("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.) ）

Hearing this, the following ministers discussed:

"Autopsy?"

"In public, the coffin is no wonder there is no cover."

"But wouldn't this be disrespectful to His Majesty the Wolf King?"

"Hey...... Is this a curse? Why did the Tuoba Zhi Wolf King go for less than half a year, and then he ...... again?"

In the midst of the crowd's discussions, Tuobhar had ordered the white cloth on the coffin to be removed.

"Look, everybody."

Everyone looked up and saw that in the coffin, there was nothing but a charred corpse.

"Spread the word!" , Tuobhar commanded.

And while waiting for the man to come, the performance of everyone in the hall was different-

Helian Lebai and Wu Kang only glanced at each other and stopped looking closely, but turned their heads and whispered to the entourage beside them, which was strange to say, the retinue they brought with them today seemed to be a little unusual.

Dong Yangkai grabbed the side wall of the coffin with both hands, tears welled up in his eyes, his face was sad, and then he turned around in disbelief and asked Nalan Yuanji behind him with his eyes.

And Nalan Yuanji, who was still standing in place, did not respond after seeing Dong Yangkai's questioning gaze, but only shook his head imperceptibly.

It's a pity that Dong Yangkai, who was agitated in his heart, didn't see this action, and he had already turned his head again and looked back at the corpses in the coffin in a miserable state of death.

Ashina'an lowered his head and did not raise it, but at an angle that no one could see, his gaze went up, and he slowly met Tuoba Har on the stage, and then he nodded imperceptibly.

Tuoba Har on the stage had a full view, and nodded subtly with his eyes......

Yu Wen Ze, who had not communicated with the people of other clans, after carefully looking at the remains in the coffin a few times, turned his head and asked Yu Wen Zhan on his side:

"What do you see?"

Yuwen Zhan thought for a moment and replied in a deep voice:

"I'm not pretending, I can't tell the age of the bones, but I have often discussed with His Majesty the Wolf King before, and the figure of this corpse is indeed highly consistent with him, and if this is really his corpse, then the person who left scars on his chest and abdomen will only be superior to me in martial arts."

Yu Wenze nodded, and then looked at the coffin with a sad face, not knowing what he was thinking in his heart.

And the rest of the ministers, except for a few small officials who had just been ordered to help He Baye to rest, there were those who cried bitterly, and there were also those who sobbed quietly, but most of them were still in great shock, waiting for the letter to go to the palace suspiciously.

After a while, the summoned servant came to the temple with the apprentices of his two helpers.

The old man first led his apprentice to salute the bones, and then took out the onions, white paper, silk and other autopsy things, and began to get busy.

Although many of the people in the hall were military generals who had killed the enemy in battle, there were only a few officials who were subordinate to the criminal justice system, so they didn't know much about the autopsy, and they only couldn't figure it out.

The old man painted a pile of smashed green onions on the corpse, and then covered it with white paper sprinkled with vinegar, which was actually a means of identifying the wounds of the corpse, and after operating this method, it only took less than half an hour to remove the white paper, and the external injuries suffered by the deceased could be observed on the white paper.

After the work, he ordered the body to be lifted into the sun, and only by looking at the bones through the silk could the cracks in the bones be seen, so as to infer the location of the fractures.

Finally, pry open the mouth of the deceased, observe the inner wall of the mouth, if it is thrown into the fire after death, the trachea in the mouth will be spotless; If burned to death, the mouth and trachea are covered with charcoal, and there will be burn marks. Look at the book

The age of the bones can be seen through the closure of the pelvis, phalanges, etc., and then the age of the deceased can be inferred......

Finally, after working together for nearly an hour, the old man got up and bowed down to report to Tuoba Har

：

"Regent, after examination, the deceased was a male, roughly around fourteen years old, seven feet eight inches tall, who had fought with people before his death, and had multiple abrasions and sword wounds on his body. The cause of death was two broken ribs, and the dantian was severely injured and thrown into the fire when he was dying."

The ministers, who had been waiting for nearly an hour, all understood the truth after hearing this, and they were silent, and for a while, there was a mourning in the court.

Tuobhar frowned and said:

"Tell me the identity of the deceased."

The old man thought about it for a while, and said in a whisper:

"In the country of wild wolves, people who have this figure at the age of fourteen, except for His Majesty Tuoba Zhulu, the villain really can't think of anyone else for the time being......

Tuobhar thought for a moment, and then muttered in a low voice that only he could hear:

"Hmm...... Fractured ribs, internal injuries in the dantian, and being thrown into the fire when he was dying......

Then Tuobhar addressed the crowd:

"In addition to Ashina Xun, there are also four guards of Wu Mu, Wu Nong, Helian Fu, and Nalan Feng, and these five are the people who ran away with His Majesty the Wolf King at the beginning, and through what Fang Cai said, it can be seen that the remains in the coffin now are the corpses of His Majesty Tuoba Zhulu. Do you have any objections?"

