Chapter 637 There Is Something Wrong with the Food

Xiyu took a deep breath and tried to calm himself down.

They were the most important people in his life, and he was willing to give everything for them.

I can't hesitate any longer, I must make a decision. Xiyu said secretly in his heart.

Finally, he decided to go to Kushan with them.

At night, Xiyu walked out of the room and came to Ouyang Linlin's room.

Coincidentally, Ouyang Linlin was also there.

When they saw Xiyu's expression, they understood his decision in their hearts.

"I am willing to go to Kushan with you." Xiyu asked.

The two women looked at each other and nodded.

The two women were very happy and clapped their hands quickly.

Xiyu decided to explain this place and then go with them.

He sent someone to call Zhou Yu, Zhuge Liang and others.

In a room, Xiyu sat in the first seat, with Zhou Yu, Zhuge Liang and Zhao Yun sitting on both sides of him.

Xiyu looked serious and looked at them firmly.

Xiyu cleared his throat and said, "Everyone, I called you here today because I have an important announcement to make. I have decided to go to Kushan with Ouyang Linlin and may be away for a while."

Zhou Yu frowned slightly and asked, "Prime Minister, you are going to Kushan? Why are you going there?"

Xiyu smiled slightly and replied, "I have some important things to deal with this time. As for the specific reason, it is not convenient to disclose it now."

Zhuge Liang's eyes flashed with doubt, but he did not continue to ask, but said, "Prime Minister, how should the affairs here be handled after you leave?"

Xiyu nodded and said "I have thought about it, and everything here is up to you. Zhou Yu, you are responsible for military affairs; Zhuge Liang, you are responsible for internal affairs and foreign affairs; Zhao Yun, you are responsible for protecting everyone's safety. I believe you will be able to do your respective jobs."

Zhou Yu, Zhuge Liang and Zhao Yun looked at each other, and then said in unison: "Don't worry, Prime Minister, we will not let you down."

Xi Yu nodded with satisfaction and said: "Okay, I feel relieved with you here. I will deal with the Kushan affairs as soon as possible, and then come back to reunite with you."

After the meeting, Xi Yu stood up and prepared to leave the meeting room.

"Take care, everyone."

After saying that, Xi Yu left without looking back.

The next morning, the sun shone through the window on Xi Yu's face. He slowly opened his eyes and sat up.

He asked someone to call Tuoba Yu, Ouyang Linlin and Xiao Hong.

He got up gently, put on his clothes and walked out of the room.

After a while, Tuoba Yu, Ouyang Linlin and Xiao Hong also came over.

Xiyu looked at them and said with a smile: "Are you ready? We are going to set off."

Tuoba Yu, Ouyang Linlin and Xiaohong nodded, their faces full of expectation.

Xiyu took them to the stable and led out several horses.

Xiyu climbed on the horse, then stretched out his hand and pulled Tuoba Yu, Ouyang Linlin and Xiaohong on the horse.

"Let's go!" Xiyu gave an order, and several horses galloped and galloped towards the direction of Kushan.

While riding, Xiyu said to Tuoba Yu, Ouyang Linlin and Xiaohong: "We will have a hard time next, I hope you must be prepared."

Tuoba Yu, Ouyang Linlin and Xiaohong nodded, there was no fear on their faces.

Xiyu looked at them, his heart full of emotion.

That night, Xiyu stepped into the door of the inn.

He found that the innkeeper was concentrating on the newspaper in his hand, with a satisfied smile on his face.

Xiyu stood quietly aside, observing the innkeeper quietly.

The shopkeeper smiled knowingly and nodded frequently, obviously appreciating the content of the newspaper.

Xiyu was secretly happy in his heart. He knew that this newspaper was founded by Su Yu. Now it was the second issue, and it was really successful.

However, he decided to hide his identity.

After a while, the shopkeeper put down the newspaper, stretched, and then looked up at Xiyu.

With curiosity in his eyes, he asked: "Sir, are you here to stay in the hotel?"

