Chapter 706 The Emperor Wei Ming Who Should Have Appeared

Song Shuwen hurried to the guest room and found Xi Yu who was deep in thought. He said with a serious face: "Prime Minister, I am going to collect medicine because I found that the abbot actually faked his death."

Hearing this, Xi Yu frowned slightly and looked at Song Shuwen with some surprise. Then he nodded slowly and said, "Okay, then you should be more careful."

At this time, Ouyang Linlin was kneeling devoutly in front of the Buddha statue, her face full of concentration and awe.

Xi Yu quickly found Jiu Dazhi and said with a smile: "Master Jiu Dazhi, my wife and I may have to stay for a while."

Jiu Dazhi was a little surprised, but still nodded. Xi Yu continued, "And I will make some donations because my wife wants to fulfill a wish."

Jiu Dazhi looked at Xi Yu, a glimmer of understanding flashed in his eyes, and said, "Okay, no problem."

Seeing Jiu Dazhi agree, Xi Yu felt more at ease and turned to see his wife Ouyang Linlin.

On the other side, after Zhao Yun rested quietly in the cave for a few days, he felt that his body was ready to move.

At this time, the lively and cute little girl came to him bouncing.

"My lady invites you."

Zhao Yun was slightly startled, then nodded, and followed the little girl to get up and go.

They came to an alley and saw a gorgeous lady standing there.

This young lady is wearing a moon-white fairy skirt with wide sleeves and exquisite patterns embroidered with silver thread.

When the lady saw Zhao Yun coming, she showed a faint smile and said softly: "Mr. Zhao, are you feeling better?"

Zhao Yun's face was expressionless, with a hint of coldness in his eyes. He stared straight at the woman in front of him and asked coldly: "Where is this place? Why did you bring me here?"

The woman smiled slightly and said calmly, "My name is Mrs. Huayue."

She paused and then said: "The other soldiers are in the cave. As for me intercepting you, huh, just to ask that Xiyu for money, I am just a bandit leader." When she said this, she The corners of his mouth were raised slightly, with a touch of cunning, but there was an imperceptible complex look in his eyes.

Zhao Yun frowned even more when he heard this, secretly thinking about this woman's purpose and how to deal with her next.

Mrs. Huayue held her hands in front of her chest, with a proud smile on her lips, looked at Zhao Yun and said, "Zhao Yun, I tell you, it is impossible to escape."

There was a hint of slyness in her eyes, "Because you have been poisoned, you need to take the antidote every morning, otherwise you will be heartbroken."

Zhao Yun frowned, his eyes full of vigilance and suspicion, and said coldly: "Don't lie to me."

Mrs. Huayue chuckled lightly, raised her eyebrows and said, "Hmph, you can give it a try. Just touch your belly gently."

Zhao Yun hesitated for a moment, then reached out and gently touched his lower abdomen. A sharp pain hit him instantly. His face suddenly turned pale, and beads of sweat appeared on his forehead. He couldn't help but groan.

Mrs. Huayue looked at Zhao Yun's painful look, with a cruel smile on her face, and said: "How about it, you believe it now."

Zhao Yun gritted his teeth and glared at Mrs. Huayue, his heart full of anger and helplessness.

Zhao Yun's eyes widened with anger, and he gritted his teeth and cursed: "You despicable and shameless woman!"

Mrs. Huayue didn't take it seriously. The corners of her mouth raised slightly, with a look of disdain on her face. She shrugged and said, "Huh, it doesn't matter. I'm shameless. But you are the person Xi Yu likes. It's okay to threaten Xi Yu with you." Very useful.”

Zhao Yun was so angry that he was trembling all over and shouted loudly: "Hurry up and rein in your horse! You are playing with fire and burning yourself!" His eyes were firm and decisive, "I would rather die than let you succeed. I would rather be broken than destroyed!" "

Mrs. Huayue raised her head and laughed, her eyes full of arrogance, "Haha, it doesn't matter, I'm not afraid of anything!" Her unscrupulous look made Zhao Yun even more angry.

