Chapter 95

  Rushing slowly, after ten days, Zhan Zhao finally married his beloved girl as he wished.

  There's a saying that goes: The four greatest joys in life are: A long drought encountering sweet rain; Meeting old friends in a foreign land; The wedding night; and the moment when one's name appears on the list of successful candidates.

  This is just a small achievement for Your Feline Excellency.

  When Zhan Zhao used a joyful scale to lift up the bride's red veil, he saw that delicate and sweet smiling face.

  Today's her is different from the past, a thin layer of powder on her face makes her beauty even more stunning, that subtle smile with lowered eyebrows has already captured people's hearts.

  Although it was a grand and joyful day, Wu Zhi and Bei Xia didn't make things difficult for Zhan Zhao, they just exchanged cups with him as a formality.

  The four great marshals of Kaifeng Prefecture naturally didn't make things difficult for him either.

  So Zhan Zhao was able to return early to his new home to see his new wife.

  "Xiao Feng, I've finally married you."

  He took a cup of wine from the table and handed it to her.

  Lu Xiaofeng didn't drink much wine, but he could only have a little of this special wine.

  After all the ceremonies were completed, Zhan Zhao helped her remove the hairpins and washed off the makeup on her face, and then the two prepared to go to bed.

  At this moment, an unusual commotion broke out in the government office, and Zhan Zhao's expression changed.

  Lu Xiaofeng didn't say anything and just quietly looked at him.

  Zhan Zhao didn't leave to check out the situation outside, but instead said to her: "You've had a long day too, take a rest."

  Lu Xiaofeng couldn't help but smile, "Don't you really worry about what's outside?"

  Zhan Zhao said: "Bei Xia and Wu Shu are both here, plus Wang Chao, Ma Han, Zhang Long, and Zhao Hu, it's no big deal for the three brothers of the Wen family to come together."

  "I'm afraid you're physically in the house, but your heart has already flown away."

  Little Phoenix

  Lu Xiaofeng stretched out his hand to stop him from continuing, got up from the bedside and sat back in front of the dresser, starting to tidy up his long hair.

  Zhan Zhao was somewhat perplexed.

  Lu Xiaofeng quickly tidied herself up and changed into a bright red wedding dress, as the traditional Chinese wedding attire was not suitable for everyday wear after the wedding.

  "This is——"

  Lu Xiaofeng smiled at him and said: "Let's go out together, anyway I'm not staying alone in the house." The hostage was stubborn and refused to be taken!

  Zhan Zhao: "......"

  "And what if Wen's family's target is me? Don't forget that Wen Li once tried to capture me and take me back."

  Zhan Zhao's heart skipped a beat when he heard her say that, and this was indeed the aspect he had neglected to consider. Fortunately, she reminded him.

  She had thought of this from the start, but she didn't remind him until she confirmed that he would stay with her. This made Xian Zhao's heart ache a little, as she always put herself in his shoes and considered his feelings, while he sometimes ignored hers.

  He is not a qualified husband, no wonder she has been hesitant to marry him.

  "Xiao Feng, I'm sorry." He stretched out his hand and tightly wrapped her in his arms, his voice filled with the deepest apology.

  Lu Xiaofeng reached out and gently stroked his back, saying lightly: "Zhan Zhao, I've known what kind of person you are for a long time, so I've also anticipated the situation that would arise. You don't have to apologize to me, this is just my own choice."

  "Xiao Feng——" Zhan Zhao didn't know what else he could say. With a wife like this, what more could a husband ask for?

  "Alright, let's save the emotional talk for another time. Now, shall we go out?"

  "Good."

  Just as the couple was about to leave the house, someone broke in through the window.

  A figure in a black night-traveling suit appeared, with their head and face covered, making it impossible to discern their features. As soon as they arrived, their target was the person beside Zhan Zhao.

  Zhan Zhao's mind was shocked and furious, they actually really took his wife as one of their targets.

  Xiao He also rushed over to investigate the unusual noise in the house, and was startled when he saw the black-clad man entwined with his master. He hastily ran to Miss's side.

  "Miss, are you okay?"

  "No."

