New and dark light years

Chapter 317 I am deeply honored
Let's rewind three hours.

In Yulin County, a three-courtyard house was decorated with lanterns and colorful decorations, and the ground was covered with red firecracker debris.

The house was filled with banquet dishes, and Xiao Hu, dressed in his wedding attire, and Ding Yingqiu, the bride, wearing a phoenix coronet and embroidered robe, were warmly entertaining the guests.

Generally, the bride waits in the bridal chamber for the wedding night. However, wedding customs in southern Xinjiang are more open-minded and there are not many strict rules.

Just invite your friends and family over for a couple of drinks to celebrate.

Since they were all relatives and friends, there was no distinction of status or wealth; everyone could sit wherever they pleased, eat, and drink.

Huang Qing and Hong Luan arrived together, followed by Chu Rengong.

The Chu Palace is very beautiful and radiant now, but it still falls short compared to the Yellow Chime.

The three of them mingled with a group of ordinary civilians and found a table to sit down.

The three women had completely different demeanors, so no one dared to share a table with her.

However, when young people saw the three men's appearances, they couldn't help but ask if any of them were married. Upon receiving the answer, they were all very disappointed.

In southern Xinjiang, banquets mainly feature large amounts of fish and meat. As long as you have a little money, you can prepare heavy oil and salt in the form of farm-style dishes to entertain your guests.

I don't like eating yellow chimes.

Hongluan and Churen Palace seem to like it quite a bit.

After the three of them ate for a while, feeling that it was about time and the mood was right, they went to find Xiao Hu, who was serving other guests.

"Sister-in-law, and sister-in-law too," Xiao Hu greeted politely.

"My two sisters-in-law," Ding Yingqiu said gracefully, bowing slightly.

Huang Qing bowed slightly and said with a smile, "My husband is away on military campaign and cannot attend your wedding, but he has already told me about it and given the gifts he prepared to your steward."

"Thank you, sister-in-law." Xiao Hu bowed slightly.

Ding Yingqiu also bowed, her expression showing some envy.

Because Huang Qing is far superior to her in both looks and figure.

Moreover, she also sensed that Huang Qing was now a martial artist, and his strength should be no less than her own.

"Then the three of us will head back first," Huang Qing said with a smile.

"Sister-in-law, let me see you out," Ding Yingqiu said.

"No need, you can continue to attend to the other guests." Huang Qing waved his hand: "When the master returns, Xiao Hu and his sister-in-law can come and visit us again."

"I'll definitely go," Xiao Hu laughed. "I'm also looking forward to hearing about Brother Lin's exploits and triumphs on the battlefield."

Huang Qing smiled, but she was actually a little worried inside.

After all, her husband was fighting a war abroad, and his fate was uncertain.

Just as she was about to leave, she suddenly caught a glimpse of something emerging from the horizon.

When I looked over, I was completely stunned.

On the eastern horizon, a giant red worm flew through the air, followed by a sky full of red clouds that scattered in all directions.

"What is that?" Huang Qing asked.

Hongluan shook her head.

Chu Rengong frowned.

She is a member of the Immortal Execution Society and possesses some special abilities.

Even from a great distance, she could sense the deathly aura contained within the crimson cloud.

"How dare they! How many people have been sacrificed!" she muttered to herself.

By this time, others had also witnessed this scene, and the entire wedding was thrown into chaos. Many people stopped eating and ran home.

Xiao Hu and Ding Yingqiu looked extremely unhappy. They ignored the relatives running around and just stared at the red clouds in the distance.

Soon, the riots spread throughout the city, and everywhere there was talk of panic.

Chu Rengong said, "Madam, it's time to go back. This red mist is very strange. It's safer for us to stay at home."

Huang Qing nodded slightly, then said to Xiao Hu, "You guys be careful too, we're leaving now."

Xiao Hu and Ding Yingqiu both nodded gently.

The three then left Xiaohu's house. Because of the fear and unease, unrest inevitably broke out on the street.

Some so-called martial arts practitioners started making a ruckus, laughing loudly, jumping around on the rooftop, and shouting nonsense like "A strange phenomenon has appeared in the sky, our generation will prosper!"

They're either taking the opportunity to commit murder for revenge, or they're doing something despicable.

Several martial artists, seeing Huang Qing and his two companions, were overcome with lust and pounced on them.

Unfortunately, he was captured at first sight.

With a single claw strike, Hongluan sent a large man flying.

Chu Rengong drew his sword, spun around, and slit the throats of both men.

Huang Qing didn't even make a move, which frightened the other martial artists away.

But they were unwilling to leave just like that, and instead shouted, "You three women, don't you know we are the Seven Heroes of Heluo? How dare you kill our brothers? You're courting death. If you have the guts, state your names!"

Huang Qing snorted and said sternly, "My husband is Li Lin, the magistrate of Yulin County and the military commander of the Southern Route. How dare you block my way?"

She was born into an official family and knew how to project an imposing presence.

Upon hearing this, the remaining four martial artists immediately ran away.

There was no hesitation.

There's no way around it; a person's name is like a tree's shadow.

The Paper Prince of Yulin County—who in the martial arts world wouldn't be afraid of him upon hearing this name?

The three of them returned home, and Zhang Afu closed the door and hurriedly asked, "Madam, what should we do? What is that red mist?"

"I don't know either." Huang Qing shook his head: "Tell everyone in the family to be careful and not to go out these days."

"Madam, may I say something?" Chu Rengong suddenly said.

"of course can."

Chu Rengong said, "We should buy more grain before the red fog arrives."

"This...that's right." Huang Qing suddenly realized: "Everyone in the family comes to me to get money to buy grain from various grain shops. Buy as much as you can, even if it's expensive, it doesn't matter, understand?"

Zhang Afu realized what was happening and immediately went to carry it out.

Soon, all the servants of the Li family went off in twos and threes to buy grain with silver.

As evening approached and the red mist was about to descend, almost all of the servants of the Li family returned.

In the front hall, there were dozens of bags piled up, all filled with grain.

Zhang Afu sighed, "The price has more than tripled. Those grain merchants should all be killed."

"It's good enough that we can even buy it," Chu Rengong said with a smile.

But at this moment, Huang Qing suddenly frowned: "Why haven't A Qing, A Hong, and De Zi returned?"

"Am I late in getting back?"

"Or were you robbed? Something's happened!"

Everyone was talking a lot.

"Madam, why don't we go out and look for her?"

Hearing the commotion outside, Huang Qing shook his head: "No need. If something really happens, you might not come back even if you go out. I'd rather they take the money and leave; at least they'll be alive."

Chu Rengong said, "Should I go out and look for them?"

At that moment, there was a sudden knock on the door.

The gatekeeper, Zhang Afu, ran over and pressed himself against the gate, asking, "Who is it!"

"I am Fang Zhanbo, the head constable. I have been ordered by the county magistrate to lead twenty-three brothers to stand guard for the Li family in the vicinity."

Zhang Afu turned to look at Huang Qing.

Huang Qing nodded to him.

Zhang Afu said, "Then I'll have to trouble Officer Fang."

“No trouble at all. All of us brothers have received great kindness from County Magistrate Li, and we are all deeply honored to be able to do something small for the Li family.”
