The frail counselor you said, you fight against three heroes alone?

Tuoba Tianlong's eyes were cold, and he shouted to the soldiers: "Go, deal with Tuoba Lu quickly!"

The soldiers raised their weapons and prepared to charge towards Tuoba Lu.

Lu Zhe stood beside Tuoba Tianlong, smiled contemptuously and said, "Humph, Tuoba Lu is now alone and weak. Dealing with him is as easy as crushing an ant." His eyes were full of disdain.

When Tuoba Lu heard this, his face turned pale. He immediately knelt down and begged for mercy, saying in a trembling voice: "Tuoba Tianlong, please let me go! I am willing to give up the position of leader, just to be able to live."

However, Tuoba Tianlong remained unmoved.

He sneered and said, "Humph, this is impossible."

His expression was cold and ruthless, as if he had already decided Tuoba Lu's fate.

At this critical moment, Tuoba Lu suddenly shouted: "I can die, but I have something to say before I die!"

Tuoba Tianlong frowned and said to him coldly: "If you have any last words, please say them quickly."

Lu Zhe looked at Tuoba Lu warily and shouted, "Don't play any tricks!"

Tuoba Lu quickly shook his head and said, "I don't play tricks. I'm only saying this to Tuoba Tianlong."

Tuoba Tianlong thought for a moment and said, "It doesn't matter, just let him finish what he is saying."

Tuoba Lu said carefully again: "I want to write it down on paper."

Tuoba Tianlong was slightly startled, then nodded and met his request.

Tuoba Tianlong's eyes narrowed, and he said in a deep voice: "Come here, prepare paper and pen!"

The soldiers sprang into action.

After Tuoba Lu got the paper and pen, he quickly wrote a few words, then handed the paper to Tuoba Tianlong and said nervously, "Only you can read it."

Tuoba Tianlong frowned slightly, took the paper, unfolded it and began to read it. In an instant, a look of astonishment appeared on his face and his mouth opened slightly.

Afterwards, Tuoba Tianlong immediately ordered: "Lock up Tuoba Lu first, don't kill him!"

Lu Zhe looked puzzled and asked anxiously, "What on earth is going on?"

Tuoba Tianlong said: "Don't ask any more questions, just follow my orders!"

So, a group of soldiers quickly stepped forward, grabbed Tuoba Lu, and then tied him up tightly with ropes.

They took him back to the tent.

After returning to the tent, Tuoba Lu was eventually ruthlessly imprisoned.

Several of Lu Zhe's confidants came over and asked Lu Zhe curiously.

"Sir, what exactly is written in the letter?"

Lu Zhe frowned and said unhappily, "Everyone was watching there at the time, and I didn't see it, so how could I know?"

There was a hint of annoyance in his eyes.

Then, he said thoughtfully: "Anyway, let's wait and see what happens. Anyway, everyone is now led by Tuoba Tianlong."

After saying this, a complicated look flashed in his eyes.

On the other side, Xiao Cui and Qian Guoqiang were still waiting quietly in the inn.

One day, Qian Guoqiang couldn't help but grumble, "So many days have passed, and the Prime Minister hasn't sent anyone to deliver the news."

Xiao Cui hurriedly advised: "Hey, stop complaining. It's great that the Prime Minister can take care of this matter."

This day, Xiyu’s birthday finally arrived.

Gan Mei stood with a smile on her face in the beautifully decorated banquet hall. Beside her were several ladies, who had worked together to prepare this warm birthday party for Xi Yu.

Xi Yu walked into the banquet hall and saw all this. A surprised smile appeared on his face and his eyes were shining with emotion.

"Wow, you guys actually prepared so much, I'm really surprised."

The ladies also looked at him with smiles.

Tuoba Yu and Xi Zhicai also came forward with a smile.

Everyone sat together and began to enjoy this small banquet. After three rounds of drinks, Xi Yu suddenly remembered the promise he made to his brother to find a wife.

He has to find a wife as soon as possible.

At the birthday party, everyone was laughing and talking happily.

