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

The soldier responded, turned around and left quickly.

In fact, he was just pretending to go to the Prime Minister's Mansion, thinking that he would just hang out for a while and then come back to deal with it.

After all, he had secretly received an explanation from the prime minister, so there was no need to actually report the news.

The soldier seemed to be wandering around casually for a while, but in fact, he was always thinking about Chen Shou and Shi Dami.

After estimating that the time was almost up, I returned to the border crossing unhurriedly.

He raised his head slightly, clasped his hands on his chest, and said nonchalantly: "I have already reported your situation. The Prime Minister is kind and said that you two can go directly."

When Chen Shou heard this, his face was immediately filled with a grateful smile. He quickly bowed deeply and said sincerely: "Thank you brother for your hard work in helping spread the word. I will keep this kindness in my heart."

Then, he turned around and greeted Shi Dami, and the two of them strode towards Youzhou together.

Coming to Youzhou territory again, Shi Dami was filled with emotions. He was rejected last time, but he came back this time.

Chen Shou didn't notice anything unusual about Shi Dami. He just saw that the other party looked calm.

Chen Shou told Shi Dami that Youzhou seemed to be very prosperous. He had heard about it, and it was indeed well-deserved when he saw it today.

"Brother Chen, you don't need to introduce me, I've been here before." Smith laughed.

Chen Shou patted his head and said that he was really abrupt.

Since Shi Dami had been here before, he led the way this time, and he and Chen Shou soon arrived at the gate of the Prime Minister's Mansion.

Chen Shou and Chen Shou dismounted, and Chen Shou immediately told the soldiers: "I am here under the order of the prime minister. Please inform me."

The soldier looked them over, then turned aside to let them in directly.

Entering the Prime Minister's Mansion, the courtyard was eerily quiet, with only their footsteps echoing on the stone road.

At this moment, Xi Yu was about to go out and go to Song Shuwen's medical clinic to take a look. Suddenly he saw two people coming, so he asked, "Who are you?"

Chen Shou also met the Prime Minister for the first time. Seeing his extraordinary bearing, he hurriedly clasped his fists in salute and replied: "I am Chen Shou, I am following the Prime Minister here. I wonder if you are the Prime Minister?"

Xi Yu nodded slightly, looked at Chen Shou for a moment, and said, "That's me."

Xi Yu suddenly showed a look of surprise on his face and said, "I have been looking forward to your arrival."

Chen Shou introduced Shi Dami: "This is my attendant, named Shi Tianping."

Shi Dami understood this and hurriedly pretended not to know Xi Yu and saluted Xi Yu respectfully.

Xi Yu said: "Originally I planned to go out, but now that you are here, that's it. You two, follow me to the study and sit down."

Chen Shou secretly wondered whether Xi Yu had received the letter, but the current situation made it difficult to ask rashly. The three of them walked into the study together.

Entering the study, the room is filled with the faint fragrance of ink. Xi Yu sat down on the chair behind the desk and motioned for Chen Shou and Secretary Shi to sit down as well.

"Chen Shou, you must be a little tired after coming all the way." Xi Yu spoke first, breaking the slightly dull atmosphere.

Chen Shou hurriedly replied: "Thank you for your concern, Prime Minister. Chen is not tired."

Chen Shou bowed slightly and said sincerely: "The last time I was with General Zhao Yun, I was confused and didn't want to come to seek refuge with the Prime Minister. But now, I have figured it out and come here to beg the Prime Minister to take him in."

Xiyu heard this and laughed out loud: "It's a good thing that you can come here. It's never too late. But speaking of Zhao Yun..."

At this point, Xi Yu paused slightly and his eyes stayed on Chen Shou for a moment, "By the way, I have to call Zhao Yun."

Chen Shou's heart trembled, but he still had a smile on his face and asked: "Does the Prime Minister think that I am a fake?"

Xi Yu did not answer, and his silent attitude obviously acquiesced to this doubt.

After a moment, he shouted loudly: "Whoever is here, go and ask Zhao Yun to come immediately."

Shi Dami was secretly anxious. There was a key issue lying in front of him at the moment. He knew that he had to get Xi Yu's birth date as soon as possible.

After thinking for a moment, he slowly said: "I have been studying some divination techniques since I was a child. I wonder if I can predict a divination for the Prime Minister?"

