The frail counselor you said, you fight against three heroes alone?
Chapter 677 Searching for Information
The soldier was so frightened that he immediately lowered his head and dared not say anything more.
After a while, the rain gradually subsided.
Guan Yu immediately raised his sword and shouted, "Brothers, the rain has subsided, get ready to go!"
Everyone stood up and sorted out their equipment.
The lieutenant general said, "Governor, the rain hasn't stopped yet. How about waiting for a while?"
Guan Yu's eyes were firm, and he said resolutely: "We can't wait! If the military plan is delayed, neither you nor I can afford it!"
After saying that, Guan Yu walked out of the cave first and led everyone to continue moving towards Fangjun.
On the other side, Xi Yu looked at Chen Shou firmly and said, "Chen Shou, I hope to talk to you alone. Why don't we go for a walk outside?"
Chen Shou was slightly stunned, then nodded and agreed.
They walked slowly along a quiet path, the breeze blowing gently on their faces, bringing a little coolness.
Xi Yu was silent for a long time, and finally broke the silence: "Chen Shou, there are some things that I have been holding in my heart for a long time."
Chen Shou stopped and turned his gaze to Xi Yu, waiting for him to continue.
Xi Yu took a deep breath and began to talk about his innermost thoughts and troubles...
Xi Yu was silent for a long time, and finally broke the silence: "Chen Shou, do you believe in fate?" Chen Shou nodded.
Xi Yu smiled slightly and continued, "It's fate that I came here to find you. Chen Shou, you don't need to ask me how I know you have talent, I just know it."
Chen Shou was full of doubts, but looking at Xi Yu's confident expression, he felt that there must be a deeper meaning behind this.
Xi Yu stopped and turned to look at Chen Shou, his eyes full of anticipation.
"Every move you make, the way you think, shows that you are different. This world is big and there are many people, but there are very few who share my ideas and are as talented as you."
Chen Shou was moved and asked, "Why did you come to me?"
Xi Yu looked at Chen Shou eagerly, his eyes full of expectation, and said, "I want to use your knowledge, so don't be so modest!" As he spoke, he gestured with his hands unconsciously.
Chen Shou nodded slightly, with a humble smile on his face, and nodded gently.
Seeing this, Xi Yu's eyes flashed with excitement. He hurriedly stepped forward and asked in a low voice, "Then are you aware of the issue of a treasure in the Xianbei history?"
At this moment, he frowned slightly and stared at Chen Shou closely, as if he was afraid to miss any subtle expression on the other's face.
After Xi Yu eagerly expressed to Chen Shou that he wanted to use his knowledge, Chen Shou nodded.
When Xi Yu suddenly asked about the Xianbei treasure, Chen Shou was stunned at first, his face full of surprise, his eyes wide open, and he said in disbelief: "Xianbei treasure? This is really unheard of."
Seeing Chen Shou so surprised, Xi Yu didn't care about anything else and just told him everything about the treasure he had seen recently.
He looked excited, waving his hands in the air, describing every detail vividly.
After hearing this, Chen Shou frowned and said after thinking for a moment, "This matter is very serious. I need to go back and check some historical data to determine whether it is true or not."
Xi Yu agreed without hesitation and said, "Okay, let's go back quickly."
Afterwards, the two of them hurried back home, their steps quick, as if they were afraid of wasting even a minute.
On the other side, Father Chen had a serious look on his face, staring at Tuoba Yu, and asked, "Who are you?" He frowned, with confusion and vigilance in his eyes.
Tuoba Yu raised her chin slightly, looking a little proud, and responded: "My husband came to ask Chen Shou some historical questions, and I have nothing else to tell you."
After saying this, she pursed her lips slightly, her eyes firm, and she had no intention of saying anything more.
When Father Chen heard what Tuoba Yu said, the doubt on his face increased instead of decreasing. He took a small step forward and raised his voice a few degrees: "Just asking some historical questions? It's not that simple, girl, don't fool an old man like me."
His eyes were burning, as if he wanted to see through Tuoba Yu's thoughts.
