Chapter 617: Detecting anomalies, the leader

In the desolate grasslands, snow filled the sky, and the entire grassland had long been covered in a vast expanse of white.

In a hidden location, a group of people were cooking their lunch.

The rising steam disappeared immediately upon contact with the cold wind.

The bone-chilling cold could not dispel the smiles on the faces of these busy women.

"Every winter, I worry about how to fill my stomach."

"Thanks to the leader, we finally snatched enough grain and fodder from these Great Qin people to get us through the entire winter."

An old woman with red cheeks said excitedly.

"Amo, when Kuachi grows up, I must let him stay by the leader's side."

Around her, a young woman spoke up.

And the Kuachi that this young woman spoke of was her eldest son.

Helian Bobo, who was praised by this group of women, was sitting in the barracks with a gloomy face.

"Why hasn't Lu Ke returned yet?"

Helian Bobo's sharp, hawk-like eyes swept over the several subordinates below.

One of the men seemed to have a hint of hesitation on his face.

He was somewhat conflicted about whether he should reveal Lu Ke's whereabouts.

"Pake, where exactly did Lu Ke go?"

Helian Bobo knew at first glance that this person must know the truth.

"Leader, this matter really has nothing to do with me."

"It was Lu Ke, that brat, who coveted the abundance of grain in the hands of the Great Qin people and headed toward the Great Qin border again."

"Actually, this isn't his first time going; counting the time, he should have returned long ago."

Pake was also helpless.

Although he had also complained with Lu Ke about Helian Bobo's caution.

But he also considered himself to be following Helian Bobo's orders.

Since Helian Bobo demanded a retreat and not to appear on the Great Qin border anymore, he had been suppressing his own temper.

But Lu Ke, that brat, was clearly a bit too arrogant.

Even though Helian Bobo issued an order for them not to appear rashly on the Great Qin border.

But Lu Ke, that brat, turned a deaf ear and was still scouting which village had grain.

Just as Pake finished speaking, he felt a sense of danger approaching him.

The next moment, a dagger slid past her cheek.

Pake only felt a wave of cold chill on her cheek, followed by a stinging pain.

Warm liquid seemed to be flowing on her cheek.

"It seems I, this leader, still cannot make you all convinced..."

"That is why you dare to do such things behind my back."

"Pake, you should know our rules; since I have defeated you, you must unconditionally obey my orders."

Helian Bobo said coldly.

"Helian Bobo, this matter really has nothing to do with me."

"It was Lu Ke, that brat, who was too arrogant and insisted on appearing on the Great Qin border."

Pake explained hurriedly, saying that she had never tried to provoke the tribe's rules.

If everyone really listened to Helian Bobo, I am afraid both she and Lu Ke, that brat, would be expelled from the tribe.

After all, once a leader has been chosen, one cannot defy the leader's orders.

The leader who is born possesses absolute power of speech over the entire tribe.

When the leader has not committed a major mistake, no one has the qualifications to provoke his status.

Unless your strength can surpass his.

Moreover, Helian Bobo had previously led the entire tribe to bring back a large batch of grain and fodder.

Now he is even more respected and loved by all the tribesmen.

If it got out at this time that she was provoking Helian Bobo's majesty.

Pake felt that she probably wouldn't have a good ending.

Looking at Pake, who was explaining hurriedly, the coldness in Helian Bobo's eyes receded a bit.

"Since you also know what Lu Ke has been doing recently."

"Then go and bring him back to me."

Helian Bobo said coldly.

Upon receiving Helian Bobo's order, Pake hurried out of the camp. ===== CHAPTER 619 =====
