Flourishing of the Ming Dynasty Novel - Chapter 16

Chapter 16 Morning Of Mutation (1)
A sudden roar broke the silence of Rahab Clan’s early morning. The roar was filled with anger and panic, causing the hearts of everyone who heard it to tighten.

Hearing this roar, Lu Zhen, who was half leaning on the ground, suddenly felt his originally somewhat sleepy spirits rise, “Coming!” After killing last night, his entire body was extremely excited. It was impossible for him to fall asleep. Afterwards, all sorts of thoughts and fears poured in, causing him to spend the night in such a muddle. His body and mind felt extremely exhausted. But now, this roar caused him to have no choice but to cheer up.

When Lu Zhen drove out of the tent after hesitation, the outside world was already filled with cries of alarm. Many people had already rushed outside Bo Hu’s tent and peeked inside, while He Hu’er and the others also rushed over with panic on their faces.

Seeing him arrive, the subordinates of Bo Hu, who were guarding outside the tent, immediately went up to greet him. One of them even stretched out his hand to pull the other, “Tell me, did you want someone to do this?”

“Let go!” Before He Huer could react, a large hand had already reached out and grabbed the man’s arm. Then, with a fierce push, he staggered, but He Zha also rushed over.

At this time, He Huer could no longer care about being angry, but said in a somewhat panicked tone, “Inside … what happened to Bo Huer?”

“Don’t pretend you don’t know anything. Bo Hu died inside and was stabbed to death by someone. This is your Rahab Tribe’s place. Of course, it was your tribe’s people who did it, or perhaps it was your orders as the patriarch!” Another man shouted loudly.

When he said this, He Huer’s body suddenly trembled and she almost fell to the ground, “Are you telling the truth? He … How did he die in the tent?”

Everyone else was also stunned on the spot. No one expected such a change to happen overnight. This was no joke. No matter how slow a person was, he knew what it meant for the Rahab tribe that Bethhud, the first messenger, had died here!

He had never heard of such a situation before. As the most influential and famous figure on the grasslands, the people they sent out first would only be regarded as honored guests by the various tribes. Not to mention being disadvantageous to them, even if it was a heavy sentence, few tribes would have the courage to do so. But now, they had actually died in Rahab Clan. Once they learned of this news, they would surely receive their own frenzied revenge.

Understanding this, He Huer’s face turned deathly pale. Although Rahab Clan’s current strength was much stronger than before, it was nothing compared to the strength in Ye Xian’s hands. He was originally worried that Hezha’s attitude yesterday and his family’s excuse would cause trouble, but unexpectedly, things became even more terrible.

“What exactly is going on … Envoy, there must be something fishy about this matter. We will definitely not injure the people sent by the First Grand Master.” He Huer’s first sentence was to ask the surrounding people, but the second sentence wanted to explain to the other party. Such incoherent words clearly confused their minds.

“You don’t have to explain to us what’s going on. We’ll talk about it in detail when we get to the Grand Master!” The attendants were also quite clear-headed, and if this was really the order given by the Rahab leader, Hur, they would be in a very dangerous situation. Since he dared to attack Bo Hu, would he care about killing a few more of them?

Thinking of this, the few of them only winked and quickly ran towards their mounts. They wanted to leave just like that and rush back to report the news.

But at this moment, a voice rang out anxiously, “Stop them!” Lu Zhen suddenly spoke.

When the two sides clashed just now, Lu Zhen was just watching from the side. The fire had already been lit by him, and it depended on how fierce it could be. After seeing these people’s actions, he guessed their motives and decided to add oil to the fire. That was why he called out, “If we let them leave, we really won’t be able to say anything!”

The others in the tribe were originally uneasy because of this sudden incident, so their reactions were naturally much slower. But now that Lu Zhen reminded them, Hezha and the others quickly turned around and immediately shouted, pouncing forward.

Just as they were about to flip on their horses, they hugged them from behind and pressed them to the ground. “No one can leave until the matter is clear!”

“You are indeed murderers” The remaining leader immediately understood what was going on and shouted loudly.

‘”How could our Rahab tribe do such a thing?” He Huer’s heart twitched again and he hurriedly stepped forward, “Our Rahab tribe has always acted aboveboard.”

“Hmph, that’s hard to say. Because you don’t want to be recruited by the Grand Master, you want to kill us messengers to vent your anger!” Although they were caught, their aura did not falter at all. They stared at He Huer and said, “If you have the guts, you can kill us all. At that time, there will be people who will avenge us and let you, Rahab Clan, be buried with us!”

