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

Xiyu listened quietly, narrowed his eyes slightly, and thought about the truth in Linglong's words.

Looking at Linglong's haggard face and sad eyes, he couldn't help but feel a trace of pity in his heart.

But he quickly suppressed this trace of pity.

"So, you have been hiding here all the time?" Xi Yu asked.

Linglong nodded and said, "I have nowhere to go, so I can only hide here temporarily. I thought I could live a peaceful life, but I didn't expect to be discovered by you."

Xiyu's eyes were cold as he continued to ask Linglong about the Huang family.

Linglong was helpless and said slowly: "I was favored by Master Huang and became a maid, but was bullied by villains. But later Master Huang took pity on me and made me his wife."

Xi Yu narrowed his eyes slightly and said coldly: "There are rumors that Master Huang was killed by you. Is this true?"

Linglong was about to deny it, but she saw Xiyu's sharp eyes.

Her heart trembled, and after hesitating for a moment, she nodded seriously to indicate that this was indeed the case.

The atmosphere in the room instantly dropped to freezing point.

"Why are you doing this?" Xi Yu asked.

Linglong's eyes flashed with a complicated look, and then she said: "As a princess, I want to be the master of the house. Therefore, only by killing Young Master Huang can I have the final say."

Her voice trembled slightly, and she sighed, "I don't want to do this either. I feel sorry for Master Huang."

After saying this, Linglong seemed to be relieved. She looked at Xiyu nervously and asked, "I have said everything I should say. Do you want to hand me over to the court?"

Xi Yu just looked at her seriously without saying anything.

The room fell into silence, with only the sound of Linglong's rapid breathing.

She was filled with uneasiness, not knowing what Xi Yu was thinking.

"What exactly do you want?" Linglong asked again, with a hint of anxiety in her voice.

Xiyu did not respond to Linglong's question immediately, but suddenly said: "You must be hungry. You were frozen all night last night, and you are probably going to catch a cold. You should rest first. I will stay here for another night."

Linglong looked at Xiyu fiercely, feeling secretly annoyed that this man really didn't treat her as an outsider.

But she did feel a little sleepy and her body was a little cold.

After Xi Yu finished speaking, he came outside and told the servants, "Hurry up and cook and call the doctor."

Many servants saw him giving orders like the master, and they began to speculate that this must be the lady's new favorite.

After all, Xu Dabao usually gives them orders in this way.

The atmosphere in the mansion became increasingly subtle. The servants whispered to each other, full of curiosity and confusion about the sudden appearance of this stranger.

Linglong was in the room, her mind full of thoughts, not knowing what Xiyu was planning.

Guan Yu took Zhao Qiang on the journey to his home. Along the way, Guan Yu looked serious and looked around vigilantly from time to time to prevent Zhao Qiang from playing any tricks.

Zhao Qiang led the way cautiously, saying, "My dear, you have been watching me the whole time, and I have no chance to come back to report anything. How could you possibly play tricks? This is indeed my home."

Finally we arrived at Zhao Qiang's home. The yard was empty and seemed a little deserted.

Zhao Qiang took Guan Yu to a room where an old woman was lying.

When the old woman saw Zhao Qiang, she immediately showed a happy expression on her face and said, "My son is back."

Zhao Qiang walked quickly to the old woman and said gently, "Mom, I'm back, and I've brought a guest with me."

Guan Yu stood aside, watching the scene quietly, and the doubts in his heart were slightly alleviated.

But he remained vigilant and prepared to further observe the family's situation to determine whether what Zhao Qiang said was true.

Guan Yu looked at the coughing old woman, and his heart moved slightly. He then asked the old woman: "Is Zhao Qiang really your son?"

The old woman looked surprised and said, "Of course he is my son. Why do you ask?" After that, she started coughing violently again.

Guan Yu looked at the old woman's weak appearance and felt that she was indeed ill.

He smiled awkwardly and walked out, and Zhao Qiang hurriedly followed him out.

