Soon, Boss Liu came to his daughter Liu Xiaohong's room.

Boss Liu walked to the bed and sat down, saying softly: "Xiaohong, Dad will tell you what happened in the restaurant."

Liu Xiaohong nodded slightly and looked at her father.

Boss Liu continued: "Today, someone came to the restaurant and helped deal with the drunk who made trouble. Although this person likes to meddle in other people's business, he is really good..."

Liu Xiaohong frowned, revealing a trace of doubt in her eyes.

"Dad, why do I feel that this young man and the drunk are in the same group? Maybe he deliberately used this method to please us?"

Boss Liu waved his hand quickly and said seriously: "Oh, Xiaohong, you must be overthinking." His face was full of disapproval.

The maid Qing'er also whispered: "Miss, I think what the master said makes sense. You can't just doubt others like this."

Liu Xiaohong was still a little unconvinced, pouting and saying: "Huh, I just think it's a little strange, how can it be so coincidental."

But there was also a hint of hesitation in her eyes, as if she was thinking whether she was really overthinking.

Boss Liu touched Liu Xiaohong's head lovingly and said with a smile: "Okay, don't think so much, the most important thing is to take care of your body first."

Liu Xiaohong nodded and said nothing more.

That day, Tuoba Yu walked into Xiyu's room slowly with a light step.

With a solemn look on her face, she said as soon as she entered the door: "Prime Minister, I thought of something and I must tell you."

Xiyu raised his eyebrows slightly, looked at Tuoba Yu with some doubts, and waited for her next words.

Tuoba Yu took a deep breath, looked into Xi Yu's eyes, and said seriously: "Because I will soon become your woman, I must give you full sincerity."

Xi Yu looked at Tuoba Yu's serious face and couldn't help asking curiously: "What's the matter?"

Tuoba Yu bit his lip and said in a low voice: "Xi Yu, we Xianbei have treasures."

Xi Yu's eyes widened and he was full of surprise.

"Treasure?"

Tuoba Yu nodded and continued: "But I really don't know where it is. This was snatched from the Central Plains by one of our Xianbei leaders hundreds of years ago, just in case of emergency.

Xi Yu frowned, thought for a moment and said: "Your brother Tuoba Lu must know?"

Tuoba Yu's eyes flashed with a trace of ruthlessness, and he gritted his teeth and said: "Humph, he is the future leader, and he must know these secrets. Why don't you eliminate Tuoba Lu and then take the treasure. "

Her expression was somewhat ferocious.

Xiyu's face showed a complicated look. He looked at Tuoba Yu quietly, as if thinking about the feasibility of her words.

Xiyu narrowed his eyes slightly, touched his chin with his hand, and said after thinking for a while: "Well, this matter... can be considered."

He had a thoughtful look on his face.

When Tuoba Yu heard it, a trace of joy flashed in his eyes, and he hurriedly said: "That's good, that's good."

Her expression was a little anxious, as if she couldn't wait to see Tuoba Lu in trouble.

Then, Tuoba Yu relaxed as if he had accomplished a big thing, and said to Xiyu: "Then I'll go first." After that, he turned around and prepared to leave.

Xiyu looked at Tuoba Yu's back, sighed in his heart, and whispered softly: "Tuoba Yu, Tuoba Yu, your hatred for your brother is really too strong. "

His eyes revealed a complex emotion, with helplessness and a trace of pity.

Jin Gushun rode his horse, exhausted all the way, and finally stepped into the territory of Youzhou.

He pulled the reins at the crossing, looking a little tired but with a hint of eagerness, he told the soldier his identity and the purpose of coming here.

The soldier looked him up and down, and seeing that he didn't look like a liar, he waved his hand and said, "Go in."

Jin Gushun hurriedly shook the reins and galloped towards the Prime Minister's Mansion.

When he arrived at the Prime Minister's Mansion, he turned over and got off the horse, and the guards at the door immediately went in to report.

