Chapter 390 Engagement
"Look, I told you he found you a sister-in-law, but you refused to admit it and even beat me up. Humph!"
Xie Ting followed A Luan's gaze and saw this scene, and couldn't help but complain.
"Honestly, what do you think of your sister-in-law? She's very popular in the barracks."
"..."
"Why aren't you talking? Don't you like Cuihua?"
"No."
Ah Luan slowly withdrew her gaze, took the flowers and walked forward, "They are quite a match."
A-Luan always had a blank expression on her face, and was indifferent to everything except martial arts practice, so Xie Ting didn't find her reaction strange.
Meng Qi and Xie Ting followed Aluan's steps. Xie Ting started chattering again, "Aluan, you'll be coming of age next year. You've been in the capital for so long. Do you have a man you like?"
"No, there are so many good men in the army that you can consider. What do you think of Meng Qi?"
Meng Qi, "Thank you, take care of yourself."
"Well, I just said it casually, why are you so angry? You don't want to jump up and punch me, do you?"
The voices of several people gradually faded away, and the two people on the ridge of the field also quickly walked away.
Next, the news that Song Chenfeng and Cuihua were together reached everyone's ears, and everyone expressed their congratulations.
After Song Chenfeng calmed down, he took the initiative to apologize to Xie Ting.
Neither of them was the type to think too much, so they reconciled smoothly after apologizing.
Cuihua moved out of the military camp quickly, and Song Chenfeng arranged a quiet courtyard for her to live in in Liucheng.
Under Song Zhi's urging, Song Chenfeng personally wrote a letter to Song Yang the next day, asking him to help prepare all the engagement matters and not to neglect Cuihua.
Seeing that he was quite thoughtful, Song Zhi finally gave him a little good look.
When Song Yang received the letter, he almost laughed his face off, and immediately started making arrangements with Xie Yinyin.
It didn't take long before he personally came to Liucheng to arrange the marriage for the two and exchanged the marriage certificate. They could officially get married after the Phoenix Country stabilized.
Song Chenfeng didn't expect that this matter would make Song Yang come all the way here, and he was very surprised when he saw Song Yang.
Song Yang slapped him on the back of the head. "Of course I have to come in person. Such a big thing can't be taken lightly. Didn't you also say in the letter that you didn't want to let the girl down?"
The least aggrieved and most respectful way is, of course, to come in person.
Even the betrothal gifts were brought to the yard where Cuihua lived. Such a grand occasion made Cuihua flattered.
Many girls were extremely envious and only regretted that they had not acted earlier and missed out on such a good husband.
Song Yang and Xie Yinyin are very satisfied with Cuihua. Cuihua is gentle and virtuous. Although she comes from the countryside, she is well-educated and polite. Xie Yinyin feels more pity for her because of her life experience.
When Song Chenfeng saw everyone having fun, many of his other emotions faded away.
However, A-luan was not present at this scene.
Song Zhi asked Xie Ting to take Aluan to guard the entrance outside the dilapidated temple. These days, when people went fishing, they saw someone vaguely looking towards this side from the opposite side of the river.
The other side of the river was Tianqi's territory, so Song Zhi suspected that they were losing their patience and wanted to take action, so he deliberately reduced the defense of one river mouth and transferred personnel to guard both sides of the ruined temple tunnel.
After Xie Yinyin met Aluan, she didn't plan to stay in Liucheng all the time. She and Song Yang planned to visit other cities while they were still able to walk.
In the territory of Huangguo, Song Zhi confirmed that there was no danger, so he followed the two people's wishes.
The engagement was talked about by the people and soldiers of Liucheng for several days, and everyone praised Cuihua for her good fortune.
The relationship between Song Chenfeng and Cuihua has made great progress in the past two days. They can now remain calm in the face of other people's well-intentioned teasing.
But soon after, news came from Meng Qi and Xie Ting that the people of Tianqi were indeed planning a surprise attack in the next two days, and many people of Tianqi were hiding in the mountains across the river.
Song Zhi asked them to keep their troops still and wait for the other side to make a move.
Another night, Meng Qi and Xie Ting hurriedly sent a message to the City Lord's Mansion, and Tianqi finally took action.
The night was silent, with dark clouds in the sky and moonlight visible from time to time.
Dark figures moved quickly under the moonlight, and they successfully passed the river mouth where Song Zhi had deliberately withdrawn the defense.
They were obviously quite skilled, but there weren't many of them.
It can be seen that Tianqi also attaches great importance to this operation, so it specially selected only a few experts to come.
Xie Ting hid in the dark with his men, watching them quickly come to the outside of the city and find the entrance to the tunnel. He looked around and made sure there was no danger before directing his men to jump in.
Only after all the men in black had entered did Xie Ting order his men to ride into the city at full speed to deliver the message.
Meng Qi quickly received the news of the ruined temple in the city and immediately asked everyone to be prepared.
After an incense stick of time, there was a sound coming from the tunnel. It was obvious that the Tianqi soldiers in black were arriving.
When the first man in black poked his head out of the tunnel, the shovel that had been prepared was instantly used to hit him.
With a loud bang, the man in black was sent to hell before he could even react.
The person behind him didn't know what was going on. Just as he was about to stick his head out to see what was happening, he was greeted by another shovel.
After losing two men in black in a row, the people inside finally realized that something was wrong. They didn't dare to stick their heads out again and hurriedly turned around to go back.
Who knew that after finally getting outside the city, as soon as I looked out, there was another shovel.
The person behind didn't believe it and stuck his head out again, followed by another hammer.
Now, no matter how stupid they were, they knew they were stuck inside.
All the original plans to sneak into the city from here were stillborn, and their faces were filled with despair.
Is there any death in this world more frustrating than theirs? The answer is no.
I thought it was a deadly back-up plan hidden in the dark, but it turned out to be a trick played on me.
A shadow hung over the hearts of the people inside. They were really unwilling to die here like this!
Could they go up? What awaited them were hammers and shovels. If they didn't go up, they would be trapped and die inside.
In such a desperate situation, they didn't even have a chance to fight to the death.
"Hey, people inside, keep coming up, why aren't you coming up?"
Suddenly, a provocative voice came from outside.
They recognized the voice; it was the voice of Xie Ting, the deputy general of the Phoenix State.
The voice continued. "Hey, look at you guys. Why are you doing something else? Why are you resorting to a sneak attack? A sneak attack would be fine, but you're making such a fuss. Wouldn't it be better to just do it openly like we did back then? I still remember it was a truly thrilling battle."
Xie Ting looked nostalgic, and was so angry that he almost died.
The people inside clenched their fists instantly. They were extremely angry, but there was nothing they could do.
