"Chief, please listen to me!"
Before Shefu could finish speaking, Li Ru appeared and interrupted him, saying in a deep voice, "The leader must also know that Tan Shihuai's visit this time is not simply about forming an alliance."
Upon hearing this, Shefu nodded: "I know, he wants to use the alliance as an opportunity to find out the strength of our tribe."
Li Ru said solemnly, "That's right. If Tan Shihuai were to learn of our current situation, he would probably attack us first."
Shefu hesitated and said, "But didn't you already make arrangements and successfully persuade the envoy sent by Tan Shihuai?"

"Please rest assured, Chief, Ru will be fine!"
After two days of preparation, Li Ru, accompanied by several attendants and the Xianbei envoy, left the shores of Hulun Lake and headed towards the territory of Tanshihuai.
