Soon after Sima Rulan came to the Middle-earth Continent, Xiong Bailing led the Xiong family's great army across the sea and followed her. In the past five years, all the enemies who threatened the city lord and the eldest lady had to pass through the Great Rebellion Department, and there were already many Jianghu sects that had fallen under their feet.

These two hundred guys with a body size comparable to black bears are already famous in the Central Plains martial arts. Now in the small courtyard of the Horse Pavilion stood eight giant men with machetes on their backs, who were the members of the Great Clan.

Hua Bushi walked into the front hall of the small courtyard of the Horse Pavilion, and the three people in the hall all stood up and saluted. He returned the salute with his fists, stretched out his hand, and said, "No need to be polite, everyone please sit down!"

Since he had lost an arm in the secret cave of Whale Swallowing Island, Xiong Bailing had made a prosthetic hand out of refined copper and mounted it on his right elbow. Although this prosthetic hand is not as agile as the real arm, it can also drive freely, perform "shocking bear's paw" moves, and is not afraid of the sword, making it a sharp weapon when fighting people.

At this time, Xiong Bailing sat down on the wooden chair, and the refined copper prosthetic arm pressed against the chair, making a "cluck" sound, almost breaking the chair handle. He looked at Hua Bushi, but his face was a look of wanting to speak and stopping.

Hua Bushi felt a little strange in his heart, and asked, "Uncle Xiong led the Great Gang to camp outside the city, could it be that he encountered some trouble?"

"Our Xiong family's big clan is brave and invincible, who dares to provoke, how can there be any trouble!" Before Xiong Bailing could speak, a rough voice had already shouted first, it was Xiong Tiannan who was standing next to him.

"My father and I came to the city this time just to ask you one thing, that is, when do you plan to marry my sister Lan'er?"

Hearing this, Hua Bushi was stunned, and his face showed a look of contempt.

In Kaifeng City that day, under the persecution of Guoloumeng, the eldest young master had to agree to marry Sima Rulan as his wife, and the marriage was decided. However, then the "Evil Dog Gate" immediately began to expand in the four realms of Henan, Lu, Zhejiang and Hebei, and Hua Bushi led his subordinates to run around, forming rudders in various places, developing shili, and the time for holding the wedding was delayed again and again, and it was undecided.

In fact, this is the third time Xiong Bailing has asked Hua Bushi about the date of marriage, the first two times Xiong Bailing was looking for an opportunity to ask quietly when no one was around, but this time he came directly to the door, and he also brought a cannon barrel Xiong Tiannan, who had no reason to speak, obviously had made up his mind, and he had to ask for a result.

Hua Bushi opened his mouth and turned his eyes to Chu Yiyi for help, hoping that she could speak out to help solve the siege. Chu Yiyi pursed her lips and smiled, and said: "The matter between the prince and Lan'er's sister, the concubine is an outsider, and she shouldn't interfere with many things, but this family affair has been set for five years, but she has not officially saluted, even the concubine is also unhappy for Lan'er's sister!"

Hua Bushi felt even more embarrassed, so he had to say: "Miss Lan'er is the city lord of Okura City, and the wedding ceremony must be grand, and now the 'Evil Dog Gate' is at the critical time of expanding Shili, and the affairs of the sect are busy, and there is really no time to ...... it."

Before he finished speaking, Xiong Tiannan interrupted him with an angry snort and said: "This excuse you are looking for is also lame! Sister Lan'er is the eldest lady of our 'Wanjintang', of course, her noble status is true, and because of this, the marriage period cannot be postponed again and again, if you want to regret the marriage, we don't want to be happy, I will take Sister Lan'er back to Okura Island tomorrow!"

Xiong Tiannan originally had a deep love for Sima Rulan, and he had made up his mind that he would not marry Lan'er's sister in this life, but it was only because of the twists and turns on Whale Swallowing Island that he understood that Sima Rulan did not love him, and there was no hope for this matter, so he had to give up this idea.

Although the love in his heart has disappeared, this Xiong Gongzi's love for Lan'er's sister is still the same, even deeper than before. Hua Bushi repeatedly delayed the marriage, Xiong Tiannan couldn't stand it for a long time, if he hadn't been stopped by his father, he would have found Hua Bushi a long time ago, and wanted to seek justice for Sima Rulan.

Xiong Tiannan's words came out, Hua Bushi's face was even red, and he said: "Brother Tiannan, where did you say this, I promised to marry Miss Lan'er, of course, I will never break my promise." ”

Xiong Tiannan pouted and said: "You kid has always been extremely cunning, who can know if you can't break your word?" Over the years, Sister Lan'er has helped you develop the sect, and I don't know how much effort it has spent, and she has also put our 'Wanjintang' and 'Okura City' on it, if you still have a little conscience, you should know how to repay your kindness, instead of delaying and being cunning here!"

Seeing his son's pair of bear paws clenched into fists and speaking aggressively, Xiong Bailing coughed heavily and scolded: "Nan'er shut up, don't be unreasonable!"

He stood up from the chair, walked in front of Hua Bushi in two steps, bowed down and said: "The dog is not good, and he does not speak in a way, but Xiong's family education is not strict, and the old man makes amends to Hua Gongzi!"

