The battle was over, and the battle was over.

Ban Chao nodded and said, "Please rest assured, my lord. We will do our best to complete the task assigned by you."

Li Yichen shook his head and said, "Although the success or failure of the Tatars' layout is important, you two should put your lives first. If the situation is not right, withdraw to Lizhou immediately. When you arrive in Tatar, the Jinyiwei will contact you two and provide intelligence and various assistance."

Under the morning sun, Tuoba Qinghan led a large group of people and drove thousands of ox carts all the way to the outside of the pass.

The caravans of different sizes were everywhere along the way, which did not seem abrupt.

Twenty days later, Tuoba Qinghan and his companions finally made it out of the pass. Outside the pass, at the foot of Yinwu Mountain, a large group of people transporting grain took a rest.

Tuoba Qinghan called his confidant, Ban Chao and Zhao Yun, and slowly said in an empty corner: "Among the 6,000 people who transported food and grass back to Tatar this time, only 2,000 are our own people, and the remaining 4,000 belong to the troops under Marshal Mudada. Since we have decided to start an uprising, let's bury these 4,000 people in Yinwu Mountain."

"It's just right to use the food purchased this time as food and grass for my uprising."

Ban Chao nodded in agreement and said: "When we reach the fork in the road hundreds of miles away, these people will definitely part ways with us. It's better to kill people and seize food here to escort part of the food and grass to Kunshan City where Mudada is located, and it's just right to sound the first drum of war for our uprising."

Under Tuoba Qinghan's arrangement, his confidant delivered clean water to the 4,000 soldiers under Mudada in the troops escorting food and grass. These soldiers did not suspect him, and they were hungry and thirsty all the way. They took the water bag and began to drink water in big gulps.

Soon, they found something wrong. After drinking the water, the soldiers began to feel weak and weak, with stars in their eyes, and collapsed to the ground.

Pei Baxi, the general in charge of leading the 4,000 people, soon found something wrong and found Tuoba Qinghan to report: "Princess Qinghan, the soldiers escorting the grain seem to have been poisoned, and the symptoms are very serious. I suspect that this is the Qin army's trick. They deliberately tampered with our drinking water and wanted to eat our goods."

Tuoba Qinghan turned his back to Pei Baxi, and said calmly: "This is not the poison from the Qin army."

Pei Baxi asked in confusion: "Why is your highness so sure?"

"Because this poison was ordered by me!" Tuoba Qinghan turned his head, drew the sword at his waist, and beheaded Pei Baxi with one sword.

Until his death, Pei Baxi couldn't understand why Tuoba Qinghan suddenly attacked him and poisoned the soldiers escorting the grain.

Zhao Yun felt a chill in his heart when he saw Tuoba Qinghan not far away. This woman was really decisive and ruthless.

Taking advantage of the fact that these 4,000 soldiers had no power to resist, 2,000 men under Tuoba Qinghan launched a brutal massacre.

They dug a big pit and buried these 4,000 people alive, then they changed their route with the grain team and rushed to the direction of Black Stone City.

After the Qin army massacred the city, the Tatar royal family simply turned Black Stone City into a military fortress, and no longer relocated civilians there. Instead, they sent the commander of the Tatar Lone Legion, Shan Yuting, to lead 150,000 Lone Legion soldiers to station there to guard against the Qin army.

Seeing the Black Stone City in sight, Tuoba Qinghan said to Ban Chao and Zhao Yun: "The Black Stone City is ahead. The troops stationed in this city are one of Tuoba Lingfeng's direct troops. What exactly is Li Yichen thinking? Why must he raise an army in Black Stone City? I have no foundation in this Black Stone City. Facing the Chanyu Court is tantamount to walking into a trap."

Ban Chao said calmly: "The lord has his own reasons for doing things. We just need to do what the lord tells us."

Tuoba Qinghan sneered: "You are so respectful to Li Yichen. Are you really not afraid of death?"

Ban Chao and Zhao Yun did not hesitate at all and said in unison: "To die for the lord is the supreme honor for us!"

Tuoba Qinghan was also moved. What charm does Li Yichen have that can make these top talents serve him loyally and even at the cost of their lives?

The grain transport team had just arrived at the Black Stone City when the gates suddenly opened. Shan Yuting led thousands of cavalry out of the city and surrounded Tuoba Qinghan and others.

Shan Yuting looked at Tuoba Qinghan and smiled, "Princess Qinghan went to Mozhou to buy grain. Shouldn't she have transported it directly back to the royal city? Why did she come to my Black Stone City?"

Tuoba Qinghan's heart sank, and he whispered to Ban Chao and Zhao Yun, "Be careful, this Shan Yuting is coming!

The enemy is not good, and it is likely to be a fierce battle. Li Yichen's arrangement is too unreliable. "

Tuoba Qinghan responded with a cold face: "I don't need to inform you, the commander of the Lone Legion, where I will transport the food."

Shan Yuting raised his head and laughed: "Your Highness, there is no need to be so defensive. In fact, I am a member of the Tongmenghui. This Black Stone City will be the base for your Highness to start an army in the future. The 150,000 Lone Legion, including me, will be at your disposal!"

Tuoba Qinghan was extremely shocked. After a moment, he slowly said: "I didn't expect that you, Shan Yuting, one of the commanders of the five major guards, is actually a member of the Tongmenghui. It seems that the Tongmenghui has a deep foundation in the dynasty. No wonder that after repeated cleansing, all the small minions were caught. "

Shan Yuting said calmly: "Things in this world are often beyond people's expectations. It is understandable that Your Highness Princess could not expect it. Please come to the city for a chat. The vice president of the Tongmenghui has been waiting for you in the city for a long time."

Tuoba Qinghan asked curiously: "What position do you hold in the Tongmenghui?"

"I am one of the four kings of the Tongmenghui! "

Tuoba Qinghan's mind raced. The status of the Tongmenghui from top to bottom is divided into the president, vice president, two envoys on the left and right, and the four kings. These eight people are the core, and below them are some small fish and shrimps. These eight people are very hidden. Tuoba Lingfeng has been investigating for many years and has not found their specific identity information.

I didn't expect that they were hidden in the court.

Tuoba Qinghan was even more curious about the vice president mentioned by Shan Yuting.

The group entered the city and came to the city lord's mansion. In the reception room, a thin old man in his sixties sat upright, holding a cup of hot tea in his hand, quietly sipping the fragrant tea.

Seeing several people coming in, the old man stood up, showing a kind smile, and slowly said to Tuoba Qinghan: "Qinghan girl, you didn't expect to see me here. "

Tuoba Qinghan looked at the old man in front of him and was extremely shocked. This man was the current Shaozai, Gu Fusheng, who was very powerful in the Tuoba Dynasty. In the Tuoba Dynasty, his status was only below that of the Prime Minister and Tuoba Lingfeng, and he was deeply trusted by Tuoba Lingfeng.

Originally, in the system of the Tatar Dynasty, the Prime Minister and the Prime Minister were the most powerful. Since the former Prime Minister was executed, Tuoba Lingfeng abolished the position of Prime Minister. The Shaozai could be said to be the position of the Deputy Prime Minister.

Even the Shaozai Gu Fusheng was only the Vice President of the Tongmenghui. What kind of identity was the President hidden behind the scenes? How prominent was his status?

Tuoba Qinghan was a little confused for a while. No wonder the Tongmenghui could exist in the Tatar Dynasty for decades. It turned out that there was such a deep background behind it.
