Gongsun Zan's armor had been cleaned to the point that it could be seen through, his travel face was filled with majesty and killing intent, when his right hand held onto the blade hilt, he walked over like a tiger, releasing a burst of killing intent. However, when he walked together with Gongsun Zan, he was more like a low-level general who had charged into battle, and in terms of bearing, he was completely outclassed by Gongsun Zan.

The last time he attacked and was forced away by Gongsun Zan, he had only seen him from afar. Now that he was face to face with him, he could truly feel the heavy might and murderous intent from the other party's body! He had not seen such a powerful aura for many years. In the past, he had often seen it on his father, Tan Shihuai, but when facing Tan Shihuai, he had only felt fear of being punished.

Gongsun Zan also laughed, in an instant the heavy killing intent around him vanished like smoke into thin air, the care and greetings the father and son gave to each other was all contained within the laughter. However, when Gongsun Zan looked at He Lian, his face had once again recovered its stern look. His eyes were extremely cold, as if he was looking at a sheep or cow that was waiting to be slaughtered.

and's gaze made Lian Lian tremble with fear, as she hurriedly bowed, and spoke with an extremely courteous tone: "This king greets Marquis Jin! After all these years, the Marquis Jin has become even more majestic than in the past.

He Lian was originally one head shorter than Gongsun Zan, and now, he had a bent over and made obeisance. In comparison, Gongsun Zan was like a king with power and authority, while He Lian seemed more like a slave-looking, flattering, adulterer.

Gongsun Xu and Single Meridian laughed indifferently. Mo Bingmei's eyes were filled with contempt as he turned his head to look at the sunset.

The imperial guards turned their heads sadly. With the King being so weak in front of the Xianbei People's Heaven's Sacrifice Hall, what he had lost was not only his own face!

Er Yu sighed. Although she had never treated herself as a Xianbei People from the moment she had become sensible, she was still unhappy when she thought about how King Tan Shihuai had shocked the world with his great reputation back then.

Gongsun Zan looked at He Lian bowing to himself, but did not say a single word of courtesy. He only watched quietly, and only when a drop of perspiration fell on He Lian's forehead did he step forward to help He Lian up. Gongsun Zan said with a smile, "Your Majesty, there is no need to be so courteous, please get up quickly."

With a smile, he continued, "The fame of the Marquis Jin shook the world. I, Little Wang, am filled with admiration, but unfortunately, I wasn't able to interview you last time. Today, I can finally listen to your teachings in person.

Since he already had no face left, and Lian Lian just simply lowered his stance a little, hoping that Gongsun Zan would take account of him bowing and groveling like this, and not make any excessive requests later.

"The King is too polite!" Being praised like this by He Lian, Gongsun Zan could not help but feel a little proud, the smile on his face became a little more humble.

He looked at the battlefield in front of him, where the bones were like mountains, the people of the Yuwen tribe were in the middle of surrendering to the Youzhou Army, and his heart ached again. He forced a smile and asked: "This is not the place to talk, how about Master Hou follow me to the palace?"

"There's no rush." Gongsun Zan raised his head, took a look at the Heaven's Sacrifice Hall, and sighed: "I have long heard of King Tan Shihuai's mighty name, but unfortunately, I have never met him before.

He Lian's face turned serious as he quickly extended a hand, "The Marquis, please!" With that, he personally walked in front to lead the way for Gongsun Zan, and his guards all opened a path for him.

"Let's go burn incense for King Tan Shihuai together." Gongsun Zan turned around and invited Dan Zheng. When he arrived at Gongsun Xu's side, he smiled at him and said: "Zi Min, why don't you follow and pay your respects as well."

agreed happily and followed Gongsun Zan into the hall.

"Hey!" Mo Bingmei pulled down his mask, looked at Er Yu and asked: "I also want to go take a look, do you want to go in?"

Er Yu shook her head. She had entered the palace several times and was not interested in it.

Mo Bingmei did not force him, as he kept his mask back in his sleeves and quickly walked towards the main hall.

The guards of the company looked at each other in dismay, but no one came forward to stop him. If the King didn't say anything, then why would they look for trouble?

Er Yu watched Mo Bingmei enter the great hall with a complicated expression. He spoke a few sentences in a low voice to Gongsun Yi before quickly bringing him down the stairs.

Gongsun Zan stood in front of Tan Shihuai's statue and did not move for a long time, thinking back to his great achievements back then, and how he could indeed be considered a peerless hero. If this person had not died early, how could the Xianbei People have fallen to such a state? Although Gongsun Zan had some admiration towards Tan Shihuai, he did not have any good feelings towards him. The reason he offered the incense was mainly to appease and comfort him, at the same time, he also wanted to see what Tan Shihuai looked like. After all, the pictures of Tan Shihuai drawn by the Han people were all biased.

"Master Hou, after you!" He Lian personally lit three sticks of incense and offered them to Gongsun Zan.

Gongsun Zan thanked him, and placed the incense in the incense burner to pay his respects. He thought to himself, 'If you do not die, I will chop off your head myself!'

Just a short while later, Gongsun Xu and Gongsun Xu also started to burn. Mo Bingmei who was behind them could only look at the sculpture with appreciation, with no intention of burning the incense in his eyes. He Lian was furious, but when he thought that the lady might be Gongsun Xu's woman, he could only suppress his anger.

As soon as the three of them finished burning incense, Ol 'Six reported loudly from outside the hall, "Reporting to the Marquis, Kurna from the Wuhuan of Liaodong is here. He captured Pu Tou alive and even killed him!"

