Wei and Jin cooks

Kezuhun Falcon was so frightened that he rolled over. The guards behind him immediately went to help block it. However, many people were killed and dismounted by this formation like him. After they fell to the ground, the cavalry behind them were also affected. They fell on their backs and were saved with short swords. If you are not in time, you can only shoot arrows...

As soon as they met, three people on Mrs. Zao's side were killed and three were seriously injured. Mrs. Zao was also seriously injured. The knife on her left arm was so deep that the bones were visible, but she just cut off a piece of clothes with the knife, tied it up quickly, and then held it with both hands. Dao shouted, "Kill!"

The remaining people formed a formation of three again, shouted loudly, and charged forward.

Mrs. Zao chopped off the adjutant's head with a knife and kicked her in front of Kezuhun Falcon.

But Ashun Falcon was startled and took two steps back under the protection of the guards. He was furious and said, "Kill her!"

"I am the wife of the great king and the biological mother of the great prince. Let me see who of you dares!" Mrs. Zao shouted, holding a knife: "If you want to get past me and chase my son, you have to step over my body!"

The entourage following Mrs. Zao also shouted loudly: "Back off, back off!"

"Father and son quarrel, but their blood is connected. There will always be reconciliation. They are a family. Do you want to get involved in the king's family affairs?"

The guards retreated quietly after hearing this.

Seeing this, Kezuhun Falcon pushed away the person who was protecting him and moved forward, standing opposite Mrs. Zao, "The eldest prince disobeyed the king, and the gods cannot tolerate it. The king personally ordered the eldest prince to be killed. You are just a deposed woman. If you get out of the way, I will spare your life, otherwise, I will kill you without mercy!"

Mrs. Zao sneered again and again, "I am the wife that Amu personally selected for the king. I followed him to take care of Shengle City. I followed him from Shengle to Bingzhou and accompanied him to conquer Dai County. This Dai County is half of mine!"

Kezuhun Falcon said sinisterly: "You can keep this for yourself and talk to the Lord of Hell underground."

Having said that, he took the lead in attacking, and the two sides fought together instantly.

Thirteen people were surrounded in the middle. No matter how powerful they were, they were gradually exhausted under the constant attacks.

Half an hour later, people around her fell down one after another. Mrs. Zao finally couldn't hold on any longer. She couldn't dodge and was severely slashed on the back. She was also stabbed on the leg. She half-knelt on the ground with a thump. They are all corpses, including her people and more of the other party's people.

The attendant who fell next to him still had a breath left, and slowly crawled towards her, wanting to stay by her side...

Mrs. Zao spat out the blood in her mouth with a "poof" sound, raised her bloody face and smiled at Kezuhun Falcon, and said softly: "It's impossible for you to catch up with my son."

But Zuhun Falcon stepped forward with a livid face, put the knife across her neck, and sneered: "Do you think I am the only one pursuing you? The king asked Fei Ying to send the message, and the soldiers in front will also stop him. He Don’t even think about crossing the river and returning to Xinping City.”

There was no fear in Mrs. Zao's eyes, only belief, "I believe in my son, he has two horses."

After saying that, Mrs. Zao finally couldn't hold on any longer, her eyes slowly closed, but not completely, and she stared ahead with half-open eyes.

A soldier who joined the army carefully stepped forward to check her breathing, and was shocked, "General, she is dead."

When the attendant who was still breathing on the ground heard the words, his squirming hands stopped, his head rested on his arm, his head dropped, and he died.

Everyone looked at the fallen body in the middle in silence, slightly lowering their eyes in respect.

Even though Kezuhun Falcon was angry and failed to complete the task, he couldn't help but admire their courage at this time. After putting away his knife, he said: "Collect their bodies and bring them back to Pingcheng."

"Aren't we going to chase the eldest prince?"

"He has been running for so long, and there is a man and two horses. Can we catch up? Don't worry, there are people blocking them in front, so they can't escape."

Tuoba Sixth Cultivator ran desperately to Xinping City. He inherited his father's military talent. The wind blew his cheeks, causing the tears on his face to condense. He became calmer and calmer, and his brain became more and more calm. Clearly, the incident happened suddenly, why did the pursuers come so quickly? They were all cavalrymen with one person and two horses.

He did it on purpose, deliberately letting Tuoba Biyan anger him, just to kill him legitimately.

So, are there any checkpoints ahead?

Tuoba Liuxiu subconsciously did not think about his mother, leaving his subordinates behind and turned directly at the fork in the road ahead.

The people following him shouted in surprise, "Prince!"

"There are defenses ahead, let's go another way!"

Tuoba Sixth Cultivator planned to take a small road back instead of going through the checkpoint.

Did Tuoba Yilu think he had only one way back to Xinping City?

He was able to build Xinping City in just two years because he was recognized by the people on that land. Whether they were herdsmen or farmers, they all recognized him as their master.

Tuoba Yilu has been too proud these years. He has forgotten that the people who are most familiar with this land must be the people who have lived on this land for generations.

Tuoba Liuxiu learned that there is another way back to Xinping City, which is a road often taken by herdsmen to avoid officers and soldiers.

But Zuhun Falcon brought back the bodies of Mrs. Zao and others, but did not catch Tuoba Sixth Cultivator. This made Tuoba Yilu very angry. He immediately summoned all his staff and tribal spokespersons and denounced Tuoba Sixth Cultivator for disrespecting him, being unfilial to him, and killing him. Brothers, someone called the names of two people and said, "Go to Xinping City in person and order him to come to Pingcheng to see me immediately."

