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

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 having a great time, they suddenly heard a servant come to report that Ouyang Linlin had returned.

When everyone heard this, they immediately put down their cards and happily came to the yard to greet him.

As soon as she saw Ouyang Linlin, Sun Shangxiang quickly stepped forward, took her hand, and said with a happy smile on her face: "Linlin, you are finally back. We were so worried!"

Xishi also came forward, her eyes full of concern: "Yes, I haven't seen you these few days, are you okay outside?"

The sisters chatted with each other, looking so 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. She waved her hand and said, "Sisters, I've been running all the way and I'm really tired. Let me rest first."

Seeing her like this, everyone stopped forcing her.

Xiyu and Wenxuan are still on their way to the college.

At this time, several pedestrians recognized Wenxuan and gathered around him excitedly, saying, "Isn't this the one on the poster?"

Xi Yu frowned and said seriously: "Wen Xuan appeared by himself, not discovered by you, so there will be no reward. Otherwise, wouldn't everyone on the street have a reward?"

After hearing this, several people showed frustration on their faces and muttered quietly: "I thought we could get some reward money."

But after all, it was the prime minister who said so, and they did not dare to refute it, and could only disperse in embarrassment.

Lu Su was still worried in the academy, pacing back and forth in the courtyard.

His brows were furrowed, and the wrinkles on his forehead seemed to deepen. He kept repeating to himself, "What should I do? What should I do..."

He was thinking that if he couldn't find Wenxuan, he wouldn't be able to take the responsibility if the prime minister blamed him in the future.

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but sigh heavily, "Alas, if that day really comes, my career will be ruined."

Lu Su looked up at the sky. The sunlight was a little dazzling, but he was unaware of it. He only felt as if a huge rock was pressing on his heart.

"In just a few days, I felt like I had aged several years." He shook his head helplessly, feeling sorrowful and having no way to vent.

Just at this moment, Wenxuan and Xiyu finally appeared at the gate.

The people guarding the gate were standing there 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 courtyard, shouting as they ran: "Teacher Wenxuan is back!"

A guard said excitedly with a big smile on his face: "Lord Lu Su was almost going crazy looking for him, now it's good!"

As they spoke, several people hurriedly saluted towards Xi Yu, "Greetings, Prime Minister!"

Xi Yu nodded slightly and said, "No need to be polite."

When Lu Su heard someone shouting at the door, he thought he had misheard at first, "Could it be that I am hallucinating because of excessive worry?" he muttered to himself.

Confused, he walked quickly outside. As soon as he reached the door, he saw Wenxuan and Xiyu riding horses. He couldn't believe his eyes, rubbed his eyes hard, and muttered to himself: "Am I dreaming?"

After seeing that it was indeed Wenxuan and Xiyu, he was so excited that his hands were shaking. The haze on his face was instantly swept away, and he shouted loudly: "Teacher Wenxuan, Prime Minister, you are finally back!"

Entering the office, Wenxuan looked guilty, lowered his head and slowly told the story of his coma in the rain: "I accidentally fainted in the rain, but fortunately I met the Prime Minister, who asked Dr. Song to save me. I missed classes and made my classmates and the college worry about me. I am guilty and willing to be punished."

Lu Su waved his hands quickly, his face full of relief: "It's all right now when the person arrives. There's no need to punish him. Just be careful next time."

Wenxuan raised his head, his eyes firm: "No, Master Lu, the academy has its own rules. I should be punished for my mistakes, otherwise it will be difficult to convince others."

Xi Yu also nodded and said seriously: "Without rules, there will be no order. Since Wenxuan has made a mistake, he must be punished. Only in this way can the order of the academy be maintained."

After hearing what Xi Yu said, Lu Su could no longer refute and agreed.

Wenxuan said sincerely, "Then you can report me to the whole school for criticism, and I will explain the situation to the students and promise not to make the same mistake again."

