The sky was slightly bright, and the people in Liangzhou City got up one after another.

This is not the case on a normal day.

Usually on such a cold day, everyone goes out very late.

But today is the third day of December, Wusun's annual horse riding festival.

Just after the hour, the entire Liangzhou City was boiling.

The Wusun people who lived in Liangzhou City all put on national costumes and spontaneously came to the street to send the treasure of Wusun's clan out of the city.

The usual horse festival is that the Great Khan of Wusun takes the wolf to the Shilipo outside the city of Liangzhou, and after the sacrifice is completed, the wolf is placed at the highest place of the altar until the end of the horse festival.

Now the whereabouts of the He Yue family are unknown, and the supreme commander of Wusun is King Tu Rui.

Only King Tu Rui could send the Heavenly Wolf to Shilipo outside the city.

The Wusun people in the city all went to the streets to send the wolf out of the city.

The Han people in the city get up early in the morning to buy things.

Where there is a gathering, there is eating, drinking, and Lazar.

The Han people seized this opportunity to earn some pocket money.

People on the street, even children come in handy.

Bring a small stove to a boil before it is full, and put it in a small tin kettle.

If you don't want a small tin kettle, drink the water and send it back to the tin kettle, if you want to drink it, you can refill the water for free.

Many of the Wusun people who stand on the street and wait will buy a small tin pot in their hands and hold it in their hands, mostly to warm their hands.

I don't know who shouted, "Here it is." ”

The people who were standing on the street in no order, after hearing this, automatically gave way to both sides of the street.

"Boom-"

"Boom-"

"Boom-"

The earth-shattering sound of cowhide drums came one after another.

Everyone's eyes brushed in unison in the direction where the voice came.

Two teams of guards from the palace of Tu Rui. The neatly dressed Wusun people rode in horseback costumes and walked quickly with neat and heavy steps, isolating the onlookers on both sides of the street from the wolf.

After a while, with the sound of a sheep's horn, a four-horse carriage carrying the wolf slowly approached.

The onlookers of Wusun instantly boiled like a boiling oil pot.

"Wolf, wolf, wolf......"

The shouts were heard for a while.

King Tu Rui, dressed in a pro-dynasty uniform, rode a high-headed red horse and followed behind the carriage carrying the wolf. He was followed all around by his hand-picked warriors. Slowly walk in the direction of the city gate.

King Tu Rui himself knew that there were many people in Wusun who were dissatisfied with him now, so he would be extra careful whenever he came out.

Behind King Tu Rui, sitting in the warm car of a bright canopy and pearl jade was naturally King Tu Rui's only daughter, Danzhen.

At this time. I don't know who shouted: "The horses that pull the wolf are not of the same color, can't we Wusun even find four horses of the same color?" ”

"Keep a good horse for the Han court to make a New Year's gift!" I don't know who answered from afar.

This aroused the anger of the Wusun people.

Then many people chimed in, and the sound was as strong as a burst.

They shouted and accused King Tu Rui of rising.

King Tu Rui didn't take it seriously at first, but he saw that the fire of anger was burning more and more in the hearts of the Wusun people. He couldn't help but shout: "Bold, who dares to hinder the Heavenly Wolf from going out of the city?" ”

But his shouting did not suppress the anger of the crowd at all. His voice was soon drowned out by the angry shouts of the crowd.

King Tu Rui couldn't help but be furious.

And the Wusun people on both sides can also collide with the barrier of the guards on the side of the road.

Seeing that what was originally a very sacred thing was about to evolve into a civil uprising, King Tu Rui was a little panicked.

At this time, a little girl got out of the warm car in the back. Came to King Tu Rui's horse and whispered a few words to King Tu Rui.

King Tu Rui's face was a little hesitant at first, but after a while, his face sank. waved her hand to let the little girl go down.

He put his feet on the stirrups and stood up on the horse. shouted at the excited crowd: "The people of Wusun listen to me, this year I did not prepare a New Year's gift for the court of the Han Dynasty, let alone keep the good horses for the emperor of the Han Dynasty, but left the best horses to the warriors who participated in the Horse Festival this year. ”

After listening to King Tu Rui's shout, everyone seemed to believe it or not, and looked at each other, not knowing what to do next.

I only heard King Tu Rui say again: "Don't delay the Heavenly Wolf out of the city, otherwise it will be extremely unlucky for our entire Wusun clan to miss the hour." ”

As soon as these words came out, everyone fell silent.