Tuoba Yu turned her face slightly to avoid Chen's father's intimidating gaze and snorted: "Believe it or not, what I said is true." She clasped her hands in front of her chest, with a hint of impatience on her face.
Father Chen put his hands behind his back and paced back and forth, muttering to himself, "This is weird. No, I have to figure it out."
Tuoba Yu frowned, bit her lip, hesitated for a moment and said, "Grandpa, it's really just a historical issue. I can't say anything else. Please don't force me." There was a hint of helplessness in her eyes.
Soon, Xiyu and the other person came back.
Xiyu's face was still a little anxious, and his steps were hurried. Chen Shou's expression was serious and his eyes were firm. As soon as he entered the door, he immediately walked quickly towards his own room, and at the same time turned his head to Xiyu and said, "You wait outside, don't come in to disturb me."
Xi Yu was about to say something when Chen Shou slammed the door shut.
Xi Yu shrugged helplessly, stood at the door, pacing back and forth, looking into the house from time to time, feeling anxious and uneasy, as if there was a little rabbit in his heart.
Father Chen looked at Chen Shou's closed door. His heart was filled with doubts and he couldn't help but take two steps forward. He also raised his hand as if he wanted to knock on the door.
His brows knitted together, his lips trembled slightly, and he thought to himself, "What on earth is this kid doing?"
But in the end, he slowly put down his hand.
After a while, Chen Shou walked out of the room with a serious expression, holding a book tightly in his hand.
The pages of this book have turned yellow, and the traces of time are clearly visible.
Chen Shou looked at Xi Yu and said seriously: "There is relevant information in here, which indeed proves that nearly a hundred years ago, the Xianbei had treasures, and they were plundered from the Central Plains." There was a hint of seriousness in his eyes.
When Xi Yu heard this, his eyes lit up instantly, his face full of surprise and he couldn't hide it. He couldn't wait to reach out and take the book, saying excitedly: "Great! This is great!"
His voice trembled a little with excitement, and he held the book carefully in his hands, as if he was holding the most precious treasure in the world.
Originally, Chen's father was standing aside, his brows furrowed, his eyes full of suspicion, secretly wondering if they had any different purposes.
But when he saw Xi Yu's uncontrollable joy, the doubts on his face gradually disappeared.
Chen Shou looked at Xi Yu sincerely and said, "In that case, why not let you take this book away? It may be useful to you."
With a hint of expectation in his eyes, he handed the book towards Xiyu.
Xi Yu quickly shook his head and said to Chen Shou with a firm look: "No, I just need to know the truth of the matter."
As he said this, he gently pushed the book back to Chen Shou, a relieved smile on his face.
Chen Shou was slightly stunned, then he also laughed and said, "Well, since you have made up your mind."
He carefully took the book back and gently stroked the yellowed pages.
Next, Chen Shou's face was full of doubts. His eyes moved back and forth between Xi Yu and Tuoba Yu, his brows furrowed tightly, and he asked, "What are your identities? Don't hide it from me anymore."
Seeing that Chen Shou was asking more questions, Xi Yu knew that he could no longer hide it.
He straightened up, his expression became serious, and facing Chen Shou's puzzled gaze, he said: "To be honest, I am the current prime minister."
As he spoke, he took out a token from his pocket and handed it to Chen Shou.
Chen Shou's eyes widened in disbelief, his mouth slightly open, and it took him a long time to come back to his senses. He stammered, "This... this is actually true?"
After hearing Xi Yu's identity, Chen's father's eyes widened, his face was full of shock, and his mouth was wide open, unable to close for a long time.
He said in a trembling voice: "Son, this is actually the Prime Minister, we never expected it!"
As he spoke, he frantically grabbed his son's hand, looking terrified, "Quick, kneel down, don't lose your manners."
Chen Shou staggered when his father pulled him, his face full of shock and fear, his legs went weak and he was about to kneel down.
Xi Yu quickly took a step forward, stretched out his hands to block him, and said with a gentle smile, "No need to be so polite. Just stand up quickly."
His eyes were full of friendliness, indicating that they did not need to perform such a grand ceremony.
Upon hearing this, Chen's father and Chen Shou looked up at Xi Yu, with awe and fear still in their eyes, but they still slowly stood up as they were told.
