Qingfeng's movements finally slowed down a step, looking at the corpse on the ground, he tiptoed back to Gu Beichen.
"What should we do with these bodies?"
Although Qingfeng had noticed something was wrong, he still couldn't make the decision without permission on this kind of thing.
Gu Beichen lowered his eyes and glanced at the corpses on the ground. He stepped forward and used the tip of his sword to lift the objects off their faces. Before he could speak, soldiers surrounded them.
"My lord, you must avenge these tragic deaths of your brothers!"
Although these men in black did not successfully attack in a sneak attack, because they were caught off guard, many more people were killed on the spot than the men in black. It is not surprising that they were too excited.
One person spoke, and many people followed closely and echoed. Gradually, the voice became louder and louder, and everyone's emotions were aroused by this incident.
"Kill Tuoba!"
Seeing the expressions on these people's faces, Gu Beichen didn't speak for a long time. It wasn't until these people lowered their voices involuntarily that Gu Beichen took half a step forward.
His eyes fell directly on the corpse on the ground, and he signaled Qingfeng to step forward and open the mouth of the corpse. Only then did everyone realize that there was nothing in the mouths of these people where tongues should have been!
In other words, these people had their tongues picked out!
Many people subconsciously shuddered after seeing this scene. After all, this look was too scary.
"These kind of people are all mute slaves. It seems they are not from Tuoba country."
In one sentence, everyone who was so excited just now seemed to want to say something, but when they came into contact with Gu Beichen's calm eyes, the words that came to their lips were swallowed alive.
"I wonder what the prince said, what is going on?"
Gu Beichen raised his head and glanced at the person who had just asked. Although he didn't answer, he still took half a step back without realizing it.
"What happened tonight? I will send someone to find out. Before that, the army is forbidden to discuss this matter. If I find out, I will not let you off lightly!"
After hearing these somewhat threatening words, everyone had to pay more attention now even if they wanted to discuss something after dinner.
After everyone was comforted, Gu Beichen frowned. In fact, he was not able to discover the fact that these people were all mute slaves at first.
After thinking for a while, Gu Beichen still set his sights on An Ruowan.
"What do you mean by what the princess just said?"
Since An Ruowan had recognized the identities of these people a long time ago, in this situation, Gu Beichen also wanted to ask clearly how An Ruowan figured it out.
Only then did An Ruowan raise her lips, "My lord, there is no need to overcomplicate this matter. In fact, this outfit can be changed at any time, but the weapon that is used in the hand cannot be changed easily."
After she said this, Gu Beichen noticed that the weapons in the hands of these people on the ground were not the broad swords used by Tuoba Kingdom, but thin swords like those used by secret guards.
This kind of vulnerability is just as An Ruowan said, the weapon used by the dominant hand cannot be changed in an instant, but he thinks about things too complicatedly.
"Then who does the princess think is planning this incident?"
Now that the words had reached this point, Gu Beichen continued speaking along with these words.
Soon I heard a burst of laughter from beside me, "It seems that the prince wants to pick up the ready-made ones and use them."
At this time, Gu Beichen also raised the corner of his mouth, "Isn't the princess willing to inform this king?"
The two people's eyes collided as the words fell, but obviously they could detect from each other's eyes that their thoughts should be the same.
"It seems that there are indeed people in the capital who are unwilling to allow me to return to the capital safely."
Gu Beichen looked up, a look of sternness flashing across his eyes. I'm afraid it's not very important anymore who is the person behind this matter.
Early the next morning, even though Gu Beichen had strictly prohibited discussion of the matter yesterday, the news of last night spread quickly among the army as if it had gained wings.
Even though everyone knew that no one could be caught alive at all last night, and those corpses were probably not from the Tuoba Kingdom, they could not find out who was behind the scenes, so they still blamed the Tuoba Kingdom for the incident. .
Now that everyone is at the border, it couldn't be easier to find the Tuoba people for revenge.
At the beginning, everyone only dared to repeat it over and over again behind their backs. For some reason, Gu Beichen was unwilling to avenge those dead brothers.
But soon this incident seemed to become an obsession in everyone's hearts, making them think about revenge all the time.
However, in three days, everyone's eyes became more and more fierce, and some even wanted to sneak to Tuoba secretly.
Gu Beichen was also aware of the changes in the army. He knew very well that if this matter could not be handled properly, I am afraid these people would not want to go back like this.
"How is the prince going to handle this matter?"
An Ruowan's identity was not as intimidating as Gu Beichen's, so during this period, he heard more about some things in the army than Gu Beichen did.
Faced with this murderous move, An Ruowan immediately found Gu Beichen.
"Since he wants to use this method to make everyone have other thoughts, then he might as well make the matter a big deal!"
Early the next morning, the news about Tuoba Kingdom's reneging on his promise was widely spread, and no one even knew who spread the news. This actually caused more people to shut up unconsciously.
But this was not the result Gu Beichen wanted. Now that this matter has become a big deal, the news has spread to Tuoba's army.
Zhao Mingyu immediately called the soldiers to a place for questioning. After learning that no one would be so bold, Zhao Mingyu's eyes flashed with severity. Obviously, he would never let this matter go easily.
That night, Zhao Mingyu secretly found Gu Beichen and told him that such a thing would never be done by them.
"Who can say for sure about this kind of thing?"
Unexpectedly, Gu Beichen responded without raising his head, but the implication was that he still suspected that the person who did such a thing would be in the Tuoba Army.
At this time, Zhao Mingyu's expression changed, and then he said, "If this kind of thing continues to develop, I'm afraid Tuoba will do something irreversible. Has the prince thought clearly?"
Hearing this, Gu Beichen turned his eyes to him, "If you want to calm down this kind of thing, it's actually very simple."
Zhao Mingyu didn't quite understand what Gu Beichen meant, but his voice came to his ears again.
"If the person who planned this matter can be completely uncovered, the current situation can naturally be solved."
Only then did Zhao Mingyu laugh out loud, "No wonder the prince let me in specifically."
