Tong Weidong remembered something.
Once Tong Weidong went home and quietly eavesdropped on the conversation between his mother and a woman from his neighbor.
My mother said softly, "I wish I had the other one by my side." There was a hint of melancholy and longing in her voice.
Tong Weidong was shocked when he heard this.
A look of surprise appeared on his face, and he was thinking in his heart about who the "other" he said was.
Just as he wanted to continue listening, his footsteps were accidentally noticed by his mother.
The mother immediately stopped talking, and a hint of panic flashed in her eyes.
After hearing this, Tuoba Yu showed an excited expression on his face. He said happily: "Then let's go and ask your mother quickly, maybe you will know the truth!" His eyes flashed with anticipation.
A trace of sadness flashed in Tong Weidong's eyes.
He shook his head gently and whispered: "My mother has passed away."
His voice was slightly low, and a faint sadness appeared on his face.
Tuoba Yu's smile instantly froze on his face, and his eyes were filled with disappointment and regret.
Xi Yu frowned and said to Tuoba Yu calmly, "Even if they are really twins, what's the use? I can't know where Hailan is now."
Tuoba Yu's face was originally a little expectant, but after hearing Xi Yu's words, her expression gradually became depressed.
She sighed slightly and muttered to herself: "Yes, that's true"
Her eyes also became confused, as if she was thinking about what to do next.
So, the two of them left.
The prefect stood outside the door, paced back and forth anxiously, looking at the situation in the cell from time to time.
When Xi Yu and Tuoba Yu walked out, the prefect hurriedly came forward and asked anxiously: "Master Prime Minister, have you solved the problem?"
Xi Yu nodded slightly, with a calm expression.
Then, the two of them turned around and left.
Seeing this, the prefect hurried to the cell.
He stared at Tong Weidong with sharp eyes and asked seriously: "What did those two people just said to you?"
Tong Weidong raised his head and answered the prefect's question with a firm look.
After hearing this, the prefect frowned slightly, as if he didn't believe Tong Weidong's words.
He asked again, with a hint of doubt in his tone: "Have you told the truth seriously?"
Tong Weidong straightened his body and replied without retreating: "What I'm telling the truth."
The prefect left.
In the vast Youzhou area, there is a quiet countryside, where Xi Zhicai lives in seclusion.
He is far away from the hustle and bustle of the world and pursues inner peace and freedom.
At the beginning, Xi Yu once persuaded him to become an official, hoping that he could show his talents in the officialdom.
However, Xi Zhicai had no interest in being an official, and he was more in love with the life of growing flowers.
In the early morning, the sun shines in the courtyard, and Xi Zhicai walks leisurely and comfortably.
He took care of every flower carefully and felt their growth and changes with his heart.
His face was filled with a satisfied smile, as if this sea of ​​flowers was the sustenance of his soul.
In this quiet little countryside, Xi Zhicai found his own home.
He is with nature and friends with flowers, enjoying this simple and beautiful life.
On that day, three people suddenly appeared at the door. They all had ferocious faces and looked fierce and fierce.
Xi Zhicai was sitting leisurely in the yard drinking tea. When he saw these three people, the tea cup in his hand trembled slightly, and a look of surprise appeared on his face.
But he quickly calmed down, slowly put down the teacup, looked at them and asked, "What's the matter with you?"
The three men had expressionless faces and their eyes were as cold as frost. They approached Xi Zhicai coldly without saying a word.
Their steps were heavy and firm, as if they were carrying an invisible pressure, which made the surrounding air tense.
Xi Zhicai frowned slightly, a hint of vigilance flashed in his eyes, but he remained calm and stared at the three people who were approaching.
The three of them stared at Xi Zhicai with their eyes tightly.
One of them asked, "Are you Xi Yu's brother?"
When Xi Zhicai heard this, his brows frowned slightly, and a trace of surprise flashed in his eyes.
He was silent for a moment, then slowly shook his head and said softly: "You are afraid you are looking for the wrong person."
His voice was calm and firm, as if trying to hide the fluctuations in his heart.
Xi Zhicai's eyes flashed, revealing a hint of uneasiness. He thought to himself that he had come to this village to live in seclusion and deliberately used a fake name.
Never revealed his relationship with Xi Yu to anyone. How could these three people know about him?
He continued, "I am just an ordinary countryman, how could it have something to do with Xi Yu? Xi Yu is the prime minister!"
The three of them stared at Xi Zhicai with sharp eyes.
One of them said viciously: "Tell me honestly! Otherwise, don't blame us for being polite!"
As he said that, another person actually put the knife on Xi Zhicai's neck.
However, Xi Zhicai suddenly laughed.
He said, "How could I be Xi Yu's brother? If this were the case, why would I have been in the countryside? I would have been an official long ago. This is ridiculous!"
Seeing this, the three people became even more angry and shouted: "Don't be cunning! Since we are here, we have already investigated it!" Their faces were full of anger and impatience.
A look of surprise appeared on Xi Zhicai's face, and he shouted: "You must have recognized the wrong person! Do I look very similar to Xi Yu's brother?"
