Chapter 739 Hong Gang Can’t Sleep

The soldiers responded in unison and quickly stood at their respective posts, their eyes full of vigilance.

After arranging the guard matters here, Chen Meng looked at the other soldiers again, "You guys, go back and invite Lord Song Shuwen quickly. Report the situation here in detail, without any mistakes."

The soldiers took the order and immediately turned around and walked away quickly, and their figures soon disappeared from sight.

Chen Meng stood in the room, with a lot of thoughts in his mind.

He knew that this mission was important and could not afford to make mistakes. He must always be vigilant, waiting for Song Shuwen's arrival, and discuss the next steps together.

At this time, outside the room, Hong Gang looked at Chen Meng's series of actions. Although he was dissatisfied, he also understood that this was a helpless move under the current situation.

Chen Meng stood there, full of doubts.

He really couldn't figure out why the prime minister didn't just let Song Shuwen come with them this time?

In his opinion, doing so would clearly waste a lot of time.

However, on second thought, the prime minister has always been far-sighted, and his arrangement must have its deep meaning.

Chen Meng frowned, trying to think about the prime minister's intention behind this move. Perhaps, the prime minister was testing their abilities?

Or, did Song Shuwen have another important mission? Various speculations kept emerging in Chen Meng's mind, but he could not determine the real reason.

He sighed lightly and decided not to dwell on it.

Since the prime minister arranged it this way, they only need to follow the order. I believe that in the process of things developing, the prime minister's intention will gradually become clear.

Chen Meng calmed down, refocused on the current task, and prepared to meet unknown challenges.

It was late at night, and Hong Gang lay in bed, but he had no sleep. His heart was full of worries, tossing and turning.

He kept thinking, what if the Central Plains doctor came, with his superb medical skills, if he could see Tuoba Tianlong's illness, what would happen?

Now, there were soldiers guarding closely around, and he could not take any action against Tuoba Tianlong at all.

Hong Gang felt as if he was in a dilemma and it was difficult to break free.

He sat up, frowning, thinking hard about countermeasures.

Is it possible to find a scapegoat in the end? But is this really the best way?

Hong Gang's heart was full of contradictions and uneasiness.

Outside the window, the night was as dark as ink and silent. Hong Gang's thoughts were like this endless night, chaotic and confused.

He didn't know where to go, so he could only suffer alone in this darkness, waiting for the choice of fate.

Xiyu had been waiting for news from Xianbei, and was concerned about the situation on the Xianbei side.

Time seemed to become particularly long, and every minute and every second made him suffer.

Finally, a soldier hurried back to the mansion and brought the situation on the Xianbei side.

Xiyu hurried forward and listened carefully to the soldier's report.

The soldier told the situation he had learned one by one, and Xiyu frowned and pondered from time to time, and nodded slightly from time to time.

After listening to the soldier's report, Xiyu asked the soldier to rest first and said to come back tomorrow.

Afterwards, he had a plan in mind and decided to let the soldiers take Song Shuwen to Xianbei tomorrow.

The morning sun shone in the courtyard, and Xiyu sent someone to call Song Shuwen early. After Song Shuwen arrived, Xiyu told him about the Xianbei with a serious face.

After hearing this, Song Shuwen frowned slightly and asked: "Prime Minister, if that's the case, why don't you let me go with the first batch of soldiers?"

Xiyu looked at Song Shuwen and explained patiently: "The first time I went there was just to inquire about the situation, and I didn't fully understand the situation. If I rashly let you go with me, it would only make you run more and increase your hardship."

Then, Xiyu clapped his hands, and the dark guards appeared quietly like ghosts.

Xiyu solemnly ordered the dark guards: "This time when you go to Xianbei, you must protect Song Shuwen well, and there must be no mistakes."

The dark guards bowed their heads respectfully and promised.

Song Shuwen looked at the dark guards, and a warm feeling surged in his heart.

He knew that Xiyu cared about and valued him, and he also understood the difficulty of this mission.

He secretly made up his mind to live up to the trust and contribute his own strength to solve the Xianbei issue.

Song Shuwen and the soldiers set out on the journey, their faces were resolute and their steps were firm. However, they did not know that a conspiracy was quietly brewing in the dark.

