"Sister Xue, you're awesome!" Tuoba Yu's eyes shone as she watched Yue Luoxue bow and shoot. A wild rabbit had arrived.
Riding horses had always been something that Tuoba Yu had yearned for, and now that she was riding a horse, in order to take care of her body, the horse could only walk leisurely. Tuoba Yu was angry: "Brother, are you faster too, you can't catch up to Sister Xue!"
"Don't worry, she's just going to pick up the prey. I'll roast some meat for you later." Tuoba Hong dotingly looked at his little sister.
Tuoba Yu's blue eyes became brighter, and she shouted towards Yue Luoxue who was riding back: "Sister Xue, hunt a few more, brother wants to roast more meat!"
Yue Luoxue waved the bow in her hand to show that she understood. She turned and looked at her brother.
"Brother, Sister Xue is so kind, you must definitely do your best to catch up and be my sister-in-law!" Tuoba Yu said as she clenched her fists and cheered Tuoba Hong on.
Tuoba Hong said with a straight face, "Isn't this still sister-in-law? I think you don't even want your big brother."
"Hehe, I like Sister Xue." Tuoba Yu giggled. She liked Yue Luoxue and envied him as well.
Tuoba Hong looked at Yue Luoxue and said softly, "Rest assured, I will definitely try my best to take her away to be your sister-in-law!"
"Look, I've hunted a wild goat!" Yue Luoxue spurred her horse over, looking rather valiant.
Tuoba Yu quickly urged: "Brother, the rest is up to you. I want to eat barbecue!"
The three of them found a place with water and Tuoba Hong was in charge of handling the prey. Yue Luoxue inspected Tuoba Yu's body and found nothing wrong with him.
"The meat your brother roasted is delicious, so you can't eat too much later. It's hard to digest after eating."
"Hmph, brother is too biased. Sister Xue has already eaten brother's roast meat, but I haven't!" Tuoba Yu pouted, her face filled with unhappiness.
Yue Luoxue laughed, "Alright, let your brother roast more for you in the future."
Tuoba Yu's bright eyes looked at Yue Luoxue: "Big Sister Xue, then in the future, can you come and see me with big brother?"
"Of course you can." Yue Luoxue agreed, but in her heart she thought, this girl's eyes was too hard to refuse, next time I will see if it's possible.
Seeing that Tuoba Hong had already lit a fire and was about to put his meat on a rack, a bird cry sounded in the sky, and it was only when the eagle soared across the sky and landed on Tuoba Hong's arm that it stopped.
Tuoba Hong opened the slip of paper on the eagle's leg, his expression slightly changed as he looked at Tuoba Yu apologetically: "Yu'er, I can't roast meat for you today, how about you make up for it next time?"
Yue Luoxue knew that something had happened, so she smiled and said: "If you have anything to do, go and busy yourself, I'll roast some meat for Yu'er!" She approached Tuoba Hong and asked softly, "What happened?"
"General Bhaer has been captured." Tuoba Hong also lowered his voice.
Yue Luoxue frowned slightly. The Baltic Family was the Battle King's Palace's most loyal subordinate, so it seemed that the North Qi Emperor had still made his move. He gave him a comforting look, "You can go back first, don't fall for Liu Chengfeng's trick, I'll send Yu'er back."
Tuoba Hong could only nod his head and promise his that he would bring her his favorite pastries next time before he left.
Tuoba Yu's eyes drooped as she stared at the withered yellow grass on the ground, and suddenly asked. "Sister Xue, is there something you're hiding from me?"
Yue Luoxue smiled lightly, and said in a serious tone: "Yu'er, I know you are a sensible girl, and I don't want to lie to you. It is true that we are hiding things from you, but you must know that your mother and brother have done so for your own good."
"I know. Actually, ever since I woke up, I had a feeling that I wasn't at the manor." Tuoba Yu said in a slightly lonely manner, "But I can tell that mother is much happier now, that's why I pretended that I didn't know anything."
Looking at Tuoba Yu's somewhat pale face, Yue Luoxue knew that this girl's body was weak, even more so than ordinary people. Her thoughts were clear as well, and she reached out to pull Tuoba Yu's hand. "It's good that you understand."
"Yes!" Tuoba Yu raised her eyes and smiled at Yue Luoxue, "Let's go back, next time I want you and big brother to roast meat for me!"
"Alright, I promise you!" Yue Luoxue nodded and brought Tuoba Yu back to the village before riding her horse away. She did not know what changes had occurred in the North Qi.
"Hey, have you heard that General Baltic is actually a traitor?!"
"Who said it? General Baltic is the one who protects the North Qi together with our Guardian God Elder. How could he be a traitor!"
"It's true! Isn't my son in the army? I heard that he found evidence of General Baltic communicating with the enemy. He was captured during the contact!"
"Really?" General Baltic is the Battle King's man, how can the Battle King's man be a traitor to the enemy! "
"That's hard to say. The so called 'knowing a person's face but not his heart'. Who knows if the Battle King has any other thoughts …"
When Yue Luoxue had just entered Yan Yang City, she had heard the sounds of these discussions. Back then in the imperial study at the corner, the North Qi Emperor had originally wanted to use General Ba's betrayal to drag the Battle King's Palace in. Tuoba Hong had also been on guard, but he did not expect that this conspiracy would actually change.
