dong~dong~dong...

The bells and drums rang together, and the sound instantly spread throughout Daliang City!
From the Daliang Palace, wisps of wolf smoke rose, and then spread from Daliang to the surrounding cities of Wei.

The sound of bells and drums in the middle of the night was so sudden that Long Yangjun stared blankly in the direction of Daliang Palace, silently counting the number of bells.

"The emperor has eight bells, and the princes have six!" Yan Yan also looked at the Daliang Palace and slowly said the record of etiquette in the six arts of the gentleman.

Even if the emperor dies, the bells and drums will only ring eight instead of nine. Only when offering sacrifices to heaven will they ring nine.

"How many sounds are there in total?" Long Yangjun looked at Yan Yan with red eyes and asked tremblingly.

Yan Yan didn't say anything. It was impossible for Lord Long Yang to count the number of bells ringing, but no one could explain the friendship between Lord Long Yang and King Wei of Wei.

The bell rang six times, but the drum beat never stopped.

A group of swan geese on fast horses passed through the streets, rushing quickly to various cities in Wei.

"I have to go!" Long Yangjun knelt down and bowed nine times to Daliang Palace, stood up solemnly, and then quickly left Yan Yan's residence.

"The King of Wei has passed away!" Yan Yan sighed.

In fact, there was no need for him to say anything. Wu Hou, who was patrolling the streets in the night, was already shouting on the streets to deliver the news.

Every household also took out white silk and white silk and hung it up, and the whole city was bleached.

All entertainment venues, brothels, wine shops, and gambling houses also stopped making noise immediately after the bell rang and closed their doors to thank guests.

Officials from various departments also knocked on the firewood doors from door to door to spread the news of King Wei's death.

For a time, the whole beam could be heard crying and howling.

This does not mean how popular Wei Wangyu is with the people, but it is the practice of the princes.

When the Emperor Zhou passed away, the whole world was covered in white silk and weeping thousands of miles away.

"Sir!" The servants of Lord Xinling's Mansion also brought rolls of white silk and handed them to Yan Yan.

When the King of Wei dies, the entire Wei Kingdom must pay tribute to him, whether he is a Wei person or not, as long as he is in the Wei Kingdom!

Yan Yan took the white silk and tied it on his left shoulder. At the same time, he also took off all the pearls and jade on his body.

"Bring them all together, otherwise you will be unable to move anywhere in the entire Wei Kingdom, and don't wear bright clothes anymore!" Yan Yan explained the funeral of the princes to everyone.

"So complicated!" Yan Lingji, the Exorcist and others were a little dissatisfied, but they still honestly changed into dark or white clothes.

In Baiyue, even the King of Baiyue had never seen such a battle.

It was only when they left Xinling Lord's Mansion that they discovered that the entire beam had been covered with white cloth overnight, and every household had its white curtains stretched out.

Lord Xinling had already put on mourning clothes and went to Daliang Palace to preside over the funeral arrangements. Officials and generals from all over the Wei State also rushed to Daliang at the first time.

"Officials and generals from all over the country have returned to Daliang. What if the Qin army attacks the Wei State at this time?" Yan Lingji asked curiously.

Yan Yan glanced at her and said calmly, "Have you ever seen the Wei soldiers and troops originally stationed in Daliang?"

Yan Lingji shook her head.

"Only the supervisors and generals from various places will come back, and the main generals will rush back to their bases as soon as possible. The main army of Wei has also set off for the border of Wei a few days ago!" Yan Yan explained.

"It is said in the military book that a sad army will win! So no one will choose to attack at this time, otherwise even if they win, the price they have to pay will be several times that of ordinary times!" "I thought it was because of the etiquette of the Central Plains of China!" Yan Lingji curled her lips.

"Etiquette is never spoken, but a conventional moral code that is formed after painful lessons!" Yan Yan said lightly.

As South Korea's foreign envoy in Daliang, Yan Yan also needed to put on mourning clothes as soon as possible and go to the Daliang Palace to express his condolences.

Similarly, even the hostile Qin State sent envoys to express condolences.

"It's actually him!" Yan Yan was a little surprised.

At the Daliang Palace, Yan Yan met the envoy sent by the Qin State. He was not coming from Xianyang, but the Qin State's frontline general Yang Duanhe who was coming from Yewang Shangdang!

Seeing that Yang Duanhe came in mourning clothes, Lord Xinling didn't show any emotion. What they were most worried about was that Yang Duanhe came in armor.

If Yang Duan and Chuo Jia came, then they would have to simplify the funeral process and prepare for a big war.

Yang Duanhe came in mourning clothes, which meant that the Qin State would not send troops during the Wei State's funeral.

"Could it be Yang Duanhe who is hiding the sun?" Yan Yan looked at Yang Duanhe's palm.

He also learned something in Tangxi. Using different weapons, there will be subtle differences in the muscles and calluses of the hands.

Yang Duanhe holds the staff, his arms are naturally exposed, and the calluses on his mouth and fists are thick.

"He is a master who is good at using spears, fists and kicks!" Yan Yan secretly thought, so Yang Duanhe was not hiding the sun.

"It's him!" But just when Yan Yan was about to look away, he saw Yang Duan and an attendant beside him.

The callus on the man's mouth was very thick, and it also had subtle differences from ordinary swords. Yan Yan learned from He Bo Fang about the marks left by the Hidden Sun Sword.

The mark on this man's tiger's mouth is exactly the same as what was recorded by Hebofang.

"Who is that from the Qin Kingdom?" Yan Yan asked Mr. Xue beside him in a low voice.

As the chief historian of the Xinling Lord's Mansion, Mr. Xue is also responsible for the intelligence of the entire Xinling Lord's Mansion, and naturally he is aware of all high-level officials in the Qin State.

"It's him!" Mr. Xue followed Yan Yan's gaze and was a little surprised, "Why did he appear here?"

"Who is he?" Yan Yan was confused.

"Qin State, Zuo Ge, Ji!" Duke Xue whispered the identity of the other party, and at the same time whispered, "Je was once the personal guard of King Zhuangxiang of Qin, and later Zi Chu became the King of Qin, and it was logical that Ji became the king of Qin. Qin Guo Ge."

"However, according to rumors, Ji has been very close to Qin Guo Changxin Hou Lao Ai in recent years, and he is not Lu Buwei's person!" Xue Gong continued.

"It's really him!" Yan Yan was surprised, Jingyu's guess was actually correct!
As the personal guard of King Qin Zhuangxiang, his swordsmanship and strength are naturally not low, and Luo Wang is the killer organization of Qin State, so it is reasonable for him to be controlled by King Qin Zhuangxiang's personal guard.

But what Yan Yan was more confused about was whether it was Qin Zuo Ge or the team left by King Qin Zhuangxiang. How could he choose Lao Ai instead of Ying Zheng?
If he chooses to follow Ying Zheng, after Ying Zheng takes over the throne, he will be able to achieve the feat of Conglong and be promoted to the ninth minister of Qin.

"He is the sun hiding in the net!" Yan Yan whispered to Mr. Xue.

Mr. Xue narrowed his eyes slightly and whispered, "Sir, are you sure?"

"Almost ten!" Yan Yan nodded.

"I know!" Mr. Xue turned around, slowly exited the condolence hall, and then appeared next to Mr. Xinling and whispered something.

Soon, Lord Xinling brought Yan Yan to the side hall.
