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

Lei Shigui and his group were exhausted from running and their speed gradually slowed down.

"Boss, I can't run anymore." One of the men sat down on the ground.

Lei Shigui cursed: "Useless thing, get up and keep running!"

At this moment, the voices of the secret guards came from a distance: "Lei Shigui, you can't run away!"

Lei Shigui’s face was pale and his eyes were full of despair.

Xi Yu's expression was grim, and he shouted angrily: "Come here, catch them for me!"

The secret guards beside him immediately appeared like ghosts, and with swift movements, they subdued Lei Shigui and others in a few moves.

Xi Yu glanced at the people who were controlled with a cold gaze, and said with gritted teeth: "Take them away and punish them severely!"

The secret guards took the order and quickly left with Lei Shigui and others.

Xi Yu looked at the still burning fire, frowned, turned to the secret guard and said: "Go and notify the local villagers, and put out the fire quickly!"

After making all the arrangements, Xi Yu looked at Tuoba Yu, his expression slightly relaxed, and said, "Let's go down the mountain."

Tuoba Yu nodded, and the two of them walked down the mountain together.

On the way down the mountain, Tuoba Yu frowned slightly and said worriedly: "Although we have captured them this time, I don't know if such disasters will happen again."

Xi Yu looked determined, raised his head slightly and looked into the distance, and said in a deep voice: "As long as I am here, I will never let such evil things happen again."

Tuoba Yu looked at Xi Yu's resolute profile, a trace of admiration welled up in his heart, the corners of his mouth raised, and he said: "With your words, I feel much more at ease."

Xi Yu turned to look at Tuoba Yu, a hint of tenderness flashed in his eyes, and said: "Don't worry, everything will be fine."

The two men quickened their pace, and their figures gradually moved away on the mountain road.

People began to come to put out the fire at the foot of the mountain. Xi Yu stood in the crowd and said loudly: "Dear villagers, I am Prime Minister Xi Yu! Anyone who participates in the fire-fighting will be rewarded!" As he said that, he raised the token in his hand high.

When the people heard this, they all looked at Xi Yu, their eyes filled with surprise and awe.

An old man stepped forward and asked in disbelief, "Are you serious?"

Xi Yu looked serious and nodded solemnly: "Of course I take it seriously! I'll use the token as proof!"

When everyone saw the token, they immediately gained confidence and worked harder.

A strong young man wiped the sweat off his face and shouted, "Everyone, work harder. We can't let the Prime Minister down!"

Others also responded, the atmosphere on the scene was lively, the people were greatly encouraged, and the fire-fighting work progressed more quickly.

Soon, the fire was put out. The people gathered around Xi Yu, who smiled and said, "Thank you for your hard work. Come, register your names and come back to receive your rewards." The people were all smiling and went to register in an orderly manner.

After a while, the people left happily. At this time, the secret guard hurried over, knelt on one knee and clasped his fists and said: "Prime Minister, Lei Shigui and others have been punished and have become disabled."

Xi Yu nodded with satisfaction and said, "Well done, this is the result of their evil deeds."

Afterwards, Xi Yu handed the list of the people he had counted to one of the secret guards and said seriously, "Hand this list over to the local county government immediately and have them distribute the rewards immediately. There must be no mistakes!"

The secret guard took the list with both hands and replied respectfully: "Yes, Prime Minister!" Then he immediately turned around to do the matter.

Under Xi Yu's arrangement, many people happily received their rewards.

Their faces were filled with irrepressible excitement and gratitude, and they all thanked Xi Yu profusely.

An old man was so excited that tears welled up in his eyes. He took Xi Yu's hand and said, "Prime Minister, you are really our benefactor!"

Xi Yu smiled and responded: "This is what you deserve. Live a good life in the future."

By this time, it was already very late.

Xi Yu turned to look at Tuoba Yu and said, "It's getting late, let's leave here first."

Tuoba Yu nodded, and the two of them turned around and prepared to leave.

Xi Yu then instructed the secret guards around him: "Go to the top of the mountain to search for treasures. Be careful and don't miss any clues."

The secret guards responded in unison: "Yes, Prime Minister!"

Xi Yu looked at the secret guards rushing to the top of the mountain, his eyes full of anticipation, and then left with Tuoba Yu.