On the other side, Xi Yu looked at the bright sunshine outside the window, feeling an urge to go out for a walk.

He narrowed his eyes slightly and said firmly: "I plan to go out for a walk and get some fresh air."

After hearing this, Xiao Hong showed a trace of hesitation on her face. She twisted her clothes unconsciously with her hands and said quickly: "I am willing to stay and accompany the lady to recite Buddha's name."

Xiao Hong still seemed uneasy, her brows were furrowed, her eyes were full of worry, and she said anxiously: "Prime Minister, the situation outside is unclear now, and it may be dangerous for you to go out. It's better to stay."

Xi Yu shook his head slightly, raised the corners of his mouth, and showed a confident smile, with determination in his eyes: "It doesn't matter, I have made up my mind, I am determined to go out for a walk."

After that, he strode out the door.

Xi Yu left the temple courtyard and suddenly saw Jiu Dazhi walking over.

He thought to himself that now that he had donated money, Jiu Dazhi was indeed more friendly to him.

Jiu Dazhi walked forward with a smile. When he learned that Xi Yu was out, Jiu Dazhi's eyes showed a trace of worry.

Xi Yu smiled and shook his head, and said with a relaxed expression: "Thank you for your concern, Master Jiu Dazhi, but it's okay."

Jiu Dazhi frowned and continued: "The donor doesn't know something. People from the Central Plains may not be very popular here now."

Xi Yu smiled heartily and said confidently: "Don't worry, Master Jiu Dazhi, I will be careful."

After saying that, he walked out, leaving Jiu Dazhi standing there looking at his back, still with a trace of worry in his eyes.

Xiyu walked leisurely on the street, his eyes casually sweeping over the soldiers around him who were still persuading others to join the army.

There was a hint of indifference on his face, but he thought silently in his heart: I have already said everything I should say to Chachatu, as for whether he listens or not, that is his business, and it has nothing to do with me.

He sighed slightly, a trace of helplessness flashed in his eyes, and he muttered softly: "Hey, I have tried my best."

Then, he continued to walk forward slowly, as if everything around him had nothing to do with him.

After a while, Xiyu walked to a lively market.

He looked around, and there were many people from the Central Plains who were busy doing business.

The whole market presented a very prosperous scene, which made Xiyu feel that it seemed to be a little different from the chaotic world outside.

At this time, a Central Plains man saw Xiyu, and his face suddenly showed a particularly friendly expression, and he said excitedly: "Oh, there are people from the Central Plains who have come here!"

His eyes were full of surprise, and then he couldn't wait to ask, "Is the Central Plains okay now?" Xiyu smiled and gently replied: "Everything is fine."

This Central Plains man turned out to be a tea seller, and he enthusiastically wanted to give Xiyu some tea.

Xiyu quickly waved his hand to refuse, and said firmly: "No, no, I can't accept it. If I accept it, I have to pay."

When saying this, Xiyu's face was firm and stubborn.

The Central Plains man who sold tea wanted to persuade him again, but Xiyu was unmoved.

The Central Plains man had no choice but to ask Xiyu to give him a cheaper price, and Xiyu agreed.

Xiyu smiled and chatted with him for a few more words, and then began to stroll around casually.

After a while, Xiyu came to a stall selling cakes, and his eyes suddenly fell on a young man, who looked very familiar.

When the man saw Xiyu, his expression became very unnatural, and he quickly lowered his head.

Seeing this, Xiyu couldn't help but fall into deep thought, muttering to himself: I always feel that I have seen this person somewhere.

He frowned, stared at the young man closely, and tried to search for information about this person in his memory.

Xiyu continued to move forward slowly, gradually leaving the bustling market.

At this moment, suddenly a flash of lightning flashed through his mind, and a flash of inspiration came to him.

He finally knew who this young man was!

