Jin Gushun came to the transit of Youzhou with an anxious look on his face. He gasped heavily, and a hint of nervousness and excitement appeared in his eyes.
"I brought the news about Tuoba Tianlong, I want to meet Lord Xi Yu!" Jin Gushun shouted to the soldiers.
The soldier was a little hesitant, but decided to let it go. He waved his hand and signaled that Jin Gushun could go in.
Jin Gushun quickly walked into the Prime Minister's Mansion, and his heartbeat became faster and faster, as if he was about to jump out of his throat.
Finally, he saw Xi Yu, and saw Xi Yu sitting at the table, his face gloomy and a hint of majesty was revealed in his eyes.
"What news did you bring about Tuoba Tianlong?" Xi Yu's voice was low and powerful, as if it could penetrate a person's soul.
Jin Gushun had a look of unnatural expression on his face. He lowered his head slightly, his eyes flashing a little.
"Master, after the villain returned, he had told Tuoba Tianlong truthfully what you said, "Just." Jin Gushun's voice was slightly trembling.
Xi Yu narrowed his eyes slightly and stared at Jin Gushun tightly, as if he noticed a trace of strangeness.
Jin Gushun continued, "But, Tuoba Tianlong...he was very angry." A little sweat broke out on Jin Gushun's forehead.
Xi Yu frowned and asked, "What did he say?"
Jin Gushun took a deep breath, lie with a sting, "He, he claims that your words are nothing. He said he would never hand over Tuoba Lu, and said that he had the ability to let you go in person."
After saying this, Jin Gushun's eyes became even more erratic and he did not dare to look directly at Xi Yu.
Xi Yu frowned slightly and asked suspiciously: "Tuoba Tianlong really said that?"
His eyes were staring at Jin Gushun, as if he wanted to see a flaw in his face.
Jin Gushun looked firm, nodded vigorously, and replied, "It's true! How could I deceive you in this matter? At that time, Lu Zhe, who was beside him, also said in anger that although the leader and Tuoba Lu were not in line, he didn't care about Xi Yu's affairs. Xi Yu's arm was too long."
Xi Yu's face suddenly became extremely gloomy, and he snorted coldly: "What a courage! They dare to be so arrogant!" An angry light flashed in his eyes.
Jin Gushun stood aside, feeling nervous. He didn't know if his lies would be discovered, so he could only pray secretly that he could get away with it.
Xi Yu's face was so gloomy that he clenched his fists tightly, with anger in his tone.
"This incident really makes me very angry!" His eyes glared ahead, as if they were about to spit out fire.
"Okay, go and rest."
When Jin Gushun heard this, a trace of surprise flashed in his eyes.
He immediately nodded and said, "Yes, yes, sir. Then I'll go to the guest room to rest."
Xi Yu pointed to the direction of the guest room last time and said coldly: "You'd better live there."
After saying that, Xi Yu looked solemn and ordered to the soldiers at the door: "Go and invite Zhuge Liang, Zhao Yun and Zhou Yu." His voice was calm and firm.
After a while, the three of them arrived one after another.
Zhao Yun and Zhou Yu arrived first, and Xi Yu nodded slightly, signaling them to sit down and wait first, with a hint of calmness and calmness in their eyes.
And when Zhuge Liang was the last one to come.
Jin Gushun quietly hid in the bushes in the yard and watched, his face filled with unconcealed joy, as if he was expecting something.
Jin Gushun had no choice but to go back to the guest room honestly.
While walking, he looked back from time to time, with a little unwillingness on his face, obviously wanting to eavesdrop on what Xi Yu was saying.
However, when he saw the soldiers standing in front of the door, he immediately gave up this idea and became more cautious.
"I wonder what the Prime Minister asked us to come here?"
Xi Yu took out poker.
Zhuge Liang looked at Xi Yu and took out the poker and asked in surprise: "Prime Minister, are you asking us to come here just to play poker?"
Xi Yu smiled relaxedly and said, "Yes, come on, let's just play cards, don't worry about everything else."
