Zhao Qiang straightened his body, his eyes flashed with pain and hatred, and he gritted his teeth and said, "I hate Xianbei people very much!"
His fists were clenched tightly, his voice trembling slightly.
"My mother, she was ruined by the Xianbei people when she was young!" His face was full of grief and anger, as if he was about to vent the pain that had been accumulated over the years.
Xi Yu frowned slightly, and a complex expression appeared in his eyes, both sympathetic and serious.
"I sympathize with your situation, but this does not mean that you can forgive your behavior."
He waved his hand lightly and signaled to the people around him.
"Come, take him out and whip him thirty boards." Xi Yu's expression was serious and firm, without any hesitation.
Zhao Qiang widened his eyes, as if he was a little unbelievable, but then he showed a hint of relief, as if he had expected this result, and followed the guards silently.
Then, Xi Yu looked at Gan Mei and said with a serious expression: "Gan Mei, the punishment for you will not disappear. Just after my birthday, you will start cleaning."
Gan Mei 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 card and sighed: "You said that Mrs. Gan Mei is really a matter of doing so many things, and now it will make Tuoba Yu become the Prime Minister's wife again." She frowned, with a hint of pain on her face.
Sun Shangxiang snorted lightly.
"Hmph, maybe my husband has this meaning, maybe he has liked Tuoba Yu for a long time."
Xi Shi nodded thoughtfully and said softly: "It's not impossible."
Song Meijiao shrugged.
"Oh, who knows, who can explain the relationship clearly?"
Xianbei.
The sun shone on the training ground with a hot sun. Tuoba Tianlong was wearing a mighty armor and looked at the soldiers who were practicing with a cold expression.
Lu Zhe, who was standing beside him, also looked serious and glanced at the movements of every soldier with a sharp look.
"Chief, look at these soldiers, they are well-trained." Lu Zhe narrowed his eyes slightly, raised his hand to wipe the sweat from his forehead and said.
Tuoba Tianlong nodded slightly, and a hint of ruthlessness appeared in his eyes.
"Yeah, 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, so that Tuoba Lu can't come back."
Tuoba Tianlong's eyes condensed, a trace of determination flashed, and he said in a deep voice: "Okay, that's it!"
After saying that, he waved his hand.
"Click five hundred elite soldiers and follow me!"
Then, Tuoba Tianlong walked out of the field with a firm and cold look on his face. Five hundred elite soldiers followed closely behind him. Their figures gradually disappeared into the distance, as if they were with endless murderous 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 and looked a little ugly. He covered his stomach with one hand and walked a few steps to catch up with Tuoba Tianlong, saying with a painful expression.
"Chief, I...I have a stomachache and can't help it anymore. I have to deal with it quickly."
Tuoba Tianlong glanced at him impatiently and shouted, "Go and go back!"
Bahanu was granted a general amnesty and nodded quickly, "Thank you, General!" Then he hurriedly ran towards a corner.
When he arrived at the corner, Bahanu looked around and saw that everyone had gradually walked away, the pain on his face instantly disappeared, replaced by a hint of cunning.
He gritted his teeth and whispered to himself: "Hmph, you can't follow you to do this dangerous thing."
Then, without hesitation, he quickly ran in the other direction, and his figure quickly disappeared into the distance.
Tuoba Road and several followers walked hard on the muddy road. They were originally riding horses, but a sudden heavy rain caught them off guard.
While she was sheltering from the rain, the horses were eventually soaked to death because they were not properly cared for.
Tuoba Lu frowned tightly, with helpless expression on his face, and said to the followers beside him: "Oh, what should we do? We wanted to buy horses elsewhere, but we couldn't buy them."
One of the followers was gasping for breath, his face full of fatigue, but he still tried to force himself to say, "Chief, it's okay, I'm almost at the Xianbei territory anyway, and we can live a normal life by then."
Another follower wiped his sweat while interjecting, "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 could really enter the Central Plains, it would be great if we could own a bicycle."
When Tuoba Lu heard the name "Xi Yu", his face instantly became even more ugly.
He gritted his teeth, a hint of hatred flashed in his eyes, and he said hatefully: "Hmph, Xi Yu, that hateful guy, actually rejected me ruthlessly!" His hands were clenched into fists, as if he wanted to vent all the anger in his heart.
Seeing this, the followers were silent. The atmosphere became a little dull for a moment, and only their heavy footsteps echoed on this quiet road.
At this slightly dull moment, Bahanu staggered and ran from afar with panting, his face full of horror.
He suddenly fell to Tuoba Lu, knelt down with a "thump" sound, and said in a trembling voice: "Sir, don't go back to Xianbei!"
Tuoba Lu widened his eyes, his face full of shock, and he hurriedly asked.
"What the hell is going on? Tell me!"
However, before Tuoba Lu finished speaking, an arrow shot towards him like lightning.
With a "swoosh", the arrow shot straight into Bahanu's back.
