Ji Lao's funeral was surprisingly simple.

To be precise, it should be kept secret.

The last martial arts master who had guarded the Dayue royal family for decades left like this, as if a backbone of the royal family's already soft body had been forcibly removed.

The big moon is at a time when the wind and rain are shaking and the war is raging, and the last Dinghai Divine Needle is leaving, of course, it is impossible to publicize it in a high-profile manner, and it is even impossible to spread it even within the royal family.

Of course, it is impossible to hold a grand and magnificent funeral for Ji Lao, and the whole country will mourn together.

Of course, strictly speaking, the specifications of the funeral are not small, and it has even been said that it will be buried in the imperial tomb.

At the scene of the funeral, the highest identity was Queen Lin Xiaoyi, and the location was in a side hall of the palace, surrounded by solemn white, and all the palace maids and eunuchs were gone.

There were not many people who attended this funeral, but their identities were extremely noble, and most of the sadness on their faces could be called sincere.

There are not very few people from the royal family, there are dozens of them, most of them are elderly, and only a few young people follow Lin Xiaoyi's side, looking respectful.

Emperor Kang Jing didn't come—probably because Gu Dan was also there.

"The emperor said that there have been frequent war reports recently, and state affairs have been busy. Ji Lao has guarded Dayue for decades, and his hard work is high, no less than anyone in the royal family. In order to prevent Da Yue, who had worked hard to protect most of his life, from falling into the hands of thieves, he could only endure the grief in his heart and force himself to deal with state affairs first.

When the state affairs are a little slowed down, the danger of Dayue can be alleviated a little, so that he will have the face to come here to visit Ji Lao, and then he will come here to apologize, and the Dayue royal family will also remember Ji Lao's kindness for decades of protecting the country. ”

Lin Xiaoyi was beside Gu Dan, her voice was as gentle and beautiful as ever, and her eyes were slightly ruddy, conveying the meaning of Emperor Kang Jing at this time.

Her wording is very rigorous, saying "emperor" rather than the more personal and intimate "husband", which means that this is not what she meant, but just a message.

"Hmm."

Gu Dan nodded noncommittally, his expression indifferent and cold.

It didn't matter to him whether Emperor Kang Jing was really worried about the busy state affairs, or whether he was afraid that he would kill the emperor again like Moqiu.

Old Man Ji is no longer there, and he didn't visit him before he died, so where do he need someone to bother him after he dies?

What's more, there are no bones left, just adding a clothed mound.

The meaning of funeral goodbye is to say goodbye to the past, and to bury another person's life, and the meaning of missing is far greater than the situation.

But people in this era pay attention to entering the earth for peace, even if they don't see the bones, they have to bury them in the coffin with the things they had before their death.

Gu Dan chose to bury those treasures of Ji Lao into the soil together.

Utensils are spirits, not objects.

These people in the Otsuki royal family are not in the mood and will not have time to slowly explore those historical entches.

Elder Ji handed the inheritance to him, and he would go down with that inheritance, and that was enough.

Today is cloudy, and the mourning hall is also a little dim.

Suppressed cries sounded from time to time around them, and the older the people in the royal family wept, the more sad they became.

However, the few princes who followed Lin Xiaoyi, although they also looked sad, and even tears could be squeezed out together, but if there was any sincerity, it might not be.

There was even a bold one who quietly raised his head and dared to linger on Lin Xiaoyi's body for a moment or two, and occasionally his eyes slipped to Gu Dan's body, revealing a look of jealousy, and hurriedly pretending to be sad and lowering his head, thinking that no one would be able to find out.

Lin Xiaoyi was born quite beautiful, suffered when he was young, experienced major events that could affect people's lives, and lived a pampered life for nearly ten years after marrying King Yu, until King Yu ascended the throne, flew on the branches and became a phoenix, from a small unqualified doctor in the hospital, to become the queen of the big moon in one fell swoop.

The experience is enough to be called a few strange.

After all, the things that have been experienced will turn into some kind of bearing to accompany her, and Lin Xiaoyi, who has experienced strong winds and waves, is still as pure and sweet as the girl next door in front of Gu Dan, harmless to humans and animals, which makes people feel more cordial.

In fact, most of the time, the queen of the big moon does not give people a feeling of wanting to be close, when wearing a phoenix robe, Lin Xiaoyi really has the majesty and posture of a mother, but this majesty and posture have not been used on the body of the deceased.

Although Lin Xiaoyi is now thirty-four years old, she is still not half old when she is properly maintained, and she still does not see half of her old age when she has medical skills.

