Meng Huo was talking to Xi Yu with a sad face, and suddenly, a servant hurriedly came to report: "Sir, Mrs. Zhurong is back!"
When Meng Huo heard this, his face suddenly showed ecstasy. He stood up with a "scarlet" and said excitedly: "Really? It's great!"
As he said that, he raised his foot and ran out, and Xi Yu hurriedly followed.
When I arrived in the yard, I saw Mrs. Zhu Rong appearing in front of me with a haggard face.
Meng Huo's eyes were full of heartache and pity. He strode forward, as if he saw a savior, and opened his arms and hugged Mrs. Zhurong tightly, his voice was a little suffocated: "Madam, you are back, I'm really worried about it. Sorry, I've made you suffer."
Mrs. Zhurong leaned into Meng Huo's arms, with a weak smile on her face, and said softly: "I'm fine, don't worry."
Meng Huo hugged her tightly and sweared in his heart that he would protect her well in the future and never let her suffer any harm again.
At this time, Meng Huo only had Mrs. Zhurong in his eyes, as if everything around him had stopped existing. His heart was filled with the joy of losing and deep apology for Mrs. Zhurong.
Xi Yu watched this scene from the side, feeling silently happy for them.
After being hugged by Meng Huo, Mrs. Zhu Rong suddenly felt a little embarrassed, with a blush on her face and she said softly: "Oh, Meng Huo, it's not good to be seen in broad daylight."
After hearing this, Meng Huo reacted and let go of Mrs. Zhurong with some reluctance, then scratched her head, smiled foolishly, her eyes full of love.
Mrs. Zhurong looked at Meng Huo's stupid look, glared at him with a angrily, and said, "Okay. I left just to let you comfort me. Now that my goal has been achieved, I feel comforted."
Meng Huo quickly grabbed Mrs. Zhurong and said anxiously: "Madam, the Prime Minister is here."
When Mrs. Zhu Rong heard this, she showed a look of surprise on her face, frowned slightly, and asked, "How could the Prime Minister come so quickly?"
Meng Huo smiled, scratched his head and said, "The Prime Minister came back from going out and passed by here. He didn't know what had happened."
Mrs. Zhurong nodded thoughtfully, and a trace of thought flashed in her eyes.
Meng Huo looked at Mrs. Zhu Rong, with a honest smile on his face, but he was thinking about how to solve the current problems with the Prime Minister.
Meng Huo and Mrs. Zhurong entered the room together. When Mrs. Zhurong saw Xi Yu, she immediately saluted respectfully and said, "Greetings to the Prime Minister."
Xi Yu sat there with a serious expression, like a judge, looking at Meng Huo with a stern look, and said in a deep voice: "Meng Huo, don't act like this impulsively in the future."
Then, he looked at Mrs. Zhurong again, and his tone eased a little, "And you, Mrs. Zhurong, don't leave home at any time, what kind of morality is it."
Meng Huo and Mrs. Zhurong looked at each other, and Meng Huo hurriedly nodded and responded: "What the Prime Minister taught me is that I will pay attention in the future."
Mrs. Zhu Rong also said softly: "Don't worry, Prime Minister, I know."
The couple expressed their opinions in this way, and Xi Yu nodded slightly and his face looked a little better.
Xi Yu sat there, and Tuoba Yu's figure suddenly appeared in his mind, and a hint of melancholy and confusion surged in his heart.
He thought to himself: Tuoba Yu, Tuoba Yu, you have clearly left, why don’t you come back to find me?
Are you really that heartless? Or do you encounter something outside that prevents you from returning?
Thinking of this, a complex feeling surged in Xi Yu's heart, including loss, worry, and a hint of expectation, hoping that Tuoba Yu would be able to return to his side one day.
His brows frowned slightly, and an indescribable loneliness appeared in his eyes.
When Mrs. Zhurong saw that Xi Yu was actually worried at this time, she couldn't help but look surprised and her heart was full of doubts.
Meng Huo sighed softly, understanding that the Prime Minister was thinking of the missing Tuoba Yu.
Xi Yu suddenly came to his senses and realized that he had just lost his composure. He quickly coughed lightly, concealed his emotions, and said, "You two can sit down first."
