The Heavens: From Film and Mythology to Conquering Myriad Realms
Chapter 16 Wedding Banquet Turmoil
Lu Yao did not take the appearance of the remnants of the Wei Kingdom to heart.
They're just a bunch of rats in a stinking ditch. If they dare to show their faces, Lu Yao wouldn't mind taking care of them.
The wedding date arrived as scheduled, and the Lu residence was exceptionally lively today.
Lu Yao bought a large mansion in Pei County as his residence, and the wedding was naturally held there.
Li Shiqi and others also rushed over from Xianyang to congratulate Lu Yao.
Gao Yao also brought a team from Denggaolou to the Lu residence to help with the preparations for the wedding banquet.
"Time to pick up the bride!"
As Xiao Si shouted, Lu Yao mounted his horse and led the wedding procession to the Lü residence.
This time, Lu Yao invited the villagers of Pei County in a grand manner. The large number of people made it lively, and it was also an opportunity for him to integrate into the local community.
Because they were both in Pei County, the wedding procession arrived at the Lü residence very quickly.
After paying his respects to Lord Lü at the Lü residence, Lu Yao was greeted by Lü Su, who was dressed in splendid red attire.
The custom of wearing red veils did not exist in the Qin Dynasty. When Lu Yao looked at Lü Su, who was dressed in beautiful red, his heart couldn't help but flutter.
He stepped forward, swept Lü Su up in his arms, and strode out of the Lü residence.
Lying in Lu Yao's arms, Lü Su leaned against his firm chest, gazing lovingly at Lu Yao's handsome face.
Lu Su was put down in the carriage and helped by a maid.
Lu Su looked back at the Lu residence, at her father and sister who had seen her off, and felt a little reluctant to leave, as this was the first time she had ever been away from home.
After exchanging a few pleasantries with Lord Lü and Lü Zhi, Lu Yao led his group back to the Lu residence.
There will also be a wedding banquet at the Lü residence, where all the guests will be relatives and friends of the Lü family, and the banquet will be hosted by Lü Gong.
Since Lu Yao wasn't from this time, he naturally didn't have any relatives. The guests at the banquet were mostly local gentry and friends from Xianyang, such as Li Shiqi.
"Sigh, if only Xiaochuan were here, I wonder how he is doing."
Gao Yao drank his wine and sighed.
In Gao Yao's mind, Yi Xiaochuan was his good friend and also his sister's boyfriend, so he naturally paid some attention to him.
Lu Yao was busy greeting guests, but he didn't know anyone, so he could only drink alone.
Just as everyone was happily drinking, a servant rushed in in a panic.
"Young master, something terrible has happened!"
The servant looked flustered and rushed over as soon as he saw Lu Yao.
"What happened?"
Lu Yao looked at him and frowned as he asked.
The servant had just opened his mouth, but before he could say anything, the gate of the Lu residence was kicked open.
"Why didn't they invite me, Zhang Biao, to their wedding banquet?"
A burly man with stubble crossed his arms and looked at the crowd at the banquet with a wild laugh.
He was followed by more than twenty henchmen, and they squeezed their way into the Lu residence.
"It's Zhang Biao from Black Rock Mountain!"
"Oh no, oh no, how could he be here?"
The local gentry clearly recognized the visitors, and their expressions were filled with fear.
Lu Yao's expression gradually turned cold as he looked at the newcomer.
"Which of you is Lu Yao?"
Zhang Biao kicked aside a local gentryman in front of him, stepped onto a chair, and arrogantly asked...
Everyone present couldn't help but look at today's protagonist.
"Looks like it's you. I heard you're rich. We're struggling to make ends meet lately, so we're thinking of borrowing some money from you."
Zhang Biao revealed a mouthful of yellow teeth and glared fiercely at Lu Yao.
"You have half an hour to get out of here! Otherwise, you can leave your lives behind."
Lu Yao looked at Zhang Biao calmly, his voice chillingly cold.
The local gentry were disheartened. Zhang Biao was a notorious bandit in the vicinity of Pei County, and the government couldn't do anything about him.
Upon hearing Lu Yao's words, everyone immediately tensed up.
Lu Yao had just rejected those rats from Wei when people came to disrupt his wedding banquet. It seems he needs to teach them a lesson.
"Hahahaha, look what I just heard, kid, you're asking for it."
Zhang Biao pointed at Lu Yao with loud, maniacal laughter.
Zhang Biao's henchmen also mocked him.
"You overconfident brat, haha."
"I heard the bride is very beautiful. I'll have to see her later."
