Xi Yu and others continued to rush forward.
An hour later, they came to a forest.
At this time, a soldier hurried over and reported to Xi Yu: "King, Cao Pi is sick and has a high fever."
Xi Yu frowned slightly, and he stopped and turned to look at the team behind him.
I saw Cao Pi’s face was pale, leaning against the saddle, looking haggard.
Xi Yu immediately ordered: "Stop and let the accompanying military doctor see." His voice was firm and decisive, without any hesitation.
The team stopped slowly, and the soldiers' discussions quietly spread.
"Wouldn't it be better to just kill him? Taking him with him is just a burden." A soldier whispered.
"Yes, but the king thinks he is a talent, so if he insists on keeping him, there will be future troubles." Another soldier echoed.
Xi Yu listened to these comments and thought to himself.
He understood the soldiers' concerns, but he also had his own considerations.
Then, Xi Yu turned around and said to the military doctor, "Help him with all his might, we can't let him die here." The military doctor hurriedly nodded and began to treat Cao Pi.
Xi Yu stood aside and watched all this quietly.
Xi Yu looked at the gloomy sky and frowned slightly.
He raised his hand to signal everyone to set up camp, and the soldiers acted quickly, set up tents, and lit bonfires.
After a while, an old farmer came from a distance.
His feet staggered, his face full of traces of time.
The old farmer walked up to Xi Yu, hesitated for a moment, and asked, "Is this the soldier led by King Xi Yu?"
Xi Yu nodded and his eyes fell on the old farmer.
"I'm Xi Yu."
A hint of joy flashed in the old farmer's eyes, and he said excitedly: "King, I have always admired you very much. Can you please come to my house and sit there?"
Xi Yu originally wanted to refuse, but he still had many things to deal with.
But the old farmer suddenly knelt down and said earnestly: "God King" General, if you don't go, I won't get up. You finally came to us."
Xi Yu sighed helplessly, and he helped the old farmer up and said, "Okay, old man, I'll go with you."
The old farmer showed a happy smile on his face, leading Xi Yu to his house.
Along the way, the old farmer talked with Xi Yu enthusiastically, telling his admiration for him.
Xi Yu listened with a smile and said a few words from time to time.
The old farmer's home is a simple wooden house, with simple and neat decorations. Xi Yu sat on a dilapidated chair, and the old farmer served him a cup of hot tea.
"King, you are the hero in my mind." The old farmer said excitedly, "I always want to see you with my own eyes."
Xi Yu smiled humbly.
"Old man, I've been too rewarded. I just do my best to serve the people."
After a while, a light figure came from outside.
Xi Yu's eyes were attracted by it, and a girl walked into the room.
Her appearance illuminated the entire room like a bright light.
The girl's appearance is fresh and refined, her skin is as white as mutton fat and as delicate as silk.
Her eyes were like clear lake water, bright and moving, and her long eyelashes trembled slightly like butterfly wings.
The old man smiled and introduced, "King, this is my granddaughter."
The girl shyly lowered her head, walked to Xi Yu, bowed slightly, handed him a cup of steaming tea, and said softly: "Master, please use tea."
Xi Yu took the teacup and said with a smile: "Thank you, Miss."
His eyes inadvertently met the girl's eyes, and a flush appeared on the girl's cheeks. She quickly lowered her head and fiddled with the corner of her clothes.
The old man looked at his granddaughter with loving eyes.
Xi Yu's heart moved. He looked at the girl and asked gently: "Girl, what's your name?"
The girl raised her head, looked at Xi Yu, and replied softly: "The little woman's name is Wan'er."
Wan'er's voice was like the sound of nature, crisp and gentle, and Xi Yu couldn't help but be intoxicated by it.
He smiled and said, "Wan'er, what a nice name."
A bright smile appeared on Wan'er's face, like spring flowers blooming, beautiful and charming.
