Chapter 355: City of Sorrows
In the quiet night, Long Qifeng suddenly screamed, and there was anger in his voice. "What kind of small victory? Who said that? There are only more than 30,000 city guards, and each person's life is worth more than those miscellaneous pieces. Let's not whitewash ourselves, defending the city and playing such a proportion, this is a fiasco. As he spoke, he glanced at the military positions around him, and finally stopped at Teng Xinzun. "We must avenge this revenge, otherwise we won't be a witch man, and I won't be called Long Qifeng. ”
When Teng Xinzun heard this, his whole body softened, and he knelt on the ground all of a sudden, howling: "Brothers!
But Long Qifeng didn't let him go, but said coldly: "Teng Xinzun, take out some of the demeanor of the children of the family, if you are really a man, just like tonight, kill more people of the upright dynasty, and block the people of the upright dynasty from the outside of Yitian City with one to a hundred or a thousand." Don't just cry and make me look down. "He stood himself like a sharp gun in the darkness of the night.
Meng Huan Chilong was stunned for a moment, he didn't expect to lose so many people at once, you must know that this is talking about the death in battle, not including the injured brothers. If it is calculated in this way, it is equivalent to the loss of nearly 4,000 people, that is to say, there is no one who leads the captain, which makes him feel a little heartache.
And Long Qifeng's words and performance made him recognize Long Qifeng a little, at least they have one thing in common, that is, to defend Yitian City, defend the Wu Clan, and never back down.
Long Qifeng calmed down his emotions and signaled to the government official, and the government official said: "This matter is due to the fact that the lord of the collar system has prepared early, and the negotiation is mainly based on your subordinate Liao Shusheng, when we go, he has already negotiated first, and the other party is quite unreasonable, and he wants to change one by one." Although many of the people of the Duan Dynasty died, most of them had been taken away on the road they came. They wanted more people to buy with money, and Uncle Liao fought hard to get our people back, and this person made a lot of contributions in this matter. ”
Meng Huan Chilong looked at the dark night sky and said, "I know, in the days to come, I will ask the people of the Duanzheng Dynasty to pay double." Lord Castle Guard, I have to send the old patriarch back to the mountains and forests, and I have to take my leave. As for the matter of the people's army, I will start forming it tomorrow, but I have recruited the soldiers who have been trained like soldiers, and I hope to ask for their opinions, and if you are willing to stay in the people's army, please leave it to me. ”
Long Qifeng nodded and said softly: "Okay, I know that many of them are your clansmen, so if they want to stay, they can stay." Your current military position is still a leader, and when you have enough people, you will be promoted. He let out a long sigh. "It seems that there will be nothing wrong for a while now, and I will go over with the army to send the old man to his house!"
Meng Huan Chilong was just about to leave, but Long Qishui stopped him, and said with some embarrassment: "Lord Leader, in the battle outside the city, their people were returned, but the weapons and armor were detained, so you don't recruit soldiers to report, those five hundred sets of armor and weapons, aren't you?"
Long Qishui didn't say it clearly, but Meng Huan Chilong understood, nodded and said, "I know, I will send someone tomorrow, and I will never miss the matter of the city guards." ”
Long Qifeng said a little embarrassedly: "I can't help it, aren't you joining the army now, these things have to be considered." The Wu Clan has not fought in these years, and there are not many armor and weapons in the treasury of the military camp, so I can only guarantee the city guards first. ”
"I know, I can understand, rest assured, what I said counts, the weapons and armor of the people's army, I will find a way. Meng Huan Chilong didn't let Long Qishui explain again, but made a salute and took Meng Huan Mountain Tiger and others down the city wall.
As soon as Meng Huan Chilong got off the city wall, he saw Shi Jiarui running out of the crowd, kneeling in front of him, and said with tears in his eyes: "Thank you, Lord for saving my father and grandma, you are the benefactor of my Shi family." ”
Meng Huan Chilong took a step forward, helped Shi Jiarui up, and said: "Shi Jiarui, you are my personal guard, you know who I am, so don't do this." Besides, it is not my ability to save these people alone, but the help of everyone. What's more, no matter who encounters this kind of thing, they will help, so don't say such things. ”
Meng Huanshan Tiger said happily next to him: "I really saved your Abba and Grandma! I asked the big guy at the time, and he said that your Abba was here, but I didn't expect your Grandma to be there, which is great. As he spoke, he pointed to Wu Lijin next to him.
Wu Lijin shouted. "I'm not called a big man, my name is Wu Lijin, at that time you only asked Jiarui Abba, of course I said about his Abba. "Seeing that these two people are about to quarrel.
This gave Menghuan Chilong a headache, he didn't pay attention to it in the battle just now, but he didn't expect Wu Lijin to be the same as Menghuan Mountain Tiger, he was a muddy person.
"Okay, don't argue between the two of you, there's no time for this now. Then he looked at Shi Jiarui and said, "Do you have a place to live, Abba, no, let them come to live in the Lei Chamber of Commerce!"
At this time, a middle-aged man stepped forward and saluted: "Thank you for your concern, we already have a place to live." ”
Meng Huan Chilong looked at Shi Jiarui. Because he didn't know who this man was, and why he wanted to thank him.