Bahanu's body shook violently, his eyes widened for a moment, and his face showed an incredible look of pain.
"Puff!" Bahanu spewed out a mouthful of blood and slowly fell to the ground. His hand was still holding the corner of Tuoba Lu's clothes tightly, as if he wanted to say something, but he could no longer make a sound.
Tuoba Lu's face turned pale in an instant, and his eyes were filled with shock and fear.
He stared blankly at Bahanu who was lying on 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 atmosphere around them suddenly became extremely tense and weird.
It turned out that Lu Zhe stood there, frowned, and looked at the direction of Bahanu leaving with a gloomy face, his heart full of doubts: "Why has this Bahanu been there for so long and hasn't come back yet? It's so strange."
A close friend next to him came over and said carefully: "Sir, do you want to send someone to see you?"
Lu Zhe gritted his teeth and nodded fiercely: "Go, send someone to follow him quietly and see what the hell is doing."
"Ah!" Bahanu suddenly screamed, his voice particularly shrill on this empty grassland.
I saw his eyes wide open and a stream of blood spurted out of his mouth.
The soldier who came from behind snorted coldly, his mouth slightly raised, showing a trace of disdain. He turned over and galloped away without looking back.
Tuoba Lu widened his eyes, his face full of shock and confusion. His mouth opened slightly, but he couldn't speak.
Several of his followers were also shocked. They looked at each other, not knowing what had happened.
"This...what is going on?" Tuoba Lu finally came to his senses and asked stammeringly.
"I don't know, leader." A follower shook his head, his face full of confusion.
"Let's go back and have a look." Another follower suggested.
Tuoba Lu nodded, he took a deep breath, tried to calm himself down, and then hurried back with his followers.
The soldiers quickly merged into the large army. He ran to Luzhe with an anxious expression and said breathlessly: "Sir, Bahanu he...he is dead. I want to report to Tuobalu."
When Lu Zhe heard this, his eyes widened and an angry look appeared on his face.
He cursed: "This Bahanu is such a traitor! It's simply outrageous!" He was so angry that his face flushed and his forehead was bulging.
"But what if he goes to report the message?" Lu Zhe took a deep breath, calmed down his emotions, and sneered, "Don't say that he didn't succeed, so what if he succeeded? Tuoba Lu must die today!" A trace of ruthlessness and determination were revealed in his eyes.
The soldiers stood quietly aside, not daring to show off their anger. They knew that Lu Zhe was in a very bad mood now, and no one dared to touch his bad temper at this time.
Tuoba Lu rode on the horse, frowned slightly, and muttered to himself as he continued to move forward: "Why do I always feel something is wrong..." A trace of doubt and uneasiness appeared in his eyes.
He turned his head to look at the followers beside him and said with a serious expression: "Do you think something is wrong? Is there something wrong with Xianbei?"
Several entourages looked at each other, one of them hesitated for a moment and said carefully: "Chief, actually... we think so too, but we just don't dare to say it."
Tuoba Lu looked at them deeply, sighed, and said, "There is nothing I dare not say? It's now, so I'll just say anything if I have any ideas."
Another follower gritted his teeth and plucked up the courage and said, "Chief, we feel that this incident is strange. First, Bahanu, who reported the news, died inexplicably, and then the soldier left in a hurry. Now we always feel uneasy. Could it be that something big happened to the Xianbei?"
Tuoba Lu nodded and pondered for a moment.
"You guys make sense, it seems we have to speed up and go back and take a look."
Tuoba Lu and his followers continued to move forward.
Suddenly, a group of people appeared in front of him. Tuoba Lu looked closely and found that it was Lu Zhe who was in charge.
A surprise smile suddenly appeared on Tuoba Lu's face, and he laughed and said, "Haha, it turns out it's Lu Zhe, he is here to welcome me."
But then, the smile on Tuoba Lu's face froze. He looked at Lu Zhe's hatred as if he wanted to eat people, and a strange feeling surged in his heart.
He frowned, it wasn't right, how could Lu Zhe have this expression?
Looking at the soldiers, they were all filled with righteous indignation, as if they had a deep hatred with them. Tuoba Lu's heart sank, and an ominous premonition surged into his heart.
Could it be...will they rebel?
His face became very ugly, and his eyes were filled with astonishment and vigilance.
Lu Zhe rode on the horse and looked at Tuoba Lu coldly, his eyes full of hatred, and said with gritted teeth: "Tuoba Lu, you despicable villain, today is your death!"
Tuoba Lu widened his eyes and looked at Lu Zhe in disbelief.
"Lu Zhe, what are you doing? Where did I offend you?"
At this tense moment, a soldier suddenly appeared on his bicycle like lightning.
The strange scene instantly attracted everyone's attention.
It was the soldiers at the Youzhou transit
Tuoba Lu looked at the soldier with a hint of doubt flashing in his eyes.
He looked carefully and found that he had seen this soldier.
