Chapter 168 Expulsion and Accomplishment Do not be silly.
Since you have become the acting commander of Yong State, you will definitely be able to protect Qi State.
Then why put yourself in a dilemma.
Live a good life, don't die alone.
Wei Zipei passed Jiang Bi and walked towards the carriage where the princess was to be married.
In the past, Wei Zipei felt that it was stupid to see his brother love him without being sad or miserable.
But now, she suddenly understood that this kind of stupidity was just the word "accomplishment".
The people who gathered around the entrance of the Princess Mansion to watch the excitement saw all this clearly.
People kept spreading the news, causing everyone to talk about it.
——"What an expensive gift!"
——"It's not a congratulatory gift, I heard it's a betrothal gift!"
——"Stealing a bride? The young man looks quite energetic!"
——"What's the use of spirit? Our country's son-in-law is not bad at all."
——"Well...although the county governor is not as good-looking as anyone else, he is a legitimate husband."
——"Wait a minute, Her Royal Highness the Princess has come out. Why does it look like the Princess and the young man are just right for each other?"
——"Don't sit with your butt crooked. You are from the Wei State, and that young man is from the Yong State."
People watching the excitement pushed forward, scrambling to watch the confrontation between the three.
"That's not from the Yong Kingdom." The envoy from the Yong Kingdom was squeezed off his feet and couldn't help but want to distance himself from the relationship. "That's the Young Master from the Qi Kingdom!"
No one cared what he said, and the people were immersed in excitement and Wei Zipei refused, some people even quietly wiped away tears.
Jiang Ben stood where he was.
He saw Wei Zipei turn around, saw her hair on her temples swaying and trembling slightly, saw the tears that were about to fall in her eyes, and then felt the cold clothes brush against his arm, Wei Zipei had already walked out.
"Don't be stupid", what does it mean? As he recited these three words in his mind, he felt as if his internal organs were shattered.
She must have really changed her mind.
really? Jiang Ben felt someone bump his shoulder away. It was the newlywed son-in-law.
He didn't hide.
Although he wanted to kill the man on the spot, he couldn't even care about his anger now.
Pity.
He actually forgot to feel sorry for himself, and only felt that it was a pity for the congratulatory gift prepared by his sister.
The last page of the gift list was a congratulatory gift that burned his turns out that my sister prepared these not only to congratulate Wei Zipei, but also to congratulate his younger brother.
Jiang Ben stood stiffly until he heard the sound of a crossbow being drawn again behind him.
A high-pitched voice penetrated the bustling crowd and said sternly: "I am here, how dare anyone dare to act wild on my sister-in-law's wedding day?"
The self-proclaimed prince must undoubtedly be Wei Ji, the prince of Wei State.
Listening to the sound, it seemed that it was coming from the princess's mansion.
Everyone looked at the open door, where the guard servants had knelt down. Through the tall entrance hall, they could see Wei Ji standing in the courtyard wearing a white satin brocade robe.
He holds a bow in his hand and is ready to fire.
"You are so barbaric that you should be killed on the spot." Wei Ji said.
There was a sharp look in his eyes, as if he had no intention of identifying the identity of the tall man standing at the door. His right hand, which was full of bowstring, had already been released.
Jiang Ben didn't have time to hide.
The arrow pierced his shoulder, and the huge impact made him take a step forward and almost fall to his groaned in his mouth, turned around and drew his sword, and saw the Yong State envoy in the crowd who was desperately trying to squeeze through.
"Stop! This is Mr. Qi!"
Jiang Ben could understand his mouth movements, but his voice was drowned out by the panicked cries of the people.
Wei Ji had no intention of fighting in close combat.
He took out the feathered arrows and shot them again and again.
The prince of Wei can pierce a poplar at a hundred steps, and he can also stab Jiang Ben into a hedgehog at a hundred steps away.
Jiang Ben blocked with his sword but did not give in.
The first arrow pierced the left shoulder, the second arrow pierced the calf, and the third arrow pierced the back...
Fortunately, those at the back were blocked by Jiang Ben with his sword because they were not strong enough or were slightly deflected.
"Where are the guards?"
As if he was extremely angry, Wei Ji simply dropped his bow and walked over with his sword drawn.
"In the!"
The sound of roaring mountains and tsunami came from all directions, and the sound was shuddering.
"kill him!"
Wei Ji had already seen Jiang Ben's face, but he still raised his voice to give orders.
This is about to break up with Qi and Yong.
A dense rain of arrows flew towards Jiang Ben, as fast as lightning and penetrating all over.
Jiang Ben still didn't retreat.
Then he discovered that in this thrilling moment of resisting the arrow, he was no longer alone.
Wei Zipei stood beside him, holding a sword in his hand.
"Brother," she looked at Wei Ji in the gap between the blocks and said, "you can't kill him."
"Why not?" Wei Ji Shi Shiran stood with the corners of his lips slightly raised, "Killing him means killing the acting commander of the Yongguo Guards, and killing the young master of Qi. It's not a loss."
Not bad? Aren't you afraid of causing war?Or is it to frighten enemy countries? The tension of the situation caused Wei Zipei to lose his judgment for a moment.
Most of the people watching had already fled away in order to avoid the arrows.
The rest finally understood Jiang Ben's identity and sighed loudly with lingering fear.
"It turns out to be the Young Master of Qi!"
"It's really easy to match up with His Highness."
They were talking, completely ignoring the groom, the county magistrate Su Fang, whose face had turned the color of the rain of swords, Wei Ji finally walked up to Jiang Ben and Wei Zipei.
Jiang Ben held his sword to block Wei Zipei, and he felt that his heart was about to jump out of his chest.