He Lian was extremely shocked and his heart was immediately filled with suspicions, but when he saw the indifferent smile on Gongsun Xu's face, he suddenly realised, it was said that after the battle of Liucheng, Kurna had wholeheartedly pledged his allegiance to Gongsun Xu, and now that the rumours seemed to be true, Kurna had clearly come under Gongsun Xu's orders to intercept Pu Tou's reinforcements! After coming to this conclusion, cold sweat broke out all over his body. If not for the arrival of Gongsun Zan and his great army, it would be hard to predict who would be the victor today!

"Let's go take a look." Hearing that, Gongsun Zan's face showed joy, and he walked out of the hall with big strides.

"That's good news!" With a simple laugh, he followed Gongsun Zan out of the great hall.

Gongsun Xu looked at He Lian who had a stupefied expression, and asked softly: "Great King, how do you want to deal with Pu Tou?"

"How?" He Lian quickly came back to his senses and said fiercely, "This kind of rebellion is obviously to behead and show off to the masses!"

"As Your Majesty says!" Gongsun Xu nodded his head: "I will persuade my father to give Pu Tou to my king, but Kurna came from afar to help, I'm afraid my king has to give him some money."

No matter how he dealt with Pu Tou, it didn't matter to him. With Su Li in his hands, he could easily do anything in the future.

"This …" He Lian was suddenly a little reluctant to part when he heard that he was going to pay. He gritted his teeth and said, "What does General Zimin think about this duke giving thirty thousand credits to Kurna?"

"Thirty thousand. That's all." Gongsun Xu did not insist on asking for more, the knife had long been sharpened fast, how could he not get ruthlessly killed? These thirty thousand slots were just an appetizer.

"This king will go out and see Pu Tou." He Lian flicked his sleeve and impatiently walked out.

Gongsun Xu smiled at Mo Bingmei, exchanged a few simple words of greetings and walked out of the hall.

Pu Tou was forced to kneel on the ground, the hat on his head had already disappeared, more than half of his hair had been cut off, his left foot's boot had also disappeared, and his entire body was covered with blood stains and wounds.

Bu Dugen's head was placed beside Pu Tou. Both of his eyes were half-closed, and the shock on his face right before death was still there.

Gongsun Zan supported Kurna, who had just finished saluting himself, and laughed: "Greedy King, tell me about the situation of your side of the battle."

"Here!" Kurna promised and with a few words, he told the story of how the Pu Tou brothers were captured and killed.

It turned out that the moment Pu Tou and his men entered Kebineng's camp, they were met with Kurna's fierce attacks. Pu Tou had been beaten down on the spot and became his captive, his subordinates quickly crumbled, and other than the three to four thousand people who took advantage of the chaos to escape, the rest were either killed or became captives.

After Kurna took care of Pu Tou's men, only about ten thousand people remained to listen to Guo Jia's commands to take care of the prisoners. He brought the other soldiers and horses and rushed up the mountain, just in time to run into Bu Dugen and his handicapped veterans. After the battle, eighty percent of the youths of the Xushan Tribe had died. Even if they did not send any troops to attack Bu Dugen, they would very quickly be swallowed by the other small tribes.

"Greedy King has fought well this time!" After Gongsun Zan heard this, he patted Kurna's shoulders in approval.

Kurna grinned and laughed: "Thank you for your praise, Master Hou. This is all because of Little Marquis's planning and planning, and this is just the perfect timing."

Gongsun Xu smiled and said a few humble words, then pointed at Pu Tou and said: "Father, this man is the direct descendant of King Tan Shihuai, yet he is plotting against him.

Gongsun Zan casually nodded his head: "For such a small matter, you can decide for yourself."

"Thank you, Marquis Jin! Thank you, General Zimin! " He Lian hurriedly cupped his hands together and thanked him as he shouted, "Men, pull this traitor down and behead him in public one day!"

Immediately, a few guards rushed forward and dragged the silent Pu Tou away.

A trace of happiness flashed through He Lian's heart as he cupped his hands and invited them once again. "Marquis Jin, General Zimin, everyone, please follow me to the palace. This king will set up a feast to entertain all of you."

Gongsun Zan cupped his hands: "Sorry to bother you so much, my King."

"Marquis Jin, please!"

"Your Majesty, please!"

Gongsun Xu looked left and right, but he couldn't see Er Yu. Gongsun Yi hurriedly moved closer to him and quietly reported that Er Yu had gone to fetch his mother.

As they were walking up the stairs, Gongsun Xu finally had a chance to speak to Gongsun Zan: "Father should have been here since a long time ago. On the way, did you encounter any accidents?"

Gongsun Zan said indifferently: "I met a group of barbarians from the Tuoba Tribe and killed more than ten thousand of them."

Tuoba Tribe was much stronger than the Yuwen tribe. He did not expect Kebineng to find Tuoba Liwei and Ge Wutu at the same time.

He Lian once again cupped his hands towards Gongsun Zan and expressed his gratitude, "This little king will never forget this kindness of Marquis Jin, I will definitely repay you handsomely later!"

"We can discuss such a small matter between the King and his subjects." Gongsun Zan waved his hands and walked up the stairs.

He Lian frowned slightly as a bad omen suddenly appeared in his heart. Gongsun Xu was shameless, who knew how many things he would be extorted if he were to discuss about the reward with him?

Perhaps because he felt the conflict in He Lian's heart, Gongsun Xu grinned, revealing a few pure white teeth, he politely said to He Lian: "Great King, let's walk and talk!"

He Lian sighed to himself as he walked and chatted with Gongsun Xu unwillingly. The short ninety-nine steps and the angry, unwilling shouts resounded five or six times.