Helian Lebai, Wukangshi, and even Ashinaan naturally have no objections; And Nalan Yuanji, who has always been witty and eloquent, has never said a word today; After talking to Yuwen Zhan just now, Yu Wenze also chose to believe it at this moment; Only the loyal Dong Yangkai immediately jumped up at this moment and said:

"I only said that this corpse was surprised by the bones, and I couldn't see the face clearly, who knows if this is Your Majesty, can you judge just by the corpses of a few followers? What's more, everyone knew that His Majesty the Wolf King came out of the east and went to Yumen Pass to seek revenge, why did he suddenly go to Baiyuzhou in the extreme south after three months? Just said that His Majesty the Wolf King had passed away, and I, Dong Yangkai, were the first to disbelieve it!"

Tuoba Har nodded and said to Dong Yangkai:

"General Xi is right when he says this, indeed, none of us want to believe that His Majesty the Wolf King, who we were born with great courage and long-awaited, has passed away. But according to speculation, I think that after His Majesty the Wolf King left the Central Capital from the East Gate, he traveled for a while, and then turned straight south, and it rained heavily at that time, which made the people who went to look for it return in vain, and after arriving in Baiyuzhou, His Majesty the Wolf King was intercepted and killed by the masters of Daqin, this is it, this is it...... Alas......"

Dong Yangkai listened to it and wanted to argue, but at this time, Nalan Yuanji, who had not moved, stretched out his hand and pulled him, and then said a few words in his ear.

Then Tuobhar saw that the people were speechless, and he spoke again:

"And then again, half a year ago, our predecessor Wolf King Tuoba Zhi was killed in the capital of Great Qin, and today, our Wolf King was killed in Baiyuzhou on the border. The two wolf kings died tragically one after another in just half a year, this is all a good thing that their Great Qin did! It's all a heinous crime committed by that Qin thief! Ladies and gentlemen, what should we do at this moment?"

In the crowd, Wu Kangshi took the lead and said loudly:

"Avenge His Majesty the Wolf King!"

Subsequently, many people in the crowd followed and shouted:

"Revenge!"

"Yes, that's right, take revenge!"

"Kill into Great Qin and seek justice for our wild wolves!"

And people like Nalan Yuanji and Dong Yangkai, who have always been in charge and pro-Qin, saw this kind of scene, but they couldn't say anything......

When the crowd gradually quieted down, Tuobhar said:

"Revenge, or whatever, can be discussed. I think the most urgent thing at the moment is to have someone to come out and lead everyone, so that whether it is revenge or the future development of national affairs, there will be someone to lead, what do you think?"

Naturally, everyone in the audience had no objections.

"Who, then, will be appointed to take on this task?" At this time, someone below asked.

When Wu Kangshi heard this, he said loudly:

"I think we're regents

It's good. Let's think about it, when His Majesty the Wolf King was not in charge of the government, the regent has always acted as the supervisor of the country, and the whole country can be called orderly; Again, His Majesty the Regent's surname is Tuoba, which is in line with the ancestral teachings; What's more, before His Majesty the Wolf King left, he left a personal letter, which also explained that if he encountered an accident, the regent would succeed him as the wolf king and lead everyone. It stands to reason that this position should be occupied by the regent of Tuobhar."

As soon as he finished speaking, Dong Yangkai jumped out and said loudly:

"I don't agree!"

Tuobhar raised his hand to stop the quarrel between Wukang and Dong Yangkai, and then said to Dong Yangkai:

"General Nishi, why don't you agree?"

Dong Yangkai says:

"Tuobahar, your thoughts are known to everyone in the country. It's nothing more than wanting to be the king of wolves......

Speaking of this, Tuobhar's henchmen shouted:

"Presumptuous!"

"Nonsense!"

"Hugh is a lie!"

Tuoba Har waved his hand to stop the shouting of Wu Kangshi and the others, and motioned for Dong Yangkai to continue.

Dong Yangkai continued:

"If His Majesty Zhulu has already confirmed his death, of course you should Tuobhar in terms of seniority. It's just that I still don't believe that what's in this coffin is His Majesty."

Hal asked:

"Why? It's clear that it's already ......."

Dong Yangkai interrupted coldly:

"Where's the wolf's fang?"

Tuobahar's face instantly became gloomy:

"What are you talking about?"

Dong Yangkai continued:

"Now that the wild wolf has gradually spread in the country, the wolf tooth of the first king Tuoba Zhi was not brought to Daqin, but stayed in the country and handed over to His Majesty Tuoba Zhulu for safekeeping, since you said that it is His Majesty Tuoba Zhulu lying in this coffin, then I ask you, where are the wolf teeth?"

The expression on Tuobhar's face changed, cloudy and uncertain, and after a while, he squeezed out a smile and said to Dong Yangkai:

"General Xi, what you just said has confused Hal, you might as well come forward and talk to everyone."

Dong Yangkai thought to himself:

"Above the court, everyone is watching, even if I go forward, forgive him and dare not do anything. I'll see what he has to say."

So Dong Yangkai straightened his clothes and strode towards the stage.

