The two princes will not give up the fat to their mouths, and they will take this opportunity to dismember the entire Thunder Ox Division, dividing all the land and population.

For Niu Lingxiao, this is also a win.

As long as Tianhao can't get it, it is equivalent to enhancing the strength of his side.

"Then vote!" The King of the Fierce Bull smiled: "Those who oppose Niu Tianhao becoming the acting patriarch of the Thunder Cow Clan, please raise your hand." ”

The Ox King did not designate an heir, the status of the prince and the patriarch was equal, and although the status of the great master was transcendent, he had to focus on the overall situation at this time, and he was also just an ordinary participant. Whether Niu Lingxiao or anyone else, they all have the right to express their opinions and put forward initiatives.

Niu Zhenfeng, the king of bulls, raised his right hand almost at the same time as Niu Lingxiao.

The speed at which the eldest prince Niu Weizhan raised his hand was not slow, his attitude was resolute, and the muscles of his arms stretched upwards were strong and full of strength.

Yuan Meng and Zong Yu looked at each other, and they all focused their eyes on the second prince.

The Great Master turned around and looked in the same direction as them.

Tianhao kept looking at Niu Lingxiao, and from his point of view, he didn't need to turn around, and he could catch a glimpse of the second prince's movements from the corner of his eyes. Despite some strangeness, Tianhao remained silent. The dull mood became relaxed, and then there was surprise and doubt, and without any worries, he slowly turned his body and looked at Niu Weifang who was sitting next to the great master.

He sat in a lazy manner, as unorthodox as a gentleman. With his feet crooked together, his legs apart to form a loop, his back leaning on the chair seemed to have no bones, and it was soft and uninspiring, and his two arms hung on both sides of the armrests of the chair, shaking gently.

"Three were against it, and the remaining five were in favor...... Hehe......" The second prince laughed, speaking softly, but with undisguised sarcasm.

Niu Lingxiao couldn't help but shudder, and there was a chill in his voice: "Second Highness, you...... Approve of Niu Tianhao becoming the acting patriarch of the Thunder Niu Tribe? ”

Although the situation was obvious, Niu Lingxiao felt extremely unwilling, and he had to get an accurate answer from Niu Weifang's mouth.

The eldest prince Niu Weizhan also immediately joined the questioning ranks. A wave of anger rose up on his rough face, and a violent roar echoed in the empty side hall: "Second brother, you shouldn't be confused, right? There are more than 200,000 people in the Lei Niu Division, and half of each of us is not a small number. ”

Niu Weifang glanced at his brother with an angry face, smiled disdainfully, turned his head, and his eyes fell on Tianhao who was standing in front of him.

"I don't think anyone can do it better than him." The second prince put away his joking expression and became serious and serious: "We must respect the law, since Niu Weibang entrusted the clan to him before he died, and gave him a token, it means that there is no problem in the entire process of power transfer, not to mention that there are so many people at the scene to prove it...... Ladies and gentlemen, the gods tell us to be honest, and since the facts are in front of us, why should we pretend not to see them and deny them? ”

This shift was unexpected. Niu Lingxiao felt unbelievable, he felt that the words said by the second prince completely subverted the familiar image in his mind. In essence, Niu Weifang and himself are the same kind of people, who value interests and do whatever it takes to achieve their goals. But why did he make such a choice at this time?

Don't...... Did you look away by yourself before?

Just thinking about it, the second prince Niu Weifang made a loud and proud voice: "Vote!" If you are in favor of Niu Tianhao becoming the acting patriarch of the Thunder Niu Tribe, please raise your hand. ”

He was the first to raise his right hand.

The Great Master is the second, and Tianhao is close behind.

Yuan Meng and Zong Yu still looked at each other, and both of them smiled, each raising their right hands.

The eldest prince Niu Weizhan's face suddenly became gloomy, his lips were tightly closed, and he glared at Niu Weifang viciously, who did not care about this threat, and replied with a silent mockery of ridicule.

"Five votes to three, I announce that from now on, Niu Tianhao will become the acting patriarch of the Lei Niu Clan." The situation is clear, and the great division of the country quickly cut through the chaos and immediately announced the results of the vote, resulting in the established facts.

Yuan Meng and Zong Yu left their seats, walked in front of Tianhao, and said various words of praise with a smile.

The second prince, Niu Weifang, stood up from the chair, he strode over and stretched out his right hand to Tianhao. Although he didn't understand the other party's intentions and had never been in contact before, Tianhao still held the hand and smiled with a friendly and gentle smile.

