Chapter 499: Tuoba Clan

Xixia originated from the clan alliance, in the early days of the founding of the People's Republic of China, there were more than 100 clans recorded on the genealogy of the Xixia country, after a hundred years of baptism, the existing clans have been less than 20, but these surviving are all big clans, among which the eight strongest clans are called the eight clans of Xixia, of which the top three are the Tuoba clan, the Yeli clan, the Wuzang clan, and only these three clans, are qualified to have a family mansion in Xingqing City.

At this time, the meeting hall of the Tuoba clan was brightly lit, sitting at the top was the patriarch of the Tuoba clan, when the dynasty was the commander Tuoba Ruisi, sitting on the left side of the head was the elder of the Tuoba clan, and sitting in the first place was Tuoba Rui, who was known as the "first master of Western Xia", but now the title of "the first master of Western Xia" has been hung on the head of Tuoba Rui, Tuoba Rui has retreated to the second, and next to him is the famous military advisor Tuoba Xu of Western Xia, who is known as the "strategist", and then down is the one-armed Tuoba Meng.

Sitting on the right-hand side are Tuoba Ruisi's sons, Tuoba Jinxiong's position has been replaced by Tuoba Yanbin, sitting under Tuoba Yanbin is the third son Tuoba Qiu and Tuoba Yu, Tuoba Wei sits in the middle of the second row, and the person who was captured by Wang Yansheng sits at the end of the first row.

"Father, I have transferred people to strictly guard the four gates, even if he has wings, he can't escape from Xingqing City!" Tuoba Yanbin waited for Tuoba Rising to finish speaking, and interjected. "I want to cut off his head with my own hands to avenge my eldest brother, if it weren't for his sneak attack, how could my eldest brother be defeated at his hands!"

"Don't be careless and underestimate the enemy, your eldest brother is inferior to others when he loses his hands, and his ability to defeat Wuzang Tuotuo and Xiao Xuance shows that his strength is extraordinary." There was a trace of resentment between Tuobarith's eyebrows, but he still calmly and earnestly admonished.

Tuoba Jinxiong is Tuoba Ruisi's most beloved son, and is also a well-cultivated successor of the next generation, Tuoba Jinxiong lives up to expectations, whether it is in martial arts or resourcefulness are very outstanding, this time there is no Tibetan clan to enter the Liang, Tuoba Ruisi sent Tuoba Jinxiong to go, is to go to gild and boil qualifications, according to normal development, Tuoba Jinxiong is in Liangzhou City, and there is elite protection in the clan around him, it should be foolproof, very safe, how do you think that he was cut off his head in the house, after investigation, he learned, The assassination of Tuoba Jinxiong was to intercept Zang Feng at the mouth of the gourd, and then led a lone army deep into Liangzhou to burn grain and grass, and killed several rising stars of Western Xia generals, named Wang Yan.

Tuobarith's first feeling when he heard this name was not because of the hatred of losing his beloved son, but because he felt a burst of shock, the rise and prosperity of a dynasty are led by people, the king can make the empire in the sky go to ruin, the rebels can overthrow a declining or even prosperous dynasty, in sixty years, the Western Xia has not plundered an inch of land from the Great Liang, it is because sixty years ago the Great Liang produced a great general Su Ding, twenty-five years ago, Su Ding died of illness in Luoyang, and the Western Xia contacted the surrounding countries to launch an attack on the Great Liang, The result was still beaten back, because the Liang had another general who was invincible in ten directions, and now there was a young general, who blocked the army that did not hide Zang Feng at the mouth of the gourd, killed several generals, and cut off the hand of the first Wuyong among the young people, and then went deep into the Western Xia, Tuoba Meng was cut off by his arm, Tuoba Wei was defeated by him, and then he was cut off by his life, and then his eldest son was stabbed to death by him in the bedroom, and then the 100,000 army attacked the first line of the sky, and he led the army to block outside the pass, Then the second prince was captured by him, and most of the women and children captured before were returned because of this, compared to the Western Xia Jian'er who died in Liangzhou, it was difficult to fill the ravine with gold and silver and women.

