Chapter 144 My Wife, You're Very Popular
After the people from the five major sects and five major gangs left, the hall temporarily returned to calm.
They were quick-witted and immediately smoothed things over, saying, "The wedding will continue."
Then, the joyous and noisy sounds of gongs and drums rang out again.
"Yelü Xueqing, come with me."
Just as everyone was all smiles and preparing to send the newlyweds to their bridal chamber, a group of men in black on horseback stormed into the Qi residence.
The leader on horseback was none other than Leng Feng, also known as Yelü Chengyuan.
At this moment, Leng Feng and his men were all wearing trousers under long robes, belts around their waists, and boots on their feet. Their Khitan attire was clean and neat, which further highlighted the ruggedness and fierceness of the grassland herdsmen.
Li Keyong and Li Maozhen were sitting side by side at this moment.
Li Keyong said, "This wedding is unusually lively."
Li Maozhen responded: "Indeed, it seems that this girl is indeed very popular."
Qi Yuxuan said to Lu Yuanchangming, "Didn't you take Leng Feng to the solitary confinement room in Luminglou?"
"I don't know, maybe the kid escaped," Lu Yuanchangming said.
Leng Feng reined in his horse and said to Qiu Ziyue, "Yuqing, come back to the grassland with me. Okay, that's your home."
Qiu Ziyue stepped forward with a smile, but was grabbed by Qi Yuxuan. Then, Qi Yuxuan pressed acupoints on Qiu Ziyue, rendering her unable to move.
Qi Yuxuan said, "Today is my wedding day. I'm letting you have a drink out of consideration for our past relationship. But don't even think about harming Ziyue again. Haven't you hurt her badly enough?"
Leng Feng said, "If you treat her badly, she deserves to be cherished by someone who loves her even more."
“Shut up! Ziyue’s heart belongs to me. You despicable man, you don’t deserve Ziyue,” Qi Yuxuan said.
“You defeated opponent, today is my wedding day and I don’t want to fight. Let go, I will not let Ziyue go,” Qi Yuxuan added.
"Aren't you afraid that after my sworn brother Yelü Abaoji unifies the grasslands, he will raze your Qi family and the Central Plains to the ground?" Leng Feng said.
"You rascal, so you're Yelü Abaoji's sworn brother? I formed an alliance with your sworn brother before, but who would have thought he would betray us and collude with that scoundrel Zhu Wen?"
“Go back and tell your sworn brother that I, Li Keyong, am ready to fight him at any time,” Li Keyong said.
“Yes, you want to conquer our Central Plains? I, Li Maozhen, will give you two words: ‘Dream on,’” Li Maozhen said.
Upon hearing this, Leng Feng said, "I have already laid a large ambush outside the Qi family. I advise you to return my Xue Qing to me, or I will make you pay."
"Hey, you little brat, are you blind? Can't you see the two little devils here?"
“We’ve deployed a large number of troops outside. If you dare to make a fuss here, be careful we send troops to wipe you out, leaving not a single one alive,” Li Maozhen said.
"Alright, Lao Li, don't hold it against me," Li Keyong said. He had just had a few drinks with Li Maozhen, and their previous grudges seemed to have been wiped clean, and they were now allies.
“You dare to mess with us? You’re all really stupid. No wonder Qiu girl likes Young Master Qi. Look at you, in terms of looks, intelligence, and martial arts, how can you compare to the Qi family boy?” Li Keyong said.
Leng Feng was so angry that his face turned dark red, but he dared not speak. He realized the seriousness of the problem.
He knew that Li Keyong and Li Maozhen were indeed notorious troublemakers throughout the country.
Li Maozhen then said, "Why don't you hurry up and leave? Do you want me to send out thousands of troops to crush you into dust?"
"Let's wait for Qiu to give you a song of demonic soul-severing. Today is her wedding day, and I don't want to fight with you. Get out of here."
Leng Feng thought for a moment, then looked at Qiu Ziyue. Seeing Qi Yuxuan holding Qiu Ziyue's hand tightly, his heart ached as if it were being torn apart.
He knew that if he let go now, Ziyue would truly become Qi Yuxuan's wife.
Unwilling to give up, he said to Qi Yuxuan, "Since I have risked my life to come here, why don't we have another match? If you beat me, I will leave."
Qi Yuxuan agreed.
Qi Yuxuan handed Qiu Ziyue over to Liu Xu, instructing Liu Xu to stay by Qiu Ziyue's side and protect her at all times.
He drew his longsword, preparing to fight Leng Feng again.
The winter wind howled through the training ground of the Qi family mansion. Leng Feng stood in the center, holding a long sword, his eyes blazing.
