Late at night, Xi Yu and others finally came back.
Liu Bei rushed forward anxiously and said apologetically: "Prime Minister, the official has heard of someone quarreling in the vegetable market. It's all because of the official's lack of strict management." As he said that, he lowered his head and looked depressed.
Xi Yu smiled and waved his hand, comforting him, "It's okay, this is not a big deal."
Liu Bei quickly raised his head.
He felt that even if Xi Yu didn't pursue it, he would have to express his attitude, and such things would never be allowed to happen again.
Xi Yu said thoughtfully: "But you should pay attention to it in the future and pay more attention to these small issues."
Liu Bei solemnly agreed: "Don't worry, Prime Minister, I will definitely pay attention."
Xi Yu smiled and looked at Liu Bei, asking with a hint of expectation in his eyes: "Liu Bei, have you read the newspaper I have run?"
Liu Bei nodded quickly, with an admiration on his face, and exclaimed: "I have seen it, and it's done very well!"
Hearing Liu Bei's praise, a satisfied smile appeared on Xi Yu's face and said with satisfaction: "Haha, that's good."
After saying that, Xi Yu stretched, yawned, and said lazily: "Okay, then I'll go to rest in a while." Then he turned around leisurely and left.
Xianbei.
Haishe looked a little haggard and said softly to the well-behaved maid beside him: "I will go to say goodbye to Tuoba Tianlong tomorrow. I am leaving here. According to your suggestion, I will go to find Xi Yu."
The maid nodded slightly, and a hint of approval flashed in her eyes.
"Well, madam, this is pretty good."
The next day, the sun shone in the courtyard, and Hai came to Tuoba Tianlong gracefully with his body.
She lowered her head slightly, her eyes were slightly red, her expression was full of sadness, and her voice was trembling: "Chief, I...my man is dead, I feel very sad. I want to go back to my parents' home for a while to sort out my mood."
Tuoba Tianlong looked at her appearance and felt a little pity in his heart. He nodded quickly and said, "Okay, Haishe, you go and take good care of yourself."
A trace of undetectable ease flashed in Haishe's eyes, and he responded softly: "Well, thank you." Then he turned around and left slowly, with a hint of determination and expectation in his steps.
In this way, Haishe and the maid packed their luggage and came to the stable together.
Haishe looked forward with a firm look, and turned over the horse, and the maid followed him onto another horse.
Haishe looked back at the place where he lived, a trace of complex emotions flashed in his eyes, then shook the reins and shouted: "Let's go."
The maid responded, and the two horses slowly stepped away and walked towards the distance.
They walked along the path, and the sound of horse hooves resounded across the empty fields.
Haishe straightened his back, the wind blew her hair, and her eyes kept staring at the unknown road ahead.
The maid followed her closely, and the two of them were speechless all the way, but they had a tacit understanding.
As time goes by, they are getting further and further away from the Xianbei territory, and the scenery behind them gradually blurs until they disappear from sight.
Haishe said to herself in her heart that this is a new beginning and she is going to find her own future.
The maid also embarked on this journey full of variables with Haishe with her expectations for the unknown.
The next morning, the sun shone softly on the earth.
Xi Yu led everyone to the city gate slowly, and saw that many people had already gathered at the city gate, with sincere smiles on their faces.
An old man walked up, holding some local specialties in his hand, and said gratefully: "Prime Minister, you are leaving now. These are our wishes."
Xi Yu hurried forward, took it with both hands, his eyes were filled with emotion, and he said with a smile: "Thank you everyone, you are so polite."
Other people also spoke, "It is the prime minister and leader who are good at leading the countryside, which makes our county prosperous!" Their eyes were full of respect and love.
Tuoba Yu stood aside, looked at the scene, showed a proud smile on his face, and thought to himself: Xi Yu is indeed worthy of everyone's respect.
Xi Yu looked at the enthusiastic people in front of him.
"Thank you everyone. It is everyone's efforts that made Fangjun today come true. I will always remember everyone."
After saying that, he bowed deeply to the people.
After Xi Yu slowly walked out for a while, he suddenly stopped and stopped.
His face was very ugly, his brows were frowning tightly, and his lips were pursed into a line.
Seeing this, Tuoba Yu walked forward with a puzzled look on his face and asked with concern: "Husband, what's going on? The people all told me to see you off. This is obviously a good thing."
Xi Yu turned his head, looked at Ouyang Linlin with a sharp look, and asked in a deep voice: "Ouyang Linlin, do you know why I was angry?"
Ouyang Linlin frowned slightly, thought for a moment, then suddenly realized: "I understand, there must be Liu Bei's arrangements here."
Xi Yu nodded heavily, gritted his teeth and said, "That's right, I'm just angry because of this."
A trace of anger flashed in his eyes, and he was extremely dissatisfied with Liu Bei's actions.
Xi Yu's face was gloomy and shouted to the gatekeeper: "Go and call Liu Bei right now!"
The soldier was intimidated by Xi Yu's momentum and quickly responded: "Yes!"