Lu Su also agreed, and then said: "Teacher Dongfanghong missed you very much, and she went out to look for you yesterday."

Wenxuan was stunned when he heard this, and a hint of unnaturalness flashed across his face, but he didn't say anything else.

But Wenxuan thought for a moment and said, "Even so, it's better to thank Dongfanghong."

Xi Yu nodded slightly and said, "It's over, I'm leaving too."

Wenxuan replied softly, "Goodbye, Prime Minister. I'll see you off." Then he followed Xiyu and sent him out.

After Xiyu left, Wenxuan took a deep breath and went to the office to find Dongfanghong.

When Dongfanghong saw Wenxuan, she was stunned, her eyes widened, and she could not 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: "I told you to respect yourself and let go of your hand!"

Dongfanghong finally woke up from her dream and realized that she had lost her composure. She quickly retracted her hand and apologized repeatedly with a red face: "I'm sorry, Wenxuan, I was too excited at the time."

Wenxuan briefly explained the reason for his disappearance, and as he was speaking, Xiyu also came back.

Dongfanghong was also very relieved to see that Wenxuan was safe and sound.

Wenxuan said, "I heard from Lu Su that you had been looking for me, so I came here specially to thank you."

Dongfanghong's eyes were burning as she said eagerly, "This is all as I should do, because you should understand my feelings for you, Wenxuan."

Wenxuan's face darkened and he said, "Stop it right now and don't say any more."

After saying that, he turned around and left without looking back.

Dongfanghong looked at Wenxuan's departing back and sighed helplessly.

Wenxuan went to class. She stood on the podium and solemnly explained her disappearance to her classmates.

After listening to her, some students expressed their understanding, while others were worried about her.

The college quickly made a punishment decision and posted the punishment notice in a conspicuous place in the yard.

Teachers and students passing by stopped to watch and talk about it.

After Xi Yu returned home, the doorman immediately saluted him respectfully.

Xi Yu waved his hand, indicating that they didn't need to be polite, and then strode back into the house.

As soon as he entered the house, he saw that it was clean and tidy, and his bed was even cleaner and tidy.

Although I am not at home, someone makes my bed every day.

He immediately lay down on it and couldn't help but let out a long sigh of satisfaction: "Ah, it's really comfortable. I've lived in the inn outside for so long, but it's not as comfortable as my own bed."

He closed his eyes, feeling the familiar scent and the soft bed, and all the fatigue from the past few days seemed to have dissipated a lot at this moment.

After a while, Xi Yu remembered the letter Liu Bei sent, and he muttered, "I almost forgot about it."

So he got up from the bed, walked to the table, picked up the letter and prepared to open it to read.

At this time, Sun Shangxiang came 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 gone for a long time, and I miss you so much."

Xi Yu turned his head, looked at Sun Shangxiang, smiled and said, "It's thoughtful. But I'm not hungry now, I'll eat later." After that, he concentrated on reading the letter again.

Sun Shangxiang gently placed the lotus seed soup on the table and stood quietly by the side, watching Xi Yu who was concentrating, without making any more noise to disturb him.

After reading the letter, Xi Yu's face suddenly changed, and he was shocked and asked, "How could Guan Yu do such a thing?"

His brows were furrowed, his face full of disbelief.

He immediately turned to Sun Shangxiang and said, "This letter is a conspiracy."

Sun Shangxiang looked puzzled and asked doubtfully, "Husband, what is going on?"

Xi Yu looked solemn. He handed the letter to her and said, "You will know after reading it yourself."

Sun Shangxiang took the letter and read it carefully.

After a while, Xi Yu asked Sun Shangxiang to express her opinion.

Sun Shangxiang frowned slightly, shook her head and said, "My dear, 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 trick to keep Guan Yu. This is simply outrageous." After listening to Xi Yu's words, Sun Shangxiang pondered for a moment, nodded slowly and replied, "My husband's analysis, I also feel that there is some truth in it."

