Chapter 641 The assassination failed
The night was shrouding the camp, and the Xianbei stone land was always thinking about Hong Gang's secret plan.
There was firmness and determination in his eyes, as if he had made up some determination.
He carefully hid a sharp dagger in his cuffs, and the cold touch made his nerves slightly tense.
Shi Di took a deep breath, tried to keep his steps steady, and walked towards Tuoba Tianlong's camp. When he approached the camp, his heartbeat involuntarily accelerated.
He gently lifted the curtain of the tent and stepped into it.
Tuoba Tianlong was sitting in front of the desk, looking at a volume of documents intently.
Hearing the movement, he raised his head and saw that it was Shididu, with a look of confusion on his face.
"Shididu, it's so late, why are you here?" Tuoba Tianlong's voice was low and powerful.
Shi Diji bit his lip and tried to keep his voice calm, "Sir, I...I have something important to tell me."
Tuoba Tianlong frowned, put down the documents in his hand, and signaled that the stones would approach a little.
Shi Di hesitated for a moment, but still stepped forward. His hand unconsciously clenched the cuffs that were hidden in the dagger.
"Tell me, why is it so urgent?" Tuoba Tianlong looked at Shi Di, and a hint of alert flashed in his eyes.
Shi Didu stood in front of Tuoba Tianlong, his eyes flashing, and a look of pretending to be mysterious on his face.
"Chief, I heard that some people have been thinking about entering the Central Plains recently." Shi Didu said softly, while looking at Tuoba Tianlong without blinking.
Tuoba Tianlong raised his eyebrows slightly, looked at Shi Didu with a calm expression, and said slowly: "Oh? Is there anything wrong?"
Shi Didu nodded quickly and continued, "Yes, the leader, I don't know what those people are thinking." He kept rubbing his hands while saying that, as he seemed a little nervous.
Tuoba Tianlong frowned, hugged his hands in front of his chest, and after pondering for a moment, he slowly said, "There is no hurry to do this." A kind of calmness and calmness appeared in his eyes.
Shi Di was a little unwilling to give up and said hurriedly: "But leader, entering the Central Plains is not a trivial matter. Do we have to think about it carefully?" His face showed an anxious look.
Tuoba Tianlong waved his hand and said firmly: "Shididu, don't panic. When entering the Central Plains, you need to make long-term plans and not act rashly." A trace of majesty flashed in his eyes.
Shi Diji bit his lip. Although he had doubts in his heart, he nodded, "Yes, leader, I understand." He lowered his head, and a hint of unwillingness and helplessness appeared in his eyes.
Tuoba Tianlong looked at Shi Didu, sighed slightly, and said earnestly: "Shi Didu, I know what you are thinking, but this matter is of great importance, so don't be too hasty." His tone eased a little, with a hint of comfort.
Shi Didu stood in front of Tuoba Tianlong. Tuoba Tianlong looked at him and said calmly: "If there is nothing else, please step down."
A trace of ruthlessness flashed in Shi Didu's eyes. Suddenly, he took out a dagger from his sleeve at an extremely fast speed and stabbed Tuoba Tianlong suddenly.
After all, Tuoba Tianlong was experienced in the battlefield for a long time and reacted extremely sharply. He sideways, he avoided the sudden attack in a thrilling manner.
"Rareless!" Tuoba Tianlong shouted angrily, then opened his throat and shouted, "Come here!"
Almost instantly, the guards outside the camp heard the shout and rushed in quickly.
When they saw that the stone land was holding a dagger, they immediately understood what was going on. Without saying a word, they rushed forward and surrounded the stone land tightly.
Shi Di still wanted to struggle to resist, but he was helpless and was outnumbered and was soon firmly controlled by the guards.
His face showed a look of despair and reluctance, but he could only let the guards mercy.
Tuoba Tianlong looked at the controlled Shi Didu with a gloomy face, his eyes full of anger and confusion. He never expected Shi Didu to suddenly attack him.
