Jiapingguan Chronicle

Chapter 427 Weird

The funeral of the first Liao king was held as scheduled, and the envoys from various countries gathered at the gate of the palace according to the previously announced time, and the ceremony officer was responsible for leading them into the palace.

The mourning hall is located in the west hall of the palace. The coffin of the first Liao king has always stood here. Because it is winter and the weather is very cold, the changes in the corpse are not particularly obvious. At least in the eyes of most people, lying in the coffin This one is the same as when he was alive.

The west hall has been re-wrapped, and it is dazzling white from the inside to the outside. In the middle of the hall, there are the coffins and coffins of the first Liao kings. The Yelu clan headed by Yeluertu, Yelulan, and Yelunan The children were standing on the right side of the coffin in filial piety clothes, each with a very tragic expression on their faces.

The Great Xia Mission was the first to go in to express their condolences. Shen Cha and Jin Jing were also dressed in plain gown. They both looked very solemn. Under the leadership of the ceremony officer, they entered the main hall on the west side, took the incense candles handed over by the servant, Very respectful and deep three bows, each bow, the children of the Yelu clan will return the salute.After saluting, they put the three sticks of incense in their hands in front of the spirit tablet, walked up to everyone in Yeluertu, said some condolences, and then left the mourning hall accompanied by the servant, and walked through the long corridor, Come to the side hall.

The other nobles and ministers of civil and military affairs in the Liao Kingdom had already paid condolences after going down to court, so they rested directly in the side hall. They also had another task, which was to accompany the envoys of various countries and let them spend the period in the palace. Time, don't be so boring.

"General Shen, Jin Junshi!"

Seeing Shen Cha and Jin Jing coming in with Mei Lin, Mei Zhu, Li Jun and Dai Yi, Lord Qi greeted them first, Qi Zhifeng followed behind his father, winking at Shen Cha and Jin Jing.

"Master Qi, Mr. Qi!" Shen Cha and Jin Jing clasped their fists towards Lord Qi, and slightly nodded at the other adults who looked over and greeted them, "Masters, you have worked hard!"

"This way, please!" Master Qi led them to the arranged seats, patted his son on the shoulder, and signaled him to accompany him. "I'm still busy with official duties, so I'll take my leave first."

"Master Qi, go slowly!" Seeing that Master Qi had returned to his circle and was discussing something with other people, Shen Cha looked at Xiao Fengqi who was standing not far away and staring at them, raised his eyebrows slightly , turned his gaze back, glanced at Qi Zhifeng who was yawning non-stop, as if he was about to fall asleep, and asked curiously, "Usually you wake up early, and you haven't seen you sleepy like this?"

"It's because I got up early, but I didn't sleep at all." Qi Zhifeng stretched his waist, "I'm almost exhausted after tossing around all night. Don't you know, my head hurts so much that it's about to explode. "

"What happened again? Could it be that the Tibetans have come up with some new tricks?" Jin Jing thanked the waiter who brought them tea and refreshments, asked him to bring a pot of strong tea, and then Poured a small glass for Qi Zhifeng, "Isn't it very calm these two days? We went out for a stroll and found nothing unusual."

"It has nothing to do with the Tubo people, it's our own business." Qi Zhifeng drank several cups of strong tea in a row, still lacking in energy, lying on the table, and said vaguely, "I don't know, a little shit It can make a big noise." He pointed in Lord Qi's direction, "Did you see, it hasn't stopped until now! The tomb of the former king has been repaired a long time ago, but some people just don't want the former king to enter the tomb of the king." He dismissed it with disgust She curled her lips, "It seems that no one knows their little thoughts. Before, they knew to cover up a little bit, but now... hmph, they are blatant."

"You are not allowed to enter the royal tomb, what do you mean?" There was a commotion at the door, Jin Jing glanced at it, and found that the three envoys of the Kingdom of Jin had also finished their condolences and were led in by the servants, who were greeting the ministers in the palace.After looking at it for a while, he found it meaningless, so he turned his attention to Qi Zhifeng again, "There is no such reason."

