Chapter 764 Tuoba Yu Returns
The woman looked up and was slightly stunned at Tuoba Yu's anxious look.
She sighed and said, "I just heard about it, but I don't know the specific situation. I only know that the prime minister's son died suddenly, and it seems that he was killed by some evil person."
Tuoba Yu's face became more solemn, and a surge of anger surged in her heart.
"Evil person? Who is so cruel?" She gritted her teeth and said.
The woman shook her head and said, "I don't know about that."
Tuoba Yu nodded slightly, and her heart was full of worry about Xi Yu.
She got on the horse again and galloped towards Youzhou.
The night was deep, and a thin layer of fog filled the Youzhou border crossing in the early morning.
Tuoba Yu rode slowly on his horse, and the sound of horse hooves was particularly clear in the silent night.
The soldiers guarding the border crossing immediately became alert, holding their weapons tightly, and shouted loudly: "Who is it? Do you have any procedures?"
Their eyes were full of vigilance, and they scanned the surroundings nervously in the dark.
Tuoba Yu stopped her horse, raised her head slightly, and said in a clear and firm voice: "I am Madam Tuoba."
The soldiers were slightly stunned when they heard Tuoba Yu's answer, and then looked at her carefully.
Under the dim light, they saw Tuoba Yu's familiar face.
She was dressed in a tight outfit, her long hair fluttering in the wind, and her eyes flashed with a resolute light.
"It's Madam Tuoba!" The soldiers showed surprise, and their tone was a little more respectful.
So, they made way and said respectfully: "Madam, please come in."
Tuoba Yu nodded the horse's head lightly, and the horse quickly ran towards Youzhou City.
Tuoba Yu rode his horse slowly into the city, and the sound of horse hooves echoed in the quiet streets, which seemed particularly clear.
The whole city was quiet, as if immersed in a deep sleep.
The faint moonlight sprinkled on the stone road, emitting a faint silver light.
Tuoba Yu looked around, looking at the closed doors and windows and the empty streets, and a trace of emotion surged in her heart.
The once bustling Youzhou City was so quiet at this moment.
She felt a little sleepy and her body was slightly tired.
The continuous journey made her eyes full of bloodshot, and her eyelids were so heavy that they seemed to close at any time.
However, when she thought of Xi Yu and Xi Ping'an, the power in her heart surged again.
Tuoba Yu held the reins tightly and said to herself secretly: "I can't stop, I must move forward bravely."
There was a firm light in her eyes, and a hint of stubbornness appeared on her tired face.
The horse seemed to feel her determination and moved forward more steadily.
Tuoba Yu straightened up, facing the breeze, and moved towards the direction of the Prime Minister's Mansion.
She knew that what was waiting for her might be unknown difficulties and challenges, but she was not afraid.
In this quiet night, Tuoba Yu was like a brave warrior, moving firmly towards her goal.
Tuoba Yu rode a horse and slowly stopped in front of the Prime Minister's Mansion.
She looked up at the familiar gate, feeling a lot of emotions in her heart.
The memories of the past surged into her heart like a tide, and those bits and pieces of Xi Yu here seemed to be just yesterday.
Her eyes revealed complex emotions, with longing, worry, and a hint of nervousness.
The soldiers guarding the gate were a little sleepy, and their heads were nodding.
However, the moment they saw Tuoba Yu, they all widened their eyes and looked incredulous.
They rubbed their eyes hard, thinking that their eyes were blurry.
"This... is this Madam Tuoba?" A soldier whispered.
"It's really Madam Tuoba!" Another soldier also said in surprise.
They looked at Tuoba Yu, their eyes full of surprise and awe.
Tuoba Yu raised his chin slightly and looked at them firmly.
"I am Tuoba Yu." Tuoba Yu's voice was crisp and firm.
The soldiers were excited, and their eyes were shining with excitement.
One of the soldiers said anxiously: "The Prime Minister has always been concerned about Madam Tuoba. I didn't expect you to finally come back. Madam, please come in."
