Chapter 556 Return to Youzhou
Several soldiers sent by Ouyang Linlin eventually left Youzhou.
However, at noon that day, they suddenly saw some people in front of them.
The few people were overjoyed, and they felt that this should be Xi Yu's people coming back.
And their guess was completely correct, it was indeed Xi Yu and others coming to this side.
However, several soldiers were puzzled why Xi Yu and others were carrying a coffin, and Xi Yu had already seen them.
Among the soldiers coming from home, one of the soldiers named Fengchang shouted loudly: "Master, are you back?"
Xi Yu had already seen him from afar and shouted loudly: "Yes, I have won a battle."
At this moment, several soldiers from home rushed over on horseback, and then they dismounted and saluted Xi Yu one after another.
Fengchang said that it was because Ouyang Linlin was thinking about the king that they asked them to come quickly.
Of course, Xi Yu knew that several wives could not wait for him, so he asked about some of the situation at home and learned that Liu Xie had indeed lived here.
Fengchang quickly looked at the coffin and asked, "King, what's going on?"
Then, when he saw Xi Yu, there was a pale woman immediately.
"Okay, you are here just in time, and I don't have to send someone to my house to deliver the letter. You can go back and tell your majesty, and I will bury the old man first."
Xi Yu did not say who the old man was, but several soldiers in Xi Yu's family already knew that the old man's identity was very important.
"Okay, lord, we must listen to you."
After that, they left first and came. When they arrived at the border, the faces of the soldiers were very rosy.
"Tell you a good news. The king is back, but he still has to deal with some common things, and it may take a while to go home."
Several soldiers at the transit were naturally very happy to know the news.
Next, Xi Yu can better hold a funeral for the old man.
Then, he told Wan'er that there was a better place and that he had already fallen in love with her.
The place has beautiful mountains and rivers, so why not just put my grandfather there.
Next, Xi Yu took Wan'er and some soldiers to this place, which was indeed beautiful.
Wan'er thought to herself that she would be lucky enough to be buried here.
In fact, my grandfather never thought he would leave here in his life. His best ending should be to return to his roots, because there are many cemeteries at their ancestral tomb.
But now Xi Yu wants to arrange him here and he will be cured and obedient.
Because it is probably unrealistic to transport my grandfather’s coffin back to my hometown.
Next, Xi Yu prepared to hold a large-scale funeral in the prosperous era, and then asked someone to buy white cloth and other things quickly.
Wan'er suggested that she would be the only one who wears silence and filial piety. As for those who have nothing to do with her, she should never do this, including Xi Yu, because she and Xi Yu have not yet confirmed a better relationship.
Several other soldiers went home immediately and told Ouyang Linlin the news.
Ouyang Linlin felt very strange when she learned that Xi Yu had brought a coffin this time.
But after hearing that there was another girl, Ouyang Linlin immediately understood what was going on.
I thought the coffin was from which hero died, but it seemed like an ordinary old man.
She sent out several soldiers. Xiaohong saw that her face looked a little ugly, so she asked, "Miss, has the king found another woman outside to come back?"
Ouyang Linlin sighed.
"It probably should be like this."
Xiaohong also started muttering.
"Why is the king so fickle? What's the difference between them and those stinky men?"
Ouyang Linlin was not happy.
"Okay, Xiaohong, how can you say that to the king? Isn't this normal for a man to have three wives and four concubines?"
Xiaohong felt aggrieved after hearing this.
I just thought about the lady, why did she say that to herself?
Ouyang Linlin was indeed jealous, but she thought that she could say bad things about her husband, but others could not say anything, even if it was a personal maid, Xiaohong could not. When she saw Xiaohong being wronged, she immediately grabbed his hand.
"Okay, okay, it's just a joke. Why are you so angry? Today is also good, let's go outside for a walk."
The two of them were walking in the yard. After a while, Ouyang Linlin came to the Buddhist temple again.
Xiaohong said: "Miss, do you still have to go inside to worship Buddha?"
"No need, I just came out of it this morning, so I will ignore Buddha for the time being."
Xiaohong said: "Miss, since that's the case, why don't we go to the street to go for a walk." Ouyang Linlin was also thinking that way, so the two of them came to the street, but happened to see Wenxuan walking.
They stepped forward and said hello.
"Teacher Wenxuan, why are you here?"
Wenxuan was also a little surprised when he saw them.
"I happened to have no classes today, so I'm out for a walk. By the way, I wonder if the king has come back?"
Ouyang Linlin nodded and said that she had arrived in Youzhou, but she had not returned home yet.
Wenxuan was also very happy when he learned the news.
"Then why haven't he come back yet?"
Xiaohong said dissatisfiedly: "According to the soldiers' report, he may have fallen in love with another woman, and then some relative of the woman died, saying that she was going to have a funeral."
What Wenxuan hates the most is polygamy, and no one is exception.
Xi Yu did this very annoying.
Her face was immediately filled with dissatisfaction.
"Why did he do this? Isn't it enough to have so many women around him?"