Guan Yu said to Zhao Qiang, "I need to go outside to ask around." After that, he quickly went outside and found a few neighbors.

After questioning, we confirmed that this was indeed Zhao Qiang's home, and that Zhao Qiang's family was indeed very poor.

Guan Yu's doubts were completely eliminated, and he began to think about how to help the mother and son.

After all, Liu Bei was a man of benevolence, so he couldn't just sit back and watch.

At this time, Guan Yu was standing on the street, looking in the direction of Zhao Qiang's house, and he had made a decision in his heart.

He decided to go back and tell Liu Bei about this and discuss ways to help Zhao Qiang and his mother.

Guan Yu came to Zhao Qiang's yard again and coughed lightly.

Zhao Qiang immediately came out of the house. Guan Yu looked at Zhao Qiang and said solemnly: "I have confirmed that your family is very poor. I am willing to help you. However, a grown man cannot just stay at home and take care of his mother. He should do something."

Zhao Qiang sighed and said helplessly: "I can't be too far away, otherwise who will take care of my mother?"

Guan Yu thought about it and realized that it was indeed the case. He thought awkwardly, why are you talking about others? Isn't he also free now?
But he immediately took out some money, handed it to Zhao Qiang, and said, "Go get some medicine for your mother first."

Zhao Qiang looked at the currency in Guan Yu's hand, and a touch of emotion flashed in his eyes.

He took the money with trembling hands and thanked him repeatedly: "Thank you very much, my dear! Thank you very much, my dear! I, Zhao Qiang, will never forget your kindness."

Guan Yu waved his hand and said, "There is no need to do this. Take good care of your mother. If you have a chance, find another way to make a living." After that, Guan Yu turned and left, but he still felt a little confused about his and Zhao Qiang's future.

Guan Yu quickly returned to Liu Bei's residence and told him the true situation of Zhao Qiang's family in detail.

After hearing this, Liu Bei smiled with relief and said, "Fortunately, I am merciful. But my second brother was so impulsive yesterday that he almost killed a good man by mistake."

Guan Yu sighed and said, "It's good that you want to help others, but how long can this person help? The key is to look after himself. I also want to persuade him to do something, but he still has to take care of his old mother."

Liu Bei nodded slightly, thought for a moment and said, "Yun Chang is right. But since we have already offered our help, we cannot give up halfway. Let's see if we can find a way for him to take care of his mother and make a living at the same time."

Guan Yu looked at Liu Bei, and a feeling of admiration welled up in his heart. Big brother is always so kind and considerate. He said: "Big brother, you are kind, I admire you. But this method is not easy to think of."

Liu Bei smiled and said, "Think about it slowly, there will always be a way."

Guan Yu sighed and said helplessly: "I am talking about others, but I have nothing to do myself."

After hearing this, Liu Bei suddenly had an idea and said, "Why don't I write another letter to the Prime Minister and ask him to arrange a job for you, Yunchang?"

Guan Yu immediately felt something was wrong and said, "Brother, we have already offended the Prime Minister, how could this be possible?" Liu Bei disagreed and said, "What's the big deal? When we are in trouble, the Prime Minister will come to help us, right? We should at least give it a try. Is it because you can't save face?"

Guan Yu quickly said: "Of course not, in this case, please give it a try."

Liu Bei nodded slightly, thinking about how to word the letter, hoping to find a suitable job for Guan Yu and add hope for their future.

Liu Bei sat at the table, concentrating and calming down, carefully considering every word in the letter to the prime minister. He knew the importance of this letter, which not only affected Guan Yu's future, but also might affect their future direction.

Finally, Liu Bei finished writing the letter, folded the letter paper carefully and put it in the envelope.

Afterwards, Liu Bei began to look for the person who delivered the letter nearby.

This time, he deliberately found a very poor villager.

The villager was ragged and looked haggard, but his eyes revealed a hint of determination.

