Nothing was said all night.

Early the next morning, the originally sunny weather, I don't know why a dark cloud pressed down, making the already depressing atmosphere even more depressing!

After getting up and washing, I put on the plain clothes prepared by the housekeeper, pushed open the door and walked to the dining room.

It's just that when I arrived at the dining room, it was rare to see Murong Wanlin, Rong'er and Yingyi already waiting!

The three of them were also dressed in plain clothes, and they didn't chat.

Seeing me coming, the three of them got up and said hello, I nodded, and sat down for breakfast.

After breakfast, I glanced at the second daughter, and suddenly said, "If you are not used to it, you will stay in the house, in fact, it is nothing!"

The second daughter shook her head, and Rong'er took the lead in speaking, "Brother, it's okay, I'll go over with Sister Murong, we will stand in the crowd, and there will be no danger." ”

I glanced at Rong'er, then at Murong Wanlin, and said helplessly, "Wanlin, then you have to take care of Rong'er here, there will be a lot of people at that time, don't have an accident!"

"Don't worry, I'll pay attention!" Murong Wanlin wiped his mouth and said softly.

Seeing that everyone had eaten, I pushed away the bowl and walked outside.

And just before I had breakfast, Zhuge Jin galloped over with a group of army commanders and regiment commanders on war horses, and of course the three royal attendants who delivered urgent mail.

It's just that Zhuge Jin hanged at the back of the team with Xueyi and Leng Feng, chatting as they walked.

As he chatted, Xueyi suddenly said, "Why do you say the boss is holding this sacrificial ceremony? It's so far away, the dynasty can't see it, isn't it a little bit like that?"

Leng Feng said solemnly, "Blood One, what are you talking about?"

"Make a show, I'm worried that someone will scold the boss behind his back for making a show, this old emperor has passed away, what kind of sacrifice ceremony is there here!"

In this way, Leng Feng has nothing to say, if some people are willing to chew the root of their tongues, there is no way to say that it is a show.

On the other hand, Zhuge Jin didn't care at all as if he hadn't heard them speak, riding a horse.

After being silent for a while, Xueyi glanced at Zhuge Jin, and saw that he had not meant to speak, he couldn't hold back, and Xueyi asked directly, "I said military advisor, are you here to talk about it, what is the situation?"

Zhuge Jin was originally thinking about something, but was suddenly interrupted by blood, so he had to roll his eyes helplessly and said, "I said that you guys just eat salty radishes and worry about it, your ideas are too superficial, can you think about it at a deeper level?"

Zhuge Jin's inexplicable sentence completely blinded the two.

Zhuge Jin glanced back at the two of them, his eyes were still confused, and he said angrily, "First of all, let me ask you, why does the boss have to bring us the guards who delivered the message with us?"

"I want the guards to pass the word back, although the boss can't go back, but he hasn't lost his etiquette?"

"This is just one aspect, but what about the deeper reason?"

The two were silent for a while, then shook their heads.

"It's to make a mark!" Zhuge Jin said lightly.

"Imprint?" the two of them pondered the meaning of these two words.

"Yes, it's a brand, the boss wants to pass on a message to the outside world through the mouths of these people, the boss is loyal to the old emperor, loyal to this dynasty!" Zhuge Jin shook his head.

"But the old emperor is dead, what's the use of being loyal to him?" Before the blood could speak, Leng Feng asked directly.

"Look, don't I say you're superficial? The boss is setting up a flagpole for himself, and when the opportunity is right, the boss can carry this flagpole and wave his army south!"

Speaking of this, Zhuge Jin directly shut up and stopped talking, because Zhuge Jin knew that if you say too much, you will lose, and it is not appropriate to say too much.

"What flagpole, what flag, what pole?" are you talking about?" Leng Feng immediately asked.

It's just that Zhuge Jin isn't making any answers, so don't think about it if you don't understand. Then he shook his head and said, "Let's hurry up, don't be late, it'll be ugly then." ”

Then the people stopped talking, and hurried to the county seat.

When he arrived at the gate of the southern city, An Xiaotian, who took the lead, stopped first, ready to dismount and lead the horse into the city.

At this time, Zhuge Jin immediately shouted, "Xiaotian, wait, wait a minute." ”

This shout made the two guards suddenly stunned, and they didn't know what this meant.

When Zhuge Jin walked to the gate of the city, he directly turned over and dismounted and said, "War horses, swords, weapons, etc., all stay outside the city, don't bring them into the city!"

At this time, Zhuge Jin said directly and seriously, with a straight face, and his expression was extremely serious.

At this time, many people had already entered the city gate in plain clothes, and of course they also heard Zhuge Jin's words, and the people nodded approvingly.

Everyone still didn't quite understand what kind of medicine Zhuge Jin was selling in this gourd, but the military advisor opened his mouth and had to follow. So untie the sword and hang it directly on the saddle, and then tie the horse to the side.

Then the crowd walked directly into the city.

Of course, there is no need to worry about the loss of the war horse or the sword, the current Feixi County does not say that the door is not closed at night, but at least the road can be left behind, and there will be no malicious robbery.

