The soldiers responded in unison and quickly stood on their respective posts, with their eyes full of vigilance.
After arranging the guards here, Chen Meng looked at the other soldiers, "You guys, hurry up and ask Lord Song Shuwen. Report the situation here in detail, no mistakes must be made."
The soldiers took the order and immediately turned around and left quickly. Their figures quickly disappeared from sight.
Chen Meng stood in the room with a lot of thoughts in his heart.
He knew that this task was of great importance and could not be missed. He must always be vigilant, wait for Song Shuwen to come, and discuss the next steps together.
Outside the room at this time, Hong Gang looked at Chen Meng's series of actions, and although he was dissatisfied, he also understood that this was a helpless move under the current situation.
Chen Meng stood there, full of doubts.
He really couldn't figure out why the Prime Minister didn't let Song Shuwen come with them this time?
In his opinion, doing so would clearly waste a lot of time.
However, after thinking about it, the Prime Minister has always been far-sighted, and his arrangement must have a profound meaning.
Chen Meng frowned and tried hard to think about the intention behind the Prime Minister's move. Perhaps, the Prime Minister was testing their abilities?
Or maybe Song Shuwen has other important tasks in his body? Various speculations kept popping up in Chen Meng's mind, but he could never determine the real reason.
He sighed lightly and decided not to worry about it anymore.
Since the Prime Minister made such arrangements, they only need to act according to the orders, and believe that as the matter develops, the Prime Minister's intentions will gradually become clear.
Chen Meng calmed down and focused his attention on the current task again, ready to face unknown challenges.
The night was deep, and Hong Gang was lying on the bed, but he was sleepless. His heart was full of worries and tossed and turned.
He kept thinking, what if the Zhongyuan Divine Doctor arrives, with his superb medical skills, if he can see Tuoba Tianlong's disease, what should he do?
Now, soldiers are closely guarding each other, and I can't take any action against Tuoba Tianlong.
Hong Gang felt as if he was in a dilemma and could not break free.
He sat up, frowned, and thought hard about countermeasures.
Will you be able to find a scapegoat in the end? But is this really the best way?
Hong Gang's heart was full of contradictions and uneasiness.
Outside the window, the night was as dark as ink, silent. Hong Gang's thoughts were like this endless night, chaotic and confused.
He didn't know where he should go, so he could only suffer alone in this darkness, waiting for the choice of fate.
Xi Yu has been waiting for news from Xianbei, and is concerned about the situation on the Xianbei side.
Time seemed to have become particularly long, and every minute and every second made him suffer.
Finally, a soldier hurried back to the mansion and brought about the situation in the Xianbei side.
Xi Yu hurriedly came forward and listened carefully to the soldiers' reports.
The soldiers told them all about what they learned. Xi Yu sometimes frowned and pondered, and sometimes nodded slightly.
After listening to the soldiers' reports, Xi Yu asked the soldiers to go and rest first, indicating that they would come here again tomorrow.
Then, he had a plan in his mind and decided to let the soldiers take Song Shuwen to the Xianbei together tomorrow.
The morning sun shone in the courtyard, and Xi Yu sent someone to call Song Shuwen early. After Song Shuwen arrived, Xi Yu told him about the Xianbei incident one by one with a serious expression.
After hearing this, Song Shuwen frowned slightly and asked, "Prime Minister, since that's the case, why don't I let me follow the first batch of soldiers?"
Xi Yu looked at Song Shuwen and explained patiently: "The first time I went there was just to inquire about the situation, and I didn't fully understand the situation. If you rashly asked you to go with me, it would only make you go one more trip, which would only increase your hard work."
Then, Xi Yu clapped his hands and the secret guard appeared quietly like a ghost.
Xi Yu ordered the secret guards seriously: "This time you go to Xianbei, you must protect Song Shuwen and do not make any mistakes."
The secret guards respectfully bowed their heads to the promise.
Song Shuwen looked at the secret guard and felt a warm feeling in his heart.
He knew that Xi Yu cared for him and also understood the arduousness of this task.
He secretly made up his mind to live up to his responsibilities and contribute his strength to solving the Xianbei affairs.
Song Shuwen and the soldiers embarked on a journey, with their expressions of determination and their pace. However, they did not know that a conspiracy was brewing quietly in the dark.
