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

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?"

Luo Sitian glared at him and shouted, "What are you still standing there for? Go and help! We must find the whereabouts of Zahu and those soldiers!"

The subordinate was so scared that he nodded quickly and hurriedly left the room.

Ross Tianer took a deep breath and tried to calm himself down.

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

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

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

Xi Yu and his group finally arrived near the royal palace. There were crowds of people and shops everywhere. It was indeed a very prosperous place in the Kushan Empire.

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

As soon as I sat down, I heard many people around me talking about it.

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

A young man next to him echoed, "Yes, and the state affairs are handed over to the favorite minister Ross Tianer to handle. Can people be assured of this?"

Xi Yu listened to their discussion and thought to himself, "It seems that the situation in Kushan is quite complicated. I'm afraid this trip will not go smoothly."

Ouyang Linlin was furious and couldn't help but say, "This king is doing this. Isn't he afraid that the people will suffer?"

Xi Yu quickly signaled her to be quiet, while looking around vigilantly.

Ouyang Linlin frowned and said to Xi Yu anxiously, "Let's not worry about what's happening here. Let's go directly to the temple." Her eyes revealed a hint of anxiety and uneasiness.

Xi Yu crossed his arms across his chest, his expression firm, and retorted without hesitation: "No! We must consider the affairs of the inn." He thought to himself, how can the affairs of the inn be let go so easily.

At this moment, Song Shuwen's eyes turned, and he suddenly raised his voice and suggested: "Why not write a letter and have someone take it to the palace." There was a hint of expectation on his face, and he seemed very confident in his idea.

Xi Yu pondered for a moment, a gleam of approval flashed in his eyes, and he said, "Well, this method is feasible." As he said that, he turned and walked towards the inn. After a while, he asked the inn for paper and pen to write a letter.

After finishing writing 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 we walked, a group of soldiers patrolling the road appeared in front of us.

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

The soldier frowned, looking puzzled, his eyes full of suspicion and disdain, and asked loudly: "What qualifications do a few Central Plains people have to give me orders?"

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

The soldier was stunned when he heard this, his heart skipped a beat, and he thought to himself: "I heard that the higher-ups are investigating this matter, isn't this just perfect?" The expression on his face changed instantly, from the initial arrogance to a little hesitation.

He stared at the letter in Xiyu's hand with flickering eyes, and finally reached out to take it.

Xi Yu nodded slightly and said, "Thank you, General."

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

Just as the soldier was about to turn around, he suddenly stopped Xi Yu, with a serious and somewhat puzzled look on his face, and asked loudly: "Wait! Tell me clearly first, how did you know about Zahu's death? Now, you must go with us to see the king!"

Xi Yu's heart tightened, but he quickly regained his composure. With a smile on his face, his eyes were filled with scrutiny. He said to Song Shuwen, "What do you think? Even if we don't want to see the king, we can't."

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

The soldier led a few of them and walked quickly forward.

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

On the way, Xi Yu inadvertently looked up and saw a woman's back. Her figure and walking posture were very similar to Tuoba Yu. His eyes widened instantly, his face full of disbelief and surprise, and he became particularly out of control.

Without waiting for others to react, he rushed over regardless of everything, shouting loudly: "Tuoba Yu!" 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. He reached out to grab Xi Yu and shouted, "How dare you run around!"

Ouyang Linlin was also startled, but quickly came to her senses, hurriedly stopped the soldier, and said anxiously: "Sir, please calm down. My husband has recognized the wrong person. He will be back soon." Her eyes were full of pleading, but in her heart she was secretly blaming Xi Yu for his impulsiveness.

The soldier frowned, looking dissatisfied, but still stopped and said viciously: "Hurry up! Don't delay!"

Xi Yu hurried to the woman in a panic and grabbed her shoulders without hesitation.

The woman was startled by this sudden action. She turned her head sharply, her eyes wide open, her face full of horror. Then her eyebrows were raised and she shouted angrily: "You lecher, how dare you act like a hooligan in the street!"

