We agreed that you, a weak strategist, would fight against three heroes by yourself?

Tuoba Lu felt anxious and rushed out, chasing after him.

Tuoba Lu walked in a hurry and finally caught up with the girl at an alley.

The girl heard footsteps behind her and looked back in confusion.

Only then did Tuoba Lu realize that he had chased the wrong person. His face showed embarrassment and apology, and he stammered: "I'm sorry, I...I recognized the wrong person."

The girl glared at him and cursed angrily: "You must have a mental problem."

As night falls, the lanterns come on. Xi Yu, Song Shuwen, and Guan Yu walked forward together, and Tuoba Yu followed them quietly.

They walked into a simple inn and asked for several rooms. The inn seemed particularly quiet at night, with only the occasional slight sound of footsteps.

Guan Yu came to Xi Yu's room and knocked gently on the door.

Xi Yu opened the door and let Guan Yu into the room.

Guan Yu sat on the chair, looked at Xi Yu, and said softly: "Your Majesty Prime Minister, I think Tuobayu must have fallen in love with you."

Xi Yu was slightly startled.

Guan Yu continued: "But her identity is special. If she knew your true identity, she might not follow you like she does now? Look, should we tell Tuobayu about your identity?"

Xi Yu was silent for a moment, then shook his head and said softly: "No need for now, now is not the time."

Outside the window, the night was like ink, and occasionally a gust of wind blew by, making the window paper rustle slightly.

Guan Yu frowned slightly and said worriedly: "But when we return to Youzhou, Tuobayu will know about this sooner or later."

Xi Yu seemed more relaxed. He raised his head slightly, looked at the sky, and responded calmly: "Let's talk about it later."

But Jia Xu's body was already escorted back to Youzhou by several soldiers.

Finally he was sent to the camp.

Zhao Yun holds a letter in his hand.

A soldier stood aside and whispered: "General, Mr. Jia's body has been brought back to Youzhou in advance and temporarily placed in the military camp."

Zhao Yun frowned, and he slowly said: "I understand."

The soldier continued: "The Prime Minister asked me to tell you the news. He has not been at home these days because he went to deal with the plague problem."

When Zhao Yun heard this, he was slightly startled and murmured to himself: "So that's how it is..."

After a while, Zhao Yun read the letter.

Xi Yu told him that Jia Xu died of the plague, but he couldn't tell everyone the truth because he wanted to publicize that he was accused of committing a crime.

A complicated expression flashed across Zhao Yun's face, and he sighed softly, with a trace of helplessness and sadness in his eyes. On the other side, the Prime Minister's Mansion.

Ouyang Linlin's room was filled with light incense. Ouyang Linlin, Wan'er, Xi Shi and other ladies were sitting around the table, playing cards intently.

Ouyang Linlin frowned slightly and said while playing her cards: "I haven't seen my husband these days. Where has he gone?"

Wan'er pursed her lips slightly, with a puzzled look on her face.

"Yeah, it's really worrying."

Xi Shi also shook his head slightly.

"No news at all."

At this time, Sun Shangxiang suddenly said: "I seem to have heard that my husband went to deal with the plague, and I heard that Jia Xu's body has been sent back."

Her words surprised everyone.

Ouyang Linlin's eyes widened, "What? Plague? Will he be in danger?" Her face was full of worry.

Wan'er's face also became a little nervous.

"I really didn't expect this."

The next day, the early morning sun shone on the earth, and Xi Yu planned to continue on his way.

Guan Yu strode into Tuobayu's room.

Guan Yu looked at Tuobayu and said with sharp eyes: "Tuobayu, I have something to tell you."

Tuobayu was startled for a moment, then said: "I'm getting ready to leave."

Guan Yu stared at Tuoyu Yu closely and asked seriously: "Do you know the identity of the young man who is with us? What is your purpose in approaching him?"

After hearing Guan Yu's words, Tuobayu had a confused look on his face.

