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

"However, if you like someone, it depends on your feelings. No matter what your brothers are, if I don't like them, it will be useless. So, if you two brothers think highly of me, we can become good friends."

Liu Xiaohong's voice was clear and crisp, and her face was filled with a sincere smile.

Qing'er did not leave. She stood quietly at the door, eavesdropping on the conversation inside.

She showed a very regretful expression on her face, and thought to herself: "If I could really cling to Xiyu's big tree, what a great thing that would be!"

Boss Liu had the same feeling as Qing'er, and a trace of regret appeared on his face.

I secretly sighed in my heart that this was a very good marriage, but unfortunately my daughter refused it.

A hint of disappointment suddenly appeared in Xi Zhicai's eyes, and he sighed silently.

Although Xi Yu's expression was a little uncomfortable, his eyes were filled with admiration for Liu Xiaohong.

He nodded slightly and said softly: "This Miss Liu's character is quite rare."

Xi Zhicai showed an awkward smile on his face, laughed dryly and said: "Well, not bad, let's be friends from now on."

There was a brief silence afterwards, and no other topics were discussed.

Liu Xiaohong blushed slightly and said softly to the Xiyu brothers, "I'm really sorry for treating you as bad people before. Please forgive me." There was sincere apology in her tone.

When Boss Liu saw this, he shook his head helplessly, sighed, and turned away.

Both Xiyu brothers had a look of loss on their faces and they were in no mood to eat at all.

After a while, they both said, "We are full, let's go home first."

Boss Liu sent them out the door, then returned to the room and couldn't help but blame Liu Xiaohong.

How can you be so unkind?" He had a look of dissatisfaction on his face.

Liu Xiaohong replied firmly, "I don't have any special feelings for Xi Zhicai, so why should I agree to it?"

Xi Zhicai followed Xi Yu back to the Prime Minister's Mansion.

He frowned and said to Xi Yu with a sad face: "Xi Yu, I'd better go back to that small mountain village. You can send someone to protect me secretly. As for marriage, don't force it. Let everything take its course." Xi Zhicai's eyes were full of helplessness and loss.

After hearing what Xi Zhicai said, Xi Yu couldn't help but sigh. He understood Xi Zhicai's feelings.

After thinking for a while, Xi Yu said, "Okay, brother, I respect your decision. But can you wait for two more days until Tuoba Yu and I are married before leaving?"

Xi Zhicai hesitated for a moment, but still nodded and said, "Okay, Xi Yu, I'll wait for two more days. I hope you can be happy."

In a dim room, Hong Gang sat with several shepherds.

There was a hint of eagerness and anticipation in Hong Gang's eyes.

He lowered his voice and said to the shepherds: "Brothers, Tuoba Tianlong said that Xianbei has treasures! This is our chance to change our destiny!"

Shepherd A widened his eyes and asked in disbelief: "Really? Hong Gang, this is big news!"

Hong Gang nodded and said seriously, "It's absolutely true! Tuoba Tianlong told me this himself. So, we must take this matter to heart and look for clues carefully. Once we find the treasure, we can accomplish great things!"

Shepherd B rubbed his hands excitedly and said, "Then let's get started! Everyone split up and ask around, we will definitely find clues to the treasure!"

Hong Gang looked at everyone's excitement and felt secretly proud.

He added: "Everyone should be careful and not draw other people's attention. Once you have any clues, notify me immediately. We must do this in secret and not let others know. Especially don't let Tuoba Tianlong know."

Shepherd C frowned and said worriedly: "But, Hong Gang, does this treasure really exist? We don't want to work in vain."

Hong Gang smiled confidently and said, "Don't worry, brothers! Tuoba Tianlong wouldn't say there is a treasure for no reason."

Hong Gang stood up, patted his chest and said, "Brothers, for our future and our great cause, let's work hard together!"

Shepherds A, B, and C also stood up and said in unison: "Okay! Let's work together!"

