Chapter 16 The Sixteenth Blood Splattered Bridal Chamber

Chu Liuxiang snorted softly, and asked tentatively, "You... are you okay?" Hu Tiehua smiled and said, "Very good." Chu Liuxiang said: "You...have you seen your bride?" Hu Tiehua laughed loudly and said, "Do you really think I'm a stupid son-in-law? Even the new daughter-in-law ran out of the bridal chamber without looking at her?" Chu Liuxiang touched his nose and said, "Then you...you...are you not angry?" Hu Tiehua said with a smile: "Why should I be angry? I have never been so happy." Chu Liuxiang stared at him and said, "Are you sober?"

Hu Tiehua said: "I have never been so sober." Chu Liuxiang was stunned. Hu Tiehua said leisurely: "Of course you already know that my daughter-in-law is not Princess Pipa." Chu Liuxiang said: "Yes!" Hu Tiehua said: "So you think, since my new daughter-in-law doesn't dare to show her face, she must be a big bastard and an ugly monster, otherwise she wouldn't dare to see people...isn't it?" Chu Liuxiang smiled and said, "Maybe it's not too ugly, but..." Hu Tiehua laughed and said, "You don't need to feel bad for me, let alone comfort me. Let me tell you, my new wife is not only not ugly, but also ten times more beautiful than Princess Pipa."

Chu Liuxiang was really stunned this time - since this eldest princess is so beautiful, why didn't she dare to see people before?He really didn't believe it. Hu Tiehua said loudly: "Don't you believe it?" Chu Liuxiang rubbed his nose and said with a smile, "This...maybe...maybe..." Hu Tiehua jumped up and said loudly: "Okay! If you don't believe me, I will take you to see her." Before Chu Liuxiang could speak, Hu Tiehua had already pulled him out. It was quiet outside the tent, not even a single person. Chu Liuxiang smiled wryly, "You're going to drag me into the bridal chamber early in the morning, is that plausible?"

Hu Tiehua stared and said, "My brother, what does it matter?" Chu Liuxiang said: "Even if you think it's okay, but what about the bride?" Hu Tiehua smiled and said: "I tell you, my new daughter-in-law is not only beautiful, but also has a very good temper, gentle, considerate, and... and... I just don't know what to say." After hearing what he said, Chu Liuxiang couldn't help but feel happy about it, and said with a smile: "It seems that after all, stupid people are blessed with stupidity." Before he finished speaking, Hu Tiehua dragged him into the bridal chamber.

The tent was newly erected, and it looked like a heavenly palace inside.Under the fringed brocade tent, the bride was turned into a red wave, and the bride became lazy and was still sleeping, only revealing a pillow of dark cloud-like hair. As soon as Hu Tiehua walked in, he yelled: "A guest is coming, get up quickly! This is my best friend, just like my brother, you don't need to be embarrassed." After three months of marriage, other people are still shy when young couples meet, but he has not been married for half a day, and he is like an old couple. Although Chu Liuxiang smiled secretly when he saw it, he couldn't feel happy for Hu Tiehua. If the bride didn't have the same temperament as him, how could he be like this?

But the bride still did not show her head. Hu Tiehua strode over and said, "You want to see him anyway, why bother..." His voice suddenly stopped, and the blood on his face suddenly faded away. Blood! The edge of the brand new embroidered quilt was stained with blood. Hu Tiehua reached out tremblingly, and lifted the quilt. The spring in the bridal chamber was warm, and the quilt turned red, but the person lying in the quilt was unexpectedly a dead woman. Hu Tiehua stumbled like a tall building, and his whole body softened. Chu Liuxiang rushed over to support him, then changed color and said, "When did you leave here?"

Hu Tiehua said: "I... I just went out to find you..." Chu Liuxiang said: "In this moment, someone came in and killed you! Who could this person be? What kind of hatred does he have with you? Why did he kill you on the eve of your wedding..." Hu Tiehua jumped up again, and shouted: "Do you think this is my new wife?" Chu Liuxiang was surprised and said, "Isn't it?" Hu Tiehua said: "Of course not, who is this woman, I have never seen her in my life." Chu Liuxiang was startled again, and said, "Then...then where is the bride?"

Hu Tiehua shook his head, then yelled again, "Yes! Where did she go? She was clearly sleeping here just now." While yelling, he searched everywhere, even under the bed, but the bride was nowhere to be seen, but a strange woman died on her bed. Who is this woman?How could you come to the bridal chamber?Who killed her?Where did the bride go? Hu Tiehua just went out for a walk, how could there be so many amazing changes in the bridal chamber?Chu Liuxiang had never seen such a strange thing in her life. I saw that the female corpse's face was swollen, and she must have been terribly ugly when she was alive, but at this moment, someone grabbed a bloody hole in her chest, and her appearance was even more indescribably horrifying.

