Chapter 045: Zhaojun ran to mourn
Zhaojun expected it very right, His Royal Highness Zhaoyao first ascended the throne, this is the day of the same celebration in the city, Zhaoyang's character Zhaojun knows too well, in order not to sweep the interest of the people in Qingfeng City, the funeral of the queen mother will not be a big deal, so Zhaojun rushed back to Qingfeng City in the starry night.
Zhaoyang personally handled the aftermath of the queen mother, and Tie Li bathed and changed clothes for the city lord: "Eldest princess, let's be buried!" Zhaoyang: "Let's be buried!" Can the grave in the west of the city be dug well?" Tie Ying: "It should be almost, Ren Wu took people there." Tie Ying beckoned the old palace maid to help.
Put the body of the city lord into the coffin of the golden silk nanmu, Zhaoyang: "Put it in the carriage and go out of the west gate." There was no one else in the city lord's family, and Tie Ying beckoned them to load the coffin into the carriage, and Zhaoyang entered: "Your Highness, go out of the west gate and bury it overnight." Zhaoyao: "Okay!"
Dozens of palace guards protected the carriage, Zhaoyao sat in a soft sedan chair, and Zhaoyang held the soft sedan chair in his hand: "Get on!" The sedan chair man lifted the soft sedan chair and followed behind the carriage, and all officers and soldiers intercepted and interrogated along the way.
I saw a lantern shaking from a distance, it was Ren Wu watching them dig a grave, Guo Ziyi and Tie Li rode out of the city to send the city lord a ride, Zhaoyang: "Mr. Guo is here!" Guo Ziyi: "Send the city lord!" Zhaoyang: "Thank you, Mr. Guo." Zhaoyao: "Eldest princess, don't you notify the county lord?"
Zhaoyang: "Zhaojun is far away in Dongyue City, I'm afraid it's too late to come back." The group silently drove away the carriage and moved forward, and Ren Wu saw someone carrying a lantern coming: "It's already here, stand on both sides!" The grave has been dug up, and the official messenger stands on both sides of the grave.
The carriage stopped and unloaded the coffin, Zhaoyang: "Why hasn't the person who is doing the work arrived yet? Ren Wu: "Yes!" Carrying the lantern and running back to the west gate of Qingfeng City, Guo Ziyi took a look from a distance: "Eldest princess, the county lord of Zhaojun is here!"
Zhaoyang looked at the torch shaking in the distance: "Mr. Guo, is it really Zhaojun?" Guo Ziyi: "There are Dongyue secret agents in Qingfeng City, and the secret agents who have happened in Qingfeng City have already flown pigeons to spread the book to Dongyue City, and it is normal for the county lord of Zhaojun to come back to mourn, and if he doesn't come back, it won't be Zhaojun." ”
The city lord was quietly buried, and many people in Qingfeng City didn't know, including the civil and military officials, they didn't bring a large number of officers and soldiers when they went out of the city, whether they came or not, Guo Ziyi was there, there was nothing to fear in Zhaoyang, and Tie Ying was always by the side of His Royal Highness Zhaoyao.
Tie Li handed Guo Xiaobao to Guo Ziyi: "I'll go over and take a look!" Tie Li was worried that Guo Ziyi guessed wrong, there was no guard at night, and the safety of His Royal Highness Zhaoyao was important, and the torch did not go to the north gate of Qingfeng City, but went to the west gate, and stopped at the west gate and immediately came here.
Tie Li walked away, and came back after a while: "Mr. guessed right, it is the county lord of Zhaojun, and Ren Wu came over with a piece of practice." Zhaoyang: "Mr. Guo is like a god, and he will be buried when the lord of Zhaojun arrives." "The people of the cemetery are waiting for them to come.
When Ren Wuyi arrived, he immediately arranged for them to do things, Zhaojun got down from the carriage, walked to the coffin and knelt down: "Queen Mother, Zhaojun is late!" Holding the coffin and crying loudly, the Dongyue people who protected Zhaojun stood aside and watched, Zhaoyang: "Zhaojun, let the queen mother go to the ground!"
Zhaojun stood up, and Tie Ying helped Zhao Yao over: "Fall into the coffin!" Sixteen people carried the coffin to the edge of the grave, eight ropes passed through the bottom of the coffin, and put the coffin into the grave steadily, Tie Ying handed Zhao Yao a shovel, and Zhao Yao shoveled a shovel and sprinkled it on the coffin: "Queen Mother, rest in peace!"
