Chapter 28: Buried at midnight

Zhong Bayin's expression was a little dignified, which made Liang Xie also a little surprised, as the teacher of Jing Xihuang, the undisputed first master of Ouchi, it was really unexpected to see four masters who might be the 'Dragon Guard' have such expressions, but thinking that Jing Xihuang was the strongest person in the 'Eight Desolation Valley' in the past two hundred years, his heart was suddenly relieved, "Although he is Jing Xihuang's master, his kung fu is far inferior to Jing Xihuang after all." ”

"The sixth, fifth, eighth, tenth, the ten masters of the 'Dragon Guard' have come to four. Tan Xingcheng said in a low voice. Liang Xie felt a sudden burst in his heart, although he had guessed that these four people were among the top ten masters in Da Nei, but when he heard Tan Xingcheng say it, he was still a little confused and hairy. Everyone knows that Jing Xihuang is not friends or parties, only the top ten masters are better with Lao Jiu, and the remaining eight people are all bought by Wu Jingguo, although Jing Xihuang is among the top ten masters in the inner country with them, but they have never been in harmony, let alone friendship, at this time, four of the top ten masters came together, and they had bad intentions. When everyone thinks of this, they will inevitably feel worried. This is the four people who are not brilliant in the 'Dragon Guard', if it is the second golden milling with profound skills, the third Zhuang who has the best swordsmanship in the world, and the fourth old man who is invincible and unpredictable in the way of death and impermanence, then pay it back?

These four people came very quickly, Tan Xingcheng only said one word, and the four of them arrived in front of the spirit. The swordsman on the right took the lead in standing up, squinting his eyes and sweeping over everyone's faces one by one, everywhere he looked, everyone only felt the cool air rising from their backs, extremely uncomfortable, and no one among the dozens of people dared to look directly at him. He sneered, held his head high and entered the spirit shed, and with a single bow, he withdrew. It seems that he has the most respected status among the four, and he should be the fifth master in Ouchi, that is, Zhao Ji, who killed the first person of the Eight Sects, Gan Delin, is really arrogant and domineering, and he is not a likable character.

Then there was the man with the spear on his back, then another swordsman, and finally the man with a long whip around his waist, although these three people had a much better attitude than Zhao Jin, but they did not kowtow after all. The four of them exited the spirit shed but did not leave, standing on the side and watching the crowd.

Although there is no empirical evidence of Jing Xihuang's death, the people of the capital know it and guess that it was Wu Jingguo. Because apart from him, no one can afford to invite the 'Immortal Evil Venerable'. At this time, the 'Golden Guard', the 'Inner Governor's Mansion', and the Ouchi masters came one after another, and if they either sincerely condoled, or the 'Rootless Party' wanted to take this opportunity to wipe out the opposition forces, it was obvious that the possibility of the former was very small. Many people can't help but regret in their hearts, regretting that they shouldn't join in this fun, they haven't even seen Jing Xihuang in person, but they want to put gold on their faces, set this friendship, this mourning, but they have lost their lives. Even Liang Xie was not without remorse, and secretly scolded himself for dying in his heart.

At this moment, everyone only hopes that these people are really mournful, or that there will be more powerful characters in the rivers and lakes, even if they really want to do it, they will always hope to be greater.

"Huh? That's ...... Shopkeeper Luo and Shopkeeper Moer?" someone said suddenly. The tone was extremely excited. Everyone looked at each other, but saw that the two of them were talking and laughing, walking together, one was dressed in a blue shirt, skinny, and the other was dressed in black, with a righteous face, but who were not the two shopkeepers of the 'Qinlong Building'?

When the two shopkeepers of 'Qinlong Tower' came, everyone's faces were slightly gentle. Not to mention anything else, just the martial arts revealed by Mo Youfan yesterday can no longer be described by the word master. But four of the nine of the top ten masters in the Ouchi came, and including Zhao Yi, who killed Gan Banbu, although Mo Youfan was strong, it was difficult to be sure of winning alone, not to mention that there were still three masters like the other party, so everyone's faces were only slightly gentle, and they couldn't be completely careless.

Seeing that the two were getting closer, Zhong Bayin greeted him and asked, "The two of you are also Hui'er's friends?" The shopkeeper Luo said: "Under the Dragon God Throne, Luo Benchu has seen Senior Zhong. He pointed to Mo Youfan and then said: "This is the 'Heavenly Ghost' Mo Youfan" This Luo shopkeeper is not very old, only thirty-five or six years old, and he treats people with humility and courtesy, without half of his arrogance.

