Zhao Yun secretly breathed a sigh of relief, with a lot of thoughts in his mind. Thinking back on the bumpy experiences along the way, he couldn't help but feel sad.

On the other hand, Xi Yu and others were about to leave the territory of the Kushan Kingdom.

The scorching sun was scorching the earth, and the dust raised by horse hooves filled the air.

At this moment, I suddenly heard dense and heavy sounds of horse hooves coming from behind me.

Everyone looked back and saw Chachatu galloping on a tall horse, followed by many soldiers, dust and smoke rolling.

Xi Yu looked at Chachatu calmly, and waited for him to stop and bow his hand slightly.

Chachatu looked anxious and asked loudly: "Prime Minister of Central Plains, are you leaving?"

Xi Yu nodded.

Chachatu turned over and dismounted, and quickly walked to Xi Yu, "I, Kushan, are now suffering from internal and external troubles. I hope you can stay for a while. Moreover, I also hope that Zhongyuan can help me and send some soldiers to help."

Xi Yu frowned and said with a serious look on his face: "Don't discuss this issue anymore. There is no room for negotiation. Your affairs have nothing to do with me."

Chachatu looked disbelief and said anxiously: "Prime Minister of the Central Plains, how can you be so heartless? The Central Plains and Kushan have always been friendly. Now we are in trouble, so you ignore it?"

Xi Yu was unmoved and replied coldly: "I have arrived this time, the mission has been completed, and I am sorry that I can do nothing else."

Xi Yu took a deep breath and said slowly: "This is a challenge that Kushan needs to face. I cannot make decisions for you, nor can I control the decisions in the Central Plains."

Chachatu's eyes were filled with despair and anger: "Prime Minister of the Central Plains, your rejection today will become a stain on history!"

Xi Yu raised his head slightly, and looked over Chachatu and looked into the distance: "History will give a fair judgment, but at this moment, I can only do this."

After saying that, Xi Yu ignored Chachatu, turned his horse's head and prepared to lead everyone away.

Chachatu shouted loudly behind him: "Prime Minister of Central Plains, you will regret it!"

Xi Yu paused slightly, but then he grabbed the horse's belly and left with dust, leaving only Chachatu and his soldiers standing there, full of resentment and helplessness.

Someone comforted Cha Chatu to kill them. Chachatu slapped the person who spoke and said he was looking for death, "Central Plains can we provoke? Today's matter is only because of my declining national strength in Kushan and I cannot force others to help me."

The beaten soldier covered his face with grievance and reluctance, but he didn't dare to say more.

Chachatu looked at the direction where Xi Yu and others left, sighed, turned around and slowly left with the soldiers. His figures seemed particularly lonely in the afterglow of the setting sun.

Back at the palace, Chachatu sat on the throne with fatigue and sorrow on his face.

The ministers surrounded him and discussed the current situation in a lingering manner.

"Your Majesty Wang, since Zhongyuan is unwilling to help, we should seek other methods." said a minister.

"What else can I do? The neighboring countries are eyeing us." Another minister was worried.

Chachatu rubbed his temples and said, "Shut up! Now we can only rely on ourselves to strengthen city defense, train soldiers, and prepare to face the enemy."

The ministers looked at each other and stopped talking.

In the Xianbei, Hong Gang and Tuoba Tianlong often led everyone out to hunt together.

Every hunting trip is full of passion and excitement. Over time, many people become addicted to hunting.

On this day, the sun was still hot and everyone was about to set off again.

However, Tuoba Tianlong stood up and said, "I won't hunt for now. First of all, we have already gained a lot of prey, enough for the tribe to enjoy for a while; secondly, everyone has been exhausted from hunting for days, and it's time to take a break."

After hearing this, everyone was reluctant to let go, but they also understood what Tuoba Tianlong said. Someone whispered: "I suddenly stopped hitting it, and I really felt itchy."

But I just mumbled a few words in private, and then they dispersed and went back to the camp to rest.

Hong Gang quietly accompanied Tuoba Tianlong.

The two sat opposite each other, drinking tea leisurely, and surrounded by a group of obedient servants, serving carefully.

Tuoba Tianlong was holding a teacup and sucking it lightly. Suddenly, he felt a severe headache coming, and he couldn't help but frown and hold his forehead with his hand.

Seeing this, Hong Gang was secretly happy. He knew that this was a drug attack, but his face pretended to be panicked.

He hurriedly approached and asked anxiously, "Chief, what's wrong with you?"

Concern and worry were revealed in his eyes, but he was sneering in his heart: Humph, I'm finally going to succeed.

Tuoba Tianlong endured the headache and looked at Hong Gang with some confusion, as if he wanted to see something from his expression.

He gritted his teeth and said, "I... my head suddenly hurts..."

Hong Gang continued to pretend to be anxious, and while patting Tuoba Tianlong's back, he said, "Chief, don't worry first, I'll ask someone to invite a doctor!" But he was thinking about the next plan in his mind.

Seeing Tuoba Tianlong in such pain, the servants hurriedly carried him to the bed.

They looked nervous and moved in a panic, and fine beads of sweat appeared on their foreheads.

Hong Gang pretended to be anxious and quickly found the doctor, but he knew very well that it was useless to find any doctor.

