“... Copper up... Can you tell me more about my father's injuries? Wu Su pleaded.

"Then I'll have to lift your father's clothes again. ”

Wu Su nodded, wiped his tears, and stood aside and waited quietly.

Tong Qi breathed a sigh of relief, unbuttoned Wu Zhiyan's shirt again, and carefully examined the wound.

"There are many scars on General Wu's body, but most of them are just abrasions and bruises, but this wound penetrates the body, and it should be through the heart," Tong Qi said while inspecting it, "There are burn marks on the skin on both sides of the wound, and the rest of the wounds are more or less burned, that is to say, the injuries on General Wu's body are almost caused by the same kind of derivative force, and there are four large and small. Fifty places, the two of them have dozens or even more of them, which shows that their strength is equal, and the other party's derivation power is either earth fire or heavenly thunder. ”

"The person who can let my father fight alone must also be in a high position in the opposing army, and on a par with my father," Wu Xu muttered to the side, "If I want to find him, it should not be difficult." ”

Tong Qi wanted to say something, but the words came to his mouth and swallowed again, and finally just said: "It's better to accompany your father on the last journey with peace of mind, didn't you say that he would be buried tomorrow." ”

While the two were talking, a voice came from outside the ancestral hall, and it was the old butler who hurriedly came with someone from the General's Mansion worriedly.

Wu Su and Tong Qi didn't continue.

After that, Tong Qi woke up the two guards, and the old butler apologized and stuffed the two of them with some silver taels, which was considered to be the end of the trouble.

"You all go back," Wu Xu's mood had completely stabilized, but he was still weak to speak, "I am here to accompany my father until tomorrow's burial." ”

The old housekeeper didn't know whether Wu Xu's current state was good or bad, so he looked at Tongqi inquiringly.

Tong Qi nodded: "I'll accompany her, it'll be fine." ”

The old housekeeper could understand Wu Su's current mood, although he was not at ease, but he still ordered his subordinates to go back and bring her cotton wool and pillow quilts.

It was getting dark, and the scorching air suddenly cooled down.

Two guards were still guarding the door, and the two futons sent by the general's palace had been spread out on the left and the right.

Wu Su lay beside the coffin, staring at the person lying inside in a daze, and did not speak.

"Whew, it's finally done!" said Tong Qi, clapping his hands.

"Ugly bastard, how long will you stay here?"

The night in the desert is exceptionally quiet, and even the sound of crickets that is often seen at night in the Central Plains cannot be heard here.

So although Wu Xu said it quietly, he was really heard by Tong Qi.

"It's just one night, are you going to live here after tomorrow?"

"I'm not asking you this, I'm asking you... Ask how long you will stay in the Eastern Desert. ”

Tong Qi was stunned for a moment, and for the first time he really noticed that he had sent Wu Su home.

"I don't know, maybe I'll stay for a while, but it shouldn't be long. ”

"Yes," Wu Su swallowed his saliva, paused slightly, and said, "Then you accompany me to finish my father's funeral, and then... Let's go back to the Central Plains. ”

"Good. "Copper didn't want to think about it, so he responded.

Following.

Early in the morning, the people from the General's Mansion arrived at the ancestral hall dressed neatly and rigorously.

and changed Wu Xu and Tong Qi into specially prepared clothes and pants.

Outside the ancestral hall is a scene that Tong Qi has never seen since he was a child—a ceremonial officer from the imperial palace who sent General Wu's coffin to an eight-wheeled carriage hung with gold and red silk.

In front of and behind the car, there were at least hundreds of civilian officials in ceremonial clothes and soldiers with halberds and swords.

Wu Su was taken by the officiant into the carriage containing Wu Zhiyan's coffin, and handed her the reins of one of the four horses, but the real reins were in the hands of a person who specialized in driving, and she was just a formality.

On the other side, Tong Qi boarded the carriage of the general's family members.

The men and horses of the honor guard set off from the ancestral hall and headed for the northern far city.

Along the way, the gongs and drums were noisy, and the soldiers shouted neat military trumpets, and the scene was extremely spectacular.

They entered the city through the east gate of the northern far city, and the streets of the city were already filled with soldiers and guards who separated the people from the side of the street and made way for a wide main road.

The sound of gongs and drums and the shouts of soldiers resounded throughout the city, and the convoy arrived in front of the palace with solemn military etiquette.

"Why is this burial so troublesome?" asked the old butler who was in the same car with him.

"Uncle," the old butler said respectfully, "this is a state funeral, and the old man will ...... for the rest of his life."

"Wait, what uncle, you're mistaken," Tong Qi hurriedly waved his hand to stop him from continuing, "I understand, state funeral, yes, yes, understand." ”

The main gate of the palace was wide open, and the six carriages of the lord of the country slowly drove towards this side, the two cars converged and walked side by side, and Zhuo Xuanxin led them in military uniform.

The honor guard followed the main road out of the West City Gate, and did not slack off all the way until the General's Mausoleum.

The civil and military officials were here early.

Zhuo Xuanxin and the carriage of the lord of the country went to the side, allowing Wu Zhiyan's carriage to be the first to enter the mausoleum.

"After Zhiyan's entry into the mausoleum, you will take the elite soldiers to detour from the South China Sea to the Central Plains," the lord of Ma Si Country sat in the car and said to Zhuo Xuanxin who was driving outside, "Don't rush for quick success, everything goes according to plan." ”

"The last general understands," Zhuo Xuanxin replied, "After arriving in the Central Plains, I will let them disperse and slow down until they receive a signal from the prince." ”

"Also, I found Chen Yin first, and told him euphemistically that Qi Feng was "temporarily staying" in Beiyuan City, and he knew what to do," the lord sighed, "Outside of Zhiyan hurting the Central Plains, you messing with the Central Plains, it was a seamless thing, but God was playing tricks." ”

When the lord of the country said this, he reminded Zhuo Xuanxin: "Lord of the country, if Su'er asks about who killed her father, should the last general say it?"

"Nope. ”

"Understood," Zhuo Xuanxin said, "In other things, I will say bluntly, Chen Yin is not so easy to control. ”

"I don't really care if he can get those five soul jades back," the lord said, "I want the Xufeng family to do more." ”
