."

As she spoke, Honglian's gaze shifted to the door, a hint of worry appearing in her eyes.

She seemed worried that Ji Wuye would return immediately.

If that happens, the young man in front of him will face a life-threatening situation.

Seeing Honglian's worried expression, Lin Qi was not surprised.

This is Ji Wuye's residence, his bedroom, and even on his wedding day, if an outsider were to break in and be discovered, he would almost certainly die.

But Lin Qihao didn't care!

On the contrary, he was concerned about Honglian's concern for the fate of a stranger.

A kind-hearted girl like her touched his heart!

He looked at Honglian and said gently, "Princess Honglian, it's a pleasure to meet you. My name is Lin Qi!" Lin Qi's actions stunned Honglian once again.
