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

The woman raised her head and was slightly stunned when she saw Tuoba Yu's anxious look.

She sighed and said, "I just heard about it, I don't know the details. I only know that the prime minister's son died suddenly, and it seems that he was killed by some evil person."

Tuoba Yu's expression became more solemn, and anger surged in her heart.

"Evil guy? Who is so cruel?" she said through gritting her teeth.

The woman shook her head and said, "I don't know about that."

Tuoba Yu nodded slightly, his heart filled with worry about Xi Yu.

She mounted her horse again and galloped towards Youzhou.

The night was deep and a thin layer of fog filled the Youzhou border crossing in the early morning.

Tuoba Yu came slowly on horseback, the sound of horse hooves was particularly clear in the silent night.

The soldiers guarding the border crossing immediately became alert, holding their weapons tightly, and shouted loudly: "Who are you? Do you have the necessary documents?"

Their eyes were full of vigilance as they glanced around nervously in the dark.

Tuoba Yu stopped his horse, raised his head slightly, and said in a clear and firm voice: "I am Madam Tuoba."

The soldiers were slightly stunned when they heard Tuoba Yu's answer, and then looked at her carefully.

In the dim light, they saw Tuoba Yu's familiar face.

She was wearing a tight-fitting outfit, her long hair fluttering in the wind, and her eyes were shining with determination.

"It's Madam Tuoba!" The soldiers all showed surprised expressions, and there was a bit more respect in their tone.

So they made way for her and said respectfully, "Madam, please come in."

Tuoba Yu nodded the horse's head lightly, and the horse quickly galloped towards Youzhou City.

Tuoba Yu rode his horse slowly into the city. The sound of horse hooves echoed in the quiet streets, sounding particularly clear.

The whole city was quiet, as if it was in a deep sleep.

The faint moonlight sprinkled on the stone road, casting a faint silver glow.

Tuoba Yu looked around, seeing the closed doors and windows and the empty streets, and a sense of emotion welled up in his heart.

The once bustling and prosperous Youzhou City is now so quiet.

She felt a little sleepy and slightly tired.

The continuous march made her eyes bloodshot, and her eyelids felt so heavy that they seemed like they would close at any moment.

However, when she thought of Xi Yu and Xi Ping'an, the power in her heart surged up again.

Tuoba Yu held the reins tightly and said to himself, "I can't stop. I must move forward bravely."

There was a determination gleam in her eyes and a hint of stubbornness on her tired face.

The horse seemed to sense her determination and moved forward more steadily.

Tuoba Yu straightened his body, faced the breeze, and walked towards the direction of the Prime Minister's Mansion.

She knew that what awaited her might be unknown difficulties and challenges, but she was not afraid.

In this silent night, Tuoba Yu was like a brave warrior, moving firmly towards his goal.

Tuoba Yu rode his horse and slowly stopped in front of the Prime Minister's Mansion.

She looked up at the familiar gate, feeling a mixture of emotions in her heart.

Memories of the past flooded into my mind like a tide, and every moment I spent here with Xiyu seemed like it was just yesterday.

Her eyes revealed complex emotions including longing, worry, and a hint of nervousness.

The soldiers guarding the gate were originally feeling a little sleepy, and their heads were nodding.

However, the moment they saw Tuoba Yu, their eyes widened with disbelief on their faces.

They rubbed their eyes hard, thinking they were seeing things.

"This...is this Madam Tuoba?" a soldier whispered.

"It's really Madam Tuoba!" another soldier said in surprise.

They looked at Tuoba Yu with eyes full of surprise and awe.

Tuoba Yu raised his chin slightly and looked at them firmly.

"I am Tuoba Yu." Tuoba Yu's voice was clear and firm.

The soldiers' faces were filled with excitement, and their eyes were sparkling with excitement.

One of the soldiers said anxiously: "The Prime Minister has been worried about Madam Tuoba. I didn't expect you to finally come back. Madam, please come in."

They all stepped aside to make way for Tuoba Yu, their eyes full of anticipation and joy.

