Chapter 23 Give her back her life
Chapter 23 Give her life back
Just when Ergou was in a dilemma, it was neither time to retreat nor to advance.
A serious and powerful voice suddenly came from the door of the hall, attracting the attention of everyone present.
"Dear guests, please don't panic. Ji is a little late, so please don't blame me."
I saw a middle-aged man walking in the door. He was tall, walked like the wind, and had a thick beard around his mouth.
His eyes were bright and clear, and he inspected all the people present one by one, and he had the aura of being in a position of superiority for a long time.
The person who came was none other than Ji Ping, the lord of Luoyang City who should have appeared long ago.
When his eyes glanced at a young figure wearing a Taoist robe, he couldn't help but frown slightly, but he didn't pay much attention to it. He just glanced at it casually and then looked away.
The most important thing at the moment is to appease these distinguished guests who have come from afar.
Seeing that the master was finally willing to show up, the expressions of everyone who had been waiting for a long time softened a little, and no one cared about the master and apprentice who only knew how to eat and drink.
Someone tapped on the desk and seemed to question: "City Lord Ji, you are such a busy man. On such a happy day, you actually abandoned us and other guests who came from afar."
"Could it be that...is there anything more important than my daughter's marriage?"
As soon as he said this, he immediately won the approval of everyone.
"Yes, yes!"
"Besides, although the Ji Mansion is indeed ablaze with lights and colorful decorations, why haven't we seen the groom and the procession of welcoming the bride?"
"City Lord Ji, are you trying to trick us?"
The people present were not fools. They all came back to their senses at this moment and noticed all the strange things hidden in this wedding banquet.
In the face of everyone's accusations, Ji Pingping smiled and looked calm. He stretched out his hand and pressed it in the air to signal everyone to quiet down.
When everyone saw that they were all self-proclaimed high-quality people, they stopped talking.
He just kept staring at Ji Ping who walked to the center of the hall, wanting to hear what he had to say.
Before Ji Ping could speak, the man who was the first to speak, whom everyone called Brother Li, spoke again.
"Li hopes that City Master Ji will think it over carefully before giving us an answer."
"otherwise……"
He flicked his sleeves, sat down with a cold face, and stopped talking, but the meaning behind his words was already very obvious.
Everyone is from a wealthy or noble family. Some people come here to curry favor with Ji Ping, but there are also some who treat him a little less favorably because of the reputation of the Lord of Luoyang City.
So they are not afraid of falling out with Ji Ping.
Scholars have the best respect. If you respect me a foot, I will respect you a foot.
But if you want to show some prestige, then I'm sorry!
Under the gaze of everyone, Ji Ping remained calm and composed, without any panic at all.
He smiled and picked up the wine glass on the desk, "No matter what the reason is, I, Ji, did something wrong..."
As Ji Ping spoke, he drank all the wine in the glass. He turned to smile and said to everyone, "How about I punish myself with a drink here first?"
"Hmph! You just want to deal with me and wait for a glass of wine?"
"That's right, City Lord Ji, it's better not to be careless here and tell the reason quickly."
Although everyone still didn't look good, Ji Ping's proactive submission and sincere attitude still made them feel that they had regained some face, and their words were not so fierce.
Ji Ping said seriously: "Thanks to everyone's kindness, I would like to come to the house to explain why I, Ji, used the name of my daughter to get married, and why the groom has not been seen yet..."
"Everyone, please allow me to speak slowly."
Ji Ping was obviously in a good mood. He poured himself another glass of wine and then slowly said, "This matter starts with my so-called second daughter Ji Qingge."
As soon as he spoke, everyone's expressions changed slightly, and someone asked tentatively: "What does City Lord Ji mean by this?"
"Could it be that this Ji Qingge is not the daughter of your City Lord Ji?!"
Ji Ping glanced at the person who asked the question. He nodded and said loudly: "Yes, that Ji Qingge is not the second daughter of my beloved wife. She is actually a fox demon in human form!"
"This time, I called my daughter Ji Yun back to the city under the guise of her marriage. At the same time, I also wanted to make the monster relax her vigilance, and then set up a dragnet at home. No matter how powerful she is, she can only be captured! "
"what?!"
<divclass="contentadv">As soon as this statement came out, it stirred up a thousand waves, and for a while, the sounds of shock and discussion were mixed together, and the crowd was instantly excited.
"This...how is this possible?!"
"Yes, City Master Ji, Miss Ji Er is the one I've seen since childhood. Don't be an old fool and get it wrong."
Although Ji Ping said it himself, most people still refused to believe it and kept questioning it.
I think it's probably because Ji Ping is so confused that he can't even recognize his own daughter.
"City Master Ji, don't say this nonsense. Miss Ji Qingge is a real immortal, and she knows the magic of immortality! Last time my mansion was in trouble, wasn't it Miss Ji Qingge who came to help me?"
"I still clearly remember the scene when the water dragon appeared out of thin air!"
This statement was very persuasive and immediately aroused the echo of insiders.
"Yes, I was also there at the time. The fire was so huge that I thought Mr. Zhang's life savings would all be destroyed!"
Faced with doubts, Ji Ping smiled calmly.
He had naturally expected the scene in front of him.
After all, if someone had said that his daughter was a monster a month ago, he would have been caught by Ji Ping on the spot and thrown into jail.
Thinking of this, Ji Ping said: "Everyone, please be patient."
He turned around and stepped out of the door, and said loudly: "I know that no matter how much I say now, you will only treat it as lies."
"Whether Ji Qingge is a monster or not? The Immortal Master of the Zhengqing Sect has already captured her with a formation. You all, follow me to the backyard and you will know at a glance!"
After he said that, he walked towards the backyard by himself, leaving everyone looking at each other.
"This……"
"What should I do?"
In the end, it was the most famous among them who made the decision.
"He Ji Ping is going, but we can't go?"
"Ignore whether Ji Qingge is a monster or not, even if she is really a monster, according to Ji Ping, she has been captured by a real immortal master, so what is there to be afraid of?"
"Mr. Zhang is right!"
"Go together, go together."
Then, a large group of people followed him to the backyard.
At this time, a cute little head poked out from the door of the empty hall.
"Master, they are all gone."
Chen An followed her out the door and took her hand.
"We have to go too."
"where are we going?"
"Didn't you hear them? Let's go see the monsters too."
Hearing this, Su Chichi looked embarrassed, "Ah... is that beautiful sister really a monster?!"
Chen An nodded, and then said: "He is just a good demon and has never harmed anyone."
Su Chi Chi suddenly clicked his head rapidly like a chicken pecking at rice.
"Yes, yes, I don't look like a bad person! Oh no, a bad demon!"
Chen An smiled, "Didn't you ask the master before that you wanted to return something?"
"Then, give her a life."