Xiyu and Tuoba Yu stayed in an inn.

Late at night, a secret guard gently knocked on Xiyu's door.

Xi Yu opened the door and saw the secret guard's happy face. Before he could speak, the secret guard said excitedly: "Prime Minister, the treasure has been found! There are two large boxes in total."

Xi Yu's eyes lit up, the corners of his mouth turned up, and he said excitedly: "That's great!"

The secret guards stood respectfully, waiting for instructions. Xi Yu thought for a moment and said, "Select some people to transport the treasure back to Youzhou. Be careful."

The secret guard clasped his fists and replied, "Yes, Prime Minister! I will arrange it right away."

Xi Yu patted the dark guard's shoulder and said, "Thank you for your hard work. Go and do it."

The secret guard turned and left. Xi Yu closed the door, but the smile on his face was still hard to hide.

At this moment, in Fang County.

Liu Bei couldn't sleep because there was a drought somewhere.

Many people have been displaced and become refugees.

Liu Bei lay on the couch, his eyes wide open, full of worry, thinking to himself: "This drought is so severe, the people are suffering, how can I sleep peacefully?"

At this time, a young eunuch hurried in, bowed and said, "My lord, this disaster is urgent, you must make plans early."

Liu Bei sat up, frowning, and said, "How could I not know? But this disaster relief plan still needs to be carefully considered."

The young eunuch lowered his head and replied cautiously: "My lord, you care about the people and will definitely come up with a good plan."

Liu Bei sighed and said, "I hope so. If I cannot save the people from danger, how can I, Liu Bei, face the world?"

After the young eunuch left, Liu Bei covered his face with his hands and cried alone.

His shoulders trembled slightly, tears fell from his fingers, and his heart was filled with sorrow: "Poor people, they suffered such a natural disaster, but I can't help them immediately."

After a while, Liu Bei slowly raised his head. Although there were still tears in his eyes, his expression became firm.

He thought to himself: "This matter is of great importance. I should report it to the Prime Minister and perhaps I can get support."

So Liu Bei walked to the table, spread out the paper, picked up the pen and dipped it in ink, and began to write the letter with a focused look.

As he wrote, he carefully considered his words, fearing that he would not be able to express the urgency of the disaster.

After the letter was written, Liu Bei called his confidant, solemnly handed the letter to him, and urged him: "You must hurry and deliver this letter to Youzhou. There must be no mistakes!"

The confidant took the letter and immediately turned around to prepare to leave. Liu Bei looked at his receding figure and prayed silently in his heart: "I hope the Prime Minister can lend a hand and save the people here."

After sending the letter, Liu Bei was still restless. He paced back and forth in the room, looking out the window from time to time, hoping that good news would come soon.

After a few days, Liu Bei lost his appetite and looked much more haggard.

He often muttered to himself: "I wonder if the letter has been delivered, and what decision the prime minister will make."

Finally, one day, hurried footsteps were heard outside the door. Liu Bei's heart tightened and he quickly walked up to them.

Liu Bei opened the door with great anticipation, only to find that the person who came back was not the messenger who brought the prime minister's reply, but a subordinate who came to report other matters.

The light in Liu Bei's eyes dimmed instantly, and he waved his hand in disappointment, signaling his subordinates to leave first.

He returned to the house, feeling even more depressed, thinking: "Has the Prime Minister not received my letter yet? Or is there something else going on?"

A few more days passed, and Liu Bei spent sleepless nights in anxiety.

Xi Yu and Tuoba Yu continued on their journey, and they were getting closer and closer to Langzhong.

On this day, as soon as he entered the inn, a secret guard quickly came to Xi Yu's side.

The secret guard knelt on one knee, clasped his fists and said, "Prime Minister, the treasure has been safely sent back to Youzhou."

Xi Yu nodded slightly, his expression eased a little, and said, "Well done."

However, before Xi Yu could breathe a sigh of relief, the secret guard continued, "However, the envoy from Fang County brought bad news. There is a drought in Fang County."

When Xi Yu heard this, his brows knitted tightly together, his face full of worry, and he asked anxiously: "How is the drought? Are the people safe?" The secret guard lowered his head and replied: "The specific situation, the messenger is waiting outside, the prime minister will know once he asks."

Xi Yu didn't care about resting and said quickly: "Quick, bring the messenger to see me."