In the Xianbei land, Hong Gang suddenly had a plan on that day.
He knew very well that Song Shuwen might have ruined his major events if he entered the Xianbei area, so he secretly ordered someone to intercept Song Shuwen on the way to come.
Hong Gang's eyes were cold and he said to himself: "You must never let Song Shuwen enter the Xianbei."
At this time, Song Shuwen and others were unaware of the coming danger. They continued to move forward and headed towards the Xianbei.
Song Shuwen and others walked along the way. Although the atmosphere was a bit solemn, everyone was full of a sense of mission.
They didn't know that the danger was approaching step by step.
The killers sent by Hong Gang were hiding in the mountains and forests on both sides of the road. Their eyes were as sharp as eagles and falcons, staring in the distance, waiting for Song Shuwen and his group to appear.
These killers are all very skilled and ruthless, and they are just waiting for the best time to take action.
Finally, Song Shuwen and the others appeared in sight.
The killers winked at each other and quietly clasped the weapons in their hands.
When Song Shuwen and others approached, the killers rushed out like hungry wolf. For a moment, the shouts of killing were shocking.
The secret guards were caught in the battle group like a black whirlwind and fought fiercely with the killers.
The sword light flashed, the sword shadows flew, and the sound of metal collisions continued.
A dark guard was passing through the killer like a ghost, wielding a long sword in his hand, stabbing the killer accurately at the critical point.
The killers were not willing to be outdone and wielded their weapons to resist desperately.
But the secret guards were obviously stronger, their attacks were fierce and fatal, making the killers gradually unbearable.
Song Shuwen and the soldiers watched the battle nervously, feeling both excited by the heroic spirit of the secret guards and worried about the tension of the situation.
They held the weapons in their hands tightly and were ready to join the battle to support the secret guards.
"Kill!" A secret guard shouted, and the sword attacked the killers like a storm.
The killers were shocked by this powerful aura and retreated one after another.
But they also understood that if they retreated at this time, they would undoubtedly die.
So, they mustered up the courage again and fought desperately with the secret guards.
The battle has entered a white-hot stage, and both sides are trying their best.
Some wounds appeared on the secret guards, but they did not retreat and were still fighting tenaciously.
They only have one belief in their hearts, that is, to protect Song Shuwen and complete the task.
In this fierce battle, time seemed to have frozen.
After a thrilling battle, the secret guards finally subdued the killers one by one with their outstanding skills and tenacious will.
The secret guards had a cold look and their hearts were full of anger. They had to figure out who was behind the scenes.
A secret guard sternly asked the killer: "Say! Who sent you here?"
However, the killers gritted their teeth and would rather die than surrender.
Seeing this, the secret guards began to torture these killers without mercy and tried to force them to tell the truth.
The cruel torture continued, and the killers suffered tremendous pain.
Finally, a killer could no longer bear it, and his psychological defense completely collapsed.
He said in a trembling voice: "Yes... it was Hong Gang who sent us here."
Upon hearing this news, Song Shuwen and the secret guards' faces became even more serious.
The secret guards escorted the killer who revealed the truth and marched towards the Xianbei in a fierce manner.
They were full of anger and vowed to settle the score with Hong Gang.
And in the Xianbei camp, Hong Gang suddenly felt an indescribable uneasy.
In his heart, he felt that something happened to the killers. This feeling of uneasiness followed him like a shadow, making him feel restless. In the end, Hong Gang decided to go out and take a look.
He walked out of the tent, and the sun was shining brightly outside.
However, Hong Gang could not feel the warmth of the sun at all, and only felt that his heart was shrouded in a shadow.
He looked around uneasy, and the wind blew gently, but it could not dissipate the haze in his heart.
Just as Hong Gang was full of anxiety, Chen Meng walked over. Chen Meng looked at Hong Gang's face was wrong, and there was cold sweat on his forehead. He couldn't help but ask in confusion: "Why are you sweating so coldly? What happened?"
Hong Gang felt nervous, smiled awkwardly, and hurriedly covered up, "No... nothing happened."
His eyes dodged a little, and he did not dare to look at Chen Meng.
