Prince of Song Dynasty

Chapter 397 Funeral
Ye Chen took a deep breath and asked: "In this way, the mysterious passage must be extremely dangerous. Even with the strength of the old master, he couldn't survive. And the old master let the master and Bai The uncle swears poisonously, I am afraid that he is also worried that you will follow in his footsteps."

Qian Yuechan sighed, panting with some difficulty and said: "It is precisely because I know what Master thinks, Senior Brother Bai and I have never entered inside. But for so many years, I have sent many sword slaves and sword servants inside I have never seen anyone come out of the passage.”

Ye Chen was puzzled, thought for a while, and said, "What does the master want the disciple to do?"

Qian Yuechan looked at Ye Chen deeply, and said: "Although I have taught many swordsmanship these years, they are all sword slaves and sword servants except for the juniors of our Qian family, and they are not my descendants. Disciple. Although it is part of the agreement between you and me that you worship me as a teacher, I have taught you some things anyway, and you can be regarded as my only successor disciple. Therefore, I will tell you this matter. And I tell you this, not because I want you to enter the passage to die now. It is because I want to enter the passage before I die. However, the existence of this mysterious passage cannot be completely canceled because of my death. known."

Ye Chen nodded and said, "I understand."

Ye Chen still has a lot of things to do, Yu Qingyan is waiting for him to rescue, Han Ke'er is about to give birth at home in Kaifeng, after rescuing Yu Qingyan, he will return to Kaifeng soon.Afterwards, he will also help Emperor Song take down the Southern Tang Dynasty, destroy the Maitreya Sect, and the holy church.In addition, Zhao Kuangyin waited for him to avoid the catastrophe of life and death in the original history and died suddenly.Afterwards, he will also help the Great Song Dynasty take back the Sixteen States of Yanyun, defeat Khitan, subdue the party, destroy Dali, and truly unify China.

Therefore, at this time, he will not take the risk to go to the mysterious passage that Qian Yuechan said.

And Qian Yuechan didn't go in before, presumably not because of the poisonous oath he swore in front of the master back then, but also because there are many things that must be done, such as protecting the family and Wuyue Kingdom.The same is true for Ye Chen, maybe after decades, when Ye Chen is about to die, he will not be able to suppress the curiosity in his heart before entering the mysterious passage.

Qian Yuechan was carried into the mysterious passage by six sword servants.The remaining six sword servants and twelve sword boys became the personal guards of the eldest son Qian Zhiyin.

When Ye Chen left Sword Valley and walked out of the ghost bamboo forest with that special method, for some reason, he suddenly remembered the mysterious place leading to the secret passage in the thatched cottage that Qian Yuechan said.Without any reason, he felt inexplicably that this ghost bamboo forest might not be the ecstasy array arranged by Qian Yuechan's master.Because Ye Chen these days, no matter how he looks at it, he can't see any artificial traces in this bamboo forest.There is no rule at all between planting.There is no characteristic of any formation.

"Maybe this ghost bamboo forest is related to that mysterious place." Ye Chen couldn't help muttering to himself.

When white smoke rises all over the city of Hangzhou, and white soul-calling banners flutter in the thick evening spring breeze, the funeral of Qian Hongchu, the last head of Wuyue Kingdom, is about to begin.And the final annexation negotiations between Song State and Wu Yue State have also ended, and the general situation of the world has finally undergone a fundamental change. From today, the appearance of the territory of China has undergone another huge change.

Wuyue Kingdom has already attached to the mighty Song State in name, and if there is no accident, it will not be long before it will truly belong to Song State.And the rich and prosperous Central Plains and Jiangnan in the mountains and rivers of China, except the Southern Tang Dynasty, a decadent country that still has a strong national power, and the powerful country established by foreign races in the north, have almost all surrendered to the army of the Song Dynasty .

Moreover, the Song State conquered the Wuyue State that had been founded for nearly 60 years without sending a single soldier.It was Ye Chen who made all of this possible.his popularity.At this moment, it has reached the climax of history, and even in the Kaifeng court a few days ago, someone used the phrase 'no one before, no one to come' to describe Ye Chen's achievements.In fact, what Ye Chen did and all the previous deeds will inevitably be written into the history books.

Ye Chen stood calmly at the gate of King Wuyue's palace.Lian Jicheng and Feng Zhiyuan stood behind him, and four sword slaves, Qi Bian, Ding Yingcai and other four gold medal killers stood quietly not far away.The Song State Mission was led by Xue Juzheng, the political adviser, and stood on the other side of him.In invisible corners or among the crowd, the spies from the Intelligence Division of the Huaxia Weifu and the Huaxia Guards from the Special Reconnaissance Department did not show their figures, and watched everything around them vigilantly in all directions.

Today is Qian Hongchu's funeral, so there are too many people here, and it is too complicated. Recently, some uneasy factors are fermenting in some markets in Wuyue Kingdom, and there are even rebels in several counties and counties, so as Ye Chen, the representative of the 'aggressor', naturally became the top priority of the protection work.Of course, on the other side, Xue Juzheng and others from the mission of the Song Dynasty were guarded by the guards of the Wuyue King's Palace.

