The frail counselor you said, you fight against three heroes alone?

The next morning, sunlight shone through the mottled window lattices and onto the temple courtyard.

Xi Yu stared at the old monk with a steady gaze and said slowly: "Master, please gather all the monks together. I have something important to tell you." His voice was calm but majestic.

The old monk clasped his hands together, nodded slightly, and whispered, "Amitabha, I will follow your orders." Then he turned and left, his steps steady and solemn.

After a while, all the monks gathered together and stood quietly.

The old monk turned around and said to everyone: "My fellow disciples, this donor is the current Prime Minister." His tone was calm and his expression was solemn.

Upon hearing this, the faces of several monks changed suddenly. Their eyes widened, their mouths slightly opened, and they looked shocked.

One of the monks couldn't help but ask, "Prime Minister? Why... why did you come to this Buddhist holy land?" His voice trembled slightly, revealing his inner shock.

Xi Yu glanced at the crowd with a serious look on his face, and said, "I came here to stay overnight by accident, but I didn't expect such a thing to happen in the basement. In order to find out the truth of the matter, I decided to send troops to garrison this temple." His voice was steady and powerful, making everyone stand in awe.

Several monks looked at each other with surprised expressions on their faces.

A monk asked hesitantly, "Prime Minister...will this have an impact on our temple?" There was a hint of worry in his tone.

Xi Yu shook his head and replied with a smile: "Don't worry, everyone. The purpose of sending troops to garrison this time is just to ensure the safety of the temple and to find out the truth of the matter as soon as possible."

Then, Xi Yu frowned slightly and said in a serious tone: "Also, I mentioned the matter of the Xianbei treasure to the abbot yesterday. This treasure is of great importance and we must treat it with caution." There was a firm light in his eyes.

Another monk couldn't help but interrupt and said, "Prime Minister, where is this treasure? How come we have such a treasure in our temple?" His face was full of curiosity and confusion.

Xi Yu was silent for a moment, then said slowly: "At present, everything is still unclear and needs further exploration." He looked around at everyone, as if observing their reactions.

The old monk clasped his hands together and said softly, "Amitabha, Prime Minister, we will fully cooperate with your investigation." A look of determination appeared on his face.

Xi Yu raised his hand slightly, signaling that everyone could leave, with a trace of fatigue in his eyes. His voice was calm and gentle, and he said, "Everyone, please leave first." The corners of his mouth slightly raised, revealing a faint smile.

The monks looked at each other, put their hands together, bowed, and quietly left the hall.

Xi Yu looked at their leaving figures, sighed softly, and turned to walk towards his room.

His steps seemed a little heavy, as if he was carrying a heavy burden.

His back looked somewhat lonely in the sunlight, yet revealed a sense of determination.

The sunlight shines on his body, outlining his tall and upright figure.

When he reached the door of the room, Xi Yu stopped, looked back at the temple courtyard, and secretly thought about his next plan.

After dinner, Tuoba Yu sat on a chair, swinging her legs boredly. She pouts and says, "It's so boring in the room. I want to go out for a walk." There is a hint of anticipation in her eyes.

Xi Yu looked at her, smiled, nodded, and said, "Okay, but don't go too far." There was a hint of concern in his tone.

Tuoba Yu stood up excitedly, smiled and said, "I know! I'll just take a walk." Then he walked out of the room briskly.

When Tuoba Yu appeared in the temple courtyard, Haishe in another room opened his eyes wide in surprise.

She said to Shuang'er beside her, "Hurry, go and see if that is Tuoba Yu." There was disbelief and surprise in her voice.

Shuang'er hurried to the window and looked into the yard. A look of surprise appeared on her face, and she whispered, "Yes, it is Tuoba Yu."

Seeing this, Haishe quickly stood up and ran out the door in a hurry.

She came to Tuoba Yu, bowed respectfully, and said, "Princess, long time no see!" Her face was filled with an excited smile.

When Tuoba Yu heard the voice, he turned around with a look of surprise on his face.

