We agreed that you, a weak strategist, would fight against three heroes by yourself?

Qin Feng took a deep breath and tried to make his tone gentler.

"You don't have to be afraid. As long as you tell the truth, I promise I won't hurt you. But if you continue to hide it, you will bear the consequences."

The woman looked at Qin Feng blankly, her eyes full of doubts and confusion, and asked softly: "What exactly do you want me to say?" Her brows furrowed slightly, as if she was thinking hard.

The corners of Qin Feng's mouth raised, revealing a sneer. There was a hint of disdain in his eyes, and he said coldly: "Don't you really know? Don't play any tricks on me!" There was undisguised disdain in his voice. .

Xi Yu returned to the inn with brisk steps, a faint smile on his face.

Ouyang Linlin had been waiting in the room for a long time. When Xi Yu came back, a trace of doubt flashed in her eyes.

Xi Yu smiled and said to Ouyang Linlin: "Tonight I will go with you and let Xiaohong go to sleep with Tuobayu."

His tone was relaxed and natural, as if this was a normal thing.

Xiaohong heard this and left the room obediently.

Ouyang Linlin looked at Xi Yu in confusion and asked: What's going on tonight? "

Her brows furrowed slightly, her eyes full of curiosity.

Xi Yu told the relevant situation.

Xi Yu smiled and comforted her: "Don't worry, I believe the secret guards will find out."

On the vast grassland, Xianbei Hong Gang ended contact with several shepherds. Several days passed by in a hurry, but everyone was still at a loss and had no clue about the mysterious treasure.

But at this moment, Hong Gang felt a strong desire to put Tuoba Tianlong to death as soon as possible.

Hong Gang sat in the camp, secretly thinking about how to complete this plan.

He knew that if he wanted to destroy Tuoba Tianlong, he must bribe General Obenming and let him be used by him.

However, what method should be used to make Oban Ming tempted?

"Obenming is a greedy person. Only money and power can impress him." Hong Gang thought in his heart. He began to think about his wealth and resources and how he could use them to bribe Oban.

Hong Gang fell into deep thought. He kept thinking about various possibilities, trying to find the safest way.

His brows were furrowed and beads of sweat appeared on his forehead.

"No matter what method I use, I must make Oban Ming use it for me." Hong Gang secretly swore in his heart.

He knew that this plan was full of risks and challenges, but he also believed that only in this way could he achieve his goal.

"Or, I can use his weakness to threaten him." A thought suddenly flashed in Hong Gang's mind. He began to recall some of Oban Ming's secrets and handles, trying to find something that could be used.

After a while, Hong Gang walked into a tent with a hurried expression.

His eyes searched the tent eagerly, and he muttered: "Shididu, where are Shididu?"

Finally, he found Shididu and quickly stepped forward and pulled him out.

The two came to a secret corner. Hong Gang stared at Shi Didu and said seriously: "Shi Didu, remember, I have been a life-saving grace to you. You promise." deny?"

Shi Didu's face was full of gratitude and awe. He nodded repeatedly and said firmly: "I will never forget it in my life, Brother Hong."

Hong Gang nodded slightly, seemingly satisfied with the answer. Then a sly smile appeared on his face and he said, "Okay, now I'll give you a chance to repay your kindness."

On the other side, Qin Feng frowned, looked at the woman in front of him seriously, and said as calmly as possible: "I originally planned to talk to you, but why don't you always say nothing?"

The woman just lowered her head and remained silent.

When Qin Feng saw this, a fierce look flashed in his eyes, and he gritted his teeth and said, "In that case, don't blame me for being rude, I will disfigure you!"

As soon as these words were spoken, the woman turned pale with fright, trembled all over, and her eyes widened in horror. She quickly took out the poppy from her sleeve and said with a trembling voice: "No, no, no, I...I I just went home to pick up some things. I...I thought that if I put these in the food, it would make the food more fragrant."

The woman thought that Qin Feng must not understand this.

Her face was full of panic and fear, with a hint of luck in her eyes.

Qin Feng stared at the woman sharply, holding the thing he took out from the woman's sleeve in his hand, and said coldly: "This is called poppy. It must be harmful to people after eating it, right?"

When the woman heard this, a look of astonishment appeared on her face. Her eyes widened and her mouth opened slightly, as if she couldn't believe that Qin Feng actually knew about this.

She quickly waved her hands and shook her head, denying in a panic: "No...no, no, how could it be harmful."

Qin Feng's face became more and more gloomy. He took a step forward, approached the woman, and said in a low and majestic voice: "Stop quibbling and hand over the things quickly!"

There was unquestionable determination in his eyes.

The woman was frightened by Qin Feng's momentum, and her body shrank back involuntarily, her face turned pale, but she still tried to deny it: "I...I really have nothing."

Qin Feng's eyes widened angrily, and he shouted louder: "You must hand over the things, don't force me to do it!" At this time, his face was full of anger and determination.

The shopkeeper in the backyard kept pacing back and forth, frowning tightly, looking towards the door from time to time, muttering: "What's going on? Why haven't I waited until she came back?" His face was filled with emotion. He looked anxious and kept rubbing his hands.

