In the restaurant, Tian Chong lowered his voice and told Tuoba Lu about the plan. A firm light flashed in his eyes.
"Chief, although Xi Yu is the prime minister and the emperor does not care about politics, the emperor still has majesty after all."
Tuoba Lu nodded slightly, revealing a hint of enlightenment in his eyes.
"I understand, that is, we go to pay homage to the emperor."
Tian Chong nodded and said with certainty: "Yes, we must do this when we have not left Youzhou yet."
Tuoba Lu agreed, "This is a good idea." He paused for a moment and continued, "But we can't go empty-handed, so let's bring some gifts."
The two thought for a moment and looked at each other.
Tian Chong thought to buy some wine!
Then they came to a wine cellar.
Tian Chong looked at the dazzling array of wine jars, frowned slightly, and said seriously: "You have to choose some good wine."
Tuoba Lu was on the side, constantly looking at various wines, with his expression focused, as if he was carefully selecting.
While selecting wine, Tian Chonghe asked the waiter who sells wine, “Waiter, do you know where the emperor lives?”
The waiter stopped his work, looked at them, and told them where the emperor lived, and asked in confusion: "Do you want to give it to the emperor if you buy wine?"
Tian Chong and Tuoba Lu looked at each other and nodded.
When the waiter heard this, he immediately became energetic, with a warm smile on his face and said, "Then you should buy better wine! I recommend aged wine to you, this wine is the best!"
He said, pointing his finger at a jar of aged wine in the wine cellar, his eyes full of anticipation.
Tian Chong looked at the waiter's enthusiastic look, smiled and said, "Then let's have a jar of aged wine!"
Tuoba Lu also nodded on the side to express his agreement, with a look of satisfaction on his face.
Tian Chong and Tuoba Lu finally chose the wine. After paying the money, they held the wine jar and prepared to leave.
Tian Chong's face was filled with joy and said, "Haha, I finally bought it. Now I can go to see the emperor!"
Tuoba Lu also looked excited and nodded constantly and said, "Yes, it's really good!"
At this time, the waiter looked at their departure backs and couldn't stop smiling. He said with smugness in his heart: "Hehe, these two guys really didn't bargain. I deliberately said the price was a little higher, and they really bought it!"
As Tian Chong and Tuoba Lu walked, they were still recalling the process of buying wine just now, and they were completely unaware that they had been "slaughtered".
The soldiers sent by Xi Yu hurried back to the Prime Minister's Mansion and came to Xi Yu's room with an anxious look on his face.
He looked at the closed door, frowned, and said to himself in confusion: "What's going on?"
Then, he asked a few servants in the yard.
"Where is a sir? I have something important to report!"
One of the servants replied: "The Prime Minister and the newly brought Xianbei woman went out."
When the soldier heard this, he shook his head and had to retreat first and wait for Xi Yu to come back.
Xi Yu smiled and looked at Tuoba Yu gently, saying, "Tuoba Yu, let's find a beautiful place with beautiful mountains and rivers to see how?"
Tuoba Yu's eyes lit up and he said excitedly: "Okay, that's great!"
Her face was filled with joy and smiled like a blooming flower.
Xi Yu thought for a while and said, "I won't be riding a bicycle anymore."
Tuoba Yu looked puzzled and asked with his head tilted, "What is a bicycle? Why have I never heard of it?"
At this time, patrol soldiers happened to pass by. Xi Yu quickly called them and said to one of the soldiers: "Go back to the Prime Minister's Mansion and bring my bicycle out." The soldiers respectfully took the order, turned around and ran towards the Prime Minister's Mansion.
Tuoba Yu looked around curiously, full of expectations for the bike she was about to see.
After a while, the bicycle was pushed by the soldiers.
The moment Tuoba Yu saw the bicycle, his eyes widened, as if he was about to pop out of his sockets.
She shouted in surprise: "Wow! There is such a magical thing in this world!"
Xi Yu smiled slightly, with a little smug look on his face, and said, "This is what I created."
As he said that, he stepped onto the bicycle and began to demonstrate skillfully in front of Tuoba Yu.
