We agreed that you, a weak strategist, would fight against three heroes by yourself?

Ouyang Linlin and the others returned to the Prime Minister's Mansion first.

Sun Shangxiang, Xi Shi and others were playing cards in the house. When the game was getting lively, they suddenly heard a servant reporting that Ouyang Linlin was back.

When everyone heard this, they immediately put down the cards in their hands and came to the yard to greet him happily.

As soon as he saw Ouyang Linlin, Sun Shangxiang quickly stepped forward, took her hand, with a joyful smile on his face, and said: "Linlin, you are back, we are all worried to death!"

Xi Shi also came forward, her eyes full of concern: "Yes, I haven't seen you for the past few days. Are you okay outside?"

The sisters talked to each other, and their happy expressions seemed like relatives reunited after a long separation.

Several people enthusiastically invited Ouyang Linlin to play cards, but Ouyang Linlin looked exhausted and waved her hands and said, "Sisters, I am really tired from running all the way. Let me rest first."

Seeing her like this, everyone stopped forcing her.

Xi Yu and Wen Xuan are still on their way to the academy.

At this time, several pedestrians recognized Wenxuan and gathered around him excitedly, saying, "Isn't this the one on the poster?"

Xi Yu frowned and said sternly: "Wenxuan appeared on his own, not discovered by you, so there will be no reward. Otherwise, wouldn't everyone on the street be rewarded?"

After hearing this, several people looked frustrated and muttered in a low voice: "I thought I could get some rewards."

But after all, it was the Prime Minister who said this, and they did not dare to refute, so they could only disperse in disbelief.

Lu Su was still worried in the academy, pacing back and forth in the courtyard.

His brows were furrowed, and the wrinkles on his forehead seemed to be getting deeper. He kept chanting: "What should I do, what should I do..."

He was thinking that if Wenxuan could not be found, the Prime Minister would blame him in the future, and he would not be able to bear this responsibility.

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but sigh heavily, "Oh, if that happens one day, I'm afraid my career will be ruined."

Lu Su looked up at the sky. The sunlight was a little dazzling, but he didn't notice it. He only felt as if a huge stone was pressing on his heart.

"In just a few days, I actually feel as if I have aged several years." He shook his head helplessly, filled with sorrow that could not be relieved.

At this moment, Wenxuan and Xiyu finally appeared at the gate.

The few people guarding the gate were standing listlessly. When they saw Wenxuan arriving, their eyes instantly lit up, and their faces were full of surprise.

One of them shouted excitedly: "Teacher Wenxuan is back!"

Others also cheered and ran towards the courtyard, shouting as they ran: "Teacher Wenxuan is back!"

A guard smiled with a smile on his face and said excitedly: "Master Lu Su is going crazy, now it's better!"

With that said, several people quickly saluted Xi Yu, "Greetings to the Prime Minister!"

Xi Yu nodded slightly and said, "No courtesy."

Lu Su heard someone shouting at the door, and at first he thought he heard it wrong, "Could it be that I'm hallucinating from excessive worry?" He muttered in his heart.

With doubts, he walked quickly outside. As soon as he reached the door, he saw Wenxuan and Xiyu coming on horseback. He couldn't believe his eyes, so he rubbed his eyes vigorously and murmured to himself: "Am I dreaming?"

After seeing that it was indeed Wenxuan and Xiyu, he was so excited that his hands were shaking. The gloom on his face was instantly wiped away, and he shouted loudly: "Teacher Wenxuan, Prime Minister, you are finally back!"

Entering the office, Wenxuan looked guilty, lowered his head and slowly told the story of his coma in the rain: "I accidentally passed out in the rain, but luckily I met the Prime Minister, who asked Divine Doctor Song to save me. I delayed my classes and made my classmates and the college worry about me. I am guilty and willing to be punished.”

Lu Su waved his hands quickly, his face full of relief: "It will be fine when the person arrives. There is no need to punish him. Just pay attention in the future."

But Wenxuan raised his head with a firm gaze: "No, Mr. Lu, the college has its rules. If I make a mistake, I should be punished, otherwise it will be difficult to convince the public."

