"Although this is a good thing, I am afraid that Xi Yu will be complacent and become a tyrant in the future." Wen Xuan's tone revealed a hint of worry.

Lu Su stared into the distance, his voice firm and steady.

"The king is not such a person, and I am sure he will not let himself fall into the trap of pride."

Suddenly, Lu Su felt very strange.

How could Wen Xuan call Xi Yu by his name?

So he brought the situation up.

"I call him by his name a lot, what's wrong with that?" Wen Xuan took it for granted, which made Lu Su suddenly feel speechless.

Lu Su carefully thought about the scene when Wen Xuan and Xi Yu were together, and it seemed to be true.

The two people directly call each other by name.

But Xi Yu didn't mean to be unhappy, could it be that Xi Yu liked Wenxuan?

And his face was red.

Wen Xuan immediately understood what Lu Su meant, but she didn't want to defend herself, because sometimes the more she explained, the darker it became, in fact, it was not as Lu Su thought.

Wen Xuan frowned slightly.

"I hope so. Power tends to make people change, and we can't take it lightly. ”

"I understand your concern, but we can't be overly pessimistic. The king will not be like this. "Anyway, Lu Su has absolute trust in Xi Yu.

Wen Xuan nodded.

"I hope he can keep his original intention and not be corrupted by power."

At this time, a gentle breeze blows, bringing with it the fragrance of the flowers in the garden.

Wen Xuan took a deep breath, and his mood seemed to be a little lighter.

After a while, Lu Su left, and Dongfang Hong came to Wenxuan's office.

Dongfang Hong smiled and said to Wen Xuan: "Wen Xuan, Xi Yu has now obtained Luoyang, and he will dominate the Central Plains in the next step, I am very happy and want to share this joy with you." ”

Wen Xuan replied lightly, "What does this have to do with me?" ”

Dongfang Hong continued: "I want to go to the restaurant with you to celebrate in the evening, and by the way, we can also chat." You don't have to tutor Xi Yu's son now, you should have time, right? ”

Wen Xuan replied bluntly: "I don't want to go, I'm not interested in these things." ”

Dongfang Hong was a little surprised, and he asked, "Why?" Aren't you happy for what Xi Yu has achieved? ”

Wen Xuan replied coldly, "Why should I be happy for him? He is him, I am me, and we have nothing to do with each other. ”

Dongfanghong tried to explain.

"Wen Xuan, don't be like this. Xi Yu is our friend, and his success is also an honor for us. ”

Wen Xuan interrupted him.

"Dongfanghong, do you have to let me say it so bluntly? Of course I'm happy for Xi Yu, but I don't want to be alone with you. ”

At this moment, Dongfang Hong was stunned for a moment.

"I know you like me, but I have no feelings for you. I hope you don't pester me anymore, it's impossible between us. ”

Dongfanghong's face became gloomy, and he clenched his fists, trying to control his emotions.

He took a deep breath and tried to calm himself down.

"Wen Xuan, I know you have no feelings for me. But, I still want to tell you that I like you. I won't give up, I'll keep working until you accept me. Dongfanghong's voice was firm and sincere.

Wen Xuan's face was slightly moved, but she still maintained a firm attitude.

"Dongfanghong, I appreciate your love for me. However, I already have my life and goals and I don't want to change them. I hope you can understand me, and I hope you can let go of this feeling and find your own happiness. ”

If a person likes himself and has to be attached, then let himself like it.

But if you don't like it, it will only make you sick.

Dongfang Hong listened to Wen Xuan's words silently, he knew that what Wen Xuan said was the truth.

He felt a sense of loss, but he also understood that he couldn't force Wen Xuan to accept him.

"Okay, Wen Xuan. I will respect your choice. Still, I hope we can stay friends. Dongfang Hong barely squeezed out a smile.

Wen Xuan nodded, she didn't want to lose Dongfang Hong's friend. "Of course, we're still friends."

Dongfang Hong nodded, walked out quickly, and gradually left the academy.

