Chapter 746: The Man in the Coffin

The qiē that happened in Xiangyang came too fast!

Because of the complete blockade of the entire capital, the news did not spread, and even the Cao family and the Sun family did not know what was going on.

Those who lurked in Xiangyang had no chance to get out of the city, and there were soldiers guarding every corner of the city wall, as well as the spy shadow department lurking, and the thieves Cao's catchers were also fully dispatched, and even the dragon and tiger guards who were originally only responsible for the safety of the royal family and the Chu Palace, as well as those green forest heroes who belonged to the spy shadow, also participated.

Not to mention people, even flies can't get out.

It was not until a few days later, when Xu Shu completed the purge of the high-level civil and military forces in Xiangyang and imprisoned all those who opposed it, that this situation had to be broken because of the return of the corpse of the king of Chu.

On this day, the coffin of the king of Chu sent back by Cao Cao finally arrived in Xiangyang.

In order to make Wang Xu's funeral beautiful, Xu Shu still chose to lift the ban although she took a big risk.

The civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty, as well as all the people and soldiers of Xiangyang, all greeted them along the way, the endless white became all the hues at this moment, the cry permeated the entire huge Xiangyang city, the mournful music lingered in everyone's ears, and the paper money sprinkled in the sky was like rain falling, with the desolation!

Wang Xu's parents, aunt, as well as his sister Wang Yue, his sister Wang Li and other relatives all cried softly on the ground.

Wang Li even held the coffin and didn't let go even when he died!

"Brother! You won't die, you won't die!! ”

Xu Shu and the women of the harem are even more hoarse, except for Xu Shu, who can still stand tremblingly, everyone else has already relied on the support of the female officials in the palace!

Yan Ming, Zhao Yu, Diao Chan, Cai Yan, Zhang Ning, Sun Shangxiang, Ling Wanqing, Zhu Rong and other daughters. There are also Xiao Min, Xiao Yu, Xiao Zhen, Xiao Ling, and Xiao Rong, five women who have followed Wang Xu for many years. All paralyzed. Only the hoarse call, the cry of sorrow, pierced into the depths of the human soul all the time, making people pity.

That's the most painful sorrow!

The sadness that cannot be described in words!

"Lord!! Why did you abandon us and wait!!!! Alas! Alack!!! ”

"Oh my God! How unjust are you!!! ”

The military generals of Wenchen led by Guo Jia, Tian Feng and others also wept bitterly, and they could no longer see their usual demeanor, and rushed to the coffin, as if they were afraid that it would be slow. It was as if he would lose something, but when he ran closer, he found that he could not change anything, so he could only fall to his knees and complain bitterly about his grief.

"Woo...... Daddy!! Daddy!! Come back soon! Xuan'er doesn't want you to die! In the future, Xuan'er will listen to her father's words and stop making trouble! You're back!! ”

"Daddy, when Zheng'er grows up, he will definitely avenge you!"

"I want my father, mother, Yaoyao wants my father. Mother, tell Daddy to get up! ”

"Daddy. Zhan'er is already a warrior, do you see? Zhan'er is also learning martial arts now! Daddy, get up and look!! ”

Several children cried and shouted, frantically rushed to the coffin, but were hugged by the elders, the helpless faces, the painful wails, the hearts of those who watched, and the tears of those who heard!

In the midst of countless cries and mourning, Xu Shu silently shed tears, she didn't scream, she didn't wail, because at this moment she was carrying a heavy burden, because at this moment she couldn't!

In the swaying of the white paper, in the countless painful cries, and in the mournful music, Xu Shu walked towards the coffin little by little with trembling steps.

Every step is heavy, every step is hard!

She slowly stepped into the chariot carrying the coffin, walked up the wooden ladder little by little, and approached the luxurious huge wooden coffin!

But no matter how strong she is, she can't help it at this moment!

She suddenly went crazy, and even carried her internal breath, and with the strength of one person, she lifted the heavy coffin lid in half, and cried and cursed: "You get up! Get up for me! Why did you leave me alone to bear this qiē! Why? Why? Why ......"

When his eyes saw the charred corpse in the coffin, his brain exploded with a "boom", and it was out of control in an instant.

"I don't want to care about anything, I don't want anything, let's die together, whatever Chu country it is, whatever it lives or dies, let's die! Die to them all! No matter how many people die in the world, what does it have to do with me? Hahaha...... Let's die together! ”

As she spoke, she suddenly raised her hand, her palm facing her forehead, and she was about to kill herself here.

"Queen!"

"Queen!! Never! The overall situation is important! Don't lose the hard work of King Chu's life!! ”

The ministers panicked.

"Sister!! We're with you! ”

Diao Chan and other women spoke in unison.

"Shu'er !!"

Xu Shu's parents and relatives called urgently.

"Urbane! Don't take your life! ”

Wang Xu's parents and relatives eagerly dissuaded him.

These voices came into her ears, and Xu Shu's hand suddenly stopped, trembling, as if hesitating, as if struggling!

Maybe she can ignore other people, but there are some people she can't care!

After a long time, she slowly lowered her hand amid countless cries and persuasions, but she still clung to the edge of the coffin and looked at the charred corpse in the coffin in pain.

