The funeral ceremony of Zhong Yongnian and Qin Yizhong was carried out when the sky was still bright, when the curfew had just passed, the street was very empty, except for the Zhong family and the Qin family, there was only Wang Jinde, who represented the emperor.

It's not that others don't want to come to see King Zhenbei on his last journey, but the emperor blocked the news, saying that he hoped that King Zhenbei could leave quietly.

Zhong Shuyu naturally scoffed at this kind of rhetoric, but she did not object, for her, it makes no difference whether it is quiet or lively.

The emperor said that he wanted to be quiet, so naturally there were no people who even beat gongs and drummed suona, if it weren't for the large number of people, otherwise it would look more deserted than ordinary people.

The funeral procession walked out of Lin'an City along the street and marched to the Royal Garden in an orderly manner.

The royal mausoleum is said to be a garden, in fact, it is a land about the same size as Lin'an City, which is buried with royal people, although the king of Zhenbei is a king with a different surname, but the emperor also drew a piece of land to him in this to show his honor.

Zhong Shuyu sneered, and just when he thought that his father's last journey was going to go so quietly, he saw that the road leading to the royal mausoleum in front of him was full of kneeling people, and there were so many people that they couldn't see the end at a glance.

They had miserable faces, a white ribbon tied to their foreheads, and knelt opposite each other, leaving a narrow path for the funeral procession in the middle.

Seeing that they were uniformly wearing the military armor of the Zhong family, Zhong Zhiyu's heart moved, and he looked at Qin Bairui next to him: "The news you gave?" ”

Today's Qin Bairui is also wearing filial piety clothes without any patterns, and he has changed his normal way of putting away his laughter, and he looks a lot more stable. ”

"Do you know this is a protest?" Zhong Zhiyu raised an eyebrow.

Qin Bairui knew that she didn't care about this, so he sighed and said, "They are all soldiers under your father's command, and now that the general is about to enter the ground, he won't even let them send them on the last journey, that's too pitiful." ”

Zhong Zhiyu also sighed and asked, "How many people came?" ”

"Those who are in Lin'an are here." Qin Bairui looked at the Zhong family army who was kneeling quietly not far away, and said with some pride: "The Zhong family army has a total of 103,084 people, 50,000 people have been broken in the North Valley, 8,000 are guarding the Baili Ancient Road, and the other scattered ones account for more than 10,000 people, and there are more than 30,000 people who have come here this time. ”

More than 30,000 people......

Zhong Shuyu listened to the numbers full of emotion, the Zhong family army used to be the largest and strongest army in Dayu, but now there are only more than 30,000 people left......

Zhong Shuyu waved his hand back, and let the team move forward again, until the first Zhong Jiajun soldier passed.

"General go all the way!"

"General go all the way!"

"General go all the way!"

……

Every time a soldier passed by, Zhong Shuyu could hear such a sonorous and powerful voice, no one shed tears, not even choked, they just looked at the two coffins with heavy and resolute eyes, their eyes were full of hatred.

The road from Lin'an City to the royal mausoleum is not far or close, and the 30,000 soldiers lined up in twos and twos to arrive at the entrance of the mausoleum.

The last two kneeling soldiers, when the coffin came to them, suddenly got up and shouted: "Kill all the Xirong people and avenge the general!" ”

Immediately, the people next to him also shouted, and then I heard people in the distance shouting too. This slogan spread from the front of the mausoleum to the outside of Lin'an City, resounding in the sky of Lin'an, and never stopped for a long time.

Zhong Zhuyu looked at this scene, and suddenly felt that maybe this was Emperor Zhao's purpose, as long as the king of Zhenbei was more miserable, the more they would hate Xirong the Zhong family army loyal to the king of Zhenbei, and if the two countries really fought, it would be much easier to dispatch the remaining Zhong family army.

Zhong Yongnian and Qin Yizhong's tomb are very close, after the group settled them, the people who originally said that they would guard the tomb for them stayed, and when Zhong Zhiyu took a few people to prepare to go home, and walked out of the gate of the royal mausoleum, he was stunned to find that a long line of Zhong Jiajun had disappeared.

"They came in stealing." Qin Bairui explained: "They still have to rush back to the barracks, and now it is the emperor's personal guard who is in charge of the barracks. ”

As he spoke, he quietly glanced at Wang Jinde, who was following behind, with an expression of "you didn't hear anything".

Wang Jinde slandered in his heart, even if he didn't say this kind of thing, the emperor would definitely know! A kind smile was pulled out on Qin Bairui's face.