Meng Huo and Mrs. Zhurong sat down as they said.
Xi Yu looked at Meng Huo and Mrs. Zhurong with a serious expression and said, "You two, tell me what you know, do you understand?"
Meng Huo and Mrs. Zhurong looked at each other, then Meng Huo nodded and said, "Prime Minister, that indigenous noble is indeed arrogant, he..."
Meng Huo began to tell in detail what they learned about the indigenous nobleman. Mrs. Zhu Rong added some details from time to time, while Xi Yu listened carefully, sometimes frowned, sometimes pondering.
Mrs. Zhurong's eyes were slightly red, her eyes were full of eagerness and pleading. She tightly pulled Xi Yu's sleeve and said, "Prime Minister, I beg you to make a decision for us and to rescue Meng Huo's younger brother."
Xi Yu looked at Mrs. Zhurong with a firm look and nodded slightly, "Don't worry, Mrs. Zhurong, I will find a way."
Then, Xi Yu expressed his serious expression and said, "Also, don't tell the public about our group of people coming here, do you know?"
Meng Huo nodded quickly and replied: "Don't worry, Prime Minister, we couple will definitely not say it."
Mrs. Zhurong also nodded vigorously, her eyes full of determination.
Mrs. Zhurong and Meng Huo looked at each other, and Mrs. Zhurong continued, "Prime Minister, we must keep our mouths tight and will never reveal a word." Her face was full of solemnity.
Meng Huo also patted his chest and promised: "Prime Minister, don't worry, we will never ruin a big deal."
Xi Yu looked at the couple, nodded slightly, and said, "Well, that's great. We need to make a long-term plan and come up with a way to rescue them as soon as possible."
Mrs. Zhurong looked at Xi Yu gratefully and said, "Thank you, Prime Minister. As long as I can save my younger brother, I will definitely remember the Prime Minister's great kindness."
Meng Huo also nodded repeatedly, his eyes full of anticipation.
Xi Yu waved his hand and fell into deep thought.
Meng Huo hurriedly said, "Prime Minister, you have worked hard with you all the way, so let's stay here for the time being. I'll arrange the room now." After that, he looked at Xi Yu with a gaze.
Xi Yu nodded slightly and replied: "Okay."
After receiving Xi Yu's reply, Meng Huo immediately smiled and turned around and went to arrange the room.
The next morning, the sun shone through the window frame. Xi Yu stood up and said firmly, "I decided to meet this man named Tapi."
Ouyang Linlin, who was beside her, looked anxious when she heard this and hurriedly advised: "Prime Minister, don't go there first. You are the Prime Minister, how can you go there in person?"
But Xi Yu waved his hand indifferently and said, "It's okay, I don't care about these."
After saying that, he raised his foot and walked out, leaving Ouyang Linlin in the same look helpless and worried.
Xi Yu was in a hurry and soon arrived at the place where Tapi lived.
He looked up and saw a grape trellis in the gate, casting mottled shadows in the sun.
Several servants were cleaning the yard carefully with brooms and other tools, and the dust raised gently floated in the air.
A servant saw Xi Yu squintedly, frowned, and asked impatiently, "Who are you here to do?"
Xi Yu looked calm and replied slowly: "I want to meet Tapi."
When the servant heard this, he widened his eyes and angrily shouted: "What! Can Tapi see him just by wanting to see him? Get out of here!"
Xi Yu was not scared by this scolding. The corners of his mouth raised slightly, and he showed a confident smile and said, "I came here this time to help Tapi, which can make him the leader of Wuhuan. If you don't want to, forget it."
When the servant heard this, he was shocked. The anger on his face eased a little, and a hint of doubt and hesitation appeared in his eyes. He thought to himself: "This person doesn't seem to be talking nonsense. Is there really a way to help the leader achieve great achievements?" But he didn't dare to believe it easily, so he looked up and down again.
Xi Yu stood there calmly, his eyes firm and deep, as if he had seen through the servant's thoughts.
The servant hesitated for a while and finally said, "You are waiting here, I will inform the leader." After that, he hurriedly turned around and entered the tent.