The old man told Xi Yu that there were still a few sheep at the door that needed to eat grass, so he had to go and cut some grass back.
Xi Yu nodded in understanding and watched the old man walk out of the house.
At this time, Wan'er whispered: "Master, Grandpa has always been like this. He will go to mow grass and feed sheep every day."
Xi Yu smiled and said, "The old man is hardworking and simple, which is admirable."
His eyes fell on Wan'er and continued to ask, "Wan'er, what do you do on weekdays?"
A smile appeared on Wan'er's face, and she replied: "I can help with housework and read and write."
Xi Yu said appreciatively: "Reading and writing is a good pastime and can also increase your knowledge."
Wan'er nodded slightly, and a trace of cleverness flashed in her eyes.
"Master, you must be knowledgeable. Can you tell me about the outside world?"
Xi Yu smiled and began to tell the stories he had experienced.
Wan'er listened quietly, asking questions sometimes and exclaiming sometimes.
The two seemed to have forgotten the passage of time.
Wan'er's eyes flashed with curiosity and desire for the unknown world.
Suddenly, Xi Yu realized that the old man might have deliberately led him to his home, and a trace of doubt surged in his heart.
He stared at Wan'er, thinking about the old man's true intention.
Wan'er noticed the change in Xi Yu's expression and asked softly: "Master, what are you thinking?"
Xi Yu came back to his senses and said with a smile: "It's nothing, I just think the atmosphere here is very warm."
He thought secretly whether the old man's behavior was really about introducing Wan'er to him.
Xi Yu thought to himself that the old man's behavior might not be scheming, maybe he just hopes that Wan'er can find a good home.
And he himself does have a special affection for Wan'er.
The old man sat on the hillside and watched the flock of sheep eating grass leisurely on the grass. He thought about his granddaughter's future and a smile appeared on his face.
He did have this idea, just hope that his granddaughter could marry Xi Yu.
Just a few days ago, he also herded sheep in this place, but at that time, Wan'er was with him.
He was stunned at that time, with a smile on his face.
"Grandpa, what are you thinking?" Granddaughter Wan'er ran over and sat next to the old man.
"I'm thinking about your future." The old man touched her head.
"My future?" Granddaughter looked at grandpa curiously.
"Yes, you have grown up, it's time to consider getting married," said the old man.
"Marry? I don't want to." My granddaughter muttered.
"Silly children, girls always want to get married. Grandpa has an idea to marry you to Xi Yu." said the old man.
"Xi Yu? Is that very famous king?" asked his granddaughter.
"Yes, it's him. He is a capable person. If you marry him, you can live a prosperous life in the future." said the old man.
The granddaughter fell into deep thought. She knew that Xi Yu was a very attractive man.
"But grandpa is so noble and we are so humble."
"If you want, grandpa will have a solution."
After the old man finished speaking, he found that Wan'er was a little shy and blushed.
This shows that the granddaughter is willing, so it will be easy to deal with, and the rest will be left to yourself.
The breeze on the hillside blew gently, blowing through the granddaughter's hair.
Wan'er looked into the distance.
"Grandpa, I don't know what to choose."
"Child, life is a play. You have to play your role well. Xi Yu is a good choice, and he will bring you happiness." The old man comforted.
In this way, Zushen and his two plans to implement a plan.
Because the old man knew that Xi Yu would definitely pass by here.
Wan'er thinks that doing this is too utilitarian and will make Xi Yu unhappy?
But the old man said that he would do it first. Because there is such an opportunity, he must seize it.
In this way, things started slowly.
At this moment, Xi Yu looked at Wan'er and became more and more pleasing to her.
"Can I ask you a question?" Xi Yu said.
"Of course, just ask if you have anything."
"Is it because your grandfather sincerely arranged for me to come to your house?"
When Wan'er's face changed when she heard this, she quickly knelt down.
"What are you doing? I just talk to you calmly, why are you so scared? Get up quickly."