Early this morning, Princess Ning took the lord of Yaoling County to visit Zhong Shuyu in the Zhong Mansion, but she didn't want the Zhong Mansion to leave only a porter and a few rough subordinates, and they couldn't even explain Zhong Zuoyu's whereabouts, so they had to wait for Zhong Zhuoyu to come back in the hall, and they waited until noon.

As soon as Zhong Shuyu went home, he heard that someone had come to report that Princess Ning and Lord Yaoling were coming, and he didn't even have time to change his clothes, so he hurriedly went to the front hall to make amends.

"The grass people have seen Princess Ning and Lord Yaoling. I didn't know that the two nobles came, but they didn't greet them in time, and Princess Wangning and Lord Yaoling forgave their sins. ”

As soon as Zhong Shuyu walked into the hall, he gave them a big gift, the etiquette was complete, and her expression was humble, if it weren't for her extraordinary bearing, Princess Ning really didn't dare to recognize her.

"Why should the county lord make such a big gift, do I look like a person who blames others at will?"

Princess Ning said, and personally helped Zhong Zhuoyu up, her face was full of love, as if she really regarded Zhong Zhuoyu as her own nephew.

After Zhong Zhiyu got up, he still bowed his head with his chest in his hand, and said with a glance: "The grass people are not the county lord now, Princess Ning should not be called wrong." ”

Speaking of this, Princess Ning picked up the gift that was put aside, handed it to Zhong Shuyu, and said, "In my heart, you are the county lord, and I don't know how the emperor could make such a foolish decision, compared to how soon your identity will be restored." ”

Zhong Shuyu took a step back, avoided Princess Ning's gift, and bowed down deeply and declined: "Thank you Princess Ning for the gift, I received it kindly, but I can't afford Princess Ning's gift anymore, so I should ask Princess Ning to take it back." ”

"Sister, this was chosen by my mother herself."

Yao Ling stepped forward and bowed to Zhong Zhuyu Yingying, her thin cherry lips pursed and smiled slightly, revealing two shallow small pear vortices, which were really cute to look at: "Sister, just accept it, otherwise my mother will feel guilty for a long time when she goes back." ”

Zhong Zhuyu was so guarded against Princess Ning, but it was because she didn't know her intentions, but Yao Ling was really young and good-looking, and she looked at her with such an expectant face, Zhong Zhuyu had to admit that he was soft-hearted again.

"Well... Thank you, Lord Yaoling. ”

Although he accepted the gift, Zhong Zhuyu still kept an eye on it, thanking the county lord Yaoling, the gift of the child, the danger will naturally be much lower.

"Why do you want to see me like this, you are not like this at the Chinese New Year's Eve banquet." Princess Ning's eyes flashed, she took Zhong Zhuyu's hand and patted it, like a very serious elder: "I also feel sorry for your father's matter, but how did you get this temperament?" A girl your age should be carefree. ”

Zhong Zhiyu was young when she left her mother, and no one would talk to her about these things for so many years, and the warmth card played by Princess Ning at this time made her so embarrassed that she didn't know how to deal with it.

So she simply asked straight to the point: "I don't know what Princess Ning came to find the grass people?" ”

"It's nothing, it's just that I liked you when I first saw you, and at this time I just want to ask you if you have any difficulties, if you have difficulties, don't meet your aunt, aunt can help you solve it."

When Zhong Zhiyu heard this, her mind immediately became active, this is sleepy and someone came to deliver the pillow, no matter what her purpose is, it is also a good thing to be able to help herself who doesn't know where to start at this time.

So Zhong Shuyu said: "There is really something to ask my aunt for help." ”

Tsk has something to ask for, and even the title has changed. Yao Ling lowered his eyelids, blocking the disdain in his eyes.

"You say."

"Please help me find out the truth behind this disaster."

Zhong Shuyu said seriously, but Princess Ning didn't dare to answer, the two looked at each other, and the hall was so quiet that she could even hear her breathing.

After a long time, Zhong Shuyu smiled: "It's because I didn't think about it and embarrassed my aunt." However, one of the divisions of my Zhong family army was seriously injured and has been unconscious, if my aunt has a good doctor to save the world, can you take a look for him? ”

Princess Ning turned the relationship between this matter and saw that it was not in the way, so she agreed affectionately: "Okay, I'll find it for you." ”

"Thank you, Auntie."

Zhong Zhiyu bowed deeply again, hiding his expressionless face in the shadows.
