Chapter 430: Great Changes (Medium)
Fearing that there would be turmoil in the royal court, the Khan strictly ordered the wolf riders under his tent not to mourn before he died, and the wolf riders have always obeyed the will of the Great Khan, strictly guarding the news and not allowing anyone to leak it.
But there are only thieves who have been thieves for a thousand days, where is there a thief for a thousand days? The Great Khan's worst fears finally came to pass on the afternoon of the fourth day.
The reason is this: there were two minor nobles in the royal court who had a fierce conflict over the territory issue, and the other big nobles and clan elders were obviously one-sided in favor of one of them when dealing with the problem, and the other felt that he had been wronged, and angrily wanted to find the Great Khan to give him justice, but he was unexpectedly blocked by the wolf guards, and the two sides had a fierce verbal conflict.
The little nobleman went away in shame and anger, and when he appeared again before the sweat tent, it was already afternoon, and he was drunk and drunk outside the sweat tent and shouted uncontrollably, demanding to see the great sweat.
Can the Wolf Guard Commander say yes? He almost put the knife on the man's neck, and said in a threatening tone: "The Great Khan is still sick and needs to recuperate, you go back first, and when the Great Khan recovers, he will naturally administer justice to you." β
But this little nobleman is already drunk, and the drunken person is the most brainless and scoundrel, and he can listen to the "kindness" of the wolf guard, but he thinks that the wolf guard under the Great Khan's tent is in the same group as those black-hearted clansmen, so he pushed him away, and was about to rush into the tent in a few steps, "Great Khan, Great Khan, please give me justice!" Great Khan ......"
"-Gutoru!"
The commander of the wolf guard grabbed his arm, flipped him to the ground, stepped on his chest with one foot, the hideous scimitar had been pulled out, pointed at his throat, and his tone was murderous: "I warn again, don't disturb the Khan's rest, if there are any grievances, wait until the Khan recovers...... If you don't know each other again, don't blame me for being rude! β
ββ¦β¦ Let go of me, I have a grievance, I want to say it to the Khan to my face! β
"-Not allowed!"
The little nobleman named Gutoru was trampled on his chest by the wolf guard, and he struggled but could not break free. At this time, the movement outside the Khan's tent had already attracted many onlookers, and under the prying eyes of everyone, Gu Toru felt that he had lost face, and was overwhelmed by anger for a while, and actually began to shout: "What's wrong with me stating my grievances to the Great Khan?" You are preventing me from seeing the Great Khan like this, could it be that the Great Khan has been killed by you?! β
The wolf guard's pupils shrank, and he shouted, "What nonsense are you talking about!" β
"I'm not talking nonsense, the Great Khan hasn't come out to see anyone for six whole days! Isn't it unusual that for six days, no one could see the Great Khan when they asked to see him? Maybe the Great Khan has been murdered! β
The atmosphere suddenly fell silent, and the crowd of onlookers stopped discussing.
It was rumored that the bowl was not in good health last winter, and during last year's winter hunting, the Great Khan, who had always been skilled in arching horses, was so frightened by a bear that he fell off the horse, and then in recent months, the Great Khan has basically rarely seen people, and the government affairs are basically handed over to the clan elders and the nobles. Subsequently, there was gossip that the upper echelons of the royal court began to be involved in the battle for the storage position.
The two classes of nobles who supported Da Luo and Anluo often scolded each other in public, and the relationship deteriorated for a while, even to the point of drawing swords against each other......
Speaking from the heart, although the prestige of the Great Khan is not as good as that of the Great Khan of the wooden pole, but the Turks are in full swing at this time, and those Great Khans must bow down obediently in the face of the Great Khan, if the Great Khan is in good health, they will never dare to fight so blatantly. The reason for this situation is nothing more than that the body of the Great Khan can no longer hold on, and it is time to change the dynasty.
So careerists have surfaced.
Although the transfer of power on the grassland is not as varied as the Central Plains people, the degree of bloodiness is still excessive.
Before the new Great Khan Daluo arrived at the royal court, God knows what will happen, which is why the Khan of the Bowl is desperate to block the news of his death!
But this secret was punctured in advance, and the wolf guards were stunned at first, and then their eyes suddenly turned gloomy...... And the little nobleman didn't know that he had pierced the sky, and was still there scolding:
"If the Great Khan hadn't died, why didn't he come out and show his face, why did he just watch these old guys bully me? I am also a descendant of Ashina, and I also have the blood of the wolf god in my body! β
"Great Khan, Great Khanβ"
His shouting came to an abrupt halt, and the Wolf Guard Commander swung his knife and decapitated his head.
Gutoru's massive skull fell to the ground, his face contorted to the crowd on the side, his face contorted.
"You brought it on yourself." The Commander said in a quiet tone. The wolf guards trampled over Gutoru's corpse and drew their knives at the crowd gathered in the doorway to watch, their eyes cold and bloodthirsty.
