Chapter 461: Ashes
In the solemn military office, a middle-aged colonel in a crisp military uniform stood in front of the window, looking into the distance, followed by a major who was also dressed neatly.
The colonel was silent for a while, and then said to the major: "Since we have made up our minds to belong to Gong Qiyi, we can't let him recall the previous events. He can't let the people of the Gong family find him and transfer Li Xun to another city, the farther away the better. ”
"Yes!"
The major saluted and should have arrived.
"Gong Qi, oh, no, it's Gu Zixi, how is he now?" The colonel turned and looked at the major with a calculating look in his eyes.
"There's nothing wrong with my body, except that I don't remember what happened before and I'm silent." The major replied earnestly.
"Very good, I believe that soon, he will be able to participate in training, and when he recovers, he will play for us." The Colonel nodded in satisfaction.
The Major nodded as well. With Gong Qiyi, a capable person, their team can make a lot of contributions.
"The palace family's ......," the colonel thought as he paced.
The Gong family is not easy to mess with, they will not give up for a day if they can't find Gong Qi. If the deeds of the private collection of Gong Qi are revealed, with the power of the Gong family, they will definitely not give up.
"You go get some ashes and send them to the Gong family." After thinking for a moment, the colonel said to the major.
The so-called life to see people, death to see corpses, they said that Gong Qi was dead, then the Gong family would give up.
The major was stunned, but he should also be down, the duty of a soldier is to obey orders.
"Let's go down and do it." The colonel raised his hand to let him down, and he paced to the window again, looking at the blue sky and white clouds outside, fantasizing about his feats, and then he could soar up.
The execution of the army was fast, and the next day, the major went to the palace house with a small group of people, holding an urn.
Ye Ningbai drove from the company to her home, her heart was full of joy, and she didn't know if it would be good news or bad news that she would hear later. The people of the Gong family gathered in the hall one after another, and the old man of the Gong family saw Ye Ningbai push open the door, nodded at the major, and signaled that he could speak.
Ye Ningbai looked at the things in the major's hand, and a sense of uneasiness welled up in his heart. No, it won't be his.
After the major saluted the old man of the palace family, and then saluted the people who were higher than you, he respectfully presented the urn with both hands, and said: "Everyone, please mourn, General Gong Qi has been martyred. ”
When everyone saw what he was holding, they had already guessed the result, but now that he said it directly, it was still unbearable.
The old man of the palace family wilted in an instant, why is this world so cruel, let him send a white-haired person to a black-haired person. Many of the young ladies wept quietly. Ye Ningbai's mind was blank, no, she didn't believe it! She walked briskly towards the Major, facing the Major, and asked again: "What did you just say?" ”
"Mrs. Gong, the palace general has sacrificed his life for the country, this is his ashes." The major said without changing his face, and handed the urn in his hand to Ye Ningbai.
Ye Ningbai refused to take it, she shook her head, walked away from the urn step by step, and said tremblingly: "No, no, Qi Yu won't die like this, he is so strong!" ”
Gong Ruixuan came over and hugged Ye Ningbai's legs, he didn't seem to know what martyrdom meant, but he vaguely felt that his father would not come back. "Mom." Gong Ruixuan screamed quietly.
"Xuan Xuan." Ye Ningbai squatted down and hugged Gong Ruixuan, her eyes red. No, Gong Qiyan will not leave their mother and son alone, she will never believe that Gong Qiyan is dead, because she can feel it, yes, a woman's sixth sense makes her sure that Gong Qiyao is still alive!
"If he's dead, why don't you let us see him one last time?! It's you! You don't want to search and rescue Qi Yao anymore, so you deliberately use this reason to prevaricate our palace family! Ye Ningbai stood up, pointed at the major and said indignantly: "Born and died for the army, now life and death are unknown, but you have to give up on him!" ”
"Ningbai." Gong Qi's father spoke out to stop her nonsense, even if she really had any doubts, she couldn't talk to the people in the army so rudely.
When the major heard Ye Ningbai say this, his heart was a little upset, but his face was still silent.
Ye Ningbai was interrupted by her father-in-law, and she didn't say anything more, staring at the people in the army.
Although Gong Qi's father interrupted Ye Ningbai's words, he also felt that she was very reasonable, even if Gong Qiyan really sacrificed his life for the country, there was no reason not to let them be cremated when they saw him for the last time.
"Ning Bai is a little rushed to speak, please Haihan." Gong Qi's father said in an official tone: "But what she said is not reasonable, why don't you let us see Qi Qi for the last time?" Even if it is cremated, it should be cremated after our palace family has held a funeral. ”
The old man of the palace family was overly sad and was about to lose his breath, but when he heard his son say this, he also felt that there was something strange in it, and he couldn't help but get angry, knocked on his crutches, panted and said angrily: "Is it just as Ning Bai said, you are going to give up searching and rescuing Qi Yao, so tell us that he is dead!" So that we can all die and continue to find his heart! ”
If this is the case, then it is too chilling, their palace family has served the country for generations and has made many great achievements, is this how they fell into the ground?