Hong Gang and shepherds A, B and C were all full of confidence and hope.

They believed that as long as they found the treasure, their fate would change and they would become heroes of the Xianbei!

The next day, Hong Gang wiped his tears and came to Tuoba Tianlong.

"Hong Gang, what's wrong with you? Why are you crying?"
"Chief, I am loyal to you! But now someone is saying bad things about me behind my back, you have to stand up for me!"

Seeing this, Tuoba Tianlong hurriedly comforted him: "Hong Gang, don't cry first, just talk slowly if you have anything to say. I believe you are loyal, don't listen to those people's gossip." Tuoba Tianlong's tone was full of concern and trust.

Hong Gang sobbed and said, "Chief, I have done so much for you. Even if I have no credit, I have worked hard. But now someone is speaking ill of me in front of you, which makes me feel very uncomfortable."

Tuoba Tianlong frowned and asked, "Who is saying bad things about you? Tell me, I will punish him severely!"

Hong Gang gritted his teeth and said bitterly: "Chief, it was that guy Long Tai who said bad things about me behind my back!"

Tuoba Tianlong frowned, remembering what Long Tai had said to him that day.

"Chief, I am loyal to you, but Longtai always targets me. He accuses me because he himself is not clean!"

Tuoba Tianlong looked at Hong Gang with a puzzled look and asked, "What's going on?"

Hong Gang quickly replied: "Chief, a soldier with Long Tai is waiting outside the tent. You can find out if you call him in."

Tuoba Tianlong nodded and shouted outside: "Call that soldier in."

After a while, a soldier walked in with a look of trepidation. As soon as he came in, he knelt down in front of Tuoba Tianlong without daring to raise his head.

Tuoba Tianlong looked at the soldier and asked, "What do you want to report?"

The soldier said in a trembling voice: "Chief, I am a soldier serving Lord Longtai. I have something important to report to you."

Tuoba Tianlong frowned and said, "Tell me, what's the matter?"

The soldier swallowed and said, "Chief, Lord Longtai he...he..."

Tuoba Tianlong said impatiently: "What's wrong with him? Tell me quickly!"

The soldier took a deep breath and said, "Master Longtai, he said that Master Hong Gang is not a good person. He has been saying bad things about you behind your back and wants to frame you."

The soldier continued, "This is not the worst. The worst is..."

The soldier's voice trembled slightly. He secretly looked up at Tuoba Tianlong, then quickly lowered his head and continued, "He actually practiced witchcraft and stabbed a villain! Your name is written on the villain! He wants to curse you every day!"

After saying that, the soldier took out a little man from his arms and presented it with both hands.

After hearing this, Tuoba Tianlong's face turned pale instantly. He snatched the figurine from the soldier's hand and looked at it carefully.

I saw that the little man's body did have his name written on it, and it was full of holes, a horrible sight.

There was a flash of anger in Tuoba Tianlong's eyes. He gritted his teeth and asked, "Where did you find this?"

The soldier lowered his head, not daring to look into Tuoba Tianlong's eyes, and whispered: "Leader, this was found in Lord Longtai's tent. I was originally someone close to Lord Longtai, but I really couldn't stand his disloyal and disadvantageous behavior, so..."

Tuoba Tianlong angrily threw the little man in his hand to the ground, his face flushed red, and he shouted at the top of his voice: "Someone come! Hurry and capture Long Tai for me! I want to interrogate him!"

His voice was filled with anger and his eyes became extremely fierce, as if he wanted to eat Long Tai alive.

The soldier and Hong Gang standing aside looked at each other, and both of them showed a barely perceptible smile on their faces.

Hong Gang was secretly delighted in his heart. He was glad that he had spent a lot of money to bribe this soldier before, although the money made him feel a little sad.

But now it seems that the money was well spent! He finally got rid of a strong enemy for himself.

The soldier was also happy with his wise move.

