1303. Changes

Wu Yue looked at the sundial.

Just the right time.

But Li Ying did not come at the agreed time.

"Is there something that delayed you?"

He smiled and started decorating his home.

Today is a good day to be selective.

It's time to decorate the house while Li Ying is still here.

After a while, a few friends who are very close to each other will come over to witness today's small etiquette. When thinking of this, Wu Yue felt a little excited.

In a cruel life where ideals have been swallowed up by dark reality, only his beloved can give him comfort. This small interest in real life is the only light in Wu Yue's life, warming his life.

After a while.

All the friends I had made an appointment with came.

Two of them were Zhang Ming and Lu Yu, his close subordinates in the twelfth-level prison.

"Eh? Where's your sister-in-law? Why aren't you here?" Lu Yu held the gift he had prepared in his hand and said with a smile, "Congratulations, Mr. Wu, I finally got what I wanted today, and I can hold this beauty back in my arms."

Zhang Ming threw a blond belt of a fourth-grade immortal weapon over and said: "Be careful, Mr. Wu, don't dislike it. My official rank is too low, and the only thing I can bring out is of this rank. "

Wu Yue was not polite and said: "My brothers don't talk about the two families."

In the meantime, some very good friends arrived.

Wu Yue had a high level of cultivation, but a low official rank, and he was not very adaptable, so he only had three or five good friends, and they all soon arrived.

Working together, the whole courtyard was quickly decorated warm and festive.

Two big red lanterns were hung at the gate.

The yard was filled with the aroma of wine.

But at this time, Li Ying had not arrived yet.

what happened?

Everyone looked at Wu Yue.

Wu Yue frowned and said, "Maybe I'm too busy with my duties at the Zhinv Courtyard. I'll go take a look. Everyone, let's drink and eat meat first. I'll come back as soon as I go."

Asking Lu Yu and Zhang Ming to help greet the guests, Wu Yue left the house.

Li Ying is the weaver girl of the Weaver Girl's Courtyard in the Sixth House of Daxianting. She is responsible for weaving fairy brocade, cutting fairy clothes, embroidery, etc.

The Ministry of Industry can be regarded as the logistics department of the entire Great Immortal Court. It is in charge of the creation of immortal weapons, immortal clothes, cultivation of immortal food, etc., etc., so there are many immortals on Meteor Island who are engaged in auxiliary immortal arts training, just like the life players in online games, many Auxiliary immortals who are proficient in magic and master unique secret techniques are valued and treated with resources, and are not even inferior to the powerful fighting generals.

Wu Yue soon arrived at the Zhinv Courtyard.

He comes here often and is familiar with the roads.

"Miss Li Ying?" A female steward of the Zhinv Courtyard heard this and said with a surprised look on her face: "She has not been on duty at the Zhinv Courtyard for several days. General Wu, don't you know?"

"What?"

Wu Yue was stunned when he heard this.

Yingying didn’t tell herself.

"Can you tell me that you are taking leave for something?" Wu Yue asked.

The female steward shook her head and said: "I never asked for leave. Five days ago, he suddenly stopped coming without any warning and delayed a lot of things. The chief steward was very angry about this and was afraid that he would be expelled from Zhinv Yard."

When Wu Yue heard this, he immediately became anxious.

Based on his understanding of Li Ying, such a thing would never happen unless...

Could it be that Yingying encountered some difficulty?

"Thank you."

He turned and ran.

Unlike Wu Yue who lives alone,

At the same time, Li Ying has family in Tianjiang City.

She has been dependent on her parents since she was a child.

Her father, Li Zhenjian, was an old miner in the island's underground city, and her mother, Lin Yi, was a senior Weaver Girl at the Weaver Girl Academy in the past. The reason why Li Ying was able to enter the Weaver Girl Academy was because she had her mother's quota.

After a stick of incense.

Wu Yue came to Li Ying's house.

The Li family is located in the relatively remote Hongliu District of Tianjiang City.

Most of the people living in this area are minor immortals, and the atmosphere of secular life is stronger.

Outside the gate outside Wuyue Station, I was surprised to find that the Li family courtyard was also decorated with lanterns and decorations, both inside and outside. There were also two red lanterns hanging at the door, and neighbors came to help. It was clear from this look that She is preparing for her daughter's marriage.

Could it be that Yingying didn't go to Zhinuyuan in the past few days, but the whole family was busy working on today's affairs together?

Judging from this posture, he should be preparing to "add fragrance" to his daughter.

There is a very old rule in the fairy world. If a daughter in the family gets married, the girl's relatives and friends will be gathered together the day before the wedding to celebrate and entertain her, which is called "adding fragrance".

Wu Yue felt relieved.

Also a little moved.

Yingying's parents have always been kind to her.

He walked quickly to the door.

"Uncle Zhang, are you busy too?"

Seeing his neighbor Zhang Youfang at the door, Wu Yue smiled and said hello.

When Zhang Youfang saw Wu Yue, her expression changed slightly, as if she had seen a ghost. A look of embarrassment flashed across her face. She turned around and left without saying anything.

Wu Yue was slightly startled.

He didn't think much and went straight into the yard.

The place was filled with banquets, and a banquet was being held. There were people drinking and talking, and it was very lively. There were more than a hundred people, including neighbors and some relatives and friends of the Li family.

Seeing Wu Yue come in, the originally lively and noisy scene suddenly froze.

