Chapter 678 Panic
Shovel after shovel.

Every time the shovel was inserted into the soil, the friction sound made Hua Mulan's skin goosebumps all over her body.

She straightened up and reconfirmed that there was still no one around. In the moonlight, apart from the chirping of insects, the only sound left was the sound of herself shoveling the soil.

She looked down at the corpse wrapped in straw mats on the ground again. The indescribable sadness mixed with the acid water in her stomach made her retch a few times.

Although the order she received was only to throw the straw mat into the mass grave, but when she saw the crow on the branch that couldn't wait to flap its wings, Hua Mulan couldn't bear to pick up the soil shovel, planning to give Li Zhu a last shelter.

She didn't think Li Zhu was right, even though Tuoba Tao hadn't seen Li Zhu for a year, even Li Zhu's title was taken away because of making things difficult for Yingyan, even though Li Zhu was still young and would be imprisoned in the cold palace.

But death is like a lamp being extinguished, and Li Zhu's crime may have already been paid for with the back of his head that was smashed through.

What Hua Mulan didn't expect was that Tuoba Tao was furious after hearing this.

The extraordinary anger made Tuoba Tao order to flog the corpse.

At the beginning, Tuoba Tao just sat there suppressing his anger and imprisoned him, but finally got up directly, grabbed the whip and lashed Li Zhu's body fiercely.

No one dared to step forward to stop him.Instead, everyone hoped that His Majesty could just vent his anger on a dead person like this.

However, Tuoba Tao was obviously not satisfied and just punished the dead body that was motionless and wouldn't even cry out for mercy.So when Tuoba Tao searched viciously around with his red eyes, Zong Ai became the scapegoat without any suspense, and was beaten until he was left breathless.

Hua Mulan felt that the beating of Zong'ai was not complaining, not to mention that the "insider" entering and leaving the inner palace was originally the scope of his duties as a regular attendant. Tuoba Tao suspects that Zong Ai is aware of it.

Hua Mulan slowed down and confirmed that she would not really spit it out, then stood up and continued to dig the hole silently.

Tuoba Tao's anger was justifiable, but it still couldn't appease the turbulent waves in Hua Mulan's heart.

In her eyes, Tuoba Tao in the past, although he admired force, could be regarded as a wise monarch.

But what she witnessed today made Hua Mulan feel that what she was serving was just a wild beast... Even someone like Zong Ai who served him all day would still become a tool to vent his anger.

After the pit was dug, Hua Mulan carefully dragged the straw mat into it, fearing that if she was stronger, she would completely destroy the already fragmented corpse.

It is impossible to erect a tombstone, nor can a branch be inserted.

Hua Mulan looked at the slightly raised bump and sighed, "In my next life, I will have a good birth."

On the way back to the palace, Hua Mulan felt that every step was extremely difficult.It was as if he was walking towards his own execution ground.If Tuoba Tao knew that he was a woman, would Li Zhu's today be his fate?
When passing Helian Chang's former bedroom, Hua Mulan couldn't help but stop and take a look.But one day, this place has become an ominous place.

Princess Shiping had already been invited out during the day.Didn't even have time to bring anything.

It is said that the maid serving He Lianchang smelled the smell of blood in the room, so she had the courage to go to the inner room to check He Lianchang's bed.

But even though the maidservant reported it to Princess Shiping immediately, she was still given to death...

Hua Mulan felt cold all over. Compared with the dead maidservant and Zong Ai who didn't know whether she was dead or alive, what kind of status did she have to be confident...?
He Lianchang did not escape very far. On the [-]th day of the third month, the general of the northern Wei River west sentry captured and killed him.After verifying the facts of Helian Chang's rebellion, Tuoba Tao ordered to kill him and all the nobles who surrendered in the Xia Dynasty.

At this time, Tan Yaoyu was hesitating about the divination that Yun Daosheng handed him.

Probably understanding why Yao Yu was soft-hearted, Venerable Cangwu did not urge her to make a decision, but silently drank the good wine that Qin Zhongzhi found for him.

Tan Yaoyu knew that Tuoba Zhong would not appear in Jiankang for no reason.She also knew that Tuoba Zhong could never remain anonymous.

Tuoba Pojun may have left enough strength for his only son to protect himself at first, but it also gave Tuoba Zhong the illusion of a choice.

Currently sitting in this hall, apart from Tan Yaoyu and Qin Zhongzhi, others don't care about Tuoba Zhong's life or death.

Qin Zhongzhi, as a counselor who was loyal to Tuoba Pojun, really couldn't bear the old master's orphan.

After hesitating again and again, he still said: "Girl, why don't you send ministers to lobby, or you can make this war invisible..."

Tan Yaoyu rubbed the divination and military report in his hand, and said in disapproval: "You know that this is a futile move. Even if Tuoba Zhong is willing to retreat, neither will his followers, let alone Jiaoniang." Ken, they are already at the end of the rope. After hiding in Rouran for so many years, I am afraid that what Tuoba Pojun left is almost consumed. If Beiliang is not captured at this time, this team will probably starve to death on the grassland. "

Qin Zhongzhi sighed when he heard the words, he was [-]% uncertain when he spoke just now, and he really didn't know what reason to use to excuse Tuoba Zhong.

Cui Yong didn't know the past between Tan Yaoyu and Tuoba Zhong, and he only wanted to bring his heavy cavalry regiment to the battlefield. At this time, he couldn't bear to ask: "What does the eldest niece mean, do we send troops now?" Go to Beiliang?"

But Tan Yaoyu pressed the military report on the table, and said with certainty: "Put the soldiers still."

As soon as these words came out, Venerable Cangwu looked at Yao Yu with surprise.

In order to prevent Tuoba Zhong from making trouble, Tan Yaoyu didn't even go back to Xingzhe Building, dragging his drugged body directly from Jiankang back to Qiuchi.Now that the situation was clear, she unexpectedly chose to stand still?

Tan Yaoyu knew the doubts in everyone's hearts, and explained: "Whether it is Tuoba Zhong or Beiliang, it has nothing to do with Qiuchi and Xingzhe Tower. We have no name, even if we win a big victory, our merits will be damaged. Let's wait and see what happens. .”

Venerable Cangwu nodded in satisfaction upon hearing the words, "It's no wonder that I'm the granddaughter of this old man."

Faced with the temptation to expand the territory, not everyone can hold it.

Just seven days later, news came from Beiliang that Juqu Mengxun had died, the cause of death is unknown.But Juqu Mujian, who was supposed to succeed to the throne, was killed by Tuoba Zhong who assumed the name of the goddess.

In the end, Beiliang failed to survive the ten years that Tan invited Yu to talk about.After Tuoba Zhong occupied Guangwu City, he proclaimed himself king, and declared that he would sacrifice to heaven in January and change Beiliang to Western Wei.

When Tuoba Tao heard the news, his anger lost control again, and without thinking, he raised his sword and beheaded the two servants who were serving him.

"Tuoba Zhong...Tuoba Pojun! I have already lenient, why are you father and son still haunted! Why! Why exactly! Hua Mulan! Get the armor for me! I'm going to kill you This traitor! I would like to see how he, the Western Wei Dynasty, wants to build a country?!"

"Your Majesty! Wait a minute, Your Majesty!"