They all stepped aside to make way for Tuoba Yu, their eyes full of expectation and joy.
Tuoba Yu's heart moved slightly, and when she heard the soldiers' words, she felt a warm feeling in her heart.
She nodded slightly, quickened her pace to enter the Prime Minister's Mansion, and then walked straight to Xiyu's room.
Her heartbeat accelerated involuntarily, and Xiyu's face kept appearing in her mind.
Finally, she came to the door of Xiyu's room, raised her hand and knocked gently.
Xiyu, who was sleeping, was awakened by the slight knock on the door, and a trace of displeasure surged in his heart.
He frowned, with a hint of fatigue and questioning in his voice: "Who is it?"
Tuoba Yu heard Xiyu's voice, and his hand paused slightly, and stopped in mid-air.
She suddenly felt nervous and hesitant in her heart, not knowing how to answer.
She opened her mouth, but no sound came out.
In the room, Xiyu didn't hear a response, and he was even more confused.
He sat up and prepared to ask again.
At this time, Tuoba Yu stood outside the door, with a lot of thoughts in his mind.
She didn't know how to face Xiyu, nor did she know how he would react when he saw her.
She clenched her hands tightly, nervously waiting for Xiyu's next move.
Xiyu walked out of the room slowly, with a trace of fatigue and confusion in his heart.
When his eyes looked forward, he froze in place as if struck by lightning.
The person standing in front of me turned out to be Tuobayu.
Xi Yu's eyes were full of shock and disbelief.
His lips were trembling slightly, and his heartbeat seemed to have missed a few beats. "This...how is this possible?"
He kept asking himself in his mind.
Tuobayu just stood there quietly, with complex emotions in his eyes, including longing, expectation, and a hint of unnoticeable nervousness.
Xi Yu rubbed his eyes vigorously, as if he couldn't believe what he saw.
"Am I hallucinating?" His mind was in chaos.
However, when he opened his eyes again, Tuobayu was still standing there, it was real, not a dream.
An indescribable joy surged in Xi Yu's heart.
The two of them just looked at each other quietly, and time seemed to freeze at this moment.
Everything around them became blurry, and only their silhouettes were clearly visible.
After a while, Xi Yu finally broke the silence.
"Tuobayu...is it really you?" His voice trembled slightly, with a hint of uncertainty.
Tuobayu didn't speak, but nodded slightly. Her eyes were a little red, and tears were welling up in her eyes.
Xi Yu took a few steps forward, staggering a little. His heart was filled with excitement and emotion.
"I thought I'd never see you again."
Tuobayu's tears finally couldn't help but flow down.
"I also thought...I thought I would never see you again."
Xiyu opened his arms, and Tuobayu quickly jumped into his arms.
Xi Yu hugged her tightly, as if he was afraid that she would disappear again.
He could feel Tuobayu's body trembling slightly, and he gently stroked her hair, his heart full of pity.
"From now on, we will never be separated again." Xi Yu whispered in Tuobayu's ear.
Tuobayu nodded vigorously.
"Never separate again."
They hugged each other tightly, feeling each other's warmth and heartbeat.
At this moment, it seemed like there were only the two of them left in the world, and all the worries and pain disappeared.
Xi Yu hugged Tuobayu tightly and walked into the room quickly. There were thousands of words in his heart, as if he wanted to pour them all out at this moment.
Tuobayu leaned in Xi Yu's arms and said with a guilty look on his face: "It's all my willfulness that made us go through so many twists and turns."
Xi Yu looked at her tenderly, shook his head slightly, and said, "Don't say anything anymore, I have forgiven you. I only care about where you are during this time and whether you are living well."
A trace of emotion flashed in Tuobayu's eyes. She lowered her eyes slightly and began to tell a series of recent events.
"After I left in anger that day, I was filled with regret, but I didn't know how to look back..."
Xiyu listened to Tuobayu's story with shock and distress on his face.
He never expected that Tuobayu would experience such an ordeal as amnesia.
