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

Guan Yu searched for a long time, wondering whether he should go back or not.

Suddenly I saw Tuobayu running in a hurry.

A trace of surprise flashed in his eyes, and before he could speak, he saw Tuobayu already standing in front of him. The two looked at each other, and they were both stunned.

Guan Yu frowned slightly and secretly breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that he could finally explain to Xi Yu now.

Tuobayu's face was full of joy.

She looked at Guan Yu eagerly and said, "Mr. Guan, I need your help with something! As long as you promise to help me rescue the man I love, I promise not to pester Xi Yu again!"

Her eyes were full of expectation, and her hands were clasped together, looking a little nervous.

Guan Yu looked at Tuobayu, pondered for a moment, and said, "Oh? How do you want me to help you?"

His expression was a little confused, but also tinged with curiosity.

Tuobayu said quickly: "I know this is a bit difficult for you, but I really have no choice. As long as you can work with me to find a way to rescue him, I will definitely do what I say!" Her eyes were full of sincerity, and her eyes were full of sincerity. Staring at Guan Yu closely, fearing that he would refuse.

Guan Yu said: "Who to save? You have to tell me the specific situation first."

His eyes became serious, as if he was seriously thinking about the feasibility of this matter.

When Tuobayu heard this, an expression of relief suddenly appeared on her face, and she quickly told Guan Yu the whole story in detail.

Guan Yu frowned and said slowly: "Tuobayu, since your beloved man has violated the national law, this makes me very embarrassed."

Tuobayu argued eagerly: "Guan Yu, you are someone close to the Prime Minister. Isn't it easy for you to do this?"

Guan Yu shook his head slightly and said firmly: "I cannot use my power to oppress others. This is against morality."

After Tuobayu heard this, her eyes widened with anger and she said angrily: "Guan Yu, haven't you already promised me? How could you go back on your promise?" Her face was full of anger and her chest was heaving violently.

Guan Yu looked at Tuobayu's angry look and said helplessly: "Tuobayu, I understand your mood, but this matter is not as simple as you think... You should go back to find the prime minister."

Tuobayu bit his lip, nodded, and said, "Okay."

They came to the inn together.

When Xi Yu saw them, his face was full of surprise and he was very happy.

However, he suddenly noticed that Tuobayu's face was ugly and his expression was a little strange.

Xi Yu asked in confusion: "Tuobayu, what's wrong with you? What happened?"

Tuobayu gritted his teeth and looked pale.

She knelt down slowly, with a trace of sadness in her eyes, and said, "Prime Minister, I have something to tell you..."

Her voice was trembling, and tears welled up in her eyes.

Seeing this, Xi Yu quickly stepped forward to help Tuobayu up, his face full of concern and anxiety.

He looked at Tuobayu nervously, waiting for her next words.

Tuobayu gently broke away from Xi Yu's hand, still kneeling, lowered his head, and said with a hint of crying in his voice: "Prime Minister, I originally wanted Guan Yu to help me rescue my beloved, but he said it was against the law. , he can’t help me.”

Guan Yu frowned slightly, with a hint of helplessness on his face, and said: "Prime Minister, this matter is indeed a bit difficult. The national law cannot be violated."

Xi Yu was silent for a moment, then sighed softly, bent down to help Tuobayu up, and said gently: "Tuobayu, don't be too sad, maybe this is fate."

Tuobayu couldn't stop her tears from flowing down. Her eyes were full of pain and despair.

Xi Yu comforted him: "Yu'er, maybe we should try to accept all this."

Tuobayu raised his head, looked at Xi Yu with tearful eyes, and said, "Prime Minister, I am really unwilling to give up. I really don't want to give up like this."

Guan Yu stood aside, looking at the scene in front of him, feeling a little uncomfortable in his heart.

Xi Yu frowned slightly, looked at Guan Yu and said, "Guan Yu, go to the nearby prefect and ask what's going on."

Guan Yu nodded and said, "Okay."

When Tuobayu heard this, a surprise expression appeared on her face. She looked at Xi Yu expectantly and said, "Prime Minister, are you really willing to help me?"

