Wang Huayu's words made me stunned for a long time.
But there is no doubt that it is currently certain that the body in the coffin is definitely not that of Yuan Zhengfa.
"I see."
I agreed to Wang Huayu.
"By the way, you are looking for me now. Let me ask you, when will you leave here? Don't forget the demon-suppressing bottle. If the snow demon in it is successfully awakened, it will be a great help to you."
Wang Huayu asked me. She didn’t seem to want to stay here.
"I have to stay in Luyi for a while. Didn't I discover an ancient art that is more powerful than the ancient art of Huang Yu? I also want to find out this."
I replied, without directly saying that I was not strong enough to fight against foreign enemies, so I came here to form an alliance with the Yuan family in Runan to avoid the limelight.
"Chen Qi, you have to know that you can't bite off more than you can chew. There are so many treasures in the world, so you can't just want them all."
Wang Huayu said.
Her meaning was very clear, telling me not to explore the ancient art of the incense burner spirit.
But at this moment, I am surprised...
Because Wang Huayu rarely interferes in my affairs, except for the Yellow River Golden Sword, but tonight, why does she seem to talk a lot more?
I asked with some confusion: "Don't you like it here?"
"Well, I don't like this place very much. I feel that Luyi is not very reassuring. Maybe there are too many masters here. In addition, I know from the memory I received from Queen Yu that Luyi is the home of the Yuan family in Runan. Station, there are many mysterious techniques to protect them."
Wang Huayu admitted, then thought for a moment, and then said: "In addition, the Runan Yuan clan has been one of the most powerful noble clans since the emergence of the gentry two thousand years ago. There are many unknowns in their clan. The power, or the secret weapon.”
Hearing this, my mind moved slightly.
Wang Huayu's words suddenly made me react.
After Yuan Zhengfa died, the top strength of the entire Runan Yuan clan was reduced to one fifth-grade Yuan Jing and five sixth-grade ones. This strength was comparable to that of the Langya Wang clan. Why did Yuan Jing dare to be so domineering? Want to go to war with the United Gentlemen?
You must know that the United Gentlemen Clan has a total of nine noble tribes...
Although Yuan Jing is the strongest fifth rank, I don't believe that the fifth rank clan leaders of the United Gentlemen clan together can't defeat Yuan Jing.
Wang Huayu reminded me that maybe what I know is just the superficial strength of the Runan Yuan Clan.
Their heritage, their true strength, is still unknown to others...
"I understand, I will leave here as soon as possible, you rest."
I said something to Wang Huayu.
Wang Huayu said yes and then fell silent.
I opened my eyes again.
After discussing with Wang Huayu for a long time, the people beside me didn’t leave, and their eyes fell on me.
Especially Yuan Sheng, the three younger members of the Yuan family in Runan, seemed to be afraid of what I might do to the coffin.
Yuan Sheng spoke, and he was a little dissatisfied with my behavior, so he said: "What are you doing? Chen Qi, I think you should withdraw a little bit? Keeping your hand on the old patriarch's coffin like this, I think it's right The old patriarch is a little disrespectful.”
After inquiring about the coffin, there was no need for me to continue here. Then, I betrayed Yuan Sheng, nodded to him, and retreated to the back.
Yuan Sheng and the three of them continued to watch the funeral outside with peace of mind.
Huang Mingze and I retreated very far outside.
"Xiaoyou Chen, did you find anything?"
Huang Ming lowered his voice and asked me curiously.
I neither denied nor admitted, but asked him: "You said you saw the figure of the old patriarch on the edge of a wreath. Which wreath was it?"
"That one, the farthest one on the left."
Huang Ming pointed over.
There are many wreaths placed in the mourning hall, not only sent by the Yuan clan of Runan, but also by many nobles.
Yuan Zhengfa's obituary was issued yesterday and was announced directly to the entire noble clan. This was important news, so basically all the noble clans immediately sent wreaths and elegiac couplets.
Even people from the United Gentlemen clan were sent.
Including, to Chenjiazhuang of Xuanwu Tortoise...
What a coincidence is that the wreath Huang Ming pointed to, the wreath placed on the outside, was sent by Chenjiazhuang!