Father Chen's body was still trembling slightly, and he hurriedly said, "Thank you, Prime Minister, thank you, Prime Minister." But then, Father Chen said to his son anxiously, "Son, since the Prime Minister is here, then the matter of those scoundrels can be resolved, right?"
There was a glimmer of hope in his eyes and he held his son's arm tightly.
After hearing what his father said, Chen Shou turned to look at Xi Yu with a hint of expectation and inquiry in his eyes.
Seeing this, Xi Yu smiled and said, "That's totally fine. I was planning to do that."
His face was filled with a confident smile, which made people feel extremely reassured.
Xi Yu looked determined and said solemnly: "If what the father and son said is correct, then I will definitely make the decision for you." His eyes revealed a convincing majesty.
Upon hearing this, Father Chen immediately raised his right hand and swore, "Prime Minister, I swear, what I said is absolutely correct. If I tell even a single lie, God will strike me with lightning!"
His expression was extremely serious, and beads of sweat even appeared on his forehead due to excitement.
Xi Yu nodded slightly, then asked, "Will the scoundrels come to challenge again tomorrow? Then Chen Shou won't have to go out to borrow money." He frowned slightly, revealing a hint of worry.
Chen Shou quickly replied: "Prime Minister, according to their usual habits, they will come again tomorrow."
Xi Yu looked at Chen Shou expectantly and asked calmly, "Chen Shou, are there any extra rooms here? Tuoba Yu and I want to live here." There was a hint of eagerness in his eyes.
Chen Shou was slightly stunned at first, then his face was filled with a warm smile, and he quickly responded: "Prime Minister, absolutely! I will clean up the room for you and your wife right away."
As he spoke, he nodded continuously, and the joy on his face was beyond words.
After Chen Shou finished speaking, he quickly prepared to clean the room.
Xi Yu smiled and waved at him, saying, "Thank you for your help."
Chen Shou was flattered and quickly replied: "Your Excellency Prime Minister, you are too kind. It is my honor." After saying that, he hurried to prepare.
After a while, Chen Shou came back, panting slightly and said, "Mr. Prime Minister, the room has been cleaned up. It may be a little shabby, I hope you don't mind it."
There was a hint of uneasiness on his face, and he carefully observed Xi Yu's expression.
Xi Yu patted Chen Shou on the shoulder and said, "It's okay, thank you very much." Then he pulled Tuoba Yu and followed Chen Shou to the room.
Guan Yu and others rode their horses and continued forward on the muddy road.
Suddenly, the sky was covered with dark clouds, and in the blink of an eye, there was a downpour.
Raindrops as big as beans hit them, and everyone had to stop hurriedly in front of an inn, dismount and go into the inn to shelter from the rain.
The inn's waiter saw this group of embarrassed guests, with a flattering smile on his face, and greeted them excitedly: "Dear guests, please come in!"
Guan Yu shook off the rain on his body, his face terribly gloomy. He looked up at the sky and cursed angrily: "Damn God, he is deliberately against me!"
As he said this, he angrily punched the table next to him, and the table seemed to tremble.
Guan Yu snorted coldly, still angry: "This lousy weather ruins my trip!"
Several soldiers heard Guan Yu's curse and glanced at each other secretly.
There was confusion and a hint of timidity in their eyes. One of the soldiers lowered his voice and said to the person next to him: "Why would the governor complain about God's business?"
Guan Yu was already filled with rage and was keenly aware of their little movements.
He turned his head suddenly, widened his eyes like copper bells, and shouted angrily: "Why are you guys exchanging glances with each other? Just say what you want to say!" That sharp gaze seemed to be able to pierce people.
Several soldiers were frightened by Guan Yu's roar and trembled all over. One of them stammered in reply: "Governor, we dare not do that. We just think that this rain is a natural disaster and cannot be controlled by human power. Governor, please don't get too angry about it and hurt yourself."
When he spoke, he lowered his head almost to his chest, not daring to look Guan Yu in the eye.
Because Guan Yu wanted to go to Fangjun right now. His eagerness was not for those few people, but because he wanted to see Liu Bei right away.
