Chapter 700 Passing the message
He stopped and slapped the table suddenly, shaking the documents on the table slightly trembled.
At this time, another subordinate walked in and asked carefully: "Sir, do you need me to assist in the investigation?"
Rostianer glared at him and roared, "What are you still standing there? Go and help quickly! Be sure to find the whereabouts of Zhahu and those soldiers!"
The subordinate was so scared that he nodded quickly and hurriedly left the room.
Rostener took a deep breath and tried to calm himself down.
He knew that in this case, wrath would not solve the problem.
He sat back on his chair and began to think about possible clues and solutions.
At the same time, the entire mansion was in a tense atmosphere. Everyone knew that Lord Rostianer was furious and no one dared to take it lightly.
Xi Yu and his group finally arrived near the palace, where there were crowds of people and shops. It was indeed a very prosperous place in the Kushan Kingdom.
They were exhausted and dragged their heavy steps to a teahouse to rest.
As soon as I sat down, I heard a lot of people around me talking.
An old man frowned and said worriedly: "It's really unsettling that this king checked the map and recruited soldiers everywhere!"
A young man next to him echoed: "Yes, and the state affairs were handed over to his favorite Rostianer. Can this make people feel at ease?"
Listening to their discussion, Xi Yu thought to himself: "It seems that the situation in this Kushan country is quite complicated, and this trip may not go smoothly."
Ouyang Linlin looked angry and couldn't help but say, "Isn't this king afraid of the suffering of the people?"
Xi Yu hurriedly signaled her to silence, and at the same time observed the surroundings vigilantly.
Ouyang Linlin frowned and said to Xi Yu with an anxious look on her face: "Don't worry about the matter here, let's go to the temple directly." A hint of anxiousness and uneasiness appeared in her eyes.
Xi Yu hugged his chest with his hands, his expression firm, and retorted without hesitation: "No! We must think about the affairs of the inn." He thought to himself, how could he let go of the affairs of the inn easily?
At this time, Song Shuwen's eyes rolled and suddenly raised his voice and made a suggestion: "It's better to write a letter and ask someone to take it to the palace." There was a hint of expectation on his face, as if he was very confident in his thoughts.
Xi Yu pondered for a moment, a light of approval flashed in his eyes and said, "Well, this method is OK." As he said that, he turned around and walked towards the inn. After a while, he asked the inn for paper and pen and was about to write a letter.
After writing the letter, Xi Yu took Ouyang Linlin and Song Shuwen hurried forward.
The sun was hot, causing fine beads of sweat to emerge from their foreheads.
As we walked, a group of soldiers patrolling the road appeared in front of us.
Xi Yu took a deep breath, walked forward quickly, handed the letter in his hand to the soldier in his head, and said politely: "Sir, please hand over this letter to the king, Mr. Wang."
The soldier frowned, with a puzzled look on his face, his eyes full of suspicion and disdain, and he asked loudly: "What qualifications do a few people in the Central Plains have to order me?"
Xi Yu looked firm, met the soldiers' gaze and said calmly: "About the death of a soldier named Zhahu. If you don't want to, forget it."
The soldier was stunned when he heard this, his heart skipped a beat, and he thought to himself: "I heard that the boss is investigating this matter, isn't this right?" The expression on his face changed instantly, and changed from initial arrogance to a little hesitation.
He stared at the letter in Xi Yu's hand, his eyes flashed, and finally reached out to take it.
Xi Yu nodded slightly and said, "I'm here to help Jun Ye."
After saying that, he continued to leave with Ouyang Linlin and Song Shuwen.
The soldier was about to turn around, but suddenly shouted at Ji Yu again, with a serious expression and a little puzzled, and asked loudly: "Wait! Explain to me clearly first, how do you know Zhahu's death? Now, you must go with us to see the king!"
Xi Yu felt tight, but soon recovered from calmness. He had a smile on his face and looked at his eyes. He said to Song Shuwen: "How is it? Even if we can't think of the king, it's not okay."
