My younger brother Lü Fengxian

Chapter 230 Weird

"My younger brother Toto greets Brother Lu!"

Toto, the upstart Xianbei from the west, bowed down as soon as he saw Lu Yi.

Firstly, his current position as clan leader was almost entirely due to Lu Yi handing Hu Tuo's body over to him.

Secondly, Tuotu's success and failure are all due to Lü Yi. If Lü Yi leaks the news, he will expose his cooperation with the Han people to Budugen and even Fuluo Hanyi (the previous data was checked incorrectly. Budugen's brother should be called Fuluo Hanyi, missing the character Fu. The previous one will not be changed. There are some typos. Everyone knows that they will be corrected in the future. I don't know what the situation is. If I change it, I will be banned. It's too dangerous.)
The more popular he is now, the more miserable he will be after being exposed.

Traitors are the most hated people in any organization. Once their identities are exposed, their ending is usually extremely miserable.

As for the third one.

The Hu woman whom Toto loved and who had always been controlled by Lu Yi was now dispensable.

Originally, Toto was just a horse slave, at the bottom of the Xianbei society.

The most beautiful woman you can get in touch with is your childhood sweetheart.

Therefore, even though this woman was actually a vain, heartless and ungrateful woman, he still couldn't forget her and even wanted to kill his own clan leader for her.

But ever since Toto inherited everything from Huto and became the chief of the new Toto tribe, and his population was replenished by Tan Shihuai as a blessing in disguise, his status and identity were instantly raised countless times.

He climbed to a higher position and saw many sceneries he had never seen before. He realized that it was no longer important for him to think that she was just a heartless woman who betrayed her oath, even if she was slightly pretty.

Therefore, Toto was naturally grateful and afraid of Lu Yi, even a little scared. So when he received the message from Lu Yi that he wanted to meet him, he did not dare to be late even if it meant some risks.

"Brother Tuotu, I have already said it before. We are brothers. Why should we be so polite?"

Although Lu Yi knew Toto's weak spot, he still treated him with a friendly face.

For a spy, the mental pressure is enormous, and the daily environment around him is like a den of wolves and tigers, and he will be exposed if he is not careful.

Therefore, Lu Yi did not overly stimulate Toto, lest he do something that was not in his best interest due to a mental breakdown.

"Brother Lu is right. I've made note of it!" Toto didn't dare to be supported by Lu Yi himself, and immediately climbed up. However, in order to please Lu Yi, he kept his body half-bent and didn't dare to straighten up in front of Lu Yi.

"The main reason I asked you to come here this time is to confirm the extent of Tan Shihuai's injuries."

"My Han army spies brought back news. Is it true that Tan Shihuai fell off his horse?"

Faced with a powerful enemy, Lu Yi did not waste any words and went straight to the point.

When Toto saw Lu Yi asking such a confidential question right away, his eyes flickered.

"It's true."

"Oh? How is Tan Shihuai's injury? Can he still lead the troops?"

Upon hearing this, Lu Yi hurriedly asked.

"This matter is not something that ordinary people can know, but it just so happens that I happen to be one of the people who know this matter."

Seeing Lu Yi's anxious expression, Toto stopped and looked at him cunningly.

"Oh? What do you mean, brother Toto?"

Upon seeing this, Lu Yi immediately realized that Tuoto had become restless after being the tribe leader for a few days, and thought to himself that the Hu people were indeed jackals who were difficult to trust.

"Brother Lu, you are able to hand over Hu Tuo's body to me. I am very grateful. It is not wrong to tell Brother Lu about this matter, but Brother Lu cannot just rely on this matter to ask me to repay you, right?"

"Hmm? Don't you want to see your woman again, brother Toto?" Lu Yi said threateningly.

"Haha... She's just a fallen woman. If Brother Lu likes her, he can enjoy her by himself."

Toto tore off his disguise, revealing his long-buried arrogance, like a villain who has succeeded.

"Haha, this girl is my childhood sweetheart. Besides, a friend's wife should not be bullied. How dare I do this?"

Seeing this, Lu Yi also smiled.

"Since Brother Toto doesn't want her anymore, I will return her to you. But the battle is dangerous right now and the roads are bumpy. If I accidentally send her to the wrong place, to Furohanyi or Budugen's camp, I'm afraid Brother Toto won't be able to explain himself!"

Lu Yi had already made a plan for Toto's possible betrayal. Hu Toto's woman happened to be an eyewitness to the whole incident. Since he couldn't attract Toto, he would use her to threaten him.

Sure enough, Toto's face suddenly changed when he heard this.

"Are you threatening me?"

"So what?"

Lu Yi's smile remained unchanged.

