The onlookers immediately felt drawn into the excitement and began to loudly goad, "Swear it, swear it!"
Xiao Song gave a faint smile and said amicably, "Since we can't come to an agreement and I don't necessarily have to marry the Lady today, then Xiao will have to force his way through."
With that, he turned and said, "Brothers, let's go."
Behind him, the young men of the Xiao Family had long been eager to get going. Everyone knew that the Xiao Family produced many talented in both letters and arms. The Zheng family from Xingyang was the standard gentry among the seven notable families and had not produced a warrior for over a hundred years. Zheng Chengmin craned his neck and shouted, "They're stealing the bride! The Xiao Family from Lanling is stealing the bride!"
Seeing that a skirmish was about to break out, everyone quickly pulled red cotton fabric from their sleeves to wrap around their clubs to avoid accidentally causing injury.