Gan Mei looked at Xi Yu and Tuoba Yu with a smile on her face, and said, "In eight days it will be an auspicious day, why not let the Prime Minister marry Tuoba Yu then."

After saying that, she looked at the two of them expectantly.

After hearing this, Xi Yu turned to look at Tuoba Yu and asked seriously: "Tuoba Yu, are you willing?"

Tuoba Yu's face flushed immediately, and she nodded vigorously without hesitation and said loudly: "I do!"

When the ladies saw this, they all looked surprised.

Xi Shi couldn't help but whispered, "Oh, why did you answer so straightforwardly?"

Xi Yu laughed and quickly explained: "You don't know that foreign women are different from Central Plains women. They don't have that kind of shy mentality, and they always say whatever they want."

As he spoke, he looked at Tuoba Yu, his eyes full of tenderness and love.

Tuoba Yu responded with a brilliant smile, his eyes filled with happiness.

Early the next morning, Xiyu called Ouyang Linlin to his room.

Xi Yu sat on a chair with a serious expression. He looked at Ouyang Linlin standing in front of him and said slowly: "Ouyang Linlin, I want you to help me with something."

Ouyang Linlin frowned slightly and asked in confusion: "Husband, what's the matter?"

Xi Yu said seriously: "You also know that my brother has never married. I want you to help him find a suitable woman."

After hearing this, Ouyang Linlin opened her mouth in surprise.

"Ah? Let me help my brother find a wife?"

Xiyu nodded.

"Yes, you are from Youzhou, so you are familiar with the situation here. I hope you can find an unmarried girl from a family, but you can't let her know her brother's identity. Do you think you can do it?"

"Well... I can try, but I can't guarantee that I'll find the right one."

"It's okay, just do your best. This matter is very important, you need to get it done as soon as possible."

Ouyang Linlin looked at Xi Yu's anxious expression and couldn't help feeling touched.

She nodded and said, "Okay, I'll do it as soon as possible."

Shortly after Ouyang Linlin left, the soldiers at the border crossing came to report to Xi Yu.

"Your Excellency, the letter has been delivered to Tuoba Lu."

"What was the situation like?"

The soldier frowned, a puzzled look on his face.

"Your Excellency, I have seen many Xianbei people glaring at Tuoba Lu, and I don't know why."

After hearing this, Xi Yu couldn't help feeling a little strange.

He stood up and paced back and forth in the tent, thinking about the reason behind this.

After a while, Tuoba Yu walked into the room with light steps.

She smiled, her eyes full of anticipation, hoping that Xi Yu could accompany her out to play for a while.

However, when she saw Xi Yu frowning and looking worried, she couldn't help feeling a little confused.

Tuoba Yu walked gently to Xi Yu and asked with concern: "Prime Minister, what's wrong with you? What happened?"

Xi Yu raised his head, glanced at Tuoba Yu, sighed deeply, and then told her everything about how Tuoba Lu had abused Xiao Cui.

After hearing this, Tuoba Yu was immediately furious. Her face turned very ugly and her eyes flashed with anger.

She yelled at Tuoba Lu, "Tuoba Lu, you are worse than a beast! I should have killed you in the first place!"

After listening to Tuoba Yu's words, Xi Yu nodded slightly and repeated what the soldiers reported in detail.

He frowned and asked doubtfully, "Do you think something happened in Xianbei?"

Tuoba Yu shook his head gently and said helplessly: "I don't know either. But let's not think about these troubles, let's go out and have fun."

Xi Yu thought about it, felt that what Tuoba Yu said made sense, and nodded.

"Okay, let's go out and relax."

So, the two of them walked out of the room together and prepared to go out for fun.

It was late at night and the Xianbei camp was silent.

Tuoba Tianlong took firm steps and came to the tent where Tuoba Lu was imprisoned.

His eyes were cold and firm, making people shudder. Tuoba Tianlong walked into the tent and asked all the guards to leave. He wanted to talk to Tuoba Lu alone.

The servants obeyed the order and left the tent one after another, leaving only Tuoba Tianlong and Tuoba Lu.

Tuoba Tianlong looked at Tuoba Lu coldly and asked, "Where is that place?"