Xi Yu looked at his back and thought to himself: "If I can gain Tapi's trust, my plan will be able to unfold smoothly."
After a while, the servant came out and let Xi Yu enter, but he warned coldly: "Hmph, come in with me. But I can tell you that if the leader cannot be satisfied, the consequences will be unimaginable."
Xi Yu's expression remained unchanged, and he followed the servant into the room calmly.
After entering the room, Tapi was sitting on a tiger leather chair, looking at Xi Yu with scrutiny.
He is burly, with a beard all over his face, and his eyes are majestic and domineering.
Xi Yu bowed slightly and said with neither humility nor arrogant words: "Chief, I have heard of your reputation for a long time."
Tapi said in a rough voice: "I heard that you can help me become the leader of Wuhuan. If there is a little false statement, don't blame me for being ruthless."
Xi Yu was neither humble nor arrogant, and told Tapi about governing the country, which made Tapi look at him with admiration.
Xi Yu looked at Tapi who was in deep thought and struck while the iron was hot and said, "Chief, can you eat and chat? And I can tell you stories, I make money by telling stories. Today, I let me eat and drink enough and make enough money, and I will tell you how to become the leader."
Tapi raised his head, a trace of doubt flashed in his eyes. He looked up and down at Xi Yu, thinking to himself: "What is this kid selling in the gourd? But it's okay to listen to the story."
So he said rudely: "Okay, then it's up to you."
Xi Yu was happy, but his face remained silent, and then said, "Chief, although you have captured Meng Huo's younger brother now, it does not mean that it is foolproof."
Tapi frowned, looked a little solemn, and asked, "How do you say this?"
Xi Yu said slowly: "Meng Huo has a lot of prestige in his tribe. He will definitely not give up and will try his best to rescue his brother. Moreover, Meng Huo has a strong personality. If it is handled improperly, it may arouse the rebellious spirit of his tribes, and the situation may be difficult to control at that time."
Tapi's face became more gloomy and he began to worry in his heart.
After a while, the servants had prepared the wine and food.
Tapi waved his hand and said, "Come on, eat and talk."
Xi Yu was not polite, so he sat down openly, picked up the wine glass and took a sip, then picked up a piece of meat and put it in his mouth, showing a satisfied expression on his face.
Tapi looked at him and became more and more curious about what he was going to say next.
Xi Yu wiped his mouth, cleared his throat, and began to tell a story: "There was a story called Liang Shanbo and Zhu Yingtai. Zhu Yingtai disguised himself as a man and went to study. He met Liang Shanbo. The two of them had a deep friendship for several years. However, the Zhu family betrothed Yingtai to Ma Wencai. Liang Shanbo died of depression. Zhu Yingtai jumped into Liang Shanbo's grave on his way to get married, and the two eventually turned into butterflies and flew together."
Tapi was engrossed in his ears, and a hint of emotion appeared in his eyes.
Xi Yu told several more stories, including the tragic love of the Cowherd and the Weaver Girl, and the heroic feat of Wu Song fighting the tiger.
Tapi listened with relish, nodded and praised from time to time, and gave him money generously.
While Xi Yu continued to pour wine for Tapi, he kept saying all kinds of flattering words, trying his best to make Tapi drink one cup after another.
Tapi was a good wine person, and in a good mood, he gradually became drunk.
Seeing that the time was almost right, Xi Yu sighed deliberately and pretended to be careless and said, "Does the leader distrust me? Why do you have to arrange someone to monitor me?"
When Tapi heard this, he felt red and his wine woke up a little.
He widened his eyes and shouted: "Whoever asked you to monitor me, get out of here!"
The servants who were surveillance outside heard Tapi's roar and were so scared that they left quickly.
Xi Yu was secretly happy, but on the surface he pretended to be frightened and said, "Chief calm down, I just said casually, don't hurt your body."
Tapi waved his hand and said, "It's okay, you can continue to drink with me."
Xi Yu nodded quickly and gave Tapi a cup, thinking about how to talk about it next.
Xi Yu continued to persuade him to drink for a while, with a smile on his face and saying all kinds of pleasing words.
Finally, Tapi's eyes were blurred, his body began to shake, and his mouth was vaguely speaking drunken words.
