Xi Yu and the other four continued on the winding path, sweat soaking their clothes.
While rubbing the sweat beads on his forehead with his sleeve, Xi Yu turned to Chen Shou and said, "Chen Shou, in another day, we can go to the temple where Ouyang Linlin is."
His face was full of anticipation, and his eyes were filled with excitement.
Chen Shou gasped slightly and responded: "That's so great!"
At this time, they passed by Wang Xiaoer's village.
Xi Yu slowed down, looked at the familiar scene, and told Chen Shou about the last time the bridge was built in this place.
Tuoba Yu took a few steps quickly, caught up with Xi Yu in front of him, and asked earnestly: "Husband, do you want to meet Wang Xiaoer and the house we lived in last time?" Tuoba Yu frowned slightly, with a hint of expectation in his eyes.
Xi Yu stopped, looked firmly at the road ahead, shook his head gently, and said, "No need, if the villagers see us, they will inevitably try to keep us or something." There was a hint of helplessness on his face, and he sighed softly.
Tuoba Yu was still a little unwilling to give up and said anxiously: "But we have a friendship with them!" His eyes widened, and his face was full of reluctance.
Xi Yu patted Tuoba Yu's shoulder and said earnestly: "I know your thoughts, but we still have important things to do in this trip, so we can't delay too much." His eyes were filled with understanding and determination.
Tuoba Yu pursed her lips, thought for a while, and finally nodded, saying, "Okay, let's listen to you."
The expression on his face also changed from eagerness to obedience.
The four of them continued to embark on the road ahead.
In the midst of a sad cloud and mist, Fangjun.
Those affected people who have received money from the rich but still have concerns are frowning and worried.
In the palace, Guan Yu sat on the chair with a depressed look on his face, with his hands folded and his eyes lowered.
Liu Bei paced back and forth on the side, looking anxious.
Liu Bei stopped, looked at Guan Yu and said, "Second brother, according to the address you provided, I sent someone to squat near Zhao Qiang's hometown, but I didn't find it. It is estimated that it would be difficult to find it." He shook his head helplessly, his face full of loss.
Guan Yu suddenly raised his head, widened his eyes, and said anxiously: "Brother, what should I do? If the treasure cannot be found, the people will still be troublesome!" His face was full of anxiety and reluctance.
Liu Bei sighed, walked to Guan Yu, patted his shoulder gently, and comforted him, "Second brother, don't worry, let's make a long-term plan."
But his own eyes also showed confusion and no rubbing.
Liu Bei said to Guan Yu with a serious expression: "Second brother, since the people know about this matter, Xi Yu will naturally know it. Why don't you write a letter to Xi Yu?" Liu Bei's eyes were filled with a hint of expectation and he stared at Guan Yu tightly.
Guan Yu frowned slightly, thought for a moment, nodded solemnly and responded: "What brother said is so great, I'll write a letter now." Guan Yu's eyes were firm and hesitated without hesitation.
After saying that, Guan Yu walked to the table, spread out the paper, picked up the pen, and looked focused and serious.
He sometimes bit the pen tip, sometimes narrowed his eyes and thought, and his thick eyebrows were twisted together at this moment.
Liu Bei looked around, with a hint of comfort on his face and said softly: "Second brother, be sure to write down the whole story clearly, and hope the Prime Minister can help us."
Guan Yu looked up at Liu Bei and responded: "Don't worry, brother, please write with your heart."
Soon, Guan Yu wrote the letter. He breathed a sigh of relief, handed the letter to Liu Bei, and said, "Brother, you have a look."
Liu Bei took the letter and read it carefully. A satisfied expression gradually appeared on his face, and said, "What is the best letter written by the second brother? It is well organized and sincere. I think Xi Yu will respond to this letter."
Guan Yu hugged his chest with his hands, his expression relaxed a little, and said, "I hope Xi Yu will not blame him."
Liu Bei carefully put the letter into the envelope.
After a while, the messenger set out with the letter.
Guan Yu and Liu Bei stood at the door of the palace, looking at the messenger's back as they left, their eyes full of anticipation.
Liu Bei sighed softly and said, "Second brother, let's see if this letter can work."
But Guan Yu was suddenly stunned. He frowned and said to Liu Bei with a puzzled look: "Brother, it is said that Xi Yu is working outside and is not in the Prime Minister's Mansion at all. How can this letter be delivered?" Guan Yu's eyes were full of anxiety and he stared at Liu Bei.
Liu Bei raised his head slightly, sighed lightly, and said slowly: "Second brother, I know this, of course, for me. But what we need to send a letter is an attitude. It is not necessary to let Xi Yu see this letter immediately. As long as Xi Yu knows that we have the will to confess our guilt." Liu Bei's face was calm and firm, and his eyes were deep and solemn.
After hearing this, Guan Yu suddenly realized, the anxiety on his face eased a little, and he said, "Brother is far-sighted, but I am not considerate."
Liu Bei smiled and looked at Guan Yu, saying, "Second brother, don't blame yourself. This matter is complicated, let's do it step by step."