She opened her mouth, as if she wanted to say something, but she didn't know where to start.

She frowned, her eyes filled with confusion and confusion.

"What are you talking about? Why don't I understand..."

Xi Yu suddenly appeared at the door, his face gloomy and obviously unhappy.

"You guys leave quickly!" Xi Yu said in a low voice.

Guan Yu couldn't bear it any longer. He stared at Tuoyu Yu with wide eyes, and directly revealed Xi Yu's identity as the Prime Minister: "Tuo Bayu, do you know that he is the Prime Minister of the current dynasty!"

Hearing this, Tuobayu showed a very surprised expression on his face.

Her eyes were wide open and her mouth was slightly open, looking in disbelief.

Guan Yu continued: "Since you already know, don't think about climbing up the dragon and attaching yourself to the phoenix! I hope you leave Xiyu soon!"

Xi Yu frowned, a trace of anger flashing across his face.

He shouted sternly: "Guan Yu, stop talking!

Guan Yu knelt down with a plop, his eyes firm and persistent.

"Lord, I am willing to accept any punishment. I am doing this for your own good!"

There was a hint of urgency in Guan Yu's voice, "How can you like a foreign woman!"

Tuobayu's face turned pale instantly.

Her body was shaking slightly, as if she had been hit hard.

She ran out quickly, each step seemed so heavy, and her back revealed endless grief.

Upon seeing this, Xi Yu frowned, a trace of anxiety and helplessness flashed across his face, and he immediately chased after him.

Xi Yu gasped for air, sweat sliding down his face. He looked around anxiously, his eyes full of urgency and loss.

"Tuoyu... Tuoyu! Where are you?" Xi Yu shouted.

He never caught up with him.

He ran out of breath, but still couldn't find Tuobayu, which made him even more anxious.

At this time, Song Shuwen in the inn heard the noise outside and quickly came to Guan Yu's side.

Song Shuwen frowned, looked at Guan Yu, and asked, "What happened?"

Guan Yu took a deep breath and said with some annoyance: "Prime Minister, I went to chase Tuobayu, but I didn't catch up. He seems to have fallen in love with her."

Then he briefly talked about what happened just now.

After hearing this, Song Shuwen shook his head helplessly and said, "You are too hasty, how can you be so impulsive?"

Guan Yu lowered his head with a guilty look on his face. He also knew that there was something wrong with what he did.

Xi Yu was still looking anxiously outside, his heart filled with longing and worry for Tuobayu...

Xi Yu finally returned to the inn exhausted, his eyes full of anger, and walked straight to Guan Yu.

Xi Yu's eyes widened angrily, he pointed at Guan Yu and reprimanded loudly: "Look at the good things you have done! Why are you doing this!"

Guan Yu raised his head, still with a hint of stubbornness on his face, and argued: "I didn't do anything wrong, I just did what I thought."

Xi Yu was so angry that he was trembling all over. He gritted his teeth and said, "You still said you were right? If I can't find Tuobayu, I won't leave here. Now go out and look for him. If you can't find him, take your head." Come and see me!”

Guan Yu was silent for a moment, and then said stubbornly: "I will look for it, but I don't think I did anything wrong."

Xi Yu glared at Guan Yu fiercely, turned around and sat aside, breathing heavily, his eyes full of determination and persistence.

Guan Yu left without saying a word. Song Shuwen quickly walked to Xi Yu's side and comforted him: "Don't be angry, Prime Minister."

Xi Yu's chest heaved violently, and he said with lingering anger: "How can I not be angry! He is too reckless!"

At this moment, the waiter came over and asked cautiously: "Guests, do you want to check out?"

Xi Yu took a deep breath, calmed down, and said, "No, we will continue to live."

The waiter felt relieved and nodded quickly and said, "Okay, sir, I'll make arrangements right now." After saying that, he turned and left.

Song Shuwen looked at Xi Yu and sighed slightly, feeling worried about the next situation.

