The flowers bloom at two ends, one on each branch. However, it was said that the funeral procession went out of Zhenyuan City and walked all the way south for nearly two miles. Sun Buji, who was holding the coffin, said, "My lord, the cemetery chosen by Mr. Feng Shui is behind the hill in front of you. ”

Lou Chuan, the eldest son of the Lou family, tore off the white towel on his head, looked at the terrain in front of him, looked back at the direction of Zhenyuan City, shook his head and said, "This is still closer to Zhenyuan City." That Xu Liang is a ghost, it's hard to guarantee that he won't be suspicious after we leave the city. In this way, go three miles further. ”

Sun Buji said in embarrassment: "But where is the burial place demarcated by Mr. Feng Shui in front, if you go further, won't you have to go back?" ”

Lou Zhou glared and scolded when he heard this: "What do you know? Our team came out of Zhenyuan City all the way, there are several roadside tea stalls along the road, hehe, Zhenyuan County is poor and partial, and even merchants are rare to see one or two on the official road on weekdays. Most of those people were the secret sentinels sent by Xu Liang. Needless to say, it's safer to take a little more detour. ”

Sun Buer saw that the eldest prince Lou was angry, so he lowered his head, but he didn't dare to say more.

At this time, it will be noon, and although there is sunshine in the sky, it is also a bitterly cold wind. The musicians who invited to play and play were also shivering with cold, and the suona was not very coherent, and it sounded intermittent, and it sounded very strange in the whining wind. Fortunately, Sun Buer and Lou Dagongzi no longer have this in their minds, so they let those musicians come to Hu.

The procession advanced two miles further, and saw that there was no one in front of or behind the avenue. Mr. Lou pointed to the fork in the road, leading the team to the side of the road and to a wood. As he approached the woods, he suddenly saw several horses in the grass in front of him gnawing on the dead grass, and two men in strong clothes leaned out from behind a big tree with a thick bowl mouth, looking at the team with wary faces.

Lou Dagongzi secretly said that he wanted to choose a remote place to facilitate his actions, but unexpectedly, someone in the woods had already taken the lead. At this time, it would be too suspicious to withdraw again, and the only way to do this is to go through this forest and find another place, and when Mr. Lou thought of this, he motioned to everyone to cheer up and pretend to be a real funeral.

The musicians played mournful music, Sun Buer and his mother-in-law began to whimper and cry bitterly, and Lou Dagongzi also put on a white scarf again, supported the coffin with one hand, and paid attention to the movement in the woods as he walked forward.

As the procession deepened, men in constant gear emerged from the woods, all of them holding swords, although they were vigilantly looking at the funeral procession of the eldest prince Lou, they did not approach. Mr. Lou noticed that among the many men, there were a bunch of people hiding around a black carriage.

When Mr. Lou saw the outfits of these people, he understood that most of them had encountered robbers and bandits today, and the scale of this frame was not small. The team was passing through the forest, and both sides were looking, and the men on the other side were very provocative, and their eyes were quite unkind. Although there are a few guards with martial arts on the Lou family's side, most of them are ordinary people, and their momentum is much weaker. Mr. Lou was worried as he walked, these people who licked blood on the knife edge were very difficult to mess with, and they acted as they pleased, which was extremely unreasonable. I hope this time I met someone who was a little more reasonable.

Seeing that the whole team was going to pass through the woods, and the other party was still watching coldly, and he didn't mean to interfere, Lou Dagongzi's hanging heart couldn't help but let go of most of it.

"The person in front of me stops me!" Suddenly, I heard a crisp cry from the black carriage. With this shout, the men in strong suits scattered in the forest shouted, each with a knife and a gun, and Hulala stopped the team of the eldest prince of Lou.

The funeral procession was in a panic and stopped in a hurry. Sun Buer stood beside Mr. Lou with a nervous face and asked nervously, "What should I do?" The eldest prince, I have met a strongman! ”

Master Lou said in a deep voice: "What are you panicking about!" Watch and see what happens! As he spoke, he turned his eyes to the guards of Loujiabao who were mixed in the team, and transferred those guards to guard behind him.