Soon, the messenger came to Xiyu.

The envoy performed the ceremony respectfully, with beads of sweat on his forehead and a look of anxiety and fatigue.

Xi Yu looked serious, staring at the messenger, and said anxiously: "Don't be polite, tell me the situation in Fangjun."

The messenger took a deep breath and said hurriedly, "Prime Minister, the drought in Fang County is extremely serious. The land is dry and cracked, and the crops have failed. The people have no water to drink, many have fallen ill, and there are displaced victims everywhere."

Xi Yu listened, his brows furrowed tighter and tighter, his eyes full of worry and anger, his hands unconsciously clenched into fists, and he said, "It's so serious!"

Afterwards, Xi Yu pondered for a moment and said, "You go back first and tell the people of Fang County that I will deal with it as soon as possible and will not let them suffer."

The messenger nodded repeatedly, a glimmer of hope in his eyes, and said, "Thank you, Prime Minister. I will return right away."

After saying that, he turned and left in a hurry.

Next, Xi Yu told the secret guard with a serious look: "You must return to Youzhou as soon as possible and transport the treasure to Fangjun to relieve the drought."

His eyes were firm and resolute, revealing unquestionable majesty.

The secret guard clasped his fists and said, "I obey your command!"

Xi Yu then said, "Also, notify Zhuge Liang and ask him to help deal with the affairs of Fang County."

The secret guard nodded and replied, "Yes, Prime Minister!"

Xi Yu waved his hand and said, "Let's set off now without delay!"

The secret guard did not dare to delay for even a second. He turned around and rushed away like a gust of wind, soon disappearing from sight.

Next, Xi Yu looked at Tuoba Yu with a smile on his face, and said with emotion: "Yu'er, you see, God's arrangement is really wonderful. I just got that batch of treasures, and now I can use them to help the people out of their difficulties. I feel very happy in my heart."

There was a gleam of relief and satisfaction in his eyes, and his expression was relaxed and happy.

Tuoba Yu nodded slightly and replied: "Yes, this may be the will of God, giving you the ability to save these suffering people."

Xi Yu put his hands behind his back, looked up at the sky, and said, "I hope this wealth can help the people of Fang County overcome difficulties and live a stable life again."

Tuoba Yu looked at Xi Yu with admiration in his eyes and said, "You have such a compassionate heart. The people will surely be grateful to you."

Xi Yu shook his head and said seriously: "I am not doing this for their gratitude, but as the ruler of the Central Plains, I should seek the welfare of the people."

At this time, a breeze blew by, and Xi Yu's clothes fluttered gently. He continued, "I just hope that this drought will pass soon, and Fang County can regain its former vitality."

Tuoba Yu said firmly: "With your intention and efforts, it will definitely come true."

Xi Yu took a deep breath and said, "Well, next, let's speed up our journey and arrive at Fang County as soon as possible to see the specific situation."

Tuoba Yu responded: "Okay, everything is up to you."

In Youzhou, Guan Yu was deep in thought when a secret guard hurried over.

The secret guard saluted and said, "General Guan, there is a drought in Fang County. The Prime Minister ordered you to bring the treasure to provide support."

When Guan Yu heard this, his thick eyebrows raised, his face showed joy, and he said, "Great! I was worried about this matter, and the Prime Minister's order is very much to my liking."

He stood up and paced back and forth, his eyes sparkling, and he said to himself excitedly: "It is a blessing to be able to see my elder brother again this time."

Guan Yu waved his hand and said loudly: "Hurry up and prepare, there must be no mistakes! We must send the treasure to Fang County as soon as possible to relieve the people's distress."

Guan Yu immediately summoned his generals to arrange various matters. He said with a bright look in his eyes and a loud voice: "Brothers, the people of Fang County are suffering, and the Prime Minister has ordered us to bring treasures to support them. This is an important task and a righteous act. We must act with caution and not be negligent in the slightest!"

All the generals responded in unison: "We will follow the governor's orders!"

Guan Yu personally selected soldiers and generals and checked supplies and equipment. He was very busy, but his face was always filled with anticipation and excitement.

One general asked, "Governor, the journey is long, should we bring more food and fodder?"

Guan Yu waved his hand and said, "It doesn't hurt to bring more. We must not let our brothers go hungry on the road."