Xi Yu helped him up.
But I found that she was different from before, because she was indeed scared.
Wan'er knew that some things had been seen through by Xi Yu, so even if it was concealed, it would be useless.
"To be honest, my grandfather has this idea."
So she told her all about the conversation between her grandfather and her persuasion that day.
At this moment, her face was red and her heartbeat was also beating.
She felt that she had betrayed her grandfather, which seemed something wrong, but if she had concealed something from Xi Yu, it seemed that it would not work.
Xi Yu grabbed her hand and asked, "But you like me too, right? Otherwise, you wouldn't agree with grandpa's plan."
Her heartbeat became even more powerful.
She didn't expect that Xi Yu would grab her hand at once.
She suddenly became even more at a loss.
"Why are you afraid? I just want to hear the truth from you."
Wan'er still lowered her head very low.
"The little woman has also admired the king for a long time."
Now, Xi Yu felt relieved and grabbed her hand tighter.
Xi Yu thought that if it were in the previous life, she would have been to rectify the Dharma on the spot.
And I really couldn't help it.
He remembered Wenxuan's words again. Wenxuan thought that it should be monogamous and knew that if he liked this woman, he would probably call him a scumbag again.
Before I knew it, it was late, and Xi Yu felt that he was still feeling unfinished.
At dusk, the afterglow of the sunset shines on the streets, reflecting the hasty figures of people.
In the military camp, everyone started to talk about Xi Yu when they saw that Xi Yu had not come back.
"Why haven't the king come back yet?"
"Will he be in any trouble?"
"The old man invited him to visit his house, why didn't he come back at this time?"
At this time, Xi Yu also realized that he should go back quickly.
He hurried back, praying in his heart that he would not attract too much attention.
At this moment, the old man happened to come back.
"Old man, you are back just in time, I'm going to say goodbye."
"Master, don't hurry to leave. It's time to eat. Come and have a meal." The old man greeted enthusiastically.
Xi Yu looked at the old man hesitantly, "My soldiers are still waiting, I have to go back quickly."
The old man nodded in understanding.
"This is easy to deal with. Master, just tell me the address of the military camp and I'll go and inform you."
Xi Yu looked at the old man gratefully and told him the address of the military camp.
In fact, Xi Yu really wanted to stay here. He seemed to have fallen in love with Wan'er and didn't want to leave for a minute.
The old man came to the military camp and was immediately blocked by several soldiers.
He stood there quietly, his eyes firmly looking ahead.
"What are you doing? Don't be rude!" Zhao Yun came over and recognized the old man as the one who invited Xi Yu to sit at home.
He stopped the soldiers' behavior and signaled them to get out of the way.
The old man saluted Zhao Yun and said, "General, the king is having dinner at my house. I may stay here tonight."
After hearing this, Zhao Yun felt a little confused. He couldn't understand why Xi Yu had such a hot chat with this old man.
He looked at the old man and asked, "What you said is the truth?"
The old man nodded quickly.
"If the general doesn't believe it, you can go to my house to have a look. I have no false words."
Zhao Yun thought for a moment and decided to believe the old man's words. He waved his hand and let the old man leave.
"Since the king is fine, we will feel at ease."
Zhao Yun stood in front of the camp, staring into the distance, with a lot of thoughts in his heart.
He didn't know what the relationship between Xi Yu and the old man had, nor did he know if this would affect his next plan.
At this moment, Zhou Yu walked over with a light step.
Seeing this, Zhao Yun shared the old man's words with him.
After hearing this, Zhou Yu couldn't help laughing: "Maybe the old man has a granddaughter or daughter at home, which makes the king fascinated."
Zhao Yun frowned.
"It's not that coincidental, right?"
Zhou Yu's mouth raised.
"This is very likely. Maybe the king met a beautiful woman there, attracted by her charm, so he stayed for dinner or even stayed there."
