The room was still silent. Xiyu sighed helplessly and stood at the door waiting quietly.

Ouyang Linlin looked at Xiyu with a stubborn face, frowned slightly, and said anxiously: "Don't wait here."

Xiyu's eyes were firm, and he replied without hesitation: "You three go first, don't worry about me."

Ouyang Linlin knew Xiyu's temper very well, sighed helplessly, turned and walked towards Xiaohong and Song Shuwen.

She lowered her voice and said: "My husband asked us to leave first."

Song Shuwen looked serious, and after thinking for a moment, he said: "Madam is right, we can't help here, let's go out first and make a long-term plan."

The three of them walked slowly towards the outside of the inn with full of worries.

Every step seemed so heavy, Ouyang Linlin couldn't help but look back frequently, silently praying in her heart that Xiyu would be safe.

Xiyu lowered his head, standing cramped at the door like a sinner, his hands unconsciously clenching the corners of his clothes.

He raised his head and said with a little helplessness and bitterness: "This is really a helpless move. There is no other way."

Wenxuan pursed his lips tightly, his eyes were full of entanglement and struggle. After a long silence, he finally made way and said softly: "Come in."

Xiyu stepped into the room, and Wenxuan couldn't help but sigh deeply.

Her eyes were complicated, and her voice trembled as she said: "I believe in the medical skills of Dr. Song, and I believe in your character, but... but I still can't accept that you just gave your body like this."

The atmosphere in the room was solemn and depressing. Xiyu stood there, not knowing how to comfort Wenxuan, but full of guilt.

But after a while, Xiyu told himself in his heart, why should he feel guilty?

He didn't do anything wrong. All this was to save people and was forced by the situation.

Wenxuan took a deep breath and said slowly: "Don't mention this matter from now on. I can't marry you myself, and I plan to never marry for the rest of my life."

Her tone was firm, and her eyes showed an unquestionable determination.

Xiyu was shocked when he heard this. He wanted to say something, but he didn't know where to start. He could only stare at Wenxuan blankly. The room fell into deathly silence again.

After a while, Xiyu laughed again and said, "I don't plan to let you marry me. Just don't have any psychological burden."

Wenxuan rolled his eyes at Xiyu and said unhappily, "I just did something like that. I guess you will be very happy."

Xiyu was a little embarrassed and waved his hands to deny it quickly: "No, no, don't get me wrong."

The two were in a stalemate, and Wenxuan's face suddenly changed. He exclaimed: "It's bad. I'll miss the class again this time."

Xiyu also frowned, and after thinking for a moment, he said: "It's come to this, there is no way, I will work harder to make up for it after I go back."

Wenxuan bit his lip and nodded helplessly: "It can only be like this."

At this moment, at Youzhou College, Wenxuan's class time has come, but he did not come to class.

Lu Su soon learned about this matter and felt very strange.

He frowned and asked everyone in the academy: "What's going on? Why didn't Wenxuan come to class?"

When Dongfanghong heard the news, he became anxious, his face turned pale in an instant, and he said in a trembling voice: "Is Wenxuan missing?"

His heart was full of worries, and all kinds of bad thoughts emerged in his mind involuntarily.

Other students also whispered and talked about it. "This is really strange. Teacher Wenxuan has always been punctual and would not skip class for no reason."

"Is he in danger?"

The whole academy fell into chaos and anxiety because of Wenxuan's absence from class.

Dongfanghong told Lu Su anxiously: "I'm going out to look for Wenxuan. I don't have classes in the afternoon."

Lu Su frowned and said: "Do you know where Wenxuan went? Just go out and look for her."

Dongfanghong clenched his fists and looked determined: "No matter what, I have to go out. Even if I have no clues, even if I can't find a needle in a haystack, I can't just wait here. What if she is really in danger?"

Lu Su looked at Dongfanghong's determination and sighed: "Then you should be more careful and come back to tell me if there is any news."

Dongfanghong nodded and turned around without hesitation and ran towards the gate of the college. His figure cast a long shadow in the sun, full of worry and eagerness.

