Beside her, there was an old man.
After seeing his appearance, everyone's eyes almost popped out. It was the commander-in-chief himself!
Because they had been tricked by the imposter just now, many people subconsciously looked over and found that the imposter was still there. Only then did they dare to confirm that the person standing next to Guan Ruolan was the real Shangguan Guoqiang!
It turned out that Grand Master Chen and Guan Ruolan had agreed to act separately. Guan Ruolan would go to rescue Shangguan Guoqiang, while Grand Master Chen would come to disturb and delay time.
This was also a foolproof plan. Once something happened to Shangguan Guoqiang, the impact would be extremely bad. Even if there was a scapegoat like Shangguan Jie, it could not be erased. The reputation of the commander-in-chief was not only in Hua Xia. Due to his various actions in the last century, including the murder of the Shangguan family, he had attracted widespread attention from all over the world.
All kinds of praises and praises were endless. After all, the commander-in-chief, who could completely sacrifice his character for the country, had reached a very high level.
At that time, some unscrupulous foreign media would report it, which would be a big trouble. Fortunately, Guan Ruolan lived up to expectations and brought Shangguan Guoqiang with her.
She set off early this morning and searched until sunset before she found the hiding place of the commander-in-chief. She took him with her and rushed all the way here.
But then again, although the commander-in-chief was found, he also had no evidence. After all, the person who drugged him and knocked him out was indeed Shangguan Jie. At the moment when he fell down, it could be said that he was full of regrets.
Unexpectedly, he was wise all his life, but he was muddle-headed and raised an ungrateful wolf. At this time, seeing the tragic state of Shangguan Jie's head and body, the commander-in-chief was a little emotional. He could only say that this was what he deserved. But this was also good. If it were him, he would not do such a thing.
After all, Wan 'er was going to get married in the future. It was rare to have someone by her side. After all, Shangguan Jie had accompanied her for ten or twenty years. It would be a lie to say that he had no feelings for her.
Perhaps he was destined to be a lonely old man …
His melancholy was indescribable. However, since he was here, he would not allow the engagement ceremony to continue.
"In-law!" Old Master Ouyang's expression changed. Why did the real commander-in-chief come at such a crucial moment?
"Don't call me in-law. There's no need to continue with this engagement ceremony," the commander-in-chief said firmly.
"What do you mean by this? Are you going to break your promise in front of everyone?!" Master Ouyang frowned.
"Yes, as long as this old man still has a breath left in him, I can't just watch as Wan 'er enters the tiger's den. Moreover, I think you should be very clear about what this farce is all about!" Shangguan Guoqiang revealed a trace of dissatisfaction.
He exuded the majesty of an old commander. Even a HuaJin Master like Ouyang Feng felt a little weak.
"Hey, why do you all like to discredit me? It's obvious that Shangguan Jie made a mistake and had to have a relationship with my Ouyang family. Besides, commander-in-chief, don't forget that this engagement was proposed by you first. Now you want to go back on your words. Isn't it a little unreasonable?" Old Master Ouyang was slightly reproachful.
Obviously, with so many guests present today, Ouyang was always using the pretext to make a fuss. Even if the engagement ceremony couldn't be held smoothly, the responsibility was on the Shangguan family. On the contrary, he seemed more innocent.
"What I want to do, is it up to you, a martial artist, to tell me what to do?"
The commander-in-chief didn't take it seriously. Even if he knew Old Master Ouyang's intention, he still wanted to vent his anger and make the Ouyang family lose face in front of so many guests!
This domineering rhetorical question didn't give Old Master Ouyang face at all. His face was a little ugly, and many people looked at him gloatingly.
"Well, in our Nan Yun Province, we must listen to the commander-in-chief. Since you want to break the engagement, I will obey."
As a HuaJin Master, Old Master Ouyang's identity was there, but the commander-in-chief didn't give him any leeway.
If it weren't for the presence of Grand Master Chen and others, perhaps Old Master Ouyang would have been furious. After all, in the past, the Ouyang family had often mocked the commander-in-chief, including the time when they teamed up with Shangguan Jie to propose a toast. Shangguan Guoqiang had a good temper, but it didn't mean that he didn't have a sore spot. To put it bluntly, with Shangguan Jie's courage, he definitely couldn't do such a bold thing. In the commander-in-chief's view, even if Shangguan Jie's conduct was poor, he didn't deserve to die. If it weren't for the Ouyang family adding fuel to the fire, Shangguan Jie wouldn't have died!
"Well, at least you know what's good for you." The commander-in-chief nodded.
"Grandpa."
At this time, Wan 'er couldn't control her emotions at all. Two lines of crystal tears fell down. She trotted toward the commander-in-chief and threw herself into his arms.
"Good Wan 'er, I've made you suffer." The commander-in-chief patted her back and comforted her softly.
In the past few days when he was imprisoned by Shangguan Jie, he was locked in a small, damp, dark room. Although food and water were provided, he had no appetite. It could be seen that in just a few days, he had aged a lot. His haggard face had lost his heroic spirit and energetic state. Instead, he looked like an old man in his twilight years.
Even those who were on good terms with the Ouyang family sighed. Time waited for no man. In the blink of an eye, the iron man who defended the stability of the territory had reached the final stage of life, old age, illness, and death.
In the end, they still unscrupulously sided with the Ouyang family. It was really a bit black-hearted. Of course, in terms of interests, there couldn't be any sympathy.
"You guy, you really have the guts to pretend to be an old man!"
As Wan 'er whispered a few words in the commander-in-chief's ear, his eyes fell on the imposter, and he said angrily.
"Commander-in-chief, it's undeniable that I'm responsible for this matter. But every injustice has its perpetrator, and every debt has its debtor. This is your grandson's idea, so I can only do as he says …" The imposter explained with a trembling voice. This feeling was a bit like the "Real and Fake Monkey King".
And this imposter only had a stinky appearance. The commander-in-chief took out a gun and aimed it at the imposter's head.
He tried to get the truth out of his mouth that the Ouyang family was the culprit, but this person refused to admit it. In the end, the commander-in-chief had to shoot him.
In this way, under the insistence of the commander-in-chief, this unprecedented engagement ceremony ended in a farce. Those soldiers who used the imposter's power to intimidate others were also expelled from the army.
