Chapter Twenty-Six: Expedition to Pingliang

Destiny...... If there really is a so-called fate of human beings, then since the wheel of fate has begun to turn, everyone has been born, separated, died, and parted in the process of fate, and with the rotation of the wheel of fate, it can never stop!

A thousand corpses were neatly stacked on a large pile of firewood and straw, and Murong Tuoba threw the torch on it with an expressionless face. The firewood and grass doused with fire oil ignited in an instant, and the fire engulfed the corpse. Turquoise smoke rose into the sky and was dispersed by the howling north wind.

Countless Donghu people watched the smoke rise and then disperse as if they were seeing the silence of a person's soul. The priests jumped and jumped around them, and the souls of the dead could return to their hometowns.

At first, it was just firewood and grass burning, and then there were pine trees with big roots. The pine resin and the roasted human oil dripped in large drops in the orange flames. Make the fire more ferocious, and the corpses will be consumed faster.

One corpse curled up, slowly turning to charcoal. Then it turned into gray-white ashes, and the snow on the ground was roasted into streams that meandered downward. Sometimes, people can even see some black ash in the muddy water.

Murong Tuoba and Lao Jiang didn't speak, their faces were cold, and Murong Dan didn't find it in the end. This also means that Donghu could not complete the marriage with the Xiongnu. It is even more impossible to ask for the help of the Huns, without the help of the Huns. They had no way out. I can only bite the bullet and hit the solid city wall of Pingliang.

The flames were extinguished, and the bodies had been reduced to ashes. Their loved ones began to come forward to collect them, and although it was no longer certain whether it was their loved one's ashes, it didn't matter anymore. As long as you keep a little thought, maybe one day you will return to Xing'anling. According to the traditional Donghu custom, they will find an old locust tree and bury the ashes of the deceased under the tree. Let your relatives be able to return to their hometown.

"Choking" Murong Tuoba pulled out the sword at his waist, and the tip of the sword reached the sky. shouted loudly: "Donghu survives to fight here, for Donghu to attack." With his order, hundreds of thousands of fierce Donghu knights blew towards Pingliang City like the wind.

*****************************************

The reason why Yun Yue didn't let Murong Dan go back was not because she wanted to leave Murong Dan behind. It's because he and Murong Dan are both sick.

Lying in a mountain crevice for a day and a night, plus to scare off those small rodent creatures. Both of them threw their clothes into the fire, and were pulled up by the breeze and then whipped by the breeze. If you don't catch a cold, you're out of the way!

In the Warring States period, a cold can really kill people. Murong Dan's face flushed in the cabin, and at first Yun Yue just thought that she was still shy. But after drinking a bowl of ginger soup and sweating, Yun Yue felt that something was wrong. Murong Dan's face became more and more flushed, and his expression was a little dazed. Reaching out and touching his forehead, it was terrible hot. This is obviously a symptom of a high fever, and Yun Yue can't take care of resting. Hurriedly put people into the carriage and galloped all the way back to Pingliang.

Fortunately, they were not found by the tens of thousands of Donghu troops. Otherwise, Yun Yue may not be able to come out even if she thinks of it. His five hundred guards had been looking for two days in the mountains, and their physical strength was seriously overdrawn. How can you deal with tens of thousands of Donghu iron cavalry, I am afraid that I will be killed by a single charge.

The wind and dust returned to Pingliang, and Yun Yue also felt a little lightheaded. But finally his body bones are still strong, pinching his nose and drinking a few pairs of decoction prescribed by Bian Que. After sweating, it seems to be much better.

It's just that Murong Dan's condition seems to be more serious, and the whole person has fallen into a coma. His teeth were clenched tightly, and he couldn't even feed the decoction. The body was even more frightening, and the helpless Yun Yue could only let Xia Ju use high-concentration steamed wine to help him cool down physically.

"If you can't drink the decoction, you can't do it, so let me feed her the medicine mouth-to-mouth." After speaking, Yun Yue picked up a bowl of soup and medicine, and was ready to take a sip and feed Murong Dan mouth-to-mouth. As soon as he wanted to implement it, he was snatched up by Xia Ju.

"She's so sick, what if she gives it to her husband?" Let me do it anyway. took a sip of the decoction, and then fed Murong Dan mouth-to-mouth. In fact, Yun Yue wanted to say, let's do it with me. However, when he saw Zhang Jia's meaningful eyes, he gave up this tempting idea.

"The husband will follow the concubine!" Zhang Jia walked to Yun Yue's side, she knew that Yun Yue didn't like her very much. But this does not delay Zhang Jia from liking Yun Yue, Her Royal Highness the princess who has lived in the court of Qi since she was a child, is not generally picky about her mate selection criteria. Not only to govern martial arts, but also to be a genius. Now it seems that Yun Yue is the only young talent who meets the requirements.

Besides, his belly is still angry, not only successfully pregnant, but also gave birth to a big fat son to Yun Yue. Mother is more precious than son, this is the eldest son of the Yun family. In the future, he will inherit the family business. And she, Zhang Jia, will inevitably be the future female helmsman of the Yun family.

The two walked aside, and Zhang Jia called Lao Jiang who was standing on the side and said, "You tell Master Hou about the matter." ”

Yun Yue looked at Lao Jiang suspiciously, this old guy didn't seem to have this appearance towards Li Si and Wei Fang. What kind of means did Zhang Jia use, he actually trained this old killer to be like a pug.

Seeing Yun Yue's suspicious eyes, Lao Jiang said: "After the news of Master Hou's disappearance came back, Madame made a plan with Wei Fangzi and Mr. Li Si. pretended to quarrel with the two gentlemen, and then asked the two gentlemen to pretend to be dissatisfied with the lady. Sure enough, someone came to lobby the two gentlemen that night.

The one who lobbied Mr. Wei Fang was Guo Huan, the colonel of the Flag Guards, who was originally the deputy general of General Wang Qian. And it was his student who lobbied Mr. Lees, whose name was Mao Jia. He is currently serving as Cao Guan of the Ministry of Civil Affairs, in charge of Pingliang grain collection.

Lao Yu interrogated Mao Jia, and they all obeyed the orders of Qiandu Gong beside the king, and after his identification, twenty-three co-defendants were brought out. They are all people who serve in the government, but there are no military generals involved. Lao Yu estimated that the people who were lurking in the military were all contacted by Guo Huan. Please ask Master Hou if you want to torture that Guo Huan as well. Guo Huan entrusted Wang Jian with his blessing, because Wang Jian and Yun Yue are friends. His lieutenant, Yun Yue will naturally give some face. In the face of such a person, Lao Jiang can only lock him up first, and only ask for instructions after Yun Yue returns.

"Guo Huan......" Yun Yue gritted her teeth, Wang Jian wanted to give face. But the moles in the Pingliang army must also be dug up, otherwise these will be time bombs in the future. It's rare for Zhang Jia to come up with such an idea, this time he must uproot Qiandu's forces in Pingliang.

"You can be punished, but you can't be killed. Wang Qian's face still has to be given. ”
