Chapter 1041: A close call
This roar pulled Mu Yunhuan, who was on the verge of despair, back from the gate of hell.
Mu Yunhuan turned his head in disbelief and looked at the camp entrance, where the rumble of horse hooves was heard, and the figures of a large group of cavalry appeared in his field of vision.
The voice that sounded like thunder just now was very familiar to him. It was the voice of his uncle Tu Shanyan.
Tu Danlin, who was kneeling aside, also burst out with joy in his eyes, and couldn't help but murmured:
"There is help, there is help~"
At the entrance of the camp, a group of hundreds of cavalry rushed straight into the camp, not paying any attention to the strange looks from others.
The soldiers surrounding the gate of the camp scattered when they saw the Tudan flag fluttering in the wind. This was the military flag of the Tudan clan leader. No one dared to stop it.
These cavalrymen were not even wearing armor, but their aura was extremely breathtaking, and their cold eyes made ordinary infantrymen shudder.
The leader, Tu Shanyan, was wearing a blue robe, with a jade belt casually tied around his waist. Although his face was haggard, it did not affect the killing intent emanating from his body at all.
The cavalry quickly rushed in to meet the enemy and drove the soldiers away arrogantly, but Mu Yunduankang just watched all this silently without saying a word.
Tu Shanyan jumped out of the riding formation, looked around the messy open space and the corpses on the ground, his expression did not change at all, and finally turned to look at Mu Yunduankang, who was staring at him closely, and said:
"Why, did His Highness the Third have committed some heinous crime? Is it worthy of His Highness the Crown Prince to kill his own brothers?"
Mu Yunduankang's heart suddenly went cold, and he said coldly:
"Mu Yunhuan has collaborated with the enemy, how can I sit idly by and do nothing! The leader of the Tushan clan is also the pillar of my great dynasty, so there are some things that we cannot say casually!"
Although he was still tough in words, he knew that since Tu Shanyan was here, he could not expect to take Mu Yunhuan's life today.
Even though he was the crown prince of a country, he was not arrogant enough to take action against Tu Shanyan. He was a man who fought on the grassland with his father and had great prestige.
"Humph, collaboration with the enemy and treason."
Tu Shanyan sneered, took out a scroll from his arms and shouted:
"Imperial edict!"
"kneel!"
The soldiers and generals surrounding the open space knelt down one after another, burying their heads low one by one. Even Mu Yunduankang was stunned and had no choice but to kneel down along with everyone else.
Tu Shanyan didn't even open the scroll, he just shouted softly:
"Summon the Crown Prince Mu Yun Duankang and the Third Prince Mu Yunhuan to return to the king's tent!"
"I obey the order!"
"My son, I obey!"
Mu Yun Duankang, who was kneeling on the ground, gritted his teeth with hatred. How could this apprentice Shan Yan arrive in such time and bring the emperor's order? If he was given just a moment more time, Mu Yun Huan would be killed.
On the contrary, Tuoba Hong, who had always been frightened, breathed a sigh of relief, as long as Mu Yunhuan did not die in his camp.
As things have developed, it is no longer suspected of collaborating with the enemy, but more like a fight for the crown prince.
Tu Shanyan dismounted from his horse, walked to Mu Yunhuan's side, stretched out his hand to help him up, looked coldly at the captain next to him, Mu Yun Duankang's personal soldier, and said:
"Untie."
The captain frowned and did not move his hands. He just turned his head and looked at Mu Yun Duankang.
Although he knew Tu Shanyan's identity, he was under the orders of Mu Yun Duankang, and he would not let him go without the prince's instructions.
Just as Mu Yunduankang was about to speak, Tu Shanyan suddenly pulled out the sword from his waist and stabbed the captain in the chest. Blood splashed directly on Tu Shanyan's body, shocking everyone present.
.
The captain looked at Tu Shanyan with disbelief, and then his body slowly collapsed to the ground.
Some of the soldiers who were close were so frightened that they did not dare to move. Why did the leader of the Tushan clan kill people just when he said he was going to kill them?
Tu Shanyan didn't even look at the body on the ground, but casually untied the rope tied to Mu Yunhuan's body, and at the same time said calmly to Mu Yunduankang:
"His Royal Highness, according to my law of Dayan, anyone who uses weapons against the prince will kill the nine tribes. I am in a good mood today. I will only kill this one and forget about the nine tribes. What do you think?"
Mu Yunduankang's face turned livid with anger. He knew that Tu Shanyan was slapping him in the face in public, but there was nothing he could do.
He almost killed his nephew, so it would be impossible not to let him vent his anger.
"It's up to the clan leader to do what he wants, huh!"
Mu Yunduankang didn't want to stay here any longer, so he flicked his sleeves and left.
"Why are you so stunned? Untie me!" Tu Danlin, who had narrowly escaped death, glared at the soldier next to him.
The soldier trembled. With what he had just learned, he still dared to hesitate.
After the rope was untied, Mu Yunhuan's whole body seemed to have been drained of energy. His legs went weak and he almost fell to the ground. Fortunately, Tu Shanyan helped him.
"Uncle~" Mu Yunhuan pursed his lips, but didn't know what to say.
Tu Shanyan shook his head slightly, indicating that he didn't need to speak.
Just as the generals and soldiers in the field were about to leave, Tu Shanyan's loud shout reached their ears:
"Anyone who dares to reveal even a single word about today's events will be killed!"
…
The three of them returned to the tent together. The soldiers in the camp had already begun to clean up the battlefield. Because of Tu Shanyan's arrival, the siege of Mu Yunhuan's station had also dispersed.
Although many people died in this large-scale firefight, as long as Mu Yunhuan is still alive, it will be okay.
The frightened Mu Yunhuan lay on the chair and calmed down for a long time before saying:
"Thank you uncle! If uncle had come a moment later, Huan'er would have died."
Tu Shanyan shook his head: "We are all members of our own family, so there is no need to say these things. I just didn't expect Mu Yunduankang to be so crazy and really dare to kill."
Mu Yunhuan said with a cold face: "There is nothing he dare not do!"
"Brother, why did you come so fast? Have you received our letter?" Tu Danlin asked with a frown on the side.
When they noticed something unusual happened to Tuoba Hong, they sent a message urgently, but counting the days, the messenger only went there for seven or eight days, coming and going from the depths of the grassland, which was not enough time.
Tu Shanyan said with some joy:
"You two are lucky, His Majesty happened to be hunting south, only a few hundred miles away from the front line.
I bumped into the messenger on the way, otherwise you would have become Mu Yunduankang's target."
As soon as he received the letter, Tu Shanyan went to see Mu Yun Canglan, and after obtaining the imperial edict, he rushed to Tianlang Pass on a starry night. Several horses died along the way, so he rushed to the rescue at the last moment.
Two people got off.
Hearing this, both of them trembled involuntarily. Relationships only survived through good luck.
"Snapped!"
Mu Yunhuan slapped the table hard:
"Mu Yunduankang is really hateful. I will keep this revenge in my heart! If I don't avenge this, I swear I won't be a human being!"
"Be patient and don't be impatient."
A smile appeared on Tu Shanyan's face:
"I will meet with His Majesty this time to clarify the matter. It is Mu Yun Duankang who is at fault. Perhaps we can gain some practical benefits."
