Tuoba Yu finally didn't have the courage to enter. She turned pale and turned around and ran away quickly.
When Xi Yu heard the movement, he hurriedly got out of bed and rushed to the hall without even putting his shoes on.
When Ouyang Linlin saw him coming out, she mistakenly thought he wanted to eat, so she stood up to greet her, and said with a concerned smile on her face, "Husband, are you hungry?"
Xi Yu looked anxious and didn't care about Ouyang Linlin's words at all. He asked directly: "Is Tuoba Yu back?"
Ouyang Linlin shook her head, with a hint of confusion in her eyes.
Without saying a word, Xi Yu turned around and rushed outside, the corner of his clothes flew in the wind.
Xiaohong looked at Xi Yu's back as he rushed out, frowned, and muttered with concern: "Prime Minister seems to be crazy."
When Ouyang Linlin heard Xiaohong's words, she felt as if she was stunned, and her eyes were staring ahead without moving.
Seeing this, Xiaohong asked Ouyang Linlin anxiously: "Miss, what's wrong with you?"
Ouyang Linlin was stunned, slowly came to her senses, sighed softly, her expression was distorted, and she murmured: "If I leave willfully, will my husband be sad for me?"
Xiaohong quickly grabbed Ouyang Linlin's hand, looked nervous, and advised: "Miss, don't think too much."
Ouyang Linlin smiled slightly, her smile was a little bitter. She waved her hand gently and said, "Xiaohong, don't worry, I am just thinking about it."
There was a hint of helplessness and self-deprecating look in her eyes, and her long eyelashes were trembling slightly.
Xiaohong looked at Ouyang Linlin's appearance and said with distress: "Miss, don't say that. I feel uncomfortable when you are like this." As she said that, her eyes turned red.
Ouyang Linlin reached out and gently touched Xiaohong's head, comforting her: "Silly girl, I'm really fine, don't worry about me."
Xi Yu ran out, his heartbeat accelerated rapidly, and every breath was anxious and anxious.
His eyes quickly scanned around, not letting go of any corner, and he was full of hope to see Tuoba Yu.
"Tuoba Yu, where are you?" he shouted anxiously in his heart.
However, there is the shadow of Tuoba Yu around.
"Impossible, my intuition is not wrong, he must have been here!" Xi Yu thought firmly in his heart, his steps became more and more flustered, and fine beads of sweat appeared on his forehead.
"Have she been hiding again? Or has she left? No, no, I must find her!"
After a while, Xi Yu still found nothing.
He gasped, his steps gradually slowed down, and doubt began to arise in his heart: "Is it really that I was wrong in the guess? No, no, I clearly felt that she was nearby."
However, reality is cruelly placed before you, and there is no trace of Tuoba Yu.
Xi Yu's concern gradually turned to anger. He clenched his fists tightly, his nails almost embedded in his flesh.
Full of anger and loss were intertwined, and Xi Yu turned around helplessly and walked towards the inn.
Every step seems so heavy.
When he returned to the inn, Xi Yu looked gloomy and gritted his teeth and said to Ouyang Linlin: "After the meal, leave immediately. No matter Tuoba Yu, even if she comes back now, she won't want her anymore!" Angry flames burned in his eyes, and blue veins swelled up on his forehead.
Ouyang Linlin, Xiaohong and Song Shuwen looked at each other.
Ouyang Linlin frowned slightly, her eyes full of worry, and she wanted to speak but stopped.
Xiaohong opened her mouth, as if she wanted to say something, but in the end she didn't say anything.
For a moment, the whole room fell into silence, and the atmosphere was so depressing that it made people breathless.
Then, the four men rode away.
Xi Yu's face was still so gloomy. He held the reins tightly, his body stretched straight, and his eyes were staring straight ahead, as if he was about to stare into the air in front of him.
Ouyang Linlin rode on the horse, looking at Xi Yu worriedly from time to time, pursing her lips slightly, and trying to comfort her several times, but she didn't know where to start.
Xiaohong and the others also looked solemn, and they did not dare to speak out to break the dull atmosphere.