Xi Yu sighed softly and said: "If that man really broke the national law, I will naturally not intervene. But if he is wronged, I will naturally seek justice."

Tuobayu was so excited that tears flowed out again.

She nodded repeatedly and said, "Thank you, Prime Minister!" Her face was full of gratitude.

On the other side, Tuoba Lu and others finally arrived at the border crossing of Youzhou.

However, he was stopped by soldiers and not allowed to enter.

Tuoba Lu's eyes widened in anger, and he said angrily: "I have never been blocked all the way into the Central Plains, why can't I do it here?"

The soldier explained the border crossing system in detail without expression.

When Tuoba Lu heard this, he became even more angry. He said loudly: "We are dedicating the rebels to Prime Minister Xi Yu!"

The soldier remained unmoved and said coldly: "That's not possible, and the Prime Minister is not in Youzhou either."

His eyes were firm and he showed no intention of giving in.

Tuoba Lu stood at the border crossing and sighed helplessly. He could only turn around and walk towards the nearby inn with everyone.

In the inn, the waiter was very busy. When he saw Tuoba Lu and his party arriving, he suddenly beamed, and the smile on his face almost turned into a flower.

He was still muttering: "Oh my, it's so lively to have so many guests here all at once!" As he spoke, he greeted them diligently.

In a corner of the inn, Tian Chong was sitting at the table, drinking tea boredly.

Suddenly, he saw Tuoba Lu's figure, his eyes suddenly lit up, and there was a look of surprise on his face.

He quickly stood up, walked quickly towards Tuoba Road, and said excitedly: "Chief, you are here! I have been waiting for you for a long time!"

As he spoke, he enthusiastically invited Tuoba Lu into his room.

Tian Chong led Tuoba Lu into the house. After the two of them sat down, Tian Chong said with a sad face: "Chief, you don't know, I also encountered a lot of difficulties here."

When Tuoba Lu heard this, he frowned even more and complained: "I didn't expect that Youzhou still has such a harsh system. I came all the way smoothly, but I was blocked here."

Tian Chong sighed and said helplessly: "Yes, now we have no other choice but to wait. We don't know how long we will have to wait."

Tuoba Lu scratched his hair irritably and said, "Oh, this is the only way. I hope things will turn around soon."

Then, he told Tian Chong about "Liu Maohai".

Tian Chong said: "Lu Zhe's idea is great. Maybe we in Xianbei have hope."

At this moment, a travel-worn messenger came to Youzhou. He was wearing simple clothes and had an anxious look on his face.

The envoy came to the border crossing, bowed his hands to the soldiers and said, "I am the envoy of Lord Liu Bei. I have an important letter to deliver to the person in charge of Youzhou!"

The soldiers looked at the messenger expressionlessly.

One of the soldiers took a step forward and said seriously: "No traffic is allowed here, leave the letter, and leave quickly!"

The messenger looked embarrassed and said unwillingly: "Please be accommodating, this letter is very urgent!"

The soldiers were unmoved and still insisted on letting the envoy leave. Their eyes were cold and firm.

The messenger sighed helplessly and had no choice but to hand the letter to the soldier, then turned and left, his back looking a little lonely.

It was late at night, and the moonlight shone like water in Xi Yu's room.

Tuobayu sat next to Xi Yu, tears flowing uncontrollably, and her voice was filled with deep sorrow and sorrow.

"Prime Minister... Hailan and I really love each other..." Tuoba Yu said in tears, "We spent so many wonderful times together on the grassland, but my brother Tuoba Lu, just because Hailan is Han people, he is determined not to let us interact..."

Tuobayu raised his head and looked at Xi Yu with tearful eyes.

Her face was full of pain and helplessness.

"I really love Hailan so much, I can't live without him..."

Xi Yu said gently: "Don't be too sad, I can understand how you feel."

But Xi Yu felt a little unhappy, he was always a little jealous.

He suddenly found that he already liked each other.

"I'm really sad..." Tuoba Yu continued to cry, "My brother Tuoba Lu, why can't he understand me..."

After a while, there was a slight sound of footsteps outside the door, and then Guan Yu walked in.