At this time, she was in the mourning hall, and she was naturally dressed in filial piety.

The pale white that makes people feel suffocated can't hide the occasional little moist skin, compared to the too pale filial piety, the white and tender skin is more eye-catching, like the bright moon in the sky and a little moonlight cast temporarily, but also with a little bit of ruddy color, full of energy, extremely attractive.

As the saying goes: if you want to be pretty, you must be filial.

The filial piety clothes that fit well are propped up somewhere, and the handsome face that has just cried looks coquettish and fragile, I see pity, I can't wait to make people cherish it in every way, and the white clothes are more pure and moving, and the dignified appearance of the past is completely different, and there is a different flavor.

Although Gu Dan can not squint, when many people's eyes fall on Lin Xiaoyi's body, they can't help but stay for a moment.

It's just that when he kneels and bows there and weeps, he dares to look at the person who is not afraid of death so presumptuously, but there is really only one.

"What are these people behind you for?"

Gu Dan asked casually.

"These are the emperor's princes, they are quite intelligent, and they are all manufacturable. The emperor specially ordered me to bring it, if Brother Gu is interested, do you want to accept an apprentice or something? ”

Lin Xiaoyi immediately answered.

Although she is the queen, she only has one child with King Yu, that is, Xiaoying, so naturally she can't be the prince.

The queen never gave birth to children, so she had to let other children's children take the throne.

These dragons came here specially because Emperor Kang Jing wanted Gu Dan to pass by, and to some extent, it was also a secret transaction.

In the past, Ji Lao looked down on Emperor Zongming and did not agree to make him a candidate for the crown prince, but the first emperor insisted, and finally let Emperor Zongming succeed in ascending the throne, and in one fell swoop, Dayue was in trouble.

After Ji Lao left, Emperor Kangjing asked Lin Xiaoyi to lead a few dragons over to say goodbye, which naturally had its meaning.

The main thing is to tell Gu Dan that if he is willing to join the royal family, he can choose a prince to accept as an apprentice, and when the current difficulties are over, Emperor Kangjing will die again, and the apprentice will be crowned with great treasures in the future, and naturally he will enjoy endless glory, wealth and respect.

For the lifespan of a martial arts master, waiting for an emperor to die of old age, the time for the new emperor to ascend the throne is not particularly long, even if it is more unlucky, if he really meets the prince of sixty years, the grandmaster can get through, it is nothing more than a change of candidate.

It's really a good calculation.

"Oh."

Gu Dan nodded, but really turned around, pointed at the lustful guy, and asked, "Who is this?" ”

The prince who was pointed out by Gu Dan was stunned for a moment, and then he was overjoyed, and kowtowed to Gu Dan again and again, which was much more sincere than when he cried like a fake one.

A slight sense of disagreement appeared on the faces of several princes around him, and the crown of his teeth was clenched, he never thought that such a young martial arts master would be so visionless and choose such a thing.

Are they worse than him?!

"This is the seventh son of the emperor, born to Yun Guifei. Well. It's okay to be a human being. ”

Lin Xiaoyi was also surprised, and it was inevitable that there would be some bumps and bumps between her words, and she didn't hold back any good words for a while.

Based on her understanding of Gu Dan's temperament, it stands to reason that Gu Dan will not have any intention of accepting apprentices at all.

Could it be that Ji Lao's death really brought some conceptual changes to Gu Dan?

In the past, Gu Bao Ke never bothered to pay attention to this kind of thing.

"This person can't."

Gu Dan spoke calmly, without explaining anything, and there was no need to explain.

A simple four words, like casually saying that the weather is not very good today.

Lin Xiaoyi was slightly stunned when she heard this, and then she seemed to understand something, and the corners of her mouth inevitably had a hint of a smile, nodded slightly, and said, "Then listen to Brother Gu." ”

She waved her hand slightly, and soon a guard who had hidden in the shadows and did not even show his face walked in to carry the Seventh Prince out.

"Let go of me! Why! Why can't I?! This is the Imperial Palace, how old are you! I'm the Seventh Prince, get out of here! ”

The man struggled frantically, like a writhing flesh worm, but no matter how he struggled, the guard's palms did not move at all, and forcibly dragged him up from the ground.

"I don't accept it, I want to see my father, I am the seventh prince, I want to see my father!"

The Seven Princes were still shouting, and the almost heart-rending roar disturbed the purity of the mourning hall.

The brows of many royal clan members couldn't help frowning, they didn't understand how someone dared to send him over to meet a grandmaster figure with such an indiscriminate bastard thing.

