("The Old Dream of the Wild Wolf" is also a prequel story, telling everything that happened to the wild wolf five years ago, the whereabouts of Tuoba Zhulu, the game between the eight clans, the day of the change of the sky, and other clues mentioned will be elaborated here.) ）

Time flies, and more than three months have passed since Tuoba left Tianchi City, the capital of the wild wolf.

In the twenty-second year of Chonghuang in the Great Qin calendar, on the third day of the sixth month, it has rained heavily for three days in Tianchi City, the capital of the wild wolf, although the rain has stopped today, but the sky is still cloudy, and it is in the scorching heat, stuffy and hot, and it can't help but make people feel upset.

And in such uncomfortable weather, Tuoba Har, who had not moved for many days, urgently summoned the ministers and the patriarchs of the major tribes in his capacity as regent.

In the palace –

The irascible and rugged North General Ukangshi. Today, he surprisingly did not shout loudly in the court, but changed his old temper and whispered something to a person next to him.

The person who talked to Wu Kangshi in a low voice was the black-faced and white-bearded Zuo Prime Minister Helian Lebai. The two of them whispered as they cast their gazes in the same direction.

Standing in this direction is none other than Nalan Yuanji, who is known as the "First Strategist of the Wild Wolf". In the face of Wu Kang Shi and Helian Lebai's gaze, Nalan Yuanji ignored it, just glanced at the vacant seat beside him with a worried face, and then frowned and closed his eyes.

The vacant seat next to Nalan Yuanji is naturally the position of his friend Dong Cheng. It's just that when Tuoba Zhulu disappeared last time, Dong Cheng scolded Tuoba Har and the ministers of the "Swallowing River" faction in the court, and then left Tianchi City in the central capital directly, and went straight back to the Dong fiefdom in the west of the wild wolf, and he couldn't get out of his illness, and it was even rumored that he directly threatened: "Your Majesty the Wolf King doesn't return for a day, my old man won't go to Tianchi City for a day, and the province will see the stinky faces of some people, and he will lose his longevity in vain."

Therefore, the representative of the Dong family court meeting this time was Dong Cheng's eldest son, Dong Yangkai, the official to the west general, and one of the eight ministers of the wild wolf.

And Dong Yangkai stood behind Nalan Yuanji, seeing that Nalan Yuanji was silent, and even looked worried when he greeted him, he was suspicious in his heart, and he stopped talking.

The southern general Ashinaan, since the last time Dong Cheng left scolded him for a "soft bone", he has become more and more silent, this time, he did not stand by the side of the Nalan family and the Dong family as in the past, but stood alone with his entourage, but his eyes often looked in the direction of Wu Kangshi and Helian Lebai, who were talking in a low voice, and occasionally made eye contact with the two, and they both staggered after looking at each other meaningfully.

And the Yuwen family, which has always remained neutral and only serves the wolf king and the country, has two people today, in addition to the patriarch right Sima Yuwenze, and the master Yuwen Zhan, who was previously known as "the invincible hand under the wolf king", at this time in the wild wolf country, Tuoba Zhi is dead, Tuoba is missing, and Yuwen Zhan can be called the first master.

The Yuwen family has always never gossiped with people in the previous dynasty, and this time is no exception.

So above the court, the patriarchs of the seven clans of the Desolate Wolf were silent or whispered, and the ministers standing behind saw that the six most powerful people were quiet, and they all felt a depressing atmosphere, and they were all silent, and they didn't say a word. The entire court hall showed a strange and indescribable silence.

"Ahem." A few light coughs broke the silence.

The ministers looked up, and the regent Tuobhar, dressed in military uniform and carrying a long sword, was slowly walking towards the throne covered with bearskins, his face was calm, his eyes were deep, and his lips were closed, and he couldn't tell whether he was happy or worried, but he conveyed a message to everyone - there had been a drastic change in the country of wild wolves!

Tuobhar walked to the throne, but instead of sitting down, he turned and whispered outside:

"Bring it in."

Then, just when everyone was puzzled, a group of sturdy men had walked outside, and there were as many as thirty-two people. And the most surprising thing is not this group of men, but what they carry on their shoulders.

What they were carrying was a huge coffin, and this coffin had not been covered yet, only a white cloth was covered on the top.

When the group of coffin-bearers stood still, Tuobhar spoke:

"Kneel."

With that, he knelt down first.

Under the court, Ukangshi and Helian Lebai also immediately knelt down with Tuoba Har; And Dong Yangkai saw that Nalan Yuanji also knelt down after an extremely brief hesitation, so he also knelt on the ground; Yu Wenze and Yu Wenzhan frowned, and they were stunned for a while before slowly kneeling down.