There was a hint of confusion and confusion in his voice.
After hearing his words, the three people immediately fell into doubt.
They frowned and looked at each other, with a hint of confusion in their eyes.
One of them murmured to himself: "Is it really that we were wrong?"
The other person also echoed: "Looking at his appearance, it doesn't seem like he is lying."
Finally, the three people looked at each other, nodded tacitly, and decided to leave.
They stared at Xi Zhicai coldly.
One of them warned: "We will believe what you say for the time being, but if you are lying, you can bear the consequences!"
His voice was cold and threatening, making the entire air seem to condense.
Xi Zhicai's heart tightened. He silently looked at the three of them leaving behind, with a hint of worry on his face.
After the three of them walked out of Xi Zhicai's home, they came to a bridge.
The three of them are brothers.
The boss frowned and said with a serious expression: "I think that Xi Zhicai must be lying."
The second and third brother showed thoughtful expressions, as if weighing the boss's statement.
The second child scratched his head and said softly: "Maybe we really got it wrong."
The third brother nodded, expressing his agreement with the second brother's opinion.
Seeing this, the boss put his hands on his chest and said confidently: "We can do an experiment to verify it."
The second and third brother immediately approached and asked anxiously: "Brother, what are you planning to do?"
Their eyes were full of curiosity and expectation.
The boss narrowed his eyes slightly, raised his mouth, and confidently put the plans one by one.
His voice was calm and firm, and a shrewd light flashed in his eyes.
The second and third brother listened to the boss's story, at first there was a little doubt on their faces.
But with the boss's detailed explanation, their expressions gradually became clear.
"So that's it!" The second brother suddenly realized and clapped his hands excitedly.
The third brother nodded frequently, and a trace of admiration flashed in his eyes: "Brother, this is a good idea!"
Then, they immediately took action and looked around for the right people in the village.
Eventually, they found two women.
The boss smiled and said to them in a kind tone: "Two sisters, we have something to ask for. As long as you cooperate with us to act in a play, you can get some benefits."
As he said that, he took out some money from his arms and handed it to them.
The two women took the money, looked at each other, nodded, and agreed to their request.
Next, the boss told them the plan and told them to cooperate with the performance.
After a stick of incense, the two women arrived at the door of Xi Zhicai's house.
One of the women frowned and said with a serious expression: "I heard that there was a plague in Qingzhou. Xi Yu went there and was infected with the plague and was said to have died."
There was a hint of regret in her voice.
Another woman opened her mouth in surprise and questioned: "I'm afraid this is impossible?" Her eyes were full of disbelief.
The first woman waved her hand quickly and lowered her voice and said, "How is it impossible? But this matter is still a secret now, so it is generally not disclosed to the public."
Her expression seemed a little mysterious. She was still looking around while talking, as if she was afraid of being heard by others.
Xi Zhicai, who was drinking tea leisurely in the yard, suddenly heard the news. The tea cup in his hand shook suddenly and a few drops of tea splashed.
His eyes widened, his face full of shock.
He quickly put down the teacup and hurried outside, his pace was a little flustered.
"What you said just now, what's going on?"
Xi Zhicai's voice was trembling with a hint of trembling.
The two women were startled by his appearance and couldn't help but take a few steps back.
Xi Zhicai was anxious. He grabbed the arms of the two women with both hands and shouted anxiously: "Tell me quickly!" His face turned pale, and blue veins on his forehead were raised.
However, the two women ran away like they had seen something terrible.
Seeing this, Xi Zhicai chased after him without hesitation.
At this moment, the three brothers immediately appeared beside him like ghosts.
The boss's eyes were cold and he said to him coldly: "You are Xi Yu's brother, otherwise how could he care about his news so much?"
His voice seemed to come from the Nine Nether Hell, which made people shudder.
When Xi Zhicai heard this, he was shocked and looked astonished on his face.
Then he suddenly realized that the three brothers set up a game to test himself.
Xi Zhicai frowned slightly, and a look of annoyance appeared on his face.
He is not stupid, but because he is too concerned about Xi Yu, he is fooled by them.
Seeing this, the boss still said coldly: "Don't you admit it yet?"
His eyes were like a knife, staring at Xi Zhicai tightly.
Xi Zhicai took a deep breath, nodded, straightened his body, and said solemnly: "I am indeed Xi Yu's brother, what's wrong with you?"
The three brothers had sharp eyes.
The boss said to Xi Zhicai in a cold tone: "Follow us quickly! As for why, don't ask anything. As long as you cooperate well, you can suffer less!" Their faces revealed unquestionable majesty.
Xi Zhicai's heart sank. He knew that he could not resist, and a hint of helplessness and depression appeared on his face.
He bit his lip, nodded silently, then lowered his head and followed the three brothers.
His steps seemed a little heavy, as if he was carrying a heavy burden.
The three of them stared at Xi Zhicai. Seeing his obedient attitude, their tense expressions relaxed a little, and they all breathed a sigh of relief.
They looked at each other, and the joy of victory was revealed in their eyes.