Xi Yu felt that it was almost done, so he lowered his voice and asked with concern: "Chief, why are you so persistent in being the leader? Meng Huo was arranged by the Prime Minister, aren't you afraid that the Prime Minister will blame him?"
Tapi slammed the table suddenly and shouted: "Scared? Why am I afraid? I, Tapi, are brave and resourceful, why can't I be the leader? What is Meng Huo? What can the Prime Minister do to me?"
Xi Yu was secretly happy, but on the surface he looked terrified and said, "The leader calms down, the leader calms down, he is so silly."
Tapi snorted and continued, "I've had enough of being instructed and despised. As long as I become the leader, I can control everything, and no one can stop me!"
Xi Yu nodded repeatedly, poured Tapi a glass of wine, and said, "The leader is wise, the leader will definitely get what he wants."
At this time, Tapi was completely in a state of drunkenness and kept talking about his ambitions and plans.
Xi Yu listened carefully and silently recorded every important information.
Next, Xi Yu pretended to inadvertently ask where Meng Huo's younger brother was locked up.
Tapi said with his tongue wide, "In the woodshed, hum, let him feel good there!"
Xi Yu was overjoyed and said hurriedly: "Go and have a look."
At this moment, a secret guard hidden in the depths immediately left silently.
After a while, Tapi finally fell asleep on the table drunk.
Xi Yu patted Tapi a few times, and saw that he had no reaction, he felt relieved.
At this time, the room was very quiet, with only the snoring of Tapi as thunderous.
After a while, Tapi finally fell asleep on the table drunk.
Xi Yu walked to the door gently, closed the door gently, then returned to the table, quietly looked at the sleeping Tapi, and secretly contemplating the next plan in his heart.
He knew that he could not leave at this moment and had to wait for the opportunity to make sure that everything was under control.
Xi Yu sat down, closed his eyes slightly, adjusted his breathing, kept himself calm and awake, and prepared to deal with various possible situations next.
The smell of wine was filled with the air, and Xi Yu had to bear it for the time being. He sat there, his thoughts turning rapidly, thinking about how to deal with the possible situations in the future.
On the other side, the secret guard walked to the woodshed like a ghost.
There were people guarding here, but before these guards could react, the secret guards took action with lightning speed and quickly dropped the person down.
He was clean and neat, without making any sound.
The secret guard gently pushed open the door of the woodshed, and it was dark and damp inside. Meng Huo's younger brother was curled up in the corner. He quickly stepped forward and whispered, "Don't be afraid, I'm here to save you."
Meng Huo's younger brother raised his head, his eyes full of surprise and expectation.
The secret guard carefully untied the rope on his body and quietly left the woodshed and hid in the darkness.
Meng Huo paced back and forth in the room, his face full of anxiety and his heart was always uneasy.
Mrs. Zhu Rong beside her seemed much calmer. She gently held Meng Huo's hand and said, "Husband, don't panic. Now that the Prime Minister is here, there will definitely be a solution."
Mrs. Zhurong's eyes were firm, which brought a little comfort to Meng Huo's panicked heart.
Meng Huo took a deep breath and nodded: "I hope so, with the Prime Minister here, we will have a support in our hearts."
Meng Huo and Mrs. Zhurong prayed silently, hoping to rescue their relatives as soon as possible and resolve the crisis.
At this moment, the secret guard and Meng Huo's younger brother Meng Xin came to the door.
Meng Xin shouted excitedly: "Brother!"
Meng Huo was shocked and subconsciously looked at the door.
This glance instantly turned the sorrow on his face into surprise. He hurried over and hugged his younger brother.
"Brother, you're back!" Meng Huo's voice trembled, his eyes were red, and he hugged Meng Xin tightly, as if he was afraid that his brother would disappear again as soon as he let go.
Meng Xin was also very excited: "Brother, thanks to this hero who saved him." He said that, looking at the secret guard beside him.
Meng Huo then let go of Meng Xin, turned around and bowed to the secret guards: "Thank you for your help, and this kindness Meng Huo will definitely remember it!"
The secret guard nodded slightly: "It's not too late, you need to make plans early."
