Chapter 958 After the happy event, it is a funeral
The marriage between his sister and Brother Guanzhong was over, and Hua Rong was able to go to Qingzhou without any worries. It was no problem for Xiao Tang and his brothers to set out for Hua Rong's practice.
Liu Fa, who was condemned by the imperial court, was imprisoned in a military prison. His cheek had already been stabbed by a pensmith, and the prison camp on Salmon Island was arranged at various locations. The lawsuit was issued, and Liu Fa was also prepared to be sent to the police to take Liu Fa into custody.
.Although Han Cunbao tried his best to exonerate Liu Fahan during the Tenth Festival by using Zheng Juzhong as a high-ranking official in the DPRK, Zheng Juzhong was bent on fighting for power with Cai Jing, Tong Guan and other powerful officials, although he also planned to take advantage of Liu Fa's injustice.
During the false and wrong case, he wrote a lot of articles to attack his political opponents, but now that the holy will has been decided and it is difficult to change it, Zheng Juzhong also has the political power to compete with the powerful people in the DPRK, and there is nothing he can do.
Liu Fa was going to be escorted to Salmon Island that day. Wang Huan, Han Cunbao, Zhang Zhang and others had no choice but to plan on waiting for Liu Fa before he set off, and planned to use gold and silver to escort Liu Fa's escorting officers. As for Xiao Tang's orders,
Shi Xiu, Shi Qian and other brothers prepared meticulously. As soon as Liu Fa set off on his journey, they were also prepared to follow him secretly to protect Liu Fa's life...
Three days later, it was the day when Liu Jinglue was on his way to be escorted to Salmon Island... Xiao Tang thought in his mind, and Xiao Jiasui was also preparing to leave for Erlong Mountain on Jingdong Road to dispatch the people in the village.
The soldiers and horses captured the prison city of Shamen Island. Perhaps they, together with Wang Huan, Han Cunbao and others, sent Liu Fa off.
But just when Xiao Tang was about to instruct his companions to go to the houses of Wang Huan, Han Cunbao and others to discuss how to send Liu Fa off, he saw Yan Qing entering the hall holding a letter and Yan Qing's expression was very strange.
Dignified, he said to Xiao Tang again: "Brother, there is a letter coming from Xiaojiaji..."
When Xiao Tang saw Yan Qing's expression was different, he was also shocked. He was wondering what happened in Hebei. He quickly took the letter from Yan Qing and read a few lines. Xiao Tang's expression suddenly changed and he couldn't help but
He said in shock: "What? My mentor is dead!?"
The original letter said: Zhou Tong originally taught his four disciples Yue Fei, Wang Gui, Zhang Xian and Tang Huai to practice writing on two days and martial arts on one day, whether it was the martial arts of long and short weapons or the marching of commanding troops.
The strategy is becoming more and more proficient. However, Yue Fei's biological father, Yue He, is seriously ill, and his body and bones are getting worse day by day. Zhou Tong thought that now his adopted son Yue Fei and his three disciples have improved their skills to a certain level. In order to teach Yue Fei's biological father
Yue He was relieved, and it was time to teach Yue Fei, Wang Gui, Zhang Xian, and Tang Huai to apply for the martial arts provincial examination and show off their skills.
The Yue Fei family, who was originally born in Tangyin County, Xiangzhou, moved to Qilin Village in Huang County, Daming Prefecture due to floods. Although the parents of Yue Fei, Wang Gui, Tang Huai, Zhang Xian and others later hoped that their children would become successful and looked forward to the teachings of the famous teacher Zhou Tong.
He also moved his family to Xiaojiaji in Zongcheng County, Daming Prefecture. According to his place of origin, he had to rush to Neihuang County to participate in the martial arts examination. Together with the martial arts boys from the villages and towns under his rule, he passed the martial arts examination in horse archery and infantry archery.
, flat shooting, carbine, weight-bearing and other subjects.
Wang Gui, Zhang Xian, and Tang Huai have been taught by Zhou Tong for many years. Each of them has excellent grades and ranks among the best in various subjects. As for Yue Fei, who has almost no rivals among his peers in martial arts, he is the best, and Neihuang County Magistrate Li
In response to Chun's appreciation, he also presented a sacred horse as a gift and held a banquet for Zhou Tong, Yue Fei, Wang Gui, Zhang Xian and Tang Huai.
Naturally, Zhou Tong felt gratified and happy that his adopted son, whom he had painstakingly cultivated, was so successful. He went crazy with old age and ran wildly with Yue Fei on the way back to Xiaojiaji in Zongcheng County.