"No one of you here is allowed to let go."
A massacre was staged in front of the ghost of the Great Khan.
Bloodshed and screams, chaos and carnage, unfolded in front of the tent...... The wolf guards firmly carried out the order to kill, and it was not until everyone in the vicinity was slaughtered that the wolf guard commander sighed abruptly: "There is a traitor among us, and the news has leaked out, this fool is deliberately instructed by someone with a heart to come and test us." β
"So what do we do next?"
"Don't do anything, the more you do, the more you get wrong. We have done our duty, and as for whether the Great Khan's plan will succeed or not, let us do our best to obey the destiny of heaven. β
The wolf guards wiped the blood on the face of their knives in front of their clothes, put them into their sheaths, and stood as solemn as before, as if the mountains of corpses stacked in front of them did not exist. Their ruler also stopped talking, but was silent.
He had a faint premonition in his heart:
A storm large enough to tear apart the entire Turkic Khanate has already been blowing.
β¦β¦
After the killing had subsided for a long time, a few hundred paces away from them, behind a small tent, a yellow-faced and skinny slave quietly poked his head out, and he watched for a long time to make sure that no one noticed this side before tiptoeing back.
β¦β¦
In a felt tent in the royal court, after confirming his father's death, An Luo was stunned for a long time, and his hand holding the wine glass trembled slightly, until someone reminded him to suddenly react.
"Young master, the Great Khan has passed away, we should act now, we must unite those clan elders and nobles, as well as those big and small khans, to win everyone's support, and use their power to let you defeat Da Luo and sit on the throne of the Great Khan!" An old man said in a fanatical tone: "As long as you get ahead of Da Luo, everything is up to you!" β
The night wind whirled across the air, and the cold wind swirled and whimpered around the tent.
I don't know who is blowing the flute in the middle of the night, and it is also a low whimper, which is very easy to be confused with the sound of the wind, and it sounds like the person who blows the flute does not actually exist, but is just an illusion caused by the wind.
"Is the Great Khan really dead?"
Anluo put down the cup and muttered to himself, at this time, someone broke in again, opened the curtain by one line, and Dafeng rushed in and narrowed his eyes. He closed his eyes slightly, opened them and looked at the ground silently, his expression depressed.
Several followers beside him became anxious: "Young Master, we know that you are sad about the death of the Great Khan, but now is not the time to be sad, Da Luo's knife is about to reach our throats, you can think of a way!" β
"Do you really have to do it?" Anluo looked a little hesitant, "I become the Great Khan, do I have to kill the Great Khan?" He's my cousin......"
Hearing this, everyone was so anxious that they almost fainted: "Young master, even if you have mercy in your heart, Da Luo may not have mercy on us!" The scouts sent out reported that in the past few days the villagers had been sharpening their knives, that all the sheep had been killed and roasted, that the cellars had been opened, that they had been drinking day and night, and that they had discussed the division of your land...... This is going to be hands-on, young master! Once you put Da Luo in that position, will you still be able to survive? β
"That'...... Then Da Luo may not kill me, I have given him the throne of the Khan......"
"Young master, why don't you understand?" The old man looked disappointed, and anxiously held Anluo's shoulder, "There is only one throne of the Great Khan, do you want to let it out?" You regard Da Luo Ben as a cousin, but he treats you as an enemy, can he have a good life for you when he is in power? β
"Besides, even if you don't think about yourself, you should think about us who have sacrificed their lives to you, right? If we risk our lives, isn't it worth fighting for? β
Anluo was still hesitant, and the others couldn't help it, and one of them shouted directly in a rough manner: "In the past, the young master let him take care of the will of the Great Khan, but now that the Great Khan is gone, is the young master still so timid?" β¦β¦ Besides, the Great Khan is gone, I'd rather hide it from you than let you know, young master, it's time for you to wake up! β
Rough shredding illusions are far more effective than hard persuasion. He poked at the sore spot of Anluo, and Anluo's gaze suddenly became fierce, but after a while, he began to spit again: "But now that everyone knows that Da Luo is going to be a new Great Khan, will anyone really support us?" β
"Yes."
"Who?"
"Erfu Khan, take a picture."
The old man approached Anluo and said with a serious face: "The photo often says that Da Luo's biological mother is just a female slave, and she luckily climbed into the bed of the wooden pole Lao Khan, and then she gave birth to Da Luo, she was from a humble background, and the photo has always hated Da Luobian's origin. And the young master is different, the young master's biological mother is from a noble ......"
"The young master should not know yet, the picture has already made people talk, his people and the elders said that if the young master becomes the Great Khan, he must respect the young master as the master, if the Great Luo becomes the Great Khan, then he must meet with the Great Luoben...... It can be seen that the picture has fallen to our side, this is a great opportunity, young master, what are you still hesitating about? β
Anluo stayed where he was.
He felt like he had fallen into a huge trap.
