19, Token!

Not many people knew about Jun Wuhuan's arrival in Beijing, and those who knew it would not tell you about it. Jun Wuhuan was happy to be free and easy, and only looked down on the situation in the capital every day. He was cold-eyed and watched everything in the court without interfering at all.

Tuoba Liang finally compromised and killed all the Ahulu family.

For the people of the Citizen, this is naturally a tremendous change. After all, no matter whether Ahulu is really treason or not, it cannot change the fact that the Ahulu clan once made great contributions to the Northern Jin Dynasty. However, for the Aqi people in Shangjing, they only feel very pleased. Because the Ahulu clan's contributions are based on the flesh and blood of their tribes and even their relatives.

However, Tuoba Liang's good luck seemed to have been completely used up in the past few years. Even if he wanted to calm down, things were still coming up. That night, two princes left by the late emperor of the Northern Jin Dynasty were assassinated in the mansion. All the spearheads immediately pointed at Tuoba Liang, because they were asked by Tuoba Liang to kill the Ahulu clan, these two princes jumped the most happily. Now that people are assassinated, everyone will immediately suspect Tuoba Liang. What's more, it's no secret that Tuoba Liang has the underworld in Shangjing. Don't doubt who he doubts?

When Jun Wuhuan heard the news, he was writing in the study. After listening to Mingjing's report, he just chuckled and asked, "Where is Ahulu's head?"

Mingjing frowned and said, "It's been in the mansion, I've been receiving it for a few days." Although the weather has become cold after special treatment. However, Mingjing, who put a human head in the mansion, still said that he still couldn't accept it. He really has no special hobbies.

Jun Wuhuan nodded and said, "It's almost done, send it over."

Mingjing was a little gloating, "This time, Tuoba Liang is afraid that he will vomit blood again, and I don't know if he can get up." The young master and the princess sincerely don't want Tuoba Liang to get better. Not long after they were poisoned, they vomited blood one after another. It would be strange if they can get better.

Jun Wuhuan looked up and glanced at him faintly. Mingjing quickly restrained his smile and said, "Yes, my subordinates obey the order."

Jun Wuhuan nodded and asked, "How is Zhu Yaohong over there?"

Mingjing frowned and said, "Miss Zhu said that it is almost certain, but with her skills, it is difficult to sneak in and steal it out. Originally, she wanted to wait for Tuoba Liang to take it out before taking action... Young Master, is that thing really that important?"

Jun Wuhuan said: "If it doesn't matter, why bother Zhu Yaohong for so many years?"

"But..." Mingjing frowned and wanted to say something. Jun Wuhuan put down the pen in his hand and said in a deep voice: "The Tuoba clan was originally just a small tribe of tens of thousands of people, but it was able to annex each tribe and unify the entire tribe in just a few decades. What do you think is the reason?"

Mingjing frowned and said, "Although it is an enemy, I have to admit that the people of the Clan are indeed good at fighting and... fearless of death."

Jun Wuhuan chuckled, "The environment outside the border is harsh. Which tribe is not good at fighting and not afraid of death? But... in terms of strength, the people of the Clan are not as good as the Helan tribe, and in terms of combat power, why are they able to move into the Central Plains?"

Mingjing really couldn't figure it out, "Maybe it's current affairs to create heroes?" Sometimes, strength is important but opportunities are even more important. The Clan was able to be strong enough to move into the Central Plains in just a few decades, and it was indeed a chance that was as if God had given. Otherwise, even if the Tianqi really had a mess of tyrants, it wouldn't be their turn to enter the pass to grab the territory.

Jun Wuhuan sighed lightly and said, "The reason why the people of the Clan respected the Tuoba clan as king is because a hundred years ago... the ancestors of the Tuoba clan had saved the leaders of other tribes. At that time, the Clan was divided into more than ten small tribes, and Tuoba was only one of them. However, that year the Clan almost suffered a catastrophe, and the ancestors of the Tuoba tribe rescued the leaders of several major tribes with their own strength. Several tribe leaders had vowed that the Clan was headed by the ancestor Tuoba. At the same time, a token was cast with Wujin, which was engraved with the names of the seven tribe leaders. As long as the descendants of the Tuoba tribe sacrificed this thing, the descendants of the Clan's patriarchs must do something for the Tuoba clan, otherwise they would have to repay the life-saving grace of Tuoba's ancestors with their lives."

It was the first time that Mingjing heard this kind of thing, and he couldn't help but be stunned. After a while, he said, "Has it been... the Tuoba family has never used this thing in recent years?" After so many years, aren't they worried that the descendants of the seven tribes will not admit their conscience?

Jun Wuhuan shook his head and said, "It has never been, even if he agreed to the Clan... the Tuoba royal family also defeated everyone by force. It is also because of this that the Clan tribes also respected the Clan's royal family especially. After all, relying on strength is more convincing than relying on ancestors."

"Why have I never heard of this?" Mingjing couldn't help but doubt. He thought that Jun Wuhuan was looking for something secretly hidden by the Clan, which was much scarier than saying that the Clan members still hid 100,000 elite soldiers there. They accidentally had their plans in the past few years.

Jun Wuhuan smiled faintly and said, "I also heard from my father when I was still very young."

Mingjing stopped talking at once. Of course, he knew who Jun Wuhuan’s father was. General Jun fought with the people of the Clan all his life, and it was not impossible to know some secrets of the Clan.