In the Xianbei land, Hong Gang suddenly came up with a plan that day.

He knew that if Song Shuwen entered the Xianbei, it might ruin his big plan, so he secretly ordered people to kill him on the way Song Shuwen came.

Hong Gang's eyes were cold, and he said in his heart: "Song Shuwen must not be allowed to enter the Xianbei."

At this time, Song Shuwen and others were unaware of the impending danger. They continued to move forward and headed towards the Xianbei.

Song Shuwen and others moved forward all the way. Although the atmosphere was a little solemn, everyone was full of a sense of mission.

They did not know that the danger was approaching step by step.

The killers sent by Hong Gang were hidden in the mountains and forests on both sides of the road. Their eyes were as sharp as eagles, staring at the distance, waiting for Song Shuwen and his party to appear.

These killers were all extraordinary and ruthless, and they were just waiting for the best opportunity to strike.

Finally, Song Shuwen and his men appeared in sight.

The killers exchanged glances with each other and quietly tightened their weapons.

When Song Shuwen and his men approached, the killers pounced out like hungry wolves. For a moment, the shouts of killing shook the sky.

The secret guards were drawn into the battle group like a black whirlwind, and fought fiercely with the killers.

The flashing of knives, the flying of swords, and the sound of metal collisions were endless.

A dark guard shuttled among the killers like a ghost, swinging his long sword and stabbing the killers' vital points accurately.

The killers were not to be outdone, waving their weapons and fighting desperately.

But the dark guards were obviously stronger, and their attacks were fierce and deadly, making it difficult for the killers to resist.

Song Shuwen and the soldiers watched the battle nervously, feeling excited about the bravery of the dark guards and worried about the tense situation.

They held their weapons tightly, ready to join the battle and support the dark guards at any time.

"Kill!" A dark guard shouted, and the sword attacked the killers like a storm.

The killers were frightened by this powerful momentum and retreated one after another.

But they also understood that if they retreated at this time, they would surely die.

So they mustered up their courage again and fought a desperate battle with the dark guards.

The battle entered a white-hot stage, and both sides were trying their best.

The secret guards also had some wounds on their bodies, but they did not retreat and continued to fight tenaciously.

They had only one belief in their hearts, that is, to protect Song Shuwen and complete the mission.

In this fierce battle, time seemed to freeze.

After a thrilling battle, the secret guards finally subdued the killers one by one with their excellent skills and tenacious will.

The secret guards had cold eyes and were full of anger. They had to find out who was behind the scenes.

A secret guard asked the killer in a stern voice: "Tell me! Who sent you?"

However, the killers gritted their teeth and would rather die than surrender.

Seeing this, the secret guards began to torture these killers mercilessly, trying to force them to tell the truth.

The cruel torture continued, and the killers suffered great pain.

Finally, one killer could no longer bear it, and his psychological defense line completely collapsed.

He said in a trembling voice: "It was... Hong Gang who sent us."

Upon hearing this news, Song Shuwen and the secret guards looked even more solemn.

The secret guards took the killer who told the truth and marched towards Xianbei aggressively.

They were full of anger and vowed to settle accounts with Hong Gang.

In the Xianbei tent, Hong Gang suddenly felt an indescribable uneasiness.

He felt that something seemed to have happened to the killers. This feeling of uneasiness followed him like a shadow, making him feel uneasy. Finally, Hong Gang decided to go out and take a look.

He walked out of the tent, and the sun was shining brightly outside.

However, Hong Gang could not feel the warmth of the sun at all, but felt that his heart was shrouded by a shadow.

He looked around uneasily, and the wind blew gently, but it could not blow away the haze in his heart.

Just when Hong Gang was full of anxiety, Chen Meng came over. Chen Meng saw that Hong Gang's face was not right, and cold sweat was on his forehead. He couldn't help but ask in confusion: "Why are you sweating so much? What happened?"

Hong Gang's heart tightened, and he smiled awkwardly, and quickly covered up: "No... nothing happened."

His eyes were a little evasive, and he didn't dare to look at Chen Meng.

Chen Meng frowned slightly, obviously not believing Hong Gang's answer. He carefully observed Hong Gang's expression, trying to find some clues from his look.

