But the soldiers around him quickly reacted and stabbed him with several spears at the same time.
Hong Gang's body shook and finally fell into a pool of blood. He stared at him with his eyes wide open and died with his eyes open.
Tuoba Tianlong stared at Hong Gang's already cold body with his eyes tightly, and the corners of his mouth unconsciously raised slightly, and his expression full of pride seemed to be admiring a peerless spoil.
He felt extremely happy and thought to himself: "Hmph, Hong Gang, you are finally dead, and no one can stop me from walking."
He turned around, his eyes flashed with a fierce light, and he said loudly: "Hong Gang is dead, but his soldiers must not be kept. Kill them all for me, and don't let anyone go!"
Tuoba Tianlong turned around, with deep gratitude in his eyes. He held Chen Meng's hand tightly and said sincerely: "I want to thank the Prime Minister of Central Plains, Lord Xi Yu. If it weren't for Lord Xi Yu's careful arrangements in secret, I would have been unable to be rescued. I, Tuoba Tianlong, remember this kindness in my heart."
As he said that, he lowered his head slightly, as if he was trapped in memories, his face full of gladness.
Chen Meng looked at Tuoba Tianlong with a serious expression and slowly spoke: "The relationship between the Xianbei and the Central Plains is crucial. The Xianbei must establish good relations with the Central Plains in the future. Only in this way will it be beneficial to both sides. We cannot let the war and conflict continue, and the people have already suffered too much."
Tuoba Tianlong raised his head, a trace of movement flashed in his eyes, nodded heavily, and said, "You are right, I will let the Xianbei people understand that peaceful coexistence is the way to last."
Chen Meng bowed his hand and said with a serious look on his face: "We should go back and report to the Prime Minister. The aftermath here has nothing to do with us, so we are not inconvenient to stay for a long time."
When Tuoba Tianlong heard this, he quickly got out of the bed, not caring about his weakness, and said anxiously: "How can this be done? You have helped me so much, and I must hold a banquet to entertain everyone. This is my wish."
His eyes were full of sincerity and enthusiasm, and he thought in his heart that he must not let these benefactors leave like this, and he must thank them well.
Chen Meng waved his hand and refused with a smile: "We appreciate the good intentions, but we have our responsibilities and cannot be delayed."
After saying that, he turned around and left with a few Central Plains soldiers.
Tuoba Tianlong looked at their departure backs, but was still unwilling to accept it. He led a few people to chase them out and sent them far away.
He looked at the direction where Chen Meng and others were leaving, his heart was filled with emotion, and he silently said: "I must find an opportunity to repay this kindness."
At this time, Song Shuwen and the secret guards hurriedly walked towards this side.
Song Shuwen asked nervously: "What's the situation with Chen Menghonghonggang?"
Chen Meng laughed and said with a relaxed face: "Don't worry, Hong Gang is dead."
Song Shuwen breathed a long sigh of relief, and the heart that had been tense finally relaxed, and a relieved smile appeared on his face.
In the solemn and majestic hall of the Prime Minister's Mansion, Xi Yu sat upright, his eyes sharp and deep.
Seeing Zhao Yun come in, Xi Yu slightly raised his chin and signaled Zhao Yun to get closer.
Xi Yu's voice was calm and serious: "Zhao Yun, do you remember that you did a lot of mistakes a few days ago? These mistakes almost ruined the big things."
His brows frowned slightly, and his eyes were staring at Zhao Yun tightly, as if he wanted to see him through.
When Zhao Yun heard this, his heart suddenly tightened, and a look of guilt appeared on his face. He lowered his head, clasped his fists with both hands, and said sincerely: "Prime Minister, the general knows that he is wrong. Those mistakes have always been resentful and hated his recklessness and carelessness at that time."
He was filled with regret and kept reflecting on his mistakes at that time.