Tuoba Lu raised his head and looked at Tuoba Tianlong, with the corners of his mouth slightly raised, revealing a disdainful smile.

He said, "You must release me first. I will write to you when I am in a safe place."

Tuoba Tianlong sneered and said, "What if I let you go and you don't contact me? I'm not a fool."

Tuoba Lu looked indifferent.

"Then I can't do anything about it. Otherwise, just kill me."

Tuoba Tianlong stared at Tuoba Lu fiercely and said, "Don't refuse a toast and then drink a forfeit. Think about it carefully. If you don't tell me, I will start to torture you tomorrow."

A trace of fear flashed across Tuoba Lu's face, but he still pretended to be calm.

"whatever."

Tuoba Tianlong looked at Tuoba Lu, his heart filled with anger.

He turned and walked out of the tent, saying to the servants who were guarding outside, "Keep a good eye on him. I'll come back tomorrow."

Tuoba Lu sneered: "I won't tell you. Even if I tell you, I won't survive."

After saying this, he threw back his head and burst into laughter, his laughter filled with desolation and despair.

Tuoba Tianlong looked at Tuoba Lu with cold eyes, thinking to himself: This guy is really stubborn, it seems like I have to teach him a lesson.

Tuoba Tianlong returned to his tent with a heavy heart, only to find Lu Zhe standing there waiting for him.

Lu Zhe asked anxiously, "Chief, what did Tuoba Lu write that made you willing to give up killing him?"

Tuoba Tianlong rubbed his forehead tiredly and said calmly: "Don't ask, I know my limits."

Lu Zhe asked unwillingly: "But..."

Tuoba Tianlong interrupted him and said impatiently: "Okay, Lu Zhe. It's getting late, you should go to rest."

Seeing this, Lu Zhe couldn't ask any more questions, so he said helplessly: "Okay, then you should go to bed early too."

After saying that, he turned and left the tent.

Tuoba Tianlong looked at Lu Zhe's departing back and sighed inwardly.

He walked to the bed and lay down, but his thoughts could not calm down for a long time.

Lu Zhe frowned and came to the place where Tuoba Lu was imprisoned with an anxious look on his face.

He said to the guarding soldiers: "I have something to ask Tuoba Lu, let me in."

The soldier replied expressionlessly: "The leader has ordered that no one is allowed to enter."

Lu Zhe said angrily: "I'm just asking, it won't matter."

The soldier hesitated, then shook his head and said, "No, this is the leader's order, we must obey it."

At this moment, Tuoba Lu shouted in the tent: "Lu Zhe, you traitor, get out of here! I won't say anything!"

When Lu Zhe heard Tuoba Lu's yelling, his face instantly turned very ugly.

Lu Zhe suppressed his anger and said, "Tuoba Lu, don't refuse a toast. As long as you tell us everything you know, the leader may consider sparing your life."

Tuoba Lu snorted coldly and said disdainfully: "Lu Zhe, do you think I will believe you? You traitor, I wish I could kill you!"

Lu Zhe was so angry at Tuoba Lu's words that he was shaking all over.

"You are absolutely crazy!"

Tuoba Lu laughed and said, "Yes, I am a lunatic! What can you do to me?"

Lu Zhe turned and left, cursing Tuoba Lu inwardly as he walked away.

Lu Zhe returned to his tent with a tired look on his face. He plopped down on the bed and began to think about what Tuoba Lu had written.

Lu Zhe thought about it for a while, but still had no clue.

He stood up and paced back and forth in the tent, his heart full of doubts and uneasiness.

"No, I must find out what Tuoba Lu wrote." Lu Zhe made up his mind secretly.

He walked to the door of the tent and said to the soldier outside, "Go and bring me some wine and food."

The soldier took the order and left. After a while, he brought some wine and food.

Lu Zhe sat at the table, drinking and continuing to think about Tuoba Lu.

On the other side, Xiyu and Tuoba Yu had a great time playing all day long and returned to their residence late at night, still feeling unsatisfied.

Both of them were a little exhausted, but they were in a particularly good mood.

