Chapter 230 A Hundred Beasts Travel Together
The auspicious time has arrived, and the sound of gongs and drums fills the air.
The main thoroughfare of the capital, the Imperial Street, had long been swept clean and adorned with a hundred miles of red decorations.
"They're here! The Regent's wedding procession is here!"
With a loud shout, the crowd that had already packed both sides of the street craned their necks, eager to catch a glimpse of the Great Sheng War God.
However, when the procession finally came into view, the once noisy crowd fell silent instantly, as if an invisible hand had gripped their throats.
Leading the way were neither honor guards holding signs that read "Silence" or "Avoidance," nor musicians playing instruments.
Instead, it was a...striped tiger.
It was none other than the guardian beast of the Prince's mansion—Da Bai.
Today's Big White has clearly been carefully dressed up.
Its snow-white fur gleamed from washing, and a huge, festive red silk flower hung around its majestic neck.
It walked with its head held high and chest out, striding with an arrogant and domineering gait, right at the very front of the procession.
"roar--!!!"
The giant white tiger opened its blood-red maw and let out a roar that shook the mountains and rivers.
This sound wasn't for hunting, but for—clearing the way.
The roar was deafening, its power overwhelming.
The crowd, which had been somewhat crowded and chaotic, instantly retreated in fear due to their biological instincts, clearing a wide avenue in an instant after hearing the tiger's roar.
"Oh my god! A tiger! It really is a tiger!"
"It...it's wearing a red flower? Is it here to welcome the bride?"
The people were so frightened that their legs went weak, yet they couldn't help but stare wide-eyed at this unprecedented spectacle.
Behind Da Bai, Pei Yunjing rode his equally red-and-color-adorned black horse, "Mo Feng," slowly approaching.
Today, he took off his usual black robe and put on a bright red wedding robe embroidered with nine pythons coiled among clouds.
With a jade belt around his waist and a golden crown on his head, his handsome face, which was usually as cold as ice, was still expressionless at this moment, but his eyes and brows revealed an irrepressible sense of smugness.
That was the unique spiritedness of the groom.
And following behind his horse were not ordinary followers.
On the left was a squad of black-armored guards, each wearing brand-new armor and red belts, and each one was exceptionally brave and valiant.
On the right is a jaw-dropping "animal formation".
Those were hundreds of stray cats and dogs in Beijing that had undergone "special training".
They are no longer the dirty, hated creatures they used to be. Today, each one is clean and fluffy.
Each cat and dog had a bright red ribbon tied around its neck and a small bronze tag engraved with the character "喜" (happiness).
They didn't run around or bark wildly; they stood in neat rows, heads held high, following alongside the warhorses.
Take ten steps each time.
"Woof!"
The lead yellow dog barked.
brush--!
Hundreds of cats and dogs stopped at the same time, bent their hind legs, put their front paws together, and made a uniform bowing gesture to the people on both sides.
It's as if they're asking for good luck from all the people in the city on behalf of their master, saying "Congratulations!"
"My God...is this...is this really a beast?"
Are they bowing to us? Are they laughing?
"A miracle! This is a miracle!"
The elderly scholar, his hair white with emotion, was moved to tears and knelt down, trembling.
"With ten thousand beasts clearing the way and tigers and wolves as companions! This is the kind of grandeur only ancient sage kings could have!"
"The Regent and the Queen are a match made in heaven! It's destiny!"
As the old scholar knelt down, it was as if the first domino had been toppled.
Splash—
Along the entire Imperial Street, hundreds of thousands of people knelt down in unison, like wheat fields blown down by the wind.
They were no longer afraid of the tiger, nor did they look down on the stray dogs.
They were kneeling in worship of this divine love that transcended the mundane and moved even heaven and earth.
Congratulations on the Regent's wedding!
Congratulations on Your Highness's wedding!
The thunderous cheers and shouts of blessings, louder than the roar of a tiger and the joy of celebration, resounded throughout the entire capital city.
On horseback, Pei Yunjing watched the magnificent scene of thousands of people kneeling in worship and hundreds of beasts traveling together, and his hand holding the reins tightened slightly.
His gaze remained fixed on the end of the street, on the villa draped with red silk.
There lies the person he most wants to see in this world.
"Walk."
Pei Yunjing gently spurred his horse and whispered an order to the large white horse ahead:
"hurry up."
"I...can't wait any longer."
[Got it! I'll go pick up the boss right now!]
Big White excitedly wagged its tail, quickened its pace, and led the strongest wedding procession in history toward the red finish line.
