The reborn dragon is in the city

Chapter 657
Chapter 657
Three days after his death, Po Jun's funeral was officially held.

Pojun’s funeral was simple and grand, simply because there were not many people attending his funeral, and grand because everyone who attended Pojun’s funeral, except for Xu Shaotang, were all high-ranking figures in the Xia Kingdom , any one of these people is an existence that countless people look up to.

Qin Guozhu, Long Jiang, Song Yinian, Tang Hesong and others were all in the funeral procession.

The funeral was held on the shore of Yanqi Lake. The once alive Pojun now has only a small box of ashes left.

The one holding Pojun's ashes in his hand is none other than the old man.

In Xia Kingdom, there are only a handful of people who can enjoy such treatment. Of course, Long Jiang and Qin Guozhu should also be eligible to enjoy such treatment.

The old man held Po Jun's ashes and walked to the edge of Yanqi Lake with a solemn expression. Under the watchful eyes of everyone, he scattered Po Jun's ashes on Yanqi Lake, completely erasing the last trace of Po Jun's existence in this world, although he wanted to Keep Pojun's body well, but Pojun has already arranged all this before going to Yanqi Lake, and these are just respecting Pojun's own wishes.

After scattering the last handful of ashes into Yanqi Lake, the old man said loudly in his deep voice, "Old friend, have a good journey..."

"Pojun, go all the way!"

Everyone bowed deeply to Yanqi Lake to express their respect for this strong man who was willing to silently guard the old man all his life.

There was no crying, and there were no cumbersome procedures. When Po Jun's ashes completely melted into the water of Yanqi Lake, this simple but grand funeral was officially over.

When Xu Shaotang was about to leave, Jin Hu had already walked over and said to Xu Shaotang: "The bosses asked you to come over."

After Po Jun's death, Jin Hu and Iron Leopard are temporarily responsible for the safety of the old man. They have also changed from the former "law enforcers" to the current imperial guards. However, the two of them are not happy because they know their Their strength is far from that of Po Jun, and they are worried that they are not up to the job, and if something goes wrong with the old man, then they will die.

Xu Shaotang nodded, and followed Jin Hu to the small courtyard where No. [-] lived.

Although Xu Shaotang used to be a member of the "Law Enforcement Officers", it was the first time he came to the old man's small courtyard, which was located next to the small river behind the Administrative Council.

Contrary to what many people imagined, the small courtyard is not that big, not even half of the size of the Song family and other families, but the small courtyard is very delicately maintained, and the scent of flowers can be smelled from a long distance away. Outside the yard is a fence surrounded by circles of small mottled bamboos, which is simple but has a special flavor.

Although the small courtyard looks simple, if someone wants to break into the small courtyard by force, he must first weigh his own weight.

When approaching the small courtyard, Xu Shaotang felt that there were no less than a hundred people lurking around the small courtyard. Even with his keen eyesight, he didn't know where those people were hiding, he could only feel their aura.

After sending Xu Shaotang to the small courtyard, Jin Hu left without saying a word.

When Xu Shaotang stepped into the yard, the old man, Qin Guozhu and Long Jiang were sitting under the tree in the corner of the yard drinking tea. When they saw Xu Shaotang coming, the old man waved to him gently, signaling him to come over.

"Hello, boss!" Xu Shaotang walked up to them and saluted them with a standard military salute.

Although he is no longer a soldier, the temperament and standards of a soldier have already taken root in his heart.

Seeing Xu Shaotang's appearance, the old man showed him a faint smile and said, "There are no outsiders here, so don't stick to these vain etiquettes. I heard that you have always been a cynical person. I don't think so."

"Cynicism depends on who you are dealing with." Xu Shaotang put down his hand and said to the old man.

"If I hadn't known what kind of temperament you are, I would have thought you were flattering me." The old man shook his head, pointed to the empty guard seat, and said with a smile, "Stop standing, sit down." , casually."

Xu Shaotang nodded lightly, and sat down on the empty seat. It was different from his usual sitting posture. His back was straight now. He didn't do it to express himself in front of the old man, it was just a kind of respect from the heart.

"Do you know what we asked you to do?" Long Jiang asked.

Xu Shaotang shook his head, jokingly said: "I don't know, but I know, you probably didn't ask me to have tea with you."

"Do you think we are bored enough to invite you to drink tea?" Qin Guozhu glared at Xu Shaotang, and said, "We called you here mainly to learn about your master, and that Mu Huang Yu's people. The existence of the Mu family has always been a thorn in our hearts, but we only know now that we know too little about this thorn."

One Mu Jianchen was enough to give them a headache. They thought Xu Shaotang would be able to compete with the Mu family once he had the strength to kill Xia Jiuli, but who would have thought that a more terrifying Mu Huang would suddenly appear Feather came out, which made them feel a sense of oppression.

Fortunately, judging from the situation that day, Mu Huangyu seemed to be a little afraid of Xu Shaotang's master, which slightly relieved the pressure in their hearts.

"That's right. It has been said since ancient times that gambling has been banned by using martial arts. The Mu family always tries to dominate the country. If we don't solve the Mu family's affairs for a day, we can't completely relax." The old man also sighed slightly. said.

In fact, even if they don't ask, Xu Shaotang will find time to tell them about the Mu family's affairs, but because of the Pojun incident before, he is afraid that these few people are still sad about the Pojun incident, thinking about waiting for this matter Let them know after that.

Now that they specifically asked him to ask about this matter, Xu Shaotang immediately did not hide anything, and told them all the news he got from the old man, except that he himself was the successor.

After listening to Xu Shaotang's words, the three of them were very surprised. They guessed that Xu Qing and Master Kong Jing were the guardians, but they didn't expect that Mu Huangyu was also the guardian. They just didn't know that Mu Huangyu was the guardian. Xia Guo still wanted to protect the Mu family. Judging from the current situation, it seemed that the latter was more likely.

"I didn't expect you to have such a powerful master." Long Jiang glanced at Xu Shaotang and said with a smile, "With your master backing you up, you will be able to walk sideways in Xia Guo from now on."

Xu Shaotang smiled at the dragon general, and said, "I'm not a crab, why do I walk sideways? It's not like you don't know, I don't want to get involved in these things at all, it's just that I don't know how to get involved inexplicably."