Guan Yu came outside, frowning tightly, and complained secretly in his heart: "Humph, what is this? But there is no other way, we still have to find someone."

He shook his head helplessly, but with so many people, where were they going to find them?

As time goes by, gradually, dusk comes, and a gorgeous sunset glow appears on the horizon.

Xi Yu waited anxiously in the inn, but Guan Yu never returned.

He was restless, thinking in his mind: "When has this been, why haven't you come back yet? Tuobayu can't be found, not even Guan Yu can be found."

He looked at the door from time to time, his face full of worry and anxiety.

Tuobayu came to a place in despair, found a corner and sat down, ordered a bottle of wine, and started to get drunk.

Her eyes were a little blurred, and there was a bit of melancholy and sadness on her face.

In fact, after she left the inn, she had been hiding in a remote corner, watching Xi Yu anxiously come out to look for her.

When she saw Xi Yu's anxious look, a burst of complicated emotions surged in her heart.

However, Xi Yu didn't notice her presence. She just watched silently, with mixed feelings in her heart, and smiled bitterly, with a hint of loneliness and helplessness in her eyes.

Today, Tuoba Yu is drunk alone.

She looked forward with empty eyes, and her heart was full of bitterness. She had always regarded Xi Yu as a friend, but she didn't expect that Guan Yu would interfere with him, which made her feel extremely annoyed.

She suddenly picked up the wine bottle and took another sip of wine, involuntarily comparing Xi Yu with the man she loved. She recalled every bit of her time with Xi Yu, and she couldn't help but wonder: Did she really fall in love with Xi Yu?

This thought made her a little panicked. She never thought that she would have such emotions for Xi Yu.

She thought quietly, her heart full of entanglements and struggles, not knowing how to face her feelings...

While Tuobayu was drinking one glass after another, a customer hurriedly came to the shopkeeper and said anxiously: "Shopkeeper, it's not good! Your son has a conflict with someone else. Go and have a look!" "

When the shopkeeper heard this, his face instantly became nervous, and he quickly said: "Oh, what can I do?"

After that, he ran outside anxiously.

The shopkeeper jogged all the way and came to an intersection.

I saw my son Ma Wei and a man sitting on the ground, both with varying degrees of injuries.

The shopkeeper rushed over and asked with concern: "Ma Wei, how are you? What's going on?"

Ma Wei gritted his teeth and said angrily: "Dad, this man is unreasonable. We just had a dispute over a trivial matter, and he beat me!"

The shopkeeper looked at the man, who also said unconvinced: "He was obviously the one who provoked me first!"

The shopkeeper's brows furrowed, his face full of anxiety and helplessness.

While checking his son's injuries, he said: "Stop arguing, stop arguing, and go see a doctor first!"

Around them, some onlookers gathered, everyone was whispering and discussing what happened.

Ma Wei asked the shopkeeper to report the case immediately.

The man suddenly shouted. His voice was full of panic and despair, as if his world had collapsed.

He said that the reason why he had a conflict with Ma Wei was because he was in a bad mood.

Then, his emotions began to lose control and tears flowed down uncontrollably.

His body was shaking as if he was in great pain.

His eyes were full of helplessness and confusion, as if he didn't know how to face everything in front of him.

The man was sobbing and said: "Don't report it to the official. I am willing to compensate Ma Wei. I really didn't mean it. I am in a bad mood today..."

Seeing his appearance, Ma Wei couldn't bear it anymore and said, "Forget it, it's not all your fault. I also get angry sometimes."

Upon seeing this, the shopkeeper showed a happy smile on his face and said: "Oh, it's like we don't know each other until we fight! Stop standing here and go back to the inn to eat!"

The man raised his head and looked at the shopkeeper He Ma Wei gratefully, with a hint of embarrassment in his eyes. He wiped away his tears, stood up, and followed the shopkeeper to the inn with Ma Wei.

The shopkeeper had a kind face and comforted the man from time to time.

Ma Wei walked into the inn with the man.

