Flourishing of the Ming Dynasty Novel - Chapter 17

Chapter 17 Morning Of Mutation (2)
Just as He Huer and the others entered the tent together, Mu Zhe did not intend to help find out the murderer. However, he only came in after he did not want to leave. Therefore, he did not take a closer look at the reconciliation.

But when he saw the saber pulled out from the corpse, his heart suddenly moved, and then a burst of ecstasy struck his heart, because he recognized the origin of the saber!

Without the slightest hesitation, Mu Dai pointed at the saber and said, “He Huer, this saber …”

“What’s wrong with this saber?” He Huer asked anxiously. It would be a good thing for him and the Rahab Tribe if they could find out who the murderer was.

Mu Jia’s gaze suddenly stared at Hesha, who had the same expression on his face, “I have seen this saber before at Hesha. This is the saber in his tent!”

“What are you talking about?” He Huer did not expect such an answer, so she subconsciously shouted.

Hezha’s reaction was even more intense. He immediately took a step forward and shouted, “Bullshit! You’re framing me with this!”

“He Huer, I don’t dare to talk nonsense about this. I’ve seen this saber in his tent before!” However, Mu Dai insisted that he did not change his words because of Hezha’s anger.

He Huer felt a headache and nervousness when she saw him say that. But what was even more nervous was Hezha: “There’s no mark on this saber. How dare you slander me like this? I’ll fight you!” As he spoke, he had already pulled out his scimitar and was about to pounce on it.

Of course, Mu Dai would not give him such a chance. He immediately dodged behind He Huer and said quickly, “I have a good impression of this knife.” Just a month ago, when you and I were in conflict in your tent, you picked up the saber and slashed it at me, but it was stopped by the guards beside me. “For this reason, there was a collapse at the edge of the saber … Because the situation happened right in front of my eyes, I remember it clearly!”

After hearing his explanation, the saber that he was about to swing immediately stopped moving. He Zha naturally had an impression of this matter, and then his gaze landed on the saber. Sure enough, he saw the obvious gap on the saber, which made his heart pound.

When Mu Na saw that his aura was weak, he continued, “Moreover, the saber that I used to interact with this saber was still on my side. If He Huer doesn’t believe me, I can have someone take it out and test it. At that time, I’ll know if I’m telling the truth or not.”

He Huer only hesitated for a moment before nodding. Mu Dai did not hesitate and immediately left the tent. The others in the tent revealed astonishment. Their gazes at Hezha were even more complicated, and they subconsciously moved a little further away from him.

Apart from Mu Na’s testimony, Hesha’s attitude towards these first messengers yesterday also convinced them of this. If that was the case, then the next matter would be huge, and he might even be implicated.

After waiting in a dull atmosphere for a while, Mu Dai brought a few of his subordinates with him and rushed over with a knife. When this saber matched with the vicious saber, it was verified by others, and his statement was thoroughly verified!

Because the gaps left on the two blades matched perfectly, it was proved that the two blades had interacted, as Mu Zhe had said, thereby proving on the side his charge against Hesha-since the murder weapon had been determined to be his, the murderer was naturally him!

Although judging the murderer with just one weapon was very hasty, it was something that everyone believed in ancient times. Not to mention on the grassland, even the Great Ming government could be regarded as a mountain of irrefutable evidence.

Understanding this, Hezha’s face immediately turned pale. Under everyone’s gaze, he loudly denied, “I didn’t kill him. Although this saber belongs to me, it had disappeared a long time ago …”

“Someone will steal the knife in your tent? Isn’t this excuse too hard to believe?” Mu Na ignored all of this and immediately said aggressively. He naturally wouldn’t let go of such a good opportunity to get rid of the other party.

Seeing this, Hezha couldn’t help but retreat, but then he remembered something and shouted, “I finally understand. This is a conspiracy of yours to frame me. You stole the saber and then used it to kill the messenger to blame me!”

The argument between the two made the others in the tent a little confused. Even He Huer didn’t know whose words to believe for a moment. The reason for that was because both of their words were reasonable. It seemed that both of them had this motive. But at the same time, whoever did it would be a disaster for Rahab Clan.

If it was only the hands of the herdsmen of the tribe, as long as they handed over the people, they might be able to give them an explanation. However, once the murderer became the leader of the tribe, the concept would be completely different. This would be regarded as Rahab Clan’s provocation! At that time, they would have plenty of reasons to send troops to attack! Thinking of this result, He Huer felt a chill run down her spine.

Just as they were about to fight over it, the tent curtain was lifted again, and an angry face appeared in front of everyone. “Indeed, this was done by someone important to you in Rahab Clan. This matter will definitely not go away like this!” It was the messengers outside who understood the movement and rushed over.