Liu Bei handed the letter to the villager and said, "This letter is very important. Please make sure to deliver it to the Prime Minister. As a reward, I will give you some financial support." The villager's eyes flashed with surprise. He held the letter tightly and said solemnly, "Don't worry, my dear, I will definitely deliver the letter."

The villagers left happily with the letter.

Xu Dabao had been locked up in the woodshed for a day. During this day, he had hardly eaten or drunk anything and was completely exhausted.

At night, the secret guard came and opened the door of the woodshed.

Xu Dabao glared at the secret guard and asked, "Who are you? Why are you torturing me like this?"

The secret guard sneered and said contemptuously: "You are going to harm my master, can't I torture you?"

Xu Dabao hurriedly defended himself, "I was also listening to my wife. She told me to do this."

The secret guard disagreed and retorted: "Then my master lets me torture you for a day and not let you eat or drink. Is there any problem?"

Xu Dabao was speechless after being asked this question. He knew that he was indeed in the wrong in this matter.

He lowered his head and said no more.

The secret guard looked at Xu Dabao's appearance and did not feel the slightest sympathy in his heart.

Xu Dabao didn't know what fate he would face next.

After a while, Xi Yu walked in.

When Xu Dabao saw Xi Yu, he felt like he had seen a life-saving straw and begged, "Good man, please let me go. In fact, it was my madam who asked me to do that. I didn't want to throw you into the well." However, Xi Yu had a blank expression on his face and looked at Xu Dabao coldly.

He suddenly raised his foot and kicked Xu Dabao on the chin, mocking him, "You really know how to change your attitude according to the situation. When I first came here, you tripped me up, and now you're begging for mercy?"

Xu Dabao felt so much pain from being kicked, but he didn't dare to get angry.

He could only continue to beg: "Good man, I know I was wrong. Please forgive me this time. I will definitely follow your lead in the future."

Xi Yu looked at Xu Dabao with disgust in his eyes and said, "Xu Dabao, you deserve to die. The other servants all have opinions about you. You are arrogant and domineering. " Xu Dabao lowered his head in shame. He knew that his past actions were indeed hateful, but he thought that he did so because of the power given by his wife.

At this moment, Xu Dabao felt a little worried, wondering how his wife was doing now.

So, he asked Xi Yu tentatively: "Good man, what's the situation with the lady now?"

Xi Yu sneered and did not answer Xu Dabao's question.

But this time, he ordered the kitchen to cook for Xu Dabao.

After a while, someone from the kitchen came to bring food to Xu Dabao.

The man looked at Xu Dabao who was locked in the woodshed and couldn't help but ask tentatively: "Why are you here?"

Xu Dabao was already in a bad mood, and when he heard this, he said angrily, "Just deliver the food, why are you asking so many questions?"

The man was frightened by Xu Dabao's ferocious appearance and dared not ask any more questions.

Xu Dabao looked at the food in front of him, but he had no appetite. He was thinking about his own situation and his wife's situation, and he felt uneasy.

Xiyu came to Linglong's bed.

Linglong was frozen in the well all night last night and indeed developed a high fever. After the doctor gave her some medicine, she is feeling a little better now.

In the past, Xu Dabao always accompanied her, but now there is no maid around her.

At this moment, Linglong slowly opened her eyes, but found Xiyu was by her side.

But Xi Yu asked gently: "Are you awake?"

At this moment, Princess Linglong of Parthia was somewhat dazed.

She never thought that the person who had once questioned her coldly would be so gentle at this moment.

A complex emotion surged in Linglong's heart. She didn't know why Xiyu had such a change.

She moved her lips slightly, wanting to say something, but found that her voice was very hoarse.

Xi Yu seemed to see through her thoughts and said softly, "Don't talk for now and have a good rest. We'll talk when you feel better."

Linglong looked into Xiyu's eyes, which seemed to hide something that she couldn't see through.

She nodded slightly and closed her eyes again.

At this moment, her heart was filled with doubts and anxieties, not knowing what would be waiting for her in the future.

