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

Tuobayu glared at Han Dacheng with both eyes, veins popping out on his face.

She reached out suddenly, grabbed Han Dacheng's collar, and shouted angrily: "You'd better tell me the truth! Otherwise I'll kill you!"

Han Dacheng turned pale with fright, and his body trembled involuntarily.

He stammered: "If...if it is really poisonous, it must have something to do with the chef. I...I really don't know!"

Tuobayu didn't listen to Han Dacheng's explanation at all.

She raised her hand, slapped Han Dacheng hard, and cursed: "You bastard, you still dare to quibble."

Guan Yu folded his arms, frowned, stared at Han Dacheng sharply, and said at the same time: "Tell me the truth quickly!"

After saying that, Guan Yu suddenly glared, his originally maroon face became even more ugly due to anger, revealing an awe-inspiring righteousness.

Under such pressure, Han Dacheng's body began to tremble slightly.

His eyes flickered, and finally he lowered his head and said softly: "Okay, let me be honest... I originally wanted to drug some of you."

Then, he swallowed and continued: "I have long thought that she must be Tuoba Lu's sister. I thought that if I could stun you all, I would be able to make great achievements. But I didn't expect , and was eventually discovered..."

When Tuobayu heard what Han Dacheng said, he became furious.

Her eyes widened and she shouted angrily: "You despicable villain, how dare you do such an insidious thing!"

Her fists were clenched, veins bulging.

Han Dacheng was so frightened that he backed away repeatedly. His face was as pale as paper. She said in a trembling voice: "I... I just want to make a contribution, and I don't want to harm you..."

Guan Yu looked at Han Dacheng coldly from the side. His face was expressionless, but a trace of contempt flashed in his eyes.

Tuobayu's anger erupted like a volcano, and she launched a fierce attack on Han Dacheng without mercy.

Her fists fell on Han Dacheng like raindrops, each punch carrying endless anger.

Han Dacheng wailed in pain, his body dodging in all directions, but Tuobayu's attack followed him like a shadow, leaving him nowhere to escape.

Xi Yu was worried that Tuobayu would really beat someone to death, so he quickly shouted: "Stop! You will beat him to death!"

When Tuobayu heard Xi Yu's call, he stopped slightly.

She was breathing heavily, her eyes still full of anger.

Han Dacheng curled up on the ground, groaning and saying weakly: "I...I will never do such a thing again in the future..."

Xi Yu frowned, looked at Tuobayu doubtfully, and asked, "Has your brother ever been to this shop?"

Tuobayu nodded slightly and repeated what Han Dacheng said before.

Then he said to Han Dacheng with an indifferent expression: "Yes, I am Tuoba Lu's sister, but now I am at odds with my brother!"

After Han Dacheng heard Tuobayu's words, he secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

A look of relief flashed across his face, and he murmured softly: "I knew my guess was right..."

However, he soon sighed helplessly, and his originally relaxed expression became heavy again, as if to say: "But it's useless now..."

Tuobayu frowned slightly and said in a somewhat irritable tone: "I'm really not in the mood today, why not change to an inn." There was a hint of exhaustion and displeasure in her eyes.

Xi Yu shook his head slightly, a smile appeared at the corner of his mouth, and comforted: "Why bother being affected by this? Just stay here."

Tuobayu's eyes were indifferent and he asked Han Dacheng calmly: "Is the room ready?"

Han Dacheng didn't dare to neglect and nodded quickly, looking very embarrassed.

He lowered his head and carefully led the way, leading them towards the room.

After entering the room, Xi Yu stood quietly aside, frowning slightly, and began to think in his heart.

He couldn't help but feel a sinking feeling when he thought that Tuoba Lu actually planned to lead the Xianbei people into the Central Plains.

"We absolutely cannot agree with his idea. If we agree, other tribes may have the same idea." Xi Yu thought to himself, "By then, the situation may become uncontrollable, and the Wu Huan Chaos may happen again. If China makes the same mistake, the Central Plains will fall into chaos again."

