Liu Maohai's eyes were sharp and his tone said indignantly: "That guy Xi Yu is respectful to the emperor on the surface, but in fact he is secretly slapped the emperor. His ambition is obvious! Now that plagues are raging everywhere, this is clearly God's punishment for him!"

After saying that, he turned to look at Liu Bei, with expectation in his eyes, as if he was waiting for Liu Bei's response.

Liu Bei remained silent, but his heart was filled with ups and downs.

He knew very well that what Liu Maohai said was not without reason, but rebellion was not easy, and the interests involved were too complicated.

He thought to himself: Xi Yu's true intention is hard to guess, and my loyalty to the emperor is meticulous. However, rebellion... this step is really dangerous, and if you are not careful, you will be doomed.

Seeing that Liu Bei did not speak, Liu Maohai said anxiously: "Liu Bei, why don't you speak? You are loyal to the emperor. Shouldn't you stand up and rebel and overthrow Xi Yu at this time?"

Liu Bei felt nervous, and he could not imagine the consequences of the rebellion.

He calmed down and said slowly: "The rebellion is of great importance and involves many things, and we still need to worry about it for a long time."

Liu Maohai sighed, feeling a little disappointed, but he also understood Liu Bei's concerns.

Liu Maohai looked firm and stared at Liu Bei tightly, saying, "Liu Bei, I have a plan. The Xianbei people are strong and they are eager to enter the Central Plains. We can use their power to fight against Xi Yu. You can go back and think carefully!"

Liu Maohai's lips raised slightly, looked at Liu Bei with a smile, and said softly: "Of course, Liu Bei, if you want to be rich and prosperous, you can choose to betray me."

Liu Bei suddenly raised his head, his eyes widened, and he glared at Liu Maohai, his face full of anger and determination. He raised his voice and said righteously: "I, Liu Bei, are definitely not a traitor. I will never betray my brothers!"

Liu Maohai said, "Forget it, you think about it yourself. I will contact you again if I have time."

Liu Bei returned to the palace and sat alone in front of the desk, frowned, and his eyes revealed his inner conflicts and struggles.

He murmured and said, "Xi Yu is powerful and powerful, and he is really powerful. If I fight him, the risk is really great." There was a hint of helplessness in his tone.

Then he stood up and paced back and forth in the hall, stopping occasionally, staring at the map on the wall, as if thinking about strategies.

"But I also really hope to build my own career, to bring down Xi Yu, and to seek welfare for the people of the world." Liu Bei's eyes flashed with desire and determination.

However, a look of worry soon appeared on his face, and he thought: "But if you take a wrong step and lose everything, I may end up with a tragic end..."

Liu Bei fell into deep entanglement.

He didn't know how to make a decision, and there seemed to be two voices quarreling in his heart.

Finally, he sighed heavily, sat back in front of the desk, rubbed his forehead with his hands, his face full of fatigue and confusion.

On the other side, Xi Yu looked at Ma Lin with a serious face and said firmly: "I decided to go to Qingzhou and check the plague situation there in person."

Marin looked worried and hurriedly advised: "Sir, don't go. It's too dangerous to go there. Stay here is the best way."

His tone was earnest and anxious.

Xi Yu shook his head slightly, carried his hands behind his back, and said firmly: "As the prime minister, how can I ignore the sufferings of the people? I must understand the truth before I can come up with a solution."

Ma Lin frowned and continued to persuade: "But sir, if you go to Qingzhou, if you are infected by the plague, the consequences will be unimaginable!"

Xi Yu comforted, "Don't worry, I will be careful to protect myself. Besides, if you are infected, you may also be infected here. Guan Yu is brave and good at fighting, and I feel at ease with him here."

As he said that, he looked at Guan Yu, with a sense of trust in his eyes.

Guan Yu bowed his hand and said loudly: "Prime Minister, don't worry, Guan Yu will definitely guard this place."

Xi Yu nodded, turned around and set out on the way to Qingzhou.

Xianbei.

The Xianbei leader Tuoba Lu was burly, with a strong face, and a beard as hard as a steel needle.

There was a hint of wildness and unruly in his eyes, like a ferocious lion.

Tuoba Lu rushed into the tent angrily. Everyone couldn't help but feel sank when they saw him like this.

Tuoba Lu glared at everyone and roared: "Our tribe members are suffering. Many families are frozen to death in winter, but people in the Central Plains can live a normal life. God is really unfair!"

Everyone's hearts are filled with bitterness and helplessness.

Many people sighed secretly, thinking of the tragic situation last winter, and the faces of those who were frozen to death kept popping up in his mind.

Someone gritted his teeth and said fiercely: "Yes, why is God so unfair! Our nomadic peoples are wandering around every day and suffer from hunger and cold, but the people in the Central Plains can enjoy peace."

Tuoba Lu continued: "We can't continue like this anymore, we must find a way to change the status quo!"

Confidant Tian Chong was silent for a moment and said slowly: "But, what should we do? Will we go to war with the Central Plains? That will only bring us more pain."

