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

Xi Yu and Ouyang Lian stood at the entrance of Fangjun City. The autumn wind blew gently, lifting the corners of their clothes.

Xi Yu had a serious expression, but his eyes were gentle. He looked at Ouyang Lian and said, "Ouyang Lian, let's say goodbye now. You should do your best to manage Fang County and don't let the people down."

Ouyang Lian bowed slightly with a respectful look.

"Thank you Prime Minister for your kindness to the people. Don't worry, sir. I will do my best to live up to your trust."

Xi Yu nodded slightly.

"As the prime minister, it is my duty to work for the well-being of the people. Fang County is an important place, you need to govern it carefully to ensure that the people live and work in peace and contentment."

After saying this, Xi Yu turned around and rode away on his horse.

Ouyang Lian looked at Xi Yu's receding back and felt a surge of admiration in his heart.

He secretly vowed to manage Fang County in an orderly manner and live up to the prime minister's trust.

Ouyang Lian returned to Fangjun City and immediately plunged into busy government affairs.

A few days later, Xi Yu was riding a horse and walking slowly on the streets of Youzhou.

When the people saw him, they greeted him warmly. Xi Yu responded with a smile. That smile was as warm as the spring breeze, making people feel close to him.

The sound of horse hooves could be heard as Xi Yu passed by the shop where Hu Lin was.

At this time, Hu Lin was busy, with beads of sweat oozing out of his forehead.

He looked up inadvertently, and his eyes froze instantly. Wasn't that familiar figure the friend he had been with before?
But why did everyone call him the Prime Minister? Hu Lin was shocked. Could he be the Prime Minister?
Hu Lin stared at Xi Yu blankly and forgot about the work in his hands for a moment.

Xi Yu seemed to have noticed Hu Lin's gaze and turned to look. When their eyes met, Xi Yu nodded slightly.

Hu Lin stood there, his mind in a tangle.

After a moment, he could no longer suppress the doubts in his heart and quickly came to Xi Yu.

His voice was trembling as he murmured, "Are you the Prime Minister?"

Xi Yu nodded slightly, his expression calm.

Hu Lin's expression suddenly became complicated, and an indescribable discomfort surged in his heart.

Prime Minister? Isn't that his love rival?
A hint of hostility flashed in his eyes and he looked at Xi Yu viciously.

However, Xi Yu just frowned slightly, a little surprised by his reaction.

Hu Lin remained in a stalemate for a moment, then turned around and went back to the shop with heavy steps.

Xiyu understood. This guy regarded him as a love rival. He shook his head helplessly and sighed in his heart: Is it necessary? He and Wenxuan are just ordinary friends.

Xi Yu wanted to explain, but looking at Hu Lin's back as he left angrily, he knew that nothing he said would help.

He sighed softly and continued riding forward.

Xi Yu returned home, so exhausted that he couldn't wait to take a rest.

However, as soon as he sat down, Gan Mei came hurriedly.

"Husband, someone has delivered a letter." Gan Mei respectfully handed the letter to Xi Yu.

Gan Mei looked at Xi Yu with concern in her eyes, and then asked, "Husband, where have you been recently?"

Xi Yu relaxed his brows slightly and said softly, "I went to Fang Jun to deal with some things."

Gan Mei nodded thoughtfully, and then said: "There must be something important in the letter. It is not convenient for me to be here, so I will withdraw first."

Gan Mei turned around slowly and left with light steps.

Xi Yu gently opened the letter, looked at its contents intently, and his expression gradually became solemn.

The room was so quiet that the only sound of flipping papers could be heard. Xi Yu fell into deep thought.

Xi Yu stared at the letter in his hand. It turned out to be a reply from the King of Parthia, with a portrait of the princess attached.

His eyes fell on the portrait, and his eyes lit up instantly. The princess in the painting was beautiful and charming, and her charm reminded him of the portrait he had lost, in which the woman was also vivid.

A strong urge surged in Xi Yu's heart, and he decided to start a large-scale search for the lost portrait.

After a moment, he immediately ordered the soldiers to go out and find some painters.

The soldiers took the order and quickly searched the city for a skilled painter.

Soon, several painters were brought in front of Xi Yu.

Xi Yu pointed at the portrait of the Parthian princess and said seriously, "Draw a few more copies of this portrait for me and prepare to post them on a large scale."

The painters responded respectfully and started painting immediately.

Xi Yu stood aside, his eyes full of anticipation.

He believed that by posting portraits on a large scale, he would be able to find the lost princess.

Xi Yu gazed at the busy figures of the painters, but his thoughts gradually drifted away.

Unconsciously, a picture emerged in his mind - he was marrying the princess of Parthia, in a grand wedding full of joy.

However, as soon as this scene appeared, Xi Yu was suddenly startled.

He wondered in his heart, am I too greedy? I already have so many wives, why am I still thinking about other women?

Xi Yu shook his head slightly, a self-deprecating smile on his face.

This may be a common problem among men, who are always easily attracted to beautiful women.

But Xi Yu also knew that he was indeed selfish, just like the Kushan Empire. If he didn't want to help, then he wouldn't help. As a great country, there was no need for him to have to look at other people's faces.

