After rebirth, the Queen and I are on the run.

Chapter 1098 Why the Killing Spree?

"Escort the chieftain, Liushan, Chaohe, and Musheng from the third village to the altar to see what the Third Ancestor looks like!" Aunt Alan directly called out the names, and all the people she called out had seen the Third Ancestor.

"Protect the flame, be loyal to the flame!" A group of people from the old village's retinue suddenly shouted.

"Retreat! Retreat! They're going to use poison! Bury your faces in the snow! The snow can block some of the poison gas!" Jiang Dalang shouted from the altar.

"The spies are going to use poison! Back off! Bury your faces in the snow to block the poison!" Mengzi, Aunt Alan, Lang's personal guards, Xu Sanjun, and others risked inhaling the poison as they retreated, repeatedly shouting Jiang Dalang's words.

Upon hearing this, the old village followers grew even more hateful towards the mountain people and the Wei army. This group of people carrying poison split into two, with one group rushing onto the altar: "Kill the general star and extinguish his flame!"

The other group went to catch up with those who had retreated.

Whoosh whoosh!
Whoosh whoosh!
The Wei archers fired arrows, killing the poisoned followers and halting their advance.

Bang bang bang!
In an instant, more than thirty followers carrying poison fell to the ground in the snow. Before they died, they took out poison packets and scattered them in all directions, determined to take their own lives with them.

In the dead of winter, when the wind blows, the poison immediately spreads.

Bang bang bang!
The Wei soldiers grabbed some of the still-dazed mountain people and dragged them into the snowdrifts.

Meanwhile, the Wei soldiers and mountain dwellers who were not within the range of the poison continued to fire arrows, killing the remaining followers and preventing them from taking the opportunity to rush over and kill those who had fallen and dodged the poison.

Whoosh whoosh!
Arrows flew.

Boom boom boom!
The catapults pounded down.

After a chaotic battle, the Wei army and the mountain people, relying on their superior numbers and the availability of antidote, successfully killed the remaining three-tenths of the old village's followers.

Nearly three thousand corpses lay on the snow, a horrifying sight, and many mountain people knelt on the ground, weeping bitterly.

This was because at least two or three hundred of these followers were acquaintances of theirs.

All three of these familiar faces were not wearing masks, and those who were wearing masks were all unfamiliar faces when they lifted their masks.

"Whose son is this, sent to the old village to serve Azu?"

"Which village or family sent this to serve Azu?"

However, nobody recognized him.

The mountain people weren't stupid; they already understood that what Wei Jun said was true... their mountain village had indeed been replaced by spies.

Beep beep!

Aunt Alan blew the arrow in her mouth and shouted, "Brothers and sisters, these spies are not of our bloodline. They were smuggled into the mountains from the Eastern Desert by fake Azu using their identities!"

"Third Chieftain, the relatives of the Third Chieftain's branch are not descendants of spies, because Third Ancestor is an imposter. The real Ancestor, who is related to the Third Chieftain by blood, has been killed!"

“Even our spies aren’t that prolific. Eighty percent of the people in our mountains are still of our own bloodline, not the bloodline of our enemies from the Eastern Desert!”

It was only after his outburst that the mountain villagers, who had been questioning whether they were descendants of spies, were roused.

“Yes, we are not descendants of spies. Every village has a family tree, so we can trace our roots and our bloodline!”

"Third Chieftain, the Third Chieftain is here! Make way!"

When the identity of the Third Ancestor was questioned, some villagers went to Tiger Crouching Valley to find the Third Chief and brought him along.

Behind the Third Chieftain followed his entire family and relatives, numbering at least two or three hundred people.

"Third Chieftain, go and see Third Ancestor. Is he the same person you've seen before?" Deputy General Lang asked.

The three chieftains were all a little scared, afraid that they were descendants of spies... It was alright before, but after tonight, their mountain people had become mortal enemies with Dongmo. If he was a descendant of spies, he would probably be torn apart alive.

"Father, go and see!" the Third Chief's sons urged. That's right, this guy loves beautiful women, and he's rich and powerful, so he has many wives and children in the mountains. So even though he felt sorry for Li Yutong's miscarriage, he didn't help the First Chief kill the old chief because of a miscarried fetus.

"Chief, Eighth Chief, Commander Jiang, Deputy General Lang, this Third Azu is just my uncle, I'm not his son," the Third Chief said, making sure to distance himself from the spy.

"We know we won't hold innocent people accountable," the chief of the stronghold stated.

"Hey, thank you, Chief." For the first time, the Third Chief showed respect to the Chief. After a while, he stepped to the open space next to him to see the paralyzed Third Ancestor.

That's right, he's not dead yet; he's just that tough.

The Third Chieftain, after just one glance, confirmed, "No, no, although Third Ancestor is only nine years older than me, he's not this young. He has thick, black hair, while this fake Ancestor's hair looks like he hasn't eaten enough; the color is a bit light."

“And his eyes… Third Azu’s double eyelids weren’t this deep.”

"The facial features don't match either."

The chief of the village, along with villagers such as Musheng, Liushan, and Chaohe, also went to see the Third Ancestor and said, "It doesn't look like the one we've seen before; it's definitely a fake."

Beep beep!

Aunt Alan blew the mountain arrow again and shouted, "The Third Village Chief, the First Village Chief, and the mountain villager Musheng and others have confirmed that the Third Ancestor of the Old Village is a spy in disguise. The real Third Ancestor has most likely been killed!"

Beep beep!

Upon hearing this, the mountain people all followed the rules of communication within the mountains, blowing their mountain arrows and repeating the words. Soon, the news that San Azu was a spy in disguise spread all the way to Huwo Valley.

All the mountain people were shocked, and their hatred for the spies from the Eastern Desert grew even stronger.

"Charge into the old village and drive the Dongmo people who occupy it out of the mountains!!"

The message was repeated over and over again.

Beep beep!

"Gather! All able-bodied mountain people, quickly assemble under the Wei army's banner. Do not go to the altar; there is scattered poison there. Gather under the banner, and together we will march on the old village, kill the spies, retake the old village, and avenge the dead mountain people!"

The sound of arrows rang out again, and many mountain people, hearing the sound, rushed to gather.

Deputy General Lang was once again stunned by the sight of the mountain people rushing towards them... No wonder the Duke of Yan had been so insistent on preventing the use of force to subdue the mountain people.

How can we subdue so many mountain people, all of whom have been hunting since childhood, by force?

Even if the Wei army wins, the disgruntled mountain people will flee to deeper mountains to seek revenge against the Wei army, and the mountains will never have peace.

This method of taming is quite good.

Deputy General Lang looked at Jiang Dalang and saw that he was still busy with the matter of how to attack the old village. The more he looked at him, the more satisfied he became.

If it weren't for the inappropriate occasion, he would have given Jiang Dalang a thumbs up... This kid is really amazing, he has really managed to win over all the mountain people to the side of Great Wei.

Qin Dongjia is also very capable; she was a great help in winning over the mountain people.

They really are a perfect match.

He will definitely give a big gift when these two younger people get married.

……

Deputy General Lang praised Jiang Dalang highly, while inside the old village, Da Azu and Yetuo informed the true master of the village about what had happened that night.

Da Azu knelt down and begged for forgiveness: "Master, the mountain people have colluded with the Wei army. We are outnumbered and simply cannot defeat them. We had no choice but to retreat and inform you of this news in order to protect Huomiao!"

Upon hearing this, a man wearing a leather mask kicked Da Azu to the ground: "Why did you start killing? Starting killing means you fell into a trap, you fell into that Jiang Dalang's trap, and you helped him complete the flag sacrifice."