"Since Brother Tuotu wants to break the oath we made in the past, then I, Lu, can only resort to this last resort!"

"You...!" Toto was speechless.

The atmosphere suddenly became quiet.

"I can tell you the information about Tan Shihuai, but as a deal, you must return that woman to me immediately!"

After a long time, Toto, whose psychological defenses collapsed first, gave in and spoke first.

"I can return the woman to you, but don't forget that everything you have now is given by me, so I have to put forward a condition."

Lu Yi stared at Toto.

"What conditions?" Toto asked nervously.

"Help me do three things!"

Lu Yi smiled again and said, "Three small things in exchange for your position as the clan leader, I think you won't refuse, right, brother Toto?"

After hearing this, Toto pondered for a long time.

"How do I know you won't lie to me? Three times three?"

"rest assured……"

Lu Yi also stepped forward and patted Toto's shoulder casually.

"The Han people are different from the Hu people. The Han people are always trustworthy, and I, Lu Yi, never break my promises!"

"..."

"Tan Shihuai was not simply injured, he was already seriously injured and died. Budugen kept the death a secret. If he hadn't taken me in as his confidant out of consideration for my loyalty, I would not have known this secret."

"Budugen has already begun to secretly prepare for retreat... If you want to do anything, you'd better hurry up!"

Toto stared into Lu Yi's eyes, hesitated for a long time, and finally spoke.

"died……?"

When Lu Yi heard this, he was happy at first, but then he felt a little disappointed.

Tan Shihuai was the grassland overlord of the Gaia Hu people in this era. It was a pity that Lu Yi was unable to fight against such a hero.

"If the Han army attacks, how can Brother Tuotu protect himself?"

Lu Yi suddenly asked, Toto, who was originally an idle chess piece, now holds a high position and is a great success. It brings many benefits to Lu Yi, so naturally he has to find a way to delay his demise.

If a fight breaks out, no one will be able to take care of him.

"Haha, Brother Lu, don't worry. Budugen is afraid that his retreat will be in jeopardy, so he has ordered me and several clan leaders under his command to guard the Great Wall from tomorrow to secure his retreat. Naturally, my life is safe."

"I have already completed one thing for Brother Lu, and there are two more..."

Toto chuckled with no clear meaning and left in a hurry.

He did not have Budugen's warrant this time, so he acted on his own initiative and took a big risk.

"He is a great man."

Lu Yi looked at Toto's departing back and realized that he had really underestimated him.

"There are so many talented people in the world. Even Hu Er alone has such courage and adaptability. From now on, we should not underestimate the heroes of the world just because we are a time traveler."

Lu Yi sighed silently and hurriedly left this hidden place. Tan Shihuai's death before he could accomplish his mission was extremely bad news for the Xianbei people.

As a legendary figure who unified the Xianbei, he is an absolute hero to the Xianbei people.

But he is a hero and I am a bandit.

To the Han people, this man led the people to invade Han territory. To the countless innocent lives in Hebei who were brutally tortured by the Xianbei people, he was an evil ghost from hell.

Now, the death of this evil ghost is great news for Lu Yi.

He must convey this explosive news to Lu Zhi immediately.

……

"Are you saying that Tan Shihuai is dead?"

An hour later, Lu Zhi, who was woken up, did not show any anger. Instead, he looked at Lu Yi in shock.

"That's right. By chance, I also had a capable spy in Xianbei. This news was reported to me by that spy."

Lu Yi explained to Lu Zhi with a serious look on his face.

"This matter is of great importance. Is the source of the intelligence reliable?"

Lu Zhi looked at Lu Yi, his eyes flickering with brilliance.

If Lu Yi's news is true, then the chance of victory he has been waiting for has come!
"It's 90% reliable!"

Even if Lu Yi was 100% sure, he would not say anything final.

He just passed this information to Lu Zhi. Even if Toto lied to him, in the end it was just that the information was wrong, which was not a serious crime.

After all, the decision-making power lies with Lu Zhi, not Lu Yi.

But if it comes to death, then of course you have to take responsibility.

"Ninety percent of it is already quite large. You wait here. I will call Zhu Jun and Huangfu Song first, and you can talk to them in person again."

This matter was of great importance, and Lu Zhi was only one of the three generals, so he also needed to discuss it with Zhu Jun and Huangfu Song, and the three of them had to make the final decision together.

……

"Zi Gan, you called me in the middle of the night, is there something important you want to discuss?"

The curtain of Lu Zhi's central military tent was lifted, and two tall and burly men in general's uniforms entered the tent. One of them spoke first and asked Lu Zhi a series of questions, showing his familiarity with Lu Zhi.

