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

The young soldier leaned close to Tuoba Tianlong's ear and whispered, "Chief, I have a plan. We can get Shidi drunk and wait for him to get drunk. He might tell the truth." There was a hint of cleverness in his eyes.

After listening to this, Tuoba Tianlong frowned, pondered for a moment, then smiled and said, "Well, this is a great plan!" There was a hint of excitement in his voice.

Therefore, Tuoba Tianlong immediately gave orders and asked people to prepare good wine.

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

He vaguely remembered that he had once stood here and looked down at the land.

But now, when I revisit the old place, I feel as if I were in another world.

Especially when he thought that the well water here had been poisoned, he felt filled with emotion.

As soon as Xi Yu walked to the city gate, the soldiers guarding the gate recognized him. They immediately knelt on their knees and saluted respectfully.

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

Afterwards, Xi Yu stepped into Fang Jun.

When Xi Yu arrived at the palace of Fangjun, Liu Bei was writing attentively in his study.

When Liu Bei heard the guards report Xi Yu's arrival, the pen in his hand trembled. He raised his head with a look of surprise on his face, and said to himself: "Prime Minister? Why is he here?"

Immediately afterwards, Liu Bei 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 gleam of surprise in his eyes.

Xi Yu smiled and said, "I came here just to see the changes in this county." His tone was relaxed.

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

Upon hearing this, Liu Bei showed a hint of joy on his face, but then he smiled humbly and said, "No, no, this is all thanks to the Prime Minister's good leadership. I am just following your instructions." There was some sincerity in his tone.

Xi Yu waved his hand and said with a smile: "You don't have to be too modest. This is your credit. 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 play the role of host." His eyes were full of sincere invitation.

Xi Yu smiled and agreed: "Then I'd better obey your command."

Xianbei and Shidi were forced to drink by the officers and soldiers. Shidi had a painful expression on his face, but his eyes were firm, and he secretly told himself in his heart: "You must not tell the truth, and you must not betray Hong Gang!"

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

The officers and soldiers who were feeding the wine were stunned. They looked at the scene in horror, their faces pale and stammering, "General... General, Shi Didu committed suicide by chewing his tongue!" Their voices trembled, full of fear and shock.

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

Tuoba Tianlong sighed helplessly, thinking in his heart how to deal with this difficult matter. His eyes revealed a trace of fatigue and helplessness.

Just then, a heart-wrenching cry was heard from a distance.

Tuoba Tianlong turned his head and saw Haishe crying heartbrokenly, his face full of tears and his body shaking with 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 Hai She and couldn't help but feel a little pity in his heart, but he was helpless and could only pat Hai She's shoulder gently and comfort him: "Please accept my condolences..."

Just then, Hong Gang walked in hurriedly.

There was a hint of nervousness and anticipation on his face. When he learned that Shi Didu had not revealed him, he suddenly felt relieved and an ecstatic expression appeared on his face.

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

After hearing what Hong Gang said, Tuoba Tianlong frowned slightly, and a hint of dissatisfaction flashed in his eyes.

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

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

Haishe on the side was still crying, tears streaming down his face.

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

Hai She raised his head, looked at Hong Gang with tearful eyes, and said with a sob: "But... he is my man after all..." His voice was full of pain and reluctance.

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

Haishe 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 so miserable and sad that it moved people.

After a while, a maid came over quietly. With a trace of doubt and worry on her face, she said softly: "Madam, Shi Didu's death was very strange. There must be someone behind the scenes who was behind it. So he would rather die than tell the truth." Her tone was full of certainty.

Haishe raised his head, looked at the maid with tears on his face, and said with a sob: "Of course I know this, but what's the use?"

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

Hai She wiped away his tears and said firmly, "Just tell me what you want to say. I won't blame you."

The maid calmed herself 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 she heard this and said in disbelief: "Hong Gang is loyal to Tuoba Tianlong, how could he do such a thing?" Her face was full of confusion and puzzlement.

The maid calmed down a little, and then analyzed: "That's just a surface phenomenon. In fact, Hong Gang never had any hatred towards Tuoba Tianlong before, and it is impossible for him to avenge Tuoba Lu." There was some thought in her voice.

After hearing what the maid said, Haishe suddenly remembered.

Yes, Hong Gang is gracious to Shi Di, and it is a great grace. It is entirely possible that Shi Di would do such a thing for him.

At this moment, a trace of wisdom flashed in the maid's eyes, and she continued, "Madam, think about it, Shi Didu is so respectful to Hong Gang on weekdays, there must be a reason."

Haishe nodded, the confusion on his face gradually dissipated, replaced by a thoughtful expression.

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

The maid nodded quickly and replied softly, "I know. Of course I understand the situation." Her eyes revealed a hint of obedience and obedience.

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

Her brows were furrowed, 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 lowered her head and thought for a while, then raised her head and said, "Why don't we go to Xi Yu for help? Maybe he can help us."

After hearing this, Hai She shook her head and said softly, "This is probably not appropriate. Maybe Xi Yu doesn't have the idea of ​​​​destroying the Xianbei. Besides, how could he change his plan for us?" There was a hint of helplessness and frustration in her eyes.

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

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

As night fell, the city of Fangjun was brightly lit. Xi Yu and others moved into the palace.

