Chaos on the temples: You can't escape if you provoke treacherous ministers

Chapter 1008 The Invaders

Yan Mu tilted his head and stared at Sikong Mingyue to make sure that she was not joking, and quickly moved outside.

"I have a wife and three children."

Sikong Mingyue raised her eyebrows, "So what?"

Yan Mu was speechless. Does this person not understand human language?
"It means I can't marry you!"

Sikong Mingyue snorted, "I saved you, you are mine and you should be left to my disposal."

"My life can be yours, but not my people." Yan Mu chuckled.

"How am I inferior to your wife?"

"Uh……"

"Say!"

"Stature, appearance, literary talent..."

"Shut up!" Sikong Mingyue gritted her teeth and interrupted Yan Mu, "Marry me and you will be the leader of the twelve tribes in the southwest!"

"My wife is the Queen Mother."

Sikong Mingyue was stunned for a moment. She forgot his identity for a moment. The position that everyone coveted was not in his eyes at all.Thinking of this, Sikong Mingyue took a deep breath.

"If it weren't for the fact that others have their own intentions in marrying me, and I need a new leader in the southwest, I wouldn't consider you."

"Why can't you be the new leader?" Yan Mu asked funnyly.

Sikong Mingyue thought his words were even funnier, "I am a woman!"

"What's wrong with women? Women and men are equal."

"You actually think women and men are equal?"

"Is not it?"

"Ah, you..." Sikong Mingyue wanted to use one word to describe Yan Mu, but couldn't think of an appropriate word for the moment, so he finally said: "You are indeed not suitable to be the leader of our southwest, as I didn't say before. "

Yan Mu nodded, "I pretended I didn't hear it."

After a short repair, the group continued walking southwest.We walked like this for another day, staying until midnight, and finally arrived at the southwest boundary, which is called Yanggu Town.

"Most of the people in Western Vietnam are Xianbei people. They are not local aborigines. They occupied this land by force, while the twelve tribes who originally lived here were driven to the desert grasslands and barren lands in the southwest."

They rested by the river. They will have another day's journey tomorrow and will reach Red Leaf City by dark.

When Yan Mu asked about the origin of the twelve tribes, Sikong Mingyue said this to him.

At this time, Tuoba Siqi was pulled out of the carriage by Tuoba Feier and sat down next to the fire.After hearing Sikong Mingyue's words, the two of them did not refute and lowered their heads in shame.

"That's not enough. They also want to drive us out of the southwest and into the desert further west. There is an oasis there, but with the invasion of wind and sand, it is getting smaller and smaller, and it will disappear in a few decades. That was the place where their Xianbei people had lived for generations."

Having said this, perhaps because she was too angry, Sikong Mingyue looked at Tuoba Feier's brother and sister.

"You two, I didn't wrong you, did I?"

Tuoba Siqi lowered his head, and Tuoba Feier replied dryly: "That was five or sixty years ago..."

"So you chose to forget, and then you brazenly said that this land was yours, and falsely accused us of being invaders, right?" Sikong Mingyue said angrily.

Tuoba Feier shook her head hastily, "I know, we are the invaders, we invaded your home."

After hearing this, Sikong Mingyue breathed a sigh of relief.

"I could have married the new king of Xiyue. If the new king was Tuoba Siqi, then the Xianbei people and our twelve tribes could coexist temporarily. But Tuoba Siqi doesn't want the throne, and Tuoba Siling He wanted to establish a Western Vietnam with only Xianbei people, and advocated driving out our twelve tribes. So, the situation has become today."

"Hmm..." Tuoba Siqi wanted to say something, but he couldn't.

Sikong Mingyue looked at Tuoba Siqi and sneered, "You, you deserve it!" After Yan Mu listened to Sikong Mingyue's words, he continued to eat scones in silence. He, an outsider, had better not talk too much.

At this time, one of Sikong Mingyue's subordinates suddenly showed them the southeast direction.

Yan Mu looked over and saw the fire soaring into the sky, dyeing half of the sky red.

"It seemed like there was a fire." And the fire was very strong.

Seeing this, Sikong Mingyue stood up and said, "Something must have happened."

With that said, she hurriedly asked her subordinates to bring her horse.

Soon the horse came. Sikong Mingyue got on the horse. She thought about Tuoba Feier and the others again. She thought about it and said, "I'll go alone to see what happened. You stay here to protect them. Don't care about me tomorrow morning." Come back or not, I will leave immediately to return to Hongye City."

The subordinate was worried and wanted to go with him, "I'm afraid it's not a big deal."

"Don't worry, I'm just going to have a look, I won't act impulsively." After saying that, Sikong Mingyue had already galloped away on horseback.

Tuoba Feier worried: "It's too dangerous for Sister Mingyue to go alone."

Yan Mu sighed. Sikong Mingyue said that she would not act impulsively, but in his opinion, she was not one who could keep her composure.

"That's all, I'll go with her."

Yan Mu untied the reins of his horse, gave Tuoba Fei'er a few instructions, looked at Tuoba Siqi, and then rode out in pursuit.The fire point was not far from where they were camping. Only when they were close did Yan Mu catch up with Sikong Mingyue.

Seeing that she was about to rush forward, Yan Mu flew up and pulled her off the horse first.

"Who!"

Sikong Mingyue was furious. She turned around to see Yan Mu and frowned again, "Why are you chasing me?"

Yan Mu was helpless, "Didn't you say you were just here to take a look and wouldn't act impulsively?"

"Take a look at what's going on over there first!" Sikong Mingyue said anxiously.

Yan Mu first took Sikong Mingyue and hid behind a tree, then looked into the distance and saw a sea of ​​fire, with the entire village burning.What is even more shocking is that a group of men, women, and children were tied up hand and foot and trapped in a ring of fire. The raging fire illuminated the fear, pain, and despair on their faces.

Outside the fire ring were armored West Vietnamese soldiers, about thirty of them, laughing and making noise, as if they were having a carnival.

"Four-legged bug!"

"Pesticide and pest control!"

"Crackling, all burned into charcoal!"

Those people also pointed at the people wearing foreign costumes in the fire ring and insulted them, making it look like they were so noble.

Sikong Mingyue gritted her teeth, "They called us four-legged bugs and didn't treat us as human beings at all!"

"It's getting late. Let's add more firewood inside. After burning them to death, we can go back to camp and sleep." said a bearded man, who should be the leader of the group.

Seeing two soldiers approaching with firewood in their arms, Sikong Mingyue was so excited that she wanted to rush forward.

"Can you beat them?" Yan Mu stopped her.

"Do you want me to watch my own people being killed?"

"But if you rush forward, not only will you not be able to save them, you will also endanger yourself."

"Don't worry about it!"

Sikong Mingyue wanted to rush forward, but Yan Mu stopped him again.

"I have a way!"
