Chapter 203 Tuoba Xiong.

"So that you know, sir, I am the eldest disciple of Xihu's national teacher, and also the leader of the right army, Tuoba Xiong!"

Li An nodded and gestured to continue.

Tuoba Xiong was slightly stunned. He thought that these Northern Qi Qing people were used to talking about things in a roundabout way before they came up! For example, how is your master doing recently? Or the general situation in the world, etc.
Seeing that Ang Lee didn't want to follow those red tapes, Tuoba Xiong spoke his mind.

"Sir, I think you have figured it out. I have a rough life and a deep hatred! And my mortal enemy is still alive and well, and is becoming more and more powerful and unfathomable! Yes, he is my master - Yelu Xuan!"

Seeing Li Ang's calm expression, Tuoba Xiong couldn't help but feel relieved.

It seems that we have found the right person to find this Northern Qi national teacher!

"This person's mind is unpredictable. He killed my whole family but accepted me as his disciple. Not only did he not kill me to prevent future troubles, but he also taught me martial arts. It seems that he is not afraid of my revenge in the future! Maybe this is the confidence and confidence of a master!"

Tuoba Xiong sighed and continued, "If that's the case, it's fine. That old villain hasn't shown any killing intent towards me yet. Now that the Western Hu have just been unified, there are concerns about the instability of various forces within the country and powerful enemies from other countries around. Although I am not talented, I am still somewhat useful. Originally, this matter was not so urgent, but recently something unexpected happened, which made me even more worried!"

Seeing that Tuoba Xiong had explained his ideas clearly and given so many hints, Li An's left hand hidden in his long sleeves had already calculated more things.

He whispered, "Your junior fellow apprentice?"

Although it was a question, the tone was very affirmative.

Tuoba Xiong first cupped his hands in admiration, thinking that there really are extraordinary people in this world, it is better to meet them in person than to hear about them, and he can know everything about the world without leaving his home!

"It's my fellow apprentice Qu Han!"

He took off the robe on his left shoulder with his right hand, revealing a piece of bronze skin.

He was wearing nothing inside. Although it was spring and the breeze was no longer so biting, it was still a bit chilly. But the man in front of him was also at the ninth level, and could be called the second best person in Xihu country. Naturally, he was not afraid of the slight chill.

Tuoba Xiong's action was a little sudden, causing Zhao Tong'er to accidentally glance at his skin. She quickly turned her head slightly, only her ears moved slightly, obviously she was still paying attention to what he said, wondering in her heart what was the reason that she could not get any useful information from him?
"This skin is so rough!" Zhao Tong'er thought to herself.

"Feel sorry!"

Seeing Zhao Tong'er's behavior, Tuoba Xiong realized that his actions were a little inappropriate. There was no need to be cautious here. Men and women were still very conservative. He had to act carefully in the future to avoid offending Li An.

If Zhao Tong'er knew about Tuoba Xiong's mental activity, she would definitely sneer. You don't know that my master and mistress were like that just now.
How can it be called open?
Seeing that Li An did not show any displeasure, Tuoba Xiong pointed to his left arm and continued, "This wound was caused by my junior brother. In the past two years, his skills have greatly increased, and his cultivation has become more and more advanced! Although he is still at the ninth level like me, both the quality of his true energy and the strange moves show that he has had a fortuitous encounter!"

Needless to say, there was no such thing as two great generals existing at the same time in Xihu.

It seems that Qu Han, nicknamed Flying Eagle, should also be carrying a blood feud like Tuoba Xiong.

The reason for taking action against Tuoba Xiong was, firstly, for military power, and secondly, perhaps to use Tuoba Xiong as a tool to sharpen his sword?

"As long as he doesn't break through, he won't be able to take revenge!" Li An asked tentatively.

Sure enough, Tuoba Xiong nodded and said, "The reason why he attacked me was to test himself, and secondly, to join forces with me. But I know how powerful the old thief Yelu Xuan is! He and I can't defeat him. We can only rely on tens of thousands of troops to grind him to death!" The wound on his arm seemed to have healed, but he could still feel the pain. "I have a blood feud in my heart, and I can't give up military power no matter what. The idea of ​​two people joining forces is as empty and empty as a castle in the air. His mind has been devoured by hatred and all his rationality. I don't believe he can succeed! Naturally, he won't trust anyone except himself, let alone hand over all the initiative!"

Although Tuoba Xiong was seriously injured in the fight between the two, fortunately Qu Han did not want to make a big deal out of it at this time, so he saved his life.

When the Western Hu's looting of the Northern Barbarians ends, or when Yelu Xuan travels to another country again to plan something, that will be the time for Qu Han to attack him again!
"Please, sir, save me!"

Tuoba Xiong gritted his teeth and said, "If you can kill that old villain Yelu Xuan, I will sell my life to you!"

After hearing this, Li An fell into deep thought.

After a long while, Li An raised his head and asked Tuoba Xiong: "If you are afraid of trouble, why don't you surrender to Northern Qi and kill Yelu Xuan? We can make a long-term plan!"

"No!"

Tuoba Xiong flatly refused, "It's not that I don't believe in your ability. The traces of the battle outside the city that day have not been cleaned up. I also went to check the traces on the scene and know your methods. In addition, the entire Jinyiwei and the Northern Qi Imperial Palace Guards know about what happened that night. It is impossible to hide it from someone like me. I also want to surrender to the Northern Qi, survive and then slowly plan how to take revenge. But in the Western Hu country, my wife who I married a few years ago and my two-year-old son are in the hands of Yelu Xuan!"

Perhaps he knew that too much is as bad as too little. If he killed Tuoba Xiong's relatives again, Yelu Xuan would know that this eldest disciple would risk his life to fight against the enemy, and finally die in his hands!

He is still useful now, so I might as well use his family as hostages so that he can work for me with peace of mind.

And the previous methods could also let his eldest disciple know that he, Yelu Xuan, was capable of ruthless actions!
Tuoba Xiong had no choice but to compromise until now.

Li An nodded, but didn't mention the matter again. The conversation between the two seemed to gradually turn into casual chatting.

"Although you are now the leader of the Right Army, and seem to be in a very high position, second only to one person and above ten thousand people, this is only the instruction of your Great Khan, or to be more precise, Yelu Xuan. He instructed you to take this position, regardless of your achievements and abilities. If one day you are no longer useful, for example, if you are crippled by Qu Han or something, your position will be taken back in an instant."

There was still room for manipulation during wartime, but it is difficult now!

"How many people in the army are loyal to you now?"

Tuoba Xiong pondered in his heart, his face grim and he gritted his teeth and said: "To be conservative, there are three thousand people!"

"so little?"

Li An raised his eyebrows, a little surprised.

You must know that the commander of the Xihu Right Army is considered the top general in the army. He is in charge of basically half of the Xihu's troops. Roughly speaking, there must be at least 200,000 or 300,000 soldiers!
You should know that the Western Hu were similar to the Northern Qi. The people were born and raised on horseback. They usually grazed and sang on the border, and in times of war they mounted horses and became cavalry.

It is no exaggeration to say that everyone is a soldier.

What's more, the grass is growing and the horses are fat. They are still looting and harassing the northern barbarian border and stockpiling supplies to survive the next cold winter. It is still wartime, and the country's military strength is at least hundreds of thousands.

There are only three thousand people, which is definitely not enough!
