Chapter 738 Send an envoy to Xianbei(2/2)
Hong Gang gritted his teeth, his heart full of helplessness and anger.
He knew that he was in a dilemma now. If he rejected the kindness of the Prime Minister of the Central Plains, it might cause dissatisfaction in the Central Plains and cause trouble for himself.
But if he accepts... his face became very ugly, and for a moment, he didn't know how to make a decision.
Finally, Hong Gang's eyes flashed a few times, gritted his teeth, and finally agreed.
In fact, he had already had a plan in his mind at this moment. He thought to himself: first agree temporarily, stabilize the situation, and then quietly send someone to kill Tuoba Tianlong. In this way, it can not only solve the troubles in front of him, but also achieve his own goals.
Seeing him agreeing, a bright smile instantly appeared on Chen Meng's face.
At this time, Chen Meng asked Hong Gang with a serious expression that they must go to Tuoba Tianlong's room immediately to protect him and ensure his safety.
Hong Gang suddenly felt a special anger in his heart. What does this mean? Isn’t this public expression of management of the Xianbei? The Central Plains are too polite.
Hong Gang frowned, and strong dissatisfaction was revealed in his eyes. He straightened his body and protested loudly: "We Xianbei people have their own warriors and their own abilities to protect Lord Tuoba Tianlong. Why did the Central Plains interfere? This is really unacceptable."
Chen Meng was unmoved and just responded coldly: "This is the Prime Minister's order and there is no doubt. The situation is now complicated, and in order to ensure the safety of Tuoba Tianlong, we must take action."
Hong Gang glared at Chen Meng, clenched his fists, as if he could punch him at any time.
"We Xianbei people never need outsiders to protect our leaders. We have enough strength and courage. The intervention of you Central Plains will only make things more complicated."
Chen Meng narrowed his eyes slightly, with a hint of majesty in his tone: "Do you know that nowadays, the forces of all parties are complicated, and Tuoba Tianlong's safety is crucial. The Prime Minister's move is also for the sake of the overall situation. If Tuoba Tianlong makes any mistakes, the consequences will be unimaginable."
Hong Gang was silent for a moment, but the anger in his heart was still difficult to calm down.
He knew very well the importance of Tuoba Tianlong to the Xianbei people.
"Even if the situation is dangerous, we Xianbei people will use our lives to protect Lord Tuoba Tianlong. We don't need the protection of the Central Plains people, please come back." Hong Gang said firmly.
Chen Meng shook his head, "This is not something you can decide. We must execute the Prime Minister's orders to ensure the safety of Tuoba Tianlong. If you insist on blocking it, it is to disobey the Prime Minister's order, and you should be clear about the consequences."
Hong Gang's eyes widened, his chest was fluctuating violently, and he said loudly: "The Xianbei people have always been a free nation and are not dominated by the people of the Central Plains! I will never agree to this."
His words were full of determination and indomitableness, like an unshakable mountain.
Chen Meng's face also darkened, and a sharpness flashed in his eyes, "Since that's the case, let's compete. Even if you detain us soldiers here, have you ever thought that when the Central Plains army arrives, can you Xianbei bear the anger of the Central Plains army?"
His tone was threatening, as if a sharp sword hanging above his head.
Hong Gang's anger was completely ignited, and he shouted angrily: "Central Plains is simply unreasonable! We Xianbei people have never provoked you, so why do we force us like this?"
His eyes were burning with angry flames, as if he wanted to burn everything in front of him.
The two sides were in a stalemate, and the atmosphere was so tense that it made people breathless.
Hong Gang held the weapon in his hand tightly, his heart full of dissatisfaction and anger with the people of Central Plains.
He knew that if there was a conflict, the Xianbei people might face huge disasters, but he would never allow the Xianbei people to be controlled by the Central Plains people at will.
Chen Meng did not give in at all. He knew very well that he was shouldering the Prime Minister's order and must ensure the safety of Tuoba Tianlong.
He looked at Hong Gang and was also planning the next move in his heart. If Hong Gang really resisted desperately, then they might have to take tough measures.
Hong Gang stood there, his face changed several times, and his thoughts surged.
He knew very well that with the current strength of the Xianbei, he could not confront the powerful Central Plains head-on. If the conflict really triggered, the Xianbei would definitely fall into a doomed place.
After a moment, Hong Gang suddenly burst into laughter. The laughter was a little helpless, but he tried hard to hide the inner turmoil.
"Haha, it was just a joke just now." He said loudly, trying to ease the tension.
Chen Meng was slightly stunned. Although he had doubts in his heart, he also breathed a sigh of relief.
He looked at Hong Gang with a hint of vigilance in his eyes. "Since it's a joke, that's fine. I hope you can keep your promise and take us to Tuoba Tianlong's room."
Hong Gang nodded, "Don't worry, I, Xianbei people, keep my word. Come with me." After that, he turned around and took big steps, and walked towards Tuoba Tianlong's room with Chen Meng and others.
Along the way, Hong Gang's mood was very complicated.
He felt helpless about the situation of the Xianbei, but had to make compromises for the interests of the entire nation.
He secretly swore that one day, the Xianbei people would become stronger and no longer be dominated by anyone.
Chen Meng and others followed Hong Gang closely, always keeping alert.
They didn't know if Hong Gang was really just joking or had other plans. But at this moment, they could only take one step at a time.
Finally, they arrived at the door of Tuoba Tianlong's room.
Hong Gang stopped, turned around and said to Chen Meng: "This is Lord Tuoba Tianlong's room. I hope you can keep your promise and just protect Lord Tuoba Tianlong and not interfere with the internal affairs of the Xianbei."
Chen Meng nodded solemnly, "We are just to ensure the safety of Tuoba Tianlong, and there will be no other improper actions."
Hong Gang looked at Chen Meng deeply, then pushed open the door and walked in with Chen Meng and others.
In the room, Tuoba Tianlong was lying quietly.
Chen Meng looked around Tuoba Tianlong's room, and then decisively began to deploy.
