"Shanyu, since Tuohe Ti has said so, there must be a reason. It seems we've been looking in the wrong direction." Hami Ci deeply believed in Tuohe Ti's words and sighed: "It's all because of my reckless conjecture, almost causing irreparable losses."

  The Han man immediately persuaded: "Military strategist, you are too modest. Anyone else would have made similar inferences under those circumstances, how can this be blamed on your head?"

  Modu didn't want his chief advisor to lose face in front of outsiders, so he immediately said: "That's right, there's no need to mention this matter again. If it wasn't Auben Zongshi, then who was it?"

  His words momentarily stunned the crowd, and after a brief silence, Bao Bu Tong spoke up: "There are only a handful of people in the world who can reach the level of a Grandmaster, yet there are three among the Han people. Are they the ones?"

  Although his words were a wild guess, they were the closest to the truth.

  The one who abducted Little Princess Liu Ting was indeed a Han person, although he wasn't one of the three great masters of the Great Han Empire.

  But this guess was immediately denied.

  Hammer shook his head and said, "The leader of the Demon Sect among the Han people, Li Yanbo, and our sect's master Tuohuodi are sworn enemies. If he comes to Xijing, Master will definitely sense it. The Cheng family must have a secret agreement with us, so Old Man Cheng won't come here to ruin things either. As for the True Person of Taiyi, if he also takes action...”

  Although he didn't finish what he was saying, everyone knew what he meant.

  Taiyi True Man is the oldest among all the top masters, if it's said that this old man at the age of 110 went to Xiongnu and put aside his identity, took action and kidnapped the Xiongnu princess, I'm afraid no one would believe it even if it was told.

  Modu turned his head and looked at the only Chinese in the field, asking: "Mr. Cheng, what's your opinion?"

  It turned out that this person was Cheng Ming who had hastily left Beijing.

  Cheng Ming hesitated for a moment, then cupped his hands and said: "Your Excellency, when I left the capital, I had already received news that my ancestor was on his way to the capital. According to schedule, he should have arrived in the capital by now. If Taiyi Zhenren is not in the capital, it's impossible to deceive him, so I can guarantee that this matter has absolutely nothing to do with Taiyi Zhenren."

  His words made it clear that Old Master Cheng was far away in the capital and could not possibly come all the way here to commit a crime.

  Modu was, after all, the master of the Xiongnu of his generation. He knew that this matter was very suspicious and it would be impossible to investigate clearly for the time being. He waved his hand and said: "Forget it, we'll discuss this later. There will come a day when everything will become clear."

  Hamidi and others took orders, naturally no longer mentioned, turned to discuss the alliance between Cheng's family and Xiongnu, Caesar.

  After a long time, Cheng Ming left with a satisfied heart, and Bao Bu Tie escorted him out on orders.

  Modu watched him walk away and sneered, "What a wonderful Cheng family, daring to use us and the Kai people to conquer the world for them, truly a foolish dream."

  Hami's face was relieved: "Chanyu, if it weren't for this, how could we have eliminated the Han Dynasty, that great threat to our heart?"

  "Uh, it's inevitable to cooperate with them, but Cheng's family is taking too much advantage." Mo Dun naturally knew that Hami's words were not in vain, but he still had a hint of dissatisfaction in his heart.

  Hamidi burst out laughing: "That's just the Cheng family going crazy thinking they can be emperors."

  At this time, Huaiyuan turned back and asked in a low voice: "Chanyu, did you really give the entire rich south to the Cheng family?"

  Modu looked at him and pretended to be surprised: "Agreed? Agreed what? When did I ever agree with him?"

  Huo Bao's eyes lit up as he immediately grasped his meaning and laughed, saying: "The Single Prince is indeed wise, knowing the principle of luring with benefits."

  Hammer stepped forward, saying: "The programme of the Cheng family is to take advantage of the situation, as long as the Han Liu family becomes extinct, they can replace the Liu imperial dynasty in a legitimate and righteous manner. But how can we give them this opportunity? If we cannot defeat them at once, who knows whether there will be another Cheng imperial dynasty in the future?"

  Modu put aside his worries and showed a heroic demeanor, saying to Bao Yueying: "You go invite Caesar's third son Algenon, this matter needs to be carefully considered with him."

  Three days later, the inspections within Xijing City became increasingly strict. Xu Haifeng and others had to reduce their frequency of going out in order to avoid trouble. Fortunately, Little Princess Liu Ting had already been sent to the campsite where the Black Flag Army was stationed outside the city. Although the Xiongnu people were powerful, no one dared to openly search for the heavily guarded military camps of the Great Han Empire.

  Xu Haifeng was in the courtyard, holding the indestructible divine sword, constantly drawing large and small circles around his body. What he was practicing was indeed the Taiji Swordsmanship taught by Jiang Kongming.

  His swordsmanship was profound and subtle, with each practice yielding a deeper understanding. When applied, it became smooth and effortless, bearing the demeanor of a master swordsman.

  Since he won four consecutive victories in the arena, defeating three top-notch masters at once. Especially after defeating the Xiongnu's proud "Grassland Wolf" Li Zhi, the Xiongnu people have bestowed upon him the glorious title of "The Youngest Top Master of This Generation".

