Nāgata: Infernal Night, Qinghan and I are True Love

Chapter 146 Hu Wei Attends Engagement Banquet

But soon after, she pinched Xu Tianyi hard.

He looked at Shen Miao with a smile on his lips.

"Miaomiao's dress looks so familiar, where did you buy it..."

Upon hearing this, Shen Miao immediately laughed: "Sister Qinghan, these are your clothes! They look great on me too..."

Gu Qinghan was very unhappy. How could he just give his clothes to other women to wear?

"Hmm~, it looks pretty good..." Her tone was somewhat perfunctory and displeased.

Shen Miao sensed something was wrong and immediately said, "Sister Qinghan, we're about the same size, why don't you try on my wedding dress later?"

Gu Qinghan was initially a little angry, but after hearing these words, she was moved.

"This won't do! That's..."

"Oh dear, sister, come with me quickly! Never mind them, I have two or three sets, come and try them on..."

Gu Qinghan was no longer angry at all, and was actually pulled away by Shen Miao with a mix of resistance and reluctance.

Ning Hongye snorted coldly and followed them away, clearly wanting to see the wedding dress as well.

Ji Yingying was left in a daze. After thinking for a moment, she followed after them.

Along the way, Miss Shen Miao chattered away, and soon all three women were captivated by her descriptions of the treasure trove and wedding dress.

One of the eternal courtesans was no joke.

After the women left, Yue Shan sighed silently, "Women are such a hassle..."

Ji Canghai laughed and said, "Too many would be troublesome."

He couldn't help but think of Cui Sanniang.

. . .

After the incident was over, everyone began to discuss the details of the battle repeatedly.

After discussing it into the evening, Yue Shan and Ji Canghai decided to stay at the Shen family's house.

The specific strategy has been discussed and finalized.

Simply put, it all depends on how the opponent makes their moves.

This time, the battlefield will be pushed forward, which means the originally planned one-month training period will now be shortened by half.

Ten days later, junior officers from Yue Shan's army will come to lead the soldiers trained by Xu Tianyi to make arrangements.

The main battlefield was still in the nine northeastern counties of Leizhou.

In short, Leizhou is divided into four cities: Chongsheng, Muhua, Changle, and Nangang.

The Shen family is located in the central city of Muhua, while Yue Shan, located east of Nangang City, has already invaded Yuzhou.

Snowflakes blanketed the sky as the army slowly made its way from Ningkang County in Changle City toward Wanshang and Wanxia Counties, which bordered Muhua City.

The main battlefields were still in the upper and lower counties of the bay.

After plundering along the way, Xue Mantian's army has now exceeded 200,000.

They would not let go of the wealthy Muhua City, nor would they directly attack the eleven counties of Chongsheng City that had been affected by floods.

Therefore, a series of arrangements had been made in advance. Yue Shan planned to write down the plan the next day and then go back to arrange for officers to come and cooperate with Xu Tianyi.

The Shen family also prepared a large amount of military equipment and even dispatched a 2,000-strong firearms army to cooperate with Xu Tianyi.

. . . .

The next morning, the Shen family began extensive preparations.

Everywhere was decorated with festive red cloth, and firecrackers and candles were constantly going off.

Xu Tianyi was a little puzzled, but he soon found out that the engagement banquet was at noon.

The Shen family invited many well-known figures from Leizhou.

Xu Tianyi didn't know any of them.

Among them were great scholars, master craftsmen, high-ranking officials, and renowned martial arts masters.

Xu Tianyi disliked these formalities because they took up too much time.

But there was nothing they could do; the Shen family was just too enthusiastic.

He wanted to leave but couldn't find Shen Miao and Gu Qinghan.

. . . .

Meanwhile, Hu Wei traveled through the night and arrived at Muhua City.

Hu Wei, who had initially felt somewhat inferior and lacked confidence, now stood tall and proud. He donned a magnificent robe, dressed himself up, and transformed into a distinguished young master.

However, his somewhat casual habits made his temperament and his clothes not quite match.

"These clothes are such a nuisance. They dig into my neck and constrict my hands..."

Hu Wei hesitated for a moment, then couldn't resist unbuttoning two buttons.

The large knife in his hand was confiscated when he entered the room.

Large swords are not allowed inside Mokuga Castle, but longswords and sabers are permitted.

Of course, those with power or influence, or those with a license, can bring them.

For example, martial arts celebrities, city security escort agencies, and family guards. Hu Wei was dressed in gorgeous clothes, so in theory he shouldn't have been stopped. However, his temperament was completely inconsistent with his clothes. When asked a question, he couldn't answer it, and his weapon was taken away.

As I said before, a country bumpkin like him feels a bit awkward in a big city. Otherwise, with his cultivation level, even a casual tremor would have been enough to deter the guards from taking his weapons.

As he wandered through the streets and alleys, he became a little confused. Last time, Yue Shan had led the way, but now, on his own, he really didn't know where the Shen family's house was.

Hearing the sound of firecrackers ahead, he immediately rushed over.

The street that came into view was a sea of ​​bright red.

Red lanterns were everywhere, and red ribbons were hung in various places. Many servants of the Shen family lined up to clean the streets and make various decorations.

Along the way, servants continued to distribute festive snacks and sweets.

Hu Wei was stunned, and a sense of foreboding washed over him.

The surrounding area was filled with discussions.

"Old Tang, what's going on with the Shen family? Is the eldest young master of the Shen family going to take a concubine?"

"Hey, didn't you see the notice? Shen Miao, the eldest daughter of the Shen family, is getting engaged to Xu Tianyi, the leader of the Valley God Sect."

"Oh, really? Miss Shen finally got married? Last time she burned down an entire street. If she were my daughter, I would definitely beat her to death!"

"Haha, the Shen family is really rich and powerful. By the way, let me tell you, the leader of the Valley God Sect seems to be an old man. The Shen family has really made a mistake, marrying their eldest daughter off to a cult leader..."

"Shh! Keep your voice down. I heard the Valley God Cult loves to kidnap people to build roads. You'd better watch out..."

"I've heard about it too. Li Zhen went there a while ago and is still digging the riverbed!"

"Is it really that brutal? I heard the Grain God Cult is alright; they used to distribute land to everyone..."

"Dividing the land? That would require five or six hours of work a day, plus a 70% tax, and the land would be considered a lease. Would you go in that situation?"

"Oh no, oh no, the Shen family won't side with the Valley God Cult, will they? What are we going to do then..."

……

Hearing the whispers around him, Hu Wei felt even more furious.

The Shen family is so snobbish!

And they actually want to marry Miaomiao off to an old man!

He wished he could rush in right now and rescue Shen Miao.

But then he felt it wouldn't work. The Shen family was too big. He was afraid that if he killed a member of the Shen family, Shen Miao would be unhappy. He was also afraid that the Shen family had too many experts and he wouldn't be able to handle them, or he would be finished.

After much thought, he decided to infiltrate the situation and stop the engagement.

But here's the problem: how do I sneak in?