……
Hearing the group's foul language, Lu Yao felt a surge of murderous intent.
"If you don't want to leave, then don't leave!"
Lu Yao vanished in an instant, delivering a whip kick to Zhang Biao.
Zhang Biao was shocked. He didn't expect Lu Yao to dare to resist. Didn't he see that Lu Yao had brought more than twenty people with him?
However, he did not call upon his underlings. To become the leader of Blackrock Mountain, he must have some skill.
Zhang Biao was a deserter who ran away from the army and became an outlaw near Pei County, plundering the local people and living a pretty good life. That's why the local gentry who attended the banquet were so afraid.
Zhang Biao drew his long sword from his waist and slashed at Lu Yao with a single blow.
Lu Yao moved slightly, dodging Zhang Biao's slash, and grabbed Zhang Biao's wrist, twisting it forcefully.
"what!"
Zhang Biao, in pain, dropped his sword and immediately took two steps back, looking at Lu Yao with apprehension.
He didn't expect Lu Yao to act so decisively, and he certainly didn't expect Lu Yao to be so skilled in martial arts.
"What are you all standing there for! Get up there!"
Holding his hand, which had almost been twisted off, Zhang Biao gritted his teeth and said.
"Kill him, brothers, let's go!"
Following their leader's orders, a group of bandits surrounded Lu Yao with weapons.
Lu Yao coldly watched these scoundrels, then kicked the hilt of Zhang Biao's fallen longsword at his feet.
A flash of cold light, and a bandit fell to the ground, struck by a sword.
Lu Yao rushed forward quickly, his figure leaving a blur, demonstrating his incredible speed.
As he drew his longsword, Lu Yao's lips curled up slightly.
Let these bandits test the power of the Haotian Pearl.
Lu Yao then charged into the bandits, like a tiger among sheep.
The bandits were powerless to resist and soon all fell to the ground.
"You, you, you, don't come any closer! Spare me, sir!"
Terrified, Zhang Biao immediately knelt down and begged for mercy.
Zhang Biao was grinding his teeth so hard they were almost ground to powder. He now hated the person who had given him the information.
This is no fat sheep, it's clearly a ferocious dragon!
"I ask, you answer; if you mispronounce a single word, your head will roll."
Looking at Zhang Biao kneeling on the ground, Lu Yao walked up to him, placed his long sword against Zhang Biao's neck, and said calmly.
Looking at Lu Yao, who was covered in blood and looked like a god of death, Zhang Biao's legs trembled.
Soon, under Lu Yao's persistent questioning, the person behind the scenes came to light.
"Wei Zhou, it seems you think I was too merciful after I spared your life last time."
Based on Zhang Biao's description, Lu Yao quickly realized who was behind it all.
These remnants of the Wei Kingdom are truly despicable; they actually colluded with bandits to deal with him.
After getting the information, Lu Yao casually killed Zhang Biao with a single sword stroke. Since they had come to his doorstep, letting them go was out of the question.
"Excellent! Excellent! Young Master Lu has rid us, the people of Pei County, of a great scourge today."
The local gentry who had been hiding saw that all the bandits were dead and hurriedly came out to thank Lu Yao.
"Yes, Zhang Biao has committed countless evil deeds, and today he has finally been brought to justice."
"Young Master Lu is truly virtuous!"
The atmosphere gradually warmed up amid the compliments of the local gentry.
The servants quickly cleaned up the corpses scattered on the ground and notified the authorities to dispose of them.
The fact that bandits could swagger into the city shows how weak the government's power was.
After Lu Yao changed his clothes, the banquet proceeded as scheduled, but everyone was still unsettled after this incident.
The wedding banquet ended quickly.
The local gentry naturally went home, and Lu Yao had already made arrangements for Li Shiqi and others.
……
Lu Yao gently pushed open the door and stepped inside.
Several red candles illuminated the room, and the red decor filled the room with a festive and solemn atmosphere.
Seeing Lu Yao enter, Lü Su clenched her small hands, looking slightly nervous.
"Does Susu miss me?"
Lu Yao waved for the maid to leave and came to the bedside, speaking softly.
"Hmm~"
Lu Su responded shyly, her voice soft and gentle.
"Susu, it's getting late, let's rest."
Seeing Lü Su's shy appearance, Lu Yao's heart fluttered, and he couldn't help but reach out and hug Lü Su.
Amidst Lü Su's shy exclamation, the red candles in the room gradually went out, and the atmosphere of the fusion of spirit and flesh filled the entire room.