After all the ministers knelt on the ground, Tuoba Har spoke again:

"Bye."

After speaking, he was about to take the lead and bow down, but at this moment, another voice interrupted him:

"Wait!"

The person who spoke was the right Sima Yu Wenze, and after he stopped Tuoba Har's next move, he continued:

"Regent, why do you have to order a coffin to be carried up to the temple? Who is in this coffin? Why do you lead everyone to bow down and perform such a great ceremony?"

This is also the question in the hearts of the ministers, so everyone nodded their heads to indicate that they also have the same question.

When Tubahar heard this, he looked up and replied:

"Right Sima, everyone, you have doubts in your hearts, and Hal will give an explanation later. I can only tell you at this moment that the people in this coffin can afford all of us wolves to perform such a salute, and please bow down with me before we talk about anything else."

Hearing this, the ministers all understood. Who can stand everyone's knees in the wild wolf, but who else can there be besides the wolf king? In this coffin, there must be the body of the former king Tuoba Zhi who died tragically in the Great Qin City.

So after the people had bowed with Tubahar, they all stood up.

At this time, Dong Yangkai said:

"Regent, in this coffin, is the body of the former king?"

Everyone looked at Tuobhar, only to feel that Tuobhar was in a trance, and said with a stunned gaze:

"Yes."

Dong Yangkai continued to ask:

"Then may I ask, where are the remains of the wolf queen and the thirty iron wolf riders at this moment?" Look at the book

Tuoba Har raised his head and looked at Dong Yangkai fixedly, but he didn't say a word.

Dong Yangkai frowned and said:

"Why didn't you answer, Lord Regent?"

Tuobhar opened his mouth, then closed it again, and then he lowered his gaze and asked in a deep voice:

"Their bodies are still parked at the Great Qin Yumen Pass."

As soon as this remark came out, everyone was a little confused. Tuoba Zhi, Nalan Linglong and his party were killed on the same day, since Tuoba Zhi's body has been retrieved at this moment, why did they leave the rest of the body in Yumen Pass?

So Dong Yangkai replied even more suspiciously:

"What is the reasoning behind this, why do you only welcome back the remains of the former kings, but ignore the remains of the rest?"

When Tuoba Har heard this, his eyes lowered lower, and he fell silent again, just when everyone was impatient, and Dong Yangkai was about to ask again, Tuoba Har looked up and looked around as if he had made up his mind, and then said slowly:

"Ladies and gentlemen, the bodies of the former king Tuoba Zhi, the queen Nalan Linglong, and the thirty iron wolf riders who died in the Great Qin Capital are still parked at the Yumen Pass...... And at this moment the former king lying in the coffin, his name is Tuoba Chase."

As soon as the word came out, the audience was shocked!

"This?" , Dong Yangkai suddenly heard this unbelievable news, and couldn't help but stumble under his feet and almost fell.

And the reaction of everyone in the hall was the same as him.

Dong Yang froze and asked in disbelief:

"Is that true? Tuobhar, you are responsible for what you say."

Tuoba Har nodded painedly and replied:

"If Harl has half a lie, he will teach me that the heavens will thunder and the heavens will not die well."

At this time, there was a noisy sound in the hall, everyone looked, only to see a young and rare wolf old minister, because of hearing this amazing news, he didn't come up in one breath, but suddenly fainted, and fell straight down, fortunately the colleagues around him were sharp-eyed and helped him, so that he did not fall directly to the ground.

This fallen old minister, who served the previous old wolf king in his early years, that is

Tuoba Zhi and Tuoba Har, the father of the two brothers, Tuoba Rulie, and saved Tuoba Rulie many times on the battlefield, and was regarded as his closest confidant.

In addition, there are even rumors that before Tuoba Rulie died, he called the old man to his side and dictated his last words...... This is enough to see the status of this old man in the wild wolf.

The old man's surname is He, his real name is unknown, and the old wolf king Tuoba Rulie calls him He Nu; The two brothers, Tuoba Zhi and Tuoba Har, have called him Uncle He since they were children, and even though they later became wolf kings and generals, such titles have not changed; Tuoba Zhulu called him Grandpa He.

And the rest of the people in the Wild Wolf Country, when they saw him, they had to call him He Baye.

He Baye, the eighth of the eight clans.

This old man is responsible for selecting and training domestic elite soldiers, and then sending them to the Eight Wild Wolf Clans as personal soldiers.

Even the famous Iron Wolf Rider, the one hundred and fifty people acted in unison as one person, attacking like a fire, guarding like a rock, and walking like a storm, which was also taught by him himself.

The head of the eight clans, He Baye.