"Do a good job, if you need anything, just ask, I will help if I can." Niu Weifang is very good at wooing.

At the end of the meeting, the people in the side hall gradually left. In the end, only Niu Lingxiao, who was standing in place, and Niu Zhenfeng, who was accompanying him, were left.

The empty hall was quiet again, and the light shone in from outside, revealing the sacredness of a little sunlight in the eerie silence.

“…… Why is this happening? Niu Zhenfeng was incredulous at this result: "Why would His Second Highness say such a thing?" He...... He should approve of your suggestion. ”

Niu Lingxiao's face turned pale, and he shook his head slowly.

His mind was very confused, and what he thought was a natural thing suddenly changed, and he couldn't react until now.

After a long time, he finally figured out the key.

"It's me who thinks everything too well." Niu Lingxiao muttered to himself, "What the hell...... They were rivals, and the price I offered was too low, and he wanted more, and that alone was not enough to satisfy his appetite...... Why didn't I think of any of this before? ”

Niu Zhenfeng couldn't understand at all next to him: "What do you mean?" ”

Niu Lingxiao turned around, glanced at him, didn't say anything, and walked slowly towards the exit.

……

A similar repertoire is also being staged between Tianhao and the Great Masters.

"Niu Lingxiao really lifted a stone to shoot himself in the foot this time." There were no outsiders present, and Wu Peng didn't have so many scruples when he spoke: "If Your Majesty is still alive, his proposal to return the Lei Niu Department to the Duke will definitely be adopted, this is the exclusive power of the two Highnesses, and they are happy to increase their respective territories and populations." Hum...... It's a pity that Niu Lingxiao got the wrong time and didn't figure out the situation. ”

Tianhao nodded, and thought deeply: "There is no clear ownership of the new king's position at present, and the two highnesses are fighting for it, and they both want to get the most benefit from it." ”

"Second Highness is a smart man. He knew very well the difference between a hundred thousand people and a tribe. Wu Peng stroked his wrinkled forehead and sighed: "At the beginning, His Royal Highness was standing on Niu Lingxiao's side, but Niu Lingxiao's suggestion made him see another possibility. ”

Tianhao's expression was calm: "So he chose to support me to become the acting patriarch." If the Lei Niu Department is split and handed over, the share of interests that the two Highnesses are competing for is only 200,000 people. Conversely, if I become the patriarch, I will be able to control an entire Thunder Bull Division, plus the Rock Collar, with a total population of more than half a million. ”

"Your Highness won't get anything, but Your Second Highness will get your gratitude, your friendship, and the full support of an entire clan." Wu Peng's old face showed a wry smile: "They are all powerful young people, racking their brains to plan in all directions, compared to you, I am really old." ”

Tianhao shook his head: "Your status is unparalleled, even if the new king ascends the throne, he still needs your assistance." ”

"You're doing a great job." The great master looked at him with cloudy eyes that had experienced vicissitudes, and patted Tianhao on the shoulder a few times: "You didn't break your promise, and brought over all the stallions that you had planned to get from the Tiger Clan, and this alone is an incomparable achievement." Even if Niu Lingxiao wants to bring you down, there is no chance, I originally planned to announce this matter at the worst time, at least let one of His Highnesses change his attitude and vote for you...... Now, it seems, it's not needed for the time being. ”

Tianhao was silent for a few seconds, and saluted Wu Peng again: "Great Master, I should go." The situation in Thunder Point is chaotic, and I need to rush back to deal with it as soon as possible. ”

“…… Go ahead! Wu Peng's eyes shone with kindness: "Wei Bang handed over the Lei Niu Department to you, this is his last wish." Remember the promise you made to me———— we are a whole tribe, compatriots, and family, and do what you want, so that the people will be fed and clothed, and that they will be safe and happy. ”

……

The execution was scheduled for the early morning of the next day.

Dozens of fierce Niu clan guards escorted the prisoner cart from the dungeon of Black Corner City and slowly came to the square in front of the palace.

Announcements had been made beforehand, and many people had gathered here early just to watch the full execution.

People were whispering and whispering.

"It's a chopping sentence...... I haven't seen anything like this in years. His Majesty and the Great Master are both kind-hearted and good people, and the harshest punishment that has been carried out in the past is only a cut in half, how can it be like now. ”

"Didn't you see what it said in the announcement, the Thunder Cow Tribal Witch has committed a felony of rebellion, and it is unforgivable."