From this, it can be seen that the Wuyue Kingdom is actually only worried about the safety of the Song Kingdom's mission, not Ye Chen's safety, because facts have proved that in today's world, if you don't use a large army, it is too difficult to kill Ye Chen , even if Lou Yanming came out with all the masters of the Maitreya Sect, as long as Ye Chen was not alone, it would be difficult to do it under normal circumstances.

Except for Xue Juzheng, no one dared to stand side by side with Ye Chen. Today's weather was extremely hot, although it was autumn, but the sun was shining brightly and the sun was shining brightly, which gave off a little heat.

Lian Jicheng and Feng Zhiyuan were the closest to Ye Chen, half a step behind Ye Chen.

Ye Chen's face was calm, and he greeted the officials and big businessmen who rushed over from all over the Wuyue Kingdom. The officials of the Song Kingdom's mission had an uncontrollable joy and unconcealable pride on their faces, while the expressions of the Wuyue Kingdom officials were a bit complicated. When looking at Ye Chen and Xue Juzheng and other Song officials, most of them had flattering smiles on their faces.

Countless white paper flowers and curtains had already been hung inside and outside King Wuyue's palace, which looked full of sad death.

I don't know when, in the entire huge city of Hangzhou, white soul-calling banners were hung at the door of every business and every house. The lanterns were changed to white, and the business is closed today.

The sound of crying could be heard faintly from all over the city of Hangzhou, and the sadness seemed to cover the whole city.

Ye Chen watched this scene quietly, silently, thinking that ordinary people are not very clear about what Qian Yuechan did, or even if it was publicized, they would not feel too deep, but the king of Wuyue Kingdom has given Wu Yue all these years. The things that the people of the country have done are real—whether it is in later generations or in ancient times, when a great person is dead, the people's eyes seem to become sharp.

The crown prince Qian Zhiyin's new title is still the king of Wuyue, but he is no longer the lord of the country.After assisting Xue Juzheng to change the territory of Wuyue Kingdom into the two-way land completely under the control of the Song Dynasty court and stabilize it, he will take Princess Yongqing north to Kaifeng.

In Kaifeng City, Emperor Zhao Kuangyin of the Song Dynasty had ordered someone to build a huge palace for him.

No one dared to neglect Qian Zhiyin from the emperor of the Song Dynasty, the prime ministers of the two governments, to ordinary officials. This was not only because of Qian Zhiyin's noble status, but also because of the relationship between the Qian family and Ye Chen.And those who really know the information that some ordinary officials don't know know that even without Ye Chen's relationship, the energy contained in Qian Zhiyin itself is not something anyone can underestimate.

For example, Song Emperor Zhao Kuangyin and Prime Minister Zhao Pu, and Jin Wang Zhao Guangyi.They all knew that Qian Zhiyin was still in control of the behemoth Wuyue Bank. Behind this behemoth were thousands of shops and nearly a hundred workshops, and these added up to at least millions of taels of silver.

As for Qian Zhiyin being the only king of the opposite sex in the Song Kingdom and having his own fiefdom, no one would care much.

Speaking of fiefdoms, I have to mention one thing--under Ye Chen's suggestion, Qian Zhiyin shirked a city that was originally very generous by the emperor of Song Dynasty as a fiefdom, and only wanted a city not far from Hangzhou. A small fishing village by the sea, and a barren land with a radius of two hundred miles around this small fishing village.

Qian Zhiyin is a smart man, he knows that Ye Chen is doing it for his own good, and he also knows that the lower the profile, the better he is. He already has the Wuyue Bank in his hands. It is likely to be the source of the disaster.So, he listened to Ye Chen's words, and finally replaced a city fief with this deserted small fishing village.

However, Qian Zhiyin was always puzzled by Ye Chen's enthusiasm for this small fishing village, and Ye Chen even changed the name of this small fishing village to Shanghai.Ye Chen once said impassionedly that he would build this small fishing village into the largest port city in Song Dynasty.

The affairs of Wu Yueguo are still so complicated and sensitive.

Suddenly, the people of Wuyue Kingdom became the people of Song Kingdom.This is not something everyone can accept, businessmen are really interested in profit, and bitches are really ruthless.But even the people in the brothel of the commercial firm still find it difficult to change immediately. This is different from doing business. If you are not familiar with it, it is for the sake of killing customers, and the power to control your own life and death is best placed on acquaintances. In the hand, this is different from receiving guests in a brothel, a little bit of red lips is tasted by thousands of people, and the girls are actually looking forward to the same in their hearts.

In particular, some prefectural and county officials a little far away from Hangzhou City and some of the Wei family who controlled the business of a large commercial firm slipped through the net. Under the fanning and secret hosting of those who are interested in it, there has already been a trend of unrest.