She risked her life to protect herself, and even if she died, she would have no regrets.
But Wei Zipei pushed his arm away again and walked up to Wei Ji.
"why?"
Why do you want to kill him? You clearly know that I...
In front of so many people, the second half of the sentence stuck in Wei Zipei's heart, and she couldn't say it out.
"For the sake of Wei Guo's face," Wei Ji said in a cold voice, "step back."
The long street was as quiet as night, and even the powerful guards held their breaths.
Under the scorching gazes of everyone, Jiang Ben held Wei Zipei's hand.
Her hand was so soft and she didn't break free.
"What if she doesn't retreat?"
Jiang Ben stared into Wei Ji's eyes, pulled Wei Zipei behind him, and held the sword tightly with his other hand.
"If she doesn't retreat, I will clean up the house."
The tears that Wei Zipei had been holding back burst out from his eyes.
"What if she comes with me?" Jiang Ben asked.
"Following you will be equivalent to breaking away from the clan. From today on, you are not allowed to step into the Wei Kingdom again." Wei Ji looked indifferent.
"Brother!" Wei Zipei took a step forward, trembling in tears.
She knew Wei Ji's temperament.
Although he often appears gentle and warm to others, he is also stubborn and arbitrary.
If Wei Zipei dares to leave Jiang Bi today, Jiang Bi will be shot.
And if she protects Jiang Ben and leaves, she will no longer be the princess of Wei.
Wei Zipei stood quietly.
She felt the blood from Jiang Ben's shoulder dripping on her sleeve, flowing down her sleeve, and then into the palms of their clasped hands.
It had only been a few months since he had been seriously injured when he had a new injury.
Those arrows were so dense just now. Apart from the ones my brother shot, I don't know if there were any other injuries or if they hit the target.
Wei Zipei thought so and slowly let go of Jiang Ben's hand.
With Jiang Ben's expression of reluctance and heartbreak, she took a few steps forward and walked to Wei Ji.
Raising her slender hands, she took off the buddha on her head, pulled out the delicate jade hairpin, took off the golden phoenix crown decorated with dongzhu, and dropped them one by one.
There was a "ding-dong" sound on the long street, and those valuable utensils seemed to have been discarded casually by wasn't until the long hair that she had tied up to become a married woman fell down like silk that Wei Zipei picked up the skirt of her skirt and knelt upright in front of Wei Ji.
"Zipei bids farewell to my brother." Her voice was a little weak, but very firm. "It's not that Zipei wanted to leave his family and abandon Wei. It's really unbearable to see Jiang Ben lose his life in vain. Wait until I send him back to Yong. , come to the Young Master's Mansion again to plead guilty."
She knocked her head heavily on the ground, then stood up and took Jiang Ben's hand again.
"Let's go."
Come on, fool, let me protect you this time.
The horse galloped out of the city and galloped for three miles on the official road. After confirming that there were no pursuers, it reined in the horse and stopped.
"Zipei..." Jiang Ben was full of words, but he didn't know which words to say first.
"Shut up!" Wei Zipei pulled him to sit down, using both hands to break off the arrow shaft that had pierced his flesh.
"Zipei, today is your wedding, I..." Jiang Ben endured the pain and still spoke.
"Don't talk!" She tore open his clothes, pressed the edge of the wound with her index finger and thumb, and pulled out the arrowhead.
The arrow leaves the body, turning the flesh and drawing more methodically cleaned the wound, applied gold sore medicine, and then tore off her clothes and bandaged it.
This was all what she learned from the soldiers when she went to guard the border.
After treating his wounds, Wei Zipei asked, "Can you go back by yourself?"
"No." Jiang Ben sat on the ground and held her hand. He was afraid that she would run away, so he hugged her legs again.
Wei Zipei was unable to move as he hugged her, her nervousness faded away, and she began to cry instead.
"Don't be a scoundrel," she said. "My brother and I have been friends since childhood. This time, he will definitely hate me."
"No," Jiang Ben let go of her with one hand and picked up the arrow from the ground, "If you don't believe me, look at this."
The black arrowhead was stained with blood. If there was anything particularly eye-catching, it was that the arrowhead had its barbs removed and its corners rounded.
Therefore, although it penetrates the flesh, it does not penetrate too deeply, and it does not bring out the muscles and meridians when it is pulled out.
This is an arrow specially made for Jiang Ben, in order to hit him, attract her to protect him, and then expel and fulfill him.
Wei Zipei stared at the arrow blankly and cried even harder.
She still remembered what Wei Ji said that day in the Young Master's Mansion.
——"When a bride gets married, of course she should be happy."
——"The letter has been sent. Other things are beyond my brother's control."
It turns out that he has always only wanted to be happy.
Tears blurred his vision, and Wei Zipei felt Jiang Ben hugging him.
She stretched out her arms and hugged Jiang Ben tightly.
"I'm sorry..." she cried, "I'm sorry brother."
"I'm sorry," Jiang Ben comforted her, "What can that purple eggplant do? With me as his brother-in-law, I can help him a lot."
Purple eggplant…
Wei Zipei thought of Sheriff Su Fang's face when they left.
Once they left, the brother had to clean up the mess.
"Don't be afraid," Jiang Ben comforted her, "When I marry you, I will give you all the gifts. You will receive gifts, ask for your name, accept gifts, accept gifts, ask for an appointment, welcome you in person, join hands together, and even see the ceremony in the ancestral temple. Let's go through it all. Wei Ji may not be able to attend when the time comes. Wei Zipei," he kissed her forehead solemnly and carefully, "from now on, you have another home."