Tuoba Yu clapped his hands excitedly and said, "Wow, this is more interesting than riding a horse!"
Xi Yu stopped and looked at Tuoba Yu and said, "I will teach you if I have time. Now let me take you away first."
His eyes were filled with tenderness and doting.
Xi Yu filmed the back seat of the bicycle and said to Tuoba Yu: "Come on, come here."
Tuoba Yu sat down obediently and gently grabbed the corner of Xi Yu's clothes with both hands.
Xi Yu pedaled his foot and the bicycle began to move forward slowly. He smiled and said, "Hurry up, we're going to set off!"
Tuoba Yu said "yes", with a happy smile on her face.
The bicycle was galloping on the road, and the trees on both sides kept retreating like phantoms.
The wind whistled in their ears, and Tuoba Yu's hair danced with the wind.
After a while, they arrived in the suburbs, and before them were a vast field and rolling mountains.
Xi Yu pointed to a mountain not far ahead, which was not particularly high and said, "Yu'er, look, that's where we are going."
Tuoba Yu looked at the mountain, with a glimmer of expectation in his eyes and said, "It's so beautiful!"
The bicycle continued to move forward and gradually approached the mountain. The trees on the mountain were lush and green, as if welcoming their arrival.
While riding a bicycle, Xi Yu looked at the scenery in the distance and fell into reverie.
His eyes were a little empty, and a thoughtful look appeared on his face.
Xi Yu feels that the next step can be to develop the tourism industry.
This has always been blank and not taken as a priority.
There are so many beautiful scenery here. It would be great if it could attract foreign tourists and travel groups so that they could join the group to enter the country.
There can even be a tour guide system in previous lives, qualification examinations and other things.
Xi Yu stopped the bicycle and admired the stream under the mountain with Tuoba Yu.
The stream flows gurglingly, clear and clear. The flowers and plants by the stream sway in the wind, and the scenery is pleasant.
Tuoba Yu suddenly frowned and stopped.
Seeing this, Xi Yu asked with concern: "What's wrong, Yu'er?"
Tuoba Yu bit his lip and said worriedly: "I remembered Tuoba Lu. He has always been arrogant. How could he take the initiative to apologize to me? This must be Tian Chong's idea. They are playing the show, the purpose is to let more Xianbei people enter the Central Plains, and I just want me to say a few good words in front of the emperor."
After hearing Tuoba Yu's words, Xi Yu fell into deep thought.
He comforted, "Don't think too much. Maybe they really regret it? We can't deny other people's sincerity just by guessing."
Tuoba Yu sighed and said, "I hope so. But I don't think this is that simple."
Xi Yu nodded and said, "No matter what, we must remain vigilant. If they really have any intentions, we must not let them succeed."
Tuoba Yu looked at Xi Yu, nodded, and said, "Well, I understand."
Xi Yu smiled and said, "Let's go, let's continue to enjoy the scenery."
As they said that, they continued to walk along the stream.
The sun shines on them, reflecting their happy smiles.
After a while, Xi Yu and Tuoba Yu discovered that there was a vineyard around.
In the garden, an old man with gray hair was holding scissors to trim the branches of the vines.
The two looked at each other and decided to go into the garden to take a look.
As soon as they walked to the gate of the garden, the old man saw them and his face suddenly showed a happy expression.
Xi Yu walked up and greeted the old man with a smile: "Hello, old man! We passed by here and saw your vineyard. We thought it was very interesting, so we wanted to come in and take a look."
The old man put down the scissors in his hand and smiled kindly and said, "Welcome! Where did you come from?"
Xi Yu replied: "We came from Youzhou City. Old man, it must be very hard for you to manage this vineyard alone, right?"
The old man waved his hand and said, "It's not hard or hard, I like to take care of these grapes. I feel so happy to see them grow up day by day."
Xi Yu nodded and asked again: "Then is your life okay? Is your income enough?"
The old man smiled and said, "It's not bad. Although my vineyard is not big, I can get some harvest every year, which is enough for me to live. Moreover, I have grown some vegetables and raised a few chickens, and my life is fulfilling."
