Just as Zhang Ning was about to speak, someone suddenly rushed in.
"Miss, I'm here. Let's see who can bully you!"
Chu Yan could no longer contain his anger at this moment.
Zhang Bao and Zhang Liang were also quite surprised to see that the person coming was Chu Yan.
"Why are you here?"
"Can't I come? If I were a little late, wouldn't the young lady be bullied to death by you?"
Zhang Bao was very dissatisfied with Chu Yan's arrival and asked:
"Ning'er is our niece. How could we possibly bully her? Why are you coming into the city instead of staying outside to contain the imperial army?"
"Humph! I came here specifically to verify whether General Tiangong is really dead!"
No matter how much they thought about it, they never expected the other to ask such a question.
He said angrily: "Chu Yan! What do you mean?"
"Hehe, General Tian Gong is not dead, why are you declaring him dead?"
The two were sure that Chu Yan came here to cause trouble, because they were the ones who carried their eldest brother in with their own hands.
"Do you think we forced my eldest brother to lie down in there?"
Just when the two were furious, Chu Yan said:
"No, I doubt there's anyone in there."
This made the two of them laugh.
"You're talking nonsense. Big Brother is clearly in there, why are you doubting him?"
"Humph! Do you dare to open the coffin?"
"Chu Yan, the eldest lady is here. Please ask her if my eldest brother is in there."
At this moment, Zhang Ning, who was standing by, was also stunned. What was going on?
However, she also witnessed her father being carried in by her two uncles, and nodded to Chu Yan:
"General Chu, my father is indeed inside."
How could Chu Yan be so willing?
"Miss, don't be fooled by them. I heard that the Great Sage Master is not dead at all, so he can't be in the coffin."
Now Zhang Ning hesitated. What if the person carried in at that time was not his father?
She was also wondering why her father died so suddenly.
"Could it be..."
The more Zhang Ning thought about it, the more he felt that this was possible. He could not believe that his father would die at such a young age.
Chu Yan shouted anxiously again:
"Miss, don't you want to witness your father's life and death with your own eyes?"
He showed no disrespect to Zhang Ning, but he was not polite at all to Zhang Liang and Zhang Bao.
He turned around and roared at the two of them:
"Are you too guilty to open it?"
"You are being unreasonable! Chu Yan, what on earth do you want to do? You want to make my brother unable to rest in peace, right?"
"Bullshit! General Tian Gong is not dead at all. This is all a good show arranged by the two of you."
"Chu Yan you!"
At this time, the two men's anger had reached its peak. They were wrongly accused for no reason, and the attacker was their eldest brother.
"Someone come! Kick him out!"
At this moment, a group of Yellow Turban strongmen came up and wanted to drive Chu Yan out.
But Zhang Ning spoke at this time.
"Uncles, I think we should open it and take a look."
The two couldn't believe that their niece didn't trust them, and that she would actually trust an outsider.
"Ning'er, don't you trust us? We are your only two uncles."
"Uncles, it's not that I don't believe you. I just don't believe my father died like that. Maybe he was practicing martial arts and entered a state of rest."
Everyone has heard of the term "turtle breathing", but no one has ever seen it.
Everyone knows about Zhang Jiao's magical powers, so it is not impossible for him to have the tortoise breathing technique.
After hearing Zhang Ning's words, Zhang Liang and Zhang Bao's anger finally subsided.
"Well, since it's Ning'er you said, let them fight. Let's see if Big Brother is still alive."
Now the Yellow Turban strongman who was originally going to drive people away opened the sealed coffin layer by layer.
After opening the last layer, I found that it was empty.
Now everyone was shocked.
Only Chu Yan sneered at the side.
"Hahaha, I told you that General Tian Gong isn't in there. What else do you two have to say now?"
After hearing Chu Yan's words, Zhang Liang and Zhang Bao immediately turned hostile and said:
"Chu Yan! How do you know there's no one inside? Did you hire someone to steal it?"
How could the two of them know that there was no one inside? Since Chu Yan could so easily determine that there was no one inside, it must be related to him.
"You're talking nonsense! This is clearly a conspiracy between the two of you. Where did you hide General Tiangong? He's clearly still alive."
Now everyone present didn't know who to listen to. To them, both sides had their reasons.
"Chu Yan! Everyone present saw with their own eyes that we were the ones who carried Big Brother in. Ning'er has been guarding the mourning hall these past few days. How did we know that there would be no one inside?"
"Yes, that's something you should ask yourselves. There are two of you, and the eldest lady is alone."
As soon as Chu Yan said this, the pressure came on the two of them. After all, Zhang Ning would still go to sleep.
"You're talking nonsense! Even if Ning'er wasn't here, we would still be here."
"Look at this! Look at this! So, besides you, who else can get close to the coffin? You're admitting your mistake."
Now the two of them really had nothing to say.
really!
It is impossible for Zhang Ning to steal his father's body, so it seems that only the two of them are suspects.
"I..."
The two wanted to explain, but no matter how they spoke, they couldn't make it clear.
Only the two of them knew that they had not touched the eldest brother at all.
At this time, Zhang Ning had to believe that it was done by her two uncles, and she looked straight at them.
This left Zhang Liang and Zhang Bao even more speechless.
"We really didn't, we didn't do anything!"
Now Chu Yan started to get angry.
"You still haven't told me where you hid General Tiangong, have you?"
The two men couldn't get angry at their niece, but they didn't have a good face towards the troublemaker.
"Chu Yan! Tell me, did you do this?"
The two had to suspect each other. They came over and said that the eldest brother was missing, and they insisted on opening the coffin. Who else could it be but him?
"Haha, you're still slandering me at this time, aren't you? I've been staying in the cavalry camp. If I hadn't heard the news, I wouldn't have come to the city."
Seeing the expressions of the two uncles, Zhang Ning also felt that something was too strange, so he asked:
"General Chu, who told you that?"
Chu Yan said respectfully:
"My lady, it's an adventurer from the imperial camp. My horse was stolen yesterday, and someone came up to me today and told me about it. I think if even the imperial court knows about it now, then the whole world must know about it. Only we are being kept in the dark."
After Zhang Ning heard that it was someone from the imperial court who said this, he felt that there was a possibility that his father might still be alive.
"Then can you take me to see him?"
Chu Yan nodded and said:
"No problem! He said he'd wait for me for a day."