Chen Meng frowned slightly, obviously not convinced Hong Gang's answer. He carefully observed Hong Gang's expression and tried to find some clues from his expression.
However, Hong Gang tried hard to remain calm and not let his emotions be exposed.
The sun was still shining on the ground with a blazing heat, but the atmosphere became a little weird at this moment.
Hong Gangqiang pretended to be calm and continued to walk forward, but his inner tension and anxiety made him feel that his clothes were almost wet with cold sweat.
His heart was filled with hatred for Xi Yu at this moment, and he secretly complained: "I stretched my hands too long, why should I manage the Xianbei affairs so much?"
He was very angry while walking, feeling that Xi Yu's interference disrupted his plan.
Hong Gang gritted his teeth, and various countermeasures kept coming into his mind, trying to get rid of the current predicament. But the resentment towards Xi Yu was like a shadow, making his mood heavier.
Hong Gang walked uneasyly. After walking a few steps, he suddenly heard a rapid sound of horse hooves from far to near.
He felt a stern in his heart, and he looked up and suddenly surprised him.
I saw a group of people from Zhongyuan rushing towards me, and the killers who were sent to intercept Song Shuwen were also taken back in a mess.
Hong Gang's face turned pale in an instant.
The sun was still dazzling, but Hong Gang felt like falling into an ice cellar. He stood there, looking nervously at the people from Central China who were gradually approaching, his heart full of uneasiness and uneasiness.
The soldier looked at Hong Gang with confusion and asked, "What do these killers mean?"
Hong Gang's eyes flashed, pretending to be confused, and quickly said, "If you don't know these people, who are they?"
The soldier obviously didn't believe Hong Gang's words, and his eyes became even more severe, "Hong Gang, you'd better tell the truth."
Then the soldier turned to the killer and ordered: "Tell me about the relevant situation."
The killers looked at each other, and under the pressure of the soldiers, the killer who was the first to reveal the truth trembled again: "Yes... it was Hong Gang who sent us to intercept the people of Zhongyuan."
Hong Gang's face instantly became extremely ugly. He tried to make a quibble, but the soldiers had already heard the truth.
At this time, Hong Gang was in extreme passivity and he didn't know how to deal with the next situation.
The atmosphere around became extremely tense, as if a storm was about to come.
The soldier stared at Hong Gang and asked again: "What else do you have to say? Although I am just a soldier, I am also the Prime Minister and have the right to question you."
A hint of panic flashed in Hong Gang's eyes, but he quickly calmed down and said loudly: "These killers whine at people, I have never said they want to kill people." His tone was tough, trying to cover up his guilt.
The soldier was unmoved. He sneered and said, "The evidence is conclusive, do you still want to deny it? Hong Gang, you'd better explain honestly, otherwise you will bear the consequences."
Fine beads of sweat appeared on Hong Gang's forehead, and he knew that he was in a desperate situation.
But he was still unwilling to give up and continued to argue: "I was really wronged. These killers must have been instructed to frame me on purpose."
However, the soldiers no longer believed his words.
Seeing that Hong Gang was still refusing to admit it, the killers were furious and insulted Hong Gang.
"You obviously did it, but you didn't admit it. What a coward!"
Hong Gang's face turned pale, but he still stubbornly insisted on his statement: "I haven't done it before, don't slander me."
The soldier looked at the stalemate, thought for a moment and said, "Okay, since that's the case, let's go. Let these killers go."
Song Shuwen felt very strange on the side. Just as he was about to ask, the soldier whispered to him: "Anyway, we have already crushed Hong Gang's conspiracy, and it's useless to keep these killers. Moreover, letting them go will make Hong Gang even more confused about our details."
After listening to this, Song Shuwen felt it made sense and nodded slightly.
Hong Gang looked at the killer who was let go, and felt unwilling and angry, but he could do nothing.
Hong Gang quickly turned his gaze to Song Shuwen, with a hint of surprise and uneasiness in his eyes.
He asked anxiously: "Is this a miracle doctor?" The soldier nodded slightly and confirmed Song Shuwen's identity.
Song Shuwen snorted coldly, full of disdain for Hong Gang's attitude. Hong Gang's face was filled with smiles, and he quickly apologized to Song Shuwen: "Doctor Song, I really don't know that you were murdered. This really has nothing to do with me. But when I see that Dr. Song is fine, I feel relieved."