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

His heart skipped a beat and he thought to himself, "Oh no! I recognized the wrong person!"

He quickly let go of her hand, kept bending and bowing, his face flushed, and said anxiously: "Miss, I am really sorry, I was reckless and recognized the wrong person. I hope that young lady will be magnanimous and don't blame me."

After hearing Xi Yu's apology, the woman's face was still very ugly. She crossed her arms over her chest, glared at Xi Yu and said, "Wrong person? Your excuse is too far-fetched! You dared to touch me in broad daylight. We can't just let this go!"

Xi Yu was embarrassed, with beads of sweat on his forehead. He quickly apologized again sincerely: "Miss, I really recognized the wrong person in the heat of the moment. I did not mean to offend you. I am willing to make amends, and I only ask for your forgiveness."

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

Seeing this, Ouyang Linlin hurried forward and said to the woman with an apologetic smile, "Miss, I'm really sorry. My husband missed his old friend so much that he made such a foolish mistake. I hope you can forgive me."

The soldier impatiently urged: "Stop dawdling and hurry up! The king is waiting!"

Seeing that they were sincere, the woman's expression softened a little. She snorted and said, "Forget it this time, but if it happens again, I will not let you off easily!"

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

Afterwards, the group continued to walk towards the palace, but Xi Yu could not calm down for a long time, and his heart was full of regret for his impulsive behavior.

Xi Yu followed behind the team, his face so gloomy that it seemed as if water could drip out of it.

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

His heart was in a mess, and he kept thinking: "Tuoba Yu, where are you? Are you suffering in some corner? Or have you forgotten me..."

Every time he thought of this, his heart felt like it was being plucked by an invisible giant hand, causing him so much pain that he could hardly breathe.

The sun shone on his face, but it could not dispel the haze in his heart. He was immersed in his thoughts and worries about Tuoba Yu, and was completely unaware of the gazes of the people around him.

Ouyang Linlin and Xiaohong also looked at each other, their faces full of confusion and worry. Ouyang Linlin frowned slightly, her eyes full of confusion, thinking to herself: "Where did Tuoba Yu go? Did he leave just for such a small matter?"

She sighed softly. Although deep down she hoped that there would be no other women around Xiyu, at this moment, thinking of the past, she couldn't help but feel a little worried.

Xiao Hong bit her lip and whispered, "Madam, this Madam Tuoba Yu is really something. She left without any news."

Ouyang Linlin shook her head helplessly and said, "No matter what, I hope she will be safe."

After saying that, he turned and looked at Xi Yu, who was still immersed in his own thoughts, with a hint of complex emotions flashing in his eyes.

Just then, they passed through an alley.

Xi Yu and others were attracted by the noisy noise in front of them, and saw that many soldiers were in conflict with civilians.

The faces of the common people were filled with anger and helplessness, while the faces of the soldiers were filled with ferocious ferocity.

A soldier leader glared, waved the whip in his hand, and shouted loudly: "You country bumpkins are so ignorant! When the country is in crisis, you don't even let your family members join the army!" His face was full of anger and disdain, as if the people in front of him were all ignorant fools.

An old man stood out tremblingly and said in a shaking voice: "Sir, you are the only child in our family. How are we going to live if he joins the army?" His eyes were full of pleading and his body was shaking slightly with fear.

Another soldier stepped forward, pushed the old man viciously, and cursed: "Stop talking nonsense! This is the king's order, you have no say in it!"

Xi Yu frowned, his heart filled with indignation, thinking to himself: "How can such a forced levy win the support of the people?"

Xiaohong was so scared that she hid at the back, looking timidly at the chaotic scene in front of her.

Xi Yu and a few others stopped and looked at the chaotic scene in front of them with serious eyes.

Xi Yu clenched his fists, frowned, and his eyes revealed a mixture of anger and helplessness. He thought to himself: "How can the people live in peace with such violent levies?"

Ouyang Linlin looked worried, tugged at Xiyu's sleeve, 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! Go away! 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 Xiaohong.