Xi Yu also nodded and said seriously: "There are no rules and there is no rule. Since Wenxuan made a mistake, he must be punished, so that the order of the college can be maintained."

After Lu Su heard what Xi Yu said, he couldn't refute anymore and agreed.

Wenxuan said sincerely: "Then you can report me to the whole school for criticism, and I will also explain the situation to the students and ensure that I will not do it again in the future."

Lu Su also agreed, and then said: "Teacher Dongfanghong misses you very much, and went out to look for you yesterday."

Wenxuan was stunned when he heard this, and a trace of uneasiness flashed on his face, but he said nothing more.

But Wenxuan thought for a while and said: "Even so, it would be better to thank Dongfanghong."

Xi Yu nodded slightly and said, "It's over, I have to leave."

Wenxuan responded softly: "Prime Minister, go slowly, I will see you off." After saying that, he followed Xi Yu and sent him out.

After Xi Yu left, Wenxuan took a deep breath and came to the office to find Dongfang Hong.

When Dongfang Hong saw Wenxuan, she was stunned, her eyes widened, and she couldn't believe her eyes.

He quickly came to Wenxuan's side, subconsciously touched Wenxuan's arm, and murmured: "Am I dreaming?"

Wenxuan frowned slightly and said with a displeased look on his face: "Respect yourself and let go of your hands!"

Dongfanghong finally woke up from her dream and realized that she had lost her composure. She quickly retracted her hand and apologized repeatedly with a red face: "I'm sorry, Wenxuan, I was too excited at the time."

Wenxuan briefly explained the reason for his disappearance. As he was talking, Xiyu also came back.

Dongfanghong was also very relieved to see Wenxuan safe and sound.

Wenxuan said: "I heard from Lu Su that you had looked for me, and I came here to thank you."

Dongfanghong's eyes were burning, and she said eagerly: "This is all right, because you should understand my feelings for you, Wenxuan."

Wenxuan's face sank and said: "Stop it immediately, don't say anything more."

After saying that, he turned around and left without looking back.

Dongfanghong looked at Wenxuan's back and sighed helplessly.

Wenxuan went to class. She stood on the podium and solemnly explained her disappearance to the classmates.

After listening, some classmates expressed understanding, while others were worried about her.

The college also quickly made a decision on punishment and posted the punishment notice in a prominent position in the yard.

Passing teachers and students stopped to watch and talk about it.

After Xiyu returned home, the guard immediately saluted him respectfully.

Xiyu waved his hand, indicating that they did not need to salute, and then strode back to the house.

As soon as he entered the house, he saw that the house was tidy and orderly, and his bed was even cleaner and tidy.

Although he was not there, his bed was made every day.

He lay down immediately and couldn't help but let out a long sigh of satisfaction: "Ah, it's really comfortable. I have lived in the inn outside for so long, but it's not as comfortable as my own bed."

He closed his eyes, feeling the familiar breath and soft bed, and the fatigue of the past few days seemed to dissipate a lot at this moment.

After a while, Xiyu remembered the letter sent by Liu Bei, and he muttered: "I almost forgot about it."

So he got up from the bed, walked to the table, reached out and picked up the letter to open it and read it.

At this moment, Sun Shangxiang came in with a bowl of lotus seed soup and said gently: "Husband, this is the lotus seed soup I prepared for you. You have been gone for a long time, and I miss you so much."

Xiyu turned his head, looked at Sun Shangxiang, smiled and said: "Thank you for your kindness. But I am not hungry now, I will eat later." After that, he concentrated on reading the letter again.

Sun Shangxiang gently put the lotus seed soup on the table, stood quietly aside, looking at Xiyu who was concentrating, and did not disturb him again.

After reading the letter, Xiyu's face suddenly changed, and he was shocked and said: "How could Guan Yu do such a thing?"

He frowned, his face full of disbelief.

He immediately turned to Sun Shangxiang and said: "This letter is a conspiracy."

Sun Shangxiang looked puzzled and asked in confusion: "Husband, what is going on?"

Xiyu looked solemn, handed the letter to her, and said: "You will know after reading it yourself."

Sun Shangxiang took the letter and read it carefully.

