Chapter 20: Da Shanyu (Part 2)

Today's ceremony of worshiping the sky is a key occasion that determines who the Tuoba Xianbei is in. Whether it is the leader of the Tuoba people or the chief of the subordinate tribe Qu, who is collectively referred to as "thirty-six countries and ninety-nine surnames", they all participated in it with concentration. But perhaps the sudden attack of the Nuo people before shocked everyone and were a little confused for a moment. When Lu Guan suddenly fell to the ground, some people exclaimed and rushed to support him; some people were still shouting passionately slogans such as "Lord Lu Guan is the Great Shanyu", and they had never reacted at all.

It was not until a moment later that someone cried out in a crying voice: "Lord Lu Guan is dead!" The supporters of Lu Guan looked at each other and stopped their slogans. Many people rushed towards Lu Guan's falling to the ground, wanting to see what happened, the situation on the entire altar on the top of the mountain became extremely chaotic for a while.

The Lu Guan, the Eastern Emperor of Tuoba Xianbei, has always been the center of attention. What was previously attracted by the attention of how this powerful leader of the eastern Emperor of Tuoba Xianbei who had been in the decades ascended to the position of the Great Shanyu, but now everyone is paying attention to his life and death. Such a change is a bit funny.

The first to arrive at Lu Guan were several serfs. They tried to shake Lu Guan's body and patted his cheeks to wake him up, but Lu Guan never woke up. His breathing had already stopped and he could not feel his heartbeat. The serfs were still working hard in despair, calling Lu Guan again and again, but they had to admit that this powerful leader, who was only one step away from the position of the Great Shanyu of Tuoba Xianbei, was already a dead man.

"Lord Lu Guan is dead!" The entourage warriors roared to the sky, looking like a wolf howling. With the roar, they drew their swords to cut off their faces and expressed their grief with the heaviest etiquette on the grassland.

Although Lu Guan was old, he was always strong and had no symptoms. How could he die suddenly on this critical occasion? It is hard to say that there is no conspiracy! A entourage responded quickly and immediately jumped up with a knife and snatched Wei's snatch: "You! What did you do to Lord Lu Guan?"

Seeing Lu Guan die in front of him, Wei Shi's face was pale as earth, but with a mysterious look that was indescribable. Seeing the entourage rushing towards him with a fierce spirit, Wei Shi retreated repeatedly, but he stepped on the hanging belt, and suddenly lost his balance and fell from the stone platform. At this time, many chiefs, Qu, and generals rushed to look at him. Wei Shi fell into the dense crowd and could no longer see him. The entourage was extremely anxious, and he didn't care about it, and directly swung his sword to cut off several chiefs blocking the front.

He just wanted to capture Weishi as soon as possible, but this action caused a more chaotic and terrifying situation.

The Hu people were strong and aggressive at heart, and everything was easy to be solved by force. But those who were qualified to come to the Danhan Mountains and participated in the ceremony of worshiping heaven were tribal leaders with noble status. Even though many of them were obeying the rule of the Eastern Lords, how could they allow several entourages to be killed at will? So the relatives and friends of the injured were all angry, and several people rushed up to draw their swords and chopped them back and killed the entourage.

In an instant, several people fell to the ground, spraying their anger and blood everywhere, dyeing the heads, faces and clothes of many people around them brightly red. Another wave of blood came to their faces, and even the mountain wind could not dissipate.

Lu Guan has been serving as the Eastern Emperor of Tuoba Xianbei for nearly twenty years. In these twenty years, he relied on his powerful skills to nearly a hundred tribes of all sizes and hundreds of thousands of tribes, and drove the chiefs Qu and his men to be like dogs. While Lu Guan expanded his power, the chiefs in the eastern part also gained more cattle and sheep and more plump grasslands. In fact, their future was tied to Lu Guan's ambition. At this moment, Lu Guan, who had been powerful in the eastern part of Tuoba Xianbei, suddenly died for twenty years, and the Xianbei nobles who depended on Lu Guan lost their smart and capable leaders and lost their greatest support. Many people were confused and didn't know what to do. Thinking of the future of the tribe, they were even more worried and worried.