She looked at Haishe and felt that he looked familiar, but she couldn't remember who he was.

She frowned and asked in confusion, "Who are you...?" There was a hint of hesitation in her voice.

Haishe smiled and said quickly: "Princess, don't you remember me? I am Haishe, the wife of Shididu." His eyes revealed expectation, hoping that Tuoba Yu would remember him.

After hearing this, Tuoba Yu was still a little confused.

She shook her head and said, "Oh... I seem to have some impression, but I still can't remember the details."

She looked Haishe up and down, trying to search her memory for relevant information.

Haishe was a little disappointed when he saw this, but he soon regained his smile and said, "Princess, you are forgetful, but it doesn't matter. I am very happy to see you again."

Tuoba Yu looked at Haishe curiously and asked, "Then why did you come here?" Her eyes were full of questions.

Haishe showed a look of embarrassment and said softly, "It's a long story, princess." There was a hint of helplessness in her tone.

Tuoba Yu smiled slightly and suggested: "Why don't you come with me for a walk outside and talk while we walk."

Hai She heard this, a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes, and he quickly nodded and agreed, "Okay, Princess." He turned to the maid Shuang'er and said, "Shuang'er, you can follow me too."

Shuang'er responded with a smile and followed the two of them.

Haishe's brows were tightly furrowed. She hurried outside, and after seeing Tuoba Yu, she couldn't wait to say, "Princess, Shidi is dead! It's related to Hong Gang." There was a tremor in her voice, and her eyes were full of fear and anxiety.

Tuoba Yu's face suddenly turned gloomy. He stared at Hai She and asked, "What's going on? Why do you think it has something to do with Hong Gang?"

Hai She took a deep breath, trying to calm himself down, and said, "I always feel that this matter is strange. Shi Didu usually has no grudges or hatred against others..."

There was a hint of certainty in her eyes.

Tuoba Yu pondered for a moment, then sighed heavily and said, "Then what should you do? In this situation, who can you turn to?"

Hai She bit his lip, a trace of determination flashed in his eyes, and said: "I think we can seek refuge with Xi Yu. He may be able to give us a place to stay and help us find out the truth."

Suddenly, Shuang'er's face was filled with joy and her eyes lit up.

She said excitedly: "Isn't Princess Yu with Xi Yu?"

When Haishe heard this, he was stunned at first, then his eyes suddenly lit up and he slapped his head.

"Yes, how could I have forgotten this!" After saying that, she looked at Tuoba Yu eagerly, her eyes full of expectation, and asked hurriedly: "Princess, do you think this is okay?"

Tuoba Yu frowned and pondered for a while before he slowly said, "Xi Yu is indeed in the temple, but this matter... let's talk about it later."

There was a solemn look on her face, as if she was thinking about something important.

Xi Yu stood in the room with a solemn expression, pacing back and forth, muttering, "Zhao Yun must come to handle the current situation."

He stopped, walked to the table, picked up a pen, and began to write a letter with a serious expression, asking Zhao Yun to come with his troops as soon as possible.

After finishing writing, he folded the letter and called the secret guard.

The secret guard knelt on one knee, respectfully waiting for instructions.

Xi Yu handed the letter to the secret guard with a serious expression and said, "Make sure to deliver this letter to Zhao Yun as quickly as possible. There must be no mistakes!"

The secret guard took the letter with both hands, nodded solemnly and said, "Yes, sir!" Then he disappeared like a ghost.

Xi Yu looked in the direction where the secret guard left, his eyes full of expectation and determination.

Xi Yu stood there, frowning, and kept thinking in his heart: "Who would be a person who is well versed in history at this time?"

His mind was churning with various possible candidates, and the more he thought about it, the more confused he became.

"Oh..." He sighed deeply in his heart and thought hard for a long time.

Finally, a name flashed through his mind like lightning - Chen Shou.

"Yes, in history, Chen Shou was the one who wrote the Records of the Three Kingdoms." He was excited for a moment, but then the excitement faded away. "But now that I have traveled through time and changed history, I don't know where Chen Shou is at this moment."

