Three days later, in Longcheng, Shan Yuting.
The two bloody heads of Lanti and Langa Nan, together with the heads of more than a hundred of their close confidants, were placed in the courtyard. Some of the chamberlains and maids standing around frowned and covered their noses, and some people kept pouring money into the incense burner. With the addition of spices, the lingering scent of sandalwood covers up the pungent smell of blood.
Lan Han, who was sitting on the big chair, was also frowning, looking at the heads of his eldest brother and third brother. He was not smiling like the complacent Lan Mu who was sitting aside. Lan Han heard in his ears Mu's excited voice said: "Thanks to my father Khan's great fortune, these two rebels thought I was bringing reinforcements and were not prepared. So we started overnight and killed these two thieves and more than a hundred close associates in one fell swoop. Kill them, and the rest will surrender. Now the heads of these rebels are here, please father Khan to see them!"
Lan Han sighed: "Ah Mu, after all, they are your uncles and uncles. It's against human ethics to kill each other like this. Are you really so happy?"
Lan Mu didn't change his expression and said in a deep voice: "For family reasons, they are indeed my elder uncles, but according to the national laws, these two thieves disrespected their father and khan, openly divided the court and attacked the general, which is an out-and-out treason. If the father Khan fails to abide by the national law and severely punishes him, the law will become a piece of paper and no one will abide by it in the future, and the country will be in chaos. The father Khan has always taught his son that the country has national laws and no one can violate them, let alone bend the law for personal gain. I have always kept these teachings in mind, and I have done the same."
A trace of intolerance flashed across Lan Han's face: "You can capture them and then come back for trial. After all, they have made great contributions to the establishment of the country of Lan. As long as they are willing to repent, they can still be lenient."
Lan Mu said in a deep voice: "Father Khan, if everyone is merciful outside the law, what else can the law do? Moreover, Lanti and Langa Nan have always been arrogant and lawless, and they have never taken Father Khan seriously. You can know from the fact that you have taken away the generals from the court, attacked and killed the generals who commanded the army, and taken the army to go on an expedition. They do not regard you as the Great Khan at all. If you do not kill you this time, as long as they are alive, they will definitely seize the army and rebel. They will never be merciful when attacking their father. If the father feels that it is against the law of the country for his sons and ministers to kill them, then please punish the sons and ministers now and give them a life, just like the last time when the eldest sister (Lan Ying) committed suicide , let them be satisfied with that.”
Lan Han's face turned red and he said in a deep voice: "Lan Mu, what are you talking about? I just feel a little sorry for them. The other reason is that when the Great Lan Kingdom was first established, people's minds were peaceful and they could not cause civil strife. How could I let you Was it in vain? Now that the man has been killed, what I am thinking about is how to appease people's hearts. After all, Langa has been leading troops for many years and is very popular in the tribe. How to appease the hearts of the army officers is the most important thing. .”
Lan Mu laughed loudly: "So this is what Father Khan is worried about. I have already thought about this. Most of the people who are difficult to kill Lan Ti and Lang Jia this time are the soldiers and horses of the original Dragon City. We only need to kill them." It's easy to appease the people of this tribe. After all, Father Khan is the leader of the tribe. Now I have brought more than 3,000 soldiers who killed the two thieves into the city, just outside the original East Palace, where last time Duan During the Sugu Rebellion, hundreds of houses were burned down, leaving an open space that can be used as a temporary military camp."
Lan Han frowned: "These more than 3,000 people are originally from the Murong clan's Yan Kingdom. Are they really reliable? What if they take the opportunity to cause trouble?"
Lan Mu smiled and said: "My son has been with them all the way. In fact, these people are not very loyal to the Murong family. They are just serving as soldiers to eat food. If we give better, how can we do it for a dead people?" Is the family coming to oppose us?"
At this point, Lan Mu's eyes flashed with murderous intent. He looked around and hesitated to speak. Lan Han understood and waved his hand. All the people in the hall retreated, leaving only the father and son. All the heads on the ground were cleared away, the air suddenly became much fresher, and most of the nauseating smell of blood disappeared.
Lan Han looked at Lan Mu and said, "Okay, if you have anything else to say, you can say it. There are no outsiders here."
Lan Mu gritted his teeth: "This time we sent troops to eliminate Lanti and the others, but someone in the army said that when they inquired about the enemy's situation recently, they found that Murong Yun and Feng Ba were among Murong Qi's army."
Lan Han's expression changed: "What? They are at Murong Qi's place?! I pardoned these two evil thieves, but they actually repaid them with kindness. You go now and kill all their family members who stayed in Longcheng. One Don’t stay, otherwise no one will be afraid of us in the future!”
Lan Mu shook his head: "My son went to do this when he returned to the city, but found that their family members had escaped long ago. This shows that they had planned it in advance. According to the sergeants guarding the city gate, it was The two people who left the city with Murong Sheng's token were promoted by Murong Bao before. Murong Yun was still his adopted son. These people will not be with us after all. Regardless of whether it was arranged by Murong Sheng or not, this person, Can’t stay any longer.”
A trace of doubt flashed in Lan Han's eyes: "Do you have any real evidence that it was Murong Sheng who let them go?"
Lan Mu stamped his feet anxiously: "How can there be evidence for this? But regardless of whether there is evidence or not, Murong Qi rebelled, and Murong Yun and Feng Ba also defected. These are always facts. Just for this, the Murong family cannot Stay any longer. Now that Lanti and Langa are unable to defeat them, the power of our Lan tribe has been weakened, and we cannot give the enemy this chance again!"
Lan Han sighed: "But Fang'er, she just lost her sister, and if she wants to kill her husband again, this is..."
Lan Mu sneered and said: "Compared with the family, the country, the country, the country, the country, a woman is nothing. Just kill Murong Sheng and find a good husband for Fangmei in the future. Besides, those original Dragon City soldiers and horses, Only by letting them kill Murong Sheng, Murong Xi and other members of the Murong family can they ensure their loyalty to us and cut off their escape route. So this time I am planning to hold a celebration banquet for them, with good wine and meat. Then take advantage of this enthusiasm to kill the Murong clan and avoid future troubles forever!"
Lan Han curled up his lips: "Then you can arrange this matter. It's best not to get too much blood on your hands. Just say that those sergeants had a big feud with the Murong family. After drinking, they became angry and went to kill people." , you can’t stop it, by the way, it’s better to do something superficial, like knocking someone unconscious or hurting someone, so that your sister can’t hate you!”
A cruel smile appeared at the corner of Lan Mu's mouth: "Leave everything to my son!"
