Chapter 613 Poison(1/2)
Before Ouyang Linlin could put down the poker in her hand, she saw soldiers rushing to come.
She frowned slightly, and a trace of doubt surged in her heart.
The soldier said anxiously: "Several ladies, something happened! There is important news!"
Ouyang Linlin put down her poker and showed a look of surprise on her face.
She widened her eyes and asked anxiously: "What's the matter? Say it!"
The soldier took a deep breath and told the truth about the matter in detail.
Ouyang Linlin and several other ladies listened, and their expressions gradually became shocked, their mouths opened slightly, and their eyes were full of disbelief and surprise.
They looked at each other and could see the astonishment in each other's eyes.
The poker in Ouyang Linlin's hands was scattered all over the table.
She stared at the soldiers in a daze, her face full of panic and worry.
The soldier hurriedly said, "Madam, don't worry, listen to me. Although this happened, everything will be fine when the Prime Minister comes back."
Ouyang Linlin frowned and bit her lips, with deep anxiety in her eyes.
The other wives were filled with shock and fear.
They looked at each other and lost the mood to continue playing poker.
A lady said anxiously: "What should I do?"
She frowned, her eyes full of worry, and her hands were tightly clasped together.
The other lady stood aside with a blank look on her face, muttering to herself: "How could this happen..."
Seeing this, the soldier hurriedly comforted him: "Madam, don't worry too much, I believe the Prime Minister must have a way to solve it."
But the wife's face still had an unconcealable panic.
After the soldiers left, the air seemed to have stalled.
A soldier suddenly said in annoyance: "Oh, did we do something wrong just now? Isn't this causing trouble for the ladies?"
Several women looked at each other and fell into silence.
After a while, one of the wives broke the silence and said, "What should we do? We have to think of a way!"
The other lady also agreed anxiously: "Yes, you can't just wait like this!"
Ouyang Linlin bit her lip and thoughts were everywhere.
She thought to herself: It’s not that something happened to uncle, Xi Yu, there is no need to worry too much.
But isn’t I a little selfish when I think about it this way? After all, my uncle is also a member of the family. She felt a burst of guilt coming to her heart.
Other ladies were still talking.
Ouyang Linlin fell into deep self-blame.
After the soldiers left, the atmosphere became dull.
A soldier stomped his feet in annoyance and said, "Oh, it shouldn't be like this. Isn't this a mess for the wife?"
A few women look at me, and I look at you, but I don’t know what to do.
Sun Shangxiang frowned and said with a serious expression: "It's useless to say anything. I can only wait until Xi Yu comes back."
Ouyang Linlin bit her lip, her face full of worry, but nodded helplessly.
Other wives also expressed their agreement.
Gradually, everyone dispersed like deflated balls.
There was still an uneasy atmosphere in the air, as if you could still see their lost backs when they left.
Ouyang Linlin stood there, fell into deep thought, her eyes a little dull.
Xiaohong walked forward, gently pulled Ouyang Linlin's neck of clothes, and comforted him: "Miss, don't be sad."
Ouyang Linlin slowly raised her head, her eyes full of confusion and pain.
She asked softly, "Xiaohong, am I too selfish?"
Xiaohong frowned slightly, and a look of heartache appeared on her face.
She said seriously: "Miss, this is not selfish. The Prime Minister means a lot to you, and it is normal for you to be particularly sad. Now I heard that something happened to Mr. Xi Zhicai, and you are not very sad. This is normal."
After hearing Xiaohong's words, Ouyang Linlin sighed softly, but the sorrow on her face still did not dissipate.
The third brother hurried home, and the second brother immediately met him and asked anxiously: "What's going on? What's going on?"
The third brother gasped and told the story all the time.
Xi Zhicai shouted from the side: "It's better to let me go. I can go and plead with Xi Yu and spare you three!"
When the boss heard this, he opened his eyes wide open, raised his hand suddenly, and slapped Xi Zhicai hard. His face turned red in an instant, and he gritted his teeth and said viciously: "If you say this again, you will kill you!"