Hu Tiehua paused and said, "What's going on? How could this woman come to my bed naked? When did she come? Doesn't my wife know?" Chu Liuxiang said in a deep voice, "This woman didn't come here by herself." Hu Tiehua said: "How do you know?" Chu Liuxiang said: "Although there is blood on the quilt, there is no blood on the bed. It is obvious that this woman was moved to this bed after she was killed." Hu Tiehua said: "This is even more strange. After others killed her, why did they move here?" Chu Liuxiang said: "When you went out, you regretted that the bride is really still sleeping on this bed?"

Hu Tiehua said: "That's right, she was still sleeping soundly, now...why is she gone now?" Chu Liuxiang frowned, and really couldn't think of any secrets in it. Hu Tiehua had already rushed out, shouting loudly: "Come here! Someone died in my room, come and see who this person is?" Princess Pipa was the first to come, and then King Qiuci, who was still hungover, staggered in. When they saw the corpse on the bed, their expressions changed drastically. Hu Tiehua said: "Who is this woman? You..." Before he could finish speaking, King Qiuci grabbed his skirt and shouted, "Why did you kill her?"

Hu Tiehua said angrily: "I killed her? Did you see a ghost? I don't know her before, why did I kill her?" King Qiuci hissed, "Even though she is ugly, she is still your wife. How could you do such a cruel thing? You...you are not a human, but a beast!" Hu Tiehua was taken aback again, and said in amazement: "What did you say? This woman is... is my wife?" King Qiuci's eyes were red, and he yelled, "Even if she was born ugly, she is still a golden branch and a jade leaf. How can she not be worthy of a rascal like you? You... Even if you don't want to marry her, you shouldn't..." Hu Tiehua waved him and pushed him to the ground, and said in shock, "This man is crazy, this man is crazy." King Qiuci roared, "You are crazy." Chu Liuxiang was also full of surprise, helped him up from the ground, and said in a deep voice, "Who is this girl on the bed? Does the lord recognize her?" King Qiuci said angrily, "My daughter, how could I not recognize her?" Chu Liuxiang moved and said: "The bride you gave to Hu Tiehua last night is this girl?" King Qiuci said: "Naturally it is her." Hu Tiehua yelled again, and said: "It's not her, it's definitely not her. I can see clearly that my daughter-in-law is a peerless beauty, not this ugly monster." King Qiuci also roared angrily: "I marry my own daughter to you, don't I know it myself?" The bridegroom insisted that this was not the bride, but the father-in-law insisted it was true. Such a strange thing is rare in the world. Chu Liuxiang was caught in the middle, and he didn't know who to listen to. Hu Tiehua stomped his feet and said, "If you say that this ugly monster is the bride, who was it that I saw last night? Could it be that someone else will pretend to be the bride?" King Qiuci said angrily: "You killed her, and you still want to lie to people with these nonsense?" Hu Tiehua also said angrily: "Why should I lie to you? Could it be that I met a ghost last night?" Princess Pipa suddenly said: "Let me ask you, if you say this is not the bride, then where is the bride you saw last night? As long as you find her, we will believe you." Hu Tiehua said: "I...I..." He really didn't know where the "bride" went last night, he only went out for a while, and the "bride" seemed to have disappeared miraculously. Princess Pipa sneered: "Even if it wasn't my sister you saw last night, how could my sister die on your bed? You didn't kill her, who killed her?" Hu Tiehua said: "It must be that you deliberately dumped the bride, but came to wrong me." King Qiuci said angrily: "Fart! Would I kill my own daughter?" The facts are all there, and Hu Tiehua himself knew that what he said was really unbelievable, so he rushed over to hold Chu Liuxiang, and said anxiously: "You...why don't you speak for me, don't you believe me?" Chu Liuxiang sighed and said, "What do you want me to say?" Hu Tiehua jumped up and hissed: "Okay! You don't believe me, even you help others to wrong me, so what if I kill her? Who wants you to trick me into marrying this ugly monster." Princess Pipa scolded: "If you kill someone, you will have to pay with your life." Amidst the scolding, she stabbed Hu Tiehua's throat with her ten fingertips. This move was quick, but what kind of person is Hu Tiehua, how can he take such martial arts in his eyes, and shouted angrily: "Go away! Although I don't want to hurt you, you don't want to provoke me." With a wave of his iron palm, Princess Pipa's body was thrown out. King Qiuci said: "You...do you want to leave?" Hu Tiehua laughed wildly: "So what if I leave? Is there anyone else who can stop me?" King Qiuci roared, "You can't leave." Amidst the roar, seven or eight golden spears stabbed straight in from outside the tent. Hu Tiehua didn't even look at it, just copied the two golden daggers in his hand, and moved slightly behind, two people were dragged in and fell to the ground. Amidst the exclamation of the other warriors, Jin Ge stabbed over in panic. Hu Tiehua's strikes were like the wind, only to hear a series of sounds of "Ouch, plop, click", seven or eight warriors have fallen to the ground, but the Chang Ge has been snapped. King Qiuci had seen such awe-inspiring power several times before, and he was already stunned. I saw Hu Tiehua striding forward boldly, and said sharply: "Whoever dares to come over again, I will smash his head to pieces." There are a bunch