Tuoba Yu looked tired, her red and swollen eyes were filled with sadness, and she had been staying next to Wan Henghua's body for a whole night.
The next day, she cheered up and began to prepare for the burial.
When dealing with Sang Yunlei's body, a trace of determination and disgust flashed in her eyes. She threw the body aside without hesitation, thinking to herself: "You hateful person, don't deserve proper placement."
Tuoba Yu tried hard to make her expression look sad, and her voice hoarsely declared to the public that Wan Henghua died of a sudden illness.
The villagers were talking as she watched her busy organizing the funeral.
An old man with gray hair stroked his beard and said, "This Tuoba Yu is really filial."
When Tuoba Yu heard these praises, he felt mixed feelings in his heart.
While sorting out funeral items, she silently recited in her heart: "I have done the last thing I can do for him, but who can know the grudges and hatreds in it?"
There was just the right sadness on her face, which made people unable to see any flaws, but deep inside her, there was a deep sigh of relief at the complex emotions of the past.
The funeral process was finally completed and everything was settled.
In the afternoon of that day, the sun was a little dim. Tuoba Yu stood in the middle of the village, and her figure seemed a little lonely.
She took a deep breath and said to the villagers in a calm but slightly sad tone: "I'm leaving this place."
She raised her head slightly and glanced at the familiar faces, "After all, I am not Wan Henghua's biological daughter."
After hearing this, the villagers nodded to express their understanding.
An old lady came up and took her hand and asked, "Child, where are you going?"
Tuoba Yu shook her head gently, her eyes were full of confusion, and she thought to herself: "This world is so big, but I don't know where I am my destination."
Her expression was filled with a hesitation about the unknown, and she just said, "I don't know either."
After saying that, she turned around resolutely, put on her simple luggage, and began to walk outside the village.
Each step is a farewell to the past. Her back gradually drifts away in the afterglow of the sunset, gradually disappearing at the end of the road.
Only the villagers were left looking at the direction where she left and sighed.
Tuoba Yu walked in dismay, her eyes were empty and confused, and her heart was in chaos, and she had no idea where to go.
Fortunately, she was still carrying some money, which made her not too desperate in this vast world.
As night falls gradually, everything around is shrouded in darkness.
She was walking mechanically on the road and suddenly heard a sound of horse hooves.
She raised her head and saw a young man riding a horse. However, in an instant, the young man suddenly fell down from the horse.
Tuoba Yu widened his eyes in surprise and his mouth opened involuntarily. She felt panic in her heart and thought: "What should I do?" Her steps hurriedly ran towards the young man.
When she approached and squatted down to check, she found that the young master had lost his breath and his body gradually became cold.
Her face turned pale, and she touched the young master's carotid artery with her trembling hands, confirming that he was dead.
Her eyes were filled with horror and at a loss, and she murmured to herself: "This...how is this happening?"
She looked around in panic, as if she wanted to find someone to help, but there was only endless darkness and silence around her.
Tuoba Yu stood up and sighed helplessly. She thought to herself: "I don't know where to go, and I still have the energy to care about other people's life or death."
Her brows were frowning, and her eyes were filled with confusion and fatigue.
She was about to continue walking forward when a thought flashed through her mind. Her eyes lit up and she said to herself, "By the way, isn't this horse ready?"
Her face showed a tangled look, and a war between heaven and man began to begin in her heart: "I need a horse to travel now, and the owner of this horse is dead. It's not too much for me to take the horse away, right? But isn't it good to do this..."
She bit her lip and hesitated on the spot for a while.
In the end, the instinct of survival and the desire for the future prevailed.
She quickly walked to the side of the horse, reached out and touched the horse's mane, and whispered: "Mah, horse, your master is gone, just follow me."
There was a hint of guilt in her eyes, but there was more expectation for her to go further after having a horse.
Tuoba Yu turned over and rode on the horse lightly, and she held the reins tightly with both hands.
