Chapter 69 "Mr. Xun"
When the confidant Amur walked into the big tent, a sad and beautiful scene came into his eyes.
Tuoba Xun was handsome, always wearing a flamboyant red robe. Now he was lying on his side on the bed as usual, leaning against the back of the bed, his eyes closed, quiet and peaceful.
The ground was littered with empty wine jugs and... glaring blood.
The blood was all over the floor, splattered everywhere, staining the paper, ink, brush and inkstone beside him red, and also staining his red clothes red.
The blood on the sword dripped down one by one, gathering into a shapeless pool of blood, like a beautiful Mansa pearl growing there.
Tuoba Xun was born with unbridled pride. Even when he died, there was still a smile on the corner of his mouth, which was free and bright.
He closed his eyes quietly, as if he was having a beautiful dream from which he never wanted to wake up.
Perhaps in his dreams, he is still the young Liu Xun, rather than Tuoba Xun who is cursed and lives an unsatisfactory life.
The pungent smell of blood hit Amur in the face. Amur looked at Tuoba Xun with lifeless eyes. It felt like his heart and lungs were filled with countless pebbles. His breaths were filled with blood. He curled up slightly in pain, covered his heart with his hands, and gasped for breath.
He wanted to walk closer to wake up his sleeping master, but his feet felt like they were filled with lead and he couldn't move a step. He could only watch stupidly.
A familiar voice seemed to appear beside my ears——
"Amur, what is the meaning of life?"
At that time, Tuoba Xun was looking straight at the endless grassland, with a faint smile on his lips, making Amur unable to tell his master's emotions.
He just instinctively felt that something was wrong, something was wrong with his master.
Amur was tongue-tied and didn't know how to answer, so he could only purse his lips and stay quietly by Tuoba Xun's side.
Just like now, he was still accompanying the dead Tuoba Xun.
However, at this moment, he opened his lips slightly and whispered something that no one could hear -
"The meaning of Amur's life is to be a knife for the master, and to follow you forever."
He would never forget what Tuoba Xun said when he bought him from the slave owner: "From now on, your name will be Amur, which means peace and prosperity."
The young man was standing with his back to the light, his gaze was calm, but the smile on his lips was flamboyant, and his red clothes were more dazzling than the sun.
At that moment, the young Amur thought that the legendary gods seemed to really exist.
At this moment, his God...had left him.
Amur took two steps forward stiffly, lowered his eyes to look at the bloodstains all over the ground, and finally couldn't move his legs.
"Master, can you please wait for me to kill them and then come back to find you."
"Amur will always follow you, regardless of life or death. I swear I won't let you wait too long. It's too boring down there, so let me accompany you."
"Master, Amur doesn't want peace and prosperity."
His eyes fell on the quiet sleeping face, and Amur looked at her straightly without saying a word.
Soon, a person hurried in and said anxiously: "Leave quickly, Tuoba Xiao..."
Before he finished speaking, Chu Lei's pupils shrank and his whole body froze: "Master Xun!"
His mission was to keep Tuoba Xun safe. Initially, he thought he had to save him from Tuoba Xiao, but his master said he only had to keep him from committing suicide.
At that time, Chu Lei didn’t understand, but he didn’t think that he would eventually lose it.
A hoarse voice interrupted Chu Lei's thoughts: "Leave."
It was the first time Chu Lei heard Amur's voice in a few days. He only said, "Take your people and leave."
Chu Lei: "What about you?"
"I will take people to stay in the grassland."
Chu Lei frowned.
Amur: "The master has ordered that if he is in trouble, we will all obey General Chu. Go back and tell General Chu that we are ready to obey orders on the grassland at any time, regardless of life or death, but only hope to kill Tuoba Xiao."
Chu Lei's eyes darkened and he nodded seriously: "Okay."
After a pause, he strode to the desk, picked up the two letters, sighed lightly, put the letters in his pocket, and left the tent.
"As soon as possible."
Amur responded, took one last look at Tuoba Xun, closed his eyes tightly, and turned away.
He couldn't take Tuoba Xun away because he knew that his master had other plans and would use his body as the final step.
A crowd of people evacuated hurriedly.
Almost an incense stick later, Tuoba Xiao and his men hurried over, with a terribly gloomy look on their faces. They suddenly opened the curtain and unexpectedly saw Tuoba Xun lying in a pool of blood.
He thought Tuoba Xun had run away, but he didn't expect...
“Brother!!” Tuoba Xiao called out in a trembling voice, and rushed forward, hugging Tuoba Xun tightly in his arms: “Brother, wake up! Brother!!”
His eyes were full of tears and he was extremely sad.
However, the subordinates who followed him were confused and looked at each other in confusion.
It didn't take long for Tuoba Xiao to say angrily, "Brother, don't worry, Xiao'er will definitely avenge you!"
He stood up, cast a heavy gaze at his men, and gritted his teeth: "Send the order!"
"Chu Mo poisoned Master Xun at Yunan Pass. Master Xun became poisoned as soon as he returned to the grassland. He died today."
He choked with sobs, full of sorrow and deep hatred: "I, Cao Yuan, will never forgive him!! I will never forgive Da Sui!!!"
The men shouted in unison: "We will never forgive Chu Mo! We will never forgive Da Sui!!"
"I will never forgive Chu Mo! I will never forgive Yu Dasui!!"
Tuoba Xiao looked at the group of people who had just entered the tent, his eyes sinister, and said in a difficult manner: "Now that my brother has been killed, what are your plans?"
This group of people are leaders of various ethnic groups, and most of them obey Tuoba Xun's orders, not because of loyalty, but because of the current situation.
They all knew what Tuoba Xiao was planning, but... now that Tuoba Xun was dead, it was not certain who would have the final say on the grassland in the future.
How dare a mere Tuoba Xiao give them orders? Do you really think you are Tuoba Xun? ?
Several old foxes looked at each other, frowned, crossed their arms, and said slowly: "Now that the grassland king is dead, the leader of the Tuoba tribe must be Master Xiao, but..."
Tuoba Xiao's face was gloomy: "Just what?"
"As for the grassland king... we still need to choose a new one. What do you think, Master Xiao?"
Tuoba Xiao: "I think the most important thing now is to attack Dasui, kill Chu Mo, and avenge my brother."
"Of course, but the leader of the army..."
"I will lead the troops myself." Tuoba Xiao straightened his back, full of pride: "No matter whether it is military tactics or martial arts, nothing can stop me. I will make sure Chu Mo dies without a burial place!"
Several people lowered their eyes to hide the sarcasm in their eyes.
It's really like a newborn calf that is not afraid of a tiger. Ignorance is terrifying.
But it's also good. Without Tuoba Xun and then Tuoba Xiao, the Tuoba clan, which has ruled the grassland for many years, will no longer be able to rise up. This is beneficial to them and has no disadvantages.
It’s just a pity…
Several people looked at Tuoba Xun in a pool of blood and sighed secretly -
It is a pity that the brilliant and talented Mr. Xun passed away in such a hasty manner, and it is a pity that his heart that always cared about the grassland was not understood by most people.
Unfortunately... after that, there was no more "Master Xun" on the grassland.