After a while, Xiyu asked Sun Shangxiang to say what he thought.

Sun Shangxiang frowned slightly, shook her head and said, "My husband, I am stupid and cannot make a correct judgment on this matter."

Xiyu snorted coldly and said, "This must be a conspiracy. Liu Bei used a trick to keep Guan Yu. It is simply unreasonable."

After listening to Xiyu, Sun Shangxiang pondered for a moment and nodded slowly in response, "My husband, after analyzing it, I also feel that there is some truth in it."

Xiyu frowned slightly and said to Sun Shangxiang, "You should leave first. I will eat lotus seed soup later."

Sun Shangxiang bowed lightly and replied, "Yes, my husband." Then she turned around and left.

Xiyu sat at the table and continued to think about the problems brought by the letter, his face becoming more and more solemn.

After a long while, he let out a long sigh, temporarily pulled his thoughts away from the letter, and turned to look at the bowl of lotus seed soup.

The lotus seed soup was no longer steaming. Xiyu picked up the bowl and stirred it gently with a spoon. He took a sip and felt that it tasted slightly cool, but still sweet and delicious.

In the evening, Xiyu decided to wake up the ladies except Ouyang Linlin. Everyone sat in the room with the candlelight flickering.

Xishi was the first to break the silence and asked, "Why is Tuoba Yu gone?"

Xiyu's face immediately became gloomy, his eyes were cold, and he said sternly, "No one is allowed to mention her again in the future!"

Everyone was frightened by his sudden anger and dared not say a word. The atmosphere in the room froze instantly, and the scene was a little awkward for a while.

On the next day, Xiyu decided to deal with Liu Bei's affairs later.

He walked to the outside of Gan Mei's room, but heard laughter coming from inside.

He was curious and walked in immediately.

Gan Mei and several maids saw this and saluted quickly.

Gan Mei said softly with an apologetic look on her face: "My husband, I heard that you were back yesterday, but it was already very late when I knew about it, so I was unable to go to greet you."

Xi Yu smiled slightly, waved his hand and said: "It's okay, it's okay." As he spoke, his eyes searched the house eagerly, "I came here this time to see my son Xi Ping'an."

When he saw Xi Ping'an's lovely appearance, Xi Yu's eyes were full of love.

After not seeing him for a long time, he found that Xi Ping'an had grown up a lot. He walked forward excitedly, lifted Xi Ping'an up high, with a happy smile on his face, and kept teasing him: "My little Ping'an baby, you have grown up again!"

But Xi Ping'an just giggled and didn't know how to call people.

But for Xi Yu, this innocent laughter was like the sound of nature, which made him feel extremely satisfied and comfortable.

He looked at his son's pink face, as if all his fatigue and troubles disappeared at this moment.

Xi Yu held Xi Ping'an in his arms, paced back and forth in the room, and whispered softly: "Ping'an, Ping'an, grow up quickly, Daddy hopes that you can call me soon."

His eyes were full of expectation and longing, and his face was filled with the happiness and pride of being a father.

After a while, Xi Yu left Gan Mei's room and saw Xi Shi in the yard.

Xi Shi's walking posture was a little weird, her brows were slightly wrinkled, and she looked very painful.

Xiyu hurried forward to support her and asked with concern: "Xishi, what's wrong with you?"

Xishi complained coquettishly: "It's because you were too fierce last night."

Xiyu couldn't help laughing after hearing this, and took Xishi into his arms, saying softly: "It's because I missed you too much."

After Xiyu returned to the room, he just sat down to rest for a while, and Song Meijiao walked in.

She said with a smile: "My husband, I heard that Sun Shangxiang sent lotus seed soup yesterday, and I also made a soup today."

Xiyu smiled helplessly, waved his hand and said: "Meijiao, there is no need to be like this, I am full."

Song Meijiao's smile froze slightly, a trace of disappointment flashed in her eyes, but soon returned to normal, and said coquettishly: "Then my concubine's kindness, my husband, isn't it disappointing?"

Xiyu saw Song Meijiao's disappointment, and his heart softened. He stood up and took her hand, and said softly: "Meijiao's intention, how could I not know it? It's just that I can't eat it now."

