Chapter 616 Saving Xi Zhicai

Xi Yu frowned, thinking of Liu Bei's letter, with a thoughtful look on his face.

He narrowed his eyes slightly and murmured to himself: "There are too many people doing things under the banner of the royal family. It's really a headache."

Xi Yu raised his head and looked at Tuoba Lu, with a sneer on his lips.

"Tuoba Lu, I wonder if you have collaborated with Liu Maohai before?"

A trace of embarrassment flashed across Tuobayu's face, and then he quickly waved his hand and explained: "It's nothing, I'm just trying to deal with him. I've always been loyal to you, Prime Minister."

Tuobayu's eyes were sincere and sincere, and his brows were slightly wrinkled, seeming a little aggrieved.

At this tense moment, Tuobayu rushed in like a storm.

Her eyes were full of anger and her face turned red. She rushed in and yelled: "Tuoba Lu, you thief! I'm going to kill you today!"

Her voice was shrill and harsh, filled with resentment.

Everyone present was startled by her sudden move, their eyes widened with horror on their faces.

Tuoba Lu panicked and avoided Tuoba Yu's attack, his face full of fear and confusion.

Tian Chong saw the person coming clearly from the side. He recognized it was Princess Tuobayu and shouted quickly: "Princess, please stop!"

Tuoba Yu didn't listen at all, and still waved the weapon in his hand crazily, as if he wanted to put Tuoba Lu to death.

Tuoba Yu pressed forward step by step and forced Tuoba Lu into the corner. Tuoba Lu looked at his almost crazy sister with a puzzled face and asked in confusion: "Sister, why are you here?"

Tuoba Yu stared at Tuoba Lu with fierce eyes, and the movements in his hands did not stop.

Tuoba Lu quickly turned to look at Xi Yu, hoping to get an answer from him.

He asked anxiously: "Prime Minister, what is going on?"

Xi Yu frowned slightly, with a helpless look on his face, and said, "I also met her on the road. I didn't instruct Tuobayu to deal with you."

After hearing Xi Yu's words, Tuoba Lu's face became even more confused.

He looked at Tuobayu and tried to calm her down.

Tuobayu, however, remained unyielding. She gasped and gritted her teeth and said, "Brother, don't think I don't know what you did! It was you who sent someone to kill Hailan."

Xi Yu said: "Tuobayu, please don't be impulsive. Let's talk about it if you have anything to do."

Tuobayu roared angrily: "You are all in the same group! I must make him pay the price today!"

At this time, Tuobayu's eyes seemed to be spitting out fire, her expression became a little distorted with anger, and her whole person looked like an enraged beast.

Xi Yu frowned and said with a serious face: "Tuoba Yu, Tuoba Lu is a guest today after all. Even if you want to take action, you absolutely can't!"

After hearing Xi Yu's words, Tuobayu reluctantly stopped what he was doing.

She glared at Tuoba Lu fiercely, gritted her teeth and said, "Next time I see you, I will definitely kill you!" Her eyes were full of anger, as if she wanted to eat Tuoba Lu alive.

Tuoba Lu sighed helplessly and said, "Sister, everything I do is for your own good."

Tuobayu sneered, with a look of disdain on her face, and sneered: "You say it's for my own good? I feel disgusted! What you did is basically hurting me!" Her voice was full of disgust and disdain.

Xi Yu looked at Tuoba Lu and others and said firmly: "You guys should go back quickly. Tuoba Yu will live here temporarily."

Tuoba Lu and others looked at each other, and although they were a little reluctant, they had no choice but to turn around and leave.

Tuobayu became even more angry when he saw this.

She rushed to Xi Yu, pointed her finger at him, her eyes were wide open, full of anger, and she loudly accused: "Prime Minister, why don't you let me kill my brother! Why do you still protect him!"

Her voice was sharp with anger, and the muscles on her face were trembling slightly with excitement.

Xi Yu looked at the angry Tuobayu and said calmly: "Tuobayu, things are not what you think. Please calm down first."

But Tuobayu couldn't listen at all, she still shouted emotionally: "I don't care! I must take revenge!"

