A river of blood: Puppet chapter
"Forcibly elevating the Burning Bones to Soul Transformation, Lord Moran really spared no expense, let me guess, are you planning to kill us all so that we can be put on the table?" Adam asked calmly, pressing the iron box with one hand.
Vada couldn't pull out the giant sword even though he had all his strength, and the iron box was as heavy as a mountain, and no matter how hard he tried, he couldn't move at all, and the sword body was smashed and bent.
"Forcibly elevating a realm, the price paid is not small, your retainers are really loyal, how can it be like the vassals of my Nuo family, you have endured it for so long, now you don't have to pretend anymore. ”
Nohe casually threw away the knife in his hand, and looked at his vassals coldly, the pain of the past was not enough for them to remember, after so many years, they had forgotten why they belonged to the Nuo family in the first place.
"Ahh
The viscous liquid soaked her skirt, the slippery feel and the pungent smell constantly stimulated her nerves, and the maid turned her head tremblingly, her still warm body was still bleeding, and a large pool of blood had accumulated on the ground.
"What do you mean, Lord Moran?"
Dane and Jos followed the screams, and when they saw Rosso's corpse, they wanted to question, but they saw Moran still sipping wine slowly, and their hearts couldn't help but sink to the bottom.
"It's not interesting, Brother Rosso is a little ignorant of current affairs, and there are a few others, forgive me for not remembering their names, but dead people, there is no need to remember, Lord Nohe, the truth of success and defeat was taught to me by Lord Nolan, it was taught to me by His Majesty Ye Bei, and it is the same now, if you don't understand, I will teach you today." ”
Moran took the last sip of the glass and sang in a hoarse voice, "Green leaves, fall on your forehead, wipe off the marks, yellow leaves, fall on your clothes, wounds covered, red leaves, fall on your grave, draw the curtain, tonight, heavy rain fills the hall, dilutes the blood, tomorrow everything will be as it was before......"
The musician played the ballad, the flute, the drums, and the piano all together, and the cold and hoarse singing was like the tip of a knife scraping the floor, the younger generation may not know, but with the prelude, Noch knew that it was a fallen leaf song, and he also understood what Moran meant.
Countless guards in armor immediately surrounded the five of Nohe, and the musicians and dancers on the second floor took out their bows and crossbows, all aimed at Nohe, this is not an ordinary bow and crossbow, there is a spiritual array engraved on it, and every arrow is powerful, as for those living vassals also took off their masks and watched coldly, they don't want to go against the royal family, they just want to keep their status and fiefdom, why do they want to follow Nohe to rebel desperately?
"Father!, what are you ......?"
Mo Nan didn't understand, and none of Moran's children understood why he did this, but soon, they were all taken out of the hall by the guards, and Dane quickly kidnapped the seventeen-year-old Mo Xun, who was Moran's third son, but that's all, Jos also wanted to capture a Moran heir, but was forced back by the guards.
"Father save me!"
Mo Xun cried hoarsely, the sharp blade against his throat, as if it would cut his skin in the next second and send him to the seventh-layer heaven, but he didn't know anything, how did it suddenly become like this, Mo Lan obviously didn't tell him anything.
"Lord Moran, you don't have to do this, you forgot that we were once allies, and we also fought side by side during the Battle of Pacification, why don't we each take a step back, you let us go, I will release your son, this matter is over, we have not come. Dane forced his composure and made his last effort.
Moran looked at Dane with interest, "A fool believes stupid words, Sir Dane, I want to ask back, what are you going to do? Lord Nolan assassinated His Majesty, you still have to lead the army to the north, such a big rebellion, how to do it for me, I am also very embarrassed, but I am a loyal person, this kind of thing can never be done, you might as well ask all the adults present, are they willing to follow your family?"
"Lord Nohe, please forgive me, if it is to attack a foreign enemy, I will naturally be duty-bound, but you are going to lead the army north, which is not good for the royal family, and it is difficult for me to approve. ”
"Lord Nohe, please die here with your 100,000 troops. ”
"Why bother talking nonsense with this chaotic minister and thief, and kill him directly. ”
......
Thirteen vassals, one no more and one no less, just like he said, Nohe was not surprised, he laughed instead, "This is the first time, someone dares to ask me to die in front of me, it seems that too much time has passed, so long...... You have forgotten what my sword looks like. ”
Jos protected Elsie behind him, and now he was completely awake from his wine, looking at the dense guards in front of him, as well as the crossbowmen on the second floor, cold sweat fell down his forehead one by one.
"Lord Moran, don't you really think about my suggestion?"
