Joy of Life: I'm really not a saint

Without rushing to tell the result, Li An picked up the tea poured by Tong'er and asked softly: "Tuoba Xiong, is this your name? You have come all the way from Xihu to Beiqi, don't tell me you just came to ask me for fortune-telling."

"Mr. has a good eye!"

Tuoba Xiong's eyes lit up, but he had just noticed that Li An had a different expression while he was fortune-telling, and it was obvious that he had figured out the twists and turns in his life, so he stopped pretending to hide anything.

"Sir, I know you have predicted that I will not live long, please save me!"

After saying that, he sat cross-legged on the cushion, supported his knees with his hands, lowered his head deeply, and looked very sincere!

Tuoba Xiong obviously misunderstood something.

"Tell me about your current situation first."

Who is Ang Lee?

This is the protagonist who has no emotions as the readers said!

He didn't make any mistakes! Tuoba Xiong said this himself!

Happy New Year, dear readers!

Chapter 203 Tuoba Xiong.

"So that you know, sir, I am the eldest disciple of Xihu's national teacher, and also the leader of the right army, Tuoba Xiong!"

Li An nodded and gestured to continue.

Tuoba Xiong was slightly stunned. He thought that these Northern Qi Qing people were used to talking about things in a roundabout way before they came up! For example, how is your master doing recently? Or the general situation in the world, etc.

Seeing that Ang Lee didn't want to follow those red tapes, Tuoba Xiong spoke his mind.

"Sir, I think you have figured it out. I have a rough life and a deep hatred! And my mortal enemy is still alive and well, and is becoming more and more powerful and unfathomable! Yes, he is my master - Yelu Xuan!"

Seeing Li Ang's calm expression, Tuoba Xiong couldn't help but feel relieved.

It seems that we have found the right person to find this Northern Qi national teacher!

"This person's mind is unpredictable. He killed my whole family but accepted me as his disciple. Not only did he not kill me to prevent future troubles, but he also taught me martial arts. It seems that he is not afraid of my revenge in the future! Maybe this is the confidence and confidence of a master!"

Tuoba Xiong sighed and continued, "If that's the case, it's fine. That old villain hasn't shown any killing intent towards me yet. Now that the Western Hu have just been unified, there are concerns about the instability of various forces within the country and powerful enemies from other countries around. Although I am not talented, I am still somewhat useful. Originally, this matter was not so urgent, but recently something unexpected happened, which made me even more worried!"

Seeing that Tuoba Xiong had explained his ideas clearly and given so many hints, Li An's left hand hidden in his long sleeves had already calculated more things.

He whispered, "Your junior fellow apprentice?"

Although it was a question, the tone was very affirmative.

Tuoba Xiong first cupped his hands in admiration, thinking that there really are extraordinary people in this world, it is better to meet them in person than to hear about them, and he can know everything about the world without leaving his home!

"It's my fellow apprentice Qu Han!"

He took off the robe on his left shoulder with his right hand, revealing a piece of bronze skin.

He was wearing nothing inside. Although it was spring and the breeze was no longer so biting, it was still a bit chilly. But the man in front of him was also at the ninth level, and could be called the second best person in Xihu country. Naturally, he was not afraid of the slight chill.

Tuoba Xiong's action was a little sudden, causing Zhao Tong'er to accidentally glance at his skin. She quickly turned her head slightly, only her ears moved slightly, obviously she was still paying attention to what he said, wondering in her heart what was the reason that she could not get any useful information from him?

"This skin is so rough!" Zhao Tong'er thought to herself.

"Feel sorry!"

Seeing Zhao Tong'er's behavior, Tuoba Xiong realized that his actions were a little inappropriate. There was no need to be cautious here. Men and women were still very conservative. He had to act carefully in the future to avoid offending Li An.

If Zhao Tong'er knew about Tuoba Xiong's mental activity, she would definitely sneer. You don't know that my master and mistress were like that just now.

How can it be called open?

Seeing that Li An did not show any displeasure, Tuoba Xiong pointed to his left arm and continued, "This wound was caused by my junior brother. In the past two years, his skills have greatly increased, and his cultivation has become more and more advanced! Although he is still at the ninth level like me, both the quality of his true energy and the strange moves show that he has had a fortuitous encounter!"

Needless to say, there was no such thing as two great generals existing at the same time in Xihu.

It seems that Qu Han, nicknamed Flying Eagle, should also be carrying a blood feud like Tuoba Xiong.

The reason for taking action against Tuoba Xiong was, firstly, for military power, and secondly, perhaps to use Tuoba Xiong as a tool to sharpen his sword?

"As long as he doesn't break through, he won't be able to take revenge!" Li An asked tentatively.