His mind began to become tangled, with various thoughts constantly colliding in his mind.

"What should I do? Send someone? But what if the person I send can't find him? Or maybe I should go myself. This way I might have a better chance of finding him."

Xi Yu was wavering. Sometimes he thought it was okay to send someone, but sometimes he felt it would be more reliable to go himself. He kept thinking over and over again and was unable to make a final decision.

Ouyang Linlin walked briskly to the door and saw Xi Yu standing there with a frown on his face, as if he was thinking about something.

She tilted her head slightly, with curiosity and concern on her face, and asked softly, "Husband, what's wrong with you?"

Xi Yu heard the voice and slowly came back to his senses. Seeing that it was Ouyang Linlin, he smiled helplessly and said, "Linlin, I'm thinking about something."

Ouyang Linlin walked up to Xiyu, blinked her big eyes, and asked, "What are you thinking about? Why are you thinking so intently?"

Xi Yu took a deep breath, looked at Ouyang Linlin and said seriously: "I decided to call Zhao Yun and ask him to lead the troops here." When he said this, his eyes revealed a hint of firmness and determination.

Ouyang Linlin was slightly stunned, then reacted, with a hint of doubt in her eyes, "Let Zhao Yun lead the troops? Why?" Xi Yu frowned and explained solemnly, "The situation is a bit complicated now, we need more forces to deal with it. Zhao Yun is brave and good at fighting. His arrival will be of great help to us."

As he spoke, he continued to think about the follow-up arrangements in his mind.

Gradually, Ouyang Linlin also understood Xiyu's thoughts.

It is also a good thing to let Zhao Yun come over.

On the other side, Tuoba Yu and Hai She were playing outside, and Hai She kept calling Tuoba Yu "Princess".

Tuoba Yu said: "Don't mention the past titles anymore. I am no longer a princess."

"Okay, then I'll call you Madam Tuoba. Can we go back now?"

Tuoba Yu nodded.

So the three of them returned to the temple.

Xiyu heard footsteps, and after a while, Tuoba Yu came knocking on the door.

Xi Yu let her in, but saw her coming with two strange women.

And he also looks like a Xianbei.

"Husband, let me introduce you."

Tuoba Yu introduced them, Xiyu nodded, and Haishe and the other man quickly knelt down to greet them.

"Alright. Stop being polite and get up."

After the two women stood up, Xi Yu looked at Tuoba Yu with a puzzled look. Tuoba Yu introduced the identities of the two women and explained the details.

Xi Yu frowned slightly, looked at Hai She calmly, and said firmly: "I will not care about the internal affairs of Xianbei, it has nothing to do with me. As for the two of you wanting to surrender to me, it is also unrealistic, you don't have to have this idea."

There was not much expression on his face, but his eyes revealed a hint of unquestionable determination.

When Haishe heard this, an expression of surprise and disappointment suddenly appeared on his face.

She widened her eyes, looked at Xi Yu in disbelief, and said anxiously: "Prime Minister, please, we really have nowhere else to go!" Her eyes were full of pleading, and her hands were clenched tightly together.

Xi Yu remained unmoved, just shook his head and said coldly: "I said, no means no, there is no room for negotiation on this matter."

His eyes became even colder, as if he was rejecting something that was extremely common.

Haishe's face turned a little pale. She bit her lips tightly and turned her eyes to Tuoba Yu eagerly. Her eyes were full of pleading and expectation. Her voice was trembling as she said, "Mrs. Tuoba, please help us beg for mercy. Please."

Tuoba Yu looked at Hai She's pitiful appearance and felt sorry for her. He took a deep breath, turned around, looked at Xi Yu with a hint of hesitation, and said softly with a hint of cautious expectation in his eyes: "Husband, can you... be flexible?"

Xi Yu's face remained calm as water. He looked at Tuoba Yu firmly without a trace of emotion and said firmly, "No, I have my principles. This matter is not negotiable."

Tuoba Yu sighed helplessly. She knew that once Xi Yu made a decision, it would be difficult to change it.