Song Shuwen had no choice but to nod and responded: "Yes, Prime Minister."
The soldier led them and walked forward quickly.
The summer breeze blows gently, and the leaves on both sides of the road rustle.
Halfway through, Xi Yu raised his eyes inadvertently and saw a woman's back. The figure and walking posture looked particularly similar to Tuoba Yu. He instantly widened his eyes, his face full of disbelief and surprise, and his whole body became particularly out of control.
Before the others could react, he rushed over without hesitation and shouted loudly: "Tuoba Yu!" His voice was filled with eagerness and desire, and there was only one thought in his heart, that was, he had to confirm whether it was her.
The soldier was stunned by the sudden scene and suddenly opened his eyes wide open. He reached out to catch Xi Yu and shouted loudly: "Rareless! How dare you run around!"
Ouyang Linlin was also shocked, but soon came to her senses, quickly stopped the soldier, and said anxiously: "Stop the anger of Jun, my husband has recognized the wrong person, and will definitely come back later." Her eyes were full of pleading, but she was also secretly blaming Xi Yu for her impulse.
The soldier frowned and looked dissatisfied, but he stopped and said viciously: "Hurry up! Don't delay things!"
Xi Yu hurried to the woman anxiously and reached out to grab the woman's shoulder without hesitation.
The woman was startled by this sudden action, turned her head suddenly, her eyes wide open, her face full of fear, then her eyebrows were raised and she shouted angrily: "You, a disciple, dare to act like a hooligan in the street!"
When Xi Yu saw the woman's face, she felt like she was hit by lightning. The expectation on her face instantly turned into embarrassment and regret.
His heart skipped a beat and he secretly cried: "Oh no, I actually recognized the wrong person!"
He quickly let go of his hand, bent down and bowed constantly, his face flushed, and said anxiously: "Miss, I'm really sorry. He was reckless and admitted the wrong person. I asked a lot of girls and don't blame me."
The woman's face was still very ugly after hearing Xi Yu's apology. She held her hands in front of her chest and glared at Xi Yu and said, "Acknowledging the wrong person? Your reason is too far-fetched! You dare to touch me in broad daylight. You can't just forget about this!"
Xi Yu looked embarrassed, sweat came out of his forehead, and hurriedly apologized sincerely again: "Girl, I really recognized the wrong person on impulse, and it was definitely not intentional offense. I am willing to make compensation, just ask the girl for forgiveness."
At this time, Ouyang Linlin and the soldiers also rushed over.
Seeing this scene, Ouyang Linlin hurried forward and said with a smile to the woman, "I'm really sorry, my husband is too anxious to miss his old friend, so he committed such a foolish thing. I hope the girl will forgive me."
The soldier urged impatiently: "Stop being slow, leave quickly! The king is still waiting!"
Seeing that their attitude was quite sincere, the woman's face calmed down a little, and she snorted and said, "Forget it this time, I will definitely forgive you next time!"
Xi Yu felt relieved and thanked repeatedly: "Thank you for being magnanimous, thank you!"
Afterwards, the group continued to walk towards the palace, but Xi Yu couldn't calm down for a long time, and his heart was filled with regret for his impulsive behavior.
Xi Yu followed behind the team, his face so gloomy that it seemed as if water could drip out.
His brows were frowning tightly, his lips unconsciously pursed into a straight line, his eyes were empty and confused, and his whole body exuded a dull aura.
He felt a mess in his heart, and he kept thinking: "Tuoba Yu, where are you? Have you also suffered in a certain corner? Or have you forgotten me..."
Whenever he thought of this, his heart felt like he was pulled hard by an invisible big hand, which made him almost unable to breathe.
The sun shone on his face, but it could not dispel the haze in his heart. He was immersed in his longing and worry for Tuoba Yu, and he was completely unaware of the eyes of the people around him.