Tuoba Yu's heart moved slightly, and when she heard the soldiers' words, a warm feeling surged in her heart.

She nodded slightly, quickened her pace to enter the Prime Minister's Mansion, and then went straight to Xi Yu's room.

Her heart beat faster involuntarily, and Xi Yu's face kept appearing in her mind.

Finally arriving at the door of Xiyu's room, she raised her hand and knocked gently.

Xi Yu was awakened from his sleep by the slight knock on the door, and a trace of displeasure arose in his heart.

He frowned, his voice full of fatigue and questioning: "Who is it?"

When Tuoba Yu heard Xi Yu's voice, his hand paused slightly and stopped in mid-air.

She suddenly felt nervous and hesitant, and didn't know how to answer.

She opened her mouth, but no sound came out.

In the room, Xi Yu didn't hear any response, and became even more confused.

He sat up, ready to ask again.

At this time, Tuoba Yu was standing outside the door, with a lot of thoughts in his mind.

She didn't know how to face Xi Yu, nor did she know how he would react when he saw her.

She clenched her hands tightly together, nervously waiting for Xi Yu's next move.

Xi Yu walked out of the room slowly, with a hint of fatigue and confusion in his heart.

When his gaze turned forward, his whole body froze in place as if struck by lightning.

The person standing in front of him was actually Tuoba Yu.

Xi Yu's eyes were full of shock and disbelief.

His lips trembled slightly, and his heart seemed to skip a few beats. "How...how is this possible?"

He kept asking himself this question in his heart.

Tuoba Yu just stood there quietly, his eyes revealing complex emotions, including longing, expectation, and a hint of subtle nervousness.

Xi Yu rubbed his eyes hard, as if he couldn't believe what he saw.

"Am I hallucinating?" His mind was in a mess.

However, when he opened his eyes again, Tuoba Yu was still standing there. It was real, not a dream.

An indescribable joy surged in Xi Yu's heart.

The two of them just looked at each other quietly, and time seemed to freeze at this moment.

Everything around them became blurry, only each other's figures were clearly visible.

After a while, Xi Yu finally broke the silence.

"Tuoba Yu...is it really you?" His voice trembled slightly, with a hint of uncertainty.

Tuoba Yu didn't say anything, but just nodded slightly. Her eyes were a little red, and tears were welling up in them.

Xi Yu took a few steps forward, his steps somewhat staggering, his heart filled with excitement and emotion.

"I thought I'd never see you again."

Tuoba Yu finally couldn't hold back his tears.

"I also thought...I thought I would never see you again."

Xi Yu opened his arms and Tuoba Yu quickly threw himself into his arms.

Xiyu hugged her tightly, as if he was afraid that she would disappear again.

He could feel Tuoba Yu's body trembling slightly. He gently stroked her hair, his heart full of pity.

"From now on, we will never be separated again." Xiyu whispered in Tuoba Yu's ear.

Tuoba Yu nodded vigorously.

"Never to be apart again."

They hugged each other tightly, feeling each other's warmth and heartbeat.

At this moment, it seemed as if there were only the two of them left in the world, and all the troubles and pains disappeared.

Xiyu hugged Tuoba Yu tightly and walked into the room quickly. He had thousands of words in his heart, as if he wanted to pour them all out at this moment.

Tuoba Yu leaned in Xiyu's arms, and said with a guilty look on her face: "It's all my fault for being willful. That's why we've gone through so many twists and turns." Xiyu looked at her tenderly, shook his head gently, and said: "Don't say anything, I've forgiven you. I only care about where you have been during this period and whether you have been doing well."

There was a touch of emotion in Tuoba Yu's eyes. She lowered her eyelids slightly and began to narrate a series of events that had happened recently.

"After I left in anger that day, my heart was filled with regret, but I didn't know how to turn back..."

Xi Yu listened to Tuoba Yu's story, his face full of shock and heartache.

He never imagined that Tuoba Yu would go through such an ordeal as amnesia.