“Bang!” A fist suddenly landed on the speaker’s cheek, shattering his last few words. He Zha’s face flushed red with anger, “Do you really think I’m afraid of you when you dare to threaten to curse our Rahab Tribe at this time?”

“Hezha, you” He Huer didn’t expect this person to be so impulsive, so she couldn’t help but stomp her feet and complain. However, when he looked around, he noticed that many of his clansmen also had angry expressions on their faces, and they had the intention to teach these disrespectful fellows a lesson.

Meng Ren was tough and bellicose. Sometimes, even if he knew that he was no match for the enemy, he would not retreat easily. Now, these fellows who had also been sent here were so arrogant. They were all captured, yet they actually dared to threaten him. This was something that no bloody Mongolian man could endure.

After taking this punch, the few of them finally stopped talking. They finally understood their situation. Although their hearts were furious, they could only endure for a while.

Seeing this, Lu Zhen’s gaze shifted to Hezha, and he began to think. Was he really inspired by his momentary anger to make his move, or was he planning something else? This was because it was a good thing for him to raise Hezha’s status in the hearts of the clansmen once again.

He Huer clearly felt this as well, so she didn’t know how to speak for a moment.

At this moment, a calm voice sounded, “He Huer, envoys, in my opinion, the most important thing now is to find out the truth. I believe what our Patriarch said is true. We did not kill them. There must be some misunderstanding.”

‘”Yes, yes, that’s what I meant. Let’s find the murderer first, and then I’ll give you an explanation.” He nodded his head hurriedly. Afterwards, he remembered something. He turned around and saw Mu Dai walking forward. Naturally, what he said just now came from his mouth.

“Hmph, this is your place, so it’s up to you to decide. Why should I believe the murderer you found?” The leader obviously didn’t buy it.

“After we find out the murderer, we will naturally apologize to Grand Master Ye. At that time, it will be up to him to decide.” However, Mu Dai had already made up his mind and immediately gave his own meaning, “He Huer, what do you think?”

Although He Huer felt that there was a hidden danger in doing so, there was only one way to solve the current situation. She nodded her head and said, “That’s what I meant.”

“Then let’s see how you find out who did this.” The people who could be appointed first were not idiots. In this situation, they could only give in temporarily and agree.

When the surrounding Rahab tribesmen saw that the two sides had finally calmed down, they couldn’t help but breathe a sigh of relief. Although they were angry, they were equally nervous in their hearts, afraid that the conflict between them and Ye Xian would completely intensify. Now there is a way to solve the contradictions is naturally the best.

Only Lu Zhen frowned, “Didn’t you say that Meng Ren is the most impulsive and has no brains? How could these fellows actually compromise with each other to this extent?” However, at this point in time, it was hard for him to say anything else. Otherwise, he would only cause trouble for himself and even pull the suspicion onto himself.

Seeing that the two sides had reached an agreement, Hezha and the others did not continue to hold on to each other. Instead, they let go of their hands and let them get up. The other party looked at them with hostility, especially towards Hezha, filled with hatred. However, in the end, none of them said anything. Instead, they looked at He Huer and waited for his next move as the Patriarch.

He Huer sighed at this moment, then turned around and walked towards Bo Huzheng’s tent. He had to look inside to make a further judgment. Seeing him act like this, Mu Dai hurriedly followed suit. Then, the other important figures in the other ministries also followed closely, including Hezha.

When he saw the situation in the tent, He Huer’s brows furrowed even more. This was indeed a shocking murder. There were traces of blood on the ground, on the blankets, and even on the tents near the corpses. The corpses widened their eyes and fell into a pool of blood in astonishment.

In addition, there was actually a big hole on one side of the tent. It was obvious that the murderer had killed Bo Hu from then on.

However, no one understood one thing. How could the murderer easily kill someone without alarming anyone outside? Moreover, this Bo Hu messenger’s stature wasn’t easy, so how could he be killed without any resistance?

Thinking of this, He Huer walked forward and carefully examined the situation of the corpse. Then, she casually grasped the vicious saber on the corpse’s body. With a slight force, the saber was pulled out by him, bringing out some condensed blood clots.

Unfortunately, everything seemed so ordinary, and he didn’t have the ability to solve the case, so he really couldn’t see any clues or problems.

However, right at this moment, Mu Jia’s gaze suddenly narrowed. He let out a soft sigh, followed by an excited expression in his eyes.
