The memorial service began at nine a.m. and ended at half past ten. Around eleven o'clock, basically everyone left. The family members were left.

Then there are the seven ancient martial arts cultivators.

I don't know these people from the Ouyang family, I heard that it is the old man's old acquaintance, and today I came to see the old man off, and I arranged it to the back hall leisurely, although I don't understand why, but everyone didn't ask much.

I was left alone, and after that, I leisurely went to the back hall to meet these important guests.

"I want to know who you are. For the sake of convenience, I told my family that I wanted to talk to a few guests alone. Now there are only Ouyang Ye and Youran and these guests left in the back hall.

"We are the descendants of the Zhongnan Shanhai family. An ancient martial arts cultivator like you. It's your identity that makes us curious. Again, the question that the elder had just answered.

"I'm the great-grandson and eldest daughter-in-law of the Ouyang family, I think you must not have just come to see off the old man. "I have heard of Zhong Nanshan, which has been a holy place for martial arts since ancient times. Where there used to be a few secluded families, they lived in seclusion for generations, although they practiced martial arts but did not participate in worldly things, only when the world was in turmoil, they would enter the world to save the world.

It is precisely because of the existence of such a group of people that many dynasties chose a virtuous lord who could save the world to help him obtain the world, so that the people could live a stable life.

Although their existence was beneficial to the people, it was a threat to the emperors. They never considered themselves to be unscrupulous, and the masters who helped traitors gain state power have always been a threat to them. Therefore, although some of the emperors of all dynasties have also accepted the help of these masters. But they are also afraid that one day these people will turn against them.

Therefore, for thousands of years, these hidden masters have been hunted down by emperors. However, because the geographical location of Zhongnan Mountain is relatively steep. And these masters are extraordinary, and it is not so easy to catch them.

This Hai family is a traditional hermit family in the legendary Zhongnan Mountain. I've read a little bit of these books in the space. But that was a long time ago, and you didn't expect that this family still existed.

"You are very smart, we really didn't expect to catch up with the old man's funeral when we came out this time. The place where we stayed seemed to be a secluded place. It takes a long time to come out. Originally, we were out of the mountain for other reasons, but I didn't expect the old man to leave so quickly, and it was a pity that I didn't catch up with the old man. The people of the Hai family answered the leisurely question very directly, and did not evade it.

"Can I know what is the reason for your trip this time?" Since it was an old acquaintance thirty years ago, there has never been contact over the years. The old man didn't mention them to anyone, and they must have a special reason for appearing so suddenly.

"I think, we should talk about this matter in a different place, is there a safe place?" This matter is very important, the people of the Hai family need to tell the people of the Ouyang family in a safe place. Originally, they thought that they could meet Ouyang Guo, the old man Ouyang, and tell him about it in person.

Unexpectedly, when they were about to arrive in the imperial capital, they actually heard the news of the old man's death. On the way here, they kept thinking about who their news should be passed on to if they arrived at Ouyang's house. Unexpectedly, she actually met the eldest daughter-in-law of the great-grandson of the Ouyang family, who was also an ancient martial arts cultivator, and it should be the most appropriate to sue her about this matter.

After leisurely, he took these guests back to the old mansion of the Ouyang family. This house was given to the old man by the state. Now that the old man is gone, the family has decided to continue to be the same as when the old man was there. Gather once a month in the old house, and let you organize this matter.

It can't be because the old man is gone, the brothers and sisters are estranged, and when the old man is there, he likes that the children are lively at home, and everyone will get together as if the old man is still there.

The key to the old mansion is now here, and these guests are friends of Old Man Ouyang, so it is convenient and safe to bring them to the old mansion.

Leisurely said to the family, and took the person back to the old house. The children of the Ouyang family also came back, and they always had to greet guests when they came to the house. Moreover, the old man's funeral has just ended, and their funeral leave has not yet ended, and everyone plans to stay in the old mansion for a few more days.

And the relatives on the leisurely side still return to live leisurely as before.

Returning to the old mansion, he leisurely took people to the study.

Since the people of the Hai family decided to tell Sù leisurely about the matter, they did not hide it anymore, and told them what they had known before with the old man and the purpose of this visit in the study.

