The queen mother wants to go against the sky: General, please take your seat

Chapter 563 The Ancestral Hall Collapsed in the Fire

The guard took the letter in his hand, and before he started reading, he heard a "bang" behind him. The guard hurriedly looked back, and saw the old Hu clan who was over eighty years old, bumping his head against the stone under the steps. on the turtle.

There was a moment of silence in front of the ancestral hall, and then the crying and screaming sounded.

Ai Jiu frowned, and ordered: "Drag the corpse away."

Before the soldiers had time to step forward to drag the corpse, a clan veteran pointed at Hu Jin and cursed: "What face do you have to meet your ancestors?!"

Hu Jin was speechless.

The patriarch looked up to the sky and sighed. In fact, they were not unaware of Hu Jinqian's actions, but they only thought that the patriarch had taken refuge in Li Qi, the king of Qin, and wanted to turn his eyes against Mo Wangbei, whose daughter was the current empress dowager. Well, they really didn't expect that Hu Jinchang would collude with the barbarians.Taking refuge in the King of Qin can be said to be a good bird breaking a tree, but colluding with the barbarians is betraying the master and forgetting the clan. No one in Liaodong and Jintian will say even a good word for their Hu family in Liaodong!

The clan elder gritted his teeth, lowered his head, and ran forward, hitting himself on the stone turtle to death.

"I want to see Mo Sangqing!" Hu Jinxiang called to Ai Jiu.

Ai Jiu still stood still, and ordered the soldiers to say: "Light the fire, and burn this ancestral hall down."

"It has nothing to do with your eldest lady," Hu Jin said anxiously, "I know which gate the Great Khan will plot first..."

A sleeve arrow flew out from the crowd and shot into the back of Hu Jinqian's neck. The sleeve arrow pierced through the neck, and Hu Jinqian fell to the ground, covering the blood hole on his neck with his hands, and blood gushed out between his fingers. Turning around, Hu Jinqian's hands and predecessor were dyed red.

Ai Jiu rushed to Hu Jinqian and asked loudly, "Which pass city is it?"

Hu Jinchang couldn't breathe, the suffocation made his eyes roll, and a "ho ho" sound came out of his throat.

Ai Jiu grabbed Hu Jinqian's lapel, and asked again: "Tell me, which pass city is it? You don't want revenge when the barbarians kill you?"

Hu Jinqian's mouth was moving.

Just looking at the shape of his mouth, Ai Jiu couldn't tell what the man was talking about.

Hu Jinqian no longer struggled in Ai Jiu's hands, and the blue veins on his hands due to exertion were no longer visible. The last scene in his pupils was stained with blood. The Stone Turtle of Rui Beast.

Ai Jiu tried Hu Jinqian's breath, and threw him to the ground viciously.

A guard ran over from the crowd and reported: "Brother Ai Jiu, the assassin who shot the arrow is dead. He is either a barbarian or a member of the Hu clan."

The body of a young man was also dragged over by the guards at this time. After the man shot a sniper, he wiped his neck himself, and died cleanly.

Ai Jiu wanted to get angry but couldn't find anyone. There were four to five hundred people, and it was impossible for the soldiers to search all of them.

"The major general is here!" Someone shouted not far away.

Ai Jiu wiped his face and walked towards the archway.

Mo Sangqing got off the horse, glanced at Ai Jiu who was kneeling in front of him, and said, "What? Did you do something wrong?"

Ai Jiu bowed his head and said: "This subordinate is incompetent, so people will silence Hu Jinqian."

Mo Sangqing said: "Get up."

Ai Jiu got up and walked behind his major general, whispering, "It's not a barbarian."

"How does a barbarian get into the Hu clan?" Mo Sangqing said: "It should be a person who was bought and sold by the barbarians."

"Yes," Ai Jiu pleaded guilty again: "The subordinate is incompetent."

Mo Sangqing waved his hand and said, "When Hu Jinxue wanted to say something, was he silenced?"

"He said he knew which pass the Khan would plot first."

"It's a pity," Mo Sangqing said.

Ai Jiu only hated himself for not taking any precautions in advance?Why didn't he think that if Hu Jinqian could seek refuge with the barbarians, wouldn't others be able to do the same?How could he be careless?

"Why hasn't the ancestral hall been burned yet?" Mo Sangqing suddenly asked.

Ai Jiu lowered his head and said, "It's not too late yet."

"Go and light the fire," General Mo said to the generals beside him.

The general took the order and walked quickly to the ancestral hall with his subordinates.

When the fire was ignited in the ancestral hall, the members of the Hu family were crying again. Some people cursed loudly. As soon as the voice came out, they were stabbed to death by the soldiers guarding them with spears or arrows. , no one dared to curse, and everyone could only kneel down and cry bitterly.

Mo Sangqing walked straight past Hu Jinqian's body and stood in front of several clan elders.

Several clan elders watched the ancestral hall being burned, some were crying, and some looked dull, but the drive to hate the Mo family father and son was gone.

"I never thought of exterminating your Hu family," Mo Sangqing said to the clan elders, "so you don't have to hit that stone turtle."

Several clan elders stared blankly at Mo Sangqing.

"Take your clansmen to the outside of the pass," Mo Sangqing said calmly.

"Go outside the pass, you want us to seek refuge with the barbarians?" a clan elder exclaimed in shock.

"How do I know if there are barbarian spies among your people?" Mo Sangqing said, "Either I kill them all, or you leave Liaodong, choose one of the two, tell me, which one do you choose?"

"We are from Tianjin!" A clan elder cried to Mo Sangqing.

"It won't be the case in the future," Mo Sangqing said, "Hu Jinqian's second son has gone a step ahead and went outside the pass. You can join him and see if the barbarians treat you more kindly than our father and son."

Mo Sangqing's expression was not vicious at all, and his tone was very gentle, but these words made the elders of the Hu clan despair, how could the barbarians treat them kindly?
Looking up at the Hu family's ancestral hall that was engulfed by the fire, Young General Mo said again: "Tianqiu City will have nothing to do with your Hu family in the future, and all the Guancheng in Liaodong will not let your Hu family members enter the pass in the future. "

Hu's ancestral hall collapsed in the fire with a loud bang.

"Bring them out of the pass," Mo Sangqing ordered a general of the Ming Xiao Army to say.

"Yes," the general said.

Mo Sangqing turned and left, and walked past Hu Jinqian's body again, still without looking down.

"That's all?" Ai Jiu was very dissatisfied.

Mo Sangqing turned to look at Ai Jiu.

Chief Guard Ai didn't dare to speak.

At noon that day, 480 members of the Hu clan, escorted by the Ming Xiao Army, left the city from the north gate of Tianqiu City and headed north.

"You take a trip," Mo Sangqing wrote a letter to Ai Jiu, confessing: "Tell Qiu Qiu, leave Yan Lingchuan alone, tell him to go back to Futu Pass quickly, and I will give him the troops. Make him make sure that Futu is not lost."

Ai Jiu was surprised: "Will the barbarians attack Futu Pass first?"

"Yan Lingchuan will escape," Mo Sangqing said in a low voice: "He wants to go outside the pass, the fastest way is to go through Futu Pass, if the barbarians want to meet him, then Futu Pass will be attacked from both north and south. If I were King Khan , I will choose Butou Pass.”

Ai Jiu took the letter with both hands, turned around to leave, but suddenly turned around and asked: "Then what should I do with the lady? Who should I send to meet her?"
