Xi Yu frowned, remembered Liu Bei's letter, and a thoughtful expression appeared on his face.
He narrowed his eyes slightly and murmured to himself: "There are too many people doing things under the banner of the royal family, which is really a headache."
Xi Yu raised his head, looked at Tuoba Lu, and a sneer appeared on the corner of his mouth.
"Tuoba Lu, I see if you have cooperated with Liu Maohai before?"
A hint of embarrassment flashed across Tuoba Yu's face, and then he waved his hand and explained: "Nothing is there? I'm just perfunctory. I've always been loyal to you, the Prime Minister."
Tuoba Yu's eyes were sincere and sincere, and his brows were slightly frowned, as if he felt a little aggrieved.
At this tense moment, Tuoba Yu rushed in quickly.
Her eyes were full of anger, her face turned red, and she rushed in while cursing: "Tuoba Lu, you dog thief! I'm going to kill you today!"
Her voice was sharp and harsh, full of resentment.
Everyone present was startled by her sudden behavior, and their eyes widened and their faces were terrified.
Tuoba Lu paniced and avoided Tuoba Yu's attack, his face full of fear and confusion.
Tian Chong saw the person clearly from the side. He recognized it as the princess Tuoba Yu and quickly shouted: "Princess, stop!"
Tuoba Yu didn't listen at all, and still waved the weapons in his hand frantically, as if he wanted to put Tuoba Lu to death.
Tuoba Yu pressed step by step, forcing Tuoba Lu to the corner. Tuoba Lu was full of wonder. Looking at his almost crazy sister in front of him, he asked in confusion: "Sister, why are you here?"
Tuoba Yu stared at Tuoba Lu with fierce eyes, but the movement in his hand did not stop.
Tuoba Lu quickly turned to look at Xi Yu, hoping to get an answer from him.
He asked anxiously: "Prime Minister, what's going on?"
Xi Yu frowned slightly, with a helpless expression on his face, and said, "I met her on the road, and I didn't instruct Tuoba Yu to deal with you."
When Tuoba Lu heard Xi Yu's words, his face became even more confusing.
He looked at Tuoba Yu and tried to calm her down.
Tuoba Yu was still unwilling to let go. She gasped and gritted her teeth and said, "Brother, don't think I don't know what you did! You sent someone to kill Hailan."
Xi Yu said: "Tuoba Yu, don't be impulsive first. Let's talk about anything."
Tuoba Yu roared angrily: "You are all in the same group! I must make him pay the price today!"
At this time, Tuoba Yu seemed to be spewing out of fire in her eyes. Her expression became a little distorted by anger, and she looked like an angry beast.
Xi Yu frowned and said with a serious look on his face: "Tuoba Yu, Tuoba Lu is a guest today. Even if you want to do it, you must not!"
After hearing Xi Yu's words, Tuoba Yu stopped the movement in his hand unwillingly.
She glared at Tuoba Lu viciously, gritted her teeth and said, "I will kill you next time I see you!" Her eyes were full of anger, as if she was about to swallow Tuoba Lu alive.
Tuoba Lu sighed helplessly and said, "Sister, all I have done is for your own good."
Tuoba Yu sneered at her nose, looked contemptuous, and sneered: "You said you were for my own good? I feel disgusting! What you did was simply hurting me!" Her voice was filled with disgust and disdain.
Xi Yu looked at Tuoba Lu and others and said firmly, "You guys go back quickly, Tuoba Yu will live here temporarily."
Tuoba Lu and others looked at each other, and although they were a little reluctant, they had to turn around and leave helplessly.
Tuoba Yu became even more angry when he saw this.
She rushed to Xi Yu, pointed at him, her eyes wide open, full of anger, and she accused loudly: "Prime Minister, why don't you let me kill my brother! Why do you still want to cover up on him!"
Her voice became sharp from anger, and the muscles on her face were trembling slightly from excitement.
Xi Yu looked at the angry Tuoba Yu and said calmly: "Tuoba Yu, things are not what you think, please calm down first."