He looked at Tuoba Tianlong lying on the bed, and felt secretly proud, but his face still looked worried.

After the doctor rushed over, Hong Gang pretended to be concerned and said, "Doctor, look at what's wrong with the leader? You must save the leader!"

His eyes showed false eagerness, but he was thinking: Humph, no matter how you look at it, this ending cannot be changed.

On the other side, Zhao Yun, Zhou Yu and others continued to rush forward.

At night, they checked into an inn.

In the room, Zhao Yun talked to Zhou Yu alone about all the miserable things he had this time.

He lowered his head and said with guilty expression: "I feel really sorry for the Prime Minister. I actually lost Chen Shou, who the Prime Minister likes so much." His eyes were full of self-blame and regret.

Zhou Yu gently patted Zhao Yun on the shoulder and comforted gently: "Zilong, don't blame yourself so much. There are many changes along the way, and it's not your fault. Besides, things may turn around, so there is no need to be so discouraged."

Zhao Yun raised his head, a trace of determination flashed in his eyes, and he said firmly: "I am ready. No matter how the Prime Minister wants to punish me, I will accept it."

His expression was solemn, as if he was ready to face all the consequences. Although he was nervous, he also had a responsibility.

Zhou Yu looked at him, nodded slightly, and a hint of admiration appeared in his eyes.

In the dark prison, Fangjun.

Liu Bei walked slowly.

He stood in front of Guan Yu's prison door, waved his hand solemnly, and said, "Everyone should retreat."

After everyone stepped back, Guan Yu's resolute face showed a hint of anxiety, and he asked in a low voice: "Brother, what's going on?"

In the dim prison, Fang Jun stood quietly aside.

Liu Bei looked at Guan Yu with a serious expression and said softly: "The sender has sent the letter to the transit, but Xi Yu should not have returned yet and has not seen it yet."

He frowned slightly, his eyes full of helplessness, "So, I have to feel sorry for you, my second brother, continue to be in this prison. You can't let you go out now, so as not to have any rumors."

After hearing this, Guan Yu was slightly stunned at first, then he raised his head and laughed loudly, and the laughter echoed in the cell.

He looked at Liu Bei, his eyes full of determination and relief, and he shouted: "Haha, brother, as long as you can always treat me, I, Guan Yu, don't care! What a grievance!"

At this time, Guan Yu thought to himself: As long as it is for the sake of his elder brother's great cause, what is this grievance? He believes that his elder brother must have his arrangements.

Liu Bei looked at Guan Yu's cheerful appearance and his eyes couldn't help but feel a little wet. He stepped forward, held Guan Yu's hand tightly, and said movedly: "Second brother, I feel wronged."

Guan Yu looked at Liu Bei's slightly sad expression and quickly comforted him: "Brother, don't be sad."

A hearty smile appeared on his face, his eyes full of sincerity and open-mindedness, "Brother, I really feel very happy. If you can fight side by side with your brother, it doesn't matter if you are in this prison at this moment!"

Guan Yu thought to himself that as long as he could be with his elder brother, it would be worth it no matter what he experienced. This small hardship was nothing.

Liu Bei was even more moved after hearing Guan Yu's words. He held Guan Yu's hand tightly and said in a choked voice: "Second brother..." His eyes were full of care and gratitude.

Guan Yu looked at Liu Bei's moving appearance and secretly shouted in his heart. He knew that his elder brother was so angry that he would cry endlessly.

So, Guan Yu quickly pretended to be a little tired and said, "Brother, I'm a little tired and want to rest. You can go and do it first."

Guan Yu deliberately looked tired on his face, but he was thinking in his heart that he should not let his elder brother be so sad anymore.

When Liu Bei heard this, he was stunned for a moment, then quickly wiped his tears, looked at Guan Yu with some reluctance, and said, "The second brother has a good rest, brother will leave now."

After saying that, Liu Bei slowly turned around and left while crying.

His steps were a little heavy, and his heart was filled with concern and reluctance for Guan Yu.

Outside the cell, the prison guards gathered together and talked quietly.

"I think Guan Yu must be guilty. It must be that Lord Liu deliberately kept him in this way." A prison guard said in a low voice, his face full of a determined expression.

Another prison guard waved his hand and said nervously: "Oh, don't talk casually. It would be bad if you heard it by Lord Liu."

At this moment, Liu Bei slowly walked out of the cell and heard their words in his ears.

His face became very embarrassed in an instant, and his face turned blue and white.

Liu Bei pointed at the prison guards angrily and shouted loudly: "If you gossip, I will kill you all!" His eyes were full of majesty and anger, and he was both ashamed and annoyed, thinking how could these people speculate so randomly.

The prison guards were so scared that they shook their whole bodies by Liu Bei's appearance. They quickly lowered their heads and did not dare to show off their anger.

The prison guard said tremblingly: "Lord, we will never talk nonsense again."

Liu Bei snorted coldly, brushed his sleeves away, and said, "I will forgive you this time."

Several prisoners quickly returned to the prison with relief.

After a while, Liu Bei, who had already walked a distance, felt something was wrong as he thought about it. He immediately turned back to the prison angrily and shouted loudly: "Those prisoners come out!"