  "How could this be?" Today is the young lady's happy day, yet someone has come to make an attempt on her life? If it were in the capital, such a thing would never happen. Huzhou is truly too chaotic!

  "Who shall I ask if you ask me?"

  "Miss——" At this time, can you stop using that tone of yours as if it has nothing to do with you? I don't believe for a moment that you have no clue.

  At a glance at Yaya's expression, Xiaofeng said practically: "I think it's probably still to use me as an exchange for 'Bingtian Long' Wen Yi who is locked in prison."

  Xiao He's eyes widened in surprise, and he thought to himself, "Could it be that she wants to take Miss hostage again?!"

  "Don't stare so wide-eyed, it will scare people in the middle of the night, this is just my guess."

  "Miss Guessed it, then it won't be wrong." Xiao He said with absolute certainty.

  "Alas, why do you have so much faith in me?" Lu Xiaofeng said with a hint of helplessness.

  "I do." A more certain and clear answer cannot be given.

  Xiaohe, you're really cute!

  Lu Xiaofeng was teased by his maid and couldn't help but stretch out his hand to poke her forehead, "Really don't know what to say about you."

  Xiao He rubbed his forehead and grumbled: "Miss, are you just going to stand there and watch?"

  "Are you kidding me? I'm still following you?"

  "How dangerous it looks here?" Xiao He had already understood the principle of "watching with risk, watching plays requires caution" in his subconscious.

  "Here, at least Zhan Zhao is still around," Lu Xiao Feng patiently analyzed to Ya Huan, "If I were to run out and find someone now, who knows if there are any more ambushes along the way? So sometimes not changing is the best strategy."

  Xiaohe nodded in agreement, "Miss is right!" Miss seemed to always be right, even when she was wrong, she could still come up with a conclusion that made her correct.

  "Zhan, we're here to help you."

  Huh?

  It's Zhang Long and Zhao Hu, it seems they also sensed that something was amiss over here, so they sent some men over.

  With Zhang Long and Zhao Hu joining, Zhan Zhao's side immediately gained an overwhelming victory. The black-clad man saw that the situation was unfavorable and took advantage of a momentary lapse to flee in defeat.

  "Zhang Long, Zhao Hu don't chase anymore."

  "Is it Mr. Zhang?"

  "First ensure the safety of adults."

  "Yes."

  Zhan Zhao turned his head back to look.

  Lu Xiaofeng smiled slightly at her and said, "I'll go with you."

  Zhan Zhao nodded, "Good."

  Seeing Zhan Zhao and Lu Xiaofeng, the newlywed couple, appear at the scene of capturing the black-clad man, Gong Sun Ce couldn't help but ask: "How did you two come here?"

  "Zhan Zhao is worried about the situation here, so I'll follow him out to take a look." Lu Xiao Feng replied on behalf of Zhan Zhao.

  Gongsun Ce shook his head, "Zhan Huwei, I've already told you, tonight is your big happy day, there's no need for you to take action."

  Zhan Zhao could only smile wryly.

  "Mr. Gong Sun, you still don't know him, when there's something going on outside, how can he possibly stay in the house with a clear conscience?"

  Gongsun Ce looked at the Northern Knight and the Five Rats, who were surrounding Hei Pao, and said frankly: "But to be honest, it's really not necessary." Otherwise, the adults wouldn't have sent Zhang Long and Zhao Hu over there to investigate.

  Lu Xiaofeng gazed at the two black-clad figures in the arena, his brow furrowed. There were two here, and one had gone to their side as well. This meant that among the "Huzhou Four Dragons", apart from the second brother "Bing Tian Long" Wen Yi who was locked up, the remaining three - the eldest brother Jin Jia Long Wen Ren, the third brother Du Yan Long Wen Li, and the fourth brother Yu Mian Long Wen Xin - should all be present tonight.

  It seems they also have a red heart and two prepared hands.

  On the one hand, it's not likely to be a trap, but rather, Lu Xiaofeng thought that they might want to send the imperial yellow robe to Wen Yi in prison, which would ensure that Wen Yi wouldn't suffer from any possible torture.