His expression was calm, as if this was a very ordinary thing.
Zhao Yun and Zhou Yu were also stunned, looked at each other, and were at a loss.
Did you call them here just for this?
They spent an hour at the poker table and finally finished.
Xi Yu waved his hand and said lightly: "You guys go back."
His expression was calm and he seemed to have no special intention.
Zhuge Liang couldn't control his doubts. He frowned, stared at Xi Yu, and asked, "I dare to ask Prime Minister, what medicine are you selling in this gourd?"
Xi Yu's mouth raised slightly, revealing a mysterious smile, and whispered: "The secret of heaven cannot be revealed."
His voice was low and firm, as if there was something important secret hidden.
In the evening, Jin Gushun came to Xi Yu with anticipation and asked carefully: "Sir, can I go out for a trip?"
Xi Yu nodded slightly and replied casually: "Go." His tone was very casual.
After hearing this, Jin Gushun was so excited that his eyes lit up, and his face immediately showed an ecstatic expression, and he muttered to himself: "That's great!"
Then I couldn't wait to go out to have fun and drink.
Late at night, Jin Gushun returned to the Prime Minister's Mansion drunk.
At this time, two soldiers were walking in the yard. After seeing Jin Gushun, they walked up and said with a serious expression: "Don't go back to the guest room, come with us." Their voices were cold and there was no emotion at all.
Jin Gushun asked with a puzzled look: "What the hell is going on? Why do you do this?"
The two soldiers replied indifferently: "Don't ask anything, just follow us." Their tone was stiff and there was no room for negotiation.
Jin Gushun sighed helplessly and had to follow them to a free room.
As soon as he entered the door, he saw Xi Yu and Tuoba Yu sitting on chairs.
Jin Gushun was surprised.
Jin Gushun hurriedly saluted Xi Yu and asked respectfully: "Prime Minister, I wonder why you sent someone to bring me here?"
Xi Yu stared at Jin Gushun with a sharp look and said in a serious tone: "To be honest, what is going on? What did Tuoba Tianlong say? Have you conveyed my meaning to him?" His brows frowned slightly, revealing a sense of majesty.
Jin Gushun was shocked, but on the surface he tried hard to show calmness.
He straightened his body and replied, "Prime Minister, what the villain said is correct."
A hint of undetectable panic flashed across his face, but it was soon covered by calmness.
Tuoba Yu looked at Jin Gushun coldly and said sternly: "If you don't tell the truth, you will accept greater punishment!"
Xi Yu narrowed his eyes slightly, looked at Jin Gushun, and said slowly: "You should feel particularly honored to be able to interrogate this prime minister himself."
Jin Gushun gritted his teeth and replied firmly: "Everything I said is true, and there is no falsehood!"
His face was full of stubbornness, and his eyes were firmly looking at Xi Yu and Tuoba Yu.
Xi Yu's lips raised slightly, looked at Jin Gushun with a smile, and said, "I have seen that your eyes are unnatural. On the surface, you have fooled me, but in fact, I am playing with you in my palms.
"His voice was neither high nor low, but it had an irresistible majesty.
When Jin Gushun heard this, he felt confused and confused. He widened his eyes, his face full of doubts and confusion.
At this moment, a breeze outside blew into the room.
Jin Gushun suddenly felt a chill in front of him.
It seemed like Tuoba Lu and others were asking for his life.
Xi Yu continued to explain: "When the Prime Minister asked Zhuge Liang and the three of them to come to the room, did you secretly peek at them?"
Jin Gushun was stunned again, with a look of shock on his face, and he thought to himself: "Why do you feel that everything about me is controlled by Xi Yu?"
Jin Gushun calmed down and quickly said, "Prime Minister, the villain didn't peek! I didn't enter the guest room at that time, just wandered around the yard. Moreover, I had seen those three people enter your room."
His voice trembled slightly, and a few beads of sweat appeared on his forehead.
Xi Yu continued to explain that he called the three of them to the room, just to make a show.