Xi Yu frowned slightly and said to Sun Shangxiang, "You can leave first. I will eat lotus seed soup later."

Sun Shangxiang bowed slightly and said, "Yes, husband." Then she turned and left.

Xi Yu sat at the table, continuing to think about the questions raised by the letter, his expression becoming increasingly solemn.

After a long while, he let out a long sigh, temporarily pulled his thoughts away from the letter, and turned to look at the bowl of lotus seed soup.

The lotus seed soup was no longer steaming at this time. Xi Yu picked up the bowl and stirred it gently with a spoon. He took a sip and found it slightly cool, but still sweet and delicious.

At night, Xi Yu decided to wake up the ladies except Ouyang Linlin, and they all sat around in the house with flickering candlelight.

Xi Shi was the first to break the silence and specifically asked, "Why is Tuoba Yu missing?"

Xi Yu's face immediately darkened, his eyes were cold, and he said sternly: "No one is allowed to mention her again in the future!"

Everyone was so frightened by his sudden anger that they dared not say a word. The atmosphere in the room froze instantly and the scene became a little awkward for a while.

The next day, Xi Yu decided to deal with Liu Bei's matter later.

He walked to Gan Mei's room and heard laughter coming from inside.

He was curious and walked in immediately.

Seeing this, Gan Mei and several maids hurriedly bowed.

Gan Mei looked apologetic and said softly, "My dear husband, I heard that you had returned yesterday, but it was already very late when I found out, so I was unable to go to greet you."

Xi Yu smiled slightly, waved his hand and said, "It's okay, it's okay." As he spoke, his eyes searched the house anxiously, "I came here this time because I hope to see my son Xi Ping'an."

When seeing Xi Ping'an's lovely appearance, Xi Yu's eyes were full of love.

After not seeing each other for a long time, he found that Xi Ping An had grown up a lot. He walked forward excitedly, lifted Xi Ping An up high, with a happy smile on his face, and kept teasing him: "My little baby Ping An, you have grown up again!"

But Xi Ping'an just giggled and didn't call anyone.

But to Xi Yu, this innocent laughter was like the sound of nature, making him feel extremely satisfied and comfortable.

He looked at his son's pink little face, as if all his fatigue and worries disappeared at this moment.

Xi Yu held Xi Ping'an in his arms, pacing back and forth in the room, murmuring softly: "Ping'an, Ping'an, grow up quickly, Daddy hopes that you can call me soon."

His eyes were full of anticipation 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's walking posture was a little strange, her brows were slightly wrinkled, and she looked very painful.

Xi Yu hurried forward to support her and asked with concern: "Xi Shi, what's wrong with you?"

Xi Shi complained coquettishly: "It's because you were too fierce last night, my husband."

Xi Yu couldn't help laughing after hearing this. He took Xi Shi into his arms and said softly, "It's because I missed you so much."

After Xi Yu returned to the room and just sat down to rest for a while, Song Meijiao walked in.

She said with a smile: "My husband, I heard that Sun Shangxiang sent lotus seed soup yesterday, and I also made a soup today."

Xi Yu laughed helplessly, waved his hand and said, "Mei Jiao, there's no need to be like this, I'm full."

The smile on Song Meijiao's face froze for a moment, and a hint of disappointment flashed across her eyes, but she quickly returned to normal and said coquettishly, "Then my husband has failed me in my kindness, hasn't he?"

Seeing Song Meijiao's disappointed expression, Xi Yu's heart softened. He stood up and took her hand, saying softly, "Meijiao's feelings, how could I not know? It's just that I really can't eat now."

Xiyu smiled and scratched her nose: "But you are such a considerate person."

Song Mei rolled her eyes at him coquettishly: "I am really kind to my husband."

But in order not to disappoint her, Xiyu picked up the spoon and ate a few mouthfuls carefully, then said: "Meijiao, this soup tastes very good, but I am really full and can't eat more."