She expressed her dissatisfaction indignation, just like her husband, which also made Ouyang Linlin feel very embarrassed.
Ouyang Linlin coughed.
"Teacher Wenxuan, this is my father's business, why are you so angry?"
Wenxuan realized that he was a little out of control, so he squeezed out a smile.
"It's all my fault. I'm too abrupt. By the way, since we've met, you don't mind. I'll follow you to stroll around."
Ouyang Linlin held Wenxuan's hand.
"We certainly don't mind what you are saying."
So, the two walked in front and Xiaohong followed behind, but Xiaohong was thinking about a very philosophical question.
Will Miss Wenxuan like the king? If she didn't, why would she be so indignant when she heard that he had a new woman?
If so, why didn’t the woman become the king?
So she kept thinking about these questions, and invisibly two women set a long distance.
After a while, Ouyang Linlin felt something was wrong, so she immediately turned around.
I saw Xiaohong a few meters away from them.
So he asked, "Xiaohong, what's wrong with you?"
Wenxuan asked, "Yes, Xiaohong, what are you thinking about?"
Xiaohong quickly lie.
"Nothing, I just had a dream last night, so I remembered it again now."
In Luoyang, Sun Jianlong still lives in Sima's Mansion. On this day, he and his old servant discussed in the study how to deal with Xi Yu.
The study room was filled with a faint fragrance of ink, and the sun shone through the window on the desk.
Sun Jianlong stroked his chin with his hands and frowned, while the old servant stood aside, looking embarrassed.
After pondering for a moment, Sun Jianlong slowly spoke, "I already have plans in my heart, but I still want to ask for your opinions. Xi Yu is a person who is difficult to deal with, and we need to think of a complete solution."
The old servant nodded and said softly: "Young Master, if you have any ideas, you must do your best to help."
A trace of determination flashed in Sun Jianlong's eyes and said, "I plan to start with Xi Yu's relatives. I heard that he has several wives and a child, so we can catch one of them to threaten Xi Yu."
After hearing this, the old servant was startled and said hesitantly: "Young Master, it may not be appropriate to do this. Xi Yu's family did not offend us. Doing this will not only hurt innocent people, but may also anger Xi Yu, making him more alert and difficult to deal with."
Sun Jianlong was silent for a moment, sighed and said, "I know that doing this is a bit unscrupulous, but we have no other better way at the moment. Xi Yu has always been a big trouble in my heart. I will never be able to feel at ease if I don't get rid of him."
The old servant frowned and pondered for a moment and said, "Young Master, if we have to do this, we need to act cautiously and not let Xi Yu notice any clues. Otherwise, he may take more extreme measures to protect his family."
Sun Jianlong nodded and said, "You make sense. We need to make a detailed plan to ensure that everything is foolproof. At the same time, we must also be prepared to deal with Xi Yu's possible counterattack."
The old servant nodded slightly and agreed.
The afterglow of dusk shines on the streets, Wenxuan, Ouyang Linlin and Xiaohong stroll on the bustling streets, enjoying the fun of shopping.
Ouyang Linlin looked up at the sky and said to Wenxuan: "It's getting late, my husband should be back home too. You can go and have a look."
Wenxuan nodded and replied gently: "Okay, I will go see him."
At the same time, Xi Yu had just returned home. After the funeral, Wan'er kept crying and was reluctant to leave the cemetery.
Xi Yu patiently comforted Wan'er and finally successfully brought her back.
Wan'er leaned on Xi Yu's shoulder, tears kept flowing.
Xi Yu gently patted her back and comforted her: "Wan'er, stop crying. The dead are gone. We must learn to accept reality and live a good life."
Wan'er raised her head, looked at Xi Yu through her hazy tears, and said softly: "I know, it's just hard to accept for a while. Thank you, king."
Xi Yu wiped Wan'er's tears and said with a smile: "Don't be polite, we are a family, I will always be by your side to support you."
Wan'er nodded slightly.
Xi Yu felt a lot of emotion in his heart.
He hopes that he can bring more happiness and peace to Wan'er and make her forget the pain of losing her loved ones.
Ouyang Linlin, Wenxuan and Xiaohong came to the door of Xi Yu's room. Before he could knock on the door, he heard the voices of Xi Yu and Wan'er coming from inside.
When Xi Yu heard the movement outside the door, he immediately got up and walked out.
When he saw Ouyang Linlin and others, he showed a happy smile on his face.
Ouyang Linlin stepped forward and gave Xi Yu a hug, saying, "Husband, I finally hope you back."
Xi Yu smiled and hugged her for a while, then let her go.
He nodded to Wenxuan, greeted him simply, and then led them into the room.
When Wan'er saw a visiting guest, she quickly got up and saluted the three of them.
Xi Yu introduced to Ouyang Linlin and others: "This is Wan'er, a friend I just met."
Ouyang Linlin greeted Wan'er with a smile and said, "Hello, Wan'er, I'm very happy to know you."
Wenxuan and Xiaohong also greeted Wan'er one after another.
Xi Yu briefly tells the story of his acquaintance with Wan'er.