"It turns out that the two Taoist priests Qingfeng Mingyue helped you. We must keep this kindness in our hearts. When I have time, I will take you to Kunlun Mountain and thank them personally."
Xi Yu said solemnly, his eyes full of gratitude and respect.
At this moment, Tuobayu suddenly yawned.
When Xi Yu saw this, his heart was full of pity.
He looked at Tuobayu tenderly and said softly: "You must be tired. Go back to your room and rest. Have a good sleep and drive away the fatigue of these days."
Tuobayu nodded slightly, with a trace of tiredness in his eyes. Xi Yu gently lifted her up, as if he were protecting the most precious treasure in the world, and slowly walked towards her room.
He made a bed for Tuobayu and covered her with a quilt carefully.
Looking at Tuobayu's peaceful sleeping face, a warm current surged in Xiyu's heart.
The atmosphere in the room instantly became heated.
Xi Yu was like a sudden rain after a long drought, and the long-suppressed emotions in his heart completely exploded at this moment.
He threw himself on Tuobayu, his eyes full of affection and desire.
Tuobayu was startled for a moment, then a blush appeared on his face, and the same emotion was revealed in his eyes.
The two hugged each other tightly, feeling each other's warmth and heartbeat.
After the passion, Tuobayu's eyes were still a little confused, but soon her expression became serious.
"Husband, is Xi Ping'an really dead? I always feel that something is a little strange. Are you acting?"
Tuobayu stared at Xi Yu closely, trying to find the answer from his expression.
Xi Yu was slightly startled. He didn't expect Tuobayu to notice it so quickly.
After a moment of silence, he sighed and said: "You are really keen. Since you have already noticed it, I won't hide it from you. Xi Ping'an is indeed not dead. All of this is a trap set by me."
Tuobayu waited for Xi Yu to continue explaining. Xi Yu said slowly: "The situation at that time was very critical. We were facing a powerful enemy. In order to protect Xi Ping An and to make the enemy relax their vigilance, I had to create the illusion that Xi Ping An was dead. I secretly transferred him to A safe place to wait until the time is right for him to show up.”
"Then where is Xi Ping'an now? Is he safe?" Tuobayu asked with concern.
Xi Yu held Tuobayu's hand and said, "Don't worry, he is safe. He is in a secret place now and is protected by someone. When the time is right, we can let him return to everyone's sight."
Tuobayu nodded, and the doubts in his heart were finally eliminated.
Xi Yu gently stroked Tuoba Yu's hair and said softly: "Okay, you have a good rest. This matter must be kept secret. No one can know that Xi Ping'an is still alive, otherwise all our previous efforts will be in vain."
Tuoba Yu raised his head slightly, looked into Xi Yu's eyes, and said firmly: "Don't worry, I will keep my mouth shut. This matter is of great importance, and I will not take it lightly."
Xi Yu smiled with relief and kissed Tuoba Yu's forehead gently.
"Go to sleep, everything will be fine when you wake up." He said softly.
The next day, Song Shuwen woke up slowly, his head was still a little dizzy.
He slowly opened his eyes. He didn't know how long he had been asleep, and he didn't know whether it was night or day.
Just then, he heard a slight sound of footsteps.
Then, a voice sounded: "Eat quickly when you wake up, and you must answer whether you agree with the boss's request after eating. Remember, don't make conditions just because you know medical skills."
Song Shuwen wolfed down the food. He was really hungry.
The taste of the food spread in his mouth, making him feel extremely satisfied. While he was eating, he was thinking about his situation in his mind.
"The current situation is not good. I am trapped here and don't know what the situation is outside. If I don't agree to their request, I'm afraid it will be difficult to survive. But if I agree, I don't know what consequences I will face." Song Shuwen's heart was full of contradictions.
At this moment, the person who delivered the meal came in again. He looked at Song Shuwen and asked, "Have you thought about it? What do you think?"
He took a deep breath and said, "I am willing to agree to the boss's request."
The person who delivered the meal showed a satisfied smile: "Very good, a man who knows the times is a hero. Don't worry, as long as you are obedient, the boss will not treat you badly."
