Chapter 186 Grand Funeral

The guards outside Changming Zhuque Gate had never seen the scene like today.

Now is the time for the emperor and officials to have a court meeting. Logically speaking, they should clear the nearby streets to facilitate the passage of the emperor's dragon chariot.

But obviously today's situation is somewhat beyond their control.

Their left hand side was crowded with people kneeling in dense numbers, mostly old, young, women and children.

They were all wearing mourning clothes, their faces were sad, and there was a faint sound of suppressed crying.

On the right side are groups of black cavalry. Because they are in the city, the heavy armored soldiers are holding the horses, with the other hand on the hilt of the sword at their waist, full of murderous intent.

This is Chang Yuan Tieyi, a large peripheral army that has been fighting foreign races all year round. It is far beyond the power of the prison guard who is the pampered pro-army Sixteen Guards.

"Gudong."

A prison guard held a halberd and swallowed hard.

"My lord, what should we do now?"

His calves were trembling a little, and he could hardly hold the Changge in his hand.

He was originally the son of a wealthy family in the city. He came to serve as a janitor just for a symbolic job. He would go back to inherit the family business in two years.

How could he have expected that just when he was occasionally on duty, such an unheard-of thing would happen.

"Don't panic. I have sent people to the major camps in the south and north of the city as well as the Xuan Zhongwei General Office to seek rescue. I believe reinforcements will arrive soon."

"As long as we hold on for a while longer, this group of rebellious ministers and rebellious parties will surely collapse."

The leading prison guard general pretended to be calm and said.

"But sir... they don't seem to be rebellious and rebellious, right?"

Another man holding a halberd beside the prison guard general said with a wry smile.

"This group of cavalry is under the command of Chang Yuan Tieyi, Tao Shizhong. If Tao Shizhong is a rebel, then who are we?"

"As for the other side... they are all Changming people. They are unarmed, how can they rebel?"

He didn't even know if it was right or wrong for them to block the door and stop them now.

Could Shizhong Tao be wrong?Could this overwhelming public opinion be wrong?

Why are they wielding the weapons in their hands?
The prison guard general's face was ashen, and he held the gilded knife handle tightly in his hand.

Doesn't he know that what his subordinates said is true, but what can he do?

"Master Wu, Master Wu!"

The messenger pushed aside the layers of soldiers, rushed to him from the foot of the city wall, and knelt down on one knee.

"How is it? Where are the reinforcements?"

General Wu asked anxiously as if grasping a life-saving straw.

Now he only has a hundred or so people in his hands, and he can't control the current situation at all.

They had no choice but to seek help from other armies belonging to the same Forbidden Army system.

"Sir, Xuan Zhongwei directly rejected our request."

The messenger smiled bitterly.

"They even absented themselves from work today. There is no one in the Xuan Zhongwei General Office."

"Damn the Lanling Xiao family!"

General Wu punched the pillar next to him hard.

"After I came out of Xuanzhong Guard, I went to the left and right Jinwu Guard camp. But..."

The messenger gasped for air, sweat rolling down the sides of his face.

"But the Jinwu Guards on the left and right also refused to send troops."

"what?"

General Wu was shocked and angry.

If Xuan Zhongwei's rejection was within his expectation, then Zuo Jinwuwei's rejection was something he never expected.

"What are Gao Jing and Feng Xi doing? Do they not want their official positions?"

As soon as the words came out of his mouth, he instantly realized something.

The people blocking the door are Tao Gong's troops. He is Feng Xi's old boss. It is impossible for him to send troops.

As for Gao Jing, the smiling tiger probably saw that the situation was not right and tried every means to delay it.

Hateful!
He sighed, secretly regretting it.

Why did this unlucky thing happen to me that has never happened in a century?
"Where's the outside? Have you been to the Forbidden Army camp outside the city?"

He still held on to the last glimmer of hope and asked with a sense of luck.

But the messenger's next words shattered his last vestige of fantasy.

"Sir, I apologize for my incompetence."

The messenger whispered.

"The Changming City Gate has been completely blocked from the inside by the Changyuan Iron Guards. I can't get out at all."

General Wu's eyes darkened.

What should we do about this?
He glanced up.

Time passes little by little, and the sun is getting higher and higher.

There are so many people stuck here all the time that everything can no longer proceed.

If this continues, this will be the end of his role as a great general.

He paced hastily, as anxious as an ant on a hot pot.