At this time, Xi Yu was in the mansion. When he heard the guards report that the Xianbei had come, he frowned and thought to himself: "Could it be Tuoba Lu who came to explain the situation?"

He said with a serious look: "Let him in."

Not long after, Jin Gushun strode in. Xi Yu saw that he was a stranger. He immediately showed a look of surprise and confusion on his face, and blurted out: "Why is it a stranger? "

He frowned, staring at Jin Gushun, as if he wanted to see something from him.

Jin Gushun quickly saluted Xiyu, his movements were quick and neat.

Xiyu frowned and asked, "Why didn't Tuoba Lu come?" There was a hint of dissatisfaction and doubt in his tone.

Jin Gushun raised his head and looked at Xiyu, with a look of worry on his face, and replied, "There was a coup in Xianbei, Tuoba Tianlong was restored, and Tuoba Lu has been detained."

Jin Gushun began to describe in detail a series of recent events.

Xiyu listened carefully, frowning from time to time, thinking secretly in his heart.

Xiyu suddenly remembered the news reported by the soldiers who came back earlier, and it seemed that something did happen in Xianbei.

He nodded in sudden enlightenment, that's it.

After Jin Gushun finished speaking, Xiyu looked at him and asked in confusion, "Did Tuoba Tianlong say that he didn't care about Tuoba Lu's affairs, so you came to tell me these things?"

His eyes were full of suspicion and inquiry.

Jin Gushun suddenly fell to his knees on the ground with a plop, crying bitterly.

Xi Yu was startled by his actions, frowned and asked, "Why are you doing this? Why are you so rude?"

Jin Gushun raised his head, looked at Xi Yu with tears on his face, and said in a trembling voice: "Sir, I... I met an old man when I passed by a place to stay. He... He told me that my life experience is actually in the Central Plains. people."

After hearing this, Xi Yu had a surprised expression on his face. He looked at Jin Gushun and asked, "What did you say? Are you from the Central Plains? Then why are you in Xianbei?"

Jin Gushun wiped his tears and said sadly and angrily: "I don't know why this happened. I was raised by the Xianbei people since I was a child, and I know nothing about my life experience. The old man said that I was robbed by the Xianbei people. "

Xi Yu was silent for a moment, and then said slowly: "Do you want me to help you kill Xianbei?"

Jin Gushun nodded, his eyes full of expectation and hatred, and said: "Yes, sir. I hope you can help me and avenge my parents. If I hadn't been robbed, my parents would not have died of depression. "

Xi Yu looked at Jin Gushun and thought to himself. He knew that destroying Xianbei was not an easy task and required a huge price.

However, Jin Gushun's experience also made him feel sympathy.

Xi Yu took a deep breath and said, "Okay, I will consider your request. However, you must also understand that this is a very dangerous matter and requires long-term consideration."

After hearing this, Jin Gushun showed a grateful expression on his face. He saluted Xi Yu again and said, "Thank you, sir. Thank you, sir."

Xi Yu waved his hand and said, "Get up. Go down and rest first. I will inform you after I have figured out the specific plan."

Xi Yu sat in front of the desk, tapping his fingers lightly on the table, lost in thought. There was a hint of shrewdness and thinking in his eyes, and he was secretly analyzing Tuoba Tianlong's intentions.

After a while, Xi Yu stood up and paced back and forth in the room, the thoughts in his mind becoming clearer.

He decided to send someone to call Zhao Yun to discuss how to deal with Xianbei's affairs.

Xi Yu stopped and said to the guard at the door: "Go and call Zhao Yun." The guard took the order and turned to leave.

Xi Yu sat back at the desk again and continued to think.

He knew in his heart that Tuoba Tianlong did not kill Tuoba Lu because of the treasure.

He needs Tuoba Lu to reveal the whereabouts of the treasure.

Soon, Zhao Yun came to the room. As soon as he entered the door, he saw Xi Yu sitting at the desk with a serious face, and he couldn't help but feel a little confused.

Zhao Yun cupped his fists and saluted, and asked: "Prime Minister, what do you want from me?"