Dongfanghong rode out on a horse, but at this time he didn't know where to go.

There were many forks in the road ahead, and each one seemed to hide the unknown.

But his eyes were still firm, holding the reins tightly, with only one thought in his mind: he must find Wenxuan.

Even if there was little hope, even if there was fog ahead, he couldn't stop.

The horse's hooves raised a cloud of dust, and the sun shone on his tense face.

The wind whistled in his ears, as if urging him to speed up.

Dongfanghong gritted his teeth and drove the horse forward, his figure gradually disappearing at the end of the road.

In the inn, Wenxuan looked regretful and realized a problem. All this was the result of his own playfulness. If he had gone back earlier, he might not have been caught in the rain, and such a thing would not have happened. "

Xiyu comforted: "Now that you are well, we have to hurry on. I will go to find Ouyang Linlin and the other three. "

Wenxuan nodded, stood up, tidied his clothes, and followed Xiyu out of the room.

Ouyang Linlin and three others were standing on a bridge outside.

Xiaohong's eyes were particularly sharp, and she shouted excitedly: "Sister Linlin, look, it's Wenxuan and the Prime Minister coming this way!"

When Ouyang Linlin heard this, she quickly looked closely. Seeing this, she knew that everything was fine, and the stone in her heart finally fell to the ground.

Song Shuwen's tense face also showed a happy smile.

Xi Yu walked over quickly and said to them hurriedly: "We must hurry up and reach Youzhou at dusk tomorrow at the latest."

Ouyang Linlin nodded and responded: "Okay, let's set off immediately!"

Next, the group hurriedly rode back to Youzhou.

During the journey, Wenxuan drove his horse close to Song Shuwen and said sincerely: "Shenzong Doctor, thank you very much this time. Although I don't quite approve of this treatment method, you saved me after all."

Song Shuwen smiled heartily and responded: "Miss Wenxuan, all this is God's arrangement. If God doesn't let us meet, I won't have a chance to save you."

Wenxuan nodded slightly and looked at the sky in the distance, thoughtfully.

The hoofs of the group's horses were flying, raising clouds of dust. The afterglow of the setting sun shone on them, casting long shadows.

Everyone continued to move forward, and the evening breeze blew over their faces, bringing a slight chill.

At this time, Ouyang Linlin said: "This journey has been full of twists and turns. Fortunately, we are all safe."

Xiao Hong echoed from the side: "Yes, I hope everything goes smoothly next time."

Xi Yu looked ahead and said seriously: "Everyone, work harder and try to reach Youzhou as soon as possible."

Wenxuan also cheered up and shouted: "We will definitely arrive on time!"

As night falls, stars twinkle in the sky.

Accompanied by the moonlight, they ran non-stop towards their destination.

At night, Dongfanghong was exhausted. He got off his horse and led the horse to an inn.

As soon as he entered the store, he weakly shouted: "Waiter, bring me some bottles of wine."

As he said that, he randomly found a corner and sat down, and his whole body collapsed on the chair like a deflated rubber ball.

After a while, the wine was served. He picked up a pot, raised his head and took a big sip. The wine flowed down the corner of his mouth and wet his front, but he didn't care.

His eyes were blurred, his cheeks were red, and he murmured to himself: "Wenxuan, Wenxuan, I am sincere to you, why can't you see it?"

As he spoke, he slammed the wine glass on the table, with a look of pain on his face.

He took another sip of wine and thought to himself: She didn't like him at all, and his lovesickness was destined to be fruitless.

During the days when he was teaching in the college, in order to maintain his image, he developed a responsible attitude and buried his thoughts deeply in his heart. Now, through this wine, I can finally let go.

At this time, a guest next to him asked curiously: "Brother, why are you so sad?"

Dongfang Hong smiled bitterly and shook his head: "Oh, even if you tell me, you don't understand. It's the word love that traps me."

Dongfanghong took another sip of wine, her eyes became increasingly blurred, and she muttered: "She never looked at me."

