Yan Rou walked out of the main entrance of the town hall, and looked up at the bright starry sky and remained silent. After a long time, he let out a long sigh and mounted on his horse, bringing his guards back to the west side of the city.

Not long later, the news of Yan Rou returning home spread to Xianyu Fu who was drinking wine. He laughed complacently: "Haha, looks like that Yan Rou is really sensible, he really did follow my instructions!"

"Why is that?" Xianyu Yin was confused.

shook his head before sighing, "Such a character has his own pride, and is not someone that we can control. Only a hero like King Qiu Liju can subdue him!" Not only do they look down on us, they also hate us to the bones. If he were to lower his head to pay his respects, wouldn't that mean that he has ulterior motives? "

"So that's how it is!" Xianyu Yin came to a realization, and smacked his head as he sighed: "Big brother truly deserves to have read so many books, to have learnt all the twists and turns of the Han people. Damn Han people, they only know how to play tricks! Hehe, Yan Rou, how dare you look down on us? "One day, I will make him beg for mercy!"

"Don't look down on the sinuous curves of the Han Chinese!" Xianyu Fu frowned, and said seriously: "The Chinese are experts in using strategies, and are experts in crafting good weapons, but we only know how to fight. How can we be a match for them? It wasn't easy for the two of us to gain Liu Yu's trust, and sitting in our current positions, we did not disappoint King Qiu Liju's expectations. It was a pity that the King's eyes were somewhat sharp! After all, a peerless hero like King Tan Shihuai is still only a single person that my Avaricious Clan has produced so far! "

Tan Shihuai was the most powerful leader in the history of the Fresh Subordinate Tribe. More than ten years ago, he unified all the tribes and established a royal court in the Po Han Mountain. He led a strong cavalry army and marched towards the north to chase Tie Le and fought his way to the North Sea (Baikal Lake), fighting in the east so that Fu Yu did not dare take a step out of the Liaodong Peninsula. Emperor Huan was extremely afraid. He asked Tan Shihuai to bestow the title of King and send out the princesses to reconcile with his relatives, but he was rejected by Tan Shihuai. Instead, he even tried to rob a few northern counties of Great Han Dynasty. At that time, when the Han Chinese heard Tan Shihuai's name, their expressions changed. His name was enough to stop children from crying at night! If not for the fact that he died early and the internal strife that arose after his death, the Xianbei People would have died a long time ago.

His current level of freshness could not be recovered, and had long since lost the glorious days of the time when Tan Shihuai was on the throne. However, every time a strong Tribe King appeared, he would spare no effort to restore the glory of the Xianbei People, and the current King Wu Huan, Qiu Liju, was also like this. It was just that his strength was too weak, he could only cause a small commotion at the northern borders.

This time, Gongsun Zan and Liu Yu had waged a civil war in the Youzhou. Qiu Liju was overjoyed, waiting patiently for the rewards, other than taking over a few small cities at the border, it could be expected. When the news of Liu Yu Bing's defeat and capture spread, Qiu Liju was ecstatic. He personally led forty thousand elite cavalry down the Great Wall, and once Liu Yu died, he would order Xianyu Fu to instigate Liu He to attack the Ji County.

Unexpectedly, Gongsun Xu's sudden rescue of Liu Yu not only shattered Qiu Liju's plans, but also caused him to fail at stealing. The 40,000 people had wandered to the north of the Great Wall for seven or eight days, and they had lost a lot of food and money for nothing.

The's tribes were very loose, and were extremely restricted by the King of the tribe. Other than Qiu Liju's troops, the other tribes did not have any obligation to follow him to war. There were no Chinese villages north of the Great Wall, and since Qiu Liju could not plunder his own people's tribes, he could only take all the money he had lost.

The leaders of the small tribes inevitably had some rumors about them, and when heard them, he became even angrier. In the past few days, he had been looking for an opportunity to save face, but he didn't expect that the opportunity would arrive so quickly. Yesterday, a spy who had sneaked into the Ji County had sent news that the young duke Gongsun Xu would personally go to the Changli County City to discuss with Liu He.

Qiu Liju did not gather any people, for fear of provoking ridicule again, and this time, he did not need too many people to scheme against them. As a result, he only brought the main branch's five thousand cavalrymen south, and stealthily went around Xiang Ping County during the night, hiding in the dense forest near the river near the Changli County City, and waiting for Tan Mucong, who had entered the city ahead of time, to deliver the news before making his plans.

At the end of the night, other than the main gate and the few lanterns under the porch that were still lit, the rest of Changli County was pitch black.

In a two story restaurant hundreds of steps away, Xianyu Fu looked at the few soldiers walking back and forth at the entrance of the county magistrate building, and was filled with doubts. Gongsun Xu and Yan Rou had not done anything after their discussion, this was clearly a little abnormal. Had Yan Rou recklessly told him the truth? It shouldn't be possible! If Yan Rou had done that, she would definitely castrate herself in front of him. How could she possibly have returned home in anger?

