Mu Lingchen nodded in agreement.

Indeed, the situation in the capital is very unfavorable for Xuan Yuanzhan. It is said that the emperor is seriously ill and unable to govern. The current court affairs are being handled by Xuan Yuanyu and Xuan Yuanzhi. If Xuan Yuanyu and Xuan Yuanzhi can still fight each other, that would be best, as Xuan Yuanzhan still has time to wait for them to fight each other.

However, if these two become too powerful, the situation in Kyoto will quickly settle down, and by then it will be difficult for Xuanyuan Zhan to have any chance of turning things around when he returns.

He also knew Xuan Yuanzhan. He didn't care about imperial power or want to be emperor. But given the personalities of Xuan Yuanyu and Xuan Yuanzhi, no matter who became emperor, they wouldn't let Xuan Yuanzhan go.

Therefore, even for the sake of Aunt Bai and Cousin Ning'er, Xuanyuan Zhan must fight for the throne!

However, they are currently in the north and cannot concern themselves with the capital. They need to deal with the Northern Rong first.

Mu Lingchen patted Xuan Yuanzhan on the shoulder and said, "Alright, leave this to me. I'll lead them to find an ambush point. After we're done, I'll lead them down the mountain to move the stones. You can go back and rest."

He looked so tired; his beard was so long. He probably hadn't slept for days.

Xuan Yuanzhan had complete confidence in Mu Lingchen, and after giving him a few more instructions, he returned to Beifeng City.

Mu Lingchen and his soldiers were still busy on the mountain, while Bai Ying had already led the brothers of Liuying Village back to the former Liuying Village.

"Everyone, go and get busy. Tidy up the village and get familiar with the surroundings again. From now on, we are still the bandits of Liuying Village!"

"Yes," the brothers from Liuying Village replied, and then went to get busy.

The village has been uninhabited for almost half a month, and it really needs to be cleaned up.

Bai Ying then led several key members of the village into the house to discuss their strategy for going to Beirong the following night.

They waited until the evening of the second day before Bai Ying led five people to the Tianqiong tribe of Beirong.

Because the Northern Rong are at war, the entire Sky Dome tribe is under martial law.

As soon as Bai Ying and his group arrived at the territory of the Sky Dome Tribe, they were stopped by Sky Dome soldiers: "Who are you? What are you doing in our Sky Dome?"

Bai Ying immediately cupped his hands to the soldiers and said, "Bai Ying, the chief of Liuying Village, has important business to discuss with Tianqiong Chanyu. Please inform him."

The Sky Soldiers glanced at them, and seeing that White Eagle had only brought a few people, they weren't particularly wary.

Since White Eagle said he had important business to attend to, the Sky Soldiers didn't delay. They left the others to watch over White Eagle and his men while they quickly went back to report.

Just then, Tuoba Xiong returned to his tribe. He hadn't rested for the past two days, and since the Holy King wasn't in the city that night, he took the opportunity to go back to his tribe for a good rest.

Tuoba Xiong took off his battle robe and was about to rest when a soldier came to report: "Chanyu, Bai Ying, the chief of Liuying Village, says he has something to ask of you."

Tuoba Xiong paused in taking off his boots, frowning as he asked, "The leader of Liuying Village? What does he look like?"

The soldier thought for a moment and said, "It seems to have silver hair and only one eye."

Silver hair? One eye?

Tuoba Xiong squinted. He really was the leader of Liuying Village.

This leader of Liuying Village is renowned far and wide, not only in Dongchu but also in the Northern Rong.

As bandits, they showed no mercy in robbing the Northern Rong people, striking fear into their hearts. This demonstrates their formidable nature!

But why does this person suddenly want to see him?

Normally, he might have been in the mood to meet this person, after all, he was a well-known figure in the Northern Rong, so it wouldn't hurt to meet him. But right now, he was too busy with war to have time to see him!

"If you don't see me, just say I'm not here."

"Yes," the soldier replied, bowing and immediately retreating to report.

A moment later, the soldier ran up to Bai Ying and said, "My Chanyu is not here and it is inconvenient for him to see you today. Please go back."

White Eagle was not surprised by this answer.

Although he didn't know whether Tuoba Xiong was truly not there or simply didn't want to see him, he had to see Tuoba Xiong tonight.

"Where is your Chanyu? I really have important business to discuss with your Chanyu. I have a way to help the Northern Rong win this battle against the Northern Feng."

Bai Ying's words made the soldier take it seriously again. He stared at Bai Ying for a while, and seeing that he didn't seem to be lying, he hurriedly went back to report.

Inside the tent, Tuoba Xiong had already lain down when a soldier rushed in to report: "Chanyu, that man just said he has a way to make the Northern Rong defeat the Northern Feng."

"What?" Tuoba Xiong, who was about to fall asleep, suddenly sat up straight from his bed upon hearing this. He stared at the soldier solemnly: "What does he mean by that?"

The soldier was completely baffled by Tuoba Xiong's question.

Tuoba Xiong asked anxiously, "What were his exact words?"

The soldier immediately bowed: "He said he had important business to discuss with the Chanyu and that he had a way to help the Northern Rong win the battle against the Northern Feng."

Tuoba Xiong frowned: "Didn't you say anything else?"

The soldier shook his head: "No, I felt it was of great importance, so I came back to report immediately."

Tuoba Xiong thought for a moment, then waved his hand and said, "Go and bring the person over quickly."

"Yes," the soldier replied and hurriedly went out again.

Outside, Bai Ying waited for a short while before the soldier returned: "Our Chanyu has just returned. The Chanyu invites you to his tent."

"Thank you." White Eagle didn't expose him and followed him to Sky Dome's camp.

Once outside the camp, Bai Ying and his companions dismounted and followed the soldiers into the camp.

When the soldiers led Bai Ying and the others into the tent, Tuoba Xiong had already put on his boots and armor and was waiting.

As soon as Bai Ying entered the tent, he saw Tuoba Xiong sitting upright.

Tuoba Xiong also saw Bai Ying. Seeing his silver hair and one eye covered by an eyepatch, he immediately raised his eyebrows and said, "You are the leader of Liuying Village?"

Bai Ying placed his right hand on his chest, bowed to Tuoba Xiong, and performed the Northern Rong salute: "Bai Ying of Liuying Village greets Tianqiong Chanyu."

Seeing that he was quite polite, Tuoba Xiong's fierce aura softened slightly: "What did you mean by the message you just had the soldiers deliver? What plan do you have to make the Northern Rong defeat the Northern Feng?"

White Eagle, however, was not in a hurry. He smiled and said, "White Eagle has come this time to discuss a cooperation with the Chanyu."

Hearing that he wanted to negotiate, Tuoba Xiong sneered disdainfully: "You think that without your methods, we Northern Rong can't break through Beifeng City! Let me tell you, we Northern Rong are determined to take these five cities in the north!"

Tuoba Xiong suddenly became angry, but Bai Ying was not afraid. He still smiled and said, "My method can achieve victory without bloodshed. Does the Chanyu really not want to hear it?"

The phrase "without bloodshed" finally piqued Tuoba Xiong's interest. He narrowed his eyes and asked, "What kind of cooperation do you want to discuss?"
