Nolan and the Secrets of the Empire Chapter 27

Dusk climbed up the window lattice, the sky was dim, and the yellowed painting on the wall disappeared into the endless darkness. Nolan Yan and Adrian Fu drank from each other's cups, completing the final ceremony, and then bowed deeply to the portrait of the Fu family's ancestors before turning around and stepping down the Golden Stage.

This ceremony was heavy and sad, making the already not-so-festive atmosphere even more depressing. Nolan Yan sent Adrian Fu to his horse, intending to ease the atmosphere, and said, "Next we should go back to the Marquis' Mansion, worship heaven and earth, and then we have to go back to thank the emperor for his grace. You and I both ran away without a trace, and the officials in the Ministry of Rites might even want to strangle us to death."

Adrian Fu sneered: "Let him come. I can beat ten with one hand."

The Northern Yan cavalrymen who came to watch the ceremony were not afraid of the excitement and laughed loudly. Nolan Yan smiled helplessly and shook his head, then jumped on his horse and rode side by side with Adrian Fu. The wedding procession and the Northern Yan army joined forces, and a large group of people and horses rushed towards the capital.

Everyone in Kyoto knew that Yan and Master Fu were getting married today. Many people were eagerly waiting, and some even ran to the streets to watch the excitement. They waited from dawn to dusk, but there was no movement. They were as anxious as ants on a hot pan, and everyone talked about it. Emperor Alexander Yuan was waiting to hear the news in the palace, and had sent people to the marquis's mansion to ask three times. The Minister of Rites was so angry that he fainted twice. He said he would not work anymore and insisted on retiring and returning home.