I was hot from running, sweating and out of breath. When I returned to the market town, my eyesight was dim, my chest and abdomen were distended, and my body was chilling and hot.
Yue Fei and several other disciples heard about it and immediately went to serve him. Bian Xiang, Yang Lin, Chen Guang and others from the Xiao family, and Lu Junyi and others from the Daming Palace all consulted famous doctors to diagnose and treat Zhou Tong, but because Zhou Tong was already in his twilight years,
As he gets older, his condition becomes more and more serious...
Zhou Tong knew that he was seriously ill and had reached the end of his life. He thought he would die soon, so he called Lu Junyi, Yue Fei, Zhang Xian, Tang Huai, Wang Gui and other disciples before his death. After giving instructions, he suddenly died.
Long farewell. Before his death, he not only asked Wang Gui and others to assist Yue Fei and serve the country loyally, but also said that his beloved disciple Xiao Tang was very gratified because he had repeatedly performed extraordinary feats in Bianting. However, he must also put national affairs first, and there was no need to
Come back to offer condolences and pay homage...
After Zhou Tong's death, Lu Junyi, Zhang Yuanwai, Wang Yuanwai and others prepared the clothes and coffin. The coffin was parked in Xiaojiaji. After the monks were invited to do the Gongguo Dojo, it was sent to the beautiful Qingsongpo outside Xiaojiaji.
Go to bury. Yue Fei built a canopy in front of the selected grave, and wanted to guard Zhou Tong's tomb as a filial piety. The Xiao family gathered Bian Xiang, Yang Lin, Xue Yong and other brothers, thinking that such a big event must be settled early.
When the elder brother found out, he immediately sent a flying pigeon letter to the Xiaotang Mansion in Bianjing.
After reading the letter announcing the funeral, Xiao Tang's face was pale and his heart was extremely depressed. His martial arts could be as good as it is today, and it was indispensable for the painstaking guidance of his mentor Zhou Tong. Yan Qing saw Xiao Tang's sad expression, and also
He couldn't help but let out a long sigh and said: "Xiao Yi also knows the pain in my brother's heart, but everyone has his own destiny and cannot force it. Although Senior Zhou passed away, he also died at a healthy age... After all, the deceased is dead. I don't know whether my brother is alive."
Are you planning to return to Xiaojiaji to pay your respects?"
"Although my mentor asked me to focus on national affairs and not go back to pay homage to him, but with the relationship between master and disciple, I can just stay in Bianliang, Tokyo and remain indifferent?"
Xiao Tang sighed. He wanted to estimate the time according to the historical records. It was indeed almost the end of Zhou Tongyang's life. No one could avoid birth, old age, illness and death in this world. However,
Even if Xiao Tang had some preparations in mind, after all, Zhou Tong favored him and taught him all his lifelong knowledge. There was also a deep master-disciple relationship between them, so after learning about Zhou Tong's death due to illness,
, Xiao Tang Anfu passed by the market town to visit his mentor since his last mission to the Liao Kingdom, but he did not expect that it would be the last time the two of them met in this life, and it was still difficult to accept it in his heart.
Xiao Tang also thought that Zhou Yunqing, the son of Zhou Tong, also died in the Song-Xia war, and had no heirs. He only devoted himself to cultivating young men like Yue Fei, who had the appearance of uncut jade, to serve the country. He was deeply grateful for his kindness in teaching martial arts, even if
There was no chance to see Zhou Tong one last time before his death. As a disciple, of course he had to pay homage to his deceased mentor.
After making up his mind, Xiao Tang said to Yan Qing: "Now that Sanlang and Brother Shi Qian have secretly escorted Liu Jinglue to Salmon Island, there is no need to worry about his life for the time being. Brother Jiasui has also set off to Erlong Mountain.
I can rest assured that he will dispatch the troops and manpower... There are no other important matters in Bianjing for the time being...
My mentor died, and except for his adopted son Yue Fei, brother Yue Fei, and his three disciples, he had no biological children to serve him as a human being. Now that I have learned the bad news, I have to rush back to Xiaojiaji overnight.
I want to pay homage to his old man. The court explained the reason, and I think he can understand it... The rush to attend the funeral cannot be delayed. Xiao Yi, you can pack your bags with me and talk to some of your confidants. I will wait for you.
And hit the road, leaving Beijing and heading north back to Xiaojiaji."