However, Hong Gang tried to stay calm and not let his emotions show.

The sun was still shining hotly on the earth, but the atmosphere at this moment became a little weird.

Hong Gang pretended to be calm and continued to move forward, but the tension and uneasiness in his heart made him feel that his clothes were almost soaked with cold sweat.

His heart was full of hatred for Xi Yu at this moment, and he secretly complained: "You are too long, why do you manage Xianbei's affairs like this?"

He walked while feeling angry in his heart, thinking that Xi Yu's interference disrupted his plan.

Hong Gang gritted his teeth, and various coping strategies kept emerging in his mind, trying to get rid of the current predicament. But the resentment towards Xi Yu followed him like a shadow, making him feel heavier.

Hong Gang walked restlessly, and after a few steps, he suddenly heard a burst of hurried horse hooves coming from far away.

He was startled and looked up. He was shocked.

He saw a group of people from the Central Plains rushing over, and the assassins who were sent to kill Song Shuwen were brought back in a mess.

Hong Gang's face turned pale instantly.

The sun was still dazzling, but Hong Gang felt like he was falling into an ice cellar. He stood there, nervously watching the people from the Central Plains approaching, his heart full of anxiety and uneasiness.

The soldier looked at Hong Gang with a puzzled look on his face and asked, "What do these killers mean?"

Hong Gang's eyes flickered, pretending to be confused, and hurriedly said, "I don't know these people, who are they?"

The soldier obviously didn't believe Hong Gang's words, and his eyes became more severe, "Hong Gang, you'd better tell the truth."

Then, the soldier turned to the killer and ordered, "Tell me the relevant situation again."

The killers looked at each other, and under the pressure of the soldier, the killer who first told the truth trembled again and said, "Yes... Hong Gang sent us to intercept and kill the people from the Central Plains."

Hong Gang's face instantly became extremely ugly. He tried to quibble, but the soldier had heard the truth.

At this time, Hong Gang fell into an extremely passive state. He didn't know how to deal with the next situation.

The atmosphere around became extremely tense, as if a storm was coming.

The soldier stared at Hong Gang closely and asked again, "What else do you have to say? Although I am just a soldier, I am also the prime minister's man and have the right to question you."

A trace of panic flashed in Hong Gang's eyes, but he quickly calmed down and said loudly: "These killers are slandering people, and I never said they wanted to kill people." His tone was strong, trying to cover up his guilty conscience.

The soldier was unmoved. He sneered and said, "The evidence is solid, but you still want to deny it? Hong Gang, you'd better tell the truth, otherwise you'll be responsible for the consequences."

Beads of sweat appeared on Hong Gang's forehead, and he knew he was in a desperate situation.

But he was still unwilling to give in and continued to argue: "I was really wronged. These killers must have been instructed by others to deliberately frame me."

However, the soldiers no longer believed his words.

Seeing that Hong Gang still refused to admit it, the killers became furious and insulted Hong Gang one after another.

"You obviously did it, but you still don't admit it. What a coward!"

Hong Gang's face was ashen, but he still stubbornly insisted on his statement: "I haven't done it, so don't slander me."

The soldier looked at the stalemate, thought for a moment and said: "Okay, in that case, forget it. Let these killers go."

Song Shuwen felt very strange at the side, and was about to ask, but the soldier whispered to him: "Anyway, we have smashed Hong Gang's conspiracy, and it is useless to keep these killers. Moreover, letting them go will also make Hong Gang I just can’t figure out our details anymore.”

After hearing this, Song Shuwen felt it made sense and nodded slightly.

Hong Gang looked at the killer who was let go, feeling full of unwillingness and anger, but there was nothing he could do about it.

Hong Gang quickly turned his gaze to Song Shuwen, with a hint of surprise and uneasiness in his eyes.

He asked eagerly: "Is this the miracle doctor?" The soldier nodded slightly and confirmed Song Shuwen's identity.

Song Shuwen snorted coldly, full of disdain for Hong Gang's attitude. With a smile on his face, Hong Gang quickly apologized to Song Shuwen: "Miracle Doctor Song, I really didn't know that you were murdered. This really has nothing to do with me. But I'm relieved to see that Doctor Song is fine."

