The frail counselor you said, you fight against three heroes alone?

Zhao Qiang straightened his body, his eyes flashed with pain and hatred, and he gritted his teeth and said, "I hate the Xianbei people so much!"

His fists were clenched tightly and his voice trembled slightly.

"My mother, she was raped by the Xianbei people when she was young!" His face was full of grief and anger, as if he wanted to vent all the pain he had accumulated for many years.

Xi Yu frowned slightly, with a complicated expression in his eyes, which was both sympathetic and serious.

"I sympathize with your family's situation, but that doesn't mean I can excuse your behavior."

He waved his hand lightly to signal to the people around him.

"Come here, take him out and whip him thirty times." Xi Yu's expression was serious and firm, without any hesitation.

Zhao Qiang's eyes widened, as if in disbelief, but then he showed a hint of relief, as if he had expected this result, and silently followed the guards out.

Then, Xi Yu looked at Gan Mei and said seriously: "Gan Mei, your punishment will not disappear. Just after my birthday, you start cleaning."

Ganmei lowered her head slightly and replied obediently: "Yes, I agree."

At this time, Ouyang Linlin, Sun Shangxiang, Xi Shi and Song Meijiao were playing cards together.

Ouyang Linlin touched the cards and said with emotion: "You said that Mrs. Ganmei is really responsible for causing so many things. It would be better now to have Tuobayu become the prime minister's wife again." She frowned. There was a trace of pain on his face.

Sun Shangxiang snorted lightly.

"Hmph, maybe my husband meant this originally. Maybe he has already liked Tuobayu."

Xi Shi also nodded thoughtfully and said softly: "It's not impossible."

Song Meijiao shrugged.

"Oh, who knows? Who can say clearly about feelings?"

Xianbei.

The sun shines brightly on the training ground. Tuoba Tianlong is wearing a mighty armor and looks at the soldiers who are practicing with a stern expression.

Lu Zhe on the side also had a serious face, scanning the movements of every soldier with sharp eyes.

"Chief, look at these soldiers, they are already well-trained." Lu Zhe narrowed his eyes slightly, raised his hand to wipe the sweat from his forehead and said.

Tuoba Tianlong nodded slightly, with a hint of fierceness in his eyes.

"Well, it's really good."

A sinister smile appeared on the corner of Lu Zhe's mouth.

"In my opinion, we can wait on the road now to prevent that guy from Tuoba Road from coming back."

Tuoba Tianlong's eyes condensed, a flash of determination flashed, and he said in a deep voice: "Okay, let's do it!"

After saying that, he waved his hand.

"Gather five hundred elite soldiers and follow me to set off!"

Afterwards, Tuoba Tianlong strode towards the outside of the field with a firm and cold face, followed closely by five hundred elite soldiers. Their figures gradually disappeared into the distance, as if with endless killing intent and determination.

In the marching team, Lu Zhe walked in front with a gloomy face, and the soldiers behind him followed in an orderly manner.

A soldier named Bahanu frowned, his face looked a little ugly, he covered his stomach with one hand, walked a few steps quickly to catch up with Tuoba Tianlong, and said with a somewhat painful expression.

"Chief, I... I have a stomachache and I can't bear it any longer. I need to deal with it quickly."

Tuoba Tianlong glanced at him impatiently and shouted, "Go quickly and come back quickly!"

If Bahanu was granted amnesty, he nodded quickly and said, "Thank you, General!" Then he hurriedly ran towards a corner.

When he reached the corner, Bahanu looked around and saw that everyone was gradually walking away. The pain on his face disappeared instantly and was replaced by a look of cunning.

He gritted his teeth and whispered to himself: "Hmph, I can't follow you to do such a dangerous thing."

Then, he quickly ran in the other direction without hesitation, and his figure quickly disappeared into the distance.

Tuoba Lu and a few followers were walking hard on the muddy road. They were originally riding horses, but a sudden rainstorm caught them off guard.

While taking shelter from the rain, the horses were not properly cared for and eventually died from the rain.