"It makes sense to reason with people with normal brains, but it makes sense to reason with people with abnormal brains..." Qi Zhifeng yawned three times in a row, and waved his hand at Jin Jing, "Isn't that just playing the piano to a cow? Those people grabbed the late king and killed him, but they refused to allow the late king to enter the royal tomb. But how could it be possible if they objected? They quarreled all night last night, and they almost made a move." He waved his hand, "Don't worry about them, just let them go, anyway, it won't do what those people want."

"Speaking of which, this matter doesn't have much to do with you. Why did you get involved?" Shen Cha looked around, asked Mei Zhu to find a cushion, and took it to place it under Qi Zhifeng's head, " Take advantage of this time to sleep for a while, and when the other side is over, I will wake you up."

"Thank you, Sister Xiaocha, please cover it for me, and don't let my father see it."

Qi Zhifeng hugged the cushion twice, muttered a few words, didn't hear what Shen Cha said, and fell asleep directly.

"It looks like you're too tired!" Jin Jing waved to the waiter, asked him for a blanket, and covered Qi Zhifeng's body, "I've seen the ability to sleep on a pillow before." .” He glanced at Shen Cha who had been staring at the envoy of the Kingdom of Jin, “What are you looking at?”

"It's boring, just look at it."

Although the whole process of expressing condolences was simple, it took a long time. By the time the envoys from various countries came out of the palace and returned to their posthouses and inns, it was already dark.

Shen Cha didn't know what was going on with the others, anyway, she was so hungry that her chest stuck to her back.After all, the preparations in the palace today are all vegetarian food. For warriors like them, even if they eat a crooked stomach, they will not be full.

Fortunately, the shopkeeper of the inn is well versed in the process, and has tasted it very well. He has arranged for the shop assistants to prepare hot water for bathing, and ordered the stove to prepare hot meals. He only waits for Shen Cha and the others to come back to take a bath Have a full meal after changing clothes.

Shen Cha told the accompanying guards to let them bathe and eat by themselves. Today they have been tossing around in the Liao Palace for a whole day. Everyone should take a good rest. Even if there is a big problem, we have to wait until we have a complete rest.

After finishing these, she nodded slightly towards the shopkeeper, "Thank you shopkeeper for preparing these for us, you have worked hard."

"General Shen, you are being polite. This is what we should do, and it is our honor."

Shen Cha nodded slightly, took Jin Jing, Mei Lin, and Mei Zhu upstairs, and said in a low voice, "After you clean up yourselves, bring the food to my room and let's eat together." She glanced at Jin Jing , "Brother Xiaojing is here too, I will let Meizhu call you."

"It seems that you saw something in the palace." Jin Jing nodded, "Okay, I'll wait for your news."

Half an hour later, everyone gathered in Shen Cha's room. She and Jin Jing shared a small table with steaming hot stewed mutton. He beckoned to Mei Zhu, and asked their sisters to share with Ying Qi and Ying Eight.

"Tell me, what did you see coming?" Jin Jing put a piece of mutton in her mouth, "When you were in the palace, you kept an eye on those three people from Kingdom of Jin the whole time."

"Don't you think they... are weird?" Shen Cha took a sip of the mutton soup, "It's delicious!"

"Isn't that weird!" Hearing Shen Cha say that the soup was very fresh, Jin Jing also took a sip, "A few days ago, Brother Ah Feng told us that the subordinates of the three envoys of the Kingdom of Jin were brazenly fighting on the street. Either this arm was broken, or that leg was crippled, and some people were even carried away. The patrolmen detained those who were fighting and informed the three envoys to come and fetch them personally. The three didn't care much about face, There was a quarrel on the way back to the posthouse." He sighed softly, "However, judging by today's situation, it doesn't look like a big quarrel!"

"Really?" Shen Cha smiled, "The three of them have never been separated today, and when we passed the garden, the eyes of those three people were never idle! So, I have a bold guess, They should be..."

"Temporary truce, let's work together to find Wanyanxi!"

　Yesterday at the annual meeting, I didn't come back to code until midnight, and now I'm going to be sleepy and crazy!