Xiyu smiled slightly and replied: "Yes, I passed by here and want to rest in your hotel for one night."

The shopkeeper said enthusiastically: "Okay, okay, please come in. Our rooms are clean and tidy, and the price is reasonable."

Xiyu nodded and followed the shopkeeper into the store.

During the conversation, Xiyu always remained polite and humble.

He thought to himself: "This second issue of the newspaper is so popular, Su Yu is really talented."

The innkeeper smiled and asked Xiyu and his party: "Dear guests, do you want to eat something?"

Xiyu nodded and replied: "Well, please help me feed the horses." His tone was calm and natural.

The innkeeper quickly agreed: "Okay, no problem! Don't worry, I will take good care of the horses."

Then, the innkeeper enthusiastically introduced several signature dishes.

Xiyu turned his head to look at the three women around him and said with a smile: "You order."

Tuoba Yu smiled and said: "Then let's have a portion of braised pork ribs, I love this the most."

Ouyang Linlin said: "I want to eat steamed fish."

Xiaohong said timidly: "I want to eat sweet and sour pork tenderloin... Is it okay?"

Xiyu looked at them gently, nodded and said: "Of course, as long as you like it."

The innkeeper wrote down the dishes and said with a smile: "Please wait, I will serve you in a while."

After a while, the dishes were served one after another.

Xiyu picked up a piece of ribs and put it in his mouth. After chewing it for a few times, he suddenly frowned and looked a little strange.

The three women ate with relish and kept praising the deliciousness of the dishes.

Xiyu put down his chopsticks and said to them: "Don't eat yet."

The three women looked at Xiyu with confusion.

Tuoba Yu asked puzzledly: "Why? This dish is delicious."

Ouyang Linlin also echoed: "Yes, husband, what's wrong?"

Xiaohong looked at Xiyu nervously. She noticed that Xiyu looked ugly and asked softly: "Prime Minister, are you feeling unwell?"

Xiyu shook his head and said in a deep voice: "This dish tastes a little wrong. I'm worried that the ingredients are not fresh."

There was a trace of worry on his face.

Tuoba Yu and Ouyang Linlin also stopped eating chopsticks after hearing this, and their faces became a little solemn.

Tuoba Yu heard what Xi Yu said, blinked, smiled confidently, and said: "I think this dish is quite fresh, there is nothing wrong with it."

Xi Yu glared at her fiercely, with a hint of majesty in his eyes.

Tuoba Yu was frightened and his face turned pale, and he lowered his head quickly, not daring to speak again.

Xi Yu looked around and found that the shopkeeper and the waiter were not there, so he whispered to Xiao Hong: "Xiao Hong, take some money and go out to buy some things. Remember, don't let others see it."

Xiao Hong nodded, a trace of determination flashed in her eyes, and she whispered: "Okay, Prime Minister, I know."

She took the currency and hurried to the door, her steps seemed a little hurried.

After Xiaohong left, Ouyang Linlin approached Xiyu and asked in a low voice: "Husband, what's going on? The food looks good."

Xiyu frowned and said solemnly: "Although the food tastes good, I can taste something else mixed in it."

After hearing this, Ouyang Linlin's face turned pale in an instant, her eyes were full of astonishment, and she cried out: "What? Mixed with something? This... What should I do?"

Xiyu quickly stretched out his hand to signal her to speak more quietly, and comforted her: "Don't panic, wait for Xiaohong to come back."

After a while, Xiaohong came back in a hurry.

Xiyu whispered: "Dispose of the things we ordered, and the shopkeeper will know that we have eaten them. Then take the things we bought into the room and we will eat them ourselves."

After hearing this, the three women hurriedly took action, dealing with the food on the table with a slightly panicked look.

Just when they had just finished dealing with it, the shopkeeper happened to walk in.

The shopkeeper's face was full of smiles, and he asked, "Dear guests, is this food delicious?"

