Xin'an City, the temple of worship.

Dong A's death was a sacrifice for the country.

He died in battle in the position of deputy prime minister and deserved honor.

So his coffin is now resting on the shrine.

After the dust of the national war settled, Zhuang Gaoxian and Du Ruhui returned to Xin'an City as soon as possible, and they couldn't even wait to settle the army first, leaving only the seriously injured Huangfu Duanming to deal with it alone.

Duan Li can die, He Badao can die, as long as the death is worthwhile.

But Dong A's death is something that shakes the country.

It is easy to get talent, but it is difficult to find talent.

As far as the previous one was concerned, Dong A's death directly shook the entire battlefield, forcing Zhuang Gaoxian to launch a decisive battle in advance.

In hindsight, Dong A's death caused a talent vacancy after Du Ruhui, and also made Du Ruhui unable to focus on cultivation and impact the truth.

Because except for Dong A, no one has enough ability and prestige to take over the phase.

Now Dong Ana's dismembered body is lying in the coffin.

The parts of the body, simply put together.

His eyes were open, and his expression before death turned out to be smiling.

Dong A hasn't smiled for many years, whether it's a promotion or a cultivation for advancement, he always has a serious face and a straight look. For so many years, there was not even a polite smile. So much so that Du Ruhui even forgot that he could laugh too.

And he laughed so wildly, so unusually.

This guy who has been with him for so many years.

Unconsciously, he has grown from a young man with a board and a glance to a serious and upright middle-aged.

From a small catcher who ran into walls everywhere and broke his head and bled out, he has grown into an extremely reliable deputy minister of the country who is not angry and arrogant.

Then he died, and became a corpse that is now in tatters.

Du Ruhui lowered his head and looked at Dong A's open eyes, as if he wanted to see the appearance of the murderer from those eyes.

It was, of course, in vain.

Those eyes once firmly engraved the appearance of the murderer, right?

It's just that it's long gone.

Even if he Du Ruhui had extraordinary combat power and was a first-class divine powerhouse, he couldn't find the answer in these eyes.

Zhuang Guo won the battle of Zhuang Yongguo, but the vice minister of a country died, and the murderer still does not know who it is. Whether it is Yong, Luo, Mo, or Cheng, there is no trace of a shot.

The first to investigate the cause of death was Lin Zhengren, one of the six heroes of the National Academy, but he did not find any useful clues.

The corpse will never speak again, will never stand up against him again.

It sounds like a good thing, but it's not that good.

Du Ruhui watched quietly, silent for a long time.

Zhuang Gaoxian stood next to him, looking at his expression, feeling that his prime minister was really a little old.

"What kind of jade is this?" Zhuang Gaoxian asked.

He stretched out his hand and picked up a piece of cyan jade from Dong A's corpse, right in the middle of his heart.

Dong A's relics are still well preserved, and even the most precious two realms have not been lost. This piece of jade is one of the relics. It is said that when the body was found, this piece of jade was placed like this, and no one moved it.

Du Ruhui glanced at it, thought about it carefully, and said, "If I'm not mistaken, it should be Dong A's friend, Zhang Xinliang's widow." ”

"Zhang Xinliang?" Zhuang Gaoxian was obviously very unfamiliar with this name.

Du Ruhui sighed: "Your Majesty, you shouldn't forget him. At the Jiuxiao Altar Meeting in Yujing Mountain, he died of exhaustion in order to compete for resources for the Zhuang Guo Dao Academy. ”

"It turned out to be the hero of my Zhuang country. Zhuang Gaoxian said solemnly: "Loneliness should not be forgotten. ”

Du Ruhui didn't take this opportunity to say anything, but just reached out and took this piece of cyan jade, and was about to put it back in Dong A's heart.

But when Yujue's warm touch was transmitted to his fingers, he suddenly frowned: "I remember Dong A, it seems that I haven't worn this piece of jade for a long time." ”

"You mean......" Zhuang Gaoxian also turned around: "This piece of jade may have been left by the murderer?"

"I suddenly remembered that Dong Ah had told me something. Du Ruyan rubbed the cyan jade in his hand and said suddenly.

Zhuang Gaoxian looked at him with an inquiring look.

"Liu Yi'an, the old city lord of Maple Grove City, asked for an explanation for the fall of Maple Grove City before, saying that he would kneel and die in front of the worship hall. ”

Du Ruhui stretched out his hand and pointed to the outside of the hall: "It's probably in that position." ”

"What happened later?" Although it was a question, Zhuang Gaoxian's voice did not fluctuate.

In order to avoid influence, Dong A killed him and publicized his death. ”

"Dong Ah did the right thing. Zhuang Gaoxian said in a tone overlooking all living beings from the top of the clouds: "But Liu Yi'an's family should also be beneficial, and his children and descendants can be sent to the Taoist Academy for cultivation as appropriate." ”

"Liu Yi'an has no heirs, because of the decline of cultivation, when he retired from the position of city lord, he didn't ask for anything......" Du Ruhui had no expression on his face, shook his head and said: "Dong A told me about this, not to ask for credit, but to ask for guilt." He said that he should not kill the heroes in vain, and asked me to remove him from his post. ”

After ascending to Dongzhen, Zhuang Gaoxian has also been consolidating his cultivation and exploring a new world in cultivation. The affairs of the country are still handled by Du Ruhui. So he didn't know about Liu Yi'an.

It wasn't until this moment that his expression finally became a little serious: "Master Du, that's our joint decision." ”

"Nope. Du Ruhui continued to shake his head: "Your Majesty, you are the Holy Monarch, and you can't have half a stain." That's my decision. I just ......"

He finally just sighed: "Dong Ah seemed to want to say something to me at that time, but he didn't say it. ”

The expression on his face finally glooze.

It's like surviving a long winter, but waiting for late autumn.

"Dong was buried with a state ceremony. Zhuang Gao said envially.

Treating the funeral with national rites is already extremely glorious.

Du Ruhui held the cyan jade jue in his hand tightly and was silent for a while before he said, "I think I know why Zhu Wei suddenly knew the truth about Fenglin City and chose to commit treason." ”

Zhuang Gaoxian's eyes were very deep: "He knows the murderer?"

This piece of jade, which originally belonged to Zhang Xinliang and was later worn by Dong A, is not very likely to appear with the murderer.

Dong A has always been upright, and he is not close to women, and he is not married, so there can be no problems such as illegitimate children.

When it comes to Zhu Wei's sudden treason, the scope is already very small.

Maple Grove City, or Maple Grove City Dao Courtyard, someone survived......

"This man must die. ”

Du Ruhui held the jade jue and said very seriously: "No matter who he is." ”

"Naturally. Zhuang Gaoxian said: "Zhuang Guo's deputy prime minister can't die in vain." ”

Du Ruhui took Yu Jue's hand, clenched it into a fist, and was silent for a while.

Then he bowed to Zhuang Gaoxian, turned around and walked away!
