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

He stopped and slammed the table, causing the documents on the table to tremble slightly.

At this time, another subordinate came in and asked cautiously: "Sir, do you need me to assist in the investigation?"

Rostil glared at him and roared angrily: "What are you still doing? Go and help! Be sure to find the whereabouts of Zahu and those soldiers!"

The subordinate nodded in fright and hurriedly exited the room.

Rostil took a deep breath and tried to calm down.

He knew that anger would not solve the problem in this situation.

He sat back in his chair and began to think about possible clues and countermeasures.

At the same time, the entire mansion fell into a tense atmosphere. Everyone knew that Lord Rostil was furious, and no one dared to take it lightly.

Xi Yu and his party finally arrived near the palace. The place was crowded with people and lined with shops. It was indeed a very prosperous place in Kushan Kingdom.

With tired faces and heavy steps, they came to a teahouse to rest.

As soon as he sat down, he heard many people talking around him.

An old man frowned and said worriedly: "This King Chachatu is recruiting troops everywhere, which is really disturbing!"

A young man next to him echoed: "Yes, and the state affairs are handed over to the favored minister Rostil. Does this make people feel at ease?"

Xi Yu listened to their discussion and thought to himself: "It seems that the situation in the Guishang Kingdom is quite complicated, and this trip may not go smoothly."

Ouyang Linlin looked angry and couldn't help but said: "With this king's actions, isn't he afraid that the people will suffer?"

Xi Yu hurriedly signaled her to be silent, while observing the surroundings vigilantly.

Ouyang Linlin frowned and said to Xi Yu anxiously: "It's better not to worry about things here. Let's go directly to the temple." There was a hint of urgency and uneasiness in her eyes.

Xi Yu crossed his arms and looked firm, retorting without hesitation: "No! We have to think about the inn's affairs." He secretly thought about how he could let go of the inn's affairs so easily.

At this time, Song Shuwen rolled his eyes and suddenly raised his voice to make a suggestion: "Why don't you write a letter and have it delivered to the palace." There was a trace of expectation on his face, and he seemed to be very confident in his idea.

Xi Yu pondered for a moment, then there was a glint of approval in his eyes, and he said, "Well, this method is fine." After saying that, he turned and walked towards the inn, and soon asked the inn for pen and paper to prepare a letter.

After finishing the letter, Xi Yu hurried forward with Ouyang Linlin and Song Shuwen.

The sun was so hot that beads of sweat appeared on their foreheads.

As they walked, a group of soldiers patrolling the road appeared in front of them.

Xi Yu took a deep breath, walked forward quickly, handed the letter in his hand to the leading soldier, and said politely: "Master, please give this letter to the king."

The soldier frowned with a puzzled look on his face, his eyes full of suspicion and disdain, and asked loudly: "What qualifications do these Central Plains people have to order me?"

Xi Yu met the soldier's gaze with firm eyes and said calmly: "About the death of a soldier named Zahu. If you don't want to, forget it."

The soldier was stunned when he heard this, and thought to himself: "I heard that the superiors are investigating this matter, isn't that good?" The expression on his face changed instantly, from the initial arrogance to a little hesitation.

He stared at the letter in Xi Yu's hand, his eyes flickering, and finally he reached out and took it.

Xi Yu nodded slightly and said, "We have Mr. Lao Jun."

After saying that, he took Ouyang Linlin and Song Shuwen to leave.

Just as the soldier was about to turn around, he suddenly stopped Xiyu again. He looked serious and a little confused, and asked loudly: "Wait! Please explain to me clearly first, how did you know about Zahu's death? Now, you must tell us Go see the king!"

Xi Yu's heart tightened, but he quickly regained his composure. With a smile on his face but a look in his eyes, he said to Song Shuwen, "How is it? Even if we can't miss the king, it's still not okay."

Song Shuwen had no choice but to nod and responded: "Yes, Prime Minister."