Guan Yu nodded and said, "Then according to what my elder brother said. I just don't know how long it will take to spread this letter to Xi Yu." His brows were still slightly frowning, and there was a hint of worry in his eyes.
Liu Bei comforted, "Don't worry, second brother, there will be a certainty in the dark. As long as we are sincere, I believe that Xi Yu will know our feelings sooner or later."
Liu Bei's eyes were firm and gentle, revealing a reassuring power.
Guan Yu took a deep breath and said, "Brother said yes, I hope this letter can bring us a turning point." His expression gradually became firm.
Liu Bei nodded slightly and said, "Okay, second brother, let this matter be put aside for the time being, we still have many things to deal with."
In a remote mountain village, in a simple earthen house, a man was squatting in front of the stove and boiling water intently.
The firelight reflected on his face, half of the intact face was reflected red, and the half of the face that had happened before was intertwined with scars, making it look hideous and terrifying.
Inside the house, an old lady sat on a shabby chair and kept sighing.
Her face was full of sorrow and her eyes were full of worry, and she said, "Son, you have a face. Oh, you can't find a wife!"
The man raised his head, a trace of helplessness and pain flashed in his eyes, and said, "Mom, don't sigh, this is fate." He bit his lip, lowered his head and continued to add fuel.
The old lady wiped the tears from the corner of her eyes with the corner of her clothes and said with a sob: "My miserable son is blamed for being incompetent and causing you to suffer this crime."
The man stood up, walked to the old lady, and comforted her, "Mom, don't say that, my son doesn't blame you."
His hand gently placed on the old lady's shoulder, and a forced smile appeared on his face.
The old lady raised her head and looked at her son's half ghostly face, and tears flowed down again.
Seeing that the old lady was crying sadly, the man felt even more uncomfortable. He squatted down, held the old lady's hand, and said, "Mom, don't cry and ruin your body. Even if your son is a bachelor's life, he will be filial to you."
His eyes were firm and sincere, but his half-fear face seemed a little distorted.
The old lady patted her son's hand and sobbed, "Mom knows that you are filial, but Mom hopes to have a caring girl to take care of you, and she can close her eyes even when she leaves." She looked at her son, her eyes full of distress and unwillingness.
The man stood up, took a deep breath, pretended to be relaxed, and said, "Mom, this matter cannot be forced. Maybe one day the fate will come, and naturally there will be a girl who will not dislike me." But his eyes revealed a hint of confusion and loss.
The old lady sighed and murmured, "I hope God can open his eyes and give my son a good marriage." After that, she sighed again.
The man stopped talking and turned back to the stove. Looking at the hot water churning in the pot, his heart was mixed.
At this moment, an old man returned home excitedly humming a small song.
He carried a young unconscious woman on his back, with a look of special joy on his face, and hurriedly walked into the yard and quickly put the woman in the woodshed.
The old woman heard the movement and walked out of the house, and saw this scene and her eyes widened.
The old man said to the old woman excitedly: "Old woman, I found a wife for our son today!" His eyes were shining and his mouth was grinning.
The old woman was startled, looked in disbelief, and asked in a trembling voice: "Old man, what's going on?"
She quickly walked to the woodshed and looked at the unconscious woman with frowns.
The old man said with a gaze: "When I was chopping wood on the mountain, I saw this girl lying on the side of the road and unconscious. I thought, isn't this just for my son to be a wife!"
The old woman gave him a blank look and said worriedly: "You are so stupid, don't do anything that hurts the world! Can this woman of unknown origin be okay?"
The old man waved his hand and said, "What are you afraid of? When she wakes up, let's treat her well. Can she still run away?"
The old woman was still worried and said, "If this matter spreads, how can we be a human being!"
The old man patted his chest and said with a confident look that she should not worry at all.
"Old woman, just keep your heart in your stomach, there will be no trouble." His eyes were round and his tone was very firm.
The old lady leaned closer and looked at the girl carefully, with a look of surprise on her face and said, "Old man, look at the girl's appearance is different from the people of the Central Plains. She probably is an alien." Her brows frowned even more, and her eyes were full of doubts and worries.
The old man waved his hand impatiently and said, "Don't worry about so much! Just be a wife for your son." There was a hint of eagerness and rudeness on his face.
The old lady straightened up, glared at the old man, and said, "You old guy, don't think about the consequences when you do things. What if you cause trouble?" She put her hands on her hips, her lips trembling with anger.
The old man stammered his neck and said, "What trouble can you have? You are just timid and timid!"
The old lady shook her head helplessly, looked at the unconscious girl again, and sighed deeply.
The old man couldn't wait to call his son Sun Haixu in and shouted at the top of his throat: "Haixu, come in quickly!"
Sun Haixu hurried into the woodshed when he heard the sound, with a look of confusion on his face.
The old man explained the situation with a gaze: "Son, Dad got you a wife and lie down here!"
When Sun Haixu heard this, his eyes suddenly lit up, and he was so excited that his hands didn't know where to put them. He said in a trembling voice: "Dad, this... is this true? I dream of finding a wife!" An excited blush appeared on his face, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but rise.
The old man smiled proudly and said, "Then there is still a fake? Can dad lie to you?"