"Take him down for me and interrogate him strictly!" Tuoba Tianlong ordered with gritted teeth.
The guards responded in unison, then escorted Shi Di to the camp, leaving Tuoba Tianlong standing there, frowned, and fell into deep thought.
The campground was silent late at night.
However, what happened in the Tuoba Tianlong Camp tent slowly spread like ripples, attracting the attention of many people.
Hong Gang paced back and forth in his tent, his face gloomy.
When he learned the news, his anger suddenly erupted.
"This idiot!" Hong Gang gritted his teeth and cursed in a low voice, his eyes full of anger, "The stones are really useless! Such a thing can't be done!"
He stopped and punched the table next to him with a fierce punch, "Hmph, it's really better to be successful than to lose things!"
Hong Gang's face became extremely ugly. He frowned, and his eyes revealed deep annoyance and reluctance, "It's great, it's all over! It's all the blame! It's all this waste!"
He sat on the chair, holding the armrest tightly with his hands, as if he was about to crush it, "I thought he could succeed, but I didn't expect...ah!"
Hong Gang sighed deeply, thinking in his heart how to deal with this sudden change.
The guards brought the stone floor to an interrogation room, where various torture instruments were placed.
They began to judge the stone lands, wanting to know who was instructed to assassinate the leader.
The leader of the guard sat at the table, looked at Shi Didu expressionlessly, and asked coldly: "Tell me, who sent you here?"
Shi Diji raised his head, looked at the guard leader firmly, and shook his head.
"No one instructed me, I came here by myself."
The guard leader frowned, obviously not believing his words.
"No one instructs you? Then why do you want to assassinate the leader?"
Shi Di even gritted his teeth, and a look of pain appeared on his face.
"I'm trying to avenge Tuobalu!"
The guard leader snorted coldly.
"Tuoba Lu? He was executed for violating military discipline. Are you avenging him? It's ridiculous!"
A trace of determination flashed across Shi Didu's face.
"He is my brother, I can't watch him die!"
The guard leader slapped the table and stood up.
"Nonsense! Do you think you can get away with it like this? Come on, I will torture me!"
When the guards received the order, they immediately pressed the stones to the ground and began to torture him.
Shi Di gritted his teeth and said nothing, but he always insisted on his own statement.
The guard leader looked at Shi Didu and was a little confused. He didn't understand why Shi Didu insisted on such a statement.
He walked to the stone land and squatted down.
"Shididu, who is instructing you? As long as you tell the truth, I can consider taking it lighter."
Shi Diji looked up and looked at the guard leader, a hint of gratitude flashed in his eyes.
"What I said is true, no one instructed me. I just wanted to avenge Tuobalu."
The guard leader was silent for a moment, then stood up.
"Continue to torture! I don't believe that he won't tell the truth!"
The stones were all covered in bruises, but he still did not change his statement.
The guards also began to feel a little tricky and didn't know what to do.
At this moment, Tuoba Tianlong walked in. He glanced at the stone land that was beaten to the point of being unbearable.
"Stop." Tuoba Tianlong waved his hand and signaled the guards to stop.
The guard leader hurriedly walked to Tuoba Tianlong.
"Chief, he still refuses to tell the truth."
Tuoba Tianlong frowned tightly as he listened to the guards' reports.
He knew in his heart that what Shi Didu said might be the truth.
A woman's cry suddenly came from outside the tent.
He stood up upset and walked out of the camp. He saw Shi Didu's wife Haishe kneeling on the ground, begging with tears on his face.
"Chief, please spare Shi Didu!" Haishe grabbed the corner of Tuoba Tianlong's clothes tightly and said in a trembling voice, "I don't believe he would do such a thing. There must be any hidden information here. Please let me tell you a chance to explain."
Tuoba Tianlong looked at Haishe and couldn't help feeling a little pity. He helped Haishe up and said softly, "You get up first, I will investigate this matter carefully."
Haishe raised his head, a glimmer of hope flashed in his eyes.
"Really? Thank you, leader!"
