Chapter 588: Sky Burial (Part 2)
A middle-aged man standing behind Ugle grabbed his arm excitedly, indignant.
"Prince! This is a trap!"
In a hurry, he spoke directly in Wazhen.
Although the people present did not understand what he said, they could all guess what he meant.
Chen Songshi murmured softly:
"Lure the tiger away from the mountain and take advantage of the opportunity to attack. What a good strategy!"
Tang Zhongli stroked his beard and narrowed his eyes slightly, as if recalling the past.
After a while, he chuckled and said:
"I have seen their fourth prince. He was still a very skinny boy at that time and was not appreciated by his father. I never expected that many years later, he would replace his father."
Everyone thought that person would be Ugel, especially since Mumu Zhen'er was seriously ill and sent him to the capital for peace talks. When he returned with this great achievement, the position of leader of Wazhen would almost be in his pocket.
But who could have thought that at this very moment, he would be severely cheated!
How could Ugle not guess it?
He froze there, feeling as if all the blood in his body had stopped flowing and his brain felt as if it had been hit hard by an axe.
Although Emperor Mu Wu was also quite surprised, he was used to storms after all, so he quickly regained his composure and said:
"Mumu Zhen'er just passed away, and the fourth prince has succeeded to the throne. He should be busy with many things. Why did you write a golden letter at this time?"
Many people were stunned when they heard this, and then realized: Yes! At this time, shouldn't Zora be busy consolidating her throne? How come the news came so quickly?
Is he afraid that Ugle doesn't know? Sending a letter specifically to mock?
But such a secretive person wouldn't do such an impatient thing...
The soldier replied:
"Your Majesty, this golden letter written by Zora is actually a wanted order. Wazhen has sent out letters to inform the world that the eldest prince Ugle has usurped the throne, murdered his father, and colluded with foreign forces to commit treason. He deserves death! From today on, he will be expelled forever. If he sets foot in Wazhen, he will be killed without mercy!"
It was like a bolt from the blue!
Everyone was stunned and couldn't recover for a long time.
What does this mean?
Ugle has become a traitor to Wazhen! ? And he was deported forever! ?
This golden letter is clearly a hunting order!
Ugler's blood rushed to his head and he was so angry that he laughed out loud, and his laughter was extremely sarcastic.
"Ha! Is he crazy? I led an embassy to travel for Wazhen, but in the end I became a sinner!? Ridiculous! It's really ridiculous!"
In a blink of an eye, he went from being a meritorious official to a criminal, and even threatened the world that he would not be allowed to set foot in Wazhen again, otherwise he would be killed!
Is there anything more ridiculous in the world than this! ?
Everyone in the delegation looked at his crazy appearance but could not laugh, and their faces turned pale.
Jin Xin has been sent, proving that things have really changed on Wa Jin's side!
They—can’t go back!
Gradually, Ugle couldn't laugh anymore.
In fact, he knew better than anyone what kind of situation he had fallen into.
A stray dog, nothing more than that!
Ugler's face turned cold, and he strode forward, snatched the golden letter, and unfolded it with a "swish"!
"Why--"
Eunuch Li hesitated to speak, but Emperor Mu Wu was not angry at all. He just leaned back in his chair and said, "Let him see."
Only then did everyone calm down.
Ugler tightly grasped the golden letter. He knew every word on it, but when they were put together they sounded ridiculous!
The rage surged wildly, and finally reached its peak when he saw the Khan seal at the end, which represented the highest status of Wazhen!
Bang!
Ugle threw the golden letter to the ground and cursed angrily in Wazhen, but he still felt unsatisfied.
“Damn it!”
He traveled thousands of miles for Wazhen, and that bastard actually played such a trick on him!
However, no matter how angry Ugler was, things had come to this point and could not be changed.
Right now, he has become the one with the most troubles - once Jin Xin leaves, he can't even go home.
No!
He must not sit still and wait for death!
Ugle's mind raced, and he made a decision almost immediately. He turned around and shouted to his confidant, "Pack your things immediately and set off back to Wazhen!"
But the decision quickly faced opposition.
"Prince! No! The Fourth Prince has already ascended the throne and has issued a warrant for your arrest. If you go back now, I'm afraid you will be in great danger!"
It goes without saying that at this time, Wazhen has become Zora's world.
If they go back like this, death will be waiting for them!
"He dares!"
Veins popped out on Ugle's forehead, and he seemed extremely angry.
"I have never betrayed the Wazhen people. He is slandering me! If I don't go back, I will be admitting the crime!"
He had invested so much effort and energy in Wazhen over the years, and was just one step away from that position, but failed at the last minute and had to bear such a stigma. How could he be willing to accept this! ?
"Can--"
The delegation looked at each other, not knowing what to do for a moment.
Back?
Zora must have set a tight net!
Not reply?
Am I really going to become a stray dog and live in exile for the rest of my life? ?
No matter which choice you make, it will be an extremely difficult road.
While Ugler and others were annoyed and worried about this, other people in the hall also had different thoughts.
Who could have thought that during the conversation, Wazhen would start an internal conflict?
Tang Zhongli looked at the two peace agreements placed in front of him and hesitated for a moment.
——The delegation has become traitors, so should we still sign this?
At this moment, Shen Yanchuan spoke again.
"Since the eldest prince intends to leave immediately, we should not delay any longer. However, it is already late today and the city gates are already closed. Even if the eldest prince wants to leave, it would be more appropriate for him to leave tomorrow morning."
Wu Gele was stunned, and for a moment he didn't understand what Shen Yanchuan meant by this.
Everyone in the hall was also puzzled - at this time, he was still persuading Ugle to return to Wazhen? Isn't this just sending people to their deaths?
But Chen Yanchuan seemed to have no idea that there was anything wrong with his words. He ignored all the looks and only glanced at the golden letter thrown on the ground.
"As I recall, Wazhen's funeral custom is sky burial."
Ugle's expression was shocked.
Yes!
The Wazhen people have lived on the grassland for generations and believe in gods. When people die, they do not choose cremation or burial, but sky burial.
The hyenas and vultures on the grassland are their final destination.
Chen Yanchuan paused and reminded, "Calculate the time. If the eldest prince returns tomorrow, perhaps he will still have time to see your father for the last time."
Master Wa firmly believes that after forty-nine days after death, the soul will return with the gods, completely ending this life.
Mumu Zhen'er passed away eight days ago. Ugel rushed back day and night, but it took him nearly a month to catch up with the end of the sky burial.
This sentence completely tipped the balance in Ugler's heart!
