Chapter 615: King Human: A bunch of bastards!
The old man was squatting on a chair, gnawing on the braised chicken feet that the secret guards of the Killing Hall had brought back from the city early in the morning, and he would spit out a chicken bone from time to time.
"Baby, let's stay here peacefully for ten days. Can Broken Blade really come back safely? You can't fool me, Grandpa is very worried. He is my son after all. He is a great general. Even if he has to die, he should die on the battlefield, not in the scheme of a sinister villain."
King Hu Man glanced at the old man's mouth covered with sauce, wondering how he could even say the word "worry". It didn't look like he was worried at all.
Tian Bao smiled softly, "If I don't coax you, I'll really come back."
Little Wheat Ear rolled his eyes at the old man's dirty look, took out a clean handkerchief and wiped the sauce off the corner of his mouth, "I talked to you for half the night last night, why are you here again?
The Central Plains is already peaceful. The only ones who can do such a thing are the three major forces in the outside world. Without sufficient support, ordinary people cannot trap Uncle Broken Knife.
Now that the Hu and Man have been eliminated, the only ones left are the Xiongnu and Tartars.
But they didn't dare to kill Uncle Broken Blade, because if he died, Dai Viet would definitely send troops to the Hu Man to avenge his uncle and eventually incorporate the Hu Man into its territory. The Central Plains would become more powerful, which was not what those people really wanted.
Their real purpose is to kill with a borrowed knife. They will use our knife to stir up the Human Rebellion first, and then return Uncle Broken Knife to calm the anger of Dai Viet. They can then take advantage of the situation and drive their troops to attack the Human under the pretext of suppressing the rebellion in foreign lands, so as to expand the territory and strengthen the strength of their country.
If you don't believe it, just wait for fifteen days. You will definitely not find Uncle Duan Dao within fifteen days. It will definitely be after fifteen days.
We are waiting for Uncle Broken Blade to come back, while they are waiting for the death of the Human King and for the Human Kingdom to fall into chaos."
King Hu Man, “…”
"Dai Yue possesses divine weapons, and all the forces in the Outer Realm are wary of them. They're also afraid that after conquering the Hu Man, Dai Yue won't be satisfied and will turn to attack other tribes, unifying the entire Outer Realm. In their eyes, Dai Yue is using the life of a dying veteran general to justify conquering the Outer Realm—why not? They're the kind of people who judge others by their own standards, so," Bai Yu said with a smile, "they're more afraid than we are that something might happen to Uncle Broken Knife."
Su Wu snatched a chicken claw from the old man and chewed it. "Alright, alright, don't worry. We're too late to rush back to save them. But Uncle Broken Blade isn't fighting alone. Uncle Bai and my eldest brother have already arrived in the southern border with Mo Cang and Wang Bai."
"Don't worry, don't worry, I'm not worried anymore!" The old man smacked his lips, as if he just remembered that there was the Barbarian King who was abducted early in the morning. The old man was surprised and embarrassed, "Oh, I forgot to save some food for you! You came here so early in the morning and you haven't eaten yet? I heard your stomach rumbling... What should I do? Grandpa just forgot you were here. Next time, next time I'll save some for you! Yeah!"
King Hu Man, “…”
He turned his face away indifferently.
I don't want to say a word more.
It turns out that all the people sitting here are a group of smart people.
He was a barbarian king, and everything was arranged for him by others. His role was just a tool that didn't need to speak or think.
But he didn't want to talk, because someone didn't want to let him go.
Bai Xiaofeng tapped the table with his fingers to attract his attention, a faint smile plastered on his face. "Your Majesty, your guards have surrounded us tightly. I'd like you to show up and ask them to leave, so that we don't have any inconvenience in coming in and out. You don't want Hu Man to be plotted against by someone behind the scenes, do you?"
King Hu Man, “…”
A bunch of bastards!!
…
The few of them spent fifteen days peacefully in this quiet place outside the city.
