Chapter 148: Shelling (Plus Asking for Pink Tickets)
It's finally here......
Zhou Chengzong sat up from the couch, stared at the beam with blazing eyes, quietly flipped down, dragged out a tightly bound and gagged man from the back room of the cubicle, and threw it onto his couch.
Then he held his breath and ducked behind the screen at the other end of the couch and remained motionless.
There was a rustling sound on the roof beams, and a thick and dark mountain wind pierced the roof, falling like lightning, and biting the man on the couch!
Zhou Chengzong took advantage of this moment, raised his left hand lightly, and a thin needle of cow hair flew away quickly, piercing into the seven inches of the mountain wind!
The eyes of the mountain wind burst out, and the fangs bit violently again, and then let go of the mouth, fell off the couch, and died on the ground.
And the man on the couch, his whole body was sucked up by the mountain wind, and the whole person was as terrifying as a skeleton covered in skin and bones.
Zhou Chengzong looked at the man who was about the same size as himself, stepped on the seven inches of the mountain wind, and flattened its seven inches, before taking out a small burden from the cabinet behind the screen and carrying it on his back, putting on his red mask, and jumping out of the window.
He was about to jump onto the roof, but he saw a man standing on the roof, an old man with a white beard, and a man in his hand.
Seeing Zhou Chengzong come out, the old man threw the person in his hand down and said, "The one who released the snake, continue." β
Zhou Chengzong hurriedly stretched out his hand to take it, and threw it on the ground again, so as not to make too much noise.
That old man is none other than Old Man Zhou.
He jumped down from the roof, looked at Zhou Chengzong wearing a mask and said, "You still want to go?" β
Zhou Chengzong slowly lifted the mask from his face and held it in his hand. knelt in front of Old Man Zhou. He whispered, "Dad." You don't think you gave birth to my son......"
Old Man Zhou sighed, walked over to help him up, and said in a low voice, "What are you going to do?" Can you sue me? β
Zhou Chengzong still lowered his head, not daring to look at his father's tearful eyes.
This time, it was he who persuaded Mr. Zhou to cooperate with him and deceived many people.
"Dad, Chengzong thank you for helping me find a death row inmate. Die for me. From now on, Zhou Chengzong, the Divine General's Mansion, will no longer exist zΓ i, you old man, take care! Zhou Chengzong arched his hand and said.
ββ¦β¦ In your heart, the country is still bigger than the home, isn't it? Old Man Zhou endured the heartache and asked in a choked voice.
"Nope. They are just as important. Zhou Chengzong finally raised his head and looked at Old Man Zhou calmly, "I am the guardian." It's for the country, but also for the family. Now. There is a problem with the guardian, which is not only related to the fortune of the Great Xia country, but also to the survival of our Zhou family. - I can't sit idly by. β
"What do you want to do?"
"Not what I want to do. There's only so much I can do alone. I just want to do everything I can to find out who is behind the manipulation of the Guardians. If I'm lucky, I'll come back with a smooth line. If you are unlucky, Dad, please tell SΓΉ Xuan'er that in this life, I only hope that he can live a long life and live happily to his old age. β
Old Man Zhou finally burst into tears, looked at Zhou Chengzong, and choked up: "Your heart for your son is the same as my heart for my son." β
Zhou Chengzong couldn't help but tears welled up in his heart, he hurriedly turned his head to look at the night sky, and said, "Dad, my son is unfilial in this life, and I disappointed you." With that, Zhou Chengzong turned around and left.
"Chengzong, dad is proud of you in this life!" Old Man Zhou stopped Zhou Chengzong and said in a deep voice.
Zhou Chengzong didn't look back, his footsteps stopped, and he strode away.
Watching Zhou Chengzong's back disappear into the vast night, Old Man Zhou's sigh gradually fell into the evening breeze.
β¦β¦
Early the next morning, the mother-in-law on duty at night opened the curtain and said, "I don't know if the uncle has ...... awake."
"Ahββ!h
As soon as the words fell, a scream spread from the room in the flower hall compartment to the Divine General's Mansion.
Soon, the cloud board sounded again in the Divine General's Mansion.
Sheng Siyan and Zhou Huaixuan were awakened from their sleep by the sound of cloud boards, and turned over and sat up together.
Zhou Huaixuan opened the bed curtain and asked, "What's wrong?" β
"The eldest son, the eldest young grandmother, the uncle...... Uncle...... Uncle was bitten to death by the mountain wind last night! Zhou Xianbai's crying voice came from outside the door.
Zhou Huaixuan's hand tightened, and he suddenly ripped off all the bed tents.
He lifted the quilt, quickly rolled over and got out of bed, grabbed a robe and put it on, and ran out as fast as he could.
Sheng Siyan was also stunned for a long time before she asked the barley and hibiscus who came in to serve her, "...... What just happened? I seem to hear ...... I heard that my uncle passed away? β
"Grandma, come over quickly." Barley's eyes were red, as if he had just cried, "Everyone is going to kowtow." β
Although Zhou Chengzong has not cared about the affairs of the Divine General's Mansion over the years, he has always been the Lord of the Divine General's Mansion, and he has made countless military exploits over the years, and he is the pillar of the Divine General's Mansion and even the entire Great Xia!
With him, everyone feels confident and does not panic.
The last time he was so badly injured, he survived, who knows this last time, but he didn't survive.
Sheng Siyan hurriedly changed into plain clothes, thought about it, changed into plain clothes for Ah Bao, and hurriedly went to the flower hall compartment where Zhou Chengzong lived with him.
As soon as she arrived at the door, she saw that it was crowded with people, the maids and women who were in charge of the house, and the two thousand generals and soldiers stationed in the house, all of a sudden, crowded the wide field into a sea of people.