Dane's palms were full of sweat, he actually didn't want to do it, there were too many people on the other side, once he moved, Nohe and Adam might be able to resist, or even break through, but he really didn't have the confidence to survive, the strength shown by these guards in front of him was at least in the realm of absolute will, even if it was forcibly promoted through special means, how could he survive so many people.
"I'm sorry, Sir Dain, he's just a useless son, I've always believed that there is a price to be paid for everything you do, and I think I can afford it, let's go, Monan, ladies and gentlemen, the feast should begin, and we won't bother Lord Nohe. ”
Mo Lan sneered, turned around and led Mo Nan out of the side door and left the hall, followed by the thirteen vassals, they had more important things to discuss.
"Father!, why are you ...... Brother Mo Nan, save me......"
Mo Xun cried in despair, but Mo Lan didn't look back at all, Mo Nan seemed to want to save him, but he didn't dare to disobey Mo Lan, he just looked back at Mo Xun blankly, watching the extremely sharp blade press into his throat, and the moment the blood splattered, the door slammed shut.
Mo Xun rolled his eyes blankly, and let out a wordless accusation, feces and urine ran down his pants, and the stench of filth masked the smell of blood, but it didn't matter anymore, because he would die in a short time.
......
"Father, what the hell is going on? Why don't you tell me!?" Mo Nan felt unspeakably uncomfortable in his heart, he couldn't tell whether it was the anger of being treated as a fool by Mo Lan or the tragic death of Mo Xun.
"The best way to reduce the number of accidents is to keep the secret in your heart, so that the moment it is revealed, it will surprise people, right? Dane's expression is very exciting, you don't need to participate in this kind of thing, you just need to watch, in this world, power and wealth represent everything, but it is like a spider silk, if you use too much force, it will break off and throw you into the seven layers of hell, but if you don't do anything at all, it will be stretched longer and longer by you, and it will fall into the abyss. ”
"Yes...... But Mo Xun, he is your son, my brother!" Mo Nan tried to organize his words and tried to refute.
Mo Lan glanced at him casually, his eyes were as cold as a poisonous snake flicking its tail, "Mo Nan, I have taught you a lot of things, but whether it is spiritual or etiquette, it is not the most important thing, what you should learn the most is to make trade-offs and give up some unimportant things in exchange for the desired result, Mo Xun is indeed my son and your younger brother, but that's all, is he worthy of the fief under the command of the Nuo family? Is it comparable to the status and wealth of our Mo family?" It's not as good as this, do you still need me to teach you this simple trade-off?"
Cold, cold to the heart.
Mo Nan only felt that his whole body was trembling, but he still didn't give up, stopped and blocked in front of Mo Lan, and only asked, "What if I am the one who is being held hostage?"
Moran chuckled, didn't answer him, reached out and patted Mo Nan's shoulder, and walked past him.
Yes, even if it is himself, for his father, the status and wealth of the family are the most important, Mo Xun's life can be given up, his life is the same, if he dies, he will die, and it is a big deal to choose one of the other sons as the heir, even if they are all dead, the big deal is to have another one, which will not change anything.
Moran is now thinking about the follow-up after Nohe's death, he is not worried about changes at all, since Nohe and they came to Sunset City, the end of this banquet has been doomed, he has carefully prepared a big gift for Nohe, this is just an appetizer, the main dish has not yet been served, calculate the time, the Iron Guard is about to arrive.
Ice Plains Sword Hero?
After living for so long, it's time for the legend to come to an end.
Lightning streaked across the sky, thunder rumbled, castles were white, the rushing river rose higher and higher, the winds intensified, the soldiers who had traveled long distances slept in their tents, the thunder did not wake them, the rain did not wake them, the medicine had worked, and the hundred thousand soldiers slept like dead men.
They could never have imagined that their companions, who were sleeping beside them, would suddenly wake up while they were asleep, pull out a knife and slash their throats, pierce their hearts, and even when it came to death, they would not be able to open their eyes and see who had killed them.
One after another, the blood was diluted by the rain and flowed into the moat, dyeing the originally clear water of the river crimson, and the rushing river was bright red and gorgeous, as if it had just been splashed out of the veins.
After Mo Ling'er came out of Sunset Castle, she happened to see Moran come back with a group of people, she carefully hid behind the bushes on the side by the night, and waited until Moran walked into Sunset Castle before she dared to poke her head out, but then what caught her eye was the bright red turbulent river, and the heart that was originally hanging fell directly to the bottom and fell to pieces, she knew that she was still a step slower after all.
