Before Ouyang Linlin could put down the poker in her hand, she saw soldiers rushing over.

She frowned slightly, a trace of doubt rising in her heart.

The soldier said anxiously: "Ladies, something happened! There is important news!"

Ouyang Linlin put down the poker with a surprised look on her face.

Her eyes widened and she asked eagerly: "What's going on? Tell me quickly!"

The soldier took a deep breath and told the truth of the matter.

As Ouyang Linlin and several other ladies listened, the expressions on their faces gradually became shocked, their mouths opened slightly, and their eyes were full of disbelief and surprise.

They looked at each other, and they could see the shock in each other's eyes.

The poker cards in Ouyang Linlin's hands were scattered all over the table.

She stared at the soldier blankly, her face full of panic and worry.

The soldier hurriedly said: "Madam, don't worry, just listen to what I have to say. Although this has happened, everything will be fine when the Prime Minister comes back."

Ouyang Linlin frowned and bit her lip, her eyes showing deep anxiety.

The faces of the other ladies were full of shock and panic.

They looked at each other, no longer in the mood to continue playing poker.

A lady asked anxiously: "What can we do?"

She frowned, her eyes were full of worry, and she clasped her hands tightly together.

The other lady stood aside in a daze, with empty eyes, muttering to herself: "How could this happen..."

Seeing this, the soldier quickly comforted: "Ladies, don't worry too much. I believe the Prime Minister will have a way to solve it."

But the faces of the ladies still showed panic that was difficult to conceal.

After the soldiers left, the air seemed to be stagnant.

A soldier suddenly said in annoyance: "Oh, did we do something wrong just now? Didn't this cause trouble for the ladies?"

Several women looked at each other and fell into silence.

After a while, one of the ladies broke the silence and said, "What can we do? We have to think of a way!"

Another lady also echoed anxiously: "Yes, we can't just wait like this!"

Ouyang Linlin bit her lip, thinking a lot in her heart.

She thought to herself: If something happened to her uncle, it was not because of Xiyu. In fact, there was no need to worry too much.

But if I think this way, am I a little selfish? After all, the uncle is also a member of the family. She felt a pang of guilt wash over her.

The other ladies were still talking about it.

Ouyang Linlin fell into deep self-blame.

After the soldiers left, the atmosphere turned somber.

A soldier stamped his foot in annoyance and said, "Oh, you really shouldn't be like this. Isn't this causing trouble for the ladies!"

Several women looked at me and I looked at you, not knowing what to do.

Sun Shangxiang frowned and said seriously: "It's useless to say anything. We can only wait until Xi Yu comes back."

Ouyang Linlin bit her lip, her face full of worry, but she nodded helplessly.

The other ladies also agreed.

Gradually, everyone dispersed like deflated rubber balls.

There is still an uneasy atmosphere in the air, and it seems that you can still see their lost figures when they left.

Ouyang Linlin stood there, deep in thought, her eyes dull.

Xiaohong stepped forward, gently pulled Ouyang Linlin's clothes, and said comfortingly: "Miss, don't be sad."

Ouyang Linlin slowly raised her head, her eyes full of confusion and pain.

She asked softly: "Xiao Hong, am I too selfish?"

Xiaohong frowned slightly, with a distressed look on her face.

She said seriously: "Miss, this is not selfish. The Prime Minister means a lot to you, and it is natural for you to be particularly sad. Now that I heard that something happened to Mr. Xi Zhicai, you are not very sad. This is normal. ”

Ouyang Linlin sighed softly after hearing Xiaohong's words, but the sadness on her face still did not dissipate.

The third child hurried home, and the second child immediately greeted him and asked anxiously: "How is it? What's going on?"

The third child breathed heavily and told the whole story of what happened.

Xi Zhicai shouted from the side: "It's best to let me go. I can go and intercede with Xi Yu and spare the three of you!"

After hearing this, the boss opened his eyes angrily. He suddenly raised his hand and slapped Xi Zhicai hard. His face instantly turned red. He gritted his teeth and said viciously: "If you say such things again, you will be beaten to death." you!"

