"General, according to your logic, you're not planning to give me the five million taels of silver?"

Murong Chui didn't say anything.

The butler next to him quickly gave him a series of winks.

"General, please calm down."

As the saying goes, "A moment of patience brings calm, and a step back opens up a vast sky."

"The eldest son is still in their hands."

We need to be patient now.

"The commander-in-chief doesn't want his eldest son, Murong Xue, to die tragically at their hands."

"Take him down and find a way to raise five million taels of silver for him." Murong Chui held the wooden box, his eyes moist.

The butler nodded and beckoned to Chen Jianghe: "Sir, please come with me."

"This five million taels of silver is what our lord wanted. I came all the way from the capital, enduring countless hardships. You should at least give me something in return," Chen Jianghe asked.

"Give him another 100,000 taels of silver."

"yes……"

...

The capital of the Xianbei people.

First floor.

"Please come inside, sir." The waiter, seeing Chen Jianghe dressed in a flying fish robe, quickly ushered him inside.

"Sir, please take a seat. Please follow me."

This first floor now not only has restaurants but also accommodations.

Under Jiang Tian's guidance.

The first floor is getting bigger and bigger.

The First Building has long since overshadowed the World Society's World Building.

The Tianxialou restaurant of the Tianxia Society is just a place to eat.

The first floor not only has places to eat and stay, but also places to have fun.

On the first floor, customers came in a constant stream.

The hall was bustling with people.

The waiter led Chen Jianghe through the hall and straight to the backyard.

To Chen Jianghe's surprise, the person waiting for him was none other than Ding Xiu, a commander of the Embroidered Uniform Guard.

"Your subordinate greets Commander. What brings you here, Commander?"

Ding Xiu glanced at Chen Jianghe: "From now on, when you're handling business in the Xianbei capital, don't wear the flying fish robe; wear casual clothes instead."

"promise……"

"How's the matter the principal entrusted to you going?"

"The five million taels of silver have arrived, and the other party even gave me an extra one hundred thousand taels of silver."

Ding Xiu nodded in satisfaction after hearing this.

"Chen Jianghe, we've come here this time for more than just five million taels of silver."

"What are your orders, Commander? Please tell me, and I will go through fire and water for you."

"Our lord is about to be the first to launch a war to destroy the country, and a large number of Jinyiwei have already secretly entered the Xianbei capital."

Upon hearing this, Chen Jianghe was extremely excited.

The fact that a large number of Imperial Guards have entered the Xianbei Dynasty indicates that what they are about to do is definitely not small.

"The lord has ordered the Embroidered Uniform Guard to carry out an assassination mission and kill all the soldiers who lead troops in battle within the Xianbei capital."

"And what about Murong Chui?"

"Let's keep this bastard alive for now. Once we've reduced him to a general with no troops left, he won't pose the slightest threat to our lord."

Ding Xiu paused for a moment, then picked up a cup of tea, brought it to his lips, and took a small sip.

"Our lord's army will set off soon."

"Lord Commander, there is something I don't understand. With the strength of the main attacking army, my stepfather could have wiped out the Xianbei without breaking a sweat. Why then did he send us Jinyiwei to carry out this mission?"

Ding Xiu placed the teacup on the table: "We want to make them panic, so that they will be terrified even on their deathbed."

"My lord is wise," Chen Jianghe said, pulling a large stack of silver notes from his sleeve.

"Lord Commander, shall you deliver this silver note to the lord, or shall I deliver it?"

"Neither you nor I will do this; let someone else handle it."

The assassinations of Xianbei generals began today.

"promise……"

…………

The Marshal's Mansion.

Murong Chui was furious, and all his right-hand men gathered in his study.

"With Murong Xue in Jiang Tian's hands, I wonder what kind of ways he will torture my son."

"General, we must rescue the eldest son."

"Otherwise, that beast Jiang Tian would have found all sorts of ways to torment the young master."

Murong Chui nodded.

"Has Murong Xingchen and his thousands of wolf guards really been wiped out by Jiang Tian in one fell swoop?"

The wolf guards all nodded.

"Jiang Tian is an extraordinary man. You must be extra careful when you go to rescue the young master."

This great general doesn't want you to lose more than you gain by trying to steal a chicken.

This will only make the eldest son suffer more.

Everyone cupped their hands and said, "Please rest assured, Commander, we will do our utmost."

"Go, and don't disappoint me. When you return, I will reward you handsomely."

"promise……"

"Murong Jun, Murong Min, I'm entrusting this matter to you two. You must bring the eldest young master to me safely."

"promise……"

"Go..."

...

Dozens of wolf guards sped off from the imperial city.

They headed straight for the Khitan's capital, Shangjing.

Along the way, the wind and snow grew stronger.

A north wind rises overnight, and thick clouds gather over ten thousand miles.

Looking up at the vast emptiness, it seems as if a jade dragon is fighting.

Scales flew everywhere, instantly covering the universe.

The snow is getting heavier and heavier.

However, Murong Jun, Murong Min, and the others did not dare to linger.

His warhorse galloped forward, its hooves pounding the ground.

"This snow is falling so heavily!" Murong Jun watched as the vast snowfield was soon covered in white again.

"Our commander is now only concerned about Murong Xue's life and death. Since Jiang Tian has already declared that he will wage a war to destroy our Xianbei people."