Tuoba Lu frowned tightly, with a look of helplessness on his face, and said to the followers beside him as he walked: "Oh, what can we do? We wanted to go to other places to buy horses, but we couldn't buy them either. "

One of the followers was breathing heavily, with a look of exhaustion on his face, but he still managed to keep his spirits up and said: "Leader, it doesn't matter, we are almost at Xianbei territory anyway, and then we can live a normal life."

Another attendant wiped his sweat and said: "Yes, sir. We have seen that bicycle in Youzhou this time. That thing is really novel. I heard that it was invented by Xi Yu. If we can really enter the Central Plains , It would be great to have a bicycle.”

Hearing the name "Xiyu", Tuoba Lu's face instantly became even more ugly.

He gritted his teeth, a trace of hatred flashed in his eyes, and said bitterly: "Humph, Xiyu, that hateful guy actually rejected me mercilessly!" His hands were clenched into fists, as if to remove the pain in his heart. The anger was vented.

When the followers saw this, they all fell silent, and the atmosphere became a little dull for a while, with only their heavy footsteps echoing on the silent road.

At this slightly dull moment, Bahanu was seen running from a distance, staggering and panting, with a look of horror on his face.

He suddenly fell down in front of Tuoba Lu, knelt down with a bang, and said in a trembling voice: "Master leader, please don't go back to Xianbei!"

Tuoba Lu's eyes widened, his face full of shock, and he asked hurriedly.

"What's going on? Tell me quickly!"

However, before Tuoba Lu could finish his words, an arrow shot out like lightning.

With a "swish" sound, the arrow hit Bahanu straight in the back.

Bahanu's body shook violently, his eyes widened instantly, and there was an expression of incredible pain on his face.

"Pfft!" Bahanu spat out a mouthful of blood and slowly fell to the ground. His hands were still tightly grasping the corners of Tuoba Lu's clothes. He seemed to want to say something, but he could no longer make any sound.

Tuoba Lu's face instantly turned pale, his eyes filled with shock and fear.

He stared blankly at Bahanu who fell to the ground, his lips trembling slightly: "This... what the hell is going on..."

The followers were also panicked and looked at each other, not knowing what to do. The surrounding atmosphere suddenly became extremely tense and strange.

It turned out that Lu Zhe was standing there, frowning, looking at the direction Bahanu was leaving with a gloomy face, and his heart was full of doubts: "Why has Bahanu been away for so long and not come back? It's really strange."

A close confidant next to him came over and said cautiously: "Sir, do you want to send someone to take a look?"

Lu Zhe gritted his teeth and nodded fiercely: "Go, send someone to follow him quietly to see what this kid is up to."

"Ah!" Bahanu suddenly screamed, and his voice sounded particularly shrill in this empty grassland.

His eyes were wide open and a stream of blood spurted out of his mouth.

The soldier who came from behind snorted coldly, raised the corners of his mouth slightly with a look of disdain, got on his horse, and galloped away without looking back.

Tuoba Lu's eyes widened, his face full of shock and confusion. His mouth opened slightly, but he couldn't speak.

Several of his followers were also stunned. They looked at each other, not knowing what had happened.

"What...what is going on?" Tuoba Lu finally came to his senses and asked stammeringly.

"I don't know either, leader." A follower shook his head, his face full of confusion.

"Let's go back and take a look before talking." Another follower suggested.

Tuoba Lu nodded, took a deep breath, tried to calm down, and then hurried back with his followers.

The soldier quickly integrated into the large army. He ran to Lu Zhe anxiously and said breathlessly: "Sir, Bahanu...he is dead. I want to report to Tuoba Lu."

When Lu Zhe heard this, his eyes suddenly widened with an angry look on his face.

He cursed loudly: "This Bahanu is really a rip-off beast! This is simply unreasonable!" His face turned red with anger and veins popped out on his forehead. "But what if he went to report the news?" Lu Zhe took a deep breath, calmed down his emotions, and sneered, "Don't say he didn't succeed, so what if he succeeded? Tuoba Lu must die today! "There was a hint of sternness and determination in his eyes.