But Tuoba Yu couldn't listen at all, and she still shouted excitedly: "I don't care! I must take revenge!"
Her eyes were full of determination, as if she would not give up until she achieved her goal.
Xi Yu frowned slightly, with a hint of sternness in his voice, and said, "Tuoba Yu, you should go back to your room and stop making trouble here, otherwise I'm really not polite."
Tuoba Yu clenched his fists with both hands and stood there angrily, still relentlessly trying to argue with Xi Yu.
She widened her eyes, her eyes full of stubbornness, and said, "I won't go back! I'll tell you clearly!"
Xi Yu looked at her appearance and sighed helplessly, suddenly stepped forward and hugged Tuoba Yu.
Tuoba Yu blushed in an instant, she struggled and shouted, "Let me go! What are you doing!"
Xi Yu ignored her struggle, hugged her and walked straight into the room, and said as he walked, "If you make trouble, I will really take you back to the room."
When the villagers in the yard saw this scene, they opened their mouths in surprise, and some even laughed secretly.
Tuoba Yu's face turned redder. She buried her head in Xi Yu's arms and did not dare to look at others.
After Tuoba Yu was carried to the guest room, he was still struggling constantly, pushing Xi Yu with both hands.
Xi Yu gently put her on the bed.
However, at this moment, Tuoba Yu suddenly made a move, and Xi Yu lost his balance and accidentally threw herself on her.
Both of them were stunned for a moment, and time seemed to have stopped.
Tuoba Yu widened his eyes, and a blush appeared on her face. There was both surprise and shyness in her eyes.
Xi Yu's face was also red. He quickly got up in panic, his eyes dodged and did not dare to look at Tuoba Yu.
He sighed in his heart: "This foreign woman is really...produced."
His heart was beating violently, and he felt his face burning.
At this time, Xi Yu's expression was a little embarrassed, while Tuoba Yu looked at him at a loss, and the atmosphere between the two became extremely subtle.
Finally, Xi Yu coughed lightly, breaking the silence. His voice said unnaturally: "Tuoba Yu, please calm down first, don't always think about killing your brother."
After saying that, he slowly straightened up, looked away with a dodge, and did not dare to look at Tuoba Yu.
Then, he quickly left the room as if he was escaping, leaving Tuoba Yu alone lying on the bed, with an unfading blush remaining on his face and a complex emotion in his eyes.
Tuoba Lu had a gloomy face and walked on the road with heavy steps. His brows were frowning tightly, as if there was unresolved sorrow.
Tian Chong followed him with a look of confusion.
They came to the mountain, Tuoba Lu stopped and turned to look at Tian Chong.
His face was full of worries and confusion, and he said in a low voice: "Tian Chong, please help me analyze and analyze. What does Xi Yu mean? He said to think about it, is he really thinking about it, or is he just perfunctory to me?"
Tian Chong frowned, shook his head slightly, and said with confusion: "I also find it strange. When talking about Liu Maohai's incident, Xi Yu didn't let him bring it here. This is really unpredictable. What did he think?"
The two looked at each other and saw deep doubts in each other's eyes.
They stood in front of the mountain, and the mountain wind blew, lifting the corners of their clothes, but they could not dispel the doubts and anxiety in their hearts.
At this time, a follower walked forward carefully, with a hesitant look on his face. He stuttered: "Chief...I, I have something to say, but please forgive me for my great disrespect first, otherwise I really dare not say it."
Tuoba Lu frowned even more. He looked at the follower impatiently and said, "Tell me, I forgive you for not guilty."
The follower received Tuoba Lu's reply and then relaxed a little.
The follower lowered his voice and said, "Sir, in my opinion, Xi Yu and the Princess may have met by chance on the road, but the princess killed you, and there may be something secretly arranged by Xi Yu. Think about it, you love the princess very much, how could you really hate her? Now that the princess is in their hands, it is equivalent to becoming a hostage to Xi Yu! In my opinion, it is impossible to negotiate terms with Xi Yu in the future. He will hold our Xianbei people's noses!"