Tuoba Tianlong nodded, turned around and said to the guards, "Take all the stones down, take them under strict supervision, and wait until I will interrogate him."
The guards took the order and took all the stone land down. Tuoba Tianlong looked at the seaside and comforted him: "Don't worry, I won't wrongly accuse the good people. If all the stone lands were really instructed by someone, I can be relieved."
Haishe looked at Tuoba Tianlong gratefully and thanked him repeatedly. Tuoba Tianlong waved his hand and asked her to go back and rest first. Haishe stood up and left in one step and three times.
After a while, Hong Gang received the news that Tuoba Tianlong did not directly execute Shi Didu. He began to feel a little uneasy, worried that Shi Di would offer him.
Hong Gang paced back and forth in the camp, his face gloomy, and he thought about a solution in his heart.
"This stone land is really troublesome!" Hong Gang gritted his teeth and cursed in a low voice, "Will he give me out?"
Hong Gang stopped, frowned, and hesitated.
"No, I can't sit still and wait for death." A trace of ruthlessness flashed in Hong Gang's eyes, "If Shi Di really confessed me, I will refuse to admit it. Let's see how they can do it to me!"
Hong Gang made up his mind and calmed down a little. He sat down, took a sip of water, and forced himself to calm down.
"As long as I don't admit it, they have no evidence." Hong Gang comforted himself, "Even if Shi Di gritted his teeth, I can still bite back and say that he was falsely accusing me."
Hong Gang stood up and walked around the tent, still feeling a little worried.
"However, we still have to make the worst plan." Hong Gang thought to himself, "If things are really exposed, I can only fight to the death."
Hong Gang's eyes became firmer, and he decided to observe the development of the situation first and then make further plans.
On the other side, Xi Yu and the other five continued to travel day and night.
That night, they came to an inn and prepared to rest here.
Xi Yu sat at the table, took out paper and pen, and began to write letters to Liu Bei.
He looked focused, and the pen in his hand danced on the paper.
"Liu Bei, during this operation, we discovered a serious problem - poppy." Xi Yu wrote in the letter, "This plant toxicity is extremely strong, and once it flows into the market, the consequences will be unimaginable. We must strengthen supervision of poppy and crack down on illegal planting and trafficking."
Xi Yu stopped writing, thought for a moment, and then drew some poppy appearance on the paper.
He carefully depicted the flowers and leaves of poppy, hoping that Liu Bei could better identify poppy through these patterns.
"Liu Bei's these are poppy patterns, so you must let your subordinates pay attention to identify them." Xi Yu reminded in the letter, "Once there is suspicious poppy cultivation or trafficking, take action immediately."
Xi Yu folded the letter, put it in the envelope, and then sealed it.
He stood up, called a secret guard, and handed the letter to him.
"Be sure to hand over this letter to Liu Bei in person." Xi Yu said seriously, "No mistakes should be made."
The guards took the letter and left.
Xi Yu looked at the guard's departure and felt a little relieved.
He hopes that Liu Bei can pay attention to this issue and take effective measures to solve it.
Since this place is not very far from Fangjun, Liu Bei received a letter from Xi Yu at noon the next day.
He opened the envelope and read carefully what Xi Yu said in the letter, paying special attention to the issue of poppy.
Liu Bei's face became serious. He knew the harm of poppy and had to take decisive actions to combat this drug.
He picked up the poppy pattern drawn by Xi Yu, looked at it carefully, and made up his mind secretly.
"Come!" Liu Bei shouted.
A guard immediately walked in.
"Master, what are your instructions?"
"Call all the generals and officials immediately and gather in the meeting hall!" Liu Bei ordered.
The guards took the order and left, and in a short while, the meeting room was filled with people.
Liu Bei sat in the first place and handed Xi Yu's letter and poppy pattern to everyone.
"Everyone, this is a letter sent by the Prime Minister." Liu Bei said, "The letter mentioned a serious problem - poppy. This drug is extremely harmful to the human body. We must crack down on it comprehensively and we must not let it spread on our territory!"