Xi Yu told Zhao Yun the current situation of Xianbei in detail with a solemn expression, especially emphasizing the murder of Xiaocui's father.

He clenched his fists and said firmly.

"Xiao Cui's father's blood debt must not be let go just like this."

After hearing this, Zhao Yun frowned, thought for a moment and said: "Prime Minister, the strength of the Central Plains is indeed strong now. It is not difficult to destroy Xianbei. But we do not want to rashly launch a war to avoid the loss of life."

Xi Yu looked at Zhao Yun, a hint of appreciation flashing in his eyes.

"In your opinion, what should we do?"

Zhao Yun muttered: "My subordinates believe that we can first use diplomatic means to put pressure on Xianbei, asking them to hand over the murderer and give us a satisfactory explanation. At the same time, we can also strengthen the border defense to prevent Xianbei's counterattack. "

Xi Yu nodded and said, "Well, your suggestion is good. We can resolve the matter through diplomatic channels first. If Xianbei refuses to cooperate, we will take other measures."

After a while, Xi Yu winked at the soldier beside him. The soldier understood, turned around and left to look for Jin Gushun in the guest room.

After a while, Jin Gushun followed the soldiers and came to Xi Yu.

Xi Yu sat in the upper seat, looked at Jin Gushun expressionlessly, and said slowly: "Jin Gushun, go back and tell Tuoba Tianlong that Tuoba Lu killed someone and must accept legal sanctions. Let him kill people. Send it to me so that everyone can be in peace. Otherwise, don't blame me for being rude and fight against each other!"

After hearing Xi Yu's words, Jin Gushun showed a look of eagerness on his face.

He took a step forward and said: "Sir, in my opinion, you should just destroy Xianbei! Your strength is so strong, isn't it easy to deal with Xianbei?"

Xi Yu sat on the chair and leaned back slightly. He looked at Jin Gushun with a trace of imperceptible disappointment in his eyes.

"Kim Gushun, I will not start a war easily. War will only bring pain and loss. I hope that the problem can be solved through peaceful means."

After hearing Xi Yu's words, Jin Gushun had a look of disappointment on his face.

Said: "Sir, you are too kind. The Xianbei people... I have sworn hatred with them. If you don't help me take revenge, I will go myself."

Xi Yu looked at Jin Gushun's excited look and said, "Calm down. I understand your feelings, but we can't be blinded by hatred. We need to think long term and find a better solution."

After listening to Xi Yu's words, Jin Gushun's mood gradually stabilized.

He quickly lowered his head and said respectfully: "Yes, sir. I will definitely bring the words to you."

Xi Yu nodded and waved his hand, indicating that Jin Gushun could leave.

Jin Gushun did not dare to say anything, turned around and exited the room.

Xiyu looked at Jin Gushun's departing back, thinking about his next plan in his heart.

He knew that the war with Xianbei was inevitable, it was just a matter of time.

He had to be fully prepared to deal with the challenge of Xianbei.

Jin Gushun left the room with a heavy heart. He walked in the yard, and Xiyu's words echoed in his mind. Suddenly, he saw Tuoba Yu in front of him, and was startled and saluted quickly.

Tuoba Yu recognized Jin Gushun, frowned, and asked: "Why are you here? What are you doing?"

Jin Gushun was silent, he lowered his head, ignored Tuoba Yu's question, and walked around her and continued to move forward.

Tuoba Yu was irritated by Jin Gushun's attitude, she raised her voice and said: "Jin Gushun, stop! I'm asking you a question!"

Jin Gushun's face was livid, and he left without saying a word.

Tuoba Yu was so angry that her face turned red. She stomped her feet and turned to find Xiyu.

"Prime Minister!" Tuoba Yu shouted as he walked, "What is that Jin Gushun doing here? How dare he be rude to me!"

Xiyu heard Tuoba Yu's voice and walked out of the study. Seeing Tuoba Yu's angry face, he couldn't help but frowned.

"What's wrong? What happened?" Xiyu asked.