Xi Zhicai was beaten until the corner of his mouth was bleeding, but he still stared at the boss unwillingly, his eyes full of resentment.

There was a tense atmosphere in the room. The second child frowned and said with dissatisfaction: "Xi Yu hasn't come back for several days. Is it possible that we still have to worry about Xi Zhicai's meal? It's really unreasonable!"

The boss took a deep breath and tried to calm down.

He looked at Xi Zhicai and said helplessly: "Xi Yu won't ignore his brother anyway, so just wait a few days."

The third child looked at the second child, then at Xi Zhicai, and then said to the eldest brother: "Second brother, look at Xi Zhicai. Eldest brother, please follow me outside."

The eldest brother and the third child slowly walked outside.

The third child frowned and said worriedly: "Brother, do you think Xi Yu will attack us regardless of his brother's life or death?"

The boss gritted his teeth and said firmly: "Impossible! Xi Yu is not that kind of person!"

The third child shook his head, his face full of doubts, and said: "Xi Yu is the prime minister. Since ancient times, people who do important things have been ruthless."

After hearing what the third child said, the boss showed a trace of hesitation on his face, and his eyes began to wander, as if he was thinking about something.

The third child approached the eldest brother and said in a low voice: "Brother, we must make preparations!"

The boss frowned and said solemnly: "It's better to act according to circumstances."

His eyes were a little wandering, as if he was still weighing something.

The third child said eagerly: "We must prepare now! We can't wait any longer!"

The boss raised his head and looked at the third child, with a trace of confusion in his eyes, and murmured: "How to prepare? What can we do?"

The third child approached the eldest brother, lowered his voice and said nervously: "Brother, why don't we just leave the two of us here. Let the second brother leave, and we can preserve the bloodline once Xi Yu really takes action."

He frowned, his eyes full of worry and determination.

The boss nodded slightly, with a thoughtful expression on his face.

After a moment, he said slowly: "Okay, let's do it." A trace of determination flashed in his eyes.

The third child turned to look into the room and shouted to the second child: "Second brother, come out!"

The second child walked out of the house, looked at the third child and the eldest son with a puzzled look, and asked, "What's wrong?"

His brows furrowed, his eyes full of confusion.

The second child came outside with a puzzled look on his face and looked at the eldest and third child.

The boss took a deep breath and slowly revealed the third child's worries and plans with a solemn expression.

After hearing this, the second child frowned and a trace of determination flashed across his face.

He said excitedly: "What Lao San said makes sense, but if you want to stay, I will stay. How can I be a person who is greedy for life and afraid of death?"

His eyes were firm and persistent, staring closely at the boss, and his chest was rising and falling violently, as if to express his determination.

The eldest brother looked at the second eldest brother, a trace of emotion flashed in his eyes. He opened his mouth, wanting to say something, but he didn't know how to speak.

At this time, the third child hurriedly ran out of the house and said, "Xi Zhicai can't run out anyway, so why don't I come out too."

The second child's eyes widened and he said, "Third child, it's better for you to leave."

Not to be outdone, the third child raised his voice and said, "Why did I leave? If you want to leave, it's up to you to leave!"

The two started arguing, the second one's face was full of stubbornness, while the third one looked a little excited.

At this time, the boss raised his hand and stopped their quarrel.

"Okay, stop arguing! No matter what the outcome is, the three of us brothers will live and die together!"

The second and third children gradually became quiet after hearing what the eldest said.

Xi Yu was riding a horse in front of the team. He turned to Tuobayu and said, "Tuobayu, we can reach Youzhou in one more day's journey."

Tuobayu sat on his horse, looked into the distance, and said with emotion: "The Central Plains is so nice, much better than our place in Xianbei."

Her eyes showed her yearning and love for the Central Plains, and her face was filled with a bright smile. That night, Xi Yu and his party stayed at an inn. The moonlight shines in the courtyard of the inn, casting a silver veil over everything.