Xi Yu looked at Zhao Yun's appearance and his tone eased a little: "However, now there is a chance to make up for the merits and make up for it. Now the Kushan Empire is a little unrest. I got the news that Chachatu actually bribed people to murder me. Such behavior is really hateful."
Speaking of this, a trace of anger flashed in Xi Yu's eyes, and he patted the handrail hard.
When Zhao Yun heard this, he was filled with righteous indignation. His eyes widened, the blue veins on his forehead burst out, and he shouted: "It's simply outrageous! Chachatu actually did such a thing. Don't worry, the Prime Minister will definitely take down his head this time and make him pay the price for his evil deeds."
There seemed to be a burst of anger in his heart, and he wanted to rush to Chachatu immediately and cut him under the sword.
Xi Yu nodded slightly and said solemnly: "This action cannot be missed. You must bring elite soldiers with you. These elite soldiers are carefully selected by me. They are brave and disciplined, and will definitely help you."
Zhao Yun straightened his chest, his eyes full of confidence and determination. He responded loudly: "Don't worry, Prime Minister. The last general will do his best to live up to the Prime Minister's trust. I will bring these elite soldiers into the heart of the enemy like a sharp sword, and will smash Chachatu's conspiracy to let him know the consequences of murdering the Prime Minister."
He had already begun to plan a strategy for combat in his heart, as if he had seen the dawn of victory.
Xi Yu looked at Zhao Yun with satisfaction. He knew Zhao Yun's ability and determination, and believed that he would be able to complete the task well this time.
On the wide official road, the two brothers He Dong and He Xi were galloping towards where Liu Bei was.
He Dong rode on the horse, with a tall figure, his face filled with excitement and his eyes were bright, and he said loudly to Ho Xi beside him: "Brother, look, the Prime Minister handed over such an important task to us brothers, which is a great trust in us."
His heart was full of pride, feeling that his efforts over the years had finally been recognized. When he thought of this, his chest was raised higher.
He Xi was also full of excitement on his face, nodded repeatedly, and replied: "Yes, brother. I feel very happy now, as if I am full of strength. I used to feel like I was buried, but now I finally have the opportunity to show my skills."
His eyes looked at the road ahead, as if he had seen his bright future, and he secretly vowed in his heart that he would complete this task beautifully.
He Dong narrowed his eyes slightly, faced the wind, and said with great enthusiasm: "We must perform well and not let the Prime Minister down. When we see Liu Bei, we must convey the Prime Minister's words in their original form. There is no mistake in this."
His expression became serious, and he began to think about how to convey Xi Yu's will appropriately after seeing Liu Bei.
He Xi patted his chest and said confidently: "Brother, don't worry, I will be careful. This task is our opportunity, and we must seize it."
The two brothers were on the back of the horse, galloping all the way with their longing for the future and gratitude for the prime minister.
He Dong and He Xi inquired along the way and finally arrived at the village where Liu Bei was.
They led the horse and looked around the village. When they saw a villager, they stepped forward to ask about Liu Bei's residence.
Under the guidance of the villagers, they quickly found Liu Bei's yard.
Liu Bei's injury was almost healed. That day, he was washing clothes quietly alone in the yard.
The sun shone on him, placing a soft light on his figure.
He bent over slightly, rubbed his clothes skillfully in the basin with his hands, with a tranquil expression on his face, and thought to himself: "This ordinary life is rare."
Suddenly, Liu Bei heard footsteps outside the yard. He raised his head alertly and saw two strangers walking in.
His eyes narrowed slightly, with a hint of doubt and caution in his eyes.
But he quickly adjusted his expression, stood up politely, showed a gentle smile on his face, bowed to He Dong and He Xi, and asked politely: "I wonder who are you two? What's going on today?"
When He Dong saw Liu Bei, his eyes lit up. He took two steps and came to Liu Bei and said, "You are Mr. Liu Bei, right? You have long admired the name. We were sent by the Prime Minister. My name is He Dong. This is my younger brother Ho Xi."