Everyone circulated Xi Yu's letter and poppy pictures, and their faces became solemn.
They all know that fighting poppy is a difficult task, but it is also a mission that must be accomplished.
"Lord, how should we act?" asked a general.
Liu Bei pondered for a moment, and then said: "First, we must strengthen inspections of the border to prevent poppy from flowing in from other places. Secondly, we must post notices in various places to promote the harm of poppy and let the people realize the seriousness of this problem. Finally, we must organize a special team to investigate areas where poppy may be grown, and once discovered, we must eradicate them immediately!"
Liu Bei's tone was firm, and everyone was filled with confidence after hearing this.
"In addition, the Prime Minister has also formulated some new laws that have strictly stipulated the behavior of planting, selling and sucking poppy. We must implement these laws immediately so that those who violate the law will be punished as they deserve!" Liu Bei continued.
"Yes, lord!" everyone responded in unison.
Liu Bei looked at everyone with anticipation. He believed that with everyone's joint efforts, Fangjun will definitely become a non-toxic pure land.
Liu Bei's actions were quick and decisive, and the patrol team he sent carried out a rigorous search in Fangjun.
Not long after, they gained something.
In a remote valley, the patrol team found a field with poppy plantings.
These poppies are blooming brightly, but their bright colors hide fatal dangers.
"Lord, we found a base for growing poppy!" The leader of the inspection team reported to Liu Bei.
Liu Bei rushed over after hearing the news. He looked at the poppy field in front of him and his face became very serious.
"Destroy all these poppies immediately!" Liu Bei ordered.
The soldiers were ordered and started to act immediately.
They walked into the poppy field carefully, pulled out the poppy plants, and then concentrated them to burn them.
"This kind of thing is really harmful!" Liu Bei said with emotion, "We must increase the crackdown and make Fangjun a non-toxic pure land!"
At the same time, other patrol teams also found several bases for growing poppy in Fangjun.
These bases were destroyed one by one, and a large number of poppy and opium were seized and destroyed.
As the action progressed, the people of Fang County gradually realized the harm of poppy.
They all supported Liu Bei's actions and actively reported suspicious planting and trafficking.
Under the leadership of Liu Bei, Fangjun's anti-drug operation achieved remarkable results.
People's lives have become more peaceful and society has become more harmonious and stable.
Liu Bei was completely unaware that his every move was under the strict surveillance of the secret guards.
At this time, the secret guard quickly found Xi Yu and reported in detail what happened here.
After hearing this, Xi Yu showed a gratified smile on his face, and an excitement flashed in his eyes, and he said with satisfaction: "It's done well."
That night, Xi Yu and Tuoba Yu were resting together.
Tuoba Yu asked questions about the secret guards.
"Husband, how did you train them?"
"This is a long story."
Tuoba Yu didn't ask again.
But suddenly I became worried, as if they were talking and doing private things at the moment.
Will the secret guards rush in?
Xi Yu just asked her to keep her heart in her stomach.
Such things won't happen.
Tuoba Yu for a moment.
The next day came soon and they set off.
Xianbei.
Tuoba Tianlong came to Shididu and asked, "Your wife has always been worried about you. You better tell the truth. Who sent me to assassinate me?"
"Didn't you say it? I'm taking revenge for Tuobalu."
"If you tell the truth, I can give it a lighter sentence. Do you confirm that you don't say anything?"
"I have told the truth, what else did I ask me to say?" Shi Di snorted coldly.
Tuoba Tianlong felt particularly disappointed.
It's outrageous!
He doesn't know how to cherish it if he gives him a chance.
"Since that's the case, you can consider the consequences, and the final outcome is death."
"Okay, stop talking nonsense."
Tuoba Tianlong was about to kill all the stones when a soldier arrived.
"Chief, the young man asks you to speak with me."
"What's going on?"
"Chief, you will know when you come out."
So Tuoba Tianlong walked out.
Chapter completed!