Although the basalt tortoise shell that killed Yuan Zhengfa was brought by the Langya Wang family, the noble clan who actually took out the basalt tortoise shell was Chenjiazhuang...
Runan's Yuan family could still tell the difference. They did not directly throw away the wreaths in Chenjiazhuang, but they naturally placed them outside in the most inconspicuous place.
Huang Ming and I walked towards the wreath. Huang Ming said at this time: "Little friend Chen, I know your identity. What a coincidence. This wreath was sent by Chenjiazhuang. I didn't even notice it just now."
Great righteousness and virtue spread thousands of miles, and high integrity will last forever - Chenjiazhuang
These are the words in the elegiac couplet. They are very ordinary, there is nothing wrong with them, and there is no hidden mystery.
I didn't see any people here.
Then, I looked at Huang Ming, who immediately said: "I did see the old patriarch before. Now that we are here so openly, it will be difficult to find traces of the old patriarch again."
I didn't say anything, but at this moment, I suddenly discovered that there were two very small characters on this elegiac couplet. These two small characters could not be found at all if you didn't look at them carefully.
The two small words are - "outside the city"...
"Hey, I suddenly felt a little sleepy. I don't think I can find anything. Xiaoyou Chen, how about I just forget about it for tonight and go back to rest. I'll have enough energy for tomorrow?"
At this moment, Huang Ming suddenly asked me and yawned, seemingly exhausted.
"Okay, Zodiac Chief, it's really getting late. You should go back and rest quickly, but I want to take another look. If I find any clues, I'll come back to you to discuss it."
Then, I looked at Huang Ming and said.
"no problem."
Huang Ming agreed immediately, and then he suddenly whispered: "I'd rather not tell the prince about these things tonight."
"Why?" I frowned.
"The eldest son is the eldest son of the Yuan family in Runan! No matter how good our relationship is, if I criticize such a big thing in his ears, I will definitely be scolded. Xiaoyou Chen, you are different. You are just like me. In the end, you are not the master of the family. My son, it doesn’t matter what we say.”
Huang Ming whispered.
"It depends on yourself." I smiled and replied.
After Huang Ming agreed, he left and headed towards his Taiqing Palace.
As for me, I thought about the two words on the elegiac couplet of the Chenjiazhuang wreath.
Outside the city?
Is this some kind of guidance?
Are you asking people to go outside Luyi County?
I didn't immediately leave the city because of these two words, because I didn't forget one thing...
There are people from the United Gentlemen clan outside.
In this Luyi, perhaps because of the secret power of the Runan Yuan family, the united nobles did not dare to invade, but once they left the city, the situation was different.
At the same time, I don’t dare to take any chances. I can guarantee that as soon as I leave the city, the people from the United Gentlemen will discover it immediately.
During the trip to the Runan Yuan Clan, I have already felt the heritage of a noble clan. Even if the other noble clans are worse than the Runan Yuan Clan, they will not be much worse, let alone a union of nine noble clans.
I'm afraid they don't have too many secret techniques for finding people.
In addition, it is not clear whether the word "outside the city" is a message to guide people, or whether it is me.
And even if you don't look at the United Gentlemen, these two words are indeed guiding people. This person is me, and I can't be sure whether the person behind it is an enemy or a friend, and whether it is a blessing or a curse for me to go!
Just as I was thinking about it, I suddenly discovered something else...
Just behind the wreath, there is a signature!
When I saw this signature, my pupils shrank suddenly!
————"Chen Daoling!"
My father's name!
This wreath and elegiac couplet was given by my father?
Chenjiazhuang! Sent by Chen Daoling! ?
My father is not dead or missing, but he is in Chenjiazhuang?
I immediately calmed down. The appearance of my father's name made me temporarily absent-minded and excited. But when I thought about it carefully, how could this be a gift from my father?
If it was my father, why didn't he come to me? Why didn't he help me when I was being surrounded by the United Gentlemen?
But no matter what, my father's name greatly affected my thoughts. I didn't think any more and prepared to leave Luyi as quickly as possible!
Go outside the city first! Don't go far! As long as I feel something wrong or dangerous, I will return to Luyi immediately!
