Chapter 489
Seeing off Shi Shi and Zhang Bao, Shi Min sat next to Shi Zhan's coffin, slowly putting paper money in the brazier, and several henchmen such as Zhang Mufeng and Wang Chong were also accompanied by him.
Suddenly, the door was gently pushed open, and a woman walked in with a lantern, and everyone looked up, and it turned out to be Lord Xin.
"Young lady!" Zhang Mufeng and the others hurriedly got up and saluted.
Lord Xin nodded slightly, and said to Shi Min: "It's late at night, let's go and rest early!" ”
Shi Min glanced up at Lord Xin, and saw that she had changed into filial piety clothes and sackcloth, and his heart was quite moved. But he still only responded lightly: "My father only has one son, how can I go to rest!" ”
Lord Xin didn't say anything more, and knelt down directly to Shi Min's side and burned paper money with him.
Shi Min did not stop Lord Xin's behavior, although he was grateful, he didn't say a word.
"Where is Third Uncle Xu?" Shi Min asked.
Everyone shook their heads, indicating that they didn't know.
At this time, Lord Xin on the side said in a low voice: "I was passing by the back kitchen just now, and I heard someone crying inside, so I went in to take a look, it turned out to be Uncle Xu. Because of his father's death, Uncle Xu was so sad that he didn't dare to cry in front of his husband, so he could only hide in the corner and wipe his tears. ”
Speaking of this, Shi Min's tears flowed, and he instructed Wang Chong: "Go and invite Third Uncle Xu!" ”
"Yes!"
Shi Min didn't say anything more, and the others didn't know what to say, and at this moment, silence seemed to be the best choice in the face of grief.
Lord Xin didn't know how to soothe her husband in front of her, she knew that Shi Min's heart must be in great pain, and she wanted to hold his hand tightly, but she was afraid of being rejected by Shi Min. She wanted to say a few words of comfort, but she racked her brains and couldn't think of a suitable word, so she could only silently hand a wad of paper money to Shi Min.
It didn't take long for Xu San to stand outside the door, wipe the corners of his eyes, walk in with a smile, and ask, "Childe, are you looking for me?" ”
Shi Min pointed to the seat opposite him and said, "Sit down and talk!" ”
Xu San nodded silently, knelt in front of Shi Zhan's spiritual seat, looked up at the tablet on the table, couldn't control his emotions anymore, and cried "woo woo".
Shi Min grew up by Xu San's side since he was a child, and in his impression, he had never seen Xu San cry, but now he has gray temples, but he cries like a child.
"General! The last general has been with you for more than 20 years, but I didn't expect that in the end, I couldn't live and die with you! Xu San was grief-stricken.
Seeing Xu San crying like this, Wang Chong and the others couldn't help but shed tears, their tears were not just because of emotional incitement, but because they had experienced life and death together, and they could experience the wind and food, sleeping in the open, and the horse leather shroud.
"Don't cry! Father won't want to see you like that! Shi Min held back the sadness in his heart and pretended to be calm and said.
"I'm sorry, Childe......" Xu San covered his face with one hand, lowered his head and didn't dare to look at Shi Min.
"Back then, you lost an arm in order to save your father, which is owed to you by the Xihuahou Mansion! Over the years, you have been worried about the affairs of the family, raising me, today, in front of my father's spiritual seat, Shi Min wants to solemnly thank you, Uncle Xu, by me! Shi Min said, kowtowing to Xu San heavily.
"I can't help it!" Xu San got up from the ground in a panic, trying to stop Shi Min.
"Husband......" Lord Xin was also taken aback.
Xu San knelt in front of Shi Min and said: "Xu San's life was given by the general, not to mention an arm, it is my life, Xu San has no words!" Childe, don't say anything like that again! ”
"The deceased is gone, my father's greatest wish must be that we who are alive can live well, husband, Third Uncle Xu, you don't talk about life and death anymore......" Lord Xin persuaded on the side.
"Madam, it's all my bad ......" Xu San blamed himself a little, looked up at Shi Zhan's spiritual position again, and said: "When the general and the son left the Hou Mansion that day, I had a bad premonition, and I was inexplicably flustered, but I didn't expect it to be the last meeting with the general!" If there is still a chance, I, Xu San, must go to the battlefield again and fight to the death with the Xianbei people! Avenge the General! ”
"My father's death was an accident! Someone designed to put His Majesty to death, but my father gave up his life to save His Majesty! Shi Min said resentfully.
"It must be Shi Zun! He wanted to become the emperor as soon as possible, so he wanted to kill His Majesty by the hands of the Xianbei people, but it was a pity that the general broke his plan, so he took the risk and raised troops to rebel! Zhang Mufeng said.
Xu San scolded: "Shi Zun, who has suffered a thousand cuts!" Breaking his body into thousands of pieces is not enough to relieve hatred! ”
"In my opinion, he may not have done this!" Shi Min said.
"He didn't do it, who else could have done it? The brothers all know that Shi Zun is bent on opposing the Xihua Marquis Mansion! He believed that the general would fight to protect His Majesty, so no matter what happened in the end, his plan would not come to nothing. Zhang Mufeng said confidently.
"Not really!" Shi Min shook his head and said, "Shi Zun's words before he died seem to have some meaning. According to his temperament, if he secretly passed the news to the Xianbei people, he would definitely admit it! ”
"What did he say?" Xu San hurriedly asked.
Shi Min thought for a while and said, "He didn't say whether he did it, but said, he didn't tell me!" Even if they knew who it was, they wouldn't tell me. ”
"Maybe Shi Zun's son knew that he was dead, and deliberately said this, so that the young general you couldn't figure it out? The last general thinks that this is not impossible! Zhang Mufeng interjected.
"General Zhang is right!" Xu San also echoed: "Maybe Shi Zun is deliberately angry with you, so that we can treat this matter as a regret, so that he can show off his mystery." ”
"I've thought about what you said! But I asked him again before he took his last breath, and he replied unequivocally that it was just the beginning! Kill him, it's not over! ”
"Could it be that he's bluffing?" Xu San frowned slightly.
Zhang Mufeng thought for a while and said, "Young General, maybe this is Shi Zun's purpose, he wants you to leave a regret forever, so that you will never understand what is going on." Don't fall for his tricks! ”
"But...... Maybe...... This matter really wasn't done by Shi Zun......" Lord Xin, who had been silent beside him, suddenly said.
"This ......"
"This ......"
Xu San and the others couldn't think of anything to refute for a while.
"I agree with the county lord! Shi Zun certainly deserves to die, but the sins he committed, killing him a hundred times is not enough! But if there is a real murderer, things should not be in the past! Be sure to check it out! Otherwise the real culprits will go unpunished! ”
