Ouyang Linlin and the other two returned to the Prime Minister's Mansion first.
Sun Shangxiang, Xi Shi and others were playing cards in the house. When they were playing lively, they suddenly heard from the servants that Ouyang Linlin was back.
When everyone heard this, they immediately put down the cards in their hands and happily came to the yard to greet them.
As soon as he saw Ouyang Linlin, Sun Shangxiang quickly stepped forward, grabbed her hand, with a joyful smile on her face, and said, "Linlin, you are back, we are all worried about it!"
Xi Shi also walked up, her eyes full of concern: "Yes, I haven't seen you these few days, are you okay if you are outside?"
The sisters said one by one, and they looked happy as if they were relatives who had been reunited after a long separation.
Several people enthusiastically invited Ouyang Linlin to play cards, but Ouyang Linlin looked tired and waved her hand and said, "Sisters, I am really tired all the way. Let me rest first."
Seeing that she was like this, everyone stopped forcing her.
Xi Yu and Wenxuan were still on their way to the academy.
At this time, several pedestrians recognized Wenxuan, surrounded him excitedly, and said, "Isn't this the one posted?"
Xi Yu frowned and said seriously: "This is what Wenxuan appeared on his own, not what you discovered, so there will be no reward. Otherwise, wouldn't people on the street have rewards?"
After hearing this, a few people showed a look of depression on their faces and muttered in a low voice: "I thought I could get some rewards."
But after all, the prime minister said so, and they didn't dare to refute it, so they could only disperse in awkward manner.
Lu Su was still worried in the academy and paced back and forth in the courtyard.
He frowned, the wrinkles on his forehead seemed to be getting deeper, and he kept chanting: "What should I do, what should I do..."
He was thinking that if he couldn't find Wenxuan, the prime minister would blame him in the future and he would not be able to bear this responsibility.
Thinking of this, he couldn't help but sigh heavily, "Oh, if there really is one day, my career will probably be ruined."
Lu Su looked up at the sky. The sunlight was a little dazzling, but he didn't realize it at all. He felt like a huge rock was pressing on his heart.
"In just a few days, I actually felt like I was several years old." He shook his head helplessly, his heart full of sorrow was nowhere to be relieved.
At this moment, Wenxuan and Xi Yu finally appeared at the gate.
The few people guarding the gate were standing listlessly, but when they saw Wenxuan coming, their eyes lit up instantly and their faces were full of surprise.
One of them shouted excitedly: "Teacher Wenxuan is back!"
The others also cheered and ran towards the yard, shouting, "Teacher Wenxuan is back!"
A guard smiled and said excitedly: "Lord Lu Su is almost looking for something crazy, now it's fine!"
As he said that, several people hurriedly saluted to Xi Yu, "Greetings to the Prime Minister!"
Xi Yu nodded slightly and said, "No gift."
When Lu Su heard someone shouting at the door, he thought he had heard it wrong at first, "Is it because I was too worried and had hallucinations?" he muttered in his heart.
With doubts, he quickly walked outside. As soon as he reached the door, he saw Wenxuan and Xi Yu riding a horse. He couldn't believe his eyes, rubbed his eyes hard and murmured to himself: "Am I dreaming?"
After seeing that it was indeed Wenxuan and Xi Yu, his hands were trembling with excitement. The haze on his face instantly swept away, and he shouted loudly: "Teacher Wenxuan, Prime Minister, you are back!"
When he entered the office, Wenxuan looked guilty and lowered his head and slowly said that he had fallen into a coma in the rain: "I accidentally fell into a coma in the rain. Fortunately, I met the Prime Minister. It was the Prime Minister who asked Dr. Song to save me. I delayed the course and made my classmates and the college worry about me. I am guilty and willing to be punished."
Lu Su waved his hand quickly, his face full of relief: "It's okay if you get there, there's no need to punish you. Just be careful in the future."
Wenxuan raised his head and looked firm: "No, Lord Lu, the college has the rules of the college. If I make a mistake, I should be punished, otherwise it will be difficult to convince the public."
