Chapter 717 Mrs. Zhurong leaves(2/2)
So he tidied up his clothes and hurriedly walked out the door with a nervous and expectant expression on his face.
Meng Huo quickly walked to the door and saw Xi Yu and others at a glance. He quickly bowed and said in a little panic: "I don't know that the Prime Minister is here, Meng Huo is missing and welcomes you. I hope the Prime Minister will forgive you."
Xi Yu looked at Meng Huo and said with a smile: "I went out a long way a while ago. On the way back today, I suddenly remembered here to see you."
When Meng Huo heard this, he hurriedly said, "Oh, it's a great honor for the Prime Minister to remember Meng Huo! Prime Minister quickly invites him into the hall."
As he said that, Meng Huo turned sideways and made a gesture of invitation. Xi Yu was not polite, so he raised his foot and walked towards the hall. Ouyang Linlin and others behind him also entered together.
Meng Huo led the way, but he was guessing the real purpose of Xi Yu's trip in his heart, while Xi Yu looked calm and composed, as if he was just a simple old friend to meet.
The group quickly walked into the spacious and bright hall. Meng Huo hurriedly called everyone to sit down, and then ordered the servants to serve tea and snacks quickly. The atmosphere became a little subtle for a moment.
Xi Yu smiled and waved his hand, saying, "I have also heard about you and Mrs. Zhurong this time."
When Meng Huo heard this, his face changed slightly, but he still said calmly: "Prime Minister, this matter... this matter is a long story."
Xi Yu nodded and said, "It's okay, come on slowly." Meng Huo took a deep breath and began to tell the story...
A hint of unnatural flashed across Meng Huo's face, as if he was embarrassed to face Xi Yu.
Seeing this, Xi Yu turned to Ouyang Linlin, Xiaohong and Song Shuwen and said, "You three will go outside first."
The three of them looked at each other, then got up obediently and left the hall.
After they left, Xi Yu looked at Meng Huo and whispered: "You can say it now."
Meng Huo sighed heavily, his eyes full of helplessness and entanglement. He said bitterly: "Prime Minister, I really didn't plan to let the emperor and you know about some things. But who would have thought that you would come suddenly today. Alas... Yesterday, Mrs. Zhurong wrote to the court. I was so angry that I hit her, and then she left."
After saying that, Meng Huo lowered his head, his face full of regret.
Listening to Meng Huo's words, Xi Yu thought to himself: This is indeed the same as what I heard in the teahouse.
He looked calm on the surface, but just looked at Meng Huo calmly and said, "Oh? There is something wrong."
Meng Huo raised his head and looked at Xi Yu, with a look of begging in his eyes, and said, "Prime Minister, I know I was wrong. I really regret it now."
Xi Yu frowned slightly and fell into deep thought.
Xi Yu sighed softly, looked at Meng Huo and said seriously: "Captain Meng Huo, as a man, sometimes he should really coax women more. I have made such a mistake myself."
As he said that, a hint of loneliness and regret appeared in his eyes, "I once made Tuoba Yu angry, but now she has no news."
When Meng Huo heard this, his eyes widened, his face full of shock, and said in surprise: I didn't expect that the noble prime minister would take the initiative to share such a thing with me.
He stammered, "Prime Minister, you...you are...you are..."
Xi Yu smiled bitterly, waved his hand and said, "Hey, no one can do anything wrong. It's just that some things are difficult to save if you miss them."
Meng Huo nodded thoughtfully, not knowing what to say for a moment.
Xi Yu looked at Meng Huo with a complicated expression and said softly: "Meng Huo, you should still have hope of finding Mrs. Zhurong."
A hint of loneliness and helplessness appeared in his eyes, and then said, "But I can't see Tuoba Yu for a while."
After hearing this, Meng Huo felt a little sympathy in his heart. He looked at Xi Yu and said, "Prime Minister, maybe... maybe there is a turning point."
Xi Yu shook his head with a wry smile and sighed: "I hope..."
The atmosphere in the room seemed to solidify, dull and depressing. The air seemed to become extremely heavy, making it almost difficult to breathe. There was silence all around, and only the occasional depressing breathing sounds could be heard.
Then, Xi Yu took a deep breath, broke the dull and depressing atmosphere, looked at Meng Huo, and asked seriously: "Meng Huo, what is the difficult thing that makes you feel embarrassing to tell the court?"
After hearing this, Meng Huo sighed again, his face full of sorrow, his lips moved a few times, but he didn't know how to speak.
Seeing this, Xi Yu couldn't help but feel a little angry and accused loudly: "Menghuo, why are you rude, like a woman! What can you say directly?"
Meng Huo was yelled like this, and his body couldn't help but tremble, with a hint of embarrassment and helplessness on his face, and his eyes wandered, as if he was still struggling to say it out.
Meng Huo frowned and said with a sad face: "Prime Minister, someone is rebelling now."
He paused, and a hint of anxiety appeared in his eyes, "He is a local native noble. He had been in Persia and has just returned. He was not satisfied with the Prime Minister's arrangement to me to sit here, so he hopes that I will give up the position of the leader."
As he said that, Meng Huo's fists were clenched unconsciously, his heart full of resentment and reluctance.
After hearing this, Xi Yu's face became a little gloomy. He stared at Meng Huo with sharp eyes and said in a deep voice: "What happened? This man is so brave!"
Meng Huo sighed helplessly and continued, "Yes, Prime Minister, I have a headache too." His face was full of helplessness and distress, and he was secretly complaining in his heart.
Xi Yu frowned and criticized sternly: "Meng Huo, where is your momentum? Why don't you send troops to wipe it out? Can't you do this little thing?"
Meng Huo said helplessly, "Prime Minister, it's not that I don't want to send troops, it's really... I've caught my brother, and I'm afraid of it."
After saying that, his face was filled with pain and entanglement.