The soldier led several of them forward quickly.

The summer breeze blew gently, and the leaves on both sides of the road rustled.

Halfway through, Xi Yu inadvertently raised his eyes and saw the back of a woman. Her figure and walking posture looked particularly like Tuoba Yu. His eyes widened instantly, his face was filled with a mixture of disbelief and surprise, and his whole person became particularly out of sorts.

Before anyone else could react, he rushed over desperately and shouted: "Tuobayu!" His voice was full of eagerness and desire, and there was only one thought in his mind, that is, he must confirm whether it was her. .

The soldier was stunned by this sudden scene. His eyes widened in anger and he reached out to grab Xi Yu. He shouted loudly: "How dare you run around!"

Ouyang Linlin was also shocked, but she quickly came to her senses, stopped the soldier quickly, and said anxiously: "Master, please calm down, my husband has admitted the wrong person, and he will definitely come back soon." Her eyes were full of worry. He begged, but in his heart he was also secretly blaming Xi Yu for his impulsiveness.

The soldier frowned, with a look of dissatisfaction on his face, but still stopped and said viciously: "Hurry up! Don't delay things!"

Xi Yu rushed to the woman in a hurry and reached out to grab the woman's shoulders without hesitation.

The woman was startled by this sudden move. She turned her head suddenly, her eyes widened, her face full of horror. Then she raised her eyebrows and shouted angrily: "How dare you act like a hooligan on the street, you are a scoundrel!"

When Xi Yu saw the woman's face, he felt like he was struck by lightning, and the expectation on his face instantly turned into embarrassment and regret.

His heart thumped, and he secretly screamed: "Oops, I recognized the wrong person!"

He quickly let go of his hand, kept bending and bowing, his face flushed, and he said eagerly: "Girl, I'm really sorry. I was reckless and admitted the wrong person. I asked you to give me a lot of help. Don't blame me."

After hearing Xi Yu's apology, the woman's face was still very ugly. She folded her hands on her chest, glared at Xi Yu and said, "You admitted the wrong person? Your reason is too far-fetched! You dare to touch me in broad daylight? We can’t just let it go!”

Xi Yu looked embarrassed, beads of sweat appeared on his forehead, and he hurriedly apologized sincerely again: "Girl, I really impulsively admitted the wrong person, and I definitely didn't mean to offend. I am willing to make amends, and I just ask the girl to forgive me."

At this time, Ouyang Linlin and the soldiers also rushed over.

Seeing this scene, Ouyang Linlin hurriedly stepped forward, said with an apologetic smile to the woman: "Girl, I'm really sorry. My husband committed such a stupid thing because he missed his old friend too eagerly. I hope the girl Haihan.”

The soldier urged impatiently: "Stop dawdling and leave quickly! The king is still waiting!"

Seeing that their attitude was quite sincere, the woman's face softened a little, and she snorted and said, "Forget it this time, I won't let you go easy next time!"

Xi Yu felt relieved and thanked her repeatedly: "Thank you for your magnanimity, Miss! Thank you very much!"

Afterwards, the group of people continued walking towards the palace, but Xi Yu couldn't calm down for a long time, and his heart was full of regret for his impulsive behavior.

Xi Yu followed the team, his face so gloomy that it looked like he could drip water.

His brows were furrowed tightly, his lips unconsciously pressed into a straight line, his eyes were empty and confused, and his whole person exuded a dull aura.

There seemed to be a mess in his heart, and he kept thinking: "Tuobayu, where are you? Are you suffering somewhere? Or have you forgotten me..."

Every time he thought of this, his heart felt like it was being plucked severely by a big invisible hand, and the pain was so painful that he could hardly breathe.

The sun shone on his face, but it couldn't dispel the gloom in his heart. He was immersed in his thoughts and worries about Tuobayu, unaware of the eyes of the people around him.

Ouyang Linlin and Xiaohong also looked at each other, their faces full of doubts and worries.