Tuobayu was immersed in drunkenness when she suddenly saw the man's figure, and she was instantly stunned.

Her eyes widened and she stared directly at the man, her eyes full of disbelief and surprise.

She quickly stood up and stumbled over to the crying man.

Tuobayu shouted with a trembling voice: "Hailan, Hailan, is it really you?"

The man was baffled by her behavior.

He frowned, looked at Tuobayu in confusion, and said, "Girl, have you recognized the wrong person? I don't know you. My name is not Hailan, my name is Tong Weidong."

Tuobayu couldn't help but shed tears after listening to his words.

Her face was full of disappointment and sadness, and she murmured to herself: "How could this happen...how could it not be you..."

The man looked at the crying Tuobayu, standing there at a loss, with a look of embarrassment and helplessness on his face.

Tuobayu looked at the man with tears in her eyes and said, "You must be afraid of my brother, so you don't dare to recognize me, right? It doesn't matter, we won't go back to Xianbei, and we will live in the Central Plains from now on, okay?"

Her eyes were full of hope and sadness, and tears kept falling down her cheeks.

The man looked at Tuobayu blankly, opened his mouth, wanted to say something, but didn't know how to speak, with a troubled look on his face.

Seeing that he didn't speak, Tuobayu became even more excited. She grabbed the man's arm and said eagerly: "Speak! Don't you want to be with me?"

Her face was full of anxiety and uneasiness, and there was a trace of despair in her eyes.

Tong Weidong frowned and looked angry.

He scolded Tuobayu loudly: "You are simply a lunatic! I don't know you at all!"

When Tuobayu heard this, tears welled up again. She said stubbornly: "How could you say that to me? How could I admit my mistake?"

Upon seeing this, the shopkeeper hurriedly stepped forward and asked Tuobayu with a puzzled look on his face: "Girl, did you admit the wrong person? What's going on?"

Tuobayu turned his head and looked at the shopkeeper, his eyes full of stubbornness.

She said: “I will never admit my mistake!

Hai Weidong glared at Tuobayu and said angrily: "I really don't know you as a woman, so stop messing around here!"

Tuobayu just stood there crying silently.

Ma Wei said: "You must have recognized the wrong person, don't worry anymore. Maybe they just look alike."

She was crying and shaking her head, refusing to believe it.

Several government officials rushed in, and the leader shouted loudly: "You have committed a crime, and we are ordered to arrest you!"

Everyone present was surprised, and their eyes were all focused on Tong Weidong.

Tuobayu's eyes widened and he said in disbelief: "Impossible! You must have arrested the wrong person!"

Tong Weidong said calmly: "I did kill the prefect's family. I will go with you."

There was an uproar in the inn, people were whispering and talking.

The government officials stepped forward and grabbed Tong Weidong. He did not resist, but calmly allowed them to escort him out.

Tuobayu stood there blankly, tears welling up again.

She looked at Tong Weidong's leaving figure, her heart filled with doubts and pain.

It wasn't until Tong Weidong was taken far away by the government officials that Tuobayu came back to his senses as if he had just woken up from a dream.

Her eyes were full of regret and self-blame, and she murmured to herself: "Why did I become so cowardly today? I should have resisted!"

She suddenly realized that she was fully capable of killing several government officials.

Thinking of this, a trace of determination flashed across her face.

Tuobayu gritted his teeth and quickly chased after him, shouting as he ran: "Wait! You can't take him away!"

Her eyes were burning with anger, her expression was distorted with anger, and beads of sweat appeared on her forehead.

People in the inn looked at her running back in surprise, and they couldn't recover for a while.

But those government officials had already gone away like a gust of wind.

Tuobayu was so anxious that she took big steps and chased forward quickly.

Because she was running too fast, her foot suddenly tripped over something and her body jumped forward.

Her hands were waving wildly in the air, trying to grab something to keep her balance, but in vain.

With a "bang", Tuobayu fell heavily to the ground, raising a cloud of dust. (End of chapter)