At this moment, a crisp knock on the door came.

Xi Yu suddenly raised his head, with a trace of doubt in his eyes.

Tuobayu opened the door and walked in, with a serious look on her face.

"Prime Minister, I came to you to discuss an issue. Do you agree with the Xianbei people entering the Central Plains?" Tuobayu's voice was calm.

Xi Yu narrowed his eyes slightly and asked, "What about you? Do you want the Xianbei people to enter the Central Plains, or do you not?"

Tuobayu frowned, with confusion in his eyes, and said softly: "I don't know, I really don't know what to do."

Xi Yu looked at Tuobayu and said in a calm tone: "You'd better think about it carefully."

Tuobayu bit his lip, a trace of struggle flashed in his eyes, and said, "I hope the Xianbei people can enter the Central Plains, but I still hate my brother very much."

There was conflict and pain in her words.

Xi Yu nodded, with a look of understanding on his face, and said softly: "I know you are telling the truth."

But Xi Yu's face straightened and he immediately said: "I can't agree easily, otherwise other tribes will also make the same request, so what should I do?"

A trace of disappointment flashed across Tuobayu's face, but she still nodded and said softly: "I understand your concerns."

Xi Yu waved his hand slightly and said tiredly: "Go back to your room, I'm a little tired."

Fangjun.

Liu Bei's envoy returned in a hurry and reported: "My lord, the letter has been sent to the border crossing, but the prime minister is not in Youzhou." Liu Bei frowned slightly, waved the envoy to leave, and fell into deep thought.

"If Xiyu receives the letter, what will he think about?" Liu Bei murmured to himself, with a hint of confusion in his eyes.

"Will he believe me?" He couldn't help but ask himself, and his brows furrowed even more.

Liu Bei thought about it over and over again, and the worries in his heart became heavier and heavier, making his already depressed mood even lower.

He was still pretending to be sick a few days ago, trying to avoid something.

However, at this moment, he was really sick. At night, he had a high fever and was mumbling nonsense.

The doctors hurried over and gathered around his bed.

The leading physician frowned and asked softly: "How do you feel?"

The patient's face was pale and his lips were chapped. He shook his head weakly and said in a hoarse voice: "I... feel so uncomfortable..."

Seeing this, several imperial doctors hurriedly began to prepare medicine. They looked solemn and exchanged prescriptions in low voices.

"Add some soothing herbs so that my lord can have a good rest." An imperial physician suggested.

"Well, add some ingredients that can help him sleep, which can also relieve the pain." Another imperial doctor nodded in agreement.

After preparing the medicine, an imperial doctor carefully carried the medicine bowl to Liu Bei's bed and said softly: "My lord, it's time to take the medicine."

Liu Bei opened his eyes with difficulty, looked at the medicine bowl in the doctor's hand, and nodded slightly.

The imperial doctor fed Liu Bei the medicine. After Liu Bei drank it, he soon passed out.

His face was peaceful, as if all the pain had dissipated at this moment.

Xi Zhicai has been staying at the three brothers' home for a few days, and he has gradually adapted to it. At this moment, he seems to be fine.

That night, the three brothers drank and unknowingly drank a little too much.

Their faces turned red and their eyes became blurred.

"You bastard, you've been eating and drinking in our house for free for so many days!" Lao San pointed at Xi Zhicai and cursed.

The second child also echoed: "That's right, why should we support you?"

Xi Zhicai lowered his head and said nothing.

There was a hint of cunning in his eyes, and he was thinking: After they were drunk, maybe he could take this opportunity to escape.

He suppressed the displeasure in his heart and quietly waited for the opportunity.

The three brothers sat around the table, which was filled with wine jars and glasses.

After a while, the boss burped, rubbed his reddish face, and said, "I drank a lot, so let's stop drinking now."

His voice was a little muffled and his eyes were a little hazy.

Xi Zhicai quickly stood up with an attentive smile on his face.