Tie Ying led Zhaoyao to the side, the palace soldiers began to fill the grave pit, Zhaoyang helped Zhaojun to watch the grave fill up, piled up the grave, Zhaoyang: "Tie Ying, please Your Highness knock on your mother!" Zhaoyao knelt in front of the grave and kowtowed three times, Zhaoyang: "Zhaojun!
The two sisters kowtowed in front of the queen mother's grave, and Zhaojun didn't cry as he imagined, but cried silently: "Sister, I won't go back to Qingfeng City in the future." Zhaoyang: "Zhaojun, Qingfeng City is your home, just pretend to be in your heart, and come whenever you want." ”
The sisters parted, and Zhaojun said: "Sister, take care of the little brother! I'm leaving." Zhaoyao: "Sister, where are you going?" Zhaojun: "Marry the prince of Dongyue!" Zhaojun didn't look at Guo Ziyi from beginning to end.
Huba: "Go over and salute!" The officers and soldiers of Dongyue came to the grave in an orderly manner and bowed, originally asked Huba to protect the county lord of Zhaojun and return to Qingfeng City, Huba was also very worried, he was a prisoner of Qingfeng City, a traitor to the Northern Yan people, Guo Ziyi was present and did not embarrass them.
The maid served Zhaojun to get into the carriage, and they were about to leave, Guo Ziyi: "Huba, don't go to Dongxi, go to Yangtian Cliff and go back to Dongyue City to the east." "Crossing the East Creek and going back to the east is a short road, and walking the Yangtian Cliff and then going east is far away, and it is not an ordinary far.
Hu Ba didn't say anything, he understood Guo Ziyi's reminder, it must be that the people of Beiyan have been secretly watching his whereabouts, he has been away from Dongyue for so long, the secret agent has already reported Beiyan, leaving the cemetery, Zhaojun lifted the curtain: "Ignore him, cross Dongxi and return to Dongyue City." ”
At this time, it was already the second half of the night, the team bypassed Qingfeng City and rushed to the east, preparing to cross Dongxi, the protection of Qingfeng City, His Royal Highness Zhaoyao was ready to enter the city gate, Zhaoyang: "Mr. Guo, please excuse me, Zhaojun will not listen to your advice, he will definitely go to Dongxi, I don't want him to be in danger." ”
Guo Ziyi handed Guo Xiaobao to Tie Li: "Guo Xiaobao, go home with your mother!" Tie Li took it and put it in front of his chest: "Sir, I'll go with you!" Guo Ziyi: "Go home! Guo Xiaobao is already sleepy." Guo Xiaobao was already sleepy.
Zhaoyang: "Let's go! Go back to the city!" Zhaoyao got into the carriage, Zhaoyang and Tieying were close to protect, Guo Ziyi: "Get on the horse! I'll send you to the city gate." Ren 5 and Ren 6 protected both sides of Zhaoyao's carriage, and the others followed the carriage to the west gate of Qingfeng City.
Guo Ziyi watched them enter the city gate closed, turned around and disappeared into the darkness, he didn't ride a horse, it was better to run faster on horseback, bypass the north gate of Qingfeng City, and go to Dongxi, the people and horses brought by Zhaojun have already stepped into Dongxi, and they are about to cross Dongxi.
Suddenly, a net appeared in Dongxi, and the carriages and horses were blocked in the net, Huba: "Protect the county lord! Dismount!" protected Zhaojun in the siege wall of Dongxi Lake, which became a target, and dense arrows shot from all directions, and more than half of the guards were killed or wounded.
Zhaojun: "Disperse! Disperse quickly!" Lie in the water!" The guards crawled in the East Creek to avoid the bow and arrows, and Zhaojun observed and found the direction of the arrows: "Huba! Bring a few over and kill the archers." Huba also saw the direction of the bow and arrows: "You guys come with me!"
There are water ghost killers hidden in Dongxi, they come out of the water to assassinate the Dongyue guards, Huba hurriedly retreated: "County Lord! Stick out to the east! Protect the county lord!" There are water ghosts hidden in Dongxi, and they must go ashore immediately to be safe, and the archers have a good hiding place and are not easy to be wiped out.
Zhaojun can't use his kung fu now, and he secretly regrets that he didn't listen to Guo Ziyi's words, the guards suffered heavy casualties, and it was dark to see the sneak attackers clearly, they were scurrying around in the East Creek like headless flies, Zhaojun: "Huba, find the way to the shore." ”
Tonight, the moon is dark and the stars are sparse, and the direction is not clear in the dark, and the water ghost does not know when it will emerge from the water, although Hu Ba said that the rebel general of Beiyan is loyal to Murong Kuang, Zhaojun is, Murong Kuang's woman, of course he has to do his best to protect it.