Tuobayu asked eagerly: "Guan Yu, how is it? What is the situation?"

Guan Yu frowned slightly and said: "The arrested man called himself Tong Weidong, and he was not Hailan. He accidentally injured the servant of the prefect's family. The prefect had ordered him to be whipped a hundred lashes and to be jailed for a month. "

After Tuoba Yu heard this, he felt as if he had been struck by lightning.

Despair and disbelief suddenly surged in her heart.

"No, it's impossible! That person is Hailan! How could he be Tong Weidong? There must be a mistake!"

Her voice was frantic, and her eyes became a little crazy.

Xiyu tried to calm her down.

"Don't get excited first, maybe there is some misunderstanding..."

Tuobayu suddenly shook off Xi Yu's hand.

"No! I don't believe it! I have to save him! I must go to save him!"

Her heart was filled with pain and anxiety, and her whole body seemed to be in a state of madness.

Guan Yu looked at Tuobayu's appearance and sighed helplessly.

"Tuobayu, please calm down first, and we will think of a solution..."

Xi Yu looked at the crazy-looking Tuobayu, his voice full of anxiety and helplessness.

"You can't solve the problem even if you are so impulsive!"

Tuobayu couldn't listen at all.

She kept struggling and crying: "I want to save Hailan! I want to save him!"

Xi Yu looked at Guan Yu helplessly and said, "Guan Yu, knock her out, something will happen to her if this continues."

Guan Yu couldn't bear it, but he still obeyed Xi Yu's order.

He stepped forward and felt sad when he saw Tuobayu's crazy look.

He gritted his teeth, raised his hand, and hit Tuobayu on the back of the neck.

Tuobayu lost consciousness instantly and collapsed in Xi Yu's arms.

Xi Yu held the unconscious Tuobayu in his arms, his eyes full of love and worry.

He said softly: "You should take a good rest first..."

Xi Yu gently stroked Tuobayu's hair, a trace of thought flashed in his eyes.

He slowly said to Guan Yu: "Guan Yu, I have a guess. The captured Tong Weidong and Hailan are most likely twins."

Guan Yu's eyes widened with an expression of extreme surprise. He opened his mouth, and after a while he said: "Sir, when you say this, it seems that this is really possible."

Xi Yu nodded slightly and said, "Well, I'm just guessing. You can go back and rest first. We will discuss this matter in detail tomorrow."

Guan Yu nodded, looking at the unconscious Tuobayu in Xi Yu's arms, his heart full of worry.

He turned around and left, his steps a little heavy.

Xi Yu looked at Guan Yu's leaving figure, then looked down at Tuobayu, and sighed softly.

The next day, a ray of sunlight shined on Tuobayu's face through the window lattice. She suddenly woke up from her sleep, her forehead covered with fine beads of sweat.

She was breathing heavily, and her eyes were full of fear. It turned out that she was disturbed by a nightmare.

In her dream, she saw Hailan being mercilessly thrown off a cliff, and eventually died tragically at the bottom of the cliff.

At this time, Xi Yu noticed Tuobayu's movement and came to her bed.

He gently held Tuobayu's hand and said softly: "Yu'er, wake up. You were too excited yesterday, so I had to knock you out."

Tuobayu's eyes were still a little confused. She looked at Xi Yu, tears welling up in her eyes, and said with a hoarse voice: "I dreamed about Hailan again, he... he seemed to be getting farther and farther away from me. "

Xi Yu slowly explained his analysis about the twins.

"Yu'er, I think that Tong Weidong and Hailan are probably twins. Don't be too persistent, maybe you really have the wrong person."

Tuobayu's eyes gradually regained their composure.

"But I still want to see Tong Weidong. I want to find out what is going on."

Xi Yu looked at Tuobayu, nodded slightly and said, "Okay, then I'll go with you."

Tuobayu raised his head and looked at Xi Yu, his eyes full of gratitude: "Thank you, Prime Minister."

The two people came to the prefect's house, and Xi Yu showed his token directly to the soldiers with a calm expression. When the soldiers saw this, they immediately became nervous and hurried to report the news.