"The seven tribes you mentioned..."

Jun Wuhuan said: "Yantuo, Jinhe, Chiwu..."

Mingjing couldn't help but tremble in her heart, and she frowned and said, "Will the Yantuo family still follow that token now?"

Jun Wuhuan laughed and said, "Mingjing, you still don't understand the people of the Clan for so many years. This is not a question that the Yantuo family is willing to abide by, but... they must abide by it. Otherwise, they will never be able to gain a foothold in the Clan in the future. The Clan people advocate heroes and hate the villain who most hates words but does not trust. The ancestors of the Tuoba family saved the ancestor of the Yantuo family, which means... the Yantuo family can exist because of the Tuoba family's life-saving grace. Moreover, the ancestors of the Yantuo family themselves admitted this life-saving grace. It would be fine if the Tuoba family didn't say it, but once the Tuoba family proposed it... the Yantuo family must repay the grace." As for what will happen after repaying the grace, they have to repay the grace before they can discuss it again.

"Does Nangong Yuyue know about this?" Mingjing asked.

Jun Wuhuan sighed lightly, and Mingjing immediately understood. It seemed... Nangong Yuyue didn't know about this. Mingjing couldn't help but take a breath. If Tuoba Liang suddenly took out the token and asked the Yantuo family to fulfill the agreement, Nangong Yuyue would be cut in the back by his own tribe members. With Nangong Yuyue's dog-tempered temper, he would be really crazy if he was stabbed by Yantuoyi.

"Tuoba Liang would not take out this thing easily because there was only one token. The Tuoba family could ask descendants of the seven tribes to do one thing for him. However, they could not be disassembled as seven tokens. This is also the reason why the Tuoba clan leader of all dynasties did not use the token. They would not move unless they had to be absolutely necessary." Moreover, the previous Tuoba family heads, including the late emperors, were pioneering kings. Instead of using the so-called tokens to command people to do things, they would rather conquer those people with their own abilities and make them willingly loyal to themselves.

Mingjing asked: "Do you think Tuoba Liang will use the token this time?"

Jun Wuhuan laughed and said, "If he doesn't use it, he will be dead. Do you think...what is important, the token or your own life."

Mingjing touched his chin and thought, and after a while he frowned, "Tuoba Liang actually knew this secret. Didn't he say that he would only pass it on to the clan leader?"

"You forgot who his father was."

Mingjing suddenly realized that yes... Although the former emperor was Tuoba Liang's cousin, the former King of Northern Jin was Tuoba Liang's biological father. It was not strange that he would tell him some secrets.

Mingjing looked at Jun Wuhuan and asked, "Young Master, don't you need to tell Master Nangong about this? It's better for him to be prepared in advance."

Jun Wuhuan shook his head and smiled lightly, "Tell him in advance that he will only be bad things, don't worry about him, everything will go as usual. As for Tuoba Liang... I will go and see it at that time." Mingjing understood that Jun Wuhuan was not planning to take care of the affairs in the Northern Jin court. He nodded and replied, "I understand, please don't worry, young master."

Jun Wuhuan reminded, "Remember, send the things to Tuoba Liang in the morning court tomorrow, don't delay it. Ahulu is also a loyal minister, and it should be buried early."

Mingjing nodded, but couldn't help but complain in her heart.

If you really think that someone is a loyal minister, you will not be able to die even if you die. What's more, the people of the Clan do not care about being buried in peace. Although they are complaining in their hearts, they are not slow at all. They turn around and go out to do business.

The next morning, the civil and military officials of the Northern Jin Dynasty who were about to enter the palace to attend court found a box hanging on the top of the gate of the Northern Jin Dynasty Palace. No one knew when it was hung, because it was still early not only did not see the people on the palace walls and towers, but even the people guarding the palace gate below did not look up. Therefore, when the court officials entered the palace, it was just a little dawn, and they came to see the thing hanging above the main gate.

Everyone couldn't help but talk, and the soldiers stationed on the city tower were also at a loss. For a moment, no one dared to touch the box.

When Tuoba Luo and Tuoba Yin came over, they saw a group of people surrounding the palace gate. Tuoba Luo was sitting in a wheelchair and frowned slightly, and said in a deep voice: "What's going on?"

Everyone quickly moved away, and then the two of them saw clearly what was above the palace gate. Tuoba Luo turned his head to see Tuoba Yin. Tuoba Yin looked slightly dark, but he felt a bad feeling in his heart. After pondering for a moment, Tuoba Yin still spoke: "Take it down and take a look."

The guards on the city tower replied, "Your Majesty has sent someone to report to His Majesty."

Tuoba Yin snorted lightly, jumped up and rushed towards the palace gate. He had a serious injury with one hand, but his lightness seemed to be unaffected at all. He took a slight effort on the palace wall and went to the ground with the box hanging. He pulled it off effortlessly for a moment and rushed back to the palace gate. Everyone looked at the box in his hand, but Tuoba Yin's face was not very good. Although he didn't look, he could probably feel what was inside.

"Prince, what is it?"

Tuoba Luo also looked at Tuoba Yin and said, "Fourth brother, what is it?"

Tuoba Yin frowned, reached out to open the box, and a burst of exclamation suddenly came from the palace gate.
