For a moment, the three sides were in a deadlock.

Hua Manlou wanted to save his father.

Song Wencao wanted to save his daughter.

Prince Peacock wanted to take the Jade Buddha Of The Vast Seas and leave safely.

If he agreed to Hua Manlou's conditions, Song Wencao was willing, but Prince Peacock was unwilling.

If he agreed to Song Wencao's conditions, Hua Manlou was willing, but Prince Peacock was unwilling.

If he agreed to Prince Peacock's conditions, Hua Manlou was unwilling, and Song Wencao was unwilling as well.

Understanding this, Song Wencao automatically stood on the same side as Hua Manlou. Prince Peacock angrily scolded him for being an idiot.

Knowing that the current situation was unfavorable to him, Prince Peacock made a prompt decision. With one hand holding the saber, he took out the Soul-Absorbing Flute from his chest. He wanted to use the Soul-Absorbing Flute to control Hua Manlou and Song Wencao.

Of course, it failed. The Soul-Absorbing Flute had long been replaced by Sikong Zhaixing.

Prince Peacock had no choice but to threaten Hua Ruling with the saber in his hand. "Hua Manlou, give me the Jade Buddha Of The Vast Seas. Otherwise, you'll regret it when I slash you."

Then, Song Wencao was in a difficult position. If he gave the Jade Buddha to Hua Manlou, then he wouldn't have any more bargaining chips to ensure his daughter's safety. If he didn't give it to Hua Manlou, then his daughter might be in danger.

Song Wencao jumped back and distanced himself from Hua Manlou. "Hua Ruling's poison is acting up!

The only one who can cure him is me!

If you snatch the Jade Buddha, Hua Ruling will die too! "

Without any expression on his face, Hua Manlou tried to appear calm. "No, father's poison has already been cured. Song Wencao, give me the Jade Buddha Of The Vast Seas."

"I don't believe it!

Mr. Xiang Zhi is under house arrest. Who else in this world can cure my poison? "

"The one under house arrest is only a substitute. Now, give me the Jade Buddha Of The Vast Seas."

People say that when two powers mutually benefit each other, one should choose the lesser of two powers.... Song Wencao had no choice but to throw the Jade Buddha Of The Vast Seas into the air..

At the same time, Prince Peacock immediately let go of the hostage in his hands and went to catch the Jade Buddha. Song Wencao wanted to grab Hua Ruling to use as a bargaining chip, but Hua Manlou moved even faster and protected his father behind him.

Yang Muzhi, who was hiding in the dark, took the opportunity to shoot out two silver needles, freezing Song Wencao and Prince Peacock.

The Jade Buddha Of The Vast Seas fell to the ground with a crisp sound.

This sound was like a signal. Lu Xiao Feng, who was paying close attention to the situation in the room, and Jin Jiu Ling, who was leading his shadow guards, entered the room in a single file.

Turning around to face his father, Hua Manlou frowned and asked, "Father, are you okay?

Are you hurt anywhere? Or are you not feeling well? "

Hua Ruling shook his head and sighed, "Qi Tong, don't worry. I'm fine. I just didn't expect to cause so much trouble just because I said something wrong."

Yang Muzhi, who was hiding in the dark, quickly rushed forward to check Hua Ruling's pulse. After checking his pulse, he breathed a sigh of relief, "Uncle's body is fine."

Seeing that there were no casualties on his side, Lu Xiaofeng finally had the mood to feel sorry for the broken Jade Buddha Of The Vast Seas, "It seems that the old king has to prepare to carve another Jade Buddha Of The Vast Seas in addition to taking back his dynasty."

Patting his shoulder, Hua Ruling said, "Boss Zhu's craftsmanship is really good. Even you were fooled. Actually, this Jade Buddha is also fake."

"Or fake?"

"Even a cunning rabbit has three burrows. Of course, there can be more than one fake Jade Buddha."

Lu Xiaofeng paused at the mention of Zhu Ting. "I hope Uncle Hua won't blame Zhu Ting for revealing the secret of the secret room. I think he had no choice."

Straightening his hat, Hua Ruling waved his hand, "It's human nature. Why would I blame him?"

While they were chatting, Jin Jiu Ling ordered the secret guards to tie up Prince Peacock. For some reason, he asked Hua Manlou, "The Iron Shoe Bandit has a personal grudge with the Hua family. Should the Hua family deal with him?"

Shaking his head, Hua Manlou had a relieved smile on his face. "Since the dark clouds have dispersed, there is no need to hide in the darkness. Let the imperial court deal with the Iron Shoe Bandit according to the law."

Jin Jiu Ling looked at him deeply, then cupped his hands, "Jin Jiu Ling has official business to attend to, so I will take my leave first. Everyone, see you later." When he said the last four words, he stared in the direction of Yang Muzhi.

Sensing Jin Jiu Ling's intention, Hua Manlou smiled and pulled Yang Muzhi into his arms. Tonight, everyone could finally have a good night's sleep.

The third day of the sixth month was an auspicious day, suitable for marriage.

After experiencing the phoenix coronet and red cape, Lu Xiaofeng, who was wearing a veil on his head, changed his role.

"What?

The groom?

If I marry your sixth sister-in-law, won't your sixth brother beat me to death? "Hearing his good friend Hua Manlou's words, Lu Xiaofeng almost jumped up like a cat whose tail was stepped on.

Yang Muzhi was amused by his funny expression and laughed, "Little Phoenix, you are dreaming. How can it be Liu Sister-in-law who is going to marry you?

If Liu Ge and Liu Sister-in-law didn't settle the matter of the Iron Shoe Bandit and went out to travel, how can you be the groom? "

When he said this, Yang Muzhi and Hua Manlou were very close to each other. Their hands were firmly held in public, which was enough to make people envious.