Sun Haixu hurried to the unconscious woman, looked at her carefully, and muttered to herself: "This girl is quite handsome."
At this moment, the girl woke up slowly. She slowly opened her eyes and saw that she was in a strange environment, and her eyes were filled with confusion.
It turns out that she is the princess of the Rest Empire.
There was a civil strife in the Anxu Empire. She was chased and actually fled to the Central Plains.
When the old man saw her awake, his face immediately filled with a smile and said to her anxiously: "Girl, it was me who saved you. From now on, you must be your wife for my son!" The old man's eyes flashed with a light of greed and eagerness.
When the princess heard this, she was stunned at first, then looked around in horror.
When her eyes fell on Sun Haixu's half-fearing face, she was so scared that she lost her face and screamed: "Ah!"
Her face turned pale in an instant, she covered her mouth with her hands, her eyes wide open, full of fear and panic.
Sun Haixu lowered his head awkwardly and rubbed the corners of his clothes with his hands crampedly. The old man was angry and shouted loudly: "What's the name? It's your blessing to be your wife for my son!"
The princess trembled and said in a crying voice: "You let me go, I don't want it!"
When the old woman heard the old man's scolding, she frowned and stared at the old man and said, "Why do you old man say so badly? It scared the girl!"
She was full of dissatisfaction and walked to the princess while talking, trying to comfort her.
Sun Haixu also quickly took a step forward and said anxiously: "Miss, don't be afraid. Although there is something wrong with my face, my heart is kind, and I will definitely treat you well." His eyes were sincere and sincere, with a hint of humility and prayer on his face.
The princess suddenly had a flash of eyes, and she thought to herself: She must not return to China now, and now she must find a place to settle down. Maybe she should be perfunctory with them first.
So, she squeezed a smile on her face and said to the old man: "Thank you for saving me. But as for marrying your son, you must consider it carefully." The princess's smile was a little reluctant, and her eyes were still filled with uneasiness and vigilance.
When the old man heard this, he was about to get angry, but the old woman quickly grabbed him, and at the same time he held the princess' hand, and said gently: "Girl, let's live here first, and let's talk about what's going on in the future."
The old woman smiled all over her face, her eyes were full of love and concern, and she gently patted the princess's hand.
The old man snorted, turned his head and stopped talking.
The princess nodded slightly and said, "thank you, thank you." Her expression relaxed a little, but she was still a little alert.
Afterwards, the old woman hurriedly signaled the old man to go out with her with her eyes.
The old man looked reluctant, but he still walked out.
After coming outside, the old woman frowned and said in a low voice: "Old man, we have to calm the girl first. How can people stand your attitude like you were just talking?"
The old woman said, pointing the old man's chest with her fingers.
The old man was still stubborn at first and muttered stubbornly: "I'm not for my son." But under the old woman's stern eyes, the old man finally got angry, nodded, and said, "Okay, you've made sense."
There was a hint of helplessness and compromise on his face.
The old woman then breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Then let it be decided. Don't lose your temper when you go back."
The old woman reminded her indifference: "Old man, we have to explain some methods to do things, so don't scare the girl away." Her eyes were full of seriousness and worry.
The old man scratched his head and replied, "I know, I know, I will listen to you."
The two looked at each other, then turned around and walked into the room.
After entering the house, the old woman said to the princess with a smile on her face, "Girl, the room has been cleaned up for you, you can rest well first."
The princess nodded slightly and said softly: "Thank you aunt."
The old woman waved her hand and said, "Don't be polite, just treat this place as your own."
Then the princess followed the old lady to the room.
The old man looked at their backs and muttered to himself: "I hope this will happen."
Sun Haixu stood aside, his face filled with uncontrollable joy, and he thought, "How great it would be if he could really marry this beautiful woman."
His eyes were full of longing, and the corners of his mouth were unconsciously raised, as if he had seen a beautiful future.
He held his hands in front of his chest, leaned back slightly, immersed in his fantasy: "At that time, we will work together at sunrise and rest at sunset, have a few more children, and the whole family will be happy."
As he said that, he couldn't help laughing, the laughter was filled with the desire for a happy future life.
The more Sun Haixu thought about it, the more excited he became. He couldn't help but start paced around the house, and kept muttering: "She is so beautiful and looks gentle. She will definitely be able to keep the house in order in the future." His eyes shining and the smile on his face became brighter.
At this time, the old man walked in and saw Sun Haixu's absent-minded look, and joked: "Look at your unpromising look, you have not even had a single horoscope, so you are so happy!"
Sun Haixu scratched his head embarrassedly and said, "Dad, I can't help it. If I can marry her, our family will be blessed."
The old man snorted and said, "Then you have to perform well and don't make this happen."
Sun Haixu nodded quickly and said confidently: "Dad, don't worry, I will be nice to her and make her willingly marry me."
Sun Haixu stood firmly, looked at the old man with a firm look, and said, "Dad, I know how to do it. I will work hard to let her see my sincerity and ability." He clenched his fists, as if he was cheering himself up.
The old man patted Sun Haixu on the shoulder and said, "Okay, son, dad believes in you. But this matter is not urgent, so you have to take it slowly."