So Tuoba Lu frowned and asked loudly, "What are you doing?"
The soldier showed a sneer on his face and a hint of disdain in his eyes.
He slowly took out a letter from his arms, held it high, and said coldly: "This is the letter from the Prime Minister!"
When Tuoba Lu heard that it was Xi Yu's letter, a glimmer of hope suddenly ignited in his eyes and his heart was full of fantasy.
Could it be... Did Xi Yu agree to them enter the Central Plains?
His face was full of anticipation, and his eyes were staring at the letter, as if it was his last life-saving straw.
Tuoba Lu couldn't wait to snatch the letter and hurriedly unfolded the letter paper.
When he saw the contents of the letter, his face turned pale in an instant, his eyes widened, full of astonishment and disbelief.
"This... how is this possible?" Tuoba Lu murmured to himself, his hands began to tremble unconsciously.
He raised his head and looked at the soldiers who were sending the letter, his voice trembling.
"You... are you sure this was written by the Prime Minister?"
The soldier sneered and said, "Hmph, it's true, the Prime Minister is in his hands with what you do."
Tuoba Lu's face showed a look of horror, his lips trembled slightly, muttering: "I didn't expect that Xi Yu would find out what I did..."
At this time, the soldier said coldly again: "The Prime Minister said, accusing you of being careless and asking you to return to him quickly to surrender, otherwise you will be responsible for the consequences!"
Tuoba Lu's body shook suddenly, his eyes filled with panic and helplessness, as if he had lost all hope. He stood there blankly, not knowing what to do.
Tuoba Lu's face became gloomy, his brows frowned tightly, and his face was dissatisfied.
Humph, this is just a trivial matter, why does Xi Yu still have to deal with it? It’s really a big problem!
Anger and reluctance flashed in his eyes.
The soldier looked at him expressionlessly and said coldly: "I believe I have brought it, I'll leave now." After that, he turned around without hesitation, rode his bicycle and prepared to leave.
Then he pedaled the bicycle hard and quickly disappeared from everyone's sight.
Tuoba Lu stood there, his face looked very ugly, and he kept muttering, his heart full of complaints about Xi Yu. Tuoba Lu turned his head, looked at Lu Zhe, frowned, and asked, "Lu Zhe, what's going on? Why do you hate me so much?"
Lu Zhe rode on the horse, looked at Tuoba Lu coldly, and said righteously: "Tuoba Lu, your leader's position is not right, the real leader should be Tuoba Tianlong!"
Tuoba Lu was shocked when he heard this. He did not expect Lu Zhe to suddenly raise this topic.
A hint of embarrassing smile appeared on his face and said, "Lu Zhe, what are you saying? I did become the leader through recommendation, which is a recognized fact."
Lu Zhe snorted coldly and said, "Tuoba Lu, don't pretend to be hypocritical here! Everyone knows that Tuoba Tianlong is a truly capable person. His death is full of doubts, and maybe it's your secret trick!"
Tuoba Lu's face became very ugly, and a hint of panic flashed in his eyes, but he soon returned to calm.
"Lu Zhe, don't slander people! Tuoba Tianlong's death is an accident and has nothing to do with me!"
Lu Zhe sneered: "Accident? Humph, who would believe your words? Tuoba Lu, you did whatever you want to compete for the position of the leader. Now it is time to pay the price!"
Tuoba Lu's heart sank. He knew that things today might not be good.
He took a deep breath and said in a pretentious manner: "Lu Zhe, what do you want?"
Lu Zhe's eyes were firm and his tone continued in a cold tone: "Tuoba Tianlong was not dead at all. He has returned. The soldiers have seen it with their own eyes!"
When Tuoba Lu heard this, his face turned pale as if he was struck by lightning. His body trembled involuntarily, his eyes were filled with horror and disbelief, and he stammered: "This... how is this possible? I...I clearly saw him with my own eyes..."
Lu Zhe looked at Tuoba Lu's panic look and felt a sense of relief. 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 himself down, but the fear in his heart became stronger and stronger, and he began to regret what he did.
At this moment, the sound of horse hooves suddenly came from far to near.
Tuoba Tianlong rode his horse and ran towards him like 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 appearing alive in front of him, his eyes were wide open, his face full of surprise, and his mouth opened unconsciously.
He stammered: "Heaven...Heaven Dragon, you...you are still alive!"
Tuoba Tianlong tied the reins.
Then, Tuoba Tianlong opened his eyes wide and stared at Tuoba Lu. His chest was undulating violently, and he shouted angrily: "Tuoba Lu, you actually framed me in order to seize the position of leader. You are simply disgraceful!" His voice was deafening, full of anger and disappointment.
Tuoba Lu's face turned pale in an instant, a trace of fear flashed in his eyes, and he retorted tremblingly: "I...I don't, Tianlong, you...you misunderstood me."
Tuoba Tianlong was furious.
