Chapter 20 Yu Yan first saw the three protectors of the Dharma and worshiped Qiao Daxia

This year's weather is different from previous years, since Qiao Yi's death and death, there has been no sunny weather here. The clouds and the wind were light all day, making people feel very dry. Yao'er and Xiaoshan have been contacted by the Qiao family branch in the capital, and they are arranging for a fast horse to rush home. Yu Yan and Yan Jianbo had also rushed back separately. After Jian Bo rushed back from Yushu Peak, he immediately followed his father to prepare for the funeral. Qiao Yi was famous in the rivers and lakes during his lifetime, and thousands of martial arts colleagues came to mourn after his death. Because it is not yet possible to start the ceremony, arranging the food and accommodation of these thousands of Jianghu people is a complicated matter. Qiao's Mansion is so big, and it can't even arrange food and accommodation for so many people. However, there are several branches in Jinan, and Qiaojia has been rooted in Jinan for nearly 15 years, and the official connections in Shandong are extremely deep, and the official forces represented by Jinan Governor Cong Depei also came forward to help Zhang Luo arrange, which jointly solved this matter. Rao is like this, and Liude has become more haggard, and he is full of energy, and he has to sit down and rest for a while from time to time. And when he rests, his eyes are glazed and he always doesn't say a word. After a long while, he sighed, got up, and went back to work.

Yu Yan went to a Taoist temple this time, and when he came back, he met with Liude and described the experience in detail. Only then did he know that he had gone to the Purple Cloud Taoist Temple. Yu Yan suspected that the Taoist priest there had something to do with the killing of Qiao Yisheng, so he went to investigate the situation. However, since meeting with Liude, Yu Yan has never appeared in front of everyone. He didn't participate in the affairs of the Qiao family before, and he didn't like to make friends with people in the rivers and lakes, so it was not surprising that he did not participate in the preparations for the funeral. Yu Yan closed the door in his suite during the day, and even the three meals were delivered to the room by the next person. At night, he was alone to keep a wake for Brother Qiao. He wanted to arrange for someone else to accompany him, but he couldn't resist him, so he had to give up.

Before "Sanqi", Yao'er and Xiaoshan rushed back from the capital. Yu Yan, who heard the news, hurriedly greeted him. I saw that Yao'er and Xiaoshan had just come down from the carriage, and their eyes were swollen into peaches with crying. Yu Yan was sad in his heart, and he didn't say anything, and accompanied the two of them to the main hall quickly. As soon as the two saw their father lying alone in the gloomy wooden coffin, sadness suddenly came back to their hearts, and tears were uncontrollable like beads with broken threads, and they threw themselves in front of their father's ice coffin with an "oops". The maid hurriedly picked up the two young ladies. Yao'er's body was weak, and she couldn't stand up for a long time, she choked up and sighed for several minutes, and the people around her pinched people and pressed her temples to wake her up. Xiao Shan came to her father's coffin with the support of the maid, holding the gloomy wooden coffin with her hand, looking at Qiao Yisheng inside, she couldn't help but reach out to touch his face, and the people around her tried their best to pull her and prevent her from leaning forward.

The funeral ceremony was arranged to officially begin on the day of Qiao Yisheng's "Sanqi".

On this day, a misty drizzle fell in the sky, which seemed to tell the earth of sorrow. The sky is full of people, and everyone walks heavily. Yu Yan cleaned up and changed his clothes early, and when he came to the front of the hall, he saw that Liude was beckoning his subordinates to build a rain shelter in the open courtyard. Yu Yan ignored them and walked quickly to Brother Qiao's coffin. After Qiao Yisheng was killed, the tailor he used before his death, "Yi Jian Mei", rushed to make a set of Qiao Daxia's favorite style of new clothes overnight and sent it over. Now Qiao Yisheng's new clothes are lying peacefully in the gloomy wooden coffin, as if he is asleep. Next to him were a long knife that would accompany him for the rest of his life and a golden dart that he had left at home for backup.

Yu Yan turned his face to Yao'er and Xiaoshan, who were in great pain, and he couldn't bear to look at them carefully, but just fixed his gaze on their handkerchiefs. The apricot-colored handkerchief was soaked with tears and turned dark brown, and these tears carried many unforgettable memories that could never be retrieved.

At this time, Cong Depei, the prefect of Jinan, heard that the two young ladies of the Qiao family were back, and he hurriedly pushed off his official duties and rushed over. Liude didn't care about taking care of the surrounding heroes, leaving Jianbo to deal with it for a while. Cong Depei is not an ordinary person, and Liude took him to visit Qiao Daxia's orphans. Cong Depei suddenly found that there was another person standing with Yao'er and Xiaoshan. He is also from a practicing family, and he instinctively feels that this person is heroic, and he seems to have a unique knowledge inside, and the Qiao family and others seem to be very familiar with him. He didn't recognize this person, so he had to ask Xiade, who told him that this was Qiao Daxia's sworn brother. Cong Depei couldn't help but take a closer look at this young man who seemed to be only half the age of Qiao Yisheng.

Yu Yan's face was like ice, he didn't say a word, most of the heroes present were unknown to him, and a few of them knew him, but he didn't know him either. Yu Yan didn't care about these people in the rivers and lakes, let alone at this time. It's just that he feels that there are a few eyes that are always on him, which makes him feel uncomfortable while being sad.

In fact, there are many people who are looking at Yu Yan, after all, this young person who seems to have a lot to do with the Qiao family has attracted attention since he appeared. But what really caused Yu Yan to feel uncomfortable was not Cong Depei's generation, but the six eyes that shot from the corner.

Zhu Que Yan, Bai Hubin and Qing Long Ya stood in the corner of the mourning hall. On this occasion, generally those who come to mourn filial piety will quit the mourning hall after worshipping, but these three people are the three protectors of Qianhe, and Liude naturally can't act according to the general rules. Vermilion Bird Yan has been in a big scene for a long time, and he doesn't care about the comings and goings, but Bai Hubin and Qinglongya are quite surprised by this thousands of people's filial piety team, they have grown up under the Thousand Crane Gate since childhood, and the rivers and lakes may be thirteen swords and forty-eight disciples for them. Now they realize that the rivers and lakes are very big.

But the rivers and lakes are very small, and this is true for people like them who stand at the top of the martial arts. Although basically no one knows the two protectors of the White Tiger and the Green Dragon, there are not a few people who know Vermilion Bird. Many people with heads and faces came to greet him. Vermilion Bird Yan always patiently introduced Bai Hubin and Qinglongya to them. These people often showed surprise and respect on their faces when they heard that Qianhe and the two Dharma Protectors were here, and then greeted Bai Hubin and Qinglongya. Bai Hubin and Qinglongya are not very good at dealing with people, Qinglongya just nodded after dealing with a few people, but Bai Hubin is still slowly learning to socialize like Vermilion Bird.
