Zhao Hanzhang personally sent Liu Yi to the guest room to rest, then accompanied him for a while before going to the front hall.
Liu Kun had already received Tuoba Yilu, and the two sworn brothers were holding hands, tears in their eyes, with Liu Kun saying, "Brother, you've lost weight."
Tuoba Yilu replied, "Not as much as you, brother; your face is showing bones."
Liu Kun asked, "Did something happen in Dai County recently? I sought help from you, why didn't you come?"
Tuoba Yilu sighed, "I fell ill, and it was serious. My unfilial sons don't heed me, and Biyan is too young to lead troops."
Liu Kun: ... What about your nephew?
Just as the thought crossed his mind, Tuoba Yilu already said, "I have only two nephews left that I can rely on, but I truly don't dare let them leave. My unfilial sons harbor much resentment; if they leave, I'm afraid I would lose my life instantly."
Liu Kun: ...
He glanced awkwardly at Tuoba Liuxiu standing expressionlessly behind, unable to speak.