Dongfanghong walked alone on the street, feeling very heavy.

His mind kept recalling Wen Xuan's words of rejecting him, and his heart was filled with pain and loss.

He didn't know how long he had been walking, but he finally came to a restaurant.

He looked up at the sign of the restaurant, and an inexplicable impulse surged in his heart.

He walked into the restaurant, found a corner and sat down, and then beckoned to the shopkeeper.

"Bring me the best wine." Dongfang Hong said in a stiff tone.

The shopkeeper brought him a jar of wine.

Dongfanghong's face gradually became ruddy, and his eyes began to become blurred.

His thoughts blurred, and the pain in his heart seemed to lessen somewhat.

Luoyang.

Xi Yu was dressed in a plain robe and walked steadily on the road.

He was followed by Zhao Yun, and the two of them wanted to walk around the city.

Zhao Yun said in a low voice: "King, recently, many rich people in Luoyang City hope to get acquainted with you. They specially set up a banquet, hoping that you can enjoy the light and go to the banquet. ”

"Oh, when did this happen?"

Zhao Yun said that when he was also taking a walk last night, many rich people saw him and expressed this meaning.

It just so happened that Xi Yu was looking for himself to go out today, so he took this opportunity to tell the story.

Xi Yu frowned slightly, he didn't want to get involved in such an occasion, but after thinking about it, it was inevitable to deal with these people in the future in Luoyang to develop a business association.

So, he nodded and said, "Well, in that case, I'll go for a walk." When and where? ”

"Tomorrow night, Yanyu Building".

In this way, Xi Yu agreed.

The next day, night fell, and the lights came on.

Xi Yu came to the magnificent restaurant Yanyu Lou in the city.

The restaurant is brightly lit and splendid, and the rich people are dressed in gorgeous costumes and gather in groups to talk and laugh.

As soon as Xi Yu entered the door, it attracted everyone's attention. The rich people came forward one after another, with smiles on their faces and sycophants.

"King, you can come to the banquet, it's really a blessing for our three lives!"

"Yes, my lord, we have been waiting for you to come here."

Xi Yu responded with a smile, but he couldn't help but feel a little bored in his heart.

He understood that the purpose of these people was nothing more than to obtain more commercial benefits through him.

At this time, a gorgeously dressed middle-aged man stepped forward and arched his hand: "Wang, Caomin's surname is Li, and he is a wealthy merchant in Luoyang City. It is a privilege to see the King today. This table of banquet is specially set up for the king, please take a seat. ”

Xi Yu thanked him, and then sat down at the banquet.

Seeing this, everyone sat around him and continued to talk with him.

After the kind words were finished, after a while, someone got to the point.

"Wang, I heard that there is a business association in Youzhou, I wonder if there is a specific plan here?"

"My lord, if there is a need, we will give it our full support."

Xi Yu sighed in his heart, these people really came for the business association.

He raised his head and said with a firm gaze: "Everyone, Xi Yu is here to thank you for your kindness. The development of business associations is to promote the commercial prosperity of Luoyang City, not for personal gain. Sooner or later, a chamber of commerce will be established, please rest assured. ”

So everyone was happy, and Xi Yu remembered Youzhou again.

When the business association was established in Youzhou, many merchants were a little unhappy, but Luoyang is a different scene.

Is it because of the high quality of the people here? Or is it because they don't know the situation at the moment, so they are looking forward to it?

But anyway, let's hope they can continue to be enthusiastic.

Next, everyone began to drink and eat with enthusiasm.

The next morning, the sun shone into the courtyard, and it was peaceful.

The soldier who had gone to report hurried back, with a hint of joy on his face.

Seeing the soldier returning, he hurried up to meet him and asked, "How is the situation?" How did the ladies react when they found out? ”

The soldier bowed and replied, "Back to the king, the ladies have already learned about you. ”

Xi Yu asked, "Then how did they react?" Describe it carefully. ”

There was a hint of concern in his voice, for he cared so much about what the ladies thought.