The horse's hooves raised dust, and the four of them galloped forward silently.
When Xi Yu and the other four arrived at the border, they saw that the guards were facing a great enemy in an instant. They all held weapons and stared at them with vigilance, and immediately became prepared.
Xi Yu's face became more and more serious, and he thought to himself: "For the Kushan Empire, it is indeed an extraordinary period. Usually, the two countries will not be so strict in their defense. After all, it is not like in previous lives, and the situation is not so tense." He frowned, and there was a hint of worry in his eyes.
Several soldiers said to Xi Yu and others with a serious face but polite expression: "Everyone, if you enter the Kushan Kingdom, there is no need. Let's go back quickly, it's very chaotic now." Their eyes were filled with a bit of sincerity and worry.
Xi Yu's eyes were firm and he said without hesitation: "I have to go!" His face was full of determination, and his hands holding the reins were white.
When the soldiers heard this, their faces were full of surprise. One of the soldiers widened their eyes and said in disbelief: "You have to think clearly about this. There are really many dangers there!"
Xi Yu took a deep breath and said loudly: "I have decided, I hope it will be convenient." His eyes stared at the soldiers without any intention of retreating.
Xi Yu nodded slightly and said solemnly: "I understand that it is difficult for the Kushan Empire to enter the Central Plains now. Although the people in the Central Plains can enter, it is really unnecessary. I know that you are also for the people in the Central Plains." His eyes were sincere and sincere, and the eyes of the soldiers were understanding.
The soldiers looked at each other, still with a look of embarrassment on their faces.
Xi Yu straightened his back and said firmly again: "But I have a reason to go, so please let me go."
There was unquestionable determination in his eyes, and his tight pursed lips showed his determination.
Ouyang Linlin's face showed guilt. She lowered her head, frowned, and thought to herself: "It's all because of my business that everyone is in such a dangerous place. I'm so sorry for them."
Xi Yu glanced at her, and from her dim eyes and tightly pursed lips, she probably knew what she was thinking.
He turned slightly, approached Ouyang Linlin, and whispered: "Don't think about it randomly, don't worry about anything, I'm here."
His eyes were firm and gentle, as if they could give people endless power.
Ouyang Linlin raised her head, looked at Xi Yu, tears flashed in her eyes, and nodded gently.
The soldiers suddenly looked at each other, and there seemed to have reached a tacit understanding between their eyes.
One of the soldiers showed a kind smile on his face and said to Xi Yu: "Since that's the case, don't be in a hurry for a while. Why not stay and drink a sip of water?" His eyes were filled with some expectation.
Xi Yu hesitated for a moment and looked at his companions beside him. Seeing that everyone was tired, he nodded and agreed: "Thank you then." A hint of gratitude appeared on his face.
So everyone followed the soldiers into the house to have tea.
Walking into the room, Xi Yu looked around, secretly guessing the soldiers' intentions of this move.
After a while, the tea came.
Song Shuwen sniffed a little, his brows frowned instantly, and a hint of alertness flashed in his eyes.
He quietly put his lips to Xi Yu's ears, lowered his voice and said, "Prime Minister, something is wrong with this tea, I'm afraid there is a fraud!"
When Xi Yu heard this, he felt a stern, but his face remained calm. He nodded slightly, indicating that he had a clear idea.
At this time, the soldiers impatiently urged everyone to have tea.
At this tense moment, a puppy ran in happily.
Xi Yu's eyes turned, and he thought about it. A calm smile appeared on his face, and he said, "It's so hot that it's better to give the dog some drinks to relieve the heat."
After saying that, he brought the teacup to the dog, but his eyes were secretly watching the soldiers' reactions.
The soldiers' faces changed suddenly and they exchanged uneasy eyes with each other. None of this could escape the observation of Song Shuwen and Xi Yu.
Xiaohong, who was standing aside, was puzzled and muttered to herself: "Why are you giving such good tea to the dog?"
But she looked at the tense atmosphere around her and swallowed her questions back into her stomach, but she only showed doubts in her eyes.