There was a rustling sound of feet stepping on leaves, and I saw a young man with a square hat and a blue cloak walking over, looking at the eldest prince Lou and the others, and then looked at the black coffin, and asked in a deep voice: "Where are you going?" ”

Lou Dagongzi looked at the young man carefully, and it was clearly a young woman dressed as a man, so he hugged his fists and said: "This uh boy is invited, he is a person from Pingliang Mansion below, and now his aunt has passed away, and today is the auspicious day of the zodiac for burial." I don't know what the prince is doing when he stops the inferior people? ”

The corners of the young man's mouth were arc-shaped, he seemed to smile, and looked at Mr. Lou with burning eyes and said, "Oh, it turned out that it was just my aunt who died, and I thought it was my own mother who died, so it's no wonder." Fang Cai Ben Gongzi heard everyone's cries in the carriage, although he heard the cries but did not see the sadness, but a little frightened, which is quite incomprehensible. This son, can you open the coffin so that my son can also have a look, and also satisfy my son's curiosity? ”

Seeing that the prince in front of him said very politely, there was an undoubted meaning in his tone, and he was naturally reluctant in his heart, looking at the young man, and said in a very sincere tone: "I lived in Chang'an Mansion for a long time, and I suddenly got the news of my aunt's death a while ago, and I only rushed to Zhenyuan five days ago to help deal with the aftermath. Although the person in the coffin was an aunt before his death, in fact, he didn't see much on weekdays, and he was taking care of his aunt's funeral, and he only showed a little filial piety, and he couldn't say how deep his feelings with the late aunt were. The crying was different, which made the son laugh. As for opening the coffin, then there is no need. ”

The young man raised his eyebrows and said in a deep voice: "What if this son has to see it?" ”

"This ...... This is too difficult for a strong man. Lou Gongzi said with a strong smile.

"Hey, the young man on the other side! My little ...... Childe wants to open the coffin to see what's tight, doesn't your pushback seem too weak-hearted? It was a man beside the young man who spoke, dressed in a robe, quite old, but his voice was unspeakably unpleasant and strange, like a man but not a man, like a woman but not a woman.

"Hehe, my son-in-law discussed with you that it was to give you face, if you brush my son-in-law's meaning, hum, I can't say that my old man will teach you a lesson."

With the strange man's voice, the man in the strong suit surrounded by the young man took a step forward, the steel knife was half unsheathed, and it seemed that he was going to kill people as soon as he gave an order.

Sun Buer stood behind Lou Gongzi, took a step back timidly when he saw this, stretched out his hand to pull his shirt behind Lou Gongzi's back, and gave Lou Gongzi a look, for fear that Lou Dagongzi's bullish temper would come up, offend the group of strongmen in front of him, and cause himself to suffer an unwarranted disaster.

Mr. Lou knew that today's things would be difficult to be good. The other side is outnumbered, and if you blindly block it, it will inevitably lead to a bloody battle. Sensing Sun Buer's movements behind him, he flicked the sleeves of his robe angrily, took two steps away with a calm face, and said, "Since this son is so interested in his aunt, it doesn't hurt to come forward and take a look." ”

Sun Buji breathed a sigh of relief, hurriedly strode to the black coffin, called the people next to him to help pull the black coffin apart, and stepped aside, and said with a smile to the young man and his party who came forward: "Son, please look." ”

The young man and the strange man stepped forward and glanced into the coffin, where it was indeed a dead old woman, and looking at the shape of the white cloth covering it, there was nothing unusual about it. The young man and the strange man exchanged glances, the strange man shook his head, leaned into the young man's ear and whispered: "Miss, since no abnormality was found in the coffin, it is not appropriate to cause more trouble." The Governor is still waiting for us to get back sooner. ”

The young man nodded, glanced at the coffin again suspiciously, withdrew his gaze, nodded to the eldest prince Lou and Sun Buji who were standing aside, and walked back with the strange man.

Boom!

The young man's figure froze suddenly, and he looked back at the black coffin, listening intently. The strange man waved his hand, and a large number of men in strong suits behind him drew their knives in their hands and surrounded them.

Sun Buer's face turned white. Master Lou smiled very far-fetched: "Ha, the wind is really strong today, ha." ”

"Really?" The young man sneered, staring at the coffin again.

Knock, knock, knock! There were three more dull knocks, and everyone could clearly hear that the sound was coming from the black coffin. At this time, the cold wind was howling in the air, and the trees in the forest were blown by the wind, but in the black coffin in front of everyone, there was a knocking sound, which made people's backs chill and their hearts drummed. The escorting musician and the subordinates were so frightened that they were colorless, and the two women in mourning clothes who were supporting the coffin screamed, took several steps back, and looked at the coffin that had been helped all the way with a horrified face.

The eyes of everyone in the forest were fixed, and no one made a sound. Lou Dagongzi exchanged glances with Sun Buji, and quietly stood among several guards, looking closely at the young man's expression.

Knock, knock, two more knocks were heard.

"Pretending to be a ghost!" The young man snorted coldly, "Split this coffin for me!" ”