Xi Yu sneered in his heart, but kept his expression calm, deliberately pretending to be very surprised, and said, "Oh? You actually have such a method?"

Shi Dami hurriedly nodded and bowed, and continued: "The Prime Minister is blessed with great blessings. If we can get the birth date of the Prime Minister, we may be able to glean some secrets from the hexagrams and help the Prime Minister's great cause. This is the sincerity of the villain. "

Xi Yu had already made a plan in his mind, his expression remained unchanged, and he said calmly: "It doesn't matter if I tell you."

Then he told a fake birth date.

When Shi Dami heard this, he was secretly happy, but on the surface he pretended to be solemn and solemn, and began to calculate in a serious manner.

His fingers trembled slightly, and he muttered words. Sometimes a trace of doubt flashed in his eyes, and sometimes he seemed to have an epiphany, and he performed the divination drama perfectly.

After a while, Shi Dami stopped his movements and said with a smile on his face: "Prime Minister, this birth date is really excellent. It is the sign of great wealth and great honor. In the future, there will be great achievements and profound blessings."

Chen Shou listened on the sidelines and secretly felt ridiculous in his heart. Anyone who heard such flattering and complimentary words would know that they were just showmanship and flattery.

But Xi Yu knew it in his heart and did not reveal it. With a faint smile on his face, he spoke polite words to Shi Dami.

After exchanging pleasantries with each other, Xi Yu seemed to suddenly remember and said, "I was so busy talking that I forgot to greet you two. Who are you coming? Please quickly ask the soldiers to prepare some fruit plates and entertain the two distinguished guests."

Not long after, the soldiers filed in carrying exquisite fruit plates and placed all kinds of fresh fruits on the table one by one. Xi Yu raised his hand and said, "You two don't have to be restrained, just enjoy it as you like."

Chen Shou and Shi Dami hurriedly bowed to express their thanks.

Then, Xi Yu looked at Chen Shou with a smile and said slowly: "I heard that you are well versed in history. Now I have an idea. You might as well organize the information on the Han Empire and write a history book starting from the founding emperor Han Gaozu. "

When Chen Shou heard this, his eyes flashed with excitement, and he quickly said: "This has always been Chen's wish. Now that the Prime Minister has arranged it like this, it is really great."

Xi Yu nodded slightly, and then said: "If you create it yourself, you may get very little, but if I arrange it, you will definitely gain a lot and make a lot of money."

Chen Shou was slightly startled and said: "Although a scholar-bureaucrat should not give up for five buckets of rice, Chen's life has been really tight recently. If he can get help from the Prime Minister, Chen will definitely go all out to repay the kindness of the Prime Minister."

Chen Shou was already immersed in the excitement of writing a history book, and he was constantly thinking about where to start sorting out the long and glorious history of the Han Dynasty.

Seeing this, Xi Yu said softly: "Chen Shou, don't be so excited. After you finish writing this history, there will be many things for you to do in the future. As long as you follow me wholeheartedly, I will never treat you badly. "

Chen Shou was filled with emotion when he heard this. His eyes could not help but turn slightly red, and tears slowly flowed from the corners of his eyes.

Seeing this, Xi Yu softened his tone and asked, "How are you doing lately?"

Chen Shou choked slightly and said in a low voice: "Returning to the Prime Minister, my father has passed away."

Xi Yu's expression turned stern, with a look of regret on his face, and he sighed: "Oh, please be sorry. The deceased has passed away, and the living should encourage themselves. You still have a bright future. Don't be too sad and miss yourself."

Chen Shou nodded silently, holding back his grief and trying to calm down his emotions.

At this moment, Zhao Yun came in a hurry.

He stepped forward quickly and saluted Xi Yu. Xi Yu raised his hand slightly to signal him to get up first, and then said, "Zilong, come and see who the guest is."

Zhao Yun then turned his gaze to the side. When he saw that it was Chen Shou, he couldn't help but feel very surprised, and a trace of doubt flashed in his eyes.

Chen Shou also quickly stood up, saluted Zhao Yun with clasped fists, and said with a smile: "General Zhao, you are well. Chen Shou is being polite."

Zhao Yun frowned slightly, seeming to be thinking about the purpose of Chen Shou's visit, but he also politely returned the greeting: "Mr. Chen, I haven't seen you for a long time, why are you here today?"