"Tut-tut, there are thousands of cuts in total, can he stand it?"

"If you can't stand it, you have to stay up, who told him to do that kind of thing......"

Although the sky was cloudy, the weather was not cold. The burly and sturdy guards took Wu Yuan, who had broken his hands and feet, out of the prisoner cart and tied him up on the pre-set torture table. The six executioners with the upper body ** were divided into two rows, walked up the steps in order, and stood on both sides of Wu Yuan.

Niu Weizhan and Niu Weifang sat on a chair in the distance to watch the ceremony. The eldest prince's face was gloomy, he had thought for a long time yesterday to understand what the problem was, but unfortunately it was too late. The second prince's face was pale, and from time to time he glanced at his brother from the corner of his eye, releasing sarcasm in silence.

The great master stood in front of the ceremonial stage and meticulously presided over the ceremony.

Except for Tianhao, who had already left Black Corner City, no one could understand his grief at the moment. You can't cry, you can't shout, you can't cut the enemy's throat with your own hands, you can only watch silently as a bystander...... The deceased is my son, and as a father, I can only avenge him in this way.

Pain and grief need to be vented, even if he is a high-powered national teacher, Wu Peng needs to find someone to talk to.

Tianhao does not belong to the circle of interests of Black Horn City, although he is a lord and now an acting patriarch, he is a person with a clean foundation. Wu Peng is very relieved about Tianhao, knowing that he will not go around talking about his secrets as a show. What's more, the only one who knows is himself, and no one will believe it even if he says it.

There are many secrets in the aristocratic circle, and when we were young, we all used to be arrogant and arrogant, and we swayed our youth in the absurdity. Newborn calves are not afraid of tigers, and always think that they are the best in the world. Woman...... Slept and slept, and when she was dominated by Yuwang and had crazy fun, she didn't think about the consequences at all, but she didn't expect that she would give birth to a son for herself.

I watched him grow up, but I couldn't tell him who we really were. He was happy so I was happy, and I was proud of his excellence, and I watched him thrive, marry and have children in unnoticed corners...... I can't put into words how amazing it was, and there was more hope for life and the future.

Right now...... He's dead.

The whole family died tragically, including my most beloved little grandson.

The Great Master's cloudy eyes suddenly turned red, countless bloodshots filled his eyes at a terrifying speed, and he raised his hands to the sky and roared, roaring in pain and sorrow as he prayed to the gods.

"Execution!"

When the first knife cut off his eyelids, Wu Yuan felt that it was dark all of a sudden.

He had never seen strangulation, but he knew that this kind of cruel punishment was extremely cruel———— and he began to enjoy "special" treatment from the time he was caught by Tianhao in Barehoof City. Every day someone washes his body with hot water and then applies milk and grease. Doing so smooths the skin and promotes capillary and nerve growth. The practices of the barbarians are closely related to the science and technology of the civilized age, and if the skin wants to remain elastic, it must have vigorous vitality. Hot water scrubbing cleans the body from dead skin, absorbs milk and oil to increase nutrients. Aside from the natural beauty of the ingredients, the girl's smooth skin is almost all acquired...... Of course, men are no exception.

Smooth and soft skin is so sensitive to pain that the executioner is particular about choosing the eyelid as the first place to go under the knife. The knife edge was downward, without piercing the eyeball or tearing the skin, and two pieces of bloody thin skin hung upside down in front of his eyes, blocking Wu Yuan's vision. Blood continued to penetrate his eyes, and everything he saw was covered in a thick red, and the light was blocked so that the darkness was even more important. Soon, he lost his sight completely, and could only search frantically in the darkness and crimson.

He let out a scream that was not like a human voice.

The sense of smell became numb in the thick of blood, as if only touch was left for perception, the nerves became especially sensitive, and the sense of pain was multiplied in fear and despair.

"Don't!"

"Please, spare me!"

"It hurts...... Help me...... Help me! ”

Pain and regret are twins.

Why should I do those things?

If none of this had happened, I would still be a clan witch of the Thunder Cow Tribe, and I would be respected.

I'm going to pray to the gods to turn back the clock.

It hurts so much, it hurts so much, who can save me?

A copper ...... That's my best friend, help...... Help me......

He looked like he was dead.

Yes, I killed him and cut off his head with my own hands.