Xi Yu immediately responded, "Yes, it's delicious! We have never eaten such delicious food." He showed a satisfied look on his face.

The shopkeeper smiled proudly after hearing this, and said, "That's good, guests, don't worry, no one's food within a hundred miles will be better than mine."

The dry food that Xiao Hong bought was easy to carry, and they had quietly put it in their sleeves.

The shopkeeper smiled and said to them, "Guests, I have opened a room for you."

Xi Yu nodded, then turned to the three women and said, "Tonight, Tuoba Yu and I will share a room. Tomorrow, Ouyang Linlin will stay with me, and Tuoba Yu, you and Xiao Hong will stay together."

The shopkeeper also returned to the room and sat down on the chair.

His woman came up to him and asked curiously, "I heard that several out-of-town guests came today?"

The shopkeeper nodded and replied, "Yes. They basically ate all the dishes they ordered."

The woman immediately showed a smug smile on her face, with excitement flashing in her eyes. She said in a delicate voice, "If I hadn't come up with this idea, how could our business be so good?"

The shopkeeper looked at the woman and laughed too. His face was full of gratitude, and he whispered, "Madam, thank you so much."

The woman said coquettishly, "In that case, shopkeeper, you should thank me well."

The corners of her mouth rose slightly, and her face was filled with smugness.

The shopkeeper heard it, smiled, hugged her tightly, and whispered, "I will serve you well tonight." There was a hint of ambiguity in his eyes.

The woman said "hate" in her mouth, pretending to struggle on the surface, but her face was flushed, and she was actually very happy in her heart.

After entering the room, Tuoba Yu came to Xi Yu anxiously, frowned slightly, and asked carefully: "Can you tell me what happened?"

"Let's finish the meal first, and then we can talk."

In Ouyang Linlin's room, Xiao Hong muttered in confusion: "The food tonight is so delicious, the prime minister must deal with it."

Ouyang Linlin frowned slightly and said softly: "The prime minister has already said that something was put in it. He must have his reasons for doing so. Don't complain anymore." Her tone was firm, and her eyes revealed a trace of rationality.

Xi Yu finally put down his bowl and chopsticks and touched his stomach with satisfaction.

Tuoba Yu frowned and muttered: "I don't like it very much. I always feel that the food tonight is delicious, and the food I bought is not delicious."

Seeing this, Xi Yu smiled and comforted: "Don't be picky, the food is actually the same. It's enough to fill your stomach outside, don't ask for too much."

Tuobayu was still unwilling, pouting and saying, "But I just think the food at night is better."

"Okay, don't worry about this, maybe we can eat something more delicious tomorrow."

After finally finishing the meal, Xi Yu's face became serious. He lowered his voice and said to Tuobayu: "Although the food here smells delicious, there is something wrong with it. If I guessed correctly, there are already... Poppy."

When Tuobayu heard this, she had a look of astonishment on her face. She opened her eyes wide and asked curiously: "Poppy? What is that?"

Xi Yu's brows furrowed slightly, and a trace of reminiscence flashed in his eyes. He thought of the opium in his previous life.

That stuff is very deceptive and easily addictive.

Tuobayu looked at Xi Yu intently, with curiosity and worry written on his face, and asked softly: "What is the poppy like?"

Xi Yu took a deep breath and tried to keep his tone calm.

"This flower looks beautiful, but it is full of temptation. Its appearance is very deceptive, and people fall into it without knowing it."

Xi Yu said angrily: "This is a shady shop. In order to boost its business, it actually puts such things to attract customers. Over time, it will definitely be bad for the customers' health!"

After Tuobayu heard this, his face showed surprise and anger, and he became indignant.

"How abominable! How can you treat customers like this!"

Xi Yu raised his hand and knocked lightly on Ouyang Linlin's door.

After Xiaohong opened the door, Xiyu looked inside and asked softly: "Have you two finished eating?"

Ouyang Linlin and Xiaohong nodded in response.