“Envoy, it’s him who killed them. Just take him to defend yourself!” Mu Dai immediately pointed his finger and shouted, “He Huer, are you going to protect him at this time? Do you know how great a disaster this will bring to our Rahab Clan?” He wanted to borrow the anger of the messenger to promote the thoughts in his heart.

He Huer was obviously stunned, but then she could only clench her teeth and say, “Someone, tie Hezha up!” At this point in time, he could only tie up the biggest suspicion first.

The personal guards outside the tent answered, but when they looked at Hezha, they hesitated again. They had followed Hezha out to conquer, and had established a good relationship with him. They admired his bravery, but it was a bit difficult to kidnap him now.

“Didn’t you hear He Huer’s words? Hurry up and tie him up!” Mu Na saw the hesitation and urged. When he said this, his face was full of pride. Taking this opportunity to eradicate Hesha’s greatest threat in one fell swoop was truly an unexpected good thing.

The few relatives could only agree and wanted to step forward. Unexpectedly, Hezha shouted angrily, “I see who dares?” He knew too well what would happen to him if he were tied up. Moreover, he knew that he was wrongly accused. In his mind, everything was a conspiracy set up by this despicable Mu Dai. He was really angry and anxious.

“Look, the tail of the wolf is exposed! He is guilty, he is the murderer!” Mu Jia continued to stir up trouble at the side. He naturally wouldn’t let such a good opportunity slip by. He wanted Hesha to have no chance to turn around.

Even if He Huer felt that there was still some doubt in the matter, it would be difficult for her to speak up for He Zha in front of the messengers behind her. He then sank his face and shouted, “He Zha, quickly put down the knife …”

“Mu Dai, I’ll kill you first!” Hezha, whose rage was completely ignited, could no longer hold it in. Before He Huer could finish her sentence, he already raised his step and brandished his saber, charging towards Mu Dai like a whirlwind.

Mu Jia did not expect He Zha to do such a thing. Seeing him rush over, he was stunned. He didn’t even think about it. He already had enmity with the other party, and it was also a problem he had pointed out. Now, he was constantly forcing the clay figurines to be a bit earth-like, let alone a rough person like He Zha.

At the moment when everyone was shocked, the saber in Hezha’s hand had already slashed into Mu Dai’s neck in front of everyone.

After a miserable scream, Mu Jia’s body fell to the ground with a bang. Following that, blood splashed everywhere in the tent, spilling all over the faces of everyone in the tent!

The power of this saber was so great that it almost cut off Mu Dai’s head out of thin air. Even though it wasn’t really like this, the momentum still completely severed the aorta, causing fresh blood to spurt out under the pressure.

For a moment, everyone was stunned. Even the messengers had incredulous expressions on their faces. None of them had expected things to turn out like this.

When they quickly regained their senses, they began to retreat.

Just now, they were aggressive because they had determined that Hezha and the others didn’t dare to do anything to them. After all, they had a strong backer and background behind them. But now, if this fellow dared to kill in public, it was not impossible for him to attack a few more of them.

Thinking of this, they quickly retreated and ran towards their mounts again.

After coming back to her senses, He Huer was also shocked. Things had developed to this point, and she was completely out of control. If Mu Na died, there would definitely be trouble in the clan. If he were to take Hesha and open his saber again, the Rahab Tribe would not have to send people to attack him first, and they would split themselves apart!

Knowing this, he naturally could not hold Hezha accountable for this matter. But in this way, these messengers would be difficult to deal with, but one thing was clear, and that was, they must not be allowed to leave just like that!

Thinking of this, He Huer shouted, “Stop them! Don’t let them go!” Because he had already discovered that those people had actually left his line of sight, it was naturally obvious what they would do.

When the messengers arrived near the mount, they heard the shouts in the tent. Without the slightest hesitation, they jumped onto the horse’s back and had no time to untie the reins. With a flash of the saber in their hands, they cut the reins. Then, they sped up their horses and galloped outside.

The few Rahab Clan talents who heard the order had just straightened themselves up when they were forced to retreat to the side by the galloping horses. Because things happened so quickly, they didn’t even have time to draw their knives.

In the time it took for the wrong god, the few riders had already broken through their blockade and rushed towards the grasslands outside the encampment at the fastest speed possible.

As long as they rushed out a certain distance, even if the people of Rahab Clan wanted to catch up, they might not be able to catch up. This caused everyone’s hearts to sink.

At this moment, a calm voice sounded, “Fire the arrow!”