When the horse began to move, she was surprised to find that she seemed to be particularly good at riding horses, and her body could freely rise and fall with the horse's pace.
The horse did not accept her birth and carried her gently and moved forward steadily.
A bright smile appeared on Tuoba Yu's face, and she was filled with joy, thinking: "It's God that helps me. I didn't expect that I had such a talent for riding horses, and this horse is so human."
She patted the horse's neck excitedly and said loudly, "Ma, let's go and have a go."
Her eyes were bright and full of expectations for the future journey. On the horse's back, she seemed to have found new hope and courage. The previous confusion and hesitation were temporarily dispelled by this joy.
In the Taoist temple in Kunlun Mountain, Taoist Qingfeng and Taoist Mingyue sat opposite each other.
There was an ancient tea table in front of them, and the fragrance of tea rose.
Taoist Master Qingfeng picked up the teacup, took a sip of the tea, and slowly spoke: "Mingyue, do you still remember the incident of Prime Minister Yu?"
Taoist Master Mingyue nodded slightly, stroked his beard and said, "Of course I know. Now, under the guidance of Prime Minister Xi, the world is getting better and better."
Priest Qingfeng had a light of admiration in his eyes. He looked into the distance, as if he could see the prosperous and stable scene at the foot of the mountain, and said, "The Prime Minister of the play is indeed a talented person, and his heart is in mind. The policies he has implemented are all beneficial to people's livelihood. He has made great contributions to the prosperity of the world today."
Taoist Master Mingyue nodded slightly and agreed: "Yes, the people live and work in peace and prosperity. I really hope that this peaceful and prosperous era can continue."
The two Taoist priests had a look of relief on their faces. They were sincerely happy for the stability of the world on this high mountain.
Taoist Master Qingfeng and Taoist Master Mingyue were immersed in the feelings of the Prime Minister, and a small Taoist boy hurried over.
The little Taoist boy panted and blushed and said, "Master, it's not good! There is a woman at the foot of the mountain who has trespassed into the forbidden area with a very bad attitude. She even started fighting with several Taoist boys on patrol."
Master Qingfeng frowned, a hint of displeasure flashed in his eyes, and he thought to himself: "Who is so bold that he dares to trek into my Kunlun Mountain forbidden area."
He put down the teacup, stood up, and asked seriously: "Where is that woman now?"
The little Taoist boy hurriedly replied: "I'm still on the forbidden area, and several brothers are stopping me, but the woman seems to have some skills, so they can't stop her."
Taoist Master Mingyue's face also became gloomy. He stroked his beard and said, "How dare he act so wild, let's go and see."
As he said that, he and Taoist Master Qingfeng looked at each other, and both of them were angry in their eyes and walked quickly towards the forbidden area.
Along the way, Master Qingfeng thought in his heart: "What is this woman's origin and why did she do such unreasonable things."
Taoist Master Mingyue looked serious and was ready to teach this woman who was ignorant of the world.
Tuoba Yu rode all the way around, but she had no clear destination in her heart, just letting the horse lead her forward.
Unexpectedly, I ran to Kunlun Mountain all at once.
When a few little Taoist boys saw her, they immediately stepped forward to stop her. One of them frowned and said loudly: "This place is the forbidden area of ​​Kunlun Mountain, you can leave quickly."
Tuoba Yu looked confused. She really didn't know that this was forbidden area. She replied angrily: "I don't know that I can't come here, why are you so fierce?"
Both sides started arguing with each other.
Tuoba Yu felt aggrieved and thought: "I was just passing by, not intentionally, why are these Taoist boys unreasonable?"
The Taoist boys felt that she was unreasonable and were still entangled when they asked her to leave.
Finally, the quarrel became more and more intense, and both sides became angry and started to fight on impulse.
Tuoba Yu shouted while fighting back: "I'm not a bad guy, why are you doing this?"
Her eyes were filled with anger and grievance, and the Taoist boys were not willing to be outdone, and the two sides were trapped in a chaotic battle.