Xi Yu also nodded and said with a serious expression: "No rules can lead to square order. Since Wenxuan made a mistake, he must be punished so that the order of the academy can be maintained."
After Lu Su heard this from Yu Yu, he couldn't refute it anymore and agreed.
Wenxuan said sincerely: "Then I can report the whole school to criticize me, and I will also explain the situation to the students and guarantee that I will not make any more mistakes in the future."
Lu Su also agreed and continued, "Teacher Dongfang Hong was particularly concerned about you. He went out to look for you yesterday."
Wenxuan was stunned when he heard this, a trace of unnatural flashed across his face, but he didn't say anything else.
But Wenxuan thought for a while and said, "Even so, I'd better thank Dongfang Hong."
Xi Yu nodded slightly and said, "It's over, and I'm leaving too."
Wenxuan replied softly, "Prime Minister, I'll take you there." As he said that, he followed Xi Yu and sent him out.
After Xi Yu left, Wenxuan took a deep breath and came to the office to find Dongfang Hong.
When Dongfang Hong saw Wenxuan, she was stunned, her eyes wide open, and she couldn't believe her eyes.
He quickly came to Wenxuan's side, subconsciously touched Wenxuan's arm, and murmured: "Am I dreaming?"
Wenxuan frowned slightly and said with an unhappy look: "Let you respect yourself and let go of your hands!"
Dongfang Hong woke up like a dream, realizing that she had lost her composure, she quickly retracted her hand and apologized repeatedly with a flushed face: "I'm sorry, Wenxuan, I was so excited for a moment."
Wenxuan briefly explained the reason for his disappearance. As he was talking, Xi Yu was back.
Dongfang Hong was also very pleased to see Wenxuan safe and sound.
Wenxuan said: "I heard from Lu Su that you have looked for me, and I came to thank you specifically."
Dongfang Hong's eyes were burning and she said anxiously: "This is all right, because you should understand my feelings for Wenxuan."
Wenxuan's face darkened and he said, "Stop it now, don't say anything more."
After saying that, he turned around and left without looking back.
Dongfang Hong looked at Wenxuan's departure back and sighed helplessly.
Wenxuan went to class. She stood on the podium and explained her disappearance to her classmates with a serious expression.
After listening to the students, some expressed their understanding, while others were worried about her.
The college also quickly made a penalty decision and posted a penalty notice in a conspicuous position in the yard.
The teachers and students passing by stopped to watch and talked a lot.
After Xi Yu returned home, the guard immediately saluted him respectfully.
Xi Yu waved his hand, signaling them to avoid gifts, and then strode back to the room.
As soon as he entered the house, he saw that the house was neat and orderly, and his bed was even clean and tidy.
Although I am not here, I have someone to clean up my bed every day.
He lay down immediately and couldn't help but sigh with satisfaction: "Ah, it's so comfortable. I've lived in the inn outside for so long, but I don't feel comfortable with my own bed."
He closed his eyes and felt the familiar breath and soft bed. The fatigue of the past few days seemed to have dissipated a lot at this moment.
After a while, Xi Yu remembered the letter Liu Bei sent to deliver. He muttered: "I almost forgot about this."
So I got up from the bed, walked to the table, reached out to pick up the letter and prepared to open it and look at it.
At this moment, Sun Shangxiang walked in with a bowl of lotus seed soup and said gently: "Husband, this is the lotus seed soup I prepared for you. You have been away for a long time, and I am very worried about it."
Xi Yu turned his head, looked at Sun Shangxiang, and said with a smile: "I'm interested. But I'm not hungry now, I'll eat later." After that, he focused on reading the letter.
Sun Shangxiang gently placed the lotus seed soup on the table, stood quietly aside, looking at the focused Xi Yu, and no longer making any noise to disturb him.
After reading the letter, Xi Yu's face suddenly changed and he was shocked and said, "How could Guan Yu do that?"
He frowned, his face full of disbelief.
He immediately turned to Sun Shangxiang and said, "This letter is a conspiracy."
Sun Shangxiang asked in confusion, "Husband, what's going on?"
Xi Yu looked solemn, handed her the letter and said, "You can see it yourself."