The soldiers stood aside quietly, not daring to express their anger. They knew that Lu Zhe was in a very bad mood, and no one dared to touch him at this time.

Tuoba Lu was riding on the horse, frowning slightly, and while continuing to move forward, he murmured to himself: "Why do I always feel that something is wrong..." There was a hint of doubt and uneasiness in his eyes.

He turned to look at the followers beside him and said seriously: "Do you feel something is wrong? Did something happen to Xianbei?"

Several followers looked at each other, and one of them hesitated and said cautiously: "Chief, actually... we think so too, but we just don't dare to say it."

Tuoba Lu took a deep look at them, sighed, and said, "If there is anything you don't dare to say, it's time now, so just say whatever you think."

Another follower gritted his teeth and plucked up the courage to say: "Chief, we feel that what happened this time is strange. First, Bahanu who reported the news died inexplicably, and then the soldier left in a hurry. Now we always... I feel uneasy. Could it be that something big happened to Xianbei? "

Tuoba Lu nodded and thought for a moment.

"What you said makes sense. It seems we have to speed up and go back to take a look."

Tuoba Lu and his followers continued to move forward.

Suddenly, a dark group of people appeared in front. Tuoba Lu took a closer look and saw that the leader was none other than Lu Zhe.

A surprise smile suddenly appeared on Tuoba Lu's face, and he laughed loudly and said, "Haha, it turns out it's Lu Zhe. He's here to greet me."

But then, the smile on Tuoba Lu's face froze. He looked at Lu Zhe's hateful look as if he wanted to eat someone, and a strange feeling surged in his heart.

He frowned, that's not right, why did Lu Zhe have this expression?

Looking at the soldiers, they all looked filled with righteous indignation, as if they had a deep hatred for themselves. Tuoba Lu's heart sank, and an ominous premonition came to his mind.

Could it be... are they going to rebel?

His face became very ugly, and his eyes were full of shock and vigilance.

Lu Zhe was riding on the horse, looking at Tuoba Lu coldly, his eyes full of hatred, gritting his teeth and said: "Tuoba Lu, you despicable villain, today is the day you die!"

Tuoba Lu's eyes widened and he looked at Lu Zhe in disbelief.

"Lu Zhe, what are you doing? Where did I offend you?"

At this extremely tense moment, a soldier suddenly appeared on a bicycle at lightning speed.

That strange sight instantly attracted everyone's attention.

It was the soldiers at the Youzhou border crossing

Tuoba Lu looked at the soldier with a trace of doubt in his eyes.

He took a closer look and found that he had actually seen this soldier before.

So, Tuoba Lu frowned and asked loudly: "What are you doing here?"

There was a sneer on the soldier's face, and a trace of disdain in his eyes.

He slowly took out a letter from his arms, held it high, and said coldly: "This is a letter from the Prime Minister to you!"

When Tuoba Lu heard that it was Xi Yu's letter, a glimmer of hope suddenly lit up in his eyes, and his heart was filled with fantasy.

Could it be...could it be that Xi Yu agreed to their entry into the Central Plains?
His face was full of expectation, and his eyes were fixed on the letter, as if it was his last life-saving straw.

Tuoba Lu couldn't wait to grab the letter and hurriedly unfolded the paper.

When he saw the contents of the letter, his face instantly turned pale and his eyes were wide open, full of shock and disbelief.

"This...how is this possible?" Tuoba Lu muttered to himself, his hands began to tremble unconsciously.

He raised his head and looked at the soldier who delivered the message, his voice trembling.

"Are you...are you sure this was written by the Prime Minister?"

The soldier sneered and said, "Humph, it's absolutely true. The Prime Minister knows everything about what you are doing."

There was a look of horror on Tuoba Lu's face, his lips trembled slightly, and he muttered: "I didn't expect, I didn't expect that what I did was actually known to Xi Yu..."

At this time, the soldier said coldly: "The Prime Minister has said that he accuses you of being unconscionable and asks you to return to him and surrender at your own risk, otherwise you will bear the consequences!"