Ouyang Linlin frowned slightly, with confusion in her eyes, and she thought to herself: "Where did Tuobayu go? Did he leave just for a trivial matter?"

She sighed softly. Although she hoped deep down in her heart that there would be no other women around Xi Yu, at this moment, thinking about the past, she still couldn't help but feel worried.

Xiaohong bit her lip and whispered: "Madam, it's true that Mrs. Tuobayu left just as she said she wanted to, without any news at all."

Ouyang Linlin shook her head helplessly and said, "Anyway, I hope she will be safe and sound."

After saying that, he turned to look at Xi Yu, who was still immersed in his own thoughts, with a trace of complicated emotions flashing in his eyes.

Just then, they walked through an alley.

Xi Yu and others were attracted by the noisy sound in front of them, and saw that there were many soldiers here who were clashing with the people.

The common people looked angry and helpless, while the soldiers looked fierce.

A soldier leader stared, waved the whip in his hand, and shouted loudly: "You country bumpkins, you are so ignorant! In the face of a national crisis, you don't let your family members serve as soldiers!" His face was full of anger and disdain, as if in front of him. The people are all ignorant fools.

An old man stood up tremblingly and said in a trembling voice: "Master, our family only has one seedling. How will we live this life if we join the army?" His eyes were full of pleading, and his body was filled with fear. And trembling slightly.

Another soldier stepped forward, pushed the old man fiercely, and cursed: "Stop talking nonsense! This is the king's order, it's not up to you!"

Xi Yu frowned, filled with indignation, thinking to himself: "How can we win the hearts of the people with such a forced conquest?"

Xiaohong was so frightened that she hid behind and timidly looked at the chaotic scene in front of her.

Xi Yu and the others stopped and looked solemnly at the chaotic scene in front of them.

Xi Yu clenched his fists and furrowed his brows, his eyes showing a mixture of anger and helplessness, thinking to himself: "How can the people be at peace with such violent expropriation?"

Ouyang Linlin looked worried, tugged on Xi Yu's sleeves, and whispered, "Husband, let's not meddle in other people's business."

At this moment, the leading soldier shouted impatiently: "What are you looking at! Leave quickly! Don't get in the way here!" His eyes were vicious, as if he wanted to eat someone.

Xi Yu took a deep breath, suppressed the anger in his heart, turned around and left with Ouyang Linlin and Xiao Hong.

On the other side, after Tuobayu left that day, he felt regret in his heart before he had gone far. "How could I be so impulsive, how could I just leave him like this?" She murmured to herself, turning around in a hurry, wanting to go back to find Xi Yu.

She looked anxious, her eyes full of eagerness and uneasiness, and she didn't notice the uneven road under her feet at all.

Suddenly, Tuobayu staggered, "Oh!" She exclaimed and threw herself forward.

But this time she fell so hard that her head hit a rock hard, her vision went dark, and she fell down and passed out.

Later, an old hunter passed by carrying prey on his back and found Tuobayu unconscious on the roadside. He quickly put down the prey, carefully picked up Tuobayu and took it back to his home.

On this day, Tuoba Yu woke up slowly. She slowly opened her eyes, her eyes were confused and empty. She frowned, trying to remember something, but found that her mind went blank.

When the old hunter saw her waking up, a happy smile immediately broke out on his face, and his eyes were full of concern. He quickly came forward to say hello: "Girl, you are finally awake!"

Tuobayu looked frightened and confused, and asked with a trembling voice: "Where is this? Who am I? Why can't I remember anything?" She clutched the quilt tightly with both hands, and her body trembled slightly.

The old hunter was stunned for a moment, and then said gently: "Girl, this is my home. I found you unconscious on the roadside and brought you back. As for who you are, I don't know. But Don't worry, you may be able to remember when you recover."

After listening to the old hunter's words, Tuobayu's eyes became more and more confused. She murmured to herself: "I can't remember anything, what should I do?" Tears rolled in her eyes, and she felt extremely panic and helpless.