Sun Shangxiang took the letter and looked carefully.
After a while, Xi Yu asked Sun Shangxiang to tell him what he thought.
Sun Shangxiang frowned slightly, shook her head and said, "Husband, I am stupid and cannot make a correct judgment on this matter."
Xi Yu snorted coldly and said, "This must be a conspiracy. Liu Bei used a strategy to keep Guan Yu. It's simply outrageous."
After listening to the Yu Yu, Sun Shangxiang pondered for a moment, and responded slowly: "After my husband's analysis, I feel something is right."
Xi Yu frowned slightly and said to Sun Shangxiang: "You go back first, I'll eat lotus seed soup later."
Sun Shangxiang gently blessed her body and replied, "Yes, husband." Then she turned around and retreated.
Xi Yu sat at the table, continuing to think about the problems brought by the letter, and his face became more and more serious.
After a while, he let out a long sigh, pulled his thoughts from the letter for the time being, and turned to look at the bowl of lotus seed soup.
At this time, the lotus seed soup was no longer steaming. Xi Yu picked up the bowl and gently stirred it with a spoon. After taking a bite, he felt the taste was slightly cool, but it was still sweet and delicious.
In the evening, Xi Yu decided to call out the wives of Ouyang Linlin, and everyone sat around the house, with the candlelight swaying.
Xi Shi took the lead in breaking the silence and asked specifically: "Why is Tuoba Yu missing?"
Xi Yu's face immediately became gloomy, with a chill in his eyes, and he said sternly: "No one is allowed to mention her again in the future!"
Everyone was so scared by his sudden anger that they dared not speak. The atmosphere in the room instantly solidified, and the scene was a little awkward for a while.
The next day, Xi Yu decided to deal with Liu Bei's affairs later.
He walked to Gan Mei's room, but heard laughter and joy coming from inside.
He was curious and walked in immediately.
Seeing this, Gan Mei and a few girls quickly saluted.
Gan Mei said softly with apologies: "Husband, I heard that you were back yesterday, but it was too late when I found out, so I couldn't go to greet you."
Xi Yu smiled slightly, waved his hand and said, "It's okay." As he said that, his eyes searched the house anxiously, "I'm here this time to see my son Xi Ping's safe."
When he saw Xi Ping'an's cute appearance, Xi Yu's eyes were full of love.
好长时间不见,发现戏平安长大了不少.他兴奋地走上前,将戏平安高高举了起来,脸上洋溢着幸福的笑容,嘴里还不停地逗着:“我的平安小宝贝,又长大了哟!”
But Xi Ping'an just giggled and couldn't call anyone.
But for Xi Yu, this innocent laughter was like the sound of nature, which made him feel extremely satisfied and comfortable in his heart.
He looked at his son's pink face, as if all his fatigue and worries disappeared at this moment.
Xi Yu hugged Xi Ping'an and paced back and forth in the room, murmured softly: "Pingan, Ping'an, grow up quickly, Dad hopes that you can call me as soon as possible."
His eyes were full of expectations and longing, and his face was filled with the happiness and pride of being a father.
After a while, Xi Yu left Gan Mei's room and saw Xi Shi in the yard.
Xi Shi was walking in a strange way, her brows frowned slightly, and she looked very painful.
Xi Yu hurriedly stepped forward to support her and asked with concern: "Xi Shi, what's going on with you?"
Xi Shi complained coquettishly: "It's because you were too fierce last night, my husband."
After hearing this, Xi Yu couldn't help laughing, hugged Xi Shi in his arms, and said softly: "Isn't that because I miss you so much?"
After Xi Yu returned to the room, she just sat down and was about to rest for a while, when Song Meijiao walked in.
She said with a smile: "Husband, I heard yesterday that Sun Shangxiang sent lotus seed soup, and today I also made a soup."
Xi Yu smiled helplessly, waved his hand and said, "Mijiao, there is no need to look like this. I'm already full."
The smile on Song Meijiao's face slackened slightly, and a trace of loss flashed in her eyes, but soon returned to normal, and said coquettishly: "Will my husband let my heart down?"