The shouting just now stopped shouting, and the crowd of onlookers gradually fell silent.

The carriage carrying the wolf was able to continue moving forward.

King Tu Rui also breathed a sigh of relief.

With the wolf out of the city, the people of Wusun also crowded out of the city gate, and there were also Han people who had good things to go out of the city to see the excitement.

The entire Liangzhou City seemed to have been hollowed out all at once, and it was empty in an instant, without the lively atmosphere just now.

At this time, a black shadow flashed and jumped into the palace of Tu Rui Wang.

At this time, the Tu Rui Palace, like Liangzhou City, became empty after King Tu Rui and Danzhen left the city, leaving only a few old and weak guards to guard the door.

In addition, King Tu Rui and Danzhen are not there, and the subordinates in the house are also going to have fun, how can anyone be willing to be on duty on the throne.

Don't say it's one person, even if a few more people enter, no one may find out.

King Tu Rui's escort of the Sky Wolf walked slowly,

In addition, there were accompanying people, and it took an hour to walk from Liangzhou City to the ten-mile slope outside the city.

By the time they reached the altar, it was already the beginning of time.

At this time, the Wusun people who lived outside the city were already waiting here early, and they couldn't help but cheer when they saw the carriage carrying the sky wolf coming from afar.

Ulan and Muzhu were among them.

Seeing the wolf approaching little by little, their mood suddenly became excited.

Seeing the scene in front of him, King Tu Rui temporarily left behind the unhappiness when he left the city just now, and raised his arms and shouted at the crowd.

When he reached the bottom of the altar, King Tu Rui jumped off his horse.

Personally removed the Sirius from the carriage.

The wolf was selected from the wolves hunted by the Wusun people back then. As long as every Wusun tribesman feels that he is hunting, he can sacrifice to the Wusun Khan.

Now there is no Wusun Great Khan, so it can only be sent to the Turui Palace.

If King Tu Rui determines that it is a celestial wolf, and if he is chosen, King Tu Rui will compensate the hunter for the hunt with ten cows.

If the wolf is selfish, it will be expelled to the border of the steppe when it is known. Never again be close to the fertile grasslands around Liangzhou City.

So the average Wusun hunter hits the wolf. He won't stay by himself, he will take it to Tu Rui Wangfu first, only Tu Rui Wangfu said that it is not a heavenly wolf. They can take it home for themselves, or make their own wolf bones for offerings, or take them to the market and sell them.

The wolf that can be selected as a celestial wolf is very strict, and he can't help but be physically strong. And there can be no obvious trauma.

There are special people who make the selected wolves into incorruptible wolf corpses, and the most difficult thing to be a wolf is to make the dead wolves as if they were alive. This requires a high level of skill.

The finished wolf is guarded for 100 days by the leader of the Wusun tribe, and is burned on the altar to the ancestors of Wusun on the day of the horse riding festival.

In the eyes of the Wusun people, this is the best gift from the descendants of Wusun to their ancestors.

King Tu Rui carefully placed the wolf on the pyre that had been set up on the altar.

The wolf had just been put away, and there was a loud bang from somewhere. The entire altar was instantly covered in smoke.

King Tu Rui, who was still on the altar, waved his hands indiscriminately, trying to disperse the smoke that blocked his vision. But it took a while for the smoke to clear up.

When he saw the qiē in front of him clearly, he couldn't help but be stunned.

The wolf he had just laid out. There was only a wolf bone shelf left.

The people under the altar were also in an uproar.

"Bad omen, this is a big bad omen!" There was an old Wusun member in the audience who couldn't help but cry loudly.

After listening to his words, the others couldn't help but be full of fear, yes, such a thing happened during the sacrifice, it really can't be regarded as a good omen.

This elaborate celestial wolf has not been burned to the ancestors, and it has become like this, isn't it the greatest disrespect to the ancestors.

Why is this happening? How so?

The Wusun people who were watching under the altar couldn't help but whisper.

"We must have done something wrong, this is a warning from our ancestors."

"What we have done wrong, we abide by the rules set by the ancestors of Wusun, and never do anything against the will of our ancestors."

"Yes, why did the ancestors do this to us."

"Why is it that our group is doing something wrong, isn't it a mistake that King Tu Rui gives the things that raise Wusun's children and grandchildren to the big Han every day? Maybe it was because of this that the ancestors were angered. ”

As soon as these words came out, many people followed suit.

