Chapter 723 is indeed very beautiful.
...
Tu Jiuying led his caravan brothers from the Northwest to Huangshadu. Although it was difficult at first, the caravan had horses and quickly gained a foothold in Huangshadu.
As long as they maintain good relations with the government, this place becomes their domain.
In recent years, the trade between Northwest China and the mainland has flourished, with a constant stream of merchants coming and going. Most of them take this route, as it saves time and effort.
Those merchants were all very wealthy. At first, they didn't rob everything; they only took a third to half, and robbed a few times a month, which was enough to support the caravan brothers. As for the merchants whose goods were robbed, reporting it to the authorities was useless, so they could only accept their bad luck.
After two years, that's enough to build up a family fortune.
All of this was obtained by Tu Jiuying and his brothers from the caravan.
The brothers in the caravan trusted her even more than the old leader back then.
Her marriage was the most important event for the caravan.
People in the martial arts world don't rush things, nor do they care about formalities like marriage vows. If they find someone they like and they bow to heaven and earth, they're married.
However, on the caravan's territory, the brothers still wanted to make Tu Jiuying's wedding even more lively.
Before dawn, the entire oasis was filled with the continuous sounds of firecrackers and music. Lu Yangyang was awakened by these sounds and got up to see two maids busy hanging red silk ribbons outside the door.
Peeking out, I saw red lanterns hanging at the entrance.
Lu Yangyang pointed to the lanterns and asked, "Do we need to hang lanterns here too?"
The maid nodded quickly, "The brothers said that the gang leader's wedding is a big event. These red silks and lanterns were specially purchased yesterday. They are hung in every courtyard of our gang leader's mansion, and also in the courtyards of the gang, to celebrate the gang leader's wedding!"
Lu Yangyang stared blankly at the lanterns hanging under the eaves.
Upon arriving, she noticed the layout of the area. Due to environmental constraints, the houses were all sturdy and durable wooden huts, resembling a typical village, and were built in a staggered fashion along the lakeside from the outside in. The same was true for the Chief's residence. The wooden huts couldn't be built like the mansions of wealthy families in the north, but the dozens of wooden huts clustered together still looked quite magnificent.
Lanterns are hung everywhere!
Lu Yangyang looked up at the sky. It was clear and sunny early in the morning, so it should be a good day.
It's good to hang lanterns!
Lu Yangyang glanced at the soft red silk beside her, reached out and tore it off, then threw it into the room. "It's such a waste to use such fine material to hang silk."
The two maids exchanged glances. They dared not provoke Lu Yangyang, and since no one would actually check each room, they quickly said, "We bought a lot of wedding cakes and fruits for the wedding today. Let's go and get some more for the young lady. She can eat them before attending the wedding. The ceremony is at noon!"
The two quickly turned and ran.
Lu Yangyang entered the house, picked up the red silk that had been thrown on the ground, and handed it to Hongyu, who had already returned. "All the courtyards of this caravan are decorated with red silk and lanterns. It's going to be very lively today."
Hongyu took the red silk and almost instantly understood her meaning, nodding with a smile, "What you say is true, it will surely be very lively."
Although the others didn't know what riddle the two were playing, they were also secretly looking forward to it.
Since they were kidnapped, these past two days have been the only comfortable ones they've had. Although they're still living in fear, staying with Miss Lu means they have food and drink and no one will suddenly barge in. They don't know how long this will last, but with Miss Lu around, they feel a strange sense of security.
After breakfast, Lu Yangyang took Huang Sumu to Lin Wuji's place.
Lin Wuji had already changed into a wedding outfit, and with his face so dark it was impossible to tell that he was the one getting married today.
Upon seeing her enter, Lin Wuji even turned his face away, seemingly unwilling to see her.
That's strange; it's not like him at all.
Lu Yangyang didn't tease him. She went over and lifted his arm to take his pulse. Then she took out a small bottle from her bag and poured out three pills for him. "These are for saving your life. If the wound reopens, take one. As long as you're not completely dead, it will keep you alive."
This medicine wasn't something she developed herself; she didn't have that ability. It was given to her by her master, Wen Yu.
This small bottle is worth a fortune; if it weren't for the need to cooperate with Lin Wuji, she wouldn't have been willing to give it away even a fraction of it.
Standing next to Lin Wuji, Zhan Yue quickly took a small box, put away the medicine, gave one to Lin Wuji, kept one for himself, and gave the other one to Lin Wuji's other guard.
To ensure that in case of any unforeseen circumstances, they could definitely get the medicine into Lin Wuji's mouth.
Lin Wuji was speechless for a moment, and the gloom he felt about marrying Tu Jiuying dissipated somewhat.
He looked at Lu Yangyang and, taking advantage of the fact that no one else was around, lowered his voice and said to her, "I won't hold you back."
Lu Yangyang nodded and whispered, "Be careful."
If a fight were to break out, Lin Wuji would be in grave danger. After all, his injuries are so severe that he can barely stand up, let alone fight.
There were still members of the caravan inside. The two spoke in hushed tones, not daring to say much. After giving important instructions, Lu Yangyang left Huang Sumu with Lin Wuji just in case, and then went with the others to find Tu Jiuying.
Tu Jiuying had also changed into a red dress, not the complicated and cumbersome style of an ordinary bride, but a simple and neat red dress. Her hair was styled up, which made her look less fierce and more gentle.
Tu Jiuying is tall and slender with striking features. Although her skin is not fair, her eyes are bright and expressive. She is already beautiful without makeup, but when she does, she becomes even more radiant.
Seeing Lu Yangyang enter, Tu Jiuying smiled and waved to her, raising an eyebrow triumphantly: "How was it?"
Lu Yangyang showered her with compliments: "Sister Jiuying is the most beautiful bride I've ever seen!"
"You have such a sweet tongue! Here, take this big red envelope to share in the good fortune, and may you find your ideal husband someday!" Tu Jiuying was in a great mood and reached out to take a red envelope from the tray carried by the maid and handed it to Lu Yangyang.
Lu Yangyang accepted it, her eyes crinkling with gratitude, "Thank you for your kind words, Sister Jiuying!"
"Master, it's almost time. We can go and pick up Young Master Lin to go to the main hall. Uncle Three and the others are already waiting," the maid whispered as she entered.
Tu Jiuying stood up and smiled at Lu Yangyang, "Let's go together!"
Lu Yangyang followed her out. Tu Jiuying did not wear a veil. When the maid tried to hand it to her, she refused: "I am on my own turf now. I am marrying him, not marrying him. Why would I need this thing? I can't even see clearly. It's too much trouble."
Lu Yangyang agreed, "Sister Jiuying is right! Sister Jiuying is the star today!"
Tu Jiuying laughed heartily and took Lu Yangyang's hand as they went to get married.
Lu Yangyang looked up at her and thought that Tu Jiuying was indeed very beautiful today.
