Chapter 619 Direct Rejection

A new day has arrived.

In the inn, Tian Chong frowned slightly, looked at Tuoba Lu, and said seriously: "Chief, I think we should go to the Prime Minister's Mansion again to see what Xi Yu has to say. Besides, you should also put down your posture. Go to the princess and apologize."

After hearing Tian Chong's words, Tuoba Lu had a flash of hesitation on his face, but in the end he nodded and said helplessly: "Okay, I also know that this is what it should be."

Tuobayu sighed softly on the side and said, "Okay, I agree. Let's go now."

So, the two of them got up together and walked towards the Prime Minister's Mansion.

At the border crossing, soldiers blocked their way. Tian Chong took a step forward and explained the situation.

The soldiers listened carefully, looked at each other, then stepped out of the way, and one of them said, "Go in."

After Ouyang Linlin came back, one of Xi Yu's worries finally came to light.

On this day, he heard that Tian Chong and Tuoba Lu were here again, and he quickly let them in.

The two of them bowed respectfully after entering, and then Tuoba Lu mentioned Liu Maohai's matter, saying that they hadn't finished discussing how to deal with it last time.

"I wonder how the Prime Minister will deal with that traitor?"

Just as he was talking, Xi Yu remembered the matter and asked them to wait for a while. He suddenly realized that he had not sent a reply to Liu Bei yet.

Please wait a moment. "

So, he simply did not go back, and went directly to the yard, found a soldier, and ordered: "Hurry to Fang County to report the news and tell Liu Bei my praise for him..." After the soldier accepted the order, he quickly left. .

Xi Yu stood in the yard, thinking to himself: I really can't fully agree with Liu Bei's approach. He may have a disobedient heart. But now, I don’t want to worry too much about him, so I’ll focus on comforting him first. After all, at certain critical moments, he was still sober and could not make the relationship too tense. It's just that the situation in the future will become increasingly difficult to control, and we need to think about it in the long term...

After Xi Yu left, Tuoba Lu sat indoors with a sullen look on his face, frowning, and said angrily: "This Xi Yu is clearly trying to publicly humiliate us. He can just say he doesn't welcome us, why bother!"

Tian Chong looked at Tuoba Lu calmly, shook his head gently, and persuaded: "Don't be angry, leader, a little impatience will ruin the big plan. Maybe Xiyu just wants to give us a disgrace. We must Be patient, and don't talk nonsense, just in case the walls have ears." Tian Chong sighed helplessly as he spoke, with a hint of worry in his eyes.

After a while, Xiyu came back. He frowned slightly and asked seriously: "As for Liu Maohai, are there any remaining parties?"

Tuoba Lu and Tian Chong looked at each other, and then Tuoba Lu explained the general situation in detail.

After hearing this, Xi Yu nodded, knowing that it was really difficult for Liu Maohai and his ilk to create any big waves.

He looked at Tuoba Lu with a look of appreciation on his face and said, "You have indeed made a contribution this time, Tuoba Lu. I will reward you with some cloth and send someone to the border crossing for you to take back to Xianbei." ”

When Tuoba Lu heard this, a hint of surprise flashed across his face, he cupped his fists and said, "Thank you, Prime Minister."

Tian Chong also showed a happy smile on the side.

Tuobayu couldn't wait to ask the key questions. He said eagerly: "Then can we enter the Central Plains? I wonder how the Prime Minister is thinking about it?"

Xi Yu knew in his heart that he couldn't mince words when talking to these foreigners, so he said directly: "The Xianbei people have the Xianbei people's territory, and the Central Plains people have the Central Plains people's territory. It's better not to interfere with each other."

Hearing this, Tuoba Lu's eyes widened and his face was full of anger.

Tian Chong, on the other hand, frowned and was very unhappy.

Tian Chong was unwilling to give in and continued to work hard. He said: "Xianbei people have always wanted to integrate into the Central Plains culture. I hope the prime minister will give it another thought!"

Xi Yu waved his hand and said resolutely: "There is nothing to consider." There was a hint of impatience on his face.

