The day before yesterday, he and Gu Daoyuan sent Edo and Zhong Xu to lead the troops to retreat ten miles to the north, because there was a small village there, and there were less than twenty households in the village.

But unlike the other villages, there is a ferry terminal where ships can dock.

Although the width of the water surface does not seem to be much different, the yellow water is more turbulent, and the water depth is generally shallow, so there are naturally not so many deep-water docks for large ships to dock.

Fang Hengxin looked at Gu Daoyuan, he didn't understand how many things this weak scholar had in his head, he could even accurately say that there was a deep-water ferry in a village thousands of miles away from the Qin State, it seemed that in the future, Gu Daoyuan would definitely be the fierce opponent of Zuo Daren in the court.

But at this time, Fang Hengxin only admired Gu Daoyuan from the bottom of his heart, at least with that deep-water dock, it would no longer be a dangerous thing for the 30,000 Qin troops to return to China.

As for the future, let's talk about it later.

At noon, after three poles, the funeral procession came to the foot of Qu Mountain, where the mausoleum of the Duke of Qi had already been repaired, just waiting for the master to be buried.

The celebrant officials began their work, reading the rituals, arranging the burial goods according to the ritual system, and slaughtering the six animals in turn.

A series of red tape took a lot of time.

By the time Qi Gong was successfully buried and everyone was ready to return to Tokyo, it was already afternoon, and it seemed that it would be after sunset when they returned to Tokyo.

Xiao Ziyan wiped the sweat on his forehead, whether it was a funeral, a sacrifice or a burial on this day, it was indispensable for his only remaining son to be busy inside and out, and there were some things that others could not replace, so don't say that he was only fifteen years old, even if he was five years old, he had to do it himself.

Seeing that the funeral procession was about to return to Tokyo, Xiao Ziyan breathed a sigh of relief, he desperately looked for Xiao Wang in the crowd, and glanced at him anxiously.

Seeing Xiao Wang in the distance smiling and nodding at him, Xiao Ziyan knew that Tokyo was fine, and completely put down the big stone that had been hanging high in his heart for a long time.

According to the plan already arranged by the celebrant officials, Xiao Ziyan issued an order to the entourage for the first time as the ruler of the Qi State, and the 10,000 forbidden troops would stay in the Qi Gong Mausoleum for one year.

At the same time, please invite the civil and military officials and the envoys of other countries to return to the Qinglong Palace, and he Xiao Ziyan will entertain these guests from afar on behalf of the Qi State.

When Xiao Ziyan sent an invitation to the angels and the envoys of the countries in public, everyone had the same feeling, and the next prince of Qi was probably settled.

As for the candidate, it is not surprising that it is the young man in front of him.

Thinking about the succession ceremony of the Duke of Qi, these people will inevitably have to come to the State of Qi again, and then think about dealing with the new Duke of Qi in the future, so regardless of whether they supported Xiao Ziyan to succeed to the throne before, no one wanted to offend the young monarch at this moment, so after Xiao Ziyan made an invitation, they all smiled and responded.

The group embarked on the journey back to Beijing again, but as when they came, everyone still had their own ghosts, thinking about how to get along with the new monarch of Qi in the future.

An hour later, the waning moon hung in the sky, but the sun had not yet set in the west, and in the light of the sun and moon, the weary funeral procession slowly marched towards Tokyo.

Suddenly, on the road to Tokyo in the distance, a burst of dust kicked up by the cavalry galloping through it soared into the sky.

Almost at the same time, everyone in the funeral procession not only heard the sound of horses' hooves roaring in the distance, but also saw that in the flying dust, quite a number of cavalry were roaring towards the funeral procession.

I saw that the cavalry was about two thousand men, and they were all dressed in dark green war squirrels, and they were galloping like a raging wind.

"Lord Xiao"

"Second son."

For a while, the people calling for Xiao Wang and Gongziyan came from many places in the funeral procession.

Those cavalry looked like a charging posture, and people who had been in the ranks for a long time couldn't see it, so they simply shouted Xiao Wang and Xiao Zishuo in a hurry.

Those two people didn't care about responding to everyone at the moment, and even they themselves were confused by the cavalry coming from afar.

Xiao Ziyan walked quickly to Xiao Wang's side and hurriedly asked, "Fourth uncle, what's going on?"

It's just that as soon as the words were spoken, I saw that Xiao Wang was also confused and looked into the distance and did not answer.

Among the people who sent the funeral, they could see that the cavalry in the distance was menacing, and it was not all of them who were friends or enemies, so the angel young master and the young guard did not realize the danger at all, they looked at the cavalry in the distance, and thought that it was the people from the Qi country who came to meet the relatives team, so they also accelerated the speed of the car and greeted those cavalry.

Seeing that the young master and the young guard had sped up the car, the nobles and officials behind them also hurriedly followed.

And Mi Xiao and Fang Hengxin and the others, who did not get a response from Xiao Wang and Xiao Ziyan, were naturally not fools, although they didn't know why those cavalry would attack the funeral procession, but they did not hesitate at all, and hurriedly plunged into the pile.

