Maybe everyone was too worried because they were unwilling to mention Yang Yi's matter in front of Li Yu, or maybe everyone felt that the important military and political matters they talked about were not suitable for women to get involved, so when Li Yu arrived, everyone didn't speak again, but quietly watched Su Zhongzhai and the two children play happily.

And Li Yu was respectfully serving by Su Zhongzhai's side, and he had no intention of leaving.

I don't know how long it took, Du Huai, the counselor of Chengzhou, seemed to be waiting a little anxiously, and was about to step forward to speak, but Zhou Gongyi, who had been silent on the side, suddenly took two steps forward and bowed his hand and said: "Princess, there are still many important things to do under your subordinates, can you retire first." ”

Everyone was slightly stunned, not because Zhou Gongyi was about to leave suddenly, but because Zhou Gongyi was bidding farewell to Li Yu, not Su Zhongzhai who was sitting in the hall.

Li Yu also seemed to be a little surprised, and habitually glanced back at Su Zhongzhai, Su Zhongzhai didn't seem to hear it, still playing with Yang Jian, who was playing with his beard, and a hearty laugh came out of his mouth.

Li Yu is also a knowledgeable person, although he was not panicked at this time, he nodded politely, and said in a calm tone: "Lord Zhou will go by himself if he has something." ”

Zhou Gongyi nodded, thought about it and said: "Wuzhi Mountain has recently improved the operation of the axle plate, and Xia Guan has built a few playthings called 'bicycles' according to His Royal Highness's previous ideas. ”

Li Yu glanced at Zhou Gongyi and said with a smile: "This concubine knows, and she will take the prince there one day." ”

Zhou Gongyi saluted again when he heard this, and then bowed his hand to Su Zhongzhai, who was in his hand, and said, "Mr. Su, the next official will retire first." ”

Su Zhongzhai waved his hand and said with a smile: "Lord Zhou, it's easy to go." ”

Zhou Gongyi turned around and bowed to Shamanaigu and Du Huai and the others: "Lords and generals, Gongyi will leave first. ”

"Master Zhou, walk slowly."

"Farewell."

Although everyone wondered why Zhou Gongyi left like this, they had to say goodbye one after another.

Sha Ma Naigu saw Zhou Gongyi leaving in a chic manner, and then turned his head to look at Li Yu and Su Zhongzhai playing under his knees, and suddenly his eyes seemed to think of something, and he also stepped forward and said: "Princess, the last general is also going back to the barracks to check." ”

Li Yu nodded and said: "General Naigu, my prince is not in Chengzhou, and the comfort of Chengzhou Mansion will be more than General Lao." ”

Before Shama Naigu could speak, Su Luan on the side had already stepped forward to hold Li Yu's arm and said with a smile: "Sister-in-law, don't worry, if he dares not to do his best, my sister will not follow." ”

"Haha!" Shama Naigu laughed loudly: "Don't worry, princess, with my Shama Naigu here, whoever dares to make a mistake in our Shu will definitely twist off his head and sacrifice it to the palace." ”

Li Yu smiled, turned to Du Huai and Ma You again, and said, "Lord Du, General Ma, the stability of Chengzhou Mansion will also have to work hard." ”

Du Huai and Ma You hurriedly bowed their hands and said: "Please let the princess and the prince relax, the lower officials (last generals) will do their best to ensure the peace of Chengzhou." ”

At this point, there was no need for everyone to stay here any longer, and they all said goodbye to Li Yu and Su Zhongzhai.

After everyone left, Li Yu turned to look at Su Zhongzhai and said, "Grandpa..."

Su Zhongzhai touched Yang Jian's round head lying on his knees, and said without raising his head: "You don't have to ask me, you did a good job." ”

Yang Jian didn't seem to be very interested in Su Zhongzhai's white beard, and wanted to climb on the chair like Shama Yuncheng, but because he was too short to climb, Su Zhongzhai saw this and motioned to Su Fan on the side to pick Yang Jian up.

Su Zhongzhai looked at Yang Jian in his arms, and said: "The true majesty of the dragon has never been a matter of living alone, but a subconscious inheritance, you see that Jian'er is so smart and clever, maybe he will be more likable than his father in the future." ”

Li Yu still didn't understand at this time, whether it was Zhou Gongyi and the others before, or Su Zhongzhai in front of him, they were all conveying a message to Li Yu in their extremely simple words and actions: they would be loyal to the Shu Palace, no matter whether Yang Yi would come back or not.

Perhaps, as Su Zhongzhai said, their allegiance was not to Yang Yi, but to the things that Yang Yi brought and left behind to the people of Shuzhong.

Li Yu took a breath softly, looking at the innocent and mischievous Yang Jian in Su Zhongzhai's arms, she suddenly wanted to cry, since she learned the news that Yang Yi was missing and was likely to fall off the cliff, she had been holding back herself, she knew that if she collapsed, the entire Shu Wangfu and even the entire Shu would fall into chaos.

"I believe Yi'er is not dead." Su Zhongzhai suddenly said without raising his head.

Li Yu was taken aback: "Grandfather..."

Su Zhongzhai smiled: "This is intuition, Yi'er, like her mother, never gives up easily, even if you are in a desperate situation, you should believe him." ”

Li Yu lowered his head and pondered for a moment, then raised his head to look at the sky in the north, and said softly as if talking to himself: "Husband... I'm sure you won't leave me and Jian'er behind..."

In the following days, Murong Sinan of Dayue Kingdom, Yue Jing of Qinzhou, Liu Wenzheng of Tongzhou and Hong Zhi of Qingzhou all sent letters to the Shu Palace.

These letters did not mention anything about Yang Yi's disappearance, but reported to the Shu Palace, as usual, on the political and military situation in various places.

Li Yu knew that it was impossible for these high-ranking officials and generals not to know the news of Yang Yi's disappearance, and that by doing so, they were actually expressing their loyalty to the Shu Palace, and whether Yang Yi was there or not, they would always be loyal to the palace and the prince.

For all this that happened in Shuzhong, Yang Yi didn't know at this time, he was seeing the majesty of nature in a distant place at this time, and Yang Yi, who was compared to a dragon by Su Zhongzhai and others, could only be a small grain of sand in front of nature.

In Daguang, most of the rivers flow eastward, and countless small rivers and mountain streams converge into a small river, which then flows into the Xiang River, and then rolls up in yellow sand and pours into the boundless sea.

But there are exceptions to everything.

Yang Yi looked blankly at the small river in front of him like a silver belt, and slowly looked into the distance along the direction of drinking water, and on the edge of the river's disappearance was a red sunset like a tomato.

The sunset reflects the sparkling water of the river, and you can clearly see the fish wandering aimlessly at the bottom of the river with the naked eye, one side of the river is full of yellow sand, but the other side is the endless grassland.

As far as the eye could see, Yang Yi could also see a few antelopes drinking in the shallows by the river, and no one knew where they would go after drinking the water, and no one knew if they would still be alive when the sun shone on the land again tomorrow.