As expected, Tuoba Xiong nodded and said, "The reason why he attacked me was that he wanted to test himself, and secondly, he wanted to join forces with me. But I know how powerful that old villain Yelu Xuan is! He and I cannot defeat him. We can only rely on tens of thousands of troops to grind him to death!"

The wound on his arm seemed to have healed, but he could still feel the pain. "I have a deep hatred in my heart, and I cannot give up the military power no matter what. The idea of ​​two people joining forces is as empty as a castle in the air. His mind has been devoured by hatred and all his rationality has been taken away. I don't believe he can succeed! Naturally, he will not trust anyone except me, let alone hand over all the initiative!"

Although Tuoba Xiong was seriously injured in the fight between the two, fortunately Qu Han did not want to make a big deal out of it at this time, so he saved his life.

When the Western Hu's looting of the Northern Barbarians ends, or when Yelu Xuan travels to another country again to plan something, that will be the time for Qu Han to attack him again!

"Please, sir, save me!"

Tuoba Xiong gritted his teeth and said, "If you can kill that old villain Yelu Xuan, I will sell my life to you!"

After hearing this, Li An fell into deep thought.

After a long while, Li An raised his head and asked Tuoba Xiong: "If you are afraid of trouble, why don't you surrender to Northern Qi and kill Yelu Xuan? We can make a long-term plan!"

"No!"

Tuoba Xiong flatly refused, "It's not that I don't believe in your ability. The traces of the battle outside the city that day have not been cleaned up. I also went to check the traces on the scene and know your methods. In addition, the entire Jinyiwei and the Northern Qi Imperial Palace Guards know about what happened that night. It is impossible to hide it from someone like me. I also want to surrender to the Northern Qi, survive and then slowly plan how to take revenge. But in the Western Hu country, my wife who I married a few years ago and my two-year-old son are in the hands of Yelu Xuan!"

Perhaps he knew that too much is as bad as too little. If he killed Tuoba Xiong's relatives again, Yelu Xuan would know that this eldest disciple would risk his life to fight against the enemy, and finally die in his hands!

He is still useful now, so I might as well use his family as hostages so that he can work for me with peace of mind.

And the previous methods could also let his eldest disciple know that he, Yelu Xuan, was capable of ruthless actions!

Tuoba Xiong had no choice but to compromise until now.

Li An nodded, but didn't mention the matter again. The conversation between the two seemed to gradually turn into casual chatting.

"Although you are now the leader of the Right Army, and seem to be in a very high position, second only to one person and above ten thousand people, this is only the instruction of your Great Khan, or to be more precise, Yelu Xuan. He instructed you to take this position, regardless of your achievements and abilities. If one day you are no longer useful, for example, if you are crippled by Qu Han or something, your position will be taken back in an instant."

There was still room for manipulation during wartime, but it is difficult now!

"How many people in the army are loyal to you now?"

Tuoba Xiong pondered in his heart, his face grim and he gritted his teeth and said: "To be conservative, there are three thousand people!"

"so little?"

Li An raised his eyebrows, a little surprised.

You must know that the commander of the Xihu Right Army is considered the top general in the army. He is in charge of basically half of the Xihu's troops. Roughly speaking, there must be at least 200,000 or 300,000 soldiers!

You should know that the Western Hu were similar to the Northern Qi. The people were born and raised on horseback. They usually grazed and sang on the border, and in times of war they mounted horses and became cavalry.

It is no exaggeration to say that everyone is a soldier.

What's more, the grass is growing and the horses are fat. They are still looting and harassing the northern barbarian border and stockpiling supplies to survive the next cold winter. It is still wartime, and the country's military strength is at least hundreds of thousands.

There are only three thousand people, which is definitely not enough!

Chapter 204: Predicting the future?

"It's not that I'm incompetent. These are my brothers who have fought for my life. As for the others, Yelu Xuan has unparalleled magical powers. In the land of Western Hu where the strong are respected, he has been regarded as the messenger of the Eternal Heaven. His prestige is unparalleled. Even the Great Khan relies on him a little!"

The more Tuoba Xiong spoke, the angrier he became. This matter seemed like a vicious circle with no solution at all.

If one day his Tuoba Xiong cavalry were to rebel, except for those die-hard loyal ones, the rest would most likely turn against him.

"Although there are few of these people, you have to win them over, train them hard, and teach them the way of cultivation in secret. It would be best if you can make one against ten, so that you can keep them for future use!"

Tuoba Xiong agreed with Li An's words, "Thank you for your reminder, Mr. Xie. I will do the same in the future!"

Li An nodded and said, "We still have to continue to recruit people, but no matter what method you use, concealment is the most important thing!"