Maybe you will get a chance to be promoted in the future.

Not long after, Long Tai was brought to Tuoba Tianlong by the guards.

Tuoba Tianlong opened his eyes, looked at Long Tai, and asked coldly: "Long Tai, do you admit your guilt?"

Long Tai was bewildered. He didn't know why Tuoba Tianlong wanted to accuse him of a crime. He quickly said, "Chief, I don't know what crime I have committed. Please tell me clearly." Tuoba Tianlong pointed at the little man on the ground and said, "Look at what this is. I found it in your tent."

Long Tai looked down and his face turned pale instantly. He said in a trembling voice: "Chief, this... this is not mine..."

Tuoba Tianlong slammed the table and shouted, "How dare you quibble! You still say it's not yours?"

Long Tai knelt on the ground and said, "Chief, this is really not mine. I don't know who put it in my tent."

At this moment, the soldier stood up and said, "Chief, I can testify that this is Longtai's thing. I saw him stab this little man in the tent before."

Long Tai never expected that the loyal soldier around him would do such a thing.

He immediately looked at Hong Gang.

There was a flash of anger in his eyes. He knew that Hong Gang must have framed him and bribed the soldiers.

"You have united to harm me. You are totally devoid of conscience!"

Long Tai gritted his teeth and looked at Tuoba Tianlong.

"Chief, I was really wronged. I have always been loyal to you, how could I do such a thing?"

"You said this isn't yours, so tell me, whose is this?"

Long Tai thought for a moment and said, "Chief, I suspect this is Hong Gang's stuff. He has always wanted to get rid of me, so he framed me."

But the soldier kept testifying that this was what Long Tai did.

Tuoba Tianlong said coldly: "Longtai, you are committing treason and intending to rebel. I will execute you today." "Come here! Drag Longtai out and behead him in public!"

The guards rushed forward and dragged Long Tai out.

Long Tai’s cries of injustice gradually faded away and eventually disappeared from everyone’s ears.

Tuoba Tianlong felt relieved as he watched Long Tai being dragged away.

He turned around and said to Hong Gang and Xiao Bing, "You two have done a great job. I will reward you handsomely."

Hong Gang and the soldiers were overjoyed when they heard this. They quickly said, "Thank you, Chief!"

Tuoba Tianlong smiled and said, "Okay, you guys go down. I want to be alone for a while."

On this day, Xiyu and Tuoba Yu's wedding was held in the Prime Minister's Mansion, and the wedding scene was decorated very luxuriously.

Xiyu was wearing a red wedding dress and a happy smile was on his face.

He once sent someone to pass on a message to the Xianbei, hoping that they would send a representative to attend the wedding, but in the end no one came.

Although Xi Yu was a little disappointed, he didn't care too much.

During the wedding, Liu Xie, as the witness, delivered a touching speech, which brought the whole wedding to a climax.

He said: "Today is the wedding day of Prime Minister Xiyu and Tuoba Yu. I am honored to be their witness. Xiyu is also one of my most trusted ministers. He is talented and kind-hearted, and has made many contributions to the country and the people. Tuoba Yu is a princess of the Xianbei. She is beautiful, kind, smart and virtuous. She and Xiyu are a perfect match. I hope they can support each other, care for each other, and create a better future together."

Liu Xie's testimony moved Xi Yu and Tuoba Yu so much that they bowed deeply to thank Liu Xie for his blessing. The guests also applauded and were happy for their happiness.

And today Liu Xie also issued an imperial decree, saying that he would grant amnesty to the whole world.

Many prisoners were released and they expressed their gratitude to the emperor and the prime minister.

One of the prisoners said: "The emperor and the prime minister have given us a chance to start a new life. We must cherish it and never do anything illegal again."

Another prisoner said: "Yes, we should thank the emperor and the prime minister for their kindness and benevolence. We must become useful people to the society in the future."