Her eyes were full of determination, as if she would not give up until she achieved her goal.

Xi Yu frowned slightly, with a hint of sternness in his voice, and said, "Tuobayu, you'd better go back to your room and don't make trouble here, otherwise I'll be really rude."

Tuobayu clenched his hands into fists and stood there angrily, still insisting on arguing with Xiyu.

Her eyes widened with stubbornness in her eyes, and she said, "I won't go back! I have to make it clear to you!"

Xi Yu looked at her appearance, sighed helplessly, and suddenly took a step forward and hugged Tuobayu.

Tuobayu blushed instantly. She struggled and shouted, "Let me go! What are you doing!"

Xi Yu ignored her struggle and carried her straight to the room. As he walked, he said, "If you keep making trouble, I will really take you back to the room."

When the servants in the yard saw this scene, they all opened their mouths in surprise, and some even laughed secretly.

Tuobayu's face turned redder, and she buried her head in Xi Yu's arms, not daring to look at anyone else.

After Tuobayu was carried to the guest room, he was still struggling, pushing Xi Yu hard with both hands.

Xi Yu gently placed her on the bed.

However, at this moment, Tuobayu made a sudden movement, Xiyu lost his balance and accidentally fell on her.

Both of them were stunned for a moment, and time seemed to have stopped.

Tuobayu's eyes widened and a blush appeared on her face. There was both surprise and a hint of shyness in her eyes.

Xi Yu's face was also red. He stood up in a panic, his eyes were a little dodgey, and he didn't dare to look at Tuobayu.

He sighed secretly in his heart: "This foreign woman is really... material."

His heart was beating so hard that he felt like his face was almost burning.

At this time, Xi Yu looked a little embarrassed, while Tuo Bayu looked at a loss, and the atmosphere between the two became extremely delicate.

Finally, Xi Yu coughed slightly and broke the silence. His voice was a little unnatural and he said: "Tuobayu, please calm down first. Don't always think about things like killing your brother."

After that, he slowly straightened up and looked away with some evasive eyes, not daring to look at Tuobayu.

Then, he quickly left the room as if fleeing, leaving Tuoyu Yu lying alone on the bed, with a blush still on his face and eyes full of complicated emotions.

Tuoba Lu had a gloomy look on his face and walked heavily on the road. His brows were furrowed tightly, as if he was filled with uncontrollable sorrow.

Tian Chong followed him, also looking puzzled.

When they came to the mountain, Tuoba Lu stopped and turned to look at Tian Chong.

His face was full of worry and confusion, and he said in a low voice: "Tian Chong, help me analyze it, what does teasing him mean? He said to think about it, is he really thinking about it, or is he just perfunctory with me? ?”

Tian Chong frowned, shook his head slightly, and said with the same confusion: "I also find it strange. Speaking of Liu Maohai, Xi Yu didn't ask him to bring him here. This is really unpredictable. , what did he think? "

The two looked at each other and saw deep doubts in each other's eyes.

They stood in front of the mountain, and the mountain wind blew by, lifting the corners of their clothes, but it could not dispel the doubts and uneasiness in their hearts.

At this time, a follower stepped forward cautiously, with a hesitant look on his face. He stammered: "Chief...I, I have something to say, but please forgive me for the crime of disrespect first, otherwise I really don’t dare to say it.”

Tuoba Lu frowned even more. He glanced at his entourage impatiently and said, "You tell me, and I will pardon you."

After receiving Tuoba Lu's permission, the entourage relaxed a little.

The attendant lowered his voice and said: "My lord, in my opinion, Xi Yu and the princess may have met by chance on the road, but the princess wants to kill you. There may also be elements of Xi Yu's secret arrangement. Think about it, You love the princess very much How could Youjia really hate her? And now that the princess is in their hands, it is equivalent to becoming Xi Yu's hostage! In my opinion, it is impossible to negotiate terms with Xi Yu in the future. He will pinch our Xianbei people’s noses and go away!”

When the attendant said this, his brows were furrowed, his face full of worry and unwillingness.