After hearing what He Dong and He Xi said, Liu Bei instantly realized that the letter he wrote before was valued by Xi Yu.
His body shook suddenly, and then his eyes turned red.
Liu Bei's hands were trembling slightly. He slowly squatted down, covered his face with his hands, and began to sob in a low voice.
The crying became louder and louder. He cried and choked and said, "What kind of virtue is that I, Liu Bei? I have committed a serious crime, but the Prime Minister still cares about me so much."
He felt guilty and moved, and felt that his previous mistake was like a heavy stone pressing on his heart. Xi Yu's care shone into his dark heart like a beam of light, "I am really guilty, I really let down the Prime Minister's wishes."
He Dong and He Xi stood aside, watching Liu Bei's sudden crying, the two looked at each other with an awkward expression on their faces.
He Dong scratched his head and said at a loss: "Mr. Liu, don't do this for now, this... we are in a difficult situation."
He Xize whispered from the side: "What should we do? Mr. Liu cried, we don't know what to do."
Their eyes kept scanning Liu Bei and each other, hoping that Liu Bei could calm down as soon as possible so that they could continue to say something.
Liu Bei squatted on the ground and cried for a while before slowly standing up.
He kept wiping the tears on his face with his sleeves, and the originally gentle face still had tears at this moment.
Liu Bei took a deep breath and said embarrassedly: "I'm really sorry. Whenever I think of the Prime Minister's grace, I feel very excited and then I lose my composure for a moment. I hope you both don't mind." His eyes were full of sincerity, and he secretly blamed himself for his actions just now.
As he said that, Liu Bei quickly made a call and said enthusiastically: "Two, come into the house and sit down, I'll make tea for you now."
He turned sideways and made way and guided He Dong and He Xi into the house.
Seeing this, He Dong waved his hand and said, "Mr. Liu, don't have to worry. We are mainly here to convey the Prime Minister's words."
Liu Bei shook his head repeatedly and said, "How can you do it? You two come from afar, and there is no reason to speak standing up. It's not too late for us to talk slowly." His attitude was very firm and he must do his best to do his best as a landlord.
He Dong and He Xi looked at each other and followed Liu Bei into the house.
Liu Bei quickly found the tea set and started making tea skillfully. His movements were gentle and orderly, and his heart gradually calmed down. He was ready to listen to Xi Yu's message carefully.
After the three of them sat down in the room, He Dong cleared his throat and said solemnly: "Mr. Liu, after seeing your letter, the Prime Minister was filled with sympathy and indignation. So I specially asked us brothers to come and meet you."
Liu Bei sat on the chair. When he heard this, his lips trembled slightly, and his eyes turned red in an instant.
Tears were rolling in his eyes, and he tried hard to restrain his emotions, but a few tears still slid down his cheeks.
He choked and said, "I, Liu Bei, really don't know how to thank the Prime Minister. I will remember this care in my heart."
After a pause, Liu Bei seemed to have made a great decision. He sighed deeply, showed a look of shame on his face, and whispered: "You two, I'm not hiding it. You make a living by selling straw sandals. Life is difficult. You are charged for protection fees..."
He Dong looked at Liu Bei's guilty and worried expression, leaned forward slightly, and said firmly: "Mr. Liu, you don't need to be afraid. The Prime Minister sent us to eliminate these bullies."
Ho Xi also nodded heavily, clenched his fists, and said loudly: "Yes! These bullies are harming the people and fishing the people, and they should have been punished for a long time. We are here this time to restore peace to the people."
There was anger on his face, and the scenes of bullies bullying the people appeared in his mind, and the anger in his heart was burning.
After hearing their words, Liu Bei's eyes were full of gratitude.
He raised his head slightly and said in a trembling voice: "It is really a blessing for the people for you to have this determination. I, Liu Bei, will also help with all my strength, just hope to make up for my past mistakes."
His expression became serious, and he secretly vowed to fight all these bullies with He Dong and He Xi.