What is particularly coincidental is that this store is opened by Xianbei people.

The boss Han Dacheng was busy. When he saw Tuobayu, his eyes suddenly burst into surprise.

Han Dacheng walked quickly to Tuobayu, his voice trembling with excitement, and asked: "You...are you from Xianbei?"

Tuobayu nodded slightly, looked at Han Dacheng doubtfully, and asked, "I am, what can I do for you?"

Han Dacheng was so excited that his hands were shaking. He said, "I am very excited to see the Xianbei people! My father came to the Central Plains to do business when he was a child, and later settled here. I have lived in the Central Plains since I was a child."

His face was full of emotion, and his eyes showed his deep attachment to his hometown.

Tuobayu raised his eyebrows and asked, "What's your name?"

Han Dacheng bowed slightly and replied: "The younger one's name is Han Dacheng."

He had a sincere smile on his face and looked at Tuobayu sincerely.

Tuobayu asked again: "Since you have lived here since you were a child, do you also have special feelings for Xianbei?"

Han Dacheng's eyes became a little distant, and he said with emotion: "That's true. Although I grew up here, I can't let go of my deep feelings for Xianbei."

His face showed deep longing and melancholy, as if he was recalling his distant hometown.

Han Dacheng turned to look at Xi Yu and the other three, with a smile on his face, and said boldly: "Since we are friends of the Xianbei people, today's meal will be free of charge for you!"

Xi Yu quickly waved his hand and said, "How can this be done? There is no need to avoid it."

Han Dacheng thought for a while and said, "In that case, let's make it cheaper."

Xi Yu still wanted to refuse, but Han Dacheng insisted: "Don't refuse, it's settled!"

After finishing the meal, Han Dacheng walked up to Tuobayu and said softly: "Girl, can you follow me to the yard to say a few words?"

Tuobayu followed Han Dacheng to the courtyard. The bright moonlight shone on the ground, casting a layer of silver gauze over the courtyard.

Tuobayu asked curiously: "What do you want from me?"

Han Dacheng lowered his voice and said: "A few days ago, several Xianbei people came to my store, and the leader was the leader Tuoba Lu."

After Tuobayu heard this, he was suddenly startled, with a look of disbelief on his face.

She wondered, my brother came to the Central Plains to find me?

She immediately acted like she didn't know anything, and then asked: "What happened next?"

Han Dacheng said solemnly: "Girl, those people knew that I was from Xianbei, so they told me the truth. They said they wanted more Xianbei people to enter the Central Plains, and this time they came to talk to Xi Yu."

When Tuobayu heard this, his face was filled with shock.

She asked in surprise: "What? Talk to Xiyu?"

Han Dacheng looked at Tuobayu and continued: "I tell you this, girl, because you are also from Xianbei."

Tuobayu frowned and fell into deep thought.

She remembered that her brother really wanted everyone to enter the Central Plains, but no one would have thought that the person with her was Xi Yu.

She looked at Han Dacheng with intriguing eyes.

"Girl, why are you looking at me like that?"

"Why are you telling me this? Is it just because I am from Xianbei?"
"Of course that's the reason."

But Tuobayu couldn't believe his words at all.

"I want you to tell me the truth."

Helpless, Han Dacheng told the truth.

That day, Tuoba Lu also said that his sister was lost and she didn't know where she was now, and asked if he had seen her.

But when he saw Tuoba Yu's appearance today, he felt that he looked very similar to Tuoba Lu.

"So I dare to ask girl, are you the leader's sister?"

"How could I be his sister? I'm just an ordinary person. If there's nothing wrong, I'll leave first."

Tuobayu hurried back to Xi Yu.

Xi Yu saw her ugly face and asked with concern: "Tuobayu, what's wrong with you? What happened?"

Tuobayu pursed his lips, his eyes evaded, and said: "No... nothing happened."

A flash of panic flashed across her face.

Xi Yu stared at her for a while, and naturally understood in his heart that it must be related to Han Dacheng's words.