Tuoba Lu frowned and thoughtfully said, "Maybe we can try to negotiate with the Central Plains to gain some space for our tribe."

Tian Chong felt aroused in his heart, thinking that this might be a feasible solution.

Tian Chong stood respectfully in front of Tuoba Lu, and said with a firm look on his face: "Sir, I will convey your wishes to Xi Yu and do my best to make this happen."

Tuoba Lu nodded, and a trace of expectation flashed in his eyes.

Among the Xianbei tribes, people were talking.

The supporters sat together, and one of the old men said excitedly: "The leader's decision is correct, it is for the sake of our future!" His eyes were shining with hope.

Another young warrior also echoed: "Yes, when entering the Central Plains, we can engage in commercial transactions, develop agricultural production, and live a stable life." His face was filled with longing for the future.

The opposition people looked worried.

A middle-aged man frowned and said, "But if we enter the Central Plains, wouldn't we be assimilated by the Central Plains people and lose our traditions and characteristics?" His tone was filled with a hint of reluctance.

A young man next to him also echoed: "Yes, our culture and customs will be gradually forgotten!" A worried expression appeared on his face.

The two factions have different opinions and argue endlessly.

Tian Chong looked at all this and felt mixed feelings. He knew the importance of this mission, but he also understood the differences within the Xianbei tribe.

He secretly made up his mind to try his best to convince Xi Yu and strive for a bright future for the Xianbei people.

In the end, Tuoba Lu was willing to let Tian Chong go to Xi Yu.

If Xi Yu disagrees, then just fight.

The opposition still opposed it. But helplessly, they still have to obey.

Tuoba Lu quickly walked into his tent, and saw Tuoba Yu sitting on the couch, looking sad.

Tuoba Yu gave birth to skin like snow, eyebrows like distant darkness, eyes like autumn water, and lips without touching it.

She wore a unique Xianbei costume, which was very different from the styles of the people in the Central Plains. The decorations and patterns on the costumes were full of national characteristics.

When Tuoba Yu saw his brother coming in, he immediately stood up, with tears in his eyes and said coquettishly: "Brother, why did you drive my beloved man out of the Xianbei?" Her voice was filled with grievance and dissatisfaction.

Tuoba Lu looked at his sister, sighed helplessly, and said, "Yu'er, I'm doing this for your own good." His eyes were full of love and concern.

Tuoba Yu stamped her feet and said excitedly: "For my good? Do you know how much I love him!" Her face was full of stubbornness.

Tuoba Lu frowned and said seriously: "That man is not a good match, he is not suitable for you."

Tuoba Yu retorted: "He treats me very well, I don't care!"

Tuoba Lu's tone gradually became stern: "Yu'er, don't be willful! The future of our Xianbei people is more important!"

Tuoba Yu burst into tears and cried, "Brother, you are too selfish!"

Tuoba Lu felt a stinging pain in his heart, but he still said firmly: "I am considering our tribe."

The brother and sister quarreled endlessly, and no one could convince each other.

Tuoba Yu turned around and rushed out of the tent without looking back.

After a while, Tuoba Yu's girl ran over hurriedly and said to Tuoba Lu panting: "Chief, it's not good! Miss... She left the Xianbei and said she was going to find the man she liked."

The girl's face was full of anxiety.

After hearing this, Tuoba Lu's face turned pale in an instant. He widened his eyes and shouted angrily: "What? She is so willful!"

His fists clenched and the veins swelled up.

The girl was so scared that she trembled and said in a trembling voice: "Sir, Miss, she is just too sad..."

Tuoba Lu interrupted her angrily: "Sad? Why is she so ignorant! Since she is gone, don't come back!"

After saying that, Tuoba Lu sat heavily on the chair, frowned, his eyes full of helplessness and worry.

The girl looked at Tuoba Lu, lowered her head silently, and turned around and left.

After hearing the news that his sister Tuoba Yu left Xianbei to find her beloved, the anger in her heart instantly rose.

He thought to himself: "It's such a nonsense! Now the Xianbei is in a troublesome situation, with internal and external troubles, and the situation is serious. But at this critical moment, her sister ran away desperately for her children's love. How could she be so confused!"

His brows were frowning, his eyes filled with anger and disappointment.

"Sister, sister, why can't you understand my painstaking efforts? Everything I did is for the future of the Xianbei and the stability of our tribe. But you only think about your own feelings and do not care about the overall situation at all."

Tuoba Lu sighed helplessly, feeling a tingling pain in his heart.

He knew very well that the outside world was full of dangers and uncertainty, and his sister might encounter many difficulties when she went there.

He secretly prayed that his sister would be safe and sound, and at the same time made up his mind to protect the Xianbei no matter what, so that his tribe members could live a stable life.

Xi Yu was anxious and ran all the way, sweat wet his clothes.

Jia Xu's store is in Qingzhou.

Jia Xu looked haggard and lay on the bed, coughing from time to time.

More and more people are getting sick, and drug shops everywhere are overcrowded.
