Chapter 329 Xie Mufeng is dead
But the soldiers did not move.
Firstly, Xie Mufeng had chilled their feelings, and secondly, both sides were sons of the Duke of Zhenguo, and they really didn't want to see brothers fighting each other.
What's more, the identity of the prince seems to be more convincing than that of a mere bastard's son.
"You don't even obey my orders. Do you want to rebel?" Xie Mufeng's eyes were red and he roared like a lion madly.
As he spoke, he casually took out the piece of scrap metal wrapped in a silk handkerchief from his arms.
"The tiger talisman is here. Anyone who dares to disobey will be beheaded on the spot!" Xie Mufeng tore off the silk handkerchief and held it high.
As soon as these words came out, everyone's eyes fell on his hands.
The scene was deathly silent, with only the whimpering of the north wind echoing in the valley.
Tiger Tally?
The tiger talisman that the Duke of Zhenguo lost at Yumen Pass is in his hands?
After seeing the scrap metal in his hand, not to mention Shen Wan, even the usually serious Xie Mubai curled his lips, and the others were completely broken and laughed so hard that they fell forward and backward.
"So this is what your tiger talisman looks like!" Ling Xiaoxiao covered her stomach, almost laughing herself to death. "Brother, even if you're lying, you should at least be more careful and make it something decent!"
"If you are so poor that you can't even afford a piece of bronze, I can give you my furnace for refining cauldrons."
"If you just drop it on the ground and pick up any fragment, it will look more like this!"
Listening to the shrill laughter, Xie Mufeng was confused.
Looking at the soldiers behind him, their faces were so gloomy that you could almost squeeze water out of them.
"Third Master, so this is the tiger talisman?" the burly man asked word by word with a dark face.
If it’s not the tiger talisman, what else could it be?
Confused, Xie Mufeng took a closer look at the object in his hand.
When he saw the piece of scrap metal, he was so scared that his whole body trembled and he almost fell to the ground.
"How could this happen?" He couldn't believe his eyes. "Where's the tiger talisman? Where's my tiger talisman?"
Since obtaining this tiger talisman, Xie Mufeng has kept it carefully.
He wrapped it in a silk handkerchief and stuffed it under the mattress. No one knew where it was except himself.
Just yesterday when he returned to the cave to do some work, he secretly opened it and took a look.
How could a good tiger talisman turn into a piece of scrap metal in just one day?
Xie Mubai put away the smile on his face and looked at him coldly.
"Third brother, shouldn't you explain yourself?" He frowned, a chill running through his words. "Dad always carries the tiger talisman with him, so how could it suddenly appear in your hands?"
Upon hearing this, Xie Mufeng felt his heartbeat inexplicably accelerate, and his eyes were filled with dense scarlet bloodshot like spider webs.
He gritted his teeth, his confidence clearly lacking. "The situation was critical at the time. Dad knew there was no hope of breaking out, so he handed the Tiger Tally to me and told me to avenge the 100,000 soldiers at Yumen Pass!"
Strange, how could this happen?
He is in very good health, so how could he suddenly feel anxious and short of breath?
He didn't know that this was the effect of Shen Wan's injection.
The venom on the needle will flow through the blood and invade the heart, causing him to feel anxious and short of breath, and eventually even walking will become a luxury.
It was clearly a sign of physical discomfort, but in the eyes of others it was seen as a sign of guilt.
"Really?" Looking at those scarlet eyes, Xie Mubai sneered sinisterly, "Dad is not stupid. Even if it's revenge, he will never choose someone who faked his death!"
"Could it be that he thinks the Zhenguogong Mansion is too prosperous and is deliberately giving the Emperor a reason to exterminate the entire family?"
"Let me ask you again, where did you meet Dad?"
The general faked his own death, which is a crime of deceiving the emperor!
Once the dog emperor finds out, it will bring disaster to the Xie family!
Xie Mufeng covered his chest, feeling his heart aching more and more.
He gasped for breath and spoke intermittently, "In... in White Wolf Ridge..."