Song Shuwen didn't want to get too involved with Hong Gang, after all, he still had more important tasks to complete.
"Hmph, it's better that it has nothing to do with you." Song Shuwen left this sentence and ignored Hong Gang.
Hong Gang laughed loudly, trying to ease the awkward and tense atmosphere.
"Doctor Song, please, please, everyone, please." He greeted everyone enthusiastically.
Song Shuwen glanced at Hong Gang expressionlessly and took steps with the soldiers.
After everyone left, the smile on Hong Gang's face disappeared instantly, replaced by an extremely ugly look.
His heart was filled with annoyance and uneasiness. This failure to intercept him fell into an extremely passive situation.
Song Shuwen stepped into the Xianbei land and started coughing after walking a few steps.
Seeing this, the soldier asked with concern: "Doctor Song, what's going on?"
Song Shuwen frowned slightly and said softly: "Maybe he is not suitable for the local environment."
Just then, Hong Gang walked in.
Hearing Song Shuwen's words, he immediately instructed his servants: "Come on tea, milk, etc. to quench Dr. Song's thirst."
The people heard the sound and went to prepare in a hurry.
Hong Gang looked at Song Shuwen with a smile on his face, but there was an elusive emotion in his eyes.
"Doctor Song, I have worked hard all the way. Let's drink something to relieve the discomfort."
Song Shuwen looked at Hong Gang, although he had doubts in his heart, he did not refuse.
After a while, the servant brought tea and milk.
Song Shuwen picked up the teacup, took a sip, and felt the warm liquid slipping across his throat.
The cough seemed to relieve a little.
Hong Gang's face was filled with a hypocritical smile and continued to say polite words: "Doctor Song, I'm really troubled you this time. We are grateful for your hard work to come to Xianbei."
His tone was extremely sincere, as if the previous conspiracy had never happened.
Then, Hong Gang said: "After Dr. Song returns, please give me a greeting to Prime Minister Xi Yu of the Central Plains on my behalf."
Song Shuwen nodded slightly, his expression still calm.
He knew in his heart that Hong Gang's words were just politeness on the scene, and there might be deeper calculations hidden behind them.
At this time, the atmosphere in the room seemed to be gentle, but in fact it was undercurrent.
After a while, Song Shuwen couldn't help coughing again. He frowned and said, "My symptoms of being unacceptable to the local environment are difficult to relieve for a while. If you don't want to waste your time, you should hurry up and see Tuoba Tianlong."
Hong Gang shook his head slightly and said slowly: "The disease of Chief Tuoba is not for a day or two, so don't worry about it. Doctor Song, you should have a good rest. It's not too late to go to the diagnosis and treatment when you feel more comfortable."
A seemingly concerned smile appeared on his face, but a hint of undetectable tension was revealed in his eyes.
Song Shuwen said firmly: "No, I can't wait any longer. Let's go see the leader Tuoba now."
When Hong Gang saw that Song Shuwen was firm in his attitude, he didn't know how to stop him for a while.
Seeing that Song Shuwen insisted on doing this, Hong Gang felt unwilling to do so, but he had no choice but to accept it. He had to reluctantly agree and take Song Shuwen to Tuoba Tianlong's camp.
Soon, they arrived at the entrance of Tuoba Tianlong Camp.
Chen Meng was standing straight outside guarding. When he saw Song Shuwen coming, he nodded slightly and greeted him politely.
Song Shuwen also smiled back, and felt a little more favorable to this serious guard.
Song Shuwen slowly walked towards the entrance of the camp, about to unveil the mystery of Tuoba Tianlong's illness.
There were several soldiers standing indoors, with solemn expressions and a solemn atmosphere.
Hong Gang took Song Shuwen to Tuoba Tianlong's bed. Looking at the pale and unconscious leader Tuoba, Hong Gang sighed deeply.
"Doctor Song, I'm going to trouble you this time. You must treat the disease of Chief Tuoba."
Song Shuwen looked at Tuoba Tianlong on the bed and felt a sense of responsibility in his heart.
He nodded slightly and began to check Tuoba Tianlong's condition with a serious expression.
Chapter completed!