While pouring wine for the three brothers, he said: "It's a nice night today. It's such a good time and beautiful scenery, so let's drink well."

The second child looked at Xi Zhicai drowsily and said with a smile: "Haha, okay, then keep drinking!"

The third child also followed suit: "Yes, drink!"

Their faces were filled with drunkenness and their demeanor was relaxed.

After hearing what Xi Zhicai said, the boss waved his hand boldly and said with a smile: "Here, let's drink this!"

He picked up the wine glass and drank it in one gulp.

After a while, the three of them became even more drunk.

Their eyes became more blurred, and the blush on their faces became more obvious.

The second child's tongue was a little knotted, and he murmured: "This wine... is really good..."

The third child was burping and holding the table unsteadily.

Finally, they couldn't hold it any longer, and they all lay down on the table, unconscious.

Xi Zhicai's eyes glanced at the door from time to time.

His heartbeat accelerated involuntarily, and his breathing became a little rapid.

His eyes flickered, revealing his inner tension and anticipation.

His lips moved slightly, as if silently encouraging himself.

Xi Zhicai walked quietly to the three of them, squatted down, shook their bodies, and asked softly: "Are you still awake?"

Seeing that the three of them didn't respond, Xi Zhi relaxed slightly, with a look of joy on his face.

He stood up and walked toward the door in a hurry.

As he walked, he murmured to himself: "As long as I can get out of here, I have a chance to go home."

Xi Zhi opened the door, looked around warily, then quickly took steps and blended into the night.

Xi Zhicai hurriedly walked out of the village, feeling lucky to have escaped.

Suddenly, the sound of horse hooves came from far and near.

He took a closer look and saw that the person who came was actually the boss. He couldn't help being shocked, his body shook suddenly and he almost fell to the ground.

The boss was riding on the horse, with a sarcastic smile on his lips, looking at Xi Zhicai coldly.

"Haha, do you really think the three of us brothers are drunk? We were just performing a show in front of you!" The boss's voice was full of ridicule.

Xi Zhicai turned pale and looked at the boss in horror.

The boss held a whip in his hand and whipped Xi Zhicai mercilessly.

Each whip was accompanied by a sharp sound of wind, and Xi Zhicai screamed in pain and kept begging for mercy.

"Go back quickly!" the boss said viciously.

Xi Zhicai looked helpless and walked back dejectedly.

He lowered his head and walked heavily, as if he was carrying a heavy burden.

After returning home, the second and third children were sitting on chairs, staring at him sharply.

"How dare you run away!" The second child yelled angrily with eyes wide open.

"That's right, be honest!" Lao San agreed and kicked Xi Zhicai.

Xi Zhicai lowered his head, not daring to look into their eyes, and whispered: "I know..."

The third child said coldly: "Be honest with me from now on and stop thinking about escaping!"

That night, Xi Zhicai was lying on the bed, tossing and turning, thinking about many things.

His brows were furrowed, and his eyes showed confusion and confusion.

"I didn't provoke anyone, so why is there such a disaster? Is it just because I am Xi Yu's brother?"

In the middle of the night, Xi Zhicai still had no sleepiness.

Suddenly, he heard a sound of banging on the door. He was startled, his face turned pale, and his body couldn't help but tremble.

The third child was also awakened, got up quickly, and asked nervously: "Who broke the door?"

There was a hint of panic in his voice.

However, the other party did not respond and still slammed the door violently.

The third child had no choice but to grit his teeth and step forward to open the door.

At this time, several people broke into the yard with wooden sticks. They had a fierce look on their faces, and their eyes were cold and fierce.

When the eldest and second eldest children heard the noise, they immediately woke up, quickly put on their clothes and hurried to the yard.

The leader, Scarface, had a fierce look on his face and asked viciously: "When will you pay off your debts?"

When the boss saw this, he quickly squeezed out a smile and said to Xing Xing, "Give it a few more days, and we will definitely find a way."