Xi Yu raised his hand and pointed to a small wood not far ahead, and said in a cold tone: "We are waiting there." After that, he walked towards the small wood. Tuoba Yu and Ouyang Linlin looked at each other and hurriedly followed.
Soon, Liu Bei rushed over. He looked at Xi Yu's extremely ugly face, and he was full of doubt. He asked carefully: "Prime Minister, I wonder why you asked your subordinates to come?"
Xi Yu turned his head and stared at Liu Bei tightly, and the anger in his eyes seemed to be about to gush out.
Xi Yu stared at Liu Bei with a torch, and asked in a cold voice: "Liu Bei, are you really not aware of it? Don't you know why I'm looking for you?"
Liu Bei shook his head at a loss, at a loss, "I... I don't know."
At this time, Ouyang Linlin whispered: "Liu Bei, you revealed the affairs of the Prime Minister and then had an impact on the people. This is a bad thing to do with good intentions."
When Liu Bei heard this, he suddenly realized it and immediately looked ashamed. He hurriedly knelt down and said anxiously: "Prime Minister, I know I am wrong, I plead guilty!"
Xi Yu took a deep breath and said slowly: "I just need to serve the people steadily. There is no need to do these pomp and act every time. Although the people sincerely thank me, how could they do this without your hints and arrangements?" After that, Xi Yu shook his head helplessly.
Liu Bei lowered his head and admitted his mistake: "I am not considering it carefully, so I ask the Prime Minister to punish him."
Xi Yu looked at Liu Bei's sincere appearance and his anger gradually subsided.
He sighed helplessly, waved his hand and said, "Forget it, you should be more pragmatic in the future. We are leaving now."
However, Liu Bei suddenly burst into tears. While wiping his tears, he said, "The Prime Minister finally came here once. Once he left, I don't know when he will meet again!"
His crying was heartbroken, as if he was really sad.
When the others saw this, they were moved by it and were moved.
However, Xi Yu frowned slightly. He knew Liu Bei too much and knew that he liked to cry to win others' favor.
Thinking of this, a hint of disgust arose in Xi Yu's heart.
Xi Yu thought to himself: "Liu Bei, Liu Bei, you always use this method to gain sympathy from others, but I don't like you. I just hope you can truly do something practical for the people and stop doing these superficial skills."
Xi Yu looked at Liu Bei and understood what he was thinking, but did not expose him.
"We will meet again in the future. If you have time, you can go to Youzhou for two days and meet Guan Yu by the way."
After hearing Xi Yu's words, Liu Bei felt even more moved, and tears rolled in his eyes.
He swallowed and said, "Prime Minister... you are so nice to me."
As Liu Bei watched, Xi Yu and others gradually drifted away. It was not until their figures disappeared into the distance that Liu Bei withdrew his gaze.
He wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes, and also wiped the sweat from his forehead.
"This movie is really unpredictable..." Liu Bei thought to himself.
While moving forward, Tuoba Yu sighed: "Liu Bei's approach is really touching. He is such a rare good person."
Xi Yu just smiled and said nothing.
He knew in his heart that Liu Bei's behavior might have some sincerity, but he could not rule out that he had other purposes.
At night, several people came to a temple. Ouyang Linlin was immediately delighted and said, "We can go and worship Buddha! I don't know if we can stay here. If possible, we can save a fee to go to the inn."
Xi Yu nodded and said, "You can go and contact me."
He walked to the temple and talked to the monks in the temple.
The other party agreed to their move-in.
In the temple, they prayed devoutly. Ouyang Linlin closed her eyes and silently made her wish.
Xi Yu watched quietly from the side, feeling very calm.
There are many empty rooms in the temple for several people to live there.
Xi Yu looked at these rooms and thought to himself.
He felt that Buddhism was a quiet place and it was not easy to do things between husband and wife at night. He hoped that everyone could live separately, one room for each person.
During a conversation with the monks in the temple, Xi Yu learned that there was an old monk and more than a dozen young monks here.
That night, everyone was very quiet and rested in their rooms.
When Xi Yu was lying on the bed in the room, he suddenly realized that he had not rested alone in the same bed for a long time. This feeling made him feel refreshed.
The next morning, Xi Yu got up early.
He opened the door and heard the sound of chanting scriptures coming from the lobby.
The sound was melodious and deep, which made his heart feel an unprecedented tranquility.
Xi Yu walked out of the room and came to the lobby.
He saw the old monk leading the young monks to recite scriptures and worship Buddha.
The sun shines on them through the windows, giving people a sacred and warm feeling.
Xi Yu stood quietly aside, looking at the environment of the temple.
The walls of the temple are carved with exquisite Buddha statues and murals, and quaint lanterns are hung on the pillars.
The air is filled with a faint smell of sandalwood, which makes people feel very comfortable.
Xi Yu sighed in his heart: "This temple is really a peaceful and warm place. Here, people can forget the troubles of the world and find inner peace."