Tuoba Yu stood quietly in front of the window. He already knew in his heart that Fang County was actually Fang State. Looking at the magnificent palace in front of him, he couldn't help but sigh that a small Fang State had such a magnificent palace, and where could the Xianbei have one? They were just a nomadic people.

Xi Yu noticed that Tuoba Yu looked thoughtful and asked with concern: "What's wrong with you? Why do you look like that?" Tuoba Yu came back to his senses and told him exactly what he was thinking.

Xi Yu frowned slightly after hearing what Tuoba Yu said. He thought for a moment and then said, "Although Fang State is small, its palace is indeed magnificent. However, you Xianbei also have your own advantages."

Tuoba Yu turned to look at Xi Yu and asked, "Oh? What are our advantages?" A hint of confusion appeared on his face.

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

After hearing Xi Yu's words, Tuoba Yu couldn't help but feel a surge of pride in his heart.

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 hint of coolness. Tuoba Yu's mood gradually calmed down.

Xi Yu continued, "The Xianbei people do not need to envy the prosperity of others. They only need to play to their own strengths and continue to grow stronger."

Tuoba Yu nodded slightly, with a hint 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 and a relieved smile appeared on his face.

At this time, a melodious flute sound came into their ears. The flute sound was melodious and seemed to be telling the story of the grassland.

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

But then, Xiyu started to joke with her, telling her that since she had become his wife, she should stop thinking about the Xianbei affairs.

In fact, Xi Yu hoped that she would never think about Tuoba Lu, so as not to make her sad.

Of course Tuoba Yu also understood Xi Yu's thoughts.

Just at this moment, Ouyang Linlin and Xiaohong came over and said they wanted to go out for a walk tonight.

"Very good. In that case, I will accompany you. Let's see how well this place develops."

So, everyone went out shopping together.

Xi Yu and others were strolling in the noisy street when they suddenly heard a quarrel coming from the front.

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

One of the women, who was wearing red clothes, had an indignant look on her face. She pointed at the other person and angrily accused him, "How can you be like this! When I wasn't here, you sold the vegetables so expensively, and when I came, you sold them so cheaply! Aren't you deliberately going against me? You've made it so that both of us can't do business. What kind of thing is this!" Her voice was sharp and loud, attracting people around to stop and watch.

The other woman responded unyieldingly: "If you have the guts, then don't come! Wouldn't it be better if you just leave? This street doesn't belong to you alone!" There was a hint of disdain and provocation in her tone, and she looked at the woman in red with cold eyes.

When the woman in red heard this, she got so angry that her face turned red. She widened her eyes, glared at the other person, and kept cursing.

The people around also began to talk, 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, Xi Yu hurriedly stepped forward and advised in a gentle voice: "Two sisters, please stop arguing. Harmony brings wealth."

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

A trace of helplessness appeared on Xi Yu's 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, neither of them giving in. Their hair was disheveled, and their faces were filled with anger and ferocity.

The crowd around was in a commotion and moved away one after another, fearing that they would be affected.

Xi Yu frowned and quickly stretched out his hand to separate the two, shouting, "Stop fighting, talk it over!"

However, the two had already gotten into a fierce argument at this point, completely ignoring Xi Yu's dissuasion.

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

Xi Yu became very anxious upon seeing this. He tried to separate the two with force, but the two were entangled with each other like wild bulls.

The people around began to point and talk, but no one dared to step forward to help.

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

When they heard the words "report to the police", the two women finally stopped.

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

Xi Yu looked at the two of them, shook his head, sighed and said, "Why do you have to do this? Is there anything that can't be discussed properly?"

The two women looked at each other and lowered their heads guiltily.

Xi Yu took the opportunity to say, "You guys' quarreling like this will not only fail to solve the problem, but will also affect business. Why don't you sit down calmly and have a good talk."

One of the women grumbled, “But the price she sells the vegetables for is too low. I can’t do business at all.”

Another woman responded, not to be outdone: "Is it wrong for me to sell cheaply? Everyone likes to buy cheap vegetables."

Xi Yu smiled and said, "You all have your own reasons, but arguing like this is not a solution. Why don't you discuss and find a price that both parties can accept. This will not only protect your business, but also avoid quarrels."

After hearing this, the two women were silent for a while.

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

Seeing that the two people's emotions had calmed down a lot, Xi Yu smiled with relief.

The people around also applauded, praising Xi Yu's wit and bravery.

Xi Yu led everyone to continue strolling in the street, but he was thinking in his heart how to make this place more prosperous and harmonious.

Tuoba Yu frowned and said seriously: "Someone is causing trouble in the vegetable market. This is a big deal! As an official here, Liu Bei is guilty of negligence." His eyes were sharp, staring straight at Xi Yu.

Xi Yu smiled slightly, shook his head, and said in a relaxed tone: "Why make false accusations? It's just a small matter. Even in a prosperous place, there will inevitably be people causing trouble." He looked calm, as if he didn't care about the matter.

Xiao Hong, who was standing by, laughed mischievously after hearing this: "If that's the case, then the Prime Minister is also guilty, isn't he?"

There was a playful look 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 smiled helplessly and stopped dwelling on this issue.

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

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

But when I learned that Xiyu didn't blame me, I finally breathed a sigh of relief. Yes, Xiyu was really understanding.

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