I'm here in the martial arts world just to find love.

Yesterday, he rode his horse recklessly in the street, nearly injuring someone. Relying on his status as a prince, he acted with complete impunity.

Today, he changed into his groom's attire again, leading a wedding procession, intending to marry a bride from a certain family.

As Jiang Chao watched, he gradually realized something was wrong.

Why is this wedding procession heading towards the inn where I am?

Under Jiang Chao's astonished gaze, the wedding procession stopped in front of the inn where he was staying. From Jiang Chao's position, he could see the profile of the "groom".

To be honest, this Nangong County official is quite handsome; not the best, but not the worst either.

He is naturally the one who is universally acknowledged as superior.

A servant stepped forward and knocked on the inn's door.

Because Jiang Chao booked the inn for several days at a high price of two thousand taels of silver, it has not been welcoming guests recently, and the gate has naturally been operating according to the patron's schedule.

Upon hearing the knock, the innkeeper's waiter, who was resting in the inner room of the inn, came out to the door.

As he walked, he called out to himself from inside the house.

  

"Esteemed guests, our inn is not open to guests today..."

Before he could finish speaking, the door opened, and the waiter was stunned to see the huge crowd at the entrance.

He rubbed his eyes and looked again, but nothing had changed.

In other words, what he was seeing wasn't a hallucination, but a real event?!

"This, young master, what is this...?"

The waiter didn't understand the situation.

They assumed their inn's guests had already arranged for someone to marry out today. So, why did the wedding procession arrive so early in the morning?

Thinking back to the three strikingly beautiful women with distinct personalities among the guests, the waiter secretly wondered which one it was...

Dressed in his wedding attire, Nangong Hao remained expressionless and did not utter a word.

The one who spoke was one of the two guards who had been protecting Nangong Hao when he rode his horse through the street yesterday.

"Waiter, may I ask you, did two men and three women check into your shop yesterday?"

The servant who spoke was another subordinate of Nangong Hao, the same guard from yesterday.

This person had a sinister face, a somewhat hoarse voice, and spoke in a flat tone, revealing no emotion.

"Sir, I've always been a customer of Laifu Inn..."

With a swish, a huge silver note was handed over.

The waiter's eyes widened, but he didn't dare to accept the silver note. He shrank back, betraying Jiang Chao and his group.

Jiang Chao, who had been concealing his presence, watched the scene unfolding at the entrance of the inn not far away, feeling utterly puzzled.

Chu's sixth sense came true so quickly, as expected.

But why is this young prince making such a show of force?

Jiang Chao remembered that they had only watched the excitement from afar yesterday.

After Nangong Hao revealed his identity and background, the official who was originally going to stop him immediately slid to his knees and let him ride away. During this time, neither Nangong Hao nor his two guards noticed them.

Could it be... that this prince has other subordinates secretly following him, and that someone among them noticed them?

With many questions in his mind, Jiang Chao decided to stop hiding his intentions. He leaned out of the window and shouted down:

"Hey, you over there, groom, you've come to the wrong place!"

Nangong Hao looked up at the sound and saw the boy leaning out of a window on the second floor, but he did not speak.

Instead, the guard who had questioned the waiter earlier looked at Jiang Chao and coldly demanded:

Who are you?

Jiang Chao rested his arms on the windowsill and said with a smile:

"My name is Jiang Chao, and I am one of the two men and three women you just asked about."

Upon hearing this, the sinister-looking man sneered:

"That's perfect, saves my lord the trouble of searching elsewhere. Now, let me ask you, what is your relationship with those three women who were traveling with you?"

Jiang Chao said, "What's it to you?"

"Hmph!" The man snorted coldly, and before he could make any move, a whooshing sound suddenly came from the air.

Jiang Chao tilted his head, as if he hadn't noticed the attack just now, and said arrogantly, "What are you humming about? Your master hasn't said anything, and you, a servant, are just babbling on and on. Aren't you noisy? Besides, my patience is limited. With so many of you blocking the door, people will think something serious has happened."

"I am Nangong Hao, the Nangong from the Nangong family."

At this moment, Nangong Hao, who was riding on horseback, suddenly spoke.

He looked at Jiang Chao and said calmly, "I have come here today to marry Chu Ning, the daughter of the Chu family. Is she here?"

Upon hearing this, Jiang Chao was taken aback. What was going on?

When did Lady Chu... get sold out by her family?

Jiang Chao nodded subconsciously and said:

"She's definitely here, but... who sent you, Prince?"

"How dare you be so disrespectful to the Prince!"

Shouts and reprimands rang out from within the wedding procession.

Jiang Chao, however, did not care at all, staring directly into Nangong Hao's eyes on horseback below.

Nangong Hao waved his hand and then said, "Naturally, I was acting on the orders of my elders and following the matchmaker's instructions."

The commotion outside the inn had already woken up the people staying in the next room.

At this moment, when Jiang Chao asked this question, Chu, the heroine mentioned by the prince, looked furious.

Since Chu Ning left home, she has never relied on the Chu family in the slightest. Why would she think of her now that the family is about to survive?

Don't those elders in the clan and his father know how to write the word "shame"?!

"Miss Chu, what do you think? This person has come to propose marriage to you on the orders of their elders... Oh no, this wedding procession has even arrived. They've come directly to pick you up."

Su E held the girl's hand and said softly, "What you don't know, we will certainly not let you suffer any injustice."

Qin Shaoling has already assembled his spear.

As for Qin Yueyao, this scholar took out a book from somewhere and was quickly flipping through it.

The heroine Chu shook her head, lowered her voice, and said resentfully:

"I've never heard of any marriage contract I have. Either my father didn't have time to tell me, or this Nangong Hao is just talking nonsense!"

After hearing her words, Jiang Chao immediately understood Chu's attitude and turned to Nangong Hao, who was still standing at the inn's entrance, saying:

"Brother Prince down here, Miss Chu just said that she knows nothing about any marriage contract and will not honor it. Just give up on that idea. Take your people and go back to where you came from. Don't get in the way of other people's shops and cause trouble."

As soon as she finished speaking, a delicate fragrance wafted over. The female knight-errant peeked out from beside the river tide, looking down at Nangong Hao.

"Your Highness, please return. Go find the elder from the Chu family who made the marriage agreement with your elder and have him fulfill it personally. As for this heroine, I have had no further connection with the Chu family since leaving them!"

This is obviously nonsense. Although Lady Chu was very dissatisfied with her father, she would not sever ties with the Chu family.

Hearing what the heroine Chu said, and considering that the two of them had peeked out from the same window...

Nangong Hao's expression darkened. "In that case, let's drop this matter."

Nangong Hao turned his horse around and took the lead into the alley on one side.
