Before Cen Yan, the adopted son, returned to Anping Town, the news of Cen Dalang's death had spread all over Anping Town.

Almost the entire town knew that the former martial champion and civil and military general of the Cen family had been dismissed by the saint. Even more unlucky, Cen Dalang was even killed by mountain bandits in the mountain road in Huaizhou.

Poor Doctor Cen went to pick up his brother outside Huaizhou City, and ended up picking up his body.

For a while, everyone in the town was talking about the Cen family. Most people are gloating, saying that Cen Erye and his wife are not blessed, and they have no eldest son at a young age, and the Cen family is afraid that there is no hope for their future. The few people who have received the favor of Cen Erniang, and still have some conscience, spontaneously wore white and hemp to Cen Er's house to mourn, comforting Cen Erye and Cen Erniang, who were grieving the loss of their beloved son and eldest brother.

Cen Erye, Lin and Cen Erniang were heartbroken, and "cried and fainted" in front of Cen Dalang's mourning hall several times, unable to preside over the funeral.

Cen Dalang's funeral was presided over by Cen Yan, the adopted son of Cen Erye, who has been a layman in the legend, and Yumo Steward.

Outsiders don't know that this unsightly Cen Yan is Cen Dalang.

Cen Dalang, who is known as Cen Yan, personally presided over his funeral, and looked at the people who were familiar with and did not know the Cen family, especially his parents and sisters, and other Cen family members, who cried in front of his mourning hall, and his mood was very complicated.

After all, there are not many people in the world who can preside over their own funerals. It was a special experience.

This Cen Dalang lying in the coffin was the result of Cen Erniang and Master Fortune Operator who painstakingly found a corpse similar to Cen Dalang in a certain righteous village, and Master Fortune Operator personally used the skills he learned from his old friend to retouch the face of the corpse into the appearance of Cen Dalang, deceiving everyone.

Cen Erniang, Master Bu Operator, Cen Erye, Lin and Yumo, Chang Yan, Peony and others, who knew the truth, secretly smeared garlic and chili water on their sleeves in order to play the whole show, and used their sleeves to cover their faces and rub their eyes at every turn, crying until their eyes were red and swollen. Tears flowed profusely.

completely deceived the spies who came to the Cen family to mourn among the ordinary people, and those spies who were sent by the six princes and the saints to the Cen family's funeral to confirm whether Cen Dalang was really dead.

Cen Sanlang is no longer a member of the Cen family in Anping Town because he has returned to the sect, and he cannot return to Anping Town to attend Cen Dalang's funeral because he participated in the Spring Festival. The day after the scientific examination, he himself wore a vegetarian shirt and went to more than a dozen temples on the outskirts of Beijing with great fanfare, and sprinkled tens of thousands of taels of silver to invite the hosts of those temples. Do things for Cen Dalang and surpass his undead.

Cen Moshan's mansion, which did not know the truth, also closed its doors and banned meat for a month to show condolences for Cen Dalang's untimely death.

In fact, Cen Moshan, as elders, can not be like this.

But Cen Moshan was grateful to Cen Dalang for holding the lifeblood of the saint when he had to reuse him to bring down the third prince in the sage, and he insisted on letting the sage push him to the position of the elder of the pavilion a few years in advance, making his career go further. He joined the cabinet a few years earlier than he expected, and is more likely to compete for the position of first assistant in the future.

However, Cen Dalang was the younger generation of the Cen family who was expelled from Hong'an, and Cen Moshan couldn't say that the family held a funeral for Cen Dalang. As an elder, it is impossible for him to wear linen and filial piety for Cen Dalang. had to use the method of banning meat for a month to express his grief.

Zhao Yue, Jiang Congmao, Yang Peng and others, who were far away in the East China Sea, received the news that Cen Dalang was "deceased", and they all took their soldiers and men to kneel in the direction of Anping Town and kowtow to General Cen in their minds three times.