Kim Gusun may think he is discussing the attack on the Xianbei, but in fact they are just poker.
Xi Yu frowned and said seriously: "I asked you to come here just to play around, really not to discuss any military and national affairs."
When Jin Gushun heard this, he was shocked, widened his eyes and stammered: "What? How is this possible?"
Xi Yu shook his head helplessly and said, "Don't be so surprised, this is the truth."
Jin Gusun still couldn't believe it and murmured to himself: "I thought it was"
Xi Yu shrugged and said, "You think you are wrong, so we just play around with it. It seems that you admitted to peeking. "Actually, you don't have to ask those three people to act like this. Wouldn't you just be able to interrogate you directly?"
Xi Yu hugged his hands in front of his chest, tilted his head slightly, and a hint of pride was revealed in his eyes.
"But I just want to be so troublesome, haha, it's purely because it's fun."
After saying that, Xi Yu raised his head and laughed, and the laughter echoed in the room.
Jin Gushun's face became extremely ugly. He gritted his teeth, his eyes full of anger.
Is this being fooled?"
But he still stubbornly said, "I'm not lying!"
Seeing this, Xi Yu shook his head helplessly, then waved his hand and said in a deep voice: "Come on, bring the torture instrument!"
After a while, the soldiers walked in with various torture instruments, and the torture instruments flashed with a cold light under the light.
Xi Yu turned to look at Tuoba Yu and asked, "Tuoba Yu, can you see this?"
Tuoba Yu had a expressionless face, his eyes were firm, he raised his chin slightly, and said, "Hmph, I am different from those women in the Central Plains, so I won't be afraid." There was a hint of stubbornness and perseverance on her face.
Jin Gushun looked righteous and frowned, and said to Xi Yu earnestly: "Prime Minister, you can't use torture! This is a means used by despicable villains. You are the prime minister who everyone praises. How can you act like this?"
Xi Yu responded coldly with a sharp look on his face, "Don't talk nonsense! This is the punishment he deserves."
Soon, Jin Gushun's miserable scream came from the room.
He rolled on the ground, moaning in pain, and was beaten torn apart for a while.
Jin Gushun said in a trembling voice: "I...I did lie, now I am willing to tell the truth...please stop beating..."
Tuoba Yu sneered, his tone full of irony.
"Why do you have to suffer before you say it? Wouldn't it be better if that would have happened?"
Next, Xi Yu waved his hand and signaled the soldiers to stop.
Jin Gushun gasped, his face pale as paper.
He lowered his head and said in a trembling voice: "It was me... who set a fire and burned Lu Zhe, Tuoba Lu and others to death... I just came to lie on purpose. Because... I hope you will attack Xianbei..."
There was complex emotions flashing in his eyes, both fear and a hint of determination.
When Xi Yu heard this, his brows frowned tightly, his eyes filled with shock and anger.
He shouted sternly: "You did such a bold and reckless thing!"
Tuoba Yu stared at Jin Gushun angrily, yelling: "You... dare to lie..."
At the same time, after hearing the news of "Brother's death", Tuoba Yu's face instantly showed a look of shock. Her eyes widened and her mouth was slightly open, as if she could not believe this fact.
"My brother...he was actually dead..." Tuoba Yu murmured to himself, his voice full of shock and pain.
Then, her eyes gradually became wet, and tears poured out uncontrollably. She started crying and her body trembled slightly.
Seeing this, Xi Yu hurriedly walked to Tuoba Yu, patted her shoulder gently, and comforted her: "Tuoba Yu, be sad and follow the changes. We must be strong and avenge your brother."
Then, Xi Yu's face became extremely gloomy. He glared wide, his forehead was full of blue veins, and he roared, "Come on, kill this Jin Gushun!"
A few soldiers came over quickly and took Jin Gu away.
Jin Gushun knew that he had no way to live, so he stopped begging for mercy.
While hugging Tuoba Yu, Xi Yu gently patted her back and comforted her softly: "Don't be afraid, I'm here."