And when he walked to Ashinaan, who had been silent, suddenly, Tuoba Har, who had been forbearant on the stage, showed a fierce look in his eyes, stretched out his right hand, and shook it towards the sky.

Of course, Dong Yangkai also saw this scene, and he said with some disdain:

"Tuobahar, what are you doing there...... Ahh

Everyone looked here, only to see that Dong Yangkai had fallen to the ground, and there was a big hole in the back of his neck with blurred flesh and blood, and Ashina, who was standing behind him, was taking out a white cloth from his arms, wiping the dagger in his hand clean, his eyes were indifferent, as if Dong Yangkai, who was struggling on the ground, had nothing to do with him.

When everyone was confused and shocked, they only heard the sound of swords dragging the ground behind them, and countless black-clothed masked people with crossbows and swords on their backs seemed to appear out of thin air, and they came to the main hall in unison, forming a circle around everyone in the hall. Then, there was another "Peng!" from the palace gate. There was a muffled sound, and it was obvious that the palace gate had been closed.

Several of Dong Yangkai's personal attendants had already reacted that their master had been killed on the spot, but among the five people, two of them looked at the murderous black-clothed people around them, and after glancing at each other with some cringe, they chose to lower their heads. The other three loyal attendants waved their fists and rushed towards Ashinaan.

Just as they were about to rush in front of Ashinaan, everyone saw a flower in front of them, and a figure rushed out of the black-clothed people almost in the blink of an eye, stopping in front of the three loyal servants, and then in a very short time, they saw the figures flying, accompanied by a few crisp "click" sounds, the black-clothed people who jumped out had already jumped backwards, and the three Dong Yangkai's attendants had fallen softly, and their heads and bodies formed a strange and indescribable horn

Degree. Obviously, the man used a heavy hand to break his neck.

From Tuobhar clenching his fists to the sky just now, the four of them died on the spot, but in just a few breaths, the court has undergone earth-shaking changes!

At this time, the entourage around Wu Kangshi and Helian Lebai also took out their swords from their arms and divided them into two parts, one part protected their master, and the other part rushed around, staring at the ministers under the hall with the black-clothed man who arrived.

In the face of sudden changes, above the court, which was originally quite harmonious, for a while, everyone in the ministers was in danger, for fear that the butcher's knife would be inflicted on them in the next moment, and Dong Yangkai and his attendants would die like a sideshow.

The patriarchs of several major clans have different performances.

Helian Lebai, Ukangshi and other loyal henchmen of Tuobhar had already taken their swords from the hands of the guards and attendants around them at this moment, and one turned around and looked coldly at the ministers who wanted to speak but did not dare to act rashly. The other stared at Nalan Yuanji unabashedly, revealing a burst of murderous intent.

Witnessing Dong Yangkai's death with his own eyes, Nalan Yuanji didn't show too much surprise, only to see that he didn't pay attention to Wu Kang's almost provocative gaze, but stared at Dong Yangkai's already angry figure, his brows were tightly locked, as if he was thinking about something.

Yu Wenze also frowned at this moment, and after a meaningful glance at Tuoba Har on the stage, after a little thought, he clenched his fists and said:

"Regent, Yuwenze has taken his leave first."

After that, without waiting for Tuobhar to answer, he turned around and left with the people of the Yuwen clan.

Seeing this, Tuobhar's eyes narrowed slightly, and he turned sideways to the empty-handed black-clothed man who had just broken the necks of the three people:

"I'm tired."

After speaking, he bowed his mouth to the people of the Yuwen clan.

The man in black wrinkled his nose when he heard Tuobhar's request, but he didn't say anything, but his footsteps didn't move, he just squinted slightly, looking at the Yuwen family who were about to break out of the palace gate.

Seeing that the man in black seemed to ignore his words, Tuobhar only reached out and touched his nose, but did not speak.

Yu Wenze took the attendant to the encirclement of the black-clothed man in the hall, and when he saw that the other party had no intention of retreating and giving way, he raised his head and frowned:

"Get out of the way."

Hearing this, the men in black instead stretched their swords forward, and replied equally unwillingly:

"No one is allowed to leave without the regent's order!"

The man in black did not deliberately lower his voice when he said this, and when he said it loudly, almost all the officials in the hall had heard it.

Could it be that Tubahar did not achieve his goal, and he wanted to trap everyone within the walls of this palace?

(After verification, the characteristics of the corpse in the coffin were completely consistent with Tuoba Zhulu, and the ministers were shaken.) When everyone was hesitant, the Tunjiang faction proposed to introduce one person to take charge. At this moment, Dong Yangkai, the head of the Dong family, discovered a fatal problem - the wolf tooth representing the authority of the wolf king was missing! Just as he was about to step forward to argue, Dong Yangkai was attacked by Ashinaan and died on the spot, and at the same time, Hal ordered the gate to be closed, and the masters came out together...... Is Tuoba alive or dead? What exactly does the Swallowing River faction want to do? In the face of Dong Yangkai's death and the sudden blockade, how should the desolate wolf ministers respond? If you want to know the future, and look at the old dream of the wild wolf fifteen: changing the sky)