The crowd who were drinking and giving orders all seemed to be immobilized. They looked at Wu Yue with expressions on their faces frozen.

The noise stopped abruptly.

"You...why are you here?"

Li Ying's mother, Lin Yi, happened to come out of the front hall and was pouring wine for the guests with a wine tray. When she saw Wu Yue, her expression suddenly changed. The wine tray in her hand fell to the ground with a crash. The cups and plates were in a mess, and her expression changed drastically.

At this time, no matter how stupid Wu Yue was, he realized that something was wrong.

"Aunt, this is..." He wanted to ask something.

Without saying a word, Lin Yi immediately took Wu Yue's hand, turned around and walked out of the door, whispering: "Nephew Wu, it's not convenient to talk here, you come with me..."

After pulling Wu Yue out of the alley where the Li family courtyard was, Lin Yi knelt down in front of Wu Yue without saying a word.

"Ah, aunt, what does this mean? Get up, get up quickly."

Wu Yue was startled and quickly helped Lin Yi up.

Lin Yi stood up tremblingly. Before she could speak, tears started to flow down her face. She said, "My dear nephew, our Li family is sorry for you. Yingying can't marry you... She... She is married to someone else." , today is her wedding day, tomorrow morning at 6 o'clock, she will marry Li Yuanchen, the daughter of Director Li of the Ministry of Industry."

"What?"

When Wu Yue heard this, his scalp felt numb as if he had been struck by lightning.

"What exactly is going on?"

He couldn't believe what he was hearing.

Lin Yi said: "Five days ago, Yingying's father accidentally broke into the restricted area while mining in the underground city and stole the Purple Immortal Crystal. He was caught and everyone got the stolen goods. He was about to convulse and extract the marrow. Lingchi executed him... ...The Li family made a condition, only Yingying

Only by marrying Li Yuanchen as a concubine can his father be rescued, otherwise..."

At this point, Lin Yi burst into tears and couldn't speak any more.

How could she not know who her daughter was in her heart?

But what can be done?

You can't just watch the pillar of your family being tortured to death by having his marrow extracted, right?

The Li family has already thought of all the ways they should think of.

All that can be done has been done.

The Li family spent almost all their savings on this, but to no avail.

In the end, he was forced to marry his daughter.

"How could uncle steal the Immortal Crystal? This is impossible." Wu Yue clenched his fists and said loudly: "Uncle is not that kind of person. Someone must have framed him. Auntie, why didn't you tell me about this matter? Maybe I Can……"

Lin Yi dozed off Wu Yue's words and said: "My child, the matter has come to an end. It is useless to worry about other things. The director of the Ministry of Industry has a high position and is not someone you can shake. Yingying does not want you to be involved in this kind of thing. Li The family is very powerful. If we want to deal with you...son, let's go and forget Yingying, our Li family is sorry for you."

"No." Wu Yue shook his head: "Things must be turning around. There is still a way. Let me try..."

The words have not yet finished.

"Haha, is this General Wu?"

A gentle and chilling voice came.

When Lin Yi heard this voice, her expression suddenly changed, showing a look of horror. She slowly turned around and said, "Steward Qian, don't get me wrong, I..."

"Haha, what did Mrs. Lin say? I'm just a small steward of the Li Mansion. How dare I be angry with you." At the entrance of the alley, stood a middle-aged man in gray robe, with his hands folded in his sleeves and an expression on his face. Yin but not yang.

Wu Yue took a step forward and said, "Yes, I am Wu Yue."

Butler Qian smiled and said: "Haha, my young master has known for a long time that General Wu will come. He is already waiting for you at Li's house. Please come."

Lin Yi was frightened and said: "Steward Qian, please listen to my explanation..."

Butler Qian glanced at Lin Yi and said calmly: "What? My young master's words don't work anymore?"

Lin Yi suddenly didn't dare to say anything.

Several people returned to Li's yard.

The nearly one hundred relatives and friends who had come to attend the banquet were already standing silently on both sides of the courtyard. They all looked embarrassed and fearful, and they did not dare to express their anger or raise their heads.

Center of the front steps.

An aristocratic young man wearing a purple brocade robe and fairy clothes, with a fair face, a little blue eye sockets, and an appearance of excessive drinking. The old man was sitting on the chair on the ground, with his eyes slightly closed and dozing off.

Beside him, there were two rows of heavily armored and sword-wielding soldiers with sharp eyes.

Li Ying, dressed in a rosy crown and phoenix, with a bright red wedding dress and a graceful figure, knelt at the feet of the young noble prince with her head lowered, as if she was pleading for something, but the young noble prince had a sarcastic smile on his lips. , no response.

Seeing Wu Yue come in, Li Ying turned around.

A trace of sadness flashed deep in her beautiful eyes.

She was still kneeling, her face was cold, and she scolded sternly: "Wu, who asked you to come? Didn't you say, stop pestering me? Today is my happy day, why don't you get out of here?"

Wu Yue was startled, and just as he was about to say something, Lin Yi, who was next to him, quickly pulled his sleeve and motioned for him to leave quickly.

"Hahaha, why are you so pretentious?" Your Excellency chuckled and said, "I have clearly investigated the details of the two of you. Haha, I am not afraid to tell you two clearly. I am here today just to wait. Wu Yuelai, this pair of fateful mandarin ducks met, haha, it’s very interesting, isn’t it?”