Zhong Bayin was overjoyed, and hurriedly thanked him, Luo Mo and the two regarded themselves as juniors, and they didn't even dare to say it, and Luo Mo and the two of them had already knelt down in front of the spirit, and kowtowed one after another.

"Hello Mo shopkeeper!" Zhao Yi greeted Mo Youfan without waiting for him to stand up completely. This seems to be a good word, but it is ill-intentioned, Mo Youfan is getting up, naturally lower than Zhao Youfan, if he replies at this time, it will seem that Zhao Yu is superior to Mo Youfan.

Mo Youfan slowly stood up, turned around and clenched his fists, and said to the three people who held the gun, the one with the sword and the one with the whip beside Zhao Yi: "Lord Xiang (sixth), Lord Chu (eighth), and Lord Quan (tenth), the three of them haven't seen each other for a few days, how are you doing lately?" The other two nodded and smiled as well. Mo Youfan smiled slightly, glanced at Zhao Yi, turned back to the gunman surnamed Xiang and asked, "This is Zhao ...... Zhao ......?" thought for a long time, but finally didn't think of Zhao anything. The gunman with the surname knew that he was deliberate, so he smiled at the moment and did not answer. He knew very well that Zhao Ji's personality was contrary to his martial arts, and if he was recommended by many things, it would seem that Zhao Ji's reputation was not obvious, and he would not have to offend him.

"Hmph!" Zhao Yi snorted coldly, and said unhappily: "I heard that the shopkeeper Mo saved a thief who assassinated the governor yesterday, and he was forced to cut off the fingers of his subordinates for this guy, which is really domineering!" He didn't wait for Mo Youfan to answer, so he asked again: "I don't know if this matter is true, or is there another way for the Mo shopkeeper to deny it?" He repeated the words 'domineering' and 'denial', as if Mo Youfan's 'domineering' should be 'denied' after 'domineering'.

Seeing Zhao Yi like this, Liang Xie couldn't help but feel shocked in his heart: "This matter is really not so simple, it seems that I have been reckless for a while, and I have affected the ink shopkeeper for a while." "Take a step forward, and confess that you have committed the assassination. Mo Youfan's fingers shook slightly behind his back, whether intentionally or unintentionally, Liang Xie knew that Mo Er's shopkeeper had recognized him, and hurriedly stopped.

"If that splashy Zhang San came to my 'Qinlong Tower' yesterday to find Brother Zhao's bad luck, Mo Youfan would definitely protect Brother Zhao. The implication is naturally that Zhao Jian can't even beat Zhang San.

Zhao Yi glared at Mo Youfan fiercely, and sneered: "Hehe, when does the Mo shopkeeper have time to dial in the next few moves? As he spoke, his hand was already on the hilt of the sword, and Liang Xie saw that Zhao Ji's hand was big and long, with prominent knuckles, and the green tendons on the back of his hand were exposed, and a striking scar was like a worm, which added a bit of horizontal strength to him, which was a little more appropriate to his tone and character. As soon as this statement came out, everyone was shocked, and this was already a war letter. The swordsman surnamed Chu pulled Zhao Yi and said: "The Mo family's concept has always been like this, this Mo Youfan has been domineering for more than ten years, even the governor and the dragon god are completely up to him, you don't know, why do you want to find him unlucky?" Zhao Yi snorted and ignored him. The one surnamed Quan also said: "Bear with it first, there is a chance to do it seriously." ”

Mo Youfan had already guessed a few points when he saw the three of them making a slight move, and smiled slightly, just about to answer, Shopkeeper Luo was afraid that Mo Youfan would answer Zhao Yi, and said first: "What did Lord Zhao say? Lord Zhao has excellent swordsmanship and is the best master of Beijing, who doesn't know?"

Shopkeeper Luo observed his words and looks, and continued: "Today is the day when Lord Jing enters the ground, so don't joke about it......"

While he was talking, suddenly a man rushed to him, and before he reached the spirit, he burst into tears. Zhong Bayin hurriedly greeted him, the man immediately fell to the ground with a soft foot, and cried: "Big brother ......" only said three words and couldn't cry, he crawled to the spirit shed while crying, and from time to time grabbed the ground with his head, and the pestle between his mouth and nose was full of mud, obviously in great grief.

