Upon waking, Jingwan found herself in the distant borderlands.
If that wasn't enough, she had turned into a little cat!
After being picked up by the Great General Chu Mo, who was st...
Chapter 67 Tuoba Xun is under house arrest
The good mood faded after seeing Chu Hai. Chu Mo said in a low and serious voice: "What's the matter?"
"Master, there is news about Chu Lei." Chu Hai said, "His men have arrived at the military camp."
Chu Mo's eyes darkened, he said no more, jumped on his horse, and hurried to the military camp.
After arriving at the military camp, as soon as he entered the main tent, he saw Shen Fuwen Zhixun, Chu Feng and others were all there. There was also another person below, who was obviously Chu Lei's subordinate who came to deliver the message.
When the man saw Chu Mo, he knelt on one knee and saluted: "Master."
"explain."
"After Master Xun left the grassland, Tuoba Xiao controlled all of his people, imprisoned or killed them. After Master Xun returned to the grassland, he replaced the main account with his own people, drugged him, and placed him under house arrest. He spread the news that he was ill and would not see outsiders. After that, the eldest brother sneaked into the main account himself and was almost exposed. He escaped not long ago, which led to the loss of contact."
"As long as it's safe." Chu Mo said, "So, what is Tuoba Xun's plan?"
"After the boss sneaked into the main tent, Master Xun told him everything. Before leaving the grassland, he had anticipated the current situation. The men who were killed were all spies who had infiltrated from various parties. The prisoners were also safe, and he was fine too."
Shen Fu was puzzled: "If that's the case, what's the purpose of him pretending to be under house arrest?"
Wen Zhixun pinched his chin, also not understanding.
Chu Mo let out a long breath. He could guess Tuoba Xun's purpose.
But... is it worth it to take the risk just for an answer? What's more...can he accept this answer?
Chu Mo looked at the night sky outside the tent, pursed his lips, and his eyes became terrifyingly dark.
——Tuoba Xun, you'd better leave me safe.
…
At the same time, on the prairie far away.
Although the grassland is vast, not every place is suitable for human habitation. The grassland people are mainly scattered in tribes, and the tribes are closely connected and collectively known as the six tribes of the grassland.
A few years ago, after the eleven tribes on the grassland were reduced to six, the Tuoba tribe became the first tribe, and the tribe leader Tuoba Xun became the uncrowned king of the grassland and was respected as "Prince Xun".
Tuoba clan, master of account.
The main tent is Tuoba Xun's residence. The huge main tent combines a study, bedroom, and dining room into one. It is quite large and luxuriously decorated, showing its expensiveness everywhere.
At this moment, there were guards standing outside the main tent, and there were many people walking back and forth on duty. It seemed that not even a fly could be let in. It seemed like this was the ultimate protection for the people in the tent.
However, it is an airtight confinement for those within the account.
In such a serious situation, the person in the tent was lying on the couch, lazily drinking strong liquor.
He tilted his head back and took a big gulp. The water from the corners of his mouth slowly slid down, flowing to his sexy Adam's apple, and then slid down along the muscle contours onto his exposed chest. The water marks along the way were shining, looking evil and alluring.
Suddenly, his eyebrows raised, the beautiful teardrop mole at the corner of his eyes moved slightly, and his narrow eyes glanced lightly at the door.
I only heard the guard outside the door respectfully calling, "Master Xiao, Madam."
The curtain was drawn open, and two figures walked in, a young man and a beautiful middle-aged woman.
The young man was dressed in tight clothes, he was tall and straight, with a handsome face, curved eyebrows and eyes, and a faint smile always on the corners of his mouth. He looked gentle and kind.
The beautiful woman was dressed in Central Plains clothing, and her face was beautiful and charming with a little makeup. Although there were some wrinkles at the corners of her eyes, it did not affect her beauty at all, and even added a unique charm.
Tuoba Xun retracted his gaze and fell on the wine bottle, his voice lazy and casual: "Xiao'er, there is no more wine."
Tuoba Xiao's face darkened.
Now that Tuoba Xun is a prisoner, he seems to be at ease, drinking and sleeping, as if he doesn't take him seriously at all, which makes people extremely angry.
His brother is always like this, confident and complacent, looking down on the people around him, and even more so on him!
But...so what? Now he wanted Tuoba Xun to die, and he would never let him live to the next day.
He won!
Thinking of this, Tuoba Xiao raised the corners of his mouth, suppressed his anger, nodded to his confidant, and gestured for him to get some wine.
Nan You frowned disapprovingly: "Xun'er, drink less."
If he had not known that he was under house arrest, Tuoba Xun would have thought that the two sides had not yet fallen out.
But now it seems that this sentence is extremely ironic.
Tuoba Xun paused, said nothing, and continued to lie lazily on his side.
In the past, he always listened to his mother, and would respond obediently to Nan You's words. He had never reacted like this before.
The smile on Nan You's lips froze. After a moment, his eyebrows curved and he smiled gently again.
Soon, the wine arrived.
Tuoba Xun ignored the two of them and drank heavily, as if he wanted to get himself drunk.
Tuoba Xiao looked on coldly without saying a word.
After finishing the whole pot of wine, Tuoba Xun's face turned red, and he was a little drunk. His tone was also light and light: "Xiao'er, you have grown up. You are no longer a child who needs my protection. Now you have high aspirations and great ambitions. It's just..."
He sighed softly: "It's still not enough."
"Not enough?" Tuoba Xiao sneered, his face gloomy: "Are you trying to say that I am not as good as you?"
Tuoba Xun pursed his thin lips and drooped his long eyelashes slightly.
"Stop looking down on others!" Tuoba Xiao cursed angrily, "Now, if I want to kill you, I can kill you. Do you think you are still the high and mighty grassland king?"
"I know you never took me seriously and thought I was inferior to you in every way. But I won! Not only did I win you, but before long, I will lead my troops to capture Yunan Pass. By then, I will kill Chu Mo and slaughter all the people in the pass, so that everyone in the world will know my name, Tuoba Xiao!"
"Idiot! Do you want to kill Chu Mo?" Tuoba Xun scolded, "You will only harm the entire grassland!"
Tuoba Xiao smiled to himself, his eyes full of mockery: "I am not you, just a coward."
Arrogant and arrogant, for some reason, Tuoba Xun suddenly didn't want to say anything and closed his eyes in disappointment.
He said nothing, but Tuoba Xiao continued, "Tuoba Xun, what kind of good thing do you think you are? You are self-righteous, hypocritical, arrogant, and look down on others. Do you really think you are so great?"
Tuoba Xun raised his eyes, his heart tightening, knowing that the answer he wanted was about to be revealed.
"Do you feel that you have done a lot for me and my mother, that you are quite great, and that we have let you down?" Tuoba Xiao approached suddenly, lowered his eyes and stared at Tuoba Xun, his eyes were sinister and vicious, and he said word by word: "Do you know that you have hurt us so much?!"
