Chapter 36: The Funeral
Chu Yanxi suddenly took out the only five taels of silver on his body, lightly placed it on the stone table, and said in a deep voice: "This is a certain bit of Chu's heart, I hope that Brother Liu and sister-in-law will accept it." ”
"This is absolutely impossible, Master Chu, please take it back. Da Zhuang was startled and immediately returned the money to Chu Yanxi.
Xiao Hui smiled and said, "Young Master Chu will put away the silver taels, you need to spend a lot of money on the road." ”
For Liu Zhuang and his wife, five taels of silver is a lot, which is Da Zhuang's fortunate income for a year, and it is the income that only exists under the best circumstances when selling firewood. Five taels of silver is enough to buy an ordinary carriage, Chu Yanxi thought to herself, after coming to visit and thank you and say goodbye, Chu Yanxi left.
In the past two days, there have been many people who have gone to the Diancang faction to participate in Xiao Jianyun's funeral, and all the major sects have sent representatives to participate, and many sects have rushed overnight because of the long distance, and the farthest is seven days, or more than a month away, such as Shaolin, Wudang faction, and Snow Mountain faction...... Therefore, they will fly pigeons in advance to send condolences and explain the late time.
On the last day of today, Xie Qinghui and ten disciples of the Diancang Sect have been guarding the mourning hall for two days and two nights, while the other disciples are entertaining those who came to attend the funeral of the head of the Diancang Sect.
Attending the funeral were wealthy businessmen in Dali City, most of these people went out of business, and the transportation of goods was protected and responsible by the Diancang faction, so they have always been friendly with the Diancang faction, as well as the ordinary people who are kind to Xiao Jianyun, and some of them expressed their condolences and left.
At noon, the two junior brothers hurriedly came to the mourning hall, and said with a panicked expression: "Senior brother, the people from the Xingyi Alliance are here!" Xie Qinghui was silent for a long time, and said lightly: "Got it." ”
The relationship between the Diancang faction and the Xingyi Alliance has deteriorated recently, Xie Qinghui killed Yuan Gai, the deputy hall master of the second hall of the Xingyi League, who had done a lot of evil, originally for Tianxingdao, but was ambushed by Hua Dengfeng and others, and seriously injured Xiao Jianyun, the head of the Diancang faction, therefore, Xiao Jianyun was assassinated, and the Diancang faction suspected that it had something to do with the Xingyi Alliance, but could not find evidence.
Ling Ao sent Dao Feiyan to attend the funeral, Ling Ao knew that if the faction reached the peak, it might increase the hatred, and the relationship between the two factions would deteriorate even more, and even be emotional, and send other disciples to seem not to pay attention to it, so he chose Dao Feiyan, Ling Ao repeatedly told Dao Feiyan not to do anything, everything is important to the overall situation, of course, Ling Ao mastered the assassination of Xiao Jianyun by Ye Chuanbei, except for Ling Ao and Ye Chuanbei, no one else knows.
Xie Qinghui walked out of the mourning hall, and the disciples of the Cang Sect reported to Xie Qinghui at two o'clock: "Senior brother, except for the Cangjiang Sect, the other six major sects may not be able to arrive within three days, but they have all received the letter from the flying pigeon, and they will come as soon as possible on the way." ”
Xie Qinghui was sad because of his sadness, and he didn't sleep for two days and two nights, his face looked extremely pale and haggard, and he said lightly: "All this came too suddenly, and I can't blame them." ”
Dao Feiyan originally wanted to worship in the Daoling Hall, but was stopped by the disciples of the Diancang faction, Dao Feiyan had to wait for Xie Qinghui in the courtyard, when she saw Xie Qinghui, Dao Feiyan was full of arrogance, but she was silent, waiting for Xie Qinghui to explain, after all, it was very faceless to be rejected in front of everyone.
Xie Qinghui walked in front of Dao Feiyan, looked at it and said softly: "Xingyi Alliance's heart is a little Cang's heart, please go back!" After speaking, he turned his back to Dao Feiyan of Xingyi Alliance and the several Xingyi Alliance disciples who followed behind. Xie Qinghui held back his emotions, hinting that he should not be impulsive, and the other disciples of the Cang Sect were even more vicious, eager to break Dao Feiyan and those Xingyi Alliance disciples into pieces, but without Xie Qinghui's order, they were all restraining themselves.
Dao Feiyan heard that Xie Qinghui did not welcome the Xingyi Alliance, arrogance turned into anger, and said coldly: "I can't imagine that the so-called famous and decent people are nothing more than that, I Xingyi Alliance came to reconcile and condolence regardless of the previous suspicions, Xie Zhangmen was so unreasonable after just three days of becoming the head, Yuan Gai was killed by you, and I have not yet pursued the Yimeng, if you really calculate it carefully, the Diancang faction still owes an explanation." ”
Before the words fell, one of the disciples of the Cang Sect had already stabbed at Dao Feiyan with their swords, and then all the disciples of the Cang Sect were ready to attack, Dao Feiyan took a few steps back to avoid the attack, and the other Xingyi Alliance disciples defended forward, and had no intention of making a move, because Ling Luo had repeatedly instructed not to do it.
"All retreat!" Xie Qinghui said angrily, and immediately all the disciples of the Diancang Sect returned to their original positions.
Xie Qinghui said coldly: "Dao Feiyan and the grievances of our two factions will be counted in the future, and today I don't want to alarm the guests attending the funeral." ”
Before the words fell, a voice came: "Who is bold enough to disturb the funeral of the head of Xiao......" Then walked into a middle-aged man, this person is eight feet long, dressed in white, his hair is combed extremely neatly, a dark face, but not without losing solemnity, his expression is calm, followed by more than a dozen people are all dressed in white, they all hold long swords, and follow behind the middle-aged man in an orderly manner.
"Cangjiang Sect ......" Diancang Sect disciple said, suddenly, everyone's eyes shifted to these people, Xie Qinghui turned forward to greet him, Dao Feiyan's expression was calm, because Ling Ao had already told Dao Feiyan that among the seven major sects, the Cangjiang Sect was the closest to the Diancang Sect and might be the first to appear, so Dao Feiyan was not surprised.