Xiyu smiled and scratched her Nose: "But you are such a considerate person."

Song Meijiao rolled her eyes at him coquettishly: "My kindness to my husband is sincere."

But in order not to disappoint her, Xiyu still picked up the spoon, ate a few mouthfuls seriously, and then said: "Meijiao, this soup tastes very good, but my husband is really full and can't eat more."

Seeing him eat, Song Meijiao smiled happily: "As long as my husband likes it."

Xiyu smiled and nodded: "Okay, Meijiao, you go back and rest first."

Song Meijiao bowed and said softly: "Then I'll take my leave, my husband, don't be too tired."

She left.

Next, Xiyu sat at the desk, frowning, and thought carefully about Liu Bei's matter again.

He felt that this matter was very serious and he had to go to Fangjun to investigate it in person.

After making up his mind, he quickly packed his luggage, got on his horse, and galloped away.

But he didn't tell anyone about this matter.

At night, several ladies gathered together. Xi Shi said in confusion: "Why did the husband leave again? He didn't even say hello."

Ouyang Linlin also echoed: "Yes, is there something urgent?"

Song Meijiao was worried: "I don't know if the husband's trip will be smooth."

The ladies talked one after another, and their hearts were full of worries.

In the evening, Xi Yu came to an inn.

He threw his bag on the table angrily, sat on the stool, and his face was terribly gloomy.

He thought angrily in his heart that although Liu Bei would not do anything to him on the surface, he clearly had a rebellious heart.

The more he thought about it, the angrier he became. He suddenly picked up the teacup on the table, raised his head and drank it all, as if he wanted to swallow the anger in his heart.

Xi Yu slammed the teacup heavily on the table and gritted his teeth and said, "Liu Bei, Liu Bei, you are such an ambitious man, don't think I can't see your mind."

He folded his hands in front of his chest, frowned, and his eyes were filled with deep worry: "If your conspiracy is not exposed this time, it will become a big problem in the future."

At this time, the noise in the inn seemed to have nothing to do with him. His mind kept emerging with various past interactions with Liu Bei, trying to find more clues to confirm his guess.

Another day passed, Zhao Yun heard that Xi Yu was back, and his heart, which had been hanging, finally settled down a little. He decided to find Xi Yu to talk about his mistakes.

Especially the loss of the treasure and the loss of Chen Shou, these two things made him feel guilty.

Zhao Yun came to the Prime Minister's Mansion with trepidation, but was told that the Prime Minister was out again.

This news was like a basin of cold water, instantly extinguishing his just-ignited hope, making his heart uneasy again.

After Zhao Yun left, he walked on the road with a heavy heart. Suddenly, a familiar figure appeared in front of him. It was Zhuge Liang.

The two looked at each other and greeted each other.

Zhuge Liang looked guilty and apologized to Zhao Yun: "Zilong, someone informed me when you were in trouble. But I am a weak scholar, powerless, and I can't do anything in such a situation. I hope you don't mind."

Zhao Yun hurriedly bowed and said: "Sir, you are too kind. This is Zhao's own fault. How dare I blame you."

"Zilong is loyal and brave, don't blame yourself too much for this matter."

Then Zhuge Liang smiled and said: "Since we met today, why don't we go for tea together and reminisce about the past."

Zhao Yun also readily agreed: "It's better to obey than to be respectful. Thank you."

So the two came to a teahouse.

As soon as they entered the door, the waiter greeted them warmly and led them to a quiet corner to sit down.

Zhuge Liang flicked his sleeves and sat down gracefully, while Zhao Yun stood tall and sat upright.

Zhuge Liang took a sip of tea and looked at Zhao Yun gently, hoping that Zhao Yun would share his experience along the way.

Zhao Yun looked bitter, sighed heavily and said: "Military Advisor, this journey was really too pathetic."

But under Zhuge Liang's encouraging eyes, he slowly talked about this experience.

"I was ordered to guard the treasure, but who would have thought that the thief was so cunning, making a feint to the east and attacking in the west, stealing the treasure when I was not prepared. And Chen Shou, I should have protected him, but" (End of this chapter)