At least Lu Xiaofeng's eyes were red. He snorted, "Muzhi, you follow Hua Manlou and call him Liu Ge and Liu Sister-in-law."

The two people who were ridiculed looked at each other and smiled. Hua Manlou coughed and looked at Lu Xiaofeng, "You will get used to it."

It was so sweet that Lu Xiaofeng shivered and had goosebumps, "I shouldn't have mentioned it. Forget it. I'm going to change my clothes."

He stopped halfway and asked casually, "If the bride is not Liu Sister-in-law of the Hua family, who is it?"

Yang Muzhi covered his mouth and snickered. He didn't have time to answer him. Hua Manlou was kind enough to tell him the truth.

"Third Miss of the Shen family, Shen Lingshuang."

She nearly tripped Lu Xiaofeng. Was he really going to bow to the heaven and earth with that girl who could choke a group of people to death with just one sentence?

Even if it was a fake wedding ceremony, it was still a bit too much.

Forget it, forget it. He had dressed up as a bride. What was there to be afraid of?

Lu Xiaofeng suddenly had this idea of smashing a pot that had already been broken.

After changing into the groom's suit and disguising himself as the sixth son of the Hua family, Lu Xiaofeng, the "groom", was already in place.

It was still the bride in red who shouted, "Groom, bow."

With a smile, Lu Xiaofeng bent down and cupped his hands, waiting for the bride to come out of the bridal sedan chair and put her hand on his.

The breeze in early June was neither cold nor hot. It was refreshing when it blew on people's bodies. Lu Xiaofeng bent down and inadvertently glanced up. He saw the fine tassels swaying on the veil embroidered with dragon and phoenix patterns. Then he saw the porcelain-white woman's skin.

Even though he was used to seeing beauties, he was stunned for a moment. Then he reacted. No wonder people said that a woman's most beautiful day was the day of her wedding ceremony. Even if it was only three points of beauty, it could still make it ten points.

With a weight on his arm, Lu Xiaofeng straightened up and stood shoulder to shoulder with the "bride."

The bride and groom shouted at the right time, "Groom and bride, go straight to the front of the flower hall."

Thus, the two people connected by a piece of red silk embroidered with red pompoms walked towards the flower hall at the same pace. Perhaps Shen Lingshuang was not used to wearing women's embroidered shoes. Midway, she tripped over herself. Lu Xiaofeng hurriedly helped steady her.

The clear female voice, full of vitality, said in a small voice, "Thank you."

It was only two words, but it caused Lu Xiaofeng's heart to flutter for no reason. He pulled away and replied, "Be careful."

After that, it was nothing more than the bride and groom shouting. The two people followed suit.

When it came to the final step of "husband and wife bowing to each other", Shen Lingshuang bowed without hesitation. Lu Xiaofeng, however, was half a beat slower.

Watching his good friend's every move, Yang Muzhi and Hua Manlou sat at the banquet and whispered in each other's ears, "Isn't Little Phoenix a bit … towards Miss Shen?"

Hua Manlou quietly poured out the wine in front of Yang Muzhi and replaced it with plain water. He laughed, "So Muzhi also saw it."

Hearing the teasing in his words, Yang Muzhi lightly punched him, "How can I not see it?

Hua Manlou, you look down on people too much. "Then he picked up the wine glass and drank it in one gulp," En?

Why is it plain water? "

"Muzhi's alcohol tolerance is not good. It's better to drink less. If you really want to drink … tonight when we go back to the room, I'll drink with you to our hearts' content."

Knowing that his alcohol tolerance was indeed not good, Yang Muzhi was also afraid that he would make a fool of himself if he drank too much, so he didn't argue anymore. After eating until he was about seventy to eighty percent full, he slipped out of the banquet with Hua Manlou.

Splendid Mountain Villa was a typical Jiangnan garden. The materials used were naturally superior to nature. It had a rustic landscape, flowers, and architecture combined to create a unique beauty.

Looking at the flowers and plants on the roadside, Yang Muzhi walked briskly, "I don't know how the flowers on the third floor of Hundred Flowers Building are doing. If it wasn't for Hua Ping taking care of them, I wouldn't be at ease."

Because he was walking backwards, he was facing Hua Manlou. Not only did Hua Manlou have to pay attention to his own feet, he also had to pay attention to Shen Lingshuang's feet.

Hearing his words, she smiled softly, "Muzhi, do you still remember what I asked you before?

What did you promise me? "

Stunned by the question, Yang Muzhi thought for a long time but still couldn't figure it out, "What?"

"At that time, I said, 'I don't like the flower that Shangguan Xueer gave you. Sometimes you spend more time looking at flowers than you do looking at me. Can we give it to someone else?' You promised me. Don't you remember now?"

"Hua Manlou, why are you so jealous that you won't even let go of a flower? I'll look at it less in the future, okay?"

Pulling Yang Muzhi into his embrace, Hua Manlou said slowly, "It's not that I'm jealous, but I have an inexplicable feeling that the flower is a little ominous. It's better to stay away from it."

Although he had his own thoughts, Yang Muzhi still couldn't bear to part with the flower, "When we return to Hundred Flowers Building, I'll have to move to your room in the side building. Isn't it far enough?"

In fact, since Yang Muzhi broke the last barrier between them, he had been living in the same room with Hua Manlou. Naturally, it was impossible for them to sleep on the same bed as they did in Wanmei Villa, with one room inside and one outside.

If they returned to Hundred Flowers Building, Yang Muzhi couldn't stay in his room. He had to move to Hua Manlou's room.