Fresh food is delivered to the city every day. Apart from the shabby living conditions, everything is comfortable. No one dares to disturb me when I go out for a walk.
Compared with the peaceful and leisurely atmosphere here, the palace is becoming increasingly chaotic.
The Queen Mother was so worried during the past ten days that she seemed to have aged several years. She kept issuing various orders, but achieved little.
As the agreed time drew near, the Queen Mother finally couldn't bear it anymore and fell ill overnight.
The chaos of the Human Dynasty worsened.
The fifteenth day.
The Queen Mother dragged her sick body and took a carriage out of the city alone to pick up the Human King as requested.
All the officials in the court gathered in front of the palace gate, feeling anxious and uneasy.
Fifteen days.
They tried everything but still failed to find Dai Viet General Yuan Yao, nor could they find the person hiding in the dark.
Your Majesty, I'm afraid, I'm afraid—
It was late afternoon when the Queen Mother's carriage returned.
The Queen Mother opened the curtain and got out of the car. Her eyes were bloodshot, her face was as pale as gold paper, her silver hair was trembling, and her eyes were filled with murderous hatred.
Her gaze fell on the stunned official standing in front of her. It was Prince Human, her second son, who had rushed back from his fiefdom to help. "Come here, carry your brother back to the palace."
After giving the order, she looked at the ministers who were hesitant to speak, gritted her teeth, and squeezed out words one by one, "I, the King of Hu Man, died this morning at the hands of Su Jiuni! From this moment on, Hu Man and Dai Yue are irreconcilable! The fight will not stop until one side dies!!"
Upon hearing the tragic news, the ministers were shocked and heartbroken, "Your Majesty—!"
Behind the ministers was the Queen Mother who had come to wait for news. She stumbled and fell to the ground, her face filled with shock and grief, "How could it be—"
Extremely grief-stricken, she struggled to her feet and stumbled towards the carriage, "Your Majesty, Your Majesty..."
Prince Human had already carried his brother on his back. The small half of his face that was exposed on the side had his eyes closed and his face was blue-gray, as if he had been dead for a long time.
Looking closer, it looks even more dead.
"You bitch, don't come near my prince, get out!" The Queen Mother pushed away the old woman who rushed over. Perhaps the hatred in her eyes was too strong, so when she looked at the Princess Dowager, it seemed as if she hated her.
The Queen Mother felt cold all over and fell to the ground, not daring to move.
Only after all the people gathered in front of the palace followed her inside did she prop herself up and stand up. With the support of the old palace maid, she limped behind the crowd.
The old maidservant was distracted, muttering in panic as she walked, "Queen Dowager, the King... the King is really dead..."
"Shut up!" The Queen Dowager scolded in a low voice, clasping her five fingers on the back of the maid's hand, pinching her painfully. "Don't say such things, lest people misunderstand!"
When no one was paying attention, the light in her eyes flashed twice quickly.
yes.
King Human is dead, really dead!
The king who once grabbed her neck and threw her out like a dog is dead!
The son that the Queen Mother was so proud of was dead!
It’s so good to die...!
The Queen Mother ordered the palace gates to be closed tightly, and she stayed in the palace without food or water for three days. During this period, no one was allowed to approach the palace. Anyone who violated the order would be regarded as a rebel and would be killed without mercy!
It was as if an old woman who had suddenly lost her beloved son could not accept the reality and went crazy.
The news of the king's death spread throughout the Human people at a rapid speed.
The Human people were extremely angry, and their hatred towards Dai Viet reached its highest point in an instant. They began a nationwide manhunt for the murderer of the king.
Those people seemed to have disappeared out of thin air and could not be found no matter how hard we looked.
The small wooden house outside the city is deserted.
Four or five days after the death of the Human King, news from inside the pass reached the royal city.
Dai Viet veteran general Yuan Yao appeared in the southern border military camp, intact.
