Chapter 149: Characters from various countries, riding horses!

Tuoba Shuyi's face is hidden in the shadows, his breathing is calm, and his expression cannot be seen.

Just at this time!

A palace guard rushes in and reports loudly:

"Report—Reporting to the Emperor and several lords, three riders appeared in the west, one of whom is wearing a ghost mask, accompanied by two old men."

Once these words are spoken, Tuoba Shuyi nods slightly, secretly thinking in his heart.

The ghost mask, this special symbol, is rare in the world, and it appears here at this moment.

Who it is is self-evident!

The Qian-Yuan Empress is here.

The scout's words have not stopped, and he continues: "Report, there is also the east, four riders are riding here, they are wearing the costumes of Han and Chu."

Tuoba Shuyi lightly responds.

People from Han and Chu are here, don't know who it is?

The appearance of these two groups of people undoubtedly adds a few variables to the already complex situation.

It is also within expectation!

The figures who truly hold power in the four countries gathered in Northern Wind, just waiting for that last person.

It is also the initiator of this situation!

Gu Yi had long expected it, but at this moment, he cannot help but feel a wave in his heart.

The hand warmer he held had long lost its temperature, but he seemed not to notice, still holding it in his hand.

The four people in the hall fall into silence again!

Gao Wenxiao's eyes flash with thoughtful light.

Tuoba Yuan is obviously a bit impatient, he wants to ask his brother Tuoba Shuyi several times, but after seeing the white hair on his head and the solemn expression on his face, he swallows the words back.

He can only pace back and forth in the hall to relieve the anxiety and uneasiness in his heart.

Just at this time!

The sound of hurried footsteps and the report of the palace guard come from outside the door.

The four people stare tightly.

"Report—Reporting to the Emperor and several lords, three riders appeared in the south, one of whom seems to be the Fourth Prince."

Fourth Prince, Tuoba Hongyan!

It is also he who took Tuoba Shuyi to find Lu Chen this time.

Tuoba Shuyi and Gu Yi hear this, and they both breathe a sigh of relief!

The four people in the hall finally have a reaction.

Tuoba Shuyi in the seat of honor slowly opens his eyes and gets up from the side of the case.

Gu Yi lightly throws the hand warmer to the side of the table and also gets up.

Tuoba Yuan's eyes flash with joy, and he cannot wait to say:

"Your Majesty, Lu Chen is here!"

Tuoba Shuyi hears this, just slowly nods, and repeats: "Yes, Lu Chen is here."

His tone is calm and deep.

Gao Wenxiao shakes his head and smiles: "Lu Chen is here!"

The three of them are all one sentence!

But the meaning is completely different.

Gu Yi hears the regret and mockery in Gao Wenxiao's mouth.

Gu Yi shakes his head.

The Lu Chen of that year fought hundreds of battles, and in the situation of the army pressing on the border and having no soldiers to use, he formed the Lu Army, step by step, changing the general trend of the world!

There has never been a false name in the world!

Gu Yi instructs left and right:

"Set up a banquet at Gaoque Tower, there must be no mistakes!"

The four people walk out of the Military Affairs Office and rush to the gate of Chongyuan City.

As the gate slowly pulls open!

Tuoba Shuyi, with dozens of personal guards and Gu Yi's three people, stands at the city gate in person.

Outside the city of Guyuan, three teams of people are slowly approaching, each team emitting an unusual atmosphere.

Tuoba Shuyi and the other four also have no relaxed posture.

Waiting quietly!

The guards changing shifts on Chongyuan City are also looking out at the city gate, and finally are replaced by the personal guards arranged by Tuoba Yuan.

For a time!

The city gate is wide open and calm!

The three riders in the west are the closest to the city gate; they seem to be deliberately slowing down, finally stopping not far away.

The leader is wearing a ghost mask, making it difficult for people to peek at his true face.

The two old men accompanying him each have distinct characteristics.

The thin old man is leisurely smoking a dry pipe.

The tall old man is white-faced and beardless.

