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

The little soldier leaned close to Tuoba Tianlong's ear and whispered, "Chief, I have a plan. We can force Shidi to drink. When he gets drunk, he might tell the truth." There was a hint of cleverness in his eyes.

Tuoba Tianlong frowned after hearing this. After thinking for a moment, he smiled and said, "Well, this plan is great!" There was a hint of excitement in his voice.

So Tuoba Tianlong immediately gave orders to prepare wine.

That day, Xi Yu led everyone to finally arrive at Fang County. He stood at the gate of the city, staring at this familiar yet unfamiliar city, and the scene of conquering Fang Kingdom emerged in his mind.

He vaguely remembered that he had stood here at that time, overlooking this land.

But now, when he revisited the old place, he felt as if he were in another world.

Especially when he thought that the well water here had been poisoned, he was even more moved.

As soon as Xiyu arrived at the city gate, the soldiers guarding the gate recognized him. They immediately knelt on their knees and saluted respectfully.

Xiyu smiled slightly, waved his hand, and said, "No need to be polite, I'm just taking a look." His voice was calm and gentle.

Then, Xiyu walked into Fangjun.

When Xiyu arrived at the palace of Fangjun, Liu Bei was concentrating on writing in the study.

Hearing the guards report the arrival of Xiyu, Liu Bei's pen in his hand trembled. He raised his head, with a very surprised expression on his face, and said to himself: "Prime Minister? Why is he here?"

Then, Liu Bei quickly put down his pen and hurried out to greet him.

Liu Bei stepped forward quickly, saluted, and said excitedly: "Prime Minister, I didn't expect you to come here. I am really surprised and happy!" There was a light of surprise in his eyes.

Xiyu smiled and said, "I came here just to see the changes in Fangjun." His tone was relaxed.

Xi Yu continued, "We are indeed going to go out of town this time, but before that, I have to praise you, Liu Bei. You have done a great job in dealing with the opium issue." His eyes showed admiration.

Liu Bei was delighted when he heard this, but then he smiled modestly and said, "No, no, this is all due to the Prime Minister's good leadership. I am just following your instructions." His tone was sincere.

Xi Yu waved his hand and smiled, "You don't have to be too modest. This is your credit, and I see it all."

Liu Bei smiled and said enthusiastically, "Since the Prime Minister has arrived, let's stay in the palace tonight, so that I can do my best to be a good host." His eyes were full of sincere invitations.

Xi Yu smiled and agreed, "Then it's better to obey than to be respectful."

Xianbei and Shidi were forced to drink wine by the officers and soldiers. Shidi's face showed a painful expression, but his eyes were firm, and he secretly told himself in his heart: "Never tell the truth, never betray Hong Gang!"

At this moment, Shidi suddenly made an amazing move. He bit off his tongue with force, and blood gushed out of his mouth.

The officers and soldiers who were feeding wine were stunned. They looked at this scene in horror, their faces pale, and stammered: "General... General, Shidi chewed his tongue and committed suicide!" Their voices trembled, full of fear and shock.

When Tuoba Tianlong heard the news, he was suddenly startled. He widened his eyes, with an unbelievable expression on his face, and muttered to himself: "How could this be? What is going on?" His voice was full of confusion and puzzlement.

Tuoba Tianlong sighed helplessly, thinking secretly in his heart how to deal with this tricky matter. There was a trace of fatigue and helplessness in his eyes.

At this moment, a heart-wrenching cry came from a distance.

Tuoba Tianlong turned his head and saw Haishe crying heartbrokenly, his face full of tears, and his body trembling constantly because of excessive sadness.

Haishe cried and murmured to himself: "How could this happen? How could this happen..." His voice was full of despair and pain.

Tuoba Tianlong looked at Haishe and couldn't help but feel a little pity in his heart, but he was helpless and could only pat Haishe's shoulder gently and comforted: "My condolences..."

At this moment, Hong Gang hurried in.

There was a hint of tension and expectation on his face. When he learned that Shi Didu had not revealed him, he was relieved and his face showed an ecstatic expression.

"It's not a pity for a person like him to die, and you don't have to be too sad, leader." There was a hint of luck and indifference in his voice.

Tuoba Tianlong frowned slightly after hearing Hong Gang's words, and a hint of dissatisfaction flashed in his eyes.

He looked at Hong Gang seriously and said, "Although Shi Di made a mistake, he is not worth dying for. We cannot judge a person's life or death so easily." There was a sense of majesty in his voice.

Hong Gang nodded quickly and said with a smile, "General, you are right. I didn't think it through." There was a flattering smile on his face.

Hai She was still crying, tears flowing.

Seeing this, Hong Gang walked forward and comforted him softly, "Brother Hai She, don't be sad anymore." There was a hint of helplessness in his tone.

Hai She raised his head, looked at Hong Gang with tears in his eyes, and choked up and said, "But... he is my man after all..." His voice was full of pain and reluctance.