But next, Ouyang Linlin asked him to tell him what happened in Luoyang.
"Okay, if you want to listen, I will tell you."
Ouyang Linlin, Wenxuan and Xiaohong sat next to Xi Yu, listening attentively as he told his experience.
Xi Yu sat on a chair, holding a cup of hot tea in his hand. His eyes were deep and bright, as if he was recalling those distant days. His voice was low and magnetic, bringing them into one wonderful story after another.
Ouyang Linlin stared at Xi Yu intently, her eyes full of admiration.
She nodded from time to time and responded to Xi Yu's story with a smile, as if she could feel everything he had experienced.
Wenxuan sat aside, listening quietly, completely attracted by Xi Yu's story.
Xiaohong held her chin with her hands, blinked her eyes, immersed in Xi Yu's story, as if she was in those scenes.
Xi Yu's story echoed in this quiet night, immersing Ouyang Linlin and others.
Ouyang Linlin's eyes fell on Xi Yu's face, and suddenly a question came to mind.
"By the way, husband, have you ever seen Your Majesty?" Ouyang Linlin asked softly, with a hint of curiosity in her tone.
Xi Yu frowned slightly, as if he was a little surprised by this issue.
He sighed softly and said, "I'm very tired today. Let's talk about this question tomorrow."
Ouyang Linlin showed a look of worry on her face, and she asked, "Isn't this a bit disrespectful? After all, he is..."
Xi Yu shook his head and interrupted Ouyang Linlin.
It doesn’t matter, I know what I’m doing. The most important thing now is to rest. We still have a lot to do tomorrow.”
Ouyang Linlin looked at Xi Yu's tired face and couldn't help feeling a feeling of heartache.
"Okay, you can rest early." Ouyang Linlin stood up and left.
Wenxuan said it was getting late, so he had to go back quickly.
They gently closed the door to the room.
Xi Yu had arranged a guest room for Wan'er and asked her to live in the guest room.
In the early morning, the sun is still beautiful in the clouds, revealing a ray of red glow, and a breeze blowing by, making it particularly cool and pleasant.
Ouyang Linlin and others were still immersed in their sleep, but Xi Yu had already woken up.
He put on his clothes and walked out of his room.
Xi Yu walked through the silent corridor and came to the door of Liu Xie's guest room.
He tidied up his clothes and then knocked on the door gently.
The soldiers responsible for protecting Liu Xie at the door immediately became alert when they heard the knock on the door.
They exchanged a few words in a low voice, and then one of the soldiers walked to the door and asked softly, "Who is it?"
Liu Xie sat in the room, lowering his head and thinking.
Suddenly, a slight sound of footsteps came from outside the door.
"I am Xi Yu, here to pay tribute to Your Majesty."
Immediately afterwards, the soldier's door was gently pushed open and a familiar figure appeared at the door.
Liu Xie raised his head and saw Xi Yu standing at the door with a smile on his face.
Liu Xie's eyes suddenly lit up. He stood up and walked quickly towards Xi Yu.
"Xi Yu, you are finally back!" Liu Xie's voice was full of excitement and surprise. He stepped forward and hugged Xi Yu tightly.
Xi Yu also reached out to hug Liu Xie and felt his enthusiasm.
"Your Majesty, please let go of me, I will bow to you."
Liu Xie let go of Xi Yu, took a step back, and looked at him carefully.
"This place is not in the court, so don't pay too much attention. You look a little tired, you must be tired from the journey. Sit down quickly." Liu Xie said, pulling Xi Yu to the chair.
Xi Yu smiled gratefully.
Liu Xie asked the Guardian to go out for the time being, and he wanted to talk to Xi Yu alone.
Liu Xie immediately said, "Tell me quickly, what happened along the way? Is Cao Pi dead?"
Xi Yu took a deep breath and began to tell what he saw and heard during the journey.
Liu Xie listened attentively and nodded from time to time. His eyes were full of dependence on Xi Yu.
When Liu Xie heard that Cao Pi was still alive, he felt very confused.
"Wouldn't you keep him for a disaster?"
Xi Yu certainly understood that Liu Xie wanted to kill Cao Pi so as not to pose any threat.
"Your Majesty, I certainly understand what you think, but don't worry, Cao Pi will not pose any threat."
But this answer obviously cannot satisfy Liu Xie.
"Then what is the use of keeping him? Is it to better humiliate him? If this is the case, I will support it."
Xi Yu didn't say anything more.
In fact, he didn't understand why Cao Pi had to be kept. What was the meaning of it? Do you still hope that he could follow him?
Liu Xie waved.
"Forget it, let's discuss some other issues. This time I came out, that's my turn to you, because there were thieves who appeared some time ago."
Xi Yu naturally knew this matter well.
"Your Majesty, you will be flattered when you think of coming to Weichen at the first time."
"And you have been away from home these days, and I always feel a little panicked. Now that you are back, I finally feel a little more at ease."
Liu Xie also took the initiative to share the story of his learning to play poker.
"That's great, as long as your Majesty is not lonely," Xi Yu smiled.
"I heard that you invented these pokers."