When the follower said this, his brows frowned, his face full of worries and reluctance.
Tuoba Lu's face became even more ugly after hearing the words of the follower. A trace of anger flashed in his eyes, but more of helplessness and pain.
Tuoba Lu became excited after hearing the words of the follower. He widened his eyes, his face flushed, and shouted: "What did you say!"
The entourage was so scared that his face was pale by Tuoba Lu's reaction. He quickly knelt down, kowtowed constantly, and said stammeringly: "Chief calms down, calms down, the youngest is just talking nonsense, the youngest dares!"
Tuoba Lu's voice was filled with anger and disappointment. He waved his hand vigorously and said, "Forget it, go back first!"
Tian Chong watched all this aside, and a trace of hesitation flashed in his eyes.
Suddenly, he spoke, "I have an idea."
Tuoba Lu and his entourage turned their heads to look at Tian Chong.
Tian Chong took a deep breath and said, "Maybe we can think of a better way to solve the problem from a long-term perspective."
Tuoba Lu frowned and said, "What's the solution?"
Tian Chong thought for a moment and said, "Chief, through observation, I found that Xi Yu was full of love for the princess. Maybe these two people can still achieve a marriage."
Tuoba Lu frowned and looked a little impatient on his face. He waved his hand and said, "Stop going around, just talk about the key points!"
Tian Chong cleared his throat and continued, "I mean, we still have to find a way to get along with the princess. If Xi Yu and the princess really become a good thing, then we can make this request to Xi Yu through the princess."
Tuoba Lu fell into deep thought after hearing Tian Chong's words, and a thoughtful expression appeared on his face.
Seeing this, Tian Chong continued, "Chief, this may be a feasible solution, so we might as well give it a try."
Tian Chong frowned slightly and said seriously: "But, leader, if you want to accomplish this, you must put down your airs and admit that you are sorry to the princess, otherwise this matter will be really difficult to handle."
When Tuoba Lu heard this, his eyebrows were raised, his face was full of determination, and he shouted: "Absolutely impossible! I, Tuoba Lu, did nothing wrong, why should I admit these false things!"
Tian Chong looked at Tuoba Lu, a hint of anxiety flashed in his eyes. He raised his voice and said, "Those who achieve great things are not limited to the details, leader! Think about it carefully, this is for the future of the Xianbei people!"
Tuoba Lu remained silent, his face was gloomy and gloomy. After a while, he gritted his teeth and said, "Let's go back first."
After saying that, he turned around and walked towards the way he came, his steps seemed a little heavy.
Tian Chong looked at his back and sighed helplessly.
The secret guards were like ghosts, and according to the address provided by Yu Yu, they quietly came to the place where the three brothers lived.
He lurked carefully in the yard, trying not to make a sound.
Through the window of the main house, the secret guard saw the three brothers sitting around the table having a drink.
Their faces were filled with cheerful smiles, and they spoke loudly, and laughter echoed in the room.
Xi Zhicai sat quietly in a corner, his eyes a little lonely, which was in sharp contrast to the fun of his brothers.
The secret guard decided to take action late at night.
Xi Yu stood in the courtyard, and suddenly, he seemed to remember something, his brows frowned slightly, and a trace of complex emotions flashed in his eyes.
He quickly sent someone to inform Zhao Yun and asked him to take Jia Xu's body to the city gate.
After a while, Zhao Yun brought Jia Xu's body to the city gate.
Xi Yu also arrived there soon, with a serious expression on his face and a cold and firm look on his face.
The people gathered around and whispered to each other.
Xi Yu stood on a high place and shouted to the people: "Everyone, Jia Xu is dead now. I found his body on the road and killed him! At the beginning, he was rescued by someone else and had nothing to do with me."
Xi Yu's voice echoed at the city gate, and his expression was solemn and decisive.
"Jia Xu violated the national law, I, Xi Yu, will never forgive him!" Xi Yu continued, with an inviolable majesty in his eyes.
When the people listened to Xi Yu's words, some showed a surprised expression, while others nodded in agreement.