Hong Gang sighed and said, "I know you feel bad, but it has happened and we can't change it. We still have to look forward and live well." A trace of sympathy flashed in his eyes.

Hai She turned around helplessly and slowly returned to the tent. Her steps seemed a little heavy, as if she was carrying a heavy burden.

As soon as she entered the tent, she could no longer suppress her inner grief and continued to cry loudly.

Her cry was miserable and sad, which moved people.

After a while, a maid came over gently. With a trace of doubt and worry on her face, she whispered, "Madam, Shi Didu's death was very strange. There must be a black hand behind him. So he would rather die than tell the truth." Her tone was full of certainty.

Hai She raised his head, looked at the maid with tears on his face, and choked up and said, "Of course I know this, but what's the use?"

The maid hesitated for a moment, revealing a trace of worry in her eyes, and said softly, "Madam, I don't know whether I should say something or not, I'm afraid that I will say the wrong thing and cause Madam to blame me." Her tone was a little timid.

Hai She wiped her tears and said firmly, "Just say whatever you want to say, I won't blame you."

The maid calmed down and analyzed, "The mastermind behind this may be Hong Gang." After saying that, she secretly observed Hai She's reaction.

Hai She was shocked when he heard it, and said in disbelief, "Hong Gang is loyal to Tuoba Tianlong, how could he do such a thing?" Her face was full of doubts and confusion.

The maid calmed down a little, and then analyzed, "That's just a superficial phenomenon. In fact, Hong Gang never had any hatred for Tuoba Tianlong before, and he couldn't avenge Tuoba Lu." There was some thought in her voice.

Hai She suddenly remembered after hearing what the maid said.

Yes, Hong Gang was kind to Shi Didu, and it was a great grace. Shi Didu could do such a thing for him.

At this time, a trace of wisdom flashed in the maid's eyes, and she continued: "Madam, think about it, Shi Didu's respect for Hong Gang must have a reason."

Hai She nodded, and the doubts on his face gradually dissipated, replaced by a thoughtful look.

But Hai She quickly raised his hand to signal the maid, lowered his voice and said: "We should know about this matter, and we must not tell it to others, otherwise it may cause trouble. Hong Gang will definitely not admit it."

The maid nodded quickly and responded softly: "I know, I understand this situation." There was a hint of obedience and obedience in her eyes.

Next, Hai She slowly stood up and began to pace in the tent.

Her brows were tightly knitted, and she secretly made up her mind that she would never let her husband die in such an unclear way.

She turned to look at the maid, and said firmly: "Help me think of a way to avenge him."

The maid bowed her head and pondered for a while, then raised her head and said: "Why don't we go to Xiyu, maybe he can help us."

Hai She shook his head after hearing this, and said softly: "This may not be appropriate. Maybe Xiyu has no intention of destroying Xianbei. Besides, how could he change his plan for us?" Her eyes revealed a trace of helplessness and frustration.

But the maid said solemnly: "And Hong Gang is likely to deal with us next, so it's better to make plans as soon as possible." There was a hint of anxiety in her voice.

Hai She nodded slightly and responded softly: "I will think about it carefully."

Night fell, and the lights in Fangjun City were bright. Xiyu and others moved into the palace.

Tuoba Yu stood quietly in front of the window, and he already knew in his heart that Fangjun was actually Fangguo.

Looking at the magnificent palace in front of him, he couldn't help but sigh that a small country like Fang had such a magnificent palace, and where could the Xianbei have one? They were just a nomadic people.

Xiyu noticed that Tuoba Yu looked thoughtful, and asked with concern: "What's wrong with you? Why do you look like this?" Tuoba Yu came back to his senses and told him his true thoughts in detail.

Xiyu frowned slightly after listening to Tuoba Yu's words. After thinking for a moment, he said: "Although the Fang country is small, its palace is indeed magnificent. However, you Xianbei also have your own advantages."

Tuoba Yu turned his head to look at Xiyu and asked: "Oh? What are our advantages?" There was a trace of doubt on his face.

Xiyu smiled and said: "You Xianbei people are brave and fearless, good at riding and shooting, and galloping freely on the grassland. This is your advantage." His tone was full of pride.

Tuoba Yu couldn't help but feel proud after hearing Xiyu's words.

She nodded and said, "Yes, our Xianbei people's courage and riding and archery skills are unmatched."

At this time, the breeze outside the window blew gently, bringing a touch of coolness. Tuoba Yu's mood gradually calmed down.

Xi Yu continued, "Xianbei does not need to envy the prosperity of others, just play to their own advantages and continue to grow themselves."

Tuoba Yu nodded slightly, with a flash of determination in his eyes.

"You are right, we must rely on the bravery and wisdom of the Xianbei people to create our own glory."

Xi Yu looked at Tuoba Yu, with a gratified smile on his face.

At this time, a melodious flute sound came into their ears. The flute sound was melodious, as if telling a story on the grassland.

Tuoba Yu listened to the flute quietly, and a heroic feeling surged in his heart.