She could only look at Haishe with an apologetic look on her face and shook her head gently.

Haishe's eyes dimmed instantly, tears welled up in his eyes, and his face was full of despair and helplessness.

She and Shuang'er had no choice but to leave first.

Tuoba Yu asked Xi Yu: "Husband, why are you so heartless?"
"Heartless? Do I have to agree to anything anyone who comes to me?"

Tuoba Yu sighed and had to agree.

Xi Yu came to the old monk's room after a while.

"Master, we will continue to stay here until the matter is completely resolved. Therefore, we cannot stay here for free. We must donate money."

After saying that, Xi Yu donated some currency.

The old monk was very happy.

"The donor is really kind-hearted. How kind!"

That night, the secret guards came to Youzhou, to Zhao Yun's mansion.

When Zhao Yun heard that Xi Yu had sent someone to come, he immediately invited him in.

The secret guard soon saw Zhao Yun and handed him the letter without saying anything.

Zhao Yun took it respectfully, then called back. When he saw the content of the letter, he was very happy.

Because Xiyu was not at home, he felt that his talents were wasted. Now it's finally all right.

You can now display your talents.

"Please rest assured, I will follow the Prime Minister's instructions."

"General Zhao, arrange the soldiers and leave together tomorrow. Otherwise, you won't be familiar with the roads."

Zhao Yun agreed.

The next day, Zhao Yun led a thousand soldiers and followed the secret guards.

At this moment, the secret guard did not hide, but rode away openly on horseback.

Along the way, Zhao Yun was in high spirits.

Just after leaving the city, I met Zhuge Liang.

Zhuge Liang went out of the city to do some business and asked Zhao Yun where he was going?

"It was the Prime Minister who asked me to lead the troops to do the work."

Zhuge Liang was surprised.

"Why lead troops? Do we need a place to start a war?"

“It’s not a war, it’s about protecting a place.”

Zhao Yun briefly explained it.

Zhuge Liang smiled.

"Then I wish General Zhao a safe journey."

Afterwards, Zhao Yun and others left.

Zhao Yun continued to march forward with a thousand soldiers, the sound of horse hooves clattering and raising dust along the way.

When they reached a valley, the sky suddenly became gloomy and the sound of muffled thunder was heard.

Zhao Yun looked up at the sky, frowned slightly, and thought to himself: I hope it won’t rain and delay our trip.

At this moment, there was a burst of hurried horse hoof sounds behind him. Zhao Yun looked back and saw that it was Zhuge Liang and several followers who were catching up with him.

Zhao Yun pulled the reins and looked at Zhuge Liang in confusion: "Mr. Zhuge, what else?"

Zhuge Liang smiled and bowed, saying, "General Zhao, I suddenly remembered something, and I still feel that it is necessary to give you a few more words of advice. The situation in the area to be protected must be complicated. You must be careful and must not take it lightly."

Zhao Yun clasped his fists and said, "Thank you Mr. Zhuge for your reminder. I will be more cautious."

Zhuge Liang nodded, looked deeply at Zhao Yun and the soldiers behind him, and said, "General, you have a heavy responsibility. If you need anything, please send someone to let me know at any time."

Zhao Yun said gratefully: "Don't worry, sir. I've made a note of it."

Zhuge Liang bowed again, then turned his horse around and left with his entourage.

Zhao Yun looked at Zhuge Liang's receding back, and a warm feeling welled up in his heart. He then waved his hand and shouted, "Keep going!"

A thousand soldiers responded in unison, the sound of horse hooves echoed throughout the valley, and a group of people accelerated towards their destination.

Zhao Yun and others galloped all the way and finally arrived at where Xi Yu was at dusk.

Xi Yu had been waiting at the door for a long time. When he saw Zhao Yun coming with a large group of soldiers, a relieved smile appeared on his face.

"Zilong, thank you for your hard work on the journey." Xi Yu stepped forward and said.

Zhao Yun dismounted and saluted, saying: "Prime Minister, I am fortunate to have fulfilled my mission." (End of this chapter)