Several Taoist boys retreated aside in a dusty manner, some covering their injured arms, and some rubbing their kicked legs.
Master Qingfeng and Master Mingyue were filled with anger when they saw this scene.
Taoist Master Qingfeng opened his eyes wide and asked loudly: "Who is you hateful woman? How dare you act here!" His voice echoed in the mountains, with unquestionable majesty.
Tuoba Yu held his hands in front of his chest, with a stubborn look on his face, and responded loudly: "I'm just passing by here, but they are very unreasonable to me."
There was a light of dissatisfaction in her eyes, and she thought to herself: "It was obvious that they drove me away without any discrimination, and they said I was unreasonable."
Taoist Master Mingyue frowned, looked at Tuoba Yu carefully, and said, "Even if there is something wrong with the Taoist boys, you shouldn't hurt anyone."
Although his tone was not as harsh as Priest Qingfeng, he was also full of blame.
Tuoba Yu curled her lips and muttered, "If they talk to me well, how could I do it?" Her face was full of grievances, and she felt that she was very wronged.
Taoist Qingfeng and Taoist Mingyue looked cold, and Taoist Qingfeng asked sternly: "Tell me quickly, who are you?"
Tuoba Yu frowned and replied indifferently: "I don't know."
Taoist Master Mingyue snorted coldly: "Hmph, don't tease us here."
After saying that, the two of them flashed and attacked Tuoba Yu.
Tuoba Yu was shocked and thought to herself while resisting: "How come these two people are so powerful in their skills? I'm afraid I'm going to suffer a loss today." Her eyes were filled with panic, but she still gritted her teeth and struggled to hold on.
Master Qingfeng's palm was fierce and shouted: "Isn't telling the truth yet!"
Tuoba Yu yelled while hiding: "I really don't know who I am, I have lost my memory."
But the two Taoist priests were not willing to believe it, and their moves became more and more fierce.
Tuoba Yu gradually couldn't stand it and was quickly hit, with blood spilling out of the corner of her mouth.
She frowned in pain, looked at the two Taoist priests, and gasped and said, "Why don't you believe me?"
Taoist Qingfeng looked angry and said, "You little thief, you are still quibbling."
Taoist Master Mingyue also said, "If you don't tell the truth, don't blame us for being merciless."
Tuoba Yu wiped the blood on the corner of his mouth with his hands, and a trace of stubbornness and helplessness flashed in his eyes.
She looked at the two Taoist priests and said loudly: "I really didn't lie to you. I really don't know who I am and where I came from."
Taoist Qingfeng and Taoist Mingyue looked at each other, and they were still a little suspicious, but when they saw Tuoba Yu's embarrassed and serious appearance, they were also a little shaken.
Taoist Master Qingfeng frowned, his tone eased a little, and said, "Then why did you come to Kunlun Mountain? Why did you attack Taoist boy?"
Tuoba Yu leaned against the horse, panting, and replied, "I rode around on the horse and arrived here unknowingly. The Taoist boys asked me to leave without saying a word. I just made a few words of excuses, and they took action, and I fought back."
Taoist Master Mingyue stroked his beard, thought for a while and said, "No matter what, you hurt my Taoist boy in Kunlun Mountain, so you can't just forget it."
Tuoba Yu's heart tightened. She bit her lip and thought to herself: "Do they still want to make things difficult for me? But I am seriously injured now and I am powerless to resist."
Her face showed a look of pain and despair, and she said, "What do you want?"
Taoist Master Qingfeng pondered: "You follow us up the mountain and recover from the Taoist temple. At the same time, let us investigate your origin."
Tuoba Yu nodded helplessly. She knew that she had no other choice now, so she could only follow their arrangements temporarily.
After Tuoba Yu agreed to the request to go up the mountain, Master Qingfeng's brows frowned even tighter. He narrowed his eyes, his eyes full of suspicion.
