Half a quarter of an hour later, He Lanmin angrily ran to the top of the beacon tower. A figure in full armor was standing in front of the burning pyre with seven pillars of smoke rising into the sky, with his back to her, looking at Pingcheng in the distance.
Helan Min was so angry that she rushed forward and shouted: "He Lanhu, who told you..."
Suddenly, He Lanmin's expression changed, and she froze in place, because the man slowly turned around, allowing her to see his face clearly. On the black face, his eyes were shining, and there was a beautiful goat.
His beard was under his chin, and his voice was calm and clear: "Earth Angel No. 3, this is the first time we meet. I am Angel B. You can also call me Tao Yuanming. Please take care of me."
Pingcheng, inside the palace city, Liangyi Hall.
Tuoba Shao had already put on a military uniform and armor. He walked to Tuoba Gui's body, looked at his father lying among the flowers, and his eyes fell on the black giant sword in his hand.
, gritting his teeth, he took the big sword from Tuoba Gui's body, and shook it for a while. Even the candlelight in the hall flashed with light and dark, and the wind and shadows were blurred, as if Tuoba Gui's body would also
Sit up at any time.
The old eunuch Laifu said in a deep voice: "Your Majesty, what are you doing?" In his hand, he no longer held a chamber pot, but a two-handed long knife, with a cold light shining on the blade.
He was taller than his thin stature. At this moment, Tuoba Shao was truly convinced that this old eunuch who had peed on him since he was a child was actually an absolute master.
Tuoba Shao gritted his teeth: "This sword is an ancestral possession of our Tuoba tribe. Only the leaders of past generations can keep it. Even a few days ago, when the late emperor killed those traitors, he also used this sword to kill them. Here.
At this time, I need the power of my ancestors and gods to protect me. Fortunately, if my father is still alive, he will definitely agree with me."
Laifu sighed and said in a low voice: "Your Majesty, you know clearly that it was the Madam who did it, but you still say this, aren't you afraid that your father's soul will really come to take revenge on you?"
Tuoba Shao smiled slightly: "I don't really believe this, I'm just making gestures to make people outside believe this. After all, if I hold the sword that has been passed down from generation to generation by the Tuoba clan, many people will think that I am the son of destiny.
After all, everyone has just seen the power of this sword two days ago."
Laifu smiled slightly: "Your Majesty is really witty and I admire him."
Tuoba Shao glanced at Laifu: "How long have you been with my mother? I still don't believe that you are an old spy."
Laifu said softly: "The old slave has been a secret guard of the Helan tribe for generations. When the princess was just born, I asked the old slave to take care of her like the king. She was selected as the tribe's witch since she was a child, and she is also the intelligence leader. I
I have followed her for decades and performed countless tasks for her, and protecting the king has been my only task over the years."
Tuoba Shao sighed: "It's really difficult for someone like you to carry the urinal for me all the time, but..." He looked at Fu's smooth chin and frowned slightly.
Laifu said sternly: "The Helan tribe has been so kind to me for generations, and I can't repay it. Tuoba Guien took revenge and attacked my Helan tribe. All my wives and children died in this war, so I can't help it."
I gave up all my thoughts and did not follow Leader Lu to Nanyan. Instead, I entered the palace and stayed with the king. I had only one purpose, which was to let the king, who has the blood of the Helan family, seize Tuoba Gui's treasure with his own hands.
In the world, this is the only best revenge!"
Tuoba Shao said sternly: "Uncle Laifu's sacrifice for our Helan clan is unforgettable. Now we have accomplished more than half of the important task. As long as we get through today smoothly, then this world will be mine. When the time comes,
I will definitely restore the reputation of the Helan tribe and avenge the people who died unjustly!"
Laifu smiled miserably: "All I thought about day and night was revenge, but when I saw that Tuoba Gui, my great enemy, died like this, just like when all ordinary people died, I immediately felt extremely empty.
, I have nothing else to think about now, I just hope that I can watch you grow up from childhood to be able to ascend the throne and rule the world, so that I have no other regrets."
Tuoba Shao's nose felt sore, and he was about to open his mouth to comfort him when there was a rush of footsteps outside. It seemed that many people were going up the steps, and the guard at the door said sternly: "Stop, the king has an order, no one is allowed."
Enter the palace!"
The footsteps stopped, and Cui Hao's voice sounded excitedly outside: "Your Majesty, I have something great to report to you."
Tuoba Shao perked up, stood up, and said loudly: "Guard Cui, if there is any good news, report it quickly!"
Cui Hao smiled and said: "There are more than one happy events. The first one is that the adults from all the tribes served the country loyally and kept their promises. After they returned to the tribe, they quickly calmed down the tribesmen and brought their personal guards with them to escort them back.
."
Tuoba Shao instinctively wanted to applaud, but Laifu on the other side said in a deep voice: "Wait a minute, Guard Cui, aren't the various ministers going to the warehouse to collect the silk? They also need to be loaded into trucks and transported out. Their tribes in the north of Pingcheng are scattered all over the place.
It takes at least three or four hours to go back and forth within a hundred miles, how can you come back so quickly?"
Cui Hao replied calmly: "Because all the ministers did not leave the city, they went to their respective mansions in the city. There were family members who had close relatives in the mansion, and asked these people to take the silks out of the city and return to the tribe to inform them of the situation in the city.
, and I gathered all the guards in the palace, ranging from fifty to sixty people per family, to as many as two to three hundred people, and they all gathered together to return to the palace to protect them."
Tuoba Shao looked happy and said to Laifu in a low voice: "It seems that the tribal leaders on the grassland don't want to be left behind in the process of conquering the dragon. Seeing that Han people like the Cui family have come to escort them,
They didn't want to arrive too late, otherwise their status would be reduced if they were rewarded for their merits afterwards. The Han people and civil servants all had dozens or hundreds of guards to guard the courtyard, and there would only be more tribal leaders who were former military generals.
."
Laifu whispered: "Even so, these people poured in with unpredictable purposes. Even the Cui family's own servants have not been put into the square now. I think these adults also let them stay temporarily."
Guard outside the palace and wait until Madam returns before making a decision."
Tuoba Shao nodded with satisfaction and said to the door: "Guard Cui, I will ask your father-in-law to pass on the edict and let the guards of King Qin from all the ministries and the guards of your family stay outside the palace for the time being, and wait for the mother and concubine to come back before making a decision.
What is the second happy event you mentioned?"
Cui Hao's voice was trembling with excitement, and he could not hide his excitement: "Uncle Sun Lielang and Tuoba Lielang have fulfilled their mission and have captured the big rebels Tuoba Si, An Tong, and Yu Lixi, just outside the square.