Steward Zhou was dressed in plain clothes and wrapped a linen belt around his waist, and he commanded his subordinates at the door to kowtow to the door of the flower hall compartment layer by layer.
Sheng Siyan hugged Ah Bao and stood far away, without passing.
Finally, when these people had finished kowtowing and retreated, Sheng Siyan walked over with Ah Bao in his arms and said to Zhou Da Steward, "Big Steward." β
"Grandma is here." Steward Zhou hurriedly turned sideways, "Please come inside." β
Sheng Siyan walked in with Ah Bao in his arms.
The flower hall has been arranged into a mourning hall.
However, the coffin is not ready yet.
Sheng Siyan walked into the cubicle of the inner room with Ah Bao in his arms, and saw Feng sitting in front of the window, like a clay wood carving. The face is expressionless.
Zhou Huaixuan stood beside her with his hands behind his back. Looking at the couch opposite, I was distracted.
Sheng Siyan only glanced at it. He turned his head and covered Ah Bao's eyes, wanting to kneel down and kowtow with him.
Who knew that Ah Bao was humming and chirping, but he refused to let her kneel.
Sheng Siyan had no choice but to say to Zhou Huaixuan: "Huaixuan, you hold Ah Bao and let me kowtow." β
Zhou Huaixuan came over to pick up Ah Bao, and at the same time pulled Sheng Siyan over. said lightly: "No need, you can go back." β
Sheng Siyan was stunned for a moment and said, "...... I want to kowtow. β
"Let's knock it later." Feng Shi also spoke up, looked at Ah Bao, and said, "Ah Bao, come to grandmother." β
Po stretched out his little arm and hugged Feng's neck.
Feng Shi hugged Ah Bao's soft little body with a faint milky fragrance, and felt better, and said with a slight smile: "...... It's not time to kowtow yet, right? Bao? β
Bao babbled and talked to Feng as if he understood.
Sheng Siyan knew that Zhou Huaixuan and Feng had a knot in their hearts for Zhou Chengzong. It was not easy to persuade at the moment, but she silently accompanied Feng's side, until the coffin of the fine golden silk nanmu was brought outside, and Zhou Chengzong was to be wrapped, and she went out with Ah Bao in her arms.
Zhou Chengzong, the god general, was bitten to death by a mountain wind that had not been encountered for thousands of years in the god general's mansion, and this matter quickly spread throughout the capital.
Emperor Xia Zhao was also very shocked when he heard the news in the palace, and he couldn't wait for the next dynasty, so he took the courtiers to the Shenjiang Mansion to mourn Zhou Chengzong.
Because of this kind of thing in the Divine General's Mansion, Zhou Huaixuan immediately asked Emperor Xia Zhao for his life, and transferred more soldiers from the Divine General's Mansion from outside the city to guard the Divine General's Mansion tightly.
Officials who came to pay their respects were not only interrogated, but also searched with magnets.
Whatever iron is found on his body, he will be searched.
Some officials felt shameless and couldn't help but say, "What's the use of guarding so tightly?" Or did you die unexpectedly? Not yet safe ...... my house."
Of course, there were officials next to him who were good friends with the Divine General's Mansion, and they sneered at each other: "Do you think your family can be compared with the Divine General's Mansion?" - Don't you know if you are not afraid of thieves stealing, but you are afraid of thieves? β
"Yes. It's up to you? Your house is open in the middle of the night, and people don't want to come to the door. What's the use of killing you? Don't put gold on your face, if you want to be bitten to death by the mountain wind, you are not qualified to vote ten times! β
"Do you know what a mountain breeze is? - That's an ancient beast! β
"God is a ......" The official was sarcastically ridiculed by everyone, and he only dared to slander himself secretly, and did not dare to complain publicly.
β¦β¦
When Zhou Huaili heard the news, he immediately sent someone to the General's Mansion to report the news, but he went to the Wu Guogong Mansion first.
Old Man Wu had already known the news, and was waiting for Zhou Huaili to come to the door, and said to him: "You take the people of your family to mourn." After a pause, he said, "You go and get your father back." His brother is dead, and he should come back and kowtow. β
Zhou Huaili nodded, turned around and went back to the General's Mansion to pick up Jiang Siniang, Zhou Yanli and Grandma Wu San, and went to the Shenjiang's Mansion to mourn and accompany the guests.
They are considered to be their own family, and when they hold a funeral, they should be on the side of the host's house to salute the guests.
Unexpectedly, after they went, Zhou Da Steward came out and said to everyone: "Our uncle has a will before his death, and the funeral is simple. This time, we're not going to do much. The funeral will be out after seven days. No courtesy, no treat, please go back. β
"Huh? How can this be? God has worked hard for him, how can you neglect his aftermath like this?! β
"That's it! You can't do that! Call Zhou Lao out! Chengzong, this kid is something I watched grow up, he has been honest all his life, and he has done so much for Daxia! You can't do that! β
Steward Zhou also felt that this was inappropriate, but Old Man Zhou, Feng and Zhou Huaixuan were unwilling to make a big funeral, and he had no choice but to say over and over again: "This is the uncle's last wish, please respect the last wish of the grandfather." Our uncle has a spirit in the sky, and he must have understood it. β
It took a long time to persuade most of them away.
Those who stayed behind were all close relatives and friends of the Divine General's Mansion.
β¦β¦
At the same moment, the long-dormant Qijin mansion in the capital released colorful fireworks. - That's the signal from the Guardians.
Grandma Wu San inadvertently looked up and saw it, she was shocked, and hurriedly pointed out that she left the Shenjiang Mansion and went back to the General's Mansion.
