Chapter 173: Wood Qilin

In order to be able to appease the general's undead, even if I am asked to help the coffin and let me personally carry the general's coffin for burial, I am duty-bound. Compared to General Zhenguo, the sacrifices I made for Nanchu, what I did is nothing. ”

The corners of Xiao Tingyan's mouth hooked a mocking smile. "King Rui really deserves to be a generation of virtuous kings...... This king feels a little admired for you. However, I hope that King Rui's words will not be said too early, there are still three days before the burial of General Zhenguo, I hope that the prince can do what he says, and he can really kneel at this gate for three days and three nights, and guard the spirit of General Zhenguo. ”

Kneeling at this door for three days and three nights is not something ordinary people can do. Not to mention, how hard the ground under this knee is, just this wind and snow, and the fickle weather, I am afraid it is enough for Xiao Xuanrui to suffer. Of course, in addition to physical suffering, he also had to withstand the scrutiny of his subjects...... and the emperor's anger and rebuke. That, once you know that Xiao Xuanrui actually put down the prince's shelf and went to guard the spirit of a courtier, it is estimated that he will be angry to death. Xiao Xuanrui knelt down, I am afraid that those courtiers who dare not show up to come over to worship will all have to go to the palace to worship. The body of the noble prince of the family has come to guard the spirit of the general of Zhenguo, not to mention these officials. When the time comes, whoever does not come will become the object of crusade in the mouths of the people. Xiao Xuanrui touched the tip of his tongue against his cheeks, and he was so annoyed in his heart that he couldn't hear the ridicule and reminder in Xiao Tingyan's voice. "Thank you Uncle Huang for reminding me, in front of so many people, I won't break my word. Naturally, he will do what he says......" Xiao Tingyan gently patted Xiao Xuanrui's shoulder with the attitude of an elder: "Since the eldest nephew, you are so virtuous and want to guard the spirit of the general of Zhenguo, this king will naturally not hold you back." So be it, the king will leave two black feather guards with you, and if you need anything, tell them to do it. ”

Xiao Xuanrui's face froze, where did the black feather guard left by Xiao Tingyan help him, it was clearly the intention of spying on him. In the next few days, if he wants to be lazy, he probably won't have a chance. Xiao Xuanrui clenched his fists, hating it in his heart. "Thank you, Uncle Huang."

Xiao Tingyan chuckled and shook his head: "Nephew, you don't have to be polite, we are all a family." You, as a nephew, can do your best for the General's Mansion, and I, as an uncle, as the fiancΓ© of the fourth young lady, naturally can't be left behind. ”

Xiao Xuanrui raised his head and sneered, he could understand it, did he, the imperial uncle, want to use him to tell the world about his marriage with Yunluan? β€œβ€¦β€¦ Uncle Huang also wants to keep a vigil for General Zhenguo? ”

"You, an inconsequential person, are going to guard the spirit of General Zhenguo, so naturally the king can't lose to you. You kneel at this door to keep the spirit, then the king will go to accompany the princess of the future banquet, and go to the mourning hall to keep the spirit......" Xiao Tingyan's eyebrows and eyes were filled with joy, and his mood was indescribably comfortable. He was still worried just now, what excuse should he find to stay, but he didn't expect Xiao Xuanrui to help him unintentionally. After he said that, he didn't look at Xiao Xuanrui's ugly face anymore, slowly got up, flicked the non-existent dust on his body, and in front of so many people, Shi Shiran turned around and entered the general's mansion. As soon as Xiao Tingyan left, those people whispered as if they had exploded. "Did you just hear what King Yan said? Why do I seem to hear him say that he is the fiancΓ© of the Lord of Taiping County? ”

"Yes, I heard ...... too" "I have a friend who works in the Yanwang Mansion, and I have some inside information here."

"What inside information?"

"I heard that the king of Yan had already asked the emperor for a marriage decree."

"Ah, the decree of marriage? Banquet King and Taiping County Lord? ”

"Oh...... No wonder, King Yan frequently appears in the General's Mansion, I was still thinking about what is the intersection between King Yan and the General's Mansion. It turns out that this is the case. ”

"I really didn't expect that King Yan would ask to marry the county lord of Taiping."

"Who said no, once the county lord of Taiping chased King Rui, but now in a blink of an eye, this county lord has become the princess of the future banquet. I don't know, will this wise king vomit blood in annoyance? ”

"Yes, the person he doesn't cherish has someone else to hold as a baby."

The discussion that follows seems to be getting more and more biased. From the marriage of Xiao Tingyan and Yun Luan, to Yun Luan's awakening, turning back is the shore and Xiao Tingyan's cultivation is a positive result...... Then Xiao Xuanrui was blind, he couldn't see Yun Luan's goodness, and he lost his love. Then, in order to save Yun Luan's heart, he did not hesitate to kneel at the door of the General's Mansion with a cheeky face, praying for Yun Luan's return. In short, the more the story spread, the more outrageous it became, but in just half an hour, it had already caused an uproar in Kyoto City. Originally, Xiao Xuanrui was to regain the hearts of the people and show the people his virtuous name, so he knelt at the gate of the General's Mansion to guard the spirit of General Zhenguo...... But now, with the news of Xiao Tingyan and Yun Luan's marriage, King Yan entered the mansion to guard the spirit of General Zhenguo...... It's like two men, in order to win the favor of a woman, they are engaged in a war without gunpowder. When the news reached Chu Ying's ears, Chu Ying's brows couldn't help frowning slightly. A little surprise flashed in his eyes, he really didn't expect that the rumors had been distorted to such a point...... This was something he hadn't expected before. Xiao Xuanrui's knee hurt badly at this moment, and as the night came, the north wind was also blowing violently towards him. Although he was covered with a thick coat, he couldn't stand the temperature getting lower and lower...... He was so cold that he couldn't help but shiver. Originally, there were injuries on his body, and some hidden toxins had not been cleared, and his face gradually turned a little pale. If he really knelt here for three days and three nights and couldn't get up, I'm afraid that one of his lives would have to be explained here. - Yun Luan took Yun Tian's arm and returned to the mourning hall. Except for her sister-in-law, she asked everyone else to quit the mourning hall. Yun Luan let go of Yun Tilt and glanced at his father's coffin...... She was the first to bend her knees and kowtowed. Yun tilted, and she knelt on the ground with a thud. "Little Four...... The third sister is really wrong, don't be angry......" Yun Luan raised her head and turned her head to look at Yun Tian with a calm expression: "Third sister, I'm not angry. There are some words, I want to talk to you about ......" As soon as this sentence fell, she couldn't help but cough a few times. Her cheeks were pale and her eyes were bloodshot. The sister-in-law glanced at it, her eyes were full of distress, she turned her head away and didn't bother Yunluan. In her opinion, Yun Tian's behavior today is really inappropriate. Today's General's Mansion can no longer be compared with the past. If they take a slight wrong step, it may be an abyss from which they will never recover. If Yun Tilt continues like this, sooner or later, it will be used by outsiders. Yun Tian sniffed: "You say, Xiaosi, whatever you say, I will listen to you." ”