Tuoba Lu and Tian Chong looked at each other, Tuoba Lu's eyes were full of resentment and unwillingness.

Tian Chong frowned, and his face was so gloomy that it seemed like water could drip from his face.

Tuoba Lu gritted his teeth and suppressed his anger, as if to say, this tease is really too much!

Tian Chong took a deep breath, as if to say, although we are unhappy in our hearts, we cannot let it happen. With our current strength, we simply cannot compete with him.

The two of them clenched their fists tightly, their joints turning white from exertion, but they could only accept it all helplessly.

Tian Chong gritted his teeth, suddenly knelt down towards Xi Yu, and said with tears in his eyes: "I kneel down for the sake of the entire Xianbei people! Prime Minister! I hope the Prime Minister agrees."

Xi Yu looked at Tian Chong coldly, without any emotion on his face, and said: "Get up quickly, I won't agree to your kneeling. It doesn't matter if you insist on kneeling here, but I won't move a bit Compassion.”

Tian Chong knelt on the ground, his body trembling slightly, his face full of pleading, but Xi Yu remained unmoved and looked at him with cold eyes.

Tuoba Lu stood aside, clenching his fists and his nails almost digging into his palms, but he could only hold back his anger and did not dare to explode.

Tuoba Lu felt a sharp pain in his heart. He looked at Tian Chong, his eyes full of pain.

How often has Tian Chong knelt down for others...

All this is for myself and the Xianbei people. It's just that Xiyu is so much stronger than them...

Tian Chong looked gloomy. He didn't feel humiliated, but for the sake of the overall situation, he could only do this.

He sighed deeply and said: "I understand the Prime Minister's concerns. There will definitely be many foreigners who will ask to come in because of this. But we Xianbei people are indeed sincere and can give us some wasteland for them to cultivate."

After hearing this, Xi Yu's face became even colder, and he said unceremoniously: "No, it's no, don't say any more!" His eyes were as cold as frost, leaving no room for negotiation.

Tuoba Lu looked helplessly at Tian Chong, who was still kneeling, and said, "Tian Chong, stop kneeling, get up quickly." Tian Chong stood up slowly, his face full of helplessness and loss.

Tuoba Lu took a deep breath and continued: "I want to see my sister. I hope the Prime Minister can arrange it. I want to apologize to my sister."

Xi Yu frowned and said, "This can be arranged, but Tuobayu may not be happy with it."

Tuoba Lu said eagerly: "Then please Prime Minister, please help me say a few nice words in front of Tuoba Yu."

Xi Yu looked at them and said, "Okay, you guys wait here, I will tell Tuobayu personally."

After saying that, Xi Yu turned around and left. There was a trace of impatience on his face, but he still tried his best to hide it.

After Xi Yu left the room, Tuoba Lu said angrily: "This Xi Yu is really bullying! He doesn't take us seriously at all!" His face was full of anger, his brows were furrowed, and his eyes were burning. anger.

Tian Chong sighed helplessly and said: "Xi Yu is very powerful, so there is nothing we can do about it. But it is never advisable to start a war rashly. We don't have that strength."

Tuoba Lu gritted his teeth and said, "Let's not give up hope. As long as the princess agrees, she will definitely be able to help us in the future!"

His fists were clenched tightly, as if he was trying to hold on to hope for the future.

When Xi Yu was about to reach the door of Tuobayu's guest room, he suddenly stopped.

He frowned slightly, as if he remembered something important.

Immediately, he turned to a nearby servant and said, "Go and call a patrolling soldier!"

After a while, a tall soldier hurried over.

He looked at Xi Yu with confusion and asked, "Sir, what are your orders?"

Xi Yu looked at the soldier seriously and said, "I have a plan for you to implement. You should go to His Majesty immediately and convey the news to..."

With that said, Xi Yu handed the token in his hand to the soldier.

The soldier took the token respectfully, a trace of surprise flashed in his eyes, but he quickly regained his composure, clasped his fists and said, "Yes, sir! I will do it now!"

Tuobayu is sitting in the guest room. She has lived here for a few days and is gradually getting used to the life here.