The soldier thought for a moment, and then said, "When Madame Sun heard this, she immediately smiled. She said: 'My husband is really extraordinary, and his achievements are admirable. Madame Ouyang was calmer, and she nodded, "My husband's ability has always been outstanding, and this news is not surprising. ’……”

Xi Yu quietly listened to the soldier's description, and his heart was full of thoughts. He knows Sun Shangxiang's heroism and straightforwardness, and he also understands Ouyang Linlin's intelligence and restraint.

"Alright, you can retreat first."

After the soldiers retreated, Xi Yu thought of several wives and his own son, and he really hoped to go home and reunite with them in a few days.

After a while, another soldier who reported the news arrived with Sun Quan.

Sunlight shines through the gaps in the leaves and sprinkles on the ground, creating patches of dappled light and shadow.

Sun Quan stepped forward quickly, saluted Xi Yu, and congratulated: "King, I heard that you have captured Luoyang, it is really gratifying!" ”

Xi Yu returned the salute with a smile and said, "This is not the credit of this king alone, but also the credit of many soldiers. ”

In the end, Xi Yu sat Sun Quan down, briefly asked about the situation of the Youzhou Business Association, and began to get to the point.

"I think you have the ability to manage Luoyang well, so I hope you can serve as the assassin here."

Sun Quan was taken aback when he heard this, and hurriedly said: "The king has praised it, and his subordinates may not be able to do it." ”

Xi Yu encouraged: "I believe in your ability, you will definitely be able to do it." ”

Sun Quan looked at Xi Yu's firm eyes, and felt a little more confident in his heart, he nodded and promised: "Since the king trusts me so much, I will go all out to live up to your high expectations!" ”

At this time, the soldier heard Xi Yu's appointment, and he also thought in his heart.

"Sun Quan is the assassin of the history, and he will definitely be able to manage Luoyang well!"

And Xi Yu suddenly remembered that after obtaining Luoyang, he had not entertained several generals.

It just so happens that Sun Quan is here today, so it's better to have a banquet.

The food in Yanyulou that day was very good, so why don't you go anywhere.

In the evening, Xi Yu really came here to entertain the generals.

In the spacious tent, Xi Yu sat around with Zhao Yun, Zhou Yu and other generals, and the table was full of wine and delicacies.

The faces of the crowd were filled with the joy of victory, and the atmosphere was relaxed and cheerful.

Xi Yu smiled and raised his glass, and said to everyone: "This victory is thanks to the heroic and good fighting of the generals, and it is your excellent performance that has achieved such results. ”

Zhao Yun laughed heartily and said, "The king has won the prize." If it weren't for your strategy, how could we have won so smoothly? ”

Zhou Yu also nodded in agreement.

Xi Yu shook his head slightly, and said with a smile: "You guys have a good reputation, this victory is the result of everyone's joint efforts. ”

At this time, the generals raised their glasses to celebrate this hard-won victory.

Laughter and words mingled and filled the room.

On the other side, Liu Xie and the little eunuch had been on the road for several days in a row, their bodies were exhausted, and their clothes were stained with dust and lost their original color.

Every step was like moving forward in a heavy quagmire, but they did not dare to relax in the slightest, let alone reveal their identities to the outside world.

As night fell, they finally found an inn.

This inn looks a little old, revealing the vicissitudes of time. The lights in the room were dim, barely illuminating the surrounding space.

Liu Xie sat on the humble bed, while the little eunuch stood quietly aside, his face full of worry.

The little eunuch finally couldn't help crying, and his voice trembled and said, "Your Majesty, how have you ever suffered so much? We have suffered a lot along the way, but the slave has nothing, just the body of His Majesty's gold......"

Liu Xie took a deep breath and tried to keep his voice calm.

"Don't be afraid, we'll get through it. As long as you get to Youzhou, everything will be easy. ”

There was a determined glint in his gaze.