Xi Yu and Tuoba Yu returned to the inn room.
Xi Yu stood by the window, looked at the street outside, and said firmly: "We must get on the road right away."
Tuoba Yu sat at the table, lowered her head, her face full of fatigue and helplessness.
She slowly raised her head and looked at Xi Yu, with a trace of struggle in her eyes, and sighed and said, "Hailan must be in danger. My brother is cruel and ruthless, so it is impossible for Hailan to be alive. I have always held hope. Now that I think about it, maybe it is really too naive."
Xi Yu turned around and looked at Tuoba Yu, his eyes full of concern: "Tuoba Yu, don't be too sad. We have more important things to do."
Tuoba Yu shook his head with a wry smile: "I know, but I still can't let Hailan go."
Xi Yu frowned slightly and said seriously: "Some things need time to slowly forget them."
After hearing this, Tuoba Yu's face flashed with a complicated expression.
She bit her lip, with a hint of firmness and determination in her eyes, and said, "Xi Yu, as long as you don't dislike me, I'm willing to follow you, and be a maid."
Xi Yu looked at Tuoba Yu, and a trace of softness flashed in his eyes.
He nodded slightly and said, "Okay, then go on the road."
Tuoba Yu's face showed a relieved smile, but tears flashed in his eyes.
Four people set out on the road.
Xi Yu stopped, turned to look at Guan Yu, and said with a serious expression: "Guan Yu, can't say anything that makes Tuoba Yu sad in the future, do you understand?"
Guan Yu nodded slightly, a trace of guilt flashed across his face. He clasped his fists and said, "I understand, Prime Minister, I will definitely pay attention in the future."
Xi Yu frowned slightly, still feeling a little worried in his eyes, but he nodded.
Tuoba Yu stood aside, with a look of gratitude on his face, secretly glanced at Guan Yu, and then quickly lowered his head, as if he was still embarrassed.
That night, the sky was covered with clouds and the moon was covered tightly.
Xi Yu looked up at the sky, frowned, and said, "The sky is so gloomy, and there are no inns nearby. We have to find a place to stay."
He turned to look at the others.
Guan Yu nodded and said, "What the Prime Minister said is so true. Let's find a place as soon as possible."
Tuoba Yu and another person also agreed.
Xi Yu said, "Then let's go to the farmers' home and give them some money."
No one objected, so the group accelerated.
After a while, they came to a village, searched around, and found a family.
Xi Yu walked forward and knocked on the door lightly.
There was a sound of footsteps inside the door, and then the door slowly opened.
Xi Yu smiled and said politely: "I'm disturbing. We missed Sutou because we were on the way. We wanted to spend a night in your mansion. This is some money, so please accept it."
He said, handing over some money.
The farmer was an old man. He looked at them in surprise, hesitated for a moment, and still let them in.
Everyone followed the farmers into the house, with a look of relaxation on their faces.
After the farmers let them into the house, everyone saw a stove in the house with steaming dishes on it.
The farmer said with a kind smile and said with emotion: "Oh, I don't know how God arranged this today. But it was also given me a chance to do good deeds! I also treated a patient today, which is a great thing with immeasurable merits!"
He said and laughed, the wrinkles on his face stretched out, full of relief and pride.
After hearing this, Xi Yu and others smiled and nodded in response.
Xi Yu said: "The old man is really a kind person. It is our luck to meet you."
Guan Yu hugged his fists and said, "What the old man said is extremely true. Your kindness is admirable."
The old man sighed softly and said with regret on his face: "Oh, when I was walking outside, I saw a patient lying there. I quickly carried him to find a doctor, but in the end I couldn't save him. The poor body was in the west room, and I plan to bury him tomorrow."
After saying that, he looked at Tuoba Yu, a trace of concern flashed in his eyes, and asked with a smile: "Girl, didn't you scare you?"
Tuoba Yu was slightly stunned, her face was a little pale. She forced a smile and said, "Old man, I'm fine, don't worry."
Xi Yu frowned, a look of worry appeared on his face, and said, "Old man, you are really kind-hearted, but this ending is really regrettable."
Song Shuwen also sighed softly and said, "Life is impermanent, you have done your best."
Suddenly, Guan Yu frowned, a light flashed in his eyes, and he spoke, "Song Shuwen, aren't you a miracle doctor? Maybe you have the technique of resurrection, so why not go and see the patient!"
After hearing this, Song Shuwen smiled bitterly and said helplessly: "All people are dead, what can I do?"
Xi Yu frowned slightly, looked at Song Shuwen and said, "It may not be hopeless, it's better to go and have a look."
Guan Yu said firmly: "Yes, what's wrong with going to see it? What if there is a miracle!"
A hint of hesitation flashed across Song Shuwen's face, but he finally nodded and said, "Okay, then go and have a look."
The old man widened his eyes and looked at Xi Yu and others.
Thinking, they are so whimsical! Everyone is dead, how can they be saved?
His face was filled with an incredible look.
But he sighed and said, "Okay, since you are so persistent, I'll take you to the west room to have a look."
Chapter completed!