Song Shuwen lowered his head slightly and sighed in his heart. "I don't want to be like this, but in order to survive, I have no choice. Let's survive first, and then find a chance to get rid of their control later." He thought silently in his heart.
The person who delivered the meal explained some precautions and turned away.
Song Shuwen sat there with a heavy heart.
He didn't know if his decision was right, but he knew that he had to take it one step at a time and wait for the opportunity.
A moment later, Song Shuwen keenly heard a slight sound of footsteps coming from afar.
His heart suddenly tightened, knowing that the man had come in again.
Soon, the man came in front of him and put the mask on him again without saying a word.
"Follow me." The man said briefly.
Song Shuwen did not resist, stood up obediently and followed the man.
They walked for a while, and Song Shuwen felt as if he was in a strange and mysterious world.
Finally, they stopped. Song Shuwen guessed that he had come to Lao Song's place again, but the mask was not taken off.
He still needed to go to Lao Song's mother's house.
Old Song's voice rang in his ears: "Song Shuwen, have you thought about it?"
Song Shuwen's throat was a little dry, he nodded slightly and said, "Yes."
Old Song looked at Song Shuwen, a trace of satisfaction flashed in his eyes, and he said, "Very good."
Then, he waved his hand and signaled his men to take Song Shuwen away.
Before Song Shuwen could react, he was pushed forward.
Soon, Song Shuwen got on a carriage.
As soon as he sat down, he heard a slight breathing sound from his side.
He knew that the cook was also in the carriage to prevent him from taking off the blindfold.
Song Shuwen felt helpless, but he also understood that in this situation, resistance was useless.
He simply didn't think about anything, leaned against the wall of the carriage, and let the carriage take him forward.
The carriage was swaying and making a "creaking" sound.
The carriage slowly stopped, and Song Shuwen's heart was lifted up.
The person delivering the meal jumped off the carriage first, and then reached out to pull Song Shuwen down as well.
Song Shuwen's steps were a little shaky.
The person delivering the meal walked into the village with Song Shuwen without saying a word.
This was an ordinary village, with houses scattered in an orderly manner, smoke rising from the chimneys, and the air filled with the smell of soil and grass.
Finally, they came to a farmer's house.
The person delivering the meal stopped, turned around and looked at Song Shuwen, and said, "We're here."
Then he reached out and took off Song Shuwen's blindfold.
Song Shuwen blinked his eyes and adapted to the sudden light.
In front of him was an ordinary farmyard.
Some vegetables and flowers were planted in the yard, and an old hen was foraging for food with a few chicks in the yard.
The house was built with adobe and wood. Although it was simple, it gave people a warm feeling.
Just as Song Shuwen was sitting in the house thinking, a man slowly walked out of the house next door. The person delivering the meal nodded quickly when he saw the man, and said respectfully: "This is the genius doctor Song Shuwen brought by the boss. Hurry up and treat the old man."
The man heard this, his eyes fell on Song Shuwen, looked him up and down, and then said in a calm tone: "Come in."
Song Shuwen stood up and followed the man.
The man said as he walked: "I am the younger brother of Lao Song, my name is Song Dabao."
As Song Dabao walked into the room, a stale smell hit him in the face.
The light in the room was a little dim. A simple bed was placed in the middle of the room, and an old woman was lying on it.
The old woman was pale, her eyes were closed, and she looked very weak.
Song Shuwen walked to the bedside and carefully observed the old woman's complexion and pulse.
His brows were slightly wrinkled, thinking about the possibility of the disease.
Song Dabao looked at Song Shuwen nervously and asked, "How is it? Can my mother's disease be cured?"
Song Shuwen was silent for a moment and said, "It's hard to say at the moment. I need to learn more about the disease."
Song Dabao showed a trace of anxiety on his face and said, "Then I'll trouble you. You must cure my mother's disease." Song Shuwen nodded slightly and began to ask about the old woman's symptoms and medical history. (End of this chapter)