On the other hand, that day, after Tuoba Yu left, she felt regretful before she had gone far. "How could I be so impulsive? How could I just leave him like this?" She murmured to herself, turning around hurriedly, wanting to go back to find Xiyu.

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

Suddenly, Tuoba Yu staggered. “Ouch!” she screamed and threw herself forward.

This time she fell very hard and her head hit a rock significantly. She felt a black screen in front of her eyes and then she fell to the ground and passed out.

Later, an old hunter passed by with his prey on his back and found Tuoba Yu unconscious on the roadside. He quickly put down the prey, carefully carried Tuoba Yu on his back and took him back to his home.

That day, Tuoba Yu woke up slowly, and she slowly opened her eyes, her eyes were confused and empty. She frowned, trying hard to recall something, but found that her mind was blank.

When the old hunter saw her wake up, a relieved smile immediately appeared on his face, his eyes full of concern, and he quickly came forward to greet her: "Girl, you are finally awake!"

Tuoba Yu had a look of fear and confusion on her face, and asked in 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, then he 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, when you recover, maybe you will remember it."

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

The old hunter patted her shoulder gently and comforted her: "Girl, don't worry, this may only be temporary. You should have a good rest first. The most important thing is to take good care of your body."

Tuoba Yu bit his lip and nodded, but his heart was still in a mess, filled with fear of the unknown.

Over the next few days, under the careful care of the old hunter, Tuoba Yu gradually regained some strength, but his memory still did not return.

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

The old hunter saw it and felt pain in his heart. He tried every means to tell Tuoba Yu some interesting stories in an attempt to ease her anxiety.

One day, Tuoba Yu suddenly said to the old hunter: "Uncle, I want to go out for a walk, maybe I can remember something."

The old hunter hesitated for a moment, but finally nodded and agreed: "Okay, girl, but you have to be careful."

Tuoba Yu walked out of the room, the sunlight shone on her, but her heart was still shrouded in gloom.

But the old hunter was still worried about Tuoba Yu walking alone. He stood at the door, looking at Tuoba Yu's back as she walked away, frowning, and muttering to himself: "This girl doesn't remember anything. What if something happens to her?"

After thinking it over, he decided to follow secretly.

Tuoba Yu walked on the road, her expression dazed and her eyes wandering, trying to search for even a trace of familiarity in her mind. But every attempt ended in disappointment, and her face was full of frustration and confusion.

The old hunter following behind felt distressed when he saw Tuoba Yu like this.

Tuoba Yu walked for a while, still without any clue, finally sighed helplessly, turned around and walked towards the old hunter's home again. Her steps were heavy, her eyes were dim, and her heart was full of loss.

When the old hunter saw her coming back, he quickly hid aside. After Tuoba Yu entered the house, he quietly returned to his original position and pretended nothing had happened.

On the other side, Xiaohong followed the team and beads of sweat appeared on her forehead. She panted and asked the soldier with a tired face: "Sir, how long will it take to get there?"

The soldier turned his head and looked at her, frowning slightly, and said impatiently: "Why are you in such a hurry? Just go in peace!"

Xiao Hong pouted and complained in her heart: "Humph, I know you are a vicious person. I am just tired."

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

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: "I told you to mind your own business, so don't ask any more questions."

When the soldier heard this, he immediately became angry. His eyes widened, his face flushed, and he roared, "How dare you people from the Central Plains be so domineering on the territory of the Kushan Empire?" As he said that, he raised his hand high and was about to hit Xi Yu.

Xi Yu sneered, his eyes cold, and said, "It's best not to slap him, 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 widened and he stammered, "What? Zahu was..."

His heart was like a turbulent sea, filled with shock and fear. He had never expected the situation to be like this.

The soldier's hands trembled as he slowly lowered them. Beads of sweat appeared on his forehead, and his voice became trembling: "How is this possible? Who are you? Why do you want to kill Zahu?"

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

The soldier swallowed his saliva, his eyes full of panic and helplessness, muttering to himself: "What should I do? What should I do?"

Ouyang Linlin interrupted and said, "General, we came here to tell the king the truth. We have no intention of becoming 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)