The expression on Gu Dan's face remained unchanged, as if he hadn't heard all kinds of foul language that had not been far away.

After a while, the invective suddenly stopped.

In the mourning hall, the princes who originally had a disgraceful look on their faces were already shaking like chaff, and they didn't even dare to take a breath of air.

The heart that was still quite looking forward to it was poured into the cold, and I couldn't wait to bury my whole body in the soil, and I didn't dare to expect to be able to "hand-pick" myself, and even had to see myself.

"Let Brother Gu smile."

Lin Xiaoyiqiao had a little apology on her face, it was not good to have this kind of farce in the mourning hall after all.

"It's nothing, let them all leave." Gu Dan said.

This time, no one asked why they wanted to listen to him, and there was no need for Lin Xiaoyi to order, and the few princes who were originally kneeling there almost got up and ran out of the mourning hall in a panic, far more active than those royal relatives.

It is said that dragons give birth to dragons and phoenixes, and none of the dragons of Emperor Kangjing's generation can see them, and even their courage is far behind.

But Lin Xiaoyi didn't have any disappointment on his face, as if he had expected it, and after all the royal relatives in the mourning hall left, Lin Xiaoyi asked, "Brother Gu frowned, seems to have something on his mind?" I don't know if Xiaoyi can listen to one or two, and I don't dare to say anything, it's okay to help Brother Gu do something. ”

Gu Dan glanced at her and said bluntly: "I will leave the imperial capital soon, and I will stay for another year at most." ”

He had already decided to use the internal qi of Aoki's Transformation Technique to smelt the five internal organs as soon as possible, and reach the realm of the Great Grandmaster as mentioned by Ji Lao.

Practice dirty can walk in the world, the martial arts master is the emperor and treat each other with courtesy, he has to wait until the great grandmaster is willing to go out of the mountain, it can be said that it is completely stable and stable, except for him, I am afraid that no one in this life dares to think of becoming a great grandmaster!

After he becomes a great grandmaster, there is no benefit to staying in the imperial capital, even if he encounters an enemy when he goes out, how can he be invincible in the realm? It will not be possible to capsize in the gutter.

It's time to start investigating all sorts of hidden things while hanging the pot to help the world, and it's best to find out what the taboos facing the Innate Realm are.

These things have been unable to stay in the imperial capital, and after the strength has been raised to the limit, Gu Dan is ready to go.

"A year?"

Lin Xiaoyi thought for a moment and asked, "I don't know where Brother Gu is going?" Is it to find Inkhill? ”

Moqiu is now fighting against the Four-Nation Alliance in Yangzhou with the Huang Dynasty, and Moqiu is no longer guarding Da Yue, but the countless people under Da Yue's former rule, and it doesn't matter who he cooperates with temporarily.

But of course, the royal family has its own position, and preparing to run to Moqiu at this time is similar to sticking the words "I want to rebel too" on my face.

"Yes."

Gu Dan nodded, not denying his thoughts.

"Then I wish Brother Gu an early display of his ambitions and become famous all over the world."

Lin Xiaoyi smiled softly and blessed from the bottom of her heart.

"Oh? I thought you'd hold back. ”

Gu Dan was a little surprised.

After all, Lin Xiaoyi is already the empress, and it can be said that she is the second direct beneficiary of the Great Moon Dynasty, and her friendship with him is not too deep, but it can be regarded as a good word.

In the past few years, Lin Xiaoyi has never asked him for anything, nor has he ever used his strength to accomplish something, the initial precautions have been eliminated, but it is like when he was in the hospital, the relationship is neither far nor close, like a familiar friend.

"Brother Gu's strength has been seen a few years ago! No matter how chaotic it is outside, Brother Gu must be safe, what is there to keep? ”

Lin Xiaoyi tilted her head sideways, looked at him half-up, with a faint smile on her charming and touching face, and joked: "Could it be that Brother Gu will change his mind because of my words?" ”

"Hah"

Gu Dan smiled and said almost rampantly: "If I do it, Da Yue is afraid that he will not be able to keep it immediately." ”

This kind of thing is not even a saint or hero like Mo Qiu, Huang Chao, and the White Lotus Sect Master, or even a professional thief, who stirs up one side, but Gu Dan seems to be extremely determined, even if he has never even walked out of the emperor.

"Brother Gu is in his chest, Xiao Yi wishes you all the best."

Lin Xiaoyi nodded, the expression on her face didn't change, and she couldn't tell what she was thinking.

This rotten country should have died sooner!