If there were people from Qian-Yuan, they would definitely recognize the two; they are Qian-Yuan Prime Minister Lady Gongsun Pingxi and the Chief Eunuch.

Wu Ying, wearing a ghost mask, pulls the horse's head, seemingly waiting for something, her gaze sweeping toward the rear.

There are four people coming from the east.

Two of them are leaders!

The most outstanding person is the middle-aged man on the left.

Although he has entered middle age, that noble young master temperament has not diminished at all.

He is tall and straight, his green shirt fluttering, and the double-fish jade pendant hanging from his waist sways lightly in the breeze, adding a bit of elegance.

His face is exceptionally handsome, especially those peach blossom eyes, full of affection.

Tuoba Shuyi frowns slightly; others don't know this person.

He naturally knows!

The Emperor of Korea, Yuwen Yan.

He was known for his beautiful appearance in his youth.

The middle-aged man in Confucian shirt on the right, his image is completely different from the conventional scholar; he is strong, and the sword hanging from his waist is slender and unique.

His face is bold, his eyebrows and hair are all white, but those eyes flash with essence, extremely deterrent.

Although his attire is a Confucian shirt, his every move reveals the boldness of a military general, as if a military general has put on a scholar's coat.

Lady Gongsun Pingxi on the side sees this, the corner of his mouth hooks a cold smile, and he puts the dry pipe in his hand on his waist.

This middle-aged man in Confucian shirt is his cousin in name.

Lady Gongsun Zhongshu!

The actual ruler of Chu State today.

Lady Gongsun Zhongshu controls Chu State with a prime minister's seal, and his private seal even exceeds the Son of Heaven's seal, which shows his great influence in Chu State.

At the same time, he is also the founder of Lady Gongsun Confucianism, having his own unique insights and deep attainments in Confucianism.

Actively advocating "Confucianism enters the world, teaching not only the people, but also the Son of Heaven."

The imperial lineage of Chu State has had the Son of Heaven ascend the throne young for hundreds of years, and die before reaching adulthood.

Four or five generations of young emperors.

The reason for this is unknown.

This has also led to the loss of imperial power and ministers holding power.

However!

The relationship between Lady Gongsun Pingxi and Lady Gongsun Zhongshu is not a simple cousin relationship, but a deep hatred.

In those years, Gongsun Pingxi was originally the head of the Bailu Academy, and even had the hope of hanging the prime minister's seal of Chu State.

All this was broken by Lady Gongsun Zhongshu's pushing behind the scenes.

Lady Gongsun Zhongshu is an illegitimate son of the Lady Gongsun family.

Lady Gongsun Pingxi is the eldest legitimate son and the eldest branch, finally falling into the status of a slave.

Falling from the most powerful clan in Chu State.

Who can know the twists and turns!

Lady Gongsun Pingxi smiles and says: "Truly my good cousin."

Wu Ying seems to have noticed, smiling and saying to Lady Gongsun Pingxi:

"Sir, do you need my help?"

Lady Gongsun Pingxi hears this and naturally knows what she means.

This Lady Gongsun Zhongshu not only has deep learning but also has the power of a country.

Most of his martial arts cultivation has probably reached the realm of a Great Grandmaster.

The old man's face changes from his previous style, solemnly shaking his head:

"Thank you, Your Majesty, but the old man will win him upright!"

"Whatever status, power, cultivation, the old man will give them to him!"

Lady Gongsun Pingxi touches his stomach and smiles:

"What's in the old man's stomach is the strategy to govern the country and the method to save the people; he can't steal it."

Wu Ying smiles slightly, her gaze involuntarily cast toward the not-so-far distance, focusing on the three people walking leisurely from the south.

Not only is she like this!

Tuoba Shuyi and the other four are also staring, tightly watching the three riders coming slowly.

Yuwen Yan and Lady Gongsun Zhongshu also turn solemnly, joining this gaze.

Among the three riders, one is the leader.

Coming from the south!

He rides on a fiery red horse, wearing a bamboo hat.

Slowly appearing in everyone's field of vision!
