At the beginning, I became a county magistrate with greed of 500 million. The empress asked me to be

"Do you really want to know?"

Tuoba Jinghui responded, and at this moment, a strange look gradually appeared between the smile on his face.

"Of course I do. Is there anything wrong with that?"

Huyan Jueluo was surprised and didn't understand what Tuoba Jinghui was keeping in suspense.

At this time, Tuoba Jinghui quickly moved close to Huyan Jueluo and leaned over to whisper in his ear.

"My boss's name is Xia Yun."

Tuoba Jinghui's voice was very soft, so soft that only Huyan Jueluo could hear it clearly.

However, this simple sentence made Huyan Juelu feel like he was struck by lightning, and he was shocked on the spot.

"Xia...Xia Yun?!"

Huyan Jueluo widened his pupils and stared at Tuoba Jinghui in disbelief.

Although he didn't know much about the Great War in the Northern Frontier, he still knew the name of the Daliang Dynasty's Grand Marshal of the Northern Expedition.

The name was none other than Xia Yun!

"You mean, Boss Xia is..."

Huyan Jueluo's voice trembled, and he immediately wanted to get a definite response from Tuoba Jinghui.

However, before he could finish his words, Tuoba Jinghui stopped him with his eyes.

There were many people in the tavern, and he could never reveal Xia Yun's identity in such a place in front of so many people.

But even so, Tuoba Jinghui nodded, confirming Huyan Jueluo's guess.

Seeing this, Huyan Jueluo was so shocked that his legs became weak unconsciously and he slumped down in the chair.

Before this, he had never thought that the boss Xia who had just chatted and laughed with him would give him 12,000 taels of silver at a time.

He turned out to be the Great Northern Expedition Marshal of the Daliang Dynasty!

You know, as the war in the northern border continues, Xia Yun's reputation in the entire Mobei grassland can be said to be well-known.

Two months ago, in the Battle of Hexi Corridor, Xia Yun annihilated 400,000 barbarian troops in one battle, causing almost every family in the Mobei grassland to be in mourning. His terrifying reputation was enough to make even children afraid to cry at night!

"Brother Huyan, are you okay?"

Looking at Huyan Jueluo, who was slumped in the chair with lifeless eyes, Tuoba Jinghui raised his eyebrows slightly.

"so far so good."

Huyan Jueluo's thoughts were brought back to reality and he immediately wiped the sweat from his forehead.

"Brother Tuoba, what should I do now?"

After learning Xia Yun's identity, Huyan Jueluo was now in a panic and had no idea what to do.

"Didn't the boss tell you to bring your luggage and meet us at the Prairie Inn?"

"Of course, if you don't want to go, the boss won't blame you, but you have to think clearly. This is an opportunity for both you and the entire Northern Barbarians."

Tuoba Jinghui spoke successively.

opportunity?

Huyan Jueluo was stunned again. He didn't react to Tuoba Jinghui's words for a while.

"what chance?"

After several breaths, Huyan Jueluo still didn't understand the reason.

Tuoba Jinghui sighed and could only explain on the spot.

"Brother Huyan, how long do you think the barbarian troops on the battlefield in the northern border can hold out?"

Tuoba Jinghui asked back.

"Didn't they say that the Dune Dynasty had already sent out troops? How did the situation get to that point?"

Upon hearing this, the look of astonishment on Huyan Jueluo's face increased instead of diminishing.

In his impression, although Xia Yun's performance in this Northern Frontier War was extremely horrific, now that the Dune Dynasty has sent troops, the barbarians will not be defeated.

"The Dune People? Humph, they are like a clay Buddha crossing a river, unable to protect themselves, how can they care about the barbarians?"

Tuoba Jinghui snorted coldly at first.

"Brother Huyan, I'm telling you the truth today. The barbarian troops in the northeast are now fighting desperately. In less than a month, the barbarian troops in the northeast will be wiped out!"

Immediately afterwards, Tuoba Jinghui directly revealed to Huyan Juelu the final outcome of the war in the Northeast!

"What? A month!"

Huyan Jueluo's pupils widened, an expression of disbelief on his face, and at the same time, the astonishment in his heart reached its peak at this moment.

You know, there are 380,000 barbarian troops in the northeast, plus the help of the Dune Dynasty, how could they last less than a month? !

"Brother Huyan, I'll leave first. I hope you can think this matter over carefully. Even if you don't come, the Northern Barbarians are still my friends, Tuoba Jinghui."

Tuoba Jinghui patted Huyan Jueluo on the shoulder while speaking, then turned and left the box.

The supplies at the Grassland Inn were robbed, so he had to rush back to Xia Yun as soon as possible to deal with the matter.

After Tuoba Jinghui left, Huyan Jueluo, who had been weak all over, gradually understood the meaning of the word "opportunity" that Tuoba Jinghui had just said.

If what Tuoba Jinghui said is true, the 380,000 Manchu troops in the Northeast will be wiped out within a month.

By then, there will be no troops in the entire Mobei grassland that can compete with the Daliang Dynasty.

Including those powerful tribes on the grassland, only the old, weak and sick were left.

By then, the Tuoba tribe, which has already surrendered to Xia Yun, will inevitably become the new generation of overlords on the Mobei grassland.

If the Northern Barbarians can also seize this opportunity, even if their status is not as good as the Tuoba tribe at that time, they will definitely far surpass other tribes!

As Huyan Jueluo gradually sorted out the clues, his originally doubtful eyes gradually began to show a very determined light!

……

"Immediately send someone to Tieshui City to notify the troops in the city and prepare for any unexpected events."

Inside the grassland inn, Xia Yun looked calm and composed as he gave orders.

At the same time, there were nearly a dozen figures in the inn, including Zhang Lin, Xiang Wentian, Tuoba Jinghui, and their trusted followers.

A quarter of an hour had passed since they returned to the inn.

From Tuoba Jingcheng, Xia Yun gradually understood the whole picture of the matter.

Half an hour ago, the City Lord's Mansion sent out hundreds of cavalrymen who surrounded the entire grassland inn without any explanation.

The leader then gave the order to rob all the supplies that Xia Yun brought with him.

At the same time, the leader also spread the word, asking Xia Yun to go to the City Lord's Mansion in person after learning the news.

Otherwise, send someone to forcibly capture Xia Yun and take him to the City Lord's Mansion.

"These dune people are going too far! Marshal, I think we should stop wasting time talking to them. I will send you out of the city through a secret passage at night, and then I will lead my men to sneak into the city lord's mansion and chop off the city lord's head!"

Tuoba Jinghui said viciously.

As a hegemon on the Mobei grassland, he had rarely been subjected to such blatant threats in his life. At this moment, he even wanted to pick up a knife and kill his way into the city lord's mansion.

"Brother Tuoba's words are very appropriate. Marshal, your safety is the top priority."

Xiang Wentian, who was standing aside, also expressed his agreement.

They had to ensure that Xia Yun was safe, and they also had to vent their anger.