The last time the news of Tuoba Zhi's death came, He Baye was ordered to train an army in seclusion somewhere on the southern border, and when the task was completed and he was ready to return to Beijing to resume his life, he heard the news that Tuoba Zhi and his party died tragically in the capital of Daqin, according to the people around him, after He Baye heard the news, he did not say a word, at the age of sixty-seven, he stepped on three horses with the best strength, a bag of food and water on his back, and rushed to Zhongdu in the starry night, ordinary people would take a journey of about a month, and he only took eight days to arrive, It is said that He Baye's three war horses were exhausted to death, and in the suburbs of Zhongdu, which was still more than ten miles away, he abandoned his horse and walked to the palace alive.

When he arrived at the palace, he only saw Tuoba Har - just a few days before he arrived in the central capital, Tuoba Zhulu had also "disappeared".

Then everyone has never seen He Baye, until today's court meeting, He Baye did not appear in front of everyone again, but after hearing the news of Tuoba Zhulu's death, perhaps the grief that had calmed down before was touched again, which made this old man who had gone through three dynasties faint suddenly!

Tuoba Har ordered someone to help He Baye go down to rest, and then faced the southern general Ashina'an, and said in a deep voice:

"Come on."

Ashinaan nodded, then turned to face the ministers and said:

"My lieutenant general, Yu Yong, after I went to the Central Capital, temporarily acted as the military and political affairs of the Southern Capital Dianhe City. And just half an hour ago, I received a letter from him."

"The letter said that the caravan that went to Baiyuzhou to purchase goods found several corpses at the remains of a fire in Baiyuzhou, and the reason why these corpses attracted their attention was because they found that these corpses had wolf head tattoos on their chests without exception......

Speaking of the wolf head tattoo on his chest, everyone already understood the meaning of his words - every baby boy born in the Eight Wild Wolf Clans will have a tattoo of the wolf's head on his chest at the time of the full moon, which has shown his family identity. The baby girl's tattoo is similar, except on the left side of the calf. These corpses have wolf head tattoos on their chests, so they are naturally from the Eight Clans.

"Later, further examination surprised them, four of these deceased were palace guards, and the other one was even more promising, a celebrity of our Ashina family, who had served as an envoy and served the former king Tuoba Zhi."

Speaking of this, Ashinaan paused a little strangely.

Dong Yangkai, who had been listening to it for a long time, said a little incomprehensibly:

"And then? What does this have to do with His Majesty the Wolf King?"

Ashina closed her eyes and slowly continued:

"And when these bodies were found, they formed a strange posture, and several people formed a small circle, guarding the other body in the circle...... And the body in the middle is His Majesty Tuoba Zhulu in the coffin at this time."

After speaking, Ashinaan quickly lowered his head and stopped talking.

At this time, the right Sima Yu Wenze spoke:

"Then how do you judge that this is the corpse of His Majesty Tuoba Zhulu?"

Hearing this, Ashinaan raised his head a little hurriedly, then his lips opened slightly, and his head involuntarily wanted to look at the throne behind him, but he seemed to suddenly remember something, and twisted his head back stiffly, the whole person's posture was slightly weird, and he looked a little confused.

"Ahem......," a voice came from the front of the temple, and then everyone heard only Tuoba Har say:

"This...... Of course we do."

At this moment, a secret letter written to him by the man he respectfully called "Sir" came to Tuobhar's heart last night.

The MeSign says:

"Tuoba Zhulu died on April 15, the 22nd year of Chonghuang in the Great Qin Calendar, in a village outside Baiyu Prefecture, and the cause of death was that he was seriously injured by palm force and fell into the fire and burned to death. The ribs were broken several times in the chest, and the abdomen was hit twice, and the dantian was broken and the internal organs were almost ruptured. You can make a fuss from here, which makes people suspect that it is from the hands of the masters of Great Qin......

In his heart, he quickly memorized the contents of the secret letter again, and Tuoba Har said loudly to Yu Wenze:

"Therefore, today I have ordered the coffin to be carried up to the temple, in addition to asking you to bow down to be loyal to the spirit of the wolf king in heaven, and also, to perform an autopsy in public! to prove your identity."

(Tuoba chased the deer into the sea of fire, and there was no news from the whole of the Wild Wolf Country.) After a lapse of three months, Tuoba Har convened the ministers again, and the leaders of the eight clans were all present, but they heard the news of Tuoba Zhulu's death! In the coffin, is it the body of Tuoba Zhulu? What will happen after this conference? The Wild Wolf Country has lost two wolf kings in a row, where should it go? If you want to know the future, and see the old dream of the desolate wolf No. 14: blockade)