The soldiers who were subdued by Cen Dalang at the beginning. Almost all on the day of Cen Dalang's funeral, they got together to drink, and then the drunk and the undrunk all hugged and cried. Scolding thieves for not having long eyes, so that good people don't live long.

The scene of thousands of soldiers gathering on the school field and crying greatly shocked some families in the East China Sea.

When this news reached Beijing, it also made the Shengshang, the Six Princes and other people who wanted Cen Dalang to die very happy: fortunately, they got rid of Cen Dalang's henchman as soon as possible. Especially the saints, who boast of being wise. took Cen Dalang's military power early and asked for his life, and did not give Cen Dalang a chance to sit down.

It was deliberately pretending to be impulsive and brainless, provoking the five princes who were sent to Mobei to defend the city, and after knowing the movements of those soldiers in the East China Sea, they also admired Cen Dalang very much. He had only heard that Cen Dalang was good at leading troops to fight and was an excellent general.

But I didn't know that his prestige in the army was so high! It's a surrender!

The fifth prince expressed regret for Cen Dalang's death, but it was a pity that such an outstanding talent was killed by his mediocre father. He hadn't even had time to talk to Cen Dalang and take him under his command.

The fifth prince was also one of the few who knew that Cen Dalang was one of the people who was killed by the Holy Lord.

The five princes grew up in the palace since they were children, and their scheming is absolutely incomparable. When he saw that the three princes were abolished by the saint and went to guard the emperor's mausoleum, he saw that the saint was bent on paving the way for the six princes, and he saw that the prince's power was in full swing, and he knew that he was not the opponent of the prince and the six princes, and he was afraid that the saint would also play the three princes' tricks against him.

In order to protect himself, the fifth prince deliberately defiled himself, pretended to be reckless and stupid, which provoked the anger of the saint, took his military power, threw him under the command of Liu Guobang, the "old enemy" of Mobei, and asked him to lead a team of small soldiers to defend the city.

The Shengshang, the crown prince, the six princes and others all thought that they would take back the military power of the fifth prince, throw him to the bitter cold land of Mobei to defend the city, and arrange him to Liu Guobang, a second-rank master who had always looked down on him, and would definitely take him hostage to the greatest extent, making him hopeless of seizing the heir.

They didn't know that the discord between the five princes and Liu Guobang was an illusion deliberately created by the five princes and Liu Guobang to confuse the public. Under the recommendation of his uncle, the fifth prince discovered his talent by chance long before Liu Guobang was promoted, and he had secretly taken him under his command.

Later, after Liu Guobang was promoted, as a scholar from a poor family, the reason why he had a smooth official career in the court was the result of the power of the five princes and his uncle's family behind the scenes.

It's just that they are very secretive, and the five princes and Liu Guobang have always had political discord in the court, and when they meet, they quarrel at every turn and break up unhappily. The fifth prince even relied on his identity several times to embarrass Liu Guobang. Liu Guobang also secretly stumbled the five princes many times, making him unable to complete the errands given to him by the saint.

Over time, the five princes and Liu Guobang became well-known mortal enemies.

Therefore, when the three of the crown prince, the third prince, and the fifth prince actually chased the title of the prince of the country, sent troops to them, and let them go out to fight, he deliberately sent the five princes to Mobei, where Liu Guobang was in charge, so that the five princes were constrained everywhere, and the few battles with the Northern Barbarians ended not very well, and among his brothers, the table was the worst.

It wasn't until later that the saint was angry and threw the five princes to Mobei to fend for himself, thinking that he had successfully grasped this son, but he didn't know that this qiē was the result of the deliberate calculations of the five princes and the five princes' uncles who supported him.

Obviously, Cen Dalang is not the only one in this world, who knows what Taoguang is to raise obscurity, sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight and the fisherman profits.

It's just that the Five Princes and Cen Dalang are very deeply hidden, and their camouflage is almost perfect, and neither of them has discovered the other party's deployment and plans. So later, the two revealed their true intentions, and after the soldiers met, they were surprised by each other's strength. (To be continued.) )