At this moment, the Beigong Palace Gate behind the prison guard suddenly opened.

Accompanied by the heavy sound of armor clashing, a large number of the emperor's troops poured out and formed a new line of defense along the city wall.

They are the Huben, Qimen and Yulin armies stationed at Changming Beigong.

The moment General Wu saw them coming out, he regained his energy a little.

These Imperial Guards are different from parallel imports like the Prison Guards. They are all the emperor's personal soldiers, the best of the best. Although they are smaller in number than the Changyuan Iron Guards, their quality advantage is enough to erase the quantitative gap.

"All line up!"

He roared like a fox pretending to be a tiger, as if to embolden himself.

Shortly after the emperor's troops left the city, there was movement in the black wave.

……

……

"I know, I know it all."

Tao Yunjiang helped Song Qianming up and comforted him softly.

"Don't worry, I will definitely seek justice from them."

She turned back to face the sea of ​​people in front of her.

"Don't worry, everyone, the justice we have lost will eventually be returned bit by bit!"

"I...will not let their sacrifices be in vain."

When Tao Yunjiang said this, his eyes turned red.

She also did not expect that the people whom Fang Weihan had helped would come spontaneously and kneel together outside Nangong.

If he saw this scene... he would be very happy, right?
I wonder how he is doing in Tingwei Prison.

She really misses him.

After the Jinwu Guards took Fang Weihan away, Tao Yunjiang rushed to Guyuan Town, the nearest town among the nine sides, without stopping for a moment.

Because her grandfather is now in Guyuan Town.

Tao Yunjiang completed the several hundred miles in just two days, changing countless horses and drying up his blood many times.

Just to be faster, faster.

Fang Weihan is still waiting for her in Changming. She may be the only one who can save Fang Weihan.

Just as Fang Weihan and Yun Shu thought, Tao Yunjiang would never leave him alone.

This is his agreement with her.

She explained this matter to Tao Yanyan.

Tao Yan also readily agreed.

That's how the Iron Guard Cavalry from the three towns in the northwest came south.

She turned around and returned to Changyuan Tieyi's military formation.

"Jiang Jiang, are you done?"

A veteran with white hair but still energetic asked with a smile.

He is tall and broad, and the years like steel knives have carved wrinkles on his forehead, but they have not diminished his majestic power at all.

Turned to fight for three thousand miles in one body, one sword was once a millionaire division.

This is the current pillar of the imperial court of the Zhou Dynasty, the foundation of the iron robe, Tao Yan, Duke of Shanyang County.

He personally followed his granddaughter back to Changming City.

"Ah."

Tao Yunjiang's voice was a little muffled, and he was obviously not in a good mood.

"Ha." Tao Yan smiled and shook his head.

"Don't worry, grandpa is here. Fang Weihan's grievances are probably over now."

Tao Yunjiang nodded.

In her depressed mood, she didn't even notice the joking meaning in Tao Yan's tone.

Tao Yan couldn't help but feel a little distressed when he saw his granddaughter like this.

He had already listened to Tao Yunjiang and his subordinates explain the ins and outs of this matter.

At the same time, he also investigated Fang Weihan's past deeds.

One can imagine the intensity of Duke Shanyang's investigation. After a while, all of Fang Weihan's information was placed in front of him.

Tao Yan read it in detail and finally came to a conclusion.

Buildable material.

Just because Fang Weihan holds a high position and can still sympathize with the suffering of the world, he is nowhere higher than the state of most carnivores in the world.

What's more, he seems to have a profound knowledge and a generous heart, and his martial arts talent is even more impressive.

His status as a royal prince is not bad.

Tao Yan was originally worried about what kind of husband he should find for his granddaughter.

Aristocratic family, I don’t like it, and my granddaughter probably doesn’t like it either.

As a civilian, there is nothing that I can like.Not to mention Tao Yunjiang.

Tao Yan knew that his granddaughter looked cheerful and optimistic, but in fact she was prouder than anyone else.There are very few people in the world that she can look up to.

Now Fang Weihan suddenly appeared, which made Tao Yan a little overjoyed.

In terms of status, he is a vassal king of the royal family. He is not tolerated by the family, but he is not trusted by the emperor.

In terms of strength, he can be said to be both civil and military.

What's even more valuable is that his granddaughter likes him very much.

There are no other problems except that he has a lot of emotional troubles.

Tao Yan was very satisfied with Fang Weihan.

However, besides Fang Weihan's matter, there were other reasons why he led his army south this time.