Tuoba Lu's body shook suddenly, his eyes were full of panic and helplessness, as if he had lost all hope. He stood there blankly, not knowing what to do.

Tuoba Lu's face darkened, his brows furrowed tightly, and he looked unconvinced.

Huh, this is just a trivial matter, why does he still care about Xi Yu? What a fuss!

His eyes flashed with anger and unwillingness.

The soldier looked at him expressionlessly and said indifferently: "I have brought the letter, I will leave now." After saying that, he turned around without hesitation, got on his bicycle and prepared to leave.

Then he pedaled his bicycle hard and quickly disappeared from everyone's sight.

Tuoba Lu stood there with a very ugly expression on his face, and kept mumbling, his heart full of complaints against Xi Yu. Tuoba Lu turned his head and looked at Lu Zhe, frowning and asked: "Lu Zhe, what is going on? Why are you so hostile to me?"

Lu Zhe rode on the horse, looked at Tuoba Lu coldly, and said righteously: "Tuoba Lu, you are not in the right position as the leader. The real leader should be Tuoba Tianlong!"

Tuoba Lu was shocked when he heard this. He did not expect that Lu Zhe would suddenly bring up this topic.

An awkward smile appeared on his face and he said: "Lu Zhe, what are you talking about? I did become the leader through election. This is a fact recognized by everyone."

Lu Zhe snorted coldly and said: "Tuoba Lu, stop being so pretentious here! Everyone knows that Tuoba Tianlong is the truly capable person. There are many doubts about his death. Maybe it was you who secretly killed him!"

Tuoba Lu's face became very ugly, and a trace of panic flashed in his eyes, but he quickly regained his composure.

"Lu Zhe, don't be slanderous! Tuoba Tianlong's death was an accident and had nothing to do with me!"

Lu Zhe sneered: "Accident? Humph, who will believe what you say? Tuoba Lu, you did whatever it took to fight for the position of leader. Now it's time for you to pay the price!"

Tuoba Lu's heart sank, he knew that things might not go well today.

He took a deep breath and said calmly: "Lu Zhe, what do you want?"

Lu Zhe's eyes were firm and he continued with a cold tone: "Tuoba Tianlong is not dead at all, he has come back, and the soldiers have seen it with their own eyes!"

When Tuoba Lu heard this, he was struck by lightning, his face turned pale instantly, his body trembled involuntarily, his eyes were full of fear and disbelief, and he stammered: "This... How is this possible? I... I clearly saw him with my own eyes..."

Seeing Tuoba Lu's panic, Lu Zhe felt relieved. He continued, "Tuoba Lu, your conspiracy has been exposed! Now, what else do you have to say?"

Cold sweat broke out on Tuoba Lu's forehead. His brain was in chaos and he didn't know what to do.

He tried to calm down, but the fear in his heart grew stronger and stronger, and he began to regret what he had done.

At this moment, the sound of horse hoofbeats suddenly came from far to near.

I saw Tuoba Tianlong riding a horse, running as fast as a gust of wind.

It turned out that just now, Tuoba Tianlong deliberately found a hidden place to hide, just to wait for the critical moment to appear again.

When Tuoba Lu saw Tuoba Tianlong appear alive in front of him, his eyes widened, his face was full of surprise, and his mouth opened wide unconsciously.

He stammered: "Tian... Tianlong, you... you are still alive!"

Tuoba Tianlong tightened the reins.

Then, Tuoba Tianlong's eyes widened with anger and he stared at Tuoba Lu. His chest heaved violently and he roared angrily: "Tuoba Lu, you did not hesitate to frame me in order to seize the position of leader. You are simply What a shame!" His voice was deafening, full of anger and disappointment.

Tuoba Lu's face turned pale instantly, a trace of fear flashed in his eyes, and he retorted tremblingly: "I...I didn't, Tianlong, you...you misunderstood me."

Tuoba Tianlong was furious.

"Misunderstanding? You still dare to quibble! I think your conscience has been eaten by dogs!" (End of Chapter)