Just as the two officials were about to agree, Sun Yan on the side expressed his objection. He was the leader of the Sun tribe and was puzzled and dissatisfied with Tuoba Yilu's behavior. "Your Majesty, you will leave for Luoyang the day after tomorrow. At this time, I will summon you." The eldest prince is already too late."

"Let him shut up in Pingcheng and think about his mistakes. I will punish him when I come back."

Sun Yan frowned, "His mother is dead, I'm afraid he will resent the third prince. You are not in Pingcheng, so you shouldn't summon him at this time."

Of course Tuoba Yilu knew, but he knew even more that at this time, Tuoba Sixth Cultivator would not dare to come.

He has decided that when he goes to Luoyang this time, he will use this as an excuse to completely depose this son and then make his younger son the heir apparent.

Wei Xiong obviously understood what he meant, and after sighing, he stepped forward and said, "Your Majesty, although Mrs. Zao has been deposed, she is the mother of the eldest prince after all. She has been with you for many years. Now that she is killed, she should be buried with a good burial."

His king has decided to be partial to the end. Since he can't be persuaded, he can only try his best to deal with the aftermath so that Tuoba Yilu will not suffer more resentment.

Mrs. Zao was born in the Yinalou clan, and Tuoba Yilu used Jin people to govern the tribe. After Chineseization, she was called the Lou clan. Therefore, Mrs. Zao’s full name was Lou Zao, also called Yinarou Zao. Their tribe was annexed by Tuoba Yilu During the unification, they suffered huge losses and their power became smaller and smaller, but no matter how small they were, the Lou clan was deeply rooted in the Xianbei people.

Xianbei women are more likely to participate in politics, which is one of the reasons why Tuoba Yilu never questioned Zhao Hanzhang's proclaimed emperor.

Therefore, Mrs. Zao is very prestigious in the Lu family, and even many Xianbei tribes respect and love her because she is Tuoba Yilu's first wife and the mother of his first child.

If Tuoba Yilu doesn't handle this matter well, the Xianbei tribe that he finally unified will probably fall apart again.

You know, Madam Zao has followed him since his first tour to the west to conquer various tribal countries. More than thirty countries and tribes recognize Madam Zao.

He deposed her, but the time was too short, and the news had not yet been announced to the tribes.

Wei Xiong hoped to use this to alert Tuoba Yilu and make him temporarily give up dealing with Tuoba Liuxiu.

But Tuoba Yilu couldn't even listen to Sun Yan's straightforward advice at this time, let alone Wei Xiong's insinuations?

This time, he planned to leave his second son, Tuoba Pusugen, to guard Pingcheng. Together with his capable subordinates, even if Tuoba Liuxiu wanted to rebel, he would not be able to do it.

And he took Tuoba Biyan to Luoyang.

Regarding his two think tanks, Tuoba Yilu thought for a while and decided to take Jidan to Luoyang and let Wei Xiong stay in Pingcheng.

In a real fight, with the bravery of the second son and the wisdom of Wei Xiong, Tuoba Sixth Cultivator has nothing to fear.

In the end, Tuoba Yilu did not say how Mrs. Zao would be buried, but directly had her body delivered to the yard where she once lived.

Her servants were still waiting in the yard for arrangements.

She was deposed so suddenly that none of her servants dealt with her.

Because Tuoba Yilu kicked her out immediately after deposing her, these people had no time to follow.

We haven't seen each other for just one day. He was clearly deposed yesterday, so why did he die today?

The servants who followed Mrs. Zao were crying bitterly. When they were burying her, they saw that there were eighteen stab wounds on her body, and they were filled with anger and hatred.

The servants put her into the most beautiful clothes, hung her favorite jewelry on her body, pooled their money to buy her a better coffin, and then brought all her usual utensils.

Tuoba Yilu didn't allow them to cry loudly, so they could only suppress their cries and then quietly carry the coffin and the buried things out of the city.

The tombs of the Xianbei people are buried in clan units, but Mrs. Zao was deposed and could no longer be buried in the Tuoba family. She had to find a place outside the city to be buried.

The servants sold their belongings and pooled their money to buy fifteen thin coffins. They also collected the fifteen warriors and buried them around Mrs. Zao.

They put the burial objects they brought out into the burial pit, and then burned all the burial clothes, porcelain, wooden basins, etc. in a fire, and then buried them with soil.

Looking at these sixteen small mounds, the servants looked at each other, their eyes gradually became firm, and they returned to the palace together in silence.

The stewards of the palace also accepted them calmly and did not think they would dare to run away if they were let out of the city.

Because Tuoba Yilu was very strict and his usage was severe.

How strict is it?

Sometimes I see people walking in the wilderness with their families and very little luggage. If they go up and ask where they are going, they will tell the person asking, "Go and die!"

He used the method so harshly that he sentenced a whole family to death. No one dared to escape. Instead, they had to take the initiative to go to the execution ground to receive death.

Sometimes food and supplies had to be transported during a war, and if one person delayed the deadline, the entire tribe would be executed.

These servants returned to the palace honestly. The stewards of the palace must not have known that their families and tribes were not in Pingcheng, but at the residence of the eldest prince in Xinpingcheng.

See you tomorrow