Song Shuwen didn't want to get too entangled with Hong Gang. After all, he had more important tasks to complete.

"Hmph, it's best that it has nothing to do with you." Song Shuwen dropped these words and ignored Hong Gang.

Hong Gang laughed, trying to ease the awkward and tense atmosphere.

"Divine Doctor Song, please come quickly, everyone please come quickly." He greeted everyone enthusiastically.

Song Shuwen glanced at Hong Gang expressionlessly and stepped forward together with the soldiers.

After everyone walked away, the smile on Hong Gang's face disappeared instantly, replaced by an extremely ugly look.

His heart was full of annoyance and uneasiness, and the failure to intercept this time put him into an extremely passive situation.

Song Shuwen stepped into the land of Xianbei and started coughing after only a few steps.

Seeing this, the soldier asked with concern: "Miracle Doctor Song, what's going on?"

Song Shuwen frowned slightly and said softly: "Maybe he is not accustomed to the climate."

Just then, Hong Gang walked in.

After hearing Song Shuwen's words, he immediately ordered his servants: "Hurry and prepare tea, milk, etc. to quench the thirst of Divine Doctor Song."

The servants heard the sound and hurried to prepare.

Hong Gang looked at Song Shuwen with a smile on his face, but there were elusive emotions in his eyes.

"Divine Doctor Song, it's been a hard journey. Let's drink something to relieve the discomfort."

Song Shuwen looked at Hong Gang, although he had doubts in his heart, he did not refuse.

After a while, the servant brought tea and milk.

Song Shuwen picked up the teacup, took a sip, and felt the warm liquid slide down his throat.

The cough seems to have subsided somewhat.

With a false smile on his face, Hong Gang continued to speak politely: "Doctor Song, I'm really sorry to trouble you this time. You took the trouble to come to Xianbei, and we can't thank you enough."

His tone was extremely sincere, as if the previous conspiracy had never happened.

Then, Hong Gang said: "When Dr. Song returns, please give me my regards to Prime Minister Xi Yu of the Central Plains."

Song Shuwen nodded slightly, his expression still calm.

He knew in his heart that Hong Gang's words were just polite words, and there might be a deeper conspiracy hidden behind them.

At this time, the atmosphere in the room seemed to be relaxed, but in fact there was an undercurrent.

After a while, Song Shuwen couldn't help coughing again. He frowned and said, "My symptoms of acclimatization are difficult to alleviate for a while. I don't want to waste time, so I'd better go see Tuoba Tianlong quickly."

Hong Gang shook his head slightly and said unhurriedly: "Leader Tuoba's illness is not just a day or two, so there is no rush now. Doctor Song, you'd better have a good rest. When you feel better, we can go for diagnosis and treatment." Not too late."

There was a seemingly concerned smile on his face, but there was a trace of imperceptible nervousness in his eyes.

Song Shuwen said firmly: "No, I can't wait any longer. I'm going to see Leader Tuoba now."

Seeing Song Shuwen's resolute attitude, Hong Gang didn't know how to stop him.

When Hong Gang saw that Song Shuwen was determined to do this, although he was reluctant in every way, he had nothing to do. He had no choice but to reluctantly agree and took Song Shuwen to Tuoba Tianlong's camp.

Soon, they arrived at the entrance of Tuoba Tianlong's camp.

Chen Meng was standing guard outside. When he saw Song Shuwen coming, he nodded slightly and greeted politely.

Song Shuwen also smiled back, feeling a little more favorable towards this serious guard in his heart.

Song Shuwen slowly walked towards the entrance of the camp, about to reveal the mystery of Keba Tianlong's condition.

There were several soldiers standing in the room, their expressions were solemn and the atmosphere was solemn.

Hong Gang brought Song Shuwen to Tuoba Tianlong's bed. Looking at the pale and unconscious Tuoba leader, Hong Gang sighed deeply.

"Dr. Song, I'm sorry to bother you this time. You must cure Tuoba leader's illness."

Song Shuwen looked at Tuoba Tianlong on the bed, and a sense of responsibility surged in his heart.

He nodded slightly, and began to examine Tuoba Tianlong's condition with a serious look.

He carefully observed Tuoba Tianlong's complexion and pulse, not missing any details. (End of this chapter)