But seeing that she didn't want to say anything, he couldn't ask anymore.

Xi Yu and others were just about to go to Han Dacheng to book a few rooms when they saw Han Dacheng coming over with a bowl of steaming soup.

Han Dacheng smiled with a smile on his face and said enthusiastically: "Dear guests, since we are here today, I specially give you a dish as a gift."

Xi Yu quickly waved his hand and said: You are too polite, how can you be so embarrassed. "

Han Dacheng laughed heartily and said, "There's nothing to be embarrassed about. This is what we should do."

Xi Yu looked at Han Dacheng, smiled and said, "Then please arrange a few rooms for us."

Han Dacheng nodded and said, "Don't worry, I will make arrangements."

After saying that, he turned and left.

Xi Yu looked at Han Dacheng's leaving figure, frowned slightly, and thought to himself: "I always feel that Han Dacheng's demeanor is a bit strange, as if he is hiding something from us."

A confused look appeared on his face.

Tuobayu kept his head down, looking a little lonely.

She was secretly thinking about her brother, and her mind was full of thoughts. Suddenly, she realized that she could no longer hate her brother, but she still wanted to avenge Hailan.

Thinking of this, her eyes became a little confused, and her whole person seemed to be in a trance.

Xi Yu noticed Tuobayu's strangeness and said gently: "Tuobayu, don't think so much, let's eat first."

At this moment, Song Shuwen said quietly: "No one should touch this soup."

His voice was low, with a hint of caution.

After saying that, he looked at the bowl of soup carefully, with a look of surprise on his face.

Immediately afterwards, he quickly took out the silver needle and tried the soup, only to see that the silver needle quickly turned black.

Xi Yu and Tuo Bayu were shocked when they saw this scene.

Xi Yu's eyes widened with an expression of disbelief on his face, and he said, "What...what's going on?"

Tuobayu also raised his head, his eyes full of fear, his mouth open, unable to speak for a long time.

Xi Yu frowned and said, "No wonder I saw Han Dacheng a little strange just now. This soup is actually poisonous!"

At this moment, Tuobayu suddenly slapped the table, widened his eyes, and shouted with an angry face: "Come here!"

The sound was like thunder, exploding in the room.

Soon, a waiter hurriedly walked in from the outside and asked with a puzzled face: "Guests, what are you doing?"

Tuobayu glared angrily, gritted his teeth and said, "We want to see Han Dacheng! Immediately!"

Her eyes seemed to be bursting with fire, full of anger and anxiety.

When the waiter saw this, he didn't dare to neglect, and hurriedly ran all the way to call Han Dacheng.

After a while, Han Dacheng walked in.

When he saw Tuobayu's angry look, he couldn't help but feel a thump in his heart and secretly screamed.

But he still forced himself to stay calm and deliberately pretended to be confused: "Guests, what's going on? Why are you so angry?"

His eyes flickered a little, and he didn't dare to look directly into Tuobayu's eyes.

Tuobayu's eyes widened angrily and she stared at Han Dacheng. Her face turned red and her chest heaved violently. She said angrily: "Han Dacheng, don't pretend to be confused with me here! This soup is poisonous. What the hell are you doing?" What do you want to do?"

Han Dacheng lowered his head guiltily, avoiding Kai Bayu's gaze. The corners of his mouth twitched slightly, and he stammered: "This...how is this possible? I...I don't know what's going on."

Han Dacheng stood there, full of doubts in his heart, thinking to himself: How did they know that this soup was poisonous? How strange.

Xi Yu laughed coldly, then pointed at Song Shuwen and said, "Don't worry about it. Do you think we don't know your little tricks? There is a miracle doctor here who wants to use such dirty tricks. It’s impossible to use other methods to deal with us!”

Song Shuwen stood aside, looking at Han Dacheng expressionlessly, still holding the blackened silver needle in his hand.

Han Dacheng finally understood what was going on, but he still had to pretend to be confused.