"Oh, I don't approve of her going out at night as a woman!" The shopkeeper stopped and sighed heavily, his face full of worry and dissatisfaction, "But she insists on doing this."

He scratched his hair irritably again, with a hint of nervousness in his eyes: "And regarding Poppy, outsiders must not know about it, so we can only let her act in secret like this, but this is too disturbing. Don’t worry anymore.”

After saying that, he began to pace back and forth anxiously again, the restlessness on his face becoming more and more obvious.

Time passed by minute by second, and it was getting later and later, and the shopkeeper became more and more uneasy. He stood there and murmured anxiously to himself: "I haven't come back so late, I'm afraid something might happen. "

His face became very ugly, his brows were furrowed, and his eyes were full of panic and worry.

Immediately, he gritted his teeth and said with determination: "No, I have to go outside to look for it." As he said that, he raised his feet and walked quickly outside.

Not far away, suddenly, Qin Feng appeared in the darkness like a ghost.

The shopkeeper was startled and just about to speak, Qin Feng rushed forward without saying a word, raised his hand and hit the shopkeeper hard on the back of the neck.

The shopkeeper only had time to let out a muffled groan before his vision went dark and he fell softly.

Qin Feng looked at the shopkeeper who fainted on the ground, with a cold look on his face.

In the inn room, dim candlelight flickered. Xi Yu and Ouyang Linlin were lying on the bed hugging each other, their faces still flushed with passion.

Ouyang Linlin raised her head slightly, with a charming smile on her lips, her eyes moved, and she said softly: "Hehe, it's really unique to do such a thing in a strange place."

There was a trace of confusion and satisfaction in her eyes.

Xi Yu smiled lazily, stretched out his hand to stroke Ouyang Linlin's hair, and responded with approval: "Well, I do feel the same."

His eyes were full of doting and love, and the corners of his mouth were raised, revealing a satisfied smile.

On the Xianbei side, Shi Di looked at Hong Gang with doubts on his face, frowned and asked nervously: "Brother Hong, what do you need me to do?"

Hong Gang's face was gloomy, with a fierce look in his eyes, and he lowered his voice and said, "I want you to assassinate Tuoba Tianlong!"

When Shi Didu heard this, his eyes widened, his face was full of shock, his mouth opened wide, and he almost screamed out.

When Hong Gang saw this, his expression changed, and he hurriedly reached out his hand to cover Shi Didu's mouth. His eyes widened, and he yelled in a low voice: "Shh, keep your voice down, don't make any sound!"

Shi Didu's face was full of horror and disbelief, and his body was trembling slightly.

Hong Gang looked at Shi Didu, took a deep breath, and said frankly: "Shi Didu, to be honest, I hope Tuoba Tianlong dies, and I want to find an opportunity to become the leader myself."

Shidi listened, with a conflicted expression on his face, his brows furrowed, and his eyes showing struggle and hesitation. He lowered his head and was silent for a moment, then raised his head and looked at Hong Gang, and said slowly: "Brother Hong, I... I don't want to do this."

When Hong Gang heard this, his face became a little ugly. He stared at Shi Didu closely, gritted his teeth and said, "Shi Didu, don't forget, I am your benefactor. If it weren't for me, you would have been there long ago. died."

A trace of pain and guilt flashed across Shi Didu's face. He lowered his head and murmured: "I know, Brother Hong, I will never forget your kindness. But..."

Hong Gang interrupted him and said coldly: "There is no but, you have to help me. This is your chance to repay me."

Shidi fell into silence, and his heart was full of contradictions and struggles.

On the one hand, he was grateful to Hong Gang for saving his life and wanted to repay him; on the other hand, he was unwilling to do anything that would hurt others.

After a while, Shidi gritted his teeth, as if he had made up his mind, and said to Hong Gang: "Okay, Brother Hong, I promise you."

Hong Gang nodded with satisfaction, patted Shi Didu on the shoulder and said, "Good brother, I know you won't let me down. Don't worry, I will take good care of your family if you fail. "

Shi Di heard this, with a painful expression on his face. He shook his head and said, "Brother Hong, if I fail, it will be my own behavior and has nothing to do with you. I will not confess you."

Hong Gang looked at Shi Didu, a trace of emotion flashed in his eyes, and he said: "Shi Didu, you are a person who values ​​​​love and righteousness. I have never made you a friend. But you must also be careful, Tuoba Tianlong is not like that Easy to deal with.”

Shi Didu nodded and said, "I know, Brother Hong. I will be careful." There was a firm expression on his face, and determination shone in his eyes.

After listening to Shi Didu's words, Hong Gang nodded and said, "Well, you're right, you can't rush this matter. You can plan it carefully and find a suitable opportunity before taking action."

Shi Di responded and said, "Okay, Brother Hong, I understand."

Hong Gang patted Shi Didu on the shoulder and said, "Then go back and rest quickly. Only by recuperating your energy can you do things better."

Shi Di nodded and said, "Okay, Brother Hong, you should also rest early."