Although the Battle King Manor did not appear to be implicated on the surface, in reality, this move was even more ingenious. The Baltic clan and the Battle King Manor were on good terms and were loyal, so they might have taken all the crimes.
Then, when the news of the 'War King's Mansion conspiring against the usurper and colluding with the enemy to sell out the country' would be leaked, it wouldn't cause too much of a backlash!
After avoiding informants, Yue Luoxue arrived at the base's stronghold. Liu Ming quickly came over to welcome him: "General Baltic's incident, the Left Pavilion Elder in the middle of the court was implicated. The Left Pavilion Elder was once the sworn brother of the previous Battle-King."
Yue Luoxue frowned: "What's the situation in the Battle King's Manor now?"
"It's fine for now, but officials have requested to thoroughly investigate the War King's Mansion. The evidence found was that General Ba'al had colluded with the enemy ten years ago. At that time, the old Battle-King was still at the frontline, and later on, the current Battle-King was also at the frontline."
"How did the Emperor react?"
"The emperor refuted this official in the imperial court and even said that the War King's Mansion was loyal for generations. He absolutely believed that the Battle King's Mansion would not do such a thing. Now, news of this has gradually spread and there were praises for the emperor."
"It really is a high level technique!" Yue Luoxue laughed coldly, the North Qi Emperor would never have thought of using such a method, the so called attacking the city, attacking the heart, this plan was to occupy the hearts of the people first.
If his guess was not wrong, it should be Liu Chengfeng's doing.
Seeing Yue Luoxue's sneer, not saying a word, Liu Ming lowered her head and said: "What do we do now?"
The others also looked at Yue Luoxue. Even though they hadn't been together for a long time, unknowingly, they had already gotten used to Yue Luoxue's leadership.
Yue Luoxue pondered for a moment, what Liu Chengfeng was playing at was psychological warfare, if the Battle King Manor had made a move first, it would be a good opportunity for them to drag the water down, and prove the crime of colluding with them. If they were just watching coldly from the side, then they would be too inhumane, in short, in attacking the heart, Liu Chengfeng had done well.
"Manager Zhang, find some elites to go to the army and collect information. They are not for General Baltic to clear the charges, but the evidence of General Baltic's crimes!" After pondering for a moment, Yue Luoxue suddenly spoke up.
The few of them were stunned, Liu Ming was the first to react. "If we look for evidence to justify the general, it will definitely attract others' attention. If we do the opposite, it might have an unexpected effect!"
Yue Luoxue nodded her head: "As for the rest, just follow your previous plans. Manager Sun, train faster, and double the amount every day!"
"Yes sir!" This time, Manager Sun didn't object. Now that those people had gotten some benefits from the training, even if he didn't say anything, there were still people who took the initiative to increase the amount of training.
Yue Luoxue had to settle things here before she returned to the Duke Palaces. Since Tuoba Hong still hadn't returned, and she couldn't settle these issues well, it was easy for him to be at a disadvantage.
"Mistress!" "You're finally back!" The moment he pushed open the door, Qing Huan immediately stuck to him.
Yue Luoxue nodded, and closed the door before asking: "What news do you have?"
Qing Huan smiled complacently. She stretched out her hand and took out a small rolled up slip of paper from the deep "ravine" on her rose-colored dress. "Mistress, I finally got this after much difficulty. You have to reward me well."
Yue Luoxue opened his eyes, and a hint of joy flashed past his eyes. Qing Huan's ability to do things was indeed reliable, and with this, it was enough for Tuoba Hong to make a comeback.
"Any kind of reward?" Qing Huan leaned towards Yue Luoxue in an ambiguous manner.
Yue Luoxue was in an excellent mood as she reached out to pat her face. "Alright, after this period of time has passed, I'll have you go and help Qingshuang."
"Tsk, what is this called a reward? It's clearly a punishment. You clearly know that I like master, but you still let me go." Qing Huan rolled her eyes and sat to the side with her alluring figure.
Yue Luoxue did not care about her protest, and laughed: "Who doesn't know that you love your sister the most? If you can help her in the past, you can train more talented people like you."
Now that the situation was getting more complicated, Yue Luoxue also felt that she did not have enough manpower. She pondered if she need to find a few more places to train her talents, so she placed great importance on the first battlefield.
When Tuoba Hong returned, it was already very late, but he still came to find Yue Luoxue. He had thought of many ways to not be able to see General Baltic, and even General Baltic's family was completely isolated.
"Tuoba Hong, what do you plan to do?" Yue Luoxue looked at Tuoba Hong very seriously.
Tuoba Hong rubbed his forehead, and said solemnly: "I will not stand idly by the side and watch this matter."
Yue Luoxue nodded her head, this Tuoba Hong was the Tuoba Hong that she knew and also the Tuoba Hong that she wanted to help: "Then go and take care of it yourself, we will also do so in broad daylight. Tomorrow morning, we will ask the Emperor to take care of the case of General Zha Ba!"
Tuoba Hong was startled, then he understood Yue Luoxue's thought, the other party attacked their hearts, why couldn't they do the same!