Of course, Zhuge Jin's words were also heard by the soldiers guarding the city, and then all the horses or cars that entered the city were stopped outside the city, and no one said anything.

The common people may understand that there are many people in the city today, and that horses and other things will hurt people if they go crazy.

But Zhuge Jin did this, not because of this, but because of a deeper level of thought, of course, it was also to cooperate with my sacrificial ceremony today.

Following the crowd, Zhuge Jin and his party walked towards the central square.

And on the whole avenue, everyone is dressed in plain clothes, there is no usual laughter, even children, there is no noise, everyone has a solemn expression.

On my side, I set off from the County Guard Mansion, and Murong Wanlin and Rong'er, as well as some people who were cultivating in the cultivation tower, and some attendants of the County Guard Mansion, etc., followed me and walked towards the central square.

As for Gongsun Ce, he is no longer in the mansion for a long time, of course, Gongsun Ce's wife and children are surprisingly in the team of the county guard.

All the way forward, everyone nodded when they saw me, did not salute, and did not step forward to say hello, because relatively speaking, the biggest one today is the old emperor who has died.

At this time, a high platform has been erected in the central square overnight, and after simple arrangement, a sacrificial mourning hall has been formed. Because there was no hexagram of the old emperor, in the end, Gongsun Ce had no choice but to put the big seal of Feixi County on top.

With the politeness of the crowd, I successfully walked to the edge of the high platform.

At this time, Zhuge Jin and his party had already arrived at the edge of the high platform, and followed Gongsun Ce to whisper something.

"My lord, you've arrived, and you're almost ready, look?"

Gongsun Ce saw me coming, stepped forward quickly, and hurriedly said.

I waved my hand and said, "Wait for the time being, I see that there are still people coming one after another, wait for now." ”

Then I didn't say a word, I walked directly to the high platform, looked at the big seal, turned my back to the people, and stood like that, waiting slowly.

About 1 hour later, the entire central square was already full of people, it can be said that it was crowded with people, but it was quiet and solemn, and no one was noisy.

And several main roads leading to the central square are also full of people, and the central square must be so big that it can't be full.

I slowly turned my head and looked at the people in the square, all of them in plain clothes, black and oppressive, echoing with the dark clouds covering the county town.

I said lightly: "Relatives of Feixi County, the old emperor died 10 days ago. Due to our remote location, by the time we received the information, we could no longer go to the imperial capital to attend the state funeral. ”

"But we can't ignore the funeral of the old emperor because we can't go, so today I am here to specially hold our sacrifice ceremony in Feixi County to send the old emperor to the early bliss!"

"At the same time, I hope you will always remember that you can have such a stable and comfortable life today, all of which is given to you by the old emperor!

"When I first came here, the people who stayed behind would say that the dynasty didn't care if we lived or died, that no one cared about us anymore, and that we were left to fend for ourselves. ”

"But I'm here, I'm specially sent by the old emperor to help you, to help you resist the barbarians and rebuild your homeland. Therefore, today I hope that the people of Feixi County will send off the old emperor on his last journey with a grateful heart. ”

With my words, many old people shed hot tears, because they witnessed how Feixi County has gone from barbarian trampling to living and working in peace and contentment today!

And all of this is due to the old emperor and the old emperor's reluctance.

The crying gradually got louder. Many women were secretly sobbing, and some men were secretly wiping tears from their eyes.

I glanced at everyone and said loudly, "I hope that each of us, with great awe, bows to the old emperor who has passed away!"

As my words fell, I took the lead and bowed deeply.

"I am bowing"

"Three Bows"

With the end of the three bows, it is almost the end of the salute.

I turned to the people in the audience and said, "This sacrificial platform will not be removed for three days, I hope that the people of our county town will not forget the kindness of the old emperor to everyone, and can take the initiative to come over to offer incense and sacrifice." ”

Then I took the initiative to put on the three sticks of incense, and then Gongsun Ce and Zhuge Jin stepped forward one by one and respectfully put on the three sticks of incense.

After everyone finished offering incense, I stood there silently and told Gongsun Ce to take everyone back to the house to rest, and I decided to stay here for a while.

And the scene I did all fell into the eyes of the attendants who came to deliver the letter, and also fell into the eyes of the people of the whole county.

Gongsun Ce didn't say anything, Murong Wanlin was going to stay with me, but I whispered to persuade her to leave.

I was like that, looking south, silent. Behind him were ordinary people queuing up to offer incense, and there was no chaos in the whole scene, just silent action.

At this time, an old man, after applying incense, saw me looking at the south with his hands down, sighed softly, and then hobbled behind me, patted me lightly on the shoulder, and said:

"Lord County Guard, you can also go back and rest, you have been standing for a long time, and the development of our county town still needs you!" Then he left with the support of his family.

And I stood for 3 hours before I sighed, looked at the people who were still in line, and walked down with my head down.

What I don't know is how many people in the county town have been touched by my actions today.