Seeing Song Meijiao's face showing loss, Xi Yu felt soft, and stood up and pulled her hand, and said in a gentle voice: "How could Meijiao not know about her husband? But I really can't eat it now."
Xi Yu smiled and shaved her nose: "But you are such a caring person."
Song Meijiao gave him a coquettish look: "I am very kind to my husband, that's true."
But in order not to disappoint her, Xi Yu picked up the spoon, took a few bites seriously, and then said, "Meijiao, this soup tastes very good, but I am so full that I can't eat more."
When Song Meijiao saw him eating, she smiled happily on her face: "It's good if you like it, husband."
Xi Yu smiled and nodded: "Okay, Meijiao, you go back and rest first."
Song Meijiao was blessed and said softly: "Then I will leave, husband, don't be too tired."
She left.
Next, Xi Yu sat at the desk, frowned, and thought carefully about Liu Bei again.
He felt that this matter was extraordinary and he had to go to Fangjun to investigate it in person.
After making up his mind, he quickly packed his luggage, turned over and galloped away.
But he didn't tell anyone about this.
At night, several wives gathered together, and Xi Shi said in confusion: "Why is this husband leaving again? He doesn't say hello."
Ouyang Linlin also agreed: "Yes, isn't there something urgent?"
Song Meijiao was worried: "I don't know if my husband's trip will go smoothly."
The ladies said every word, and they were filled with worry.
In the evening, Xi Yu came to an inn.
He threw the bag on the table angrily and sat on the stool, his face so gloomy and terrible.
He thought angrily in his heart that although Liu Bei would not treat him on the surface, he clearly had a disobedient heart.
The more he thought about it, he became more angry. He suddenly picked up the teacup on the table, raised his head and drank it all, as if he wanted to swallow the anger in his heart.
Xi Yu slapped the teacup heavily on the table and gritted his teeth and said, "Liu Bei, Liu Bei, you ambitious person, don't think I can't see what you think."
He hugged his hands in front of his chest, frowned, and his eyes were filled with deep worries: "If you don't expose your conspiracy this time, you will be a big problem in the future."
At this time, the noise in the inn seemed to have nothing to do with him. Various intersections with Liu Bei's past emerged in his mind, trying to find more clues from it to confirm his guess.
Another day later, Zhao Yun heard that Xi Yu was back, and the heart that had been hanging around finally calmed down a little. He decided to ask Xi Yu to tell him about his mistakes.
Especially the loss of treasure and Chen Shou, these two things made him feel very guilty.
Zhao Yun came to the Prime Minister's Mansion with trepidation, but was told that the Prime Minister was out again.
This news was like a basin of cold water, instantly extinguishing the hope he had just ignited, making his heart feel anxious again.
After Zhao Yun left, he walked on the road in a heavy mood. Suddenly, a familiar figure appeared in front of him, Zhuge Liang.
The two of them looked at each other and greeted each other.
Zhuge Liang looked guilty and apologized to Zhao Yun: "Zilong, someone reported to me when something happened to you. But I am a weak scholar with no power to tie a chicken. In that situation, I can't control anything at all. I hope you don't mind."
Zhao Yun quickly bowed and said, "Sir, I'm serious. This is Zhao's own fault. How dare you blame Mr.?"
"Zilong is loyal and brave, don't blame yourself too much for this."
Next, Zhuge Liang smiled and said, "Since we met by chance today, why not go to have tea together to talk about the past."
Zhao Yun also agreed readily: "It's better to obey your orders than respect, then you'll have a hard time."
So the two of them came to a teahouse.
As soon as he entered the door, the waiter came up enthusiastically and led them to a quiet corner to sit down.
Zhuge Liang gently brushed his sleeves and sat down gracefully, while Zhao Yun sat upright and straight.
Zhuge Liang took a sip of tea and looked at Zhao Yun gently, hoping that Zhao Yun would share the situation along the way.
Zhao Yun looked bitter and sighed heavily and said, "Military advisor, this journey is really too cowardly."
But under Zhuge Liang's encouraging look, he slowly talked about this experience.
