Meng Huo was talking to Xi Yu with a sad face, and suddenly, a servant hurriedly came to report: "Sir, Mrs. Zhurong is back!"

When Meng Huo heard this, his face suddenly showed ecstasy. He stood up with a "scarlet" and said excitedly: "Really? It's great!"

As he said that, he raised his foot and ran out, and Xi Yu hurriedly followed.

When I arrived in the yard, I saw Mrs. Zhu Rong appearing in front of me with a haggard face.

Meng Huo's eyes were full of heartache and pity. He strode forward, as if he saw a savior, and opened his arms and hugged Mrs. Zhurong tightly, his voice was a little suffocated: "Madam, you are back, I'm really worried about it. Sorry, I've made you suffer."

Mrs. Zhurong leaned into Meng Huo's arms, with a weak smile on her face, and said softly: "I'm fine, don't worry."

Meng Huo hugged her tightly and sweared in his heart that he would protect her well in the future and never let her suffer any harm again.

At this time, Meng Huo only had Mrs. Zhurong in his eyes, as if everything around him had stopped existing. His heart was filled with the joy of losing and deep apology for Mrs. Zhurong.

Xi Yu watched this scene from the side, feeling silently happy for them.

After being hugged by Meng Huo, Mrs. Zhu Rong suddenly felt a little embarrassed, with a blush on her face and she said softly: "Oh, Meng Huo, it's not good to be seen in broad daylight."

After hearing this, Meng Huo reacted and let go of Mrs. Zhurong with some reluctance, then scratched her head, smiled foolishly, her eyes full of love.

Mrs. Zhurong looked at Meng Huo's stupid look, glared at him with a angrily, and said, "Okay. I left just to let you comfort me. Now that my goal has been achieved, I feel comforted."

Meng Huo quickly grabbed Mrs. Zhurong and said anxiously: "Madam, the Prime Minister is here."

When Mrs. Zhu Rong heard this, she showed a look of surprise on her face, frowned slightly, and asked, "How could the Prime Minister come so quickly?"

Meng Huo smiled, scratched his head and said, "The Prime Minister came back from going out and passed by here. He didn't know what had happened."

Mrs. Zhurong nodded thoughtfully, and a trace of thought flashed in her eyes.

Meng Huo looked at Mrs. Zhu Rong, with a honest smile on his face, but he was thinking about how to solve the current problems with the Prime Minister.

Meng Huo and Mrs. Zhurong entered the room together. When Mrs. Zhurong saw Xi Yu, she immediately saluted respectfully and said, "Greetings to the Prime Minister."

Xi Yu sat there with a serious expression, like a judge, looking at Meng Huo with a stern look, and said in a deep voice: "Meng Huo, don't act like this impulsively in the future."

Then, he looked at Mrs. Zhurong again, and his tone eased a little, "And you, Mrs. Zhurong, don't leave home at any time, what kind of morality is it."

Meng Huo and Mrs. Zhurong looked at each other, and Meng Huo hurriedly nodded and responded: "What the Prime Minister taught me is that I will pay attention in the future."

Mrs. Zhu Rong also said softly: "Don't worry, Prime Minister, I know."

The couple expressed their opinions in this way, and Xi Yu nodded slightly and his face looked a little better.

Xi Yu sat there, and Tuoba Yu's figure suddenly appeared in his mind, and a hint of melancholy and confusion surged in his heart.

He thought to himself: Tuoba Yu, Tuoba Yu, you have clearly left, why don’t you come back to find me?

Are you really that heartless? Or do you encounter something outside that prevents you from returning?

Thinking of this, a complex feeling surged in Xi Yu's heart, including loss, worry, and a hint of expectation, hoping that Tuoba Yu would be able to return to his side one day.

His brows frowned slightly, and an indescribable loneliness appeared in his eyes.

When Mrs. Zhurong saw that Xi Yu was actually worried at this time, she couldn't help but look surprised and her heart was full of doubts.

Meng Huo sighed softly, understanding that the Prime Minister was thinking of the missing Tuoba Yu.

Xi Yu suddenly came to his senses and realized that he had just lost his composure. He quickly coughed lightly, concealed his emotions, and said, "You two can sit down first."

Meng Huo and Mrs. Zhurong sat down as they said.

Xi Yu looked at Meng Huo and Mrs. Zhurong with a serious expression and said, "You two, tell me what you know, do you understand?"

Meng Huo and Mrs. Zhurong looked at each other, then Meng Huo nodded and said, "Prime Minister, that indigenous noble is indeed arrogant, he..."

Meng Huo began to tell in detail what they learned about the indigenous nobleman. Mrs. Zhu Rong added some details from time to time, while Xi Yu listened carefully, sometimes frowned, sometimes pondering.

Mrs. Zhurong's eyes were slightly red, her eyes were full of eagerness and pleading. She tightly pulled Xi Yu's sleeve and said, "Prime Minister, I beg you to make a decision for us and to rescue Meng Huo's younger brother."

Xi Yu looked at Mrs. Zhurong with a firm look and nodded slightly, "Don't worry, Mrs. Zhurong, I will find a way."

Then, Xi Yu expressed his serious expression and said, "Also, don't tell the public about our group of people coming here, do you know?"

Meng Huo nodded quickly and replied: "Don't worry, Prime Minister, we couple will definitely not say it."

Mrs. Zhurong also nodded vigorously, her eyes full of determination.

Mrs. Zhurong and Meng Huo looked at each other, and Mrs. Zhurong continued, "Prime Minister, we must keep our mouths tight and will never reveal a word." Her face was full of solemnity.

Meng Huo also patted his chest and promised: "Prime Minister, don't worry, we will never ruin a big deal."

Xi Yu looked at the couple, nodded slightly, and said, "Well, that's great. We need to make a long-term plan and come up with a way to rescue them as soon as possible."

