Chapter 125

The banquet is over.

Some people have returned home, and some people have no home.

In Lanzhou courtyard, it was so quiet that even breathing could be heard clearly.

But in Ling Qing's world, it was so quiet that even these voices didn't exist.

She knelt in front of the bed with a calm expression, but her eyes were slightly red.

Xiao Yan came and knelt directly beside her.

Li Shan came next.

This little movement was not enough for Ling Qing to look away from Ling Chengtian.

Xu An and Jin Hua, who had been busy with the dowry for many days, went to prepare for the funeral together.

In fact, Ling Chengtian had asked the two of them to prepare those things a long time ago, so now they just take them out and hang them up.

The red silk was put away, only the white silk fluttered slightly in the winter wind.

The guests who had not been away for a long time all received the news that Ling Chengtian had passed away at the same time.

Some are happy and some are sad.

Gu Chen turned back to Ling Mansion on the way back.

There is also Yu Zixie.

There are also some small merchants whose names are unknown.

In general, there are more than ten or twenty people.

They all stopped in front of the gate and were sent away by Xu Dazheng and Xu Xiaozheng again.

Before Yu Zixie left, he stood at the gate of Ling's house for a long time, his face expressionless.

I do not know when, he left.

Quietly.

In the middle of the night, Xu An returned to Lanzhou Courtyard.

"Girl, the mourning hall is ready." Xu An whispered in Ling Qing's ear.

In this faintness, there is a deep sadness.

"It's time, let's send father over there again!" Ling Qing lowered his eyes, his tone was the same as his expression, and he was still calm.

"Yes."

"Bring in the hot water, I'll wash up my father-in-law." Xiao Yan said suddenly.

Xu An was startled and didn't make a sound, but waited for Ling Qing's reaction

After two breaths, Ling Qing said gratefully: "Thank you."

"Uncle Xu, set up the screen." Ling Qing turned to Xiao Yan and said, "I'll help you outside the screen."

Xiao Yan nodded.

Xu An went to make arrangements.

Xiao Zhiyuan and Yin Daifu went to the mourning hall to supervise.

Everything was ready, there were only Xiao Yan and Ling Qing in the room, and Li Shan also stayed away.

Ling Qing looked at Xiao Yan's shadow on the screen.

The movements are gentle and filial, she sees all these in her eyes and keeps them in her heart.

The two cooperated tacitly.

Ling Qing knew what he wanted to change without him shouting.

Two moments later, Ling Chengtian had already changed into his shroud.

Ling Qing walked around the screen and looked at Ling Chengtian's kind face again.

He seemed to be sleeping, but Ling Qing couldn't lie to himself with his pale complexion.

There was a knock on the door, it was Li Shan.

"When you're done with your work, go out and eat something first, otherwise you won't be able to stay up for a few nights."

Ling Qing opened the door, Li Shan and Xu An stood outside the door.

"Uncle Xu, can you eat?" Ling Qing asked.

"Eat." Xu An didn't have the appetite to eat, but he still lied.

"Then I will trouble Uncle Xu to look at Daddy, and Shizi Xiao and I will go eat something first."

Xu An hurriedly responded.

My heart is sad and happy.

The sad thing is that Ling Chengtian is gone, but the gratified thing is that Ling Qing knows that no matter what happens, he knows how to take care of his body first.

The two followed Li Shan to the dining hall.

The three of them sat silently.

"Let's eat!" Ling Qing said, picked up the bowls and chopsticks and started to eat.

Xiao Yan and Li Shan subconsciously glanced at each other, and both picked up their chopsticks.

A supper that begins and ends in silence.

Ling Qing was full, rinsed his mouth, and drank tea.

Seeing that Xiao Yan and Li Shan had finished eating, she began to talk about what might happen tomorrow.

But she said first: "Xiao Shizi, there is no need to proceed with the faint."

"Well, it is inevitable."

inevitable?

Ling Qing didn't meet Xiao Yan's gaze, but just stared at the steaming teacup in front of him.

Today, Dad doesn't seem to have taken any medicine.

Or is it useless even if you continue to drink medicine today?

"I tried my best." Li Shan said suddenly.

Ling Qing felt guilty when she heard Li Shan's words, she smiled lightly and said, "I should thank you for letting Daddy see that I have grown up."

Li Shan lowered his eyes, not knowing how to respond.

The atmosphere sank.

"Tomorrow, the Ling residence may be in chaos." Ling Qing changed the subject.

"I have sent soldiers to guard the entire Ling Mansion."

"No, your name should be Wei Xia. Now go and dig through the passage, the passage leading to Meilin Village."

Xiao Yan nodded: "Today I asked them to dig. At this time, the passage should be cleaned up."

"Before you, you bombed and buried the passage to Wuming Mountain. Otherwise, it would be very difficult to dig so blatantly."

"Has the passage leading to the sea been dealt with?" Ling Qing asked.

"It's all dealt with."

"Where is it outside the city?"

Xiao Yan pondered and said: "A few days ago, I found those who were hidden by Chen Chang. They were the servants of the Ling family. There were more than two hundred of them."

"I'm also on the way to Beiliang Country. I checked the official road and the wild road. There are many horseshoe marks and rut marks. There should be a lot of people."

Ling Qing sneered: "No wonder Qian Rong is so bold today and doesn't take my father seriously. It turns out that I know this time, and I can come today!"

"Don't worry, the father also brought soldiers."

Ling Qing was silent for a moment, and said, "You are all here, can the Northwest Territory be safe?"

Xiao Yan was surprised by Ling Qing's concerns, and he didn't hide it: "Sooner or later there will be chaos, let's make it messy in advance."

Can you take care of this?

Ling Qing was suspicious that the chaos in Ducheng would not settle down so quickly.

"I'm afraid that Ducheng will not be able to defend it." Xiao Yan said.

"I know." Ling Qing just knew, that's why he wanted to dig all the passages.

"However, they won't get Ducheng so easily."

Ling Qing looked at Xiao Yan, feeling that he seemed to have something to say, so he waited silently for his next words.

"I found Changrun."

Ling Qing subconsciously grabbed Xiao Yan's hand on the table: "What are you talking about?"

Xiao Yan's grasped hand froze, and he didn't intend to pull it back.His expression was the same, but he smiled and said, "On the way to Beiliang the day before yesterday, I received a letter from Changrun."

"He is in Beiliang Fortress. In order to prevent the wound from opening, he delayed returning to the city for so long."

"Brother, when will you be home?" Ling Qing asked anxiously.

She didn't know whether she should be happy now or not.

But the truth is, she couldn't even cry, let alone laughing.

Xiao Yan was not sure either.

Right now, Ling Ze probably doesn't know the news of Ling Chengtian's death, plus he has to worry about his injuries, it may take two or three days.

"Just a few days!"

Xiao Yan's response made Ling Qing calm down slowly.

Tomorrow, the whole of Ducheng will know of his father's death,
Then, tomorrow, it will spread outside the city, to other countries, and to the whole world.

Brother, you will go home early, right? !