"So it was Taoist priests Qingfeng and Mingyue who helped you. We must remember this kindness in our hearts. When I have time, I will take you to Kunlun Mountain to thank them in person."

Xi Yu said solemnly, his eyes full of gratitude and respect.

At this moment, Tuoba Yu suddenly yawned.

Seeing this, Xi Yu felt full of pity.

He looked at Tuoba Yu tenderly and said softly, "You must be tired. Go back to your room and rest. Have a good sleep and get rid of all the fatigue of these days."

Tuoba Yu nodded slightly, with a hint of fatigue in her eyes. Xi Yu gently helped her up, as if protecting the most precious treasure in the world, and slowly walked towards her room.

He made the bed for Tuoba Yu and carefully covered her with a quilt.

Looking at Tuoba Yu's peaceful sleeping face, Xi Yu felt a warm feeling in his heart.

The atmosphere in the room suddenly became heated.

Xi Yu felt as if a long-drought had finally brought him a downpour. The emotions that had been suppressed in his heart for a long time completely burst out at this moment.

He threw himself on Tuoba Yu, his eyes full of affection and desire.

Tuoba Yu was slightly startled, then a blush appeared on his face, and the same emotion was revealed in his eyes.

The two hugged each other tightly, feeling each other's warmth and heartbeat.

After the passion, there was still a hint of confusion in Tuoba Yu's eyes, but soon, her expression became solemn.

"Husband, is Xi Ping'an really dead? I always feel that something is fishy. Are you acting?"

Tuoba Yu stared at Xi Yu closely, trying to find the answer from his expression.

Xi Yu was slightly startled. He didn't expect Tuoba Yu to notice it so quickly.

After a moment of silence, he sighed and said, "You are indeed perceptive. Since you have already noticed something, I will not hide it from you. Xi Ping'an is indeed not dead. This is all a trap set by me."

Tuoba Yu waited for Xi Yu to continue explaining. Xi Yu said slowly: "The situation was very critical at the time, and we were facing a powerful enemy. In order to protect Xi Ping'an and to let the enemy relax their vigilance, I had to create the illusion that Xi Ping'an was dead. I secretly transferred him to a safe place and waited for the right time to let him appear."

"Where is Xi Ping'an now? Is he safe?" Tuoba Yu asked with concern.

Xi Yu held Tuoba Yu's hand and said, "Don't worry, he is safe. He is in a secret place now and is under special protection. When the time is right, we can bring him back into everyone's sight."

Tuoba Yu nodded, and the doubts in his heart were finally dispelled.

Xi Yu gently stroked Tuoba Yu's hair and said softly, "Okay, you should have a good rest. This matter must be kept secret, and no one should know that Xi Ping'an is still alive, otherwise all our previous efforts will be in vain."

Tuoba Yu raised his head slightly, looked into Xiyu's eyes, and said firmly: "Don't worry, I will keep my mouth shut. This matter is of great importance, I will not take it lightly."

Xiyu showed a relieved smile and kissed Tuoba Yu lightly on the forehead.

"Go to sleep, everything will be fine when you wake up." He said softly.

The next day, Song Shuwen woke up slowly, his head still a little dizzy.

He slowly opened his eyes. He didn't know how long he had been unconscious, nor did he know whether it was day or night.

Just then, he heard a slight sound of footsteps.

Then, a voice sounded: "Eat quickly when you wake up. After eating, you must answer whether you agree with the boss's request. Remember, don't make conditions just because you know medical skills."

Song Shuwen wolfed down the food; he was really hungry.

The taste of the food spread in his mouth, making him feel extremely satisfied. As he ate, he thought about his situation in his mind.

"The situation is very bad now. I am trapped here and I don't know what the situation is like outside. If I don't agree to their demands, it will be difficult for me to survive. But if I agree, I don't know what consequences I will face." Song Shuwen's heart was full of contradictions.

At this moment, the person who delivered the meal came in again. He looked at Song Shuwen and asked, "Have you thought about it? What do you think?"

He took a deep breath and said, "I am willing to agree to the boss's request."