Lu Yi did not know this person, but seeing that he could speak to Lu Zhi, the commander of an army, in this way, he knew that he must be one of the three commanders. He just didn't know which one between Zhu Jun and Huangfu Song he was.

But the appearance of a young man entering the tent behind that person immediately let Lu Yi know the identity of the person.

"It's you?!"

As Zhu Fu followed Zhu Jun into the tent, he saw a young man of similar age to himself. The light in the tent was dim, and he couldn't see clearly at first. He thought it was Gongsun Zan, a disciple of Lu Zhi.

But after he got used to it, he immediately pointed at Lu Yi in shock.

That day he led the crowd to look for Lu Yi, but could not find him. After returning, he was punished by his father Zhu Jun. It could be said that Lu Yi received a solid lesson.

Therefore, he held a grudge against Lu Yi.

Now when enemies meet, they are naturally jealous of each other.

"Zi Gan, who is this?"

Seeing his son Zhu Fu behave so badly, Zhu Jun became curious about Lu Yi standing in front of Lu Zhi and immediately changed the topic.

"Come, let me introduce you two. This is Cai Yong, Cai Bo, and Ji Si's new disciple. He is from Jiuyuan, Lü Yi, courtesy name Sixiao. He once killed the Xianbei general Hu Tuo in Jiuyuan, and was appointed as the Sima of another unit under my command because of his military merits. It is because of this boy that I summoned you two today."

Upon seeing this, Lu Zhi immediately introduced the two parties.

After he introduced Lu Yi, he turned around and introduced a few people to Lu Yi.

"This is Zhu Shuai, and this young man is Zhu Shuai's eldest son Zhu Fu. But it seems that you two have known each other for a long time?"

"My humble servant greets General Zhu." Lu Yi first bowed to Zhu Jun, then thought of what happened with Zhu Fu and snorted coldly.

"I have met him once before. General Zhu Fu is strict in managing his army. Before I surrendered to General Lu, I was almost caught by General Zhu Fu as a spy..."

"Are you the Lu Yi who surrendered to me earlier?"

"I didn't expect you to be Bo Ji's disciple. We all have a close relationship with your master. This is like a flood that has washed away the Dragon King Temple."

Zhu Jun was stunned at first when he heard this, then he said with a look of regret.

"My son was rude and wrongly accused the meritorious official, which resulted in us not having the chance to meet each other that day. Now that I see you today, I realize that you are indeed a heroic talent..."

"Zhu Fu, why don't you apologize to Sima Lu in person!"

As he spoke, Zhu Jun shouted coldly at Zhu Fu behind him.

Zhu Jun was a fair person who never showed favoritism or engaged in corruption, even towards his own son.

"Zhu Fu wrongly accused Lu Sima that day. I hope Lu Sima will forgive me..."

Zhu Fu didn't dare to disobey his father's order and could only bow slightly to Lu Yi with an unnatural expression.

"They are all serving the country, not the cause."

Lu Yi waved his hand magnanimously, indicating that he didn't care, but this made Zhu Fu feel despised and he became even more angry.

"This is General Huangfu... He is also an old friend of your teacher."

Lu Zhi pointed at another sturdy man and said.

"General Lu Yi pays respect to General Huangfu..."

Upon hearing this, Lu Yi dared not to do so and immediately bowed down.

"Um……?"

Unexpectedly, Huangfu Song's reaction was very strange. He did not answer Lu Yi, but just looked at him absent-mindedly, which made him a little puzzled.

However, Huangfu Song was the commander of an army, so Lu Yi did not dare to act rashly and could only suppress his doubts.

"The thing is like this..."

After getting Lu Zhi's instructions, Lu Yi recounted the information he had just received.

"There is such a good opportunity?"

"If Tan Shihuai is really dead, then the Xianbei in Pingcheng will soon be destroyed!"

Zhu Jun couldn't help but be overjoyed when he heard this and laughed loudly.

"But this is a serious matter, so we need to collect evidence carefully!"

Lu Zhi's face was solemn. He was a strict military commander and naturally would not listen to what Lu Yi's family said.

"This is easy. If Tan Shihuai dies, the Xianbei people will lose their morale and will not dare to continue causing trouble. They will definitely find a chance to withdraw from the interior. As long as we are well prepared and keep a close eye on the Xianbei's movements, once they intend to retreat, Lao Hu will definitely die!"

Zhu Jun was extremely excited and paced back and forth in the big tent.

"Gongwei thinks the same as me, Yizhen...what do you think?"

Lu Zhi nodded and looked at Huangfu Song beside him.

However, Huangfu Song seemed a little absent-minded. He was still staring at Lu Yi's face with a strange look on his face, and he didn't even hear Lu Zhi's question.
