Chapter 1311: Travel Wedding

"Are the ceremonial cannons ready?"

"What about the ceremonial robes, the ceremonial robes!"

"Yinzhou Drunk, Yinzhou Drunk!"

The Ministry of Rites of Longyan is currently in a state of total chaos.

This is, after all, the wedding of the Chief Councilor!

This is, after all, the wedding of their Longyang Princess!

Let's put it this way: in the eyes of many, Xie Chan's current status is absolutely higher than that of Xie Ming. What does Xie Ming count for? The Longyan Emperor? Forget it; he is just a canary kept in the Imperial Palace, a mascot. And Xie Chan? She is Liu Zheng's proper, legitimate wife!

If Xie Chan says a word, Liu Zheng will listen.

This is where the difference lies.

And as for Liu Zheng, he launches a million-strong army at the slightest provocation.

Likewise, it only takes one word.

Who can compare to that?

"My Lady, today we should invite the Chief Councilor over for a fitting."

Someone said from the side.

Gu Jin is the person in charge of Liu Zheng's wedding this time.

She nodded and gave the order.

Who would have thought.

Half an hour later, several people ran in, anxious and flustered.

"It's bad, My Lady!"

"My Lady..."

"What is going on?"

Gu Jin felt a bit dizzy.

The wedding date is only a month away; please, don't cause trouble for yourself!

"My Lady, the Chief Councilor, he has disappeared!"

The servant was covered in sweat and on the verge of tears.

"What?"

Gu Jin nearly face-planted onto the floor.

Disappeared?

Where did he run off to?

She roared like a madwoman: "What about the Longyang Princess?"

"She... she is also missing, and I heard that the two of them have not been seen for seven days."

"What did you say?"

Gu Jin was going crazy!

She knew it; this guy would definitely cause trouble at the last minute!

"Search!"

"Find them for me! Even if you have to search the heavens above and the yellow springs below, you must find them!"

"Yes! My Lady!"

Gu Jin was so angry she nearly fainted. In fact, when she first decided to take on this role, she had negotiated with Liu Zheng's side. At the beginning, Liu Zheng, this guy, was still full of interest, but after she explained some things to him, this guy actually felt it was too troublesome.

He kept suggesting ways to streamline the process.

How could that be!

Traditional rituals for weddings and funerals all have strict procedures. Moreover, Liu Zheng and Xie Chan have clearly reached a national level of protocol.

Even with three months of preparation, Gu Jin felt the time was already stretched thin.

And yet, they actually ran away?

This time, Gu Jin had volunteered to be in charge of the wedding. She wanted to carry forward the traditional culture of Longyan. She was under immense pressure. One must know that many of Longyan's friendly neighbors and allied nations were sending people. She heard that even the former Crown Prince Xie Fang was coming.

With so many important figures and such a grand occasion, Gu Jin naturally could not afford to be careless.

But...

"Bastards!"

"They are both bastards!"

Gu Jin naturally could not find Liu Zheng.

Because at this moment, Liu Zheng had already brought Xie Chan and Pei Qianyun onto the Pacific Ocean.

"Liu Zheng, is this really okay?"

The Prince of Yong beside him wore a bitter smile.

Thinking back to when his "Black Dragon" had been at sea for three days and Liu Zheng and the others suddenly popped out, his mood at that moment was simply...

You two are supposed to be getting married!

And yet

You snuck onto my ship, wanting to follow along to Europe?

What does that make those people in Longyan who are running around busy? Isn't this a recipe for murder?

Liu Zheng rubbed his temples and chuckled: "Don't worry, Prince of Yong. I have already left behind two body doubles to perform the wedding ceremony for us in Longyan. I truly couldn't stand those headache-inducing procedures. Do you know? Three days, three whole days, I would have to be pulled around by them like a puppet!"

Xie Chan, who was beside him, also nodded: "It was annoying to death! We are having a travel wedding!"

The Prince of Yong was left speechless, not knowing whether to laugh or cry.

This simple and adorable Xie Chan always made one's mood improve, no matter what it had been before.

Liu Zheng's mention of a "traveling wedding" made Xie Chan very excited.

Just imagine, in all of Longyan, who had ever had a precedent for a traveling wedding? Moreover, this was no ordinary traveling wedding, but a traveling wedding across the entire world!

When Xie Chan heard this proposal, she became excited all at once.

Xie Chan was never a person who liked trouble; that very evening, she packed her belongings and snuck onto this ship with Liu Zheng.

"But..."

The Prince of Yong sighed deeply.

Liu Zheng said indifferently, "Alright, alright, why say so much? By now they should know I am no longer in Longyan, and as for what to do, that is their business."

Originally, Liu Zheng had been quite looking forward to this wedding.

But after participating in the preparations a few times, he gave up directly...

Damn it.

In the sweltering heat, wearing those thick garments, being pushed and pulled around like a fool.

Liu Zheng hardened his heart and thought, fine, let's run.

He really was not suited for those cumbersome rituals of this ancient era.

Going to Europe for a trip, wouldn't that be better?

Unexpectedly, Xie Chan also fully agreed with his proposal and was incomparably excited. She believed that a traveling wedding was indeed a very novel thing. Following the Longyan army to conquer the entire world—what could be sweeter than that?

The Prince of Yong was once again left speechless, not knowing whether to laugh or cry.

They were crazy.

These two people were truly crazy.

Since things had reached this point, what other Method did he have?

Knowing he could not persuade the two of them, the Prince of Yong said calmly, "Lord Liu, this time our million-strong army is advancing simultaneously; I fear the European side has long been prepared. We still cannot underestimate the unity of the European Catholicism countries."

Liu Zheng took a deep breath.

The scent of the sea surface made his mind much clearer.

He glanced at the Prince of Yong and chuckled, "It seems the Prince of Yong has done his homework well this time."

The Prince of Yong gave a sly laugh.

Going out to war, how could one not do their homework?

The Prince of Yong had recently learned quite a bit about European history.

While researching it, he found it rather novel.

What kind of people were they, to have relied on a single sect to endure for so many years?

In Longyan, this was almost an impossible thing.

A sect?

God?

Although Longyan also believed in the existence of various gods, Longyan would not use these to rule over others. But Europe? The power of the Bishop could actually directly designate an Emperor.

That was a bit exaggerated.

It truly was a magical place.

This time, this Teresa of Austria actually wanted the Bishop to recognize her status as Empress of the Holy Roman Empire.

The Prince of Yong felt that this woman was indeed not simple.

Liu Zheng, however, laughed heartily: "What the Prince of Yong says indeed requires consideration. But the Prince of Yong must understand that when it comes to playing Strategy, the Longyan are the ancestors of the world."

"Heh, since they like to use a sect to unite people."

"Then why,"

"can we not use a sect to attack their sect?"

Liu Zheng smiled slightly.

The Prince of Yong's eyes lit up as he listened.