Hong Gang looked at Shi Didu's back as he left, and secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

He knew that Shi Didu was a reliable person and would be able to handle this matter.

He turned around and returned to his residence, lying on the bed, but he couldn't fall asleep.

He thought about his plan and how to become the leader of the Xianbei.

He knew that this was a dangerous road, but he had no way out.

He must seize this opportunity to realize his ambition.

In the inn, Xiaohong and Tuoba Yu lay on a bed. Tuoba Yu gently hugged Xiaohong, with a hint of shyness and discomfort on Xiaohong's face.

Tuoba Yu looked at Xiaohong and asked gently: "Xiaohong, can you tell me how Ouyang Linlin knew Xiyu? I want to know the story between them."

Xiaohong hesitated for a moment, but nodded and said: "Okay, since you want to know, I'll tell you."

So Xiaohong began to tell the story of how Ouyang Linlin and Xiyu met.

Then, Xiaohong gently asked: "Mrs. Tuoba, can you tell me about the life in Xianbei? I am very interested in it."

Tuoba Yu smiled and said: "Of course, Xiaohong. The life in Xianbei is a little different from here. The people there mainly make a living by nomadism. They like riding horses, archery, and live a free life."

Xiaohong listened, her eyes flashing with curiosity, and asked: "Then are their customs different from ours?"

Tuoba Yu thought for a while and said: "Well, the people in Xianbei are more generous and enthusiastic. They like to eat meat and drink wine. Moreover, their clothes are also very special. Color, men usually wear long robes, and women wear bright skirts. "

Xiao Hong nodded and said, "It sounds interesting. How are you living in Xianbei?"

Tuoba Yu showed a faint smile on his face and said, "I live well in Xianbei. I learned to ride a horse, shoot arrows, and made some good friends."

"Mrs. Tuoba, you are amazing. I think you are like a hero, bravely facing the challenges of life."

"Xiao Hong, you flatter me. In fact, I also have many shortcomings, but I will try to improve. "

But soon, Tuoba Yu's expression became a little sad, and she thought of her brother Tuoba Lu.

Xiao Hong noticed his change and asked her with concern.

"Mrs. Tuoba, what's wrong with you? Did you remember something unhappy?"

Tuoba Yu forced a smile and shook his head.

"Xiao Hong, I just suddenly thought of my brother Tuoba Lu. He is no longer here..."

At this point, her voice was a little choked, and a trace of pain flashed in her eyes.

"Mrs. Tuoba, I know you are very sad. Your brother must also hope that you can live a good life. Don't be too sad, and rest quickly."

"Thank you, Xiaohong. You are right, I can't be immersed in sadness all the time. I will live a good life and let my brother rest in peace."

Ouyang Linlin lay on Xiyu's chest, and her fingers gently drew circles on his chest.

She saw that Xiyu suddenly looked worried, so she raised her head and asked with concern: "Husband, what's wrong with you? Why are you so worried all of a sudden?"

Xiyu sighed softly and said, "Linlin, I am worried about my brother Xi Zhicai's marriage."

Ouyang Linlin was stunned, and then remembered Liu Xiaohong's matter.

"Liu Xiaohong has no feelings for my brother, and even if she knows his identity, she will not like him." Xiyu smiled bitterly.

"You said that Liu Xiaohong is really a very individual woman. Husband, don't worry too much, I believe that uncle will definitely find someone who is destined to be with you."

Early the next morning, the sun poured in through the window, illuminating the entire Qingfeng Inn.

A waiter yawned and started a new day listlessly.

He frowned and said to the other guys anxiously: "Everyone, I have an urgent matter and need to ask the shopkeeper for leave."

The guys nodded and watched the waiter leave in a hurry.

The waiter walked around the inn and muttered: "Where is the shopkeeper?" There was a hint of doubt in his eyes.

Then, he walked quickly to the backyard and looked around, hoping to see the shopkeeper.

However, the backyard was also empty, and even the woman was nowhere to be seen.

The waiter scratched his head, frowned more tightly, and said to himself: "It's really strange. Where are the people in the broad daylight?"

He sighed helplessly, shrugged his shoulders, and had to bite the bullet and return to the lobby of the inn.

A group of waiters gathered around and asked curiously: "What's going on? Didn't you ask for leave?"

The waiter scratched his head and replied helplessly: "I have searched the inn inside and out, but I can't see the owner. There is no way, we have to bite the bullet and continue to work!" He showed a bitter smile on his face.

One of the waiters heard it, his eyes lit up, and said with a smile: "Hey, the owner is not here, so can't we be lazy today?"

Another waiter also nodded in agreement, with an excited look on his face.

"Yes, yes, take the opportunity to rest, anyway, no one will care about us."

The waiter looked at them, shook his head helplessly, sighed and said: "You guys just know how to be lazy. If the owner suddenly comes back, let's see how you will explain it."

However, the guys didn't care. They laughed and started to think about how to spend this relaxing day.

Xiyu got up, and the secret guard Qin Feng came to him.

"What's going on?" Xiyu asked.

"Prime Minister, I put the shopkeeper and the woman in a small stone house behind the inn." (End of this chapter)