They knew that if they left the brigade at this time, they would become the best target for the cavalry, but it would be slightly safer to get into the crowd, after all, the goal of the cavalry was unknown, so it was better to hide it.

When the cavalry was fifty paces away from the funeral procession, the tremendous pressure of the battle formation and the speed of the horses that did not slow down in the slightest made everyone, including the angels, understand that these cavalry were not their own.

At the forefront of the ranks were a thousand forbidden troops armed with halberds, but how could they dare to stop the cavalry in front of them without any orders coming.

Moreover, most of the forbidden army did some chores to maintain order in the capital on weekdays, and few of them had ever been on the battlefield, so where could they hold out under the charge of two thousand cavalry.

Almost instantly, a thousand Forbidden Army scattered in all directions, and only a few soldiers were able to stand their ground, but when they lifted their halberds, they found that this heavy, long, and flashy ceremonial weapon did not seem to be enough to withstand the cavalry charge.

"Kill"

In the shouting of killing, those cavalry rushed to the funeral procession, and in front of the relatives of the Qi State and the envoys of the countries, a cavalry massacre of the forbidden army's "honor guard" began.

In less than a quarter of an hour, the thousands of armored soldiers who were originally at the forefront of the funeral procession were brightly armored and lined with long halberds, and the forbidden soldiers holding the Qinglong Banner were confiscated and squatted together, and there were more than 100 corpses all around them.

These Qi clan relatives and nobles of the countries looked at the dead corpses lying all over the ground, and immediately cried and wailed, and there were many people who vomited, and the angel young master and young guard were also frightened, and hid in their carriage tremblingly.

The cavalry surrounded the hundreds of officials and envoys in the center, and one of them, a man in bright armor and a white horse at his waist, stepped forward and asked a middle-aged man in filial piety clothes in the procession:

"Who is Xiao Ziyan, who is Xiao Wang."

The middle-aged man looked up at the man on the horse, and before he could speak, he felt a hot current flow from under his pants, and he tried to kneel, but found that his legs were unconscious.

"This, this, that, that, ah!"

The middle-aged man was so frightened that before he could speak, he was whipped in the face by the man on the horse, and the man who only smoked was lying on the ground and immediately fainted.

"Where are Xiao Wang and Xiao Ziyan?"

The man on the horse seemed to have lost patience, and with another shout, he drew his sword, grasped the reins of the horse, and the white horse beneath him stood up and roared.

The people on the horse asked twice, and someone immediately understood, it seems that these cavalry are just here to trouble Xiao Wang and Xiao Ziyan, and they are all relieved in their hearts.

But who among these people would dare to offend Xiao Wang, the official secretary of Qi State, and the future monarch, so after the man finished speaking, everyone just lowered their heads and slowly retreated, but no one dared to tell the man on horseback the answer.

Immediately, the man smiled, waved his hand, and saw several cavalrymen pull down one person from the carriage at the front of the team, and everyone looked at it, and the unlucky ghost who was pulled off the car was the son of heaven Shaobao Ji Ce.

At this time, the chubby Ji Ce was "hugged" and "invited" by several cavalrymen to the man on horseback.

"I am the son of heaven and the young protector, and Ji Ce is also. Who would dare to offend the angel Tianwei? If you don't put down your weapon, I will intercede with the Qi State Office on your behalf to save you from death. ”

Ji Ce came to the man's approach, raised his head and said to the man with disdain.

With the cooperation of Ji Ce's arrogant expression and posture, these words exuded a unique momentum of vertical and horizontal. It was as if everything in this world was under the control of this chubby old man.

The man on the horse smiled slightly as he heard this, and he slowly lifted the knife in his hand and lifted it above his head.

At this moment, Na Ji Ce seemed to be a different person, and walked a few steps forward to grab the reins of the horse and shouted: "Xiao Wang, Xiao Ziyan are there, don't be anxious, I haven't finished speaking." ”

After saying that, he immediately turned around and pointed in the direction where Xiao Wang and Xiao Ziyan were to the man on horseback.

The man nodded, and several people rushed out behind him, and then "invited" Ji Ce to the front, heading in the direction he had just pointed.

After a while, the crowd heard the sound of begging for mercy.

A white-haired old man and a teenager were dragged out by the cavalry at the same time.

Xiao Wang, who was crying into tears, couldn't take care of his bearded tears and snot, and at the moment he was just begging for mercy from those cavalrymen, but those soldiers didn't have the slightest "sympathy" to tie him and Xiao Ziyan, who didn't say a word, into zongzi and threw them on top of the horses prepared in advance.

The man on horseback glanced at the two men from afar, and when he saw that they were tied to their horses, he turned and beat their horses and galloped eastward.

In an instant, the two thousand cavalry, as well as Xiao Wang and Xiao Ziyan who had been kidnapped, disappeared from the field of vision of everyone else.

"Quick, go to our army camp and let them send someone to pursue this gang of thieves."

After the cavalry left, an old man suddenly roared and said such a sentence in the ranks that had been so frightened that they were silent.

That person was none other than Chu Guoling Yin Qixiao, who was already red-eyed at the moment, and hysterically issued orders to the people around him.