After hearing the old man's words, Xi Yu felt a little relieved. He looked at the old man's wrinkled face and said with emotion: "You are such a hardworking old man!"
The old man smiled embarrassedly and said, "When people live, they have to find something to do. I can't do anything else with this old bone, so I can only grow grapes."
Xi Yu and the old man chatted for a while, and Tuoba Yu listened quietly on the side, occasionally interjecting a sentence or two. The garden was filled with laughter and joy, as if they were a family.
At this moment, a sharp voice broke the harmony.
A man walked over with a few thugs.
He looked at the old man and asked with a smile: "Old man, you live a happy life! When will you pay back the money you owe us?"
The old man's face turned pale in an instant, and he stammered: "I...I will pay it back as soon as possible..."
The man sneered and said, "As soon as possible? How long have you been delaying? I think you don't want to pay it back!"
Xi Yu looked at the man, frowned, and asked, "Brother, what's going on?"
The man looked Xi Yu up and down, and saw that he was dressed in extraordinary clothes, he felt a little afraid, but he still bit the bullet and said, "What's your business? This old man owes us money, it's natural for us to collect the debt!"
Xi Yu looked at the old man and the man again, and he already understood the rough idea in his heart.
He said in a deep voice: "It's certainly true that you are owing debts to pay back money. But it seems a bit too much for you to force an old man like this?"
The man felt even more upset after hearing Xi Yu's words. He said arrogantly: "Stop meddling in other people's business! I can do whatever I want!"
The old man's voice suddenly rang behind them.
He shouted: "They used improper means to make me owed debts! So their debts are unreasonable!"
A look of surprise appeared on Xi Yu's face. He looked at the man, and a trace of anger flashed in his eyes.
Tuoba Yu was also surprised. She pulled Xi Yu's sleeve and said, "We'd better stop worrying about this little thing..."
But Xi Yu shook Tuoba Yu's hand away. He frowned and said firmly: "No, I'll take care of this matter!"
Xi Yu said: "Old man, don't be afraid. With me here, they dare not do anything to you."
The old man looked at Xi Yu gratefully and said, "Little brother, thank you..."
Xi Yu looked at the man and said coldly: "You use illegal means to force someone to owe debts. This is an illegal act. I advise you to stop quickly."
The man felt a little panicked after hearing Xi Yu's words, but he pretended to be calm and said, "Don't scare me! It's natural to pay back the debt!"
Outside the manor where Liu Xie lives, the soldiers guarding the gate were standing guard vigilantly.
One of the soldiers named Chen Facai thought to himself.
Chen Facai suddenly remembered the arrival of a soldier from the Prime Minister's Mansion.
The soldier strode, took out the Prime Minister's token, and said seriously: "I am a soldier from the Prime Minister's Mansion. I have important things to tell you."
Chen Facai and the other soldiers immediately stood up and stared at the soldier.
The soldier continued: "The Prime Minister gave orders that two Xianbei people may come to see Your Majesty. If it is not better, if this is the case, they will definitely not let them see Your Majesty. Then they will say that Your Majesty cannot meet you casually, and if there is anything to do, please contact the Prime Minister."
When Chen Facai heard this, he showed a surprised expression on his face. He couldn't help but ask, "Why is this? How could His Majesty not be able to see the Xianbei people?"
The soldier glared at Chen Facai and said sternly: "This is the Prime Minister's order, you just need to do it!"
Although Chen Facai was a little confused, he nodded and said, "Yes, I understand."
After the soldier turned and left, Chen Facai was thinking about this matter in his heart. He felt something was wrong, but he couldn't say it.
He decided to pay more attention when the Xianbei people arrived and see what would happen.
After a while, Chen Facai and another soldier indeed saw two Xianbei people coming over, one of whom was holding a jar of wine.
Tuoba Road and Hotan rushed to the door of the manor.
When Tian Chong saw Chen Facai and another soldier, he quickly bowed politely and said, "Hello, two soldiers, we are Xianbei people, so I'm here to ask for your Majesty."