Tuoba Yu angrily told what happened just now, and then asked: "Do you think he is too much?"

Xiyu smiled slightly and said: "Okay, don't be angry. He hates Xianbei people now. He came for your brother's matter."

Tuoba Yu listened, with a look of surprise on his face, and asked: "My brother? What's wrong with him?"

Xiyu briefly talked about the current situation of Xianbei, including the fact that Tuoba Lu was locked up.

Tuoba Yu listened, with a gloating smile on his face.

"It's what he deserves! He should have been punished long ago! However, according to bloodline, Tuoba Tianlong should be the leader."

Xiyu nodded and said, "Yes, but the most important thing now is how to solve your brother's problem."

Tuoba Yu thought about it and said, "Why not take the opportunity to send troops and destroy the Xianbei in one fell swoop!"

Xiyu shook his head and said, "No, this will cause unnecessary war and will not benefit us."

Xiyu looked at Tuoba Yu and said seriously, "I plan to let Jin Gushun send a message to Tuoba Tianlong and ask him to hand over Tuoba Lu. Tuoba Lu must be punished for his actions. Are you happy?"

Tuoba Yu lowered his head slightly and said softly, "Of course, I oppose your words. Moreover, I have no sympathy for Tuoba Lu. He deserves it."

Xiyu nodded and continued, "I am very relieved that you think so. Tuoba Lu's behavior is indeed abominable. We can't let him escape punishment."

On the other side, Gan Mei took a broom and cleaned the yard carefully.

She has already started to accept the punishment.

Several servants came over and said to her: "Madam, you just pretend to do it, let us do the rough work."

Gan Mei stopped what she was doing, looked at the servants, frowned, and said: "I am the Madam, and I must lead by example. If you make a mistake, you should take responsibility, otherwise how can you convince others? If you cheat and the Prime Minister finds out, the punishment may be even heavier."

The servants listened and showed a trace of admiration on their faces. One of them said: "Madam is right, we should learn from you."

Gan Mei smiled and said: "Everyone is for the good of this family. As long as we work together, we will be able to keep the house in order."

After that, Gan Mei continued to clean.

The servants also picked up the broom and worked with Gan Mei.

The other servants who watched all this on the side respected Gan Mei even more.

Later, they all said, "The eldest lady is a good role model. We should learn from her in the future."

"Yes, the eldest lady is not only beautiful, but also kind-hearted."

"We have to work harder in the future and not let the eldest lady down."

This matter soon reached Xiyu's ears. After listening to it, Xiyu praised Gan Mei's actions. He felt that Gan Mei's behavior was very gratifying.

Tuoba Yu came to find Xiyu.

Xiyu said, "Have you heard about Gan Mei's matter?"

The guard nodded and replied, "I heard it, sir.

Tuoba Yu nodded.

Tuoba Yu looked at Xiyu helplessly, with a hint of pleading in his eyes, and said softly, "Why not let Gan Mei go? I have forgiven her myself."

Xiyu frowned, his face full of seriousness and determination. He stared at Tuoba Yu sharply, and said righteously, "There is no order without rules. Since things have developed to this point, they must be punished according to the rules, and there can be no leniency! "

After a while, Ouyang Linlin came hurriedly with light steps.

When Tuoba Yu saw Ouyang Linlin coming, he knew that they must have something important to talk about, so he nodded slightly at Ouyang Linlin, then turned around and left silently.

Ouyang Linlin looked at Tuoba Yu's back as he left, and after he walked away, she turned to look at Xiyu and asked with concern: "Did they go to the restaurant?"

Xiyu nodded and told you everything that happened in the restaurant.

Xi Yu raised his head slightly, looked at the sky, with a faint smile on his lips, and said with emotion: "God has arranged it very well."

Ouyang Linlin frowned, her eyes full of worry, she said anxiously: "But, have you ever thought about whether it will backfire and make the Liu family think that you two are in the same group with those drunkards?"

When she said this, her eyes were fixed on Xi Yu, her expression was very serious. (End of this chapter)