So he would not tolerate any obstruction to his journey and was extremely furious at the moment.
His eyes widened and he glared at the soldiers even more angrily. He gritted his teeth and asked, "Tell me! Who was the first to talk about this general?"
His voice seemed to be squeezed out from between his teeth, carrying with it endless majesty and oppression.
The soldiers were so frightened by his appearance that they were silent, lowered their heads and dared not breathe.
Guan Yu snorted coldly, his face livid, and the hand holding the Azure Dragon Crescent Blade trembled slightly because of anger. He roared: "We must find this person today, otherwise I will kill you all!"
The voice was like a loud bell, shaking the entire inn. His eyes were full of ruthlessness and determination.
When the soldiers heard this, they were so frightened that their faces turned pale and their bodies began to tremble involuntarily.
One of the soldiers fell to his knees with a thump and cried, "General, please spare my life! I won't dare to do it again!"
Others also knelt down and begged for mercy one after another.
Guan Yu stared at the young soldier who knelt down first, and asked in a stern voice: "What's your name, young soldier?"
The little soldier was so frightened that his whole body was shaking like a sieve. He replied tremblingly: "General, my name is Zhao Qiang."
Upon hearing this, Guan Yu waved his hand and shouted angrily, "Come here, drag Zhao Qiang out and behead him!"
Upon hearing this, Zhao Qiang collapsed to the ground with a plop, tears streaming down his face. He kowtowed and begged for mercy: "General, please spare my life! General, please spare my life! I will never dare to do it again!" His eyes were filled with fear and despair.
The other soldiers also followed suit and pleaded: "General, please calm down and forgive him this time!"
Guan Yu's eyes widened with anger, his eyebrows raised, and he shouted loudly: "If anyone dares to beg for mercy again, I will drag him out and behead him together!"
His voice was like thunder, shaking everyone's hearts.
For a moment, the inn was completely silent. Everyone was silent and no one dared to say another word.
Zhao Qiang's pleas for mercy gradually faded away, leaving only desperate sobs.
Guan Yu's face was gloomy, like the sky before a storm. He crossed his arms across his chest and looked coldly at everything in front of him.
At this time, a deputy general stepped forward cautiously, clasped his fists and said, "General, considering that Zhao Qiang is a first-time offender and is usually quite diligent in his duties, please forgive him this time."
Guan Yu glanced at the deputy general, pondered for a moment, and snorted coldly: "If there is a next time, I will not let you off easily!"
When Zhao Qiang heard Guan Yu's relenting, he immediately rolled over and crawled on the ground to express his gratitude: "Thank you very much, General, for not killing me. Thank you very much, General!"
Guan Yu ignored him and turned to walk to the window, looking at the heavy rain outside, his brows furrowed, the anxiety in his heart becoming increasingly difficult to suppress.
When everyone saw that Guan Yu's anger had subsided a little, they all secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
Zhao Qiang slumped on the ground, gasping for breath, his face full of relief and fear at surviving the disaster.
Guan Yu was still staring at the rain outside the window, feeling very annoyed. He said to himself, "When will this rain stop? I don't want it to delay my meeting with my elder brother."
At this time, a soldier stepped forward bravely and said, "General, why don't we take this opportunity to let everyone rest and continue on our journey after the rain stops, so that we can maintain better physical strength."
Guan Yu was silent for a moment, then nodded slightly and said, "Well, get ready, and set off as soon as the rain stops."
The soldiers acted as if they had been granted amnesty and sprang into action.
Guan Yu continued to stand by the window, his eyes full of eagerness and anticipation for the road ahead.
The scene of Guan Yu getting angry just now was seen completely by the waiter.
At this moment, the waiter hid in the corner, his body trembling uncontrollably, his face pale, his heart pounding, and he thought to himself: "Oh my god, these people are really scary, I have to stay away from them and never provoke them."
At this time, a soldier shouted: "Waiter, come here!"
When the waiter heard the shout, his legs went weak and he almost fell to the ground.
He suppressed his fear, forced a smile that was uglier than crying, and replied tremblingly: "I'm coming... I'm coming, General." (End of this chapter)
