Chapter 1273 - 972 Xiaosuisui Gets Drunk
"Is there really a need to look?
Your sixth aunt pulls you aside every day, asking this and that, all to inquire about the Ji Family’s preferences.
Her heart and eyes are all for your sixth uncle.
Although she’s a merchant’s daughter with a bit of cunning, her cunning is all directed towards pleasing your sixth uncle’s family.
If a person doesn’t love, why would they care?"
Ji Youcheng thought about Hu Shu’Er’s behavior these past few days and couldn’t help but reflect on himself and Zhu Xiuxiu. Although their marriage was successful, he had made plenty of missteps over the years.
He felt pangs of envy for his simple-minded sixth sibling!
Suisui was drunk from a small bottle of fruit wine on the eve of Ji Youze’s wedding, causing havoc in the courtyard—climbing on the roof, fishing in the pond, creating chaos.
Ji Youcheng bore the brunt of Ji Youze’s complaints.
Fortunately, Suisui, after jumping around all night, was exhausted and fell asleep the next day.
The wedding could proceed normally.
But while the drunken Suisui slept, the demons of Dongyue appeared.
The fallen Princess of Dongyue was to marry a powerful minister of the Great Han?
What a joke!
If that happened, wouldn’t Dongyue be destroyed by the Great Han?
Thus, the death warriors of Dongyue couldn’t sit still.
As Ji Youcheng shouted "Bow to each other!", several figures burst in from outside.
"Who are you?"
Seeing the black-clad figures break in, Ji Youcheng shouted fiercely.
"Naturally, the ones here to take your lives!"
The black-clad men launched a full attack, their target being today’s bride.
Ji Youze protected the Pearl behind him, smiling with a hint of malevolence.
"Close the doors! Release the arrows!"
Ji Youze shouted calmly.
Suddenly, the gates of the courtyard were shut.
The mechanism Ji Youlin had rushed to finish showed its worth.
Instantly, the wedding site became an impregnable fortress.
Archers emerged from the rear hall, ready for an ambush.
"You... you set us up?"
A black-clad man asked, panicking.
"I meant to have a proper wedding, but several assassination attempts have troubled me endlessly, so I prepared.
Tell me, what are you looking for?"
The black-clad man gritted his teeth, "Rumor has it that the companions of the young son of the Great Han Emperor are unfathomable, I didn’t expect it to be true!"
Ji Youze replied, "I take that as a compliment!"
He clapped his hands and said, "Bring him here!"
Just then, the sound of a cart’s wheels rumbling outside echoed.
Everyone looked outside, where a prisoner cart, held by several people, had already stopped in the center of the courtyard.
Inside the cart was none other than Wei Jiang!
Wei Jiang’s body was covered in wounds, soaked in blood.
Upon seeing Ji Youze, he went wild, screaming.
"Ji Youze! I’m going to kill you!"
Ji Youze gave a disdainful smile, "Don’t rush, today marks your end!"
Pearl casually drew the sword from a nearby guard and asked Ji Youze.
"Now his life is mine!"
Ji Youze nodded, "I always keep my promises!"
Ji Youcheng quickly instructed the soldiers, "Protect Princess Pearl a bit, don’t let these villains harm her, or your lives will be forfeit."
The guards, hearing this, quickly followed.
The black-clad men, seeing Pearl’s demeanor, grew uneasy and crowded around Wei Jiang’s prisoner cart.
"Kill her, don’t mind me, just kill that vicious Black Pearl widow!"
Wei Jiang, feeling threatened by Pearl, cried out loudly to the black-clad men.
However, they coldly laughed and simultaneously raised their knives, stabbing towards Wei Jiang.
At that moment, Pearl’s sword plunged into Wei Jiang’s heart!
"Ah..."
Wei Jiang looked incredulously at the black-clad men.
"Why... why?"
Though masked, he could hear their voices clearly, and recognize that their figures were familiar—they were the death warriors by Wei Heng’s side.
Their loyalty to Wei Heng was unquestionable.
Yet now, they were the ones killing him!
He was Wei Heng’s son, the legitimate heir, even crowned as Crown Prince!
"The Crown Prince died in the Great Han, the Emperor ordered, three hundred thousand soldiers ready to march, invade the Great Han capital to avenge the Crown Prince!"