Zhao Yun thought for a while and felt that Zhou Yu's words were not unreasonable.
The breeze of the night gently blows by, bringing a hint of coolness.
For such a situation, it is completely acceptable for both of them, and they will even feel very happy.
But no matter what, just make sure that Xi Yu is safe.
At this time, Zhou Yu smiled mischievously.
He told Zhao Yun that it would be better to follow the old man and see what was going on.
Zhao Yun was stunned. This is indeed the case. Why not just follow and take a look.
Zhao Yun followed the old man quietly, his steps were light, as if he was afraid of being discovered.
The old man did not notice Zhao Yun's existence and continued to walk his own path.
Zhao Yun came to the old man's house and observed quietly.
He saw Xi Yu and the old man's granddaughter having fun chatting, and both of them had smiles on their faces.
"It seems that Zhou Yu's guess is still correct." Zhao Yun thought to himself.
At this time, laughter and joy came from the house. The three of them had a meal together, and the atmosphere was in a happy mood.
Zhao Yun felt relieved when he saw that Xi Yu was having a good time here.
The stars at night shine, illuminating Zhao Yun's way back.
He felt much more relaxed, and Zhou Yu's guess was right.
When Zhao Yun went back, Zhou Yu was still waiting for him.
Zhao Yun was very strange.
"Zhou Yu, have you discovered something long ago?"
Zhou Yu couldn't help laughing, and he saw Zhao Yun ask like this.
He knew that his guess was correct.
"It seems that the truth is indeed the case. I am indeed guessing and knowing nothing."
Zhao Yun briefly explained what he was peeking at.
"It seems that the king has made good luck this time, so we congratulate him."
On the other hand, after Xi Yu finished his meal, the old man said, "Don't go to the military camp anymore. If there is a free room here, it's better to stay there."
Xi Yu also knew that this time was still a feudal era after all. Even if the old man hoped to marry his granddaughter, he would not blatantly ask the two to live together.
He eventually refused to stay here.
When he saw that Xi Yu was really leaving, the old man blinked at Wan'er.
But Wan'er shook her head. She is a girl with such a thin skin. Should she take the initiative to let Xi Yu stay?
The old man had no choice but to say, "Master, please stay."
"No need, I've been living with the soldiers."
The old man was a little anxious at this time.
"Your Majesty, I'm sure you've guessed what I mean."
"I know what you think."
After the window paper was pierced, the old man became more at ease.
"Since that's the case, I wonder if the king is satisfied with my granddaughter?"
He finally mustered up the courage to say this.
At this time, his heart started to pound.
He immediately bent his body and said, "I am so rebellious that I should not have such a whirlwind."
"I know you are also doing your granddaughter's good, so I don't want to blame you either. And I'm quite satisfied with Wan'er."
After saying this, the old man and Wan'er were particularly happy, and Wan'er's face turned even redder.
"Since that's the case, I wonder if you can let Wan'er follow you day and night in the future, is it okay?"
The old man finally said this.
"The king is really not to hide it. I am already terminally ill and can't live long. I can no longer take care of my granddaughter, so I came up with such an idea."
"Grandpa, what did you say? What's going on?" Wan'er was immediately frightened. She knew that grandpa could not tell lies.
The old man said that he had visited the doctor some time ago.
Xi Yu asked again: "Are you all saying true?"
"It's true. If there is a false statement, I'm willing to fight the five thunders."
Wan'er immediately started crying.
At this moment, Xi Yu remembered Song Shuwen.
"Old man, don't worry first. Why don't you go to Youzhou with me together. I have Doctor Song there and let him show you."
The old man said in confusion: "Is this true?"
"Of course it's true, why should I lie to you?"
And Xi Yu took the initiative to say that Song Shuwen's art is so superb, just like he was crazy, and in the end he saved himself.
"Grandpa, since that's the case, then you can go with the king," Wan'er said quickly.
Chapter completed!