Hua Bushi hurriedly returned the salute and said, "Xiong Gongzi is straightforward and fast-talking, how dare he blame him." ”

Xiong Bailing shook his head and said: "Xiong has received the life-saving grace of Brother Sima, and he also made an oath on Whale Swallowing Island that day, and the Xiong family has repaid the 'Wanjintang' with their lives." Hua Gongzi and Lan'er's niece are already engaged, and they are the future masters of the 'Wanjin Hall', and the dog is rude to the son, which is the following offense, and it should never be!"

He glared at Xiong Tiannan and shouted: "Nan'er, don't you kneel down and kowtow to Hua Gongzi to apologize, and after you go back, you will face the wall for three more days, and think about it!"

Xiong Tiannan has always been arrogant, where has he suffered such grievances, but seeing his father's fierce voice, he was still in awe after all, knelt on the ground with his knees bent, and said: "It's not right for me to shout at you, I apologize to Young Master Hua for this!"

Hua Bushi was about to stretch out his hand to help, but Xiong Tiannan had already bent down and kowtowed three times in a row, then stood up and strode out of the house.

Seeing Xiong Tiannan go away without looking back, Hua Bushi was a little at a loss for a while, and he didn't know what to do.

Xiong Bailing said: "The dog is rude, and Xiong should be punished when he goes back." However, this time the old man entered the city, and he really had something to ask Hua Gongzi. ”

He stared at Hua Bushi's face and said in a deep voice, "I don't know when the marriage between Hua Gongzi and our city lord eldest lady is scheduled to take place?" The old man, Elder Yao, and Elder Chai should also make some preparations early. ”

This Uncle Xiong scolds his son in a gesture, and he really comes for a purpose.

In the face of Xiong Tiannan, Hua Bushi could still find some excuses, and he could not help but give a clear answer to Xiong Bailing's questioning. Just because Xiong Bailing and Sima Zhufeng are righteous brothers, and they are Sima Rulan's authentic uncles and elders, it is natural for them to inquire about their niece's marriage.

Hua Bushi had no choice but to say: "What Uncle Xiong said is very true, the wedding ceremony should indeed be arranged earlier. It's just that this matter should not be too hasty, you have to go to your father first, and you have to post to invite relatives and friends, these will take a lot of time, at least until the end of the year to be done properly, I think the wedding might as well be tentatively scheduled to be held in the spring of next year, what does Uncle Xiong think?"

Xiong Bailing's face sank, and he said: "It's only the Dragon Boat Festival in May, and it will be the beginning of spring next year to get married, won't it take nearly a year to wait, how can it be done with such a delay! The old man has already agreed with Chai Lin, and now he is leaving for Xiangjing, and Hua Gongzi on Ling Zun's side doesn't need to worry at all." As for what you said about inviting relatives and friends, the means of communication of 'Thousand Flowers' are unparalleled in the world, and it is enough to notify them all in ten days, are you right, Mrs. Yiyi?"

Chu Yiyi smiled and said, "Master Xiong is right, even if Hua Gongzi's friends live at the ends of the earth, 'Thousand Flowers Fang' can deliver the wedding stickers to them within ten days. ”

Xiong Bailing said: "If you calculate it this way, these things can be done properly in ten days and a half months." The old man has checked the yellow calendar, the sixth day of the sixth month of June is the auspicious day of the zodiac, which is the most suitable for holding a wedding banquet.

Hua Bushi exclaimed: "By all means, the sixth day of the sixth month of June is only one month away, and now our important business in the capital has not yet been completed, how can we return to Wuyang so soon to get married? In the opinion of the little nephew, we have to wait until the end of the year at the earliest, when the war in all realms can be calmed down, and the little nephew can hold the wedding with peace of mind." ”

"By the end of the year? That's still too long. Xiong Bailing frowned, "Even if you include the trip from the capital to Wuyang, it's only a month, and if you can't do it, it's set on the first day of July, and it's also an auspicious day......

Hua Bushi's eloquence is quite good, and he was the best at doing business and negotiating conditions, but he didn't expect that Xiong Bailing, who usually seems rude, was not below Hua Bushi when it came to the level of conditions.

The two of them held the wedding day like a businessman doing business, you bargained with me word by word, Hua Bushi wanted to delay the day, but Xiong Bailing tried his best to go to the premise. The two of them made their own reasoning, and after some arguing, they finally reached a compromise and set the wedding date for the eighth day of August three months later.

"Now that the marriage date has been decided, Mr. Hua must always be mindful, and don't use excuses to delay when the time comes. Xiong, Elder Yao, and Elder Chai will make preparations as early as possible, and do their best to make Lan'er's niece's marriage ceremony a complete and thoughtful one. Xiong Bailing's face finally showed a smile and said, "So the old man won't bother Hua Gongzi much, so he will leave the city." ”

After saying this, he bowed his hand to Hua Bushi and walked out of the gate.

Seeing that the father and son of the Xiong family were leaving with several giants from the Great Sect, Hua Bushi sat on the chair and was speechless for a long time.

Seeing the bitter face of the eldest young master, Chu Yiyi smiled and said: "Becoming a parent is a great joy, ordinary people can't be happy, the son looks like this, aren't you afraid that Sister Lan'er will be sad and sad when she sees it?"