  On the other hand, Wen Jia brothers are considering taking her hostage and making a private deal with the idol... Hmph, indeed a good calculator.

  Lu Xiaofeng couldn't help but snort coldly in his heart.

  Both Nan and Bei Double Heroes are here, as well as the Five Rats of Trap Island and the Four Great Marshals of Kaifeng Prefecture. They're really looking for a beating.

  Especially these two in front of me, they will soon enjoy the thrilling taste of being abused.

  Zhan Zhao said on one side: "Looking at their martial arts moves, they should be Wen family's eldest and third son."

  Gongsun Ce replied: "Just now, the one who exchanged blows with Wen Four was indeed Young Master Wenshu?"

  Zhan Zhao nodded, "It should be him. Among the Wen family brothers, the fourth young master Wen Xin has the highest martial arts skills, and his martial arts are on par with Zhan's." However, they have different backgrounds and his Jianghu background gives him an advantage.

  Nowadays, the situation is that the two heroes from the south and north, along with the five mice from Trap Island and the four great marshals from Kaifeng Prefecture, are joining forces to capture the two brothers of the Wen family. No matter how powerful they are, they will only be able to surrender.

  However, Wen Ren finally used his own strength to cover up the escape of his third brother, and he himself became a prisoner, locked up with his second brother.

  The matter had come to an end, and as it was already the second half of the night, everyone let Xianzhao and his new wife return to their room first.

  The two returned to their new home and went to sleep after washing up.

  Today is really tired enough, other things will be said later.

  We'll see about it in the future!

  In the early morning, the physiological clock wakes up on time.

  As soon as he opened his eyes, he saw the gentle face of the woman he loved. This was truly the happiest thing in the world for Zhan Zhao, and he couldn't help but reach out to touch her soft cheek.

  But the next moment was slapped away by someone.

  Lu Xiaofeng turned over, rubbed his face against the pillow and mumbled: "Let me sleep a little longer."

  Zhan Zhao couldn't help but laugh silently.

  "It's getting late." He whispered in her ear.

  "Xiao Mao, if you don't sleep, get up yourself. If you disturb me again, believe it or not, I'll kick you out of bed!" Little Phoenix warned him without even opening her eyes.

  Zhan Zhao's face was full of smiles, completely ignoring her warning, and turned her entire body over.

  Lu Xiaofeng soon sensed his intention, but was too lazy to open his eyes and simply cooperated by taking off his middle garment and undergarments.

  In the sky that had just turned white, Zhan Zhao enjoyed his own wedding night.

  After everything was over, Little Phoenix Maiden felt even more tired.

  Zhan Zhao was dressed in a light and refreshing outfit, with a radiant spirit. He covered her bed quilt for her, then got out of bed to wash up and change his clothes.

  The first day after getting married, Little Phoenix slept soundly until the sun was high in the sky.

  Finally, Xiao He had to personally help his young mistress get dressed and ready, so as not to leave a bad impression on others.

  Actually, Xiaohe was overthinking things.

  Let's just say that yesterday everyone was busy till the second half of the night, even if not, today is someone's first day after marriage, in the absence of a mother-in-law at home, Lu Xiaofeng this new bride getting up early or late really wouldn't bother anyone.

  The little phoenix girl who was forcibly dug up by the servant girl, after eating something, sat at the edge of the table with one hand propping her cheek and the other holding a teacup, looking somewhat bored.

  It's really frustrating, can't even sleep in!

  "Miss, you're married now, can't be as lazy as before."

  Lu Xiaofeng listened to Xiao He muttering beside him and lazily said, "Xiao He, I've told you before, if getting married is not as good as the days before marriage, why would I want to get married?"

  "But—"

  "No way, I'll marry Zhan Xiao Mao. If he doesn't even let me sleep in and I kick him out, then I'll just be single again."

  "Cough...cough..."

  "White Five Grandfather." Xiao He looked somewhat embarrassed at the person covering his mouth and coughing outside the door.

  Lu Xiaofeng picked up his teacup and took a sip of water, saying to the person outside the door: "Bai Xiaowu, don't you have anything better to do?"