At this time, Xi Yu walked in and asked with a smile: "Tuobayu, how have you been these past few days?"

Tuobayu raised her chin slightly and said: "I used to live a nomadic life, often hunting and sleeping in the open. Although the conditions are better now, I have already gained weight." She pouted, with a look on her face. Somewhat playful.

Then, she said eagerly: "Prime Minister, you can't let me live and eat here for free. Didn't you say you want me to be a maid? Why don't you tell me to do anything?"

Xi Yu gently touched his chin and said, "Let's talk about this later. Now, your brother wants to see you. Do you want to go and meet him?"

As soon as he heard his brother Tuoba Lu's name, Tuobayu's face instantly turned gloomy.

She gritted her teeth and said angrily: "Is he here again? This time I will kill him no matter what. Prime Minister, you must not stop me!" Her eyes were burning with anger and she clenched her fists tightly. With.

Seeing this, Xi Yu quickly reached out his hand and held her.

He frowned slightly and said: "Tuobayu, don't be impulsive. Why don't you give your brother a chance? There is no resurrection after death. Even if you don't forgive him, you will still be living in pain."

Tuobayu suddenly shook off Xi Yu's hand. She turned her head, glared at Xi Yu, and said, "I'm not happy! I will never forgive him!"

Her face was full of stubbornness and determination.

Xi Yu sighed helplessly, knowing that some things couldn't be rushed and needed time to be resolved slowly.

He looked at Tuobayu and said, "Okay, I'll go tell your brother."

Tuoba Yu suddenly stopped him. She stared at Xi Yu with cold eyes and said, "No, I want to tell my brother in person. Otherwise Tuoba Lu will think you are lying. I want to warn him that this This is the last time I have a good talk with him. If I see him again next time, I must kill him!" Her voice was full of determination and hatred.

Xi Yu nodded slightly and said, "Okay, I promise you."

Then, the two left the room together.

Tuobayu took firm steps, with an awe-inspiring and inviolable look on his face.

Xi Yu followed her, with a complicated expression, a hint of worry and helplessness.

The two came to Xi Yu's room. Tuoba Yu stood in front of Tuoba Lu, with eyes like fire, and said to him angrily: "Listen up, Tuoba Lu! If you let me see you again in the future, I will kill you." I’ll kill you! Please forgive me and never think about it again in this life!”

After saying that, she left quickly without looking back, leaving only a gust of cold wind behind.

Tuoba Lu's face was full of sorrow and he lowered his head.

What he is worried about is not that his sister will not forgive him, but that the next plan will not be carried out at all...

Xi Yu said helplessly: "Since Tuobayu is so determined, I have no choice. I have also tried to persuade her, but she didn't listen at all. You two should leave as soon as possible."

Tuoba Lu and Tian Chong had no choice but to say goodbye to Xi Yu and slowly left the room.

Xi Yu looked at them and said expressionlessly: "The matter has ended here. You must leave the Central Plains as soon as possible. You are not allowed to enter at will in the future. Otherwise, you must go through the procedures according to the rules."

After hearing this, Tuoba Lu and Tian Chong's faces were full of depression and loss.

Tuoba Lu gritted his teeth and said unwillingly: "Is this the end? We...we are really unwilling!" His eyes were dim, as if he had lost all hope.

Tian Chong sighed, looking extremely depressed.

Tuoba Lu said with a depressed look: "I'm unhappy now, so I have to eat like crazy to vent my anger! Tian Chong, hurry up and find a shop. We need to have a good meal. It won't be so easy to enter the Central Plains in the future. !”

Tian Chong nodded, asked around about passersby, and then said: "I found out about a restaurant, it's not bad, let's go there!"

The two came to the restaurant and had a hearty meal.

Suddenly, Tian Chong thought of an idea, and a mysterious smile appeared on his face, with the corners of his mouth rising slightly.

Tuoba Lu saw this and urged impatiently: "Why are you laughing? Hurry up and say it! Stop showing off!"

His eyes were fixed on Tian Chong, full of eagerness.

In Xianbei's tent, Lu Zhe and the man sat opposite each other.