Everything was ready. Guan Yu jumped on his horse, holding the Green Dragon Crescent Blade, and shouted loudly: "Let's go!"

The team marched towards Fangjun in a mighty manner.

Fang County, the envoy finally came back and arrived at the palace exhausted after a long journey.

When he saw Liu Bei, he immediately knelt down and saluted.

Liu Bei walked forward eagerly, helped the messenger up, and said, "Tell me quickly, what is the situation?"

The messenger panted and said, "My lord, after I went to Youzhou, the secret guard took me to another place to meet Prime Minister Xi Yu. When the Prime Minister heard about the drought in Fang County, his face was solemn and he said on the spot that he would make proper arrangements."

Liu Bei's frown relaxed slightly, he heaved a sigh of relief, and said, "That's great, that's great! As long as the Prime Minister takes action, the people of Fang County will be saved."

The messenger added: "The Prime Minister seems to be confident and will surely take action soon."

Liu Bei nodded, hope rekindled in his eyes, and said, "I hope the drought can be alleviated soon and the people can return to peace."

Liu Bei paced back and forth in the palace, still somewhat worried, muttering, "I don't know when the aid will arrive. The people can't wait."

The messenger comforted him, "My lord, don't worry too much. The Prime Minister has always been swift and decisive. I'm sure he won't keep us waiting too long."

Liu Bei stopped and looked at the messenger. He said firmly, "You have been traveling all the way. Go down and rest first. But you must always pay attention to the news. If there is any disturbance, report it immediately."

The messenger bowed and said, "Yes, my lord, I will take my leave."

After the messenger left, Liu Bei stood at the palace gate, looking at the dry land in the distance, and prayed silently: "May God bless and let this disaster pass soon."

Liu Bei waited anxiously in the palace, asking the messengers every day if there was any new news.

One day, he was sitting in his study, deep in thought, when he suddenly heard hurried footsteps outside.

A guard came in hurriedly and knelt down to report: "My lord, there is a new situation."

Liu Bei stood up suddenly and asked anxiously: "Tell me quickly, is there any news about the aid?"

The guard replied, "My lord, I just received news that General Guan Yu has led his troops with treasures and will arrive in Fang County soon."

Liu Bei showed a relieved smile on his face and said, "That's great. Yunchang has always acted decisively. With his coming, the people of Fang County are saved."

Afterwards, Liu Bei ordered again: "Hurry up and prepare to welcome Yun Chang and the reinforcements."

The guard took the order and left. Liu Bei stood in front of the window, silently hoping that they would arrive soon.

That day, Xiyu and Tuoba Yu came to Langzhong, close to Chen Shou's hometown.

Xi Yu was full of expectations and wanted to find Chen Shou, the author of "The Three Kingdoms".

However, Tuoba Yu suddenly turned pale, felt weak all over, and started coughing continuously.

Seeing this, Xi Yu frowned and said worriedly, "Yu'er, you have a cold. Go to the inn and rest."

Tuoba Yu nodded weakly and said, "I'm fine, don't delay your work."

Xi Yu quickly supported her and said, "Nothing important is more important than your health. Be obedient and go to rest."

After settling Tuoba Yu down in the inn room, Xi Yu said, "You take a good rest. I'll go get the doctor over right away."

As he spoke, he muttered to himself with regret: "It's all my fault. I regret not asking Song Shuwen to come along so he could take care of me."

After saying this, he hurried out to ask for a doctor.

Xi Yu quickly invited a doctor. He anxiously stayed by Tuoba Yu's bed, watching the doctor treat Tuoba Yu.

After the doctor took the pulse, his expression eased a little and he said, "Fortunately, the condition is not serious. You will recover after taking a few doses of medicine and resting for a few days."

Xi Yu finally breathed a sigh of relief and thanked him repeatedly: "Thank you, doctor. Please prescribe the medicine quickly."

After the doctor wrote the prescription and left, Xi Yu went to get the medicine and boil it himself.

Tuoba Yu looked at his busy figure, feeling deeply moved, and said softly, "Husband, I'm sorry for causing you so much trouble."

Xi Yu walked to the bedside with the medicine and said gently: "What nonsense are you talking about? Take good care of yourself. When you get better, we will go find Chen Shou again." (End of this chapter)