He decided that he would come here more and experience the tranquility and warmth when he had the chance in the future.
After the monks delivered the scriptures, Xi Yu planned to say goodbye to them.
However, the old monk looked at Xi Yu and sighed deeply, as if he was interrogating a prisoner.
Seeing this, Xi Yu hurriedly asked, "Master, what's going on?"
The old monk looked at Xi Yu and said slowly: "Donor, please follow me to the Zen room."
Xi Yu was confused, but he still followed the old monk to the Zen room.
The Zen room is simply decorated, with only one table and a few futons.
The old monk signaled Xi Yu to sit down, and then he also sat down on the cushion opposite him.
The old monk looked at Xi Yu and said slowly: "Donor, let's not hide it. A golden Buddha worshipped in our temple was stolen. And you and your group happened to be here last night, so..." The old monk wanted to speak but stopped, and a trace of doubt flashed in his eyes.
After hearing the old monk's words, Xi Yu was shocked. He did not expect such a thing to happen.
He frowned and said, "Master, do you suspect that we stole the Golden Buddha? How is this possible? We just passed by here and stayed here for a night. How could we do such a thing?"
The old monk sighed and said, "Donor, I don't want to doubt you either, but this fact is too coincidental. The Golden Buddha is as big as a human body, and it is not easy to steal it. And you happen to live here and you happen to lose things, which makes me have to doubt it."
Xi Yu pondered for a moment and said, "Master, I understand your doubts. But we really have nothing to do with this matter. We have been resting here last night and have never left the temple. And we have no reason to steal the golden Buddha."
The old monk nodded and said, "Donor, I believe you are innocent. But this golden Buddha is very important to our temple, and we must find it."
Xi Yu looked at the old monk's expression and understood in his heart that although he kept saying that he would not doubt himself, in fact, the old monk had already doubted them in his heart.
Xi Yu pondered for a moment, then said, "Since the master doubts about us, we will not rush to the road until we find the things, so as to prove our innocence."
After hearing Xi Yu's words, the old monk nodded and said, "It's so good, then I'll have a donor."
Xi Yu returned to the room, gathered everyone, and then told him what had just happened.
After hearing this, Tuoba Yu was very angry. She said angrily: "This old monk is so rude. We kindly help him, but he doubts us. Why don't we kill him and put aside all."
After hearing Tuoba Yu's words, Xi Yu hurriedly said, "Don't be rude. We are here to help, not to cause trouble. Moreover, we cannot do extreme behavior just because of other people's suspicion."
Xi Yu's face was very serious. Seeing that he was so serious, Tuoba Yu stopped talking.
Xi Yu thought to himself: "In ancient times, there was no surveillance. It would probably be very difficult to investigate this matter clearly."
At this time, Song Shuwen put forward different opinions: "Can the old monk lie to blackmail us?"
After hearing this, Tuoba Yu immediately agreed, "Yes, Xi Yu, if it really doesn't work, let you reveal your identity. I don't believe that he dares to blackmail us."
Xi Yu shook his head and said, "I don't think this is a good idea. Let's find out the truth first."
Seeing that Ouyang Linlin had not spoken, Xi Yu turned around and asked, "Ouyang Linlin, do you have any objection?"
Ouyang Linlin said hesitantly: "I...I can't say anything. I devote myself to the Buddha and treat all the monks as good people, but I can't make arbitrary judgments."
Xi Yu nodded and said, "Well, your thoughts make sense. Then let's be calm first and wait until I go to the old monk to discuss it."
After Xi Yu left, Tuoba Yu suddenly laughed and said to the others: "Haha, I think it's good to stay, there's food and accommodation anyway."
Xi Yu came to the old monk's Zen room and said to the old monk: "Master, I hope you can tell me where the lost thing is."
The old monk nodded, then led Xi Yu to a Zen room.
Xi Yu observed carefully and found that there seemed to be no trace of anyone committing the crime here.
Xi Yu said to the old monk: "Master, I will do my best to investigate this matter."
The old monk said with all his strength: "Then I'll have a donor."
Xi Yu nodded, then left the Zen room. He returned to his room and began to think about how to investigate this matter.
After a while, several young monks came to the old monk's Zen room.
They looked angry, and one of the little monks said, "Master, I don't think I can just let them go. We kindly take them in for the night, but they are actually thieves!"
Another young monk also echoed: "That's right, we should report them to the official!"
After hearing this, the old monk sighed and said, "I didn't expect this to be the case. However, we should not rush to report to the official. After all, they did not admit that they had stolen things, and we had no evidence."
The little monks were a little unwilling to accept it after hearing this. One of the little monks said, "What should I do? Could you just let them go?"
The old monk thought for a while and said, "Let them stay first. Didn't they say they wanted to help us find the lost treasure? Let them look for it. If they find it, it means they are innocent; if they can't find it, it's not too late to report to the official."
After hearing this, the little monks felt it made sense, so they nodded.
The old monk said again: "Don't make a name for this matter, so as not to affect the reputation of our temple."