That day, Lu Zhe's face was full of shock and confusion.

He stared closely at the man in front of him, who was Tuoba Tianlong, and said with a trembling voice: "Tuoba Tianlong? Is it really you? Everyone knows that you are dead! This... what is going on here? thing?"

A complex expression that was difficult to detect flashed across Tuoba Tianlong's face.

He lowered his head slightly and was silent for a moment, then raised his head, looked at Lu Zhe firmly and said: "Lu Zhe, there are some things I can't tell you now, but you have to believe that I am still alive and have important things to go to." Do it." His voice was deep and strong.

But after Lu Zhe pressed him, he still said it.

Lu Zhe said angrily: "Tuoba Tianlong, you are the heir to the leader, and Tuoba Lu actually used such despicable means to persecute you to get into the position of leader. He is simply nothing!"

His chest was heaving violently and his fists were clenched, obviously extremely angry.

A trace of pain and resentment flashed across Tuoba Tianlong's face. He gritted his teeth and said, "Yes, he will do anything for power. The process of his murder of me is still unforgettable to me." His eyes were full of anger.

Lu Zhe became even more angry after hearing this. He said loudly: "This Tuoba Lu is so abominable! I will never let him succeed!"

Lu Zhe frowned and said eagerly: "Tuoba Tianlong, now that Tuoba has gone to the Central Plains, this is a good opportunity! Let's quickly launch a coup before he comes back, and you can successfully succeed to the throne!"

Tuoba Tianlong frowned slightly, and after thinking for a moment, he said: "Lu Zhe, this matter cannot be done rashly. There are many Tuoba Lu's confidants here, and we have to plot carefully."

When Lu Zhe heard this, he said anxiously: "But Tuoba Lu leaving here is indeed a rare opportunity! No matter what, we can't miss this opportunity!"

Tuoba Tianlong looked at Lu Zhe, nodded slightly and said: "I understand, but we must act cautiously to ensure nothing goes wrong."

Xi Yu slowly walked into Tuobayu's room and saw that Tuobayu still looked in pain.

He stepped forward and said softly: "Tuobayu, don't be angry anymore, everything will be fine."

Tuoba Yu nodded slightly, and then asked: "Xi Yu, have you agreed to Tuoba Lu's request?"

Xi Yu shook his head and said, "I didn't agree. Everyone has their own territory. It's impossible for me to put all the foreigners into the Central Plains."

Tuobayu listened, with a flash of appreciation in his eyes, and said: "You did the right thing, Xi Yu. Although I also hope that my compatriots can enter the Central Plains, I still support your decision."

Xi Yu frowned slightly, with a trace of doubt and concern in his eyes. He looked at her and asked, "Then are you really telling the truth?"

Her eyes were firm and sincere, she nodded vigorously and said, "Of course it's the truth, I didn't lie to you."

Then, a look of anticipation appeared on her face, and she said softly: "I really want to go out for a walk now."

Upon hearing this, Xi Yu showed a warm smile on his face and said, "Then I can accompany you."

A smile as bright as the sun suddenly broke out on her face, her eyes shone with joy, and she said excitedly: "Really? That's great! I'm so happy!"

Xi Yu and Tuoba Yu walked side by side on the busy street. Tuobayu looked around, his face full of novelty and joy.

Xi Yu looked at Tuobayu's excited look and joked with a smile: "Tuobayu, are you so happy that you don't even miss Shu?"

After hearing Xi Yu's words, Tuobayu's smile disappeared instantly, revealing a confused look.

She blinked and asked doubtfully: "Don't you want to miss Shu? What is that?"

Only then did Xi Yu remember that he accidentally said words from his past life and said, "I was so happy that I forgot to go home! Let me tell you a story. It said that there was a small country once upon a time..."

This story has never happened in this time and space.

But Tuoba Yu didn't know, she just thought she didn't understand the Central Plains culture.

She was too ignorant.

In this way, Xi Yu told the story while the two of them walked around the street together.

"Prime Minister, you are right. No wonder many Xianbei people want to live here, because this place is so good." (End of this chapter)