Such is the limitation of this age of divine right of kings.

If the people are not enlightened, there will naturally be no question of independence and sound individual thinking.

Not to mention that there are gods in this world, so the temple is God to the people in this world!

Under such a trend of thought, when people saw the great power of Yelu Xuan, they would naturally admire and blindly worship him. Tuoba Xiong's military power came from the canonization of the Great Khan and the support of his nominal master, Yelu Xuan.

The other party's power can be taken away at any time with just one word!

"What's next? What are you going to do after you kill Yelu Xuan?"

Tuoba Xiong, who had been articulate and quick-witted just now, was slightly stunned. He had never thought of this.

It was just because he would not deceive himself. He had never seen any hope of revenge before, and he had never thought that he could defeat the devil. He did not even dare to hope so in his dreams.

"Maybe just live peacefully with your wife and children and protect them well."

His mood became depressed, but he immediately reacted and said, "Of course, this life will belong to you after this. If you can take care of my wife and children, I am not afraid of death!"

After hearing the other party's statement, Li An did not say anything extra.

Who are these officials? They are all men.

And what do men like? Power and women.

Would a person who has held a high position of power be content to return to a simple life? Of course not.

Tuoba Xiong naturally said this in his current state of mind, but he didn't know what would happen then, so it would be better to just point it out directly, so as to leave him something to think about.

"After this is accomplished, I want you to become the Great Khan of the Western Hu! When the time is right, I want you to submit your entire nation to the Northern Qi. At that time, I will grant you the position of a king of a different surname. Are you willing?"

As for military power?

No.

Why would a king of a different surname need military power if he has his own fiefdom?

This result is countless times better than what Tuoba Xiong had expected. For the sake of his wife and children, he doesn't care so much about power and status. Although Li An looks at him with poisonous eyes and has the worst intentions, he will agree anyway.

He would not cling to power and have rebellious thoughts. If the other party had done him a favor, coupled with the great power of the Grandmaster, even if he became the Great Khan, he would not have the confidence to survive one more day under the assassination of the other party.

"Then my life is yours, sir! But what should I do next?"

Tuoba Xiong had doubts. It's not that he had not looked for his wife and children when Yelu Xuan went to another country, but no matter whether he looked openly or secretly, he couldn't find any news at all.

If Yelu Xuan had not shown him the letters written by his wife and the hair that fell from his children's growth every few months, he would have been sure that his wife and children had been murdered!

Since they are related by blood, how could he not know that those hairs belonged to his son?

And his wife was the daughter of the chief of a large tribe of Xihu a few years ago, and she knew that she could read and write.

"This matter is not urgent for now. As long as you are useful to them, nothing will happen to them. When the time comes, I will take action in advance, calculate their whereabouts and rescue them, so that you can start the incident without any worries!"

Ang Lee made a firm commitment.

In this way, it can be regarded as planting another chess piece, and it is a very crucial chess piece!

The success or failure of things depends on Tuoba Xiong's special fate!

"how much longer?"

"Two years!"

Li An said in a deep voice, he was looking at Tuoba Xiong, but his mind had already drifted to the figure in the palace in the distant Nanqing.

With Emperor Qing's intelligence and means, it is impossible for him to not have a back-up plan when the two countries confront each other.

Calculating the worst case scenario, considering that Yelu Xuan and Emperor Qing have now joined forces, if he sends troops two years later, he will most likely be attacked from behind by Yelu Xuan!

What do you mean by going to Shangjing to form an alliance with Northern Qi and jointly conquer Southern Qing? Those who understand will understand!

And what chips do you have in your hand?

Ku He or Si Gu Jian? Wu Zhu, that's a no-brainer.

Si Gu Jian still has a chance to fight for it, but although he and Emperor Qing dislike each other, the relationship between Fan Xian's mother Ye Qingmei and Si Gu Jian is still very close.

Knowing the original plot, Ang Lee couldn't help but suspect that Si Gu Jian must have some different thoughts about Fan Xian's mother!

Otherwise, why would he take such good care of Fan Xian afterwards?

He also handed over the Sword House of Dongyi City and the Ninth Rank disciples therein to Fan Xian! And the position of Lord of Dongyi City was given to Yun Zhilan!

Now Yun Zhilan is dead! He died at his own hands. Not only will it be difficult to win over Si Gu Jian, but even the position of the Lord of Dongyi City will probably be given to Fan Xian!

He was already far ahead of the others, and the novice village where he was born was near the finish line.

Perhaps, I can make some plans for this location in Dadong Mountain.

With a plan in mind, Li Ang's thoughts gradually became clearer, and even his facial expression became much calmer.