Linglong slowly opened her eyes, her weak breath filled with anxiety.

"How is Xu Dabao? You must let him go. He is innocent. I ordered him to do bad things."

A hint of anger flashed in Xiyu's eyes.

"You are so kind to him. Xu Dabao is a man who is used to bullying others. How can he be so innocent?"

"Do you know how much pain his abuse of power has brought to so many people?" Xi Yu tried to make Linglong see Xu Dabao's true face.

Linglong shook her head slightly, her eyes full of sadness.

"I know he was wrong, but it all started with me. If it weren't for me, he wouldn't have gone down this path."

"Okay, I promise you, I will let him go for now. But if he does evil again, I will never show mercy." Xi Yu said.

After hearing this, Linglong showed a hint of relief on her face.

She closed her eyes and fell asleep peacefully, as if as long as Xu Dabao was safe, she could let go of everything.

At Xi Yu's command, the secret guards went to release Xu Dabao.

Xu Dabao regained his freedom and thanked the secret guards repeatedly with joy.

The secret guard just sneered, his eyes full of contempt.

"No need to thank me, you should thank Miss Linglong. You must behave yourself in the future. If you do evil again, I will kill you."

The secret guard's words were cold and decisive, like a sharp blade hanging over Xu Dabao's head.

Xu Dabao's heart trembled, he knew very well that the secret guard was not joking.

"Who exactly is your master?"

The secret guard's eyes were stern, and he said coldly: "Don't ask what you shouldn't ask."

Xu Dabao was so frightened that his face turned pale. He quickly kept silent and dared not make another sound.

In the office of Youzhou College, Wenxuan had just finished class and was sitting quietly organizing his thoughts.

At this time, Lu Su suddenly came over.

Seeing this, Wenxuan quickly stood up.

Lu Su looked at Wen Xuan and said with concern: "Since you were completely kidnapped last time, I have been worried that you would have sequelae. Is it okay?"

Wenxuan smiled faintly and responded, "I've forgotten everything."

After hearing this, Lu Su nodded repeatedly, "That's good, that's good."

Then Lu Su turned and left the office.

After Lu Su left, the office returned to peace.

Wenxuan couldn't help but think of Hu Lin again. After all, Hu Lin's death was a hurdle in her heart.

Although he didn't like Hu Lin, the other party died because of him after all.

Those past scenes kept appearing in Wenxuan's mind, and her mood became heavy.

Wenxuan sighed softly, looked out the window, his thoughts drifting far away, wondering what challenges would be waiting for him in the future.

After a while, Wenxuan tried to divert his attention and remembered the portrait of the Parthian Princess that was now posted in the city.

She immediately felt unhappy. The reason why Xi Yu looked for this woman was probably because he wanted to develop her into his wife, right?

This man is always so greedy.

But she felt that she was overthinking it, maybe he was really doing something important!

Even if this is true, what does it have to do with me?

I look down on men of this era, but that doesn’t mean Xi Yu can’t like other women.

The monogamy of the previous life is impossible to achieve at this time, and I shouldn’t be so obsessed!

She sighed deeply and thought of another question.

If Xiyu doesn’t have other women, will she marry Xiyu?

Or if Xiyu only has her as his woman and promises not to look for other women, will she agree?

For a long time, her feelings towards Xi Yu have been very complicated.

She was in a daze for a long time before her thoughts stopped.

And Xiyu has been guarding Linglong.

He looked at the delicate face and thought it was very beautiful.

But he has now given up the idea of ​​getting the other person, which is different from his original intention.

After all, this woman had an affair with Xu Dabao, and he would never marry her!

Although he doesn't have a virgin complex, he always feels that the other person is dirty.

But Xi Yu thought, since he was here, he had to make things perfect.

In this way, Xi Yu guarded silently, and several hours passed unknowingly.

Linglong opened her eyes after a while.

"It's time to take the medicine." Xi Yu said. (End of this chapter)
