Chapter 111: Funeral

Calculating the time, this delay was already a little late, and the two sons hurriedly knelt down in the lobby, and the official funeral was about to begin.

As the crowd slowly moved forward, everyone bowed deeply in front of the old city lord's coffin, and at the same time, the three children of the city lord also knelt on the ground and kowtowed. The son-in-law Ying Yuewen was burning the money in the brazier on the side, while the old housekeeper on the side was reading the eulogy.

"Ah......h Father...... "The third lady's tears are like rain, like a cuckoo crying blood, and an ape crying Wuxia." Suddenly, her body shook twice, and she almost lost her breath. Ying Yuewen hurriedly ran over to support his wife and handed over the paper-burning work to a subordinate.

The third lady cried silently in Ying Yuewen's arms, heartbreaking, and in the end, her voice became hoarse. In her mouth, she just kept shouting "Father, father......" and said nothing else. In just a moment, the placket of Ying Yuewen's front chest was already soaked at a speed visible to the naked eye. There were drips on it, all of which were the tears of the third lady.

And the eldest son and the second son also burst into tears, but as the young city lord of Luoyang City, they couldn't cry like their sisters. When it comes to expressing affection, women are born with advantages that men don't have. The figures of the two sons continued to tremble, and they all closed their eyes, and even then, a teardrop slipped down their faces. The eldest prince bit his lip tightly, his mouth was full of his own blood, and the second son's nails were already embedded in the palm. The two of them were still kowtowing and saluting, but everyone was worried about whether they would suddenly fall to the ground after kowtowing.

Ji Yunkong could see that these three people were not cheating, and at this moment, their hearts were really as uncomfortable as a knife. No matter how high-spirited they are outside, when they get home, they are still willing to be children who have been cared for and protected by the old city lord. Now that the old city lord is gone, this family is about to fall.

Everyone helped to reluctantly finish the ceremony, and the three of them gradually stopped crying.

"Eldest son, the time has come, it's time for the master to go." The old butler reminded.

Before the eldest prince nodded, an announcement had already come from outside the door: "General Chen has arrived-"

With this shout, a golden armor general walked into the Tang Dynasty quickly, with a wisp of white cloth tied around his waist, the dust on the armor, and his face also showed some fatigue. Ji Yunkong looked at the other party, took a few steps back, and hid his figure deeper.

And in the eyes of the two sons, there was a wisp of disgust and vigilance. The other party is a member of the imperial court, although Luoyang is also one of the territories of the imperial court, but it is rarely controlled by the imperial court. If the other party forcibly intervenes in the issue of Luoyang's heir, after all, it will cause a joint backlash between the two.

"Two sons," General Shuzhi was familiar with him, and hurriedly went up to greet him, "The imperial court specially sent me to come down to offer condolences." ”

The eldest prince nodded slightly, and said, "Hard work general, please!" After that, he wiped away the tears on his face, and personally took General Shuzhi's hand and walked to the stage. On the other hand, the second son on the side snorted coldly without fear, expressing obvious indignation.

Before Shu Zhi walked on stage, it was only a few steps away, and thousands of thoughts had flashed in his heart. He and Helian Jun are the same people, this kind of person has thoughts in his head all the time, and he never stops even when he sleeps, so when he interacts with them, he often has a feeling of being seen through at a glance. Not because they really see what is going on in your mind, but because they can easily deduce everything about you from small habits and actions that you can't even notice yourself!

The eldest prince is mentally tough, as deep as a pool of water, unpredictable, although the second son is impatient on the surface, but the plan in his heart is not enough for outsiders. If he is really just a rash martial artist, how can he compete with the eldest prince of Luoyang?

Shu Zhi took out a volume of holy decrees and read them according to the process. What is surprising is that this holy decree seems to be only full of mourning, and there is no mention of Luoyang's future arrangements and the position of the most important city lord. It seems that the matter of Luoyang City is tacitly decided by the two princes.

The next thing is to work like a normal process again. When carrying the coffin, Tie Buregret personally carried a corner of the coffin and personally escorted this old friend until the last journey. Then, when they arrived in the cemetery, the two sons, Ying Yuewen and Tie Buregret, held the shovel with their own hands, sprinkled the loess with a hand, and buried the coffin in the ground. Later, in front of the tomb, the three children cried again, burned a lot of money, and retreated. Even if the guests have nothing to do next, Wang Jun and others still have to keep filial piety for their father, and a set of processes will not be completed in a few months.

Those who came all the way to mourn will also go back after perfecting. However, there are also some people who stay, and among them, people like Tie Buregret, must accompany the old city lord until the end of the first seven tails. There are also some people who have been unable to pass through the road because of the heavy snowfall in recent days, so they can only stay here and wait for the arrival of the daily snow.

Among them, Ji Yunkong undoubtedly stayed in Luoyang "helplessly" because of this "reason".

That night, Ji Yunkong, who was already going to rest, received two letters inexplicably, respectively from the "Little Sword Emperor" Mo Yuchi and the "Big Iron Sword" Tie Buregret. Moreover, the content of the letter was surprisingly consistent, and they all asked him to go over and talk about it.

"Little Sword Emperor" Mo Yuchi's thoughts, Ji Yunkong could probably guess that it was probably because he showed a hand of swordsmanship in front of everyone during the day, so the other party was happy to see Hunting and wanted to learn from him. However, what did Tie not regret looking for himself? Ji Yunkong silently recalled everything he had shown during the day, although he was arrogant, but he would not arouse suspicion, so what did the other party mean? Ji Yunkong thought about it for a while, but he still turned around and went to find Tie Buregret, and at the same time, he didn't reply to a letter every time, telling him to visit another day.

Almost at the same moment, in a dark room in Luoyang City, two figures were talking face-to-face.

"This snow, you fell." A soft female voice rang out.

"On what basis do you think it's me?" The other male voice is full of the vicissitudes of the world.

"Nonsense, besides you, who has the ability to make goose feathers snow fall in this radius, even if it's winter, it's a little weird, right?"

"You think too highly of me, when it comes to spells, I'm not the only ......"

"It's enough to be first, unless, do you think, there's another person in the world whose spells are stronger than you?"

The male voice was silent, as if thinking about something: "What are you here for?" ”

"It's nothing, just meeting old friends."

"Leaving here, the world is already in chaos, and there are some things that you can't participate in."

"Hehe, don't worry, I'm measured, I've lived so long, I don't want to die yet. However, what you owe me is a debt, and you have to pay it back, even if you are one of the top ten masters. The female voice said the last word, and then left the room without hesitation, and the moment the door was opened, a ray of light shone in, illuminating the patterns on her skirt, which were all poisonous snakes and scorpions-like beasts, looking strange and enchanting
