Chapter 321: The Greatest Battle

"The Qian Palace congratulates Duke Gao on his wedding!"

"The Great Wilderness Sword Sect congratulates Duke Gao and Prince Gao on their happy marriage!"

"The Jiuya Shogunate wishes Duke Gao and Prince Gao a loving and long life together!"

"The Dongyang Prefecture wishes the Duke a happy wedding and a happy marriage!"

"The Guangling Prefecture..."

"The Jiumen Governor's Mansion..."

"The Tianya Chamber of Commerce..."

"The Baojun Company..."

On the wedding day, guests from all sides gathered. Whether it was aristocratic families, government agencies, or even sects of cultivation outside the world, they all came to congratulate.

This was an unprecedented grand occasion that had never happened in the entire capital.

Whether it was according to the title of Duke Wei or Duke Gao, they were both extremely prominent family backgrounds. In addition, this wedding was witnessed by Emperor Jialing himself, so the whole wedding involved a lot of red tape, making the whole wedding process very lengthy, but it also added a lot of highlights.

As the protagonists of this wedding, Lu Yu and Qin Yanzhen are naturally the focus of everyone, attracting the envy of others. Unfortunately, no matter who they are, they don't really take this wedding seriously, it's just a show.

After all, the two have not even revealed their true identities to each other, so how can they really take this wedding seriously?

"Have you seen Lou Tinghai?"

When Lu Yu and Qin Yanzhen held hands and walked up to the high platform for offering sacrifices to the sky, Qin Yanzhen suddenly leaned close to his ear and whispered.

Lu Yu turned his head slightly, glanced at her with the corner of his eyes, and then nodded imperceptibly.

As the Snow Mountain Sword Saint who carries the hope of the entire Northern Wei Kingdom, Lou Tinghai stood aside to watch the ceremony. The two just passed by him. Lu Yu naturally couldn't have failed to notice this outstanding and powerful person.

"Who do you think will win today between him and Master Qi Yang?" Qin Yanzhen asked again.

At this time, all the guests were watching the ceremony from all sides, their eyes were fixed on the two people's every move on the high platform, but no one would have thought that the two newlyweds were actually talking about something completely unrelated to the wedding...

"Isn't Lou Tinghai the helper you found? You should know his strength inside and out, why are you asking me instead?" Lu Yu asked curiously.

Qin Yanzhen smiled and said, "Aren't you curious?"

Lu Yu said, "I am curious, but we probably won't have the chance to watch the outcome of the battle between the two today, right? Besides, since Lou Tinghai is the person you arranged, you must have arranged the script. I guess the two will fight until the sky collapses and the earth cracks, and they will be inseparable, but they will never be able to tell the winner, right?"

Qin Yanzhen couldn't help but show a look of approval: "Wang Lang is really smart! I originally wanted to remind you, but I didn't expect you to have already guessed it... In this case, please concentrate on following the script, don't be distracted, let's solve this matter once and for all!"

Lu Yu smiled faintly, and suddenly understood in her heart. In fact, she was just afraid that she would escape at the last minute, so she deliberately reminded herself like this.

She thought too much about this. As the saying goes, wealth and honor are sought in danger. In fact, after learning the secret of the Yuan family, how could he be willing to escape in advance without seeing the so-called Panwu treasure with his own eyes?

Next, they began to offer sacrifices to the heavens.

This was a unique part of the wedding of the royal family of the Great Wu Dynasty, praying to the gods and asking for good blessings. Qin Yanzhen was a duke, and the marriage was granted by Emperor Jialing himself, so the form of the wedding naturally had to respect the highest standards of the Wu Dynasty royal family.

Lu Yu and Qin Yanzhen each lit a special incense stick, kowtowed three times, and then used their arm strength to throw the incense sticks in their hands into the sky at the same time.

Under the stimulation of the true essence, the incense sticks flew straight into the sky, leaving two faint afterimages, like a dragon and a phoenix entwined with each other, soaring into the sky.

The eyes of the whole audience were focused on the two phantoms.

The phantoms of the dragon and the phoenix flew higher and higher, danced faster and faster, and finally turned into a gorgeous colorful glow, illuminating the entire sky.

This indicated that the gods had responded and promised them good blessings, and their marriage had been approved by the gods.

The whole audience suddenly burst into thunderous applause.