The little eunuch raised his head and looked at Liu Xie with teary eyes.

"But, Your Majesty, the journey has been too difficult. How long will we have to walk to get to Youzhou? ”

Liu Xie said: "It will be almost the same in a few days." ”

The little eunuch nodded silently, trying to stop the tears. Liu Xie looked at him, and couldn't help but feel a wave of emotion in his heart.

In this difficult time, they rely on each other to face unknown challenges together.

Liu Xie stood up and walked to the window. He stared out the window into the darkness, his mind full of thoughts.

"I don't know if Xi Yu has broken through Luoyang"? Liu Xie's eyes were full of anticipation.

Because the news is also very closed now, I don't know what the development is now.

However, when the little eunuch heard the name Xi Yu, he was very unhappy.

Because Xi Yu has been developing himself, he can't really think about the emperor.

Who can Your Majesty point to? Counting on Dong Zhuo and Cao Pi, they are all like jackals, and now they can't count on Xi Yu.

Liu Xie turned his head and saw the little eunuch like this, and he understood what he was thinking.

"Okay, you don't have to be sad, some things are also predestined."

The little eunuch sighed and said nothing more.

"Your Majesty, it's not too early, let's hurry up and rest." As he spoke, the little eunuch came to serve Liu Xie to change his clothes.

The next day, Liu Xie and the little eunuch continued their journey.

They followed a winding path and passed a small village in the middle of nowhere.

Just when they thought they could pass smoothly, they suddenly encountered a group of robbers.

The robbers blocked their way and shouted viciously: "Get out the money!" ”

Liu Xie and the little eunuch glanced at each other, and Liu Xie replied calmly: "We are just ordinary travelers, and we don't have any money. ”

The little eunuch also hurriedly echoed: "Yes, big brothers, we are all poor families, and we really have no money. ”

However, the robbers did not believe their words.

One of the robbers stared at Liu Xie, looking up and down, and then sneered: "You look like an extraordinary person, how can you have no money?" ”

With that, they pressed over to Liu Xie and the little eunuch.

The little eunuch was undaunted and stepped forward to fight the robbers. But in the end, they were outnumbered, and in the end the little eunuch was brutally killed by the robbers.

Liu Xie watched all this happen, and his heart was full of helplessness and grief.

His legs went limp, and he involuntarily knelt down, tears welling up in his eyes.

He said with a crying voice: "I really only have some daily coils on me, and I don't have any extra money. The robbers searched Liu Xie's body and found that there was indeed no more belongings, so they left with a curse.

After the robbers left, Liu Xie collapsed to the ground and cried loudly. He felt that he was so cooped that he could not even protect his entourage.

I can't think of an emperor who actually kneels down to others.

He suddenly regretted it, shouldn't he leave the palace? I don't know what happened to Liu Song.

How is it good to be threatened in the palace and threatened when you go out?

He remembered the companionship and loyalty of the little eunuch along the way, and his heart was full of guilt and self-blame.

I can't help it, now I can only continue to rush alone.

And in the process of rushing, he walked very slowly because of excessive sadness.

In addition, thinking about the loyal little eunuch made him feel particularly uncomfortable.

After another night under such circumstances, his face was particularly ugly, and his head was drowsy.

Passing through a village, he fell off his horse and fell into a coma.

At this moment, a gust of wind blew, blowing his clothes constantly and swinging.

On this day, Xi Yu took Sun Quan to learn about the situation in Luoyang City, and the two decided to ride a horse to Luoyang City.

It took them a day to get to the bottom of the situation, and at night, Xi Yu suddenly remembered, isn't Yao Maoyu Sun Shangxiang's relative? It's better to let Sun Quan recognize it.

So he sent someone to call Yao Maoyu over.

"Zhongmou, there is one person next, who says it is your relative, can you see if it is"?

Sun Quan felt very surprised, his relatives?

So who is that?

At this moment, he was full of anticipation and felt a special curiosity. (End of chapter)