He gazed at Qi Yuxuan in the distance, a complex mix of emotions welling up inside him.
The wedding guests all moved to watch the event.
The two had a fierce duel before, and today they will face each other again.
Qi Yuxuan slowly walked forward, his steps steady and powerful, his eyes revealing determination and composure.
There seemed to be an invisible force pulling between the two, and a tense atmosphere filled the air.
At this moment, snowflakes began to fall from the sky, blending the two swordsmen, one in black and one in red, into the snowstorm, making them look exceptionally handsome and dashing.
Leng Feng gripped his longsword tightly and said coldly, "Today we will duel again and see who is the true strongman."
As soon as he finished speaking, Leng Feng charged forward, his longsword slicing through the air and creating a chilling gust of wind.
Qi Yuxuan quickly dodged to the side, avoiding the attack, and then thrust his sword at Leng Feng's right side.
Leng Feng was prepared; with a turn, he blocked Qi Yuxuan's attack.
The two men's swords clashed in mid-air, producing a crisp sound.
Every clash was like a deafening thunderclap.
Leng Feng's swordsmanship is sharp and swift, with each move carrying great power;
Qi Yuxuan, on the other hand, responded with flexible and varied swordsmanship, appearing to handle the situation with ease.
Snowflakes danced in the air, sword light flashed, and red and black intertwined to form a ball of flame, leaping and tumbling fiercely in the training ground, attracting the attention of the guests.
As Qiu Ziyue watched this scene, some hazy fragments of her memory seemed to surface. She recalled the sword and zither duel, where she held a precious sword and fought against Qi Yuxuan and Leng Feng.
With a clang and a clatter, she dodged and weaved, while Lu Yuanchangming sat beside her, giving her a powerful tonic and laughing with her.
Those trivial details gave her a headache; she had a bit of a headache.
Upon seeing this, Liu Xu hurriedly called Lu Yuanchangming over.
Lu Yuanchangming immediately gave Qiu Ziyue the pain-relieving medicine that Leng Feng had given her.
Qiu Ziyue slowly calmed down. She no longer wanted to recall the events, fearing it would give her a headache. She coldly watched the arena.
On the training ground, Qi Yuxuan, dressed in a red wedding gown, was quite eye-catching.
His handsome appearance, tall and strong physique, and sharp and elegant skills are truly admirable.
Many women in Yangzhou were heartbroken and wept at home after hearing that their idol, Qi Yuxuan, was getting married.
There are even rumors that several women attempted suicide at home but were rescued in time by their families.
Many of the women present couldn't take their eyes off Qi Yuxuan.
Although Leng Feng is also very handsome, he always pales in comparison to Qi Yuxuan.
Leng Feng gradually felt his strength waning during the duel.
Qi Yuxuan's swordsmanship was not only fast, but also unpredictable, making it difficult for him to grasp.
After several exchanges, Leng Feng realized that he was at a disadvantage, but he did not give up. Instead, he attacked even more desperately.
Qi Yuxuan saw through Leng Feng's intentions and became secretly wary.
He knew that Leng Feng was a formidable opponent and that he had to go all out to win.
So he adjusted his swordsmanship, adopting a defensive approach while waiting for Leng Feng to reveal a weakness.
Finally, in a fierce exchange of attacks, Leng Feng, due to his impatience, revealed a small opening.
Qi Yuxuan seized the opportunity and launched a swift counterattack, his longsword aimed directly at Leng Feng's throat.
Leng Feng was shocked and quickly retreated, but it was too late.
Qi Yuxuan's sword tip lightly touched Leng Feng's throat, and Leng Feng's face instantly turned pale.
He stopped what he was doing, stood there quietly, and stared at Qi Yuxuan.
"You lost." Qi Yuxuan sheathed his longsword, his tone calm yet authoritative.
Leng Feng took a deep breath and nodded: "Yes, I lost. Your swordsmanship is superior to mine, and I concede defeat."
Qi Yuxuan smiled slightly and sheathed his longsword: "Leng Feng, you can leave now. Keep your thoughts to yourself. Ziyue and I are already married."
Leng Feng looked at Qi Yuxuan, a hint of despair flashing in his eyes: "I lost, but I'm not reconciled. I'll come back again."
"Let's go," Leng Feng said disappointedly, leading his men away.
"Qiu Ziyue, quickly give me the antidote."
Just then, Zhao Wanqing brought Xiao Wan to the training ground.
Qi Yuxuan flew to Qiu Ziyue's side, and Liu Xu tactfully left.
Qi Yuxuan held Qiu Ziyue's hand and said, "Wife, you are really popular."