Ouyang Linlin and Xiaohong also looked at each other, and their faces were full of doubts and worries.
Ouyang Linlin frowned slightly, her eyes were puzzled, and she thought to herself: "Where did Tuoba Yu go? Just for a small matter, did she leave?"
She sighed softly. Although she hoped that there would be no other women around Xi Yu, she could not help but feel a little worried when she remembered the past.
Xiaohong bit her lip and whispered: "Madam, this Mrs. Tuoba Yu is really. She leaves as she says she doesn't have any news."
Ouyang Linlin shook her head helplessly and said, "No matter what, I hope she can be safe."
After saying that, he turned to look at Xi Yu who was still immersed in his thoughts, and a trace of complex emotions flashed in his eyes.
At this moment, they walked through an alley.
Xi Yu and others were attracted by the noisy sounds in front of them, and they saw that many soldiers were in conflict with the people here.
The people were full of anger and helplessness, while the soldiers were full of fierce looks.
A soldier leader stared at his eyes, waved the whip in his hand, and shouted loudly: "You rural guys are really ignorant! You are in danger of national crisis, and you don't let your family join the army!" His face was full of anger and disdain, as if the people in front of him were all fools who were ungrateful.
An old man stood up tremblingly, and said in a trembling voice: "Mr. Jun. We are the only one in our family. We have gone to join the army. How can we live this life?" His eyes were full of begging, and his body shivered slightly due to fear.
Another soldier stepped forward, pushed the old man fiercely, and cursed: "Stop talking nonsense! This is the king's order, and you can't help!"
Xi Yu frowned, his heart full of indignation, and thought to himself: "How can he win the hearts of the people with such a strong scramble?"
Xiaohong was so scared that she hid behind her and looked at the chaotic scene in front of her timidly.
Xi Yu and others stopped and looked at the chaotic scene in front of them with serious eyes.
Xi Yu clenched his fists, frowned, his eyes filled with anger and helplessness, and he thought to himself: "How can the people be at ease with such a forced levy?"
Ouyang Linlin looked worried, pulled Xi Yu's sleeve and muttered in a low voice: "Husband, let's not meddle in other people's business."
At this moment, the soldier who led the lead roared impatiently: "What are you looking at! Go away quickly! Don't get in the way here!" His eyes were fierce, as if he was about to eat someone.
Xi Yu took a deep breath, suppressed the anger in his heart, and turned around and left with Ouyang Linlin and Xiaohong.
On the other hand, after Tuoba Yu left that day, he felt regretful before he walked far away. "How could I be so impulsive and how could I leave him like this?" She murmured to herself, turning around in a hurry, wanting to go back to find Xi Yu as soon as possible.
She looked anxious, her eyes full of anxiety and anxiety, and she did not notice the uneven road surface under her feet.
Suddenly, Tuoba Yu staggered, "Oh!" She exclaimed and rushed forward.
But this time she fell heavily, and her head hit a rock hard. She felt the blackness in front of her eyes and fell down and fell into a coma.
Later, an old hunter passed by with his prey on his back and found Tuoba Yu unconscious on the roadside. He hurriedly put down his prey, carried Tuoba Yu carefully, and took him back to his home.
On that day, Tuoba Yu woke up slowly. She slowly opened her eyes, her eyes were confused and empty. She frowned, trying to recall something, but found a blank in her mind.
When the old hunter saw her awake, a happy smile immediately appeared on his face, his eyes were full of concern, and he hurriedly stepped forward to say hello: "Miss, you are awake!"
Tuoba Yu looked terrified and confused, and asked in a trembling voice: "Where is this? Who am I? Why don't I remember anything?" She grabbed the quilt tightly with her hands, and her body trembled slightly.
The old hunter was stunned for a moment, then said gently: "Girl, this is my home. I found you unconscious on the roadside and brought you back. As for who you are, I don't know. But don't worry, you may remember it when you are well."