Liang Xie helped Zhong Bayin to help him up, but the man didn't pay attention to it, crying and crawling into the spirit shed, lying on the coffin and crying vigorously, as if he was paralyzed on the coffin, he was not afraid of the person in the coffin who already had some taste. Jing Xihuang's wife was attracted by him, and she couldn't stop sobbing.

Liang Xie said in his heart: "That's it, it is rumored that Jing Xihuang has always been indifferent to making friends, I can't imagine that there is such a brother, and he should live in vain if he has knowledge." ”

When the man cried a stick of incense, Zhong Bayin and Liang Xie finally helped him up. Zhong Bayin comforted: "People can't be resurrected after death, and Hui'er is not in vain to have a friend like you." It was originally a comforting word, but his voice was already a little choked as he spoke.

The man sighed, "Alas, I have only been away for half a month, and I have never thought about it...... I never thought that it would be bad news for my eldest brother when I returned to the capital......" He stopped crying, still sobbing a little. "If I am here, I will fight hard to get my eldest brother safe. He clenched his fists and gurgled his fists, gritted his teeth and said, "Big brother, I, Tang Xian, swear in front of your spirit that if I can't avenge you within a year, I will die by the knife." So saying, he knelt down and kowtowed three times. Zhong Bayin saw that he was excited and relieved, and said that revenge needs to be done together, and must not act recklessly.

Everyone thought that this person was just a good friend of Jing Xihuang, but when they knew that the surname of the applicant was Tang Xian, who was ranked ninth among the top ten masters in the interior, they couldn't help but be surprised and delighted. It is rumored from the outside world that this Tang Xian is the inner guard recommended by Jing Xihuang, who is pure and self-loving, and refuses to attach himself to the 'rootless party', and is also the only one among the top ten masters in the inner world who is better with Jing Xihuang. Everyone knew that Tang Xian and Jing Xihuang had a great relationship, but they never thought that the relationship between the two was so good, and they couldn't help but nod secretly and rejoice. Liang Xie is also a great joy, Mo Youfan, Zhong Bayin, Tang Xian, Luo Shopkeeper, plus himself and other martial arts colleagues who came to mourn together, should be able to fight with the Governor's Mansion and the 'Golden Guard'. Liang Xie secretly looked through the light, and saw that Tan Xingye and everyone had joy on their faces, and they seemed to have the same thoughts as him, but the expressions of Zhao Ji and his party did not change, and they couldn't tell whether they were happy or worried.

Tang Xian got up and greeted Zhong Bayin, comforted each other a few words, and asked about Jing Xihuang's murder. Suddenly: "Senior Zhong, sister-in-law, with the eldest brother's martial arts, I dare not say that I am invincible in the world, but even if I am invincible against others, I will be able to protect myself, but now I have ended up like this, I am afraid that there is something strange in this." ”

Zhong Bayin groaned slightly and said, "You mean ......?"

Tang Xian nodded and said, "I want to see the eldest brother, maybe I can find something." Zhong Bayin's brows furrowed slightly, and before he could answer, Zhao Yi snorted coldly and said, "Why did you go earlier?

"You have to give it a try. Once an official, he has no personal friendship and friendship with colleagues, and he doesn't want someone to die in vain. Tang Xian said.

"The deceased is gone, what is the difference between dying in vain or dying well? Could it be that adults can come back to life without dying in vain?" Zhao Yi said, Liang Xie listened to Zhao Xian's words for fear that Tang Xian would open the coffin, and Tang Xian insisted on opening the coffin for an autopsy, it stands to reason that Jing Xihuang's murder could not be Zhao Xian's hand anyway, so there is no need for him to stop it like this.

Zhong Bayin said: "Lord Tang and Hui'er are close friends, and they should have seen him, but our faction rules and regulations are not allowed to harass the souls of the dead before the revenge is avenged, and the murderer has already guessed seven or eight points, just open the coffin, not to mention that Yu Xia and Yu Zuo have already examined the body, and if there are any details, you will know if you ask Yu Xia tomorrow." "What Liang Xie didn't expect was that Zhong Bayin did not agree with the autopsy, it is no wonder that the customs of the 'Eight Desolate Valley' are very abnormal, Yu Xia Hunt was famous when he was in the 'Wind Mouth' when he was quick to catch, and he was one of the few reliable fast catchers, and he was naturally not easily bought when he was transferred to the capital, Zhong Bayin said that Tang Xian had no reason to open the coffin.