After hearing what his entourage said, Tuoba Lu's face became even more ugly. A trace of anger flashed in his eyes, but more of it was helplessness and pain.

Tuoba Lu became excited after hearing what his entourage said. His eyes widened, his face flushed, and he shouted: "What did you say!"

The follower was so frightened by Tuoba Lu's reaction that he turned pale. He quickly knelt down, kowtowed repeatedly, and stammered: "Chief, calm down, calm down. The younger ones are talking nonsense. The younger ones don't dare anymore!"

Tuoba Lu's voice was full of anger and disappointment. He waved his hands vigorously and said, "Forget it, go back first!"

Tian Chong watched all this from the side, a trace of hesitation flashed in his eyes.

Suddenly, he said, "I have an idea."

Tuoba Lu and his entourage turned to look at Tian Chong.

Tian Chong took a deep breath and said, "Maybe we can take a long-term approach and come up with a better way to solve the problem."

Tuoba Lu frowned and said, "What can we do?"

Tian Chong thought for a while and said: "Chief, through observation, I found that Xi Yu is full of love for the princess. Maybe, these two people can even achieve a marriage."

Tuoba Lu frowned, with a somewhat impatient look on his face. He waved his hand and said, "Stop beating around the bush and get straight to the point!"

Tian Chong cleared his throat and continued: "I mean, we still have to find a way to have a good relationship with the princess. If Xi Yu and the princess really become good friends, then we can make this request to Xi Yu through the princess. "

After listening to Tian Chong's words, Tuoba Lu fell into deep thought, with a thoughtful expression on his face.

Seeing this, Tian Chong continued: "Chief, this may be a feasible method. We might as well give it a try."

Tian Chong frowned slightly and said seriously: "But, leader, if you want to accomplish this, you must put down your arrogance and admit that you are sorry for the princess, otherwise this matter will be really difficult to handle."

When Tuoba Lu heard this, his eyebrows stood up, his face was full of determination, and he said loudly: "Absolutely impossible! I, Tuoba Lu, have done nothing wrong, why should I admit these unfounded things!"

Tian Chong looked at Tuoba Lu, with a flash of anxiety in his eyes. He raised his voice and said, "Those who achieve great things don't stick to trivial matters, leader! Think about it carefully, this is for the future of the Xianbei people!"

Tuoba Lu remained silent, his face uncertain. After a while, he gritted his teeth and said, "Let's go back first."

After saying that, he turned around and walked towards the way he came, his steps seemed a bit heavy.

Tian Chong looked at his back and sighed helplessly.

Like a ghost, the secret guard quietly came to the place where the three brothers lived according to the address provided by Xi Yu.

He lurked carefully in the yard, trying not to make a sound.

Through the window of the main room, the secret guard saw three brothers sitting around the table eating wine.

Their faces were filled with cheerful smiles, they were talking loudly, and their laughter echoed in the room.

Xi Zhicai, on the other hand, was sitting quietly in a corner, his eyes a little lonely, in sharp contrast to the liveliness of his brothers.

The secret guard decided to take action late at night.

Xi Yu stood in the courtyard. Suddenly, he seemed to remember something, his brows wrinkled slightly, and a trace of complicated emotions flashed in his eyes.

He quickly sent someone to notify Zhao Yun and asked him to bring Jia Xu's body to the city gate.

After a while, Zhao Yun brought Jia Xu's body to the city gate.

Xi Yu also arrived there quickly, with a serious expression on his face and cold and firm eyes.

The people gathered around and talked among themselves.

Xi Yu stood on a high place and said loudly to the people: "Everyone, Jia Xu is dead now. I found his body on the road and killed him! At first, he was rescued by others, and I have nothing to do with it.”

Xi Yu's voice echoed at the city gate, and his expression was solemn and decisive.

"Jia Xu has violated the national law, and I, Xi Yu, will never forgive him!" Xi Yu continued, with an awe-inspiring and inviolable majesty in his eyes.

When the people listened to Xi Yu's words, some showed surprised expressions, while others nodded in agreement.