"How did you promise so simply? Could it be that you have other intentions or that you have any unspeakable purpose to get close to Kunlun Mountain?"
Tuoba Yu said loudly: "You were just going to keep me, why do you say such things again now? I don't want to be wronged by you."
Angry light flashed in her eyes and continued, "I'm worried about having no money to eat. Wouldn't it be better for me to take me in the mountains? I just want to have a place to rest, which can help me recover from my wounds and eat a lot, and there are no traces of the winding things you think of."
Tuoba Yu dragged his tired and hurt body and walked straight up the mountain.
Her back seemed a little stubborn on the trail in the mountains.
Taoist Qingfeng and Taoist Mingyue stood there, quietly watching her back gradually fading away.
Master Qingfeng stroked his beard and his slightly frown gradually stretched out, thinking to himself: "With her appearance now, she really can't make any storms."
Taoist Master Mingyue also nodded slightly and said, "She is seriously injured. I don't dare to act rashly on this mountain. But I still have to pay more attention."
The two Taoist priests were talking in a low voice while walking slowly behind Tuoba Yu.
Tuoba Yu walked in front and muttered: "It's really troublesome, but it's better than wandering outside."
Her eyes scanned the surrounding scenery, and she was also full of curiosity about Kunlun Mountain.
The night is as deep as thick ink.
Xi Yu sat quietly at the desk, and the candlelight cast swaying light and shadow on his face.
He rubbed his tired forehead and remembered those nightmares again. Those gloomy and terrifying and entangled nightmares made him exhausted.
He prayed silently in his heart: "Don't have nightmares again today, otherwise I really can't stand it."
His eyes were filled with a desire for peace, a kind of expectation from the bottom of his heart to get rid of the torture of nightmares.
However, in the deepest part of his heart, there was another voice. How he wished he could have a dream, a dream that could dream of Tuoba Yu.
He leaned against the back of the chair, his eyes gradually becoming softer and with a hint of sadness.
He whispered in his heart: "Tuoba Yu, where are you? How much I want to see you in my dream."
His fingers unconsciously tapped the tabletop, as if this could convey the longing in his heart.
He was deeply entangled. On the one hand, he was afraid of the nightmare's re-invasion, and on the other hand, he was full of expectations for the dream about Tuoba Yu.
These two emotions kept intertwining and colliding in his heart, making his heart feel like he was entangled in chaos.
In the simple inn, Zhao Yun and others and Cha Chatu temporarily live here. At this time, they are not far from Youzhou.
Along the way, Chachatu was unexpectedly honest and showed no sign of trying to escape.
However, Zhao Yun did not relax at all.
He paced back and forth in the inn room, thinking to himself: "Although this picture seems honest now, we must not take it lightly."
Zhao Yun ordered his subordinates with a serious expression: "Strengthen the guards and be sure to keep an eye on Chachatu. His current silence may be just a manifestation. Once we relax our vigilance, he will likely take the opportunity to escape."
The subordinates responded in unison: "Yes, General."
They quickly set up posts in various key locations of the inn, and their vigilant eyes stared at the room where Chachatu was located.
Chachatu was alone in the dim room, and there was silence around him.
During the first few days of the journey, his mind was filled with the idea of ​​running away.
He paced back and forth in the room, staring at the closed window and the door that seemed difficult to break through, thinking to himself: "I must find a chance to escape."
However, as time went by, I realized that under the strict guarding of Zhao Yun and others, I had no chance of escaping at all.
He sighed helplessly, collapsed on the simple bed, his eyes full of despair. He thought to himself, "Forget it, the road to escape is not easy."
He lay on the bed, looking at the somewhat mottled ceiling, and a new thought surged in his heart.
He murmured to himself, "I just hope that he can forgive me when I see Xi Yu."
The morning sun was covered by thick clouds, and the sky seemed a little gloomy. Zhao Yun walked out of the room, looked up at the lead-gray sky, and frowned.