Chen Facai looked them up and down and asked, "Where are you coming from? What's the matter with him?"
Tian Chong smiled and replied, "We are Xianbei people from the north. We have long admired Your Majesty's kindness in our hearts, so we came to pay our respects. This is a little bit of tribute we brought. I hope the military men can be more comfortable and let us meet Your Majesty."
Chen Facai looked at the wine they brought and said, "Your Majesty is not something that ordinary people can see just by wanting. If you have any important things, go and find the Prime Minister."
Tuoba Lu quickly said, "We have nothing important to come here this time. We just want to see Your Majesty's style. I hope Jun Ye can do it for convenience."
Chen Facai shook his head and said, "No, you might as well please come back."
Tuoba Lu and Tian Chong looked at each other, feeling a little disappointed. They didn't expect that it would be so difficult to see the emperor.
Chen Facai looked at Tuoba Lu and Tian Chong and said expressionlessly: "If you don't leave, don't blame us for being polite."
Tuoba Lu and Tian Chong looked at each other helplessly and had to turn around and leave.
After walking for a while, Tuoba Lu angrily threw the wine jar in his hand to the ground. The wine jar instantly shattered and the wine splashed all over the floor.
Tian Chong frowned and analyzed, "This must be Xi Yu's conspiracy. He may have guessed that we would come here to see His Majesty, so he made preparations in advance."
Tuoba Lu nodded after hearing this, and said, "You have made sense. This movie is so hateful!"
Tuoba Lu's face was gloomy and gritted his teeth and said, "Let's go back to the inn! I want to vent all my displeasure on Liu Maohai and torture him hard!"
Tian Chong nodded, followed Tuoba Lu without saying a word.
Back at the inn, Tuoba Lu asked someone to take Liu Maohai out of the cage.
Liu Maohai was lying inside and sleeping, and was taken out.
Tuoba Lu's actions woke up.
Tuoba Lu rushed up and grabbed Liu Maohai's collar and fell to the ground.
Liu Maohai screamed in pain, while Tuoba Lu rode on him and punched him in the face one after another.
Tian Chong stood aside, watching Tuoba Lu vent his anger, and a look of helplessness appeared on his face.
After a while of fighting, Tuoba Lu was so tired that he was panting. He got off Liu Maohai and gasped.
In order to better humiliate Liu Maohai, Tuoba Lu asked his followers to press Liu Maohai in the toilet.
Liu Maohai struggled, his face full of fear, and cursed: "Tuoba Lu, you must die a little! You dare to treat me like this, and I will not let you go even if I become a ghost!"
When Tuoba Lu heard this, his face became more and more gloomy. He stepped on Liu Maohai's face and crushed it hard, saying contemptuously: "You are just an ant now, how dare you threaten me?"
An hour later, Tuoba Lu looked at Liu Maohai who was already dying, and a trace of ruthlessness flashed in his eyes.
He said coldly: "Kill him and throw him into the wilderness, and let him corpse in the wilderness!"
The followers received the order, and one of them took out a dagger and stabbed Liu Maohai in the heart...
Tuoba Lu stood up and said to Tian Chong: "We will go back to Xianbei to train troops and prepare to fight to the death with the Central Plains!"
Tian Chong nodded and said, "Okay, we must make that bastard Xi Yu pay the price!"
Tuoba Lu and Hotan Chong left the inn and headed for the Xianbei. Their hearts were filled with hatred and anger, and they vowed to avenge the humiliation they suffered.
Tian Chong frowned, looked at Tuoba Lu, and thought secretly in his heart.
He knew that the Xianbei people were not sure of winning in attacking the Central Plains, but now he did not want to comfort Tuoba Lu.
Xi Yu's behavior has exceeded their bottom line.
After they left, the inn shopkeeper quickly came out of the inner room and saw Liu Maohai in a miserable death, and his face was pale because of his fright.
He pointed at Liu Maohai's body with trembling fingers and shouted to the waiter: "What are you still standing there? Why don't you clean up here!"
