“The Lin family of Lingnan is a golden signboard.”
“The mere Yan family cannot possibly do anything to the Lin family’s heir.”
“And there’s another crucial point, the Lin family’s connections are extensive, even in this Southwest Dao, there are many prominent families who owe the Lin family favors. Even if Yan Bie Tian wants to keep someone, it wouldn’t be easy.”
Luo Xuan and Lei Meng Sha thought more and more that it was a good idea.
They couldn’t make a move, Si Kong Chang Feng wasn’t strong enough, Bai Li Dong Jun had a family but didn’t know martial arts, something might happen, and Wen Nan Tian was strong enough, and his family was even stronger, completely fearless of the Yan family.
There was simply no better choice.
But then a problem arose, would Wen Nan Tian agree to go and snatch the bride?
“You’re not asking me to do that, are you?!”
Seeing everyone looking at him, Bai Li Dong Jun’s forehead turned black. Seeing everyone nod in agreement after hearing his words, he hung his head and said: “My cousin is the Lin family’s heir, he was brought up well, he might not do something like snatching a bride.”
“Give it a try? If it doesn’t work, we’ll think of other ways.” Lei Meng Sha encouraged him.
“Fine, I’ll go back and ask my cousin.”
Bai Li Dong Jun painfully covered his head, what stupid thing did he do? Hopefully, his cousin won’t hear about it and hang him up to beat him after he goes back.
They rushed through the night and Bai Li Dong Jun, Si Kong Chang Feng, and Lei Meng Sha quickly returned to Chai Sang City.
“Can this really work?”
Luo Xuan and Lei Meng Sha didn’t go in, but stood outside the East Return Tavern.
“It’s hard to say.” Lei Meng Sha didn’t have any confidence in his heart either.
Looking at the dim East Return Tavern, Bai Li Dong Jun, who was worried all the way, quickly found an excuse for himself. He saw that his room was occupied, and after thinking for a while, he decisively chose to share a room with Si Kong Chang Feng for the night.
..
The night passed without any incident.
The next day, in the morning.
When Bai Li Dong Jun woke up, the sun was already high in the sky.
He remembered the request from Lei Meng Sha and Luo Xuan last night, and quickly went out to find Wen Nan Tian.
Just as he arrived at the tavern, before he even went inside, Bai Li Dong Jun smelled the familiar scent of wine.
“Uncle!”
“Cousin!”
Bai Li Dong Jun quickly walked to the table where the two were sitting.
Seeing Bai Li Dong Jun coming over, Wen Hu Jiu sized him up, looking at his sleep-deprived appearance, and shook his head with a smile: “Little Dong Jun, it seems you had a good time with them last night, you came back when it was almost dawn!”
“A good time?”
Bai Li Dong Jun paused in his hand that was picking up food, then he gave a dry laugh, looking at Wen Nan Tian with embarrassment: “That, Cousin, Lei Meng Sha and Luo Xuan have something they want to ask you for help?”
“Asking for my help?”
“What kind of help?”
Wen Nan Tian didn’t seem to care. He didn’t have any relationship with those two. If it was a small matter, of course, it wouldn’t be a problem, but now, the Southwest Dao was full of treacherous undercurrents, and looking at Bai Li Dong Jun’s expression, it seemed the matter wasn’t small.
“They want to ask you to help them snatch a bride?”
Bai Li Dong Jun’s voice was very small, his confidence was very low.
“Snatch… snatch a bride!?”
Wen Hu Jiu ‘pu’ and sprayed out all the wine in his mouth. He thought he heard wrong, but Bai Li Dong Jun’s appearance, like he had done something wrong, didn’t seem to be fake.
He looked at Wen Nan Tian, who didn’t react at all, feeling very curious: “Little Dong Jun, what are you guys doing? Do you have to ask for help to snatch a bride?”
Bai Li Dong Jun knew he couldn’t hide it, so he simply told them everything he had heard last night, including their plans.
After he finished speaking, Bai Li Dong Jun said dejectedly: “That’s how it is, they have too good a relationship with the Gu Jian Sect, they can’t take action themselves, Si Kong Chang Feng is too weak, he’d be chopped up and fed to the dogs, I don’t know martial arts, they said that among the handsome men they know in the Southwest Dao, the only one who could help is my cousin.
“Not helping!”
Wen Nan Tian ate his food, rejecting without thinking: “They care about their feathers, they don’t want to go from being the Eight Lords of Bei Li to being the Eight Scoundrels of Bei Li. Can Wen Nan Tian’s reputation be used so casually? ”
“Yes, you little rascal, you’re being used.” Wen Hu Jiu deeply agreed, and glared at Bai Li Dong Jun with a sense of hating iron for not turning into steel: “What does the Gu Jian Sect’s life and death have to do with you, me, or your cousin? They’re forced to agree, but they are cautious about doing great things, they want to let your cousin go against the Yan family, their abacus beads are already bouncing onto my face.
“I haven’t gotten married yet, if it’s spread that I snatched a bride from the Yan family in the Southwest Dao, do you know what the consequences will be?” Wen Nan Tian put down his chopsticks and looked seriously at Bai Li Dong Jun.
Bai Li Dong Jun shook his head.
“If I snatch a beautiful woman, I can get the beauty, it wouldn’t be too bad, at least if I really snatch the bride, even if my reputation is damaged, I don’t have to worry about getting married in the future.”
“But your plan is clearly to pretend to snatch a bride, but actually use snatching a bride to break the situation, to kill Yan Bie Tian. And as the person who snatches the bride, besides getting a bad reputation and infamy, what else can I get?”
“The hatred of the Yan family? The gratitude of Yan Liu Li? Or the friendship of the Eight Lords of Bei Li?”
Wen Nan Tian sneered, he didn’t understand what was wrong with Bai Li Dong Jun in the original work. Neither was there any connection of interest, nor was there any benefit, he went out of his way to offend people, and was almost killed by them.
You could say that it was understandable for Lei Meng Sha and Luo Xuan to take action, after all, the Gu Jian Sect was their brothers, like blood brothers. But Bai Li Dong Jun and Si Kong Chang Feng were clearly outsiders who were involved, they were being used as chess pieces, was it that fun?
“But…”
Bai Li Dong Jun wanted to argue, but he found that he didn’t know how to argue.
Yes.
What could his cousin gain from this snatching the bride plan?
The gratitude of Yan Liu Li?
Does his cousin need it?
He needs to go against the Yan family, to form a deadly feud, and also to ruin his own reputation, in exchange for the friendship of the Eight Lords of Bei Li, what good is it?
As for the threat from Yan Liu Li?
After Bai Li Dong Jun came to his senses, he didn’t seem to care, because he didn’t know the Gu Jian Sect, what did it matter to him whether he lived or died, what did it have to do with his cousin Wen Nan Tian?
“I’m sorry, Cousin, I was stupid.” Bai Li Dong Jun stood up and bowed to Wen Nan Tian to apologize.
“Have you figured it out?”
Wen Nan Tian looked at Bai Li Dong Jun, who was apologizing in front of him, a smile gradually appeared on his face, good, the boy was teachable, although he was a little naive, he wasn’t stupid enough.
Bai Li Dong Jun nodded and said: “I’ve figured it out!”
“Then go and tell Lei Meng Sha and Luo Xuan, doing great things but being cautious about one’s own life is not a hero. They talk about righteousness, but they care about their feathers, then don’t drag others into the water.”
“Their stupid snatching the bride plan, I’m not interested.”
