Resisting the Wind and Splendor

Chapter 274 The power behind it is not simple.

“I remember now, she was the only woman in the Prince Jin’s team, the girl who stood on horseback and flipped over to shoot arrows during the drill.”

Tuoba Liuli immediately said, "At that time, Third Brother, you even said, 'Amazing!' But later, Ali's performance was so amazing that you forgot about that girl."

Upon hearing Tuoba Liuli's words, Tuoba Yi also remembered.

"It's that girl."

At first, he also thought that the girl's archery skills were quite remarkable and couldn't help but take a few more glances. But since Chu Yueli finished her practice, most people probably only had eyes for this Miss Li.

It was truly stunning, to the point that even the King of Ink had to admire it.

but……

"She possessed the tiger tally that commanded the six tribes?" Does this mean that Tuoba Hu had already unified the seven tribes of the desert before his death?

"How could a mere Tuoba Hu possibly command the seven tribes of the desert? You must know that the other six tribes also have considerable military strength. It took Lu Fengjin quite a bit of effort to wipe out the Tuoba Hu tribe back then."

Tuoba Yi's gaze fell on Chu Xiaohe and Chu Yueli: "General Chu and Miss Li should know this matter better than anyone else."

"Indeed, it consumed a lot of energy and time, and also resulted in the loss of more than 20,000 of my Dongling army."

Chu Xiaohe thought for a moment, then his brows furrowed slowly: "But I don't think Tuoba Hu has the ability to unify the other six tribes."

"Does General Chu think so too?" He's just the leader of a rebel group. Some of the other six clans are even descendants of the Tuoba royal family of Dongling. How could they be willing to submit to a rebel?

"So," Tuoba Yi looked at Lu Beimo, his brow furrowing, "you think that Tuoba Hu's identity is not simple?"

Lu Beimo did not answer the question, but instead turned his head to look at Chu Yueli: "I want to hear what A-Li has to say."

"I am not a member of the royal family, and I am not familiar with Dongling. What thoughts could I possibly have?" Chu Yueli lowered her head and drank her tea.

Tuoba Yi laughed and said, "You want to be a member of the royal family? It's easy! You just have a ready-made future husband."

"Third Prince, watch your words!" Chu Xiaohe immediately interrupted him.

Although he belatedly realized that his sister's relationship with Prince Mo was unusual.

But this is not good news for a girl who has just broken off her engagement with another prince.

But he was powerless to do anything about it.

Chu Yueli suddenly looked up at Lu Beimo and asked, "You know all this because she feels that Lu Fengjin is no longer a reliable backer and wants to turn to you instead? Why didn't Your Highness agree?"

Regardless of Tuoba Hu's identity, his ability to lead the seven tribes of the desert demonstrates that he is indeed exceptionally capable.

Chu Yueli hadn't forgotten how much effort it took her to defeat Tuoba Hu.

If Tuoba Hu hadn't been so ambitious and wanted to invade the Central Plains, the imperial court wouldn't have sent troops to attack the Tuoba clan when it was already in turmoil itself.

It can only be said that his downfall was entirely his own fault, caused by his insatiable greed.

"Do you really think Tuoba Mingyue has the ability to gather the six tribes of the desert?"

"I'm afraid it won't be easy." Chu Yueli shook her head. "Even if she has the Tiger Tally, back then everyone obeyed her father, not her. Now that Tuoba Hu is gone, if she still wants to unify the six clans in the future, she can only do so if she can bring everyone immense benefits."

In politics, there are no permanent enemies or permanent friends; the most reliable thing is always self-interest.

“However, although Tuoba Mingyue seems a bit arrogant, she is indeed very capable, and the power behind her should not be underestimated.” She looked at Lu Beimo, “Are you really not going to consider it?”