Shi Jiarui smiled happily: "This is my Abba Shi Xuanhong, the people in Panshi Town now, they also live in the Lei Chamber of Commerce, it was the master who went to ask the master, and the master has agreed." ”
Shi Jiarui's smile pierced the heart of the red dragon, the Shi family had been reunited, but his elder brother didn't know where it was, and the patriarch and Wu Gong he liked were not there one by one, which made his whole person's expression dim.
He saluted Shi Xuanhong and said, "Uncle, congratulations on your family reunion, this is a happy event." It's just that I still have something to do, so I have to leave. I'll go see you guys when I have time. After saying hello to the others, he walked a little lonely towards the city.
Shi Jiarui followed behind and wanted to say something, but was stopped by his Abba, because Shi Xuanhong saw Menghuan Chilong's sadness, and also knew what happened to Menghuan Cottage and what they were going to do tonight.
When Meng Huan Chilong and his party hurriedly returned to the Lei Chamber of Commerce, the streets were already full of people, waiting for Meng Huan Chilong's arrival, among which there were many unfamiliar people in addition to familiar people.
They stood silently in the streets in the darkness of the night, holding torches in their hands or carrying lamps filled with animal oil, and looked solemnly at the coming dragon.
When he saw those people on the side of the road, the expression on his face also became heavy, and his steps slowed down, nodding slightly to familiar or unfamiliar people along the way.
In fact, the funerals of the Wu people are very detailed, and there are many funeral ceremonies. If you are dying at home, you can have a funeral during the day. And the patriarch was killed in battle, it was a fateful death, and the funeral must be carried out at night, and only in the night can their souls be brought back.
And the corpses that died unexpectedly can't be parked at home for three days, not to mention that now that they are about to face the battle of the people of the upright dynasty, the old patriarch is even more unlikely to have more time to stop, and after half the night, they can be counted as staying at home for two days, which is the reason why they chose to be buried in the second half of the night.
Tonight is not only the funeral of the patriarch and the dead tribesmen of the Menghuan tribe, but also those dead soldiers, who are also in time for the funeral tonight, they are all looking forward to the living sacrifice that can bring comfort to the deceased, so the whole long street is full of people.
The red dragon heard the sound of crying, which made his heart ache, and more than 2,000 people died in battle, which meant that it was a huge funeral, and the whole city of Elotia became a brightly lit city, and everyone held torches to light the streets.
It is a pity that this light is not because of joy, but because of sorrow, and all people stand solemnly, waiting for the funeral to begin, to bid farewell to their loved ones.
Etius City is destined to be a city of sorrow tonight, and this sadness will envelop the entire city for a long time, and all of this is caused by war.
Although he felt heartache, he was very calm, and walked towards the Lei Chamber of Commerce with a cold face and silence.
The people around knew what was going on outside the city, and the living sacrifices they had captured and the witch people who had rescued them proved everything. So when he came, those people automatically moved out of the way, which was a sign of respect for him.
He was the hero of the city, bringing with him the belief of victory.
Before Menghuan Chilong walked to the door of the Lei Chamber of Commerce, Menghuan Dapeng and Ma Jingmu greeted him, and when Menghuan Dapeng stood in front of Menghuan Chilong, he lowered his voice and said: "Patriarch, you are finally here, this side has been arranged, can you start?"
He gasped softly, nodded solemnly, and said, "When you're ready, let's go!"
This funeral was held with Meng Huan Dapeng as the master of ceremonies, and he shouted after seeing Meng Huan Chilong's approval. Then three ringing arrows were heard, flying out of the Lei Chamber of Commerce, making a strong whistling sound in the night sky, which meant that the funeral had officially begun.
I saw rows of Menghuan clansmen, carrying out the old patriarch from the main gate of the Lei Chamber of Commerce, and then the other dead clansmen. Meng Huan Chilong stepped forward, looked at the old patriarch lying on the door panel, and saw that the patriarch had changed into white clothes, and his expression and majesty were the same as when he was alive, and he couldn't help but shed tears.
The clan elder Menghuanhuo was helped out by several clansmen, and when he saw Menghuan Chilong, he nodded slightly and saluted, and then waited behind Menghuan Chilong. This is to tell everyone that Menghuan Chilong is the patriarch of Menghuan Cottage, and he, the clan elder, should also pay respect.
The people who surrounded the cottage walked in front, and from the alleys on the side of the street, some soldiers also came out, and they carried their fallen comrades and followed the procession. Because they don't have the time or money, they can only mix in with someone else's funeral if they hold a separate funeral.
This is called a secret burial in the Wu country, and it is generally done by the poor, and there is no money to organize the funeral, so they can only do it, which is a glorious thing for the main family. It's just that this phenomenon mostly occurs during famines, or during animal tides, and people don't have so much energy to organize a funeral.
Now the Menghu tribe is holding a grand funeral, because there is a living sacrifice, which has not happened in the Wu country for many years, and it also raises the level of this funeral.
The families of those soldiers don't think that the secret burial is a shame, everyone knows that they died fighting for the country, like the old patriarch, the most important thing is that in this special situation, even if you have money, you don't have time to hold funerals one by one.