Scarface suddenly became angry after hearing this, his eyes widened with anger, and he shouted loudly: "No! I must give an explanation today!"

Seeing this, the boss quickly explained: "We have a baby now, and this baby is Xi Yu's biological brother."

There was a hint of slyness in his tone.

Scarface felt a little strange, frowned, and asked doubtfully: "Is this the treasure you are talking about?"

The boss nodded quickly and belted Scarface and entered.

Xi Zhicai was surrounded by everyone like a pet.

He felt uncomfortable all over, with a look of embarrassment and humiliation on his face.

He lowered his head, his eyes flickering, not daring to look at Scarface and the others, and his hands unconsciously clenched the corners of his clothes.

Scar looked at Xi Zhicai up and down, with a teasing smile on his face, and muttered: "Is this the treasure you are talking about?"

Xi Zhicai was so ashamed when he saw him that he lowered his head, wishing he could find a crack in the ground and crawl into it.

The boss quickly came to Scarface's side and told him the plan in detail.

He was beaming as he spoke, his eyes shining with excitement.

After hearing this, Scarface touched his chin and thought for a moment, then nodded and said, "Well, it makes sense."

When the boss heard this, he finally breathed a sigh of relief, and the nervous look on his face relaxed a lot.

Scarface turned to leave. He stopped and looked back at the boss, with a hint of warning in his eyes.

"Remember, if you dare to deceive me, the consequences will be serious!"

He said viciously, with undoubted authority in his voice.

The boss nodded repeatedly and said with a smile: "Don't worry, we will never dare to deceive you!"

A trace of panic flashed across his face, and there were even a few beads of sweat on his forehead.

Scarface and others finally left, and the courtyard fell into silence.

The three brothers looked at each other and all breathed a sigh of relief.

There was a look of relief on his face.

Xi Zhicai looked at the eldest and second eldest brother angrily and roared: "It turns out that you actually owed foreign debts, so you caught me!"

The boss scratched his head and said helplessly: "We have no choice. We really don't have the money, so we can only do this."

But the boss's face suddenly changed, and he thought to himself: "How can I explain to him so calmly? It's so unnecessary!"

So, his voice rose an octave in vain, and he reprimanded: "Just stay here for me for the next few days, and don't ruin my good deeds!"

His eyes were stern, revealing a trace of anger.

Xi Zhicai was startled by this sudden reprimand.

On the other side, Xi Yu was tossing and turning on the inn bed, unable to sleep.

His heart was restless, and he always felt that there was an ominous premonition hanging over him.

"Why do your eyelids jump so much?" He muttered to himself, feeling a sense of fear in his heart.

He began to think wildly.

"Could something happen to my ladies? Will they be in danger at home?"

Thinking of this, he became more and more nervous.

"Or his son? Will he encounter any trouble?" Xi Yu's brows furrowed tightly, and the worry in his heart surged into his heart like a tide.

His heart beat faster and faster, as if it was about to jump out of his throat.

He tried to calm himself down, but the uneasy feeling lingered in his mind and refused to go away.

He became more and more anxious and wished he could immediately put on his wings and fly home.

"It's so annoying! There were no telephones in ancient times. If there was any news, I would know it in time!" He complained angrily in his heart.

After a while, his thoughts gradually calmed down and he began to think carefully.

"Speaking of which, I haven't paid attention to my brother's news for a long time... Could it be that this eyelid twitching is a hint that something happened to my brother?"

His heart couldn't help but tighten, and an inexplicable worry surged into his heart.

He was lying on the bed, his brows furrowed and his eyes staring at the ceiling, his eyes full of anxiety.

"Anyway, this feeling is extremely strong tonight." He murmured to himself, with a hint of helplessness in his voice.

As time passed, his face became more and more haggard, and his eyes gradually became tired.

It wasn't until dawn that his eyes slowly closed, and the expression on his face finally relaxed, as if he had finally gotten rid of that uneasy feeling. (End of chapter)