Tuoba Yu's eyes became more and more confused after hearing the old hunter's words. She murmured to herself: "I can't remember anything, what should I do?" Tears rolled in her eyes, and she felt extremely panic and helpless.
The old hunter gently patted her shoulder and comforted her: "Girl, don't be anxious, this may be temporary. You should take a good rest first and keep your body well is the most important thing."
Tuoba Yu bit his lip and nodded, but his heart was still messy and filled with fear of the unknown.
In the next few days, Tuoba Yu gradually recovered some strength under the careful care of the old hunter, but his memory still did not come back.
She often sat in front of the window, staring outside in a daze, trying hard to capture the disappearing fragments of memory.
The old hunter saw it and felt pain in his heart. He tried every means to tell Tuoba Yu some interesting stories in an attempt to relieve her anxiety.
One day, Tuoba Yu suddenly said to the old hunter: "Uncle, I want to go out for a walk, maybe I can think of something."
The old hunter hesitated for a moment and nodded in agreement: "Okay, girl, but you have to be careful."
Tuoba Yu walked out of the room, and the sun shone on her, but her heart was still shrouded in haze.
But the old hunter was still worried that Tuoba Yu would walk alone. He stood at the door, looking at Tuoba Yu's back as he walked away, frowned, and muttered to himself: "This girl doesn't remember anything, what if something happens?"
After thinking about it, he decided to follow him secretly.
Tuoba Yu walked on the road, looking dazed and looking at the free eyes, trying hard to search for even a trace of familiarity in her mind. But every attempt ended in disappointment, and her face was filled with frustration and confusion.
The old hunter following behind felt distressed when he looked at Tuoba Yu like this.
Tuoba Yu walked for a while, but still had no idea. Finally, she sighed helplessly, turned around and walked towards the old hunter's home. Her steps were heavy, her eyes were dull, and her heart was filled with loss.
When the old hunter saw her coming back, he hurriedly hid aside. When Tuoba Yu entered the house, he quietly returned to his original position and pretended to be nothing.
On the other side, Xiaohong followed the team and saw a fine bead of sweat appearing on her forehead. She gasped and asked the soldier with a tired look on her face: "Mr. Jun, how long will it take to arrive?"
The soldier turned his head and looked at her, frowned slightly, and said impatiently: "Why are you so anxious? Just leave with peace of mind!"
Xiaohong pouted and complained in her heart: "Hmph, I know the fierce man, am I tired."
But he didn't dare to say anything more, so he could only follow the team silently.
After a while, the soldier suddenly turned his head, stared at Xi Yu with sharp eyes, and asked: "Who are you, what are you doing here?"
Xi Yu glanced at him and said coldly: "Let you not meddle in other people's business, don't ask more questions."
When the soldier heard this, he became angry. He widened his eyes, his face flushed, and he roared: "On the territory of the Kushan Empire, do you Central Plains people dare to be so domineering?" As he said that, he raised his hand high and was about to hit Xi Yu.
Xi Yu sneered, with a chill in his eyes and said, "It's better not to drop the slap, because Zhahu was killed by people on our side."
When the soldier heard this, his hands froze in the air. The anger on his face was instantly replaced by fear. His eyes widened and he stammered: "What? Zhahu was you."
His heart was as if it was overturning, full of shock and fear, and he never expected that this would be the case.
The soldier's hands trembled and slowly lowered them, beads of sweat the size of beans appeared on his forehead, and his voice also became trembling: "How is this possible? Who are you? Why do you kill Zhahu?"
Xi Yu looked serious and stared at the soldiers, saying, "Damn Zhahu, he has done too many unforgivable things. As for us, you don't need to know too much."
The soldier swallowed his saliva, his eyes filled with panic and at a loss, and he murmured to himself: "What should I do, what should I do?"
Ouyang Linlin interrupted, "June, we came here to tell the king the truth, and did not intend to be enemies with your country."