He was shocked because he found that the young man looked very similar to Cao Pi.

He thought to himself: He should be Cao Pi's son Cao Rui, that is, the Wei Ming Emperor who should have appeared in history.

Thinking of this, Xiyu's eyes became complicated, with surprise, confusion, and a trace of indescribable emotions.

When Xiyu thought of this, his steps stopped involuntarily, and then he turned around and walked back again.

Along the way, his thoughts kept drifting, and he recalled every bit of his time with Cao Pi.

He remembered that after he came to this world, he first surrendered to Cao Cao, and then had many intersections and entanglements with Cao Pi.

After a series of things, he finally destroyed Cao Pi. But he was kind by nature, so he naturally did not kill all the descendants of the Cao family.

Unexpectedly, Cao Rui came here to do business.

Xi Yu's heart was filled with many complex emotions, including emotion, surprise, and sighs about the fickleness of fate.

When he came to the cake stall again, his eyes were fixed on Cao Rui, and he secretly thought about how to deal with this sudden situation next.

On the other side, Han Dalong, the envoy sent by Liu Bei, rushed to Youzhou in a hurry.

He looked anxious, grabbed Liu Bei's letter, handed it to the soldiers, and said anxiously: "This is a letter from Lord Liu Bei. I want to give it to Prime Minister Xi Yu in person. I hope you can be flexible." His eyes were full of expectation.

The soldiers frowned and told him expressionlessly: "The Prime Minister is not at home."

Han Dalong was panicked when he heard this, and hurriedly said: "Lord Liu said that if the letter cannot be given to the Prime Minister, then give it to His Majesty."

The soldiers were angry when they heard this. One of them widened his eyes and shouted angrily: "Is His Majesty someone who wants to see him? Leave the letter and you can leave!"

Han Dalong was unwilling, thinking: If I can't see His Majesty, I can't explain it to Lord Liu when I go back. So he still said, "Please, let me see His Majesty, otherwise I really can't explain myself."

But the soldiers were unmoved and still insisted on their principles. One of them said viciously, "If you don't leave, I will kick you out!"

Han Dalong looked at these tough soldiers, his heart was full of helplessness and sadness. Finally, he had to grit his teeth and reluctantly agreed, "Okay, I'll go."

After saying that, he turned around and left dejectedly, his steps were extremely heavy.

Han Dalong reluctantly rode on his horse and slowly set off on the way back.

As he rode forward, he secretly thought in his heart: Lord Liu Bei has always had a good temper, maybe he really won't blame himself too much this time.

His brows were slightly wrinkled, with a trace of worry on his face, but as this thought kept circling in his mind, his hanging heart finally slowly calmed down a little.

He breathed a sigh of relief and silently muttered in his heart: "I hope the lord can really understand my helplessness this time."

The horse's hooves clattered, raising dust all the way, and Han Dalong's figure gradually disappeared in the distance.

On the other side, Xi Yu walked slowly on the street, his eyes wandering around. In fact, he came out to stroll this time, and deep in his heart he hoped to see Tuoba Yu's figure.

He thought silently in his heart: "Tuoba Yu, Tuoba Yu, even if there is only a slight possibility, I want to see you."

He knew clearly that this hope was extremely slim, but he couldn't help but hold such expectations.

"Alas, I still can't believe that Tuoba Yu is really separated from me." Xi Yu sighed in his heart as he walked, his face full of loneliness and melancholy.

Finally, Xi Yu came to the stall of the young man, that is, Cao Rui.

The moment Cao Rui saw him, a flash of astonishment flashed across his eyes, and his face turned pale. After a soft cry of "Ah", he was startled again, and then quickly lowered his head, not daring to look at Xiyu.

Xiyu looked at Cao Rui's reaction, and he whispered: "Why are you so afraid of me?"

His brows were slightly wrinkled, and his eyes were fixed on Cao Rui, as if he wanted to see something from him.