The situation in the Great Zhou Dynasty has reached a critical stage. When the monarchs and ministers in the south are fighting among themselves, little do they know that the foreign races in the north have been coveting the fertile land of the Central Plains for a long time, and are just waiting for a suitable opportunity.

Tao Yan believed that as a minister of the Great Zhou Dynasty, he must give people in this country an early warning of what was going to happen next.

However, the memorials failed to work and the decrees failed to pass. The Uehara Wang family completely blocked the civil service system, the bloodline of the imperial court.

So Tao Yan decided to use another method.

Soldiers admonish.

Tao Yan has never been a scholar, he has never even read any books.His best way to solve problems is to use troops to conquer.

Although he is in Guyuan, he does not have the rank of Tieyi, so he has no right to mobilize Changyuan Tieyi.

But he is Tao Yan.

Relying on his handwriting, Tao Yan easily mobilized the cavalry from Guyuan, Huaiyuan, and Tianfang towns to go south together.

Along the way, they circled every city, passed through the pass, and rushed to the foot of Changming City at lightning speed without letting anyone receive the news in advance.

Tao Yan knew very well that soldiers were very fast and could not leave the emperor and the family much time to react, so he did not mobilize the iron infantry, but brought almost all the cavalry troops.

He brought a total of [-] light cavalry and [-] heavy cavalry.There weren't many people, but it was enough.

"The Yulin Guards are out, let's go."

Tao Yan said lightly.

Tao Yunjiang walked beside him, silently clenching his fists.

……

In an inconspicuous corner next to the Suzaku Gate, a haggard girl was looking at this scene with complicated eyes.

She saw Tao Yunjiang not sleeping for several days, running hundreds of miles, and returning to Changming with tens of thousands of cavalry.

She saw these people dressed in mourning clothes, kneeling without saying a word and crying silently outside the Suzaku Gate.

She saw it all.

They didn't know each other, but they met in the same place.

All for his justice.

Xie Lingwan closed her eyes tiredly.

You can speak with your heart, but you cannot speak with fairness.

Am I really wrong?

You were right, I was really wrong.

The girl's pale lips moved, as if she was murmuring something.

But even she couldn't hear it clearly.

"elder sister……"

A thin little hand tugged at her plain white skirt.

"Are you also here to save His Highness Prince Guangling?"

Xie Lingwan opened her dazed eyes and looked.

It was a dirty little girl, like a child from the outer city.

She opened her mouth, but said nothing.

"Mom said we can't cry. If the big shots in the palace see us, they will think we are weak and easy to bully."

The little girl said crisply.

I cried?
Xie Lingwan subconsciously touched the corners of her eyes and was surprised to find that they were a little moist.

Oh, I can cry.

She suddenly laughed.

"Your mother is right, we can't cry."

Xie Lingwan knelt down and touched her head.

If someone who knew Xie Lingwan stood aside, their jaws would probably be shocked by her current appearance.

As we all know, Xie Lingwan hates poor people and children.

And for a poor child, she had such a gentle attitude.

This is simply incredible.

"Huanhan, where have you been?"

An anxious shout rang out.

"I'm here, mother!"

The little girl jumped up and waved.

Soon after, a woman wearing coarse cloth and white clothes hurriedly approached.

"Mom, I'm talking to this beautiful sister!"

The little girl threw herself into the woman's arms and eagerly pointed at the beautiful sister she had just met.

"She is also here to save His Highness Prince Guangling."

The woman took a look at Xie Linwan and found that she was clearly wearing luxurious moiré silk and satin, and her demeanor was not that of an ordinary woman.

This must be a young lady from some family.

"Girl, excuse me."

"It's okay."

Xie Lingyuan said softly.

The woman could only pray that her daughter would not offend Xie Lingyuan, and quickly pulled her daughter away from here.

"Sister, sister!"

The little girl moved away while trying to turn around.

"There is dust on your face, remember to wipe it!"

Her little figure quickly disappeared into the crowd.

Xie Lingwan raised a finger and lightly touched her forehead.

Dots of white ash fell on her fingertips.

Like the ashes of grass and trees burned by fire after being swept by wind and frost.

The girl stood there blankly, looking lonely and lonely.

The splendid streets of Changming Street were filled with layers of white clothes, like a grand funeral.

Xie Lingwan was also wearing white clothes, but she looked so out of place.

The girl had a sore nose.

She really wanted to...want to cry.

But she can't.