"You're talking nonsense!" Boss He immediately exposed the allegation, "The Duke's troops never passed through Bailang Ridge!"
"Besides, if you met the Duke there, why didn't you bring him back?"
"Could it be... that you killed the Duke?"
As soon as these words were spoken, everyone's expression suddenly changed.
Xie Mufeng shook his head desperately.
He wanted to explain, but his body felt more and more uncomfortable, and even speaking was a little difficult.
When he saw the mocking smile on Shen Wan's lips, he suddenly understood.
That’s right, it must be this girl who did it!
It was she who poisoned him, and it was she who stole the tiger talisman!
If I'm not mistaken, even Xie Mubai was lured here by her!
"Damn it!" The burly man's eyes were red, and the cold long knife in his hand was directly placed on Xie Mufeng's neck. "Tell me quickly, how did the Duke die?"
They were his subordinates the moment before, but in the blink of an eye, they were fighting with swords and guns.
Xie Mufeng knew clearly that he had lost, and lost miserably.
But he swore to heaven that he really did not kill the Duke of Zhenguo.
That's his biological father!
When Xie Mufeng arrived at Yumen Pass, the battlefield was already a river of blood.
In his search for the Duke of Zhenguo, his shoes were worn out.
Later, he saw the Duke of Zhenguo's warhorse, which led him to Bailang Ridge.
At Bailang Ridge, Xie Mufeng did not find the Duke of Zhenguo, but only picked up this half tiger talisman.
Xie Mufeng did not answer, but just looked at Xie Mubai quietly.
"If I say I didn't kill my father, would you believe me?" he asked weakly in a hoarse voice.
Xie Mubai didn't say anything.
Seeing that he remained silent, Xie Mufeng smiled sadly.
He turned to look at Shen Wan and asked weakly, "You did this to me... right?"
Shen Wan shrugged but did not deny it.
"Good, very good!" Xie Mufeng nodded slightly and smiled weakly, "Fifth brother has such a virtuous wife to help him, it would be strange if he doesn't win."
Before he finished speaking, he suddenly slammed heavily into the sharp long sword.
Xie Mubai lowered his eyes, unable to bear to look.
But the bright red blood still dyed the white snow red.
Xie Mufeng is dead, really dead this time.
Xie Mubai did not bury him in the Xie family's ancestral tomb, but on the small hill opposite.
It doesn’t matter who is buried in the ancestral tomb. What matters is that person is the great hero "Xie Mufeng".
How could a man from the Xie family be a villain who murdered his own brother?
Looking at the small grave, Xie Mubai did not shed tears, but felt mixed emotions.
Shen Wan did not comfort him either.
She knew clearly that no matter how many words she spoke, they would be pale and powerless at this moment.
"Let's go to the ancestral temple." After a long time, Xie Mubai suddenly spoke.
The ancestral temple was only a mile away from the ancestral tomb. Two or three servants lived in the west wing, responsible for daily sacrifices in the temple and the ancestral tomb.
The tablet of the Duke of Zhenguo was new, and in front of it were some of his favorite cakes.
I have to say that the people in the ancestral temple are quite responsible.
Xie Mubai and Shen Wan walked forward and knelt down on two half-worn cushions.
Looking at the brand new tablet, Xie Mubai smiled sadly: "Dad, my third brother is looking for you."
"When we get there, please teach him a lesson so he doesn't go astray again."
He took Shen Wan’s hand and said with tears in his eyes: “By the way, Dad, this is Shen Wan, your daughter-in-law, whom you have seen before!”
"Dad, don't worry, I will definitely take good care of the prince." Shen Wan heard this and kowtowed quickly, "I will have more children in the future and expand the Xie family!"
Although he had never met him, the Duke of Zhenguo was his future father-in-law after all, so he must show proper etiquette.
After hearing this, Xie Mubai looked at her with complicated eyes.
That complicated look made Shen Wan suddenly feel a little puzzled.
Why does he see himself this way?
Doesn't he want to have children with her?
