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.