As he spoke, he held his head in his hands, frowning, his face full of pain and helplessness.

People were coming and going in the inn, and noisy voices echoed in his ears, but he seemed to be in a lonely world.

He looked at the wine glass in front of him and smiled to himself: "I am such a fool, knowing that there is no result, but still thinking about her like this."

At this time, the guest spoke again: "Brother, there is no grass anywhere in the world, why should I fall in love with a flower unrequitedly?"

Dongfang Hong raised her head, glanced at the guest, and said drunkenly: "What do you know? She is in my heart like no one else."

The night was getting deeper and deeper, and Dongfang Hong's consciousness was getting blurry. He was lying on the table, still muttering Wenxuan's name intermittently, and a tear fell from the corner of his eye.

Seeing that he could not persuade Dongfang Hong, the guest sighed softly, said no more, turned around and merged into the commotion in the inn lobby.

Dongfanghong, on the other hand, was like a puppet that had lost its support. Her head tilted and she soon fell drunk on the table. She was still muttering Wenxuan's name intermittently, her voice unclear.

Not long after, the waiter's busy figure passed by. Seeing Dongfang Hong lying motionless on the table, he walked up to him, shook his body slightly, and shouted: "Sir, please, wake up." !”

But Dongfanghong didn't respond and was still asleep.

The waiter had no choice but to rush to the shopkeeper and said anxiously: "Shopkeeper, there is a customer over there who is drunk and can't wake up no matter how hard he screams."

The shopkeeper was busy making calculations. Hearing this, he raised his head, glanced at the direction pointed by the waiter, and said nonchalantly: "It doesn't matter. Just put him in a room, so you can ask him for the room fee tomorrow." ”

The waiter looked embarrassed, but he didn't dare to disobey the shopkeeper's order, so he had to go back.

It took a lot of effort to pick up the drunk Dongfang Hong, who was unconscious, and moved him to a room with difficulty, threw him heavily on the bed, and then left with a heavy breath, muttering secretly in his heart. : "This guy is so heavy!"

Early the next morning, Dongfanghong woke up with a splitting headache.

He rubbed his temples and tried to recall what happened last night, but found that his memory was a little blurry.

He sat up and looked around the unfamiliar room, only then did he realize that he was in an inn.

At this time, there was a knock on the door, and the waiter's voice came: "Sir, are you awake? It's time to pay the room fee."

Dongfang Hong looked confused. It took him a moment to react and said awkwardly, "Wait a minute, I'll get it right now."

He groped around on his body, found his money bag, and paid for the room.

Walking out of the room, Dongfanghong looked at the busy streets outside the inn, feeling the annoyance in her heart still lingering.

He secretly made up his mind to bury his feelings for Wenxuan deep in his heart and get back on his feet.

Dongfanghong rushed to the college quickly, and classes were just beginning in the college. He breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, nothing was delayed.

But he still came to Lu Su's office first.

When Lu Su saw him, he quickly asked: "Have you found Wenxuan?"

Dongfang Hong looked frustrated, shook his head, and said seriously: "No, there is no clue at all."

After hearing this, Lu Su sighed, frowned, and paced back and forth in the room. After a moment, he said, "If it doesn't work, just report it to the official."

Dongfanghong responded, turned and left the office.

Lu Su then hurried out to report to the official, but when he arrived at the governor's office, he found that Guan Yu was not there again. He was full of anxiety and had nowhere to express, so he had to come back frustrated.

Along the way, Lu Su felt extremely heavy. The various dangers that Wenxuan might encounter kept popping up in his mind, and his steps became heavier.

When he returned to the academy, his face was gloomy, and his worries had nowhere to vent.

After the first class, Dongfang Hong rushed to Lu Su and asked anxiously: "Have you reported to the official position?"

Lu Su drooped his head and sighed, "Guan Yu is not here. I heard he has been gone for a long time and I don't know where he went."