Zhao Wei blocked the opening of the coffin because he was afraid that Tang Xian would find out the clues, which would be unfavorable to the 'rootless party', which was expected by everyone, but the master, mother, and wife did not agree with Tang Xian's autopsy, and Tang Xian was not good at insisting.

Tang Xian groaned slightly, and said, "Well, since Yu Xia has been arrested and tested tomorrow, there is no need for me as a layman to do more." He paused and asked, "Is the old lady okay?"

"It's okay, but I can't stop crying, I don't dare to let her see these scenes......" Jing Xihuang's wife had just helped the old lady back to the house, she thought she could bear it, but she didn't expect to cry again before she finished a sentence. Tang Xian was probably afraid of making his sister-in-law sad, so he diverted the topic.

As soon as he spoke, according to the customs of the Eight Desolation Valley, Zhong Bayin walked in the head, and Liang Xie had pretended to be Jing Xihuang's family before, but at this moment he had to pretend that his family followed behind the coffin. The four disciples of the 'Eight Desolation Valley' followed behind, scattering paper money, and the coffin was supposed to be carried by the disciples of the Eight Desolation Valley, but Tang Xian insisted many times that he must personally carry the coffin for his brother, so he replaced one disciple and carried it with the other three Eight Desolation Valley disciples to follow closely behind. It stands to reason that although a master such as Jing Xihuang is not an official official of the imperial court, he is also a royal servant, and he is the emperor's private soldier, and the funeral should be infinitely beautiful, but this funeral is extremely simple, not only is there no monk chanting, gongs and drums and ceremonial guards, and even the coffin bar is only carried by four people, but these are much more normal than the creepy customs of the funeral when the child is born. Xu is accident is a little hasty, the workmanship of the coffin is not very particular, the paint is too late to brush, it is still a white stubble coffin, the bottom of the coffin actually cracked a crack, although it is not too obvious, but Liang Xie is from the dark luck skills are far brighter than usual, even in the dark night, under the bumps of the coffin, this gap can still be seen. Liang Xie remembered that he didn't have this gap when he worshiped before, and only after walking a few steps did he crack a crack, he sighed in his heart and couldn't help but sigh a little, Jing Xihuang was already a god-like figure in the eyes of their martial arts practitioners, and now that people are going to rest on everything, not only is the murderer nowhere to be found, but even a good coffin has not been left behind.

In the middle of the night, a group of people carried the coffin slowly, everyone was in the martial arts, most of them were bold people, and they didn't care about etiquette, but this midnight funeral is indeed rare, and the friendship is not deep, and they are naturally unwilling to touch this moldy head, and most of them stopped after a few steps.

I don't know if the arrival of Luo Mo and Tang Xian made Zhao Ji and the others scruple and didn't dare to do it easily, or Liang Xie was too careful. Maybe these people didn't plan to do it just to confirm the authenticity of Jing Xihuang's life and death, otherwise they would be impermanent, Zhuang Zejing, and Jin Milling would not be missing, and in the end, Zhao Yi and the others watched the coffin sink into the ground, and then turned around and left. The people of the Inner Governor's Mansion and the 'Golden Guard' did not appear, which was greatly unexpected by everyone, and everyone secretly called luck at the moment when they were slightly relaxed, the four masters of the 'Inner Governor's Mansion' did not come, and the Great Inner 'Dragon Guard' only came to the fifth child, the fourth was impermanent, and the third Zhuang respected these people and did not show up, the 'Golden Guard' was a hundred miles without a trace, and the masters such as Zhengqi Shuangwei did not arrive, if these people came one or two casually, even if Mo Youfan was afraid it would be difficult to be good.

After all, with Jing Xihuang's identity, even if he doesn't have the slightest friendship with the people of the palace guard, it is likely that many people will come to mourn just because of his face, even if the governor Wu Jingguo is in person, it is normal. Fortunately, nothing is better than something, and everyone is 'embarrassed' to catch up and ask the reason, in the final analysis, it is still a matter of strength, and when the city gate is opened, everyone is worried and returns to the gate.

"I'm afraid that in the future, the 'rootless party' will be defeated individually!" Liang Xie thought to himself.