He Dong and He Xi looked at each other, and He Dong spoke to Liu Bei, "Mr. Liu, you will go to sell straw sandals as usual tomorrow. When those bullies come, we will leave them to the two of us to deal with."
His eyes revealed confidence and courage, as if he was already sure to win.
Liu Bei nodded quickly and replied, "Okay, then I'll work hard. You'll be tired all the way. Let's stay here tonight. I'll go and make some wine and let's have a meal together."
He thought to himself that he must treat these two righteous people well.
He Dong waved his hand and said, "Mr. Liu, you don't have to be so polite. We came here mainly for business and don't want to cause you too much trouble."
Ho Xi also said, "Yes, Mr. Liu, we can do whatever we want, there is no need to go to drink wine on purpose."
They keep their tasks in mind and do not want to delay their main business because of these trivial matters.
Liu Bei insisted, "How can this be done? You two have helped me so much. This is just my little intention. Don't refuse."
As he said that, he quickly walked out of the house and went to prepare for a drink.
Liu Bei was walking on the way to get a drink, thinking about how to entertain the brothers He Dong and He Xi.
As we were walking, we suddenly saw Tian Dakui's figure appearing in front of us.
Liu Bei's eyes lit up instantly, and his face was filled with a happy smile.
He walked a few steps quickly and came to Tian Dakui, grabbed Tian Dakui's hand excitedly, and said, "Dakui, thank you so much! The letter you sent played a big role, and people have come from Youzhou."
He was full of gratitude, thinking that if Tian Dakui hadn't helped deliver the letter, things wouldn't have gone so smoothly.
Tian Dakui looked at Liu Bei with a smile and asked, "Brother Liu, what is this?"
Liu Bei smiled mysteriously, his eyes narrowed into a slit, and he said with a smile: "Haha, Dakui, I won't tell you now, you will know naturally in the future."
He thought to himself that the time is not yet ripe, and it is not too late to tell Tian Dakui when things develop further.
Seeing that Liu Bei was so mysterious, Tian Dakui was still curious, but he also tactfully stopped asking questions.
He looked at Liu Bei's mysterious smile and thought to himself: "Since Liu Bei doesn't want to say it, I won't ask for it now. I believe he will tell you in the future."
Liu Bei went to make wine with joy and carefully selected a few delicious dishes at the market.
When he returned home, Liu Bei warmly greeted He Dong and He Xi to sit at the table.
He put the wine pot on the table and said with a smile: "Two, I have worked hard all the way. These are the thin wine and side dishes I specially prepared. I hope you don't dislike me."
He Dong looked at the table full of wine and food and felt a little dissatisfied. He stood up and refused: "Mr. Liu, you are so polite. We are here to perform official duties, how can you spend so much money?"
Liu Bei waved his hand quickly and said with a smile: "Don't be polite, two, you are willing to help me solve the bully's affairs. I'm grateful. This is just a little bit of my wish."
Ho Xi was also infected by Liu Bei's enthusiasm. He smiled and said, "Then we should be respectful and obedient. Mr. Liu, thank you for your hospitality." As he said that, he picked up the wine glass.
Liu Bei's eyes were shiny. He looked at the two of them and said sincerely: "Come on, let's have a drink, I hope our cooperation will go smoothly." The three of them clinked their glasses and drank them all in one go.
Liu Bei prayed silently in his heart, hoping that everything would go well tomorrow and get rid of the bullies.
As night fell, Liu Bei brought He Dong and He Xi to the house in the south.
Liu Bei scratched his head with a little embarrassed, with an apology smile on his face, and said, "You two, I am really embarrassed. My conditions here are simple, so I can only aggrieved you for only one night in this room."
He was full of uneasiness, worried that this simple environment would make the two guests unsatisfied.
He Dong walked into the house, looked around, then waved his hand with a smile and said, "Mr. Liu, you don't have to be so sad. We two brothers have grown up in the countryside since we were young, and we have long been used to this environment."