Xiyu frowned and told them again what he had just said to Tuobayu in a serious tone.

After hearing Xi Yu's words, Ouyang Linlin frowned and her face was full of anger. She widened her eyes and said angrily: "This is too much! How could you do such a thing!"

Xiaohong was also filled with indignation. She frowned and echoed: "That's right, the store is really hateful!"

Ouyang Linlin looked at Xi Yu seriously and asked, "Husband, do you plan to stay and resolve this problem before leaving?"

Xi Yu nodded, frowned slightly and said, "That's true, but this may delay our schedule."

There was a hint of worry in his voice.

Ouyang Linlin smiled slightly and said easily: "It doesn't matter, this matter should be solved, and more people should not suffer. When we come to pray to Buddha, shouldn't we keep a kind heart?"

After hearing this, Xi Yu showed an appreciative smile on his face.

"Ouyang Linlin, you are so considerate."

His eyes were full of admiration.

Ouyang Linlin tilted her head and asked Xi Yu with confusion on her face: "Husband, how did you investigate this?"

Xi Yu scratched his head and said with a troubled expression, "I haven't thought about it clearly yet."

Ouyang Linlin's eyes suddenly lit up and she said excitedly: "We should write a letter to ask Song Shuwen to come with us! This way, if some of us feel uncomfortable along the way, we can have Song Shuwen treat us."

Xi Yu suddenly realized it, slapped his head suddenly, and said loudly: "Oh, your idea is really good, I didn't even think of it so thoughtfully."

Afterwards, Xiyu returned to the room.

Xi Yu's eyes became a little fiery. He looked at Tuobayu, raised the corners of his mouth slightly, and said with a hint of a smirk: "Tonight...can we do something passionate?"

As he spoke, an ambiguous look appeared on his face, and his eyes were full of expectation.

Tuobayu's face suddenly turned red. She lowered her head shyly and whispered softly: "You, you only know these things..."

But there was also a hint of emotion in her eyes that was not easy to detect.

Xiyu chuckled.

The next morning, Xi Yu got up early and wrote a letter to Song Shuwen and asked the secret guard to find someone else to deliver it.

Xiyu moved closer to Xiaohong.

"Xiaohong, you'd better go outside quietly to buy those things. Don't let the shopkeeper and the waiter find out."

Xiaohong blinked and nodded solemnly.

"Don't worry, Prime Minister, I know, I will be careful."

After saying that, he cautiously walked out the door.

Xi Yu stood there, staring closely at Xiao Hong's leaving back, with a complex expression of worry and expectation on his face.

Ouyang Linlin frowned, looked at Xi Yu anxiously, and asked urgently: "Husband, how are you going to investigate?"

Xi Yu also had a sad look on his face, scratching his head constantly and saying distressedly: "Oh, I still have no clue."

Ouyang Linlin bit her lip, her eyes suddenly lit up, and she suggested: "If it doesn't work, why don't you reveal your identity."

Upon hearing this, Xi Yu quickly waved his hands and responded with a serious look: "This is not a good idea. What we need most now is evidence, not relying on identity to suppress people."

There was determination and thoughtfulness in his eyes.

Tuobayu frowned and said impatiently: "Oh, why bother? Anyway, I am good at martial arts. I will go directly to question the shopkeeper. If not, I will torture him and see if he says anything!" As he said, She also waved her fist, with a look of indifference on her face.

Xi Yu shook his head quickly, looked solemn, and said seriously: "No, this is not the best policy. We can't act so recklessly, let's collect evidence first."

Tuoba Yu was full of resentment, frowning, and gritted his teeth and said, "I'm so annoyed, I feel so depressed!"

Ouyang Linlin hurriedly stepped forward, gently patted Tuoba Yu's shoulder, and said gently, "Don't be like this, my husband is right." Her eyes were soothing, "Let's wait a little longer."

Tuoba Yu was still a little reluctant, but still sighed helplessly, his expression was still a little depressed. (End of this chapter)
