Walking and stopping along the way, just in time for the rainy season, the coffin originally pulled by eight horses can only be changed into four horses, and two in front and back side by side.
Now, just ten days after leaving the Imperial City, the team is a little tired. After all, these people are guards of honor. They usually walk on the show and look good. Now, those people who are used to living in dignity after such a long journey have long been out of shape.
Today is even worse. It rained cats and dogs. These people are even more uncomfortable when there are no tiles to cover their heads.
"Alas, the weather is terrible. There are no shops in front of the village and behind. Let's find a place to take shelter from the rain." Lord Jing ordered.
Tian Yuqiao said, "I see there seems to be a straw shed over there. Let the eldest prince's longevity materials go first."
"Well, what joel said is reasonable. Death is great. As ministers, we really need to take good care of the eldest prince's body."
Prince Jing said it out loud on purpose, but his voice overshadowed the sound of rain. Because he wants people to know that he and Tian Yuqiao respect the royal majesty very much.
The golden coffin was pushed hard into a broken earth temple over there. People shouted slogans and pushed carriages hard.
However, the old man seemed to want to oppose people. The rain became heavier and heavier. The ground over there was so muddy that it directly trapped the wheels of the carriage and couldn't extricate itself.
The little leader came and wiped the rain on his face and said, "Lord, county Lord, no! The carriage pulling the coffin is trapped in the soil. We can't push it at all."
Prince Jing, dressed in coir raincoat and hat, went to check it himself. When he also confirmed that the carriage could not move, he waved his hand and asked people to find a place to shelter from the rain and take turns to guard the carriage.
Under the heavy rain, the guards of Prince Jing's residence have neatly set up several simple tents and asked Prince Jing and Tian Yuqiao to go in to take shelter from the rain.
Other officials of the Ministry of rites who accompanied them also crowded into a small tent.
People all sighed and sighed, and their resentment had never been so great.
"Brother Li, what evil do you think we have done? A prince died in the imperial city. We have to go to a place where rabbits don't bother to shit and bury it, alas!"
"Shh, I don't dare to talk nonsense. The Fengyang county leader, who was personally sealed by his Majesty in the tent over there, heard that their family lives there."
"How could this be possible? I heard that the Tian family has something to do with Marquis Wu's house and Prince Jing. How could it be born like that?"
"Don't believe it. The twelve princes were killed in such a small place. It's said that they were still killed by the big prince. I don't know whether it's true or not."
"If so, it would be interesting. When my brother killed his brother himself, now he wants to be buried with his brother. Why does your majesty do that?"
These officials are relatively young, and those old foxes know that the muddy water is not easy to flow, so they all try to make themselves sick, so they avoid the fatigue of this trip.
With a loud bang, there was a flash in the sky and it split down directly. The people were so frightened that they all hid together, and there was only a lonely golden coffin and some horses that were constantly neighing because of the thunder.
Tian Yuqiao looked at the strange weather outside in some fear. Then he saw a lightning strike directly on the golden coffin.
The coffin was split directly, and the lid of the coffin didn't know where it went. There was a thick black smoke. When the soldiers went to check, a charred figure jumped out of the coffin.
There was a soldier nearest to him. He was so frightened that he forgot to run away. The monster who jumped out of the coffin grabbed his neck directly, and then he was bitten in the main artery of his neck. His face was losing blood color at a speed visible to the naked eye.
"God, fake the corpse! The prince fake the corpse ~"
The soldiers were so frightened that they ran away. Fortunately, they were stopped by the guards under Prince Jing.
"Bold, those who run away will not be forgiven!" Lord Jing shouted.
The panicked soldiers calmed down one after another, while Tian Yuqiao rushed out with a pig killing knife.
At this time, Xiao Ruan woke up from his deep sleep and whispered in Tian Yuqiao's ear, "Wow, what a delicious taste ~"
"No, you have such a strong taste! This is a corpse chopped by lightning." Tian Yuqiao was a little cold.
Xiao Ruan shook his tentacles for several times, and then said, "eech, what people said was the smell of insects in his body. Those insects were sleeping, and they all woke up after being hit by lightning, and this is a very special insect."
The team has fried the pot. Now the charred body of the prince is catching people everywhere to suck blood.
Tian Yuqiao and Prince Jing were protected by the guards. Then she found a chance to ask Xiao Ruan, "what's going on? What kind of insect is this?"
"It should be the poisonous insects of the Hu people. I felt it when you bombed them there before. This kind of poisonous insect is disgusting and likes to lay eggs in the corpse, and then the corpse will be controlled by its offspring."
"What will they do to control the corpse?" Tian Yuqiao asked curiously.
Xiao Ruan twisted his body twice and said, "naturally, it depends on what their master intends them to do. The master even asked me such a simple question. Is there a bug in your brain? Do you want me to go in and have a look for you?"
He was despised by a bug as big as his little thumb, which made Tian Yuqiao more depressed.
"How can we get rid of those poisonous insects?" Tian Yuqiao asked with a frown.
"If they haven't hatched yet, I can eat them directly. Now that they have grown up, I'm afraid they can't eat so much ~"
Small soft some depressed ground says, a pair of oneself appetite is too small sad appearance.
Outside, a group of timid soldiers began to kowtow to the corpse of the great prince and still read the Buddha's name.
"Come on, don't worship him. He's not our great prince anymore, but because there are demons here to survive the robbery. When the lightning strikes down, the demons just hide in the great prince's body. Let's just cut him into meat sauce." Tian Yuqiao said.
Lord Jing said, "Your Majesty just asked you to bury the body of the great prince. Now it's not the great prince who stands in front of you, but the devil. You don't have to worry. The one who takes the lead in killing the devil will be rewarded with one hundred liang of silver."