Chen Shou hurriedly said: "The last time the Prime Minister called me to come, I didn't know what to do and failed to answer the call. Now I have figured it out and came here to join the Prime Minister, hoping to serve him."

After hearing this, Zhao Yun smiled slightly, clasped his fists and responded: "In that case, it is naturally the best. It is a blessing to have Mr. Chen's help."

Xi Yu watched the interaction between the two and thought to himself. Seeing Zhao Yun's reaction, he became even more certain that the person in front of him was Chen Shou.

He smoothed his sleeves and said with a smile: "It is fate that everyone can gather here now. In the future, we will work together to achieve great things."

Xi Yu turned to Zhao Zilong and said, "Zilong, go and order a table of food at the restaurant outside. The four of us will go together today, and all the expenses will be charged to my account." Zhao Zilong followed the order and clasped his fists: "Yes, Prime Minister ”

Chen Shou said hurriedly: "The Prime Minister is so polite, which really scares us."

Xi Yu waved his hand and said with a smile: "No need to say more, today I will just take care of the relationship between the two of you. There will be a long time to get along with each other in the future, so there is no need to be cautious."

Not long after, Zhao Zilong reported that he had booked a private room in the restaurant. Xi Yu stood up and walked out with Chen Shou, Shi Dami and Zhao Zilong.

Along the way, Chen Shou and Zhao Zilong chatted for a few words, talking about their past experiences, and they were quite happy with each other.

Shi Dami followed silently, his eyes observing the surroundings from time to time, secretly vigilant.

Everyone walked to the restaurant and entered the private room under the guidance of the waiter. The table was gradually filled with dishes.

After having a full meal, Xi Yu led everyone back to the mansion, and then said to Chen Shou and Shi Dami: "You are also tired today, so you should have a good rest in the guest room. After I have prepared all the necessary matters, I will free up a special I will arrange for you, Chen Shou, to officially start writing that history book."

Chen Shou quickly handed over his hands and thanked him.

"Thank you Prime Minister for your thorough consideration. Chen will just wait for the Prime Minister's arrangements."

Shi Dami also nodded and bowed in agreement.

"Prime Minister, you have taken the trouble, and we both can't thank you enough."

Afterwards, a servant led Chen Shou and Shi Dami to the guest room, which was elegantly and comfortably decorated.

At this moment, only Chen Shou and Shi Dami were left in the room. Chen Shou asked impatiently: "Can you give me the antidote now?"

Without saying a word, Shi Dami immediately took out a small porcelain bottle from his arms, poured out a pill and handed it to Chen Shou, saying, "Take it quickly."

Chen Shou hurriedly took it, put it in his mouth and swallowed it.

Shi Dami looked at Chen Shou's actions and comforted him: "Don't worry, all the poisons have been cured. I, Shi Dami, guarantee it with my life. If this antidote is fake, I am willing to be struck by five thunderbolts from the sky, and I will not die a good death." ”

Chen Shou patted Shi Dami on the shoulder and said softly: "I trust you, so why do you need to swear such a heavy oath? We have known each other for a long time, and I know your character well."

Shi Dami lowered his voice and said: "Now that Xi Yu's birthday and horoscope have been found out by me, it is not suitable to stay here for a long time. I must find a way to leave as soon as possible."

Chen Shou thought for a moment and responded: "You can just leave. When the prime minister asks, I will just find an excuse to excuse him. I don't think there will be any big problem."

Shi Dami nodded heavily after hearing this.

That night, everything was silent, and most of the moonlight was covered by dark clouds, leaving only some dim light and shadow.

Taking advantage of the darkness, Shi Dami quietly took out the horse, got on it, and then clamped the horse's belly, and the horse spread its hooves and ran quickly towards the distance.

The sound of horse hooves was particularly clear in the silent night, but Shi Dami couldn't care about it. He just wanted to get away from this place as soon as possible.

At this time, he couldn't be more happy. The mission was successfully completed and the birth date was already in hand. As long as he brought it back, the follow-up plan could proceed step by step.

The wind whistled past his ears and blew the corners of his clothes, as if it was also assisting his smooth action.

From time to time, Shi Dami looked back at the Prime Minister's Mansion that was gradually disappearing, his eyes full of pride and joy, and he kept moving his feet, driving the horse to gallop in the established direction and disappear into the vast night.

Xi Yu had already arranged for secret guards to quietly watch their every move.

