It wasn't until he set up camp to rest in the evening that Tuoba Luguan, who had been in a state of excitement, realized that something was not right.

Because he found that his grandfather brought too many people this time.

Looking far into the distance, one cannot see the end of the camp.

Just from what I can see, I'm afraid there are not 30,000 or 40,000 people there.

The strange thing is that he didn't see a single woman or child, not even the old or the weak.

The strangest thing is that supposedly my grandfather's tent was not only the tallest, but also should have been erected in the center of all the tents.

But the fact is that my grandfather's camp was only slightly larger than the surrounding ones.

Separated by a camp ditch, on the territory that clearly belonged to another camp, there was a camp the same size as my grandfather's.

This is not the most important thing.

The most important thing is my grandfather's camp, which is located on the periphery of the entire camp.

Like other camps, the central tent with the big flag was guarded layer by layer.

There seems to be Chinese characters written on that big flag.

Tuoba Luguan didn't understand what a camp was.

But he knew that this kind of unclear and powerful method of setting up camps was simply not something that the Luhui tribe could do.

Because even the head of the rope is not capable of doing this.

Tuoba Luguan wanted to cross the camp ditch to find out what was going on, but the guards in the camp next door did not give him any face because of his identity. Instead, they shouted at him:

"You are not allowed to cross the border without military orders, otherwise you will be shot without mercy!"

At the same time, he also raised his crossbow.

Facing the gleaming clusters of arrows, Tuoba Luguan had to retreat to his base camp.

All these things made Tuoba Luguan, who was originally extremely happy, suddenly feel a bad feeling in his heart.

He didn't bother to observe the camp anymore, turned around and ran towards Dou Bin's tent.

"Third Young Patriarch?"

"I want to see my grandfather!"

"Your Excellency has just returned to his account and is discussing something..."

Dou Bin's voice came from inside: "Is there a senior official outside? Let my grandson come in."

The guard then stepped aside and allowed Officer Tuoba Lu to enter the tent.

"Grandpa..."

As soon as Tuoba Luguan entered the tent, he called out his grandfather, but as his eyes fell on a familiar figure, he immediately forgot all the words he had yet to say.

His eyes were about to pop out, and his face was full of disbelief:

"Brother?! You, why are you here?"

Tuoba Desert Khan, who was standing next to Dou Bin, was much more calm. He smiled at Tuoba Luguan and nodded:

"Fourth brother, long time no see."

"Meng Fu, is this your fourth brother?"

Standing next to Tuoba Desert Khan, the bald Tianli asked Tuoba Desert Khan with a playful smile on his face.

Tuoba Desert Khan nodded: "Exactly."

The bald man stood up and said to Tuoba Luguan:

"Tuoba Luguan, right? I am Tufa Kheli, your clan brother."

Bald?

When Tuoba Luguan heard this name, his pupils suddenly shrank.

Tuoba Luguan naturally knows the relationship between the bald part and the head.

Because according to common sense, the position of leader of Suotou does not belong to you, but to your elder brother Tuoba Pigu.

But because you are the son of a goddess, my grandfather decided to pass on the position of leader to you.

Tuoba Pigu was displeased, so he changed his name to Tuoba Bald and led the tribesmen who supported him to leave.

A few years ago, news came that the Bald-headed tribe had defected to the Han people and planned to use the power of the Han people to come back for revenge.

One of Tuoba Luguan's legs instinctively turned outward, but his body stopped abruptly.

His eyes fell on Dou Bin and hissed:

"Grandpa, what do you mean?"

"My fourth grandson, I heard that you are the smartest among all my grandsons. Can't you still see it now?"

Dou Bin's expression and tone were as amiable as ever, but in Tuoba Luguan's eyes, he had become ferocious and terrifying.

At this moment, Tuoba Luguan finally understood it completely, but he still asked with the last trace of luck:

"Could it be possible? Could it be that you all defected to the Han Kingdom?"

Apart from the Han Kingdom, he really couldn't think of any other force that could make a tribe as big as the Luhui tribe surrender.

Dou Bin praised:

"Let me tell you, the fourth grandson is indeed the most alert in mind."

Tuoba Luguan did not want this praise at all.

His eyes fell on Tuoba Desert Khan again, with fear and anger:

"Brother, do you really want us to exterminate our clan?"

He could understand why the Bald Ministry took refuge with the Han people.

After all, they were expelled from the clan at worst.

Even if Lu Hui did not join the Han people, he could still understand it.

After all, it is not as big a tribe as the Luhui tribe, and it is still the former suzerain tribe of Suotou.

In addition, my two uncles have always been prejudiced against Suo Tou.

Now that Suotou wants to make Wuluhui tribe surrender, it is not impossible for them to take refuge with the Han people out of resentment.

But what Tuoba Luguan didn't expect was that the eldest brother not only got involved with the Tufa and Wuluhui tribes, but even defected to the Han people.

Now Tuoba Xianbei and Hebei Sima Yi are allies, but they are enemies of Han. Don't you know this?

I remembered that this was the time when the clan was at its weakest, and most of the warriors in the clan were gone. If the enemy attacked at this time, the consequences would be...

Tuoba Desert Khan just sighed when he heard this.

It’s just because I don’t want our Tuoba Xianbei to be exterminated, so I do this!

Fourth brother, haven’t you heard of the name Feng Wenshen?

If I don't do this, do you think our Tuoba clan can escape this difficulty?

Our whole family will eventually become slaves of the Han people, and there will be no Tuoba clan in the world from now on.

On the contrary, if I betray my tribe and join the Han people, I will be able to save as many tribesmen as possible in the coming disaster.

Naturally, Tuoba Desert Khan would not explain such embarrassing matters to Tuoba Luguan.

And he doesn't need to explain.

Facing Tuoba Luguan's questioning, Tuoba Desert Khan's expression remained unchanged and his tone was calm:

"Fourth brother, when my lord allowed my second brother to hunt me down, did you ever persuade my lord and my second brother that this was fratricide and the way to create chaos?"

Tuoba Luguan was speechless for a moment.

On the other hand, the bald man standing beside him suddenly said with a smile:

"Tuoba Liwei claims that his destiny is his own. He has always liked to kill each other. I'm afraid he doesn't know what the way to create chaos is."

When Tuoba Luguan heard this, he immediately glared at Bald Khotan: "You..."

The bald Khotan looked at Tuoba Luguan sarcastically: "Did I say something wrong?"

Seeing the bald man standing, Tuoba Luguan thought about the bald man again, and he couldn't help but be speechless again.

"Okay," Dou Bin raised a hand, interrupting the quarrel among several people. He looked at Tuoba Luguan, "Luguan, you have always been smart and know that talking about this matter is useless."

"Because you are my grandson, I gave you the opportunity to stand here. Otherwise, all of you, a hundred people, would have been dead from the beginning."

Hearing Dou Bin's words, Tuoba Luguan wanted to show his integrity.

But when he saw his uncle Dou Suhou's eagerness to try, and his cousin Bald-haired Khotan's hand already pressed on the handle of the knife, he finally complied.

Because he knew that his grandfather might let him go for the sake of his mother.

But my uncle doesn't do that.
