Above the ceremony hall, the one-eyed Chai Hu pinched Luo Bing's slender neck with one hand, and pressed the other on her back. The Saint Yuan in his body was surging, and he was ready to take action at any time.
The guards of the City Lord’s Mansion looked at each other with difficulty and resentment. The other party had the Young Lady in his hand as hostage. They did not dare to act rashly, lest they anger Chai Hu and hurt Luo Bing. If so, they would not die easily.
Anxiously, they all looked at Luo Jin, wanting to see how he would instruct.
Luo Jin's eyes were shrinking slightly, and he winked without a trace. The guards understood and quietly dispersed, surrounding Chai Hu to prevent him from escaping.
As for the guests at the table where Chai Hu and Luo Bing were originally, they had already dispersed and fled the moment Chai Hu stood and held Luo Bing.
"Old man Luo Jin! If you still care about your daughter's life, let them rest a bit!" Chai Hu's single-eyed gleam exuded a hideous luster, while alerting the surrounding movement, he shout to Luo Jin.
Luo Jin snorted coldly, raised his hand slightly, and signaled the guards to calm down. Then he looked at Chai Hu and said, "Where has this king seen you!"
Chai Hu sneered, and said sarcastically: "Under the nameless junior, the City Lord will naturally not remember."
Luo Jin said, "No matter what kind of grievances this king has with you, it has nothing to do with the little girl. If you let her go, this king promises to have a good talk with you."
Chai Hu laughed and said, "Talk with me? What can I do with you, a despicable and shameless person? Do you think I am a three-year-old child?"
Luo Jin said: "It seems that you have grudes with this old man. You are also intimidating her to oppose the marriage?"
Hearing this, the surrounding guests looked stunned, wondering that Luo Bing made it impossible for his father to get off the stage on this occasion. It turned out to be the reason for being persecuted. If that was the case, it could explain why Luo Bing was so ignorant.
"What you say is true!" Chai Hu snorted coldly, and didn't mean to argue.
"It wasn't he who forced me..." At this moment, Luo Bing suddenly interrupted. "Daddy, I said those words myself, you let the girl go, why are you doing this?"
When Luo Jin heard the words, his face suddenly sank.
The expressions of the guests around are also brilliant, and they really can’t understand what the situation is all about! Luo Bing was held hostage by this one-eyed brawny man. The wealth and life are in the hands of others, why does she still help him speak nice things?
Luo Jin took a deep breath and said in a deep voice: "Bing'er, don't be afraid, Daddy will save you." After that, he looked at Chai Hu again, and said: "Your Excellency is so daring, and mixed into the ceremony to hijack this beloved daughter, what is your intention?"
Chai Hu sneered: "Why the City Lord ask knowingly, why do I come here? Others don't know, but don't you know it?"
Luo Jin frowned and squinted: "Your Excellency, draw a word out, if you can. Why not accept it? As long as the little girl is safe, I am willing to pay all the price!"
He was righteous and serious and his expression was solemn. The guests from the side applauded and praised.
Someone immediately said to Chai Hu: "My friend, you are too reckless to act like this. The City Lord has always loved the people like a child, is diligent in city affairs, and has an excellent reputation. Miss Luo Bing is also innocent, pure and kind. What can you say? Can't you say it well? Everyone who insists on getting it can't get off the stage? Listen to my words and let Miss Luo Bing go. City Lord will definitely not embarrass you."
"Yes, you let Miss Luo go, everything is easy to discuss."
"Hurry up and let go, otherwise don't blame City Lord Luo when he punish you!"
There was a commotion in all direction. Some people spoke kind words to persuade him, some people spoke badly, and Chai Hu seemed to be a little nervous all of a sudden. The hand holding Luo Bing exerted a little force. The pinched Luo Bing had difficulty breathing and her face turned pale.
"Everyone shut up!" Chai Hu yelled fiercely. Now he is trapped, with enemies on all sides. He is nervous, and he becomes more upset after hearing the shouts from all around him.
"Who would dare to say anything more, I immediately strangled her, I will do it!" Chai Hu glared with a one-eyed one.
When the guests saw this, how dare they say another word, they shut up, lest they really anger this irrational guy and hurt Luo Bing.
Luo Jin's face sank, and he shouted, "Let's talk about it, what do you want!"
Chai Hu turned his head, glared at Luo Jin, and said, "Let the person next to you go!"
"Who are you referring to?" Luo Jin asked knowingly.
Chai Hu shouted sharply: "If you dare to be so shameless, I will kill your daughter immediately!"
Luo Jin's face changed slightly, and he said, "Your Excellency... are you trying to snatch a bride?"
Chai Hu sneered, and said: "She didn't marry you voluntarily, so why did you say that I would snatch her? I just came to save her."
Luo Jin said: "You didn't ask her, how do you know that she was not willing?"
Chai Hu said: "Why would she be willing to marry you? What are you dreaming of!"