Cao Rui bit his lips tightly, his body trembled slightly, and he didn't say a word, but lowered his head even lower.

Xiyu had a faint smile on his face, and deliberately asked: "I am also from the Central Plains, and you are also from the Central Plains. Logically speaking, you should feel very friendly when you see me. Besides, I am your customer now, shouldn't you treat me warmly?"

When saying this, Xiyu's eyes were fixed on Cao Rui, as if he wanted to see through his mind.

Cao Rui's face instantly became a little embarrassed, he opened his mouth slightly, but didn't know what to say.

After a while, he seemed to come back to his senses and asked in a panic: "Then...then did you take a fancy to my cakes? How much do you want to buy?"

His eyes flickered and his hands rubbed unconsciously, looking uneasy.

Xiyu had a faint smile on his face, his eyes were gentle but with a hint of inquiry, and he looked at Cao Rui quietly, but said nothing.

Cao Rui was stared at by Xiyu like this, and his heart was straight. He couldn't help asking: "I have greeted you very politely, why...why don't you say anything?"

His heart was full of doubts and uneasiness, his brows were slightly wrinkled, and his expression on his face was a little unnatural.

At this time, Xiyu asked leisurely: "Is your name Cao Rui?"

Hearing this, Cao Rui was like being electrocuted, his body shook violently, and his heart "clicked".

His mind was instantly blank, his face turned pale, and his eyes were full of astonishment and fear.

Fine beads of sweat appeared on his forehead, and he froze there, not knowing what to do.

Next, Xiyu lowered his head slightly, lowered his voice and said slowly: "You are Cao Rui."

Cao Rui's body trembled slightly, and he had indeed recognized that the person in front of him was Xiyu.

And he undoubtedly hated Xiyu, after all, Cao Pi died because of Xiyu.

At this time, Cao Rui took a deep breath and slowly stroked his chest. After hearing what Xiyu said, he was no longer nervous, but raised his head and looked at Xiyu coldly, as if his eyes were filled with endless hatred and indifference, as if he wanted to see through Xiyu.

The two of them just stood there quietly, and the air around them seemed to solidify.

Next, Xiyu's face was calm, and his eyes were deep, saying: "I understand his hatred for me, but in the process of competing for the Central Plains, it is the survival of the fittest. Either you die or I live."

For a moment, the air seemed to be still, and silence spread between the two for a long time.

Finally, after a long silence, Cao Rui slowly nodded his head. He thought to himself: Maybe Xiyu's existence is really allowed by God.

He knew that Xiyu was really good to the people and made many remarkable achievements in governance.

Thinking of this, Cao Rui's eyes, which were originally full of hatred, also eased a little.

Xiyu wanted to tell Cao Rui in his heart that even if the Cao family finally took power, they would be impacted and baptized by the Sima family, and their end would probably be even more miserable.

But he thought again, if he really said that, the other party would definitely not believe it.

So, Xiyu chose to remain silent after all, but the slightly frowned brows seemed to show his inner entanglement and complexity.

After a while, Cao Rui suddenly laughed miserably, his laughter was full of sadness and helplessness. He looked at Xi Yu and asked with a trembling voice: "Why did you come to the Kushan Empire? You are not here to hunt me down, are you?"

Xi Yu was stunned at first, and then laughed, with a hint of amusement in his laughter, "Is it necessary?"

After hearing Xi Yu's answer, Cao Rui suddenly felt that he was overthinking, and a self-deprecating expression appeared on his face. Yes, why would Xi Yu come here to hunt me down? Maybe he is really too sensitive.

He lowered his head silently, with a lot of thoughts in his mind.

Cao Rui took a deep breath and tried to calm himself down.

Xi Yu looked at Cao Rui like this and was slightly touched, but he still kept a faint smile on his face and said, "I came here because I have things to do."

Cao Rui nodded and stopped talking. He just stood there silently, as if thinking about something. (End of this chapter)