After a while, the prefect came in a hurry.

I saw that the prefect was of medium height, slightly stout, and had a carefully trimmed beard. Although he had a respectful look on his face, he still couldn't hide his shrewd and cunning eyes.

He has a broad forehead and wears gorgeous official uniforms with exquisite embroidery patterns, which highlight his identity and status.

The eunuch bowed slightly, saluted Xi Yu and said, "I didn't know you were coming, so I missed you from afar. I hope you'll forgive me." Xi Yu waved his hand and said, "No need to be polite, I'm just passing by here."

The prefect straightened up, with a smile on his face, and said: "Please come in, sir. Please come in quickly."

While making the "please" gesture, he secretly looked at Tuobayu, secretly guessing her identity.

Entering the room, Xi Yu sat down generously, then turned to look at Tuobayu, and said gently: "Tell me the purpose of our coming here."

Tuobayu nodded slightly, took a step forward, looked at the prefect with firm eyes and said: "Your Excellency, we are here this time for the sake of Tong Weidong who is imprisoned. I want to know his situation."

When he said this, Tuobayu's face was full of eagerness, and his brows were slightly wrinkled, showing a worried look.

When the prefect heard what Tuobayu said, he had a surprised look on his face, frowned, and asked in confusion: "Tong Weidong? What is his relationship with you, girl?"

Tuobayu pursed his lips and said solemnly: "He has a close relationship with me."

When the prefect heard this, he immediately became nervous, his face became a little pale, and beads of sweat appeared on his forehead.

Seeing this, Xi Yu waved his hand and said comfortingly: "Prefect, don't be nervous. This matter has nothing to do with the case. We just want to see Tong Weidong now."

The prefect felt relieved and breathed a long sigh of relief and said, "Okay, okay, then I will take you to the prison."

With that said, the eunuch personally led the way, leading Xi Yu and Tuobayu towards the prison. His steps were a little hurried, and there was a hint of uneasiness in his eyes.

The prefect led them to the prison. Xi Yu waved his hand and said to the prefect, "You go down first."

The prefect nodded, turned and left, his steps a little heavy.

When Tong Weidong saw Xi Yu and Tuo Bayu arriving, he had a puzzled look on his face, frowned, and said in confusion: "Why are you here again?"

Then, when he saw Tuobayu, a hint of joy flashed in his eyes, but it was quickly replaced by boredom.

He said angrily: "Girl, I have already said that I am not the Hailan you are looking for. Why are you still lingering?"

Tuobayu took a step forward, stared at Tong Weidong closely, and asked eagerly: "Then do you have twin brothers or something?"

Tong Weidong replied impatiently: "No! I don't have any twins! You go away quickly and don't pester me again!"

He frowned, his face full of boredom and annoyance.

Tuobayu continued unwillingly: "I don't believe it, think about it again!"

Tong Weidong glared at Tuobayu angrily and shouted, "What do I think? If I say no, I mean no! Let's go!"

Seeing this, Xi Yu stepped forward and grabbed Tuobayu, saying softly: "Let's go first, don't force him."

Tuobayu turned around unwillingly and followed Xi Yu out of the prison.

Although Tuobayu still had many doubts in her heart, after carefully observing Tong Weidong, she had to admit that the person in front of her was indeed not Hailan.

There was a trace of disappointment and loneliness in her eyes, and she whispered softly: "Is it really not him..."

She felt a bit melancholy, as if she had lost something important.

Suddenly, Tong Weidong shouted: "Wait!"

Tuobayu and Xiyu stopped, turned around in confusion, and returned to the cell.

Xi Yu frowned slightly, looked at Tong Weidong, and asked, "What's the matter with you?"

Tong Weidong's eyes flickered and he seemed a little hesitant, but he finally said: "I...I seem to have remembered something." There was a complicated expression on his face.

Just let Xi Yu tell him.

And Tuobayu also pricked up his ears and listened.

Tong Weidong suddenly sneezed.

Tuobayu was particularly unhappy and actually started sneezing at the critical moment.

Then, Tong Weidong fell into thinking. (End of chapter)