But why did he care so much about the Parthian Empire? Wasn't it because of this beautiful princess? Of course, he didn't care about it last time, but since the portrait was lost, he has become concerned now.

This is probably God's will.

Moreover, the king also said in the letter just now that there is definite evidence proving that the princess was indeed stranded in the Han Empire.

Therefore, Xi Yu believed that this was a gift from God. Perhaps God had destined him to meet Princess Anxi. He said silently in his heart, I wonder where this beautiful princess is?

The painters finished painting many portraits, and by the end of the day they had produced hundreds of them.

Xi Yu planned to let the soldiers post it tomorrow.

The next day, many soldiers followed Xi Yu's order and posted the notices outside.

It caused quite a stir at once, and as mentioned above, whoever can find clues will receive a lot of rewards.

So many people slowly spread the news, but many people thought that even though such a huge reward was offered, it would be difficult to find the person.
So for many people, this is not an opportunity, but only a source of envy.

On the other hand, after Hu Lin discovered Xi Yu that day, he was absent-minded every day.

What made him feel painful was why he loved Wenxuan so much? He traveled so far for Wenxuan and stayed here to work.

But why did the other party disdain me? But why am I so cheap?

Why does he pursue her when she clearly doesn't love him? Isn't it better for him to let go?

On this day, he was unable to work properly because of his thoughts.

Coincidentally, Lin Dajiang came back from outside and saw him in a daze, so he asked him what was going on and why he didn't do any of the work at hand.
Hulin sighed.

Lin Dajiang pointed at his nose viciously and said, how many times has this happened since he came here?
His eyes were dull and he wasn't working at all. Was he just here to eat for free? He even slapped him in the face.

Hu Lin never expected that Lin Dajiang would hit him. He looked at Lin Dajiang viciously.

Lin Dajiang said, "What are you looking at? You don't work and just eat my rice. Can't I hit you?"

Hu Lin was very angry at this time. He had been accommodating Lin Dajiang on several occasions before. Although he had done something wrong, he couldn't bear it anymore now, so he slapped him back, which directly stunned Lin Dajiang.

"You beast, is it wrong for me to hit you? You actually hit me, you are so cruel."

So the two of them started fighting right away.

But Lin Dajiang is an old man after all, and his strength is naturally not as good as Hu Lin's.

So soon, Hu Lin grabbed his neck and knocked him down.

At this time, Hu Lin was like a madman, beating Lin Dajiang violently. Lin Dajiang shouted loudly: "Let me go, let me go."

But it was of no use. At this moment, Hu Lin seemed to have lost his mind.

Hu Lin became more and more angry as he beat Lin Dajiang, and eventually he strangled Lin Dajiang to death, until Lin Dajiang opened his eyes wide, stopped talking and moving.

Hu Lin then realized something and hurried to check the other person's breath, only to find that the other person was dead.

He was shocked. How could he have killed someone? He had never done such a thing before.

But he was a little panicked and his arms were shaking. He thought he should run away quickly.

Hu Lin began to run out frantically, and before he knew it, he had run into a forest. At this moment, he put his hand on a tree, and he felt that his body was about to fall, so the tree became his support.

He suddenly started spitting madly and felt a little nauseous.

How did you kill someone?

It still seems a little unbelievable.

Fortunately, there were only two of them in the store at the time, and no one outside saw it, so naturally no one would report it to the police or anything like that.

He thought of the root of the matter again. To be honest, wasn't it Wenxuan who caused the trouble? If Wenxuan had agreed to him earlier, he wouldn't have stayed here, and a series of things wouldn't have happened later.

He thought that all this was caused by Wenxuan, and a vicious look appeared on his face.

He really wanted to kill Wenxuan, but he couldn't bear to do so.

Xi Yu had been paying attention to the portrait. A whole day had passed, but there was still no clue.

Xi Yu certainly understood that the Han Empire was so huge, how could it be possible to find people all at once?
A few days passed quietly, but there was still no progress in the search for the Parthian princess. No one found any trace of the princess, nor provided any useful clues.

Just as everyone was anxiously waiting, one day, Lu Su hurried to the Prime Minister's Mansion.

He looked flustered and anxious.

As soon as he arrived at the gate of the Prime Minister's Mansion, Lu Su asked the soldiers to report immediately, claiming that he had an urgent matter to discuss with the Prime Minister.

Seeing that Lu Su was so anxious, the soldiers did not dare to delay and hurriedly asked him to go in.

Xi Yu was thinking about his next plan in the study when he heard the noise outside. He looked up and saw Lu Su walking in in a hurry.

Xi Yu frowned slightly and asked, "Zijing, why are you so flustered? What happened?"

Lu Su panted heavily, trying to calm himself down, and then said anxiously: "Prime Minister, something bad has happened..."

Xi Yu saw Lu Su suddenly burst into tears, and his heart tightened. He quickly said, "Zijing, don't cry. If you have anything to say, just say it slowly."

Lu Su held back his tears and said in a trembling voice: "Prime Minister, Teacher Wenxuan is missing. To be exact, it's not missing, because someone sent a letter."