"You have the world in your heart, but I only have you in my heart! Why is God so unfair, why? ”

No one can answer, Heaven does not speak!

Only the blank paper that is still flying and the uninterrupted mourning music continue to tell this sad song!

Gradually, Xu Shu's hand reached into the coffin!

Although this charred corpse had been carefully disposed of by Cao Cao with medicine and treasures, it had not yet decomposed, but the charred appearance was very appalling after all.

But Xu Shu didn't seem to realize it, and threw herself on the edge of the coffin, her wide white dress dragged on the ground, as if surrounding the coffin, and held the right hand of the corpse indifferently.

"Husband! Don't worry, I will train Wang Zheng to become a talent, and when the state of Chu is stable, I will hand over everything to him, and then come to you! We said that we would be together for the rest of our lives, and now we are only two lives, you must keep your promises, you must wait for me! ”

Her voice was low, like the murmur of the wind. Drift away.

Her hands. The grip is getting tighter and tighter!

Suddenly. Her hand jumped violently, and suddenly released, and her pupils widened and stared straight at the charred corpse!

Wrong! Wrong! The hand is not right!

As if she had discovered some great secret, she straightened up, and then put both hands into the coffin, facing her hands directly with the burnt hand.

For a moment, she was stunned. A thousand thoughts arise in my heart!

This corpse is not his, this palm is not the right size, it is not at all, this is not his corpse!

Could it be that Cao Cao sent a fake corpse?

No, it can't be, Cao Cao doesn't have that need, and there's no reason to do it!

But if he died in that battle, Cao Cao would definitely dig three feet into the ground and find his body, and Cao Cao sent this, which must have been determined to be his body!

And now this corpse is not. That is to say......

Xu Shu's mind thought about these things like a flint, and the flame in her heart burned more and more!

He's certainly not dead!

But why didn't he show up for such a big move?

That's right. He is definitely not out of danger yet, and he created this fake corpse for the sake of the golden cicada's shell!

That's right, it must be right, although I don't know how he made Cao Cao believe that this is him, but this is definitely in line with his character and methods!

In an instant, Xu Shu's body and mind were occupied by inexplicable surprises, and she didn't care about anything else, and observed the charred corpse more closely.

Kindness! Sure enough, although the height and body shape are similar, the bones of the two palms are not the right size, and the foot bones are not right, his foot bones are longer, and his shoes are made by me, it can't be wrong! It's not him, it's not him......

As Xu Shu became more and more sure in her heart, she really couldn't help but laugh out loud, but fortunately, she reacted quickly!

No, you can't show your flaws now, if he is still in danger, and now he is exposed, let Cao Cao notice it, and the consequences are unpredictable.

Thinking about this section, Xu Shu quickly took a deep breath, allowing the excitement on her face to be inadvertently quickly subsided and replaced with a very sad look.

Because she had buried her head just now and had been rummaging in the coffin, no one could see the expression on her face, but it made people feel a little confused.

"Bonghyo, isn't the queen crazy! She was like that just now, and she seemed to be torturing the body of the King of Chu? Frustrated, he whispered worriedly.

No matter how smart Guo Jiahuan next to him was, he couldn't guess anything, so he could only reply bitterly: "I hope the queen is just stimulated for a while, too excited, and can recover soon." ”

This is not just their question, but also the question of many.

"Sister! You ......"

Zhao Yu and the others couldn't help but speak.

Xu Shu also seemed to sense that something was wrong, so she raised her head, and pretended to look at the corpse in the coffin reluctantly, and then waved her hand to close the heavy coffin lid.

"Send the King of Chu back to the palace, and the whole country mourns for three days! After three days, I will find a treasure of feng shui and bury it, and then move the tomb after building a mausoleum in the future! ”

"No!"

With her voice, the original appearance was restored, and the huge procession slowly returned to the palace amid mournful weeping......

This huge welcome lifted the ban on Xiangyang, and also allowed those meticulous works to finally get a chance to get out, and quickly spread the news of what happened in Xiangyang to all parties.

A day later, Cao Cao, who was convening a meeting of strategists in Wancheng, Nanyang, got the news, and his face was very flat.

"I didn't expect Xu Shu to have such courage, so that the Chu State might not fall apart quickly. However, the king of Chu is dead, the dragons of Chu have no leader, and there is no one who can control the situation, so it is not enough to worry for the time being. Now he will let his internal fighting consume, and wait for the lonely division to calm down and merge the state, stabilize the north, and then do Xu Tu. ”

"The lord is very good at what he said!" Xun You stroked his beard and smiled, and then said: "Not to mention whether the Chu State can still rise, it will become a weakening trend in at least a few years, and now it is reasonable to do everything possible to pacify and merge the state, and then seize the land of Yongzhou, so that we can cut off the troubles, go south with peace of mind, and calm it down in one fell swoop." However, the minister thought that he could not let the Chu State slowly recover like this, and should rely on the strength of others. ”

"Hahaha!!"

Cao Cao laughed heartily and looked extremely happy. "That's exactly what Lonely means."

Xun Yu comprehended his thoughts, and then admonished: "Then the lord might as well ask the imperial court to appoint Sun Jian as the general immediately, how about the three states of Yangzhou, Jingzhou, and Jiaozhou?" (To be continued......)