This means that they have officially become a couple. Although there will be a grand banquet and various etiquette later, the most critical step has been completed.

Lu Yu couldn't help but look at Qin Yanzhen beside him. Qin Yanzhen happened to look at him. The two looked at each other and were silent.

"Wang Lang, you are finally Zhenzhen's husband!"

Qin Yanzhen lowered her head slightly, and a rare charm appeared on her pretty face.

Lu Yu knew that all this was just a show, but his heart couldn't help but jump twice for no reason. Obviously, this Daluo Saint has never taken off her disguise, and she is so beautiful that it is hard to control herself. If she completely reveals her true face, how thrilling it would be?

"Your script should be entering the climax soon, right?" Lu Yu asked.

Qin Yanzhen smiled but didn't answer. Instead, she took Lu Yu's hand and walked down the high platform with him in the spotlight.

As expected, as soon as the two of them stepped down from the high platform, Snow Mountain Sword Saint Lou Tinghai could no longer hold back and took the initiative to walk out of the crowd, saying in a loud voice:

"Duke Gao has been guarding the border for many years. Although she has fought against our Northern Wei many times, we also respect her bravery and good fighting skills. She is a real heroine! It is also a good story that she can find a good partner and retire today!"

"However, although Duke Gao has retired, the dispute between our Northern Wei and Wu Dynasty has not ended! I am not talented, but I would like to take advantage of the opportunity of Duke Gao's wedding day to make friends with martial arts and see if there are really heroes as talented as Duke Gao in this dignified Wu Dynasty!"

"If there is no one in the dignified Wu Dynasty who can be Lou's opponent, why don't you all learn from Duke Gao and retire as soon as possible, so as not to die tragically on the battlefield and lose your life in vain!"

As soon as these words came out, the scene was like a pot of boiling water, and the crowd was indignant.

"How shameless!"

"You don't know what you can do!"

"A little sword master of the Northern Wei Dynasty dares to come to our Great Wu Dynasty to make trouble. It's outrageous!"

"Our Wu Dynasty is full of heroes and talents. It's no problem to deal with you, Lou Tinghai!"

"Are you very powerful, Lou Tinghai? Why don't you tell me what you will do if you lose?"

...

Faced with the scolding of the crowd, Lou Tinghai said nothing, and suddenly drew his sword in anger and stabbed it out.

Suddenly, the whole place was whistling with cold wind, and the cold air was biting. A hundred feet of ice appeared out of thin air, stretching behind Lou Tinghai, as if he was a demon god in the world of ice and snow.

"If I lose today, I will never set foot in Wu Dynasty again in my life, and will immediately return to Northern Wei and advise His Majesty the Emperor to withdraw our border line by 300 miles!"

"If no one can defeat me today, then please ask your Wu Dynasty to take the initiative to move the border line back by 300 miles, how about that?"

Lou Tinghai said loudly, while looking at the national teacher Qi Yang Shangren beside him with a sharp gaze.

Everyone at the scene suddenly stopped talking and fell silent.

All eyes were focused on Qi Yang Shangren.

In fact, everyone already knew that Lou Tinghai and Qi Yang Shangren would have a battle today, but they didn't expect Lou Tinghai to be so fierce, not only inviting a battle on the spot, but also temporarily increasing the stakes, making this battle not only related to reputation and national destiny, but also directly related to the cession of land area.

However, since the other party dared to make a bet, if I didn't agree, it would be too cowardly. But this matter is of great importance, who dares to make the decision and agree without authorization?

At the critical moment, Master Qi Yang laughed loudly, stepped out of the crowd, and said in a loud voice: "In this case, I will meet you! If I lose, I will immediately advise His Majesty to withdraw the border line 300 miles!"

After saying that, Master Qi Yang waved his hand, and the cloak on his body flew up, unfolding in the air like a scroll, and was blown by the strong wind.

Waves of heat surged on the cloak, confronting the cold air coming from Lou Tinghai, offsetting each other, and not falling behind at all.

The two sides were already on the verge of a war, and the battle of the ages was about to start.

At this time, everyone's attention was focused on Lou Tinghai and Master Qi Yang, and it was impossible to move their eyes.

Just as the two took off and launched their own attacks in the air, Qin Yanzhen suddenly smiled softly and put her bright lips close to Lu Yu's ear.

"Husband, now it's time to do our own things!"