Xiyu was shocked when he heard this. Wenxuan always had a special place in his heart, and now that he heard that she was missing, he was extremely anxious.

He immediately said, "Zijing, tell me the details of what happened."

Lu Su took a deep breath, trying to calm himself, and began to narrate what had happened: "Early this morning, when it was time for Teacher Wenxuan to teach, he did not go to class. Just as he was wondering, a stranger brought him a letter. The letter stated that Teacher Wenxuan was in their hands, and asked Prime Minister... " Lu Su hesitated here, not knowing whether he should continue.

Xi Yu's eyes were stern, and he urged, "How about telling me your true identity? Keep talking."

Xi Yu was extremely confused at this time. Looking at Lu Su's anxious look, he also knew the seriousness of the matter.

Lu Su remembered the letter he was carrying with him and quickly took it out and handed it to Xi Yu.

Xi Yu took it quickly. He naturally understood that Lu Su was so panicked because he was worried about Wenxuan.

Xi Yu opened the letter and quickly scanned the paper. When he saw the signature, his face became even gloomier.

The letter was actually written by Hu Lin, which said that Wenxuan was in his hands and that the prime minister must go to a designated place to meet him, otherwise Wenxuan's life would be in danger.

Xi Yu cursed inwardly, and the scenes of his previous meetings with Hu Lin emerged again in his mind.

This Hu Lin actually acted so rashly.

However, he immediately breathed a sigh of relief, after all, it was not really impossible to find Wenxuan.

Now that we have clues to follow, I feel a little relieved.

Xi Yu began to calm down and think about how to deal with the situation.

Lu Su said anxiously, "I have read the letter. I didn't know what it said at the time, but the letter also strictly required me to come and deliver it. Prime Minister, what should I do?"

Xi Yu’s face was solemn.

"In that case, I will rush to that place and rescue Wenxuan immediately."

After hearing this, Lu Su breathed a sigh of relief and said, "I am relieved. I hope the Prime Minister can arrive safely and rescue Teacher Wenxuan safely."

Then, Lu Su said, "This man named Hu Lin once went to the college to look for Wenxuan. He was like a dog-skin plaster. Teacher Wenxuan didn't like him, but he wanted to stick to him."

Xi Yu frowned slightly, feeling even more dissatisfied with Hu Lin's behavior.

But at the moment he had no time to care about these things, his mind was full of how to rescue Wenxuan as soon as possible.

Xi Yu decisively said to Lu Su: "Zijing, you hurry back. I will start the action right away."

Lu Su nodded, turned and left.

He walked hurriedly. Although he was still worried, he knew that he could not waste Xi Yu's time any longer.

After Lu Su returned to Youzhou College, he breathed a sigh of relief. However, his heart was not as calm as it seemed. In fact, his worry about Wenxuan was not entirely for Wenxuan's sake.

Wenxuan has a special status and has a very good relationship with Xiyu. If Wenxuan makes a mistake, it will be difficult for me to explain myself. So I was half-truthful in front of Xiyu just now.

Lu Su paced back and forth in the academy, secretly thinking about the subsequent development of this matter.

At this time, Xi Yu had already begun to make intensive preparations for the rescue of Wen Xuan.

Although the letter did not explicitly say that he should go alone, Xi Yu decided to go alone. Otherwise, if he angered Hu Lin, he might do something desperate, which would be really bad for Wen Xuan.

Because it is normal for a person to turn from love to hate, and he may do something crazy, so you must never take it lightly.

Xi Yu followed the instructions in the letter and rode at full speed towards the final destination.

It was a quiet dense forest. Xi Yu shuttled through the forest and soon found a small stone house.

He wondered to himself, could Wenxuan be in there?

Xi Yu rode his horse to the door of the small stone house and dismounted.

He stood at the door and shouted loudly, "Is anyone there?" His voice echoed in the dense forest, but no one responded.

Xi Yu frowned, feeling uneasy.

He approached the door of the stone house cautiously and pushed it gently.

But there was nothing inside.

Xi Yu walked around the stone house, trying to find other entrances or clues.

However, there was nothing around the stone house except dense woods. He returned to the door again, feeling extremely anxious.

Where is Wenxuan? Where is Hu Lin?

Xi Yu walked through the entire dense forest again, but there was no one there.

He really felt incredible. What on earth was going on? Why did Hu Lin call him here?

Even if you ask me to do something, at least you have to see me.

He felt as if he had been deceived. Could it be that Hu Lin had moved to another location?
The reason why he didn't notify me was just to play a trick on me.

He secretly said viciously that if Hu Lin really had any special ideas, he would never let him go or even cut him into pieces.

After a while, Xi Yu let himself breathe a sigh of relief.

Now that we are here, we have to wait here, but the sun has slowly set, the sky has become cooler and cooler, but there is still no sign of anyone.

He had to admit that he had indeed been fooled by Hu Lin, but the other party was in the dark while he was in the light.

How can I communicate with the other party?
And suddenly there were many bad thoughts in my mind. Could it be that Wenxuan has encountered an accident now? (End of this chapter)