Tuoba Yu returned to her room, feeling sticky and smelling of sweat, which made her feel very uncomfortable. She decided to take a shower to get rid of the fatigue and odor.

After a while, Tuoba Yu was lying in the bathtub enjoying the hot water, when suddenly, she saw a dark shadow flash past the window.

Tuoba Yu was startled, and before she could react, the dark shadow quietly appeared at the window again, secretly looking into the bathtub.

Tuoba Yu screamed in horror: "Someone come! Someone come!" Her voice was full of fear and panic.

The black shadow was so scared when he heard Tuoba Yu's scream that he quickly turned around and fled.

Tuoba Yu wrapped himself tightly in a bath towel, rushed out of the bathroom, and shouted loudly: "Hurry up, someone!"

At this time, Xiyu also heard Tuoba Yu's cry, and he quickly rushed to Tuoba Yu's room.

Seeing Tuoba Yu panicking, Xi Yu asked with concern: "Tuoba Yu, what happened?"

Tuoba Yu pointed at the window and said in a trembling voice: "There is...someone! He...he peeked at me taking a bath!"

Xiyu looked in the direction of Tuoba Yu's finger and saw that the window was still shaking slightly, obviously someone had just left. Xiyu frowned, and anger surged in his heart.

"Don't be afraid, Tuoba Yu, I will definitely catch this gangster."

Xi Yu patted Tuoba Yu's shoulder gently and said softly: "However, this matter concerns your reputation. We can't publicize it, so as not to cause a bad impact on you."

Tuoba Yu was deeply moved after hearing Xi Yu's words.

Xi Yu comforted him, "Don't worry, I will send soldiers to strengthen patrols to ensure your safety. Go take a shower first, I'll be guarding the door and won't let anyone disturb you."

Tuoba Yu nodded and said, "Well, you should be careful too."

After saying that, Tuoba Yu turned and walked into the bathroom.

Xi Yu stood at the door, looking around vigilantly.

After a while, Tuoba Yu came out of the shower. She was wearing clean clothes, her hair was still wet, and she exuded a faint fragrance.

Xi Yu looked at Tuoba Yu and couldn't help but feel moved. He walked forward, gently wiped Tuoba Yu's hair, and said, "Okay, go and rest, I'll be here to watch over you."

Tuoba Yu looked at Xi Yu, feeling a sense of security in her heart. She nodded and said, "Thank you, Prime Minister."

Xi Yu had a gloomy expression, and his eyes were full of majesty. He said in a low voice: "I have just called out the secret guards, and call the soldiers who are patrolling today."

After a while, the soldiers came hurriedly.

They were a little nervous, not knowing what was going on.

Xi Yu stood in front of them, his face livid, his eyes flashing with anger, and he shouted, "An assassin came just now, and you didn't notice it?"

When the soldiers heard this, they turned pale with fear and quickly knelt down with their foreheads touching the ground.

One of them said tremblingly, "Please forgive me, Prime Minister. We really didn't notice any assassins."

Xi Yu sighed inwardly. He deliberately said that he was an assassin just to protect Tuoba Yu's reputation.

He looked at the soldiers kneeling on the ground, feeling a little reluctant, but still said sternly: "If you rubbish do this again, I will not let you off easily."

The soldiers nodded repeatedly, their hearts filled with fear and self-blame.

Xi Yu looked at the kneeling soldiers in front of him with sharp eyes, as if he could see through them. He gritted his teeth and said in a cold tone: "Next, you must carefully search for the assassin and never miss any clues!"

The soldiers nodded quickly, their hearts filled with tension and anxiety.

Xi Yu's gaze slowly swept over the soldiers and finally stopped on one of them.

He narrowed his eyes slightly, revealing a hint of coldness, and asked coldly: "You, what's your name?"

The soldier was frightened by Xi Yu's gaze and trembled all over. His face turned pale and beads of sweat appeared on his forehead.

He replied tremblingly: "My Lord, my name is Liu San."

The other soldiers felt puzzled.

Why do you want to ask this person alone?
"Liu San, let me ask you, were you patrolling with them just now? Did you leave halfway?" (End of this chapter)