  Bai Yutang strode in with a swish of his sleeves and plopped himself down on one side, saying: "Fifth Master, do I look like someone with nothing better to do?"

  "Of course." Lu Xiaofeng replied very naturally.

  "Bao Da Ren has already ordered the officers and soldiers to go to Wen Fu to capture people."

  "It's probably not going to be that smooth."

  "Sister, you're absolutely right," said Bai Yutang, suddenly having a conversation tone. "The Wen family's main hall still has the emperor's handwritten plaque, and the government soldiers can only retreat outside the Wen family gate to surround it, but they can't enter to catch people."

  Lu Xiaofeng glared at him, "Bai Xiaowu, must you be so gleeful about others' misfortunes?"

  "Why not?" Bai Yutang said with a straight face, "We Five Righteousnesses of the Trapping Emptiness Island married our sister, and they actually dared to come to our door and kick us out. Such a humiliating thing, shouldn't we be angry about it?"

  "Is Zhan Zhao outside the Wen manor?"

  "Hmm, he and Bei Xia are keeping watch outside, while I and Big Brother are in charge of the safety of the mansion."

  Lu Xiaofeng nodded, indicating that he understood.

  "Sister, aren't you going to help out a bit?"

  "What can I help with?" Lu Xiaofeng was somewhat perplexed.

  "Show off your identity as the Emperor's sister?" Bai Yutang urged her.

  Lu Xiaofeng hummed and said calmly: "Do you want to see my godfather get angry?"

  Bai Yutang laughed with glee, "Paper can't wrap fire, I think Master Pang has probably received the news by now. Ha! I really want to see Master Pang's face turn green with rage!"

  Xiaohe glared at him from the side.

  Lu Xiaofeng said: "You've spread the news?"

  Bai Yutang hastily shook his head, "No, how could I do such a thing? It's better to let Master Pang discover it himself."

  Lu Xiaofeng poured himself another cup of water and said slowly, "This matter is just a setup to capture Wen Jia brothers. If things get out of hand, the fake will become real. What do you think my adoptive father will do?"

  Xiaohe: *silence*

  Bai Yutang: "......" It seems that you already have a way to deal with it, little sister.

  At White Jade Hall, while the sworn siblings were chatting, the Wen family members who were besieged by government troops in their mansion also felt a sense of nostalgia.

  "Unexpectedly, Zhan Zhao's wife turned out to be the sworn sister of the Five Rats of Trap Island. This unexpected rat has made us lose a good opportunity." Wen Li was filled with regret.

  Wen Xin remained silent beside him, but last night when he saw the woman in red under the moonlight, he was consumed by jealousy and resentment. However, Xian Zhao was not an easy opponent, and it wasn't until reinforcements arrived that Wen Xin was forced to retreat without achieving his goal.

  "Fourth brother, she is now Madame Zhan Zhao, so put your thoughts to rest."

  "Third Brother..."

  "Now the only plan is for you two brothers to break through and find Taihu brother, and mother will go to Beijing to file a complaint."

  "Daughter——" Wen Xin's face changed.

  Wen Li said: "How can a son abandon his mother and escape alone?"

  "Foolish children, you should know that 'as long as the green mountain is there, we don't have to worry about having no firewood to burn'. As long as you escape, our Wen family will still be saved. Moreover, with you by my side, Bao Zheng would not allow me to leave Huzhou, how can I then go to the capital to plead our case?"

  "But, Mother—" Wen Li was about to continue, but was stopped by Old Lady Wen.

  "The key issue now is whether you brothers can break through and come out."

  "We will definitely go out."

  Wen Laidao said: "Girl, you don't have to worry, even if we can't get out of the two of us, I will definitely let Fourth Brother go."

  "Fourth son, since heaven and earth are vast, there is no place without fragrant grass. You might as well give up that thought now. In my opinion, although that girl has an unusual relationship with Bao Gong, marriage is a personal matter. Presumably having lost both parents, she won't have too much family background, which wouldn't be suitable for our Wen family."

  Wen Xin hung her head and said, "I understand, child."

  "When night falls, you brothers will break through and go."

  "Yes."

  The Wen family's side was arranged in an orderly manner, just as night fell.