The old hunter patted her shoulder gently and comforted her: "Girl, don't be anxious, this may only be temporary. You have a good rest first, and taking good care of yourself is the most important thing."

Tuobayu bit his lip and nodded, but his heart was still messy and full of fear of the unknown.

In the next few days, under the careful care of the old hunter, Tuobayu's body gradually recovered some strength, but his memory still did not come back.

She often sits in front of the window, staring outside in a daze, trying hard to capture the disappearing memory fragments.

The old hunter saw it in his eyes and felt pain in his heart. He tried every means to tell Tuobayu some interesting stories to try to relieve her anxiety.

One day, Tuobayu suddenly said to the old hunter: "Uncle, I want to go for a walk, maybe I can think of something."

The old hunter hesitated for a moment, then nodded in agreement: "Okay, girl, but you have to be careful."

Tuobayu walked out of the room, the sun shone on her, but her heart was still shrouded in haze.

But the old hunter was still worried about Tuobayu leaving alone. He stood at the door, looking at Tuobayu's retreating back, frowning and muttering to himself: "This girl doesn't remember anything, what if something happens to her?" What to do?”

After much thought, he decided to follow secretly.

Tuobayu walked on the road, looking dazed and wandering, trying hard to search for even a trace of familiarity in his mind. But every attempt ended in disappointment, and her face was full of frustration and confusion.

The old hunter who was following behind felt heartbroken when he saw Tuobayu's appearance.

Tuobayu walked for a while, still clueless, and finally sighed helplessly, turned around and walked towards the old hunter's home. Her steps were heavy, her eyes were dull, and her heart was full of loss.

When the old hunter saw her coming back, he hurriedly hid aside, waited for Tuobayu to enter the house, and then quietly returned to his original position, pretending as if nothing had happened.

On the other side, Xiao Hong was walking with the team, beads of sweat appeared on her forehead. She was panting heavily and asked the soldier with a tired look on her face: "Master, how long until we arrive?"

The soldier turned to look at her, frowned slightly, and said impatiently: "Why are you so anxious? Just leave in peace!"

Xiao Hong pouted and complained secretly: "Huh, I know the murderer, I'm not tired."

But he didn't dare to say anything more and could only follow the team silently and continue moving forward.

After a while, the soldier suddenly turned his head, stared at Xi Yu sharply, and asked, "Who are you and what are you doing here?"

Xi Yu glanced at him and said coldly: "If I ask you to mind your own business, don't ask any more questions."

When the soldier heard this, he immediately became angry. His eyes widened, his face flushed, and he roared: "On the territory of the Kushan Empire, you Central Plains people actually dare to be so domineering?" As he said this, he said proudly. He raised his palm and was about to hit Xi Yu.

Xi Yu sneered, with a cold look in his eyes, and said, "It's best not to slap him down, because Zahu was killed by someone from our side."

When the soldier heard this, his hands froze in mid-air. The anger on his face was instantly replaced by fear. His eyes opened wide and he stammered: "What? Zahu was killed by you..."

His heart was filled with shock and fear. He never expected that this would be the case.

The soldier's hand trembled and he slowly put it down, big beads of sweat appeared on his forehead, and his voice became trembling: "How is this possible? Who are you? Why did you want to kill Zahu?"

Xi Yu looked serious, stared at the soldier, and said, "Zahu deserves to die, he has done too many unforgivable things. As for us, you don't need to know too much."

The soldier swallowed, his eyes full of panic and confusion, and murmured to himself: "What can we do, what can we do?"

Ouyang Linlin interjected from the side: "Master Jun, we are here to inform the king of the truth of the matter. We do not intend to be an enemy of your country."

The soldier looked at Ouyang Linlin, then at Xi Yu, still in shock, and said, "Even so, this is a huge matter, and I can't make the decision." (End of this chapter)