When Song Meijiao saw him eating, a happy smile spread across her face: "As long as my husband likes it."

Xiyu smiled and nodded: "Okay, Meijiao, you go back and rest first."

Song Meijiao bowed and said softly, "Then I'll take my leave. My husband, please don't overwork yourself."

She left.

Next, Xi Yu sat at the desk, brows furrowed, and thought carefully about Liu Bei's matter again.

He felt that this matter was of great importance and he had to go to Fangjun in person to investigate it thoroughly.

After making up his mind, he quickly packed his luggage, jumped on his horse, and galloped away.

But he didn't tell anyone about this.

At night, when the ladies gathered together, Xi Shi asked in confusion, "Why did my husband leave again? He didn't even say hello."

Ouyang Linlin also echoed: "Yes, is there something urgent?"

Song Meijiao was worried: "I don't know if my husband's trip will be smooth."

The ladies were talking to each other, their hearts filled with worry.

At night, Xi Yu came to an inn.

He angrily threw the bag on the table, sat down on the stool, and his face looked terribly gloomy.

He thought angrily in his heart that although Liu Bei would not do anything to him on the surface, he clearly had rebellious intentions.

The more he thought about it, the angrier he became. He suddenly picked up the teacup on the table, raised his head and drank it all in one gulp, as if he wanted to swallow down the anger in his heart.

Xi Yu slammed the teacup heavily on the table and said through gritted teeth: "Liu Bei, Liu Bei, you are such an ambitious person, don't think I can't see what you are thinking."

He folded his hands over his chest, frowned, and his eyes were filled with deep worry: "If I don't expose your conspiracy this time, it will become a big problem in the future."

At this moment, the noise in the inn seemed to have nothing to do with him. Various interactions with Liu Bei in the past kept emerging in his mind, and he tried to find more clues to confirm his guess.

Another day passed, and Zhao Yun heard that Xi Yu had returned. His heart, which had been hanging in the air, finally settled down a little. He decided to find Xi Yu and tell him about his mistakes.

Especially the loss of the treasure and Chen Shou, these two things made him feel extremely guilty.

Zhao Yun arrived at the Prime Minister's residence full of trepidation, but was told that the Prime Minister was out again.

This news was like a bucket of cold water, instantly extinguishing the hope that had just ignited in him and making him feel uneasy again.

After Zhao Yun left, he walked on the road with a heavy heart. Suddenly, a familiar figure appeared in front of him. It was Zhuge Liang.

The two looked at each other and greeted each other.

Zhuge Liang looked guilty and apologized to Zhao Yun: "Zilong, someone informed me when you were in trouble. But I am just a weak scholar, powerless, and I can't do anything in such a situation. I hope you don't mind."

Zhao Yun immediately bowed and said, "Sir, you are too kind. This is my own fault. How dare I blame you?"

"Zilong is loyal and brave, don't blame yourself too much on this matter."

Zhuge Liang then smiled and said, "Since we meet today, why don't we go have some tea together and catch up on the past."

Zhao Yun also readily agreed: "It is better to obey than to be respectful. Thank you very much."

So the two of them came to a teahouse.

As soon as they entered the door, the waiter came to greet them warmly and led them to a quiet corner to sit down.

Zhuge Liang flicked his sleeves and sat down gracefully, while Zhao Yun stood tall and sat upright.

Zhuge Liang took a sip of tea and looked at Zhao Yun gently, hoping that Zhao Yun could share some of the experiences along the way.

Zhao Yun looked bitter, sighed heavily and said, "Military Advisor, this journey has been so pathetic."

But under Zhuge Liang's encouraging gaze, he slowly told the story.

"I was ordered to guard the treasure, but who would have thought that the thief was so cunning, making a feint to the east and attacking in the west, stealing the treasure when I was not prepared. And Chen Shou, I should have protected him, but" (End of this chapter)