If such a person is in Western Xia, Tuoba Ruisi will definitely do whatever it takes to recruit him, give him the surname of Tuoba, and train him to be the patriarch of the Tuoba clan, at a young age, brave and resourceful, and most importantly, he is still a benevolent and courageous person, willing to risk himself for 30,000 irrelevant women and children, this kind of courage is rare in the world, such a talent, leading the race, the brilliant prospect can be expected.

But such a person is in Daliang, it is a terrible thing, if he is allowed to grow up, he will protect Daliang for decades, and at worst, he will be in danger of destroying the country in his neighboring countries.

"Yu'er, how is your investigation going?"

"Back to my father, I haven't found any trace of them." Tuoba Yu said with a gloomy face, he is in charge of the secret guard in the clan, responsible for intelligence collection and assassination and other affairs, since Wang Yan entered the territory of Western Xia, he has successively sent dozens of good hands to assassinate Wang Yan, but Wang Yan is good, but the killers sent to him have no news, and then sent back the news, the killers he sent were all killed, except for those few strong martial arts with traces of fighting, the mediocre martial arts were all sealed by a sword, last night, the four good hands sent to the post house to keep an eye were killed again, different from the previous sword killed, This time, all four people died of poisoning, and the wounds were all on the buttocks, and no murder weapon was found.

"Time is pressing, this matter is now handled by Elder Xu, and you are on your side." Tuobarith said in a deep voice.

"Father! Give me some more time, and I'll find out where those two are!" Tuoba Yu said eagerly.

"There's no time! The master of the sword is not to be feared, but the one who is terrible is the medicine fairy! ”

Tuoba Yu's expression was distorted, he gritted his teeth, slowly lowered his head, and did not answer Tuobarith's words.

"Fourth brother! Time is pressing, this is not the time to be rash, killing Wang Yan is not only to avenge the eldest brother, but also to remove hidden dangers for Great Xia, you should take this opportunity to learn more from Elder Xu! ”

Tuoba Yanbin's voice was gentle to Tuoba Yudao, the corners of his mouth rose slightly, and his smile was very warm, since Tuoba Jinxiong's death, Tuoba Yanbin was like a different person, and he was cheerful.

Tuoba Yu didn't pay attention to Tuoba Yanbin, still keeping his head down, his long hair shrugged on both sides, blocking his face.

..

The prince of Western Xia is not like the prince of Daliang who will be a fief of the king and become a prince after he becomes an adult, because there is a precedent of the prince's rebellion in the history of Western Xia, so the Western Xia no longer implements the feudal system, except for the prince, the prince will be divided into a large courtyard in Xingqing City after adulthood, and then live as a nobleman, the royal family will issue a monthly allowance to ensure the food and clothing of the prince's mansion, there are not many examples, throw away food and drink, and the money that can be used to enjoy is actually not much, so if you want to live a good life, you need to fight for it.

Although the emperor restricted the rights of the prince, he also allowed the prince to fight for the rights, so the prince of Western Xia could enter the court as an official, and he could enter the camp as a general, even if he was a farmer or a merchant, the emperor did not interfere, but he could never leave Gyeongju, and if the prince left Gyeongju without the emperor's consent, he would become a traitor and be arrested and returned to Xingqing City and sentenced to death.

The battle for the crown prince in Western Xia is also quite fierce, the prince may not be the emperor in the future, the emperor acquiesces in the fight between the princes, and has an encouraging attitude, so since the founding of the Western Xia, there are few examples of the prince becoming the emperor safely, assassination, framing, almost become the norm, all capable princes will challenge the prince, after all, before the prince becomes the emperor, every prince has a chance.

The thirteenth prince sat alone on the chair in the study, with a vicious expression and gently tapped the table with his fingers, and on the opposite bed, a young girl covered the embarrassing part with her hand, and her face was slightly pale.