Xi Zhicai was beaten to the point of bleeding from the corner of his mouth, but he still stared at the boss unwillingly, his eyes full of resentment.
There was a tense atmosphere in the room. The second child frowned and said dissatisfiedly: "Xi Yu hasn't come back for several days. Could it be that we still have to care about Xi Zhicai? It's so outrageous!"
The boss took a deep breath and tried to calm himself down.
He looked at Xi Zhicai and said helplessly: "Anyway, Xi Yu won't ignore his brother, so just wait a few days."
The third brother looked at the second brother, then looked at Xi Zhicai, and then said to the eldest brother: "Second brother, look at Xi Zhicai, brother, please go outside with me."
The eldest and the third brother walked slowly outside.
The third brother frowned and said worriedly: "Brother, do you think Xi Yu will take action against us regardless of his elder brother's life and death?"
The boss gritted his teeth and said firmly: "Impossible! Xi Yu is not that kind of person!"
The third brother shook his head, his face full of doubts, and said, "Xi Yu is the prime minister. Since ancient times, people who do big things have been cruel."
After hearing the third one's words, the boss showed a hint of hesitation on his face. His eyes began to wander, as if he was thinking about something.
The third brother approached the boss and lowered his voice and said, "Brother, we must prepare!"
The boss frowned and said with a serious look on his face: "It's better to act according to the opportunity."
His eyes were a little free, as if he was still weighing something.
The third brother said anxiously: "Now you must prepare! You can't wait any longer!"
The boss raised his head and looked at the third brother. A trace of confusion flashed in his eyes and murmured: "How to prepare? What can we do?"
The third brother approached the boss, lowered his voice, and said nervously: "Brother, why not just leave us here. Let the second brother leave. Once Xi Yu really takes action, he can save his bloodline."
He frowned, his eyes full of worry and determination.
The boss nodded slightly, with a thoughtful expression on his face.
After a moment, he slowly said, "Okay, just do that." A trace of determination flashed in his eyes.
The third brother turned his head and looked into the room, shouting to the second brother, "Second brother, come out!"
The second child walked out of the house, looked at the third child and the eldest child with confusion, and asked, "What's wrong?"
His brows frowned, his eyes full of confusion.
The second brother came outside with a puzzled look on his face and looked at the eldest brother and the third brother.
The boss took a deep breath and slowly expressed the third brother's worries and plans with a serious expression.
After hearing this, the second brother frowned and a trace of determination flashed across his face.
He said excitedly: "What the third brother said makes sense, but if you want to stay, I will stay. How can I be a person who is greedy for life and fear of death?"
His eyes were firm and persistent, staring at the boss tightly, and his chest was fluctuating violently, as if expressing his determination.
The boss looked at the dick, and a trace of emotion flashed in his eyes. He opened his mouth, trying to say something, but he didn't know how to speak.
At this time, the third brother hurried out of the house and said, "Anyway, Xi Zhicai can't run out, so why don't I come out too."
The second brother widened his eyes and said, "Third brother, you'll leave."
The third brother was not willing to be outdone and raised his voice and said, "Why do I leave? If you want to leave, you will leave!"
The two of them argued one by one, the second brother's face was full of stubbornness, and the third brother seemed a little excited.
At this time, the boss raised his hand to stop their quarrel.
"Okay, don't argue anymore! No matter what the result is, the three of us brothers will live and die together!"
The second and third brother gradually calmed down after hearing the eldest brother's words.
Xi Yu rode his horse in front of the team and turned to Tuoba Yu and said, "Tuoba Yu, you can reach Youzhou in one day."
Tuoba Yu rode on the horse, looked into the distance, and said with emotion: "The Central Plains is so good, much better than the place in Xianbei."
Her eyes showed her yearning and love for the Central Plains, and a bright smile was overflowing on her face.
That night, Xi Yu and his group lived in an inn. The moonlight shone in the inn courtyard, covering everything with a layer of silver gauze.
What's particularly coincidental is that this store was actually opened by Xianbei people.