Luo Jin smiled and said: "Did you misunderstand something? Although I don't recognize you, it seems that you and... the girl should be friend? I admire you for doing this for your friends! If you're her friend, then you're also a friend of this king, so you can ask her yourself whether she is willing to marry this king. If she says no, this king will let you go immediately, and i won't trouble you anymore?"
Hearing this, Chai Hu's face changed a few times, as if he couldn't believe his ears, he hesitated: "Is this true?"
Luo Jin smiled and said: "Guests from all over the world are here. Under the full view of everyone, how can this king lie?" After a pause, he said again: "Or, friends are just here to make trouble to ruin the reputation of this king? If so... I will not spare you lightly."
Someone answered, "Yes, I am willing to testify for City Lord!"
"Boy, don't you really just come here to make trouble? If that's the case, it would be too despicable."
Chai Hu's face was sullen, unmoved by the yelling of the four directions, and he muttered for a while before he nodded and said: "Okay, I will believe you once."
As he spoke, he turned his head and looked at the bride, and said solemnly: "Fifth Sister, you heard what the Lord City Lord said just now. Tell me, did you marry him voluntarily, or were you... threatened by him? Don't worry, if you're threatened and forced by him, the fourth brother will save you even if he fights for his life!"
"Your Excellency is very painstaking, I am grateful!" Luo Jin smiled slightly and looked calm.
"Shut up!" Chai Hu sipped.
Luo Jin smiled without saying a word.
The bride, who had been standing still by his side, and hadn’t even said anything when Chai Hu was in trouble, suddenly became the focus of everyone’s attention. Everyone looked at her, wanting to know that she would give What kind of answer.
In full view, the bride's delicate body trembled for a while, and then her voice came from the red cover: "I...voluntarily!"
"What!" Chai Hu's body was shaken and he was sluggish for an instant. He didn't expect to hear such an answer.
But that voice is indeed his fifth sister, no one posing.
For a while, he was somewhat unable to accept such a result.
Luo Jin looked at him and said with a smile: "So you should understand, right? This king and the girl hit it off, if not, this king will not marry her."
"Big Brother Chai..." Luo Bing turned her head at the moment, looking at Chai Hu blankly, some wondering why things were different from what Chai Hu said. After all, Chai Hu told her that today's bride was forced to marry her father, she heard a completely different answer from the bride's mouth.
"Impossible, it is absolutely impossible!" Chai Hu shouted.
Luo Jin's face sank, and he shouted: "This king has given you enough face. Since you are the friend of the girl. I don't want to embarrass you. I hope you can do it for yourself!"
"Yes, friend don't mess around anymore, otherwise everyone will not look good."
"Exactly, you released Miss Luo Bing. I believe that with the weight of the City Lord's words, he will not really embarrass you, so everyone will sit at the same table and drink the wine of celebration."
"You kid, it is enough, if you want to die, I don't mind giving you a ride!"
The guests around were yelling again, and their impression of Chai Hu was extremely bad.
"It's impossible." Chai Hu kept talking, "It's impossible for Fifth Sister to marry you voluntarily, she must be forced by you!" As he said, he seemed to remember something, and shouted: "It must be Big brother and second brother, are they alright?!"
"Boy, what are you talking about?" The crowd surrounded the audience with a blank expression.
Chai Hu laughed up to the sky. The laughter was thunderous, and he was extremely cheerful. It seemed that he had figured out something and solved his happy knot. After a while, he looked at Luo Jin abruptly and gritted his teeth and said: "Old man is really sinister. He use the big brother and the second elder brother as hostage to force the fifth sister to marry you. Today, if you don’t want your daughter’s blood to be splattered on the spot, listen to my orders!"
Luo Jin became angry and shouted: "Do you dare to speak with no creadibility?"
Chai Hu sneered: "What credibility is there with you, such a despicable villain? Today, no matter what, I will take away the fifth sister. If anyone dares to stop me, I want them to die!" He urge more strength.
Luo Bing exclaimed.
Luo Jin was shocked and said hurriedly: "Hold on!"
"You still don't let them go!" Chai Hu shouted sharply.
Luo Jin's face was sinkin, as if the storm was about to come, and the atmosphere in the entire inner hall was suddenly suppressed to the extreme. After gnashing his teeth for a while, he said: "Since you are so suspicious, let the girl explain it to you in detail! "
While talking, he glanced at the bride beside him.
Hearing this, Chai Hu looked happy, and shouted: "Fifth sister come first."
After hesitating for a while, the bride walked towards Chai Hu step by step.
"I'm afraid this kid is going to be unlucky!" Yang Kai, who had been watching coldly on the side of the wine table, suddenly muttered softly.
The people of the Thousand Leaves Sect were ecstatic and beaming. No matter what Chai Hu’s uproar was for today, and no matter what the final result, Luo Jin’s face has been damaged. In the future, I’m afraid to be in that teahouse and wine shop. Things about today will be talked about everywhere, people who don't know the truth will definitely think that Luo Jin has done something to bully the weak, which damages his majesty and image.
