Marshal, your vest is off

Chapter 21 Hero Tomb

The sky is gray and a cool breeze blows.

As the most prosperous street, Zhuque Street, almost no one is here, and even the shops are closed.

Everyone rushed to the Grand Master's Mansion and stood quietly in front of the door, watching the situation inside.

Today is the day when Marshal Cheng Yue was buried. Everyone came here early in the morning.

Brother and sister Cheng Qing and Cheng Yue wore sackcloth and mourning, watching the monks perform their final rituals.Master Cheng was leaning on a cane and was not wearing hemp or mourning, but he looked at the coffin with a sad expression.

King Anhe and the princess came here to see off the marshal.

Zhao Wuyuan looked at the coffin with red eyes and didn't know what he was thinking, the other generals were also weeping secretly.

Only Bai Xiuyuan had no expression on his face, but he was secretly paying attention to Cheng Qing.

Seeing the indelible sadness on her eyebrows and the tearful eyes full of reluctance, Bai Xiuyuan was secretly speechless and amazed at her acting skills.

But then I figured it out, if her acting skills were not good, how could she deceive a large group of them?

Soon Master Huiji called out.

The eight generals who were to carry the coffin in person quickly came out, stood at their positions, put wooden sticks on their shoulders, and prepared to shout together.Everyone wore a white kerchief on their head and a white handkerchief on their shoulders to wipe sweat.

Master Huiji led the monks to stand apart, and Qi Diaolie's voice was the loudest, and he called "one two three".

The coffin was lifted, the suona was blown, and other musical instruments played together.

Cheng Qing immediately started crying, holding the spiritual tablet and walking in front with Cheng Yue.

Outside, Tao Liangyu wiped his tears and immediately set off a firecracker.

As soon as the coffin left the gate, the people immediately made way for them.

Qi Diaolie and others carried the coffin and shouted slogans, forcing the tears of the people around them to burst into tears.

Many even cried.

On the crowded streets, there is an atmosphere of sadness everywhere.

Outside Anping City, there is a Tomb of Heroes, which is dedicated to burying those who have made great contributions to the country in the past dynasties.

The emperor had been waiting here for a long time. Dressed in court uniform, he watched the long procession coming from a distance. The front was a conspicuous white color, and behind it was a long queue formed by the people.

Seeing this scene, a trace of joy flashed in the emperor's eyes.

As the team approached, Cheng Qing saw the emperor who had given her several imperial edicts but had never met before.

Although he was middle-aged and not as handsome as a young man, the emperor's majesty and the mysterious feeling under his crown made him feel like a god.

The team stopped, everyone knelt down and shouted, "Long live the mountain!"

The emperor raised his hand, and Eunuch Jiang sent over a piece of yellow cloth. He took it in his hand, unfolded it, and read out the contents on it himself.

"Heaven and earth cycle, all things live and breathe, and they are unaware of life and death. The dead should know that they are coming, not coming, and going, not going. Don't hold on to an inch of soil in the countryside, don't love a trace of love in the world... Introduce yourself to the holy land of the West, and leave the six paths forever. Reincarnation.”

This is the most common sacrificial inscription, a tradition left down by our ancestors, but it is a great honor for the emperor to read it out.

It is a pity that Cheng Qing, as the rightful owner, not only did not feel the glory at all, but seemed to be completely aloof from the incident and became a spectator.

The emperor read the memorial text with a heavy tone, but Cheng Qing could hear the indifference in it.

After the memorial text was read, the emperor said some more sensational words, which can be summarized in one sentence: I am very sorry that the marshal is dead.

The next step was to enter the Tomb of Heroes. Master Huiji knew that the person inside was not Cheng Qing himself, but he still cooperated in presiding over the final ceremony of entering the tomb without blinking an eye.

Watching the tomb door slowly fall, Cheng Qing's heart that belonged to the battlefield completely died.From now on, she only belongs to the Cheng family, just a...little woman.

Cheng Qing shed his last tears, bowed for the last time, and stood up.

The emperor walked up to Master Cheng and said some words of comfort. Before leaving, he caught sight of Cheng Qing from the corner of his eye, and a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes.

There were many beauties in his harem, but none of them were like Cheng Qing. His eyes seemed to be filled with the stars and the sea, his face was beautiful and charming, and his eyebrows had a heroic spirit that ordinary children could not find.

Obviously, her appearance is not the most beautiful, but her temperament is definitely the most unique.

Such a beauty is not just about the beauty of her appearance, but the beauty that goes deep into her soul.

After the emperor was briefly amazed, he left. It is unknown whether he had any other thoughts.

Cheng Qing never looked directly at the emperor from beginning to end, but she felt the gaze lingering on her.

'Cheng Yue' has been laid to rest, and everyone left one after another.

Master Huiji came to say hello to the Cheng family and then left.

Before long, only Zhao Wuyuan, Zhao Ningbai, Bai Xiuyuan, the generals and the Cheng family were left in front of the hero's tomb.

Qi Diaolie was outspoken and spoke first: "Uncle, brother Cheng, Qing'er, please express my condolences. People cannot be resurrected after death. If you are like this, the marshal will not rest in peace underground."

Why is Master Cheng Yue so sad?They are all worried now. This funeral has made Cheng Qing, the living and dead brothers, have a closer relationship with them. They will have contact with them in the future. If Cheng Qing is recognized, it will be terrible.

As for Cheng Qing, she was just expressionless and not sad.

At most her eyes were red and swollen, who made her have to cry?

Master Cheng turned around, faced them, and knelt down towards them while holding on to his crutches.

"Thank you, if it weren't for you, Yue'er wouldn't be able to come back."

"Master!"

Everyone hurriedly rushed to help him. The two brothers and sisters behind the Grand Master who reacted very quickly were helped to steady themselves just as they were about to kneel down.

Cheng Qing looked up and suddenly fell into the gentle eyes. Her heartbeat skipped a beat. It was Bai Xiuyuan who helped her.

Blinking his eyes, he couldn't help but think that he was still good-looking with his neat appearance, like a fairy scholar, which made people want to bully him at first sight.

Bai Xiuyuan glanced around and said something in her ear.

These words made Cheng Qing petrified on the spot, staring at him in shock, dumbfounded.

Bai Xiuyuan raised the corners of his mouth and smiled very energetically, just like the look Cheng Qing had seen before.

"Do you still want to bully me?"

Cheng Qing's words seemed to ring in his ears again, and he was completely confused.

What is wrong with this?

Why does the white fox know everything?
She came back to her senses and looked at Bai Xiuyuan again, with the same faint smile, but she could see from his eyes that he would not give up.

Cheng Qing: "..."

Her true identity has been discovered, what should she do?
Cheng Qing had never been so flustered as she was now. She withdrew her hand and turned to support Master Cheng.

She had to think carefully, what should she do next?
Bai Xiuyuan allowed her to pull back. His hand could pull back, but his heart couldn't. He would hold on tightly and never let go.

　The writing has been simplified. I checked the funeral etiquette, and each one was more difficult for me to understand. I can only write this paragraph based on what I have seen. Please forgive me.Finally, thank you all for voting, I love you, okay.