Tuoba Yu lay in Xi Yu's arms, tears kept flowing. She choked and said, "Once upon a time, I hated my brother, but later I stopped hating him. But I didn't expect that he would die like this." Her voice was filled with endless sadness and regret.
Tuoba Yu cried heartbrokenly, tears gushed out like a flood that broke through the dam, and her body trembled constantly because of excessive sadness.
She had originally fantasized about the scene of meeting her brother after seeing her. She couldn't wait.
Seeing this, Xi Yu felt very distressed. He quickly stepped forward and picked up Tuoba Yu, and said softly: "Stop crying, I'm here."
Then, Xi Yu picked her up.
When he arrived at Tuoba Yu's room, Xi Yu gently placed her on the bed.
Tuoba Yu suppressed the grief, raised his hand to wipe the tears from the corners of his eyes, forced a smile, and said, "I'm fine, don't worry too much." Her voice was slightly hoarse.
Xi Yu looked at Tuoba Yu's sad look, frowned slightly, and said softly: "If you are still so sad, why not postpone the wedding date later, okay?"
Tuoba Yu shook his head, showed a firm expression on his face, and said, "No need to do this, just follow the original plan, and there is no need to change it at will. Besides, in the words of you Central Plains people, this can be considered a joy."
Xi Yu looked at Tuoba Yu with a smile, his eyes full of admiration and tenderness.
He whispered: "Tuoba Yu, you are really a very understanding and good girl."
Tuoba Yu turned red slightly, lowered her head and said shyly: "I just did what I should have done."
There was a little embarrassment in her voice, but there was a glimmer of joy in her eyes.
Xi Yu returned to the room, frowned slightly, thinking.
Tomorrow, I will send someone to the inn to find Xiao Cui and the others and ask them to go home directly. Tuoba Lu is dead.
The next day, a soldier did as Xi Yu ordered to do this.
After Xiao Cui learned about Tuoba Lu's death, her face showed irrepressible excitement. She said excitedly: "It's great, my father's revenge can finally be avenged!"
There was a light of joy in her eyes, as if the knot of her heart that had been in its for many days had finally been untied.
However, a hint of regret also appeared on her face. She sighed and muttered to herself: "What a pity, he died unexpectedly. I originally hoped that he could be judged by Xi Yu to death."
There was a little regret in her eyes.
Qian Guoqiang looked at Xiao Cui with gentleness in his eyes.
"Xiao Cui, no matter what, the shopkeeper's matter has been resolved. It's time for us to go back."
Xiao Cui nodded slightly, revealing a hint of fatigue in her eyes, but also a little peace of mind.
Qian Guoqiang slowly stretched out his hand, grabbed Xiao Cui's hand, snatched it hard, and said solemnly: "Although the shopkeeper is gone, I will take care of you in the future."
A hint of blush appeared on Xiao Cui's face. She lowered her head slightly and said shyly: "Thank you, Brother Qian, when I finish filial piety for my father, I will marry you."
When Qian Guoqiang heard this, a bright smile suddenly burst out on his face, and a glimmer of joy flashed in his eyes. He said excitedly: "Okay, I'll wait for you!"
Then, the two of them held hands and left the inn together. Their steps were light and firm, as if they were heading towards a bright future.
On the Xianbei side, a feeling of uneasiness suddenly surged in Tuoba Tianlong's heart.
He frowned and thought to himself that Lu Zhe and others would go there this time, but I wonder if it would be successful.
At the same time, a doubt spread in his heart.
He couldn't help but wonder: Will Lu Zhe be instigated by Tuoba Lu?
No, no, Lu Zhe has always been loyal, and he should not be easily incited.
Tuoba Tianlong tried hard to convince himself in his heart, but the trace of worry was still lingering.
Tuoba Tianlong frowned and immediately became worried again.
Immediately afterwards, he sighed heavily and began to complain.
After all, Lu Zhe and Tuoba Lu cooperated well before, so Lu Zhe shouldn't have been allowed to go there.
But what's the use of regret now?
His eyes became dull, as if he had lost hope.