Mrs. Zhurong looked at Xi Yu gratefully and said, "Thank you, Prime Minister. As long as I can save my younger brother, I will definitely remember the Prime Minister's great kindness."

Meng Huo also nodded repeatedly, his eyes full of anticipation.

Xi Yu waved his hand and fell into deep thought.

Meng Huo hurriedly said, "Prime Minister, you have worked hard with you all the way, so let's stay here for the time being. I'll arrange the room now." After that, he looked at Xi Yu with a gaze.

Xi Yu nodded slightly and replied: "Okay."

After receiving Xi Yu's reply, Meng Huo immediately smiled and turned around and went to arrange the room.

The next morning, the sun shone through the window frame. Xi Yu stood up and said firmly, "I decided to meet this man named Tapi."

Ouyang Linlin, who was beside her, looked anxious when she heard this and hurriedly advised: "Prime Minister, don't go there first. You are the Prime Minister, how can you go there in person?"

But Xi Yu waved his hand indifferently and said, "It's okay, I don't care about these."

After saying that, he raised his foot and walked out, leaving Ouyang Linlin in the same look helpless and worried.

Xi Yu was in a hurry and soon arrived at the place where Tapi lived.

He looked up and saw a grape trellis in the gate, casting mottled shadows in the sun.

Several servants were cleaning the yard carefully with brooms and other tools, and the dust raised gently floated in the air.

A servant saw Xi Yu squintedly, frowned, and asked impatiently, "Who are you here to do?"

Xi Yu looked calm and replied slowly: "I want to meet Tapi."

When the servant heard this, he widened his eyes and angrily shouted: "What! Can Tapi see him just by wanting to see him? Get out of here!"

Xi Yu was not scared by this scolding. The corners of his mouth raised slightly, and he showed a confident smile and said, "I came here this time to help Tapi, which can make him the leader of Wuhuan. If you don't want to, forget it."

When the servant heard this, he was shocked. The anger on his face eased a little, and a hint of doubt and hesitation appeared in his eyes. He thought to himself: "This person doesn't seem to be talking nonsense. Is there really a way to help the leader achieve great achievements?" But he didn't dare to believe it easily, so he looked up and down again.

Xi Yu stood there calmly, his eyes firm and deep, as if he had seen through the servant's thoughts.

The servant hesitated for a while and finally said, "You are waiting here, I will inform the leader." After that, he hurriedly turned around and entered the tent.

Xi Yu looked at his back and thought to himself: "If I can gain Tapi's trust, my plan will be able to unfold smoothly."

After a while, the servant came out and let Xi Yu enter, but he warned coldly: "Hmph, come in with me. But I can tell you that if the leader cannot be satisfied, the consequences will be unimaginable."

Xi Yu's expression remained unchanged, and he followed the servant into the room calmly.

After entering the room, Tapi was sitting on a tiger leather chair, looking at Xi Yu with scrutiny.

He is burly, with a beard all over his face, and his eyes are majestic and domineering.

Xi Yu bowed slightly and said with neither humility nor arrogant words: "Chief, I have heard of your reputation for a long time."

Tapi said in a rough voice: "I heard that you can help me become the leader of Wuhuan. If there is a little false statement, don't blame me for being ruthless."

Xi Yu was neither humble nor arrogant, and told Tapi about governing the country, which made Tapi look at him with admiration.

Xi Yu looked at Tapi who was in deep thought and struck while the iron was hot and said, "Chief, can you eat and chat? And I can tell you stories, I make money by telling stories. Today, I let me eat and drink enough and make enough money, and I will tell you how to become the leader."

Tapi raised his head, a trace of doubt flashed in his eyes. He looked up and down at Xi Yu, thinking to himself: "What is this kid selling in the gourd? But it's okay to listen to the story."

So he said rudely: "Okay, then it's up to you."

Xi Yu was happy, but his face remained silent, and then said, "Chief, although you have captured Meng Huo's younger brother now, it does not mean that it is foolproof."

Tapi frowned, looked a little solemn, and asked, "How do you say this?"

Xi Yu said slowly: "Meng Huo has a lot of prestige in his tribe. He will definitely not give up and will try his best to rescue his brother. Moreover, Meng Huo has a strong personality. If it is handled improperly, it may arouse the rebellious spirit of his tribes, and the situation may be difficult to control at that time."

Tapi's face became more gloomy and he began to worry in his heart.

After a while, the servants had prepared the wine and food.

Tapi waved his hand and said, "Come on, eat and talk."

Xi Yu was not polite, so he sat down openly, picked up the wine glass and took a sip, then picked up a piece of meat and put it in his mouth, showing a satisfied expression on his face.

Tapi looked at him and became more and more curious about what he was going to say next.

Xi Yu wiped his mouth, cleared his throat, and began to tell a story: "There was a story called Liang Shanbo and Zhu Yingtai. Zhu Yingtai disguised himself as a man and went to study. He met Liang Shanbo. The two of them had a deep friendship for several years. However, the Zhu family betrothed Yingtai to Ma Wencai. Liang Shanbo died of depression. Zhu Yingtai jumped into Liang Shanbo's grave on his way to get married, and the two eventually turned into butterflies and flew together."

Tapi was engrossed in his ears, and a hint of emotion appeared in his eyes.

Xi Yu told several more stories, including the tragic love of the Cowherd and the Weaver Girl, and the heroic feat of Wu Song fighting the tiger.

Tapi listened with relish, nodded and praised from time to time, and gave him money generously.

While Xi Yu continued to pour wine for Tapi, he kept saying all kinds of flattering words, trying his best to make Tapi drink one cup after another.

Tapi was a good wine person, and in a good mood, he gradually became drunk.