of Wu Ren holding golden spears in their hands in the distance, but no one dares to rush over. Suddenly, a figure flashed, and a person blocked his way. Hu Tiehua's complexion changed, but he laughed maniacally again: "Okay! Okay! You're here too. Let's compete here today." Chu Liuxiang sighed, and said, "How could I fight you?" Hu Tiehua said happily: "In that case, let's go together!" Chu Liuxiang said: "I can't even leave." Hu Tiehua said: "Why?" Chu Liuxiang sighed: "If you leave, the grievance will be even more unclear." Hu Tiehua said angrily: "So what if I can't wash it? As long as I have a clear conscience, no matter what others say, I will treat him as a fart." Chu Liuxiang said: "Other matters are fine, but this matter must be clarified." Hu Tiehua sneered and said: "I knew you were reluctant to leave, okay, if you don't leave, I will go." But before he took two steps, Chu Liuxiang stopped him again. Hu Tiehua said angrily: "You really won't let me go?" Chu Liuxiang asked, "Where are you going?" Hu Tiehua said: "Where can't I go?" Chu Liuxiang sighed: "The desert is not comparable to the Central Plains, I'm afraid you won't be able to go anywhere by yourself." Hu Tiehua shouted loudly: "Since you refuse to accompany me, you don't need to bother me even if I die." Chu Liuxiang sighed: "Do you know that the person who harmed you just wanted you to leave regardless of everything. Once you left, you won her heart." Hu Tiehua roared: "What do you want from me?" Chu Liuxiang said in a deep voice: "I want you to stay here. Within three days, I will definitely find that person for you. If you have to leave now, I will try my best to stop you." Hu Tiehua looked up to the sky and let out a long sigh, and said with a wry smile: "If someone talks to me like this, it would be strange if I didn't fight him hard, but you... you old bug, I can't do anything when I see you." He stomped his feet and said, "Okay! I'll just listen to you and stay here. Anyway, even if you want my head, I have no choice but to cut off my hands and give them to you." King Qiuci heard it clearly from afar, and he became more courageous, and shouted: "Come on! Take him down quickly." The Jin Ge warrior also became more courageous, and rushed over with a loud cry. Suddenly there was another series of sounds of "Ouch, thump, click", more than a dozen long daggers somehow fell into Chu Liuxiang's hands, and when he bent his hands, it broke like a brittle bamboo. King Qiuci changed his color and said, "You...why are you?" Chu Liuxiang said lightly: "He said he would never leave if he stayed here. Within three days, I will definitely find the real culprit, but none of you can touch a finger of him." King Qiuci said: "He... what if he leaves?" Chu Liuxiang said: "If he leaves, I will pay for your daughter's life." King Qiuci said: "What if you can't find the real culprit within three days?" Hu Tiehua said loudly: "If he can't find the real culprit within three days, I will also pay for your daughter's life." These two people actually put their lives in each other's hands so casually, such good friends are indeed very rare in the world. King Qiuci was stunned for a while, then said, "Okay, I believe you." Chu Liuxiang has pulled Hu Tiehua back to their own tent. Princess Pipa sighed softly, and murmured: "These two people obviously could leave, but they chose not to leave, and instead made such an oath. Why did they do it? Didn't my sister really kill him?" King Qiuci said: "Who killed the one who didn't kill him? Is there really a woman in the world who is willing to pretend to be someone else's wife?" Hu Tiehua also muttered to herself: "To be honest, I don't really want to leave. I don't want to be reconciled until this matter is clarified. If the person who died is really the daughter of King Kucha, I saw you last night. Who is that person? Why did she come to pretend to be the bride? What good does it do her?" Chu Liuxiang sighed and said, "You still can't figure it out?" Hu Tiehua said: "I can't figure it out." Chu Liuxiang said: "First of all, you must believe that the girl who died is indeed King Qiuci's eldest daughter and your bride." Hu Tiehua said loudly: "Why should I believe it?" Chu Liuxiang smiled wryly and said, "It's because she was too ugly that King Qiuci has been hiding it from you. Otherwise, since Princess Pipa dared to come out and run around, why would she hide and dare not see people?" Hu Tiehua sighed and stopped talking. Chu Liuxiang said: "You have to know that she was not killed this morning. I have seen that she has been dead for at least four or five hours." Hu Tiehua moved and said: "Four or five hours? Could it be that she was killed by others before I entered the bridal chamber?" Chu Liuxiang said: "Exactly." Hu Tiehua said: "But her body..." Chu Liuxiang said: "There is also blood under the bed. After that man killed her, he must have hidden her under the bed, but he pretended to be a bride and slept on the bed." Hu Tiehua lost his voice: "You said... You said that when we were in bed last night, there was a dead body under the bed?" Chu Liuxiang said: "Not bad." Hu Tiehua shuddered Lingling, and said: "She...she knows that there is a dead body under the bed, but she can still be in bed with me...with me..." He felt that he was about to vomit immediately, and he couldn't even speak. Chu Liuxiang said: "When you came out to look for me today, she immediately moved the corpse under the bed onto the bed, just to put the blame on you and make King Qiuci think that you killed him."