It turned out that thirty years ago, during a border attack, the old man personally conscripted and led troops to pacify the frontier. When passing by Zhongnan Mountain, he suddenly received an order from the Gao family that bandits in this area lived in the mountains and forests for a long time to bring the people back, and asked the old man to bring these people back by the way.

This order itself makes people feel a little strange, this area is full of deep mountains and old forests, how can there be bandits? And the old man has not heard of bandits harassing nearby villagers along the way.

In addition, in the past, the suppression of bandits was the business of the local government, and even if they helped catch these bandits, they would eventually be handed over to the local government for trial, but why should they be brought back to the imperial capital? Or should they be punished on the spot?

It's just unreasonable. So the old man thought it was strange at the time. But he can't openly disobey the orders from above.

The old man used his soldiers like a god, not to mention that this time he went out with a large army, so no matter how skilled the masters in the mountains were, many of them eventually fell into the hands of the old man.

For these ancient martial arts cultivators, the most important thing for them is their integrity. When they were caught, they didn't think about going back alive, they would know for themselves when necessary, but they would never tell the secrets of these ancient martial arts cultivators, as well as their hiding place in Zhongnan Mountain.

Although the old man caught them at that time, he told his soldiers to be careful and cautious about these people.

On the one hand, when he received the order to suppress the bandits, the old man felt that something was wrong, and later when he mediated with these people, the old man found that these people were definitely not ordinary bandits, and there must be something he didn't know. Although he cannot openly disobey orders, he is by no means the one who kills innocents indiscriminately. He felt that he had to find out about this matter before making a decision.

Later, the old man personally interrogated these ancient martial arts cultivators, but looking at their appearance, it was determined that their identities were definitely not bandits.

The other party originally thought that he would be humiliated, but he didn't expect that Old Man Ouyang treated him politely, and said his suspicions, hoping that they could tell Old Man Sù the reason for this matter.

Although these ancient martial arts cultivators were in seclusion, they were not completely isolated from the world. They also go down the mountain every six months to exchange some daily necessities. They usually exchange game herbs from the mountains and the like, and by the way, listen to what has happened outside in the last six months.

They had already heard of the prestige of Ouyang Guo, the founding god of war in China, but they didn't expect to see it today under such circumstances.

Although the opportunity for them to meet was not a good time, but the hero cherishes the hero, and these ancient warriors all admire the old man very much, and do not doubt that the old man will be unfavorable to them after knowing their identity, so they tell their identity.

Only then did the old man understand why the Gao family wanted these people. They have claimed to be a democratic republic since the founding of the country, but in just a few decades, they have killed those who disagree with them or who may become a threat to their regime.

If it weren't for the people, the Ouyang family would not have followed the Gao family anymore. But fortunately, the Gao family didn't get through the Ouyang family to do these things, and they also knew that they would definitely not accept letting Ouyang Lin do this kind of thing.

For the sake of the people, the Ouyang family weighed the pros and cons, and felt that the Gao family was still a monarch who could make China prosperous, so they always supported the Gao family. Although some things are helpless, he has to do them. For example, this time the titular suppression of bandits.

These ancient martial arts cultivators did not directly tell the old man that they were ancient martial arts cultivators, but said that they were those so-called rivers and lakes who knew some kung fu.

Although they didn't say it explicitly, the old man had also heard that there was a group of heroes who would come out to help the virtuous overthrow the monarch whenever the monarch of the country was mediocre and incompetent. When the Gao family pulled the last emperor of the Qing Dynasty off the throne, these people also went abroad.

These people also quietly contributed to the war against the aggression of the foreign powers. It is really because of this that in those years, these ancient martial arts masters also sacrificed a lot.

Unexpectedly, to this day, they who have helped the Gao family have been chased and suppressed by the Gao family, which sounds really ironic.

is the most ruthless imperial family, if the former Gao family still had some human touch when they were not in that position, now they have long forgotten what human affection is and what conscience is.

After understanding the identities of these people, even if they didn't say anything else, the old man would have guessed it. He admired these people, and he felt that he could not bring these people back to the imperial capital and hand them over to the Gao family without conscience, or kill them on the spot.

After careful consideration, the old man took them to suppress the external attacks on the border, and after that, he replaced them with the corpses of the enemy soldiers he had killed, and said in a unified voice that these people tried to escape in the war against the enemy and were finally punished on the spot.