"Big brother, should we send someone to test it out?" Xianyu Yin could not resist and spoke up.

Xianyu Fu nodded: "Alright. Let Lian Rou'er try it out. "

Lian Gui'er had the strongest martial power under Xianyu Fu's command. This person was able to kill a bull with a single punch and could also walk on the walls as though it was flat ground; she was an extremely good candidate for being an assassin.

Xianyu Yin walked to the head of the stairs and instructed Lian Gui who was standing there. Dressed in a night attire, Lian Rong'er jumped out of the window, ran along the street corner for a while, and quickly disappeared behind the fence on the side of the county magistrate court.

After the time it took to eat a meal, the courthouse was suddenly filled with shouts of war. Dozens of lanterns and torches were lit up at the same time, brightening up both inside and outside the courthouse. The two hundred cavalrymen stationed in the nearby houses also rushed out and surrounded the county magistrate from all directions.

Xianyu Yin was overjoyed: "Could it be that Lian Rou has succeeded?"

Before Xianyu Fu could say the word "this", he suddenly saw a black figure leap out of the wall from within.

Xianyu Yin shouted in a low voice: "It's Lian Ying'er! He seems to be injured! "

"Thief, don't go!" "Look at the arrows!" Suddenly, a loud roar came from the door, and a man wearing silver armor and a silver mask jumped out. He nocked an arrow on his bow and shot it towards the vital parts of Qi'er's back!

Weng

"Whiz!"

The long, dull sound and the sharp sound of breaking through the air were enough to show just how powerful that bow was.

This arrow was shot at the perfect time, just at the moment that Lian Rou's right foot was about to catch up with her. Under the bright splendor of the moon and stars, a black line whistled through the air and arrived instantly. It fiercely entered the left side of Lian Rou's heart! Immediately after, the arrow shot out and stuck itself into the door of a small store in front of him with a loud sound. The tip of the arrow was still shaking, and drops of blood slowly dripped down from the soft feathers.

Lian Gui'er looked at the bloody hole on her left chest in disbelief. She madly spat out a few mouthfuls of blood before collapsing to the ground dead.

"Si", Xianyu Fu and Xianyu Yin sucked in a breath of cold air at the same time. How strong was that bow? Six or seven? Or the legendary nine stones?

Xianyu Fu asked with uncertainty: "Is this person Gongsun Xu's follower, Zhao Yun?"

"That's him!" Xianyu Yin's mouth was wide opened in shock, his heart was still trembling in fear, previously, when he was provoking Gongsun Xu, Zhao Yun had stood out and wanted to take action, but luckily he was stopped by Xianyu Fu. Otherwise, even if he were to fight with such a powerful general, a few heads wouldn't be enough for him to chop off!

The silver-armored man turned around and shouted into the county magistrate, "Young Marquis, the assassins have been executed."

"Very good!" Someone from inside answered, and said: "Zi Long, bring a few people with you to the army camp to take charge, so as to prevent the soldiers from causing any sort of disturbance if they don't know the inside information. Master Liu He and I will be in charge here.

"Here!" Zhao Yun agreed and went into the gate to bring out a white horse. After waiting for seven or eight people to come out with their horses, they all ran towards the camp in the northeast part of the city.

Xianyu Yin suppressed his heartbeat, and asked softly: "Big brother, should we send people to rush into the county magistrate court?"

"No way!" Xianyu Fu firmly shook his head, muttered to himself for a while, and then said with a frown: "At this time, they are tightly guarded, and cannot act rashly. Wait and see. Send a message to Tan Mucong, tell him to be patient and not act rashly, and not act prematurely. "

"Alright, I'll have someone send the message now." Xianyu Yin hurriedly walked downstairs.

Xianyu Fu stared at the county magistrate who had gradually quietened down, frowned and muttered: "There seems to be something wrong, where exactly is the problem?"

The commotion over at the magistrate court was quite loud, and the military camp could clearly hear it. By the time Zhao Yun and his men rushed to the army camp, a large group of soldiers had already gathered at the main arena. When they saw Zhao Yun's arrival, they all turned to look at him.

Zhao Yun stopped at the entrance of the camp and shouted to the soldiers standing guard at the top of the archer tower behind the door: "I am Zhao Yun from the Academy Officer, and am here to pass on the orders of the young Marquis, quickly open the camp door!"

The camp's door quickly opened. Zhao Yun lifted the mask on his face and spurred his horse to slowly enter. Just as he entered, he was surrounded by a group of people.

"Lord Commander, what happened at the county magistrate court?"

"Lord Commander, are the young duke and Young Master Liu alright?"

"Lord Commander, is someone betraying us? "As long as the young duke says so, we'll all help him kill the traitors!"

Zhao Yun jumped down from the horse and patiently explained everything to them.