The person who brought the food showed a satisfied smile: "Very good, a man who knows the times is a hero. Don't worry, as long as you are obedient, the boss will not treat you unfairly."

Song Shuwen lowered his head slightly and sighed inwardly. "I don't want this to happen, but I have no choice but to survive. I'll survive first and then find a chance to get rid of their control later." He thought silently in his heart.

The person who delivered the meal gave some further instructions and then turned and left.

Song Shuwen sat there with a heavy heart.

He didn't know whether his decision was right, but he knew that now he had to take one step at a time and wait for the opportunity.

A moment later, Song Shuwen keenly heard a slight sound of footsteps approaching from afar.

His heart suddenly tightened, knowing that it was that person coming in again.

Soon, the man came in front of him and put the mask on him again without saying a word.

"Follow me," the man said briefly.

Song Shuwen did not resist. He stood up obediently and followed the man.

They walked for a while, and Song Shuwen felt as if he was in a strange and mysterious world.

Finally, they stopped. Song Shuwen guessed that he had come to Old Song's place again, but the mask was not taken off.

We also need to go to Lao Song’s mother’s house.

Old Song's voice rang in his ears: "Song Shuwen, have you thought about it?"

Song Shuwen's throat was a little dry. He nodded slightly and said, "Yes."

Old Song looked at Song Shuwen, a hint of satisfaction flashed in his eyes, and said, "Very good."

Then he waved his hand, signaling his men to take Song Shuwen away.

Before Song Shuwen could react, he was pushed forward.

Soon, Song Shuwen got on a carriage.

As soon as he sat down, he heard a slight breathing sound coming from beside him.

He knew that the cook was also in the carriage to prevent him from removing the blindfold.

Song Shuwen felt helpless, but he also understood that resistance was useless in this situation.

He simply stopped thinking about anything, leaned against the wall of the carriage, and let the carriage carry him forward.

The carriage was shaking as it moved, making a creaking sound.

The carriage slowly stopped, and Song Shuwen's heart began to lift.

The person who delivered the meal jumped off the carriage first, then reached out and pulled Song Shuwen down.

Song Shuwen's steps were a little unsteady.

The person who delivered the meal took Song Shuwen into the village without saying a word.

This is an ordinary village with houses scattered around, smoke rising from the chimneys, and the air filled with the scent of earth and grass.

Finally, they came to a farmer's house.

The person delivering the food stopped, turned around, looked at Song Shuwen, and said, "We're here."

Then he reached out and took off Song Shuwen's blindfold.

Song Shuwen blinked his eyes and adjusted to the sudden light.

What appeared before him was an ordinary farmyard.

There are some vegetables and flowers planted in the yard, and an old hen is foraging for food with a few chicks.

The house is built with adobe and wood. Although simple, it gives people a warm feeling.

Just as Song Shuwen was sitting in the house thinking, a man slowly walked out of the house next door. When the person delivering the meal saw the man, he nodded quickly and said respectfully: "This is the miracle doctor Song Shuwen brought by the boss. Hurry up and treat the old man."

Hearing this, the man looked at Song Shuwen, looked him up and down, and then said in a calm tone: "Come in."

Song Shuwen stood up and followed the man.

As he walked, the man said, "I am Old Song's younger brother, my name is Song Dabao."

As Song Dabao walked into the room, a stale smell hit him.

The light in the room was a little dim. A simple bed was placed in the middle of the room, and an old woman was lying on it.

The old woman's face was pale, her eyes were closed, and she looked very weak.

Song Shuwen walked to the bedside and carefully observed the old woman's complexion and pulse.

His brows furrowed slightly as he pondered the possibility of the illness.

Song Dabao looked at Song Shuwen nervously and asked, "How is it? Can my mother's disease be cured?"

Song Shuwen was silent for a moment, then said, "It's hard to say at the moment. I need to learn more about the condition."

Song Dabao showed a trace of anxiety on his face and said, "Then I'll trouble you. You must cure my mother's illness." Song Shuwen nodded slightly and began to ask about the old woman's symptoms and medical history. (End of this chapter)