  Although Xu Haifeng knew in his heart, his own skill was barely enough to pretend to be a ghost, but if he really had to fight, he was afraid that he would not be a match for any of the three men.

  However, after those life-and-death battles, his confidence also soared to an unprecedented height. In any case, he is now not completely powerless even when facing a top-notch expert.

  If he really let go and gave it a try, with his calm and steady endurance, the mighty power of the Giant Spirit Palm, as well as the ingeniousness of the Taiji Sword Technique, there was still a chance for him to win.

  At this moment, Xu Haifeng is like a growing young lion, gradually revealing his amazing potential.

  Under Chiang Kung-ming's deliberate arrangement, his mentality has undergone a tremendous change, and the self-abasement and timidity that were originally hidden deep in his heart are being gradually replaced by confidence and resilience.

  The life-and-death struggle in the arena had a great impact on him, but what really changed him was the vastly different attitudes of others towards him after he left the arena, making him realize the change in his status in people's minds.

  The relationship between people is mutually influential. Since he knows that in other people's eyes, he is an indifferent and unyielding true hero who views life and death as equal, then subconsciously he will gradually move closer to this direction.

  Confidence, where does confidence come from?

  Jiang Kongming told him that so-called self-confidence is accumulated step by step through repeated successes and victories, and there is no other way.

  Jiang Gongming, a great military strategist from another world, used this method to boost his confidence.

  As long as he keeps moving forward, the obstacles in front of him will be ruthlessly swept away. One day, he will overcome his psychological barriers and become a true hero who stands tall and proud.

  "Good... Master's swordsmanship is getting more and more sophisticated, it's really worth congratulating." Jiang Gongming applauded vigorously, praising without reservation.

  Xu Haifeng gave him a glance, and that gaze was as if looking at an idiot. This expression was extremely rare.

  Jiang Kongming immediately knew he had misspoken, but was bewildered as to where he went wrong.

  "Hey, General Jiang, don't pretend to understand if you don't get it!" Xu Haifeng rarely saw Jiang Gongming at a loss for words, so he couldn't let go of this opportunity and teased: "This set of swordsmanship emphasizes the realm, do you know what realm means? Realm is... Ah, never mind, even if I explain it to you, you won't understand. In short, this incredibly brilliant swordsmanship definitely can't be grasped just by practicing."

  Jiang Kongming's nose was almost crooked with rage, as these words were usually his to say to Xu Haifeng, but today they were unexpectedly thrown back at him, a truly humiliating and shameful thing.

  He regretted it a thousand times in his heart, how did he accidentally mention something about martial arts.

  It's strange to say, he remembers countless versions of the miraculous skills and techniques from his past life on the internet. However, no matter how hard he studies and practices, he can't produce even a thread of true energy, and naturally, he can't grasp the subtleties within.

  Seeing Jiang Kungming in such a state, Xu Haifeng felt greatly relieved, but also feared that he would not be able to get off the stage, and remembered his hatred in his heart. If he were to fall into another trap again, it would be a case of laughing to the extreme and then becoming tragic.

  He knew well the principle of knowing when to stop while ahead, and hastily put on a smile on his face, inquiring: "General, you're looking for me so early, I wonder what's the matter?"

  Jiang Kongming hummed heavily, and Xu Haifeng's thoughts naturally couldn't escape him. However, he had no intention of pursuing the matter further and said irritably: "The student has been observing the situation in the city for several days and is deeply perplexed by the various changes. That's why I wanted to ask Master to take action and find someone to investigate the truth."

  "What did the military advisor mean by this?" Xǔ Hǎifēng thought to himself, "Didn't you say just two days ago that everything was going in the direction you designed? How could it all change so completely in just two days?"

  Jiang Kongming sensed his thoughts and glared at him fiercely, saying discontentedly: "Planning is done by man, but success is determined by heaven. Students are not gods after all. Something must have happened in the past two days that caused things to get out of my control."

  Xu Haifeng asked strangely: "Military Adviser, what happened?"

  Jiang Kongming's eyes rolled, and he said: "For example, the hiding place of Little Princess Liu Ting was unexpectedly discovered by the Xiongnu people, making them realize that the one who kidnapped the princess was not Auben Zongshi, but someone else. That's why they stopped fighting with the Caesars. Hmm... I estimate that Liu Ting has already fallen into Modu's hands, and her life is worse than death."

  Xu Haifeng's face changed greatly, and he asked in a trembling voice: "Can what the military advisor said be true?"

  Jiang Kongming understood with a glance and said, "Of course it's fake. If the military advisor had personally arranged for this disguise to be easily seen through, would he still have any face left?"

  Xu Haifeng let out a sigh of relief, then suddenly became furious and said: "You...can you also make jokes?"

  Jiang Gongming replied nonchalantly: "Your Excellency, you're getting too worked up. You lost your composure just because someone provoked you. You'll need to practice more in the future."

  Xu Haifeng was speechless with anger, but couldn't really be mad at him, so he could only say fiercely: "Fine, who do you want to see now? I'll take you there."