A soldier suddenly opened his eyes wide open, stared at Xi Yu fiercely, and shouted loudly: "What do you mean? You actually gave the dog the tea we worked hard to drink. Isn't this an insult to us?"
Xi Yu was not afraid at all. He met the angry gaze of the soldiers and said slowly: "Brother, don't get angry. I just saw that this dog was pitifully hot and was just kind-hearted."
The soldier's face turned pale and gritted his teeth and said, "Stop quibbling here, I think you are just trying to find fault!"
Xi Yu hugged his chest with his hands and said calmly: "If this tea is really fine, what's the point of giving it to the dog? Are you guilty?"
The soldiers were speechless for a moment and their expressions became more and more panicked.
The dog immediately drank the tea and fell into a coma in an instant.
Seeing this, Xi Yu couldn't help but sneer, staring at the soldiers with a torch, and asked, "What can you explain in this situation?"
Several soldiers looked at each other, making them even more embarrassed.
They were at a loss and fine beads of sweat emerged from their foreheads.
The soldier in the lead turned red, hesitated for a while, and finally admitted: "Yes, we did have medicine in the tea."
Xi Yu hugged his chest with his hands, raised his eyebrows, and asked, "Then why do you do this?"
The soldier in charge sighed and said, "We have absolutely no intention of harming others. We are in no way hiding it. We have no grudges and grudges with you. We just want to fascinate everyone and prevent you from entering the Kushan Empire. It is too chaotic there, and there are disputes everywhere. If you go, you may have a worry about life."
After saying that, deep concern appeared in his eyes.
Xi Yu frowned slightly, thinking in his heart about the soldiers' words.
Song Shuwen, who was standing beside him, looked angry and shouted loudly: "How can you make such a good decision? Even if the Kushan Empire is in danger, it should be up to us to decide!"
The soldiers lowered their heads and looked guilty, and one of them muttered in a low voice: "We are also kind-hearted and do not want to see innocent people die."
Xi Yu was silent for a moment, then slowly said, "We have understood your kindness, but we will judge what the future will be." At this time, his expression was extremely firm.
The soldier in charge said: "Since many people in the Kushan Empire wanted to escape and did not want to join the army, the king there was now crazy and hated the people in the Central Plains. He even committed revenge on the people in the Central Plains." He said, his face full of anxiety and helplessness, and his eyes revealed his fear of the current situation of the Kushan Empire.
After hearing this, Xi Yu frowned and thought to himself: The Kushan Empire is so chaotic.
But he quickly recovered his calmness and said firmly: "This is our decision, don't worry."
The soldier's eyes widened and said anxiously: "But, this is really too dangerous. You will die if you go!" His face was full of worries and confusion.
Xi Yu looked firm and looked straight into the soldiers' eyes, with a tough tone: "We have our own sense of responsibility. Even if the road ahead is difficult, we will never retreat." There was no hesitation or fear on his face.
Song Shuwen, who was standing beside him, also echoed: "That's right, we won't be scared by difficulties." He clenched his fists, his expression full of perseverance.
The soldier in charge shook his head helplessly and sighed, "Okay, since you are so determined, I wish you good luck."
A complex feeling of admiration and worry appeared in his eyes.
So after a while, the soldiers hesitated for a while, and finally let Xi Yu and others go.
Xi Yu and others did not hesitate and took firm steps to finally embark on the territory of the Kushan Empire.
After they left, the soldiers in charge looked at their far away backs, frowned, their eyes filled with sighs, and murmured to themselves: "I don't know if it's a blessing or a disaster when I go."
The other soldiers came over and said indifferently: "Boss, since they are seeking death, then don't worry about them."
The soldier in charge glared at him and scolded him, "What do you know! They may be going here for the belief in their hearts, and this courage is also worthy of admiration."
After saying that, he sighed deeply again and turned away. The heavy back seemed to carry concerns about the unknown fate.
At this moment, in the royal palace of the Kushan Kingdom, Chachatu was holding a meeting with a gloomy face.