When Dongfang Hong heard this, he stamped his feet anxiously, his brows were tightly knitted into a knot, his eyes were full of anxiety and uneasiness, and there was a fire burning in his heart: "What can we do? What can we do?"

Seeing Dongfang Hong being so anxious, Lu Su hurriedly patted him on the shoulder and comforted him: "Don't be too anxious. Nothing will happen to Wenxuan. Maybe he is just having fun and hid somewhere."

Although he said this, Lu Su's eyes were a little dodgey, and he knew in his heart that even he didn't quite believe what he said.

Of course Dongfanghong knew that Lu Su was comforting herself. He smiled bitterly and shook his head, muttering to himself: "If only it was like what you said..."

In the end, Lu Su frowned and said firmly, "This is not the way to go. We need to post a missing person notice. Whoever finds Wenxuan will be rewarded heavily."

Dongfang Hong's eyes lit up, and he nodded hurriedly and said, "Okay, that's it!"

As a result, many sticker announcements quickly appeared in the streets and alleys of Youzhou City.

People gathered around the announcement and talked among themselves.

"Who is this Wenxuan?"

"I don't know, but it seems to be quite important, and there is a huge reward."

For a time, the entire Youzhou City caused a stir because of this missing person notice.

At this moment, Wenxuan and others were still rushing on their way.

Wenxuan's face was full of anxiety and he sneezed several times in succession.

She muttered: "When I sneeze now, it's probably because the people who need me are thinking about me. It's a pity that there aren't even telephones in ancient times, so I can't contact them at all."

Xi Yu consoled him, "There's nothing we can do about it. I'll just explain it to everyone when I get back."

Ouyang Linlin listened on the sidelines and felt that what they said was very strange.

"Phone? What is this?" She was full of doubts, but seeing everyone's hurried expressions, she didn't ask any questions and just silently accelerated her riding speed.

However, the distance to Youzhou was getting closer and closer, and Xi Yu's mood improved a lot. He breathed a sigh of relief and said with emotion: "I have been away from Youzhou for a long time, and I am finally back soon."

Wenxuan looked forward and said, "Yeah, I don't know how everyone is doing."

Ouyang Linlin answered with a smile: "We'll find out when we get back."

The group of people continued to move towards Youzhou with expectations.

It was almost noon, and they finally arrived at the Youzhou border crossing.

Xi Yu's face was filled with joy and he said loudly: "I'm finally back!"

Wenxuan also breathed a sigh of relief, and his tense nerves finally relaxed.

The soldiers at the border crossing immediately saluted them. One of the soldiers said respectfully: "Your Excellency, Prime Minister, Liu Bei's envoy once sent someone to deliver a letter, which has been kept with us."

With that said, he presented the letter to Xi Yu.

Xi Yu took the letter, waved his hand and said, "I understand, I'm a little tired now, I'll read it when I get back."

Everyone didn't stop for much and continued walking towards the city.

After entering the city, the lively streets were bustling with people, but Wenxuan had no intention of admiring them.

She inadvertently raised her eyes and realized that her disappearance had become a big deal. A large notice had been posted in the college, with her name and characteristics clearly written on it.

She then smiled bitterly and said to Xi Yu: "You see, my previous worries were indeed correct. Now it has become a big mess. I don't know how to explain it when I go back."

Xi Yu looked at her sad face and comforted her, "Don't worry too much. Just explain the matter clearly."

Wenxuan sighed, feeling uneasy as she didn't know what was waiting for her.

Ouyang Linlin looked at Xi Yu and said sincerely: "Husband, why don't you go back together and explain. Maybe we can make things clearer."

Xiyu thought for a moment, nodded and said, "That's fine."

"Let's not talk about the treatment. The process is really hard to talk about, and talking about it will cause unnecessary trouble." Wenxuan said.

Xiyu couldn't help but covered his mouth and laughed, his eyes curved into crescents: "Don't worry, Wenxuan, of course not. We just need to know about this matter, and we won't talk nonsense."

They quickened their pace and hurried towards the direction of the academy. (End of this chapter)