That night, the secret guards hid in the dark and could clearly see the whole process of Shi Dami leading the horse, mounting it, and quickly leaving.

After Shi Dami's figure completely disappeared into the night, the secret guards did not dare to delay at all and went straight to Xi Yu's residence.

Not long after, he arrived at the door of Xi Yu's room. After gently knocking on the door, he lowered his voice and reported: "Prime Minister, that Shi Dami left on horseback under the cover of night. Judging from his posture, he seemed to be quite eager."

After hearing the secret guard's report, Xi Yu couldn't help but raise the corners of his mouth slightly, and his eyes were filled with the joy of succeeding.

At that moment, he ordered the secret guard: "Hurry up and invite Chen Shou, don't delay."

The secret guard received the order and quickly ran towards the guest room where Chen Shou lived.

Not long after, the secret guard came to the door of the guest room, knocked gently, and said loudly: "Mr. Chen, the Prime Minister has invited me. I hope you will come with me."

When Chen Shou heard this, he immediately said, "Okay, I'll be there right away."

He thought, it must be about the letter.

Chen Shou straightened his clothes and followed the secret guard into Xi Yu's room in a hurry.

Before he could speak, Xi Yu smiled and raised his hand, signaling him not to rush, and then said slowly: "Mr. Chen, I have successfully received the letter. Your plan is very clever. Everything is going according to plan."

Upon hearing this, Chen Shou's slightly nervous face was instantly replaced by joy. He bowed slightly and said, "The Prime Minister is so complimentary. All of this relies on the Prime Minister's trust and prestige to be implemented. Chen is just doing his best."

Xi Yu shook his head gently, his eyes full of admiration: "Sir, please don't be too modest. Such an interlocking and exhaustive plan is not something an ordinary person can do? Your wisdom, sir, is really something I admire."

A playful smile appeared at the corner of Xi Yu's lips and he said: "The truth is that I just randomly made up a birth date to deal with Shi Da Mi. I never expected that guy to believe it so easily. He is really stupid." After saying this, he couldn't help but sneer softly.

Chen Shou also laughed and nodded in agreement.

Xi Yu then changed the topic and mentioned: "That thief Zhao Qiang, the truth has now placed him in the inn. He has made a contribution this time. If he hadn't stolen the letter by mistake, this plan would have been impossible." It’s difficult to unfold so smoothly.”

Chen Shou raised his head slightly, with a hint of emotion in his eyes.

"Such coincidences are like God's careful arrangements, everything is secretly pushing the situation to develop in a direction that is beneficial to the Prime Minister.

Xi Yu raised his head slightly, his thoughts seemed to drift back to the past, and he slowly said: "It's strange to say that when I came to this world, it seemed that there was always an invisible force to help me. Even if there were difficulties and obstacles, I could resolve them safely."

"The Prime Minister has brought great blessings to the heavens. This is the blessing of the common people. Since God has given such blessings, I am sure he will be able to achieve a more magnificent cause in the future, pacify the world, and benefit all people."

Xi Yu waved his hand gently, as if coming back from memories.

"Don't judge prematurely. The world is unpredictable and we still need to proceed cautiously in the future."

With concern in his eyes, Xi Yu asked, "Chen Shou, how is the poison in your body now? Has it been cured?"

Chen Shou slightly cupped his hands and replied: "Prime Minister, don't worry, Shi Dami has given me the antidote. I think it will be fine."

Xi Yu shook his head slightly, with a solemn expression: "Don't be careless. We still need to confirm carefully. I will take you to the hospital tomorrow to find Song Shuwen for a thorough diagnosis. I must make sure that the toxins in your body are cleared. You can go back to your room to rest first. , recharge your batteries for tomorrow.”

Chen Shou felt warm in his heart and saluted again: "Thank you, Prime Minister, for your concern. Chen will obey."

After saying that, he turned around and slowly exited the room.

After returning to the room, Chen Shou felt relieved. In the past few days, every time he was with Shi Dami was perfunctory.

Especially in the inn, when he was tied up, he didn't tell the prime minister.

Forget it, there's no need to go into such detail, just do things with a clear conscience, and it's not to earn any credit.

He lay down on the bed and felt very comfortable.

Because his good days were coming.

He said silently in his heart: "Dad, don't worry. My son has found a good home now." (End of this chapter)