At this time, someone openly killed the serf warriors of Lu Guan, and suddenly it was like pouring oil into the fire, completely igniting the tension that spread among the crowd. Many people subconsciously believed that it was the chiefs who were kind to the western Tuoba Xianbei who took the opportunity to counterattack and would completely eliminate the power of the tribes in the eastern region. Once such an idea arose, it would be like wildfire spreading on the grassland and quickly spreading to every nobleman of Tuoba Xianbei. The next moment, hundreds of people drew their swords and gathered into a loud noise. The chiefs who killed the serfs of Lu Guan were chopped into meat paste without even explaining a word.

For hundreds of years, no one dared to act recklessly in the sacred ceremony of sacrifice to heaven. But today, this rule that has been passed down for hundreds of years has been completely destroyed. After killing several chiefs, more people looked at each other and saw the crazy emotions in each other's eyes.

The bonfire in the center of the altar was still burning. The flames blocked the sight, making the chiefs and generals from all walks of life that did not belong to the eastern part of the Tuoba Xianbei did not notice this small fragment of the chaotic crowd. When the nobles in the east were all in danger and gradually couldn't extricate themselves, they were immersed in joy that was difficult to express in words.

The ceremony of the Dahan Mountain Sacrifice to the Tuoba Xianbei people should have been sacred, and it is a place where people in the world communicate with gods, ancestors, and receive their instructions and protection. The witches, gods and men who preside over the ceremony all have special status invisibly, transcending to the tribes within the Tuoba Xianbei tribe. This is an almost unshakable tradition for the Xianbei people who have generally had shallow knowledge. However, the Eastern Emperor Luguan dared to betray this tradition that had been respected for hundreds of years, and used some means to bribe the Nuo people under the Wei clan and use their force to win the duel.

Yes, Lu Guan's entourage warriors joined hands with the Nuo people and almost forced Yilu to the point of being undoubted to the point of death. If it weren't for the Bingzhou envoy Wen Qiao who spared no effort to protect him, Yilu would have been killed on the spot. But what about Lu Guan? At the moment when Lu Guan sacrificed his sacrifice to the gods and ancestors, Lu Guan suddenly died!

Is there anything else to doubt about such a result?

It was God who punished Luguan!

It was God who took the life of Lu Guan!

Lu Guan died after being punished by heaven, and Lord Yilu was the great Chanyu that the ancestors of the gods loved!

After all, the Xianbei people were rude and their political struggle was rough and direct. When Yilu was in a desperate situation in the duel, the Tuoba Xianbei generals were completely lost in the grand momentum of the eastern tribes. At this moment, they gathered together again and cheered happily: "Master Yilu! Master Yilu!"

And this cheer was immediately regarded as a provocation by the nervous and manic chiefs of the Tuoba Xianbei eastern tribes. What the chiefs of the eastern tribes used to respond was the blood soaring into the sky and the bright sword light!

The fear of the future of the tribe, the tension of one's own safety, the hostility to the nobles of the western region such as Yilu, and the secret pleasure of trampling on the sacred places, and perhaps Hu'er's nature that is prone to fever. All of these gather together make the original bystander suddenly transform into participants in the fight.

"Don't be confused, please listen to my Yilu's words!" Tuoba Yilu pushed away the entourage covering him and shouted repeatedly, but in the event of sharp blades at any time, who has the patience to listen to his words?

After a very short time, almost everyone on the altar on the mountain top was involved in this chaotic and bloody battle. At first, the chiefs of the eastern Tuoba Xianbei launched a raid on the people surrounding Yilu; then some people thought that the Nuo people violated the will of God and caused the punishment from heaven, so they began to kill the Nuo people to vent their anger. While the crowd rushed back and forth, someone trampled on Lu Guan's body, which made the entourage angry. So the chiefs who belonged to Lu Guan began to fight with the entourages under Lu Guan's subordinates.

The platform on the top of Danhan Mountain was originally not big, and it seemed even more narrow after standing by hundreds of people. In such an environment, there was almost no possibility of hiding. In the increasingly fierce battle, people lost their rationality and lost their camp distribution. What they heard and saw were blood splattering everywhere, blood was dancing, broken limbs and broken arms flew everywhere, and howling one after another.