But then, Xiyu joked with her, saying that since she had become his wife, she should not always think about Xianbei.

In fact, Xiyu hoped that she would never think about Tuoba Lu, lest she be sad.

Of course, Tuoba Yu also understood Xiyu's thoughts.

At this time, Ouyang Linlin and Xiaohong came over, and they said they hoped to go out for a walk tonight.

"Very good, in that case, I will accompany you, let's see how well it has developed here."

So, everyone went out for a walk together.

Xiyu and others were strolling in the noisy street market, and suddenly heard a quarrel coming from the front.

Following the sound, they saw two women selling vegetables arguing fiercely.

One of the women in red clothes was full of indignation. She pointed at the other party and angrily accused: "How can you be like this! When I was not here, you sold the vegetables so expensively, and when I came, you sold the vegetables so cheaply! Aren't you deliberately going against me? It's a big deal that both of us can't do business well!" Her voice was sharp and loud, attracting people around to stop and watch.

The other woman responded unyieldingly: "If you have the ability, don't come! Isn't it better if you leave? This street market is not yours alone!" There was a little disdain and provocation in her tone, and she looked at the woman in red with indifference.

The woman in red was so angry that her face turned red. She widened her eyes and glared at the other party, cursing non-stop.

The people around also began to talk about it. Some shook their heads and sighed, while others tried to persuade the two.

Xi Yu looked at this scene and shook his head helplessly.

Seeing this, Xiyu hurriedly stepped forward and persuaded them in a gentle voice: "Two elder sisters, don't quarrel anymore, harmony brings wealth."

Who knows, the two women did not appreciate it, and said in unison: "Who are you? Why are you meddling in other people's business!"

Xiyu showed a trace of helplessness on his face, but he did not back down. When he was about to continue persuading, an accident happened.

The two women suddenly started fighting, pushing and shoving each other, and refused to give in. Their hair was messy, and their faces were full of anger and ferocity.

The crowd around them was in a commotion, and they all stepped back, fearing that they would be affected.

Xiyu frowned, and hurriedly stretched out his hand to separate the two, shouting: "Stop fighting, talk it over!"

However, the two were already in a fierce quarrel at this time, completely ignoring Xiyu's dissuasion.

One of the women reached out and grabbed the other's hair, and the other woman tore the other's clothes hard.

Seeing this, Xi Yu was very anxious. He tried to separate the two women with force, but the two women were entangled like wild bulls.

The crowd around them began to point and talk, but no one dared to come forward to help.

Xi Yu had no choice but to shout: "Stop it! If you don't stop, I will report to the police!"

Hearing the word "report to the police", the two women finally stopped.

At this time, their clothes were torn to pieces and their hair was very messy.

Xi Yu looked at the two women, shook his head, sighed and said: "Why do this? What can't be discussed properly?"

The two women looked at each other and lowered their heads a little guilty.

Xiyu took the opportunity to say: "Your quarrel will not only fail to solve the problem, but also affect the business. Why don't you sit down calmly and have a good talk."

One of the women muttered: "But, the price of her vegetables is too low, I can't do business at all."

The other woman replied: "Is it wrong for me to sell cheaply? Everyone likes to buy cheap vegetables."

Xiyu smiled and said: "You all have your own reasons, but it's not a solution to quarrel like this. Why don't you discuss and find a price that both parties can accept. This can not only guarantee your business, but also avoid quarrels."

The two women were silent for a while after hearing this.

Finally, one of the women said: "Okay, let's try it."

Xiyu saw that the two people's emotions had eased a lot, so he smiled with relief.

The crowd around also applauded, praising Xiyu's wit and courage.

Xiyu led everyone to continue to stroll in the street market, but in his heart he was thinking about how to make this place more prosperous and harmonious.

Tuoba Yu frowned and said seriously: "There are people making trouble in the vegetable market, this is a big deal! As an official here, Liu Bei is guilty of negligence." His eyes were sharp and he stared straight at Xi Yu.

Xi Yu smiled slightly, shook his head, and said in a relaxed tone: "Why put the blame on others? It's just a small matter. Even in a prosperous place, it's inevitable that someone will make trouble." He looked calm and didn't seem to care about it.

Xiaohong, who was standing by, laughed mischievously: "If that's the case, then isn't the prime minister also guilty?"

There was a hint of teasing on her face, which made everyone laugh.

The laughter of the crowd echoed in the air, and the atmosphere suddenly became much more relaxed.

Seeing this, Tuoba Yu also smiled helplessly and stopped nagging about this issue.

Xi Yu smiled and said, "Okay, don't think too much, let's continue to stroll around this lively street market."

Liu Bei also knew about the commotion in the vegetable market. He was shocked, fearing that Xi Yu would blame him.

But I learned that Xiyu didn't blame me, and I finally breathed a sigh of relief. Yes, Xiyu is still understanding.

Even in prosperous places, there are small people who cause trouble. (End of this chapter)
