Murong Yu squeezed his shoulders tightly, trying to calm him down: "Don't worry, I won't let you die!"
Murong Qi looked at him, and Murong Yu stared into his eyes: "Others want to protect their children, but Your Majesty wants to protect himself. These people are cowards! They are not worthy of continuing the bloodline of the Murong tribe! You and I, we are the ones who deserve to live, even if living will become very painful, we have to endure it!"
Murong was stunned: "What do you mean?"
Murong Yan let go of him and took a step back. "In the past, the people of the Central Plains kowtowed to us and begged for mercy. Now we have to do the same to them. I know you don't want to bow to the people of the Central Plains, but remember, this is temporary. The Murong tribe will never be slaves of others. We are the masters. We have the imperial power bestowed by God. All those who have bullied us will have their bones broken and become fertilizer for the pasture. So I will survive at all costs, even if that cost is betraying the Murong tribe. I will kneel at Qu Yunmie's feet and be obedient like an animal until I find an opportunity to cut off his head."
Murong Qi: "Betrayal...you mean..."
Murong Yu: "I will offer His Majesty to him. If that is not enough, I have something else that can impress him."
Murong Qi's breathing suddenly became rapid. Handing over the emperor personally was not just an ordinary betrayal, but would make all the Xianbei people hate him to the core.
But... he was willing to do it.
The Murong tribe succeeded in coming to power by killing the previous emperor and even exterminating the entire royal family. Now the Xianbei are at the critical moment of life and death, and it is hard to say whether there will still be Xianbei in the future. So why should he consider the ideas of other Xianbei people?
What's more, Murong Yu was right. Living like this was harder than dying, and this was what the Xianbei warriors should do.
Murong Qi and Murong Yi hit it off immediately, and then the two began to discuss how to avoid the death tomorrow. Murong Yi needed someone to help him, and Murong Qi didn't want to die. ...
The two of them discussed for a long time, and Murong Qi did not leave until the moon was at its highest point in the sky. Murong Yu thought about the details for a while, and then he went to the military camp surrounded by his personal guards.
Both of them were full of worries, because they didn't know whether Murong Qi would be able to escape unscathed the next day, but they soon found that they were thinking too much.
Because no matter whether they or the Xianbei, there is no second day. *
When Murong Yu went to the military camp outside the city, a pointed object just popped out from one of the walls of Shengle.
That was the tip of the Xue Yinchou Spear, which was covered by Qu Yunmie with a piece of black cloth so that it would no longer reflect light.
The tip of the spear appeared first, and then Qu Yunmie's hands grabbed the city wall. He held his breath and listened carefully to the movements nearby. Until he was sure that there was no one around, he took a deep breath, turned over and stood on it.
His movements were very light, but they still made some noise in the quiet night. He looked around vigilantly, then leaned against the battlement of the city wall and took out the bird whistle that Xiao Rong had hung around his neck himself.
Three short beats and one long beat is the call of a shrike, and it is also a signal to move forward.
If someone passes by here, he will find that this wall is a bit strange. When the clouds disperse and the moonlight shines down, he will find that there are five people hanging on the wall. They are hung in the same straight line, not daring to move, as if they are the pendants of the wall. …
Hearing the bird's cry, the five people immediately breathed a sigh of relief. They did not have the king's physical strength to hold on to the city wall forever. If the king did not blow the whistle, they would soon fall down.
Climbing the wall was not as difficult as they imagined, just like climbing a tree, they all climbed up quickly. But it was not because they were strong enough, but because Qu Yunmie made it easy for them.
This is a rammed earth wall. If it was made of stone bricks, there would always be gaps, and it would not be so difficult to climb. The Xianbei people used rammed earth at that time to prevent people from climbing up. If they spent more time, the earth would be as hard as stone bricks.
But the prerequisite was that he couldn't run into a weirdo like Qu Yunmie. He was afraid that those people wouldn't be able to climb up, so he used his bare hands to dig out a gap with each step he took, then smashed it hard with his elbow, and finally threw away the broken soil. In this way, a foothold that could be stepped on appeared. ...
After the last person climbed up, Qu Yunmie walked north. However, after he had taken a few steps, a door next to him suddenly opened.
This should be the place where weapons are placed on the city wall. Qu Yunmie didn't expect that there were people here. He had no time to think. He pulled out the Xue Yinchou Spear on his back with his backhand, and then stabbed forward suddenly - Qu Yunmie stabbed him in the throat. He couldn't make a sound, but could make the sound of blood gurgling.
Fortunately, he was close. If he was far away, even Qu Yunmie would not be able to stop him from screaming.
The five people behind looked at each other in bewilderment. In the blink of an eye, the king had taken a person's life, and he did not need their cooperation at all. ... Then what on earth were they doing here?
They didn't figure out the problem until they got close to the north gate. There weren't many accidents along the way, and most of them were solved by Qu Yunmie. Even though a few died at the hands of those five people, they still believed that the king could solve them even without them.
Things went smoothly until they were almost at the north gate, when pursuers appeared from behind because the patrol discovered the bodies.
Qu Yunmie instantly quickened his pace, and when he reached the city gate, he didn't even take the stairs, but jumped directly from the upstairs. The five people upstairs looked over carefully, and saw that Qu Yunmie was already hacking and killing the guards at the north gate.
Yes, either they were fighting or he was just hacking and killing unilaterally.
The five people upstairs: “…”
They hurriedly chased after him and joined the battle. When most of the guards were killed and the pursuers from the upper floor were about to come down, Qu Yunmie roared, "Go open the city gate!"
At the same time, he took out a bird whistle and blew it with all his strength. The sharp sound instantly broke through the sky, waking up the birds and beasts in the forest, as well as the sleeping Xianbei people in the city.
The five people finally understood their roles. One person could not open the city gate. It required the joint efforts of several people. Even five people were not enough. It took ten people to push the city gate open.
But it doesn’t matter, because there are not just five of them coming, there are also fourteen thousand people outside.
With the combined efforts of the five of them, the city gate was opened a crack. The pursuers on the upper floor were almost furious when they saw this scene, but it was too late to say anything now. The heavy city gate made a mournful sound, and the sound became louder and louder, because the reinforcements outside had arrived. Hundreds of hands were placed on the city gate, pushing it together. The slow process was instantly accelerated. Yu Shaocheng was the first to rush in. He laughed and ran directly towards the pursuers.
Dongfang Jin and others were not as reckless as Yu Shaocheng. They first found Qu Yunmie, confirmed that he was okay, and then handed his horse to him.
But Qu Yunmie did not mount his horse immediately. He took out a piece of white cloth from his arms. That was the one Xiao Rong had distributed to all the soldiers before, and Qu Yunmie also kept one for himself. He forgot why he did not use it last time, but obviously, it was right to keep it until today, because today was the real battle of revenge.
He slowly wrapped the white cloth around his hands, starting from the base of his thumb, which just happened to cover the small scars left when he climbed the wall. After wrapping it tightly, Qu Yunmie raised his head and looked at the fierce fighting not far away, then he smiled slowly: "Go, kill all these people, but remember not to destroy the things here, because from this moment on, this city is ours."