He sat on the throne, clasped his hands tightly, and said angrily: "Now that the Kushan Empire has been invaded by foreign enemies, many people are actually thinking of escaping to the Central Plains, so I also hate the people in the Central Plains. Now I want to investigate which people in the Central Plains are still in the Kushan Empire and need to be driven out or killed immediately."
As soon as this was said, many ministers were shocked.
An older minister quickly stood up, looked frightened and said anxiously: "Your Majesty, you must not! In this way, wouldn't we offend the Central Plains? That's what we can't afford to offend. Now we can't establish too many enemies."
Another minister also echoed: "Yes, Your Majesty, the Central Plains is vast and powerful. We act like this, which is like hitting a stone with an egg." He said while wiping the cold sweat on his forehead, his eyes full of worry.
Chachatu frowned, glared at the ministers, and shouted: "Do we just let the people of the Central Plains come and go freely on our territory?"
The ministers bowed their heads one after another, not daring to look at him, and a tense silence fell into the palace.
Chachatu's face was still gloomy when he listened to the ministers' persuasion, but a hint of hesitation was revealed in his eyes.
After a while, after fierce discussion, Chachatu slowly calmed down. His brows slightly relaxed, he sighed, and said, "Oh, maybe I was blinded by anger. Then let's make a long-term plan."
The ministers then breathed a sigh of relief, and the tense atmosphere in the palace eased slightly.
After Chachatu calmed down, he fell into deep thought. The ministers were silent and did not dare to speak easily. The entire palace was filled with a depressing atmosphere.
After a long time, Chachatu slowly raised his head, glanced at the ministers, and said, "With the opinions of all my beloved ministers, how should we deal with this matter?"
A minister stepped forward and bowed and said, "Your Majesty, I think the most urgent task is to strengthen domestic defenses, resist foreign invasions, stabilize the people's hearts, rather than targeting the people of the Central Plains. Those who live and work in our country should be protected and demonstrated their magnanimity."
Another minister also continued: "Your Majesty, you still need to rectify the domestic order and severely punish those citizens who attempt to escape, so as to correct the national law. Of course, Your Majesty has already done so."
Chachatu nodded slightly and said, "Well, what you said is reasonable. Then act according to this first and do not act rashly again, so as not to cause a major disaster."
The meeting was over soon, and Chachatu had a gloomy face and immediately arrived at the bedroom in a hurry.
But at this moment, he seemed to have completely left the war behind, no longer paying attention to the crisis of the country, but was obsessed with personal desires.
He sat lazily on the couch and waved his hand to the attendants beside him: "Go and call a few princesses."
The attendant hurriedly bowed and retreated to summon the princesses.
Soon, several princesses moved their lotus steps and entered the bedroom one by one.
A look of greed and indulgence suddenly appeared on Chachatu's face. He laughed wildly and took a princess beside him into his arms.
The bedroom was filled with a luxurious atmosphere, with candlelight swaying, and the gauze curtain fluttering in the wind.
Chachatu was immersed in this decadent and corrupt life, completely ignoring the war outside and the people were living in poverty.
Some of the princesses forced themselves to smile, while others showed helplessness and sorrow in their eyes.
Behind this seemingly prosperous is the decline of the country and the unknown fate.
Xi Yu and others entered the territory of the Kushan Empire.
The Kushan Empire soldiers guarding here just looked at them coldly, but didn't say anything.
They thought that the king now hated the people of the Central Plains so much that even though these people of the Central Plains came, they might not have the fate to go out alive.
Xi Yu and others walked into a seemingly deserted tavern.
The tavern owner saw them and a trace of surprise flashed in his eyes, but he quickly returned to his peace.
Xi Yu walked forward and said politely: "Boss, can you ask you something?"
The boss looked at them vigilantly, and after a moment of silence, he slowly said, "It is not a wise move for you Central Plains people to come at this time."
Xi Yu smiled bitterly: "To be honest, we have no choice but to do so. I wonder what the situation in the Kushan Empire is now?"