"It must have been because of this incident that the ancestors were angered."

"Hit King Tu Rui—"

I don't know who shouted that.

Behind them, shouts sounded one after another to hit King Tu Rui.

King Tu Rui, who was standing on the altar, was at a loss for a while, and the warriors he brought out hurriedly jumped on the altar and tightly surrounded him in the middle.

The big pawns and pawns who came out to worship together did not dare to anger the people, and no one dared to come forward and say anything, for fear that this disaster would lead to them.

Danzhen, who was sitting in the wooden cart and did not come out, listened to the shouts outside, her face was also full of nervousness, she stood on the carriage and looked at the people under the altar, as if a few people shouted very hard,

Someone must have premeditated this.

But now she couldn't come closer, and she couldn't get advice for her father.

She jumped out of the carriage and ordered her guards to evacuate the crowd, and she dragged a horse up to the city, where she was to move her troops to the city

Danzhen rode back to the city, but before he arrived at Turui Wangfu, he saw smoke coming out in the direction of the palace, as if it was on fire.

She hurriedly whipped up, and after she arrived at the palace, she was dumbfounded for a hundred years, it was really Tu Rui's palace.

Tu Rui's palace was on fire, and she was even more convinced that someone had premeditated it, which was to take away her father's right to rule Wusun?

Now that she can't get the talisman, and there is no way to transfer troops, wouldn't her father be very dangerous.

What should I do about this?

The development of things did not meet Danzhen's expectations, and the angry people began to rush towards the guards surrounding King Tu Rui, without King Tu Rui's order, those guards did not dare to act rashly, but at this time, King Tu Rui was shocked to find that he didn't know when, he couldn't speak.

At this time, King Tu Rui suddenly woke up - the smoke just now was poisonous, this was not a good omen, it was someone who had premeditated to harm him.

Who is it, and who is it against him?

Whether it's the big left or the right.

Before King Tu Rui could figure it out, he was already stumbling into the hands of the angry people.

The guards around him saw that King Tu Rui had lost the hearts of the people so much, and they didn't know what to do, but they just held weapons in their hands and looked at the clansmen who rushed in stunned.

"Kill King Tu Rui and re-elect King Khan—"

"Kill King Tu Rui and re-elect King Khan—"

The shouts of the Wusun people shook the heavens and the earth.

King Tu Rui felt a sharp throbbing pain in his heart, a mouthful of blood spurted out, and his stout body fell to the ground with a bang.

The guards who had been surrounding him all gave way to a circular clearing.

The scene fell silent in an instant.

For a while, the needle drop could be heard.

King Tu Rui lay on the ground and was panting rapidly at first, but after a while, his breath became weaker and weaker, and finally he lost any life, but his eyes and mouth were big, and he seemed to have unfinished words.

Everyone looked at King Tu Rui who fell to the ground, and they didn't know what to do for a while.

The left big danghu fearless and the right big danghu Mu Tuo jumped on the altar almost at the same time.

But the two of them looked at each other, but neither of them spoke.

At this time, if any of them stood up to live in the affairs of the clan, and whoever was the one who planned to kill King Turui, then the people of King Turui's family would definitely be enemies of him.

After a long time, the people of Wusun will also think that today's incident is probably not the condemnation of the ancestors, but the planning of someone.

At this time, Helian Gu, who was standing behind the crowd, looked at Rong Yi, who seemed to be watching not far away, the corners of his mouth raised, smiled, and immediately pushed aside the crowd and walked onto the altar.

He took a wooden sign from his waist and held it high, shouting, "Look at what I have in my hand?" ”

A moment after he raised the wooden sign in his hand, an old man said, "This is like a wooden card entering and exiting the Great Tent of the Khan." You see, there is also an eagle with wings outstretched engraved on it, yes, it is a wooden sign that enters and exits the Great Tent of the King of Khan. Are you a descendant of King Heyue Khan? ”

Helian Gu shook his head and said with a bitter face: "My name is Helian Gu, I am not a descendant of King Khan, I am a guard who used to serve in front of King Khan, I translated the name of King Khan to find the descendants of He Yue, and finally found it eleven years ago!" ”

After he finished speaking, the scene remembered the "buzzing" discussion.

Mu Tuo looked at the calm fearlessness on his face, and sneered: "No wonder you let Helian Gu live in your mansion, it is really a clever plan." (To be continued)