And Xi Yu stood there like a firm statue, his figure looked particularly tall in the sun.
Xi Yu stood at the city gate, looking at the reactions of the people around him, and smiled bitterly in his heart.
Many people showed sudden enlightenment and whispered to each other: "It turns out that we blamed him wrongly, and thought he let Jia Xu go privately."
At this time, a commoner came up and said to Xi Yu with apologies: "Sir, we were wrong before, and we misunderstood you, please forgive me!"
Xi Yu looked at him, a smile appeared on his face, and said embarrassedly: "I don't blame you, I don't blame you. In that case, it's normal for everyone to think so."
When he said this, a hint of blush appeared on his face. After all, Jia Xu actually died of the plague. He said this, there was something about seeking fame and reputation in it.
His eyes dodged a little, and he did not dare to look at the people, and his heart was filled with guilt.
When the people looked at Xi Yu, their eyes were full of admiration and gratitude, and their attitude towards him was even more respectful.
Xi Yu waved his hand and asked someone to arrange for Jia Xu to be buried.
Seeing Jia Xu's body being carried away, he sighed secretly.
The body has been dealt with recently and has used spices, otherwise it would have smelled a long time ago.
Xi Yu turned around and quietly approached Zhao Yun, with a hint of confusion and uneasiness on his face, and asked, "Zhao Yun, am I too hypocritical just now? I feel something is wrong with doing this."
Zhao Yun frowned slightly, looked at Xi Yu seriously, and said, "Sir, this is not hypocrisy, it is a good strategy. You do this to stabilize the people's hearts, there is nothing wrong with it."
After hearing Zhao Yun's words, Xi Yu's expression on his face slightly eased, but he was still a little confused.
He pursed his lips and left.
The night covers the earth and the moon is hazy, covering the entire yard with a mysterious veil.
The secret guards were hiding in the darkness, like beasts waiting for an opportunity, staring at the main house.
In the house, the three brothers gradually fell asleep after drinking and eating.
The two brothers were lying on the bed in the same room, snoring slightly, and sleeping soundly.
The other brother slept with Xi Zhicai, and Xi Zhicai turned his back to him, breathing evenly and calmly.
The moonlight shone through the window on Xi Zhicai, reflecting his slightly tired face.
His brows frowned slightly, as if he was also feeling a little sad in his dream.
The room was filled with a faint smell of alcohol, and in the quiet atmosphere, there were only a few occasional cries of insects, breaking the tranquility of the night.
The third child in the same room as Xi Zhicai.
The secret guard sneaked into the room like a ghost. Before the third brother could notice it, he quickly stuffed a pill into his mouth.
The third brother rolled his throat and continued to fall asleep, with no sign of waking up.
Xi Zhicai was awakened by the sudden movement. He sat up suddenly, his eyes full of surprise and fear.
The secret guard lowered his voice and said, "Don't speak, I was sent by the Prime Minister.
Xi Zhicai was slightly stunned, then as if he had remembered something, the horror on his face gradually dissipated, replaced by a look of relief.
The secret guard approached Xi Zhicai and lowered his voice and said, "Mr. Xi, please follow me first, and I will deal with them later."
Xi Zhicai nodded slightly, with a trace of determination on his face, and said, "Okay, I'll listen to you."
The secret guard and Xi Zhicai quickly walked towards the entrance of the village.
At the entrance of the village, a carriage had been waiting here, and several soldiers were pulling the carriage.
The secret guard said to the soldiers: "Send Mr. Trick to the Prime Minister's Mansion."
The soldiers responded in unison: "Yes!"
Xi Zhicai looked at the carriage in front of him and felt a little relieved. He turned to look at the secret guard, and a trace of gratitude flashed in his eyes.
The secret guard looked at Xi Zhicai getting on the carriage and was about to go back to deal with the three brothers, with firmness and coldness in his eyes.
As the carriage galloped, Xi Zhicai quickly returned to the residence of the three brothers.
He walked into the yard lightly and found that everything was still quiet, as if nothing had happened.
Chapter completed!