On Xiyu and Tuoba Yu's wedding night, red candles were shining brightly and the atmosphere was filled with joy.

Xi Yu and Tuoba Yu sat opposite each other, their faces filled with happy smiles.

Xi Yu gently lifted Tuoba Yu's red veil and saw Tuoba Yu's beautiful face.

His heart was filled with joy and excitement. He gently held Tuoba Yu's hand and said, "Yu'er, from today on, you are my wife. I will love and take care of you for the rest of my life."

Tuoba Yu's face flushed, and she said shyly: "My husband, I will love you and accompany you forever."

Xiyu and Tuoba Yu smiled at each other, then hugged each other tightly.

Their hearts are filled with happiness and sweetness, and their future is filled with hope and longing.

The next morning, the sunlight shone through the window onto Xi Zhicai and Xi Yu's faces.

Xi Zhicai prepared to say goodbye to Xi Yu and return to the small village.

Xi Zhicai smiled and said to Xi Yu: "Xi Yu, we have been bothering you for many days, it is time to go back."

There was a hint of reluctance in Xi Zhicai's eyes, but more of it was determination.

Xi Yu nodded and said, "Brother, I understand your thoughts. Don't worry, I have sent people to protect you. They will protect your safety in secret and make sure you can return to the village smoothly."

Xi Zhicai looked at Xi Yu gratefully and said, "Thank you, Xi Yu."

Xi Yu waved his hand and said, "Brother, there is no need to thank each other. I just hope you can live a safe and happy life."

Xi Zhicai quickly returned to the small village, and the soldiers were with him.

On the other side, Tuoba Yu came to Xi Yu and asked, "Husband, should we go look for the Xianbei treasure?"

Xi Yu shook his head and said, "I don't know where the treasure is, so how can I find it?"

Tuoba Yu frowned and said, "But we can send someone to inquire about it, maybe we can find some clues."

Xi Yu smiled and said, "Tuoba Yu, you are too naive. If the treasure is really that easy to find, will it be our turn?"

After listening to this, Tuoba Yu felt that what Xi Yu said made sense, so he stopped talking.

Xi Yu looked at Tuoba Yu and said, "Tuoba Yu, the most important thing for us now is to consolidate our power, not to look for those illusory treasures."

Tuoba Yu nodded and said, "Okay, husband, I'll listen to you."

Ouyang Linlin walked quickly into the room.

"My dear husband, I have decided to go to the Kushan Empire tomorrow. I hope you can send someone to protect me."

Xi Yu smiled slightly and replied firmly: "Don't worry, I will make sure to arrange for everyone to ensure your safety."

Tuoba Yu asked expectantly, "Can I go with you? I love traveling so much." Her eyes sparkled, revealing her longing for the trip.

Ouyang Linlin was delighted when she heard what Tuoba Yu said. She smiled and said, "Of course! But before your wedding, why don't you let the Prime Minister go with you? Isn't that better?"

A hint of anticipation flashed in her eyes, because she had always hoped that Xi Yu could follow them.

Tuoba Yu excitedly pulled Xi Yu's arm and asked in a tender voice, "Husband, can we go too?"

There was a gleam of anticipation in her eyes and an excited smile on her face.

Xiyu was held by Tuoba Yu's arm. He first looked at Ouyang Linlin, then at Tuoba Yu, with an embarrassment on his face.

Apparently, he realized that both women wanted him to come along.

Seeing this, Ouyang Linlin smiled and said, "The Prime Minister has been working hard for state affairs every day. It's time for him to take a vacation and relax."

At this moment, the two women had the same idea. They wanted to persuade Xi Yu to go no matter what.

Xi Yu thought about it and decided that it would be a good idea to go with them.

I actually want to relax, after all, there is nothing else important right now.

"You guys should step back first. Let me think about this matter carefully."

The two women were very happy. Xi Yu said that he would think about it and it was probably almost done. (End of this chapter)