And Xi Yu stood there like a firm statue, his figure looking particularly tall in the sunlight.

Xi Yu stood at the city gate, watching the reactions of the people around him, and smiled bitterly in his heart.

Many people looked suddenly enlightened and whispered among themselves: "It turns out we wrongly blamed him. We thought he let Jia Xu go without permission."

At this time, a commoner came forward and said to Xi Yu apologetically: "Sir, we made a mistake before and misunderstood you. Please forgive me!"

Xi Yu looked at him, forced a smile on his face, and said with some embarrassment: "I don't blame you, I don't blame you. In that situation, it is normal for everyone to think so."

When he said this, there was a blush on his face. After all, Jia Xu actually died of the plague. When he said this, there was some element of fame and reputation in it.

His eyes were a little evasive, he didn't dare to look at the people, and his heart was full of guilt.

When the people looked at Xi Yu, their eyes were full of admiration and gratitude, and they respected him even more.

Xi Yu waved his hand and asked people to quickly arrange for Jia Xu's burial.

Seeing Jia Xu's body being carried away, he sighed secretly.

This body had been recently processed and spiced, otherwise it would have stunk.

Xi Yu turned around and quietly approached Zhao Yun, with a trace of doubt and uneasiness on his face, and asked: "Zhao Yun, was I too hypocritical just now? I feel like something is wrong with what I did."

Zhao Yun frowned slightly, looked at Xi Yu seriously, and said, "Sir, this is not hypocrisy, this is a good strategy. You are doing this to stabilize people's hearts, there is nothing wrong with it."

After hearing Zhao Yun's words, Xi Yu's expression softened slightly, but he was still a little confused.

He pursed his lips and left.

Night shrouded the earth, and the moonlight was hazy, casting a mysterious veil over the entire yard.

The secret guard was hidden in the darkness, like a beast waiting for an opportunity, staring closely at the main room.

Inside the house, the three brothers gradually fell asleep after having their fill of wine and food.

The two brothers were lying on the bed in the same room, snoring slightly and sleeping soundly.

The other brother slept in the same place as Xi Zhicai, with Xi Zhicai's back to him, breathing evenly and calmly.

The moonlight shines on Xi Zhicai's body through the window, reflecting his slightly tired face.

His brows wrinkled slightly, as if he was a little sad in his dream.

The room was filled with a faint smell of alcohol, and in the quiet atmosphere, only the occasional chirping of insects broke the tranquility of the night.

The person in the same room as Xi Zhicai was Lao San.

The secret guard sneaked into the room quietly like a ghost, and before Lao San was aware of it, he quickly stuffed a pill into his mouth.

The third child's throat rolled, and he continued to fall asleep without any sign of waking up.

Xi Zhicai was awakened by the sudden movement. He sat up suddenly, his eyes full of surprise and horror.

The secret guard lowered his voice and said: "Don't talk, I was sent by the Prime Minister.

Xi Zhicai was startled for a moment, and then he seemed to remember something. The panic on his face gradually dissipated, replaced by a look of relief.

The secret guard approached Xi Zhicai and said in a low voice: "Mr. Xi, you come with me first, and I will take care of them later."

Xi Zhicai nodded slightly, with a hint of determination on his face, and said, "Okay, I'll listen to you."

The secret guard and Xi Zhicai quickly walked towards the entrance of the village.

At the entrance of the village, a carriage had been waiting, pulled by several soldiers.

The secret guard said to the soldiers: "Send Mr. Xi to the Prime Minister's Mansion."

The soldiers responded in unison: "Yes!"

Xi Zhicai looked at the carriage in front of him and felt a little relieved. He turned to look at the secret guard, a trace of gratitude flashed in his eyes.

The secret guard watched Xi Zhicai get on the carriage, preparing to go back to deal with the three brothers, with determination and coldness in his eyes.

Xi Zhicai returned to the residence of the three brothers quickly under the galloping carriage.

He walked into the yard quietly and found that everything was still quiet, as if nothing had happened.

The secret guard looked around in the yard, and suddenly, he saw an exquisite porcelain. (End of this chapter)