At this time, the Gong family all woke up from their grief, turned to grief and indignation, and glared at the major one after another, threatening that he would not want to leave the Gong family until he gave a satisfactory answer.
The major couldn't help but be a little frightened when he saw that the palace family was surrounded by a group of people, but he had also seen the wind and waves to get into the position of a major.
He pretended to sigh, lowered his head, and said regretfully: "Because it is related to military secrets, the superiors must be cremated first." ”
"Bullshit secrets, Qi Yu, what military secrets can be leaked!" The old housekeeper who had been in the palace family for many years couldn't help but ask, after all, he grew up watching Gong Qi since he was a child, and no one knew his ability? How could he have made the decision to die in the line of duty without knowing it.
"If it's a military secret, then I can't tell you. Everyone's condolences are smooth, let the palace generals rest in peace as soon as possible. The major didn't want to stay for a long time, and after speaking, he handed the urn to Ye Ningbai, who was closest to him.
Ye Ningbai turned his face to the side, didn't look at the urn, and didn't take it.
The servant on the side saw that the major was a little embarrassed, so he stepped forward to take the urn. These are all their guesses, but in case, this is really Gong Shao's ashes, and it's not good if there is something good about this box.
That group of soldiers left the palace house.
There was a mournful atmosphere in the hall of the palace family. The old man Gong was not in good health, but now he has suffered this bad news, and he is already in a state of grogginess, and he has been helped down to rest. Everyone looked at the palace master in the center of the hall to see what he was planning.
"Sir." Gong Qi's mother looked at her husband and then at the urn in her hand.
"We can't be sure if Qi Yao is really dead, since the army says so, then there is their basis, we are ready to prepare and hold a funeral for Qi Qing." Gong Qi's father lowered his head and said in a deep voice.
His eyes were red, and this once iron-blooded army legend actually shed tears.
As soon as Gong Ruixuan heard about the funeral, he instantly understood that his father really couldn't come back, hugged Ye Ningbai's legs, and whimpered. His classmates laughed at him for not having a father, and he used to be able to loudly refute it, and his father would come back.
Because he always believed that his father was still alive, and now, he really didn't have a father.
"Xuanxuan doesn't cry, your father is not dead, he is still alive." Ye Ningbai hugged Gong Ruixuan distressedly, he was still so young, how could Qi Xuan be willing to leave him.
So Ye Ningbai said to the palace father: "Dad, I don't think Qi Yu is dead, we can't hold a funeral." The people of the army don't look for it, we look for it ourselves! "She doesn't give up.
Gong Qi's father looked at Ye Ningbai, didn't speak, patted her on the shoulder, turned around and went upstairs.
"Madam, let the mourning be smooth."
The cook couldn't help wiping her tears and said to Ye Ningbai. They are not people in the army, they don't know the secrets of the army, perhaps, Gong Qiyu is really for some special reason, the army can't give them the last time to see him.
Everyone comforted each other for a while, and then they were called by the head of the palace family to discuss the funeral of Gong Qixuan, leaving Ye Ningbai alone in the hall with Gong Ruixuan in his arms.
Gong Qiyi's funeral was quickly prepared, and everyone who should have come came, most of them were from the army
。 Ye Ningbai was dressed in a black dress, standing in front, no tears, no sadness, only resentment.
"One bow, two bows, and the family responds." The master of ceremonies shouted one by one, and different people came to pay their respects and comfort Gong Qi's family. Ye Ningbai didn't say anything, whether she knew them or not, she didn't talk to them.
She did not admit that it was Gong Qi's funeral.
The farewell ceremony lasted until the afternoon, and the calculated time was also when the ashes of Gong Qiyu were about to be buried. This is a cemetery facing the sea and backed by green mountains, which is a treasure of feng shui, and of course those who can be buried here are not rich and expensive.
Gong Ruixuan walked in front of him holding Gong Qixuan's urn and headed to the cemetery, and Gong Qixuan's relatives followed one after another.
Seeing that Ye Ningbai didn't follow, the cook went over and whispered to her: "Ningbai, go and send the young master on his last journey." Ye Ningbai, who had been silent for a day, finally came back to life, she rushed to the front of the team, took the urn, and came to the edge of the cliff.
Everyone was stunned when they saw this, what was Ye Ningbai going to do?
"This is not Qi Yao's ashes." Ye Ningbai looked at the people in the army and said, then opened the urn.
"Ningbai! Don't do stupid things! Gong Qi's family was nervous, and their hearts were about to jump out.
"You are all fallen stones, ungrateful villains! Gong Qi has done so much for you, and now that he has an accident, you have given up on him so easily! Don't go to him anymore! casually said that he was dead, and I don't know where to find an urn, so he came to prevaricate us! ”
Ye Ningbai said fiercely to the people in the army: "Okay, if you don't go to find Gong Qiqing, then I'll go find it!"
After speaking, Ye Ningbai ignored the persuasion of everyone in the palace family, and insisted on sprinkling the ashes into the sea, Gong Qi, you must wait for me, wait for me to find you.
Ye Ningbai's tears that had not been shed in the past few days finally fell.
